     strument (which currently is $100,000), and provided fur-
     ther that the Trust's aggregate holding of certificates of
     deposit or time deposits issued by the Trustee may not ex-

     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 De-
     positor 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 pro-
     visions of Section 3.12 hereof, as set forth in the pro-
     spectus for a Trust.  Definitions following this defini-
     tion (9) shall be renumbered.

          H.   Section 3.05 is hereby amended to add the fol-
     lowing 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 pursu-
     ant to Section 3.12 the amount of the Deferred Sales
     Charge payable on each such date as stated in the prospec-
     tus for a Trust.  Such amount shall be withdrawn from the
     Principal Account from the amounts therein designated for
     such purpose.

<PAGE>

          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 fol-
     lowing 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 pro-
     spectus for a Trust.

          K.   Section 3.12 shall be added as follows:

          Section 3.12.  Deferred Sales Charge.  If the pro-
     spectus 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 Ac-
     counts are insufficient to make any such withdrawal, the
     Trustee shall, as directed by the Depositor, either ad-
     vance funds, if so agreed to by the Trustee, in an amount
     equal to the proposed withdrawal and be entitled to reim-
     bursement 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 dis-
     tributed in kind and shall contain, if the Trustee is di-
     rected 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 De-

<PAGE>

     positor shall purchase such Unit pursuant to the terms of
     Section 5.02 hereof, the Depositor shall pay the Redemp-
     tion Price for such Unit less the unpaid portion of the
     Deferred Sales Charge.  The Depositor may at any time in-
     struct the  Trustee to distribute to the Depositor cash or
     Securities previously credited to the special Depositor's
     account.

                              II.
