described herein shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law
of the State of New York.
Section 12. Counterparts. This 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 13. Termination of the Trust. (a) The Trust shall terminate
upon the earlier of (i) the payment in full at maturity or sale by the Trust
after a payment default on the Underlying Securities and the distribution in
full of all amounts due to the Certificateholders, (ii) the distribution to the

(b) Certificateholders who hold all, but not less than all, of the
outstanding Certificates may, upon prior written notice to the Rating Agencies,
elect to terminate the Trust at any time; provided that (i) the exercise of such
termination right would not cause the Trust or the Depositor to fail to satisfy
the applicable requirements for exemption under Rule 3a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended and (ii) if and for so long as the call warrants
remain outstanding, all of the Call Holders have consented to such termination.
(c) To the extent that the provisions of this Section 13 conflict with
Section 10.01 of the Standard Terms, the latter shall control.
Section 14. Sale of Underlying Securities; Call Right
(a) In the case of Extraordinary Trust Expenses approved by 100% of the
Certificateholders of a given Class, pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the
Trustee may sell all or a portion of the Underlying Securities to pay such
Extraordinary Trust Expenses.
(b) The Call Terms are as follows:
(i) The initial holder of the Call Rights is an affiliate of
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co., Xxxxxxx Lynch, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated
and such affiliate may transfer the Call Rights, in whole or in part,
to one or more third parties in privately negotiated transactions;
(ii) A Call Holder that has met the exercise requirements set
forth in paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section 14 may, on the Call Date,
exercise its option to purchase, in whole or in part, an Authorized
Denomination of Certificates at the Call Price;
(iii) In order to exercise its Call Right on a Call Date, a
Call Holder must, not less than 30 days (or not less than three days
after receipt of notice of termination of the Trust or not less than
[five] Business Days prior to the expiration of a tender offer for the
Underlying Securities) but not more than 60 days prior to such Call
Date:
15
(1) notify the Trustee in writing of its intention to exercise
such Call Right (which notice is irrevocable) together with a copy of
the tender offer notice, if applicable,
(2) deposit the Call Price with the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow
Deposit") to be held in escrow pursuant to an Escrow Agreement
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D (to be entered into immediately preceding
delivery of the Call Price by such Call Holder to the Escrow Agent)
until such Call Price is paid by the Trustee to the Certificateholders
in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 14 or returned to the
exercising Holders pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 2.02 of the
Warrant Agreement, and
(3) provide the Trustee with any other documents customary for
a transaction of this nature, including a certificate of the Call
Holder certifying the solvency of such Call Holder on such date;
provided that the Call Holder need not provide any such solvency
certificate if the rating of the senior, unsecured long-term debt of
the Call Holder, or the Call Holder's credit support provider, if
applicable, by Moody's and S&P is in one of the investment grade
categories of Xxxxx'x and S&P, respectively, on such date.
The provision of this Section 14(c)(iii)(1) through (3) shall not apply if
Warrants are being exercised upon an acceleration of the Underlying Securities
and payment in full by the Underlying Securities Issuer of all amounts due upon
such acceleration.
(c) In connection with any exercise of the Call Rights, the Trustee
shall select by lot (or by such other reasonable procedure as may be established
by the Trustee) a stated amount of the outstanding Certificates to be
surrendered by the Certificateholders thereof to the Trustee upon any such
exercise, deliver such Certificates to the exercising Call Holder and the
proceeds of the Call Price shall be distributed pro rata among such
Certificateholders on the Call Date in accordance with the provisions of the
Warrant Agreement.
(d) The rights of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement and
the Certificates are limited by the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Trust Agreement and the Warrant Agreement with respect to the exercise of the
Call Rights by the Call Holder. The Certificateholders, by their acceptance of
Certificates, covenant and agree to tender any and all Certificates to the
Warrant Agent upon the Call Holder's exercise of Call Rights and deposit of the
Call Price with the Escrow Agent for such Certificates in accordance with the
applicable procedures in the Warrant Agreement.
Section 15. Amendments. Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement
to the contrary, in addition to the other restrictions on modification and
amendment contained herein, the Trustee shall not enter into any amendment or
modification of the Trust Agreement that would adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Certificateholders or the Call Holders without the
consent of 100% of such Certificateholders or Call Holders, as the case may be;
provided, however, that no such amendment or modification will be permitted if
the Trustee has been advised by the Depositor that such amendment or
modification would alter the
16
status of the Trust as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes.
Further, no amendment shall be permitted pursuant to paragraphs (vi), (vii) and
(x) of Section 11.01(a) of the Standard Terms without prior written confirmation
by each Rating Agency that such amendment will not result in a downgrading or
withdrawal of its rating of the Certificates. The Trustee may consult with
counsel and shall be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel for purposes of
determining compliance with the provisions of this Section 15.
Section 16. 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 Underlying
Securities 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, or
(ii) that 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 that with the passage of time would become an event of
default under the Underlying Securities and with the consent of 100% of the
Certificateholders, or (iii) that 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 Underlying Securities Indenture and only with the consent of
100% of the Certificateholders and 100% of the Call Holders. The Trustee shall
have no liability for any failure to act resulting from Certificateholders' or
Call Holders' late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the
Trustee from the Certificateholders and Call Holders.
If 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 Certificateholders, the Call Holders and the Rating
Agencies of such offer promptly. The Trustee must reject any such offer unless
the Trustee is directed by the affirmative vote of 100% of the
Certificateholders and 100% of the Call Holders to accept such offer, the
Trustee has received the tax opinion described above and if the Trustee is so
directed, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of such
direction accompanied by evidence of the affirmative vote of such
Certificateholders and Call Holders.
17
If an event of default under the Underlying Securities Indenture occurs
and is continuing, and if directed by 100% of the 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 17. Call Right Documentation. Simultaneously with the execution
hereof, the Depositor hereby directs the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf
of the Trust, to enter into a Warrant Agreement and any related Warrant
Certificates (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) evidencing the Call Rights
and to make representations contained therein on behalf of the Trust. At the
direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall execute such further documents as
may be required to evidence any transfer of any or all of the rights, interests
or obligations under the Warrant Agreement and any related Warrant Certificates.
Section 18. Third Party Beneficiary. The Escrow Agent and each Call
Holder shall be third party beneficiaries of this Trust Agreement.
Section 19. Nonpetition Covenant. Solely with respect to the Trust and
the Series and for no other purpose, Section 11.07 of the Standard terms is
hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
"Section 11.07. Nonpetition Covenant. Notwithstanding any prior
termination of this Trust Agreement, each of the Trustee (including any
Administrative Agent, Authenticating Agent and Paying Agent) and the Depositor
agrees that it shall not, until the date which is one year and one day after the
termination of the PREFERREDPLUS Trust Series CTR-1, acquiesce, petition or
otherwise invoke or cause the Trust to invoke the process of the United States,
any State or other political subdivision thereof or any entity exercising
executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of or
pertaining to government for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case by
or against the Trust under a Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of such Trust or all or any part of the
property or assets of such Trust or ordering the winding up or liquidation of
the affairs of such Trust."

Terms shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

such Underlying Securities and such Underlying Securities are free and clear of

(other than the lien created by this Trust Agreement); and"

than those required or authorized by this Trust Agreement or incidental
to and necessary to accomplish such activities. Any Trust created
hereunder shall not issue or sell any certificates or other obligations
other than the Certificates or, if applicable, Call Rights or otherwise
incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed."
(c) Clause (v) of Subsection (b) of Section 4.08 of the Standard Terms
shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
"that Holders of Certificates receiving notice of Call Rights
being exercised with respect to the Certificates held by them shall not
be entitled to any interest on the Certificates for any period on and
after the Call Date, and the only remaining right of Holders of such
Certificates is to receive payment of the Call Price upon surrender of
the Certificates to the Warrant Agent; and"
(d) The first sentence of subsection (d) of Section 4.08 of the
Standard Terms shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
"Once such notice is mailed to a Holder, such Holder shall not
be entitled to any right as a Holder other than the right to receive
payment of the Call Price on the Call Date and the Certificates subject
to the Call Right shall be deemed to have been automatically
surrendered to the Trust for further transfer to the holder exercising
its Call Right."
(e) Subsection (e) of Section 4.08 of the Standard Terms shall be
deleted and replaced with the following:

the portion of such surrendered Certificate not purchased."
