               ----------------                                            
"Stable Asset Return Fund" (the "Fund").

          2.   Investment Objective.  The investment objective of the Fund is to
               --------------------                                             
provide current income consistent with preserving principal and maintaining
liquidity.

          3.   Investment Guidelines and Restrictions.  The assets of the Fund
               --------------------------------------                         
shall be normally invested and reinvested in (a) obligations of the United
States and the agencies and instrumentalities thereof ("United States
Obligations") and in other high quality instruments, including, but not limited
to, notes, bonds and similar debt instruments of corporations, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit and time deposits, bankers' acceptances, supranational
and sovereign debt obligations (including obligations of foreign government sub-
divisions), asset-backed securities (other than collateralized mortgage
obligations or other mortgage-backed securities), master notes and promissory
notes, funding agreements, variable and indexed interest notes and repurchase
agreements (collectively, "Short-term Investment Products"); 
<PAGE>
 
and (b) investment contracts or "Synthetic GICs" (as defined below) issued by
insurance companies, banks or other financial institutions (collectively,
"Investment Contracts"). For this purpose, "Synthetic GICs" means arrangements
comprised of an investment in one or more securities and a contract issued by an
insurance company, bank or other financial institution that provides for the
return of principal and an agreed upon rate of interest. All such Investment
Contracts and Synthetic GICs shall be benefit responsive (i.e., responsive to
withdrawal, transfer and benefit payment requests at book or face value and
shall satisfy any other conditions as may be required so that each such contract
can be accounted for and valued at book or face value under generally accepted
accounting principles). The underlying securities of Synthetic GICs shall
generally consist of fixed-income debt instruments.

          The Fund may invest in United States Obligations and Short-Term
Investment Products, so long as the average weighted duration of all such
investments does not exceed 120 days.  The average weighted maturity of the
United States Obligations, the Short-Term Investment Products and the Investment
Contracts shall not exceed 18 months.

          All of the investments by the Fund may be made through collective
investment funds maintained by State Street, so long as such collective
investment funds comply with the investment guidelines and restrictions
described herein.

          It is the intention of the Trustee not to cause the Fund to invest in
derivative securities, except to the extent set forth in the Prospectus of the
Collective Trust from time to time in effect pursuant to which the Units of the
Fund may be issued.  The Trustee, subject to consultation with ABRA, may in the
future review such investment policy.

          Investments in Short-Term Investment Products, other than United
States Obligations, at the time of purchase (a) must be rated or issued by
issuers that rated in either of the two highest rating categories applicable to
bonds by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("NRSROs"), at least one of which must be Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), (b) must be rated or
issued by issuers that rated in the highest rating category applicable to
commercial paper by at least two NRSROs, at least one of which must be Moody's
or S&P, or (c) if unrated, must be issued or guaranteed by an issuer that has
other comparable outstanding instruments that are so rated or is itself rated in
either of the two highest rating categories by at least two NRSROs, at least
one of which must be Moody's or S&P. For purposes of this restriction, an
investment in a repurchase agreement will be considered to be an investment in
the securities that are subject to the repurchase agreement.
<PAGE>
 
          The Stable Asset Return Fund will not invest in any Investment
Contract, unless, at the time of purchase, the Investment Contract or issuer is
rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least two NRSROs, at
least one of which must be S&P or Moody's.

          Except for Investment Contracts and United States Obligations, the
Trustee shall not invest, either directly or indirectly through one or more
collective investment funds, more than 5% of the assets of the Fund in
securities of a single issuer, determined at the time of purchase. Other than
Investment Contracts, the Trustee shall not, either directly or indirectly
through one or more collective investment funds, invest more than 10% of the
assets of the Fund in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements with
maturities of greater than 7 days or portfolio securities that are not readily
marketable or redeemable, in each case determined at the time of purchase.  The
proportion of the assets of the Fund invested, either directly or indirectly
through one or more collective investment funds, in Investment Contracts of any
one insurance company, bank or financial institution will generally not be
greater than 15% of the aggregate value of Investment Contracts included in the
Fund's portfolio, and in no event greater than 20%, in each case determined at
the time of purchase.

          4.   Transfers.  A Participating Trust may request withdrawal of any
               ---------                                                      
number of Units from the Fund on any Business Day; provided, however, the
Trustee may limit or suspend certain or all withdrawal and transfer rights when
the amount of liquid assets held by the Fund are insufficient in the judgment of
the Trustee to satisfy all required withdrawal and transfer requests.

          5.   Trustee, Management and Administrative Fees. For services
               -------------------------------------------              
rendered as trustee of the Fund, the Trustee will be entitled to receive
compensation in the amount and at the time set forth in Schedule A attached
hereto.

          6.   Conflicts.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
               ---------                                                       
document and the Declaration of Trust, the Declaration of Trust shall control
unless the Declaration of Trust specifically permits the Trustee to vary the
particular provision set forth therein.

                 AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION MEMBERS/STATE STREET
                               COLLECTIVE TRUST

                 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED FUND DECLARATION

                            INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND


          Pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 7.01 of the Declaration of Trust, dated
December 5, 1991, as amended as of July 31, 1995 and as further amended as of
the date hereof, which authorizes State Street Bank and Trust Company as trustee
("State Street" or the "Trustee") of the American Bar Association Members/State
Street Collective Trust (the "Collective Trust") to amend the Fund Declarations
of the investment funds established under the Collective Trust, effective as of
January 1, 1999 State Street hereby amends and restates the Fund Declaration
dated April 12, 1996 of the Intermediate Bond Fund, an investment fund
established under the Collective Trust (the "Fund").  The provisions of the
Declaration of Trust are incorporated herein by reference.  In addition, the
Trustee agrees and declares that it will hold, administer and deal with all
money and property received or purchased by it as Trustee of the Collective
Trust on behalf of the Fund subject to the additional terms and conditions set
forth in this Fund Declaration.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Declaration of Trust.

          1.   Investment Objective.  The primary investment objective of the
               --------------------                                          
Fund is to achieve a total return from current income and capital appreciation
by investing in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities.  A portion
of the assets of the Fund, approximately 2/3 (but subject to variations based on
the performance of this portion of the Fund), will be actively managed,
investing in debt securities with a portfolio duration generally from 3 to 6
years.  The actively managed portion will seek to achieve, over an extended
period of time, total returns comparable or superior to broad measures of the
domestic bond market.  The remaining portion of the assets of the Fund,
approximately 1/3 (but subject to variations based on the performance of this
portion of the Fund), the index portion, will seek to replicate the Lehman
Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index (the "LB Bond Index").

          2.   Investment Guidelines and Restrictions.  The actively managed
               --------------------------------------                       
portion of the Fund will be invested and reinvested primarily in obligations of
the U.S. government and the agencies and instrumentalities thereof ("U.S.
Government Obligations"); corporate debt securities; corporate commercial paper;
mortgage and other asset-backed securities; variable and floating rate debt
securities; bank certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers'
acceptances; repurchase 
<PAGE>
 
agreements; obligations of foreign governments or their subdivisions, agencies
and instrumentalities and international agencies or supranational entities; and
foreign currency denominated securities (subject to a 20% limitation). The index
portion of the Fund will be invested so as to track the LB Bond Index. The
securities of foreign issuers may be held by the Fund directly or indirectly
through American Depository Receipts or European Depository Receipts.

          It is the intention of the Trustee not to cause the Fund to invest in
derivative securities, except to the extent set forth in the Prospectus of the
Collective Trust from time to time in effect pursuant to which the Units of the
Fund may be issued.  The Trustee, subject to consultation with ABRA, may in the
future review such investment policy.

          The Fund will not:

          (a)  trade in foreign currency (except transactions incidental to the
               settlement of purchases or sales of securities for the Fund);

          (b)  make an investment in order to exercise control or management
               over a company;

          (c)  make short sales, unless the Fund has, by reason of ownership of
               other securities, the right to obtain securities of a kind and
               amount equivalent to the securities sold, which right will
               continue so long as the Fund is in a short position;

          (d)  trade in commodities or commodity contracts, except futures
               contracts (including options on futures contracts) with respect
               to securities and securities indices for hedging purposes or
               pursuant to the investment policy regarding derivative securities
               referred to above;

          (e)  write uncovered options;

          (f)  purchase real estate or mortgages, provided that the Fund may buy
               shares of real estate investment trusts listed on U.S. stock
               exchanges or reported on Nasdaq National Market if such purchases
               are consistent with the investment objective of the Fund;

          (g)  invest in oil, gas or mineral leases;
<PAGE>
 
          (h)  purchase any security on margin or borrow money, except for
               short-term credit necessary for clearance of securities
               transactions; or

          (i)  make loans, except by (i) the purchase of marketable bonds,
               debentures, commercial paper and similar marketable evidences of
               indebtedness and (ii) engaging in repurchase agreement
               transactions.

          3.   Initial Value of Units of the Fund.  The initial value of Units
               ----------------------------------                             
of the Fund was $10.00 on September 5, 1995.

          4.   Restrictions on Withdrawals and Transfers.  There are no
               -----------------------------------------               
restrictions on withdrawal and transfer.  A Participating Trust may request
withdrawal of any number of Units of the Fund on any Business Day.

          5.   Trustee, Management and Administrative Fees.  For services
               -------------------------------------------               
rendered as trustee of the Fund, the Trustee will be entitled to receive
compensation in the amount and at the times set forth in Schedule A attached
hereto.

          6.   Investment Advisors and Initial Investments in Registered
               ---------------------------------------------------------
Investment Companies.  The Trustee has determined that until a minimum level of
- --------------------                                                           
assets have been allocated to the Fund, in order to provide for efficient
investment of the Fund's assets, at inception, the assets of the Fund will be
invested in registered investment companies.  It is anticipated that, after a
minimum level of assets has been allocated to each respective portion of the
Fund, such portion will be managed as a separate collective trust portfolio by
the Trustee.

     The Trustee will monitor the performance of the registered investment
companies in which the Fund is invested in light of the Fund's investment
objective to determine whether the continued investment by the Fund in such
registered investment companies is appropriate.  If the Trustee concludes that
the investment objectives or performance of such registered investment companies
are no longer consistent with those of the Fund, the Trustee may transfer a
portion of or all the assets of the Fund that are invested in such registered
investment companies to other registered investment companies or collective
funds managed by the Trustee that, in light of the investment objectives of the
Fund, the Trustee deems to be more appropriate.

     The Trustee retains the right to appoint Investment Advisors to assist the
Trustee in managing the assets of the Fund.  Any such Investment Advisors shall
be designated from time to time in Schedule B attached hereto, and the Trustee
shall enter into investment advisory agreements with such Investment Advisors
setting forth the terms and conditions (including any volume or percentage
limitations applicable to types, categories or classes of securities) under
which any such Investment Advisors 
<PAGE>
 
will advise and make recommendations to the Trustee and the compensation to be
paid to such Investment Advisors.

          7.   Conflicts.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
               ---------                                                       
document and the Declaration of Trust, the Declaration of Trust shall control
unless the Declaration of Trust specifically permits the Trustee to vary the
particular provision set forth therein.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY has caused its
name to be signed to this Amended and Restated Fund Declaration for the
Intermediate Bond Fund by its proper officer as of January 1, 1999.

          (b)  make an investment in order to exercise control or management
               over a company;

               amount equivalent to the securities sold, which right will
               continue so long as the Fund is in a short position;

                               COLLECTIVE TRUST

                  THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED FUND DECLARATION

                              GROWTH EQUITY FUND

          Pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 7.01 of the Declaration of Trust, dated
December 5, 1991, as amended as of July 31, 1995 and as further amended as of
the date hereof, which authorizes State Street Bank and Trust Company as trustee
("State Street" or the "Trustee") of the American Bar Association Members/State

of the investment funds established under the Collective Trust, effective as of
January 1, 1999 State Street hereby amends and restates the Fund Declaration
dated April 12, 1996 of the Growth Equity Fund, an investment fund established
under the Collective Trust (the "Fund").  The provisions of the Declaration of
Trust are incorporated herein by reference.  In addition, the Trustee agrees and
declares that it will hold, administer and deal with all money and property
received or purchased by it as Trustee of the Collective Trust on behalf of the
Fund subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in this Fund
Declaration.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings set forth in the Declaration of Trust.

          1.   Investment Objective.  The primary investment objective of the
               --------------------                                          
Fund is to achieve long-term growth of capital, and the secondary investment
objective of the Fund is to realize income.  The Fund will seek to achieve
growth of capital through increases in the value of the securities it holds and
to realize income principally from dividends on such securities.  The Fund will
seek to achieve, over an extended period of time, total returns comparable to or

well-established companies, provided that the Trustee may invest a portion of

portion of the assets of the Fund in accordance with Section 3.03(c) of the
Declaration of Trust.  The Trustee may also invest in non-equity securities,
including investment grade bonds and debentures and high quality money market
instruments, if the Trustee, in the reasonable exercise of its fiduciary
discretion, determines that such investments may contribute to the attainment of
the Fund's investment objective.  The Trustee shall not invest more than 35% of
the assets of the Fund in non-equity securities, except under the circumstances
enumerated in Section 3.03(c) of the Declaration of Trust. 
<PAGE>
 
Securities of non-U.S. companies may be held by the Fund directly or indirectly
through American Depository Receipts or European Depository Receipts.

          It is the intention of the Trustee not to cause the Fund to invest in
derivative securities, except to the extent set forth in the Prospectus of the
Collective Trust from time to time in effect pursuant to which the Units of the
Fund may be issued.  The Trustee, subject to consultation with ABRA, may in the
future review such investment policy.

          The Fund will not:

          (a)  trade in foreign currency (except transactions incidental to the
               settlement of purchases or sales of securities for the Fund);

          (b)  make an investment in order to exercise control or management
               over a company;

          (c)  make short sales, unless the Fund has, by reason of ownership of
               other securities, the right to obtain securities of a kind and
               amount equivalent to the securities sold, which right will
               continue so long as the Fund is in a short position;

          (d)  trade in commodities or commodity contracts, except futures
               contracts (including options on futures contracts) with respect

               referred to above;

          (e)  write uncovered options;

          (f)  purchase real estate or mortgages, provided that the Fund may buy

               exchanges or reported on the Nasdaq National Market if such
               purchases are consistent with the investment objective and
               restrictions set forth in this Fund Declaration;

          (g)  invest in the securities of registered invested companies;

          (h)  invest in oil, gas or mineral leases;

               indebtedness, and (ii) engaging in repurchase agreement
               transactions.

          The Trustee intends to operate the Fund as a "qualifying entity"
pursuant to Regulation 4.5 of the Commodity Exchange Act (the "Act").
Therefore, the Fund will limit its positions in commodity futures or option
contracts which do not come within the meaning and intent of section 1.3(z)(1)

not exceed five percent of the net asset value of the Fund.

hereto.

Any such Investment Advisors shall be designated from time to time in Schedule B

                 AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION MEMBERS/STATE STREET
                               COLLECTIVE TRUST

                  THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED FUND DECLARATION

                               INDEX EQUITY FUND

          Pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 7.01 of the Declaration of Trust, dated
December 5, 1991, as amended as of July 31, 1995 and as further amended as of
the date hereof, which authorizes State Street Bank and Trust Company as trustee
("State Street" or the "Trustee") of the American Bar Association Members/State
Street Collective Trust (the "Collective Trust") to amend the Fund Declarations
of the investment funds established under the Collective Trust, effective as of
January 1, 1999 State Street hereby amends and restates the Fund Declaration
dated April 12, 1996 of the Index Equity Fund, an investment fund established
under the Collective Trust (the "Fund").  The provisions of the Declaration of
Trust are incorporated herein by reference.  In addition, the Trustee agrees and
declares that it will hold, administer and deal with all money and property
received or purchased by it as Trustee of the Collective Trust on behalf of the
Fund subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in this Fund
Declaration.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings set forth in the Declaration of Trust.

          1.   Name of Fund.  The name of this investment fund shall be "Index
               ------------                                                   
Equity Fund" (the "Index Fund").

          2.   Investment Objective.  The primary investment objective of the
               --------------------                                          
Index Fund is to replicate the total return of the Russell 3000 Index (the
"Russell Index") by investing in common stocks included in the Russell Index,
with the overall objective of achieving long-term growth of capital.

          3.   Investment Guidelines and Restrictions.  The assets of the Index
               --------------------------------------                          
Fund will be invested and reinvested primarily in common stocks issued by
companies included in the Russell Index through collective investment funds
maintained by the Trustee.  The Index Fund may invest temporarily for defensive
purposes, without limitation, in certain short-term fixed-income securities in
accordance with Section 3.03(c) of the Declaration of Trust.  The Trustee may
also invest in non-equity securities, including investment grade bonds and
debentures and high quality money market instruments (when considered consistent
with the investment objective of the Index Fund).  Such securities may be used
to invest uncommitted cash balances or to 
<PAGE>
 
maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions. The Index Fund will
concentrate in particular industries to the extent that the Russell Index
concentrates in those industries. The Index Fund will not borrow money, except
as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes or to facilitate
redemptions (not for leveraging or investment).

          It is the intention of the Trustee not to cause the Fund to invest in
derivative securities, except to the extent set forth in the Prospectus of the
Collective Trust from time to time in effect pursuant to which the Units of the
Fund may be issued.  The Trustee, subject to consultation with ABRA, may in the
future review such investment policy.

          The Index Fund will not:

          (a)  trade in foreign currency (except transactions incidental to the
               settlement of purchases or sales of securities for the Fund);

          (b)  make an investment in order to exercise control or management
               over a company;

          (c)  make short sales, unless the Index Fund has, by reason of
               ownership of other securities, the right to obtain securities of
               a kind and amount equivalent to the securities sold, which right
               will continue so long as the Index Fund is in a short position;

          (d)  trade in commodities or commodity contracts, except futures
               contracts (including options on futures contracts) with respect
               to securities and securities indices for hedging purposes or
               pursuant to the investment policy regarding derivative securities
               referred to above;

          (e)  write uncovered options;

          (f)  purchase real estate or mortgages, provided that the Index Fund
               may buy shares of real estate investment trusts listed on U.S.
               stock exchanges or reported on Nasdaq National Market if such
               purchases are consistent with the investment objective and
               restrictions set forth in this Fund Declaration;

          (g)  invest in oil, gas or mineral leases;

          (h)  purchase any security on margin or borrow money, except for
               short-term credit necessary for clearance of securities
               transactions; or
<PAGE>
 
          (i)  make loans, except by (i) the purchase of marketable bonds,
               debentures, commercial paper and similar marketable evidences of
               indebtedness and (ii) engaging in repurchase agreement
               transactions.

          The Trustee intends to operate the Fund as a "qualifying entity"
pursuant to Regulation 4.5 of the Commodity Exchange Act (the "Act").
Therefore, the Fund will limit its positions in commodity futures or option
contracts which do not come within the meaning and intent of section 1.3(z)(1)
of the Act to positions for which the aggregate initial margin and premiums will
not exceed five percent of the net asset value of the Fund.

          4.   Initial Value of Units of the Fund.  The initial value of the
               ----------------------------------                           
Units of the Fund was $10.00 on May 2, 1994.

          5.   Restrictions on Withdrawals and Transfers.  There are no
               -----------------------------------------               
restrictions on withdrawal and transfer.  A Participating Trust may request
withdrawal of any number of Units of the Index Fund on any Business Day.

          6.   Trustee, Management and Administrative Fees.  For services
               -------------------------------------------               
rendered as trustee of the Index Fund, the Trustee will be entitled to receive
compensation in the amount and at the times set forth in Schedule A attached
hereto.

          7.   Conflicts.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
               ---------                                                       
document and the Declaration of Trust, the Declaration of Trust shall control
unless the Declaration of Trust specifically permits the Trustee to vary the
particular provision set forth therein.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY has caused its
name to be signed to this Amended and Restated Fund Declaration for the Index
Fund by its proper officer as of January 1, 1999.

               --------------------                                          
Fund is to achieve long-term growth of capital through investment primarily in
common stocks of established non-U.S. companies. The Fund will seek to achieve,
growth of capital through capital appreciation, dividend income and currency
gains. The Fund will seek to achieve, over an extended period time, total

          2.   Investment Guidelines and Restrictions.  The assets of the Fund
               --------------------------------------                         
will be invested and reinvested primarily in common stocks issued by established
non-U.S. companies that are believed to have the potential for growth of
capital, provided that the Trustee may invest a portion of the assets of the
Fund in other equity-related securities, such as convertible securities,
preferred stock and warrants of such foreign companies, and may invest all or
any portion of the assets of the Fund in accordance with Section 3.03(c) of the

securities, except under
<PAGE>
 
the circumstances enumerated in Section 3.03(c) of the Declaration of Trust.

derivative securities, except to the extent set forth in the Prospectus of the
Collective Trust from time to time in effect pursuant to which the Units of the
Fund may be issued. The Trustee, subject to consultation with ABRA, may in the
future review such investment policy.

          The Fund will not:

               settlement of purchases or sales of securities for the Fund);

          (b)  make an investment in order to exercise control or management
               over a company;

          (c)  make short sales, unless the Fund has, by reason of ownership of
               other securities, the right to obtain securities of a kind and
               amount equivalent to the securities sold, which right will
               continue so long as the Fund is in a short position;

          (d)  trade in commodities or commodity contracts, except futures
               contracts (including options on futures contracts) with respect
               to securities and securities indices for hedging purposes or

               referred to above;

          (e)  write uncovered options;

               are consistent with the investment objective and restrictions set
               forth in this Fund Declaration;

          (g)  invest in oil, gas or mineral leases;
<PAGE>
 
          (h)  purchase any security on margin or borrow money, except for

               transactions; or

          (i)  make loans, except by (i) the purchase of marketable bonds,
               debentures, commercial paper and similar marketable evidences of
               indebtedness and (ii) engaging in repurchase Agreement
               transactions.
 
          3.   Initial Value of Units of the Fund.  The initial value of Units
               ----------------------------------                             
of the Fund was $15.00 on September 5, 1995.

          4.   Restrictions on Withdrawals and Transfers.  There are no
               -----------------------------------------               
restrictions on withdrawal and transfer.  A Participating Trust may request
withdrawal of any number of Units of the Fund on any Business Day.

          5.   Trustee, Management and Administrative Fees.  For services
               -------------------------------------------               
rendered as trustee of the Fund, the Trustee will be entitled to receive
compensation in the amount and at the times set forth in Schedule A attached
hereto.

          6.   Investment Advisor and Initial Investment in Registered
               -------------------------------------------------------
Investment Companies.  The Trustee has determined that until a minimum level of
- --------------------                                                           
assets have been allocated to the Fund, at inception, the assets of the Fund
will be invested in one or more registered investment companies.  It is
anticipated that, after a minimum level of assets have been allocated to the
Fund, the Fund may be managed as a separate collective trust portfolio by the
Trustee.

          The Trustee will monitor the performance of the registered investment
companies in light of the Fund's investment objective to determine whether the
continued investment by the Fund in such registered investment companies is
appropriate. If the Trustee concludes that the investment objectives or
performance of such registered investment companies are no longer consistent
with those of the Fund, the Trustee may transfer a portion of or all the assets
of the Fund that are invested in such registered investment companies to other
registered investment companies or collective funds managed by the Trustee that,
in light of the investment objectives of the Fund, the Trustee deems to be more
appropriate.

          The Trustee retains the right to appoint Investment Advisors to assist
the Trustee in managing the assets of the Fund.  Any such Investment Advisors
shall be designated from time to time in Schedule B attached hereto, and the
Trustee shall enter into investment advisory agreements with such Investment
Advisors setting forth the terms and conditions (including any volume or
percentage limitations applicable to types, categories or classes of securities)
under which any such Investment Advisors
<PAGE>
 
will advise and make recommendations to the Trustee and the compensation to be
paid to such Investment Advisors.

          7.   Conflicts.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
               ---------                                                       
document and the Declaration of Trust, the Declaration of Trust shall control
unless the Declaration of Trust specifically permits the Trustee to vary the
particular provision set forth therein.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY has caused its
name to be signed to this Amended and Restated Fund Declaration for the
International Equity Fund by its proper officer as of January 1, 1999.

                                COLLECTIVE TRUST

                  FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED FUND DECLARATION

                          STRUCTURED PORTFOLIO SERVICE


          Pursuant to Article III of the Declaration of Trust, dated December 5,
1991 (the "Declaration of Trust"), which authorizes State Street Bank and Trust
Company as trustee ("State Street" or the "Trustee") of the American Bar
Association Members/State Street Collective Trust (the "Collective Trust") to
amend the Fund Declarations of the investment funds established under the
Collective Trust, effective as of January 1, 1999 State Street hereby amends and
restates the Fund Declaration dated September 5, 1995 of the Structured
Portfolio Service (the "Portfolio Service") constituting of three separate
portfolios, each of which shall constitute a separate Fund established pursuant
to the Declaration of Trust.  The holder of an interest in the Portfolio Service
shall have no rights as such, other than the rights of a holder of the separate
portfolio.  The provisions of the Collective Trust are incorporated herein by
reference.  In addition, the Trustee agrees and declares that it will hold,
administer and deal with all money and property received or purchased by it as
Trustee of the Collective Trust subject to the additional terms and conditions
set forth in this Fund Declaration.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Declaration of Trust.

provide investment diversification by offering three distinct portfolios,
conservative, moderate and aggressive, each with a different investment strategy
and different risk and reward characteristics.  The conservative portfolio will
place an emphasis on shorter-term and fixed-income securities and is intended
for investors with lower risk tolerance who seek returns based primarily on
higher current investment income.  The moderate portfolio will take a more
balanced approach (in comparison to the conservative portfolio) and is intended
for investors who seek returns based upon relatively stable investment income
but who also desire an increased potential for growth.  The aggressive portfolio
will place an emphasis on stocks and is intended for investors who have a higher
degree of risk tolerance and who seek capital appreciation.

          2.   Investment Guidelines and Restrictions.  The Portfolio Service
               --------------------------------------

Funds:  the Stable Asset Return Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Value
Equity Fund, the Growth Equity Fund, the Index Equity Fund, the Aggressive
Equity Fund and the International Equity Fund (collectively, the "Investment
Funds").  The conservative, moderate and aggressive portfolios will be allocated

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with the above-captioned Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and the rules and
regulations under it (the "Rules"), we have been requested by State Street Bank

(the "Collective Trust"), a

                                                                               2



collective trust established and maintained by the Trustee for the purpose of
providing various investment vehicles for assets contributed by members of the
American Bar Association Members Retirement Program, a program sponsored by the
American Bar Retirement Association, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation
("ABRA"), to render our opinion as to the legality of the $2,000,000,000 of
units of beneficial interests in eight collective investment funds and three
portfolios of a Structured Portfolio Service (the "Units") established by the
Trustee under the Collective Trust and that are registered under the
Registration Statement.

          In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following
documents (collectively, the "Documents"):  the Registration Statement; the
Administrative and Investment Services Agreement dated as of January 1, 1999
between ABRA and the Trustee; the American Bar Association Members Retirement
Trust dated January 1, 1992 between ABRA and the Trustee, as amended; the
American Bar Association Members Pooled Trust for Retirement Plans dated January
1, 1992 between ABRA and the Trustee, as amended; and the Declaration of Trust
dated August 8, 1991, as amended and restated through November 18, 1991, as
amended, and all exhibits to them.  In addition, we have examined those other
certificates, agreements and documents as we deemed relevant and necessary as a
basis for our opinion.

          In our examination of the above documents, we have assumed, without
independent investigation, the enforceability of the Documents against each
party to them, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,
the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified, photostatic,

reproduced or conformed copies of valid existing agreements or other documents,
the authenticity of all these latter documents and the legal capacity of all
individuals who have executed any of the documents we have reviewed.

          Based on the above, and subject to the stated assumptions, we are of
the opinion that the Units, when issued and delivered and paid for as
contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Documents, will be legally
issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Trustee.

          We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and do not purport
to be experts in, or to express any opinion concerning, the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and the Federal laws
of the United States.  With your permission, this opinion is rendered as to all
matters relating to Massachusetts law in reliance upon the opinion dated today
of Goodwin, Procter & Hoar LLP, which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.  Our opinions are rendered only with respect to the laws, and the
rules, regulations and orders under them, which are currently in effect.

          We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.  In giving
this consent, we do not agree that we come within the category of persons whose
consent is required by the Act or the Rules.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

   In connection with Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1,

Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust  (the "Collective Trust"),
being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the

beneficial interest with an aggregate offering price of up to two billion
dollars ($2,000,000,000) (the "Units") in the Collective Trust, we have been

Registration Statement.

   For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have examined (i) the Amended and
Restated Declaration of Trust of the Collective Trust dated December 5, 1991, as
amended as of July 31, 1995, April 12, 1996, April 11, 1997 and January 1, 1999

incorporated therein by reference, and we make no representation that we have
independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such
statements.  Without limiting the foregoing, we assume no responsibility for,
and have not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
the financial statements or notes thereto, financial schedules and other
financial and statistical data included in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, and we have not examined the accounting, financial or statistical
records from which such statements and notes, schedules and data are derived.

   We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the Prospectus under
