Section 3. Designation of Trust and Certificates. The Trust created
hereby shall be known as the "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, Royal & Sun
Alliance Bond-Backed Series
7
2002-11 Trust." The Certificates evidencing certain undivided ownership
interests therein shall be known as "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates,
Royal & Sun Alliance Bond-Backed Series 2002-11." 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 $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 2,672,640 Certificates
having an initial aggregate certificate principal amount (the "Certificate
Principal Balance") of $66,816,000. 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
7.70% 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
1.25% per annum on the outstanding notional amount of the Class A-2
Certificates. On the Distribution Date occuring in October 2002, the Trustee
will pay to the Depositor the amount of interest accrued and paid on the
Underlying Securities from April 15, 2002, to but not including the Closing
Date; provided, however, that in the event an Optional Exchange Date shall
occur prior to October 15, 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
8
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.
(e) No Class A-2 Certificate 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 after the later of the original issue
date of such Class A-2 Certificates and the 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 Class A-2 Certificates (or any predecessor
thereto) or (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by a change in
applicable securities laws (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date") unless
such offer, resale, assignment or transfer is (i) to the Trust, (ii) pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (iii) to a
qualified institutional buyer (a "QIB"), as such term is defined in Rule 144A
promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), 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. Prior to any offer, resale, assignment or
transfer of any Class A-2 Certificates in the manner described in clause (iii)
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 Class A-2 Certificates 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 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
(iv). In addition to the foregoing, each prospective transferee of any Class
A-2 Certificates in the manner contemplated by clause (iii) above shall
acknowledge, represent and agree as follows:
(1) The transferee (x) is a QIB, (y) is aware that the sale to it
is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and (z) is acquiring

account of a QIB.
(2) The transferee 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, and that the Class A-2 Certificates have not
been and will not be registered under the Securities Act.
(3) The transferee agrees that (A) if in the future it decides to
offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Class A-2
Certificates prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date,
such Class A-2 Certificates shall only be offered, resold,
assigned or otherwise transferred (i) to the Trust, (ii)
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, (iii) to a QIB, in accordance with
9
Rule 144A or (iv) pursuant to another available exemption from

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
Class A-2 Certificates 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
effect:
"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."

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

Funds:
(1) 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
(2) second, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates,

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
7.70% 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.
11
(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.
(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
12
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 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.
13
(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 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
14
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 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
October 15, 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 April 15, 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
Xxxxxx has not paid the Call Price, except in connection with a
15
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).
(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
16
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.
(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
17
such notice if in good faith it determines that the withholding of such notice
is in the interest of the Certificateholders.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.
(a) The provisions of Section 4.04, Advances, of the Standard Terms
shall not apply to the Royal & Sun Alliance Bond-Backed Series 2002-11
Certificates.
(b) The provisions of Section 4.07, Optional Exchange, of the
Standard Terms shall not apply to the Royal & Sun Alliance Bond-Backed Series
2002-11 Certificates.
(c) The Trustee shall simultaneously forward reports to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Standard Terms and to the
New York Stock Exchange.
(d) Except as expressly provided herein, the Certificateholders shall
not be entitled to terminate the Trust or cause the sale or other disposition
of the Underlying Securities.
(e) The provisions of Section 3.07(d) of the Standard Terms shall not
apply to the Royal & Sun Alliance Bond-Backed Series 2002-11 Certificates.
(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
18
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.
(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) A Plan fiduciary, whether or not a Certificateholder at such
time, may request in writing that the Trustee provide such Plan fiduciary such
information as shall be necessary for it to determine whether any of the Call
Warrant holders is (i) a "party in interest" (within the meaning of ERISA,
Section 3(14)); or (ii) a "disqualified person" within the meaning of Internal
Revenue Code ("Code") Section 4975(e)(2) with respect to any employee benefit
plan or Plan identified to the Trustee by such Plan fiduciary at the time such
request is made in order for the Plan fiduciary to determine whether an
investment in the Certificates by such Plan is or would be permissible under
ERISA or the Code. Any such written request of a Plan fiduciary shall be
accompanied by a certification of the Plan fiduciary, opinion of counsel
experienced in such issues, and such other documentation as the Trustee may
require, in order to establish that such disclosure is necessary for the Plan
fiduciary to determine compliance with ERISA and the Code, as well as a
confidentiality agreement, whereby the Plan fiduciary agrees not to disclose
the identity of any Call Warrant holders except to any legal or other experts
as necessary to make such determination. The holder of a Call Warrant shall
upon reasonable request of the Trustee, in order for the Trustee to satisfy
its obligations to a Plan fiduciary, provide the Trustee with any one or more
of the following, in the sole discretion of the Call Warrant holder: (i) a
certificate that each of the Call Warrant holders is not (x) a "party in
interest" (within the meaning of ERISA, Section 3(14)) with respect to any
"employee benefit plan" as defined in ERISA, Section 3(3); or (y) a
"disqualified person" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code ("Code")
Section 4975(e)(2) with respect to a "Plan" as defined in Code Section
4975(e)(1) except in each case with respect to plans sponsored by the Call
Warrant holder or its affiliates which cover employees of the Call Warrant
holder and/or such affiliates; (ii) a certificate that each of the Call
Warrant holders is not such a "party in interest" or "disqualified person"
with respect to any employee benefit plan or Plan identified to the Trustee by
such Plan fiduciary at the time such request is made; or (iii) a written consent
to the limited disclosure of the respective Call Warrant holder's identity to
a specific Plan fiduciary solely for purposes of allowing the Trustee to
satisfy its obligations to a Plan fiduciary.
19
(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.

Certificateholders and the Warrant Holders.
(r) The provisions of the Section 2.01(d)(iii) of the Standard Terms
shall not apply to the Royal & Sun Alliance Bond-Backed Series 2002-11
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
21
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
22
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
23
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

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.
(4) 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.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.
(ii) Upon exercise of Call Warrants, any Warrant Holder other
than the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be
entitled to delivery by the Trustee 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 $25 per Call Warrant, and in the case of the Class
A-2 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates having a notional balance
equal to $100,000 per Call Warrant. Unless otherwise specified
therein, such Call Notice shall be deemed to be notice of an
Optional Exchange pursuant to Section 7(b) 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 or Called Underlying Securities. "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.
(iii) 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
deposit in the Certificate Account and 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).
(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 Underlying Securities, then
the Call Notice shall
B-2
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 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
B-3
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. (i) No Call Warrant may
be offered, resold, assigned or otherwise transferred (including by pledge or

resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Call Warrants prior to the
Resale Restriction Termination Date, such Call Warrants shall only
be offered, resold, assigned or otherwise transferred (i) to the
Trust, (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act, (iii) to a QIB, in accordance with Rule 144A or

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.
(ii) 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 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

satisfactory to the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, destruction or

outstanding.

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 in good faith
and in accordance with such opinion, provided the Warrant Agent

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
B-7
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.

obligations contained herein.

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.

designated, the Depositor shall then appoint a permanent successor to the

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
which shall otherwise succeed to substantially all of the trust or agency
business of the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to be the successor Warrant
Agent without any further action.

satisfied and that such amendment would not cause the Trust to be taxed as an
association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a Corporation under the

correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision herein or to provide for any other terms
or modify any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under the Call Warrant which shall not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Warrant Holder or any holder of a Certificate,
provided, however, that no amendment altering the timing or amount of any

amounts payable upon exercise of a Warrant without the consent of
the holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 100% of the

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
be amended without the consent of 100% of the affected Warrant
Holders.
B-10
(iii) 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.
(e) Expiration. The right to exercise the Call Warrants shall expire
on the earliest to occur of (a) the cancellation thereof, (b) the termination

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
delivery of the Call Warrants, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the

by its acceptance thereof, and (ii) the Warrant Agent agrees, that it shall
not (and, in the case of the Warrant Holder, that it shall not direct the
Warrant Agent to), until the date which is one year and one day after the
payment in full of the Certificates and all other securities issued by the
Trust, the Depositor or entities formed, established or settled by the

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 HEREIN OR IN THE SERIES
SUPPLEMENT."
5. The Purchaser understands that no subsequent transfer of the Securities
is permitted unless (A) such transfer is of a Security with the
applicable minimum denomination and (B) the Purchaser causes the proposed
transferee to provide to the Depositor and the Trustee such documentation
as may be required pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Warrant Agent
Agreement, including, if required, a letter substantially in the form
hereof, or such other written statement as the Depositor shall reasonably
prescribe.

B. a Person not described in (A), whose ownership of such Security is
effectively connected with such Person's conduct of a trade or
business within the United States within the meaning of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and its ownership of
any interest in such Security will not result in any withholding
obligation with respect to any payments with respect to the
Securities by any Person (other than withholding, if any, under
Section 1446 of the Code), or
C. a Person not described in (A) or (B) above, who is not a Person: (1)

Underlying Securities Issuer within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4)
of the Code, or (3) that is a
C-2
bank extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in
the ordinary course of its trade or business.
The Purchaser agrees that (I) if it is a Person described in
clause (A) above, it will furnish to the Depositor and the
Trustee a properly executed IRS Form W-9, and (II) if it is a
Person described in clause (B) above, it will furnish to the

W-8IMY with appropriate certification for all partners or members
attached). The Purchaser also agrees that it will provide a new
IRS form upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously
delivered form, and that it will provide such other
certifications, representations or Opinions of Counsel as may be
requested by the Depositor and the Trustee.

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 terms of the Warrant Agent Agreement and other
documents applicable to the Security. The Purchaser understands that any
purported transfer of the Securities (or any interest therein) in
contravention of any of the restrictions and conditions in the
agreements, as applicable, shall be void, and the purported transferee in
such transfer shall not be recognized by any Person as a holder of such
Securities, for any purpose.
