         WHEREAS,  pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Amended and  Restated  Limited
Liability Company Agreement dated as of December 11, 2000 (the "Agreement"),  of
FT Defined Portfolios LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"),
the Sole Trustee of the Company,  this 11th day of December,  2000,  establishes
and designates two series of Membership  Interests (as defined in the Agreement)
(each, a "Fund") to have the special and relative rights described below;

         NOW THEREFORE,  the Sole Trustee of the Company,  hereby determines the
following:

          1.    The following Funds are established and designated:

                      Nasdaq Target 15 Portfolio
                      First Trust 10 Uncommon Values Portfolio

          2. Each Fund shall be authorized to hold cash,  invest in  securities,
instruments  and other  property and use  investment  techniques as from time to
time approved by the Trustees and  thereafter  described in the  Company's  then
currently effective  registration  statement under the Securities Act of 1933 to
the extent  pertaining  to the offering of  Membership  Interests of such Funds.
Each Membership Interest of each Fund shall be redeemable,  shall be entitled to
one vote (or fraction  thereof in respect of a  fractional  share) on matters on
which the Member,  in its capacity as the holder of the Membership  Interests of
that Fund, may vote in accordance with the Agreement, shall represent a pro rata
beneficial interest in the assets allocated or belonging to such Fund, and shall
be  entitled  to receive  its pro rata share of the net assets of such Fund upon
liquidation of such Fund, all as provided in the Agreement,  including,  without
limitation,  Article IV, Sections 4.2 and 4.5 thereof.  The proceeds of the sale
of Membership Interests of each Fund, together with any income and gain thereon,
less any diminution or expenses thereof,  shall irrevocably belong to such Fund,
unless otherwise required by law.

          3.  The  Member,  in its  capacity  as the  holder  of the  Membership
Interests of each Fund, shall vote Membership  Interests of each Fund separately
as a class on any matter to the  extent  required  by,  and any matter  shall be
deemed to have been effectively acted upon with respect to such Fund as provided
in, Rule 18f-2, as from time to time in effect, under the Investment Company Act
of 1940,  as amended  (the  "1940  Act"),  or any  successor  rules,  and by the
Agreement.

          4. The assets and  liabilities of the Company shall be allocated among
each Fund and any other series of Membership  Interests  that may be established
from time to time as set forth in Article IV, Section 4.5 of the Agreement.

          5. The  designation  of each Fund hereby shall not impair the power of
the  Board of  Trustees  from  time to time to  designate  additional  series of
Membership  Interests  of the  Company,  including  those  that may be senior to
existing series.

          6.  Subject  to the  applicable  provisions  of the  1940  Act and the
provisions of Article IV,  Sections 4.2 and 4.5 of the  Agreement,  the Board of
Trustees  shall  have the right at any time and from time to time to  reallocate
assets and expenses or to change the  designation  of each Fund now or hereafter
created,  or to  otherwise  change  the  special  relative  rights  of each Fund
designated hereby without any action or consent of the Member.


         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned,  being the Sole Trustee and Member
of the Company,  has executed  this  instrument as of this 11th day of December,
2000.

                                                          /s/ James A. Bowen

                                                              Sole Trustee
