     the Prospectus or, if no Account is therein specified,
     from the Principal Account, and pay to the Depositor the
     Depositor's reimbursable expenses of organizing the Trust
     and sale of the Trust Units in an amount certified to the
     Trustee by the Depositor.  If the balance of the Principal
     Account is insufficient to make such withdrawal, the Trus-
     tee shall, as directed by the Depositor, sell Securities
     identified by the Depositor, or distribute to the Deposi-
     tor Securities having a value, as determined under Section
     4.01 as of the date of distribution, sufficient for such
     reimbursement.  The reimbursement provided for in this
     Section shall be for the account of the Unitholders of re-
     cord at the conclusion of the primary offering period and
     shall not be reflected in the computation of the Unit
     Value prior thereto.  As used herein, the Depositor's re-
     imbursable expenses of organizing the Trust and sale of
     the Trust Units shall include the cost of the initial
     preparation and typesetting of the registration statement,
     prospectuses (including preliminary prospectuses), the in-
     denture, and other documents relating to the Trust, SEC
     and state blue sky registration fees, the cost of the ini-
     tial valuation of the portfolio and audit of the Trust,
     the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee, and legal
     and other out-of-pocket expenses related thereto, but not
     including the expenses incurred in the printing of pre-
     liminary prospectuses and prospectuses, expenses incurred
     in the preparation and printing of brochures and other ad-
     vertising materials and any other selling expenses.  Any

     cash which the Depositor has identified as to be used for
     reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section shall
     be reserved by the Trustee for such purpose and shall not
     be subject to distribution or, unless the Depositor other-
     wise directs, used for payment of redemptions in excess of
     the per-Unit amount allocable to Units tendered for re-
     demption.

          E.   The third through fifth paragraphs of Sec-
     tion 3.05 shall be amended to provide as follows:

          On each Distribution Date or within a reasonable pe-
     riod of time thereafter, the Trustee shall distribute by
     mail to each Unit Holder of record at the close of busi-
     ness on the preceding Record Date at his address appearing
     on the registration books of the Trustee such Unit
     Holder's income distribution, computed as hereinafter pro-
     vided, plus such holder's pro rata share of the cash bal-
     ance of the Principal Account, each computed as of the
     preceding Record Date; provided, however, that funds cred-
     ited to the Principal Account in the event of the failure
     of consummation of a contract to purchase Securities pur-
     suant to Section 2.01 hereof, funds representing the pro-
     ceeds of the sale of Securities pursuant to Section 3.08
     hereof, and funds representing the proceeds of the sale of
     Securities under Sections 5.02 or 6.04 in excess of the
     amounts needed for the purposes of said Sections shall not
     be distributed until the next Distribution Date or at such
     earlier date as shall be determined by the Trustee.  The
     Trustee shall not be required to make a distribution from
     the Principal Amount unless the cash balance on deposit
     therein available for distribution shall be sufficient to
     distribute at least $1.00 per Unit in the case of Units
     initially offered at approximately $1,000 or a proportion-
     ately lower amount in the case of Units initially offered
     at less that $1,000 (e.g. $.001 per Unit in the case of
     Units initially offered at approximately $1.00).

          The Trustee shall, as of each Record Date, compute
     and report to the Depositor the per-Unit amount of the
     monthly income distribution to be made on the next follow-
     ing Distribution Date (the "Monthly Income Distribution")
     by (i) estimating the annual income of the Trust for the
     ensuing twelve months (by reference to the most recent
     distributions made on Securities and any information re-
     ceived by the Trustee with respect to future dividends or
     other income), (ii) deducting therefrom the estimated
     costs and expenses to be incurred during the twelve-month

<PAGE>






                              -4-



     period for which such income has been estimated and
     (iii) dividing the amount so obtained by the result of 12
     multiplied by the number of Units outstanding on such Rec-
     ord Date.  However, unless the Trustee or the Sponsor de-
     termines that the Monthly Income Distribution should be
     adjusted as provided hereafter, the amount of the Monthly
     Income Distribution shall be the amount computed by the
     Trustee on the most recent prior, or concurrently occur-
     ring, Quarterly Computation Date (such "Quarterly Computa-
     tion Date" being the first Record Date and each Record
     Date occurring at three-month intervals thereafter).  The
     Trustee will adjust the amount of the Monthly Income Dis-
     tribution computed on each Quarterly Computation Date to
     reconcile, over the ensuing three Monthly Income Distribu-
     tions, any variance between net income and distributions
     made during the preceding three months.  Notwithstanding
     the preceding, the Trustee may reduce the amount of any
     Monthly Income Distribution in the event the Trustee or
     the Sponsor determines that such adjustment is necessary
     to avoid, or to respond to, a significant discrepancy be-
     tween estimated and actual net income. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, the Trustee may adjust the amount of the
     Monthly Income Distribution in order to maintain an aver-
     age annual cash balance in the Income Account of $0.

          In the event the amount on deposit in the Income Ac-
     count of the Trust on a Distribution Date is not suffi-
     cient for the payment of the amount of income to be dis-
     tributed on the basis of the aforesaid computation, the
     Trustee shall advance out of its own funds and cause to be
     deposited in and credited to the Income Account such
     amount as may be required to permit payment of the income
     distribution to be made on such Distribution Date and
     shall be entitled to be reimbursed, without interest, out
     of the income subsequently received on the first Record
     Date following the date of such advance on which such re-
     imbursement may be made without reducing the cash balance
     of the Income Account to an amount less than that required
     for the next ensuing distribution.  The Trustee shall be
     deemed to be the beneficial owner of the dividends or
     other income received by the Trust to the extent of all
     amounts advanced by it pursuant to this paragraph, and
     such advances shall be considered a lien on the Trust
     prior to the interest of Unit Holders.

          The amounts to be distributed to each Unit Holder
     shall be that per-Unit income distribution and pro rata
     share of the cash balance of the Principal Account of the
     Trust, computed as hereinabove provided, as shall be rep-

                              -5-



     resented by the Units owned by such Unit Holder as evi-
     denced by the record books of the Trustee as of the appli-
     cable Record Date.

          In computing the distribution to be made to any Unit
     Holder, fractions of one cent shall be omitted.  After any
     such distribution, any cash balance remaining in the In-
     come Account or the Principal Account shall be held in the
     same manner as other amounts subsequently deposited in
     each of such Accounts, respectively.

                              II.
