<PAGE>

          Section 3.01.  Initial Cost  The costs of organizing
  the Trust and sale of the Trust Units shall, to the extent
  of the expenses reimbursable to the Depositor provided be-
  low, be borne by the Unit Holders, provided, however, that,
  to the extent all of such costs are not borne by Unit Hold-
  ers, the amount of such costs not borne by Unit Holders
  shall be borne by the Depositor and, provided further, how-
  ever, that the liability on the part of the Depositor under
  this section shall not include any fees or other expenses
  incurred in connection with the administration of the Trust
  subsequent to the deposit referred to in Section 2.01.  Upon
  notification from the Depositor that the primary offering
  period is concluded, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Ac-
  count or Accounts specified in the Prospectus or, if no Ac-
  count is therein specified, from the Principal Account, and
  pay to the Depositor the Depositor's reimbursable expenses
  of organizing the Trust and sale of the Trust Units in an
  amount certified to the Trustee by the Depositor.  If the
  balance of the Principal Account is insufficient to make
  such withdrawal, the Trustee shall, as directed by the De-
  positor, sell Securities identified by the Depositor, or
  distribute to the Depositor Securities having a value, as
  determined under Section 4.01 as of the date of distribu-
  tion, sufficient for such reimbursement.  The reimbursement
  provided for in this section shall be for the account of the
  Unitholders of record at the conclusion of the primary of-
  fering period and shall not be reflected in the computation
  of the Unit Value prior thereto.  As used herein, the De-
  positor's reimbursable expenses of organizing the Trust and
  sale of the Trust Units shall include the cost of the ini-
  tial preparation and typesetting of the registration state-
  ment, prospectuses (including preliminary prospectuses), the
  indenture, and other documents relating to the Trust, SEC
  and state blue sky registration fees, the cost of the ini-
  tial valuation of the portfolio and audit of the Trust, the
  initial fees and expenses of the Trustee, and legal and
  other out-of-pocket expenses related thereto, but not in-
  cluding 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.  Any cash which
  the Depositor has identified as to be used for reimbursement
  of expenses pursuant to this Section shall be reserved by
  the Trustee for such purpose and shall not be subject to
  distribution or, unless the Depositor otherwise directs,
  used for payment of redemptions in excess of the per-Unit
  amount allocable to Units tendered for redemption.
