ESSENTIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (CONTINUED)
THE TRUST. The objective of the PaineWebber Equity Trust, Growth Stock
Series 18 (the "Trust") is to provide for capital appreciation through an
investment in equity stocks which have, in the Sponsor's opinion, on the
Initial Date of Deposit, an above-average potential for capital appreciation
(referred to herein alternatively as either the "Stocks" or the
"Securities").
The Trust will seek to achieve its objective of capital appreciation
through an investment in a diversified portfolio of Stocks issued by
companies that PaineWebber believes are likely to benefit from a return to
potential outperformance by growth stocks. PaineWebber uses the term "growth
stocks" to mean those stocks whose earnings growth rate is greater than that
of the market as a whole, as defined by the S&P 500.* In PaineWebber's view,
the consumer sector of the U.S. economy will be the driving force behind the
economic growth of the next decade. PaineWebber has therefore identified
certain trends discussed briefly below which it believes will help highlight
those companies which should benefit from the growth potential in the
consumer sector.
SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS. There are certain investment risks inherent in
unit trust portfolios which hold equity securities. The equity securities may
appreciate or depreciate in value or pay dividends depending on the full
range of economic and market influences affecting corporate profitability,
the financial condition of the issuers, the prices of equity securities, the
condition of the stock markets in general and the prices of the stocks in
particular. In addition, rights of common stock holders are generally
inferior to those of holders of debt obligations or preferred stock. See
"Risk Factors and Special Considerations" for a discussion of these risks.
The Trust's portfolio has been diversified among various industry groups in
an attempt to limit the risks inherent in owning a portfolio of stock. The
stocks may be categorized by industry groups as shown in the table below
under the caption "The Composition of the Portfolio." There is no assurance,
however, that such diversification will eliminate an investor's risk of
earnings or market price volatility or trading liquidity. There can also be
no assurance that the Trust portfolio will remain constant during the life of
the Trust. Certain events might occur which could lead to the elimination of
one or more Stocks from the Portfolio (see: "Administration of the
Trust--Portfolio Supervision"), thereby reducing the diversity of the Trust's
investments. Further, under certain circumstances, if a tender offer is made
for any of the Stocks in the Trust, or in the event of a merger or
reorganization, the Trust will either tender the Stocks or sell them as more
fully described under the captions "The Trust" and "Administration of the
Trust--Portfolio Supervision," herein.
------------
*The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (the "S&P 500") is an unmanaged index of
500 stocks calculated under the auspices of Standard & Poors, which, in
PaineWebber's view, constitutes a broadly diversified, representative segment
of the market of publicly traded stocks in the United States.

THE COMPOSITION OF THE PORTFOLIO.
PaineWebber forecasts that investors should return to investments in
growth stocks. In PaineWebber's view, the consumer sector will be the driving
force behind the growth experienced by the U.S. economy in the next decade.
PaineWebber observes that historically the role of "driver" of the U.S.
economy over the last 50 years has rotated among the government, corporate
and consumer sectors; a brief summary of the economic activity during the
past five decades as set forth below shows this rotation:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
1940-1952: Word War II government military spending propels the economy out of
the depression;
1952-60: Corporations restructure from wartime operations and prosper, while
Eisenhower curbs government spending and the consumer is hurt by
frequent recessions;
1960-67: Strong consumer spending propels rapid growth in the U.S. economy;
1967-82: Government spending expands due to the Vietnam War and Great Society
programs, while the resulting rising taxes and accelerating inflation
and weak productivity growth hurt both corporations and consumers;
1982-87: Consumer spending is bolstered by tax cuts and lowered inflation,
while Reagan curbs government spending and corporations are hurt by
disinflation, a strong dollar and foreign competition;
1987-95: Corporations restructure aggressively and the survivors prosper; the
resulting slowdown of employment growth coupled with reduced wage
gains and benefits hurt the consumer, and the influence of government
continues to slip.
</TABLE>
PaineWebber believes that the consumer sector will be the driving force
behind growth in the U.S. economy during the coming decade because
restructured corporations have few areas of excess left to trim and the
current political environment does not appear disposed towards the rebirth of
"Big Government". In PaineWebber's view, after 20 years of stagnation, real
wages should climb for several reasons: (1) the demand for labor should be
healthy as the U.S. avoids a severe recession, (2) the supply of labor should
grow more slowly than it did during the 1970s and 1980s because women and
"baby-boomers" have already entered the labor force, and (3) corporations
should be able to raise wages in order to attract skilled workers, due to
strong productivity growth, low unit labor cost increases and slower benefits
inflation.
PaineWebber observes that when the government sector drives the economy,
inflation tends to be high and resource-oriented stocks out-perform the
market as a whole, when the corporate sector leads, industrial/capital goods
stocks perform well, and when the consumer sector drives the economy,
consumer stocks outperform the market as a whole.
PaineWebber forecasts that as consumer income rises more rapidly than it
has in the past, and as the personal savings rate rises, interest rates will
fall to levels even lower than current interest rates. But PaineWebber notes
that consumer spending will also rise during this time period, although more
slowly than the rise in incomes. PaineWebber cautions that investing to
benefit from these developments will not be merely a matter of choosing the
most obvious consumer trends and brand names, such cyclical
automotive/housing/retail stocks or "power brand" growth stocks. Rather, in
PaineWebber's view, a new set of investment opportunities will result from a
new consumer profile which PaineWebber believes is likely to be "older and
wiser," not the "ebullient youth" of the 1960s nor the "conspicuous consumer"
of the 1980s.
Accordingly, PaineWebber's research professionals have identified certain
trends listed below which they believe will highlight companies which may be
poised to benefit from growth prospects in the consumer section. These trends
are briefly summarized as follows:
1. A Bifurcated Market. PaineWebber believes that the focus should be on
companies that serve the extremes of the income distribution, either
at the high end or the low end rather than on companies serving the
middle income level consumer (with the exception of certain companies
which may still benefit from restructurings or consolidations).
4
<PAGE>
2. Maturing and More Sophisticated Consumers. PaineWebber expects that
consumers will spend more on jewelry, entertainment and books, as
well as sensible work clothing, rather than high-fashion apparel. As
such consumers age, PaineWebber expects that they will become
increasingly health conscious and likely to spend more on vitamins
and nonalcoholic beverages such as coffee than on alcohol.
3. The Golden Years. With rapid growth occurring in the over-75 age
group, PaineWebber asserts that there will be rising demand for
nursing homes, ambulance companies, funeral service providers and
other companies who serve the needs of the elderly.
4. Home Improvement. As "baby-boomers" continue to purchase their own
homes, PaineWebber believes that they will spend more to make their
homes comfortable and will increasingly create home offices, leading
to purchases of personal computers and other home office products.
5. The Country Western Consumer. PaineWebber expects that the South
should continue to prosper, and that country western culture will
become more "mainstream", a trend that will influence companies in
the consumer sector.
6. The Savings Surge. It is PaineWebber's opinion that income should
rise faster than consumption, which will have a positive effect on
trust-oriented banks, brokers, mutual fund companies and other
investment service providers.
PaineWebber's research professionals have selected certain stocks in the
industries listed below which they believe will benefit from one or more of
the trends listed above. In PaineWebber's search for such potential growth
stocks, there was no particular bias toward large capitalization or small
capitalization issues. These are common stocks issued by companies who may
receive income and derive revenues from multiple industry sources but whose
primary industry is listed in the "Schedule of Investments."

ADDITIONAL DEPOSITS. After the first deposit on the Initial Date of
Deposit the Sponsor may, from time to time, cause the deposit of additional
Securities in the Trust where additional Units are to be offered to the
public, maintaining the original percentage relationships between the number
of shares of Stock deposited on the Initial Date of Deposit, subject to
certain adjustments. Costs incurred in acquiring such additional Stocks which
are not listed on any national securities exchange will be borne by the
Trust. Investors purchasing Units during the initial public offering period
will experience a dilution of their investment as a result of such brokerage
fees and other expenses paid by the Trust during additional deposits of
Securities purchased by the Trustee with cash or cash equivalents pursuant to
instructions to purchase such Securities. (See "The Trust" and "Risk Factors
and Special Considerations".)
TERMINATION. Unless advised to the contrary by the Sponsor, the Trustee
will begin to sell the Securities held in the Trust twenty days prior to the
Mandatory Termination Date. Moneys held upon such sale or maturity of
Securities will be held in non-interest bearing accounts created by the
Indenture until distributed and will be of benefit to the Trustee. During the
life of the Trust, Securities will not be sold to take advantage of market
fluctuations. The Trust will terminate approximately five (5) years after the
Initial Date of Deposit regardless of market conditions at the time. (See
"Termination of the Trust" and "Federal Income Taxes".)
PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE. The Public Offering Price per Unit is computed by
dividing the Trust Fund Evaluation, including the U.S. dollar value of the
Foreign Stocks based on the applicable currency exchange rate calculated at
the Evaluation Time, by the number of Units outstanding and then adding a
sales charge of 3.75% of the Public Offering Price (3.90% of the net amount
invested). The sales charge is reduced on a graduated scale for volume
purchasers and is reduced for certain other purchasers. Units are offered at
the Public Offering Price computed as of the Evaluation Time for all sales
subsequent to the previous evaluation. The Public Offering Price on the
Initial Date of Deposit, and on subsequent dates, will vary from the Public
Offering Price set forth on page 2. (See "Public Offering of Units--Public
Offering Price".)
DISTRIBUTIONS. The Trustee will make distributions on the Distribution
Dates. (See "Distributions" and "Administration of the Trust".) Upon
termination of the Trust, the Trustee will distribute to each Unitholder of
record on such date his pro rata share of the Trust's assets, less expenses.
The sale of Securities in the Trust in the period prior to termination and
upon termination may result in a lower amount than might otherwise be
realized if such sale were not required at such time due to impending or
actual termination of the Trust. For this reason, among others, the amount
realized by a Unitholder upon termination may be less than the amount paid by
such Unitholder.
MARKET FOR UNITS. The Sponsor, though not obligated to do so, presently
intends to maintain a secondary market for Units. The public offering price
in the secondary market will be based upon the value of the Securities next
determined after receipt of a purchase order, plus the applicable sales charge.
(See "Public Offering of Units--Public Offering Price" and "Valuation".) If a
secondary market is not maintained, a Unitholder may dispose of his Units only
through redemption. With respect to redemption requests in excess of $100,000,
the Sponsor may determine in its sole discretion to direct the Trustee to redeem
units "in kind" by distributing Securities to the redeeming Unitholder. (See
"Redemption".)

<PAGE>
THE TRUST
The Trust is one of a series of similar but separate unit investment
trusts created under New York law by the Sponsor pursuant to a Trust
Indenture and Agreement* (the "Indenture") dated as of the Initial Date of
Deposit, between PaineWebber Incorporated, as Sponsor and Investors Bank &
Trust Company and The First National Bank of Chicago, N.A., as Co-Trustees
(the "Trustee"). The objective of the Trust is capital appreciation through
an investment in equity stocks having, in Sponsor's opinion on the Initial
Date of Deposit, potential for capital appreciation.
On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Sponsor deposited with the Trustee
confirmations of contracts for the purchase of Stocks together with an
irrevocable letter or letters of credit of a commercial bank or banks in an
amount at least equal to the purchase price. The value of the Stocks was
determined on the basis described under "Valuation". In exchange for the
deposit of the contracts to purchase Securities, the Trustee delivered to the
Sponsor a receipt for Units representing the entire ownership of the Trust.
With the deposit on the Initial Date of Deposit, the Sponsor established a
proportionate relationship between the Securities in the Trust (determined by
reference to the number of shares of Stock). The Sponsor may, from time to
time, cause the deposit of additional Securities in the Trust when additional
Units are to be offered to the public, maintaining as closely as practicable
the original percentage relationship between the Securities deposited on the
Initial Date of Deposit and replicating any cash or cash equivalents held by
the Trust (net of expenses). The original proportionate relationship is
subject to adjustment to reflect the occurrence of a stock split or a similar
event which affects the capital structure of the issuer of a Stock but which
does not affect the Trust's percentage ownership of the common stock equity
of such issuer at the time of such event, to reflect a sale or maturity of
Security or to reflect a merger or reorganization. Stock dividends, if any,
received by the Trust will be sold by the Trustee and the proceeds therefrom
shall be distributed on the next Income Account Distribution Date.
On the Initial Date of Deposit each Unit represented the fractional
undivided interest in the Securities and net income of the Trust set forth
under "Essential Information Regarding the Trust". However, if additional
Units are issued by the Trust (through the deposit of additional Securities
for purposes of the sale of additional Units), the aggregate value of
Securities in the Trust will be increased and the fractional undivided
interest represented by each Unit in the balance will be decreased. If any
Units are redeemed, the aggregate value of Securities in the Trust will be
reduced, and the fractional undivided interest represented by each remaining
Unit in the balance will be increased. Units will remain outstanding until
redeemed upon tender to the Trustee by any Unitholder (which may include the
Sponsor) or until the termination of the Trust. (See "Termination of the
Trust".)

RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
An investment in Units of the Trust should be made with an understanding
of the risks inherent in an investment in common stocks in general. The
general risks are associated with the rights to receive payments from the
issuer which are generally inferior to creditors of, or holders of debt
obligations or preferred stocks issued by, the issuer. Holders of common
stocks have a right to receive dividends only when and if, and in the
amounts, declared by the issuer's board of directors and to participate in
amounts available for distribution by the issuer only after all other claims
against the issuer have been paid or provided for. By contrast, holders of
preferred stocks have the right to receive dividends at a fixed rate when and
as declared by the issuer's board of directors, normally on a cumulative
basis, but do not participate in other amounts available for distribution by
the issuing corporation. Dividends on cumulative preferred stock must be paid
before any dividends are paid on common stock. Preferred stocks are also
entitled to rights on liquidation which are senior to those of common stocks.
For these reasons, preferred stocks generally entail less risk than common
stocks.
Common stocks do not represent an obligation of the issuer. Therefore they
do not offer any assurance of income or provide the degree of protection of
debt securities. The issuance of debt securities or even preferred stock by
an issuer will create prior claims for payment of principal, interest and
dividends which could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the
issuer to declare or pay dividends on its common stock or the rights of
holders of common stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation
or bankruptcy. Unlike debt securities which typically have a stated principal
amount payable at maturity, common stocks do not have a fixed principal
amount or a maturity. Additionally, the value of the Stock in the Trust may
be expected to fluctuate over the life of the Trust.
In addition, there are investment risks common to all equity issues. The
Stocks may appreciate or depreciate in value depending upon a variety of
factors, including the full range of economic and market influences affecting
corporate profitability, the financial condition of issuers, changes in
national or worldwide economic conditions, and the prices of equity
securities in general and the Stocks in particular. Distributions of income,
generally made by declaration of dividends, is also dependent upon several
factors, including those discussed above in the preceding sentence.
Investors should note that the creation of additional Units subsequent to
the Initial Date of Deposit may have an effect upon the value of previously
existing Units. To create additional Units the Sponsor may deposit cash (or
cash equivalents, e.g., a bank letter of credit in lieu of cash) with
instructions to purchase Securities in amounts sufficient to maintain, to the
extent practicable, the percentage relationship among the Securities based on
the price of the Securities at the Evaluation Time on the date the cash is
deposited. To the extent the price of a Security increases or decreases
between the time cash is deposited with instructions to purchase the Security
and the time the cash is used to purchase the Security, Units will represent
less or more of that Security and more or less of the other Securities in the
Trust. Unitholders will be at risk because of price fluctuations during this
period since if the price of shares of a Security increases, Unitholders will
have an interest in fewer shares of that Security, and if the price of a
Security decreases, Unitholders will have an interest in more shares of that
Security, than if the Security had been purchased on the date cash was
deposited with instructions to purchase the Security. In order to minimize
these effects, the Trust will attempt to purchase Securities as close as
possible to the Evaluation Time or at prices as close as possible to the
prices used to evaluate the Trust at the Evaluation Time. Thus price
fluctuations during this period will affect the value of every Unitholder's
Units and the income per Unit received by the Trust. In addition, costs
incurred in connection with the acquisition of Securities not listed on any
national securities exchange (due to differentials between bid and offer
prices for the Securities) will be at the expense of the Trust and will
affect the value of every Unitholder's Units.

<PAGE>
In the event a contract to purchase a Stock to be deposited on the Initial
Date of Deposit or any other date fails, cash held or available under a
letter or letters of credit, attributable to such failed contract may be
reinvested in another stock or stocks having characteristics sufficiently
similar to the Stocks originally deposited (in which case the original
proportionate relationship shall be adjusted) or, if not so reinvested,
distributed to Unitholders of record on the last day of the month in which
the failure occurred. The distribution will be made twenty days following
such record date and, in the event of such a distribution, the Sponsor will
refund to each Unitholder the portion of the sales charge attributable to
such failed contract.
BECAUSE THE TRUST IS ORGANIZED AS A UNIT INVESTMENT TRUST, RATHER THAN AS
A MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND THE SPONSOR DO NOT HAVE
AUTHORITY TO MANAGE THE TRUST'S ASSETS FULLY IN AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF VARIOUS MARKET CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE THE TRUST'S NET ASSET VALUE, BUT MAY
DISPOSE OF SECURITIES ONLY UNDER LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES. (SEE THE DISCUSSION
BELOW RELATING TO DISPOSITION OF STOCKS WHICH MAY BE THE SUBJECT OF A TENDER
OFFER, MERGER OR REORGANIZATION AND ALSO THE DISCUSSION UNDER THE CAPTION
"ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST--PORTFOLIO SUPERVISION".)
Certain of the Stocks may be attractive acquisition candidates pursuant to
mergers, acquisitions and tender offers. In general, tender offers involve a
bid by an issuer or other acquiror to acquire a stock pursuant to the terms
of its offer. Payment generally takes the form of cash, securities (typically
bonds or notes), or cash and securities. Pursuant to federal law a tender
offer must remain open for at least 20 days and withdrawal rights apply
during the entire offering period. Frequently offers are conditioned upon a
specified number of shares being tendered and upon the obtaining of
financing. There may be other conditions to the tender offer as well.
Additionally, an offeror may only be willing to accept a specified number of
shares. In the event a greater number of shares is tendered, the offeror must
take up and pay for a pro rata portion of the shares deposited by each
depositor during the period the offer remains open. The Agreement sets forth
criteria to be applied in the event of a tender offer, merger or
reorganization involving one or more of the Stocks in the Trust (see
"Administration of the Trust-Portfolio Supervision" herein).
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Trust intends to qualify for and elect tax treatment as a "regulated
investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). By qualifying for and electing such treatment, the Trust will not be
subject to federal income tax on taxable income or net capital gains
distributed to Unitholders provided it distributes 90% or more of its taxable
income (exclusive of net capital gains). However, a 4% excise tax is imposed
on regulated investment companies that fail to distribute all but a de
minimis amount of their income and gain. The Trust intends to distribute all
of its income, including capital gains, annually.
In any taxable year, the distributions of any ordinary income (such as
dividends) and any net short-term capital gain will be taxable as ordinary
income to Unitholders. A distribution paid shortly after a purchase of shares
may be taxable even though, in effect, it may represent a return of capital
to Unitholders. A dividend paid by the Trust in January will be considered
for federal income tax purposes to have been paid by the Trust and received
by the Unitholders on the preceding December 31, if the dividend was declared
in the preceding October, November or December to Unitholders of record in
any one of those months. Distributions which are taxable as ordinary income
to Unitholders will not constitute dividends for purposes of the
dividends-received deduction for corporations except, and only to the extent
of, a specific designation by the Trust.
9
<PAGE>
The gross income of the Trust typically will include dividends and gains
on sales or other dispositions of portfolio securities. In order to maintain
its qualification as a "regulated investment company", the Trust must in the
course of a taxable year derive at least 90% of its gross income from
dividends, interest, gains on sales or other dispositions of Securities and
certain other sources (referred to as "eligible sources"), and must derive
less than 30% of its gross income from the sale or other disposition of
Stock, Securities and certain other assets held for less than three months.
If during a taxable year it appears that less than 90% of the Trust income
will be derived from eligible sources, the Sponsor may direct the Trustee to
sell Securities which, upon the realization of sufficient aggregate gain,
will enable the Trust to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment
company.
Distributions by the Trust that are designated by it as long-term capital
gain distributions will be taxable to Unitholders as long-term capital gains,
regardless of the length of time the Units have been held by a Unitholder.
Distributions will not be taxable to Unitholders to the extent that they
represent a return of capital; such distributions will, however, reduce a
Unitholder's basis in his Units, and to the extent they exceed the basis of
his Units will be taxed as capital gain. Any loss realized by a Unitholder on
the sale or exchange of Units that are held by him for not more than six
months will be treated as a long-term capital loss and to the extent that if
a long-term capital gain distribution had been paid to such Unitholder with
respect to such Units.
Withholding For Citizen or Resident Investors. In the case of any
noncorporate Unitholder that is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
31 percent "backup" withholding tax will apply to certain distributions of
the Trust unless the Unitholder properly completes and files under penalties
of perjury, IRS Form W-9 (or its equivalent).
The foregoing discussion is a general summary and relates only to certain
aspects of the federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Trust
for Unitholders that hold their Units as capital assets. Unitholders may also
be subject to state and local taxation. Each Unitholder should consult its
own tax advisor regarding the Federal, state and local tax consequences to it
of ownership of Units.
Investment in the Trust may be suited for purchase by funds and accounts
of individual investors that are exempt from federal income taxes such as
Individual Retirement Accounts, tax-qualified retirement plans including
Keogh Plans, and other tax-deferred retirement plans. Unitholders desiring to
purchase Units for tax-deferred plans and IRA's should consult their
PaineWebber Investment Executive for details on establishing such accounts.
Units may also be purchased by persons who already have self-directed
accounts established under tax-deferred retirement plans.
PUBLIC OFFERING OF UNITS
Public Offering Price. The public offering price per Unit is based on the
aggregate market value of the Stocks, next determined after the receipt of a
purchase order, divided by the number of Units outstanding plus the sales
charge set forth below. The public offering price per Unit is computed by
dividing the Trust Fund Evaluation, next determined after receipt of a
purchase order by the number of Units outstanding plus the sales charge. (See
"Valuation".) The Public Offering Price on the Initial Date of Deposit or on
any subsequent date will vary from the Public Offering Price calculated on
the business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit (as set forth on page 2
hereof) due to fluctuations in the value of the Stocks among other factors.
Sales charges during the initial public offering period and for secondary
market sales are set forth below. A discount in the sales charge is available
to volume purchasers of Units due to economies of scale in sales effort and
sales related expenses relating to volume purchases. The sales charge
applicable to
10
<PAGE>
volume purchasers of Units is reduced on a graduated scale for sales to any
person of at least $50,000 or 5,000 Units, applied on whichever basis is more
favorable to the purchaser.

* The sales charge applicable to volume purchasers according to the
table above will be applied either on a dollar or Unit basis,
depending upon which basis provides a more favorable purchase price
to the purchaser.
</TABLE>
The volume discount sales charge shown above will apply to all purchases
of Units on any one day by the same person in the amounts stated herein, and
for this purpose purchases of Units of this Trust will be aggregated with
concurrent purchases of any other trust which may be offered by the Sponsor.
Units held in the name of the purchaser's spouse or in the name of a
purchaser's child under the age of 21 are deemed for the purposes hereof to
be registered in the name of the purchaser. The reduced sales charges are
also applicable to a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing Units for a single
trust estate or single fiduciary account.
Employee Discount. Due to the realization of economies of scale in sales
effort and sales related expenses with respect to the purchase of Units by
employees of the Sponsor and its affiliates, the Sponsor intends to permit
employees of the Sponsor and its affiliates and certain of their relatives to
purchase units of the Trust at a reduced sales charge of $5.00 per 100 Units.
Exchange Option. Unitholders may elect to exchange any or all of their
Units of this series for units of one or more of any series of PaineWebber
Municipal Bond Fund (the "PaineWebber Series"); The Municipal Bond Trust (the
"National Series"); The Municipal Bond Trust, Multi-State Program (the
"Multi-State Series"); The Municipal Bond Trust, California Series (the
"California Series"); The Corporate Bond Trust (the "Corporate Series");
PaineWebber Pathfinder's Trust (the "Pathfinder's Trust"); the PaineWebber
Federal Government Trust (the "Government Series"); The Municipal Bond Trust,
Insured Series (the "Insured Series"); or the PaineWebber Equity Trust (the
"Equity Series") (collectively referred to as the "Exchange Trusts"), at a
Public Offering Price for the Units of the Exchange Trusts to be acquired
based on a reduced sales charge of $15 per Unit, per 100 Units in the case of
a trust whose Units cost approximately $10 or per 1,000 units in the case of
a trust whose Units cost approximately one dollar. Unitholders of this Trust
are not eligible for the Exchange Option into an Equity Trust, Growth Stock
Series designated as a rollover series for the 30 day period prior to
termination of the Trust. The purpose of such reduced sales charge is to
permit the Sponsor to pass on
11
<PAGE>
to the Unitholder who wishes to exchange Units the cost savings resulting
from such exchange of Units. The cost savings result from reductions in time
and expense related to advice, financial planning and operational expenses
required for the Exchange Option. Each Exchange Trust has different
investment objectives, therefore a Unitholder should read the prospectus for
the applicable exchange trust carefully prior to exercising this option.
Exchange Trusts having as their objective the receipt of tax-exempt interest
income would not be suitable for tax-deferred investment plans such as
Individual Retirement Accounts. A Unitholder who purchased Units of a series
and paid a per Unit, per 100 Unit or per 1,000 Unit sales charge that was
less than the per Unit, per 100 Unit or per 1,000 Unit sales charge of the
series of the Exchange Trusts for which such Unitholder desires to exchange
into, will be allowed to exercise the Exchange Option at the Unit Offering
Price plus the reduced sales charge, provided the Unitholder has held the
Units for at least five months. Any such Unitholder who has not held the
Units to be exchanged for the five-month period will be required to exchange
them at the Unit Offering Price plus a sales charge based on the greater of
the reduced sales charge, or an amount which, together with the initial sales
charge paid in connection with the acquisition of the Units being exchanged,
equals the sales charge of the series of the Exchange Trust for which such
Unitholder desires to exchange into, determined as of the date of the
exchange.
The Sponsor will permit exchanges at the reduced sales charge provided
there is either a primary market for Units or a secondary market maintained
by the Sponsor in both the Units of this series and units of the applicable
Exchange Trust and there are units of the applicable Exchange Trust available
for sale. While the Sponsor has indicated that it intends to maintain a
market for the Units of the respective Trusts, there is no obligation on its
part to maintain such a market. Therefore, there is no assurance that a
market for Units will in fact exist on any given date at which a Unitholder
wishes to sell his Units of this series and thus there is no assurance that
the Exchange Option will be available to a Unitholder. Exchanges will be
effected in whole Units only. Any excess proceeds from Unitholders' Units
being surrendered will be returned. Unitholders will be permitted to advance
new money in order to complete an exchange to round up to the next highest
number of Units. An exchange of Units pursuant to the Exchange Option
generally will constitute a "taxable event" under the Code, i.e., a
Unitholder will recognize a tax gain or loss at the time of exchange.
Unitholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax
consequences to them of exchanging Units in particular cases.
The Sponsor reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate this
Exchange Option at any time with notice to Unitholders. In the event the
Exchange Option is not available to a Unitholder at the time he wishes to
exercise it, the Unitholder will be immediately notified and no action will
be taken with respect to his Units without further instruction from the
Unitholder.
To exercise the Exchange Option, a Unitholder should notify the Sponsor of
his desire to exercise the Exchange Option and to use the proceeds from the
sale of his Units to the Sponsor of this series to purchase Units of one or
more of the Exchange Trusts from the Sponsor. If Units of the applicable
outstanding series of the Exchange Trust are at that time available for sale,
and if such Units may lawfully be sold in the state in which the Unitholder
is resident, the Unitholder may select the series or group of series for
which he desires his investment to be exchanged. The Unitholder will be
provided with a current prospectus or prospectuses relating to each series in
which he indicates interest.
The exchange transaction will operate in a manner essentially identical to
any secondary market transaction, i.e., Units will be repurchased at a price
based on the market value of the Securities in the portfolio of the Trust
next determined after receipt by the Sponsor of an exchange request and
properly endorsed documents. Units of the Exchange Trust will be sold to the
Unitholder at a price based upon the next determined market value of the
Securities in the Exchange Trust plus the reduced sales charge. Exchange
transactions will be effected only in whole units; thus, any proceeds not
used to acquire whole units will be paid to the selling Unitholder.
12
<PAGE>
For example, assume that a Unitholder, who has three thousand units of a
trust with a current price of $1.30 per unit, desires to sell his units and
seeks to exchange the proceeds for units of a series of an Exchange Trust
with a current price of $890 per Unit based on the bid prices of the
underlying securities. In this example, which does not contemplate any
rounding up to the next highest number of Units, the proceeds from the
Unitholder's Units would aggregate $3,900. Since only whole units of an
Exchange Trust may be purchased under the Exchange Option, the Unitholder
would be able to acquire four Units in the Exchange Trust for a total cost of
$3,620 ($3,560 for the Units and $60 for the sales charge). If all 3,000
Units were tendered, the remaining $280 would be returned to the Unitholder.
Conversion Option. Owners of units of any registered unit investment trust
sponsored by others which was initially offered at a maximum applicable sales
charge of at least 3.0% (a "Conversion Trust") may elect to apply the cash
proceeds of the sale or redemption of those units directly to acquire
available units of any Exchange Trust at a reduced sales charge of $15 per
Unit, per 100 Units in the case of Exchange Trusts having a Unit price of
approximately $10, or per 1,000 Units in the case of Exchange Trusts having a
Unit price of approximately $1, subject to the terms and conditions
applicable to the Exchange Option (except that no secondary market is
required for Conversion Trust units). To exercise this option, the owner
should notify his retail broker. He will be given a prospectus for each
series in which he indicates interest and for which units are available. The
dealer must sell or redeem the units of the Conversion Trust. Any dealer
other than PaineWebber must certify that the purchase of the units of the
Exchange Trust is being made pursuant to and is eligible for the Conversion
Option. The dealer will be entitled to two thirds of the applicable reduced
sales charge. The Sponsor reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate
the Conversion Option at any time with notice, including the right to
increase the reduced sales charge applicable to this option (but not in
excess of $5 more per Unit, per 100 Units or per 1,000 Units, as applicable
than the corresponding fee then being charged for the Exchange Option). For a
description of the tax consequences of a conversion reference is made to the
Exchange Option section herein.
Distribution of Units. The minimum purchase in the initial public offering
is 100 Units, except that the minimum purchase is 25 Units for purchases made
in connection with Individual Retirement Accounts or other tax-deferred
retirement plans. Only whole Units may be purchased.
The Sponsor is the sole underwriter of the Units. Sales may, however, be
made to dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") at prices which include a concession of $.30 per Unit
at the highest sales charge, subject to change from time to time. The
difference between the sales charge and the dealer concession will be
retained by the Sponsor. In the event that the dealer concession is 90% or
more of the sales charge per Unit, dealers taking advantage of such
concession may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Sponsor reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any order
for the purchase of Units. The Sponsor intends to qualify the Units in all
states of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico.
Secondary Market for Units. While not obligated to do so, the Sponsor
intends to maintain a secondary market for the Units and continuously offer
to purchase Units at the Trust Fund Evaluation per Unit next computed after
receipt by the Sponsor of an order from a Unitholder. The Sponsor may cease
to maintain such a market at any time, and from time to time, without notice.
In the event that a secondary market for the Units is not maintained by the
Sponsor, a Unitholder desiring to dispose of Units may tender such Units to
the Trustee for redemption at the price calculated in the manner set forth
under "Redemption". Redemption requests in excess of $100,000 may be redeemed
"in kind" as described under "Redemption." The Sponsor does not in any way
guarantee the enforceability, marketability, value or price of any of the
stocks in the Trust, nor that of the Units.
13
<PAGE>
Investors should note the Trust Fund Evaluation per Unit at the time of
sale or tender for redemption may be less than the price at which the Unit
was purchased.
The Sponsor may redeem any Units it has purchased in the secondary market
if it determines for any reason that it is undesirable to continue to hold
these Units in its inventory. Factors which the Sponsor may consider in
making this determination will include the number of units of all series of
all trusts which it holds in its inventory, the saleability of the Units and
its estimate of the time required to sell the Units and general market
conditions.
A Unitholder who wishes to dispose of his Units should inquire of his bank
or broker as to current market prices in order to determine if
over-the-counter prices exist in excess of the redemption price and the
repurchase price (see "Redemption").
Sponsor's Profits. In addition to the applicable sales charge, the Sponsor
realizes a profit (or sustains a loss) in the amount of any difference
between the cost of the Stocks to the Sponsor and the price at which it
deposits the Stocks in the Trust in exchange for Units, which is the value of
the Stocks, determined by the Trustee as described under "Valuation". The
cost of Stock to the Sponsor includes the amount paid by the Sponsor for
brokerage commissions. These amounts are an expense of the Trust.
Cash, if any, received from Unitholders prior to the settlement date for
the purchase of Units or prior to the payment for Securities upon their
delivery may be used in the Sponsor's business subject to the limitations of
Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and may be of
benefit to the Sponsor.
In selling any Units in the initial public offering after the Initial Date
of Deposit, the Sponsor may realize profits or sustain losses resulting from
fluctuations in the net asset value of outstanding Units during the period.
In maintaining a secondary market for the Units, the Sponsor may realize
profits or sustain losses in the amount of any differences between the price
at which it buys Units and the price at which it resells or redeems such
Units.
REDEMPTION
Units may be tendered to Investors Bank & Trust Company for redemption at
its office in person, or by mail at One Lincoln Plaza, 89 South Street,
Boston, MA 02111 upon payment of any transfer or similar tax which must be
paid to effect the redemption. At the present time there are no such taxes.
No redemption fee will be charged by the Sponsor or Trustee. If the Units are
represented by a certificate it must be properly endorsed accompanied by a
letter requesting redemption. If held in uncertificated form, a written
instrument of redemption must be signed by the Unitholder. Unitholders must
sign exactly as their names appear on the records of the Trustee with
signatures guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution or in such other
manner as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In certain instances the Trustee
may require additional documents such as, but not limited to, trust
instruments, certificates of death, appointments as executor or
administrator, or certificates of corporate authority. Unitholders should
contact the Trustee to determine whether additional documents are necessary.
Units tendered to the Trustee for redemption will be cancelled, if not
repurchased by the Sponsor.
Units will be redeemed at the Redemption Value per Unit next determined
after receipt of the redemption request in good order by the Trustee. The
Redemption Value per Unit is determined by dividing the Trust Fund Evaluation
by the number of Units outstanding. (See "Valuation".)
A redemption request is deemed received on the business day (see
"Valuation" for a definition of business day) when such request is received
prior to 4:00 p.m. If it is received after 4:00 p.m., it is deemed
14
<PAGE>
received on the next business day. During the period in which the Sponsor
maintains a secondary market for Units, the Sponsor may repurchase any Unit
presented for tender to the Trustee for redemption no later than the close of
business on the second business day following such presentation and
Unitholders will receive the Redemption Value next determined after receipt
by the Trustee of the redemption request. Proceeds of a redemption will be
paid to the Unitholder no later than the seventh calendar day following the
date of tender (or if the seventh calendar day is not a business day on the
first business day prior thereto).
With respect to cash redemptions, amounts representing income received
shall be withdrawn from the Income Account, and, to the extent such balance
is insufficient and for remaining amounts, from the Capital Account. The
Trustee is empowered, to the extent necessary, to sell Securities to meet
redemptions. The Trustee will sell Securities in such manner as is directed
by the Sponsor. In the event no such direction is given, Stock will be sold
pro rata, to the extent possible, and if not possible Stocks having the
greatest amount of capital appreciation will be sold first. (See
"Administration of the Trust".) However, with respect to redemption requests
in excess of $100,000, the Sponsor may determine in its discretion to direct
the Trustee to redeem Units "in kind" by distributing Securities to the
redeeming Unitholder. When Stocks are so distributed, a proportionate amount
of each Stock will be distributed, rounded to avoid the distribution of
fractional shares and using cash or checks where rounding is not possible.
The Sponsor may direct the Trustee to redeem Units "in kind" even if it is
then maintaining a secondary market in Units of the Trust. Securities will be
valued for this purpose as set forth under "Valuation". A Unitholder
receiving a redemption "in kind" may incur brokerage or other transaction
costs in converting the Stock distributed into cash. The availability of
redemption "in kind" is subject to compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
To the extent that Securities are redeemed in kind or sold, the size and
diversity of the Trust will be reduced. Sales will usually be required at a
time when Securities would not otherwise be sold and may result in lower
prices than might otherwise be realized. The price received upon redemption
may be more or less than the amount paid by the Unitholder depending on the
value of the Securities in the portfolio at the time of redemption. In
addition, because of the minimum amounts in which Securities are required to
be sold, the proceeds of sale may exceed the amount required at the time to
redeem Units; these excess proceeds will be distributed to Unitholders on the
Distribution Dates.
The Trustee may, in its discretion, and will, when so directed by the
Sponsor, suspend the right of redemption, or postpone the date of payment of
the Redemption Value, for more than seven calendar days following the day of
tender for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is
closed other than for weekend and holiday closings; or for any period during
which the Securities and Exchange Commission determined that trading on the
New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is restricted or for any period during which an
emergency exists as a result of which disposal or evaluation of the
Securities is not reasonably practicable; or for such other period as the
Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of
Unitholders. The Trustee is not liable to any person or in any way for any
loss or damages which may result from any such suspension or postponement, or
any failure to suspend or postpone when done in the Trustee's discretion.
VALUATION
The Trustee will calculate the Trust's value (the "Trust Fund Evaluation")
per Unit at the Evaluation Time set forth under "Summary of Essential
Information Regarding the Trust" (1) on each business day as long as the
Sponsor is maintaining a bid in the secondary market, (2) on the business day
on which any Unit is tendered for redemption, (3) on any other day desired by
the Sponsor or the Trustee and (4) upon termination, by adding (a) the
aggregate value of the Securities and other assets determined by the
15
<PAGE>
Trustee as set forth below and (b) cash on hand in the Trust and dividends
receivable on Stock trading ex-dividend (other than any cash held in any
reserve account established under the Indenture) and deducting therefrom the
sum of (x) taxes or other governmental charges against the Trust not
previously deducted, (y) accrued fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Sponsor (including legal and auditing expenses) and other Trust expenses. The
per Unit Trust Fund Evaluation is calculated by dividing the result of such
computation by the number of Units outstanding as of the date thereof.
Business days do not include New Year's Day, Washington's Birthday, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day and other days that the New York Stock Exchange is closed.
The value of Stocks shall be determined by the Trustee in good faith in
the following manner: (1) if the domestic Stocks are listed on one or more
national securities exchanges or on the National Market System maintained by
the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System,
such evaluation shall be based on the closing sale price on that day (unless
the Trustee deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation) on the
exchange which is the principal market thereof (deemed to be the New York
Stock Exchange in the case of the domestic Stocks if such Stocks are listed
thereon), (2) if there is no such appropriate closing sales price on such
exchange or system, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on
such exchange or system (unless the Trustee deems such price inappropriate as
a basis for evaluation), (3) if the Stocks are not so listed or, if so listed
and the principal market therefor is other than on such exchange or there are
no such appropriate closing bid and asked prices available, such evaluation
shall be made by the Trustee in good faith based on the closing sale price in
the over-the-counter market (unless the Trustee deems such price
inappropriate as a basis for evaluation) or (4) if there is no such
appropriate closing price, then (a) on the basis of current bid prices, (b)
if bid prices are not available, on the basis of current bid prices for
comparable securities, (c) by the Trustee's appraising the value of the Stock
in good faith on the bid side of the market or (d) by any combination
thereof.
The tender of a Stock pursuant to a tender offer will not affect the
method of valuing Stock.
COMPARISON OF PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE AND REDEMPTION VALUE
On the business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit, the Public
Offering Price per Unit (which figure includes the sales charge) exceeded the
Redemption Value (see "Essential Information"). The prices of the Securities
are expected to vary. For this reason and others, including the fact that the
Public Offering Price includes the sales charge, the amount realized by a
Unitholder upon redemption of Units may be less than the price paid by the
Unitholder for such Units.
EXPENSES OF THE TRUST
The cost of the preparation and printing of the Indenture and this
Prospectus, the initial fees of the Trustee and the Trustee's counsel, and
expenses incurred in establishing the Trust, including legal and auditing
fees (the "Organizational Expenses"), will be paid by the Trust, as is common
for mutual funds. Historically, the Sponsors of Unit Trusts have paid all
organizational expenses. The Sponsor will receive no fee from the Trust for
its services in establishing the Trust.
The Sponsor will receive a fee, which is earned for portfolio supervisory
services, and which is based upon the largest number of Units outstanding
during the calendar year. The Sponsor's fee, which is not to exceed $.0035 per
Unit per calendar year, may exceed the actual costs of providing portfolio
supervisory services for the Trust, but at no time will the total amount it
receives for portfolio supervisory services rendered to all series of the
PaineWebber Equity Trust in any calendar year exceed the aggregate cost to it of
supplying such services in such year.
16
<PAGE>
For its services as Trustee and Evaluator, the Trustee will be paid in
monthly installments, annually $.0170 per Unit, based on the largest number
of Units outstanding during the previous month. In addition, the regular and
recurring expenses of the Trust are estimated to be $.0165 which include, but
are not limited to Organizational Expenses of $.0080 per Unit, and certain
mailing, printing, and audit expenses. Expenses in excess of this estimate
will be borne by the Trust. The Trustee could also benefit to the extent that
it may hold funds in non-interest bearing accounts created by the Indenture.
The Sponsor's fee and Trustee's fee may be increased without approval of
the Unitholders by an amount not exceeding a proportionate increase in the
category entitled "All Services Less Rent" in the Consumer Price Index
published by the United States Department of Labor or, if the Price Index is
no longer published, a similar index as determined by the Trustee and
Sponsor.
In addition to the above, the following charges are or may be incurred by
each Trust and paid from the Income Account, or, to the extent funds are not
available in such Account, from the Capital Account (see "Administration of
the Trust--Accounts"): (1) fees for the Trustee for extraordinary services;
(2) expenses of the Trustee (including legal and auditing expenses) and of
counsel; (3) various governmental charges; (4) expenses and costs of any
action taken by the Trustee to protect the trusts and the rights and
interests of the Unitholders; (5) indemnification of the Trustee for any
loss, liabilities or expenses incurred by it in the administration of the
Trust without gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct on its part;
(6) brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in connection with the
purchase and sale of Securities; and (7) expenses incurred upon termination
of the Trust. In addition, to the extent then permitted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Trust may incur expenses of maintaining registration
or qualification of the Trust or the Units under Federal or state securities
laws so long as the Sponsor is maintaining a secondary market (including, but
not limited to, legal, auditing and printing expenses).
The accounts of the Trust shall be audited not less than annually by
independent public accountants selected by the Sponsor. The expenses of the
audit shall be an expense of the Trust. So long as the Sponsor maintains a
secondary market, the Sponsor will bear any annual audit expense which
exceeds $.0050 per Unit. Unitholders covered by the audit during the year may
receive a copy of the audited financials upon request.
The fees and expenses set forth above are payable out of the Trust and
when unpaid will be secured by a lien on the Trust. Based upon the last
dividend paid prior to the Initial Date of Deposit, dividends on the Stocks
are expected to be sufficient to pay the entire amount of estimated expenses
of the Trust. To the extent that dividends paid with respect to the Stocks
are not sufficient to meet the expenses of the Trust, the Trustee is
authorized to sell Securities to meet the expenses of the Trust. Securities
will be selected in the same manner as is set forth under "Redemption".
RIGHTS OF UNITHOLDERS
Ownership of Units is evidenced by recordation on the books of the
Trustee. In order to avoid additional operating costs and for investor
convenience, certificates will not be issued unless a request, in writing
with signature guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution or in such
other manner as may be acceptable to the Trustee, is delivered by the
Unitholder to the Sponsor. Issued Certificates are transferable by presentation
and surrender to the Trustee at its office in Boston, Massachusetts properly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer.
Uncertificated Units are transferable by presentation to the Trustee at its
office in Boston of a written instrument of transfer.
17
<PAGE>
Certificates may be issued in denominations of one Unit or any integral
multiple thereof as deemed appropriate by the Trustee. A Unitholder may be
required to pay $2.00 per certificate reissued or transferred, and shall be
required to pay any governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with each such transfer or interchange. For new certificates issued to
replace destroyed, mutilated, stolen or lost certificates, the Unitholder
must furnish indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee and must pay such expenses
as the Trustee may incur. Mutilated certificates must be surrendered to the
Trustee for replacement.
DISTRIBUTIONS
The Trustee will distribute net dividends and interest, if any, from the
Income Account on the quarterly Distribution Dates to Unitholders of record
on the preceding Record Date. Distributions from the Capital Account will be
made on annual Distribution Dates to Unitholders of record on the preceding
Record Date. Distributions of less than $.05 per Unit need not be made from
the Capital Account on any Distribution Date. See "Essential Information".
Whenever required for regulatory or tax purposes, the Trustee will make
special distributions of any dividends or capital on special Distribution
Dates to Unitholders of record on special Record Dates declared by the
Trustee.
Upon termination of the Trust, each Unitholder of record on such date will
receive his pro rata share of the amounts realized upon disposition of the
Securities plus any other assets of the Trust, less expenses of the Trust.
(See "Termination".)
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST
Accounts. All dividends and interest received on Securities, proceeds from
the sale of Securities or other moneys received by the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust may be held in trust in non-interest bearing accounts until
required to be disbursed.
The Trustee will credit on its books to an Income Account dividends, if
any, and interest income, on Securities in the Trust. All other receipts
(i.e., return of principal and gains) are credited on its books to a Capital
Account. A record will be kept of qualifying dividends within the Income
Account. The pro rata share of the Income Account and the pro rata share of
the Capital Account represented by each Unit will be computed by the Trustee
as set forth under "Valuation".
The Trustee will deduct from the Income Account and, to the extent funds
are not sufficient therein, from the Capital Account, amounts necessary to
pay expenses incurred by the Trust. (See "Expenses and Charges.") In
addition, the Trustee may withdraw from the Income Account and the Capital
Account such amounts as may be necessary to cover redemption of Units by the
Trustee. (See "Redemption.")
The Trustee may establish reserves (the "Reserve Account") within the
Trust for state and local taxes, if any, and any other governmental charges
payable out of the Trust.
Reports and Records. With any distribution from the Trust, Unitholders
will be furnished with a statement setting forth the amount being distributed
from each account.
The Trustee keeps records and accounts of the Trust at its office in
Boston, including records of the names and addresses of Unitholders, a
current list of underlying Securities in the portfolio and a copy of
the Indenture. Records pertaining to a Unitholder or to the Trust (but not to
other Unitholders) are available to the Unitholder for inspection at
reasonable times during business hours.
Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, commencing
with calendar year 1995, the Trustee will furnish each person who was a
Unitholder at any time during the calendar year an annual
18
<PAGE>
report containing the following information, expressed in reasonable detail both
as a dollar amount and as a dollar amount per Unit: (1) a summary of
transactions for such year in the Income and Capital Accounts and any Reserves;
(2) any Securities sold during the year and the Securities held at the end of
such year; (3) the Trust Fund Evaluation per Unit, based upon a computation
thereof on the 31st day of December of such year (or the last business day
prior thereto); and (4) amounts distributed to Unitholders during such year.
Portfolio Supervision. The portfolio of the Trust is not "managed" by the
Sponsor or the Trustee; their activities described herein are governed solely
by the provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture provides that the Sponsor
may (but need not) direct the Trustee to dispose of a Security:
(1) upon the failure of the issuer to declare or pay anticipated
dividends or interest;
(2) upon the institution of a materially adverse action or proceeding
at law or in equity seeking to restrain or enjoin the declaration or
payment of dividends on any such Securities or the existence of any other
materially adverse legal question or impediment affecting such Securities
or the declaration or payment of dividends on the same;
(3) upon the breach of covenant or warranty in any trust indenture or
other document relating to the issuer which might materially and adversely
affect either immediately or contingently the declaration or payment of
dividends on such Securities;
(4) upon the default in the payment of principal or par or stated
value of, premium, if any, or income on any other outstanding securities
of the issuer or the guarantor of such Securities which might materially
and adversely, either immediately or contingently, affect the declaration
or payment of dividends on the Securities;
(5) upon the decline in price or the occurrence of any materially
adverse credit factors, that in the opinion of the Sponsor, make the
retention of such Securities not in the best interest of the Unitholder;
(6) upon a public tender offer being made for a Security, or a merger
or acquisition being announced affecting a Security that in the opinion of
the Sponsor make the sale or tender of the Security in the best interests
of the Unitholders;
(7) upon a decrease in the Sponsor's internal rating of the Security;
or
(8) upon the happening of events which, in the opinion of the Sponsor,
negatively affect the economic fundamentals of the issuer of the Security
or the industry of which it is a part.
Securities may also be sold in the manner described under "The Trust". The
Trustee may dispose of Securities where necessary to pay Trust expenses or to
satisfy redemption requests as directed by the Sponsor, and the proceeds of
such sale may not be reinvested.
Cash received upon the sale of Stock (including sales to meet redemption
requests) and dividends received will not be reinvested and will be held in a
non-interest bearing account until distribution on the next Distribution Date
to Unitholders of record.
AMENDMENT OF THE INDENTURE
The Indenture may be amended by the Trustee and the Sponsor without the
consent of any of the Unitholders to cure any ambiguity or to correct or
supplement any provision thereof which may be defective or inconsistent or to
make such other provisions as will not adversely affect the interest of the
Unitholders.
19
<PAGE>
The Indenture may be amended in any respect by the Sponsor and the Trustee
with the consent of the holders of 51% of the Units then outstanding;
provided that no such amendment shall (1) reduce the interest in the Trust
represented by a Unit or (2) reduce the percentage of Unitholders required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all Unitholders.
The Trustee will promptly notify Unitholders of the substance of any
amendment affecting Unitholders' rights or their interest in the Trust.
TERMINATION OF THE TRUST
The Indenture provides that the Trust will terminate on the Mandatory
Termination Date. If the value of the Trust as shown by any evaluation is
less than fifty per cent (50%) of the market value of the Stocks upon
completion of the deposit of Stocks, the Trustee may in its discretion, and
will when so directed by the Sponsor, terminate such Trust. The Trust may
also be terminated at any time by the written consent of 51% of the
Unitholders or by the Trustee upon the resignation or removal of the Sponsor
if the Trustee determines termination to be in the best interest of the
Unitholders. In no event will the Trust continue beyond the Mandatory
Termination Date.
Unless advised to the contrary by the Sponsor, approximately 20 days prior
to the termination of the Trust the Trustee will begin to sell the Securities
held in the Trust and will then, after deduction of any fees and expenses of
the Trust and payment into the Reserve Account of any amount required for
taxes or other governmental charges that may be payable by the Trust,
distribute to each Unitholder, after due notice of such termination, such
Unitholder's pro rata share in the Income and Capital Accounts. Moneys held
upon the sale of Securities may be held in non-interest bearing accounts
created by the Indenture until distributed and will be of benefit to the
Trustee. The sale of Securities in the Trust in the period prior to
termination may result in a lower amount than might otherwise be realized if
such sale were not required at such time due to impending or actual
termination of the Trust. For this reason, among others, the amount realized
by a Unitholder upon termination may be less than the amount paid by such
Unitholder.
SPONSOR
The Sponsor, PaineWebber Incorporated, is a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Delaware. The Sponsor is a member firm of the New
York Stock Exchange, Inc. as well as other major securities and commodities
exchanges and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. The Sponsor is engaged in a security and commodity brokerage business as
well as underwriting and distributing new issues. The Sponsor also acts as a
dealer in unlisted securities and municipal bonds and in addition to
participating as a member of various selling groups or as an agent of other
investment companies, executes orders on behalf of investment companies for
the purchase and sale of securities of such companies and sells securities to
such companies in its capacity as a broker or dealer in securities.
The Indenture provides that the Sponsor will not be liable to the Trustee,
the Trust or to the Unitholders for taking any action or for refraining from
taking any action made in good faith or for errors in judgment, but will be
liable only for its own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
willful disregard of its duties. The Sponsor will not be liable or responsible
in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of the sale of any
Securities in the Trust.
The Indenture is binding upon any successor to the business of the
Sponsor. The Sponsor may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to a
corporation or partnership which carries on the business of the Sponsor and
duly assumes all the obligations of the Sponsor under the Indenture. In such
event the Sponsor shall be relieved of all further liability under the
Indenture.
20
<PAGE>
If the Sponsor fails to undertake any of its duties under the Indenture,
becomes incapable of acting, becomes bankrupt, or has its affairs taken over
by public authorities, the Trustee may either appoint a successor Sponsor or
Sponsors to serve at rates of compensation determined as provided in the
Indenture or terminate the Indenture and liquidate the Trust.
TRUSTEE
The Co-Trustees are The First National Bank of Chicago, a national banking
association with its corporate trust office at One First National Plaza,
Suite 0126, Chicago, Illinois 60670-0126 (which is subject to supervision by
the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and Investors Bank
& Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company with its principal office at
One Lincoln Plaza, 89 South Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02111, toll-free
number 800-356-2754 (which is subject to supervision by the Massachusetts
Commissioner of Banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).
The Indenture provides that the Trustee will not be liable for any action
taken in good faith in reliance on properly executed documents or the
disposition of moneys, Securities or Certificates or in respect of any
valuation which it is required to make, except by reason of its own gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, nor will the Trustee be liable
or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of the
sale by the Trustee of any Securities in the Trust. In the event of the
failure of the Sponsor to act, the Trustee may act and will not be liable for
any such action taken by it in good faith. The Trustee will not be personally
liable for any taxes or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect
of the Securities or upon the interest thereon or upon it as Trustee or upon
or in respect of the Trust which the Trustee may be required to pay under any
present or future law of the United States of America or of any other taxing
authority having jurisdiction. In addition, the Indenture contains other
customary provisions limiting the liability of the Trustee. The Trustee will
be indemnified and held harmless against any loss or liability accruing to it
without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part,
arising out of or in connection with its acceptance or administration of the
Trust, including the costs and expenses (including counsel fees) of defending
itself against any claim of liability.

Investments, as of September 13, 1995. This financial statement is the
responsibility of the Co-Trustees. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our
procedures included confirmation with Investors Bank & Trust Company, a
Co-Trustee, of an irrevocable letter of credit deposited for the purchase of
securities, as shown in the financial statement as of September 13, 1995. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the Co-Trustee, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of The PaineWebber Equity
Trust, Growth Stock Series 18 at September 13, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

THIS TRUST INDENTURE AND AGREEMENT dated as of
September 13, 1995 between PaineWebber Incorporated, as Depositor
and Investors Bank & Trust Co. and The First National of Chicago,
as Co-Trustees, which sets forth certain of its provisions in full
and incorporates other of its provisions by reference to a document
entitled "Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust" dated as of July
10, 1990, among the parties hereto (hereinafter called the
"Standard Terms"), such provisions as are set forth in full and
such provisions as are incorporated by reference constituting a
single instrument.
W I T N E S S E T H T H A T :
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have heretofore or
concurrently herewith entered into the Standard Terms in order to
facilitate creation of a series of securities issued under a unit
investment trust pursuant to the provisions of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and the laws of the State of New York, each of
which series will be composed of redeemable securities representing
undivided interests in a trust fund composed of publicly traded
common or preferred stocks issued by domestic companies, and, in
certain cases, interest-bearing United States Treasury Obligations
("Treasury Obligations"); and
WHEREAS, the parties now desire to create the eighteenth
Growth Stock trust of the aforesaid series;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of
the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor and the
Trustee agree as follows:
Section 1. Incorporation of Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2, 3
and 4 of this Trust Indenture and Agreement set forth below, all of
the provisions of the Standard Terms incorporated by reference in
their entirety and shall be deemed to be a part of this instrument
as fully to all intents and purposes as though said provisions had
been set forth in full in this instrument. Unless otherwise
stated, section references shall refer to sections in the Standard
Terms.
Section 2. Specific Terms of this Series. The following
terms are hereby agreed to for this series of The PaineWebber
Equity Trust, which series shall be known and designated as "The
PaineWebber Equity Trust, Growth Stock Series 18".
A. The second paragraph of Section 2.02 is hereby
amended to read as follows:
"From time to time, following the Date of Deposit, the
Sponsor is hereby authorized, in its discretion to cause
the Trustee to issue additional Units upon the purchase
by the Trustee of additional Securities in respect
thereof. In such cases, the Sponsor shall instruct the
Trustee to create a specified number of additional Units
whereupon the Trustee shall purchase and deposit the
additional Securities in respect thereof. Such
additional Securities shall be held, managed and applied
by the Trustee as herein provided. In connection with
each such request to purchase additional Securities, the
Sponsor shall also deliver to the Trustee (i) cash, a
certified check or checks, other cash or equivalents or
an irrevocable letter or letters of credit issued by a
commercial bank or banks, in each case in an amount
necessary to consummate the purchase of any such
additional Securities pursuant to any contracts entered
into pursuant to this Section or (ii) instructions to
purchase such Additional Securities, along with cash, a
certified check or checks, or other cash equivalents, an
irrevocable letter or letters of credit issued by a
commercial bank or banks, in each case in the amount
based upon the price of such Additional Securities on the
date each such additional deposit occurs, multiplied by
the number of Units to be issued. All such amounts will
be based upon the price of such Additional Securities at
the Valuation Time on the date such amounts are
deposited. Such purchase and deposit of Additional
Securities shall be made, in each case, pursuant to a
Supplemental Indenture executed by the Sponsor and the
Trustee. The Trustee in each case shall ensure that each
deposit of Additional Securities pursuant to this Section
shall be made so as to match as close as is practicable
the Percentage Ratios for such Securities determined by
reference to Schedule A of the Trust Indenture for each
Trust Fund and subject to adjustment as provided in the
Standard Terms and the Trust Indenture."
The Securities deposited pursuant to Section 2.02 are comprised of
(1) the Securities set forth in Schedule A hereto, (2) any
Reinvestment Securities (hereinafter defined) which may be
deposited pursuant to paragraph K of this Section 2, and (3)
additional deposits of Securities pursuant to this paragraph A of
this Section 2.
B. (1) The aggregate number of Units outstanding on the
date hereof for this Series is 100,000.
(2) The initial fractional undivided interest
represented by each Unit of this series shall be 1/100,000th of the
Trust Fund. A receipt evidencing the ownership of this total
number of Units outstanding on the date hereof is being delivered
by the Trustee to the Depositor.
C. The term "Record Date" shall mean December 31, 1995
and quarterly thereafter; provided, however, that with respect to a
distribution required by Section 2.02(b), the Record Date shall be
the last business day of the month during which the contract to
purchase the Security fails.
Record Date shall also include such date or dates
determined by the Sponsor and the Trustee as necessary or desirable
and in the best interest of the Unitholders for federal or state
tax purposes, or for other purposes (hereinafter a "Special Record
Date") which date may replace a regularly scheduled Record Date if
such regularly scheduled Record Date is within 30 days of a Special
Record Date.
D. The term "Distribution Date" shall mean January 20, 1996
and quarterly thereafter. With respect to a distribution required by Section
2.02(b), the Distribution Date shall be twenty days after the Record Date with
respect thereto.
In the event a Special Record Date is declared,
Distribution Date shall also include such Date as is determined by
the Sponsor and the Trustee to be the Distribution Date in respect
of such Special Record Date.
E. The Discretionary Liquidation Amount shall be fifty
per centum (50%) of the aggregate value of the Securities
originally deposited on the date hereof and subsequently deposited
pursuant to any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Section 2.02 as
amended by paragraph A of this Section hereof.
F. The Mandatory Termination Date shall be September 20,
2000. Unless advised to the contrary by the Sponsor, the date on
which the Trustee shall begin to sell equity Securities in
accordance with Section 9.01 shall be September 1, 2000.
G. The Trustee's annual compensation as referred to in
Section 8.05 shall be $.0170 per Unit computed monthly based on the
largest number of Units outstanding during the preceding month.
H. The Sponsor's annual compensation pursuant to
Section 7.02 shall be computed as $.0035 per Unit, based on the
largest number of Units outstanding in a calendar year.
I. The balance in the Capital Account below which no
distribution need be made, as referred to in Section 3.04, is $.05
per Unit Outstanding.
J. In the event that the Sponsor directs the Trustee to
distribute Securities in lieu of a cash redemption pursuant to
Section 5.02 of the Standard Terms, the Trustee shall so distribute
Stock in a proportionate amount, rounding to avoid the delivery of
fractional shares and where such rounding is not possible by
delivering Stock and an amount equal to the difference between the
Redemption Value and the value of such Stocks delivered (determined
in accordance with Section 4.01 on the date of tender).
K. If Securities in the Trust are to be sold pursuant
to Section 3.06 or 9.01 of the Standard Terms or Section 2(M)
hereof, the proceeds of such sale may be reinvested by the Trustee,
if in the opinion of the Sponsor it is in the best interests of the
Unitholders and practical to do so, in Treasury Obligations
maturing on or prior to the next succeeding distribution date (the
"Reinvestment Securities"), to the extent permitted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Any proceeds of sale not so
reinvested in Reinvestment Securities shall be distributed to
Unitholders of record on the next Distribution Date. Any
Reinvestment Securities purchased pursuant to this Section 2(K)
shall be deposited into the Trust and shall be subject to the terms
of this Trust Indenture and the Agreement to the same extent as any
Security deposited into the Trust on the Date of Deposit and the
terms "Trust Fund" and "Securities" shall thereafter be defined as
including such Reinvestment Securities. Expenses with respect to
the purchase, including brokerage commissions, if any, of
Reinvestment Securities shall be an expense borne by the Trust.
L. The Percentage Ratios referred to in paragraph A of
this Section hereof shall be subject to adjustment upon (i) a stock
split or a similar event which affects the capital structure of the
issuer of a Security in the Trust; (ii) the Trustee's disposal of a
Security, or other property in respect of a Security, pursuant to
paragraph M of this Section hereof or Section 3.06; (iii) the
purchase of additional Securities pursuant to paragraph A of this
Section hereof or (iv) the purchase of Reinvestment Securities
pursuant to paragraph K of this Section hereof; such that the
Percentage Ratio for each issue shall then equal, as nearly as
possible, the percentage of the aggregate market value of each
issue of Securities in the Trust as of the date immediately
preceding the date of the applicable Supplemental Indenture. In
addition, the Sponsor shall pay to the Trustee for deposit into the
Income Account an amount equal to the estimated net income per Unit
for the number of days from the initial Date of Deposit through the
settlement date for the additional securities, less the aggregate
amount of distributions per Unit from the initial Date of Deposit,
multiplied by the number of new Units created by the deposit of
additional Securities into the Trust Fund. Such amount shall be
paid by the Sponsor.
M. Paragraph (e) of Section 3.06 shall be amended to
read as follows:
"that a decline in price has occurred or such materially
adverse market or credit factors have occurred that, in
the opinion of the Sponsor, the retention of the
Securities would not be in the best interest of the
Unitholders."
N. The first paragraph of Section 3.07 shall not apply
to the Trust.
O. The Trustee will calculate the Trust's value, as
provided in Section 5.01 on the dates set forth in said
Section 4.01 and additionally upon termination (or the last
business day prior thereto). The value of Treasury Obligations, if
any, held in the Trust, pursuant to Section K above, shall be
determined as set forth in Section 4.01 except that for all
purposes such evaluation shall be based on the basis of bid prices
which may be obtained from an evaluation service.
P. In the event that any issuer of a Security in the
Trust issues a stock dividend in lieu of a cash dividend, such
dividend shall be sold by the Trustee, and the proceeds thereof
shall be Income, as defined in the Standard Terms, and shall be
deposited into the Income Account and distributed as of the next
succeeding Distribution Date.
Q. All Units will be held in book-entry form, except
that upon request a Unitholder may receive a certificate
representing beneficial ownership of its Units.
R. The second paragraph of Section 3.05 shall be
amended as follows:
the phrase "Within a reasonable period of time after
the last day of each calendar year. . ." shall be
deleted and the following phrase shall be
substituted therefor: "Within 60 days following the
last day of each calendar year. . ."
S. The text of Section 3.13 shall be deleted and the
following text shall be inserted in its place:
"Section 3.13. Diversification Test. In the case of a
trust which has elected to qualify as a Regulated
Investment Company the Trustee shall determine the value
of the Securities in the Trust Fund as of (1) the Friday
(or the immediately preceding Business Day if such Friday
is not a Business Day) before the last business day of
the first quarter of the Trust Fund's first taxable year
and (2) the last business day of the first quarter of the
Trust Fund's first taxable year. For purposes of this
Section 3.13 each said day and each such day in any
subsequent quarter in which additional Securities are
acquired shall except as the context may otherwise
require, be hereinafter referred to as the
"Diversification Test Date."
On each Diversification Test Date the Trustee shall
determine whether or not the aggregate fair market value
of all Securities of any one issuer valued at greater
than 5% of the total assets of the Trust Fund exceeds 50%
of the total assets of the Trust Fund on such
Diversification Test Date. In making the necessary
computations the Trustee shall compute the fair market
value of the Securities by taking the value of the
Securities in the Trust Fund, including the amount of any
accrued interest or dividends receivable thereon, by
treating as Securities of the same issuer only those
securities whose name so dictates; by treating contracts
to purchase Securities as if the Securities subject to
such contracts had been acquired by the Trust Fund; and
by the settlement of contracts to purchase Securities as
the acquisition of Securities on their respective
settlement dates.
In the event the foregoing determination by the
Trustee states that the aggregate value of Securities of
any one issuer valued at more than 5% of the total assets
of the Trust Fund on the Friday (or the immediately prior
Business Day if such Friday is not a Business Day) before
the last Business Day in the first quarter of the first
taxable year of the Trust Fund exceeds 50% of the total
assets of the Trust Fund on such date, as provided in
Section 3.06, other than for Government Securities, the
Sponsor shall direct the Trustee to sell all or any
portion of the Securities whose value is greater than 50%
of total assets of the Trust Fund or take such other
action as is necessary, so that the aggregate fair market
value of Securities of any one issuer with values greater
than 5% of the total assets of the Trust Fund does not
exceed 50% of the total assets of the Trust Fund on the
last Business Day of the first quarter of the first
taxable year of the Trust Fund. On the last day of the
first quarter of the first taxable year of the Trust Fund
the Trustee shall provide a certificate satisfactory in
form and substance to the Sponsor and its counsel to the
effect that the aggregate fair market value of all
Securities of any one issuer valued at greater than 5% of
the assets does not exceed 50% of the fair market value
of the Trust's total assets on the last day of the
quarter.
In order to ensure the continued qualification of
the Trust as a Regulated Investment Company, the Trustee
shall cause a reivew to be performed by the independent
certified public accountants designated by the Sponsor
pursuant to Section 8.01(e) of the Trust prior to the end
of each calendar year. The purpose of such review shall
be to determine whether the Trust is deriving at least
90% of its gross income, from interest, dividends, and
gains from the sale or other disposition of the
underlying Trust Securities. The Trustee shall submit
the written results of such review to the Sponsor.
In the event that the foregoing review states that
less than 90% of the gross income of the Trust is derived
from interest, dividends and gains from the sale or other
disposition of the underlying Trust Securities the
Sponsor shall direct the Trustee to sell certain of the
Trust Securities pursuant to Section 3.06 in an amount
deemed necessary by the Sponsor to maintain the status of
the Trust as a Regulated Investment Company.
In performing the duties set forth in this Section 3.13,
the Trustee may seek the advice of the independent certified public
accountants designated by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 8.01
hereof and may rely upon the advice of such accountants.
T. For the purpose of this Trust, Section 10.03 shall
be amended so that the text below shall be added to the paragraph
following the last sentence thereof:
"The accounts of the Trust shall be audited not less
than annually by independent public accountants
selected by the Sponsor. So long as the Sponsor is
maintaining a secondary market for Units, the
Sponsor shall bear any audit expense which exceeds
$.0050 per Unit".
3. The Standard Terms shall be amended to permit the Trustee
to charge the Trust and to deduct from the accounts of the Trust
certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
organization of this Trust Series ("Initial Costs"), all to the
effect and in the manner set forth below.
(a) Section 3.04(a) of the Standard Terms shall hereby be
amended as follows:
1. the text of Section 3.04(a) shall be deleted in its
entirety and;
2. the following text set forth below shall be inserted
in replacement of such Section 3.04(a):
"deduct from the Income Account or, to the extent
such funds are not available in such account, from
the Capital Account, and pay to itself individually
the amounts that it is at the time entitled to
receive (i) pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.05 on
account of its services theretofore performed and
expenses, losses and liabilities theretofore
incurred, if any, and (ii) in reimbursement of
advances made, and other amounts paid, by the
Trustee in connection with the organization and
establishment of the Trust in accordance with the
provisions of, and procedures set forth in, Section
10.02."
(b) Section 10.02 of the Standard Terms shall hereby be
amended as follows:
1. the text of Section 10.02 shall be deleted in its
entirety and;
2. the following text set forth below shall be inserted
in replacement of such Section 10.02:
"Section 10.02. Initial Costs (a) The Initial Costs
incurred by the Sponsor and the Trustee in
connection with the organization and establishment
of the Trust shall be paid by the Trust, or if paid
for by the Trustee initially, shall be reimbursed by
the Trust to the Trustee in accordance with Section
3.04(a).
(b) Initial Costs to be charged to the Trust
include, but are not limited to
(1) the costs of the initial preparation,
typesetting and execution of the
registration statement, prospectuses
(including preliminary prospectuses), the
trust indenture and other legal documents
relating to the establishment of the
Trust, and the costs of submitting such
documents in electronic format to the SEC,
(2) SEC and state blue sky registration fees
for the initial registration of Trust
Units,
(3) the cost of the initial audit of the
Trust,
(4) the legal costs incurred by the Sponsor
and the Trustee related to any and all of
the foregoing, and
(5) other out-of-pocket expenses related to
any and all of the foregoing.
(c) Costs and expenses incurred in the marketing
and selling of Trust Units, shall not be borne
by the Trust but shall be paid for by the
Sponsor. Such costs and expenses include but
are not limited to (1) any expenses incurred in
the printing of prospectuses (including
preliminary prospectuses), (2) the preparation
and printing of brochures and other advertising
or marketing materials, including any legal
costs incurred in the review thereof, and (3)
any other selling or promotional costs or
expenses.
(d) Promptly after the Initial Date of Deposit,
upon written certification to the Trustee, the
Sponsor shall receive reimbursement for any of
the Initial Costs set forth in subsection (b)
above which are payable from the Trust but
which were paid for by the Sponsor, without
profit. The Trustee shall advance out of its
own funds such reimbursement, provided, however
that the Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed without interest out of the Trust
Fund for any and all amounts advanced by it
pursuant to this Section 10.02(d), in the
manner set forth in Section 3.04(a). Such
advances shall be considered a lien on the
Trust Fund, and the Trustee shall have a
priority over Certificateholders on funds
received in respect of the Securities in the
Trust, as such funds are received.
(e) The Trustee shall reimburse itself for the
advances made pursuant to subsection (d) above
in 60 approximately equal installments
over a five (5) year period unless the Trust
is sooner terminated, in which case all amounts
still due and owing shall be payable to the
Trustee from the assets of the Trust.
(f) The Sponsor shall bear the Initial Costs, if
any, in excess of $100,000.
Section 4. The Trust hereby elects to qualify as a
Regulated Investment Company under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.

Re: PaineWebber Equity Trust,
Growth Stock Series 18
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have served as counsel for PaineWebber Incorporated as
sponsor and depositor (the "Sponsor") of PaineWebber Equity Trust,
Growth Stock Series 18 (hereinafter referred to as the "Trust") in
connection with the issuance by the Trust of an initial 100,000
units of fractional undivided interest in the Trust (hereinafter
referred to as the "Units").
In this regard, we have examined executed originals or
copies of the following:
(a) The Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, and the By-Laws of the Sponsor, as amended,
certified by the Secretary of the Sponsor on the date
hereof;
(b) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Sponsor adopted on December 3, 1971 relating to the Trust
and the sale of the Units, certified by the Secretary of
the Sponsor on the date hereof;
(c) Resolutions of the Executive Committee of the
Sponsor adopted on September 24, 1984, certified by the
Secretary of the Sponsor on the date hereof;
(d) Powers of Attorney as set forth in the
certificate of the Secretary of the Sponsor dated the
date hereof;
(e) The Registration Statement on Form S-6 (File
No. 33-59119) filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") in accordance with the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder
(collectively, the "1933 Act") and amendments thereto
including Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") proposed to
be filed on September 13, 1995 (the "Registration
Statement");
(f) The Notification of Registration of the Trust
filed with the Commission under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (collectively, the "1940 Act") on
Form N-8A, as amended, (the "1940 Act Notification");
(g) The registration of the Trust filed with the
Commission under the 1940 Act on Form N-8B-2 (File No.
811-5841), as amended (the "1940 Act Registration);
(h) The prospectus included in Amendment No. 3 (the
"Prospectus");
(i) The Standard Terms and Conditions of the Trust
dated as of July 10, 1990, as amended, between the
Sponsor and Investors Bank & Trust Company and The First
National Bank of Chicago (the "Co-Trustees") (the
"Standard Terms");
(j) The Trust Indenture dated as of September 13,
1995 between the Sponsor and the Co-Trustees (the "Trust
Indenture" and, collectively with the Standard Terms, the
"Indenture and Agreement");
(k) The Closing Memorandum dated September 13,
1995, between the Sponsor and the Co-Trustees (the
"Closing Memorandum");
(l) Officers Certificates required by the Closing
Memorandum;
(m) The form of certificate of ownership for units
(the "Certificate") to be issued under the Indenture and
Agreement; and
(n) Such other pertinent records and documents as
we have deemed necessary.
With your permission, in such examination, we have
assumed the following: (a) the authenticity of original documents
and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the
originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (c) the
truth, accuracy, and completeness of the information,
representations, and warranties contained in the records,
documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; (d)
except as specifically covered in the opinions set forth below, the
due authorization, execution, and delivery on behalf of the
respective parties thereto of documents referred to herein and the
legal, valid, and binding effect thereof on such parties; and (e)
the absence of any evidence extrinsic to the provisions of the
written agreement(s) between the parties that the parties intended
a meaning contrary to that expressed by those provisions. However,
we have not examined the securities deposited pursuant to the
Indenture and Agreement (the "Securities") nor the contracts for
the Securities.
We express no opinion as to matters of law in
jurisdictions other than the States of New York and California and
the United States, except to the extent necessary to render the
opinion as to the Sponsor and the Indenture and Agreement in
paragraphs (i) and (iii) below with respect to Delaware law. As
you know we are not licensed to practice law in the State of
Delaware, and our opinion in paragraph (i) and (iii) as to Delaware
law is based solely on review of the official statutes of the State
of Delaware.
Based upon such examination, and having regard for legal
considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:
(i) The Sponsor is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware with full corporate power to conduct its business as
described in the Prospectus;
(ii) The Sponsor is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing as such within the State of New
York;
(iii) The Indenture and Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Sponsor and, assuming the
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, is a
valid and binding agreement of the Sponsor, enforceable against the
Sponsor in accordance with its terms;
(iv) The Trust has been duly formed and is validly
existing as an investment trust under the laws of the State of New
York and has been duly registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940;
(v) The terms and provisions of the Units conform in all
material respects to the description thereof contained in the
Prospectus;
(vi) The consummation of the transactions contemplated
under the Indenture and Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms
thereof will not be in violation of the Sponsor's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or By-Laws, as amended
and will not conflict with any applicable laws or regulations
applicable to the Sponsor in effect on the date hereof;
(vii) The Certificates to be issued by the Trust, when
duly executed by the Sponsor and the Co-Trustees in accordance with
the Indenture and Agreement, upon delivery against payment therefor
as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus will
constitute fractional undivided interests in the Trust enforceable
against the Trust in accordance with their terms, will be entitled
to the benefits of the Indenture and Agreement and will be fully
paid and non-assessable; and
(viii) While the Registration Statement has not yet
become effective we have no reason to believe that such
Registration Statement will not become effective within 30 days
after the date hereof.
In addition, we have participated in conferences with
representatives of the Sponsor, the Co-Trustees, the Trust's
accountants and others concerning the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus and have considered the matters required to be
stated therein and the statements contained therein, although we
have not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or
fairness of such statements. Based upon and subject to the
foregoing, nothing has come to our attention to cause us to believe
that the Registration Statement, as of the date hereof, contained
an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of the
date hereof, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being
understood that we have not been requested to and do not make any
comment in this paragraph with respect to the financial statements,
schedules and other financial and statistical information contained
in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus).
SIGNATURE
Our opinion that any document is valid, binding, or
enforceable in accordance with its terms is qualified as to:
(a) limitations imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, or
other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally;
(b) rights to indemnification and contribution which may
be limited by applicable law or equitable principles; and
(c) general principles of equity, regardless of whether
such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name
wherever it appears in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus.
Very truly yours,
ORRICK, HERRINGTON & SUTCLIFFE

Ladies & Gentlemen:
As counsel for PaineWebber Incorporated (the
"Depositor"), we have examined an executed copy of the Trust
Indenture and Agreement dated as of September 13, 1995 (the
"Indenture") and Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, dated as
of July 10, 1990 (the "Agreement"), both between the Depositor, and
Investors Bank & Trust Company and The First National Bank of
Chicago as Co-Trustees. The Indenture established a trust called
The PaineWebber Equity Trust, Growth Stock Series 18 (the "Trust")
into which the Depositor deposited certain stocks, (the "Securities"), and
moneys to be held by the Trustee upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture and Agreement. Under the Indenture, units were issued
representing fractional undivided interests in the Trust (the
"Units").
Based upon the foregoing and upon an examination of such
other documents and an investigation of such matters of law as we
have deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that, under existing
statutes and decisions:
SIGNATURE
1. The Trust intends to qualify for and elect tax
treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Assuming that such
election is made and the Trust so qualifies, the Trust would not be
subject to federal income tax on such part of its net income and
capital gain, if any, as is timely distributed to Unitholders.
2. The Trust will be subject to New York State and New
York City franchise and income tax. However, in any fiscal year in
which the Trust qualifies as a regulated investment company under
Section 851 of the Code, and in which the Trust distributes all of
its net income and capital gains to Unitholders, the sum of such
New York State and New York City tax to which the Trust will be
subject will not exceed $675.00.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement (File No. 33-59119) relating
to the Units referred to above and to the use of our name and to
the reference to our firm in said Registration Statement and in the
related Prospectus.
Very truly yours,
ORRICK, HERRINGTON & SUTCLIFFE
