               cates, Indenture, Registration Statement and other

     tence thereof:  "Depositor may direct the Trustee to invest

     redemption of Units in eligible money market instruments
     selected by the Depositor which will include only negotiable
     certificates of deposit or time deposits of domestic banks
     which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora-
     tion and which have, together with their branches or subsid-
     iaries, more than $2 billion in total assets, except that
     certificates of deposit or time deposits of smaller domestic
     banks may be held provided the deposit does not exceed the
     insurance coverage on the instrument (which currently is
     $100,000), and provided further that the Trust's aggregate
     holding of certificates of deposit or time deposits issued by
     the Trustee may not exceed the insurance coverage of such

     held until the maturity thereof) each of which matures prior
     to the earlier of the next following Distribution Date or 90
     days after receipt, the principal thereof and interest
     thereon (to the extent such interest is not used to pay Trust
     expenses) to be distributed on the earlier of the 90th day
     after receipt or the next following Distribution Date."

     and 3.12 is amended to insert the following language at the


     
<PAGE>

     beginning of such sentence, "Except as otherwise provided in
     Section 3.13,".

          F.   The following new Section 3.13 is added:

          Section 3.13.  Extraordinary Event - Security Retention
     and Voting.  In the event the Trustee is notified of any
     action to be taken or proposed to be taken by holders of the
     securities held by the Trust in connection with any proposed
     merger, reorganization, spin-off, split-off or split-up by
     the issuer of stock or securities held in the Trust, the
     Trustee shall take such action or refrain from taking any
     action, as appropriate,  so as to insure that the securities
     are voted as closely as possible in the same manner and in
     the same general proportion as are the securities held by
     owners other than the Trust.  If stock or securities are
     received by the Trustee, with or without cash, as a result of
     any merger, reorganization, spin-off, split-off or split-up
     by the issuer of stock or securities held in the Trust, the
     Trustee at the direction of the Depositor may retain such
     stock or securities in the Trust.  Neither the Depositor nor
     the Trustee shall be liable to any person for any action or
     failure to take action with respect to this section.

          G.   Section 1.01 is amended to add the following defi-
     nition:  (9) "Deferred Sales Charge" shall mean any deferred
     sales charge payable in accordance with the provisions of
     Section 3.12 hereof, as set forth in the prospectus for a
     Trust.  Definitions following this definition (9) shall be
     renumbered.

          H.   Section 3.05 is hereby amended to add the following
     paragraph after the end thereof:  On each Deferred Sales
     Charge payment date set forth in the prospectus for a Trust,
     the Trustee shall pay the account created pursuant to Section
     3.12 the amount of the Deferred Sales Charge payable on each
     such date as stated in the prospectus for a Trust.  Such
     amount shall be withdrawn from the Principal Account from the
     amounts therein designated for such purpose.

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

          J.   Section 3.08 shall be amended by adding the follow-
     ing at the end thereof:  "In order to pay the Deferred Sales
     Charge, the Trustee shall sell or liquidate an amount of
     Securities at such time and from time to time and in such
     manner as the Depositor shall direct such that the proceeds
     of such sale or liquidation shall equal the amount required



     
<PAGE>

     to be paid to the Depositor pursuant to the Deferred Sales
     Charge program as set forth in the prospectus for a Trust.

          K.   Section 3.12 shall be added as follows:

          Section 3.12.  Deferred Sales Charge.  If the prospectus
     for a Trust specifies a Deferred Sales Charge, the Trustee
     shall, on the dates specified in and as permitted by the pro-
     spectus, withdraw from the Income Account if such account is
     designated in the prospectus as the source of the payments of
     the Deferred Sales Charge, or to the extent funds are not
     available in that account or if such account is not so desig-
     nated, from the Principal Account, an amount per Unit speci-
     fied in the prospectus and credit such amount to a special,
     non-Trust account maintained at the Trustee out of which the
     Deferred Sales Charge will be distributed to the Depositor.
     If the Income Account is not designated as the source of the
     Deferred Sales Charge payment or if the balances in the
     Income and Principal Accounts are insufficient to make any
     such withdrawal, the Trustee shall, as directed by the Depos-
     itor, either advance funds, if so agreed to by the Trustee,
     in an amount equal to the proposed withdrawal and be entitled
     to reimbursement of such advance upon the deposit of addi-
     tional monies in the Income Account or the Principal Account,
     sell Securities and credit the proceeds thereof to such spe-
     cial Depositor's account or credit Securities in kind to such

     the prospectus, on the Redemption Date, withhold from the
     Redemption Price payment to such Unit Holder an amount equal
     to the unpaid portion of the Deferred Sales Charge and dis-
     tribute such amount to such special Depositor's account or,
     if the Depositor shall purchase such Unit pursuant to the
     terms of Section 5.02 hereof, the Depositor shall pay the
     Redemption Price for such Unit less the unpaid portion of the
     Deferred Sales Charge.  The Depositor may at any time
     instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Depositor cash or
     Securities previously credited to the special Depositor's
     account.
