Trust.
* The sales charge will be reduced on a graduated scale in the case of
quantity purchases. Additionally, sales charges will be reduced each quarter
during the first year of the Trust. Commencing October 2, 1995, the maximum
sales charge will be 3.00%; commencing January 2, 1996 the maximum sales charge
will be 2.00% and commencing April 1, 1996 the sales charge will be 1.00%. See

** All redemptions of 50,000 Units or more may, upon request by a redeeming
Holder, be made in kind to the Distribution Agent, who will either forward the
distributed securities to the Holder or sell the securities on behalf of the
redeeming Holder and distribute the proceeds (net of any brokerage commission
or other expenses incurred in the sale) to the Holder. See Redemption.

UNCOMMON VALUES TRUST, 1995 SERIES
INVESTMENT SUMMARY AS OF JULY 5, 1995 (CONTINUED)
OBJECTIVE OF THE TRUST -- The objective of the Trust is to provide investors
with the possibility of capital appreciation through a convenient and cost-
effective investment in a fixed portfolio consisting of shares of the 15 common
stocks (the "Securities") selected by the Sponsor for the 1995 Trust portfolio
(the "Portfolio"). The Sponsor has selected for the Portfolio stocks which it
considers to have the best possibility for capital appreciation over a period
of one year relative to risks and opportunities. The payment of dividends is
not a primary objective of the Trust. Achievement of the Trust's objective is
dependent upon several factors including the financial condition of the issuers
of the Securities and any appreciation of the Securities. Furthermore, because
of Trust sales charges and expenses, unequal weightings of stocks, brokerage
costs and possible delays in purchasing securities with cash deposited and
other factors, investors in the Trust may not realize as high a total return as
the theoretical performance of the underlying stocks in the Portfolio.
PORTFOLIO -- The Portfolio contains 15 common stocks issued by companies
engaged primarily in the following industries: banks/financial institutions, 1;
brewery, 1; computer systems, 1; construction equipment, 1; consumer services,
1; copper production, 1; food retailer, 1; medical devices, 1; natural gas, 1;
office equipment, 2; personal hygiene, 1; restaurant chain,1;
telecommunications, 2. The brewery issue is a foreign issue. Although there are
certain risks of price volatility associated with investment in common stocks
(particularly with an investment in one or two common stocks), your risk is
reduced because your capital is divided among 15 stocks from 13 different
industry groups. (See Risk Factors.)
The initial purchase of Securities will not necessarily represent equal
dollar amounts of each of the 15 Securities; however, with the initial deposit
of Securities, the Sponsor established a proportionate relationship among the
number of shares of each stock deposited in the Portfolio. During the 90-day
period following the Initial Date of Deposit, the Sponsor may create additional
Units by depositing cash (or a bank letter of credit in lieu of cash) with
instructions to purchase Securities, additional Securities or contracts to
purchase additional Securities maintaining to the extent practicable the
original proportionate relationship among the number of shares of each stock in
the Portfolio. Replacement Securities may be acquired under specified
conditions. It may not be possible to maintain the exact original proportionate
relationship among the Securities deposited on the Initial Date of Deposit
because of, among other reasons, purchase requirements, changes in price or the
unavailability of Securities. Any deposits of Securities after the 90-day
period must replicate exactly the proportionate relationship among the number
of shares comprising the Portfolio at the end of the initial 90-day period,
subject to certain events discussed under Administration of the Trust--Trust
Supervision. The Sponsor may cease creating Units (temporarily or permanently)
at any time. (See Administration of the Trust -- Trust Supervision.)
RISK FACTORS -- Investment in the Trust should be made with an understanding
that the value of the underlying Securities, and therefore the value of the
Units, will fluctuate, depending on the full range of economic and market
influences which may affect the market value of the Securities, including the
profitability and financial condition of issuers, conditions in a given
issuer's industry, market conditions and values of common stocks generally, the
impact of the Sponsor's buying and selling Securities, especially during the
initial offering of Units of the Trust or to satisfy redemptions of Units, and
other factors.
The Trust is not appropriate for investors requiring high current income or
conservation of capital. Securities representing approximately 27% of the value
of the Portfolio have been ranked High Risk by the Sponsor's Research
Department, described as "low predictability of earnings/dividends; high price
volatility"; Securities representing approximately 7% of the value of the
Portfolio have been ranked Speculative, described as "exceptionally low
predictability of earnings/dividends; highest risk of price volatility".
If cash (or a letter of credit in lieu of cash) is deposited with
instructions to purchase Securities in connection with the issuance of
additional Units during the Public Offering Period, there is the risk that the
price of a Security will increase between the time of the deposit and the time
the Security is purchased resulting in a
3
<PAGE>
UNCOMMON VALUES TRUST, 1995 SERIES
INVESTMENT SUMMARY AS OF JULY 5, 1995 (CONTINUED)
reduction in the number of shares purchased for the Portfolio. Price
fluctuations during the period from the time of deposit of cash to the time the
Securities are purchased, and payment of brokerage fees, will affect the value
of every Holder's Units, the number of shares of each Security represented by
each Unit and the income per Unit received by the Trust. Some of the Securities
may have limited trading volume, and, while the Sponsor will endeavor to
purchase Securities with deposited cash as soon as practicable, it reserves the
right to purchase those Securities over the 20 following business days in an
effort to reduce the effect of these purchases on the market price of those
stocks. This could, however, result in the Trust's failure to participate in
any appreciation of those stocks before the cash is invested. If any cash
remains at the end of this period and cannot be invested in one or more stocks
at what the Sponsor considers reasonable prices, it intends to use that cash to
purchase each of the other securities in the original proportionate
relationship among those securities. Similarly, at termination of the Trust,
the Sponsor reserves the right to sell Securities over a period of up to 20
business days to lessen the impact of its sales on the market price of the
Securities. The proceeds received by Holders following termination of the Trust
will reflect the actual sales proceeds received on the Securities, which will
likely differ from the closing sale price on the Mandatory Termination Date.
(See Description of the Trust -- Risk Factors.)
Common stocks may be especially susceptible to general stock market movements
and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and
perceptions of the issuers change. Investors should be aware that there can be
no assurance that the value of the underlying Securities will increase or that
the issuers of the Securities will pay dividends on outstanding shares. Any
distributions of income to Holders will generally depend upon the declaration
of dividends by the issuers of the Securities and the declaration of any
dividends depends upon several factors including the financial condition of the
issuers and general economic conditions.
Unlike a mutual fund, the Portfolio is not actively managed and the Sponsor
receives no management fee. Therefore, the adverse financial condition of an
issuer will not necessarily require the sale of Securities from the Portfolio
or mean that the Sponsor will not continue to purchase the Security in order to
create additional Units. Investors should note in particular that the
Securities were selected on the basis of the criteria set forth above under
Objectives of the Trust and that the Trust may continue to purchase or hold
Securities originally selected through this process even though the evaluation
of the attractiveness of the Securities may have changed. In the event a public
tender offer is made for a Security or a merger or acquisition is announced
affecting a Security, the Sponsor may instruct the Trustee to tender or sell
the Security on the open market when, in its opinion, it is in the best
interest of the holders of the Units to do so. Although the Portfolio is
regularly reviewed and evaluated and the Sponsor may instruct the Trustee to
sell Securities under certain limited circumstances, Securities will not be
sold by the Trust to take advantage of market fluctuations or changes in
anticipated rates of appreciation. The Sponsor has currently assigned certain
rankings to the issuers of Securities based on stock performance expectations
and level of risk (see footnote 3 to Portfolio on page 7). These rankings are
subject to change. Securities will not necessarily be sold by the Trust based
on a change in rankings, although the Sponsor intends to review the
desirability of holding any Security if its ranking is reduced below 3. The
prices of single shares of each of the Securities in the Trust vary widely, and
the effect of a dollar of fluctuation, either higher or lower, in stock prices
will be much greater as a percentage of the lower-price stocks' purchase price
than as a percentage of the higher-price stocks' purchase price.
Investors should note that should the size of the Trust be reduced below the
Minimum Value of Trust stated on page 2 the Trust may be terminated at that
time by the Sponsor, well before the Mandatory Termination Date of the Trust.
Any difference between the aggregate prices the Sponsor paid to acquire the
Securities and the aggregate prices at which Securities were initially
deposited in the Trust is noted on page 2 under Sponsor's Profit or (Loss) on
Deposit. The Sponsor's profit on the deposit of Securities largely depends on
whether the Securities' prices rise in response to the Sponsor's purchases of
possibly large volumes of the Securities for initial and subsequent
4
<PAGE>
UNCOMMON VALUES TRUST, 1995 SERIES
INVESTMENT SUMMARY AS OF JULY 5, 1995 (CONTINUED)
deposits in the Trust. The effect of the Sponsor's purchases of Securities on
the prices of the Securities is unpredictable.
FOREIGN SECURITIES AND AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS -- The Trust may contain
Securities of foreign issuers or American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") for
securities that have been issued by non-United States issuers. These
instruments are subject to special considerations in addition to those
affecting common stocks of United States issuers. For a discussion of special
considerations relating to foreign securities and ADRs, see Description of the
Trust -- Risk Factors; Taxes.
PRIVATE PLACEMENTS; UNDERWRITING -- None of the Securities in the Trust
consists of privately-placed common stocks. Except as indicated under
Portfolio, the Sponsor has not participated as sole underwriter, managing
underwriter or member of an underwriting syndicate from which any of the
Securities in the Trust were acquired.
PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE -- The Public Offering Price per 1,000 Units is equal
to the aggregate value of the underlying Securities and any cash held to
purchase Securities, divided by the number of Units outstanding times 1,000,
plus a sales charge of 4.00%* of the Public Offering Price; this results in a
sales charge of 4.167%* of the net amount invested in underlying Securities.
Units are offered at the Public Offering Price plus the net amount per Unit in
the Income Account (see Public Sale of Units). The minimum purchase is $1,000
(or $250 in the case of purchases by Individual Retirement Accounts, Keogh
plans, pension funds and other tax-deferred retirement plans). Investors should
note that the Public Offering Price of Units varies each business day with the
value of the underlying Securities. There is no "par value" for Units.
INCOME DISTRIBUTIONS -- Distributions of dividends (net of expenses) and any
principal received by the Trust will be automatically reinvested in additional
Units of the Trust at no extra charge and each Holder of Units will participate
unless the Holder elects to receive distributions of dividends or principal, or
both, in cash. Holders who reinvest their distributions will receive additional
Units and will therefore own a greater percentage of the Trust than Holders who
receive cash distributions (see Reinvestment Plan). Distributions are expected
to be made on the last business day of December of each year, commencing
December 29, 1995 to Holders of record on December 15. As soon as practicable
after termination of the Trust (generally after seven days), the Trustee will
distribute to each Unitholder his pro rata share of the amount realized on
disposition of the Securities remaining in the Trust plus any other assets then
in the Trust, less expenses of the Trust. The other assets of the Trust will
include any dividends, interest income and net realized capital gains which
have not been distributed. The total distribution may be less than the amount
paid for Units.
MARKET FOR UNITS -- The Sponsor, though not obligated to do so, intends from
the commencement of the Trust to maintain a market for Units and continually to
offer to purchase Units from Holders desiring to sell them at a price based on
the aggregate value of the underlying Securities (see Market for Units).
Whenever a market is not maintained, a Holder may be able to dispose of his
Units only through redemption (see Redemption).
- -----------
* This sales charge will be reduced on a graduated scale in the case of
quantity purchases. Additionally, sales charges will also be reduced each
succeeding quarter during the first year of the Trust, commencing October 2,
1995. See Public Sale of Units -- Public Offering Price.

INVESTOR'S GUIDE
UNCOMMON VALUES TRUST, 1995 SERIES
From a long-term perspective, stocks have historically outperformed other
types of financial instruments. In fact, since 1925, the stock market has
grown at an average of more than 10% per year, compounded annually. By
comparison, long-term and short-term U.S. Treasury instruments have grown by
an average of only 4.8% and 3.7%, respectively (which is not much higher
than the 3.1% average rate of inflation during this period).*
While investing in the stock market can be profitable, identifying the
specific stocks that meet your investment objectives can be both a
challenging and time-consuming process. If you are a growth- oriented
investor looking for equities with strong potential for capital appreciation
potential over the next 12 months, Smith Barney can provide some direction.
On July 5, 1995, Smith Barney announced the Portfolio that comprises the
Uncommon Values Trust, 1995 Series. From more than 1,300 companies we
follow, our Investment Policy Committee believes that these recommendations
have the best possibility for capital appreciation over the next 12 months.
The process entails an extensive analysis of the companies, their industry
groups, and their ability to perform in the current economic and market
environment.
THE UNCOMMON VALUES TRUST WILL PURCHASE EACH OF THE
STOCKS ON THE LIST, NOT NECESSARILY IN EQUAL AMOUNTS.
THROUGH THIS UNIT INVESTMENT TRUST, GROWTH-ORIENTED
INVESTORS WILL HAVE A COST-EFFECTIVE AND CONVENIENT WAY
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ENTIRE LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS,
AND BENEFIT FROM THESE FEATURES:
PROFESSIONAL STOCK SELECTION. . .
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To select the holdings for the Trust, the Investment Policy
Committee ("the Committee") enlisted Smith Barney's extensive
resources in equity research. This team is made up of 97
professional investment analysts, whose research covers a universe
of more than 1,300 companies in 86 industry groups or stock areas of
the market, both in the U.S. and abroad.
First, our research analysts submitted to the Committee their
top picks from each of the industries they follow. The Committee,
comprised of a 14-member advisory board of senior investment
analysts, then evaluated each of the recommendations based on their
analysis of individual market sectors, overall market trends and the
current economic environment. The culmination of this process was
the selection of 15 stocks believed to offer uncommon values in the
current market.**
* This performance should not be viewed as an indication of the
future performance of the Uncommon Values Trust, 1995 Series. In
addition, the investment return offered by stocks will vary, while
government bonds, if held to maturity, offer both a fixed rate of
return and return of principal, backed by the full faith and credit
of the U.S. government.
** Of course, stock prices fluctuate, and there can be no assurance
that the Portfolio will appreciate over the term of the trust.
<PAGE>
IN A CONVENIENT PACKAGE. . .
- --------------------------------
Through the Uncommon Values Trust, investors can participate in
the entire list for as little as $1,000. As another convenient
feature, an investor's share of dividends paid from each
investment in the portfolio is automatically reinvested in
additional units, at no charge. Or, an investor can elect to
receive distributions in one annual check.
A summary of any payments made, as well as the holdings in the
Portfolio, will be provided annually in a statement from the
Trustee.
WITH A COST EFFECTIVE STRUCTURE AND LOW MINIMUM INVESTMENT. . .
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
To participate in the Trust, investors will pay a one-time sales
charge amounting to 4.0% of the public offering price, that will
be lowered each quarter during the first year of the Trust.
Discounts are available for larger purchases that can reduce the
sales charge to as low as 1.5%.
The sales charge of the Trust is less than many investors would
pay in commissions to purchase and sell a similar portfolio on
their own. For example, an investment of $25,000 in equal amounts
of the stocks would likely be subject to the payment of higher
commissions incurred on purchases of less than 100 shares of any
stock. These higher commissions would not apply to the Trust,
because it purchases such large amounts of each stock.
THAT OFFERS FULL LIQUIDITY. . .
- --------------------------------
Investors will have two options for liquidating their interests in
the Uncommon Values Trust, each with no charge or penalty.
Although there is no obligation to do so, Smith Barney intends to
maintain a secondary market for Units of the Trust. Investors may
sell Units to the Sponsor through such a secondary market, if
available, or redeem Units to the Trustee, for cash at the then-
current market value, which may be more or less than the investor
paid for the Units.
As a second option, investors may at any time redeem a minimum of
50,000 Units and receive distributions of the underlying stocks in
the Trust. Unlike selling Units for cash, investors will not
recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of the securities
distributed (except to the extent that fractional shares are sold
or a security is not available for delivery). Of course, a taxable
gain or loss may be recognized upon eventual sale of the
underlying securities.
RISK FACTORS. . .
- --------------------------------
As with any equity investment, prices will fluctuate, and there is
no assurance that the Portfolio will appreciate or not depreciate
over the term of the Trust. The Trust is not appropriate for
investors requiring high current income or conservation of
capital. Securities representing approximately 27% of the value of
the Portfolio have been ranked High Risk by the Sponsor's Research
Department, described as "low predictability of
earnings/dividends; high price volatility"; Securities
representing approximately 7% of the value of the Portfolio have
been ranked Speculative, described as "exceptionally low
predictability of earnings/dividends; highest risk of price
volatility".

those assumed for purposes of the Example.
The Trust (and therefore the Holders) will bear all or a portion of its
organizational costs--including costs of preparing the registration statement,
the 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. Advertising and selling expenses will be
paid by the Underwriters at no cost to the Trust.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Sponsor, Trustee and Unitholders of The Uncommon Values Trust, 1995
Series:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition, including
the portfolio of The Uncommon Values Trust, 1995 Series, as of July 5, 1995.
This financial statement is the responsibility of the Trustee (see note 5 to
the statement of financial condition). 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 of a statement of financial condition includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
that financial statement. Our procedures included confirmation with the
Trustee of an irrevocable letter of credit deposited on July 5, 1995, for the
purchase of securities, as shown in the statement of financial condition and
portfolio of securities. An audit of a statement of financial condition also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by the Trustee, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit of the statement of financial
condition 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 Uncommon Values Trust,
1995 Series as of July 5, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Trust and is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of
internal controls directly related to, and designed to provide reasonable
assurance as to the integrity and reliability of, financial reporting of
the Trust. The Trustee is also responsible for all estimates and accruals
reflected in the Trust's financial statements other than estimates of
organizational costs, for which the Sponsor is responsible.

(1) All Securities are represented entirely by contracts to purchase
Securities, which were entered into by the Sponsor on July 5, 1995. All
contracts for domestic Securities are expected to be settled by the
initial settlement date for the purchase of Units.
(2) Smith Barney has assigned these rankings according to the following
system, which uses two codes: a letter for the level of risk (L,M,H,S or
V) and a number for performance expectation (1-5).
RISK assesses predictability of earnings/dividends and stock price volatility:
L (Low Risk): highly predictable earnings/dividends, low price volatility
M (Moderate Risk): moderately predictable earnings/dividends, moderate
price volatility
H (High Risk): low predictability of earnings/dividends, high price
volatility
S (Speculative): exceptionally low predictability of earnings/dividends,
highest risk of price volatility
V (Venture): Risk and return consistent with venture capital, suitable only
for well-diversified portfolios
PERFORMANCE rankings indicate the expected total return (capital gain or loss
plus dividends) over the next 12-18 months, assuming an unchanged, or "flat"
market; performance expectations depend on the risk category assigned to the
stock, as shown in the following chart.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
STRUCTURE AND OFFERING
This Series of the Uncommon Values Trust (the "Trust") is a "unit investment
trust" created under New York law by a Trust Indenture (the "Indenture")*
between the Sponsor and the Trustee. On the date of this Prospectus, each unit
of the Trust (a "Unit") represented a fractional undivided interest in the
securities listed under Portfolio (the "Securities") and net income of the
Trust set forth under Investment Summary. Additional Units of the Trust will
be issued in the amount required to satisfy purchase orders by depositing in
the Trust cash (or a bank letter of credit in lieu of cash) with instructions
to purchase Securities, contracts to purchase Securities together with
irrevocable letters of credit, or additional Securities. On each settlement
date (estimated to be three business days after the applicable date on which
Securities were deposited in the Trust), the Units will be released for
delivery to investors and the deposited Securities will be delivered to the
Trustee. As additional Units are issued by the Trust as a result of the
deposit of cash (or a letter of credit in lieu of cash) with instructions to
purchase additional Securities, the aggregate value of the Securities in the
Trust will be increased and the fractional undivided interest in the Trust
represented by each Unit will be decreased. There is no limit on the time
period during which the Sponsor may continue to make additional deposits of
Securities into the Trust.
Additional deposits of cash or Securities in connection with the issuance
and sale of additional Units will maintain to the extent practicable the
original proportionate relationship among the number of shares of each
Security. The proportionate relationship among the Securities in the Trust
will be adjusted to reflect the occurrence of a stock dividend, a stock split
or a similar event which affects the capital structure of the issuer of a
Security in the Trust but which does not affect the Trust's percentage
ownership of the common stock equity of such issuer at the time of such event.
It may not be possible to maintain the exact original proportionate
relationship among the Securities deposited on the Initial Date of Deposit
because of, among other reasons, purchase requirements, changes in prices,
brokerage commissions or unavailability of Securities. Replacement Securities
may be acquired under specified conditions when Securities originally
deposited are unavailable (see Administration of the Trust -- Trust
Supervision). Units may be continuously offered to the public by means of this
Prospectus (see Public Sale of Units -- Public Distribution) resulting in a
potential increase in the number of Units outstanding. Deposits of Additional
Securities subsequent to the 90-day period following the Initial Date of
Deposit must replicate exactly the proportionate relationship among the number
of shares of each of the Securities comprising the Portfolio at the end of the
initial 90-day period.
The Public Offering Price of Units prior to the Evaluation Time specified on
page 2 on any day will be based on the aggregate value of the Securities in
the Trust on that day at the Evaluation Time, plus a sales charge. The Public
Offering Price will thus vary in the future from that specified on page 2 of
this Prospectus. See Public Sale of Units -- Public Offering Price for a
complete description of the pricing of Units.
Units will be sold to investors at the Public Offering Price next computed
after receipt of the investor's order to purchase Units. The Sponsor reserves
the right to accept or reject any purchase order in whole or in part.
The Sponsor will execute orders to purchase in the order it determines, in
good faith, that they are received, except it is expected that indications of
interest received prior to the effectiveness of the registration of the Trust
which become orders upon effectiveness will be accepted according to the order
in which the indications of interest were received. The Sponsor may accept or
reject any purchase order in whole or in part.
The holders ("Holders") of Units will have the right to have their Units
redeemed for the Securities underlying the Units (see Redemption). If any
Units are redeemed, the aggregate value of Securities in the Trust will be
reduced and the fractional undivided interest in the Trust represented by each
remaining Unit will be increased. Units will remain outstanding until redeemed
upon request to the Trustee by any Holder (which may include the Sponsor), or
termination of the Indenture (see Administration of the Trust -- Amendment and
Termination).

THE PORTFOLIO
The Securities in the Portfolio have been selected by the Investment Policy
Committee of the Sponsor, comprised of 14 senior investment analysts, with the
assistance of the Research Department. Uncommon Values Unit Trusts have been
created in previous years by a predecessor Sponsor. The Sponsor's Research
Department is staffed by 97 investment analysts, who currently follow equities
issued by more than 1,300 companies (both domestic and foreign) in 86 industry
groups or stock areas of the market. The Stocks included in the Portfolio were
selected by the Sponsor as undervalued stocks deemed to have above average
appreciation potential over the 12 months following the selection of the
portfolio. In arriving at the Trust's portfolio, the Committee evaluated each
analyst's top selections based on the Committee's analysis of industry trends,
overall market conditions and the current economic environment. The selection
is not limited to small, high-growth companies. According to Ibbotson
Associates, during the period 1925 through 1994, the total return on common
stocks averaged over 10.0% a year, as contrasted to 4.8% and 3.7% for long-
term and short-term U.S. Treasury securities, respectively, and 3.1% for
inflation. Of course, past performance is no guaranty of future results, and
results for short-term periods have varied considerably. In addition, the
investment return offered by stocks will vary, while government bonds, if held
to maturity, offer both a fixed rate of return and return of principal, backed
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Each January for the last
12 years, Smith Barney has published a list of the top pick of each of its
equity research analysts. The selection for the 1995 Uncommon Values Trust
differs both in that it is made in the middle of the year and in that the
analysts' selections were screened by the Investment Policy Committee, as
described, to arrive at a list of the Portfolio stocks.
The results of ownership of Units will differ from the results of ownership
of the underlying Securities of the Trust for various reasons, including sales
charges and expenses of the Trust, because the Portfolio may not be fully
invested at all times, the stocks are normally purchased or sold at prices
different from the closing price used to determine the Trust's net asset
value, and not all stocks may be weighted in the initial proportions at all
times. Additionally, results of ownership to different Holders will vary
depending on the net asset value of the underlying Securities on the days
Holders bought and sold their Units. Of course, any purchaser of securities,
including Units, will have to pay sales charges or commissions, which will
reduce his total return.
Advertising and sales literature for the Trust may include excerpts from the
Sponsor's research reports on one or more of the stocks in the Trust,
including a brief description of its businesses and market sector, and the
basis on which the stock was selected. In selecting Securities for the Trust,
the Sponsor has not expressed any belief as to the potential of these
Securities for capital appreciation over a period longer than one year. There
is, of course, no assurance that any of the Securities in the Trust will
appreciate in value, and indeed any or all of the Securities may depreciate in
value at any time in the future. See Description of the Trust -- Risk Factors.
All of the domestic Securities are publicly traded either on a stock
exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Most of the contracts to purchase
Securities deposited initially in the Trust are expected to settle in three
business days, in the ordinary manner for such Securities. Any foreign
Securities are publicly traded on a variety of foreign stock exchanges.
Settlement of contracts for foreign Securities varies by country and may take
place prior to the settlement of purchase of Units on the Initial Date of
Deposit.
The Trust consists of such Securities as may continue to be held from time
to time in the Trust and any additional and replacement Securities and any
money market instruments acquired and held by the Trust pursuant to the
provisions of the Indenture (including the provisions with respect to the
deposit into the Trust of Securities in connection with the sale of additional
Units to the public) together with undistributed income therefrom and
undistributed and uninvested cash realized from the disposition of Securities
(see Administration of the Trust -- Accounts and Distributions; -- Trust
Supervision). The Indenture authorizes, but does not require, the Trustee to
invest the net proceeds of the sale of any Securities in eligible money market
instruments to the extent that the proceeds are not required for the
redemption of Units. Any money market instruments acquired by the Trust must
be held until maturity and must mature no later than
the next Distribution Day and the proceeds distributed to Holders at that
time. If sufficient Securities are not available at what the Sponsor considers
a reasonable price, excess cash received on the creation of Units may be held
in an interest-bearing account with the Trustee until that cash can be
invested in Securities. Neither the Sponsor nor the
10
<PAGE>
Trustee shall be liable in any way for any default, failure or defect in any
of the Securities. However, should any contract deposited hereunder (or to be
deposited in connection with the sale of additional Units) fail, the Sponsor
shall, on or before the next following Distribution Day, cause to be refunded
the attributable sales charge, plus the attributable Cost of Securities to
Trust listed under Portfolio, unless substantially all of the monies held in
the Trust to cover the purchase are reinvested in replacement Securities in
accordance with the Indenture (see Administration of the Trust -- Portfolio
Supervision).
Because certain of the Securities from time to time may be sold, or their
percentage may be reduced under certain extraordinary circumstances described
below, or because Securities may be distributed in redemption of Units, no
assurance can be given that the Trust will retain for any length of time its
present size (see Redemption; Administration of the Trust -- Amendment and
Termination). For Holders who do not redeem their Units, investments in Units
of the Trust will be liquidated on the fixed date specified under Investment
Summary -- Mandatory Termination of Trust, and may be liquidated sooner if the
net asset value of the Trust falls below that specified under Investment
Summary -- Minimum Value of Trust (see Risk Factors).
RISK FACTORS
An investment in Units should be made with an understanding of the risks
which an investment in common stocks entails, including the risk that the
financial condition of the issuers of the Securities or the general condition
of the common stock market may worsen and the value of the Securities and
therefore the value of the Units may decline. Common stocks are especially
susceptible to general stock market movements and to volatile increases and
decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers
change. These perceptions are based on unpredictable factors including
expectations regarding government economic, monetary and fiscal policies,
inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or
regional political, economic or banking crises.
The Trust is not appropriate for investors requiring conservation of capital
or high current income. Securities representing approximately 27% of the value
of the Portfolio have been ranked High Risk by the Sponsor's Research
Department, described as "low predictability of earnings/dividends; high price
volatility"; an additional approximate 7% of the Securities have been ranked
Speculative, described as "exceptionally low predictability of
earnings/dividends; highest risk of price volatility."
Shareholders of common stocks have rights to receive payments from the
issuers of those common stocks that are generally subordinate to those of
creditors or holders of debt obligations or preferred stocks of such issuers.
Shareholders of common stocks of the type held by the Trust have a right to
receive dividends only when and if, and in the amounts, declared by the
issuer's board of directors and have a right to participate in amounts
available for distribution by the issuer only after all other claims on the
issuer have been paid or provided for. By contrast, holders of preference
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 generally do not participate in other amounts available for distribution
by the issuing corporation. Cumulative preferred stock dividends must be paid
before common stock dividends and any cumulative preferred stock dividend
omitted is added to future dividends payable to the holders of cumulative
preferred stock. Preferred stocks are also entitled to rights on liquidation
which are senior to those of common stocks. Moreover, common stocks do not
represent an obligation of the issuer and, therefore, do not offer any
assurance of income or provide the same degree of protection of capital as do
debt securities. The issuance of additional debt securities or preferred stock
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. The value of common stocks are subject to market fluctuations for
as long as the common stocks remain outstanding, and thus the value of the
Securities in the Portfolio may be expected to fluctuate over the life of the
Trust to values higher or lower than those prevailing on the Initial Date of
Deposit.
Since the Securities are all common stocks, and the income stream produced
by dividend payments thereon is unpredictable, the Sponsor cannot provide any
assurance that dividends will be sufficient to meet any or all expenses
11
<PAGE>
of the Trust. If dividends are insufficient to cover expenses, it is likely
that Securities will have to be sold to meet Trust expenses. See Expenses and
Charges -- Payment of Expenses. Any such sales may result in capital gains or
losses to Holders. See Description of the Trust -- Taxes.
Holders will be unable to dispose of any of the Securities in the Portfolio,
as such, and will not be able to vote the Securities. As the holder of the
Securities, the Trustee will have the right to vote all of the voting stocks
in the Trust and will vote in accordance with the instructions of the Sponsor.
Holders will, however, be able upon request to receive an "in kind"
distribution of the Securities evidenced by their Units if they tender a
minimum of 50,000 Units (see Redemption).
Investors should be aware that the Trust is not a "managed" trust and, as a
result, the adverse financial condition of a company will not result in the
elimination of its securities from the portfolio of the Trust (the
"Portfolio") except under extraordinary circumstances (see Administration of
the Trust -- Trust Supervision).
Investors should note that in connection with the issuance of additional
Units during the Public Offering Period set forth in the Investment Summary,
the Sponsor may deposit cash (or a letter of credit in lieu of cash) with
instructions to purchase Securities, additional Securities or contracts to
purchase Securities, in each instance maintaining the original percentage
relationship, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, among the
number of shares of each Security in the Trust. To the extent the price of a
Security increases or decreases between the time cash is deposited with
instructions to purchase the Security at the time the cash is used to purchase
the Security, Units may represent less or more of that Security and more or
less of the other Securities in the Trust. In addition, brokerage fees (if
any) incurred in purchasing Securities with cash deposited with instructions
to purchase the Securities will be an expense of the Trust. Price fluctuations
between the time of deposit and the time the Securities are purchased, and
payment of brokerage fees, will affect the value of every Holder's Units and
the Income per Unit received by the Trust.
The Trust may be terminated at any time and all outstanding Units liquidated
if the net asset value of the Trust falls below $500,000 and deposits of
Securities in the Trust have not exceeded $50,000,000 at that time. At any
time after deposits in the Trust have exceeded $50,000,000, the Trust may be
so terminated if the net asset value of the Trust falls below $20,000,000.
Investors should note that if the net asset value of the Trust should fall
below the applicable minimum value, the Sponsor may then in its sole
discretion terminate the Trust before the Mandatory Termination Date specified
under Investment Summary.
Foreign Securities. The Trust may hold Securities of non-U.S. issuers or
through ADRs. There are certain risks involved in investing in securities of
foreign companies, which are in addition to the usual risks inherent in United
States investments. These risks include those resulting from fluctuations in
currency exchange rates, revaluation of currencies, future adverse political
and economic developments and the possible imposition of currency exchange
blockages or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions, reduced
availability of public information concerning issuers and the lack of uniform
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or of other regulatory
practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic
companies. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies may be less liquid
and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable domestic
companies. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries, there is
the possibility of expropriation, nationalization, confiscatory taxation and
limitations on the use or removal of funds or other assets of the Trust,
including the withholding of dividends. Foreign securities may be subject to
foreign government taxes that could reduce the yield on such securities. Since
the Trust may invest in securities quoted in currencies other than the United
States dollar, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect
the value of foreign securities in the Portfolio and the net asset value of
Units of the Trust. Investment in foreign securities may also result in higher
expenses due to the cost of converting foreign currency to United States
dollars, the payment of fixed brokerage commissions on certain foreign
exchanges, which generally are higher than commissions on domestic exchanges,
and expenses relating to foreign custody.
In addition, for the foreign issuers that are not subject to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there may be less
publicly available information than is available from a domestic issuer. Also,
foreign
12
<PAGE>
issuers are not necessarily subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those
applicable to domestic issuers. However, the Sponsor anticipates that adequate
information will be available to allow the Sponsor to supervise the Portfolio
as set forth in Administration of the Trust -- Portfolio Supervision.
On the basis of the best information available to the Sponsor at the present
time none of the Securities is subject to exchange control restrictions under
existing law which would materially interfere with payment to the Trust of
dividends due on, or proceeds from sale of, the Securities either because the
particular jurisdictions have not adopted any currency regulations of this
type or because the issues qualify for an exemption, or the Trust, as an
extraterritorial investor, has qualified its purchase of the Securities as
exempt by following applicable "validation" or similar regulatory or exemptive
procedures. However, there can be no assurance that exchange control
regulations might not be adopted in the future which might adversely affect
payments to the Trust.
In addition, the adoption of exchange control regulations and other legal
restrictions could have an adverse impact on the marketability of
international securities in the Portfolio and on the ability of the Trust to
satisfy its obligation to redeem Units tendered to the Trustee for redemption
(see Redemption).
Exchange Rate Fluctuation. In recent years, foreign exchange rates have
fluctuated sharply. Income from foreign equity securities held by the Trust,
including those underlying any ADRs held by the Trust, would be payable in the
currency of the country of their issuance. However, the Trust will compute its
income in United States dollars, and the computation of income will be made on
the date of its receipt by the Trust at the foreign exchange rate in effect on
that date. Therefore, if the value of the foreign currency falls relative to
the United States dollar between receipt of the income and the making of Trust
distributions, the risk of such decline will be borne by Holders. In addition,
the cost of converting such foreign currency to United States dollars would
also reduce the return to the Holder.
American Depositary Shares and Receipts. American Depositary Shares
("ADSs"), and receipts therefor ("ADRs"), are issued by an American bank or
trust company to evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a
foreign corporation. These instruments may not necessarily be denominated in
the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted.
Generally, ADSs and ADRs are designed for use in the United States securities
markets. For purposes of this Prospectus, the term ADR generally includes
ADSs.
INCOME
The estimated net annual income per Unit is determined by subtracting from
the estimated annual dividend income of the Securities in the Portfolio the
estimated annual expenses (total estimated annual Trustee's, Sponsor's and
administrative fees and expenses) and dividing by the number of Units
outstanding. The actual net annual income per Unit will vary from estimates as
the issuers of the Securities change their dividend rates or as the expenses
of the Trust change.
There is no assurance that any dividends will be declared or paid in the
future on the Securities.
Record Days and Distribution Days are set forth under Investment Summary.
Income Distributions, if any, will be automatically reinvested in additional
Units of the Trust at no extra charge unless a Holder elects to receive his
distributions in cash (see Reinvestment Plan). Because dividends on the
Securities are not received by the Trust at a constant rate throughout the
year and because the issuers of the Securities may change the schedules or
amounts of dividend payments, any distributions, whether reinvested or paid in
cash, may be more or less than the amount of dividend income actually received
by the Trust and credited to the income account established under the
Indenture (the "Income Account") as of the Record Day.
13
<PAGE>
TAXES
The following discussion addresses only the tax consequences of Units held
as capital assets and does not address the tax consequents of Units held by
dealers, financial institutions or insurance companies.
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell, special counsel for the Sponsor,
under existing law:
The Trust is not an association taxable as a corporation for Federal income
tax purposes, and income received by the Trust will be treated as income of
the Holders in the manner set forth below.
Each Holder will be considered the owner of a pro rata portion of each
Security in the Trust under the grantor trust rules of Sections 671-679 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A Holder should
determine his tax cost for each Security represented by his Units by
allocating the total cost for his Units, including the sales charge, among
each Security in the Trust represented by his Units (in proportion to the fair
market values thereof on the date the Holder purchases his Units). In order
for a Holder who purchases Units on the Initial Date of Deposit to determine
the fair market value of his pro rata portion of each security on such date,
see Cost of Securities to Trust under Portfolio.
A Holder will be considered to have received all of the dividends paid on
his pro rata portion of each Security when such dividends are received by the
Trust even if the Holder does not actually receive such distributions but
rather reinvests his dividend distributions pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan.
An individual Holder who itemizes deductions will be entitled to deduct his
pro rata share of fees and expenses paid by the Trust only to the extent that
this amount together with the Holder's other miscellaneous deductions exceeds
2% of his adjusted gross income.
Distributions which are taxable as ordinary income to Holders will
constitute dividends for Federal income tax purposes but will be eligible for
the dividends-received deduction for corporations (other than corporations
such as "S" corporations which are not eligible for such deduction because of
their special characteristics and other than for purposes of special taxes
such as the accumulated earnings tax and the personal holding company tax)
only to the extent of dividends received from domestic corporations by the
Trust.
The dividends-received deduction is currently 70%. However, Congress from
time to time considers proposals to reduce the rate, and enactment of such a
proposal would adversely affect the after-tax return to investors who can take
advantage of the deduction. Holders are urged to consult their own tax
advisers.
Section 246 and 246A of the Code contain limitations on the eligibility of
dividends for the corporate dividends-received deduction (in addition to the
limitation discussed above). Depending upon the corporate Holder's
circumstances (including whether he has a 45-day holding period for his Units
and whether his Units are debt financed), these limitations may be applicable
to dividends received by a Holder from the Trust which would otherwise qualify
for the dividends-received deduction under the principles discussed above.
Accordingly, Holders should consult their own tax advisers in this regard. A
corporate Holder should be aware that the receipt of dividend income for which
the dividends received deduction is available may give rise to an alternative
minimum tax liability (or increase an existing liability) because the dividend
income will be included in the corporation's "adjusted current earnings" for
purposes of the adjustment to alternative minimum taxable income required by
Section 56(g) of the Code.
A distribution of Securities by the Trustee to a Holder (or to his agent,
including the Distribution Agent) upon redemption of Units (or an exchange of
Units for Securities by the Holder with the Sponsor) will not be a taxable
event to the Holder or to other Holders. The redeeming or exchanging Holder's
basis for such Securities will be equal to his basis for the same Securities
(previously represented by his Units) prior to such redemption or exchange,
and his holding period for such Securities will include the period during
which he held his Units. However, a Holder will have a taxable gain or loss,
which will be a capital gain or loss except in the case of a dealer, when the
Holder (or his agent, including the Distribution Agent) sells the Securities
so received in redemption, when a redeeming or exchanging Holder receives cash
in lieu of fractional shares, when the Holder sells his Units or when the
Trustee sells the Securities from the Trust. Capital gains are generally taxed
at the same rate as ordinary income. However, the excess of net long-term
capital gains over net short-term capital losses may be taxed at a lower rate
than
14
<PAGE>
ordinary income for certain noncorporate taxpayers. A capital gain or loss is
long-term if the asset is held for more than one year and short-term if held
for one year or less. The deduction of capital losses is subject to
limitations.
The Trust may hold Securities or ADRs of foreign corporations. For United
States income tax purposes, a holder of ADRs is treated as though he were
holding directly the shares of the foreign corporation represented by the
ADRs.
Under the income tax laws of the State and City of New York, the Trust is
not an association taxable as a corporation and the income of the Trust will
be treated as the income of the Holders in the same manner as for Federal
income tax purposes.
Dividends paid by foreign issuers generally will be subject to withholding
tax, which will be unavailable as a credit or deduction for Holders.
The foregoing discussion relates only to the tax treatment of U.S. Holders
with regard to Federal and certain aspects of New York State and City income
taxes. Holders that are not U.S. citizens or residents ("Foreign Holders")
should be aware that dividend distributions from the Trust will be subject to
a withholding tax of 30%, or a lower treaty rate. Holders may be subject to
taxation in New York or in other jurisdictions (including a Foreign Holder's
country of residence) and should consult their own tax advisers in this
regard.
* * *
After the end of each fiscal year, the Trustee will furnish to each Holder
an annual statement containing information relating to the dividends received
by the Trust on the Securities, the gross proceeds received by the Trust from
the disposition of any Security (resulting from redemption or the sale by the
Trust of any Security), and the fees and expenses paid by the Trust. The
Trustee will also furnish annual information returns to each Holder and to the
Internal Revenue Service.
RETIREMENT PLANS
This Trust may be well suited for purchase by Individual Retirement Accounts
("IRAs"), Keogh plans, pension funds and other qualified retirement plans,
certain of which are briefly described below. Generally, capital gains and
income received in each of the foregoing plans are exempt from Federal
taxation. All distributions from such plans are generally treated as ordinary
income but may, in some cases, be eligible for special 5 or 10 year averaging
or tax-deferred rollover treatment. Holders of Units in IRAs, Keogh plans and
other tax-deferred retirement plans should consult their plan custodian as to
the appropriate disposition of distributions. Investors considering
participation in any such plan should review specific tax laws related thereto
and should consult their attorneys or tax advisers with respect to the
establishment and maintenance of any such plan. Such plans are offered by
brokerage firms, including the Sponsor of this Trust, and other financial
institutions. Fees and charges with respect to such plans may vary.
Retirement Plans for the Self-Employed -- Keogh Plans. Units of the Trust
may be purchased by retirement plans established pursuant to the Self-Employed
Individuals Tax Retirement Act of 1962 ("Keogh plans") for self-employed
individuals, partnerships or unincorporated companies. Qualified individuals
may generally make annual tax-deductible contributions up to the lesser of 20%
of annual compensation or $30,000 in a Keogh plan. The assets of the plan must
be held in a qualified trust or other arrangement which meets the requirements
of the Code. Generally there are penalties for premature distributions from a
plan before attainment of age 59 1/2, except in the case of a participant's
death or disability and certain other limited circumstances. Keogh plan
participants may also establish separate IRAs (see below) to which they may
contribute up to an additional $2,000 per year ($2,250 if a spousal account is
also established).
Individual Retirement Account -- IRA.
Any individual (including one covered by a qualified private or government
retirement plan) can establish an IRA or make use of a qualified IRA
arrangement set up by an employer or union for the purchase of Units of the
Fund.
15
<PAGE>
Any individual can make a contribution to an IRA equal to the lesser of $2,000
($2,250 in a spousal account) or 100% of earned income; such investment must
be made in cash. However, the deductible amount an individual may contribute
will be reduced if the individual's adjusted gross income exceeds $25,000 (in
the case of a single individual), $40,000 (in the case of married individuals
filing a joint return) or $200 (in the case of a married individual filing a
separate return). A married individual filing a separate return will not be
entitled to any deduction if the individual is covered by an employer-
maintained retirement plan without regard to whether the individual's spouse
is an active participant in an employer retirement plan. Unless nondeductible
contributions were made in 1987 or a later year, all distributions from an IRA
will be treated as ordinary income but generally are eligible for tax-deferred
rollover treatment. It should be noted that certain transactions which are
prohibited under Section 408 of the Code will cause all or a position of the
amount in an IRA to be deemed to be distributed and subject to tax at that
time. A participant's entire interest in an IRA must be, or commence to be,
distributed to the participant not later than the April 1 following the
taxable year during which the participant attains age 70 1/2. Taxable
distributions made before attainment of age 59 1/2, except in the case of a
participant's death or disability, or where the amount distributed is part of
a series of substantially equal periodic (at least annual) payments that are
to be made over the life expectancies of the participant and his or her
beneficiary, are generally subject to a surtax in an amount equal to 10% of
the distribution.
Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. A pension or profit-sharing plan
established for employees of a corporation may purchase Units of the Trusts.
PUBLIC SALE OF UNITS
PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE
The Public Offering Price of the Units is computed by adding to the
aggregate value of the Securities in the Trust (as determined by the Trustee)
and any cash held to purchase Securities, divided by the number of Units
outstanding, a sales charge of 4.167% thereof. This sales charge is equal to a
gross underwriting profit of 4.0% of the Public Offering Price and is subject
to change by the Sponsor at any time. Purchasers on July 6, 1995 (the first
day Units will be available to the public) will be able to purchase Units at
$1.00 each (including the sales charge). To allow Units to be priced at $1.00,
the Units outstanding as of the Evaluation Time on July 6 (all of which are
held by the Sponsor) will be split (or split in reverse). The Public Offering
Price on any subsequent date will vary from the Public Offering Price on the
date of the initial Prospectus (set forth under Investment Summary) in
accordance with fluctuations in the aggregate value of the underlying
Securities. Units will be sold to investors at the Public Offering Price next
determined after receipt of the investor's purchase order. A proportionate
share of the amount in the Income Account (described under Administration of
the Trust -- Accounts and Distributions) on the date of delivery of the Units
to the purchaser is added to the Public Offering Price.
The sales charge applicable to quantity purchases is reduced on a graduated
scale for sales to any purchaser of at least 50,000 Units. Sales charges
(until October 2, 1995) are as follows:

</TABLE>
Commencing April 1, 1996, the sales charge will be 1.00% of the Public
Offering Price (1.010% of the net amount invested), regardless of the number
of Units purchased.
The above graduated sales charges will apply to all purchases on any one day
by the same purchaser of Units in the amounts stated. Purchases of Units will
not be aggregated with purchases of units of any other series of The Uncommon
Values Trust. Units held in the name of the spouse of the purchaser or in the
name of a child of the purchaser under 21 years of age are deemed to be
registered in the name of the purchaser for purposes of calculating the
applicable sales charge. The graduated sales charges are also applicable to a
trustee or other fiduciary purchasing securities for a single trust estate or
single fiduciary account.
Valuation of Securities by the Trustee is made as of the close of business
on the New York Stock Exchange on each business day. Securities quoted on a
national stock exchange or NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the
closing sales price, or, if no closing sales price exists, at the mean between
the closing bid and offer prices. Securities not so quoted are valued at the
mean between bid and offer prices.
Employees of the Sponsor and its subsidiaries, affiliates and employee-
related accounts may purchase Units pursuant to employee benefit plans, at a
price equal to the aggregate value of the Securities in the Trust divided by
the number of Units outstanding plus a reduced sales charge of .5%. Sales to
these plans involve less selling effort and expense than sales to employee
groups of other companies.
PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
Units will be distributed to the public at the Public Offering Price through
the Sponsor, as sole underwriter of the Trust, and may also be distributed
through dealers.
The Sponsor intends to qualify Units for sale in all states of the United
States where qualification is deemed necessary through the Sponsor and dealers
who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Sales
to dealers, if any, will initially be made at prices which represent a
concession from the Public Offering Price per Unit to be established at the
time of sale by the Sponsor.
UNDERWRITER'S AND SPONSOR'S PROFITS
The Sponsor, as sole underwriter, receives a gross underwriting commission
equal to the sales charge of 4.00% of the Public Offering Price (subject to
reduction on a graduated scale basis in the case of volume purchases, and
subject to reduction for purchasers in each succeeding quarter during the
first year of the Trust, as referred to above).
On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Sponsor also realized a profit or loss
on deposit of the Securities into the Trust in the amount set forth under
Investment Summary, which equals the difference between the cost of the
Securities to the Trust (which is based on the aggregate value of the
Securities on the Date of Deposit) and the purchase price of
17
<PAGE>
such Securities to the Sponsor. On each subsequent deposit of Securities with
respect to the sale of additional Units to the public, the Sponsor similarly
may realize a profit or loss. The Sponsor also may realize profits or sustain
losses as a result of fluctuations after the Initial Date of Deposit in the
aggregate value of the Securities and hence of the Public Offering Price
received by the Sponsor for Units. Cash, if any, made available by buyers of
Units to the Sponsor prior to the settlement dates for purchase of Units may
be used in the Sponsor's business and may be of benefit to the Sponsor.
The Sponsor also receives an annual fee at the maximum rate of $.25 per
1,000 Units for the administrative and other services which it provides during
the life of the Trust (see Expenses and Charges -- Fees). The Sponsor has not
participated as sole underwriter or manager or member of any underwriting
syndicate from which any of the Securities in the Portfolio on the Initial
Date of Deposit were acquired, except as indicated under Portfolio.
In maintaining a market for the Units (see Market for Units), the Sponsor
will also realize profits or sustain losses in the amount of any difference
between the prices at which it buys Units (based on the aggregate value of the
Securities) and the prices at which it resells such Units (which include the
sales charge) or the prices at which the Securities are sold after it redeems
such Units, as the case may be.
MARKET FOR UNITS
While the Sponsor is not obligated to do so, its intention is to maintain a
market for Units and offer continuously to purchase Units from the Initial
Date of Deposit at prices, subject to change at any time, which will be
computed by adding (1) the aggregate value of Securities in the Trust, (2)
amounts in the Trust including dividends receivable on stocks trading ex-
dividend and (3) all other assets in the Trust; deducting therefrom the sum of
(a) taxes or other governmental charges against the Trust not previously
deducted, (b) accrued fees and expenses of the Trustee (including legal and
auditing expenses), the Sponsor and counsel to the Trust and certain other
expenses and (c) amounts for distribution to Holders of record as of a date
prior to the evaluation; and dividing the result of such computation by the
number of Units outstanding as of the date of computation. The Sponsor may
discontinue purchases of Units if the supply of Units exceeds demand or for
any other business reason. The Sponsor, of course, does not in any way
guarantee the enforceability, marketability or price of any Securities in the
Portfolio or of the Units. On any given day, however, the price offered by the
Sponsor for the purchase of Units shall be an amount not less than the
Redemption Price per Unit, based on the aggregate value of Securities in the
Trust on the date on which the Units are tendered for redemption (see
Redemption).
The Sponsor may, of course, redeem any Units it has purchased in the
secondary market to the extent that it determines that it is undesirable to
continue to hold such Units in its inventory. Factors which the Sponsor will
consider in making such a determination will include the number of units of
all series of unit trusts which it has in its inventory, the salability of
such units and its estimate of the time required to sell such units and
general market conditions. For a description of certain consequences of such
redemption for the remaining Holders, see Redemption.
REDEMPTION
Units may be redeemed by the Trustee at its corporate trust office upon
payment of any relevant tax without any other fee, accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer with the signature guaranteed by a
national bank or trust company, a member firm of any of the New York, Midwest
or Pacific Stock Exchanges, 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.
The Trustee is empowered to sell Securities in order to make funds available
for redemption if funds are not otherwise available in the Capital and Income
Accounts to meet redemptions (see Administration of the Trust --Accounts and
Distribution). The Securities to be sold will be selected by the Trustee from
those designated on the current list provided by the Sponsor for this purpose.
Provision is made in the Indenture under which the Sponsor may, but need not,
specify minimum amounts in which blocks of Securities are to be sold in order
to obtain the best price for the Trust. While these minimum amounts may vary
from time to time in accordance with market conditions, the Sponsor believes
that the minimum amounts which would be specified would be a sufficient number
of shares to obtain institutional rates of brokerage commissions (generally
between 1,000 and 5,000 shares).
18
<PAGE>
The Trustee will redeem Units "in kind" upon request of a redeeming Holder
if the Holder tenders at least 50,000 Units. Thus, a Holder will be able
(except during a period described in the last paragraph under this heading),
not later than the seventh calendar day following such tender (or if the
seventh calendar day is not a business day on the first business day prior
thereto), to receive in kind an amount per Unit equal to the Redemption Price
per Unit (computed as described in Redemption -- Computation of Redemption
Price per Unit) as determined as of the day of tender. The Redemption Price
per Unit for in kind distributions (the "In Kind Distribution") will take the
form of the distribution of whole and fractional shares of each of the
Securities in the amounts and the appropriate proportions represented by the
fractional undivided interest in the Trust of the Units tendered for
redemption (based upon the Redemption Price per Unit), except that with
respect to any foreign Security not held in ADR form, the value of that
Security will be distributed in cash.
In Kind Distributions on redemption of a minimum of 50,000 Units will be
held by United States Trust Company of New York, as Distribution Agent, for
the account, and for disposition in accordance with the instructions of, the
tendering Holder as follows:
(a) If the tendering Holder requests cash payment, the Distribution Agent
shall sell the In Kind Distribution as of the close of business on the date of
tender and remit to the Holder not later than seven calendar days thereafter
the net proceeds of sale, after deducting brokerage commissions and transfer
taxes, if any, on the sale. The Distribution Agent may sell the Securities
through the Sponsor, and the Sponsor may charge brokerage commissions on those
sales. Since these proceeds will be net of brokerage commissions, Holders who
wish to receive cash for their Units should always offer them for sale to the
Sponsor in the secondary market before seeking redemption by the Trustee. The
Trustee may offer Units tendered for redemption and cash liquidation to it to
the Sponsor on behalf of any Holder to obtain this more favorable price for
the Holder.
(b) If the tendering Holder requests distribution in kind, the Distribution
Agent (or the Sponsor acting on behalf of the Distribution Agent) shall sell
any portion of the In Kind Distribution represented by fractional interests in
accordance with the foregoing and distribute net cash proceeds to the
tendering Holder together with certificates representing whole shares of each
of the Securities that comprise the In Kind Distribution. (The Trustee may,
however, offer the Sponsor the opportunity to purchase the tendered Units in
exchange for the numbers of shares of each Security and cash, if any, which
the Holder is entitled to receive. The tax consequences to the Holder would be
identical in either case.)
Any amounts paid on redemption representing income received will be
withdrawn from the Income Account to the extent funds are available (an
explanation of such Account is set forth under Administration of the Trust --
Accounts and Distributions). In addition, in implementing the redemption
procedures described above, the Trustee and the Distribution Agent shall make
any adjustments necessary to reflect differences between the Redemption Price
of the Units and the value of the In Kind Distribution as of the date of
tender. To the extent that Securities are distributed in kind, the size of the
Trust will be reduced.
A Holder may tender Units for redemption on any weekday (a "Tender Day")
which is not one of the following: New Year's Day, Washington's Birthday, Good
Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or
Christmas. The right of redemption may be suspended and payment postponed for
any period, determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), (1)
during which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is closed other than for
customary weekend and holiday closings, (2) during which the trading on that
Exchange is restricted or an emergency exists as a result of which disposal or
evaluation of the Securities is not reasonably practicable or (3) for such
periods as the SEC may by order permit.
COMPUTATION OF REDEMPTION PRICE PER UNIT
Redemption Price per Unit is computed by the Trustee as of the Evaluation
Time on each June 30 and December 31 (or the last business day prior thereto),
as of the Evaluation Time next following the tender of any Unit for redemption
on any Tender Day, and on any other business day desired by the Trustee or the
Sponsor, by adding (1) the aggregate value of the Securities determined by the
Trustee, (2) amounts in the Trust including dividends receivable on stocks
trading ex-dividend (with appropriate adjustments to reflect monthly
distributions made to Holders) and (3) all other assets in the Trust;
deducting therefrom the sum of (a) taxes or other governmental charges against
the Trust
19
<PAGE>
not previously deducted, (b) accrued fees and expenses of the Trustee
(including legal and auditing expenses), the Sponsor and counsel to the Trust
and certain other expenses and (c) amounts for distribution to Holders of
record as of a date prior to the evaluation; and dividing the result of such
computation by the number of Units outstanding as of the date thereof.
The aggregate value of the Securities shall be determined by the Trustee in
good faith in the following manner: if the Securities are listed on a national
securities exchange or NASDAQ National Market System, or a foreign securities
exchange, such evaluation shall generally be based on the closing sale price
on such exchange (unless the Trustee deems such price inappropriate as a basis
for evaluation) or, if there is no closing sale price on such exchange, at the
mean between the closing offering and bid side evaluation. If the Securities
are not so listed or, if so listed and the principal market therefor is other
than on such exchange, such evaluation shall generally be made by the Trustee
in good faith based at the mean between current bid and offer prices on the
over-the-counter market (unless the Trustee deems such mean inappropriate as a
basis for evaluation) or, if bid and offer prices are not available, (1) on
the basis of the mean between current bid and offer prices for comparable
securities, (2) by the Trustee's appraising the value of the Securities in
good faith at the mean between the bid side and the offer side of the market
or (3) by any combination thereof.
EXPENSES AND CHARGES
Initial Expenses -- All or some portion of the expenses incurred in
establishing the Trust, including the cost of the initial preparation,
printing and execution of the registration statement and the indenture,
Federal and State registration fees, the initial fees and expenses of the
Trustee, legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, will be paid by
the Trust and amortized over one year. Any balance of the expenses incurred in
establishing the Trust, as well as advertising and selling expenses, will be
paid by the Underwriters at no cost to the trust.
Fees -- The Trustee's and Sponsor's fees are set forth under Investment
Summary. The Trustee receives for its services as Trustee and Distribution
Agent payable in monthly installments, the amount set forth under Investment
Summary. The Trustee's fee (in respect of services as Trustee), payable
monthly, is based on the largest number of Units outstanding during the
preceding month. Certain regular and recurring expenses of the Trust,
including certain mailing and printing expenses, are borne by the Trust. The
Trustee receives benefits to the extent that it holds funds on deposit in the
various non-interest bearing accounts created under the Indenture. The
Sponsor's fee, which is earned for trust supervisory services, is based on the
largest number of Units outstanding during the year. The Sponsor's fee, which
is not to exceed the maximum amount set forth under Investment Summary, may
exceed the actual costs of providing supervisory services for this Trust, but
at no time will the total amount the Sponsor receives for trust supervisory
services rendered to all series of Smith Barney Unit Trusts in any calendar
year exceed the aggregate cost to it of supplying these services in that year.
In addition, the Sponsor may also be reimbursed for bookkeeping or other
administrative services provided to the Trust in amounts not exceeding its
cost of providing those services. The fees of the Trustee and Sponsor may be
increased without approval of Holders in proportion to increases under the
classification "All Services Less Rent" in the Consumer Price Index published
by the United States Department of Labor.
Other Charges -- These include: (1) fees of the Trustee for extraordinary
services (for example, making distributions due to failure of contracts for
Securities), (2) expenses of the Trustee incurred for the benefit of the Trust
(including legal and auditing expenses) and expenses of counsel designated by
the Sponsor, (3) various governmental charges and fees and expenses for
maintaining the Trust's registration statement current with Federal and State
authorities, (4) expenses and costs of action taken by the Sponsor, in its
discretion, or the Trustee, in its discretion, to protect the Trust and the
rights and interests of Holders (for example, expenses in exercising the
Trust's rights under the underlying Securities), (5) indemnification of the
Trustee for any losses, liabilities and expenses incurred without gross
negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct on its part, (6) indemnification of
the Sponsor for any losses, liabilities and expenses incurred without gross
negligence, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of their duties
and (7) expenditures incurred in contacting Holders upon termination of the
Trust. The amounts of these charges and fees are secured by a lien on the
Trust.
Payment of Expenses -- Funds necessary for the payment of the above fees
will be obtained in the following manner: (1) first, by deductions from the
Income Account (see below) (which will reduce income distributions from
20
<PAGE>
the Account); (2) to the extent the Income Account funds are insufficient, by
distribution from the Capital Account (see below); (3) to the extent the
Income and Capital Accounts are insufficient, by selling Securities from the
Portfolio and using the proceeds to pay the expenses (thereby reducing the net
asset value of the Units).
Since the Securities are all common stocks, and the income stream produced
by dividend payments thereon is unpredictable (see Description of the Trust --
Risk Factors), the Sponsor cannot provide any assurance that dividends will
be sufficient to meet any or all expenses of the Trust. If dividends are
insufficient to cover expenses, it is likely that Securities will have to be
sold to meet Trust expenses. Any such sales may result in capital gains or
losses to Holders. See Description of the Trust -- Taxes.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST
RECORDS
The Trustee keeps records of the transactions of the Trust at its corporate
trust office including names, addresses and holdings of all Holders, a current
list of the Securities and a copy of the Indenture. Such records are available
to Holders for inspection at reasonable times during business hours.
ACCOUNTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends payable to the Trust are credited by the Trustee to an Income
Account, as of the date on which the Trust is entitled to receive such
dividends as a holder of record of the Securities. All other receipts (i.e.,
return of capital, stock dividends, if any, and gains) will be credited by the
Trustee to a Capital Account. If a Holder elects to receive his distribution
in cash, any income distribution for the Holder as of each Record Day will be
made on the following Distribution Day or shortly thereafter and shall consist
of an amount equal to the Holder's pro rata share of the distributable balance
in the Income Account as of such Record Day, after deducting estimated
expenses. The first distribution for persons who purchase Units between a
Record Day and a Distribution Day will be made on the second Distribution Day
following their purchase of Units. In addition, amounts from the Capital
Account may be distributed from time to time to Holders of record. The Trustee
may withdraw from the Income Account, from time to time, such amounts as it
deems requisite to establish a reserve for any taxes or other governmental
charges that may be payable out of the Trust. Funds held by the Trustee in the
various accounts created under the Indenture do not bear interest.
Purchases at Market Discount -- Certain of the shareholder dividend
reinvestment, stock purchase or similar plans maintained by issuers of the
Securities offer shares pursuant to such plans at a discount from market
value. Subject to any applicable regulations and plan restrictions, the
Sponsor intends to direct the Trustee to participate in any such plans to the
greatest extent possible taking into account the Securities held by the Trust
in the issuers offering such plans. In such event, the Indenture requires that
the Trustee forthwith distribute in kind to the Distribution Agent the
Securities received upon any such reinvestment to be held for the accounts of
the Holders in proportion to their respective interests in the Trust. It is
anticipated that Securities so distributed shall immediately be sold.
Therefore, the cash received upon such sale, after deducting sales commissions
and transfer taxes, if any, will be used for cash distributions to Holders.
The Trustee will follow a policy that it will place securities transactions
with a broker or dealer only if it expects to obtain the most favorable prices
and executions of orders. Transactions in securities held in the Trust are
generally made in brokerage transactions (as distinguished from principal
transactions) and the Sponsor or any of its affiliates may act as brokers
therein if the Trustee expects thereby to obtain the most favorable prices and
execution. The furnishing of statistical and research information to the
Trustee by any of the securities dealers through which transactions are
executed will not be considered in placing securities transactions.
TRUST SUPERVISION
The Trust is a unit investment trust which normally follows a buy and hold
investment strategy and is not actively managed. However, the Portfolio is
regularly reviewed. Traditional methods of investment management for a managed
fund (such as a mutual fund) typically involve frequent changes in a portfolio
of securities on the basis of economic,
21
<PAGE>
financial and market analyses. The Portfolio of the Trust, however, will not
be actively managed and therefore the adverse financial condition of an issuer
will not necessarily require the sale of its Securities from the Portfolio.
However, while it is the intention of the Sponsor to continue the Trust's
investment in the Securities in the original proportions, it has the power but
not the obligation to direct the disposition of the Securities upon
institution of certain legal proceedings, default under certain documents
adversely affecting future declaration or payment of anticipated dividends, or
a substantial decline in price or the occurrence of other materially adverse
market or credit factors that, in the opinion of the Sponsor, would make the
retention of the Securities detrimental to the interests of the Holders. The
Sponsor intends to review the desirability of retaining in the Portfolio any
Security if its Investment Rating is reduced below 3 by the Sponsor's Research
Department. The Sponsor is authorized under the Indenture to direct the
Trustee to invest the proceeds of any sale of Securities not required for
redemption of Units in eligible money market instruments selected by the
Sponsor which will include only the following instruments:
(i) negotiable certificates of deposit or time deposits of domestic banks
which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and which have,
together with their branches or subsidiaries, more than $2 billion in total
assets, except that certificates of deposit or time deposits of smaller
domestic banks may be held provided the deposit does not exceed the insurance
coverage on the instrument (which currently is $100,000), and provided further
that the Trust's aggregate holding of certificates of deposit or time deposits
issued by the Trustee may not exceed the insurance coverage of such
obligations and (ii) U.S. Treasury notes or bills.
In the event a public tender offer is made for a Security or a merger or
acquisition is announced affecting a Security, the Sponsor may instruct the
Trustee to tender or sell the Security on the open market when in its opinion
it is in the best interest of the Holders of the Units to do so. In addition,
the Sponsor is required to instruct the Trustee to reject any offer made by an
issuer of any of the Securities to issue new Securities in exchange or
substitution for any Securities except that the Sponsor may instruct the
Trustee to accept or reject such an offer to take any other action with
respect thereto as the Sponsor may deem proper if (1) the issuer failed to
declare or pay anticipated dividends with respect to such Securities or (2) in
the written opinion of the Sponsor the issuer will probably fail to declare or
pay anticipated dividends with respect to such Securities in the reasonably
foreseeable future. Any Securities so received in exchange or substitution
will be held by the Trustee subject to the terms and conditions of the
Indenture to the same extent as Securities originally deposited thereunder. If
a Security is eliminated from the Portfolio and no replacement security is
acquired, the Trustee shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter
notify Holders of the sale of the Security. Except as stated in this and the
following paragraphs, the Trust may not acquire any securities other than (1)
the Securities and (2) securities resulting from stock dividends, stock splits
and other capital changes of the issuers of the Securities.
The Sponsor is authorized to direct the Trustee to acquire replacement
Securities ("Replacement Securities") to replace any Securities, for which
purchase contracts have failed ("Failed Securities"), or, in connection with
the deposit of Additional Securities, when Securities of an issue originally
deposited are unavailable at the time of subsequent deposit, as described more
fully below. Replacement Securities that are replacing Failed Securities will
be deposited into the Trust within 110 days of the date of deposit of the
contracts that have failed at a purchase price that does not exceed the amount
of funds reserved for the purchase of Failed Securities. The Replacement
Securities shall satisfy certain conditions specified in the Indenture
including, among other conditions, requirements that the Replacement
Securities shall be publicly-traded common stocks; shall be issued by an
issuer subject to or exempt from the reporting requirements under Section 13
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or similar provisions of
law); shall not result in more than 10% of the Trust consisting of securities
of a single issuer (or of two or more issuers which are Affiliated Persons as
this term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) which are not
registered and are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or
result in the Trust owning more than 50% of any single issue which has been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933; and shall have, in the opinion of
the Sponsor, characteristics sufficiently similar to the characteristics of
the other Securities in the Trust as to be acceptable for acquisition by the
Trust. Whenever a Security has been eliminated by the Trust and a Replacement
Security is deposited, the Trustee shall within five days after the deposit of
the Replacement Security notify all Holders of the sale of the Security
eliminated and the acquisition of the Replacement Security. Whenever a
Replacement Security has
22
<PAGE>
been acquired for the Trust, the Trustee shall, on the next Distribution Day
that is more than 30 days thereafter, make a pro rata distribution of the
amount, if any, by which the cost to the Trust of the Failed Security exceeded
the cost of the Replacement Security. If Replacement Securities are not
acquired, the Sponsor will, on or before the next following Distribution Day,
cause to be refunded the attributable sales charge, plus the attributable Cost
of Securities to Trust listed under Portfolio plus income attributable to the
Failed Security.
The Indenture also authorizes the Sponsor to increase the size and number of
Units of the Trust by the deposit of cash (or a letter of credit) with
instructions to purchase Additional Securities, contracts to purchase
Additional Securities or, Additional Securities in exchange for the
corresponding number of additional Units during the 90-day period subsequent
to the Initial Date of Deposit, provided that the original proportionate
relationship among the number of shares of each Security established on the
Initial Date of Deposit (the "Original Proportionate Relationship") is
maintained to the extent practicable. Deposits of Additional Securities
subsequent to the 90-day period following the Initial Date of Deposit must
replicate exactly the original proportionate relationship among the number of
shares of each Security comprising the Portfolio at the end of the initial 90-
day period.
With respect to deposits of cash (or a letter of credit) with instructions
to purchase Additional Securities), Additional Securities or contracts to
purchase Additional Securities, in connection with creating additional Units
of the Trust during the 90-day period following the Initial Date of Deposit,
the Sponsor may specify minimum amounts of additional Securities to be
deposited or purchased. If a deposit is not sufficient to acquire minimum
amounts of each Security, Additional Securities may be acquired in the order
of the Security most under-represented immediately before the deposit when
compared to the Original Proportionate Relationship. If Securities of an issue
originally deposited are unavailable at the time of subsequent deposit or
cannot be purchased at reasonable prices or their purchase is prohibited or
restricted by law, regulation or policies applicable to the Trust or the
Sponsor, the Sponsor may (1) deposit cash or a letter of credit with
instructions to purchase the Security when practicable (provided that it
becomes available within 110 days after the Initial Date of Deposit) or (2)
deposit (or instruct the Trustee to purchase) Securities of one or more other
issues originally deposited or (3) deposit (or instruct the Trustee to
purchase) a Replacement Security that will meet the conditions described
above. Any funds held to acquire Additional or Replacement Securities which
have not been used to purchase Securities at the end of the 90-day period
beginning with the Initial Date of Deposit, shall be used to purchase
Securities as described above or shall be distributed to Holders together with
the attributable sales charge.
REPORTS TO HOLDERS
The Trustee will furnish Holders with each distribution a statement of the
amount of income and the amount of other receipts, if any, which are being
distributed, expressed in each case as a dollar amount per Unit. Within a
reasonable period of time after the end of June in each year (normally within
20 to 60 days), the Trustee will furnish to each person who at any time during
the preceding period from July 1 through June 30 (a "Trust Year") was a Holder
of record a statement (1) as to the Income Account: income received;
deductions for applicable taxes and for fees and expenses of the Trustee and
counsel, and certain other expenses; amounts paid in connection with
redemptions of Units and the balance remaining after such distributions and
deductions, expressed in each case both as a total dollar amount and as a
dollar amount per Unit outstanding on the last business day of such Trust
Year; (2) as to the Capital Account: the disposition of any Securities (other
than pursuant to In Kind Distributions) and the net proceeds received
therefrom; the results of In Kind Distributions in connection with redemption
of Units; deductions for payment of applicable taxes and for fees and expenses
of the Trustee and counsel and certain other expenses, to the extent that the
Income Account is insufficient, and the balance remaining after such
distribution and deductions, expressed both as a total dollar amount and as a
dollar amount per Unit outstanding on the last business day of such Trust
Year; (3) a list of the Securities held and the number of Units outstanding on
the last business day of such Trust Year; (4) the Redemption Price per Unit
based upon the computation thereof made on the thirtieth day of June (or the
last business day prior thereto) of such Trust Year; and (5) amounts actually
distributed during such Trust Year from the Income Account expressed both as
total dollar amounts and as dollar amounts per Unit outstanding on the record
dates for such distributions.
In order to enable them to comply with federal and state tax reporting
requirements, Holders will be furnished with evaluations of Securities upon
request to the Trustee.
23
<PAGE>
EVIDENCE OF OWNERSHIP
If a purchaser of Units holds his Units through an account for his benefit
at the Sponsor, that purchaser will be the beneficial owner of the Units but
the Sponsor will be the record Holder. Units held in such an account with the
Sponsor are transferable by the beneficial owner to another account with the
Sponsor by notice to the Sponsor, payment of any sums required for taxes or
other governmental charges and compliance with any formalities required by the
Sponsor.
All record Holders of Units (including the Sponsor for any Units held by it
in accounts for the benefit of others) are required to hold their Units in
uncertificated form. The Trustee will credit a record Holder's account with
the number of Units held by the Holder. If any Units are not held in an
account with the Sponsor, or if Units so held are to be transferred outside
such an account, such Units are transferable by the Trustee, with a payment of
any sums payable for taxes or other governmental charges imposed upon these
transactions and compliance with the formalities necessary to redeem Units.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Sponsor may amend the Indenture, with the consent of the Trustee but
without the consent of any of the Holders, (1) to cure any ambiguity or to
correct or supplement any provision thereof which may be defective or
inconsistent, (2) to change any provision thereof as may be required by the
SEC or any successor governmental agency and (3) to make such other provisions
as shall not materially adversely affect the interest of the Holders (as
determined in good faith by the Sponsor). The Indenture may also be amended in
any respect by the Sponsor and the Trustee, or any of the provisions thereof
may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of 51% of the Units, provided
that no such amendment or waiver will reduce the interest in the Trust of any
Holder without the consent of such Holder or reduce the percentage of Units
required to consent to any such amendment or waiver without the consent of all
Holders. The Indenture will terminate upon the earlier of the disposition of
the last Security held thereunder or the Mandatory Termination Date specified
under Investment Summary. The Indenture may also be terminated by the Sponsor
if the value of the Trust is less than the minimum value set forth under
Investment Summary (as described under Description of the Trust -- Risk
Factors) and may be terminated at any time by written instrument executed by
the Sponsor and consented to by Holders of 51% of the Units. The Trustee shall
deliver written notice of any termination to each Holder within a reasonable
period of time prior to the termination. Within a reasonable period of time
after such termination, the Trustee must sell all of the Securities then held
and distribute to each Holder, after deductions of accrued and unpaid fees,
taxes and governmental and other charges, such Holder's interest in the Income
and Capital Accounts. Such distribution will normally be made by mailing a
check in the amount of each Holder's interest in such accounts to the address
of such Holder appearing on the record books of the Trustee.
REINVESTMENT PLAN
Distributions of income and/or principal, if any, on Units held in street
name through Smith Barney Inc. or directly in the name of the Holder, unless
the Holder notifies his financial consultant at Smith Barney Inc. or the
Trustee, respectively, to the contrary, will be reinvested automatically in
additional Units of the Trust at no extra charge pursuant to the Trust's
"Reinvestment Plan". If the Holder does not wish to participate in the
Reinvestment Plan, the Holder must notify his financial consultant at Smith
Barney Inc. or the Trustee at least ten business days prior to the
Distribution Day to which that election is to apply. The election may be
modified or terminated by similar notice.
Distributions being reinvested will be paid in cash to the Sponsor, who will
use them to purchase Units of the Trust at the Sponsor's Repurchase Price (the
net asset value per Unit without any sales charge) in effect at the close of
business on the Distribution Day. These may be either previously issued Units
repurchased by the Sponsor or newly issued Units created upon the deposit of
additional Securities in the Trust (see Description of the Trust -- Structure
and Offering). Each participant will receive an account statement reflecting
any purchase or sale of Units under the Reinvestment Plan.
24
<PAGE>
The costs of the Reinvestment Plan will be borne by the Sponsor, at no cost
to the Trust. The Sponsor reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the
Reinvestment Plan at any time without prior notice.
RESIGNATION, REMOVAL AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
TRUSTEE
The Trustee or any successor may resign upon notice to the Sponsor. The
Trustee may be removed upon the direction of the Holders of 51% of the Units
at any time, or by the Sponsor without the consent of any of the Holders if
the Trustee becomes incapable of acting or becomes bankrupt or its affairs are
taken over by public authorities. Such resignation or removal shall become
effective upon the acceptance of appointment by the successor. In case of such
resignation or removal the Sponsor is to use its best efforts to appoint a
successor promptly and if upon resignation of the Trustee no successor has
accepted appointment within thirty days after notification, the Trustee may
apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor.
The Trustee shall be under no liability for any action taken in good faith in
reliance on prima facie properly executed documents or for the disposition of
monies or Securities, nor shall it be liable or responsible in any way for
depreciation or loss incurred by reason of the sale of any Security. This
provision, however, shall not protect the Trustee in cases of wilful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties. In the event of the failure of the Sponsor to act, the
Trustee may act under the Indenture and shall not be liable for any of these
actions taken in good faith. The Trustee shall not be personally liable for
any taxes or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of the
Securities or upon the interest thereon. In addition, the Indenture contains
other customary provisions limiting the liability of the Trustee.
SPONSOR
The Sponsor may resign at any time if a successor Sponsor is appointed by
the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture. Any new Sponsor must have a
minimum net worth of $2,000,000 and must serve at rates of compensation deemed
by the Trustee to be reasonable and as may not exceed amounts prescribed by
the SEC. If the Sponsor fails to perform its duties or becomes incapable of
acting or becomes bankrupt or its affairs are taken over by public
authorities, then the Trustee may (1) appoint a successor Sponsor at rates of
compensation deemed by the Trustee to be reasonable and as may not exceed
amounts prescribed by the SEC, (2) terminate the Indenture and liquidate the
Trust or (3) continue to act as Trustee without terminating the Indenture.
The Sponsor shall be under no liability to the Trust or to the Holders for
taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith or
for errors in judgment and shall not be liable or responsible in any way for
depreciation of any Security or Units or loss incurred in the sale of any
Security or Units. This provision, however, shall not protect the Sponsor in
cases of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of its obligations and duties. The Sponsor may transfer all or substantially
all of its assets to a corporation or partnership which carries on its
business and duly assumes all of its obligations under the Indenture and in
such event it shall be relieved of all further liability under the Indenture.

THE UNCOMMON VALUES TRUST
1995 SERIES
REFERENCE TRUST INDENTURE
Dated as of July 5, 1995
This Trust Indenture between Smith Barney Inc., as Sponsor, and United
States Trust Company of New York, as Trustee (the "Indenture") sets forth
certain provisions in full and incorporates other provisions by reference to the
document entitled "The Uncommon Values Unit Trust, Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust for Series formed on or subsequent to July 2, 1985" as amended as of
June 27, 1994 (the "Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust") and such provisions
as are set forth in full herein and such provisions as are incorporated by
reference constitute a single instrument. All references herein to Articles and
Sections are to Articles and Sections of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust.
WITNESSETH THAT:
In consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements herein
contained, the Sponsor and the Trustee agree as follows:
Part I
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRUST
Subject to the provisions of Part II hereof, all the provisions contained in
the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust are herein incorporated by reference
in their entirety and shall be deemed to be a part of this instrument as fully
and to the same extent as though said provisions had been set forth in full in
this instrument, except that all references to "Shearson Lehman Hutton, Inc."
shall be deleted and replaced by "Smith Barney Inc." and further, that United
States Trust Company of New York shall, by executing this Trust Indenture, be
deemed to be the Trustee and a party to said Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust for all purposes of this Trust.
<PAGE>
Part II
SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRUST
The following special terms and conditions are hereby agreed to:
(a) The Securities (including Contract Securities) listed in the Prospectus
relating to the 1995 Series shall be shares of common stock, which securities
have been deposited with (or assigned to) the Trustee under this Indenture.
Subject to the provisions contained in the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust, any new Securities deposited in the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 3.06
will be those which, assuming consummation of the particular transaction, will
maintain the same proportionate relationship among the number of shares of each
of the various Securities in the Trust Fund as exists among the Securities in
the Trust Fund immediately preceding any such deposit or distribution, subject,
however, to any change in such proportionate relationship in accordance with
Sections 3.05, 3.08, 3.11, 3.12 or 5.02.
(b) In all places in the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust where the
words "Monthly Income Distribution" appear, these words shall be deleted and
replaced by "Income Distribution".
(c) The definition of "Distribution Agency Agreement" and all references
thereto shall be deleted.
(d) The definition of "Distribution Day" shall be deleted and replaced by
the following:
"The day designated as such in the Prospectus under the heading
'Investment Summary'."
(e) In the definition of Evaluation Time, the words "Part II of the
Reference Trust Indenture" shall be changed to read: "the Prospectus."
(f) Section 2.02 is hereby amended by adding the following sentence as the
second sentence of Section 2.02: "Effective as of the Evaluation Time on July
6, 1995, in the event that the aggregate value of Securities in the Trust has
increased since the evaluation on July 5, 1995, the Trustee shall issue such
number of additional Units to the Holder of outstanding Units as of the close of
business on July 5, 1995, that the price per Unit computed as of the Evaluation
Time on July 6, 1995, plus the maximum applicable sales charge shall equal $1
per Unit (based on the number of Units outstanding as of said Evaluation Time,
including the additional Units
-2-
<PAGE>
issued pursuant to this sentence); in the event that the aggregate value of
Securities in the Fund has decreased since the evaluation on July 5, 1995, there
will be a reverse split of the outstanding Units, and said Holder will surrender
to the Trustee for cancellation such number of Units, that the price per Unit
computed as of the Evaluation Time on July 6, 1995 plus the maximum applicable
sales charge shall equal $1 per Unit (based on the number of Units outstanding
as of said Evaluation Time, reflecting cancellation of Units pursuant to this
sentence)."
(g) The third and fourth paragraphs of Section 3.04 shall be deleted and
replaced by the following four paragraphs:
"The Income Distribution shall be calculated as follows: The Trustee
shall as of each Record Day compute the amount distributable to Holders on the
next Distribution Day (the "Income Distribution"), which amount, subject to the
limitations on the Trustee's advances set forth in Section 3.01(b), shall be
equal to the cash balance of the Income Account plus any amount receivable on
obligations purchased pursuant to Section 3.06(j) on or before the following
Distribution Day less accrued and unpaid expenses of the Trust fund and any
amounts payable from the Income Account in respect of Units tendered for
redemption prior to such Record Day divided by the number of Units outstanding
on such Record Day; provided, however, that the Trustee may increase or decrease
the amount of the resulting calculation in order to reflect the differences in
Income actually received or fees, expenses, losses, liabilities or advances
actually incurred or made in any prior period from the amounts estimated
therefor.
"Subject to the provisions of the succeeding two paragraphs,
distributions of Income and Gains shall be made as follows: On or shortly after
each Distribution Day the Trustee shall distribute by check mailed to each
Holder of record at the close of business on the preceding Record Day, at the
post office address of the Holder appearing on the record books of the Trustee
or by any other means mutually agreed upon by the Holder and the Trustee, an
amount substantially equal to the Income Distribution in respect of such
Distribution Day, plus the Holder's pro rata share of the cash balance of the
Capital Account (but not including cash required to purchase Contract Securities
or held for reinvestment in Substitute Securities pursuant to Section 3.11)
computed as of the close of business on the preceding Record Day; provided,
---------
however, that the Trustee in its discretion may on any Distribution Day
- --------
determine that the amount of the Income Distribution per Unit because of any
unusual or extraordinary increase or decrease in the expenses incurred or
expected to be incurred by the Trust Fund. In making the computation of such
Holder's interest in the balance of the Income Capital Accounts, fractions of
less than one cent per unit may be omitted.

"In the event that the Sponsor adopts a Reinvestment Plan the cash
distributions to Holders shall be automatically reinvested by the Sponsor in
additional Units of the Trust. Units of the Trust purchased under the
Reinvestment Plan shall be purchased at the Sponsor's Repurchase Price (the net
asset value per Unit without a sales charge) in effect at the close of business
on the Distribution Day. The Units purchased may be either previously issued
Units repurchased by the Sponsor or newly created Units created upon the deposit
of additional Securities in the Trust. The cost of the Reinvestment Plan will
be borne by the Sponsor, at no additional cost to the Trust or individual
Holders. Holders will receive an account statement reflecting any purchase of
Units under the Reinvestment Plan. The Sponsor reserves the right to amend,
modify or terminate the Reinvestment Plan at any time without prior notice.
"A Holder may elect not to participate in the Reinvestment Plan by
notifying his financial consultant at Smith Barney Inc. or by notifying the
Trustee in writing by ten days prior to the Distribution Day, which election may
be modified or terminated by similar notice. The Sponsor shall promptly inform
the Trustee of any election or modification or termination thereof received by
it from a Holder and the Trustee shall be authorized conclusively to rely on any
notice so received from the Sponsor. In the event the Holder elects not to
participate in the Reinvestment Plan, or in the event that the Sponsor does not
adopt or terminates a Reinvestment Plan, the Trustee shall distribute the amount
described above by check mailed to each Holder of record at the close of
business on the preceding Record Day, at the post office address of the Holder
appearing on the record books of the Trustee or by any other means mutually
agreed upon by the Holder and the Trustee."
(h) Section 3.05 is amended to add the following paragraph at the conclusion
thereof:
"Any property received by the Trustee other than additional shares of
the issues of (i) Securities deposited with or as signed to the Trustee
under the Indenture, (ii) Replacement Securities or (iii) Substitute
Securities shall be sold and the proceeds credited to the Capital Account."
(i) Section 3.06 is amended to read as follows:
"SECTION 3.06. Deposit of Additional Securities. (a) The Sponsor from
--------------------------------
time to time during the 90-day period following the Initial Date of Deposit,
may deposit with the Trustee additional Securities (or may assign contracts
for the purchase of additional Securities and deposit a letter of credit, in
an amount sufficient to cover the purchase price of the additional
Securities to be deposited) ('Additional Securities') or cash (or a
-4-
<PAGE>
letter of credit in lieu of cash) with instructions to purchase additional
Securities, together with cash equal to a pro rata portion of the Trust Fund
Cash Evaluation (as defined in Section 5.01(b)) bearing the same ratio to
the Units created by the Deposit as the Trust Fund Cash Evaluation bears to
the Units outstanding immediately prior to the deposit. The Trustee shall
execute and deliver to or on the order of the Sponsor in exchange therefor
the number of Units specified in a Deposit Certificate delivered in
connection therewith. Additional Securities shall, if deposited on or prior
to the 90th day following the Date of Deposit, maintain, to the extent
practicable the original proportionate relationship among the number of
shares of each Security in the Trust Fund established on the Initial Date of
Deposit (the 'Original Proportionate Relationship'), adjusted, if
appropriate, to reflect (1) the deposit of Substitute Securities pursuant to
Section 3.11, (2) sale of securities pursuant to Section 3.08, 3.12 or 5.02
and (3) the occurrence of any stock dividends, stock splits, redemptions,
acquisition of shares through dividend reinvestment plans or similar events.
Additional Securities deposited or purchased with cash or a letter of credit
deposited may be purchased in round lots, and if the amount of the deposit
is insufficient to acquire round lots of each Security to be acquired,
Additional Securities may be deposited (or acquired with cash or a letter of
credit deposited) in the order of the Security in the Trust Fund most under-
represented immediately before the deposit with respect to the Original
Proportionate Relationship. All instructions to purchase Additional
Securities pursuant to this Section shall be in writing and shall direct the
Trustee to perform contracts to purchase Additional Securities which the
Sponsor shall have entered into and assigned to the Trustee.
"(b) If Securities of an issue of Securities originally deposited (an
'Original Issue') are unavailable or cannot be purchased at reasonable
prices or their purchase is prohibited or restricted by law, regulation or
policies applicable to the Trust Fund or the Sponsor at the time of a
subsequent deposit under Subsection 3.06(a), in lieu of the portion of the
deposit that would otherwise be represented by those Securities, the Sponsor
may (1) deposit (or instruct the Trustee to purchase) (i) Securities of
another Original Issue or (ii) 'Replacement Securities' complying with the
conditions of paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section, or (2) deposit cash or
a letter of credit with instructions to acquire the Securities of the
Original Issue when practicable. Any cash or letter of credit deposited
under this Subsection 3.06(b) to acquire Securities of an Original Issue or
Replacement Securities which at the end of the 90 day period following the
Date of Deposit has not been used to purchase Securities shall be used to
purchase Securities in accordance with this Subsection 3.06(b), provided
that if an
-5-
<PAGE>
instruction to purchase an Additional Security or a Replacement Security has
not been given and such cash or letter of credit remain in the Trust Fund
after 110 days from the Date of Deposit, the amount thereof shall be
distributed, together with the attributable sales charge, at the time and in
the manner specified in Section 3.11 regarding failed contracts.
"(c) Replacement Securities shall meet all the conditions applicable to
Substitute Securities in Section 3.11.
"(d) A Replacement Security must:
"(i) be publicly-traded common stock;
"(ii) be issued by an issuer subject to or exempt from the
reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (or similar provision of law); and
"(iii) have characteristics sufficiently similar to the
characteristics of the other Securities in the Trust Fund as to be
acceptable for acquisition by the Trust Fund.
"(e) The Sponsor, from time to time after the 90 day period following
the Date of Deposit, may deposit with the Trustee Additional Securities or
cash (or a letter of credit in lieu of cash) with instructions to purchase
Additional Securities, together with cash equal to a pro rata portion of the
Trust Fund Cash Evaluation (as defined in Section 5.01(b)) bearing the same
ratio to the Units created by the deposit as the Trust Fund Cash Evaluation
bears to the Units outstanding immediately prior to the deposit and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the Sponsor in
exchange therefor the number of Units specified in a Deposit Certificate
delivered in connection therewith. Such Additional Securities shall meet
each of the conditions set forth in Subsections 3.06(c) and 3.06(d) above
but must maintain exactly the proportionate relationship existing among the
number of shares of each Security in the Trust Fund on the 90th day
following the Initial Date of Deposit, adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect
(1) the deposit of Substitute Securities pursuant to Section 3.11, (2) sale
of securities pursuant to Section 3.08, 3.12 or 5.02 and (3) the occurrence
of any stock dividends, stock splits, redemptions, acquisition of shares
through dividend reinvestment plans or similar events.
"(f) Execution of a Deposit Certificate shall be deemed a certification
by the Sponsor that the purchase of the Securities specified in such Deposit
Certificate complies with the conditions specified in this section, as
applicable. The Deposit
-6-
<PAGE>
Certificate shall be deemed to restate the representations, agreements and
certifications of the Sponsor made in Sections 6-8, inclusive, of the
Memorandum of Closing for the Trust Fund to which the deposit relates as
though the representations, agreements and certifications were made with
respect to the Deposit Certificate and the deposit of Securities with the
Trustee. The Deposit Certificate shall also be deemed to constitute, for
value received, the sale, assignment and transfer to the Trustee of all
right, title and interest in and to the Additional Securities identified in
the Deposit Certificate and to irrevocably constitute and appoint the
Trustee the Sponsor's attorney in all matters respecting such Securities
with full power of substitution in the premises. The Deposit Certificate
shall include an acknowledgment by the Trustee that it has delivered to the
Sponsor the number of Units specified in the Deposit Certificate. Any
Additional Securities received by the Trustee shall be deposited in the
Trust Fund and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Indenture to the same extent as the securities originally deposited
hereunder. Any contract to purchase Additional Securities pursuant to this
Section 3.06 that is declared by the Sponsor to have failed due to reasons
beyond the control of the Sponsor or the Trustee, shall be immediately
replaced by the Sponsor with a contract to purchase Substitute Securities
pursuant to Section 3.11.
"(g) The Trustee shall cause to be delivered to the Sponsor within a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, a certificate
of the Trustee as to the Additional Securities received by the Trustee for
deposit in the Trust Fund and the number of Units issued in exchange
therefor, during the calendar year. Within a reasonable time after receipt
of such certificate, the Sponsor shall acknowledge in writing the receipt of
such certificate and shall certify it as complete and correct or shall
indicate to the Trustee in writing any differences between the Sponsor's
records of the Securities transactions and the issuance of Units and
Trustee's certificate."
"(h) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss
or depreciation resulting from any purchase made pursuant to the Sponsor's
instructions and in the absence thereof shall have no duty to purchase any
securities. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for
maintaining the composition of the Trust Fund.
"(i) Cash delivered to the Trustee for purchase of Securities pursuant
to this section shall be on deposit with the Trustee or any Custodian or
sub-custodian specified in Section 8.01(a) and shall bear interest for the
benefit of the Trust Fund at the Federal Funds rate adjusted daily as
reported in the New York Times under the caption 'Key Rates'.
--------------

<PAGE>
"(j) The Sponsor may direct the Trustee, with part or all of the
proceeds from the sale of Securities, to the extent not required for
redemption of Units, to purchase one or more debt obligations for deposit in
the Trust, provided that each such debt obligations (1) is an "Eligible
Security" as defined in paragraph (a)(5) of Rule 2a-7 pursuant to the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or in the opinion of the Sponsor has
comparable credit characteristics, and (2) has a fixed final maturity date
no later than the next Distribution Day. The proceeds from the maturity of
any said debt obligation shall be distributed to Holders on said
Distribution Day."
(j) For purposes of Section 3.11(b), the term "25%" shall be replaced by
"10%".
(k) Section 3.11(d) shall be deleted and replaced by the following
paragraph:
"(d) The Replacement Securities must be deposited into the Trust Fund
within 110 days of the date of deposit of the Failed Contract Securities."
(l) Article THREE shall be amended to add a new Section 3.16 as follows:
SECTION 3.16. Foreign Exchange Transactions. The Sponsor shall direct
-----------------------------
the Trustee with respect to the circumstances under which foreign exchange
transactions are to be entered into and with respect to the method whereby
calculation of U.S. dollar equivalents for purpose of net asset value
computations or otherwise are to be made, in order to convert amounts
receivable in respect of Securities in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars.
(m) Section 5.02 shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"SECTION 5.02. Redemption of Units. (a) A Holder may tender Units for
-------------------
redemption on any weekday (a "Tender Day") which is not one of the following:
New Year's Day, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed),
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas; provided that any
--------
tender received after the Evaluation Time or received on a day which is not a
Tender Day shall be deemed to be made as of the next succeeding Tender Day. Any
Unit tendered by a Holder or his duly authorized attorney for redemption at the
Trustee's Office (effected by tender of such documents as the Trustee shall
reasonably require and, in the case of certificated Units, by the related
Certificate) shall be redeemed and cancelled by the Trustee on or before the
Redemption Date.
-8-
<PAGE>
"(b) Subject to deduction of any tax or other governmental charges due
thereon, redemption is to be made by payment of cash equal to the Unit Value as
of the Evaluation Time next following the tender plus any Accrued Income per
Unit from, and including, the day next following such Evaluation Time to, but
not including, the day of payment to the redeeming Holder, multiplied by the
number of Units being redeemed (the "Redemption Price"). The portion of the
----------------
Redemption Price representing the pro rata share of the cash on hand in the
Income Account and such Accrued Income shall be withdrawn from the Income
Account to the extent funds are available for such purpose. The balance of the
Redemption Price, including Accrued Income to the extent unavailable in the
Income Account, shall be withdrawn from the Capital Account to the extent that
funds are available for such purpose; if the available balance in the Capital
Account shall be insufficient, the Trustee shall sell Securities from among
those designated for such purpose by the Sponsors on the current list as
provided in subsection (d) below, in such amounts as shall be necessary for the
purposes of such redemption; provided, however, that no amount in the Capital
-------- -------
Account may be used for any redemption unless the Sponsor so directs in writing.
Instead, Units shall be redeemed by the Trustee's segregating on the books of
the Trust those Securities selected from among those designated on such current
list by the Sponsor for the account of the Holder (to the extent the value
thereof is equal to the Redemption Price (less any cash distributed from the
Income and Capital Accounts as directed by the Sponsor)). The Trustee shall
sell the Securities, any portion of which have been segregated as provided
below, or collect the redemption proceeds thereof and distribute such sale or
redemption proceeds (1) to the Holder, to the extent described in the
immediately preceding sentence, and (2) to the Capital Account, to the extent of
any balance of the sale or redemption proceeds; provided that if the Sponsor
--------
contemplates any further deposit of Additional Securities into the Trust in
accordance with Section 3.06, the Securities to be segregated shall be selected
by the Sponsor so as to maintain, to the extent practicable, the proportionate
relationship among the number of shares of each Security then existing. In the
event that funds are withdrawn from the Capital Account or Securities are sold
for payment of any portion of the Redemption Price representing Accrued Income,
the Capital Account shall be reimbursed when sufficient funds are available in
the Income Account. As used in this Section 5.02, "Accrued Income" shall mean
net accrued but unpaid interest on Securities or interest earned on Funds
deposited for purchase of Securities as provided in Section 3.06(i) and with
respect to Common Stocks and Preferred Stocks, net dividends declared but unpaid
but, except as otherwise instructed by the Sponsors, only for the period
commencing five Business Days prior to the record date therefor and ending on
the date received by the Trustee.
"(c) If the Prospectus for the Trust provides for in-kind redemption, a
Holder who satisfies any requirements specified in such
-9-
<PAGE>
Prospectus for in-kind redemption may, in lieu of redeeming Units in the manner
provided in subsection (b) above, redeem Units and request that a distribution
in kind be made by the Trustee to the Distribution Agent of (1) Securities (the
"Securities Distribution") equal to the fractional undivided interest
-----------------------
represented by each Unit in all Securities in the Trust to the extent of the
Unit Value of the Units redeemed plus (2) an amount in cash (the "Cash
----
Distribution") equal to the Unit Value less the value of the Securities
- ------------
Distribution, determined as of the Evaluation Time next following the tender,
multiplied by the number of Units being redeemed (such Securities Distribution
and Cash Distribution in the aggregate being referred to herein as the
"Redemption Distribution"). In making a Cash Distribution to the Distribution
- ------------------------
Agent the Trustee shall withdraw the Holder's pro rata share of the cash in the
Income Account and Capital Account from such accounts to the extent that funds
are available for such purpose.
"Upon receipt of a Redemption Distribution the Distribution Agent shall
hold such distribution for the account of the tendering Holder. Securities
shall be held in the name of the Distribution Agent or its nominee and cash
shall be held in a non-interest bearing account. Upon receipt of proper
instructions from the tendering Holder, the Distribution Agent shall deliver the
Redemption Distribution pursuant to such directions (except that if any
securities received are available only in book entry form, unless the tendering
Holder designates an agent to hold such securities in its name which agent is,
or clears through, a member of the depository for those securities, the
Distribution Agent shall sell those securities and distribute the cash proceeds,
net of transaction costs, if any) as soon as practical, as directed by such
tendering Holder upon payment of such reasonable fees set by the Trustee or the
Distribution Agent to cover the cost of delivery, including costs for shipping,
handling and insurance.
"Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any
such tender of Units pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) would result in the
disposition, by the Trustee or the Distribution Agent, of less than a whole
Security, the Trustee or Distribution Agent shall distribute cash in lieu
thereof and sell such Securities as directed by the Sponsor as required to make
such cash available.
"(d) From time to time or at the request of the Trustee, the Sponsor
shall deliver to the Trustee and maintain a current list of Securities to be
sold upon the redemption of Units. Once Units have been tendered for
redemption, the Sponsor shall designate which of such Securities are to be sold.
In connection therewith, the Sponsor may specify the minimum number of shares of
any Securities to be sold at any one time and the date and manner in which such
sale is to be made by the Trustee. If the Sponsor fails to deliver such a list
or designate Securities to be sold, the Trustee, in its sole
-10-
<PAGE>
discretion, may, or may hire an agent to, establish a current list of Securities
for such purposes and designate which Securities are to be sold. In connection
with any sale of Securities pursuant to this Section 5.02, the Sponsor shall
furnish the Trustee with any documents necessary for the transfer of such
Securities or compliance with transfer restrictions, if any, on such Securities.
"(e) The Trustee shall, when selling Securities, use its reasonable
best efforts to secure the best price obtainable for the Trust taking into
account any minimum number of shares or value limitations on sales that have
been specified by the Sponsor. The Trustee shall place orders with brokers
(which may include the Sponsor and its affiliates) or dealers with which it may
reasonably expect to obtain the most favorable price and execution of orders.
"In the event that it is necessary to sell any Securities other than by
the above means, and if the Sponsor shall so direct in writing accompanied by
any documents necessary to transfer such Securities or to comply with transfer
restrictions, if any, on such Security, the Trustee shall transfer any such
Securities to a participation trust with a trustee selected by the Sponsor
(which may include the Trustee, but the Trustee shall have no obligation to act
as such and may receive additional compensation for so acting) to be governed by
a trust indenture in exchange for certificates of participation in such trust
and shall then sell such certificates of participation in the manner directed by
the Sponsor. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive such written notice and
may act in reliance thereon. In the event that the moneys received upon the
sale of such certificates exceeds the amount needed to pay the Redemption Price,
the Trustee shall credit such excess to the Capital Account or the Income
Account, as appropriate, in proportion to the amounts that represent the
principal and accrued interest on the Security transferred to such participation
trust. Sales of certificates of participation in any such trust by the Trustee
shall be made in such manner as the Sponsor shall determine should realize the
best price for the Trust.
"In the event that funds are withdrawn from the Capital Account or
Securities are sold for payment of any portion of the Redemption Price
representing Accrued Income, the Capital Account shall be reimbursed when
sufficient funds are available in the Income Account.
"(f) The Trustee may, in its discretion, and shall when so directed by
the Sponsor in writing, suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of
payment of the Redemption Price beyond the Redemption Date (1) for any period
during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend
and holiday closings; (2) for any period during which (as determined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission by rule, regulation or order) (A) trading on
the
-11-
<PAGE>
New York Stock Exchange is restricted or (B) an emergency exists as a result of
which disposal by the Trust of Securities is not reasonably practicable or it is
not reasonably practicable fairly to determine the Trust Value; or (3) for such
other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit.
Subject to Section 22 of the Investment Company Act, the right of redemption
shall terminate upon the earlier of the Termination Date or the giving of notice
of termination to Holders by the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01.
"(g) Not later than the close of business on the day of tender of a
Unit for redemption by a Holder other than the Sponsor, the Trustee shall notify
the Sponsors of such tender. The Sponsor shall have the right to purchase such
Unit by notifying the Trustee of its election to make such purchase as soon as
practicable thereafter but in no event subsequent to (1) the close of business
on the second Business Day after the day on which such Unit was tendered for
redemption or (2) in the case of a tender for redemption by check, the
Redemption Date. Such purchase shall be made by payment for such Unit by the
Sponsor (1) to the Trustee on behalf of the Holder in the case of a tender for
redemption other than by check, and (2) to the Trustee in the case of a tender
for redemption by check, in either case not later than the close of business on
the Redemption Date of an amount not less than the Redemption Price which would
otherwise be payable by the Trustee to such Holder. So long as the Sponsor is
maintaining a bid in the secondary market at no less than the Redemption Price,
the Sponsor will repurchase any Unit so tendered to the Trustee for redemption.
Any Unit purchased by the Sponsor from the Trustee may at the option of the
Sponsor be tendered to the Trustee for redemption in the manner provided in
subsection (a) of this Section 5.02. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably
authorized in its discretion, but without obligation, in the event that the
Sponsor does not elect to purchase any Unit tendered to the Trustee for
redemption, or in the event that a Unit is being tendered by the Sponsor for
redemption, in lieu of redeeming such Unit, to sell such Unit in the over-the-
counter market for the account of the tendering Holder at a price which will
return to the Holder an amount in cash, net after deducting brokerage
commissions, transfer taxes and other charges, equal to or in excess of the
Redemption Price which such Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive on
redemption pursuant to this Section 5.02. The Trustee shall pay to the Holder
the net proceeds of any such sale no later than the day the Holder would
otherwise be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price hereunder.
"(h) Neither the Sponsors, the Trustee nor any Distribution Agent shall
be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason
of any sale of Securities made pursuant to this Section 5.02."
(n) Section 4.01 shall be amended by adding the following
-12-
<PAGE>
paragraph at the end thereof:
"With respect to any Security which is not listed on a national
exchange, the Sponsor and the Trustee shall, from time to time, designate
one or more reporting services or other sources of information on which the
Trustee shall be authorized to rely in evaluating such Security, and the
Trustee shall have no liability for any errors contained in the information
so received. The cost thereof shall be an expense reimbursable to the
Trustee from the Income and Capital Accounts."
(o) Section 5.01(a) shall be amended to read as follows:
(a) As of the Evaluation Time (x) on each December 31 and June 30 (or
the last Business Day prior thereto) commencing with the first such day which is
more than six months after the date of the Reference Trust Indenture, (y) on any
business day as of the Evaluation Time next following the tender of any Unit for
redemption, and (z) on any other business day desired by it, the Trustee shall:
(1) Add
(A) cash on hand in the Trust Fund, other than cash held specially
for the purchase of Contract Securities,
(B) the aggregate value of each issue of Securities other than
Contract Securities, and
(C) all other assets of the Trust Fund, which shall include for all
purposes of this Section 5.01, any interest and dividends receivable on
stocks trading ex dividend, and
(D) amounts representing organizational expenses paid from the
Trust less amounts representing accrued organizational expenses of the
Trust, plus
(E) all other assets of the Trust; and
(2) Deduct
(A) amounts representing any applicable taxes or governmental
charges payable out of the Trust Fund and for which no deductions shall
have previously been made for the purpose of addition to the Reserve
Account,
(B) amounts representing estimated accrued fees and expenses of the
Trust Fund including but not limited to unpaid fees and expenses of the
Trustee (including legal and auditing expenses), the Sponsor and of
counsel pursuant to Section 3.10, and
-13-
<PAGE>
(C) cash allocated for distribution to Holders of record, or
redemption of Units, as of a date prior to the evaluation then being
made.
The resulting figure is herein called a "Trust Fund Evaluation". Until the
Depositor has informed the Trustee that there will be no further deposits of
Additional Securities pursuant to section 3.06, the Depositor shall provided the
Trustee estimates of (i) the total organizational expenses to be borne by the
Trust pursuant to Section 10.02 and (ii) the total number of Units to be issued
in connection with the initial deposit and all anticipated deposits of
Additional Securities. For purposes of calculating the Trust Fund Evaluation
and Unit Value, the Trustee shall treat all such anticipated expenses and Units
as having been paid and issued, respectively, on the date of the Reference Trust
Agreement, and, in connection with each such calculation, shall take into
account a pro rata portion thereof based on the actual number of Units issued as
--- ----
of the date of such calculation. In t event the Trustee is informed by the
Depositor of a revision in its estimate of total expenses or total Units and
upon the conclusion of the deposit of Additional Securities, the Trustee shall
base calculations made thereafter on such revised estimates or actual expenses,
respectively, but such adjustment shall not affect calculations made prior
thereto and no adjustment shall be made in respect thereof.
(p) Section 5.03 and all references thereto are deleted.
(q) For purposes of Section 7.03 the amount per year as compensation for the
Sponsor is hereby specified as the amount set forth under Investment Summary in
the Prospectus as Sponsor's Annual Fee.
(r) Section 8.01(b) shall be amended by adding the following to the clause
ending prior to the proviso beginning in the seventh line:
"or in respect of any evaluation which it is required to make, or
required or permitted to have made by others under this Indenture, or
otherwise."
(s) Section 8.01 shall also be amended as follows:
In paragraph (e), the word "sub-custodians," shall be inserted following
the word "attorneys," each time it appears and the following sentence is
added at the end of such paragraph:
"The Trustee is specifically authorized to employ Citibank, N.A., as a sub-
custodian of the Trustee with respect to any non-U.S. Securities held in the
Trust Fund."
(t) Section 8.01 shall be amended to add a new paragraph (j) as
-14-
<PAGE>
follows:
"(j) All provisions of paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e) and (h) of this
Section 8.01 shall be deemed to apply to the Distribution Agent as fully and
to the same extent as the Trustee.
(u) Section 8.05(d) shall be amended to add the following sentence in lieu
of that added at the conclusion of such paragraph by the Amendment dated June
27, 1994:
The provisions of this paragraph shall be deemed to apply to the
Distribution Agent in respect of any loss, liability or expense arising out
of or in connection with such Agent's actions hereunder to the same extent
as such provisions apply to the Trustee with respect to its acceptance and
administration of the Trust.
(v) For purposes of Section 8.05, the amount per year specified as
compensation for the Trustee is hereby specified as the amount set forth under
Investment Summary in the Prospectus as Trustee's Annual Fee.
(w) For purposes of Section 9.01, the Termination Date shall be the dates
specified in the Prospectus under Mandatory Termination of Trust in the
Investment Summary.
(x) Section 10.02, shall be amended to read as follows: Section 10.02.
--------------
Initial Cost. To the extent not borne by the Depositor, the expenses incurred
- ------------
in establishing a Trust, including the cost of the initial preparation and
typesetting of the registration statement, prospectuses (including preliminary
prospectuses), the indenture, and other documents relating to a Trust, SEC and
state blue sky registration fees, the costs of the initial valuation of the
portfolio and audit of a Trust, the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee,
and legal and other out-of-pocket expenses related thereto, but not including
the expenses incurred in the printing of preliminary prospectuses and
prospectuses, expenses incurred in the preparation and printing of brochures and
other advertising materials and any other selling expenses, shall be borne by
the Trust, provided, however, that the liability of the Depositor for any such
-------- -------
initial costs, fees and expenses shall not, except with respect to deposits of
Additional Securities, include any fees, costs or other expenses incurred in
connection herewith after the execution of this Indenture. Such expenses shall
be paid from the Income Account or, to the extent funds are not available in
such Account, from the Capital Account. To the extent the funds in the Income
and Capital Accounts of the Trust shall be insufficient to pay the expenses
borne by the Trust specified in this Section 10.02, the Trustee shall advance
out of its own funds and cause to be deposited
-15-
<PAGE>
and credited to the Income Account such amount as may be required to permit
payment of such expenses. The Trustee shall be reimbursed for such advance on
each Record Date from funds on hand in the Income Account or, to the extent
funds are not available in such Account, from the Capital Account in the amount
deemed to have accrued as of such Record Date as provided in the following
sentence (less prior payment s on account of such advances, if any), and the
provisions of Section 8.04 with respect to the reimbursement of disbursements
for Trust expenses, including, without limitation, the lien in favor of the
Trustee therefor and the authority to sell Securities as needed to fund such
reimbursement, shall apply to the expenses paid and amounts advanced pursuant to
this Section. For the purposes of the preceding sentence and the addition
provided in clause (1)(D) of Section 5.01, the expenses borne by the Trust
pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have been paid on the date of the
Reference Trust Agreement and to accrue at a daily rate over the time period
specified for their amortization provided in the Prospectus; provided, however,
--------
that nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent, and the Trustee shall be
entitled to, full reimbursement for any advances made pursuant to this Section
no later than the termination of the Trust.
This Indenture shall be deemed effective when executed and delivered by
the Sponsor and the Trustee.

Dear Sirs:
We have acted as special counsel for you, as sponsor (the "Sponsor") of The

We have examined and are familiar with originals or copies, certified or

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) the execution and
delivery of the Indenture and the issuance of the Units have been duly
authorized by the Sponsor and (ii) the Units, when duly issued and delivered
by the Sponsor and the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, will be
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 3.1 to the
Registration Statement relating to the Units filed under the Securities Act of
1933 and to the use of our name in such Registration Statement and in the
