PART II

2. The fractional undivided interest in and ownership of the Trust
represented by each Unit thereof referred to in Section 1.01(56) is initially an

3. The aggregate number of Units described in Section 2.03(a) for the
Trust is that number of Units set forth under "Initial number of Units" for the
Trust in the "Essential Information" in the Prospectus.
4. Section 1.01(5) is replaced in its entirety by the following:

Stock Exchange is open for regular trading."
5. The terms "Capital Account Distribution Date" and "Income Account

"Essential Information" in the Prospectus.
6. The terms "Capital Account Record Date" and "Income Account
Record Date" shall mean the "Record Dates" set forth in the "Essential
Information" in the Prospectus.
7. The term "Deferred Sales Charge Payment Date" shall mean June 10,
2006 and the 10th day of each month thereafter through October 10, 2006 with
respect to the amount designated "Deferred sales charge in first year" in the
"Fee Table" in the Prospectus and June 10, 2007 and the 10th day of each month

10. 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."
11. Section 6.02 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall
be amended by adding the following to the end of such Section:
"Notwithstanding anything to he contrary herein, each Unitholder
who holds Units designated with a "Classic CUSIP" number will be deemed to have
tendered all Units then owned for redemption to the Trustee on the Special
Redemption Date set forth under "Essential Information" in the Prospectus and
shall have such Units redeemed on such date as provided herein."
12. 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."
13. 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Trust Agreement to
be executed; all as of the day, month and year first above written.
