forth certain provisions in full and incorporates other provisions by reference
to the document entitled "Sears Equity Investment Trust, Trust Indenture and
Agreement" dated January 22, 1991, as amended on March 16, 1993 and July 18,
1995 (the "Basic Agreement"). Such provisions as are incorporated by reference
constitute a single instrument (the "Indenture").

                                WITNESSETH THAT:

            In consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements
herein contained, the Depositor and the Trustee agree as follows:

                                       I.

                     STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRUST

            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:

            A.   Article I, Section 1.01, paragraph (29) defining "Trustee"
     shall be amended as follows:

            "'Trustee'" shall mean The Chase Manhattan Bank, or any successor
            trustee appointed as hereinafter provided."

     Basic Agreement.

             C.   Reference to "Dean Witter Select Equity Trust" is replaced by

<PAGE>

            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
     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 Trustee shall, as directed by the
     Depositor, sell Securities identified by the Depositor, or distribute to
     the Depositor 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 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 blue sky registration fees, the cost
     of the initial 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 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.
