          Subject to the provisions of Part II hereof, all the provisions
contained in the Basic Agreement are herein incorporated by reference in their
entirety and shall be deemed to be a part of this instrument as fully and to the
same extent as though said provisions had been set forth in full in this
instrument except that the Basic Agreement is hereby amended in the following
manner:

               SECTION 3.01. INITIAL COST The costs of organizing the Trust and
          sale of the Trust Units shall, to the extent of the expenses
          reimbursable to the Depositor provided below, be borne by the Unit
          Holders, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, to the extent all of such costs are
          not borne by Unit Holders, the amount of such costs not borne by Unit
          Holders shall be borne by the Depositor and, PROVIDED FURTHER,
          HOWEVER, that the liability on the part of the Depositor under this
          section shall not include any fees or other expenses incurred in
          connection with the administration of the Trust subsequent to the
          deposit referred to in Section 2.01. Upon notification from the
          Depositor that the primary offering period is concluded, the Trustee
          shall withdraw from the Account or Accounts specified in the
          Prospectus or, if no Account is therein specified, from the Principal

          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

          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 record 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 reimbursable 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
          indenture, and other documents relating to the Trust, SEC and state

          Trustee, and legal and other out-of-pocket expenses related thereto,
          but not including the expenses incurred in the printing of preliminary
          prospectuses and prospectuses, expenses incurred in the preparation
          and printing of brochures and other advertising 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 otherwise directs,
          used for payment of redemptions in excess of the per-Unit amount
          allocable to Units tendered for redemption.
