represents a Call Option and a Call Right
to purchase $1,000 of Unit Principal
Balance of the Class A Units and the
Initial Notional Amortizing Balance of the
Class B Units corresponding to the
Applicable Class B Equivalent Amount.
Applicable Class B Equivalent
Amount: With respect to each call, redemption,

Any Unitholder who receives notice that its
Units are being called or redeemed shall
tender the applicable Units to the Trustee
in accordance with such notice. Any Units
subject to call or redemption shall be
automatically canceled, and in the case of
a call, shall be automatically re-issued to
the applicable Warrantholder without
further action by the applicable
Unitholder, Warrantholder, Trustee or any
other person or entity on the date of
redemption or the Call Date, as applicable.
Any failure to so tender any Unit shall
have no force or effect.
Upon exercise of Warrants, the Call Options
and Call Rights represented by such
Warrants shall be automatically canceled.
The certificate representing such Warrants
shall be deemed to represent the
corresponding Class A Units and Class B
Units called by the exercise thereof. The
Trustee shall distribute the Trust Property

(ii) a transfer to a transferee who will
own, after giving effect to simultaneous
transfers, at least $250,000 Initial
Notional Amortizing Balance of Class B
Units or (iii) in connection with a
transfer of Warrants if the Initial
Notional Amortizing Balance of Class B
Units transferred to the Warrantholder
corresponds to the Applicable Class B
Equivalent Amount.
The Minimum Denominations shall not prevent
transfers of fractional Units if such
fractional Units arise due to exercises of
the Warrants, redemptions of the Underlying
Securities or otherwise by operation of
this Trust Agreement. The Depositor may
waive the Minimum Denomination at any time
in its discretion.
Cut-off Date: Closing Date
Closing Date: November 25, 0000

Business Day: New York, New York and Chicago, Illinois
Interest Rate and Class B Payments: The right of the Class A Units to accrued
interest is pari passu with the right of
the Class B Units to accrued Class B
Payments from accrued interest on the
Underlying Securities.
Class A Units:
The interest rate on the Class A Units is
7.125% per annum on the basis of a 360 day
year consisting of twelve 30 day months and
is expected to occur on May 15, 2004. This
is currently set to correspond to the
current interest rate of 8.75% on the
Underlying Securities.
Any net change in the ratings of the
Underlying Securities at any time will
result in adjustment of the interest rate
on the Class A Units for the next interest
period. The interest rate payable on the
Class A Units will be increased by 0.20%
for each net rating notch downgrade of the
Underlying Securities by either Xxxxx'x or
S&P and decreased by 0.20% for each net
rating notch upgrade of the Underlying
Securities by either Xxxxx'x or S&P, but in
no event will the interest rate be reduced
below 6.525%. Any such interest rate
increase or decrease will take effect for
the period beginning immediately after the
Distribution Date following the related net
rating downgrade or upgrade. There is no
limit to the number of times the interest
rate payable on the Class A Units can be
adjusted. Interest will accrue on the Class
A Units on the basis of a 360 day year
consisting of twelve 30 day months or a
30/360 basis.
Class B Payments:
On May 15, 2004, $46.86 ($225,014 / 4,802
Class B Units) is expected to be paid on
each Class B Unit and thereafter $49.61
($238,250 / 4,802 Class B Units) is
expected to be paid on each Class B Unit on
each Distribution Date thereafter, in each
case from interest received on the
Underlying Securities.
Any net change in the ratings of the
Underlying Securities at any time will
result in adjustment of the payment due on
the Class B Units for the next Distribution
Date period. The payment due on each
Distribution Date after May 15, 2004 will
be increased by $1.56 ($7,500 / 4,802 Class
B Units) for each net rating notch
downgrade by either Xxxxx'x of S&P and
decreased by $1.56 ($7,500 / 4,802 Class B
Units) for each net rating notch upgrade by
Xxxxx'x or S&P, but in no event will the
payment due be reduced below $44.93
($215,750 / 4,802 Class B Units) for each
Distribution Date. Any such interest rate
increase or decrease will take effect for
the period beginning immediately after the
Distribution Date following the related net
rating downgrade or upgrade. There is no
limit to the number of times the payment on
the Class B Units can be adjusted. Any such
payment increase or decrease will effect
the payment expected to be paid on each
Class B Unit on each Distribution Date
described above.
Interest Reset Period: Not Applicable
Rating: Class A Units:
Baa2 by Xxxxx'x
BBB by S&P
Class B Units:
Baa2 by Xxxxx'x
BBB by S&P
Rating Agencies: Xxxxx'x and S&P
Scheduled Final Distribution Date: November 15, 2031. The Units will have the
same final maturity as the Underlying
Securities.
Prepayment, Redemption and Call: The Trust Property is subject to redemption
in accordance with the terms of the
Underlying Securities and as described in
Schedule II. Any such redemption will cause
a redemption of a corresponding portion of
the Class A Units and the Class B Units.
The Class A Units and the Class B Units are
subject to call in accordance with the
Warrant Terms.
If the Warrants are partially exercised or
if there is a partial redemption of the
Underlying Securities, the Trustee will
randomly select Class A Units to be
redeemed in full from the proceeds of such
partial redemption or called in full from
the proceeds of such partial exercise. The
Trustee will also select for call or
redemption an Initial Notional Amortizing
Balance of Class B Units corresponding to
the Applicable Class B Equivalent Amount,
(i) first, from Class B Units held by any
Warrantholder who has exercised its
Warrants (provided that the Warrantholder
as holder of such Class B Units can tender
delivery of such Class B Units to the
Trustee and identify such Class B Units to
the satisfaction of the Trustee as owned by
such Warrantholder), and (ii) then, from
other Class B Units by random selection.
Additional Distribution: Class A Units:
If a Warrantholder exercises Warrants in
connection with a tender offer for
settlement prior to the First Regular Call
Date, each Class A Unit called in
connection with such exercise shall
receive, in addition to principal and
accrued interest, $1.50 per Class A Unit
from the proceeds of the Warrant exercise.
Class B Payments:
If a Warrantholder exercises Warrants, then
the Class B Units designated to be called
in connection with such exercise shall
receive the corresponding portion of the
Class B Present Value Amount, adjusted for
accrued Class B Payments on the Class B
Units otherwise paid.
If the Underlying Security Issuer redeems
Underlying Securities and the previous
paragraph does not apply, then the Class B
Units designated for a redemption in
connection with such redemption of
Underlying Securities shall receive the
amount with respect to the Class B Present
Value Amount allocated for distribution in
accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Distribution Priorities below, paid
as of the date of such redemption as an
additional distribution.
Class B Present Value Amount: With respect to a date, an amount equal to
the present value of the Future Class B
Unit Payments for such date in respect of
the Applicable Class B Equivalent Amount,
discounted at a rate of the interest rate
payable on the Underlying Securities at
such date on the basis of a 360 day year
consisting of twelve 30 day months.
Future Class B Unit Payments: With respect to any date, the Class B
Payments on the Applicable Class B
Equivalent Amount, other than Class B
Payments paid prior to such date, that
would have been payable in the amount and
at the times otherwise specified hereunder
through and including the Scheduled Final
Distribution Date without regard to any

Depositor Optional Exchange: Depositor Optional Exchange applies to this
Series of Units.
Section 5.12(c)(ii) of the Standard Terms
shall be incorporated herein by replacing
5.12 (c)(ii) with the following: "(ii) such
exchange is to be effected on any
Distribution Date or any date that is 90
days before or after a Distribution Date
(or the succeeding Business Day if such
date is not a Business Day) with 45 days'
notice".
Pursuant to 5.12(c)(iii), a corresponding
portion of the Warrants must consent to
such an exchange. The Depositor may satisfy
the consent requirement of the preceding
sentence by tendering a corresponding
portion of Warrants or by delivering
consents from a corresponding portion of
Warrants (including Warrants it owns) or
any combination thereof. Pursuant to
5.12(c)(iii), the Expense Administrator
must consent to such an exchange.
Section 5.12(c)(iv) of the Standard Terms
shall be incorporated herein by adding the
following to Section 5.12(c): "(iv) the
Depositor determines that more than 100
holders of the Class A Units and 100
holders of the Class B Units independent of
the Trust and each other will remain after
such exchange; unless the Depositor
determines that such an exchange is
otherwise consistent with the restrictions
under ERISA and Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986."
Optional Exchange
Under Warrants: A Call Notice under Schedule III shall also
constitute a notice of and a demand to
exchange each of the Units acquired
pursuant to the related exercise for a
corresponding portion of Trust Property
pursuant to Section 5.12(d) of the Standard
Terms. Such notice and demand may only be
revoked or rescinded to the extent that the
related exercise is revoked or rescinded
and the settlement of the Optional Exchange
shall be the Exercise Date.
Trust Property distributable to a
Warrantholder who has acquired Units by
exercise in connection with a tender offer
or redemption as addressed in Section
1.1(i) of Schedule III, shall be the Trust
Property specified in Section 1.1(i) of
Schedule III payable in the manner
specified in the Distribution Priority.
Terms of Retained Interest: Notwithstanding any other provision herein
or in the Standard Terms, the Depositor
retains the right to receive any and all
interest that accrues on the Underlying
Securities prior to the Closing Date. The
Depositor will receive such accrued
interest on the first Distribution Date (or
redemption date or Call Date if earlier)
for the Units and such amount shall be paid
from the interest payment made with respect
to the Underlying Securities on the first
Distribution Date.
The amount of the Retained Interest is
$72,611.
If an Underlying Security Default occurs on
or prior to the first Distribution Date and
the Depositor does not receive such
Retained Interest amount in connection with
such Distribution Date, the Depositor will
have a claim for such Retained Interest,
and will share pro rata with holders of the
Units to the extent of such claim in the
proceeds from the recovery on the
Underlying Securities.
Sale of Underlying Securities: In connection with any sale of the
Underlying Securities by the Selling Agent
pursuant to the terms hereof, if a
Warrantholder is not an affiliate of the
Selling Agent, the Selling Agent will
extend a right of first refusal to each
such Warrantholder to purchase the
Underlying Securities at the highest bid
received by the Selling Agent.
If more than one Warrantholder exercises
such right of first refusal, Underlying
Securities will be sold to each exercising
Warrantholder in proportion to the number
of Warrants held by such Warrantholder;
provided, that if only one Warrantholder
exercises such right of first refusal, such
Warrantholder shall be entitled to purchase
any or all of the Underlying Securities to
be sold by the Selling Agent.
Selling Agent: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated.
Rating Agency Condition: The definition of Rating Agencies Condition
in the Standard Terms shall not apply and
the following shall apply instead:
"Rating Agency Condition": With respect to
any specified action or determination,
means receipt of (i) written confirmation
by Xxxxx'x (if the Units are rated by
Xxxxx'x, for so long as the Units are
outstanding and rated by Xxxxx'x) and (ii)
written confirmation by S&P (if the Units
are rated by S&P, for so long as the Units
are outstanding and rated by S&P), that
such specified action or determination will
not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of their then-current ratings on the Units.
Such confirmation may relate either to a
specified transaction or may be a
confirmation with respect to any future
transactions which comply with generally
applicable conditions published by the
applicable rating agency.
Voting: With respect to any voting or other rights
of any Unitholder or Class of Units based
on the Unit Principal Balance or
denomination of the applicable Units, each
Class B Unitholder shall be treated as
holding Units with a Unit Principal Balance
or denomination equal to the Class B
Present Value Amount of the Class B Units
held by such Class B Unitholder as of the
applicable Record Date or date of
determination.
Unit Principal Balance: Except with respect to the "Voting"
provision above, when the Unit Principal
Balance is used with respect to the Class B
Units, it shall be deemed to mean "Initial
Notional Amortizing Balance".
Amendments: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Standard Terms, amendments to the
Warrants and to Schedule III hereof shall
be governed by Section 7.02 of the Standard
Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the
terms of the Warrant and Schedule III may
not be amended without consent of all
Warrantholders.
Additional Terms: Section 12.10 of the Standard Terms shall
apply as modified below to include the
Warrantholders:
"Prior to the date that is one year and one
day after all distributions in respect of
the Units have been made, none of the
Trustee, the Trust, the Depositor or the
Warrantholders shall take any action,
institute any proceeding, join in any
action or proceeding or otherwise cause any
action or proceeding against any of the
others under the United States Bankruptcy
Code or any other liquidations, insolvency,
bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization or
similar law ("Insolvency Law") applicable
to any of them, now or hereafter in effect,
or which would be reasonably likely to
cause any of the others to be subject to,
or seek the protection of, any such
Insolvency Law."

Schedule III
ADDITIONAL WARRANT TERMS
ARTICLE I
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
Section 1.1 Principal Terms.
(a) Call Price.
The Call Price per Warrant is the sum of (i)(a) $1,000 (corresponding
to 40 $25.00 Class A Units) or (b) if such exercise is in connection with a
tender offer for Underlying Securities held by the Trust for settlement prior to
the First Regular Call Date, $1,060 ($26.50 per Class A Unit), (ii) the
applicable Class B Present Value Amount (which will be adjusted for any accrued
Class B Payments on the Class B Units payable under (iii)), (iii) accrued and
unpaid interest on the applicable Class A Units and accrued and unpaid Class B
Payments on the applicable Class B Units being called and (iv) the applicable
Expense Administrator Make-Whole Amount.
(b) Call Dates.
A Warrantholder may designate as a Call Date (i) any Business Day from
and including 9:00 a.m. New York time on the First Regular Call Date, to and
including 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Expiration Date and (ii) any Business
Day prior to the First Regular Call Date as a Call Date, but only if notice of
redemption or tender offer has been delivered by the Underlying Security Issuer
with regard to the Underlying Securities held by the Trust.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, a Warrantholder shall
give notice of its intention to exercise Warrants and related designation of a
Call Date on not less than 15 or more than 60-calendar days' notice. If the
Underlying Security Issuer has given notice of redemption with respect to the
Underlying Securities or if a tender offer is outstanding for the Underlying
Securities, a Warrantholder may give notice of its intention to exercise
Warrants and related designation of a Call Date with two Business Days notice
prior to the Call Date but no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the
second Business Day immediately preceding the then-scheduled settlement of the
tender offer or redemption.
(c) Expiration Date. The Scheduled Final Distribution Date.
(d) First Regular Call Date. November 25, 2008.
(e) Corresponding Underlying Security Amount. The product of (x) the
applicable number of Warrants, (y) $1,000 and (z) the Security Factor.
(f) Security Factor. The aggregate principal amount of Underlying
Securities initially held by the Trust divided by the Initial Unit Principal
Balance of the Class A Units.
(g) Call Notice.
Each exercising Warrantholder shall deliver a notice in the form of
Exhibit B to the Trustee and the Warrant Agent, including the certification of
solvency specified therein, prior to the Call Date. Each such Call Notice must
specify exercise of either (i) all Warrants the notifying Warrantholder owns or
(ii) Warrants sufficient to call at least 250 Warrants.
A Call Notice also constitutes a notice of exchange of the Class A
Units and the Class B Units to be obtained by a Warrantholder as a result of
such exercise for Trust Property pursuant to Section 5.12(d) of the Standard
Terms.
(h) Automatic Rescission of Exercise.
Delivery of a Call Notice does not give rise to an obligation on the
part of the Warrantholder to pay the Call Price. With respect to each Warrant
exercised, if by 4 p.m. New York time on the Business Day prior to the Call Date
the applicable Warrantholder has not paid the applicable Call Price for a
Warrant to the Warrant Agent, except to the extent the Call Notice relates to a
tender offer or redemption of Underlying Securities addressed in Section 1.1(i)
below, then the exercise of the applicable Warrant shall be automatically
rescinded, the applicable Warrant shall be reinstated, no Call Date with respect
thereto shall be deemed to have occurred and no Call Notice deemed given, and
the applicable Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise such reinstated
Warrants in the future.
(i) Tender Offer and Redemption.
Each Warrantholder shall specify in its Call Notice if its exercise is
in connection with a redemption or tender offer if the specified Call Date will
occur on or after the First Regular Call Date. Any Warrantholder giving a Call
Notice with respect to a Call Date prior to the First Regular Call Date shall be
deemed to specify that it is exercising its Warrants in connection with a tender
offer or redemption.
A Warrantholder specifying or deemed to specify that it is exercising
its Warrants in connection with a tender offer for or a redemption of the
Underlying Securities shall be deemed to instruct the Trustee to tender the
applicable Corresponding Underlying Security Amount in connection with such
redemption or tender offer.
To the extent Underlying Securities corresponding to such a deemed
instruction to tender are not accepted by the tender offeror or Underlying
Security Issuer and paid for in accordance with the terms of the tender offer or
redemption, a corresponding number of Warrants shall be reinstated, with
exercise thereof rescinded, no Call Date with respect thereto shall be deemed to
have occurred and no Call Notice deemed given, with the number of such
reinstated Warrants to be allocated among the Warrantholders specifying or
deemed to specify exercise in connection with such tender offer or redemption in
proportion to the number of Warrants initially so exercised by each, and each
such Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise such reinstated Warrants in the
future. The Warrant Agent shall determine such allocation by notice to the
applicable Warrantholders.
A Warrantholder specifying or deemed to specify that it is exercising
its Warrants in connection with a tender offer for or a redemption of the
Underlying Securities, to the extent such exercise is not rescinded, shall be
entitled to Trust Property in an amount equal to the proceeds of the tender
offer or redemption allocable to the applicable Corresponding Underlying
Security Amount in excess of the aggregate Call Price for the applicable number
of Warrants.
If the Warrant Agent receives a Call Notice or Call Notices with
respect to Warrants with an aggregate Corresponding Underlying Security Amount
that is less than the aggregate principal amount of Underlying Securities held
by the Trust subject to redemption, the Warrant Agent shall determine by notice
to the applicable Warrantholders which Warrants are to be terminated in
connection with such redemption by allocating the termination of Warrants pro
rata among remaining Warrantholders (including exercising Warrantholders holding
unexercised Warrants) in proportion to their holdings of unexercised Warrants.
Warrants so terminated shall be entitled to the applicable Warrant Termination
Payment.
If the Warrant Agent receives no Call Notices with respect to a
redemption of Underlying Securities, a number of Warrants equal to the aggregate
principal amount of Underlying Securities held by the Trust that are redeemed
divided by the product of (x) the Security Factor and (y) $1,000, shall be
terminated. The Warrant Agent shall determine by notice to the applicable
Warrantholders which Warrants are to be terminated by allocating such
termination among Warrantholders in proportion to the number of Warrants held by
each. Warrants so terminated shall be entitled to the applicable Warrant
Termination Payment.
Whenever the Warrant Agent is obligated to allocate the termination of
Warrants pro rata, and this allocation would result in some Warrants being
partially terminated, the Warrant Agent shall randomly re-allocate terminations
to the extent necessary to ensure that only whole Warrants are terminated or
such that only one Warrant is partially terminated.
(j) Payment of Call Price.
Except with respect to Warrants exercised or deemed exercised in
connection with a redemption of or tender offer for the Underlying Securities,
each exercising Warrantholder shall deposit the applicable Call Price for all
Warrants exercised by it with the Warrant Agent no later than the Business Day
prior to settlement of exercise.
The Warrant Agent shall notify the Trustee immediately upon its receipt
of payment of the applicable 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 Unit Account and application pursuant to the other terms of this
Trust Agreement no later than 4 p.m. New York time on the Business Day preceding
the Call Date and, pending such transfer, shall hold such amount for the benefit
of the Warrantholder in a segregated trust account.
(k) Appointment of Warrant Agent.
The Depositor hereby appoints the Warrant Agent as agent to (i) receive
for the benefit of the Warrantholders pending payment to the Trust in connection
with exercise of the Warrants from time to time, the Call Price amounts paid to
the Warrant Agent, (ii) receive for the benefit of the Warrantholders, in
connection with exercise of the Warrants from time to time, the Units deemed
tendered to the Trust pursuant to Section 1.2, and the Trust Property received
pursuant to the related Optional Exchange pending delivery thereof to the
relevant Warrantholders and (iii) otherwise act on behalf of and for the benefit
of the Trust, the Unitholders and the Warrantholders for purposes of this
Agreement, and the Warrant Agent accepts such appointment for itself and its
successors and assigns, subject to the terms and provisions hereof.
Section 1.2 Delivery of Units. As soon as practicable after each
surrender of Warrants in whole or in part on the Call Date and upon satisfaction
of all other requirements described in the Warrants and in Section 1.1 hereof,
the Warrant Agent shall instruct the Trustee to confirm that the transfer
specified under the "Callable Series" provisions of Schedule I has occurred and
to cause a distribution of Trust Property to the Warrantholder as an Optional
Exchange taking into account Section 1.1(i) above, if applicable. A surrender of
the Warrants shall be deemed to be a simultaneous surrender of the Class A Units
and Class B Units acquired in exchange therefor.
If such exercise is in part only, the Warrant Agent shall instruct the
Trustee to authenticate new Warrants of like tenor, representing the outstanding
Warrants of the Warrantholder and the Warrant Agent shall deliver such Warrants
to the Warrantholder.
In each case, the Trustee shall act in accordance with such
instructions.
Section 1.3 Cancellation and Destruction of Warrants. All 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 Warrant (other than that reflecting any such transfer or exchange)
shall be issued in lieu thereof. The Warrant Agent shall destroy all cancelled
Warrants.
Section 1.4 No Rights as Holder of Units Conferred by Warrants. Each
Warrantholder agrees that the Warrants do not represent an ownership interest in
the Trust or its assets and that none of them shall treat the Warrants as an
ownership interest in the Trust for any purpose.
ARTICLE II
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
Section 2.1 Restrictive Legends. Each Warrant (including each Warrant
issued upon the transfer of any Warrant) shall be issued with a legend in
substantially the form contained in Exhibit A hereto.
Section 2.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any transfer of any
Warrant or portion thereof, the Warrantholder will give 5 Business Days (or such
lesser period acceptable to the Warrant Agent) prior written notice to the
Warrant Agent and the Depositor of such Warrantholder's intention to effect such
transfer.
ARTICLE III
REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANTS, ETC.
Section 3.1 Warrant Register; Ownership of Warrants. The Warrant Agent
will keep a register in which the Warrant Agent will provide for the
registration of Warrants and the registration of transfers of Warrants
representing numbers of Warrants. The Trustee and the Warrant Agent may treat
the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered on such register as the owner
thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee and the Warrant Agent shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary. The Warrant Agent shall make such
adjustments to its records and the register as shall be necessary to reflect
terminations and exercise of Warrants.
Section 3.2 Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. (a) No Warrant may be
offered, resold, assigned or otherwise transferred (including by pledge or
hypothecation) at any time except in accordance with this Section 3.2.
(1) Any purchaser or transferee of the Warrants shall represent that it
is (A) a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act that (1) is not a broker-dealer that owns and invests on a
discretionary basis less than $25 million in securities of issuers that are not
affiliated persons of the dealer and (2) is not a plan referred to in paragraph
(a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A or a trust fund referred to in
paragraph (a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the assets of such a plan, if
investment decisions with respect to the plan are made by the beneficiaries of
the plan, (B) aware that the sale or transfer of the Warrants to it may be made
to it in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under
the Securities Act and (C) acquiring the Warrants for its own account or for one
or more accounts, each of which is a qualified institutional buyer, and as to
each of which the purchaser or transferee exercises sole investment discretion,
and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state
of the United States and other jurisdictions.
(2) Warrants may not be purchased, held by or transferred to any Person
unless that Person is not a Plan, is not a governmental or other plan subject to
restrictions substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code, and is not acquiring the Warrants with the assets of any such Plan or
other plan. Each Person who acquires any Warrant, and each fiduciary which
causes any such Person to acquire any Warrant, in its individual as well as its
fiduciary capacity, will be deemed by such purchase, holding or acquisition, on
each date on which the Warrant is held by such person, to have represented that
it is not a Plan or any governmental or other plan subject to requirements
substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and is not
using the assets of any such Plan to purchase those Warrants. Each Person that
acquires a Warrant, and each fiduciary who causes a person to acquire a Warrant,
in its individual as well as its fiduciary capacity, agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, the Warrant Agent, MS&Co., each
Distribution Participant and their respective affiliates from any cost, damages,
loss or expense, incurred by them as a result of the representations contained
in this Section 3.2(a)(2) not being true.
(b) Upon surrender of any Warrant for registration of transfer or for
exchange to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall (subject to compliance
with Section 3.2(a)) promptly execute and deliver, and cause the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver, in exchange therefor, a new Warrant
of like tenor and evidencing a like number of Warrants, in the name of such
Warrantholder or as such Warrantholder (upon payment by such Warrantholder of
any applicable transfer taxes or government charges) may direct; provided that
as a condition precedent for transferring the Warrants, the prospective
transferee shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an executed copy of
the Transfer Letter in the form of Exhibit C hereto.
(c) Any purported transfer of the Warrants (or any interest therein) in
violation of Section 3.2(a)(1) or Section 3.2(a)(2) hereof shall be void ab
initio and the purported transferee in such transfer shall not be recognized by
any Person as a holder of such Warrants for any purpose. The Depositor and the
Trustee shall each have the power to sell the Warrants (or any interest therein)
of a purported Warrantholder (or owner of any interest therein) who acquired its
interest in violation of Section 3.2(a)(1) or Section 3.2(a)(2) or who continues
to hold Warrants in violation of Section 3.2(a)(2).
Section 3.3 Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of any Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity bond in such
reasonable amount as the Warrant Agent may determine, or, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon the surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the
Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, and cause the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Section 3.4 Execution and Delivery of Warrants by Trustee;
Authentication.
The Trustee agrees and acknowledges that it will, concurrently with the
receipt by it of the Underlying Securities and the execution, authentication and
delivery of Units, cause to be executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon
the order of the Depositor, Warrants duly executed and authenticated by or on
behalf of the Trustee.
The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, hereby agrees (subject to
compliance with Article II) to execute and deliver such new Warrants issued in
accordance with Section 1.2 or this Article III as the Warrant Agent shall
request in accordance herewith.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Warrant at the
office or agency of the Trustee, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the
Uniform Commercial Code are met to the Trustee's satisfaction, and subject to
the transfer restrictions set forth in this Schedule III, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Warrants. All transfers of Warrants are subject to
the approval of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not register any transfer of
Warrants if such transfer would violate any provision of the Trust Agreement.
Section 3.5 Federal Income Tax Matters. Each Warrantholder agrees to
treat each Warrant as a call option for federal income tax purposes.
ARTICLE IV
WARRANT AGENT
Section 4.1 Limitation on Liability. The Warrant Agent shall be
protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of the Warrants
in reliance upon any instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney,
endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate,
statement or other paper or document in good faith believed by it to be genuine
and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified and acknowledged, by
the proper Person or Persons. The Warrant Agent and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Warrant Agent shall be indemnified by the Depositor to
the same extent that the Trustee is indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to
Section 10.05(b) of the Standard Terms.
Section 4.2 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
Warrantholder shall be bound:

counsel for the Depositor), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent as to any action
taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion,
provided the Warrant Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection
by it of such counsel.
(b) Whenever in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Warrant
Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or
established by the Depositor or the Trustee prior to taking or suffering any
action hereunder, such fact or matter may be deemed to be conclusively proved
and established by a Depositor Order or a certificate signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such certificate
shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by it hereunder in reliance upon such certificate.
(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 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 Warrants; nor shall it by any act thereunder be deemed to make
any representation or warranty as to the Units 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 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.
(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.
(i) The Warrant Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Trust, the
Unitholders and the Warrantholders hereunder as respectively set forth herein.
The Warrant Agent shall not be liable except for the failure to perform such
duties as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into the Warrants against the Warrant Agent, whose
duties shall be determined solely by the express provisions thereof. The Warrant
Agent shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary.
(j) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure on the
part of the Trustee to comply with any of its covenants and obligations
contained herein.
(k) The Warrant Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties
hereunder and shall not be under any obligation or duty to institute, appear in
or defend any action, suit or legal proceeding in respect hereof, in each case
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 Warrants.
(l) The Trustee will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause
to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts,
instruments and assurances as may be required by the Warrant Agent in order to
enable it to carry out or perform its duties hereunder.
Section 4.3 Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and
be discharged from its duties hereunder upon thirty (30) days' notice in writing
mailed to the Depositor and the Trustee by registered or certified mail, and to
the Warrantholders by first-class mail at the expense of the Depositor; provided
that no such resignation or discharge shall become effective until a successor
Warrant Agent shall have been appointed hereunder. The Depositor may 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 Warrantholders by first-class mail; provided further that no such
removal shall become effective until a successor Warrant Agent shall have been
appointed hereunder. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall
otherwise become incapable of acting, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a
successor to the Warrant Agent, which may be designated as an interim Warrant
Agent. If an interim Warrant Agent is 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
Warrantholder, then the Warrant Agent or registered Warrantholder may apply to
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such a successor.
Any successor to the Warrant Agent appointed hereunder must be rated in
one of the four highest rating categories by the Rating Agencies. Any entity
which may be merged or consolidated with or which shall otherwise succeed to
substantially all of the trust or agency business of the Warrant Agent shall be
deemed to be the successor Warrant Agent without any further action.

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

Re: Structured Asset Trust Unit Repackagings ("SATURNS"), Series 2003-17
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with its proposed purchase of Warrants (the "Warrants")
which represent the right to call $______________ aggregate Unit Principal
Balance of SATURNS 2003-17 AT&T Corp. Debenture-Backed Class A Units and the
Applicable Class B Equivalent Amount of SATURNS 2003-17 AT&T Corp.
Debenture-Backed Class B Units, the undersigned transferee (the "Transferee")
confirms that:
1. The Transferee understands that substantial risks are involved in an
investment in the Warrants. The Transferee represents that in making its
investment decision to acquire the Warrants, the Transferee has not relied on
representations, warranties, opinions, projections, financial or other
information or analysis, if any, supplied to it by any person, including MS&Co.,
MS Structured Asset Corp., as depositor (the "Depositor"), or LaSalle Bank
National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), or any of your or their
affiliates, except as expressly contained in written information, if any. The
Transferee 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
Warrants, and the Transferee is able to bear the substantial economic risks of
such an investment. The Transferee has relied upon its own tax, legal and
financial advisors in connection with its decision to purchase the Warrants.
2. Such Transferee (A) is a "qualified institutional buyer" (as defined
in Rule 144A of the Securities Act) that (1) is not a broker-dealer that owns
and invests on a discretionary basis less than $25 million in securities of
issuers that are not affiliated persons of the dealer and (2) is not a plan
referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A or a trust
fund referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the assets of
such a plan, if investment decisions with respect to the plan are made by the
beneficiaries of the plan, (B) is aware that the sale or transfer of the
Warrants to it may be made to it in reliance on the exemption from registration
provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (C) is acquiring the Warrants
for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is a qualified
institutional buyer, and as to each of which the Transferee exercises sole
investment discretion, and in each case in accordance with any applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States and other jurisdictions.
3. The Transferee understands that the Warrants 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 the Trust Agreement relating to the Warrants and (ii) it will, and
each subsequent holder will be required to, notify any purchaser of any Warrant
from it of the resale restrictions in the Trust Agreement.
4. The Transferee understands that each of the Warrants will bear a
legend substantially to the following effect, unless otherwise agreed by the
Depositor and the Trustee:
EACH PURCHASER OR OTHER TRANSFEREE OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY
INTEREST HEREIN OF THIS WARRANT, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IS DEEMED TO
REPRESENT AND WARRANT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE TRUSTEE AND THE DEPOSITOR OF THE
TRUST, AND EACH DISTRIBUTION PARTICIPANT AS DEFINED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT THAT
SUCH PURCHASER OR OTHER TRANSFEREE IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" AS
DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
THE HOLDER, AND EACH FIDUCIARY WHICH CAUSES ANY PERSON TO
ACQUIRE ANY WARRANT, IN ITS INDIVIDUAL AS WELL AS ITS FIDUCIARY CAPACITY, WILL
BE DEEMED BY SUCH PURCHASE, HOLDING OR ACQUISITION, ON EACH DATE ON WHICH THE
WARRANT IS HELD BY SUCH PERSON, TO HAVE REPRESENTED THAT IT IS NOT A (I)
"EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN" (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT
INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED ("ERISA")) SUBJECT TO THE FIDUCIARY
RESPONSIBILITY PROVISIONS OF TITLE I OF ERISA, (II) "PLAN" DESCRIBED IN SECTION
4975(E)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "CODE") SUBJECT
TO SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE, (III) ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE PLAN
ASSETS BY REASON OF A PLAN'S INVESTMENT IN SUCH ENTITY OR OTHERWISE OR (IV)
GOVERNMENTAL OR OTHER PLAN SUBJECT TO REQUIREMENTS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO
TITLE I OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
EACH PERSON THAT ACQUIRES A WARRANT, AND EACH FIDUCIARY WHO
CAUSES A PERSON TO ACQUIRE A WARRANT, IN ITS INDIVIDUAL AS WELL AS ITS FIDUCIARY
CAPACITY, AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE DEPOSITOR, THE TRUSTEE, THE
WARRANT AGENT, MS&CO. AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES FROM ANY COST, DAMAGES,
LOSS OR EXPENSE, INCURRED BY THEM AS A RESULT OF THE REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY
SUCH PERSON OR FIDUCIARY IN THIS PARAGRAPH NOT BEING TRUE.
THIS WARRANT MAY BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER AS PROVIDED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT FOR THE TRUST TO WHICH THIS WARRANT
RELATES.
Any purported transfer of this Warrant certificate (or any
interest herein) in violation of Section 3.2(a)(1) or Section 3.2(a)(2) of
schedule iii to the trust agreement shall be void ab initio and the purported
transferee in such transfer shall not be recognized by any Person as a holder of
such Warrants for any purpose. The Depositor and the Trustee shall each have the
power to sell the Warrants (or any interest herein) of a purported Warrantholder
(or owner of any interest herein) who acquired its interest in violation of
Section 3.2(a)(1) or Section 3.2(a)(2) of schedule iii to the trust agreement or
who continues to hold Warrants in violation of Section 3.2(a)(2) of schedule iii
of the trust agreement.
THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
5. The Transferee and each fiduciary which causes the Transferee to
acquire any Warrant, in its individual as well as its fiduciary capacity,
represents and agrees that the Transferee is NOT a Plan, is NOT a governmental
or other plan subject to restrictions substantially similar to Title I of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code, and is NOT acquiring the Warrants with the assets
of any such Plan or other plan. The Transferee and each such fiduciary
understands that the representations made in this section 5 will be deemed made
on each day from the date hereof through and including the date on which the
Transferee disposes of the Warrants. The Transferee and each fiduciary who
causes the Transferee to acquire a Warrant, in its individual as well as its
fiduciary capacity, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Warrant Agent, MS&Co., each Distribution Participant and their
respective affiliates from any cost, damages, loss or expense, incurred by them
as a result of the representations made in this paragraph not being true.
6. The Transferee understands that no subsequent transfer of the
Warrants is permitted unless such transfer is to a transferee who will own,
after giving effect to such transfer and any other simultaneous transfers, at
least 250 Warrants and the Transferee causes the proposed transferee to provide
to the Depositor and the Trustee such documentation as may be required pursuant
to Section 3.2 of the Warrant Agent Agreement, including, if required, a letter
substantially in the form hereof, or such other written statement as the
Depositor shall reasonably prescribe.
7. The Transferee is a Person who is either:
A. (1) a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation,
partnership or other entity organized in or under the laws of the United States
or any political subdivision thereof, or (3) an estate the income of which is

supervision of the administration of the trust and one or more United States
persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or
B. a Person not described in (A), whose ownership of such Warrant is
effectively connected with such Person's conduct of a trade or business within
the United States within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and its ownership of any interest in such Warrant will not
result in any withholding obligation with respect to any payments with respect
to the Warrants by any Person (other than withholding, if any, under Section
1446 of the Code), or
C. a Person not described in (A) or (B) above, who is not a Person: (1)
that owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock in the Underlying Securities Issuer (as defined in
Schedule II to the Trust Agreement) entitled to vote, (2) that is a controlled
foreign corporation related to the Underlying Securities Issuer within the
meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, or (3) that is a bank extending credit
pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or

form, and that it will provide such other certifications, representations or
Opinions of Counsel as may be requested by the Depositor and the Trustee.

interest therein) in violation of Section 3.2(a)(1) (addressed in paragraph 2
hereof) or Section 3.2(a)(2) (addressed in paragraph 5 hereof) of Schedule III
to the Trust Agreement shall be void ab initio and the purported transferee in
such transfer shall not be recognized by any Person as a holder of such Warrants
for any purpose. The Transferee understands that the Depositor and the Trustee
shall each have the power to sell the Warrants (or any interest therein) of a
purported Warrantholder (or owner of any interest therein) who acquired its
interest in violation of Section 3.2(a)(1) or Section 3.2(a)(2) of Schedule III
to the Trust Agreement or who continues to hold Warrants in violation of Section
3.2(a)(2) of Schedule III to the Trust Agreement.
