<PAGE>

                  C. Reference to "Dean Witter Select Equity Trust" is replaced
         by "Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Select Equity Trust".

                  D. Section 2.03 is amended to add the following to the end of
         the first paragraph thereof. The number of Units may be increased
         through a split of the Units or decreased through a reverse split
         thereof, as directed by the Depositor, which revised number of Units
         shall be recorded by Trustee on its books.

                  E. Section 3.01 is amended to substitute the following:

                  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 below, be borne by the Unit
         Holders, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, to the extent all of such costs are
         not borne by Unit Holders, the amount of such costs not borne by Unit
         Holders shall be borne by the Depositor and, PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER,
         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 Account or Accounts specified in the Prospectus or, if no Account
         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
         Depositor, 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 distribution, 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 offering
         period and shall not be reflected in the computation of the Unit Value
         prior thereto. As used herein, the Depositor's reimbursable expenses of
         organizing the Trust and sale of the Trust Units shall include the cost
         of the initial preparation and typesetting of the registration
         statement, prospectuses (including preliminary prospectuses), the
         indenture, and other documents relating to the Trust, SEC
<PAGE>

         and state blue sky registration fees, the cost of the initial 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 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. 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.

                  F. The third through fifth paragraphs of Section 3.05 shall be
         amended to provide as follows:

                  On each Distribution Date or within a reasonable period of
         time thereafter, the Trustee shall distribute by mail to each Unit
         Holder of record at the close of business on the preceding Record Date
         at his address appearing on the registration books of the Trustee such
         Unit Holder's income distribution, computed as hereinafter provided,
         plus such holder's pro rata share of the cash balance of the Principal
         Account, each computed as of the preceding Record Date; provided,
         however, that funds credited to the Principal Account in the event of
         the failure of consummation of a contract to purchase Securities
         pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, funds representing the proceeds of the
         sale of Securities pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, and funds
         representing the proceeds of the sale of Securities under Sections 5.02
         or 6.04 in excess of the amounts needed for the purposes of said
         Sections shall not be distributed until the next Distribution Date or
         at such earlier date as shall be determined by the Trustee. The Trustee
         shall not be required to make a distribution from the Principal Amount
         unless the cash balance on deposit therein available for distribution
         shall be sufficient to distribute at least $1.00 per Unit in the case
         of Units initially offered at approximately $1,000 or a proportionately
         lower amount in the case of Units initially offered at less that $1,000
         (E.G. $.001 per Unit in the case of Units initially offered at
         approximately $1.00).

                  The Trustee shall, as of each Record Date, compute and report
         to the Depositor the per-Unit amount of the
<PAGE>

         monthly income distribution to be made on the next following
         Distribution Date (the "Monthly Income Distribution") by (i) estimating
         the annual income of the Trust for the ensuing twelve months (by
         reference to the most recent distributions made on Securities and any
         information received by the Trustee with respect to future dividends or
         other income), (ii) deducting therefrom the estimated costs and
         expenses to be incurred during the twelve-month period for which such
         income has been estimated and (iii) dividing the amount so obtained by
         the result of 12 multiplied by the number of Units outstanding on such
         Record Date. However, unless the Trustee or the Sponsor determines that
         the Monthly Income Distribution should be adjusted as provided
         hereafter, the amount of the Monthly Income Distribution shall be the
         amount computed by the Trustee on the most recent prior, or
         concurrently occurring, Quarterly Computation Date (such "Quarterly
         Computation Date" being the first Record Date and each Record Date
         occurring at three-month intervals thereafter). The Trustee will adjust
         the amount of the Monthly Income Distribution computed on each
         Quarterly Computation Date to reconcile, over the ensuing three Monthly
         Income Distributions, any variance between net income and distributions
         made during the preceding three months. Notwithstanding the preceding,
         the Trustee may reduce the amount of any Monthly Income Distribution in
         the event the Trustee or the Sponsor determines that such adjustment is
         necessary to avoid, or to respond to, a significant discrepancy between
         estimated and actual net income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
         Trustee may adjust the amount of the Monthly Income Distribution in
         order to maintain an average annual cash balance in the Income Account
         of $0.

                  In the event the amount on deposit in the Income Account of
         the Trust on a Distribution Date is not sufficient for the payment of
         the amount of income to be distributed on the basis of the aforesaid
         computation, the Trustee shall advance out of its own funds and cause
         to be deposited in and credited to the Income Account such amount as
         may be required to permit payment of the income distribution to be made
         on such Distribution Date and shall be entitled to be reimbursed,
         without interest, out of the income subsequently received on the first
         Record Date following the date of such advance on which such
         reimbursement may be made without reducing the cash balance of the
         Income Account to an amount less than that required for the next
         ensuing distribution. The Trustee shall be deemed to be the beneficial
         owner of the dividends or
<PAGE>

         other income received by the Trust to the extent of all amounts
         advanced by it pursuant to this paragraph, and such advances shall be
         considered a lien on the Trust prior to the interest of Unit Holders.

                  The amounts to be distributed to each Unit Holder shall be
         that per-Unit income distribution and pro rata share of the cash
         balance of the Principal Account of the Trust, computed as hereinabove
         provided, as shall be represented by the Units owned by such Unit
         Holder as evidenced by the record books of the Trustee as of the
         applicable Record Date.

                  In computing the distribution to be made to any Unit Holder,
         fractions of one cent shall be omitted. After any such distribution,
         any cash balance remaining in the Income Account or the Principal
         Account shall be held in the same manner as other amounts subsequently
         deposited in each of such Accounts, respectively.

                  G. Section 3.15 shall be amended by adding the following to
         the end thereof:

                  The Depositor represents that the price paid by any Unit
         holder for Units acquired through reinvestment of Trust distributions
         will be reduced by the aggregate amount of unpaid deferred sales charge
         at the time of the purchase to offset any subsequent collection by the
         Depositor of deferred sales charge in respect of the Units so acquired.

                                       II.

exchange of shares, or other similar corporate transaction or event, (i) the
aggregate number of shares of Stock available for Awards under Section 5.1
and (ii) the number of shares and exercise price with respect to Options and
the number, prices and dollar value of other Awards, shall be appropriately
adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive. If,
pursuant to the preceding sentence, an adjustment is made to the number of
shares of Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan, a corresponding
adjustment shall be made to the number of shares subject to each Director
Award thereafter granted pursuant to Section 7.1.

                                SECTION 6

                             STOCK OPTIONS
                             -------------

      6.1    GRANT OF OPTIONS. Options may be granted to Participants at such
time or times as shall be determined by the Committee. Options granted under
the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii)
Nonstatutory Stock Options. The Committee shall have complete discretion in
determining the number of Options, if any, to be granted to a Participant.
Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option agreement that shall specify the
type of Option granted, the exercise price, the duration of the Option, the
number of shares of Stock to which the Option pertains, the exercisability
(if any) of the Option in the event of death, retirement, disability or
termination of employment, and such other terms and conditions not
inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine. Options may also
be granted in replacement of or upon assumption of options previously issued
by companies acquired by the Company by merger or stock purchase, and any
options so replaced or assumed may have the same terms including exercise
price as the options so replaced or assumed.

      6.2    OPTION PRICE. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Incentive Stock
Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall have an exercise price which is
not less than the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted.

      6.3 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Options awarded to a Participant under the
Plan shall be exercisable at such times and shall be subject to such
restrictions and conditions as the Committee may impose, subject to the
Committee's right to accelerate the exercisability of such Option in its
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable for
more than ten years after the date on which it is granted.

      6.4    PAYMENT. The Committee shall establish procedures governing the
exercise of Options, which shall require that written notice of exercise be
given and that the Option price be paid in full in cash or cash equivalents,
including by personal check, at the time of exercise or pursuant to any
arrangement that the Committee shall approve. The Committee may, in its
discretion, permit a Participant to make payment (i) by tendering, by either
actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of in Stock already owned
by the Participant valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise
(if such Stock has been owned by the Participant for at least six months) or
(ii) by electing to have the Company retain Stock which would otherwise be
issued on exercise of the Option, valued at its Fair Market Value on the date
of exercise. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written exercise
notice and full payment of the exercise price, the Company shall deliver to
the Participant a certificate or certificates representing the acquired
shares of Stock. The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to pay the
exercise price upon the exercise of an Option by irrevocably authorizing a
third party to sell shares of stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares)
acquired upon the exercise of the Option and remit to the Company a
sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire exercise price and
any required tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

      6.5    INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to
the contrary, no term of this Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall
be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority
granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under
Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of any Participant affected
thereby, to cause any Incentive Stock Option previously granted to fail to
qualify for the Federal income tax treatment afforded under Section 421 of
the Code.

                            DIRECTOR AWARDS
                            ---------------

      7.1    AMOUNT OF AWARD. Each Eligible Director shall receive annually
(i) a grant of a Nonstatutory Stock Option for 9,000 shares of Stock and (ii)
a grant of 1,800 shares of Stock from the Company's treasury shares. Such
grants shall be made each year immediately  following the annual meeting of
Company stockholders to those persons who are Eligible Directors immediately
following such meeting.

      7.2    NO OTHER AWARDS. An Eligible Director shall not receive any
other Award under the Plan.

                                SECTION 8

                       STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
                       -------------------------

      8.1    SAR'S IN TANDEM WITH OPTIONS. Stock Appreciation Rights may be
granted to Participants in tandem with any Option granted under the Plan,
either at or after the time of the grant of such Option, subject to such
terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as
the Committee shall determine. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall only be
exercisable to the extent that the corresponding Option is exercisable, and
shall terminate upon termination or exercise of the corresponding Option.
Upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right, the corresponding Option
shall terminate.

      8.2    OTHER STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Stock Appreciation Rights may
also be granted to Participants separately from any Option, subject to such
terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as
the Committee shall determine.

                                SECTION 9

                            RESTRICTED STOCK
                            ----------------

      9.1    GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The Committee may grant Restricted
Stock to Participants at such times and in such amounts, and subject to such
other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as it shall
determine. Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be subject to such
restrictions, which may relate to continued employment with the Company,
performance of the Company, or other restrictions, as the Committee may
determine. Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a written
agreement setting forth the terms of such Award.

      9.2    REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS. The Committee may accelerate or waive
such restrictions in whole or in part at any time in its discretion.

                                SECTION 10

                              STOCK BONUSES
                              -------------

      10.1   GRANT OF STOCK BONUSES. The Committee may grant a Stock Bonus to
a Participant at such times and in such amounts, and subject to such other
terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, as it shall determine.
Such stock bonuses shall only be granted in lieu of cash compensation
otherwise payable to an employee.

                                SECTION 11

              AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
              ------------------------------------------------

      11.1   GENERAL. The Board may from time to time amend, modify or
terminate any or all of the provisions of the Plan, subject to the provisions
of this Section 11.1. The Board may not change the Plan in a manner which
would prevent outstanding Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan from
being Incentive Stock Options without the written  consent of the optionees
concerned. Furthermore, the Board may not make any amendment which would (i)
materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, (ii)
increase the number of shares of Stock subject to Awards under the Plan
pursuant to Section 5.1, or (iii) change the minimum exercise price for stock
options as provided in Section 6.2, in each case without the approval of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Stock entitled to vote thereon. No
amendment or modification shall affect the rights of any Employee with
respect to a previously granted Award, nor shall any amendment or
modification affect the rights of any Eligible Director pursuant to a
previously granted Director Award, without the written consent of the
Employee or Eligible Director.

      11.2   TERMINATION OF PLAN. No further Options shall be granted under
the Plan subsequent to September 30, 2010, or such earlier date as may be
determined by the Board.

                               SECTION 12

                       MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
                       ------------------------

      12.1   NONTRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. Except as otherwise provided by
the Committee, no Awards granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution.

      12.2   BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. Each Participant under the Plan may
from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named
contingent or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid
or by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of his death.
Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant
shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only
when filed in writing with the Committee. In the absence of any such
designation, Awards outstanding at death may be exercised by the
Participant's surviving spouse, if any, or otherwise by his estate.

      12.3   NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT OR PARTICIPATION. Nothing in the Plan
shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary to terminate any Participant's employment at any time, nor confer
upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or
any Subsidiary. No Employee shall have a right to be selected as a
Participant, or, having been so selected, to receive any future Awards.

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.1

      12.4   TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the power to withhold,
or require a Participant or Eligible Director to remit to the Company, an
amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax
requirements on any Award under the Plan, and the Company may defer issuance
of Stock until such requirements are satisfied. The Committee may, in its
discretion, permit a Participant to elect, subject to such conditions as the
Committee shall impose, (i) to have shares of Stock otherwise issuable under
the Plan withheld by the Company or (ii) to deliver to the Company previously
acquired shares of Stock, in each case having a Fair Market Value sufficient
to satisfy all or part of the Participant's estimated total federal, state
and local tax obligation associated with the transaction.

      12.5   CHANGE OF CONTROL. On the date of a Change of Control (as herein
defined), all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become
immediately exercisable and all restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock
shall lapse. Change of Control shall mean:

             (a)   The acquisition (other than from the Company) by any person,
      entity or "group," within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of
      the Act (excluding any acquisition or holding by (i) the Company or its
      subsidiaries (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or its
      subsidiaries which acquires beneficial ownership of voting securities of
      the Company) of beneficial  ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
      promulgated under the Act) of 30% or more of either the then outstanding
      shares of common stock or the combined voting power of the Company's then
      outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election
      of directors; or

             (b)   Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board
      (as of the date hereof the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
      constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person
      becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or
      nomination for the election by the Company's stockholders, was approved
      by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
      Incumbent Board shall be, for purposes of this Plan, considered as though
      such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or

             (c)   Approval  by  the  stockholders  of the  Company  of a
      reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, in which the
      Company is not the surviving entity and with respect to which persons
      who were the stockholders of the Company immediately  prior  to such
      reorganization,  merger  or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter,
      own more than 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally
      in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated
      company's then outstanding voting securities, or a liquidation or
      dissolution of the Company or of the sale of all or substantially all of
      the assets of the Company.

      12.6   AGREEMENTS WITH COMPANY. An Award under the Plan shall be
subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe. The terms and conditions of
any Award to any Participant shall be reflected in such form of written
document as is determined by the Committee or its designee.

      12.7   COMPANY INTENT. The Company intends that the Plan comply in all
respects with Rule 16b-3 under the Act, and any ambiguities or
inconsistencies in the construction of the Plan shall be interpreted to give
effect to such intention.
