to sell such Underlying Securities to the highest of not less than three
solicited bidders (which bidders may include JPMSI, one of its affiliates or
any of the Underwriters), provided, however, that none of JPMSI, any of its
affiliates or any of
10
the Underwriters is obligated to bid for those Underlying Securities; and
provided, further, that JPMSI will use its reasonable efforts to solicit at
least three bids from financial institutions with invested assets or assets
under management of at least $50 million that are not affiliates of JPMSI).
If JPMSI receives less than three bids for all or less than all of such
Underlying Securities prior to the close of business on the seventh Business
Day following its receipt of the applicable Sale Instructions, the
Calculation Agent will sell the Underlying Securities for which bids have
been received to the highest bidder of the bids received. In the sole
judgment of the Calculation Agent, bids may be evaluated on the basis of
bids for all or a portion of the Underlying Securities to be sold or any
other basis selected in good faith by the Calculation Agent. The proceeds of
such sale will be distributed by the Trustee on the date of receipt;
provided, however, if the Trustee receives such payment after 10:00 A.M.
(New York City time) on such date, the Underlying Securities Redemption
Distribution Date shall be on the next Business Day, in the following order
of priority: (i) to the Advancing Party, the amount owed to the Advancing
Party from the proceeds of such sale pursuant to Section 7 of the Advancing
Agreement and (ii) to the Certificateholders, pro rata, in accordance with
each Certificateholder's their Certificate Principal Balance. Any payments
made on any Underlying Security with respect to which a Removal Event has
occurred but prior to its sale pursuant to Section 10(d) or Sections 10 (d)
and 10(e) by the applicable Underlying Issuer shall be distributed in the
priority set forth in the previous sentence.
(f) If bids for less than all of the applicable Underlying
Securities or no bids for the applicable Underlying Securities have been
received by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the process described in
Section 10(d) on or prior to the seventh Business Day following the
Calculation Agent's receipt of the applicable Sale Instructions bids for
such Underlying Securities will no longer be solicited until the beginning
of the Second Auction Period. During the Second Auction Period for any
Underlying Securities, such Underlying Securities will be sold and the
proceeds distributed pursuant to the process described in Section 10(d). If
bids are not received for all of the applicable Underlying Securities by the
end of the Second Auction Period, bids for such Underlying Securities will
no longer be solicited until the beginning of the Third Auction Period.
During the Third Auction Period for any Underlying Securities, such
Underlying Securities will be sold and the proceeds distributed pursuant to
the process described in Section 10(d). If bids are not received for all of
the applicable Underlying Securities by the end of the Third Auction Period
and Advances with respect to such Underlying Securities remain outstanding
(after any distributions to the Advancing Agent from the proceeds of any
sale of such Underlying Securities resulting from bids received during the
Third Auction Period), then the Underlying Securities will be deemed to have
no value and will be transferred to the Advancing Party. If bids are not
received for all of the applicable Underlying Securities by the end of the
Third Auction Period and no Advances with respect to such Underlying
Securities remain outstanding (after any distributions to the Advancing
Agent from the proceeds of any sale of such Underlying Securities resulting
from bids received during the Third Auction Period), then such Underlying
Securities will remain in the Trust.
(g) Distributions to the Certificateholders on each
Distribution Date will be made to the Certificateholders of record on the
Record Date with respect to such Distribution Date.
11
(h) All distributions to Certificateholders on a
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the Certificates based
on their respective Certificate Principal Balances as of the beginning of
the related Record Date.
(i) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the
contrary, to the extent funds are available, the Trustee will initiate
payment in immediately available funds by 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on
each Distribution Date of all amounts payable to each Certificateholder with
respect to any Certificate held by such Certificateholder or its nominee
(without the necessity for any presentation or surrender thereof or any
notation of such payment thereon) in the manner and at the address as each
Certificateholder may from time to time direct the Trustee in writing
fifteen (15) days prior to such Distribution Date requesting that such
payment will be so made and designating the bank account to which such
payments shall be so made. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the last
instruction delivered by the Certificateholder pursuant to this Section
10(h) unless a new instruction is delivered fifteen (15) days prior to a
Distribution Date.
(j) Upon receipt by the Trustee of a notice that all or a
portion of an Underlying Security is to be redeemed, the Trustee shall
deliver notice of such redemption to the registered Certificateholders not
less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Underlying Securities Redemption
Distribution Date by mail to each registered Certificateholder at such
registered Certificateholder's last address on the register maintained by
the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to
-------- -------
give any notice of redemption prior to the third Business Day after the date
it receives notice of such redemption. The proceeds of any redemption of
Underlying Securities will be allocated and distributed by the Trustee on
the Underlying Securities Redemption Date in the following order of
priority: first (i) to the Advancing Party, the amount of any outstanding
advances made by the Advancing party to the Trust against any accrued and
unpaid interest with respect to such redeemed Underlying Securities, in each
case as determined by Schedule 1 to the Advancing Agreement and then (ii) to
the Certificateholders pro rata, in accordance with their respective
Certificate Principal Balances. The Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates will be reduced in amount equal to the reduction in the
principal amount of the Underlying Securities caused by a redemption.
(k) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Series Supplement. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the
contrary, to the extent there remains on deposit monies or property in the
Trust after all the accrued and unpaid Monthly Interest Distribution Amounts
and the Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates has been reduced
to zero, such remaining monies or property shall be distributed to the
Certificateholders on a pro rata basis based on the respective Certificate
Principal Balances held on the date the final Monthly Interest Distribution
Amount was made on the Certificates. The Trustee shall in no way be
responsible or liable to the Certificateholders nor shall any
Certificateholder in any way be responsible or liable to any other
Certificateholder in respect of amounts previously distributed on the
Certificates based on their respective Certificate Principal Balances.
(l) If on any Interest Distribution Date, the Advancing
Party makes an advance to the Trust pursuant to the Advancing Agreement, the
Trustee shall immediately deposit such
12
amount in the Distribution Account for distribution in accordance with
Section 10(a) on such Interest Distribution Date.
(m) If the Advancing Party Credit Event occurs, the
Trustee will use reasonable efforts to obtain a successor advancing party,
which may be any of the following Bank of New York, Bank One, SunTrust Bank
and Wachovia Trust Company, N. A. The Trustee will enter into an advancing
agreement with terms similar to the Advancing Agreement, except that the
successor advancing party will also be the successor to JPMSI, as
calculation agent under the Advancing Agreement and the successor party will
be paid annual interest of $60,000. Notwithstanding Section 10(a), if the
Trustee cannot appoint a successor advancing agent within 15 Business Days,
distributions of interest will be paid to Certificateholders in the amounts
and on the dates received by the Trustee.
(n) On each Interest Distribution Date the Trustee shall
Deliver to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx & Co., L.P. the Monthly Trustee's Tax Reporting
Statement, in the form of Exhibit D.
Section 11. Termination of Trust. (a) The Trust shall
---------- --------------------
terminate upon the occurrence of any Trust Termination Event.
(b) Except for any reports and other information required
to be provided to Certificateholders hereunder and under the Base Trust
Agreement and except as otherwise specified herein and therein, the
obligations of the Trustee will terminate upon the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them and the
disposition of all Underlying Securities held by the Trustee. The Trust
shall thereupon terminate, except for surviving rights of indemnity.
Section 12. Limitation of Powers and Duties. (a) The
---------- -------------------------------
Trustee shall administer the Trust and the Underlying Securities solely as
specified herein and in the Base Trust Agreement.
(b) The Trust is constituted solely for the purpose of
acquiring and holding the Underlying Securities. The Trustee is not
authorized to acquire any other investments or engage in any activities not
authorized herein and, in particular, unless expressly provided in the
Agreement, the Trustee is not authorized (i) to sell, assign, transfer,
exchange, pledge, set-off or otherwise dispose of any of the Underlying
Securities, once acquired, or interests therein, including to
Certificateholders, (ii) to merge or consolidate the Trust with any other
entity, or (iii) to do anything that would materially increase the
likelihood that the Trust will fail to qualify as a grantor trust for United
States federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Trustee has no power to
create, assume or incur indebtedness or other liabilities in the name of the
Trust other than as contemplated herein and in the Base Trust Agreement.
(c) The parties acknowledge that the Trustee, as the
holder of the Underlying Securities, has the right to vote and give consents
and waivers in respect of such Underlying Securities as permitted by the
Depositary and except as otherwise limited by the Base Trust Agreement or
this Series Supplement. In the event that the Trustee receives a request
from the Depositary or an Underlying Securities Issuer for the Trustee's
consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of the applicable
Underlying Securities, or any document thereunder or
13
relating to such Underlying Securities, or receives any other solicitation
for any action with respect to any Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall
mail within two (2) Business Days 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 and shall be protected in
taking no action if no direction is received. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or
voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative Certificate Principal
Balances) as the Certificates of the Trust were actually voted or not voted
by the Holders thereof as of the date determined by the Trustee prior to the
date such vote or consent is required; provided, however, that,
-------- -------
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Trust Agreement or this
Series Supplement, the Trustee shall at no time vote or consent to any
matter which would alter the timing or amount of any then scheduled payment
on the Underlying Securities, including, without limitation, any demand to
accelerate the Underlying Securities, or which would result in the exchange
or substitution of any of the outstanding Underlying Securities whether or
not pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of such Underlying
Securities, except with the consent of the Certificateholders representing
100% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates and subject to the
requirement that such vote or consent would not, based on an opinion of
counsel, materially increase the risk that the Trust would fail to qualify
as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. The Trustee shall have
no liability for any failure to act resulting from the Certificateholders'
late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee
from the Certificateholders.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the
contrary, the Trustee may require from the Certificateholders prior to
taking any action at the direction of the Certificateholders, an indemnity
agreement of a Certificateholder or any of its Affiliates to provide for
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities the
Trustee may incur by reason of any such action. An unsecured indemnity
agreement, if acceptable to the Trustee, shall be deemed to be sufficient to
satisfy such security or indemnity requirement.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the
contrary, the Trustee shall act as the sole Authenticating Agent, Paying
Agent and Registrar.
Section 13. Payment of Additional Expenses of Trustee. The
---------- -----------------------------------------
Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Trustor reimbursement for all
(a) reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it
(including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of its
counsel and other persons not regularly in its employ) and (b) up to $25,000
of non reoccurring extraordinary expenses incurred by the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust in any one calendar year and any excess shall be reimbursed to
the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account. The Trustor
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its successors, assigns,
agents and servants against any and all loss, liability or reasonable
expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection with or as
a result of the execution of the Agreement or any related document
(including, but not limited to, the Advancing Agreement), the administration
of this trust or the performance of its duties thereunder. The Trustee shall
notify the Trustor promptly of any claim for which they may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Trustor shall not relieve the
Trustor of its obligations hereunder. The Trustor need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense
14
incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith. The indemnities contained in this Section 13 shall
survive the resignation or termination of the Trustee or the termination of
this Agreement.
Failure by the Trustor to pay, reimburse or indemnify the
Trustee shall not entitle the Trustee to any payment, reimbursement or
indemnification from the Trust, nor shall such failure release either the
Trustee from the duties it is required to perform under this Series
Supplement. Any unpaid, unreimbursed or unindemnified amounts shall not be
borne by the Trust and shall not constitute a claim against the Trust, but
shall be borne by each of the Trustee in its individual capacity, and the
Trustee shall have no recourse against the Trust with respect thereto.
Section 14. Modification or Amendment. The Trustee shall
---------- -------------------------
not enter into any modification or amendment of the Base Trust Agreement or
this Series Supplement unless such modification or amendment is in
accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Trust Agreement. Pursuant to
Section 5 of this Series Supplement, the Trustor may sell to the Trustee
additional Underlying Securities from time to time without violation or
trigger of this Section 14.
Section 15. Accounting. Notwithstanding Section 3.16 of
---------- ----------
the Base Trust Agreement, no such accounting reports shall be required.
Section 16. No Investment of Amounts Received on
---------- ------------------------------------
Underlying Securities. All amounts received on or with respect to the
---------------------
Underlying Securities shall be held uninvested by the Trustee.
Section 17. No Event of Default. There shall be no Events
---------- -------------------
of Default defined with respect to the Certificates.
Section 18. Notices. (a) All directions, demands and
---------- -------
notices hereunder and under the Base Trust Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when received if personally

delivery service or by certified mail, return receipt requested or delivered

Attention: Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx or such other address as may be furnished to
the Trustee in writing by the Calculation Agent.
(b) For purposes of delivering notices to the Rating
Agency under Section 10.07 of the Base Trust Agreement, Notice to Rating
----------------
Agency, or otherwise, such notices shall be mailed or delivered as provided
------
in such Section 10.07, Notice to Rating Agency, to: Standard & Poor's
-----------------------
Ratings Services, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000; or such other
address as the Rating Agency may designate in writing to the parties hereto.
15
(c) In the event a Payment Default or an Acceleration
occurs, the Trustee shall promptly give notice to the Depositary or, for any
Certificates which are not then held by the Depositary or any other trust,
directly to the registered holders of the Certificates thereof. Such notice
shall set forth (i) the identity of the issue of Underlying Securities, (ii)
the date and nature of such Payment Default or Acceleration, (iii) the
amount of the interest or principal in default relating to the Underlying
Securities, (iv) the Certificates affected by the Payment Default or
Acceleration, and (v) any other information which the Trustee may deem
appropriate.
(d) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Agreement to the
contrary, the Trustee shall deliver all notices or reports required to be
delivered to or by the Trustee or the Trustor to the Certificateholders
without charge to such Certificateholders.
Section 19. Access to Certain Documentation. Access to
---------- -------------------------------
documentation regarding the Underlying Securities will be afforded without
charge to any Certificateholder so requesting pursuant to Section 3.17 of
the Base Trust Agreement. Additionally, the Trustee shall provide at the
request of any Certificateholder without charge to such Certificateholder
the name and address of each Certificateholder as recorded in the
Certificate Register for purposes of contacting the other Certificateholders
with respect to their rights hereunder or for the purposes of effecting
purchases or sales of the Certificates, subject to the transfer restrictions
set forth herein.
Section 20. Advances. There is no Administrative Agent
---------- --------
specified herein; hence no person (including the Trustee) shall be permitted
or obligated to make Advances as described in Section 4.3 of the Base Trust
Agreement, except the Advancing Party as provided in the Advancing
Agreement.
Section 21. Ratification of Agreement. With respect to the
---------- -------------------------
Series issued hereby, the Base Trust Agreement, as supplemented by this
Series Supplement, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Base
Trust Agreement as so supplemented by this Series Supplement shall be read,
taken and construed as one and the same instrument. To the extent there is
any inconsistency between the terms of the Base Trust Agreement and this
Series Supplement, the terms of this Series Supplement shall govern.
Section 22. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be
---------- ------------
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 23. Governing Law. This Series Supplement and each
---------- -------------
Certificate issued hereunder shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements
made and to be performed entirely therein without reference to such State's
principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the
laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby, and the obligations,
rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.
Section 24. Certificate of Compliance. The Trustor shall
---------- -------------------------
deliver to the Trustee on or prior to March 15 of each year prior to a Trust
Termination Event the Officer's Certificate as to compliance as required by
Section 6.1(b) of the Base Trust Agreement.
