Section 3. Designation of Trust and Certificates. The Trust created
hereby shall be known as the "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, AIG
Debenture-Backed Series 2002-10 Trust." The Certificates evidencing certain
undivided ownership interests therein shall be known as "Corporate Backed
Trust Certificates, AIG Debenture-Backed Series 2002-10." The Certificates
shall consist of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates
(together,
7
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 1,031,753 Certificates having
an initial aggregate certificate principal amount (the "Certificate Principal
Balance") of $25,793,825. The Class A-2 Certificates are interest-only
Certificates, and shall have an initial aggregate notional amount equal to the
initial aggregate principal amount of the Underlying Securities.
(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 6.70% 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
0.5683% per annum on the outstanding notional amount of the Class A-2
Certificates. On the July, 2002 Distribution Date, the Trustee will pay to the
Depositor the amount of interest accrued and paid on the Underlying Securities
from January 31, 2002, to but not including the Closing Date; provided,
however, that in the event an Optional Exchange Date shall occur prior to
July, 2002 Distribution Date, a pro rata portion of such amount shall be paid
to the Depositor on the Optional Exchange Date in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7(b)(ix) hereof. If Available Funds are insufficient to
pay such amount, the Trustee will pay the Depositor its pro rata share, based
on the ratio the amount owed to the Depositor bears to all amounts owed on the
Certificates in respect of accrued interest, of any proceeds from the recovery
on the Underlying Securities.
(d) The Depositor may sell to the Trustee additional Underlying
Securities on any date hereafter upon at least 3 Business Days' notice to the
Trustee (or such shorter period as shall be mutually satisfactory to the
Depositor and the Trustee) and upon (i) satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition and (ii) delivery of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
sale of such additional Underlying Securities will not cause the Trust to be
taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes. Each condition to be satisfied
with respect to a sale of Underlying Securities on or prior to the Closing
Date shall be satisfied with respect to a sale of additional Underlying
Securities no later than the date of sale thereof, each representation and
warranty set forth in the Standard Terms to be made on the Closing Date shall
be made on such date of sale, and from and after such date of sale, all
Underlying Securities held by the Trustee shall be held on the same terms and
conditions. Upon such sale to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deposit such
additional Underlying Securities in the Certificate Account, and shall
authenticate and deliver to the Depositor, on its order, Class A-1
8
Certificates in a Certificate Principal Balance, and Class A-2 Certificates in
a notional amount, in the same proportion to the Underlying Securities as
exists on the Closing Date (i.e. the additional Class A-1 Certificates shall
have an aggregate Certificate Principal Balance not to exceed the product of
(x) the aggregate principal amount of the additional Underlying Securities and
(y) 0.7509996 and the additional Class A-2 Certificates shall have an
aggregate notional amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
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 such
Class A-2 Certificates for its own account or for the 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, xxxxxx, pledge or otherwise transfer the Class A-2
Certificates prior to the Resale Restriction
9
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
Rule 144A or (iv) pursuant to another available exemption from
registration provided under the Securities Act, and, in each of
cases (i) through (iv), in accordance with any applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States and other
jurisdictions and (B) the transferee will, and each subsequent
holder is required to, notify any subsequent purchaser of such
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."

(b) all documents required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 2.01 of the Standard Terms.
Section 5. Distributions.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3(c), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(i) on
each applicable Distribution Date (or such later date as specified in Section
9(f)), the Trustee shall apply Available Funds in the Certificate Account as
follows:
(i) The Trustee will pay the interest portion of Available Funds:
10
(1) 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
(2) second, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and to
the holders of the Class A-2 Certificates, interest accrued and
unpaid on each such Class, pro rata in proportion to their
entitlements thereto.
(ii) the Trustee will pay the principal 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;
(2) second, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates; and
(3) third, any additional amounts to the holders of the Class
A-1 Certificates.
Any portion of the Available Funds (i) that does not constitute principal of,
or interest on, the Underlying Securities, (ii) that is not received in
connection with a redemption, prepayment or liquidation of the Underlying
Securities and (iii) for which allocation by the Trustee is not otherwise
contemplated by this Series Supplement, shall be remitted by the Trustee to
the Depositor.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underlying Securities are
redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part for any reason other than
due to the occurrence of an Underlying Securities Event of Default, the
discontinuance 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 6.70%
11
per annum, assuming no delinquencies, deferrals, redemptions or
prepayments on the Underlying Securities; and
(iv) fourth, any remainder to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates
and the Class A-2 Certificates pro rata in proportion to the ratio
of the Class A-1 Allocation to the Class A-2 Allocation.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underlying Securities are
redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part due to the occurrence of
an Underlying Securities Event of Default, the Trustee shall apply Available
Funds to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and the holders of the
Class A-2 Certificates in accordance with the ratio of the Class A-1
Allocation to the Class A-2 Allocation.
(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.
12
(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 discontinuance of the Underlying
Securities Issuer to file periodic reports as required by the Exchange Act or
at their maturity, the Trustee will distribute any such amounts received in
accordance with Section 5(c) on the next occurring Business Day (a "Special
Distribution Date") as if the funds had constituted Available Funds on the
Distribution Date immediately preceding such Special Distribution Date;
provided, however, that the Record Date for such Special Distribution Date
shall be one Business Day prior to the day on which the related payment was
received with respect to the Underlying Securities.
(i) Notwithstanding Section 3.12 of the Standard Terms, if the Underlying
Securities Issuer discontinues filing 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) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the notional amount of
the Class A-2 Certificates always equal the principal amount of the Underlying
Securities; provided, however, that in the event the principal amount of the
Underlying Securities is adjusted following the occurrence of a Tax Event (as
defined in the Indenture) to the New Redemption Amount (as defined in the
Indenture), the Class A-2 notional amount shall not be adjusted. 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.
13
(b) Extraordinary Expenses shall not be paid out of the Trust Property
unless all the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates then outstanding have directed the Trustee to incur such
Extraordinary Expenses. The Trustee may incur other Extraordinary Expenses if
any lesser percentage of the Certificateholders requesting such action
pursuant hereto reimburse the Trustee for the cost thereof from their own
funds in advance. If Extraordinary Expenses are not approved unanimously as
set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6(b), such Extraordinary
Expenses shall not be an obligation of the Trust, and the Trustee shall not
file any claim against the Trust therefor notwithstanding failure of
Certificateholders to reimburse the Trustee.
Section 7. Optional Call; Optional Exchange.
(a) On (A) any Distribution Date, (B) any date on which a tender offer
for some or all of the Underlying Securities is consummated or (C) any date on
which the Underlying Securities are to be redeemed by the Underlying
Securities Issuer, any holder of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates and the related Call Warrants, if Call Warrants related to such
Certificates are outstanding, may exchange such Certificates and, if
applicable, Call Warrants, for a distribution of Underlying Securities
representing the same percentage of the Underlying 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.
14
(iv) The Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel stating
that the Optional Exchange would not cause the Trust to be treated as an
association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes.
(v) If the Certificateholder is the Depositor or any Affiliate of
the Depositor, (1) the Trustee shall have received a certification from
the Certificateholder that any Certificates being surrendered have been
held for at least six months, and (2) the Certificates being surrendered
may represent no more than 5% (or 25% in the case of Certificates
acquired by the Underwriters but never distributed to investors) of the
then outstanding Certificates.
(vi) The Trustee shall not be obligated to determine whether an
Optional Exchange complies with the applicable provisions for exemption
under Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the
rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.
(vii) The provisions of Section 4.07 of the Standard Terms shall not
apply to an Optional Exchange pursuant to this Section 7(b). This Section
7(b) shall not provide any person with a lien against, an interest in or
a right to specific performance with respect to the Underlying
Securities; provided that satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
this 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 the
July, 2002 Distribution Date, 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 January 31, 2002
through, but excluding, the Closing Date by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of Class A-1 Certificates being exchanged on
such Optional Exchange Date and the denominator of which shall be the
total number of Class A-1 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
15
of the Call Price shall not be recoverable as a preferential transfer or
fraudulent conveyance under the United States Bankruptcy Code. Such
opinion may contain customary assumptions and qualifications.
(ii) The Warrant Holder shall have provided a certificate of
solvency to the Trustee.
(iii) Upon receipt of a Call Notice, the Trustee shall provide a
conditional call notice to the Depository not less than 3 Business Days
prior to the Call Date.
(iv) Delivery of a Call Notice does not give rise to an obligation
on the part of the Warrant Holder to pay the Call Price. If, by 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date, the Warrant Holder has not
paid the Call Price, except in connection with a Call Notice relating to
a tender offer for the Underlying Securities, then the Call Notice shall
automatically expire and none of the Warrant Holder, the Warrant Agent or
the Trustee shall have any obligation with respect to the Call Notice.
The expiration of a Call Notice shall in no way affect the Warrant
Xxxxxx's right to deliver a Call Notice at a later date. The Call Price
for a call in connection with a tender offer shall be deducted from the
proceeds of a tender offer by the Trust pursuant to Section 7(g)(iii).
(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,
16
covenant and agree to tender any and all Called Certificates to the Trustee
upon the Warrant Xxxxxx's exercise of Call Warrants and payment of the Call
Price for such Certificates in accordance with the provisions hereof and of
the Warrant Agent Agreement.
(g) (i) If the Trustee receives notice of a tender offer for some or all
of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall within one Business Day
notify the Warrant Agent and forward to the Warrant Agent copies of all
materials received by the Trustee in connection therewith. If the Trustee
receives a Call Notice from any Warrant Holder no later than five
Business Days prior to the expiration of the tender offer acceptance
period that such Warrant Holder desires to exercise all or a portion of
its Call Warrants in connection with the consummation of any such tender
offer, then the Trustee shall tender, in compliance with the tender offer
requirements, an amount of Underlying Securities equal to the amount of
Underlying Securities that would be distributable to the Warrant Holder
with respect to an Optional Exchange of the Called Certificates called by
such Warrant Holder; provided that any Optional Call or Optional Exchange
undertaken in connection with any such tender offer shall be subject to
the provisions of Section 7 hereof.
(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.
17
(v) If the tender offer is terminated by the Underlying Securities
Issuer or any other tender offeror without consummation thereof or if all
tenders by the Trust of Underlying Securities are otherwise rejected,
then (1) the Call Notices will be of no further force and effect, and (2)
any Call Warrants relating to such Call Notices will not be exercised and
will remain outstanding.
Section 8. Notices of Events of Default.
As promptly as practicable after, and in any event within 30 days
after, the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall give notice of such Event of Default to the Depository, or,
if any Certificates are not then held by DTC or any other depository, directly
to the registered holders of such Certificates, and to the Warrant Agent.
However, except in the case of an Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal of or interest on any of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee will
be protected in withholding such notice if in good faith it determines that
the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Certificateholders.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.
(a) The provisions of Section 4.04, Advances, of the Standard Terms shall
not apply to the AIG Debenture-Backed Series 2002-10 Certificates.
(b) The provisions of Section 4.07, Optional Exchange, of the Standard
Terms shall not apply to the AIG Debenture-Backed Series 2002-10 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 AIG Debenture-Backed Series 2002-10 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
18
Agreement or incidental and necessary to accomplish such activities. The Trust
may not issue or sell any certificates or other obligations other than the
Certificates and the Call Warrants or otherwise incur, assume or guarantee any
indebtedness for money borrowed. Notwithstanding Section 3.05 of the Standard
Terms, funds on deposit in the Certificate Account shall not be invested.
Section 2.01(f) of the Standard Terms shall be superseded by this provision.
(i) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee may be removed upon 60 days prior written notice delivered by the
holders of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates representing the
Required Percentage-Removal.
(j) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service challenges the
characterization of the Trust as a grantor trust, the Trustee shall then file
such forms as the Depositor may specify to establish the Trust's election
pursuant to Section 761 of the Code to exclude the Trust from the application
of Subchapter K of the Code and is hereby empowered to execute such forms on
behalf of the Certificateholders.
(k) Notwithstanding anything in the Standard Terms to the contrary, the
Trustee, upon written direction by the Depositor, will execute the
Certificates.
(l) In relation to Section 7.01(f) of the Standard Terms, any periodic
reports filed by the Trustee pursuant to the Exchange Act in accordance with
the customary practices of the Depositor, need not contain any independent
reports.
(m) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee will have no recourse to the Underlying Securities.
(n) [Reserved].
(o) The Trust will not merge or consolidate with any other entity without
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such merger or consolidation will
not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current
rating on the Certificates.
(p) All directions, demands and notices hereunder or under the Standard
Terms shall be in writing and shall be delivered as set forth below (unless
written notice is otherwise provided to the Trustee).

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 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
21
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 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.
22
(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 Trustee to secure a debt or
other obligation of the Depositor, pursuant to Section 10.07 of the Standard
Terms. In connection with any such grant of a security interest in the
Underlying Securities (including any such grant in connection with any sale of
additional Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 3(d)), the Depositor
hereby represents and warrants to Trustee as follows:
(i) In the event the Underlying Securities are held to be property
of the Depositor, then the Trust Agreement creates a valid and
continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable
Uniform Commercial Code) in the Underlying Securities in favor
of the Trustee which security interest is prior to all other
liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of, and
purchasers from, the Depositor.
(ii) The Underlying Securities have been credited to a trust account
(the "Securities Account") of the Trustee, or its authorized
agent, in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Standard Terms.
The Trustee, as securities intermediary for the Securities
Account, has agreed to treat the Underlying Securities as
"financial assets" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial
Code.
(iii) Immediately prior to the transfer of the Underlying Securities
to the Trust, Depositor owned and had good and marketable title
to the Underlying Securities free and clear of any lien, claim
or encumbrance of any Person.
23
(iv) Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by
the terms of the Underlying Securities to the transfer to the
Trustee of its interest and rights in the Underlying Securities
as contemplated by the Trust Agreement.
(v) Depositor has taken all steps necessary to cause the Trustee,
as securities intermediary for the Securities Account, to
identify on its records that the Trustee, as the trustee of the
Trust, is the Person having a security entitlement against the
securities intermediary in the Securities Account.
(vi) Depositor has not assigned, pledged, sold, granted a security
interest in or otherwise conveyed any interest in the
Underlying Securities (or, if any such interest has been
assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered, it has been
released). Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is
not aware of any financing statements against Depositor that
includes a description of the Underlying Securities. Depositor
is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against
Depositor.
(vii) The Securities Account is not in the name of any Person other
than the Trust. Depositor has not consented to the compliance
by the Trustee, as securities intermediary, with entitlement
orders of any Person other than the Trustee, as trustee of the
Trust.
24
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Series
Supplement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of
the date first written above.

of the Class A-1 Certificates and the 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 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).
(d) 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 automatically expire and
none of the Warrant Holder, the Warrant Agent or the Trustee shall have any
obligation with
2
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.
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 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
(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.
In each case, the Trustee shall act in accordance with such instructions.
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 (other than that reflecting any such
transfer or exchange) 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.
Section 1.5 Pro Rata Reduction of Call Warrants if Partial Redemption of
Underlying Securities. If Underlying Securities are redeemed in part by the
Underlying Securities Issuer and the Warrant Holders do not exercise their
Call Rights in connection with such partial redemption, the number of Call
Warrants held by each Warrant Holder shall be reduced proportionately so that
the aggregate amount of Class A-1 Certificates callable by Call Warrants shall
equal the amount of outstanding Class A-1 Certificates after giving effect to
such partial redemption and
3
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.
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:

1933, as amended, and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of

Section 5.2 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

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 shall have exercised reasonable care in

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.
(c) The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
(d) The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of
the statements of fact or recitals contained herein or be required to verify
the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have
been made by the Trust and the Depositor only.
(e) 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.
(f) 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.
(g) 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.
8
(h) 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.

provisions thereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary.

contained herein.
(k) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation or 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 shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Trustee in writing of any
claim made or action, suit or proceeding instituted against it arising out of
or in connection with the Call Warrants.

remove the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent upon thirty (30) days
notice in writing, mailed to the Warrant Agent or successor Warrant Agent, as
the case may be, and to the Warrant Holders by first-class mail; provided

designated, the Depositor shall then appoint a permanent successor to the
Warrant Agent, which may be the interim Warrant Agent. If the Depositor shall
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
9
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.

fee of $50.00 upon the issue of any new Call Warrant, such fee to be assessed

any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any

from time to time by the Depositor, the Trustee and the Warrant Agent without
the consent of any Warrant Holder, upon receipt of an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent that the provisions hereof have been
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
Code, for any of the following purposes: (i) to cure 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 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 any Warrant Holder or any holder of a Certificate;

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
modifying in any manner the rights of the Warrant Holders; provided, however,
that no such amendment shall (i) adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of holders of Certificates without the consent of the holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than the Required Percentage-Amendment of the
aggregate Voting Rights of such affected Certificates (as such terms are
defined in the Trust Agreement) and without written confirmation from the
Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in a downgrading or
withdrawal of its rating of the Certificates; (ii) alter the terms on which
Call Warrants are exercisable or the amounts payable upon exercise of a
Warrant without the consent of the holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than 100% of the aggregate Voting Rights of such affected Certificates and
100% of 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.
(c) 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.
Section 6.5 Expiration. The right to exercise the Call Warrants shall
expire on the earliest to occur of (a) the cancellation thereof, (b) the
termination of the Trust Agreement, or (c) the liquidation, disposition, or

LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF

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

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with its proposed purchase of Call Warrants (the "Call
Warrants") more particularly described in Schedule A hereto, the undersigned
purchaser (the "Purchaser") confirms that:
1. The Purchaser 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, Xxxxxx ABS Corporation, as depositor (the
"Depositor"), or U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (the
"Trustee"), or any of your or their affiliates, except as expressly
contained in written information, if any. 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 (A) is a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" (as defined in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"))
and (B) is acquiring the Call Warrants for 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 Securities have not been and will not
be registered under the 1933 Act or under the securities or blue sky laws
of any state, and that (i) if it decides to resell, pledge or otherwise
transfer any Security, such resale, pledge or other
transfer must comply with the provisions of Section 3(e) of the Series
Supplement relating to the Security and (ii) it will, and each subsequent
holder will be required to, notify any purchaser of any Security 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 substantially to the following effect, unless otherwise agreed by
the Depositor and the Trustee:
