[Senior] Certificates and the Class A-[ ] [Subordinated] Certificates then
Outstanding vote to require the Trustee to incur such Extraordinary Trust
Expenses. The Trustee may incur other Extraordinary Trust 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 Trust Expenses are not approved unanimously as set
forth in the first sentence of this Section 6(b), such Extraordinary Trust
Expenses shall not be an obligation of the Trust, and the Trustee shall not
file any claim against the Trust therefor notwithstanding any failure of
Certificateholders to reimburse the Trustee.
Section 7. [Optional Exchange]; [Call Option]; [Early Termination]
(a) [Optional Exchange.] On each Distribution Date (or, if the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor holds all of the Certificates, on
any other date) any holder of Class A-[ ] [Senior] Certificates of a certain
principal amount and Class A-[ ] [Subordinated] Certificates representing a
like percentage of the principal amount thereof, may tender such Certificates
to the Trustee on such date and receive a distribution of Underlying
Securities representing a like percentage of the Underlying Securities to the
percentages of the Class A-[ ] Certificates being tendered by such
Certificateholder to the Trustee; provided, however, that any such exchange
right shall be exercisable only (a) to the extent that the Depositor provides,
upon the Trustee's request, an opinion of counsel that such exchange would not
(x) affect the characterization of the Trust as a "grantor trust" for federal
income tax purposes, or (y) cause the Trust to be required to be registered as
an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and (b) to the extent
permitted under Section 7(a)(iii) hereof.
(i) The Certificateholder must provide notice to the Trustee
(an "Exchange Request") no less than fifteen (15) days
(or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) but
not more than thirty (30) days prior to an Optional
Exchange Date that it requests an Optional Exchange of
its Certificates on such Optional Exchange Date.
(ii) 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.
(iii) Any such Optional Exchange by a Certificateholder will
be subject to the following restrictions: (a)
certification by the Certificateholder to the Trustee
that any Certificates to be exchanged have been held for
a minimum of six months and (b) each Optional Exchange
is limited in amount to a maximum of [5%] (except for
Certificates acquired by the Underwriter but never
distributed to investors, in which case [25%]) of the
then [Certificate Principal Balance] [Accreted Principal
Amount] of the Class A-[ ] Certificates, provided,
however, that such -------- ------- restrictions shall
not apply to the exchange of Certificates that were
acquired pursuant to Section 7(b).]
(iv) This Section 7 shall not provide any Certificateholder
with a lien against, an interest in or a right to
specific performance with respect to the Underlying
Securities.
(b) Call Option. On any Call Date, the Rights Holder or an affiliate
thereof may exercise the Call Option and acquire the Certificates in whole or
in part, at the Call Price, upon payment of the Call Price on or prior to such
Call Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.08 of the Standard
Terms.
[add any other relevant information about the Call Option for this
Series]]
(c) [Early Termination.] [The Depositor may, at its sole option,
purchase the Underlying Securities and effect an early termination of the
Certificates on any Distribution Date on or after the date on which the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Underlying Securities is
reduced to less than [ten percent (10%)] [specify other amount] of the
aggregate principal amount of the Underlying Securities as of the Cut-Off
Date; provided, however, that prior to such purchase, the Depositor must
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel which provides that such purchase
by the Depositor is consistent with Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act
and all applicable rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder. The
purchase price payable by the Depositor in such event shall be not less than
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Underlying Securities on
the date of purchase.]
Section 8. Underlying Security Events of Default, Reporting Failures
or Exchanged Securities.
(a) Notice to Certificateholders. Within thirty (30) days of the
occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of any Underlying Security, the
Trustee will give notice to the Certificateholders [name any other person to
receive notice] [and the holder of the Retained Interest] transmitted by mail,
of all such uncured or unwaived Events of Default known to it. However, except
in the case of an Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, if
any, 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 interests of the Certificateholders.
(b) Realization Upon Defaulted Deposited Assets or Exchanged
Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, (A) in the event of
the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default with respect to any Underlying
Security (ii) an acceleration of the date of maturity of any Underlying
Security in connection with a default thereon, or (B) upon the exchange by an
Underlying Securities Issuer of an Underlying Security for a new security, the
Depositor shall, within __ days of the occurrence of such event [instruct the
Trustee to make a distribution "in-kind" of the related security to the
Certificateholders on a pro rata basis in proportion to their outstanding
Certificate Principal Balances][instruct the Trustee to direct the Market
Agent to sell such Underlying Security and distribute the proceeds of such
sale to the Certificateholders pro rata in accordance with their respective
Certificate Principal Balances]. If the Depositor instructs the Trustee to
make an "in-kind" distribution to the Certificateholders, the provisions of
Section 8(c) below will apply.
(c) "In-kind" Distributions by the Depositor. If the Depositor
instructs the Trustee to make an "in-kind" distribution to the
Certificateholders, individual Certificateholders may elect to either (x)
receive such "in-kind" distribution or (y) have the Depositor (or its
Affiliate) sell their allocable share of such Underlying Security (or security
received in exchange for any Underlying Security), in lieu of receiving such
"in-kind" distribution. If a Certificateholder determines to accept an
"in-kind" distribution, the Trustee shall distribute to such Certificateholder
its pro rata share of the related Underlying Security (or security received in
exchange for any Underlying Security). If as a result of any minimum
denomination requirements applicable to the Underlying Securities (or
securities received in exchange for any Underlying Securities), the Trustee
cannot make a full distribution to such Certificateholders of their pro rata
share of such Underlying Securities (or securities received in exchange for
any Underlying Securities), the Depositor will instruct the Trustee to direct
the Market Agent to sell, in accordance with the Bidding Procedures described
below under "Collections - Bidding Procedures," the portion of such securities
which cannot be sold in compliance with the applicable minimum denomination
requirements. The amount of the Underlying Securities (or securities received
in exchange for any Underlying Securities), to be sold by the Market Agent
will equal the difference between such Certificateholder's pro rata share of
such Underlying Securities (or securities received in exchange for any
Underlying Securities), held by the Trust and the maximum amount of such
Underlying Securities (or securities received in exchange for any Underlying
Securities), that can be distributed to such Certificateholder in compliance
with the applicable minimum denomination requirements with respect to such
Underlying Securities (or securities received in exchange for any Underlying
Securities).
(d) Sale by the Depositor. In the event the Underlying Securities (or
securities received in exchange for any Underlying Securities), subject to
distribution, are to be sold rather than distributed in kind, as described
herein; the Depositor will instruct the Trustee to direct the Market Agent to
sell such Underlying Securities (or securities received in exchange for any
Underlying Securities), in accordance with the Bidding Procedures described
below under "Collections - Bidding Procedures" and upon disposition of such
Underlying Securities (or securities received in exchange for any Underlying
Securities), the Trustee will distribute the proceeds of such sale to the
Certificateholders.
(e) Bidding Procedures. Prior to selling any Underlying Securities
(or securities received in exchange for any Underlying Securities), the Market
Agent shall solicit bids from not less than 3 dealers in such securities
(which bidders may include Banc of America Securities LLC) for the sale of
such securities with settlement thereof on or before the third Business Day
after such sale. Each bid shall be solicited from a financial institution with
not less than $100 million in assets under management or $100 million in
invested assets. Neither the Market Agent nor the Trustee shall be responsible
for the failure to obtain a bid provided the Market Agent has made reasonable
efforts to obtain bids. In the event one or more bids are received by the
Market Agent, the Market Agent shall accept the highest bid received, subject
to best execution. If a bid for the purchase of a security has been accepted
by the Market Agent but the sale has failed to settle on the proposed
settlement date, the Market Agent shall solicit new bids. Upon any sale of any
applicable Underlying Security (or security received in exchange for any
Underlying Security), the proceeds of such sale (less expenses and
commissions) shall be distributed to the Certificateholders pro rata, in
proportion to their respective Certificate Principal Balances no later than
[two] Business Days after receipt of immediately available funds. In the event
the Market Agent receives no bids to purchase such Underlying Security (or
security received in exchange for any Underlying Security), by the close of
business on the fifth Business Day after the distribution of bid
solicitations, [or is unable to settle with any Purchaser within [15] days
from the date the Market Agent was first directed to sell such Underlying
Security (or security received in exchange for any Underlying Security),] the
Trustee shall distribute such security "in kind" to the Certificateholders on
a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective Certificate Principal
Balances; provided, however, that if the bidding process is undertaken to
comply with any minimum denomination requirement, the Market Agent shall
repeat the foregoing bid solicitation until such Underlying Securities (or
securities received in exchange for any Underlying Securities), have been
sold.
(f) Liquidated Underlying Securities. If an Underlying Security (or
security received in exchange for any Underlying Security) is liquidated and
the proceeds of such liquidation are less than the sum of (i) the outstanding
principal balance of the Underlying Security (or security received in exchange
for any Underlying Security), (ii) interest accrued thereon at the applicable
interest rate and (iii) the aggregate amount of expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with such liquidation to the extent reimbursable from
the assets of the Trust under the Trust Agreement, the Trust will realize a
loss in an amount equal to such difference. The Trustee will be entitled to
withdraw or cause to be withdrawn from the net proceeds recovered on any
Underlying Security (or security received in exchange for any Underlying
Security), prior to the distribution of such proceeds to Certificateholders,
amounts representing its compensation with respect to such Underlying Security
(or security received in exchange for any Underlying Security), including
unreimbursed administrative expenses incurred to liquidate such Underlying
Security (or security received in exchange for any Underlying Security) and
any unreimbursed advances of delinquent payments made with respect to such
Underlying Security (or security received in exchange for any Underlying
Security).
(g) Underlying Securities Reporting Failure. In the event an issuer
of an Underlying Security (the outstanding principal balance of which is equal
to or in excess of ten percent (10%) of the aggregate principal balance of the
Deposited Assets) ceases to file periodic reports (to the extent such periodic
reports are required to be filed by such Underlying Securities Issuer under
the Exchange Act), the Depositor shall, within thirty (30) days after the
earlier of (i) the date the Underlying Securities Issuer shall have stated in
writing that it intends to permanently cease filing periodic reports required
to be filed under the Exchange Act and (ii) the date the Underlying Securities
Issuer failed to file such periodic report, instruct the Trustee to make a
distribution "in-kind" of the related Underlying Security to the
Certificateholders on a pro rata basis in proportion to their outstanding
Certificate Principal Balances. An Underlying Securities Issuer shall not be
deemed to have ceased filing required periodic reports for this purpose merely
because reporting by such issuer is delayed or temporarily suspended.
Accordingly, the requirement above to make an "in-kind" distribution of an
Underlying Security shall not apply unless an Underlying Securities Issuer
either (x) states in writing that it intends permanently to cease filing
reports required under the Exchange Act or (y) fails to file any required
reports for one full calendar year. If the Depositor instructs the Trustee to
make such an "in-kind" distribution to the Certificateholders, the provisions
of Section 8(c) above will apply with respect to such distribution.
Section 9. Termination Events.
(a) "Termination Events" shall mean any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Termination Event and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):
(i) [the failure by the Trust to pay the Required Interest
Amount on the Class A-[ ] [Senior] Certificates or the
Class A-[ ] [Subordinated] Certificates when due and

(ii) [on any Distribution Date, a default in the payment to
the Certificateholders of the Principal Proceeds
received by the Trustee or a default in the payment in
full of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
A-[ ] [Senior] Certificates or the [Certificate
Principal Balance] [Accreted Principal Amount] of the
Class A-[ ] Certificates on the Final Scheduled
Distribution Date;]
(iii) [the entry of a decree or order by a court having
jurisdiction over the Trust, adjudging the Trust as
bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a
petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition of or in respect of the Trust under any
Bankruptcy Law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, or sequestrator (or other similar official) of
the Trust or of any substantial part of its property, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs,
and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed
and in effect for a period of [sixty (60)] consecutive
days; ]
(iv) [the institution by the Trust of proceedings to be
adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by
the Trust to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings against it, or the filing by the Trust of a
petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or
relief under any Bankruptcy Law, or the consent by
either the Trust to the filing of any such petition or
to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee or sequestrator (or other similar official) of
the Trust or of any substantial part of its property, or
to the ordering of the winding up or liquidation of its
affairs, or the making by the Trust of an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Trust
in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due, or the taking of any action by the
Trust in furtherance of any such action;]
(v) [a failure on the part of the Trust to perform any
covenant of the Trust which failure has a material
adverse effect on the Certificateholders and which
continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days
after written notice thereof shall have been given by
registered mail, certified mail or overnight courier to
the Trustee by the Depositor or the Holders of at least
[50%] of the Outstanding Certificates;]
(vi) the Trust becomes an "investment company" required to
register under the Investment Company Act; or
(vii) a failure on the part of the Trust to pay any amount
payable under the terms of any [Other Deposited Asset]
[Credit Support].
(b) Acceleration of Maturity .
If a Termination Event described in clauses (iii) or (iv) above were
to occur and be continuing, the Certificate Principal Balance [or Accreted
Principal Amount, as applicable,] and any accrued interest on the Certificates
will be immediately due and payable without demand, presentment or notice by
any Certificateholder. If any other Termination Event described in any of the
remaining clauses in Section 9(a) above shall have occurred and be continuing,
(i) the Trustee, by notice to the Depositor or (ii) the Holders of not less
than [50%] of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates, by notice
to the Depositor and to the Trustee, may declare the [Certificate Principal
Balance] [and/or] [Accreted Principal Amount] due on the Certificates to be
immediately due and payable and upon any such declaration, such amounts
together with all accrued and unpaid interest due thereon (if any) shall
become immediately due and payable.
Upon the declaration of a Termination Event hereunder, the Trustee
will deliver a Notice of Termination Event to the Certificateholders which
specifies the nature of the Termination Event which has occurred and the
percentage of Certificateholders voting to declare a Termination Event
hereunder, if applicable. Upon the declaration of a Termination Event, the
Trustee (acting on the behalf of and at the direction of [the holders of more
than [50%] of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates]) will
direct the remedies to be exercised on behalf of the Certificateholders. If
the Certificates are accelerated and the Certificateholders direct the Trustee
to sell the Deposited Assets, the Class A-[ ] Certificateholders shall be
entitled to receive the outstanding Class A-[ ] Certificate Principal Balance
of such Certificates together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the
Class A-[ ] Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive [Accreted
Principal Amount] [Certificate Principal Balance] of such Certificates
[together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon], to the extent of
Available Funds, which amounts shall be applied [in accordance with Section 5
hereof][ as follows: [ ]]. At any time after an acceleration of maturity has
been made as provided above, such declaration may be rescinded in accordance
with the terms of Section [ ] of the Standard Terms.
Section 10. Reports of Independent Public Accountants.

shall not be entitled to terminate the Trust or cause the sale or other
disposition of the Underlying Securities.]

Collection Period on any Deposited Asset 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 Underlying Securities Issuers [Other
Deposited Assets Providers] [Credit Support Providers] as a result of such
delay shall be paid to the Certificateholders, proportionately to the ratio of
their respective entitlements to interest.]
(f) The Trust may not engage in any business or activities other than
in connection with, or relating to, the acquiring, holding, protecting and
preserving of the Deposited Assets and the issuance of the Certificates, 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 or otherwise
incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed.
(g) 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

its then-current rating on the Certificates and (ii) an opinion of counsel

adversely affect the Trust's status as a Grantor Trust.

Section 14. [Reserved].
Section 15. [Voting of Underlying Securities, Modification of
Underlying Securities Agreements. The Trustee, as holder of the Deposited
Assets, has the right to vote and give consents and waivers in respect of the
Underlying Securities in accordance with the rules of the Depository and
except as otherwise limited by the Trust Agreement. In the event that the
Trustee receives a request from the Depository or the issuer or the trustee of
any Underlying Security for consent to any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of the related Underlying Securities Agreement or any other
document relating thereto, or receives any other solicitation for any action
with respect to the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall mail a notice of
such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation to each
Certificateholder of record as of such date. The Trustee shall request
instructions from the Certificateholders as to whether or not to consent to or
vote to accept such amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation. The
Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the
same proportion (based on the relative outstanding principal balances of the
Certificates) as the Certificates of the Trust were actually voted or not
voted by the Certificateholders thereof as of a date determined by the Trustee
prior to the date on which such consent or vote is required; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the
contrary, the Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter (i) if
the effect of the action to be taken pursuant to such vote or consent would
(based on an opinion of counsel) alter the status of the Trust as a grantor
trust for federal income tax purposes or result in the imposition of tax upon
the Certificateholders, [(ii) alter the timing or amount of any payment on any
item of the Deposited Assets, including, without limitation, any demand to
accelerate the Underlying Securities, except in the event of a default on any
of the Underlying Securities or an event which with the passage of time would
become an event of default under the Underlying Securities and with the
[unanimous consent] of all outstanding Class A-[ ] Certificateholders and
Class A-[ ] Certificateholders,] or [(iii) 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 and only
with the consent of Certificateholders representing [100%] of the Class A-[ ]
[Senior] Certificates and [100%] of the Class A-[ ] [Subordinated]
Certificates.] 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.]
[In the event that an offer is made by any Underlying Securities
Issuers 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-[ ]
Certificateholders and the Class A-[ ] Certificateholders of such offer
promptly. The Trustee must reject any such offer unless the Trustee is
directed by the affirmative vote of the holders of [100%] of the Class A-[ ]
[Senior] Certificates and the Class A-[ ] [Subordinated] Certificates to
accept such offer and the Trustee has received the tax opinion described
above.] Any security received by the Trustee in exchange for an Underlying
Security must either be sold or distributed "in kind" by the Trustee in

SECTION 2.1 AUCTION RATE.
SECTION 2.1.1 DETERMINING THE AUCTION RATE FOR THE AUCTION RATE
CERTIFICATES.
By purchasing an Auction Rate Certificate, whether in an
Auction or otherwise, each such purchaser and its Broker-Dealer shall be
deemed by such purchase to have agreed (i) to participate in Auctions on the
terms described herein, (ii) to have its beneficial ownership of the Auction
Rate Certificates maintained at all times in Book-Entry Form through the
account of its Participant, which in turn will maintain records of such
beneficial ownership, and (iii) to authorize such Participant to disclose to
the Auction Agent information with respect to such beneficial ownership as the
Auction Agent may request.
An Existing Certificateholder may sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of Auction Rate Certificates pursuant to a Sell Order placed in an
Auction or otherwise through a Broker-Dealer, provided that, in the case of
all transfers other than pursuant to an Auction, such Existing
Certificateholder, its Broker-Dealer or its Participant shall advise the
Auction Agent of such transfer. Auctions shall be conducted on each applicable
Auction Date in the following manner:
(a) (i) Prior to the Submission Deadline on each related
Auction Date:
(A) each Existing Certificateholder may submit to a
Broker-Dealer (by telephone or otherwise) information as to:
(1) the principal amount of the Outstanding class owned
by such Existing Certificateholder which such Existing
Certificateholder desires to continue to own without regard to
the Auction Spread Amount for such Class for the next
succeeding Interest Accrual Period;
(2) the principal amount of the Outstanding Class owned
by such Existing Certificateholder which such Existing
Certificateholder offers to sell if the Auction Spread Amount
for such Class for the next succeeding related Interest Accrual
Period shall be less than the Sell Spread Amount specified by
such Existing Certificateholder;
(3) the principal amount of the Outstanding Class owned
by such Existing Certificateholder which such Existing
Certificateholder offers to sell without regard to the Auction
Spread Amount for such Class for the next succeeding related
Interest Accrual Period; and/or
(4) the principal amount of the Outstanding Class that
the Existing Certificateholder offers to purchase if the
Auction Spread Amount for such Class for the next succeeding
related Interest Accrual Period exceeds the Bid Spread Amount
specified by such Existing Certificateholder.
(B) one or more Broker-Dealers may contact Potential
Certificateholders to determine the principal amount of Certificates
of the related Class which each Potential Certificateholder offers to
purchase, if the Auction Spread Amount for such Class for the next
succeeding related Interest Accrual Period equals or exceeds the Bid
Spread Amount specified by such Potential Certificateholder.
The statement of an Existing Certificateholder or a Potential
Certificateholder referred to in (A) or (B) of this paragraph (i) is herein
referred to as an "Order," and each Existing Certificateholder and each
Potential Certificateholder placing an Order is herein referred to as a
"Bidder"; an Order described in clause (A)(1) is herein referred to as a "Hold
Order"; an Order described in clauses (A)(4) and (B) is herein referred to as
a "Bid"; and an Order described in clause (A)(2) and (A)(3) is herein referred
to as a "Sell Order."
(ii) Each Broker-Dealer shall submit in writing to the Auction
Agent prior to the Submission Deadline on each Auction Date, all Orders
obtained by such Broker-Dealer and shall specify with respect to each such
Order:
(A) the name of the Bidder placing such Order;
(B) the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Class
that are the subject of such Order;
(C) if such Bidder is an Existing Certificateholder:
(1) the principal amount of the Outstanding Class, if
any, subject to any Hold Order placed by such Existing
Certificateholder;
(2) the principal amount of the Outstanding Class, if
any, subject to any Bid placed by such Existing
Certificateholder and the Bid Spread Amount specified in such
Bid; and
(3) the principal amount of the Outstanding Class, if
any, subject to any Sell Order placed by such Existing
Certificateholder (and the Sell Spread Amount, if any,
specified in such Sell Order); and
(D) to the extent such Bidder is a Potential Certificateholder,
the Bid Spread Amount specified in such Potential Certificateholder's
Bid.
(iii) The Bid Spread Amount or Sell Spread Amount specified in
any Bid or Sell Order, shall be expressed as a percentage and the Auction
Agent shall round such Bid Spread Amount or Sell Spread Amount to the nearest
one thousandth of one percent.
(iv) If an Order or Orders covering all of the Auction Rate
Certificates owned by an Existing Certificateholder is not submitted to the
Auction Agent prior to the Submission Deadline, the Auction Agent shall deem a
Hold Order to have been submitted on behalf of such Existing Certificateholder
covering the principal amount of the Certificates owned by such Existing
Certificateholder and not subject to an Order submitted to the Auction Agent.
(v) None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Auction Agent
shall be responsible for any failure of a Broker-Dealer to submit an Order to
the Auction Agent on behalf of any Existing Certificateholder or Potential
Certificateholder.
(vi) If any Existing Certificateholder submits one or more
Orders covering in the aggregate more than the principal amount of the
Outstanding Class owned by such Existing Certificateholder, such Order(s)
shall be considered valid as follows and in the following order of priority:
(A) All Hold Orders shall be considered valid but only up to
the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Class owned by such
Existing Certificateholder;
(B) (1) any Bid shall be considered valid up to an amount
equal to the excess of the principal amount of the Outstanding
Class owned by such Existing Certificateholder over the
aggregate principal amount of such Class subject to any Hold
Order referred to in clause (A) of this paragraph (vi);
(2) if more than one Bid with different rates is
submitted on behalf of such Existing Certificateholder, such
Bids shall be considered valid (to the extent of the excess of
the principal amount of the Outstanding Class owned by the
Existing Certificateholder over the aggregate principal amount
of such Class subject to any Hold Order referred to in clause
(A) of this paragraph (vi)) first in the ascending order of
their respective Bid Spread Amounts until the highest Bid
Spread Amount is reached and the amount of such excess is
covered; and
(3) in any such event, the amount of the Outstanding
Class, if any, subject to Bids not valid under this clause (B)
shall be treated as the subject of a Bid by a Potential
Certificateholder at the Bid Spread Amounts therein specified;
and
(C) All Sell Orders shall be considered valid up to an amount
equal to the excess of the principal amount of the Outstanding Class
owned by such Existing Certificateholder over the sum of the
aggregate principal amount of such Certificates subject to Hold
Orders referred to in clause (A) of this paragraph (vi) and Bids
referred to in clause (B) of this paragraph (vi).
(vii) If more than one Bid for a Class is submitted on behalf
of any Potential Certificateholder, each Bid submitted shall be a separate Bid
with the Bid Spread Amounts and principal amount therein specified.
(viii) An Existing Certificateholder that offers to purchase
additional Certificates of any Class is, for purposes of such offer, treated
as a Potential Certificateholder.
(ix) Any Bid or Sell Order submitted by an Existing
Certificateholder covering an aggregate principal amount of Certificates not
equal to an Authorized Denomination shall be rejected and shall be deemed a
Hold Order. Any Bid submitted by a Potential Certificateholder covering an
aggregate principal amount of a Class not equal to an Authorized Denomination
shall be rejected.
(x) Any Order submitted in an Auction by a Broker-Dealer to the
Auction Agent shall be irrevocable after the Submission Deadline.
(b) (i) Not earlier than the Submission Deadline on each
Auction Date, the Auction Agent shall assemble all Orders submitted to it by
the Broker-Dealers (each such Order as submitted by a Broker-Dealer being
herein referred to individually as a "Submitted Hold Order," a "Submitted Bid"
or a "Submitted Sell Order," as the case may be, or as a "Submitted Order,"
and collectively as "Submitted Hold Orders," "Submitted Bids" or "Submitted
Sell Orders," as the case may be, or as "Submitted Orders") and:
(A) shall determine the excess of the total principal amount of
the Outstanding Class over the sum of the aggregate principal amount
of such Outstanding Class subject to Submitted Hold Orders (such
excess being herein referred to as the "Available Certificates").
(B) from the Submitted Orders the Auction Agent shall (i)
select the Clearing Bids and (ii) establish the Auction Rate.
(C) the Clearing Bids will be selected by the Auction Agent as
follows:
(1) the Auction Agent shall select the "Clearing Bids"
from the Submitted Orders, in order of increasing Bid Spread
Amounts (beginning with the Submitted Order with the lowest Bid
Spread Amount), until the Auction Agent has cleared an
aggregate principal amount of Submitted Bids which is at least
equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Available
Certificates, and
(2) the highest Bid Spread Amount in any Clearing Bid
which, when added to [describe Index] for the related Interest
Accrual Period, equals a rate which is less than or equal to
the Maximum Auction Rate shall be the Auction Spread Amount
used to calculate the Auction Rate for such Auction Rate
Certificates for the following Interest Accrual Period;
(D) in the event the final Submitted Bid (or Submitted Bids if
more than one Submitted Bid has the same Bid Spread Amount) to be
cleared by the Auction Agent in accordance with sub-clause
2.1.1(b)(i)(C) above results in an aggregate principal amount of the
Clearing Bids in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the
Available Certificates, the Auction Agent shall reduce each of the
Clearing Bids pro rata.
(E) If the Auction Agent determines that it has received
Clearing Bids in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Available Certificates which have
Bid Spread Amounts which when added to [describe Index] will be equal
to or less than the Maximum Auction Rate ("Sufficient Bids"), then,
the Auction Agent shall deliver a notice to each Bidder that
submitted a Clearing Bid which notifies such Bidder that its bid has
been accepted and which sets forth (a) the aggregate amount of
Auction Rate Certificates to be purchased by the Bidder, (b) the Bid
Spread Amount and (c) payment delivery instructions (such notice a
"Funding Notice") and shall send copies thereof to the Trustee, the
Depositor and each Broker-Dealer.
(F) Each Bidder will be required, pursuant to the terms of each
Funding Notice, to fund payment for its portion of the Auction Rate
Certificates to an account held by the Trustee (the "Auction Rate
Certificate Funding Account") by the close of business on the first
Business Day of the related Interest Accrual Period; provided,
however that any Existing Certificateholder will not be required to
make a deposit in the Auction Rate Certificate Funding Account,
except to the extent such Existing Certificateholder is purchasing
Auction Rate Certificates in an aggregate principal amount in excess
of the aggregate principal amount of the Auction Rate Certificates
previously owned by such Existing Certificateholder, in which case
the Existing Certificateholder shall be required to fund the
difference between the aggregate principal amount of Auction Rate
Certificates previously held by it and the aggregate principal amount
of Auction Rate Certificates to be purchased by it.
(G) If the Trustee has not received a notice from the Auction
Agent by the close of business on the Business Day following the
Auction Date that the Auction Agent received Sufficient Bids, the
Trustee shall notify the Auction Agent and the Depositor by no later
than the first Business Day of the Interest Accrual Period that it
has not received such notice.
(ii) if all the Outstanding Class is subject to Submitted Hold
Orders, the Auction Rate for such Class for the next succeeding Interest
Accrual Period shall be equal to the All Hold Rate for such Class;
(iii) if Sufficient Bids for a Class do not exist (other than
because all of the Outstanding Certificates in such Class is subject to
Submitted Hold Orders) (a "Failed Auction"), the Auction Rate for such Class
for the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to the Maximum
Auction Rate for such Class;
(iv) if a scheduled Auction is not being held for any reason
with respect to a Class, the Auction Rate for such Class for the next
succeeding Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to the Maximum Auction Rate
for such Class; or
(v) promptly after the Auction Agent has made the
determinations pursuant to Sections 2.1.1(b)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof,
the Auction Agent shall advise the Trustee of the applicable Auction Rate for
each Class, the All Hold Rate, if applicable, the Maximum Auction Rate, and
the components thereof on the Auction Date.
(c) Existing Certificateholders shall continue to own the principal
amount of Auction Rate Certificates that are subject to Submitted Hold Orders.
(i) If all of the Outstanding Class are subject to Submitted
Hold Orders, all Submitted Bids shall be rejected.
(ii) If, as a result of the procedures described herein, any
Existing Certificateholder or Potential Certificateholder would be
entitled or required to purchase less than an Authorized Denomination
of any Class, the Auction Agent shall, in its sole discretion,
allocate such Certificates for purchase among such Existing
Certificateholders and Potential Certificateholders so that only
Certificates in Authorized Denominations or integral multiples of
[$25,000] in excess thereof are purchased by each Existing
Certificateholder or Potential Certificateholder, even if such
allocation results in one or more of such Existing Certificateholders
or Potential Certificateholders not purchasing any such Certificates.
