      branches or subsidiaries, more than $2 billion in total assets, except

      earlier of the 90th day after receipt or the next following Distribution

            E.    The first sentence of each of Sections 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 is

            F.    The following new Section 3.13 is added:

            Section 3.13.  Extraordinary Event - Security Retention and Voting.
      In the event the Trustee is notified of any action to be taken or
      proposed 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.

            G.    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 3.12 hereof, as set forth in
      the prospectus for a Trust.  Definitions following this definition (9)
      shall be renumbered.

            H.    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 a Trust, the Trustee shall pay the account
      created pursuant to Section 3.12 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      amount shall be withdrawn from the Principal Account from the amounts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.

            I.    Section 3.06B(3) shall be amended by adding the following:
      "and any Deferred Sales Charge paid".

            J.    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.

            K.    Section 3.12 shall be added as follows:

            Section 3.12.  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 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.

                                      II.
