Internet Trust, Series 10 Telecommunications Trust, Series 2
Health Care & Pharmaceuticals Trust, Series 2 Utility Trust, Series 2

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund. Van Kampen American Capital Equity Opportunity Trust, Series 100
(the "Fund") is comprised of the underlying separate unit investment trusts
described above (the "Trusts"). The Trusts offer investors the opportunity to
purchase Units representing proportionate interests in separate fixed portfolios
of actively traded equity securities issued by companies diversified within a
specific industry sector, which may include securities of foreign issuers in
American Depositary Receipt ("ADRs") form ("Equity Securities" or "Securities").
See "Trust Portfolios". Unless terminated earlier, the Trusts will terminate on
the Mandatory Termination Date and any Securities then held will, within a
reasonable time thereafter, be liquidated or distributed by the Trustee. Any
Securities liquidated at termination will be sold at the then current market
value for such Securities; therefore, the amount distributable in cash to a
Unitholder upon termination may be more or less than the amount such Unitholder
paid for his Units. Upon liquidation, Unitholders may choose to reinvest their
proceeds into a new trust, if available, at a reduced sales charge, to receive a
cash distribution or to receive a pro rata distribution of the Securities (if
they own the requisite number of Units).
Attention Foreign Investors. If you are not a United States citizen or
resident, distributions will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding
taxes; however, under certain circumstances treaties between the United States
and other countries may reduce or eliminate such withholding tax. See "Federal
Taxation." Such investors should consult their tax advisers regarding the
imposition of U.S.
withholding on distributions.
Objective of the Trusts. The objective of the Trusts is to provide the
potential for capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of equity
securities diversified within a particular industry sector. See "Objectives and
Securities Selection". There is, of course, no guarantee that the objective of a
Trust will be achieved.
Public Offering Price. The Public Offering Price of the Units during the
initial offering period and for secondary market transactions after the initial
offering period includes the aggregate underlying value of the Securities, an
initial sales charge, and cash, if any, in the Income and Capital Accounts. The
initial sales charge is computed as described under "Public Offering--General".
Unitholders will also be subject to a deferred sales charge as described under
"Public Offering--General". During the initial offering period, the sales charge
is reduced on a graduated scale for sales involving at least 10,000 Units of a
Trust. If Units were available for purchase at the close of business on the day
before the Initial Date of Deposit, the Public Offering Price per Unit would
have been that amount set forth under "Summary of Essential Financial
Information". Except as provided in "Public Offering--Unit Distribution", the
minimum purchase is 100 Units (25 Units for qualified retirement plans) but may
vary by selling firm. See "Public Offering".
Additional Deposits. The Sponsor may, from time to time after the Initial
Date of Deposit, deposit additional Securities in the Trusts as provided under
"The Trusts".
Dividend and Capital Distributions. Distributions of dividends and capital,
if any, received by a Trust will be paid in cash on the Distribution Dates to
Unitholders of record on the record date as set forth in the "Summary of
Essential Financial Information". The estimated initial distribution for each
Trust is set forth under "Summary of Essential Financial Information" and will
be made on December 25, 1998. Gross dividends received by a Trust will be
distributed to Unitholders. Expenses of a Trust will be paid with proceeds from
the sale of Securities. For the consequences of such sales, see "Federal
Taxation". Additionally, upon surrender of Units for redemption or termination
of a Trust, the Trustee will distribute to each Unitholder his pro rata share of
the Trust's assets, less expenses, in the manner set forth under "Rights of
Unitholders--Distributions of Income and Capital". Units are not insured by the
FDIC, are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository
institution or any government agency and are subject to investment risk,
including possible loss of the principal amount invested.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
Secondary Market For Units. Although not obligated to do so, the Sponsor
currently intends to maintain a market for Units and offer to repurchase such
Units at prices which are based on the aggregate underlying value of Equity
Securities (generally determined by the closing sale or bid prices of the
Securities) plus or minus cash, if any, in the Capital and Income Accounts. If a
secondary market is not maintained, a Unitholder may redeem Units at prices
based upon the aggregate underlying value of the Equity Securities plus or minus
a pro rata share of cash, if any, in the Capital and Income Accounts. See
"Rights of Unitholders--Redemption of Units". Units sold or tendered for
redemption prior to such time as the entire deferred sales charge on such Units
has been collected will be assessed the amount of the remaining deferred sales
charge at the time of sale or redemption. A Unitholder tendering 1,000 or more
Units for redemption may request a distribution of shares of Securities (reduced
by customary transfer and registration charges) in lieu of payment in cash. See
"Rights of Unitholders--Redemption of Units".
Termination. The Trusts will terminate approximately two years following the
Initial Date of Deposit. At least 30 days prior to the Mandatory Termination
Date the Trustee will provide written notice thereof to all Unitholders and will
include with such notice a form to enable Unitholders to elect a distribution of
shares of the Securities (reduced by customary transfer and registration
charges) if such Unitholder owns at least 1,000 Units, rather than to receive
payment in cash for such Unitholder's pro rata share of the amounts realized
upon the disposition of such Securities. Unitholders will receive cash in lieu
of any fractional shares. To be effective, the election form, and any other
documentation required by the Trustee, must be returned to the Trustee at least
five business days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date. Unitholders may
elect to become Rollover Unitholders as described in "Special Redemption and
Rollover in New Trust" below. Rollover Unitholders will not receive the final
liquidation distribution but will receive units of a new trust, if one is being
offered. Unitholders not electing the Rollover Option or a distribution of
shares of Securities will receive a cash distribution from the sale of the
remaining Securities within a reasonable time after a Trust is terminated. See
"Trust Administration--Amendment or Termination".
Reinvestment Option. Unitholders of any Van Kampen American Capital-sponsored
unit investment trust may utilize their redemption or termination proceeds to
purchase Units of any other Van Kampen American Capital trust in the initial
offering period accepting rollover investments subject to a reduced sales charge
to the extent stated in the related prospectus (which may be deferred in certain
cases).
In the event that a distribution is made to Unitholders prior to a Trust's
termination, Unitholders will have such distributions reinvested into additional
Units of the Trust subject only to the remaining deferred sales charge payments
as set forth herein, if Units are available at the time of reinvestment, or
distributed in cash. See "Rights of Unitholders--Reinvestment Option".
Special Redemption and Rollover in New Trust. The Sponsor currently
anticipates that new series of the Fund will be created throughout the year.
Unitholders will have the option, subject to any necessary regulatory approval,
of specifying by either Rollover Notification Date stated in "Summary of
Essential Financial Information" to have all of their Units redeemed and the
distributed Securities sold by the Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution
Agent, on the related Special Redemption Date. (Unitholders so electing are
referred to herein as "Rollover Unitholders".) The Distribution Agent will
appoint the Sponsor as its agent to determine the manner, timing and execution
of sales of underlying Securities. The proceeds of the redemption will then be
invested in units of a new trust (the "New Trust"), if one is offered, at a
reduced sales charge. The Sponsor may, however, stop offering units of the New
Trust at any time in its sole discretion without regard to whether all the
proceeds to be invested have been invested. Cash which has not been invested on
behalf of the Rollover Unitholders in the New Trust will be distributed shortly
after the related Special Redemption Date. However, the Sponsor anticipates that
sufficient Units will be available, although moneys in the current Trusts may
not be fully invested on the next business day. The New Trust will contain a
portfolio of common stocks of diversified within a specific industry sector.
Rollover Unitholders will receive the amount of dividends in the Income Account
which will be included in the reinvestment in units of the New Trust.
Risk Factors. An investment in Units should be made with an understanding of
the risks associated therewith, including the possible deterioration of the
financial condition of the issuers, the general condition of the stock market
and stock price volatility. An investment should also be made with an
understanding of the special risks related to companies concentrated within a
single industry sector. For certain risk considerations related to the Trusts,
see "Risk Factors".

- ---------------------
(1)As of the close of business on any day on which the Sponsor is the sole
Unitholder of a Trust, the number of Units may be adjusted so that the Public
Offering Price per Unit will equal approximately $10. Therefore, to the
extent of any such adjustment the fractional undivided interest per Unit will
increase or decrease from the amount indicated above.
(2)Each Security listed on a national securities exchange is valued at the
closing sale price or if the Security is not so listed, at the asked price
thereof.
(3)The Sales Charge consists of an initial sales charge and a deferred sales
charge. The initial sales charge is applicable to all Units and represents an
amount equal to the difference between the total sales charge (3.25% of the
Public Offering Price) and the amount of the deferred sales charge ($0.225
per Unit). Unitholders will also be subject to a deferred sales charge equal
to $0.225 per Unit. Subsequent to the Initial Date of Deposit, the amount of
the initial sales charge will vary with changes in the aggregate value of the
Securities. Units purchased subsequent to the initial deferred sales charge
payment will be subject only to that portion of the deferred sales charge
payments not yet collected. These deferred sales charge payments will be paid
from funds in the Capital Account, if sufficient, or from the periodic sale
of Securities. See the "Fee Table" below and "Public Offering--General".
(4)On the Initial Date of Deposit there will be no cash in the Income or Capital
Accounts. Anyone ordering Units after such date will have included in the
Public Offering Price a pro rata share of any cash in such Accounts.
(5)The Redemption Price per Unit and the Initial Secondary Market Repurchase
Price per Unit are reduced by the unpaid portion of the deferred sales
charge.
(6)Estimated annual dividends are based on annualizing the most recently
declared dividends. Estimated Annual Dividends per Unit are based on the
number of Units, the fractional undivided interest in the Securities per Unit
and the aggregate value of the Securities per Unit as of the Initial Date of
Deposit. Investors should note that the actual annual dividends received per
Unit will vary from the estimated amount due to changes in the factors
described in the preceding sentence and actual dividends declared and paid by
the issuers of the Securities.
(7)Each Trust (and therefore Unitholders) will bear all or a portion of its
organizational costs (including costs of preparing the registration
statement, the trust indenture and other closing documents, registering Units
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and states, the initial audit of
the Trust portfolio and the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee but not
including the expenses incurred in the preparation and printing of brochures
and other advertising materials and any other selling expenses) as is common
for mutual funds. Total organizational expenses will be amortized over two
years and paid from funds in the Capital Account, if sufficient, or from the
sale of Securities. See "Trust Operating Expenses" and "Statements of
Condition".
(8)No distribution will be made unless the amount available for distribution in
the Income and Capital Accounts equals at least $0.01 per Unit.
</TABLE>

FEE TABLE

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Fee Table is intended to assist investors in understanding the costs
and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. See "Public
Offering--General" and "Trust Operating Expenses". Although each Trust has a
fixed two year term, and is a unit investment trust rather than a mutual fund,
this information is presented to permit a comparison of fees. The example below
assumes that the principal amount of and distributions on an investment are
rolled over into a new Series of the Trust at termination subject only to the
anticipated reduced sales charge applicable to Rollover Unitholders. See "Right
of Unitholders--Special Redemption and Rollover in New Trust." Investors should
note that while this example is based on the public offering price and the
estimated fees for the current Trusts, the actual public offering price and fees
for any new trusts created in the future periods indicated could vary from those
of the current Trusts.

</TABLE>

The example assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at the
end of each year and utilizes a 5% annual rate of return as mandated by
Securities and Exchange Commission regulations applicable to mutual funds. For
purposes of the example, the deferred sales charge imposed on reinvestment of
dividends is not reflected until the year following payment of the dividend; the
cumulative expenses would be higher if sales charges on reinvested dividends
were reflected in the year of reinvestment. The example should not be considered
representations of past or future expenses or annual rate of return; the actual
expenses and annual rate of return may be more or less than those assumed for
purposes of the example.
- --------------------
(1)The Initial Sales Charge is actually the difference between the Total Sales
Charge (3.25% of the Public Offering Price) and the Deferred Sales Charges
($0.225 per Unit) and would exceed 1.00% if the Public Offering Price
exceeds $10 per Unit.
(2)The actual deferred sales charge is $0.225 per Unit, irrespective of
purchase or redemption price, deducted over eight months. If aUnitholder
sells or redeems Units before all of the deferred sales charge payments have
been deducted, the balance of the remaining payments will be deducted from
the sales or redemption proceeds. If Unit price exceeds $10 per Unit, the
deferred portion of the sales charge will be less than 2.25%; if Unit price
is less than $10 per Unit, the deferred portion of the sales charge will
exceed 2.25%. Units purchased subsequent to the initial deferred sales
charge payment will be subject to only that portion of the deferred sales
charge payments not yet collected.
(3)Reinvested dividends will be subject only to the deferred sales charge
remaining at the time of reinvestment. See "Rights of Unitholders--
Reinvestment Option".

THE TRUSTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Van Kampen American Capital Equity Opportunity Trust, Series 100 is comprised
of four underlying separate unit investment trusts designated as Internet Trust,
Series 10, Telecommunications Trust, Series 2, Health Care & Pharmaceuticals
Trust, Series 2 and Utility Trust, Series 2. The Fund was created under the laws
of the State of New York pursuant to a Trust Indenture and Trust Agreement (the
"Trust Agreement"), dated the date of this Prospectus (the "Initial Date of
Deposit"), among Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc., as Sponsor, Van
Kampen American Capital Investment Advisory Corp., as Supervisor, The Bank of
New York, as Trustee, and American Portfolio Evaluation Services, a division of
Van Kampen American Capital Investment Advisory Corp., as Evaluator.

The Trusts offer investors the opportunity to purchase Units representing
proportionate interests in separate portfolios of actively traded equity
securities issued by companies within a specific industry sector.
Diversification of assets in a Trust will not eliminate the risk of loss always
inherent in the ownership of securities.
On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Sponsor deposited with the Trustee the
Securities indicated under "Portfolio" herein, including delivery statements
relating to contracts for the purchase of certain such Securities and an
irrevocable letter of credit issued by a financial institution in the amount
required for such purchases. Thereafter, the Trustee, in exchange for such
Securities (and contracts) so deposited, delivered to the Sponsor documentation
evidencing the ownership of that number of Units indicated in "Summary of
Essential Financial Information". Unless terminated earlier, each Trust will
terminate on the Mandatory Termination Date set forth under "Summary of
Essential Financial Information" and any Securities then held will, within a
reasonable time thereafter, be liquidated or distributed by the Trustee. Any
Securities liquidated at termination will be sold at the then current market
value for such Securities; therefore, the amount distributable in cash to a
Unitholder upon termination may be more or less than the amount such Unitholder
paid for his Units. Upon the Rollover Notification Date, Unitholders may choose
to reinvest their proceeds into a subsequent trust, if available, at a reduced
sales charge, to receive a pro rata distribution of the Securities then included
in a Trust (if they own the requisite minimum number of Units) or to receive a
cash distribution.
Additional Units of a Trust may be issued at any time by depositing in the
Trust (i) additional Securities, (ii) contracts to purchase securities together
with cash or irrevocable letters of credit or (iii) cash (or a letter of credit)
with instructions to purchase additional Securities. As additional Units are
issued by a Trust as a result of the deposit of additional Securities, the
aggregate value of the Securities in the Trust will be increased and the
fractional undivided interest in the Trust represented by each Unit will be
decreased. The Sponsor may continue to make additional deposits of Securities or
cash with instructions to purchase Securities into a Trust following the Initial
Date of Deposit, provided that such additional deposits will be in amounts which
will maintain, as nearly as practicable, the same percentage relationship among
the number of shares of each Equity Security in the Trust's portfolio that
existed immediately prior to any such subsequent deposit. Any deposit of
additional Equity Securities will duplicate, as nearly as is practicable, this
actual proportionate relationship and not the original proportionate
relationship on the Initial Date of Deposit, since the actual proportionate
relationship may be different than the original proportionate relationship. Any
such difference may be due to the sale, redemption or liquidation of any of the
Equity Securities. Existing and new investors may experience a dilution of their
investments and a reduction in their anticipated income as a result of an
additional deposit because of fluctuations in the prices of the Securities
between the time of the deposit and the purchase of the Securities and because
the Trusts will pay the associated brokerage fees.
Each Unit initially offered represents an undivided interest in the related
Trust. To the extent that any Units are redeemed by the Trustee or additional
Units are issued as a result of additional Securities being deposited by the
Sponsor, the fractional undivided interest in a Trust represented by each
unredeemed Unit will increase or decrease accordingly, although the actual
interest in the Trust represented by such fraction will remain unchanged. Units
will remain outstanding until redeemed upon tender to the Trustee by
Unitholders, which may include the Sponsor, or until the termination of the
Trust Agreement.

OBJECTIVES AND SECURITIES SELECTION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Internet Trust. This Trust seeks capital appreciation by investing in a
portfolio of common stocks of companies primarily involved in either the
enabling technology or communications services areas of the Internet. In
selecting these Securities, the Sponsor considered companies engaged in one or
more of the following areas: manufacturers or providers of enabling technology,
access equipment, communications equipment, service providers, access and
value-added services, and commerce and value-added services, software and
network services. As with any investment, there is no guarantee that the Trust
will achieve its objective.
According to recent estimates, only about 8% of U.S. households are on-line.
Estimates show that there are approximately a total of 35 million adults
world-wide now using the Internet. It is estimated that approximately 22% (40
million) of all households will be on the Internet by the year 2000. The number
of Fortune 500 companies with an Internet presence in 1996 was 175 and is
currently estimated to be 400. Morgan Stanley's estimates for the industry
project growth in all areas (in millions):

Through March 1997, there were approximately 1.2 million Web sites with
significant growth anticipated in the near future. Approximately 74% of these
sites were created in the preceding twelve months. The global market for
Internet products and services is estimated to grow to $23 billion. The table

However, many authorities also expect significant consolidation among
Internet-related companies as this market develops. Because of this and because
Internet-related companies are often subject to erratic market movements, as
indicated under "Risk Factors," an investment in the Trust should be considered
to be appropriate for more aggressive investors. For example, investors who
would be comfortable owning the individual securities in the Trust's portfolio
might find the Trust to be an appropriate investment. While these risks cannot
be eliminated, the Trust portfolio is diversified with companies involved in the
creation of a variety of products, equipment and/or services related to the
Internet to help manage certain of these investment risks.
Investors should note that the figures described above are not indications of
past or future performance of any investment, including the Securities and the
Trust. There can be no assurance that the estimates described above will be
achieved or, if achieved, that they will be sustained. In particular, many of
the figures above include longer-term estimates that, if achieved, may not be
achieved during the life of the Trust or any subsequent series of the Trust. In
addition, growth in the use of or market for computer or Internet-related
products and services, or growth in the number of Web sites, is not indicative
of possible growth in the value of any investment, including the Securities and
the Trust.
Telecommunications Trust. This Trust seeks capital appreciation by investing
in a portfolio of common stocks of companies diversified within the
telecommunications industry. Technology advancements have made it possible for
people to communicate in ways that were never possible before. The Trust is
designed to benefit from companies leading in these advancements. Cellular
phones, the Internet, e-mail and personal pagers have rapidly changed the way
people communicate in recent years with the potential for growth in the future.
New digital capabilities (versus analog signals) improve the quality of wireless
phone service significantly and makes it possible to use a single wireless
telephone to transmit voice, data and fax communications. The wireless
communications industry in the U.S. is growing with more than 44 million
subscribers and industry revenues of more than $23 billion in 1996. Wireless
communications account for approximately 5% of all telephone use which leaves
potential for substantial growth. As with any investment, there is no guarantee
that the Trust will achieve its objective.
Health Care & Pharmaceuticals Trust. This Trust seeks capital appreciation by
investing in a portfolio of common stocks of companies diversified within the
health care and pharmaceuticals industry. The health care management environment
and pharmaceuticals industry are changing in dynamic ways and industry and
demographic trends suggest that such activity will continue to grow. The Trust
is designed to benefit from companies that are poised for growth in this
industry. Approximately 70% of the pharmaceutical industry's prescription drug
production is to hospitals, health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and retail
pharmacies which are becoming more important in the current health care
environment. Health care issuers may benefit from an expanding elderly
population with the global over-65 population expected to rise from 380 million
in 1997 to more than 690 million by 2025 according to the World Health
Organization. Pharmaceuticals may be a cost-effective alternative to expensive
hospitalization for chronic conditions that often afflict the elderly.
Furthermore, the Food and Drug Administration has established procedures to
speed review times of new drugs which may benefit pharmaceuticals companies.
Drug approval times have declined from an average of 34 months in 1986 to 17.8
months in 1996. As with any investment, there is no guarantee that the Trust
will achieve its objective.
Utility Trust. This Trust seeks capital appreciation by investing in a
portfolio of common stocks of companies diversified within the utility industry.
The utilities industry is experiencing industry-wide deregulation that many
expect will increase competition and lower prices. The Trust is designed to
benefit from companies that are poised for growth as a result of industry
deregulation. Utility stocks have had relatively steady returns which have
outperformed many other investments such as government bonds, Treasury bills and
the Standard &Poor's 500 Index over the long term. Economies of scale in the
utility industry may mean that electricity can be bundled with other utilities
such as gas, telephone and cable and utilities may be shifting away from being
electricity-focused toward becoming comprehensive utility providers. In
addition, some analysts see a potential for consolidation within the industry.
Companies that have streamlined their internal processes to leverage their
strengths may be positioned to benefit from a restructured industry. Cable
companies are rapidly introducing more efficient technology to the marketplace
and may be potential acquisition targets. Finally, utility stocks have the
potential to perform well and have been regarded as defensive investments in
varying economic climates because utilities are essential to the national
economy and our everyday lives. Regardless of the economic climate, consumers
still need to heat their homes and use telephones and electric appliances. As
with any investment, there is no guarantee that the Trust will achieve its
objective.
General. Investors will be subject to taxation on the dividend income, if
any, received by a Trust and on gains from the sale or liquidation of
Securities. Investors should be aware that there is not any guarantee that the
objective of a Trust will be achieved because it is subject to the continuing
ability of the respective issuers to declare and pay dividends and because the
market value of the Securities can be affected by a variety of factors. Common
stocks may be especially susceptible to general stock market movements and to
volatile increases and decreases of value as market confidence in and
perceptions of the issuers change. Investors should be aware that there can be
no assurance that the value of the underlying Securities will increase or that
the issuers of the Securities, will pay dividends on outstanding common shares.
Any distribution of income will generally depend upon the declaration of
dividends by the issuers of the Securities and the declaration of any dividends
depends upon several factors including the financial condition of the issuers
and general economic conditions. See "Risk Factors".
Investors should be aware that the Trusts are not "managed" funds and as a
result the adverse financial condition of a company will not result in its
elimination from a portfolio except under extraordinary circumstances (see
"Trust Administration--Portfolio Administration"). In addition, Securities will
not be sold by the Trusts to take advantage of market fluctuations or changes in
anticipated rates of appreciation. Investors should note in particular that the
Securities were selected for inclusion in each Trust as of the Initial Date of
Deposit. Subsequent to the Initial Date of Deposit, the Securities may no longer
meet the criteria necessary for inclusion on the Initial Date of Deposit. Should
a Security fail to meet such criteria following the Initial Date of Deposit,
such Security will not as a result thereof be removed from a portfolio. In
addition, since the Sponsor may deposit additional Equity Securities which were
originally selected through this process, the Sponsor may continue to sell Units
even though the Equity Securities would no longer be chosen for deposit into the
Trusts if the selection process were to be made again at a later time. Because
certain of the Equity Securities from time to time may be sold under certain
circumstances described herein, and because the proceeds from such events will
in most cases be distributed to Unitholders and will not be reinvested, no
assurance can be given that a Trust will retain for any length of time its
present size and composition. Although the portfolios are not managed, the
Sponsor may instruct the Trustee to sell Equity Securities under certain limited
circumstances. See "Trust Administration--Portfolio Administration."

General. Each Trust consists of (a) the Equity Securities (including
contracts for the purchase thereof) listed under "Portfolio" as may continue to
be held from time to time in the Trust, (b) any additional Equity Securities
acquired and held by the Trust pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement
and (c) any cash held in the Income and Capital Accounts. Neither the Sponsor
nor the Trustee shall be liable in any way for any failure in any of the Equity
Securities. However, should any contract for the purchase of any of the Equity
Securities initially deposited hereunder fail, the Sponsor will, unless
substantially all of the moneys held in a Trust to cover such purchase are
reinvested in substitute Equity Securities in accordance with the Trust
Agreement, refund the cash and sales charge attributable to such failed contract
to all Unitholders on or before the next scheduled distribution date.

RISK FACTORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General. An investment in Units should be made with an understanding of the
risks which an investment in common stocks entails, including the risk that the
financial condition of the issuers of the Equity Securities or the general
condition of the common stock market may worsen and the value of the Equity
Securities and therefore the value of the Units may decline. Common stocks are
especially susceptible to general stock market movements and to volatile
increases and decreases of value as market confidence in and perceptions of the
issuers change. These perceptions are based on unpredictable factors including
expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies,
inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or
regional political, economic or banking crises. Shareholders of common stocks
have rights to receive payments from the issuers of those common stocks that are
generally subordinate to those of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations
or preferred stocks of, such issuers. Shareholders of common stocks of the type
held by the Trusts have a right to receive dividends only when and if, and in
the amounts, declared by each issuer's board of directors and have a right to
participate in amounts available for distribution by such issuer only after all
other claims on such issuer have been paid or provided for. Common stocks do not
represent an obligation of the issuer and, therefore, do not offer any assurance
of income or provide the same degree of protection of capital as do debt
securities. The issuance of additional debt securities or preferred stock will
create prior claims for payment of principal, interest and dividends which could
adversely affect the ability and inclination of the issuer to declare or pay
dividends on its common stock or the rights of holders of common stock with
respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy. The value of
common stocks is subject to market fluctuations for as long as the common stocks
remain outstanding, and thus the value of the Equity Securities in a portfolio
may be expected to fluctuate over the life of the Trusts to values higher or
lower than those prevailing on the Initial Date of Deposit.
Holders of common stocks incur more risk than holders of preferred stocks
and debt obligations because common stockholders, as owners of the entity, have
generally inferior rights to receive payments from the issuer in comparison with
the rights of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations or preferred stocks
issued by, the issuer. Cumulative preferred stock dividends must be paid before
common stock dividends and any cumulative preferred stock dividend omitted is
added to future dividends payable to the holders of cumulative preferred stock.
Preferred stockholders are also generally entitled to rights on liquidation
which are senior to those of common stockholders.
Whether or not the Equity Securities are listed on a national securities
exchange, the principal trading market for the Equity Securities may be in the
over-the-counter market. As a result, the existence of a liquid trading market
for the Equity Securities may depend on whether dealers will make a market in
the Equity Securities. There can be no assurance that a market will be made for
any of the Equity Securities, that any market for the Equity Securities will be
maintained or of the liquidity of the Equity Securities in any markets made. In
addition, the Trusts may be restricted under the Investment Company Act of 1940
from selling Equity Securities to the Sponsor. The price at which the Equity
Securities may be sold to meet redemptions, and the value of the Trusts, will be
adversely affected if trading markets for the Equity Securities are limited or
absent.
The Trust Agreement authorizes the Sponsor to increase the size of each
Trust and the number of Units thereof by the deposit of additional Securities,
or cash (or a letter of credit) with instructions to purchase additional
Securities, in the Trust and issuance of a corresponding number of additional
Units. If the Sponsor deposits cash, existing and new investors may experience a
dilution of their investments and reduction in their anticipated income because
of fluctuations in the prices of the Securities between the time of the cash
deposit and the purchase of the Securities and because the Trusts will pay the
associated brokerage fees.
As described under "Trust Operating Expenses," all of the expenses of the
Trusts will be paid from the sale of Securities. It is expected that such sales
will be made at the end of the initial offering period and each month thereafter
through termination of the Trusts. Such sales will result in capital gains and
losses and may be made at times and prices which adversely affect the Trusts.
For a discussion of the tax consequences of such sales, see "Federal Taxation."
Unitholders will be unable to dispose of any of the Equity Securities, as
such, and will not be able to vote the Equity Securities. As the holder of the
Equity Securities, the Trustee will have the right to vote all of the voting
stocks in the Trusts and will vote such stocks in accordance with the
instructions of the Sponsor. In the absence of any such instructions by the
Sponsor, the Trustee will vote such stocks so as to insure that the stocks are
voted as closely as possible in the same manner and the same general proportion
as are shares held by owners other than the Trusts.
Like other investment companies, financial and business organizations and
individuals around the world, the Trusts could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by the Sponsor, Evaluator, Supervisor or Trustee or other
service providers to the Trusts do not properly process and calculate
date-related information and data from and after January 1, 2000. This is
commonly known as the "Year 2000 Problem." The Sponsor, Evaluator, Supervisor
and Trustee are taking steps that they believe are reasonably designed to
address the Year 2000 Problem with respect to computer systems that they use and
to obtain reasonable assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the
Trusts' other service providers. At this time, however, there can be no
assurance that these steps will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact to the
Trusts. The Year 2000 Problem is expected to impact corporations, which may
include issuers of the Securities, to varying degrees based upon various
factors, including, but not limited to, their industry sector and degree of
technological sophistication. The Sponsor is unable to predict what impact, if
any, the Year 2000 Problem will have on issuers of the Securities.
Each Trust portfolio is concentrated in a single industry and may present
more risk than a portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. Each
Trust, and therefore Unitholders, may be particularly susceptible to a negative
impact resulting from adverse market conditions or other factors affecting
issuers within the related industry because any negative impact on that industry
will not be diversified among issuers within other unrelated industries.
Internet-Related Technology Companies. The Internet Trust is concentrated in
issuers within the technology industry. Accordingly, an investment in Units of
the Internet Trust should be made with an understanding of the characteristics
of the technology industry and the risk which such an investment may entail.
Technology companies generally include companies involved in the
development, design, manufacture and sale of computers, computer related
equipment, computer networks, communications systems, telecommunications
products, electronic products, and other related products, systems and services.
The market for technology products and services, especially those specifically
related to the Internet, is characterized by rapidly changing technology, rapid
product obsolenscense, cyclical market patters, evolving industry standards and
frequent new product introductions. The success of the issuers of the Securities
depends in substantial part of the timely and successful introduction of new
products. An unexpected change in one or more of the technologies affecting an
issuer's products or in the market for products based on a particular technology
could have a material adverse affect on an issuer's operating results.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the issuers of the Securities will
be able to respond timely to compete in the rapidly development marketplace or
that the Internet will continue to be accepted as a means of communication and
commerce.
The market for Internet-related products and services has only recently
begun to develop, is rapidly evolving and is characterized by an increasing
number of market entrants who have introduced or developed products and services
for communication and commerce over the Internet. The industry is young and has
few proven products and services. Moreover, critical issues concerning the
commercial use of the Internet (including security, cost, ease of use and
access, and quality of service) remain unresolved and may impact the growth of
Internet use. Additionally, many Internet-related companies have only recently
commenced operations or offered substantial number of the issues included in the
Internet Trust occurred only within the last two years. Such companies are in
the early stage of development and have a limited operating history on which to
analyze future operating results. Such securities are generally regarded as
speculative investments. It is important to note that following its initial
public offering a security is likely to experience substantial stock price
volatility and speculative trading. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
upon redemption of Units or termination of the Internet Trust a Unitholder will
receive an amount greater than or equal to the Unitholder's initial investment.
There can be no assurance that commerce and communication over the Internet
will become widespread or that any related products or services will become
widely adopted for these purposes. If the market fails to develop, develops more
slowly than expected, becomes saturated with competitors or certain products or
services do not achieve market acceptance, the financial condition of the
issuers of the Securities could be materially adversely affected. In addition,
due to the increasing use of the Internet, it is possible that various laws and
regulations may be adopted addressing issues such as privacy, pricing,
characteristics, and quality of Internet products and services. For example,
recent proposals would prohibit distribution of obscene, lascivious or indecent
communications on the Internet. The adoption of any such laws could have a
material adverse impact on the Securities in the Internet Trust.
Based on trading history, factors such as announcements of new products or
development of new technologies and general conditions of the industry have
caused and are likely to cause the market price of technology common stocks to
fluctuate substantially. In addition, technology company stocks have experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the
operating performance of such companies. This market volatility may adversely
affect the market price of the Securities and therefore the ability of a
Unitholder to redeem Units, or roll over Units into a new trust, at a price
equal to or greater than the original price paid for such Units.
Some key components of certain products of technology issuers are currently
available only from single sources. There can be no assurance that in the future
suppliers will be able to meet the demand for components in a timely and cost
effective manner. Accordingly, an issuer's operating results and customer
relationships could be adversely affected by either an increase in price for, or
an interruption or reduction in supply of, any key components. Additionally,
many technology issuers are characterized by a highly concentrated customer base
consisting of a limited number of large customers who may require product
vendors to comply with rigorous and constantly developing industry standards.
Any failure to comply with such standards may result in a significant loss or
reduction of sales. Because many products and technologies of Internet-related
companies are incorporated into other related products, such companies are often
highly dependent on the performance of other computer, electronics and
communications companies (many of which are included in the Internet Trust's
portfolio). There can be no assurance that these customers will place additional
orders, or that an issuer of Securities will obtain orders of similar magnitude
as past orders from other customers. Similarly, the success of many
Internet-related companies is tied to a relatively small concentration of
products or technologies with intense competition between companies.
Accordingly, a decline in demand of such products, technologies or from such
customers could have a material adverse impact on issuers of the Securities.
Certain issuers of the Securities derived a significant amount of business
in foreign markets. Many countries, especially emerging market countries, have
regulatory requirements that differ from U.S. requirements are characterized by
less developed and more volatile economies. International sales and operations
are subject to certain risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory
environments, exchange rates, tariffs and other barriers, political and economic
instability and potentially adverse tax consequences. All of these factors could
have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of certain issuers.
Many technology companies rely on a combination of patents, copyrights,
trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary
rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the
steps taken by the issuers of the Securities to protect their proprietary rights
will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or that
competitors will nto independently develop technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to such issuers' technology.

Telecommunications Issuers. Because the Telecommunications and Utility Trusts
may be concentrated in the telecommunications industry, the value of the Units
of these Trusts may be susceptible to factors affecting the telecommunications
industry. The telecommunications industry is subject to governmental regulation
and the products and services of telecommunications companies may be subject to
rapid obsolescence. These factors could affect the value of Units. Telephone
companies in the United States, for example, are subject to both state and
federal regulations affecting permitted rates of returns and the kinds of
services that may be offered. Certain types of companies represented in a Trust
portfolio are engaged in fierce competition for a share of the market of their
products. As a result, competitive pressures are intense and the stocks are
subject to rapid price volatility. While a Trust portfolio concentrates on the
securities of established suppliers of traditional telecommunication products
and services, a Trust may also invest in smaller telecommunications companies
which may benefit from the development of new products and services. These
smaller companies may present greater opportunities for capital appreciation,
and may also involve greater risk than large, established issuers. Such smaller
companies may have limited product lines, market or financial resources, and
their securities may trade less frequently and in limited volume than the
securities of larger, more established companies. As a result, the prices of the
securities of such smaller companies may fluctuate to a greater degree than the
prices of securities of other issuers.

Health Care Issuers. An investment in Units of the Health Care &
Pharmaceuticals Trust should be made with an understanding of the problems and
risks inherent in the healthcare industry in general. Healthcare companies
involved in advanced medical devices and instruments, drugs and biotech, managed
care, hospital management/health services and medical supplies have potential
risks unique to their sector of the healthcare field. These companies are
subject to governmental regulation of their products and services, a factor
which could have a significant and possibly unfavorable effect on the price and
availability of such products or services. Furthermore, such companies face the
risk of increasing competition from new products or services, generic drug
sales, termination of patent protection for drug or medical supply products and
the risk that technological advances will render their products obsolete. The
research and development costs of bringing a drug to market are substantial, and
include lengthy governmental review processes with no guarantee that the product
will ever come to market. Many of these companies may have losses and not offer
certain products for several years. Such companies may also have persistent
losses during a new product's transition from development to production, and
revenue patterns may be erratic. In addition, healthcare facility operators may
be affected by events and conditions including, among other things, demand for
services, the ability of the facility to provide the services required,
physicians' confidence in the facility, management capabilities, competition
with other hospitals, efforts by insurers and governmental agencies to limit
rates, legislation establishing state rate-setting agencies, expenses,
government regulation, the cost and possible unavailability of malpractice
insurance and the termination or restriction of governmental financial
assistance, including that associated with Medicare, Medicaid and other similar
third-party payor programs.

Legislative proposals concerning healthcare are proposed in Congress from
time to time. These proposals span a wide range of topics, including cost and
price controls (which might include a freeze on the prices of prescription
drugs), national health insurance, incentives for competition in the provision
of healthcare services, tax incentives and penalties related to healthcare
insurance premiums and promotion of pre-paid healthcare plans. The Sponsor is
unable to predict the effect of any of these proposals, if enacted, on the
issuers of Securities in the Trust.

Utility Issuers. An investment in Units of the Utility Trust should be made
with an understanding of the characteristics of the public utility industry and
the risks which such an investment may entail. General problems of the public
utility industry include the difficulty in obtaining an adequate return on
invested capital despite frequent increases in rates which have been granted by
the public service commissions having jurisdiction, the difficulty in financing
large construction programs during an inflationary period, the restrictions on
operations and increased cost and delays attributable to environmental and other
regulatory considerations, the difficulty of the capital markets absorbing
utility debt and equity securities, the difficulty in obtaining fuel for
electric generation at reasonable prices, and the effects of energy
conservation. There is no assurance that public service commissions will grant
rate increases in the future or that any such increases will be adequate to
cover operating and other expenses and debt service requirements. All of the
public utilities which are issuers of the Securities have been experiencing many
of these problems in varying degrees. Furthermore, utility stocks are
particularly susceptible to interest rate risk, generally exhibiting an inverse
relationship to interest rates. As a result, electric utility stock prices may
be adversely affected as interest rates rise. The Sponsor makes no prediction as
to whether interest rates will rise or fall or the effect, if any, interest
rates may have on the Securities. In addition, federal, state and municipal
governmental authorities may from time to time review existing, and impose
additional, regulations governing the licensing, construction and operation of
nuclear power plants, which may adversely affect the ability of the issuers of
certain of the Securities to make dividend payments on the Securities.
Utilities are generally subject to extensive regulation by state utility
commissions which, for example, establish the rates which may be charged and the
appropriate rate of return on an approved asset base, which must be approved by
the state commissions. Certain utilities have had difficulty from time to time
in persuading regulators, who are subject to political pressures, to grant rate
increases necessary to maintain an adequate return on investment and voters in
many states have the ability to impose limits on rate adjustments (for example,
by initiative or referendum). Any unexpected limitations could negatively affect
the profitability of utilities whose budgets are planned far in advance. In
addition, gas pipeline and distribution companies have had difficulties in
adjusting to short and surplus energy supplies, enforcing or being required to
comply with long-term contracts and avoiding litigation from their customers, on
the one hand, or suppliers, on the other.
Certain of the issuers of the Securities may own or operate nuclear
generating facilities. Governmental authorities may from time to time review
existing, and impose additional, requirements governing the licensing,
construction and operation of nuclear power plants. Nuclear generating projects
in the electric utility industry have experienced substantial cost increases,
construction delays and licensing difficulties. These have been caused by
various factors, including inflation, high financing costs, required design
changes and rework, allegedly faulty construction, objections by groups and
governmental officials, limits on the ability to finance, reduced forecasts of
energy requirements and economic conditions. This experience indicates that the
risk of significant cost increases, delays and licensing difficulties remain
present until completion and achievement of commercial operation of any nuclear
project. Also, nuclear generating units in service have experienced unplanned
outages or extensions of scheduled outages due to equipment problems or new
regulatory requirements sometimes followed by a significant delay in obtaining
regulatory approval to return to service. A major accident at a nuclear plant
anywhere, such as the accident at a plant in Chernobyl, could cause the
imposition of limits or prohibitions on the operation, construction or licensing
of nuclear units.
In view of the uncertainties discussed above, there can be no assurance that
any company's share of the full cost of nuclear units under construction
ultimately will be recovered in rates or the extent to which a company could
earn an adequate return on its investment in such units. The likelihood of a
significantly adverse event occurring in any of the areas of concern described
above varies, as does the potential severity of any adverse impact. It should be
recognized, however, that one or more of such adverse events could occur and
individually or collectively could have a material adverse impact on a company's
financial condition, the results of its operations, its ability to make interest
and principal payments on its outstanding debt or to pay dividends.
Other general problems of the gas, water, telephone and electric utility
industries (including state and local joint action power agencies) include
difficulty in obtaining timely and adequate rate increases, difficulty in
financing large construction programs to provide new or replacement facilities
during an inflationary period, rising costs of rail transportation to transport
fossil fuels, the uncertainty of transmission service costs for both interstate
and intrastate transactions, changes in tax laws which adversely affect a
utility's ability to operate profitably, increased competition in service costs,
recent reductions in estimates of future demand for electricity and gas in
certain areas of the country, restrictions on operations and increased cost and
delays attributable to environmental considerations, uncertain availability and
increased cost of capital, unavailability of fuel for electric generation at
reasonable prices, including the steady rise in fuel costs and the costs
associated with conversion to alternate fuel sources such as coal, availability
and cost of natural gas for resale, technical and cost factors and other
problems associated with construction, licensing, regulation and operation of
nuclear facilities for electric generation, including, among other
considerations, the problems associated with the use of radioactive materials
and the disposal of radioactive wastes, and the effects of energy conservation.
Each of the problems referred to could adversely affect the ability of the
issuers of any Securities to make dividend payments.
Foreign Issuers. Since certain of the Equity Securities consist of securities
of foreign issuers, and investment in Units involves some investment risks that
are different in some respects from an investment in a trust that invests
entirely in securities of domestic issuers. Those investment risks include
future political and governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the
payment or receipt of payment of dividends on the relevant Equity Securities. In
addition, for the foreign issuers that are not subject to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there may be less publicly
available information than is available from a domestic issuer. Also, foreign
issuers are not necessarily subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those
applicable to domestic issuers. However, due to the nature of the issuers of
Equity Securities included in the Trusts, the Sponsor believes that adequate
information will be available to allow the Supervisor to provide portfolio
surveillance.
The securities of the foreign issuers in the Trusts are in ADR form. ADRs
evidence American Depositary Receipts which represent common stock deposited
with a custodian in a depositary. American Depositary Shares, and receipts
therefor (ADRs), are issued by an American bank or trust company to evidence
ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. These
instruments may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the
securities into which they may be converted. For purposes of the discussion
herein, the term ADR generally includes American Depositary Shares, ADRs may be
sponsored or unsponsored. In an unsponsored facility, the depositary initiates
and arranges the facility at the request of market makers and acts as agent for
the ADR holder, while the company itself is not involved in the transaction. In
a sponsored facility, the issuing company initiates the facility and agrees to
pay certain administrative and shareholder-related expenses. Sponsored
facilities use a single depositary and entail a contractual relationship between
the issuer, the shareholder and the depositary: unsponsored facilities involve
several depositaries with no contractual relationship to the company. The
depositary bank that issues an ADR generally charges a fee, based on the price
of the ADR, upon issuance and cancellation of the ADR. This fee would be in
addition to the brokerage commissions paid upon the acquisition or surrender of
the security. In addition, the depositary bank incurs expenses in connection
with the conversion of dividends or other cash distributions paid in local
currency into U.S. dollars and such expenses are deducted from the amount of the
dividend or distribution paid to holders, resulting in a lower payout per
underlying shares represented by the ADR than would be the case if the
underlying share were held directly. Investors should be aware that the Trustee
of the Trust may act as the depositary bank for certain ADRs which may include
certain of the Securities. Certain tax considerations, including tax rate
differentials and withholding requirements, arising from applications of the tax
laws of one nation to nationals of another and from certain practices in the ADR
market may also exist with respect to certain ADRs. In varying degrees, any or
all of these factors may affect the value of the ADR compared with the value of
the underlying shares in the local market. In addition, the rights of holders of
ADRs may be different than those of holders of the underlying shares, and the
market for ADRs may be less liquid than that for the underlying shares. ADRs are
registered securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and may be subject
to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
For those Equity Securities that are ADRs, currency fluctuations will affect
the U.S. dollar equivalent of the local currency price of the underlying
domestic share and, as a result, are likely to affect the value of the ADRs and
consequently the value of the Equity Securities. The foreign issuers of
securities that are ADRs may pay dividends in foreign currencies which must be
converted into dollars. Most foreign currencies have fluctuated widely in value
against the United States dollar for many reasons, including supply and demand
of the respective currency, the soundness of the world economy and the strength
of the respective economy as compared to the economies of the United States and
other countries. Therefore, for any securities of issuers (whether or not they
are in ADR form) whose earnings are stated in foreign currencies, or which pay
dividends in foreign currencies or which are traded in foreign currencies, there
is a risk that their United States dollar value will vary with fluctuations in
the United States dollar foreign exchange rates for the relevant currencies.
On the basis of the best information available to the Sponsor at the
present time, none of the Equity Securities are subject to exchange control
restriction under existing law which would materially interfere with payment to
a Trust of dividends due on, or proceeds from the sale of, the Equity
Securities. However, there can be no assurance that exchange control regulations
might not be adopted in the future which might adversely affect payment to a
Trust. In addition, the adoption of exchange control regulations and other legal
restrictions could have an adverse impact on the marketability of international
securities in a Trust and on the ability of a Trust to satisfy its obligation to
redeem Units tendered to the Trustee for redemption.

FEDERAL TAXATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General. The following is a general discussion of certain of the Federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Units.
The summary is limited to investors who hold the Units as capital assets
(generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Unitholders should consult their
tax advisers in determining the federal, state, local and any other tax
consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Units in the Trust.
For purposes of the following discussion and opinion, it is assumed that each
Security is equity for Federal income tax purposes.
In the opinion of Chapman and Cutler, special counsel for the Sponsor, under
existing law:
1. The Trust is not an association taxable as a corporation for Federal
income tax purposes; each Unitholder will be treated as the owner of a pro rata
portion of each of the assets of the Trust under the Code; and the income of the
Trust will be treated as income of the Unitholders thereof under the Code. Each
Unitholder will be considered to have received his pro rata share of income
derived from each Trust asset when such income is considered to be received by
the Trust.
2. A Unitholder will be considered to have received all of the dividends paid
on his pro rata portion of each Security when such dividends are considered to
be received by the Trust regardless of whether such dividends are used to pay a
portion of the deferred sales charge. Unitholders will be taxed in this manner
regardless of whether distributions from the Trust are actually received by the
Unitholder or are automatically reinvested (see "Rights of
Unitholders--Reinvestment Option").

3. Each Unitholder will have a taxable event when the Trust disposes of a
Security (whether by sale, exchange, liquidation, redemption, or otherwise) or
upon the sale or redemption of Units by such Unitholder (except to the extent an
in kind distribution of stock is received by such Unitholder as described
below). The price a Unitholder pays for his Units, generally including sales
charges, is allocated among his pro rata portion of each Security held by the
Trust (in proportion to the fair market values thereof on the valuation date
nearest to the date the Unitholder purchases his Units) in order to determine
his tax basis for his pro rata portion of each Security held by the Trust.
Unitholders should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the calculation
of basis. For Federal income tax purposes, a Unitholder's pro rata portion of
dividends, as defined by Section 316 of the Code, paid by a corporation with
respect to a Security held by the Trust is taxable as ordinary income to the
extent of such corporation's current and accumulated "earnings and profits". A
Unitholder's pro rata portion of dividends paid on such Security which exceeds
such current and accumulated earnings and profits will first reduce a
Unitholder's tax basis in such Security, and to the extent that such dividends
exceed a Unitholder's tax basis in such Security shall generally be treated as
capital gain. In general, the holding period for such capital gain will be
determined by the period of time a Unitholder has held his Units.

4. A Unitholder's portion of gain, if any, upon the sale or redemption of
Units or the disposition of Securities held by the Trust will generally be
considered a capital gain (except in the case of a dealer or a financial
institution). A Unitholder's portion of loss, if any, upon the sale or
redemption of Units or the disposition of Securities held by the Trust will
generally be considered a capital loss (except in the case of a dealer or a
financial institution). Unitholders should consult their tax advisers regarding
the recognition of gains and losses for Federal income tax purposes. In
particular, a Rollover Unitholder should be aware that a Rollover Unitholder's
loss, if any, incurred in connection with the exchange of Units for units in the
next new trust (the "New Trust") will generally be disallowed with respect to
the disposition of any Securities pursuant to such exchange to the extent that
such Unitholder is considered the owner of substantially identical securities
under the wash sale provisions of the Code taking into account such Unitholder's
deemed ownership of the securities underlying the Units in the New Trust in the
manner described above, if such substantially identical securities were acquired
within a period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after such
disposition. However, any gains incurred in connection with such an exchange by
a Rollover Unitholder would be recognized. Unitholders should consult their tax
advisers regarding the recognition of gains and losses for Federal income tax
purposes.
Deferred Sales Charge. Generally, the tax basis of a Unitholder includes
sales charges, and such charges are not deductible. A portion of the sales
charge for the Trust is deferred. The income (or proceeds from redemption) a
Unitholder must take into account for Federal income tax purposes is not reduced
by amounts deducted to pay the deferred sales charge. Unitholders should consult
their own tax advisers as to the income tax consequences of the deferred sales
charge.
Dividends Received Deduction. A corporation that owns Units will generally be
entitled to a 70% dividends received deduction with respect to such Unitholder's
pro rata portion of dividends received by the Trust (to the extent such
dividends are taxable as ordinary income, as discussed above, and are
attributable to domestic corporations) in the same manner as if such corporation
directly owned the Securities paying such dividends (other than corporate
Unitholders, such as "S" corporations, which are not eligible for the deduction
because of their special characteristics and other than for purposes of special
taxes such as the accumulated earnings tax and the personal holding corporation
tax). However, a corporation owning Units should be aware that Sections 246 and
246A of the Code impose additional limitations on the eligibility of dividends
for the 70% dividends received deduction. These limitations include a
requirement that stock (and therefore Units) must generally be held at least 46
days (as determined under Section 246(c) of the Code). Final regulations have
been issued which address special rules that must be considered in determining
whether the 46 day holding period requirement is met. Moreover, the allowable
percentage of the deduction will be reduced from 70% if a corporate Unitholder
owns certain stock (or Units) the financing of which is directly attributable to
indebtedness incurred by such corporation. To the extent dividends received by
the Trust are attributable to foreign corporations, a corporation that owns
Units will not be entitled to the dividends received deduction with respect to
its pro rata portion of such dividends, since the dividends received deduction
is generally available only with respect to dividends paid by domestic
corporations.
It should be noted that various legislative proposals that would affect the
dividends received deduction have been introduced. Unitholders should consult
with their tax advisers with respect to the limitations on and possible
modifications to the dividends received deduction.
Limitations on Deductibility of Trust Expenses by Unitholders. Each
Unitholder's pro rata share of each expense paid by the Trust is deductible by
the Unitholder to the same extent as though the expense had been paid directly
by him. It should be noted that as a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
certain miscellaneous itemized deductions, such as investment expenses, tax
return preparation fees and employee business expenses will be deductible by an
individual only to the extent they exceed 2% of such individual's adjusted gross
income. Unitholders may be required to treat some or all of the expenses of the
Trust as miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to this limitation.
Unitholders should consult with their tax advisers regarding the deductibility
of Trust expenses.
Recognition of Taxable Gain or Loss Upon Disposition of Securities by the
Trust or Disposition of Units. As discussed above, a Unitholder may recognize
taxable gain (or loss) when a Security is disposed of by the Trust or if the
Unitholder disposes of a Unit (although losses incurred by Rollover Unitholders
may be subject to disallowance, as discussed above). For taxpayers other than
corporations, net capital gain (which is defined as net long-term capital gain
over net short-term capital loss for the taxable year) is subject to a maximum
marginal stated tax rate of either 28% or 20%, depending upon the holding
periods of the capital assets. Capital gain or loss is long-term if the holding
period for the asset is more than one year, and is short-term if the holding
period for the asset is one year or less. Note that the date on which a Unit is
acquired (i.e., the "trade date") is excluded for purposes of determining the
holding period of the Unit. Generally, capital gains realized from assets held
for more than one year but not more than 18 months are taxed at a maximum
marginal stated tax rate of 28% and capital gains realized from assets (with
certain exclusions) held for more than 18 months are taxed at a maximum marginal
stated tax rate of 20% (10% in the case of certain taxpayers in the lowest tax
bracket). Further, capital gains realized from assets held for one year or less
are taxed at the same rates as ordinary income. Legislation is currently pending
that provides the appropriate methodology that should be applied in netting the
realized capital gains and losses. Such legislation is proposed to be effective
retroactively for tax years ending after May 6, 1997. It should be noted that
legislative proposals are introduced from time to time that affect tax rates and
could affect relative differences at which ordinary income and capital gains are
taxed.
In addition, please note that capital gains may be recharacterized as
ordinary income in the case of certain financial transactions that are
considered "conversion transactions" effective for transactions entered into
after April 30, 1993. Unitholders and prospective investors should consult with
their tax advisers regarding the potential effect of this provision on their
investment in Units.
If a Unitholder disposes of a Unit he or she is deemed thereby to have
disposed of his entire pro rata interest in all the assets of the Trust
including his pro rata portion of all Securities represented by a Unit. The
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (the "1997 Tax Act") includes provisions that treat
certain transactions designed to reduce or eliminate risk of loss and
opportunities for gain (e.g., short sales, offsetting notional principal
contracts, futures or forward contracts, or similar transactions) as
constructive sales for purposes of recognition of gain (but not loss) and for
purposes of determining the holding period. Unitholders should consult their own
tax advisors with regard to any such constructive sale rules.
Special Tax Consequences of In Kind Distributions Upon Redemption of Units or
Termination of the Trust. As discussed in "Rights of Unitholders--Redemption of
Units," under certain circumstances a Unitholder tendering Units for redemption
may request an In Kind Distribution. A Unitholder may also under certain
circumstances request an In Kind Distribution upon the termination of the Trust.
See "Rights of Unitholders--Redemption of Units". The Unitholder requesting an
In Kind Distribution will be liable for expenses related thereto (the
"Distribution Expenses") and the amount of such In Kind Distribution will be
reduced by the amount of the Distribution Expenses. See "Rights of
Unitholders--Redemption of Units". As previously discussed, prior to the
redemption of Units or the termination of the Trust, a Unitholder is considered
as owning a pro rata portion of each of the Trust's assets for federal income
tax purposes. The receipt of an In Kind Distribution will result in a Unitholder
receiving an undivided interest in whole shares of stock plus, possibly, cash.
The potential tax consequences that may occur under an In Kind Distribution
with respect to each Security owned by the Trust will depend on whether or not a
Unitholder receives cash in addition to Securities. A "Security" for this
purpose is a particular class of stock issued by a particular corporation. A
Unitholder will not recognize gain or loss if a Unitholder only receives
Securities in exchange for his or her pro rata portion of the Securities held by
the Trust. However, if a Unitholder also receives cash in exchange for a
fractional share of a Security held by the Trust, such Unitholder will generally
recognize gain or loss based upon the difference between the amount of cash
received by the Unitholder and his tax basis in such fractional share of a
Security held by the Trust.
Because the Trust will own many Securities, a Unitholder who requests an In
Kind Distribution will have to analyze the tax consequences with respect to each
Security owned by the Trust. The amount of taxable gain (or loss) recognized
upon such exchange will generally equal the sum of the gain (or loss) recognized
under the rules described above by such Unitholder with respect to each Security
owned by the Trust. Unitholders who request an In Kind Distribution are advised
to consult their tax advisers in this regard.
As discussed in "Rights of Unitholders--Special Redemption and Rollover in
New Trust," a Unitholder may elect to become a Rollover Unitholder. To the
extent a Rollover Unitholder exchanges his Units for Units of the New Trust in a
taxable transaction, such Unitholder will recognize gains, if any, but generally
will not be entitled to a deduction for any losses recognized upon the
disposition of any Securities pursuant to such exchange to the extent that such
Unitholder is considered the owner of substantially identical securities under
the wash sale provisions of the Code taking into account such Unitholder's
deemed ownership of the securities underlying the Units in the New Trust in the
manner described above, if such substantially identical securities were acquired
within a period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after such
disposition under the wash sale provisions contained in Section 1091 of the
Code. In the event a loss is disallowed under the wash sale provisions, special
rules contained in Section 1091(d) of the Code apply to determine the
Unitholder's tax basis in the securities acquired. Rollover Unitholders are
advised to consult their tax advisers.
Computation of the Unitholder's Tax Basis. Initially, a Unitholder's tax
basis in his Units will generally equal the price paid by such Unitholder for
his Units. The cost of the Units is allocated among the Securities held in the
Trust in accordance with the proportion of the fair market values of such
Securities on the valuation date nearest the date the Units are purchased in
order to determine such Unitholder's tax basis for his pro rata portion of each
Security.
A Unitholder's tax basis in his Units and his pro rata portion of a Security
held by the Trust will be reduced to the extent dividends paid with respect to
such Security are received by the Trust which are not taxable as ordinary income
as described above.
General. Each Unitholder will be requested to provide the Unitholder's
taxpayer identification number to the Trustee and to certify that the Unitholder
has not been notified that payments to the Unitholder are subject to back-up
withholding. If the proper taxpayer identification number and appropriate
certification are not provided when requested, distributions by the Trust to
such Unitholder (including amounts received upon the redemption of Units) will
be subject to back-up withholding. Distributions by the Trust (other than those
that are not treated as United States source income, if any) will generally be
subject to United States income taxation and withholding in the case of Units
held by non-resident alien individuals, foreign corporations or other non-United
States persons. Such persons should consult their tax advisers.
In general, income that is not effectively connected to the conduct of a
trade or business within the United States that is earned by non-U.S.
Unitholders and derived from dividends of foreign corporations will not be
subject to U.S. withholding tax provided that less than 25 percent of the gross
income of the foreign corporation for a three-year period ending with the close
of its taxable year preceding payment was not effectively connected to the
conduct of a trade or business within the United States. In addition, such
earnings may be exempt from U.S. withholding pursuant to a specific treaty
between the United States and a foreign country. Non-U.S. Unitholders should
consult their own tax advisers regarding the imposition of U.S. withholding on
distributions from the Trust.
It should be noted that payments to the Trust of dividends on Equity
Securities that are attributable to foreign corporations may be subject to
foreign withholding taxes and Unitholders should consult their own tax advisers
regarding the potential tax consequences relating to the payment of any such
withholding taxes by the Trust. Any dividends withheld as a result thereof will
nevertheless be treated as income to the Unitholders. Because, under the grantor
trust rules, an investor is deemed to have paid directly his share of foreign
taxes that have been paid or accrued, if any, an investor may be entitled to a
foreign tax credit or deduction for United States purposes with respect to such
taxes. The 1997 Tax Act imposes a required holding period for such credits.
Investors should consult their tax advisers with respect to foreign withholding
taxes and foreign tax credits.
At the termination of the Trust, the Trustee will furnish to each Unitholder
a statement containing information relating to the dividends received by the
Trust on the Securities, the gross proceeds received by the Trust from the
disposition of any Security (resulting from redemption or the sale of any
Security), and the fees and expenses paid by the Trust. The Trustee will also
furnish annual information returns to Unitholders and to the Internal Revenue
Service.
Unitholders desiring to purchase Units for tax-deferred plans and IRAs should
consult their broker-dealers for details on establishing such accounts. Units
may also be purchased by persons who already have self-directed plans
established.
In the opinion of special counsel to the Trust for New York tax matters, the
Trust is not an association taxable as a corporation and the income of the Trust
will be treated as the income of the Unitholders under the existing income tax
laws of the State and City of New York.
The foregoing discussion relates only to the tax treatment of U.S.
Unitholders ("U.S. Unitholders") with regard to federal and certain aspects of
New York State and City income taxes. Unitholders may be subject to taxation in
New York or in other jurisdictions and should consult their own tax advisers in
this regard. As used herein, the term "U.S. Unitholder" means an owner of a Unit
of the Trust that (a) is (i) for United States Federal income tax purposes a
citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership or
other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or
of any political subdivision thereof, or (iii) an estate or trust the income of
which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its
source or (b) does not qualify as a U.S. Unitholder in paragraph (a) but whose
income from a Unit is effectively connected with such Unitholder's conduct of a
United States trade or business. The term also includes certain former citizens
of the United States whose income and gain on the Units will be taxable.
Unitholders should consult their tax advisers regarding potential foreign, state
or local taxation with respect to the Units.

TRUST OPERATING EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compensation of Sponsor and Evaluator. The Sponsor will not receive any fees
in connection with its activities relating to the Trusts. However, Van Kampen
American Capital Investment Advisory Corp., which is an affiliate of the
Sponsor, will receive an annual supervisory fee which is not to exceed the
amount set forth under "Summary of Essential Financial Information", for
providing portfolio supervisory services for the Trusts. Such fee (which is
based on the number of Units outstanding on January 1 of each year except during
the initial offering period in which event the calculation is based on the
number of Units outstanding at the end of the month of such calculation) may
exceed the actual costs of providing such supervisory services for these Trusts,
but at no time will the total amount received for portfolio supervisory services
rendered to all unit investment trusts sponsored by the Sponsor for which the
Supervisor provides portfolio supervisory services in any calendar year exceed
the aggregate cost to the Supervisor of supplying such services in such year. In
addition, American Portfolio Evaluation Services, which is a division of Van
Kampen American Capital Investment Advisory Corp., shall receive for regularly
providing evaluation services to the Trust the annual per Unit evaluation fee
set forth under "Summary of Essential Financial Information" (which is based on
the number of Units outstanding on January 1 of each year for which such
compensation relates except during the initial offering period in which event
the calculation is based on the number of Units outstanding at the end of the
month of such calculation) for regularly evaluating the Trust portfolios. The
fees set forth herein are payable as described under "General" below. Both of
the foregoing fees may be increased without approval of the Unitholders by
amounts not exceeding proportionate increases under the category "All Services
Less Rent of Shelter" in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States
Department of Labor or, if such category is no longer published, in a comparable
category. The Sponsor will receive sales commissions and may realize other
profits (or losses) in connection with the sale of Units and the deposit of the
Securities as described under "Public Offering--Sponsor and Other Compensation".
Trustee's Fee. For its services the Trustee will receive the annual per Unit
fee from the Trusts set forth under "Summary of Essential Financial Information"
(which is based on the number of Units outstanding at the end of the month of
such calculation until the end of the initial offering period at which time such
calculation is based on the number of Units outstanding on such date). The fees
set forth herein are payable as described under "General" below. The Trustee
benefits to the extent there are funds for future distributions, payment of
expenses and redemptions in the Capital and Income Accounts since these Accounts
are non-interest bearing to Unitholders and the amounts earned by the Trustee
are retained by the Trustee. Part of the Trustee's compensation for its services
to the Trusts is expected to result from the use of these funds. Such fees may
be increased without approval of the Unitholders by amounts not exceeding
proportionate increases under the category "All Services Less Rent of Shelter"
in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor
or, if such category is no longer published, in a comparable category. For a
discussion of the services rendered by the Trustee pursuant to its obligations
under the Trust Agreement, see "Rights of Unitholders--Reports Provided" and
"Trust Administration".
Miscellaneous Expenses. Expenses incurred in establishing each Trust,
including the cost of the initial preparation of documents relating to the Trust
(including the Prospectus, Trust Agreement and closing documents), federal and
state registration fees, the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee, legal and
accounting expenses, payment of closing fees and any other out-of-pocket
expenses, will be paid by the Trust and amortized over two years. The following
additional charges are or may be incurred by a Trust: (a) normal expenses
(including the cost of mailing reports to Unitholders) incurred in connection
with the operation of the Trust, (b) fees of the Trustee for extraordinary
services, (c) expenses of the Trustee (including legal and auditing expenses)
and of counsel designated by the Sponsor, (d) various governmental charges, (e)
expenses and costs of any action taken by the Trustee to protect the Trust and
the rights and interests of Unitholders, (f) indemnification of the Trustee for
any loss, liability or expenses incurred in the administration of the Trust
without negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct on its part, (g) accrual of
costs associated with liquidating securities and (h) expenditures incurred in
contacting Unitholders upon termination of the Trust. The fees set forth herein
are payable as described under "General" below.
General. During the initial offering period of each Trust, all of the fees
and expenses of the Trust will accrue on a daily basis and will be charged to
the Trust, in arrears, at the end of the initial offering period. After the
initial offering period, all of the fees and expenses of a Trust will accrue on
a daily basis and will be charged to the Trust, in arrears, on a monthly basis.
The fees and expenses are payable out of the Capital Account. When such fees and
expenses are paid by or owing to the Trustee, they are secured by a lien on the
related Trust's portfolio. If the balance in the Capital Account is insufficient
to provide for amounts payable by a Trust, the Trustee has the power to sell
Equity Securities to pay such amounts. It is expected that the balance in the
Capital Account will be insufficient to provide for amounts payable by the
Trusts and that Equity Securities will be sold from the Trusts to pay such
amounts.
These sales may result in capital gains or losses to Unitholders. See "Federal
Taxation".

PUBLIC OFFERING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General. Units are offered at the Public Offering Price. During the initial
offering period and for secondary market transactions after the initial offering
period the Public Offering Price is based on the aggregate underlying value of
the Securities, the initial sales charge described below, and cash, if any, in
the Income and Capital Accounts. The initial sales charge is equal to the
difference between the total sales charge for a Trust (3.25% of the Public
Offering Price) and the deferred sales charge ($0.225 per Unit). The monthly
deferred sales charge will begin accruing on a daily basis on September 15, 1998
and will continue to accrue through May 14, 1999. The monthly deferred sales
charge will be charged, in arrears, commencing October 15, 1998 and will be
charged on the 15th day of each month thereafter through May 15, 1999. If any
deferred sales charge payment date is not a business day, the payment will be
charged on the next business day. Unitholders will be assessed only that portion
of the deferred sales charge accrued from the time they became Unitholders of
record. Units purchased subsequent to the initial deferred sales charge payment
will be subject to only that portion of the deferred sales charge payments not
yet collected. The deferred sales charges will be paid from funds in the Capital
Account, if sufficient, or from the periodic sale of Securities. The sales
charge applicable to quantity purchases is reduced on a graduated basis to any
person acquiring 10,000 or more Units as follows:

Aggregate Number of Units Purchased* Sales Charge Per Unit
----------------------------------- ---------------------
10,000-24,999 3.00%
25,000-49,999 2.75
50,000-99,999 2.50
100,000 or more 2.00

- -------------------
*The breakpoint sales charges are also applied on a dollar basis utilizing a
breakpoint equivalent in the above table of $10 per Unit and will be applied
on whichever basis is more favorable to the investor. The breakpoints will be
adjusted to take into consideration purchase orders stated in dollars which
cannot be completely fulfilled due to the Trusts' requirement that only whole
Units be issued.

Any sales charge reduction will primarily be the responsibility of the
selling broker, dealer or agent. This reduced sales charge structure will apply
on all purchases by the same person from any one dealer of units of Van Kampen
American Capital-sponsored unit investment trusts which are being offered in the
initial offering period (a) on any one day (the "Initial Purchase Date") or (b)
on any day subsequent to the Initial Purchase Date if (1) the units purchased
are of a unit investment trust purchased on the Initial Purchase Date, and (2)
the person purchasing the units purchased a sufficient amount of units on the
Initial Purchase Date to qualify for a reduced sales charge on such date. In the
event units of more than one trust are purchased on the Initial Purchase Date,
the aggregate dollar amount of such purchases will be used to determine whether
purchasers are eligible for a reduced sales charge. Such aggregate dollar amount
will be divided by the public offering price per unit (on the day preceding the
date of purchase) of each respective trust purchased to determine the total
number of units which such amount could have purchased of each individual trust.
Purchasers must then consult the applicable trust's prospectus to determine
whether the total number of units which could have been purchased of a specific
trust would have qualified for a reduced sales charge and, if so qualified, the
amount of such reduction. Assuming a purchased qualified for a sales charge
reduction or reductions, to determine the applicable sales charge reduction or
reductions it is necessary to accumulate all purchases made on the Initial
Purchase Date and all purchases made in accordance with (b) above. Units
purchased in the name of the spouse of a purchaser or in the name of a child of
such purchaser ("immediate family members") will be deemed for the purposes of
calculating the applicable sales charge to be additional purchases by the
purchaser. The reduced sales charges will also be applicable to a trustee or
other fiduciary purchasing securities for one or more trust estate or fiduciary
accounts.
A purchaser desiring to purchase during a 13 month period $500,000 or more of
any combination of series of Van Kampen American Capital unit investment trusts
may qualify for a reduced sales charge by signing a nonbinding Letter of Intent
with any single broker-dealer. After signing a Letter of Intent, at the date
total purchases, less redemptions, of units of any combination of series of Van
Kampen American Capital unit investment trusts by a purchaser (including units
purchased in the name of the spouse of a purchaser or in the name of a child of
such purchaser under 21 years of age) exceed $500,000, the selling
broker-dealer, bank or other will credit the unitholder with cash as a
retroactive reduction of the sales charge on such units equal to the amount
which would have been paid for the total aggregated sale amount. If a purchaser
does not complete the required purchases under the Letter of Intent within the
13 month period, no such retroactive sales charge reduction shall be made. To
qualify under a Letter of Intent each purchase of units of Van Kampen American
Capital unit investment trusts must equal or exceed $100,000.
Units may be purchased in the primary or secondary market at the Public
Offering Price (for purchases which do not qualify for a sales charge reduction
for quantity purchases) less the concession the Sponsor typically allows to
brokers and dealers for purchases (see "Public Offering--Unit Distribution") by
(1) investors who purchase Units through registered investment advisers,
certified financial planners and registered broker-dealers who in each case
either charge periodic fees for financial planning, investment advisory or asset
management service, or provide such services in connection with the
establishment of an investment account for which a comprehensive "wrap fee"
charge is imposed, (2) bank trust departments investing funds over which they
exercise exclusive discretionary investment authority and that are held in a
fiduciary, agency, custodial or similar capacity, (3) any person who for at
least 90 days, has been an officer, director or bona fide employee of any firm
offering Units for sale to investors or their immediate family members (as
described above) and (4) officers and directors of bank holding companies that
make Units available directly or through subsidiaries or bank affiliates.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Prospectus, such investors,
bank trust departments, firm employees and bank holding company officers and
directors who purchase Units through this program will not receive sales charge
reductions for quantity purchases.
Employees, officers and directors (including their spouses, children,
grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law,
sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, and trustees, custodians or fiduciaries for
the benefit of such persons) of Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc.
and its affiliates, dealers and their affiliates, and vendors providing services
to the Sponsor may purchase Units at the Public Offering Price less the
applicable dealer concession.
During the initial offering period of the Trusts, unitholders of unaffiliated
unit investment trusts having an investment objective similar to the investment
objective of the Trusts may utilize proceeds received upon termination or upon
redemption immediately preceding termination of such unaffiliated trust to
purchase Units of the Trusts at the Public Offering Price per Unit less 1%.
During the initial offering period, unitholders of any Van Kampen American
Capital-sponsored unit investment trust may utilize their redemption or
termination proceeds to purchase Units of these Trusts at the Public Offering
Price per Unit less 1%.
Offering Price. The Public Offering Price of the Units will vary from the
amounts stated under "Summary of Essential Financial Information" in accordance
with fluctuations in the prices of the underlying Securities.

As indicated above, the price of the Units was established by adding to the
determination of the aggregate underlying value of the Securities an amount
equal to the difference between the total sales charge of 3.25% of the Public
Offering Price and the deferred sales charge ($0.225 per Unit) and dividing the
sum so obtained by the number of Units outstanding. The Public Offering Price
per Unit shall include the proportionate share of any cash held in the Income
and Capital Accounts. Such price determination as of the close of the relevant
stock market on the day before the Initial Day of Deposit was made on the basis
of an evaluation of the Securities prepared by Interactive Data Corporation, a
firm regularly engaged in the business of evaluating, quoting or appraising
comparable securities. Thereafter, the Evaluator on each business day will
appraise or cause to be appraised the value of the underlying Securities as of
the Evaluation Time and will adjust the Public Offering Price of the Units
commensurate with such valuation. Such Public Offering Price will be effective
for all orders received prior to the Evaluation Time on each such day. Orders
received by the Trustee or Sponsor for purchases, sales or redemptions after
that time, or on a day which is not a business day for a Trust, will be held
until the next determination of price. Unitholders who purchase Units subsequent
to the Initial Date of Deposit will pay an initial sales charge equal to the
difference between the total sales charge and the deferred sales charge ($0.225
per Unit) and will be assessed a deferred sales charge of $0.225 per Unit as set
forth in "Public Offering--General". Effective May 19, 1999 the sales charge
will be 2.75% and will not include deferred payments. The Sponsor currently does
not intend to maintain a secondary market after November 17, 1999.

The aggregate underlying value of the Equity Securities during the initial
offering period is determined on each business day by the Evaluator in the
following manner: if the Equity Securities are listed on a national securities
exchange, this evaluation is generally based on the closing sale prices on that
exchange (unless it is determined that these prices are inappropriate as a basis
for valuation) or, if there is no closing sale price on that exchange, at the
closing ask prices. If the Equity Securities are not so listed or, if so listed
and the principal market therefore is other than on the exchange, the evaluation
shall generally be based on the current ask price on the over-the-counter market
(unless it is determined that these prices are inappropriate as a basis for
evaluation). If current ask prices are unavailable, the evaluation is generally
determined (a) on the basis of current ask prices for comparable securities, (b)
by appraising the value of the Equity Securities on the ask side of the market
or (c) by any combination of the above.
In offering the Units to the public, neither the Sponsor nor any
broker-dealers are recommending any of the individual Securities in a Trust but
rather the entire pool of Securities, taken as a whole, which are represented by
the Units.
Unit Distribution. During the initial offering period, Units will be
distributed to the public by the Sponsor, broker-dealers and others at the
Public Offering Price. Upon the completion of the initial offering period, Units
repurchased in the secondary market, if any, may be offered by this Prospectus
at the secondary market Public Offering Price in the manner described above.
The Sponsor intends to qualify the Units for sale in a number of states.
Brokers, dealers and others will be allowed a concession or agency commission in
connection with the distribution of Units during the initial offering period as
set forth in the following table. A portion of such concessions or agency
commissions represents amounts paid by the Sponsor to such brokers, dealers and
others out of its own assets as additional compensation.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Initial Offering Period Concession or
Aggregate Number of Units Per Trust Purchased* Agency Commission per Unit
---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
<S> <C>
1-9,999 2.25%
10,000-24,999 2.00
25,000-49,999 1.90
50,000-99,999 1.75
100,000 or more 1.40
</TABLE>
- ------------------
*The breakpoint concessions, agency commissions or additional payments are
also applied on a dollar basis utilizing a breakpoint equivalent in the above
table of $10 per Unit and will be applied on whichever basis is more
favorable to the investor. The breakpoints will be adjusted to take into
consideration purchase orders stated in dollars which cannot be completely
fulfilled due to the requirement that only whole Units be issued. In addition
to the amounts set forth above, any firm that distributes a total of
500,000-999,999 Units of a Trust during the initial
offering period will be paid additional compensation by the Sponsor of $0.005
per Unit distributed; or any firm that distributes a total of 1,000,000 -
1,999,999 Units of a Trust during the initial offering period will be paid
additional compensation by the Sponsor of $0.01 per Unit distributed; or any
firm that distributes a total of 2,000,000 - 2,999,999 Units of a Trust during
the initial offering period will be paid additional compensation by the Sponsor
of $0.015 per Unit distributed; or any firm that distributes a total of
3,000,000 or more Units of a Trust during the initial offering period will be
paid additional compensation by the Sponsor of $.02 per Unit distributed. Such
additional compensation will be paid at the end of the initial offering period
of a Trust.
Any discount provided to investors will be borne by the selling dealer or
agent as indicated under "General" above. For transactions involving Rollover
Unitholders, the total concession or agency commission will amount to 1.50% per
Unit (or such lesser amount resulting from quantity sales discounts). For all
secondary transactions, the total concession or agency commission will amount to
70% of the sales charge applicable to the transaction. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the total of any concessions, agency commissions and any
additional compensation allowed or paid to any broker, dealer or other
distributor of Units with respect to any individual transaction, shall in no
case exceed the total sales charge applicable to such transaction.
Certain commercial banks are making Units available to their customers on an
agency basis. A portion of the sales charge (equal to the agency commission
referred to above) is retained by or remitted to the banks. Under the
Glass-Steagall Act, banks are prohibited from underwriting Trust Units; however,
the Glass-Steagall Act does permit certain agency transactions and the banking
regulators have not indicated that these particular agency transactions are not
permitted under such Act. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein and banks and
financial institutions may be required to register as dealers pursuant to state
law.
To facilitate the handling of transactions, sales of Units shall normally be
limited to transactions involving a minimum of 100 Units per Trust (25 Units for
qualified retirement plans) but may vary by selling firm. In connection with
fully disclosed transactions with the Sponsor, the minimum purchase requirement
will be that number of Units set forth in the contract between the Sponsor and
the related broker or agent. The Sponsor reserves the right to reject, in whole
or in part, any order for the purchase of Units and to change the amount of the
concession or agency commission to dealers and others from time to time.
Sponsor and Other Compensation. The Sponsor will receive a gross sales
commission equal to 3.25% of the Public Offering Price of the Units less any
reduced sales charge for purchases as described under "General" above. Any such
discount provided to investors will be borne by the selling dealer or agent.
In addition, the Sponsor will realize a profit or will sustain a loss, as the
case may be, as a result of the difference between the price paid for the
Securities by the Sponsor and the cost of such Securities to the Trusts on the
Initial Date of Deposit as well as on subsequent deposits. See "Notes to
Portfolios". The Sponsor has not participated as sole underwriter or as manager
or as a member of the underwriting syndicates or as an agent in a private
placement for any of the Securities. The Sponsor may further realize additional
profit or loss during the initial offering period as a result of the possible
fluctuations in the market value of the Securities after a date of deposit,
since all proceeds received from purchasers of Units.
Broker-dealers, banks and/or others may be eligible to participate in a
program in which such firms receive from the Sponsor a nominal award for each of
their representatives who have sold a minimum number of units of unit investment
trusts created by the Sponsor during a specified time period. In addition, at
various times the Sponsor may implement other programs under which the sales
forces of brokers, dealers, banks and/or others may be eligible to win other
nominal awards for certain sales efforts, or under which the Sponsor will
reallow to such brokers, dealers, banks and/or others that sponsor sales
contests or recognition programs conforming to criteria established by the
Sponsor or participate in sales programs by the Sponsor, an amount not exceeding
the total applicable sales charges on the sales generated by such persons at the
public offering price during such programs. Also, the Sponsor in its discretion
may from time to time pursuant to objective criteria established by the Sponsor
paid fees to qualifying entities for certain services or activities which are
primarily intended to result in sales of Units of the Trusts. Such payments are
made by the Sponsor out of its own assets, and not out of assets of the Trusts.
These programs will not change the price Unitholders pay for their Units or the
amount that the Trusts will receive from the Units sold.
A person will become the owner of Units on the date of settlement provided
payment has been received. Cash, if any, made available to the Sponsor prior to
the date of settlement for the purchase of Units may be used in the Sponsor's
business and may be deemed to be a benefit to the Sponsor, subject to the
limitations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As stated under "Public Market" below, the Sponsor currently intends to
maintain a secondary market for Units for the period indicated. In so
maintaining a market, the Sponsor will also realize profits or sustain losses in
the amount of any difference between the price at which Units are purchased and
the price at which Units are resold (which price includes the applicable sales
charge). In addition, the Sponsor will also realize profits or sustain losses
resulting from a redemption of such repurchased Units at a price above or below
the purchase price for such Units, respectively.

Public Market. Although it is not obligated to do so, the Sponsor currently
intends to maintain a market for the Units offered hereby through November 17,
1999 and offer continuously to purchase Units at prices, subject to change at
any time, based upon the aggregate underlying value of the Equity Securities
(computed as indicated under "Offering Price" above and "Rights of
Unitholders--Redemption of Units"). If the supply of Units exceeds demand or if
some other business reason warrants it, the Sponsor may either discontinue all
purchases of Units or discontinue purchases of Units at such prices. In the
event that a market is not maintained for the Units and the Unitholder cannot
find another purchaser, a Unitholder desiring to dispose of his Units will be
able to dispose of such Units by tendering them to the Trustee for redemption at
the Redemption Price. See "Rights of Unitholders--Redemption of Units". A
Unitholder who wishes to dispose of his Units should inquire of his broker as to
current market prices in order to determine whether there is in existence any
price in excess of the Redemption Price and, if so, the amount thereof. Units
sold prior to such time as the entire deferred sales charge on such Units has
been collected will be assessed the amount of the remaining deferred sales
charge at the time of sale (however, Units sold on or prior to the first Special
Redemption Date will not be assessed the unpaid $0.225 per Unit deferred sales
charge remaining after such date).

Tax-Sheltered Retirement Plans. Units are available for purchase in
connection with certain types of tax-sheltered retirement plans, including
Individual Retirement Accounts for the individuals, Simplified Employee Pension
Plans for employees, qualified plans for self-employed individuals, and
qualified corporate pension and profit sharing plans for employees. The purchase
of Units may be limited by the plans' provisions and does not itself establish
such plans. The minimum purchase for retirement plans is 25 Units but may vary
by selling firm.

RIGHTS OF UNITHOLDERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certificates. The Trustee is authorized to treat as the record owner of Units
that person who is registered as such owner on the books of the Trustee.
Ownership of Units will be evidenced by certificates unless a Unitholder or the
Unitholder's registered broker-dealer makes a written request to the Trustee
that ownership be in book entry form. Units are transferable by making a written
request to the Trustee and, in the case of Units evidenced by a certificate, by
presentation and surrender of such certificate to the Trustee properly endorsed
or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer. A Unitholder
must sign such written request, and such certificate or transfer instrument,
exactly as his name appears on the records of the Trustee and on the face of any
certificate representing the Units to be transferred with the signature
guaranteed by a participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program
("STAMP") or such other signature guarantee program in addition to, or in
substitution for, STAMP as may be accepted by the Trustee. In certain instances
the Trustee may require additional documents such as, but not limited to, trust
instruments, certificates of death, appointments as executor or administrator or
certificates of corporate authority. Certificates will be issued in
denominations of one Unit or any whole multiple thereof.
Although no such charge is now made or contemplated, the Trustee may require
a Unitholder to pay a reasonable fee for each certificate reissued or
transferred and to pay any governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with each such transfer or interchange. Destroyed, stolen, mutilated or lost
certificates will be replaced upon delivery to the Trustee of satisfactory
indemnity, evidence of ownership and payment of expenses incurred. Mutilated
certificates must be surrendered to the Trustee for replacement.
Distributions of Income and Capital. Any dividends received by the Trust with
respect to the Equity Securities therein are credited by the Trustee to the
Income Account. Other receipts (e.g., capital gains, proceeds from the sale of
Securities, etc.) are credited to the Capital Account. Proceeds from the sales
of Securities to meet redemptions of Units shall be segregated within the
Capital Account from proceeds from the sale of Securities made to satisfy the
fees, expenses and charges of a Trust.
The Trustee will distribute any net income received with respect to any of
the Securities on or about the Income Account Distribution Date to Unitholders
of record on the preceding Record Date. See "Summary of Essential Financial
Information". Proceeds received on the sale of any Securities, to the extent not
used to meet redemptions of Units, pay the deferred sales charge or pay
expenses, will be distributed on the Capital Account Distribution Date to
Unitholders of record on the preceding Capital Account Record Date. Proceeds
received from the disposition of any of the Securities after a record date and
prior to the following distribution date will be held in the Capital Account and
not distributed until the next distribution date applicable to such Capital
Account. The Trustee is not required to pay interest on funds held in the
Capital or Income Accounts (but may itself earn interest thereon and therefore
benefits from the use of such funds) nor to make a distribution from the Income
or Capital Accounts unless the amount available for distribution therein shall
equal at least $0.01 per Unit.
The distribution to Unitholders as of each record date will be made on the
following distribution date or shortly thereafter and shall consist of each
Unitholder's pro rata share of the cash in the Income Account. Because dividends
are not received by the Trusts at a constant rate throughout the year, such
distributions to Unitholders are expected to fluctuate from distribution to
distribution. Persons who purchase Units will commence receiving distributions
only after such person becomes a record owner. Notification to the Trustee of
the transfer of Units is the responsibility of the purchaser, but in the normal
course of business such notice is provided by the selling broker-dealer.
At the end of the initial offering period and each month thereafter, the
Trustee will deduct from the Capital Account amounts necessary to pay the
expenses of the Trust (as determined on the basis set forth under "Trust
Operating Expenses"). The Trustee also may withdraw from the Income and Capital
Accounts such amounts, if any, as it deems necessary to establish a reserve for
any governmental charges payable out of a Trust. Amounts so withdrawn shall not
be considered a part of a Trust's assets until such time as the Trustee shall
return all or any part of such amounts to the appropriate accounts. In addition,
the Trustee may withdraw from the Income and Capital Accounts such amounts as
may be necessary to cover redemptions of Units.
It is anticipated that the deferred sales charge will be collected from the
Capital Account. To the extent that amounts in the Capital Account are
insufficient to satisfy the then current deferred sales charge obligation,
Equity Securities may be sold to meet such shortfall. Distributions of amounts
necessary to pay the deferred portion of the sales charge will be made to an
account maintained by the Trustee for purposes of satisfying Unitholders'
deferred sales charge obligations.
Reinvestment Option. In the event that any distribution is made to
Unitholders prior to termination of the Trust, Unitholders will initially have
each such distribution of dividend income, capital gains and/or principal on
their Units automatically reinvested in additional Units under the "Automatic
Reinvestment Option" (to the extent Units may be lawfully offered for sale in
the state in which the Unitholder resides). Unitholders receiving Units pursuant
to participation in the Automatic Reinvestment Option will be subject to the
remaining deferred sales charge payments due on Units (assuming for these
purposes such Units had been outstanding during the primary offering period).
Unitholders may also elect to receive distributions of dividend income, capital
gains and/or principal on their Units in cash. To receive cash, a Unitholder may
either contact his or her broker or agent or file with the Trustee a written
notice of election at least five days prior to the Record Date for which the
first distribution is to apply. A Unitholder's election to receive cash will
apply to all Units owned by such Unitholder and such election will remain in
effect until changed by the Unitholder.
Reinvestment plan distributions may be reinvested in Units already held in
inventory by the Sponsor (see "Public Offering--Public Market") or, until such
time as additional Units cease to be issued by a Trust (see "The Trusts"),
distributions may be reinvested in such additional Units. If Units are
unavailable in the secondary market, distributions which would otherwise have
been reinvested shall be paid in cash to the Unitholder on the applicable
Distribution Date.
Purchases of additional Units made pursuant to the reinvestment plan will be
made at the net asset value for Units as of the Evaluation Time on the related
Income or Capital Distribution Dates. Under the reinvestment plan, a Trust will
pay the Unitholder's distributions to the Trustee which in turn will purchase
for such Unitholder full and fractional Units and will send such Unitholder a
statement reflecting the reinvestment.
Unitholders may also elect to have each distribution of income, capital gains
and/or capital on their Units automatically reinvested in Class A shares of
certain Van Kampen American Capital or Morgan Stanley mutual funds which are
registered in the Unitholder's state of residence. Such mutual funds are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Reinvestment Funds".
Each Reinvestment Fund has investment objectives which differ in certain
respects from those of the Trusts. The prospectus relating to each Reinvestment
Fund describes the investment policies of such fund and sets forth the
procedures to follow to commence reinvestment. A Unitholder may obtain a
prospectus for the respective Reinvestment Funds from Van Kampen American
Capital Distributors, Inc. at One Parkview Plaza, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois
60181. Texas residents who desire to reinvest may request that a broker-dealer
registered in Texas send the prospectus relating to the respective fund.
After becoming a participant in a reinvestment plan, each distribution of
income, capital gains and/or capital on the participant's Units will, on the
applicable distribution date, automatically be applied, as directed by such
person, as of such distribution date by the Trustee to purchase shares (or
fractions thereof) of the applicable Reinvestment Fund at a net asset value as
computed as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on such date.
Unitholders with an existing Guaranteed Reinvestment Option (GRO) Program
account (whereby a sales charge is imposed on distribution reinvestments) may
transfer their existing account into a new GRO account which allows purchases of
Reinvestment Fund shares at net asset value as described above. Confirmations of
all reinvestments by a Unitholder into a Reinvestment Fund will be mailed to the
Unitholder by such Reinvestment Fund.
A participant may at any time prior to five days preceding the next
succeeding distribution date, by so notifying the Trustee in writing, elect to
terminate his or her reinvestment plan and receive future distributions on his
or her Units in cash. There will be no charge or other penalty for such
termination. The Sponsor, each Reinvestment Fund, and its investment adviser
shall have the right to suspend or terminate the reinvestment plan at any time.
Reports Provided. The Trustee shall furnish Unitholders in connection with
each distribution a statement of the amount of income and the amount of other
receipts (received since the preceding distribution), if any, being distributed,
expressed in each case as a dollar amount representing the pro rata share of
each Unit outstanding. Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall furnish to each person who at any time during
the calendar year was a registered Unitholder of a Trust (i) a statement as to
the Income Account: income received, deductions for applicable taxes and for
fees and expenses of the Trust, for redemptions of Units, if any, and the
balance remaining after such distributions and deductions, expressed in each
case both as a total dollar amount and as a dollar amount representing the pro
rata share of each Unit outstanding on the last business day of such calendar
year; (ii) a statement as to the Capital Account: the dates of disposition of
any Securities and the net proceeds received therefrom, deductions for payment
of applicable taxes, fees and expenses of the Trust held for distribution to
Unitholders of record as of a date prior to the determination and the balance
remaining after such distributions and deductions expressed both as a total
dollar amount and as a dollar amount representing the pro rata share of each
Unit outstanding on the last business day of such calendar year; (iii) a list of
the Securities held by the Trust and the number of Units outstanding on the last
business day of such calendar year; (iv) the Redemption Price per Unit based
upon the last computation thereof made during such calendar year; and (v)
amounts actually distributed during such calendar year from the Income and
Capital Accounts, separately stated, expressed as total dollar amounts.
In order to comply with federal and state tax reporting requirements,
Unitholders will be furnished, upon request to the Trustee, evaluations of the
Securities in the Trust furnished to it by the Evaluator.
Redemption of Units. A Unitholder may redeem all or a portion of his Units
by tender to the Trustee at its Unit Investment Trust Division, 101 Barclay
Street, 20th Floor, New York, New York 10286 and, in the case of Units evidenced
by a certificate, by tendering such certificate to the Trustee, duly endorsed or
accompanied by proper instruments of transfer with signature guaranteed as
described above (or by providing satisfactory indemnity, as in connection with
lost, stolen or destroyed certificates) and by payment of applicable
governmental charges, if any. No redemption fee will be charged. On the third
business day following such tender, the Unitholder will generally receive in
cash (unless the redeeming Unitholder elects an In Kind Distribution as
described below) an amount for each Unit equal to the Redemption Price per Unit
next computed after receipt by the Trustee of such tender of Units. The "date of
tender" is deemed to be the date on which Units are received by the Trustee,
except that with respect to Units received after the applicable Evaluation Time
the date of tender is the next business day as defined under "Public
Offering--Offering Price" and such Units will be deemed to have been tendered to
the Trustee on such day for redemption at the redemption price computed on that
day. Units redeemed prior to such time as the entire deferred sales charge has
been collected will be assessed the amount of the remaining deferred sales
charge at the time of redemption.
The Trustee is empowered to sell Securities in order to make funds available
for redemption if funds are not otherwise available in the Capital and Income
Accounts to meet redemptions. The Securities to be sold will be selected by the
Trustee from those designated on a current list provided by the Supervisor for
this purpose. Units so redeemed shall be cancelled. Units tendered for
redemption prior to such time as the entire deferred sales charge on such Units
has been collected will be assessed the amount of the remaining deferred sales
charge at the time of redemption.
Unitholders tendering 1,000 or more Units for redemption may request from the
Trustee, in lieu of a cash redemption, an in kind distribution ("In Kind
Distribution") of an amount and value of Securities per Unit equal to the
Redemption Price per Unit as determined as of the evaluation next following the
tender. An In Kind Distribution on redemption of Units will be made by the
Trustee through the distribution of each of the Securities in book-entry form to
the account of the Unitholder's bank or broker-dealer at Depository Trust
Company. The tendering Unitholder will receive his pro rata number of whole
shares of each of the Securities comprising the related Trust portfolio and cash
from the Capital Account equal to the fractional shares to which the tendering
Unitholder is entitled. The Trustee may adjust the number of shares of any issue
of Securities included in a Unitholder's In Kind Distribution to facilitate the
distribution of whole shares, such adjustment to be made on the basis of the
value of Securities on the date of tender. If funds in the Capital Account are
insufficient to cover the required cash distribution to the tendering
Unitholder, the Trustee may sell Securities according to the criteria discussed
above.
To the extent that Securities are redeemed in kind or sold, the size of a
Trust will be, and the diversity of the Trust may be, reduced. Sales may be
required at a time when Securities would not otherwise be sold and may result in
lower prices than might otherwise be realized. The price received upon
redemption may be more or less than the amount paid by the Unitholder depending
on the value of the Securities in the portfolio at the time of redemption.
Special federal income tax consequences will result if a Unitholder requests an
In Kind Distribution. See "Federal Taxation".
The Redemption Price per Unit (as well as the secondary market Public
Offering Price) will be determined on the basis of the aggregate underlying
value of the Equity Securities, plus or minus cash, if any, in the Income and
Capital Accounts. On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Public Offering Price per
Unit (which includes the initial sales charge) exceeded the values at which
Units could have been redeemed by the amounts shown under "Summary of Essential
Financial Information". The Redemption Price per Unit is the pro rata share of
each Unit in a Trust determined on the basis of (i) the cash on hand in the
Trust, (ii) the value of the Securities and (iii) dividends receivable on the
Equity Securities trading ex-dividend as of the date of computation, less (a)
amounts representing taxes or other governmental charges payable out of the
Trust, (b) the accrued expenses of the Trust and (c) any unpaid deferred sales
charge payments. The Evaluator may determine the value of the Equity Securities
in the following manner: if the Equity Securities are listed on a national
securities exchange, this evaluation is generally based on the closing sale
prices on that exchange (unless it is determined that these prices are
inappropriate as a basis for valuation) or, if there is no closing sale price on
that exchange, at the closing bid prices. If the Equity Securities are not so
listed or, if so listed and the principal market therefore is other than on the
exchange, the evaluation shall generally be based on the current bid price on
the over-the-counter market (unless these prices are inappropriate as a basis
for evaluation). If current bid prices are unavailable, the evaluation is
generally determined (a) on the basis of current bid prices for comparable
securities, (b) by appraising the value of the Equity Securities on the bid side
of the market or (c) by any combination of the above.
The right of redemption may be suspended and payment postponed for any period
during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than for customary
weekend and holiday closings, or any period during which the Securities and
Exchange Commission determines that trading on that Exchange is restricted or an
emergency exists, as a result of which disposal or evaluation of the Securities
is not reasonably practicable, or for such other periods as the Securities and
Exchange Commission may by order permit.
Special Redemption and Rollover in New Trust. It is expected that a special
redemption will be made of all Units held by any Unitholder (a "Rollover
Unitholder") who affirmatively notifies the Trustee in writing that he desires
to rollover his Units by the Rollover Notification Date specified in the
"Summary of Essential Financial Information".
All Units of Rollover Unitholders will be redeemed on the Special Redemption
Date and the underlying Securities will be distributed to the Distribution Agent
on behalf of the Rollover Unitholders. On the Special Redemption Date (as set
forth in "Summary of Essential Financial Information"), the Distribution Agent
will be required to sell all of the underlying Securities on behalf of Rollover
Unitholders. The sales proceeds will be net of brokerage fees, governmental
charges or any expenses involved in the sales.
The Distribution Agent will attempt to sell the Securities as quickly as is
practicable on the Special Redemption Date. The Sponsor does not anticipate that
the period will be longer than one day given that the Securities are usually
liquid. However, certain of the factors discussed under "Risk Factors" could
affect the ability of the Sponsor to sell the Securities and thereby affect the
length of the sale period somewhat. The liquidity of any Security depends on the
daily trading volume of the Security and the amount that the Sponsor has
available for sale on any particular day.
The Rollover Unitholders' proceeds will be invested in a new trust (the "New
Trust"), if then being offered, which will contain a portfolio of common stocks
of companies diversified within a specific industry sector. The proceeds of
redemption will be used to buy New Trust units in the portfolio as the proceeds
become available.
The Sponsor intends to create a New Trust shortly prior to the Special
Redemption Date, dependent upon the availability and reasonably favorable prices
of the securities included in the New Trust portfolio, and it is intended that
Rollover Unitholders will be given first priority to purchase the New Trust
units. There can be no assurance, however, as to the exact timing of the
creation of the New Trust units or the aggregate number of New Trust units which
the Sponsor will create. The Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, stop creating
new units in a trust portfolio at any time it chooses, regardless of whether all
proceeds of the Special Redemption have been invested on behalf of Rollover
Unitholders. Cash which has not been invested on behalf of the Rollover
Unitholders in New Trust units will be distributed shortly after the Special
Redemption Date.
Any Rollover Unitholder may thus be redeemed out of the Trust and become a
holder of an entirely different unit investment trust in the New Trust with a
different portfolio of Securities. The Rollover Unitholders' Units will be
redeemed and the distributed Securities shall be sold on the Special Redemption
Date. In accordance with the Rollover Unitholders' offer to purchase the New
Trust units, the proceeds of the sales (and any other cash distributed upon
redemption) will be invested in the New Trust at the public offering price,
including a reduced sales charge.
This process of redemption and rollover into a new trust is intended to allow
for the fact that the portfolios selected by the Sponsor is chosen on the basis
of growth potential only for the near term, at which point a new portfolio is
chosen. It is contemplated that a similar process of redemption and rollover in
new unit investment trusts will be available for each subsequent series of the
Trusts.
There can be no assurance that the redemption and rollover in a new trust
will avoid any negative market price consequences stemming from the trading of
large volumes of securities and of the underlying Securities. The above
procedures may be insufficient or unsuccessful in avoiding such price
consequences. In fact, market price trends may make it advantageous to sell or
buy more quickly or more slowly than permitted by these procedures. Investors
should note that, because aggressive growth stocks generally experience stock
price volatility to a greater extent than other securities and because the Trust
is not a "managed" fund, there can be no assurance that these procedures will
result in advantageous sales or purchases of securities or that any future
rollover will occur at an advantageous time. See "Trust
Administration--Portfolio Administration" and "Risk Factors".
It should also be noted that Rollover Unitholders may realize taxable capital
gains on the Special Redemption and Rollover but, in certain circumstances, will
not be entitled to a deduction for certain capital losses and, due to the
procedures for investing in the subsequent trust, no cash would be distributed
at that time to pay any taxes. Included in the cash for the Special Redemption
and Rollover will be any amount of cash attributable to the last distribution of
dividend income; accordingly, Rollover Unitholders also will not have such cash
distributed to pay any taxes. See "Federal Taxation". Unitholders who do not
inform the Distribution Agent that they wish to have their Units so redeemed and
liquidated will not realize capital gains or losses due to the Special
Redemption and Rollover.
The Sponsor may for any reason, in its sole discretion, decide not to sponsor
subsequent trust, without penalty or incurring liability to any Unitholder. If
the Sponsor so decides, the Sponsor shall notify the Unitholders before the
Special Redemption Date. The Sponsor may modify the terms of any subsequent
trust. The Sponsor may also modify the terms of the Special Redemption and
Rollover upon notice to the Unitholders prior to the Rollover Notification Date
specified in the "Summary of Essential Financial Information".
Pursuant to an exemptive order, each terminating Trust (and the Distribution
Agent on behalf of Rollover Unitholders) can sell Securities to a New Trust if
those Securities continue to meet the related investment strategy of the
respective Series. The exemption will enable each Trust to eliminate commission
costs on these transactions. The price for those securities will be the closing
sale price on the sale date on the exchange where the Securities are principally
traded, as certified by the Trustee.

TRUST ADMINISTRATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sponsor Purchases of Units. The Trustee shall notify the Sponsor of any Units
tendered for redemption. If the Sponsor's bid in the secondary market at that
time equals or exceeds the Redemption Price per Unit, it may purchase such Units
by notifying the Trustee before the close of business on the next succeeding
business day and by making payment therefore to the Unitholder not later than
the day on which the Units would otherwise have been redeemed by the Trustee.
Units held by the Sponsor may be tendered to the Trustee for redemption as any
other Units.
The offering price of any Units acquired by the Sponsor will be in accord
with the Public Offering Price described in the then currently effective
prospectus describing such Units. Any profit resulting from the resale of such
Units will belong to the Sponsor which likewise will bear any loss resulting
from a lower offering or redemption price subsequent to its acquisition of such
Units.
Portfolio Administration. The portfolios of the Trusts are not "managed" by
the Sponsor, Supervisor or the Trustee; their activities described herein are
governed solely by the provisions of the Trust Agreement. Traditional methods of
investment management for a managed fund typically involve frequent changes in a
portfolio of securities on the basis of economic, financial and market analyses.
The Trusts, however, will not be managed. The Trust Agreement, however, provides
that the Sponsor may (but need not) direct the Trustee to dispose of an Equity
Security in certain events such as the issuer having defaulted on the payment on
any of its outstanding obligations or the price of an Equity Security has
declined to such an extent or other such credit factors exist so that in the
opinion of the Sponsor the retention of such Securities would be detrimental to
a Trust. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement and with limited exceptions, the
Trustee may sell any securities or other properties acquired in exchange for
Equity Securities such as those acquired in connection with a merger or other
transaction. If offered such new or exchanged securities or property, the
Trustee shall reject the offer. However, in the event such securities or
property are nonetheless acquired by a Trust, they may be accepted for deposit
in the Trust and either sold by the Trustee or held in the Trust pursuant to the
direction of the Sponsor (who may rely on the advice of the Supervisor).
Proceeds from the sale of Securities (or any securities or other property
received by a Trust in exchange for Equity Securities) are credited to the
Capital Account for distribution to Unitholders or to pay certain costs or
expenses of the Trust. Except as stated under "Trust Portfolios" for failed
securities and as provided in this paragraph, the acquisition by the Trust of
any securities other than the Securities is prohibited.
As indicated under "Rights of Unitholders--Redemption of Units" above, the
Trustee may also sell Securities designated by the Supervisor, or if no such
designation has been made, in its own discretion, for the purpose of redeeming
Units tendered for redemption and the payment of expenses.
To the extent practicable, the Supervisor may (but is not obligated to)
designate Securities to be sold by the Trustee in order to maintain the
proportionate relationship among the number of shares of individual issues of
Equity Securities in a Trust. To the extent this is not practicable, the
composition and diversity of the Equity Securities in a Trust may be altered. In
order to obtain the best price for a Trust, it may be necessary for the
Supervisor to specify minimum amounts (generally 100 shares) in which blocks of
Equity Securities are to be sold. In effecting purchases and sales of a Trust's
portfolio securities, the Sponsor may direct that orders be placed with and
brokerage commissions be paid to brokers, including brokers which may be
affiliated with the Trust, the Sponsor or dealers participating in the offering
of Units. In addition, in selecting among firms to handle a particular
transaction, the Sponsor may take into account whether the firm has sold or is
selling units of unit investment trusts which it sponsors.
Amendment or Termination. The Trust Agreement may be amended by the Trustee
and the Sponsor without the consent of any of the Unitholders (1) to cure any
ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision thereof which may be
defective or inconsistent, or (2) to make such other provisions as shall not
adversely affect the Unitholders (as determined in good faith by the Sponsor and
the Trustee), provided, however, that the Trust Agreement may not be amended to
increase the number of Units (except as provided in the Trust Agreement). The
Trust Agreement may also be amended in any respect by the Trustee and Sponsor,
or any of the provisions thereof may be waived, with the consent of the holders
representing 51% of the Units of a Trust then outstanding, provided that no such
amendment or waiver will reduce the interest in such Trust of any Unitholder
without the consent of such Unitholder or reduce the percentage of Units
required to consent to any such amendment or waiver without the consent of all
Unitholders. The Trustee shall advise the Unitholders of any amendment promptly
after execution thereof.
A Trust may be liquidated at any time by consent of Unitholders representing
66 2/3% of the Units then outstanding or by the Trustee when the value of the
Equity Securities owned by the Trust, as shown by any evaluation, is less than
that amount set forth under Minimum Termination Value in "Summary of Essential
Financial Information." A Trust will be liquidated by the Trustee in the event
that a sufficient number of Units not yet sold are tendered for redemption by
the Sponsor so that the net worth of the Trust would be reduced to less than 40%
of the value of the Securities at the time they were deposited in the Trust. If
a Trust is liquidated because of the redemption of unsold Units by the Sponsor,
the Sponsor will refund to each purchaser of Units the entire sales charge paid
by such purchaser. The Trust Agreement will terminate upon the sale or other
disposition of the last Security in a Trust held thereunder, but in no event
will it continue beyond the Mandatory Termination Date stated under "Summary of
Essential Financial Information".
Commencing on the Mandatory Termination Date, Equity Securities will begin to
be sold in connection with the termination of the Trusts. The Sponsor will
determine the manner, timing and execution of the sales of the Equity
Securities. The Sponsor shall direct the liquidation of the Securities in such
manner as to effectuate orderly sales and a minimal market impact. In the event
the Sponsor does not so direct, the Securities shall be sold within a reasonable
period and in such manner as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall
determine. At least 30 days before the Mandatory Termination Date the Trustee
will provide written notice of any termination to all Unitholders and will
include with such notice a form to enable Unitholders owning 1,000 or more Units
to request an In Kind Distribution rather than payment in cash upon the
termination of a Trust. To be effective, this request must be returned to the
Trustee at least five business days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date. On
the Mandatory Termination Date (or on the next business day thereafter if a
holiday) the Trustee will deliver each requesting Unitholder's pro rata number
of whole shares of each of the Securities to the account of the broker-dealer or
bank designated by the Unitholder at Depository Trust Company. The value of the
Unitholder's fractional shares of the Securities will be paid in cash.
Unitholders with less than 1,000 Units, Unitholders with 1,000 or more Units not
requesting an In Kind Distribution and Unitholders who do not elect the Rollover
Option will receive a cash distribution from the sale of the remaining
Securities within a reasonable time following the Mandatory Termination Date.
Regardless of the distribution involved, the Trustee will deduct from the funds
of the Trusts any accrued costs, expenses, advances or indemnities provided by
the Trust Agreement, including estimated compensation of the Trustee, costs of
liquidation and any amounts required as a reserve to provide for payment of any
applicable taxes or other governmental charges. Any sale of Securities upon
termination may result in a lower amount than might otherwise be realized if
such sale were not required at such time. The Trustee will then distribute to
each Unitholder his pro rata share of the balance of the Income and Capital
Accounts.
The Sponsor currently intends to, but is not obligated to, offer for sale
units of a subsequent trust pursuant to the Rollover Option (see "Rights of
Unitholders--Special Redemption and Rollover in New Trust"). There is, however,
no assurance that units of any new trust will be offered for sale at that time,
or if offered, that there will be sufficient units available for sale to meet
the requests of any or all Unitholders.
Within 60 days of the final distribution Unitholders will be furnished a
final distribution statement of the amount distributable. At such time as the
Trustee in its sole discretion will determine that any amounts held in reserve
are no longer necessary, it will make distribution thereof to Unitholders in the
same manner.
Limitations on Liabilities. The Sponsor, the Evaluator, the Supervisor and
the Trustee shall be under no liability to Unitholders for taking any action or
for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to the Trust
Agreement, or for errors in judgment, but shall be liable only for their own
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence (negligence in the case of
the Trustee) in the performance of their duties or by reason of their reckless
disregard of their obligations and duties hereunder.
The Trustee shall not be liable for depreciation or loss incurred by reason
of the sale by the Trustee of any of the Securities. In the event of the failure
of the Sponsor to act under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee may act thereunder
and shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith under the Trust
Agreement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any taxes or other governmental
charges imposed upon or in respect of the Securities or upon the interest
thereon or upon it as Trustee under the Trust Agreement or upon or in respect of
a Trust which the Trustee may be required to pay under any present or future law
of the United States of America or of any other taxing authority having
jurisdiction. In addition, the Trust Agreement contains other customary
provisions limiting the liability of the Trustee.
The Trustee, Sponsor, Supervisor and Unitholders may rely on any evaluation
furnished by the Evaluator and shall have no responsibility for the accuracy
thereof. Determinations by the Evaluator under the Trust Agreement shall be made
in good faith upon the basis of the best information available to it, provided,
however, that the Evaluator shall be under no liability to the Trustee, Sponsor
or Unitholders for errors in judgment. This provision shall not protect the
Evaluator in any case of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties.

Sponsor. Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, is the Sponsor of the Trust. The Sponsor is an indirect subsidiary
of VK/AC Holding, Inc. VK/AC Holding, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of MSAM
Holdings II, Inc., which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter & Co. ("MSDW").
MSDW, together with various of its directly and indirectly owned
subsidiaries, is engaged in a wide range of financial services through three
primary businesses: securities, asset management and credit services. These
principal businesses include securities underwriting, distribution and trading;
merger, acquisition, restructuring and other corporate finance advisory
activities; merchant banking; stock brokerage and research services; asset
management; trading of futures, options, foreign exchange commodities and swaps
(involving foreign exchange, commodities, indices and interest rates); real
estate advice, financing and investing; global custody, securities clearance
services and securities lending; and credit card services.
Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc. specializes in the
underwriting and distribution of unit investment trusts and mutual funds with
roots in money management dating back to 1926. The Sponsor is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and has offices at One Parkview
Plaza, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois 60181, (630) 684-6000 and 2800 Post Oak
Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77056, (713) 993-0500. As of November 30, 1996, the
total stockholders' equity of Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc. was
$129,451,000 (unaudited). (This paragraph relates only to the Sponsor and not to
the Trusts or to any other Series thereof. The information is included herein
only for the purpose of informing investors as to the financial responsibility
of the Sponsor and its ability to carry out its contractual obligations. More
detailed financial information will be made available by the Sponsor upon
request.)

As of September 30, 1997, the Sponsor and its Van Kampen American Capital
affiliates managed or supervised approximately $65.3 billion of investment
products, of which over $10.85 billion is invested in municipal securities. The
Sponsor and its Van Kampen American Capital affiliates managed $54 billion of
assets, consisting of $34.3 billion for 55 open-end mutual funds (of which 45
are distributed by Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc.) $14.2 billion
for 37 closed-end funds and $5.5 billion for 106 institutional accounts. The
Sponsor has also deposited approximately $26 billion of unit investment trusts.
All of Van Kampen American Capital's open-end funds, closed-ended funds and unit
investment trusts are professionally distributed by leading financial firms
nationwide. Based on cumulative assets deposited, the Sponsor believes that it
is the largest sponsor of insured municipal unit investment trusts, primarily
through the success of its Insured Municipals Income Trust(R) or the IM-IT(R)
trust. The Sponsor also provides surveillance and evaluation services at cost
for approximately $13 billion of unit investment trust assets outstanding. Since
1976, the Sponsor has serviced over two million investor accounts, opened
through retail distribution firms.
If the Sponsor shall fail to perform any of its duties under the Trust
Agreement or become incapable of acting or shall become bankrupt or its affairs
are taken over by public authorities, then the Trustee may (i) appoint a
successor Sponsor at rates of compensation deemed by the Trustee to be
reasonable and not exceeding amounts prescribed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, (ii) terminate the Trust Agreement and liquidate the Trusts as
provided therein or (iii) continue to act as Trustee without terminating the
Trust Agreement.
Trustee. The Trustee is The Bank of New York, a trust company organized under
the laws of New York. The Bank of New York has its unit investment trust
division offices at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286 (800) 221-7668.
The Bank of New York is subject to supervision and examination by the
Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York and the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation to the extent permitted by law.
The duties of the Trustee are primarily ministerial in nature. It did not
participate in the selection of Securities for the Trust portfolios.
In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall keep proper books
of record and account of all transactions at its office for the Trusts. Such
records shall include the name and address of, and the number of Units held by,
every Unitholder of the Trusts. Such books and records shall be open to
inspection by any Unitholder at all reasonable times during the usual business
hours. The Trustee shall make such annual or other reports as may from time to
time be required under any applicable state or federal statute, rule or
regulation (see "Rights of Unitholders--Reports Provided"). The Trustee is
required to keep a certified copy or duplicate original of the Trust Agreement
on file in its office available for inspection at all reasonable times during
the usual business hours by any Unitholder, together with a current list of the
Securities held in each Trust.
Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee or any successor trustee may resign
and be discharged of its responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement by
executing an instrument in writing and filing the same with the Sponsor. The
Trustee or successor trustee must mail a copy of the notice of resignation to
all Unitholders then of record, not less than 60 days before the date specified
in such notice when such resignation is to take effect. The Sponsor upon
receiving notice of such resignation is obligated to appoint a successor trustee
promptly. If, upon such resignation, no successor trustee has been appointed and
has accepted the appointment within 30 days after notification, the retiring
Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor. The Sponsor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee as
provided in the Trust Agreement at any time with or without cause. Notice of
such removal and appointment shall be mailed to each Unitholder by the Sponsor.
Upon execution of a written acceptance of such appointment by such successor
trustee, all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the original trustee
shall vest in the successor. The resignation or removal of a Trustee becomes
effective only when the successor trustee accepts its appointment as such or
when a court of competent jurisdiction appoints a successor trustee.
Any corporation into which a Trustee may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which a Trustee shall be a party, shall be the successor trustee. The Trustee
must be a banking corporation organized under the laws of the United States or
any state and having at all times an aggregate capital, surplus and undivided
profits of not less than $5,000,000.

Re: VAN KAMPEN AMERICAN CAPITAL EQUITY OPPORTUNITY TRUST, SERIES 100
----------------------------------------------------------------

Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Van Kampen American Capital Distributors,
Inc., Depositor of Van Kampen American Capital Equity Opportunity Trust, Series
100 (the "Fund"), in connection with the issuance of Units of fractional
undivided interest in the Fund, under a Trust Agreement dated May 19, 1998 (the
"Indenture") among Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc., as Depositor,
Van Kampen American Capital Investment Advisory Corp., as Evaluator, Van Kampen
American Capital Investment Advisory Corp., as Supervisory Servicer, and The
Bank of New York, as Trustee. The Fund is comprised of four unit investment
trusts, Internet Trust, Series 10, Telecommunications Trust, Series 2, Health
Care & Pharmaceuticals Trust, Series 2 and Utility Trust, Series 2 (each a
"Trust").

In this connection, we have examined the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, the Indenture, and such other instruments and documents as we have
deemed pertinent.

The assets of each Trust will consist of a portfolio of equity
securities (the "Securities") as set forth in the Prospectus. For the purposes
of the following discussion and opinion, it is assumed that each Security is
equity for federal income tax purposes.

Based upon the foregoing and upon an investigation of such matters of
law as we consider to be applicable, we are of the opinion that, under existing
United States Federal income tax law:

(i) Each Trust is not an association taxable as a corporation
for Federal income tax purposes but will be governed by the provisions
of subchapter J (relating to trusts) of chapter 1, Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code").

(ii) A Unitholder will be considered as owning a pro rata
share of each asset of a Trust in the proportion that the number of
Units held by him bears to the total number of Units outstanding. Under
subpart E, subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code, income of a Trust
will be treated as income of each Unitholder in the proportion
described, and an item of Trust income will have the same character in
the hands of a Unitholder as it would have in the hands of the Trustee.
Each Unitholder will be considered to have received his pro rata share
of income derived from each Trust asset when such income is considered
to be received by the Trust. A Unitholder's pro rata portion of
distributions of cash or property by a corporation with respect to a
Security ("dividends" as defined by Section 316 of the Code ) is
taxable as ordinary income to the extent of such corporation's current
and accumulated "earnings and profits." A Unitholder's pro rata portion
of dividends which exceed such current and accumulated earnings and
profits will first reduce the Unitholder's tax basis in such Security,
and to the extent that such dividends exceed a Unitholder's tax basis
in such Security, shall be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of
property.

(iii) The price a Unitholder pays for his Units, generally
including sales charges, is allocated among his pro rata portion of
each Security held by the Trust (in proportion to the fair market
values thereof on the valuation date closest to the date the Unitholder
purchases his Units), in order to determine his tax basis for his pro
rata portion of each Security held by a Trust.

(iv) Gain or loss will be recognized to a Unitholder (subject
to various nonrecognition provisions under the Code) upon redemption or
sale of his Units, except to the extent an in kind distribution of
stock is received by such Unitholder from a Trust as discussed below.
Such gain or loss is measured by comparing the proceeds of such
redemption or sale with the adjusted basis of his Units. Before
adjustment, such basis would normally be cost if the Unitholder had
acquired his Units by purchase. Such basis will be reduced, but not
below zero, by the Unitholder's pro rata portion of dividends with
respect to each Security which are not taxable as ordinary income.

(v) If the Trustee disposes of a Trust asset (whether by
sale, exchange, liquidation, redemption, payment on maturity or
otherwise) gain or loss will be recognized to the Unitholder (subject
to various nonrecognition provisions under the Code) and the amount
thereof will be measured by comparing the Unitholder's aliquot share of
the total proceeds from the transaction with his basis for his
fractional interest in the asset disposed of. Such basis is ascertained
by apportioning the tax basis for his Units (as of the date on which
his Units were acquired) among each of the Trust assets (as of the date
on which his Units were acquired) ratably according to their values as
of the valuation date nearest the date on which he purchased such
Units. A Unitholder's basis in his Units and of his fractional interest
in each Trust asset must be reduced, but not below zero, by the
Unitholder's pro rata portion of dividends with respect to each
Security which are not taxable as ordinary income.

(vi) Under the Indenture, under certain circumstances, a
Unitholder tendering Units for redemption may request an in kind
distribution of Securities upon the redemption of Units or upon the
termination of a Trust. As previously discussed, prior to the
redemption of Units or the termination of a Trust, a Unitholder is
considered as owning a pro rata portion of each of the particular
Trust's assets. The receipt of an in kind distribution will result in a
Unitholder receiving an undivided interest in whole shares of stock and
possibly cash. The potential federal income tax consequences which may
occur under an in kind distribution with respect to each Security owned
by a Trust will depend upon whether or not a Unitholder receives cash
in addition to Securities. A "Security" for this purpose is a
particular class of stock issued by a particular corporation. A
Unitholder will not recognize gain or loss if a Unitholder only
receives Securities in exchange for his or her pro rata portion of the
Securities held by a Trust. However, if a Unitholder also receives cash
in exchange for a fractional share of a Security held by a Trust, such
Unitholder will generally recognize gain or loss based upon the
difference between the amount of cash received by the Unitholder and
his tax basis in such fractional share of a Security held by a Trust.
The total amount of taxable gains (or losses) recognized upon such
redemption will generally equal the sum of the gain (or loss)
recognized under the rules described above by the redeeming Unitholder
with respect to each Security owned by a Trust.

A domestic corporation owning Units in a Trust may be eligible for the
70% dividends received deduction pursuant to Section 243(a) of the Code with
respect to such Unitholder's pro rata portion of dividends received by aa Trust
(to the extent such dividends are taxable as ordinary income and are
attributable to domestic corporations), subject to the limitations imposed by
Sections 246 and 246A of the Code.

To the extent dividends received by a Trust are attributable to foreign
corporations, a corporation that owns Units will not be entitled to the
dividends received deduction with respect to its pro rata portion of such
dividends, since the dividends received deduction is generally available only
with respect to dividends paid by domestic corporations.

Section 67 of the Code provides that certain itemized deductions, such
as investment expenses, tax return preparation fees and employee business
expenses will be deductible by individuals only to the extent they exceed 2% of
such individual's adjusted gross income. Unitholders may be required to treat
some or all of the expenses of a Trust as miscellaneous itemized deductions
subject to this limitation.

A Unitholder will recognize taxable gain (or loss) when all or part of
his pro rata interest in a Security is either sold by a Trust or redeemed or
when a Unitholder disposes of his Units in a taxable transaction, in each case
for an amount greater (or less) than his tax basis therefor, subject to various
non-recognition provisions of the Code.

It should be noted that payments to a Trust of dividends on Securities
that are attributable to foreign corporations may be subject to foreign
withholding taxes and Unitholders should consult their tax advisers regarding
the potential tax consequences relating to the payment of any such withholding
taxes by the Trust. Any dividends withheld as a result thereof will nevertheless
be treated as income to the Unitholders. Because under the grantor trust rules,
an investor is deemed to have paid directly his share of foreign taxes that have
been paid or accrued, if any, an investor my be entitled to a foreign tax credit
or deduction for United States tax purposes with respect to such taxes. A
required holding period is imposed for such credits.

Any gain or loss recognized on a sale or exchange will, under current
law, generally be capital gain or loss.

The scope of this opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth
herein, and, except as expressly set forth above, we express no opinion with
respect to any other taxes, including foreign, state or local taxes or
collateral tax consequences with respect to the purchase, ownership and
disposition of Units.

Very truly yours,

CHAPMAN AND CUTLER

Van Kampen American Capital Equity
Opportunity Trust, Series 100
c/o The Bank of New York, As Trustee
101 Barclay Street, 17 West
New York, New York 10286

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as special counsel for the Van Kampen American Capital
Equity Opportunity Trust, Series 100 (the "Fund") consisting of Internet Trust,
Series 10, Telecommunications Trust, Series 2, Health Care & Pharmaceuticals
Trust, Series 2, Utility Trust, Series 2 (individually a "Trust" and, in the
aggregate, the "Trusts") for purposes of determining the applicability of
certain New York taxes under the circumstances hereinafter described.

The Fund is created pursuant to a Trust Agreement (the "Indenture"),
dated as of today (the "Date of Deposit") among Van Kampen American Capital
Distributors, Inc. (the "Depositor"), American Portfolio Evaluation Services, a
division of an affiliate of the Depositor, as Evaluator, Van Kampen American
Capital Investment Advisory Corp., an affiliate of the Depositor, as Supervisory
Servicer (the "Supervisory Servicer"), and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). As described in the prospectus relating to the Fund dated today to
be filed as an amendment to a registration statement heretofore filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Prospectus") (File Number 333-51227), the objectives of the Fund are to
provide the potential for dividend income and capital appreciation through
investment in a fixed portfolio of actively traded equity securities of
companies engaged in, providing services to companies in, the industry
identified in Trust's name, or are the type of securities identified in the name
of the Trust. It is noted that no opinion is expressed herein with regard to the
Federal tax aspects of the securities, the Trusts, units of the Trusts (the
"Units"), or any income, gains or losses in respect thereof.

As more fully set forth in the Indenture and in the Prospectus, the
activities of the Trustee will include the following:

On the Date of Deposit, the Depositor will deposit with the Trustee
with respect to the Trust the securities and/or contracts and cash for the
purchase thereof together with an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount
required for the purchase price of the securities comprising the corpus of the
Trust as more fully set forth in the Prospectus.

The Trustee did not participate in the selection of the securities to
be deposited in the Trust, and, upon the receipt thereof, will deliver to the
Depositor a registered certificate for the number of Units representing the
entire capital of the Trusts as more fully set forth in the Prospectus. The
Units, which are represented by certificates ("Certificates"), will be offered
to the public upon the effectiveness of the registration statement.

The duties of the Trustee, which are ministerial in nature, will
consist primarily of crediting the appropriate accounts with cash dividends
received by the Fund and with the proceeds from the disposition of securities
held in the Fund and the proceeds of the treasury obligation on maturity and the
distribution of such cash dividends and proceeds to the Unit holders. The
Trustee will also maintain records of the registered holders of Certificates
representing an interest in the Fund and administer the redemption of Units by
such Certificate holders and may perform certain administrative functions with
respect to an automatic reinvestment option.

Generally, equity securities held in the Trust may be removed therefrom
by the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor upon the occurrence of certain
specified events which adversely affect the sound investment character of the
Fund, such as default by the issuer in payment of declared dividends or of
interest or principal on one or more of its debt obligations.

Prior to the termination of the Fund, the Trustee is empowered to sell
equity securities designated by the Supervisory Servicer only for the purpose of
redeeming Units tendered to it and of paying expenses for which funds are not
available. The Trustee does not have the power to vary the investment of any
Unit holder in the Fund, and under no circumstances may the proceeds of sale of
any equity securities held by the Fund be used to purchase new equity securities
to be held therein.

Article 9-A of the New York Tax Law imposes a franchise tax on business
corporations, and, for purposes of that Article, Section 208(l) defines the term
"corporation" to include, among other things, "any business conducted by a
trustee or trustees wherein interest or ownership is evidenced by certificate or
other written instrument."

The Regulations promulgated under Section 208 provide as follows:

A business conducted by a trustee or trustees in which
interest or ownership is evidenced by certificate or other
written instrument includes, but is not limited to, an
association commonly referred to as a "business trust" or
"Massachusetts trust". In determining whether a trustee or
trustees are conducting a business, the form of the agreement
is of significance but is not controlling. The actual
activities of the trustee or trustees, not their purposes and
powers, will be regarded as decisive factors in determining
whether a trust is subject to tax under Article 9-A. The mere
investment of funds and the collection of income therefrom,
with incidental replacement of securities and reinvestment of
funds, does not constitute the conduct of a business in the
case of a business conducted by a trustee or trustees. 20
NYCRR 1-2.5(b)(2) (July 11, 1990).

New York cases dealing with the question of whether a trust will be
subject to the franchise tax have also delineated the general rule that where a
trustee merely invests funds and collects and distributes the income therefrom,
the trust is not engaged in business and is not subject to the franchise tax.
BURRELL V. LYNCH, 274 A.D. 347, 84 N.Y.S.2d 171 (3rd Dept. 1948), ORDER
RESETTLED, 274 A.D. 1083, 85 N.Y.S.2d 705 (3rd Dept. 1949).

In an Opinion of the Attorney General of the State of New York, 47 N.Y.
Att'y. Gen. Rep. 213 (Nov. 24, 1942), it was held that where the trustee of an
unincorporated investment trust was without authority to reinvest amounts
received upon the sales of securities and could dispose of securities making up
the trust only upon the happening of certain specified events or the existence
of certain specified conditions, the trust was not subject to the franchise tax.

In the instant situation, the Trustee is not empowered to, and we
assume will not, sell equity securities contained in the corpus of the Fund and
reinvest the proceeds therefrom. Further, the power to sell such equity
securities is limited to circumstances in which the credit-worthiness or
soundness of the issuer of such equity security is in question or in which cash
is needed to pay redeeming Unit holders or to pay expenses, or where the Fund is
liquidated subsequent to the termination of the Indenture. In substance, the
Trustee will merely collect and distribute income and will not reinvest any
income or proceeds, and the Trustee has no power to vary the investment of any
Unit holder in the Fund.

Under Subpart E of Part I, Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the grantor of a trust will be
deemed to be the owner of the trust under certain circumstances, and therefore
taxable on his proportionate interest in the income thereof. Where this Federal
tax rule applies, the income attributed to the grantor will also be income to
him for New York income tax purposes. See TSB-M-78(9)(c), New York Department of
Taxation and Finance, June 23, 1978.

By letter dated today, Messrs. Chapman and Cutler, counsel for the
Depositor, rendered their opinion that each Unit holder will be considered as
owning a share of each asset of the Trust in the proportion that the number of
Units held by such holder bears to the total number of Units outstanding and the
income of a Trust will be treated as the income of each Unit holder in said
proportion pursuant to Subpart E of Part I, Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of the
Code.

Based on the foregoing and on the opinion of Messrs. Chapman and
Cutler, counsel for the Depositor, dated today, upon which we specifically rely,
we are of the opinion that under existing laws, rulings, and court decisions
interpreting the laws of the State and City of New York:

1. Each of the Trusts will not constitute an association
taxable as a corporation under New York law, and, accordingly, will not
be subject to tax on its income under the New York State franchise tax
or the New York City general corporation tax.

2. The income of the Trusts will be treated as the income
of the Unit holders under the income tax laws of the
State and City of New York.

3. Unit holders who are not residents of the State of New
York are not subject to the income tax laws thereof with respect to any
interest or gain derived from the Fund or any gain from the sale or
other disposition of the Units, except to the extent that such interest
or gain is from property employed in a business, trade, profession or
occupation carried on in the State of New York.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement relating to the Units and to the use of our name and the
reference to our firm in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus.

Very truly yours,

WINSTON & STRAWN
