Section 3. Designation of Trust and Certificates. The Trust created
hereby shall be known as the "Corporate-Backed Trust Certificates, Corning
Debenture-Backed Series 2001-28 Trust." The Certificates evidencing certain
undivided ownership interests therein shall be known as "Corporate Backed
Trust Certificates, Corning Debenture-Backed Series 2001-28." 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 in denominations of $10.
The Class A-2 Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000
and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. Except as
7
provided in the Standard Terms and in paragraph (d) in this Section, the Trust
shall not issue additional Certificates or incur any indebtedness.
(b) The Class A-1 Certificates have an initial aggregate certificate
principal amount of $12,843,750, and the Class A-2 Certificates have an
initial aggregate certificate principal amount of $2,156,250 (each, a
"Certificate Principal Amount").
(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 Amount of the Class A-1
Certificates. The Class A-2 Certificates shall not bear interest. On September
1, 2001, the Trustee will pay to the Depositor the amount of interest accrued
and paid on the Underlying Securities from March 1, 2001, to but not including
the Closing Date. 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 Class A-1
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 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 materially increase the likelihood
that the Trust would fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the Code. 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 and Class A-2 Certificates
in the same proportion as the original Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates, with an aggregate Certificate Principal 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.
(e) As a condition precedent for transferring the Call Warrants, the
prospective transferee shall be required to deliver to the Trustee and the
Depositor an executed copy of the Investment Letter (set forth in Exhibit C
hereto).
Section 4. Trust Certificates. The Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt,
on or prior to the Closing Date, of:
(i) the Underlying Securities set forth on the Underlying
Securities Schedule; and

Extraordinary Trust Expenses incurred by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 6(b) below and approved by 100% of

interest at the rate of 8.00% per annum on the principal
amount of the Class A-1 Certificates.
(ii) the Trustee will pay the principal portion of Available
Funds:
(a) first, to the Trustee, as reimbursement for any
remaining Extraordinary Trust Expenses incurred by the
Trustee in accordance with Section 6(b) below and approved
by 100% of the Certificateholders; and
(b) second, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates
and the Class A-2 Certificates, the remaining available
principal portion of Available Funds (in an aggregate
amount not to exceed the outstanding principal amount of
the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates)
pro rata in the proportion that the outstanding principal
amount of the Class A-1 Certificates bears to the
outstanding principal amount of the Class A-2 Certificates,
until the aggregate Certificate Principal Amounts of such
Certificates are paid in full.
(iii) any Available Funds remaining in the Certificate Account
after the payments set forth in clauses 5(a)(i) and
5(a)(ii) above shall be paid to the Trustee as reasonable
compensation for services rendered to the Depositor, any
remainder up to $1,000.
(iv) the Trustee will pay any Available Funds remaining in the
Certificate Account after the distributions in clauses
5(a)(i) through 5(a)(iii) above to the holders of the Class
A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates pro rata in
proportion to their original principal balances.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof (other than Section 3(c))
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 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(f) 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;
9
(ii) second, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, an
amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
(iii) third, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and
Class A-2 Certificates, pro rata in the proportion that the
outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 Certificates
bears to the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-2
Certificates; and
(iv) fourth, to the Trustee, as reasonable compensation for
services rendered to the Depositor, any remainder up to
$1,000.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underlying Securities are
redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part due to the occurrence of
an 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.
(d) 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(b) hereof.
(e) 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. 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,
pro rata by principal amount (after deducting the costs incurred in connection
therewith) in accordance with Section 5(b) 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 will be deemed to reduce the principal amount of
Certificates on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
(f) Subject to Section 9(f) hereof, to the extent Available Funds are
insufficient to make any required distributions due to 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(g) hereof) on which sufficient funds are available to pay such
shortfall.
(g) If a payment with respect to the Underlying Securities is made
to the Trustee (i) after the payment date of the Underlying Securities on
which such payment was due or (ii) after the Underlying Securities are
redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part for any reason other than
due to the occurrence of an Event of Default or at their maturity, then the
Trustee will distribute any such amounts received on the next occurring
Business Day (a "Special
10
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 five Business Days prior to the day on which the related payment was
received from the Underlying Securities Trustee.
(h) Notwithstanding Section 3.12 of the Standard Terms, if the Underlying
Securities Issuer ceases to file the periodic reports required under the
Exchange Act, the Depositor shall within a reasonable period of time instruct
the Trustee to sell the Underlying Securities and allocate the proceeds of
such sale in the following order of priority: (i) to the Trustee,
reimbursement for any remaining extraordinary expenses incurred by the Trustee
pursuant to the instructions of all the certificateholders and (ii) to the
holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates in
accordance with the ratio of the Class A-1 Allocation to the Class A-2
Allocation; provided, however, the Depositor shall not instruct the Trustee to
distribute or sell the Underlying Securities 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.
Section 6. Trustee's Fees.
(a) As compensation for its services hereunder, the Trustee shall be
entitled to the Trustee Fee and any amount payable under clause 5(a)(iii) or
5(b)(iv) above. 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 Exchange; Optional Call.
(a) (i) On any Distribution Date, 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 Securities as such
Certificates represent of all outstanding Certificates.
(ii) The following conditions shall apply to any Optional
Exchange.
(a) A notice specifying the number of Certificates being
surrendered and the Optional Exchange Date shall be
delivered to the Trustee no less than
11
5 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee)
but not more than 30 days before the Optional Exchange Date.

representing a like percentage of all Class A-1

stating that the Optional Exchange would not affect the
characterization of the Trust as a "grantor trust" for
federal income tax purposes.
(e) 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

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.
(iv) The provisions of Section 4.07 of the Standard Terms shall
not apply to an Optional Exchange pursuant to this Section
7(a). This Section 7(a) shall not provide any person with a
lien against, an interest in or a right to specific
performance with respect to the Underlying Securities.
(b) (i) 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.
(ii) 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.

been delivered to the Rating Agencies, in form satisfactory

Price shall not be recoverable as a preferential transfer
or fraudulent conveyance under the United States
12
Bankruptcy Code. Such opinion may contain customary
assumptions and qualifications.
(b) 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.

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, then
the Call Notice shall automatically expire and none of the

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 to the Certificateholders on the Call Date.
The Call Price for class of Certificates in respect of

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.
(viii) 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.
(ix) The Warrant Holder shall initially be the Depositor.
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. 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 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 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(c) 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
16
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. 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 alter the status of the Trust as a grantor trust for federal
income tax purposes. Further, no amendment shall be permitted which would
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Class of
Certificateholders without confirmation by each Rating Agency that such
amendment will not result in a downgrading or withdrawal of its rating of such
class of Certificates.
Section 15. Voting of Underlying Securities, Modification of Indenture.
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 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 principal balances of the 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) alter the status of the
Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes or result in the
imposition of tax upon the Certificateholders, (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 all outstanding Class A-1
Certificateholders and the Class A-2 Certificateholders, 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 and 100% of the Class A-2 Certificates. The Trustee shall have no
liability for any
17
failure to act resulting from Certificateholders' late return of, or failure
to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the Certificateholders.
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 and Class A-2 Certificateholders of such offer promptly.
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 and
Class A-2 Certificates 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.
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.

Trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the Series Supplement 2001-28,
dated as of July 24, 2001 (the "Series Supplement" and, together with the
Agreement, the "Trust Agreement"), between the Depositor and the Trustee; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the creation of the Trust and the deposit
therein of the Underlying Securities, it is desired to provide for the
issuance of trust certificates (the "Certificates") evidencing undivided
interests in the Trust and call warrants with respect to the Certificates
("Call Warrants").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants expressed herein, it is hereby agreed by and between the Depositor
and the Trustee that except as otherwise specified herein or as the context
may otherwise require, capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein
shall have the respective meanings set forth below for all purposes under the
Series Supplement, and as follows:
ARTICLE I
Exercise of Call Warrants
Section 1.1 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:
(i) A notice (each, a "Call Notice") specifying the number
of Call Warrants being exercised and the Call Date shall be
delivered to the Warrant Agent and the Trustee at least 5 Business
Days before such Call Date.
(ii) The Warrant Holder shall surrender the Call Warrants
to the Warrant Agent at its office specified in Section 6.3 hereof
no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Call Date.
(iii) The Warrant Holder shall have made payment to the
Warrant 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.
(iv) 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.
(v) 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(b)(ii)
of the Series Supplement.
(vi) The Warrant Holder shall have satisfied any other
conditions to the exercise of Call Warrants set forth in Section
7(b) of the Series Supplement.
(b) Upon exercise of Call Warrants, any Warrant Holder other than the
Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to delivery of
the Called Certificates. The "Called Certificates" shall be, in the case of
the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-1 Certificates having a Certificate
Principal Amount equal to $10 per Call Warrant, and in the case of the Class
A-2 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates having a Certificate Principal Amount
equal to $1,000 per Call Warrant. Unless otherwise specified therein, such
Call Notice shall be deemed to be notice of an Optional Exchange pursuant to
Section 7(a) of the Series Supplement. Any Warrant Holder which is the
Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall receive the proceeds of the
sale of the Called Underlying Securities and shall not be entitled to receive
the related Called Certificates. "Called Underlying Securities" are Underlying
Securities which represent the same percentage of the Underlying Securities as
the Called Certificates represent of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates.
(c) The Warrant Agent shall notify the Trustee immediately upon its
receipt of a Call Notice and upon receipt of payment of the Call Price. The
Warrant Agent shall transfer the amount of any paid Call Price to the Trustee
in immediately available funds, for 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).
(d) 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, 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.
2
Section 1.2 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:
(a) 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 holder's beneficial ownership of such
Certificates, or
(b) 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.
Section 1.3 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 shall be issued in lieu thereof. The
Warrant Agent shall destroy all cancelled Call Warrants.
Section 1.4 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 amount
on or in respect of the Certificates or to enforce any of the covenants of the
Trust Agreement.
ARTICLE II
Restrictions on Transfer
Section 2.1 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."
Section 2.2 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.

ARTICLE III
Registration and Transfer of Call Warrants, etc.
Section 3.1 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 whole 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.
Section 3.2 Transfer and Exchange of Call Warrants. 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 Warrant of like tenor and evidencing
a like whole number of Call Warrants, in the name of such Warrant Holder or as
such Warrant Holder (upon payment by such Warrant Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes or government charges) may direct; provided that as a condition
precedent for transferring the Call Warrants, the prospective transferee shall
be required to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an executed copy of
the Investment Letter (set forth as Exhibit C to the Series Supplement).
Section 3.3 Replacement of Call Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Call Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of any Call Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity bond in such
reasonable amount as the Warrant Agent may determine, or, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon the surrender of such Call Warrant for cancellation to
the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, and cause the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Call Warrant of like tenor bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
Section 3.4 Execution and Delivery of Call Warrants by Trustee. The

any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein or to provide for

Call Warrants related to the Class A-2 Certificates, upon receipt of an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Warrant Agent that the provisions
hereof (including, without limitation, the following proviso) have seen
satisfied, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Call Warrants or of

of 100% of the affected Warrant Holders.
(b) 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 approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with our proposed purchase of ___________ Call Warrants
(the "Call Warrants") representing an interest in the Corporate Backed Trust
Certificates, Corning Debenture-Backed Series 2001-28 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 July 20, 2001
(the "Prospectus Supplement"), with respect to the Certificates to which the
Call Warrants 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 Call Warrants. The Purchaser has received and
understands the above, and understands that substantial risks are involved in
an investment in the Call Warrants. The Purchaser represents that in making
its investment decision to acquire the Call Warrants, 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 Call Warrants, 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 Call Warrants.
(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 Call Warrants for
C-1
its 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 Call Warrants 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 Call Warrants 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 (i) if it decides to resell, pledge or otherwise
transfer any Call Warrant, such Call Warrant may be resold, pledged or
transferred without registration only to an entity that has delivered to the
Depositor and the Trustee a certification that it is a Qualified Institutional
Buyer that purchases (1) for its own account or (2) 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 and (ii) it
will, and each subsequent holder will be required to, notify any purchaser of
any Call Warrant from it of the resale restrictions referred to in clause (i)
above.
(4) The Purchaser understands that each of the Call Warrants will bear a
legend to the following effect, unless otherwise agreed by the Depositor and
the Trustee:
"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. THIS CALL WARRANT REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY
BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS CALL
WARRANT."
(5) The Purchaser understands that no subsequent transfer of the Call
Warrants is permitted unless it causes its proposed transferee to provide to
the Depositor and the initial Warrant Holder a letter substantially in the
form of Exhibit C to the Series Supplement, as applicable, or such other
written statement as the Depositor shall prescribe.
(6) The Purchaser agrees that if at some time in the future it wishes to
transfer or exchange any of the Call Warrants, it will not transfer or
exchange any of the Call Warrants unless such transfer or exchange is in
accordance with Section 3.2 of the Warrant Agent Agreement. The Purchaser
understands that any purported transfer of the Call Warrants (or any interest
therein) in contravention 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
Warrant Holder.
C-2
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,
