PAINEWEBBER EQUITY TRUST
Growth Stock Series 22
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The investment objective of this Trust is to provide for capital
appreciation through an investment in equity stocks having, in Sponsor's
opinion on the Initial Date of Deposit, an above-average potential for
capital appreciation because the issuers thereof may be attractive candidates
for acquisitions. PaineWebber believes that merger and acquisition activity
is likely to accelerate over the next few years, leading to a "power grab"
for attractive acquisition candidates. The value of the Units will fluctuate
with the value of the portfolio of underlying securities.
The minimum purchase is $250. Only whole Units may be purchased.

(2) The Public Offering Price will be based upon the value of the Stocks
next computed following receipt of the purchase order plus the
applicable sales charges. Following the Initial Date of Deposit, costs
incurred in connection with the acquisition of additional Stocks will be
at the expense of the Trust. (See "Essential Information Regarding the
Trust--Additional Deposits," "Risk Factors and Special Considerations"
and "Valuation").
(3) The Initial Sales Charge is 2% per 1,000 units. In addition, eight
quarterly Deferred Sales Charges of .25% will be deducted from the
Trust's net asset value during the second and third years of the Trust's
[five year] life. The sales charge is reduced on purchases of $250,000
or more. See "Public Offering of Units--Sales Charge and Volume
Discount".
(4) See "Distributions".
(5) This Trust (and therefore the investors) will bear all or a portion of
its organizational costs--including costs of preparing the initial
registration statement, the trust indenture and other closing documents,
registering Units with the SEC and the states and the initial audit of
the Portfolio--as is common for mutual funds. Historically, the sponsors
of unit investment trusts have paid all the costs of establishing those
trusts.
(6) See "Expenses of the Trust". Estimated dividends from the Stocks, based
upon last dividends actually paid, are expected by the Sponsor to be
sufficient to pay estimated expenses of the Trust. If such dividends and
income paid are insufficient to pay expenses, the Trustee is authorized
to sell Securities in an amount sufficient to pay such expenses. (See
"Administration of the Trust" and "Expenses of the Trust".)

<PAGE>
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRUST (CONTINUED)
THE TRUST. The objective of the PaineWebber Equity Trust, Growth Stock
Series 22 (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,
because the issuers thereof may be attractive candidates for acquisition
(referred to herein as the "Stocks" or the "Securities"). OF COURSE, THERE
CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE OBJECTIVE OF THE TRUST WILL BE ACHIEVED.
PaineWebber believes that many companies present attractive opportunities
to acquirors and on the Initial Date of Deposit has identified issuers of
Stocks contained in the Trust as potential candidates for acquisition. The
Trust will seek to achieve its objective of capital appreciation through an
investment in a diversified portfolio of such Stocks. PaineWebber believes
that merger and acquisition ("M&A") activity will accelerate for the reasons
described below under the heading "The Composition of the Portfolio."
SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS. There are certain investment risks inherent in
unit trust portfolios which hold equity securities. The Stocks 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.
There can also be no assurance that the Trust portfolio will remain
constant during the life of the Trust. For example, the Trustee may be
required to sell Securities to pay for the expenses of the Trust (see
"Expenses of the Trust" and "Administration of the Trust--Accounts"). Also,
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.

<PAGE>
THE COMPOSITION OF THE PORTFOLIO.
THE ACQUISITION ACCELERATION
PaineWebber believes that M&A (merger and acquisition) activity is strong
and likely to become even stronger--probably surpassing the late 1980s peak
levels--because acquisitions offer a source of sales growth at a time when a
muted business cycle and deflationary pressures make it very difficult to
raise prices. PaineWebber identifies two ways to invest in this trend: a)
companies that are adept at growing via acquisition and b) companies that are
likely to be acquired at a premium to their market price. M&A activity should
accelerate because companies need to do deals to grow sales, and they have
the ability to do them.
PaineWebber's research analysts have selected certain stocks in the
industries listed below which they believe are likely acquisition candidates
over the next several years. In PaineWebber's search for such 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."
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
APPROXIMATE PERCENT OF AGGREGATE
PRIMARY INDUSTRY SOURCE MARKET VALUE OF THE TRUST
- --------------------------- ------------------------------------
<S> <C>
</TABLE>
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, as closely as practicable, 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 will be borne by the Trust. Unitholders 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. 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. Units will be charged a combination of an Initial
Sales Charge on the date of purchase of 2.0% of the Public Offering Price,
plus Deferred Sales Charges which will aggregate $20.00 per 1,000 Units over
the second and third years of the Trust. For example, on a $1,000 investment,
$980.00 is invested in the Trust and $20.00 Initial Sales Charge is
collected. In addition, a Deferred Sales charge of $2.50 per 1,000 Units will
be deducted from the Trust's net asset value each quarter in years two (2)
and three (3) of the Trust for a total of $20.00. This deferred method of
payment
4
<PAGE>
keeps more of the investor's money invested over a longer period of time than
would be the case if a single sales charge of the same amount were collected
on the initial date of purchase. The Initial 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. Units
redeemed or repurchased prior to the accrual of the final deferred sales
charge installment will have any amount of any remaining installments
deducted from the redemption or repurchase proceeds or deducted in
calculating an in-kind redemption. (See "Public Offering of Units".)
DISTRIBUTIONS. The Stocks in the Trust were chosen for their potential as
acquisition candidates, not for their income potential. The Trustee will make
distributions, on the Distribution Dates. (See "Distributions" and
"Administration of the Trust".) Unitholders may elect to have their Income
Account distributions automatically reinvested into additional Units of the
Trust at no sales charge (see "Reinvestment Plan"). 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" 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".)
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, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The objective of the Trust is capital
appreciation through an investment principally in equity stocks having, in
Sponsor's opinion on the Initial Date of Deposit, potential for capital
appreciation. Of course, there can be no assurance that the objective of the
Trust will be achieved.
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 Securities 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 each issue of
- ------------
*Reference is hereby made to said Trust Indenture and Agreement and any
statements contained herein are qualified in their entirety by the provisions
of said Trust Indenture and Agreement.

<PAGE>
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
or pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan, 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 issued in
lieu of cash dividends, if any, received by the Trust will be sold by the
Trustee and the proceeds therefrom shall be added to the Income Account. (See
"Administration of the Trust" and "Reinvestment Plan").
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 or pursuant to the Reinvestment
Plan), 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".)
The Stocks have been selected for their capital appreciation potential in
light of the Sponsor's opinion, on the Initial Date of Deposit, that the
issuers of such 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.
Because the Stocks have been selected with a view to potential
acquisition, the Indenture sets forth criteria to be applied in the event of
a tender offer, merger or reorganization. The Trust is not managed and has
been structured with certain automatic provisions contained in the Indenture.
The foregoing may interfere with the Trust's ability to maximize its
objectives and, consequently, a Unitholder's value. In such case, Unitholders
shall have no rights against the Trust, the Sponsor, the Trustee or any other
party associated with the Trust. The foregoing is not a disclaimer of
responsibilities under Section 36 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
In the event a tender offer is made for a Stock, on the third business day
prior to the expiration of the best tender offer then in effect, as
determined by the Sponsor, the Sponsor will instruct the Trustee, and the
Trustee will, tender the Stock; provided, however that the Trustee will sell
the Stock on such date if it can realize at least 90% of the value of the
price to be paid pursuant to the tender offer (such value to be determined by
the Sponsor) except where the best tender offer is an offer for any and all
outstanding Stock and is not conditioned upon the offeror's receipt of
financing. In the event the Trustee has tendered and, in Sponsor's opinion, a
better offer is made prior to the expiration of the prior offer, the Trustee
will
6
<PAGE>
use its best efforts to exercise its withdrawal rights and follow the
procedures set forth in the preceding sentence. Upon consummation of the
tender offer, in the event any of the Stock tendered is not purchased (which
could occur if such Stock is excluded due to pro rationing) the Trustee will
sell the Stock as soon as practicable. Any securities received pursuant to a
consummated tender offer will be sold by the Trustee as soon as practicable.
If a tender offer fails, the Stock will be returned to the Trust. The
Trustee, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, will not tender or sell any
Stock subject to a tender offer during any period in which the Trustee is
purchasing Stock to create additional Units, except in those cases where,
pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan, the Trustee creates additional Units on an
Income Account Distribution Date. In such event, the Trustee shall not
include such Stock subject to sale or tender on such date in the deposit of
additional Securities but shall adjust the Percentage Ratios so that the
Trust's percentage ownership shall be allocated on a pro-rata basis to the
remaining Securities held in the Trust Fund.
In the event an issuer of a Stock announces a proposed merger into another
company and certain compensation is to be paid in exchange for the Stock, or
in the event the issuer of a Stock announces a sale of substantially all of
its assets, the Trustee will sell the Stock if it can realize 90% of the
value to be received by shareholders upon completion of the merger or sale
(such value to be determined by the Sponsor). If the Trust holds the Stock
upon completion of the merger, any securities received as compensation will
be sold by the Trustee as soon as practicable. In the event an issuer of
Stock announces that another company will be merged into it, the Stock of
such issuer will be retained unless the Sponsor directs the Trustee to sell
the Stock for reasons set forth under the heading "Administration of the
Trust--Portfolio Supervision." In the event of a corporate reorganization any
securities received by the Trust will be sold as soon as practicable.
In its investment banking, underwriting or merchant banking activities the
Sponsor may acquire material non-public information about an issuer of Stocks
in the Trust. Use of this information by the Sponsor in connection with the
Trust may constitute a violation of the federal securities laws. Therefore,
in order to avoid the possible use of this information there may be
circumstances where the Sponsor is unable to give advice to the Trust,
including advice on the value of a transaction or whether an offer is the
best offer. In such case the Sponsor shall immediately advise the Trustee of
its inability and, in such event, (a) with respect to a tender offer, the
Trustee is required to sell the applicable Stock as close to the opening of
the stock exchanges as is practicable on the last business day a tender offer
is in effect and (b) with respect to a sale of substantially all of an
issuer's assets or its merger into another issuer, the Trust will continue to
hold the Stocks.
In most circumstances the Trust has been structured to provide for the
sale of Stock at 90% of the value to be received upon completion of a tender,
merger or acquisition in order to provide the Trust a price close to the
price which could be received in the future if certain conditions to such
completion are met. The percentage accommodates a discount reflecting the
time value of money and the uncertainties of the tender, merger or
acquisition taking place.
There is no guarantee that there will be a tender offer for any of the
Stocks, or merger or acquisition of any of the issuers whose stock is
contained in the Trust. In addition, it is possible that legislation or
regulations affecting merger and acquisition activity in the future may be
passed and, if passed, the Sponsor cannot predict the impact upon the Trust.
There is also no guarantee that the price received upon sale or pursuant to
an acquisition will be the best price which could be received by the Trust at
any time. For example, after stock is sold, the value may increase due to
general market factors or due to subsequent tender offers. Additionally, the
price of a Stock may decline for Stocks not taken up pursuant to a tender
offer or in the event a merger or acquisition is not completed.

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 Stocks 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 closely as
possible to the Evaluation Time or at prices as closely 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 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
ABOVE UNDER THE CAPTION "THE TRUST" 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".)
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, subject to certain
conditions and requirements, the Trust will not be subject to federal income
tax to the extent its income is distributed to Unitholders in a timely
manner. Any undistributed income may be subject to tax, including a four
percent (4%) excise tax imposed by Section 4982 of the Code on certain
undistributed income of a regulated investment company that does not
distribute to shareholders in a timely manner at least ninety-eight percent
(98%) of its taxable income (including capital gains). The Trust intends to
distribute all of its income, including capital gains, annually.
The gross income of the Trust typically will include dividends, interest
and gains on sales or other dispositions of Securities. In order to qualify
as a "regulated investment company", the Trust must, among other things (1)
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 herein as "eligible sources"), (2) meet
certain diversification tests, and (3) distribute in each year at least 90%
of its investment company taxable income. 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.
In any taxable year, the distributions of any ordinary income (such as
dividends) and the excess of net short-term capital gains over net long-term
capital losses 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 for, and only to the extent of, a specific
designation by the Trust.
9
<PAGE>
Distributions by the Trust that are designated by it as "net capital gain"
will be taxable to Unitholders as long-term capital gain, 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 treated
as a gain from the sale of his Units. 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 to the extent of any
long-term capital gain distributions paid to such Unitholder with respect to
such Units.
Under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, capital gains realized on the sale
of property held for more than one year but not more than eighteen months are
considered "mid-term gains." In the case of individuals, mid-term gains are
taxed at lower rates than ordinary income, but not as favorably as capital
gains on property held for more than eighteen months. The Trustee will
identify in the annual tax information statement mailed to Unitholders the
portion of capital gain dividends which are considered mid-term gains.
Unitholders will be taxed in the manner described above regardless of
whether distributions from the Trust are actually received by the Unitholder
or are reinvested pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan.
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 of taxation 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 Securities, 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 Charge and Volume Discount. Units will be charged a Total Sales
Charge of 4.00% per 1,000 Units which is a combination of the Initial and
Deferred Sales Charges. In the first year, the Initial Sales Charge will be
$20.00 per 1,000 Units (2.00% of the Public Offering Price). Commencing in the
second and continuing through the end
10
<PAGE>
of the third year, the annual Deferred Sales Charge per 1,000 Units will be
$10, approximately 1.00% of the Public Offering Price. Because the annual
Deferred Sales Charge per 1,000 Units in the second and third years is $10.00
regardless of the price you pay for Units, the Total Sales Charge expressed as
a percentage of the Public Offering Price will vary with the price you pay to
purchase Units. So, for example, if you buy 1,000 Units for $1,000 (including
the Initial Sales Charge of $20.00 and hold the Unit until the Trust
terminates, you will pay a Total Sales Charge of $40.00 or 4.00% of the
acquisition price for such Unit. If, however, you buy 1,000 Units for $950.00
(including the Initial Sales Charge of $20.00), you will pay a Total Sales
Charge of $40.00 or 4.21% of the acquisition price for such Units.
The annual Deferred Sales Charge is a charge of $2.50 per 1,000 Units and
is accrued in four quarterly installments each year of the Trust for the
second and third full years of the life of the Trust ($10.00 annual total).
Units redeemed or repurchased prior to the accrual of the final Deferred
Sales Charge installment will have the amount of any installments remaining
deducted from the redemption or repurchase proceeds or deducted in
calculating an in-kind redemption, although this deduction will be waived in
the event of death or disability (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) of
an investor.
It is anticipated that the Securities will not be sold to pay the Deferred
Sales Charges until after the date of the final installment in each year of
the Trust. Investors will be at risk for market price fluctuations in the
Securities from the several installment accrual dates to the dates of actual
sales of Securities to satisfy this liability. In selling the Securities the
Trustee will attempt to minimize any current tax liability for current
Unitholders.
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 volume purchasers of
Units is reduced on a graduated scale as set forth below for sales made on a
single day to any person of at least $250,000 or 250,000 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.
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 NOT 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.
11
<PAGE>
No sales charge will be imposed on Units of the Trust acquired by
Unitholders in connection with participation in the Reinvestment Plan (see
"Reinvestment Plan").
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 $1.00 per 1,000
Units, subject only to the Deferred Sales Charges remaining on the Units
received.
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.
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 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.
12
<PAGE>
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.
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 $250. Only whole Units may be purchased.
13
<PAGE>
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.
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.
14
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION
Units may be tendered to Investors Bank & Trust Company for redemption at
its office in person, or by mail at Hancock Towers, 200 Clarendon Street,
Boston, MA 02116 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 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, Stocks 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 Stocks 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 Stocks 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
15
<PAGE>
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 Trustee
as set forth below, (b) cash on hand in the Trust, including dividends
receivable on Stock trading ex-dividend and income accrued held but not yet
distributed (other than any cash held in any reserve account established
under the Indenture or cash held for the purchase of Contract Securities) and
(c) accounts receivable for Securities sold and any other assets of the Trust
not included in (a) and (b) above, and deducting therefrom the sum of (v)
taxes or other governmental charges against the Trust not previously
deducted, (w) accrued fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Sponsor
(including legal and auditing expenses) and other Trust expenses (x) cash
allocated for distributions to Unitholders and (y) accounts payable for Units
tendered for redemption and any other liabilities of the Trust Fund not
included in (v), (w), (x) and (y) above. 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
Saturdays, Sundays, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents'
Day, 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,
16
<PAGE>
(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 such Stock.
COMPARISON OF PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE AND REDEMPTION VALUE
The Stocks are valued on the same basis for the initial and secondary
markets and for purposes of redemptions. On the business day prior to the
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 Stocks 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 $.00035
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.
For its services as Trustee and Evaluator, the Trustee will be paid in
monthly installments, annually $.00170 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 $.00187 which include,
but are not limited to Organizational Expenses of $.00080 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
the 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 Trust 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
17
<PAGE>
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 financial statements 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
and income received on the Treasury Obligations 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.
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 $.00500 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.
If and to the extent that the Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, receives a
favorable response to a no-action letter request which it intends to submit
to the Division of Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") with respect to reinvesting cash proceeds received by
18
<PAGE>
the Trust, the Trustee may reinvest such cash proceeds in additional
Securities held in the Trust Fund at such time. Such reinvestment shall be
made so that each deposit of additional Securities shall be made so as to
match as closely as practicable the percentage relationships of shares of
Stocks and such reinvestment shall be made in accordance with the parameters
set forth in the no-action letter response. If the Sponsor and the Trustee
determine that it shall be necessary to amend the Indenture to comply with
the parameters set forth in the no-action letter response, such documents may
be amended without the consent of Unitholders. There can be no assurance that
the Sponsor will receive a favorable no-action letter response.
Unitholders may elect to have their Income Account distributions
automatically reinvested into additional Units of the Trust at no sales
charge. (See "Reinvestment Plan").
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 of the Trust".)
REINVESTMENT PLAN
Income Account distributions on Units may be reinvested by participating
in the Trust's Reinvestment Plan (the "Reinvestment Plan"). To participate in
the Reinvestment Plan, a Unitholder must contact his broker, dealer or
financial institution to determine whether he may participate in the
Reinvestment Plan. Under the Reinvestment Plan, the Units acquired for
current Unitholders will be either Units already held in inventory by the
Sponsor or new Units created by the Sponsor's deposit of additional
Securities, contracts to purchase additional Securities or cash (or a bank
letter of credit in lieu of cash) with instructions to purchase additional
Securities. Deposits or purchases of additional Securities will be made so as
to maintain the percentage relationships of shares of Stocks, except as
discussed under "The Trust". Purchases made pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan
will be made without any sales charge at the net asset value for Units of the
Trust. Under the Reinvestment Plan, the Trust will pay the distributions to
the Trustee which in turn will purchase for those participating Unitholders
whole Units of the Trust at the price determined as of the close of business
on the Distribution Date and will add such Units to the Unitholder's account.
The Unitholder's account statement will reflect the reinvestment. The Trustee
will not issue fractional Units, thus any cash remaining after purchasing the
maximum number of whole Units will be distributed to the Unitholder.
Unitholders wishing to terminate their participation in the Reinvestment Plan
must notify their broker, dealer or financial institution of such decision.
The Sponsor reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Reinvestment
Plan at any time without prior notice.
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
19
<PAGE>
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 a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year,
commencing with calendar year 1998, the Trustee will furnish each person who
was a Unitholder at any time during the calendar year an annual 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 under the
following circumstances:
(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 or interest 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 or interest 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 decrease in the Sponsor's internal rating of the Security;
(7) if the sale of such Securities is desirable to maintain the
qualification of the Trust Fund as a "regulated investment company"; or
20
<PAGE>
(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 tendered or sold in the event of a tender offer,
merger or acquisition in the manner described under "The Trust." The Trustee
may also dispose of Securities where necessary to pay Trust expenses,
Deferred Sales Charge installments or to satisfy redemption requests as
directed by the Sponsor and in a manner necessary to maximize the objectives
of the Trust, or if not so directed in its own discretion, and Stocks having
the greatest appreciation shall be sold first.
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.
The Indenture may also be amended by the Trustee and the Sponsor without
the consent of any of the Unitholders to implement a program to reinvest cash
proceeds received by the Trust in connection with corporate actions and in
other situations, when and if the Sponsor receives a favorable response to
the no-action letter request which it intends to submit to the Division of
Investment Management at the SEC discussed above (see "Distributions"). There
can be no assurance that a favorable no-action letter response will be
received.
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
21
<PAGE>
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.
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 Trustee is Investors Bank & Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust
company with its principal office at Hancock Towers, 200 Clarendon Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02116, 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
22
<PAGE>
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.

estimates made by the 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
