Distribution" shall be equal to such Unitholders pro rata share of the balance
in the Income Account calculated on the basis of one-twelfth of the estimated
annual income to the Trust for the ensuing twelve months computed as of the
close of business on the Income Account Record Date immediately preceding such
Income Distribution (or portion or multiple thereof for the first Income
Distribution), after deduction of (1) the fees and expenses then deductible
pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and (2) the Trustee's estimate of other expenses
properly chargeable to the Income Account pursuant to this Indenture which have
accrued, as of such Income Account Record Date or are otherwise properly
attributable to the period to which such Income Distribution relates.
In the event that the amount on deposit in the Income Account is not
sufficient for the payment of the amount intended to be distributed to
Unitholders on the basis of the aforesaid computation, the Trustee is authorized
to advance its own funds and cause to be deposited in and credited to the Income
Account such amounts as may be required to permit payment of the related
distribution to be made as aforesaid and shall be entitled to be reimbursed,
without interest, out of income payments received by the Trust subsequent to the
date of such advance. Any such advance shall be reflected in the Income Account

following:
"Section 3.11. Notice to Depositor. In the event that the Trustee shall
have been notified at any time of any action to be taken or proposed to be taken
with respect to the Securities (including but not limited to the making of any
demand, direction, request, giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the
voting with respect to any amendment or supplement to any indenture, resolution,
agreement or other instrument under or pursuant to which the Securities have
been issued) the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor and shall thereupon
take such action or refrain from taking any action, as appropriate, so as to
insure that such Securities are voted as closely as possible in the same manner
and the same general proportion, with respect to all issues, as are the shares
of such Securities held by owners other than the Trust unless the Depositor
instructs otherwise within five Business Days of the giving of such notice to
the Depositor."
11. The term "Supervisor" shall mean Xxxxx & Steers Capital Management,
Inc. and its successors in interest, or any successor portfolio
supervisor appointed as provided in the Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust.

portfolio services under this Indenture, the Trust will accrue daily and pay to
the Supervisor at the end of each calendar quarter an aggregate annual fee in an

Section 6.01)."
14. Sections 5.01(b) and (c) are replaced in their entirety by the
following:
"(b) During the initial offering period of a Trust (as determined by the
Depositor), the Evaluation for each Security shall be made in the following
manner: (i) with respect to Securities for which market quotations are readily
available, such Evaluation shall be made on the basis of the market value of
such Securities; and (ii) with respect to other Securities' such Evaluation
shall be made on the basis of the fair value of such Securities as determined in
good faith by the Trustee. If the Securities are listed on a national or foreign
securities exchange or traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and market
quotations of such Securities are readily available, the market value of such
Securities shall generally be based on the last available closing sale price on
or immediately prior to the Evaluation Time on the exchange or market which is
the principal market therefor, which shall be deemed to be the New York Stock
Exchange if the Securities are listed thereon. In the case of Zero Coupon
Obligations, such Evaluation shall be made on the basis of current offer side
prices for the Zero Coupon Obligations as obtained from investment dealers or
brokers who customarily deal in securities comparable to those held by the Trust
and, if offer side prices are not available for the Zero Coupon Obligations, on
the basis of offer side price for comparable securities, by determining the
valuation of the Zero Coupon Obligations on the offer side of the market by
appraisal or by any combination of the above. If the Trust holds Securities
denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Evaluation of such
Security shall be converted to U.S. dollars based on current offering side
exchange rates (unless the Trustee deems such prices inappropriate as a basis
for valuation). For each Evaluation, the Trustee shall also confirm and furnish
to the Depositor the calculation of the Trust Evaluation to be computed pursuant
to Section 6.01.
(c) After the initial offering period of Units of a Trust (as determined by
the Depositor), Evaluation of the Securities shall be made in the manner
described in Section 5.01(b) on the basis of current bid side prices for Zero
Coupon Obligations and the bid side value of any relevant currency exchange rate
expressed in U.S. dollars."
15. The second sentence of Section 7.01(e)(2)(E) shall be replaced in its
entirety by "Such Prospectus shall also contain disclosure concerning
the Depositor's responsibilities described in (D) above."
16. The Trustee's annual compensation rate described in Section 7.04 shall
be that amount set forth under "Trustee's fee and operating expenses"
in the "Fee Table" in the Prospectus.
17. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust, the Trustee shall waive or offset fees otherwise
payable by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.05 in an amount equal to
any compensation (including, but not limited to, fees paid pursuant to
a plan adopted by the issuer of a Security under Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940) received by the Depositor, the Trustee
or any Affiliated Person of the Depositor or Trustee from the issuer
of a Security in connection with the Trust's investment in such
Security. The term "Affiliated Person" shall mean "affiliated person"
as that term is defined in section 2 of the Investment Company Act of
1940 and rules promulgated thereunder.
18. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust, if the Trustee sells, redeems or otherwise
liquidates Securities pursuant to Section 6.02 to satisfy Unit
redemptions or pursuant to Section 7.04 to pay Trust expenses, the
Trustee shall do so, as nearly as practicable, on a pro rata basis
among all Securities held by the Trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Trust Agreement to be
executed; all as of the day, month and year first above written.
