Section 3. Designation of Trust and Certificates. The Trust created
hereby shall be known as the "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, AT&T
Wireless Services Note-Backed Series 2002-7 Trust." The Certificates
evidencing certain undivided ownership interests therein shall be known as
"Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, AT&T Wireless Services Note-Backed
Series 2002-7." The Certificates shall consist of the Class A-1 Certificates
and the Class A-2 Certificates (together, the "Certificates"). The Trust is
also issuing call warrants with respect to the Certificates ("Call Warrants").
(a) The Certificates shall be held through the Depository in book-entry
form and shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A-1
and A-2. The Class A-1 Certificates shall be issued
7
in denominations of $25. The Class A-2 Certificates shall be issued in
minimum notional denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in
excess thereof; provided, however, that on any Call Date on which a Warrant
Holder shall concurrently exchange Called Certificates for a distribution of
Underlying Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof,
Called Certificates may be issued in other denominations. Except as provided
in the Standard Terms and in paragraph (d) in this Section, the Trust shall
not issue additional Certificates or additional Call Warrants or incur any
indebtedness.
(b) The Class A-1 Certificates consist of 1,200,000 Certificates having
an initial aggregate certificate principal amount (the "Certificate Principal
Balance") of $30,000,000. The Class A-2 Certificates are interest-only
Certificates, and shall have an initial aggregate notional amount equal to the
initial Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates.
(c) The holders of the Class A-1 Certificates will be entitled to receive
on each Distribution Date the interest, if any, received on the Underlying
Securities, to the extent necessary to pay interest at a rate of 8.00% per
annum on the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1
Certificates. The holders of the Class A-2 Certificates will be entitled to
receive on each Distribution Date the interest, if any, received on the
Underlying Securities, to the extent necessary to pay interest at a rate of
0.75% per annum on the outstanding notional amount of the Class A-2
Certificates. On September 1, 2002, the Trustee will pay to the Depositor the
amount of interest accrued and paid on the Underlying Securities from March 1,
2002, to but not including the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the
event an Optional Exchange Date shall occur prior to September 1, 2002, a pro
rata portion of such amount shall be paid to the Depositor on the Optional
Exchange Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b)(ix) hereof. If
Available Funds are insufficient to pay such amount, the Trustee will pay the
Depositor its pro rata share, based on the ratio the amount owed to the
Depositor bears to all amounts owed on the Certificates in respect of accrued
interest, of any proceeds from the recovery on the Underlying Securities.
(d) The Depositor may sell to the Trustee additional Underlying
Securities on any date hereafter upon at least 3 Business Days' notice to the
Trustee (or such shorter period as shall be mutually satisfactory to the
Depositor and the Trustee) and upon (i) satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition and (ii) delivery of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
sale of such additional Underlying Securities will not cause the Trust to be
taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes. Each condition to be satisfied
with respect to a sale of Underlying Securities on or prior to the Closing
Date shall be satisfied with respect to a sale of additional Underlying
Securities no later than the date of sale thereof, each representation and
warranty set forth in the Standard Terms to be made on the Closing Date shall
be made on such date of sale, and from and after such date of sale, all
Underlying Securities held by the Trustee shall be held on the same terms and
conditions. Upon such sale to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deposit such
additional Underlying Securities in the Certificate Account, and shall
authenticate and deliver to the Depositor, on its order, Class A-1
Certificates in a Certificate Principal Balance, and Class A-2 Certificates in
a notional amount, equal to the principal amount of such additional Underlying
Securities, and the Call Warrants related thereto. Any such additional Class
A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates authenticated and delivered shall
have the same terms and rank pari passu with the corresponding classes of
Certificates previously issued in accordance with this Series Supplement.

prospective transferor shall be required to deliver to the Trustee an executed
copy of an Investment Letter with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates or
Call Warrants, as applicable, to be transferred substantially in the form of
Exhibit C hereto. Prior to any offer, resale, assignment or transfer of any
Class A-2 Certificates or Call Warrants in the manner described in clause (iv)
above, the prospective transferee and the prospective transferor shall be
required to deliver to the Trustee documentation certifying that the offer,
resale, assignment or transfer complies with the provisions of said clause

have not been and will not be registered under the
Securities Act.
(3) The transferee agrees that (A) if in the future it decides

statement under the Securities Act, (iii) to a QIB, in

transferee will, and each subsequent holder is required to,
notify any
9
subsequent purchaser of such Class A-2 Certificates or Call
Warrants, as applicable, from it of the resale restrictions
referred to in clause (A) above.
(f) The Class A-2 Certificates will, unless otherwise agreed by the
Depositor and the Trustee, bear a legend substantially to the following

"THIS CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) HAS NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS IN
EFFECT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT.
THE CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE
TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE SERIES
SUPPLEMENT.
EACH PURCHASER OF THIS CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE IS HEREBY
NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE MAY
BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5
OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER."

on or prior to the Closing Date, of:

Section 2.01 of the Standard Terms.
Section 5. Distributions.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3(c), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(i) on

follows:
(i) The Trustee will pay the interest portion of Available Funds:

with Section 6(b) below and approved by 100% of the
Certificateholders; and
(2) second, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates.
Any portion of the Available Funds (i) that does not constitute principal of,
or interest on, the Underlying Securities, (ii) that is not received in
connection with a redemption, prepayment or liquidation of the Underlying
Securities and (iii) for which allocation by the Trustee is not otherwise
contemplated by this Series Supplement, shall be remitted by the Trustee to
the Depositor.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underlying Securities are
redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part for any reason other than
due to the occurrence of an Underlying Securities Event of Default, the
cessation of the Underlying Securities Issuer to file periodic reports as
required by the Exchange Act or at their maturity, the Trustee shall apply
Available Funds in the manner described in Section 5(h) in the following order
of priority:
(i) first, to the Trustee, as reimbursement for any Extraordinary
Trust Expenses incurred by the Trustee in accordance with
Section 6(b) below and approved by 100% of the
Certificateholders;
(ii) second, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, an
amount equal to the principal amount of Underlying Securities
so redeemed, prepaid or liquidated plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the amount of Class A-1 Certificates so redeemed;
(iii) third, to the holders of the Class A-2 Certificates, the
present value of all amounts that would otherwise have been
payable on the Class A-2 Certificates for the period from the
date of such redemption or prepayment to the Final Scheduled
Distribution Date using a discount rate of 8.00% per annum,
assuming no delinquencies, deferrals, redemptions or
prepayments on the Underlying Securities; and
(iv) fourth, any remainder to the holders of the Class A-1
Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates pro rata in
proportion to the ratio of the Class A-1 Allocation to the
Class A-2 Allocation.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underlying Securities are
redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part due to the occurrence of
an Underlying Securities Event of Default, the Trustee shall apply Available
Funds to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and the holders of the
Class A-2 Certificates in accordance with the ratio of the Class A-1
Allocation to the Class A-2 Allocation.
11
(e) Unless otherwise instructed by holders of Certificates representing a
majority of the Voting Rights, thirty (30) days after giving notice pursuant
to Section 8 hereof, the Trustee shall sell the Underlying Securities pursuant
to Section 13 hereof and deposit the Liquidation Proceeds, if any, into the
Certificate Account for distribution not later than two (2) Business Days
after the receipt of immediately available funds in accordance with Section
5(d) hereof provided, however, that if any Warrant Holder designates any day
on or prior to the proposed sale date as a Call Date and Optional Exchange
Date pursuant to Section 7, the portion of Underlying Securities related to
such Optional Exchange shall not be sold but shall be distributed to the
Warrant Holder pursuant to Section 7 and the Warrant Agent Agreement.
(f) If the Trustee receives non-cash property in respect of the
Underlying Securities as a result of a payment default on the Underlying
Securities (including from the sale thereof), the Trustee will promptly give
notice to the Depository, or for any Certificates which are not then held by
DTC or any other depository, directly to the registered holders of the
Certificates then outstanding and unpaid and to the Warrant Agent. Such notice
shall state that the Trustee shall and the Trustee shall, not later than 30
days after the receipt of such property, allocate and distribute such property
to the holders of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates then
outstanding and unpaid (after deducting the costs incurred in connection
therewith) in accordance with Section 5(d) hereof. Property other than cash
will be liquidated by the Trustee, and the proceeds thereof distributed in
cash, only to the extent necessary to avoid distribution of fractional
securities to Certificateholders. In-kind distribution of such property to
Certificateholders, based on the market value of such property as of the date
of distribution to Certificateholders, will be deemed to reduce the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates on a
dollar-for-dollar basis. The outstanding notional amount of the Class A-2
Certificates shall be reduced, pro rata among all Class A-2
Certificateholders, by an amount equal to the amount by which the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates is reduced.
(g) Subject to Section 9(f) hereof, to the extent Available Funds are
insufficient to make any scheduled interest or principal payments on any class
of Certificates on any Distribution Date, any shortfall will be carried over
and will be distributed on the next Distribution Date (or date referred to in
Section 5(h) hereof) on which sufficient funds are available to pay such
shortfall.
(h) If a payment with respect to the Underlying Securities is made to the
Trustee in connection with redemption, prepayment or liquidation, in whole or
in part, of the Underlying Securities for any reason other than due to the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the cessation of the Underlying Securities
Issuer to file periodic reports as required by the Exchange Act or at their
maturity, the Trustee will distribute any such amounts received in accordance
with Section 5(c) on the next occurring Business Day (a "Special Distribution
Date") as if the funds had constituted Available Funds on the Distribution
Date immediately preceding such Special Distribution Date; provided, however,
that the Record Date for such Special Distribution Date shall be one Business
Day prior to the day on which the related payment was received with respect to
the Underlying Securities.
(i) Notwithstanding Section 3.12 of the Standard Terms, if the Underlying
Securities Issuer ceases to file periodic reports as required under the
Exchange Act, the Depositor shall
12
within a reasonable time instruct the Trustee to (i) notify the Warrant
Agent that the Underlying Securities are proposed to be sold and that any Call
Warrants and related Optional Exchange rights must be exercised no later than
the date specified in the notice (which shall be not less than ten Business
Days after the date of such notice) and (ii) to the extent that the Warrant
Holders fail to exercise their Call Warrants and related Optional Exchange
rights on or prior to such date, to sell the Underlying Securities and
distribute the proceeds of such sale to the Certificateholders in accordance
with the following order of priority: first, to the Trustee, as reimbursement
for any Extraordinary Trust Expenses incurred by the Trustee in accordance
with Section 6(b) below and approved by 100% of the Certificateholders; and
second, any remainder to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and the
Class A-2 Certificates pro rata in proportion to the ratio of the Class A-1
Allocation to the Class A-2 Allocation; provided, however, the Depositor shall
not instruct the Trustee to sell the Underlying Securities (or provide a
notice of such instruction to the Warrant Agent) pursuant to this clause
unless the Underlying Securities Issuer has either (x) stated in writing that
it intends permanently to cease filing reports required under the Exchange Act
or (y) failed to file any required reports for one full calendar year.
(j) On any date on which Underlying Securities are redeemed, prepaid or
liquidated for any reason, the aggregate outstanding notional amount of the
Class A-2 Certificates shall be reduced by an amount equal to the principal
amount of the Underlying Securities so redeemed, prepaid or liquidated, the
reduction to be allocated pro rata among all Class A-2 Certificates.
Section 6. Trustee's Fees.
(a) As compensation for its services hereunder, the Trustee shall be
entitled to the Trustee Fee. The Trustee Fee shall be paid by the Depositor
and not from Trust Property. The Trustee shall bear all Ordinary Expenses.
Failure by the Depositor to pay such amount shall not entitle the Trustee to
any payment or reimbursement from the Trust, nor shall such failure release
the Trustee from the duties it is required to perform under the Trust
Agreement.
(b) Extraordinary Expenses shall not be paid out of the Trust Property
unless all the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates then outstanding have directed the Trustee to incur such
Extraordinary Expenses. The Trustee may incur other Extraordinary Expenses if
any lesser percentage of the Certificateholders requesting such action
pursuant hereto reimburse the Trustee for the cost thereof from their own
funds in advance. If Extraordinary Expenses are not approved unanimously as
set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6(b), such Extraordinary
Expenses shall not be an obligation of the Trust, and the Trustee shall not
file any claim against the Trust therefor notwithstanding failure of
Certificateholders to reimburse the Trustee.
Section 7. Optional Call; Optional Exchange.
(a) On (A) any Distribution Date, (B) any date on which a tender offer
for some or all of the Underlying Securities is consummated or (C) any date on
which the Underlying Securities are to be redeemed by the Underlying
Securities Issuer, any holder of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates and the related Call Warrants, if Call Warrants related to such
Certificates are outstanding, may exchange such Certificates and, if
applicable, Call Warrants, for a distribution of Underlying Securities
representing the same percentage of the Underlying
13
Securities as such Certificates represent of all outstanding Certificates. On
any Call Date, any Warrant Holder may exchange Called Certificates for a
distribution of Underlying Securities representing the same percentage of
Underlying Securities as such Called Certificates represent of all outstanding
Certificates; provided that any such exchange shall either (x) result from an
exercise of all Call Warrants owned by such Warrant Holder or (y) occur on a
Call Date on which such Warrant Holder, alone or together with one or more
other Warrant Holders, shall exchange Called Certificates relating to
Underlying Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to or in
excess of the product of (i) 0.1 and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of
the Underlying Securities deposited into the Trust on the Closing Date.
(b) The following conditions shall apply to any Optional Exchange.
(i) A notice specifying the number of Certificates being surrendered
and the Optional Exchange Date shall be delivered to the Trustee no less
than 5 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) but not
more than 30 days before the Optional Exchange Date; provided that for an
Optional Exchange to occur on a Call Date, unless otherwise specified
therein, the Call Notice shall be deemed to be the notice required
hereunder.
(ii) Certificates and, if applicable, the Call Warrants, shall be
surrendered to the Trustee no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the Optional Exchange Date; provided that for an Optional Exchange to
occur on a Call Date, payment of the Call Price to the Warrant Agent
pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(iii) of the Warrant Agent Agreement shall
satisfy the requirement to surrender Certificates.
(iii) Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates representing
a like percentage of all Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates shall be surrendered.
(iv) The Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel stating
that the Optional Exchange would not cause the Trust to be treated as an
association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes.
(v) If the Certificateholder is the Depositor or any Affiliate of
the Depositor, (1) the Trustee shall have received a certification from
the Certificateholder that any Certificates being surrendered have been
held for at least six months, and (2) the Certificates being surrendered
may represent no more than 5% (or 25% in the case of Certificates
acquired by the Underwriters but never distributed to investors) of the
then outstanding Certificates.
(vi) The Trustee shall not be obligated to determine whether an
Optional Exchange complies with the applicable provisions for exemption
under Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the
rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.
(vii) The provisions of Section 4.07 of the Standard Terms shall not
apply to an Optional Exchange pursuant to this Section 7(b). This Section
7(b) shall not provide any person with a lien against, an interest in or
a right to specific performance with respect to the Underlying
Securities; provided that satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
this
14
Section 7(b) shall entitle the Certificateholder or Warrant Holder,
as applicable, to a distribution thereof.
(viii) The aggregate principal amount of Certificates exchanged in
connection with any Optional Exchange pursuant to this Section shall be
in an amount that will entitle the Certificateholders thereof to
Underlying Securities in an even multiple of the minimum denomination of
such Underlying Securities.
(ix) In the event such Optional Exchange shall occur prior to
September 1, 2002, the Certificateholders shall have paid to the Trustee,
for distribution to the Depositor, on the Optional Exchange Date an
amount equal to the sum obtained by multiplying the amount of accrued
interest on the Underlying Securities from March 1, 2002 through, but
excluding, the Closing Date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of Certificates being exchanged on such Optional Exchange
Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of
Certificates.
(c) Concurrently with the execution of this Series Supplement, the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute the Warrant Agent Agreement and
the Call Warrants, dated as of the date hereof and substantially in the form
of Exhibit B hereto, initially evidencing all of the Call Warrants. The
Trustee shall perform the Trust's obligations under the Warrant Agent
Agreement and the Call Warrants in accordance with their respective terms.
(d) Call Warrants may be exercised by the Warrant Holder in whole or in
part on any Call Date. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 1.1
of the Warrant Agent Agreement, the following conditions shall apply to any
Optional Call.
(i) An opinion of counsel to the Warrant Holder shall have been
delivered to the Rating Agencies, in form satisfactory to the Rating
Agencies, indicating that payment of the Call Price shall not be
recoverable as a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance under the
United States Bankruptcy Code. Such opinion may contain customary
assumptions and qualifications.
(ii) The Warrant Holder shall have provided a certificate of
solvency to the Trustee.
(iii) Upon receipt of a Call Notice, the Trustee shall provide a
conditional call notice to the Depository not less than 3 Business Days
prior to the Call Date.
(iv) Delivery of a Call Notice does not give rise to an obligation
on the part of the Warrant Holder to pay the Call Price. If, by 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date, the Warrant Holder has not
paid the Call Price, except in connection with a Call Notice relating to
a tender offer for the Underlying Securities, then the Call Notice shall
automatically expire and none of the Warrant Holder, the Warrant Agent or
the Trustee shall have any obligation with respect to the Call Notice.
The expiration of a Call Notice shall in no way affect the Warrant
Xxxxxx's right to deliver a Call Notice at a later date. The Call Price
for a call in connection with a tender offer shall be deducted from the
proceeds of a tender offer by the Trust pursuant to Section 7(g)(iii).
15
(v) Subject to receipt of the Call Price, the Trustee shall pay the
Call Price to the Certificateholders on the Call Date. The Call Price for
each Class of Certificates in respect of partial calls shall be allocated
pro rata to the Certificateholders of such Class.
(vi) The Trustee shall not consent to any amendment or modification
of this Agreement (including the Standard Terms) which would adversely
affect the Warrant Holders (including, without limitation, any alteration
of the timing or amount of any payment of the Call Price or any other
provision of this Agreement in a manner adverse to the Warrant Holders)
without the prior written consent of 100% of the Warrant Holders. For
purposes of this clause, no amendment, modification or supplement
required to provide for any purchase by the Trustee of additional
Underlying Securities and authentication and delivery by the Trustee of
additional Certificates and Call Warrants pursuant to Section 3(d) shall
be deemed to adversely affect the Warrant Holders.
(vii) The Trustee shall not be obligated to determine whether an
Optional Call complies with the applicable provisions for exemption under
Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules
or regulations promulgated thereunder.
(e) This Section 7 shall not provide the Warrant Holder with a lien
against, an interest in or a right to specific performance with respect to the
Underlying Securities; provided that satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 7(b) shall entitle the Certificateholders or the Warrant Holders,
as applicable, to a distribution of the Underlying Securities.
(f) The rights of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement and
the Certificates are limited by the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Trust Agreement, the Warrant Agent Agreement and the Call Warrants with
respect to the exercise of the Call Warrants by the Warrant Holder. The
Certificateholders, by their acceptance of Certificates, covenant and agree to
tender any and all Called Certificates to the Trustee upon the Warrant
Holder's exercise of Call Warrants and payment of the Call Price for such
Certificates in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Warrant Agent
Agreement.
(g) (i) If the Trustee receives notice of a tender offer for some or
all of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall within one Business
Day notify the Warrant Agent and forward to the Warrant Agent copies of
all materials received by the Trustee in connection therewith. If the
Trustee receives a Call Notice from any Warrant Holder no later than five
Business Days prior to the expiration of the tender offer acceptance
period that such Warrant Holder desires to exercise all or a portion of
its Call Warrants in connection with the consummation of any such tender
offer, then the Trustee shall tender, in compliance with the tender offer
requirements, an amount of Underlying Securities equal to the amount of
Underlying Securities that would be distributable to the Warrant Holder
with respect to an Optional Exchange of the Called Certificates called by
such Warrant Holder; provided that any Optional Call or Optional Exchange
undertaken in connection with any such tender offer shall be subject to
the provisions of Section 7 hereof.
16
(ii) The Call Date and Optional Exchange Date for any exercise of
Call Warrants in connection with a tender offer shall be deemed to be the
Business Day on which such Underlying Securities are accepted for payment
and paid for.
(iii) The Call Price shall be deducted from the tender offer
proceeds and paid to Certificateholders in connection with Section
7(d)(v), and the excess of the tender offer proceeds over the Call Price
shall be paid to the exercising Warrant Holders pro rata in respect to
their proportionate exercises of Call Warrants or, if the Call Price
exceeds the tender offer proceeds, the amount of such excess shall be
paid by the exercising Warrant Holders pro rata in respect to their
proportionate exercises of Call Warrants.
(iv) If fewer than all tendered Underlying Securities are accepted
for payment and paid for, (A) the amount of Call Warrants exercised shall
be reduced to an amount that corresponds to a number of Certificates that
could be exchanged in an Optional Exchange for the Underlying Securities
accepted for payment and paid for (without regard to any restrictions on
the amount to be exchanged, so long as such restrictions would have been
satisfied had all tendered Underlying Securities been accepted for
payment and paid for); (B) each Warrant Holder's exercise shall be
reduced by its share (proportionate to the amount specified in its
exercise notice) of the amount of Underlying Securities not accepted for
payment and paid for; (C) the Call Price shall be determined after giving
effect to the reduction specified in clause (B); (D) the Call Warrants
that relate to the reduction specified in clause (B) shall remain
outstanding; and (E) the excess of the tender offer proceeds over the
Call Price shall be allocated in proportion to the amount of Call
Warrants deemed exercised as set forth in clause (A) above or, if the
Call Price exceeds the tender offer proceeds the amount of such excess
shall be paid by the exercising Warrant Holders pro rata in respect to
their proportionate exercises of Call Warrants.
(v) If the tender offer is terminated by the Underlying Securities
Issuer or any other tender offeror without consummation thereof or if all
tenders by the Trust of Underlying Securities are otherwise rejected,
then (1) the Call Notices will be of no further force and effect, and (2)
any Call Warrants relating to such Call Notices will not be exercised and
will remain outstanding.
Section 8. Notices of Events of Default.
As promptly as practicable after, and in any event within 30
days after, the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall give notice of such Event of Default to the
Depository, or, if any Certificates are not then held by DTC or any other
depository, directly to the registered holders of such Certificates, and to
the Warrant Agent. However, except in the case of an Event of Default relating
to the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Underlying
Securities, the Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if in
good faith it determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
interest of the Certificateholders.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.

not apply to the AT&T Wireless Services Note-Backed Series 2002-7

(f) If the Trustee has not received payment with respect to a Collection
Period on the Underlying Securities on or prior to the related Distribution
Date, such distribution will be made promptly upon receipt of such payment. No
additional amounts shall accrue on the Certificates or be owed to
Certificateholders as a result of such delay; provided, however, that any
additional interest owed and paid by the Underlying Securities Issuer as a
result of such delay shall be paid to the Class A-1 Certificateholders and
Class A-2 Certificateholders pro rata in proportion to their respective
entitlements to such delayed payments.
(g) The outstanding principal balance of the Certificates shall not be
reduced by the amount of any Realized Losses (as defined in the Standard
Terms).
(h) The Trust may not engage in any business or activities other than in
connection with, or relating to, the holding, protecting and preserving of the
Trust Property and the issuance of the Certificates and the Call Warrants, and
other than those required or authorized by the Trust Agreement or incidental
and necessary to accomplish such activities. The Trust may not issue or sell
any certificates or other obligations other than the Certificates and the Call
Warrants or otherwise incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money
borrowed. Notwithstanding Section 3.05 of the Standard Terms, funds on deposit
in the Certificate Account shall not be invested. Section 2.01(f) of the
Standard Terms shall be superseded by this provision.
(i) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee may be removed upon 60 days prior written notice delivered by the
holders of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates representing the
Required Percentage-Removal.
(j) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service challenges the
characterization of the Trust as a grantor trust, the Trustee shall then file
such forms as the Depositor may specify to establish the Trust's election
pursuant to Section 761 of the Code to exclude the Trust from the application
of Subchapter K of the Code and is hereby empowered to execute such forms on
behalf of the Certificateholders.
(k) Notwithstanding anything in the Standard Terms to the contrary, the
Trustee, upon written direction by the Depositor, will execute the
Certificates.
18
(l) In relation to Section 7.01(f) of the Standard Terms, any periodic
reports filed by the Trustee pursuant to the Exchange Act in accordance with
the customary practices of the Depositor, need not contain any independent
reports.
(m) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee will have no recourse to the Underlying Securities.
(n) [Reserved].
(o) The Trust will not merge or consolidate with any other entity without
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such merger or consolidation will
not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current
rating on the Certificates.

and the following shall be deemed to be inserted in its place:
"at the time of delivery of the Underlying Securities, the Depositor owns
such Underlying Securities, has the right to transfer its interest in such
Underlying Securities and such Underlying Securities are free and clear of any
lien, pledge, encumbrance, right, charge, claim or other security interest;
and"
Section 10. Governing Law. THIS SERIES SUPPLEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS
DESCRIBED HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED
WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAWS
PROVISIONS THEREOF.
Section 11. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and
all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 12. Termination of the Trust. The Trust shall terminate upon the
earliest to occur of (i) the payment in full at maturity or sale by the Trust
after a payment default or an
20
acceleration or other early payment of the Underlying Securities and the
distribution in full of all amounts due to the Class A-1 Certificateholders
and Class A-2 Certificateholders; (ii) the exercise of all outstanding Call
Warrants by the Warrant Holder; (iii) the Final Scheduled Distribution Date
and (iv) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Section 13. Sale of Underlying Securities; Optional Exchange. In the
event of a sale of the Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof
or pursuant to the instructions of the Warrant Agent under Section 1.2 of the
Warrant Agent Agreement, the Trustee shall solicit bids for the sale of the
Underlying Securities with settlement thereof on or before the third (3rd)
Business Day after such sale from three leading dealers in the relevant
market. Any of the following dealers (or their successors) shall be deemed to
qualify as leading dealers: (1) Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, (2)
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., (3) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated,
(4) UBS Warburg LLC, (5) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Inc., and (6) except in the case
of a sale related to the exercise of Call Warrants by the Depositor or any
Affiliate thereof, Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for the failure to obtain a bid so long as it has made reasonable efforts to
obtain bids. If a bid for the sale of the Underlying Securities has been
accepted by the Trustee but the sale has failed to settle on the proposed
settlement date, the Trustee shall request new bids from such leading dealers
to the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificateholders. In the event of an Optional
Exchange, the Trustee shall only deliver the Underlying Securities to the
purchaser of such Underlying Securities or sell the Underlying Securities
pursuant to this Section 13, as the case may be, against payment in same day
funds deposited into the Certificate Account.
Section 14. Amendments. Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement
to the contrary, in addition to the other restrictions on modification and
amendment contained therein, the Trustee shall not enter into any amendment or
modification of the Trust Agreement which would adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the holders of any class of Certificates
without the consent of the holders of 100% of such class of Certificates;
provided, however, that no such amendment or modification will be permitted
which would cause the Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Unless
otherwise agreed, the Trustee shall provide five Business Days written notice
to each Rating Agency before entering into any amendment or modification of
the Trust Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.
Section 15. Voting of Underlying Securities, Modification of Indenture.
(a) The Trustee, as holder of the Underlying Securities, has the right to
vote and give consents and waivers in respect of the Underlying Securities as
permitted by the Depository and except as otherwise limited by the Trust
Agreement. In the event that the Trustee receives a request from the
Depository, the Underlying Securities Trustee or the Underlying Securities
Issuer for its consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of the
Underlying Securities, the Indenture or any other document thereunder or
relating thereto, or receives any other solicitation for any action with
respect to the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall mail a notice of such
proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation to each
Certificateholder of record as of such date. The Trustee shall request
instructions from the Certificateholders as to whether or
21
not to consent to or vote to accept such amendment, modification, waiver or
solicitation. The Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or
voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances of the Class A-1 Certificates) as the Certificates of the
Trust were actually voted or not voted by the Certificateholders thereof as of
a date determined by the Trustee prior to the date on which such consent or
vote is required; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the
Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall at no time vote on or
consent to any matter (i) unless such vote or consent would not (based on an
opinion of counsel) cause the Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly
traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the Code, (ii) which would
alter the timing or amount of any payment on the Underlying Securities,
including, without limitation, any demand to accelerate the Underlying
Securities, except in the event of a default under the Underlying Securities
or an event which with the passage of time would become an event of default
under the Underlying Securities and with the unanimous consent of holders of
all outstanding Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and all Warrant
Holders, or (iii) which would result in the exchange or substitution of any of
the outstanding Underlying Securities pursuant to a plan for the refunding or
refinancing of such Underlying Securities except in the event of a default
under the Indenture and only with the consent of Certificateholders
representing 100% of the Class A-1 Certificates, 100% of the Class A-2
Certificates and 100% of the Warrant Holders. The Trustee shall have no
liability for any failure to act resulting from Certificateholders' late
return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the
Certificateholders.
(b) In the event that an offer is made by the Underlying Securities
Issuer to issue new obligations in exchange and substitution for any of the
Underlying Securities, pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of
the outstanding Underlying Securities or any other offer is made for the
Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall notify the Class A-1
Certificateholders, Class A-2 Certificateholders and the Warrant Holders of
such offer promptly. Subject to the rights of the Warrant Holders to exercise
Call Warrants in connection with a tender offer for the Underlying Securities,
the Trustee must reject any such offer unless the Trustee is directed by the
affirmative vote of the holders of 100% of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class
A-2 Certificates and Call Warrants to accept such offer and the Trustee has
received the tax opinion described above. If pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Trustee accepts any such offer the Trustee shall promptly notify
the Rating Agencies.
(c) If an event of default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing,
and if directed by a majority of the outstanding Class A-1 Certificateholders
and Class A-2 Certificateholders, the Trustee shall vote the Underlying
Securities in favor of directing, or take such other action as may be
appropriate to direct, the Underlying Securities Trustee to declare the unpaid
principal amount of the Underlying Securities and any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to be due and payable.
Section 16. Additional Depositor Representation. It is the express intent
of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Underlying Securities by the
Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Underlying
Securities by the Depositor and not a pledge of any Underlying Securities by
the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. In the
event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, any
Underlying Securities are held to be property of the Depositor, then, it is
the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of
such Underlying Securities by the Depositor to the
22
Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor, pursuant to
Section 10.07 of the Standard Terms. In connection with any such grant of a
security interest in the Underlying Securities (including any such grant in
connection with any sale of additional Underlying Securities pursuant to
Section 3(d)), the Depositor hereby represents and warrants to Trustee as
follows:
(i) In the event the Underlying Securities are held to be property of
the Depositor, then the Trust Agreement creates a valid and
continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform
Commercial Code) in the Underlying Securities in favor of the
Trustee which security interest is prior to all other liens, and
is enforceable as such as against creditors of, and purchasers
from, the Depositor.
(ii) The Underlying Securities have been credited to a trust
account (the "Securities Account") of the Trustee, or its
authorized agent, in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Standard
Terms. The Trustee, as securities intermediary for the Securities
Account, has agreed to treat the Underlying Securities as
"financial assets" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial
Code.
(iii) Immediately prior to the transfer of the Underlying
Securities to the Trust, Depositor owned and had good and
marketable title to the Underlying Securities free and clear of
any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.
(iv) Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by
the terms of the Underlying Securities to the transfer to the
Trustee of its interest and rights in the Underlying Securities as
contemplated by the Trust Agreement.
(v) Depositor has taken all steps necessary to cause the Trustee,
as securities intermediary for the Securities Account, to identify
on its records that the Trustee, as the trustee of the Trust, is
the Person having a security entitlement against the securities
intermediary in the Securities Account.
(vi) Depositor has not assigned, pledged, sold, granted a security
interest in or otherwise conveyed any interest in the Underlying
Securities (or, if any such interest has been assigned, pledged or
otherwise encumbered, it has been released). Depositor has not
authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
statements against Depositor that includes a description of the
Underlying Securities. Depositor is not aware of any judgment or
tax lien filings against Depositor.
(vii) The Securities Account is not in the name of any Person other than
the Trust. Depositor has not consented to the compliance by the
Trustee, as securities intermediary, with entitlement orders of
any Person other than the Trustee, as trustee of the Trust.
23
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Series
Supplement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of
the date first written above.

(a) Manner of Exercise. (a) Call Warrants may be exercised by any holder
thereof (each, a "Warrant Holder") in whole or in part on any Call Date. The
following conditions shall apply to any exercise of Call Warrants:
(1) A notice (each, a "Call Notice") specifying the number of

Agent, by wire transfer or other immediately available funds
acceptable to the Warrant Agent, in the amount of the Call Price, no
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date.
(i) The Warrant Holder shall exercise Call Warrants
relating to Class A-1 Certificates and Call Warrants relating
to Class A-2 Certificates which represent a like percentage of
all Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates.
(ii) The Warrant Holder may not exercise the Call Warrants
at any time when such Warrant Holder is insolvent, and such
Warrant Holder shall be required to certify that it is solvent
at the time of exercise, by completing the Form of Subscription
attached to the Call Warrants and delivering such completed
Form of Subscription to the Trustee on or prior to the Call
Date and by delivering to the Trustee a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee of the opinion and the solvency
certificate required pursuant to Section 7(d)(ii) of the Series
Supplement.
(iii) The Warrant Holder shall have satisfied any other
conditions to the exercise of Call Warrants set forth in

of payment of the Call Price. The Warrant Agent shall transfer
the amount of any paid Call Price to the Trustee in immediately

application pursuant to the Trust Agreement on the applicable
Call Date (and, pending such transfer, shall hold such amount
for the benefit of the Warrant Holder in a segregated trust
account).

(iii) Delivery of a Call Notice does not give rise to an
obligation on part of the Warrant Holder to pay the Call Price.
If, by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date, the
Warrant Holder has not paid the Call Price, except in
connection with a Call Notice relating to a tender offer for
Underlying Securities, then the Call Notice shall automatically
expire and none of the Warrant Holder, the Warrant Agent or the
Trustee shall have any obligation with respect to the Call
Notice. The expiration of a Call Notice shall in no way affect
the Warrant Xxxxxx's right to deliver a Call Notice at a later
date. The Call Price for a call in connection with a tender
offer shall be deducted from the proceeds of a tender offer by
the Trust pursuant to Section 7(g)(iii) of the Series
Supplement.
(b) Transfer of Certificates. As soon as practicable after each
surrender of Call Warrants in whole or in part on the Call Date and upon
satisfaction of all other requirements described in the Call Warrants and in
Section 1.1 hereof, the Warrant Agent shall instruct the Trustee as follows:
(i) if Call Warrants are being exercised by any Warrant
Holder other than the Depositor or any Affiliate of the
Depositor, to cause the Called Certificates to reflect the
Warrant Holder's beneficial ownership of such Certificates and
if such Call Notice is also deemed to be a notice of Optional
Exchange, to cause a distribution of Underlying Securities to
the Warrant Holder in accordance with Section 7(a) of the
Series Supplement, provided, however, that if such a Call
Notice and Optional Exchange is in connection with a tender
offer, the Warrant Agent shall instruct the Trustee to
distribute to the exercising Warrant Holder the excess of the
tender offer proceeds over the Call Price pursuant to Section
7(g)(iii) of the Series Supplement, or
(ii) if the Call Warrants are being exercised by the
Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, to cause the
Called Underlying Securities to be sold pursuant to Section 13
of the Series Supplement and to distribute the proceeds of such
sale to the Warrant Holder.
If such exercise is in part only, the Warrant Agent shall instruct
the Trustee to authenticate new Call Warrants of like tenor, representing the
outstanding Call Warrants of the Warrant Holder and the Warrant Agent shall
deliver such Call Warrants to the Warrant Holder.
In each case, the Trustee shall act in accordance with such
instructions.
(c) Cancellation and Destruction of Call Warrants. All Call Warrants
surrendered to the Warrant Agent for the purpose of exercise (in whole or in
part) pursuant to Section 1.1 and actually exercised, or for the purpose of
transfer or exchange pursuant to Article III, shall be cancelled by the
Warrant Agent, and no Call Warrant (other than that reflecting any such
transfer or exchange) shall be issued in lieu thereof. The Warrant Agent shall
destroy all cancelled Call Warrants.
(d) No Rights as Holder of Certificates Conferred by Call Warrants.
Prior to the exercise thereof, Call Warrants shall not entitle the Warrant
Holder to any of the rights of a holder of the Certificates, including,
without limitation, the right to receive the payment of any
B-3
amount on or in respect of the Certificates or to enforce any of the covenants
of the Trust Agreement.
(e) Pro Rata Reduction of Call Warrants if Partial Redemption of
Underlying Securities. If Underlying Securities are redeemed in part by the
Underlying Securities Issuer and the Warrant Holders do not exercise their
Call Rights in connection with such partial redemption, the number of Call
Warrants held by each Warrant Holder shall be reduced proportionately so that
the aggregate amount of Class A-1 Certificates callable by Call Warrants shall
equal the amount of outstanding Class A-1 Certificates after giving effect to
such partial redemption and the aggregate notional amount of Class A-2
Certificates callable by Call Warrants shall equal the outstanding notional
amount of Class A-2 Certificates after giving effect to such partial
redemption. The Warrant Agent shall make such adjustments to its records as
shall be necessary to reflect such reductions and shall notify each Warrant
Holder of such adjustments.
Section 18.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
(a) Restrictive Legends. Except as otherwise permitted by this
Article II, each Call Warrant (including each Call Warrant issued upon the
transfer of any Call Warrant) shall be issued with a legend in substantially
the following form:
"This Call Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed
of except while a registration under such Act is in effect or pursuant to
an exemption therefrom under such Act. The Call Warrant represented
hereby may be transferred only in compliance with the conditions
specified in the Call Warrants."
(b) Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinions of Counsel. Prior to any
transfer of any Call Warrant or portion thereof, the Warrant Holder will give
5 Business Days (or such lesser period acceptable to the Warrant Agent) prior
written notice to the Warrant Agent of such Warrant Xxxxxx's intention to
effect such transfer.
Section 19.
REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF CALL WARRANTS, ETC.
(a) Warrant Register; Ownership of Call Warrants. The Warrant Agent
will keep a register in which the Warrant Agent will provide for the
registration of Call Warrants and the registration of transfers of Call
Warrants representing numbers of Call Warrants. The Trustee and the Warrant
Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Call Warrant is registered on
such register as the owner thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee and the
Warrant Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(b) Transfer and Exchange of Call Warrants. (a) No Call Warrant may
be offered, resold, assigned or otherwise transferred (including by pledge or
hypothecation) at any time prior to (x) the date which is two years or such
shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act

B-4
last date on which the Depositor or any "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act) of the Depositor was the owner of such Call Warrant

(iv). In addition to the foregoing, each prospective transferee of any Call
Warrants in the manner contemplated by clause (iii) above shall acknowledge,
represent and agree as follows:

to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Call
Warrants prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date,
such Call Warrants shall only be offered, resold, assigned

an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, (iii) to a QIB, in accordance with Rule 144A or (iv)
pursuant to another available exemption from registration
provided under the Securities Act, and, in each of cases (i)
through (iv), in accordance with any applicable securities
laws of any state of the United States and other
jurisdictions and (B) the transferee will, and each
subsequent holder is required to, notify any subsequent
purchaser of such Call Warrants from it of the resale
restrictions referred to in clause (A) above.
(b) Upon surrender of any Call Warrant for registration of
transfer or for exchange to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall
(subject to compliance with Article II) execute and deliver, and cause the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver, in exchange therefor,
a new Call

outstanding.

statement or other paper or document in good faith believed by it to be
genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified and

(b) Duties of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes only the
specific duties and obligations imposed hereunder upon the following terms and
conditions, by all of which the Depositor, the Trust, the Trustee and each
Warrant Holder shall be bound:
(i) The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may
be legal counsel for the Depositor), and the opinion of such counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the
Warrant Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it
B-7
in good faith and in accordance with such opinion, provided the
Warrant Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection
by it of such counsel.
(ii) Whenever in the performance of its duties hereunder, the
Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or
matter be proved or established by the Depositor or the Trustee
prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or
matter may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a
Depositor Order or a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such certificate
shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action
taken or suffered in good faith by it hereunder in reliance upon
such certificate.
(iii) The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its
own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
(iv) The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of
any of the statements of fact or recitals contained herein or be
required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals
are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Trust and the
Depositor only.
(v) The Warrant Agent shall not have any responsibility in
respect of and makes no representation as to the validity of the
Call Warrants or the execution and delivery thereof (except the due
execution hereof by the Warrant Agent); nor shall it be responsible
for any breach by the Trust of any covenant or condition contained
in the Call Warrants; nor shall it by any act thereunder be deemed
to make any representation or warranty as to the Certificates to be
purchased thereunder.
(vi) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to
accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties
hereunder from the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer,
President, a Vice President, a Senior Vice President, a Managing
Director, its Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, its Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Depositor, and any Responsible Officer of
the Trustee, and to apply to such officers for advice or
instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be
liable for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer.
(vii) The Warrant Agent and any shareholder, director, officer
or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the
Call Warrants or other securities of the Trust or otherwise act as
fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent hereunder, so
long as such persons do so in full compliance with all applicable
laws. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in
any other capacity for the Trust, the Depositor or for any other
legal entity.
(viii) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the
rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder
either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents.

duty to institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or legal
proceeding in respect hereof, unless first indemnified to its
satisfaction, but this provision shall not affect the power of the
Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider
proper, whether with or without such indemnity. The Warrant Agent

any claim made or action, suit or proceeding instituted against it
arising out of or in connection with the Call Warrants.

fail to make such appointment of a permanent successor within a period of
thirty (30) days after such removal or within sixty (60) days after
notification in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or
incapacitated Warrant Agent or by the Warrant Holder, then the Warrant Agent
or registered Warrant Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of such a successor. Any successor to the Warrant Agent
appointed hereunder must be rated in one of the four highest rating categories
by the Rating Agencies. Any entity which may be merged or consolidated with or

business of the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to be the successor Warrant
Agent without any further action.

respect the interests of the Warrant Holder or any holder of a Certificate or

the affected Warrant Holders or (iii) reduce the percentage of
aggregate Voting Rights required by (i) or (ii) without the consent
of the holders of all such affected Certificates. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Warrant, this Section 6.4(b) shall not

Holders.
(ii) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or
modification, the Warrant Agent shall furnish a copy of such
amendment or modification to each Warrant Holder, to the Trustee and
to the Rating Agencies. It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Warrant Holders or holders of Certificates under this Section to

authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

brought against the Trust, the Trustee or the Warrant Agent with respect to
this Warrant Agent Agreement may be brought in any court of competent
jurisdiction in the County of New York, State of New York or of the United
States of America for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with our proposed purchase of ___________ [Call
Warrants] [Class A-2 Certificates] (the "Securities") representing an interest
in the Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, AT&T Wireless Services Note-Backed
Series 2002-7 Trust (the "Trust"), the investor on whose behalf the
undersigned is executing this letter (the "Purchaser") confirms that:
(1) Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement, dated April 19,
2002 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), with respect to the Certificates to which
the Securities relate. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Prospectus Supplement.
The Purchaser has received a copy of the Prospectus Supplement and such other
information as the Purchaser deems necessary in order to make its investment
decision and the Purchaser has been provided the opportunity to ask questions
of, and receive answers from, the Depositor and the Underwriters, concerning
the terms and conditions of the Securities. The Purchaser has received and
understands the above, and understands that substantial risks are involved in
an investment in the Securities. The Purchaser represents that in making its
investment decision to acquire the Securities, the Purchaser has not relied on
representations, warranties, opinions, projections, financial or other
information or analysis, if any, supplied to it by any person, including you,
the Depositor or the Trustee or any of your or their affiliates, except as
expressly contained in the Prospectus Supplement and in the other written
information, if any, discussed above. The Purchaser has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities, and the Purchaser is
able to bear the substantial economic risks of such an investment. The
Purchaser has relied upon its own tax, legal and financial advisors in
connection with its decision to purchase the Securities.
(2) The Purchaser is (A) a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" (as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act")) and (B) acquiring the Securities for its
C-1
own account or for the account of an investor of the type described in clause
(A) above as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment
discretion. The Purchaser is purchasing the Securities for investment purposes
and not with a view to, or for, the offer or sale in connection with, a public
distribution or in any other manner that would violate the 1933 Act or the
securities or blue sky laws of any state.
(3) The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been and
will not be registered under the 1933 Act or under the securities or blue sky
laws of any state, and that if it decides to resell, pledge or otherwise
transfer any Security, such Security may be resold, pledged or transferred
without registration only (i) to the Trust, (ii) to an entity that has
delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee a certification that it is a
Qualified Institutional Buyer that purchases (x) for its own account or (y)
for the account of such a Qualified Institutional Buyer, that is, in either
case, aware that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on
said Rule 144A or (iii) pursuant to another available exemption from
registration provided under the Securities Act, and, in each of cases (i)
through (iii), in accordance with the provisions of the Series Supplement
(including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 3(e) thereof) and
any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and other
jurisdictions. Prior to any offer, resale, assignment or transfer of any
Securities in the manner described in clause (ii) above, the prospective
transferee and the prospective transferor shall be required to deliver to the
Trustee an executed copy of an Investment Letter with respect to the
Securities to be transferred substantially in the form hereof. Prior to any
offer, resale, assignment or transfer of any Securities in the manner
described in clause (iii) above, the prospective transferee and the
prospective transferor shall be required to deliver to the Trustee
documentation certifying that the offer, resale, assignment or transfer
complies with the provisions of said clause (iii). The Purchaser will, and
each subsequent holder will be required to, notify any purchaser of any
Security from it of the resale restrictions referred to in this Paragraph 3.
(4) The Purchaser understands that each of the Securities will bear a
legend to the following effect, unless otherwise agreed by the Depositor and
the Trustee:
"THIS [CALL WARRANT] [CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE] HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD
OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS IN
EFFECT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT. THIS [CALL
WARRANT] [CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE] REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED HEREIN."
(5) The Purchaser understands that no subsequent transfer of the
Securities is permitted unless it causes its proposed transferee to provide to
the Depositor and the initial Warrant Holder with the documentation required
pursuant to Paragraph 3 above.
(6) The Purchaser agrees that if at some time in the future it wishes
to transfer or exchange any of the Securities, it will not transfer or
exchange any of the Securities unless such transfer or exchange is in
accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, including, without
limitation, the provisions of Section 3(e) of the Series Supplement. The
Purchaser understands that any purported transfer of the Securities (or any
interest therein) in contravention
C-2
of any of the restrictions and conditions in the Trust Agreement, as
applicable, shall be void, and the purported transferee in such transfer shall
not be recognized by the Trust or any other Person as a holder of such
Securities.
You and the Trustee are entitled to rely upon this letter and are
irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any
interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry
with respect to the matters covered hereby.
Very truly yours,
