          or time deposits of smaller domestic banks may be held provided the
          deposit does not exceed the insurance coverage on the instrument

          aggregate holding of certificates of deposit or time deposits issued
          by the Trustee may not exceed the insurance coverage of such
          obligations and U.S. Treasury notes or bills (which shall be held
          until the maturity thereof) each of which matures prior to the
          earlier of the next following Distribution Date or 90 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

          Distribution Date."

               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, reorganiza-
          tion, spin-off, split-off or split-up by the issuer of stock or
          securities held in the Trust, the Trustee at the direction of the
          Depositor may retain such stock or securities in the Trust.  Neither
          the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable to any person for any
          action or failure to take action with respect to this section.

               G.   Section 1.01 is amended to add the following definition:
          (9) "Deferred Sales Charge" shall mean any deferred sales charge
          payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.14 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 3.14 the amount of
          the Deferred Sales Charge payable on each such date as stated in the
          prospectus for a Trust.  Such amount shall be withdrawn from the
          Principal Account from the amounts therein designated for such
          purpose.

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

               J.   Section 3.08 shall be amended by adding the following at
          the end thereof:  "In order to pay the Deferred Sales Charge, the
          Trustee shall sell or liquidate an amount of Securities at such time
          and from time to time and in such manner as the Depositor shall
          direct such that the proceeds of such sale or liquidation shall equal
          the amount required to be paid to the Depositor pursuant to the
          Deferred Sales Charge program as set forth in the prospectus for a
          Trust.

                              -4-


                     K.  Section 3.14 shall be added as follows:

               Section 3.14.  Deferred Sales Charge.  If the prospectus for a
          Trust specifies a Deferred Sales Charge, the Trustee shall, on the
          dates specified in and as permitted by the prospectus, withdraw from
          the Income Account if such account is designated in the prospectus as
          the source of the payments of the Deferred Sales Charge, or to the
          extent funds are not available in that account or if such account is
          not so designated, from the Principal Account, an amount per Unit
          specified in the prospectus and credit such amount to a special, non-
          Trust account maintained at the Trustee out of which the Deferred
          Sales Charge will be distributed to the Depositor.  If the Income
          Account is not designated as the source of the Deferred Sales Charge
          payment or if the balances in the Income and Principal Accounts are
          insufficient to make any such withdrawal, the Trustee shall, as
          directed by the Depositor, either advance funds, if so agreed to by
          the Trustee, in an amount equal to the proposed withdrawal and be
          entitled to reimbursement of such advance upon the deposit of
          additional monies in the Income Account or the Principal Account,
          sell Securities and credit the proceeds thereof to such special
          Depositor's account or credit Securities in kind to such special
          Depositor's Account.  Such directions shall identify the Securities,
          if any, to be sold or distributed in kind and shall contain, if the
          Trustee is directed by the Depositor to sell a Security, instructions
          as to execution of such sales.  If a Unit Holder redeems Units prior
          to full payment of the Deferred Sales Charge, the Trustee shall, if
          so provided in the prospectus, on the Redemption Date, withhold from
          the Redemption Price payment to such Unit Holder an amount equal to
          the unpaid portion of the Deferred Sales Charge and distribute such
          amount to such special Depositor's account or, if the Depositor shall
          purchase such Unit pursuant to the terms of Section 5.02 hereof, the
          Depositor shall pay the Redemption Price for such Unit less the
          unpaid portion of the Deferred Sales Charge.  The Depositor may at
          any time instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Depositor cash or
          Securities previously credited to the special Depositor's account.

               L.   The following new Section 3.15 is added:

               Section 3.15.  Foreign Exchange Transactions; Reclaiming Foreign
          Taxes.  (a) For any Trust holding Securities denominated in a         
          currency other than U.S. dollars, the Depositor shall direct the
          Trustee with respect to the circumstances under which foreign         
          exchange transactions are to be entered into and calculations under
          this Indenture are to be made, in order to convert amounts receivable
          in respect of the Securities in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars.

                                   -5-


               (b)  The Trustee shall take such action as the Sponsor shall
          direct or, if not so directed, use reasonable efforts to reclaim or
          recoup any amounts of non-U.S. tax paid by the Trust or withheld from
          Income received by the Trust to which the Trust may be entitled as a
          refund.

               M.   The following paragraphs are inserted after the first
          paragraph in Section 4.01:

               "With respect to foreign securities, each security listed on
               a securities exchange will be valued at the last closing
               sale price on the relevant stock exchange or if no such
               price exists at the closing offer price thereof.

               If the Trust holds securities denominated in a currency
               other than U.S. dollars, the evaluations shall be converted
               to U.S. dollars based, during the initial offering period,
               on the offering side of the relevant currency exchange rate,
               and subsequent to such period, on the bid side of the
               relevant exchange rate, including the cost of a forward
               foreign exchange contract in the relevant currency to
               correspond to the Trustee's settlement requirement for
               redemption requests as quoted to the Trustee by one or more
               banks designated by the Depositor, unless the Security is in
               the form of an American depository share or receipt, in
               which case the evaluations shall be based upon the U.S.
               dollar prices in the market for American depository shares
               or receipts (unless the Trustee deems such prices
               inappropriate as a basis for valuation)."

                                         II.
