subject to the requirements set forth in this Section
2.01(g) and unless the Prospectus otherwise requires, the
Depositor may, on any Business Day (the "Trade Date"),
subscribe for additional Units as follows:
(i) Prior to the Evaluation Time on such Business Day,
the Depositor shall provide notice (the "Subscription
Notice") to the Trustee, by telephone or by written
communication, of the Depositor's intention to subscribe for
additional Units. The Subscription Notice shall identify
the additional Securities to be acquired (which will be a
precise replication of the then existing portfolio, as
consistent with the provisions of Section 2,01(b)) and shall
either (a) specify the quantity of additional Securities to
be deposited by the Depositor on the settlement date for
such subscription or (b) instruct the Trustee to purchase
additional Securities with an aggregate value as specified
in the Subscription Notice.
(ii) Promptly following the Evaluation Time on such
Business Day, the Depositor shall verify with the Trustee
the number of additional Units to be created.
(iii) Not later than the time on the settlement date for
such subscription when the Trustee is to deliver or assign
the additional Units created hereby, the Depositor shall
deposit with the Trustee (a) any additional Securities
specified in the Subscription Notice (or contracts to
purchase such additional Securities together with cash or a
Letter of Credit in the amount necessary to settle such
contracts) or (b) cash or a Letter of Credit in an amount
equal to the aggregate value of the additional Securities
specified in the Subscription Notice to be purchased by the

(iv) On the settlement date for such subscription, the
Trustee shall, in exchange for the Securities and cash, cash
or Letter of Credit described above, deliver to, or assign
in the name of or on the order of, the Depositor the number
of Units verified by the Depositor with the Trustee.

required by paragraph (iii) above, the Trustee shall, on the
settlement date for such subscription, settle the securities
transactions specified in the Subscription Notice.
(vi) Neither the Trust nor Unit holders of the Trust will be
responsible for any loss resulting from the failure of the
Depositor to take such action required by paragraph (iii) above."
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, Section 6.01(e) shall be
amended to read as follows:
"(e) (1) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (2) of
this paragraph, the Trustee may employ agents, sub-
custodians, attorneys, accountants and auditors and shall
not be answerable for the default or misconduct of any such
agents, sub-custodians, attorneys, accountants or auditors
if such agents, sub-custodians, attorneys, accountants or
auditors shall have been selected with reasonable care. The
Trustee shall be fully protected in respect of any action
under this Indenture taken or suffered in good faith by the
Trustee in accordance with the opinion of counsel, which may
be counsel to the Depositor acceptable to the Trustee,
provided, however that this disclaimer of liability shall
not excuse the Trustee from the responsibilities specified
in subparagraph (2) below. The fees and expenses charged by
such agents, sub-custodians, attorneys, accountants or
auditors shall constitute an expense of the Trust
reimbursable from the Income and Capital Accounts of the
Trust as set forth in section 7.04 hereof.
(2)To the extent permitted under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the
Depositor satisfactory to the Trustee or "no-action" letters
or exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission or its staff, the Trustee may place and maintain
in the care of an Eligible Foreign Custodian (which is
employed by the Trustee as a sub-custodian as contemplated
by subparagraph (1) of this paragraph (e) and which may be
an affiliate or subsidiary of the Trustee or any other
entity in which the Trustee may have an ownership interest)
or an Eligible Securities Depository the Trust's investments
(including foreign currencies) for which the primary market
is outside the United States, and such cash and cash
equivalents in amounts reasonably necessary to effect the
Trust's transactions in such investments, provided that:
(A) The Trustee shall indemnify the Trust and hold
the Trust harmless from and against any risk of loss of
Trust assets held with an Eligible Foreign Custodian in
accordance with the foreign custody contract.
(B) The Trustee shall exercise reasonable care,
prudence and diligence such as a person having
responsibility for the safekeeping of Trust assets would
exercise, and shall be liable to the Trust for any loss
occurring as a result of its failure to do so.
(C) The Trustee shall perform all duties assigned
to the Foreign Custody Manager by Rule 17f-5 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.17f-5), as
now in effect or as such rule may be amended in the
future ("Rule 17f-5"). The Trustee shall not delegate
such duties.
(D) The Trustee shall (i) provide the Depositor
with an analysis of the custody risks associated with
maintaining assets with an Eligible Securities
Depository; (ii) monitor the custody risks associated
with maintaining assets with the Eligible Securities
Depository on a continuing basis and promptly notify the
Depositor of any material change in such risks; and
(iii) exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence in
performing the foregoing duties. The Depositor shall
instruct the Trustee to take such action as the Depositor
deems appropriate in response to a notification by the
Trustee provided pursuant to (ii) in the preceding
sentence.
(E) The Trust's Prospectus shall contain such
disclosure regarding foreign securities and foreign
custody as is required for management investment
companies by Forms N-1A and N-2. Such Prospectus shall
also contain disclosure concerning the Depositor's
responsibilities described in (C) above.
(F) The Trustee shall maintain and keep current
written records regarding the basis for the choice or
continued use of a particular Eligible Foreign Custodian
pursuant to this subparagraph for a period of not less
than six years from the end of the fiscal year in which
the Trust was terminated, the first two years in an
easily accessible place. Such records shall be available
for inspection by Unitholders and the Securities and
Exchange Commission at the Trustee's corporate trust
office during its usual business hours."
E. Section 4.05 shall be amended to add the following
paragraph as the third paragraph of Section 4.05 of the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust:
The Portfolio Supervisor may employ one or more sub-
Portfolio Supervisors to assist in performing the services
set forth in this Section 4.05 and shall not be answerable
for the default of any such sub-Portfolio Supervisors if
such sub-Portfolio Supervisors shall have been selected with
reasonable care, provided, however, that the Portfolio
Supervisor will indemnify and hold the Trust harmless from
and against any loss occurring as a result of a sub-
Portfolio Supervisor's willful misfeasance, reckless
disregard, bad faith, or gross negligence in performing
supervisory duties. The fees and expenses charged by such
sub-Portfolio Supervisors shall be paid by the Portfolio
Supervisor out of proceeds received by the Portfolio
Supervisor in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof.
F. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust, the second paragraph in Section
8.02 shall be amended to read as follows:
In the event of any termination of the Trust prior to the
Mandatory Termination Date, the Trustee shall proceed to
liquidate the Securities then held and make the payments and
distributions provided for hereinafter in this Section 8.02,
except that in such event, the distribution to each Unit
holder shall be made in cash and shall be such Unit holder's
pro rata interest in the balance of the principal and income
accounts after the deductions herein provided. In the event
that the Trust shall terminate on or after the Mandatory
Termination Date, the Trustee shall, at least thirty days
prior to the Mandatory Termination Date, send a written
notice to all Unit holders of record. If such Unit holder
owns at least the minimum number of Units of the Trust set
forth in Part II of the Trust Agreement, such notice shall
further indicate that such Unit holder may elect to receive
an in-kind distribution of their pro rata share of the
Securities, to the extent of whole shares. The Trustee will
honor duly executed requests for in-kind distributions
received (accompanied by the electing Unit holder's
Certificate, if issued) by the close of business fifteen
business days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date. Unit
holders who do not effectively request an in-kind
distribution shall receive their distribution upon
termination in cash.
G. Section 6.01 shall be amended to add the following as
paragraph (n):
"(n) The Trustee may act, and may engage any corporation,
partnership or other entity affiliated with The Bank of New
York (an "Affiliated Entity") to act, as broker or dealer to
execute transactions, including the purchase or sale of any
securities currently distributed, underwritten or issued by
any Affiliated Entity, and receive, or pay to the Affiliated
Entity, as applicable, compensation for such services at
standard commission rates, markups or concessions."
H. Section 3.02 shall be amended to read in its entirety
as follows:
Section 3.02 Income Account. The Trustee shall collect
the dividends and other cash distributions on the Securities in
each Trust which would be treated as dividend (other than capital
gain dividends) or interest income under the Internal Revenue
Code as such become payable (including all monies which would be
so treated representing penalties for the failure to make timely
payments on the Securities, or as liquidated damages for default
or breach of any condition or term of the Securities or of the
underlying instrument relating to any Securities and other income
so treated attributable to a Failed Contract Obligation for which
no Replacement Security has been obtained pursuant to Section
3.12 hereof) and credit such income to a separate account for
each Trust to be known as the "Income Account."
Any non-cash distributions received by a Trust shall be sold
to the extent they would be treated as dividend or interest
income under the Internal Revenue Code and the proceeds shall be
credited to the Income Account. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, non-cash distributions received by a Trust
(other than a non-taxable distribution of the shares of the
distributing corporation which shall be retained by a Trust)
shall be dealt with in the manner described in Section 3.11,
herein, and shall be retained or disposed of by such Trust
according to those provisions and the proceeds thereof shall be
credited to the Capital (Principal) Account. Neither the Trustee
nor the Depositor shall be liable or responsible in any way for
depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any such sale.
All other distributions received by a Trust shall be
credited to the Capital (Principal) Account.
I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, the first paragraph of
Section 3.05.(II)(a) shall be amended to provide as follows:
"On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to
each Unit holder of record at the close of business on the Record
Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date an amount per
Unit equal to such Unit holder's Income Distribution (as defined
below), plus such Unit holder's pro rata share of the balance of
the Capital Account (except for monies on deposit therein
required to purchase Contract Obligations and monies constituting
proceeds of pro-rata sales of Trust assets to effect redemptions,
which proceeds shall be retained for payment of redemptions)
computed as of the close of business on such Record Date after
deduction of any amounts provided in Subsection I, provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not be required to make a
distribution from the Capital Account unless the balance
available for distribution is equal to or greater than $1.00 per
100 Units, except that, notwithstanding any provision of the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust or this Trust Agreement
to the contrary, the Trustee shall on any Distribution Date
distribute the cash available for distribution in the Income and
Capital Accounts within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.671-5(b)(5)
if the aggregate amount of such cash available for distribution
is equal to or greater than .1% of the net asset value of the
Trust on the related Record Date. This provision is intended to
comply with Treas. Reg. 1.675-5(c)(2)(v)(C) and shall be
interpreted consistent therewith and with any successor
regulations.
