federal income tax purposes or to provide funds to make any distribution for a

following:
"(ii) For purposes of this Section 3.05, the Unitholder's
"Income Distribution" shall be equal to such Unitholders pro rata share

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

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 until
repaid."
12. With respect to any Trust that has not elected to be taxed as a

Code of 1986, as amended, Section 3.05 is hereby amended by adding the following
immediately after Section 3.05(b)(v):

elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" as defined in the United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that such sale is necessary or
advisable (i) to maintain the qualification of the Trust as a regulated
investment company or (ii) to provide funds to make any distribution for a
taxable year in order to avoid imposition of any income or excise taxes on the
Trust or on undistributed income in the Trust."
14. If the Trust has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment
company" as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended Section 3.12(a) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
replaced in its entirety with the following:
"(a) The Replacement Securities shall be Zero Coupon Obligations or
Equity Securities as originally selected for deposit in the Trust or securities
which the Depositor determines to be similar in character as Securities
originally selected for deposit in the Trust, and any Replacement Securities
which are Zero Coupon Obligations must have the same maturity value as the
Failed Contract Security and, as close as is reasonably practical, the same
maturity date, which must be on or prior to the Mandatory Termination Date;"
15. Section 3.11 is revised by replacing the first paragraph of such
Section with the 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."
16. The Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be amended to
include the following section: "Section 3.19. Regulated Investment Company
Election. If the Prospectus for a Trust states that such Trust intends to elect
to be treated and to qualify as a "regulated investment company" as defined in
the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Trustee is
hereby directed to make such elections and take all actions, including any
appropriate election to be taxed as a corporation, as shall be necessary to
effect such qualification or to provide funds to make any distribution for a
taxable year in order to avoid imposition of any income or excise tax on the
Trust or on undistributed income in the Trust. The Trustee shall make such
reviews of each Trust portfolio as shall be necessary to maintain qualification
of a particular Trust as regulated investment company and to avoid imposition of
tax on a Trust or undistributed income in a Trust, and the Depositor and
Supervisor shall be authorized to rely conclusively upon such reviews.
17. The first paragraph of Section 4.01 is hereby replaced with the
following:
"Section 4.01. Compensation. As compensation for providing supervisory
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
amount equal to 0.025% of the average daily Trust Evaluation (described in
Section 6.01)."
18. 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."
19. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust and unless the Depositor instructs otherwise, if the Trustee
sells, redeems or otherwise liquidates Securities pursuant to Section 6.02 to
satisfy Unit redemptions, the Trustee shall do so, as nearly as practicable, on
a pro rata basis among all Securities held by the Trust.
20. 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."
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. 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.
24. Section 9.01 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
replaced in its entirety with the following: "Section 9.01. Amendments. (a) This
Indenture may be amended from time to time by the Depositor and Trustee or their
respective successors, without the consent of any of the Unitholders, (i) to
cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein
which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained
herein, (ii) to make such other provision in regard to matters or questions
arising hereunder as shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the
Unitholders or (iii) to make such amendments as may be necessary (a) for the
Trust to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal
income tax purposes if the Trust has elected to be taxed as such under the
United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (b) to prevent the
Trust from being deemed an association taxable as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes if the Trust has not elected to be taxed as a regulated
investment company under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. This Indenture may not be amended, however, without the consent of all
Unitholders then outstanding, so as (1) to permit, except in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof, the acquisition hereunder of any Securities other
than those specified in the Schedules to the Trust Agreement or (2) to reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Units the holders of which are required to consent
to certain of such amendments. This Indenture may not be amended so as to reduce
the interest in a Trust represented by Units (whether evidenced by Certificates
or held in uncertificated form) without the consent of all affected Unitholders.
(b) Except for the amendments, changes or modifications as provided in
Section 9.01(a) hereof, neither the parties hereto nor their respective
successors shall consent to any other amendment, change or modification of this
Indenture without the giving of notice and the obtaining of the approval or
consent of Unitholders representing at least 66 2/3% of the Units then
outstanding of the affected Trust. Nothing contained in this Section 9.01(b)
shall permit, or be construed as permitting, a reduction of the aggregate
percentage of Units the holders of which are required to consent to any
amendment, change or modification of this Indenture without the consent of the
Unitholders of all of the Units then outstanding of the affected Trust and in no
event may any amendment be made which would (1) alter the rights to the
Unitholders as against each other, (2) provide the Trustee with the power to
engage in business or investment activities other than as specifically provided
in this Indenture, (3) adversely affect the tax status of the Trust for federal
income tax purposes or result in the Units being deemed to be sold or exchanged
for federal income tax purposes or (4) unless the Trust has elected to be taxed
as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes, result in a
variation of the investment of Unitholders in the Trust.
(c) Unless the Depositor directs that other notice shall be provided,
the Trustee shall include in the annual report provided pursuant to Section 3.06
notification of the substance of such amendment."
25 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust, no Unitholder may elect to have Units redeemed through an
In Kind Distribution within thirty (30) days of any Trust termination pursuant
to Section 9.02.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Trust Agreement to
be executed; all as of the day, month and year first above written.
