held in the Trust, the Trustee shall take such action or refrain from
taking any action, as appropriate, so as to insure that the
securities are voted as closely as possible in the same manner and in
the same general proportion as are the securities held by owners
other than the Trust. If stock or securities are received by the
Trustee, with or without cash, as a result of any merger,
reorganization, spin-off, split-off or split-up by the issuer of
stock or securities held in the Trust, the Trustee at the direction

payment date set forth in the prospectus for a Trust, the Trustee

the amount required to be paid to the Depositor pursuant to the
Deferred Sales Charge program as set forth in the prospectus for a
Trust.
K. Section 3.12 shall be added as follows:
Section 3.12. Deferred Sales Charge. If the prospectus for a
Trust specifies a Deferred Sales Charge, the Trustee shall, on the
dates specified in and as permitted by the prospectus, withdraw from
the Income Account if such account is designated in the prospectus as
the source of the payments of the Deferred Sales Charge, or to the
extent funds are not available in that account or if such account is
not so designated, from the Principal Account, an amount per Unit
specified in the prospectus and credit such amount to a special,
non-Trust account maintained at the Trustee out of which the Deferred
Sales Charge will be distributed to the Depositor. If the Income
Account is not designated as the source of the Deferred Sales Charge
payment or if the balances in the Income and Principal Accounts are
insufficient to make any such withdrawal, the Trustee shall, as
directed by the Depositor, either advance funds, if so agreed to by
the Trustee, in an amount equal to the proposed withdrawal and be
entitled to reimbursement of such advance upon the deposit of
additional monies in the Income Account or the Principal Account,
sell Securities and credit the proceeds thereof to such special
Depositor's account or credit Securities in kind to such special
Depositor's Account. Such directions shall identify the Securities,
if any, to be sold or distributed in kind and shall contain, if the
Trustee is directed by the Depositor to sell a Security, instructions
as to execution of such sales. If a Unit Holder redeems Units
-5-
prior to full payment of the Deferred Sales Charge, the Trustee shall,
if so provided in the prospectus, on the Redemption Date, withhold from
the Redemption Price payment to such Unit Holder an amount equal to
the unpaid portion of the Deferred Sales Charge and distribute such
amount to such special Depositor's account or, if the Depositor shall
purchase such Unit pursuant to the terms of Section 5.02 hereof, the
Depositor shall pay the Redemption Price for such Unit less the
unpaid portion of the Deferred Sales Charge. The Depositor may at
any time instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Depositor cash or
Securities previously credited to the special Depositor's account.
