of the Underlying Securities so purchased shall be redeemed at a redemption
price equal to (i) with respect to each Class A-1 Certificate being redeemed,

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

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with our proposed purchase of $______________
aggregate Notional Amount of Class A-2 Certificates (the "Class A-2
Certificates") representing an interest in the Corporate Backed Callable Trust
Certificates, X.X. Xxxxxx Debenture-Backed Series 2007-1 Trust (the "Trust"),
the undersigned, by executing this letter (the "Purchaser") confirms that:
1. The Purchaser understands that substantial risks are involved in
an investment in the Class A-2 Certificates. The Purchaser
represents that, in making its investment decision to acquire the
Class A-2 Certificates, the Purchaser has not relied on
representations, warranties, opinions, projections, financial or
other information or analysis, if any, supplied to it by any
person or entity, including the Initial Purchaser, the Depositor
or the Trustee or any of their affiliates, except as expressly
contained in written information, if any. The Purchaser is
purchasing the Class A-2 Certificates 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
Securities Act or the securities or blue sky laws of any state of
the United States. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of purchasing any of the Class A-2
Certificates. The Purchaser is aware that it may be required to
bear the substantial economic risk of an investment in the Class
A-2 Certificates for an indefinite period of time and such
Purchaser is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period. The
Purchaser has relied upon its own tax, legal and financial
advisors in connection with its decision to purchase the Class A-2
Certificates.
C-1
2. The Purchaser is not an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 under
the Securities Act) of the Depositor and is either:
(i) (A) a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" (a "QIB"), within the
meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act" and "Rule 144A") and has delivered to you
the certification contained herein as to the fact that it is a QIB
and (B) acquiring the Class A-2 Certificates for its own account,
for the account of an Accredited Investor (as defined in Rule
501(a) under the Securities Act), or for the account of a QIB as
to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment
discretion. The Purchaser is aware that the Class A-2 Certificates
are being sold to it in reliance on the exemption from the
provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule
144A; or
(ii) an Accredited Investor and, if the Class A-2 Certificates are
to be purchased for one or more accounts ("investor accounts") for
which it is acting as fiduciary or agent, each such investor
account is an Accredited Investor on a like basis or a QIB; in the
normal course of its business, such Purchaser invests in or
purchases securities similar to the Class A-2 Certificates.
3. The Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Depositor nor the
Initial Purchaser, or any person representing the Depositor or the
Initial Purchaser, has made any representation to such purchaser
with respect to the Trust, the Underlying Securities or the
offering or sale of any Class A-2 Certificates.
4. The Purchaser understands that the Class A-2 Certificates are
being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering
in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act,
that the Class A-2 Certificates have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act or under the securities or
blue sky laws of any state, and that (i) if in the future it
decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Class
A-2 Certificates, such Class A-2 Certificates shall only be
offered, resold, assigned or otherwise transferred (A) to the
Trust, (B) pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act, (C) to a QIB, in accordance with Rule 144A or
(D) to any person or entity (including an Accredited Investor
within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act)
pursuant to another available exemption from registration provided
under the Securities Act, and, in each of cases (A) through (D),
in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of
the United States and other jurisdictions and (ii) the purchaser
will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any
subsequent purchaser of such Class A-2 Certificates from it of the
resale restrictions referred to in clause (i) above. Upon the
transfer of Class A-2 Certificates held in the form of global
certificates to an Accredited Investor, the transferor's interest
in such global certificates shall be exchanged for a Class A-2
Certificate in definitive form. Thereafter, upon transfer of a
definitive Class A-2 Certificate to a QIB, such Class A-2
Certificate may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a global
certificate.
5. The Purchaser understands that each Class A-2 Certificate will,
unless otherwise agreed to by the Depositor and the Trustee, bear
a legend substantially to the following effect:
C-2
"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 FROM REGISTRATION 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."
6. The Purchaser understands that no subsequent transfer of the Class
A-2 Certificates is permitted unless (A) such transfer is of a
Class A-2 Certificate with a denomination of at least $100,000 and
(B) it causes its proposed transferee to provide to the Trustee
and the Initial Purchaser a letter substantially in the form of
Exhibit C to the Series Supplement and otherwise satisfactory to
the Trustee and Initial Purchaser, as applicable, or such other
written statement as the Depositor shall prescribe.
7. The Purchaser agrees that if at some time in the future it wishes
to transfer or exchange any of the Class A-2 Certificates, it will
not transfer or exchange any of the Class A-2 Certificates unless
such transfer or exchange is in accordance with Section 5.04 of
the Trust Agreement. The Purchaser understands that any purported
transfer of the Class A-2 Certificates (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 Certificateholder, as the case may be,
for any purpose.
8. The purchaser (i) acknowledges that the Depositor, the Initial
Purchaser, the Trustee and others will rely upon the truth and
accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and
agreements and agrees that the Depositor, the Initial Purchaser
and the Trustee 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, and (ii) agrees that, if any of the
acknowledgments, representations, warranties and agreements made
or deemed to have been made by such purchaser's purchase of the
Class A-2 Certificates are no longer accurate, such purchaser
shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Initial Purchaser. If
the purchaser is acquiring any Class A-2 Certificates as a
fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it
represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to
each such account and it has full power to make the foregoing
acknowledgments, representations
C-3
and agreements on behalf of each such account and that each such
investor account is eligible to purchase the Class A-2
Certificates.
You 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,
