rected by the Depositor, sell Securities identified by the Depositor, or
distribute to the Depositor Securities having a value, as determined under
Section 4.01 as of the date of distribution, sufficient for such

directs, used for payment of redemptions in excess of the per-Unit amount
allocable to Units tendered for redemption.
E. The third paragraph of Section 3.05 is hereby amended to add
the following sentence after the first sentence thereof: "Depositor may
direct the Trustee to invest the proceeds of any sale of Securities not
required for the redemption of Units in eligible money market instruments
selected by the Depositor which will include only negotiable certificates
of deposit or time deposits of domestic banks which are members of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and which have, together with their
branches or subsidiaries, more than $2 billion in total assets, except that
certificates of deposit or time deposits of smaller domestic banks may be
held provided the deposit does not exceed the insurance coverage on the
instrument (which currently is $100,000), and provided further that the
Trust's aggregate holding of certificates of deposit or time deposits
issued by the Trustee may not ex-
-4-
ceed the insurance coverage of such obligations and U.S. Treasury notes or
bills (which shall be held until the maturity thereof) each of which
matures prior to the earlier of the next following Distribution Date or 90

to be taken by holders of the securities held by the Trust in connection
with any proposed merger, reorganization, spin-off, split-off or split-up
by the issuer of stock or securities held in the Trust, the Trustee shall
take such action or refrain from taking any action, as appropriate, so as
to insure that the securities are voted as closely as possible in the same
manner and in the same general proportion as are the securities held by
owners other than the Trust. If stock or securities are received by the
Trustee, with or without cash, as a result of any merger, reorganization,
spin-off, split-off or split-up by the issuer of stock or securities held
in the Trust, the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor may retain such
stock or securities in the Trust. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee
shall be liable to any person for any action or failure to take action with
respect to this section.
H. Section 1.01 is amended to add the following definition: (9)
"Deferred Sales Charge" shall mean any deferred sales charge payable in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.14 hereof, as set forth in the
prospectus for a Trust. Definitions following this definition (9) shall be
renumbered.
I. Section 3.05 is hereby amended to add the following
paragraph after the end thereof: On each Deferred Sales Charge payment date
set forth in the prospectus for
-5-
a Trust, the Trustee shall pay the account created pursuant to Section 3.14
the amount of the Deferred Sales Charge payable on each such date as stated
in the prospectus for a Trust. Such amount shall be withdrawn from the
Principal Account from the amounts therein designated for such purpose.
J. Section 3.06B(3) shall be amended by adding the following:
"and any Deferred Sales Charge paid".
K. Section 3.08 shall be amended by adding the following at the
end thereof: "In order to pay the Deferred Sales Charge, the Trustee shall
sell or liquidate an amount of Securities at such time and from time to
time and in such manner as the Depositor shall direct such that the
proceeds of such sale or liquidation shall equal the amount required to be
paid to the Depositor pursuant to the Deferred Sales Charge program as set
forth in the prospectus for a Trust.
L. Section 3.14 shall be added as follows:
Section 3.14. Deferred Sales Charge. If the prospectus for a
Trust specifies a Deferred Sales Charge, the Trustee shall, on the dates
specified in and as permitted by the prospectus, withdraw from the Income
Account if such account is designated in the prospectus as the source of
the payments of the Deferred Sales Charge, or to the extent funds are not
available in that account or if such account is not so designated, from the
Principal Account, an amount per Unit specified in the prospectus and
credit such amount to a special, non-Trust account maintained at the
Trustee out of which the Deferred Sales Charge will be distributed to the
Depositor. If the Income Account is not designated as the source of the
Deferred Sales Charge payment or if the balances in the Income and
Principal Accounts are insufficient to make any such withdrawal, the
Trustee shall, as directed by the Depositor, either advance funds, if so
agreed to by the Trustee, in an amount equal to the proposed withdrawal and
be entitled to reimbursement of such advance upon the deposit of additional
monies in the Income Account or the Principal Account, sell Securities and
credit the proceeds thereof to such special Depositor's account or credit
Securities in kind to such special Depositor's Account. Such directions
shall identify the Securities, if any, to be
-6-
sold or distributed in kind and shall contain, if the Trustee is directed
by the Depositor to sell a Security, instructions as to execution of such
sales. If a Unit Holder redeems Units prior to full payment of the Deferred
Sales Charge, the Trustee shall, if so provided in the prospectus, on the
Redemption Date, withhold from the Redemption Price payment to such Unit
Holder an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Deferred Sales Charge
and distribute such amount to such special Depositor's account or, if the
Depositor shall purchase such Unit pursuant to the terms of Section 5.02
hereof, the Depositor shall pay the Redemption Price for such Unit less the
unpaid portion of the Deferred Sales Charge. The Depositor may at any time
instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Depositor cash or Securities
previously credited to the special Depositor's account.
