Prepayment/Redemption: The Trust Property is subject to
redemption in accordance with the
terms of the Underlying Securities
and as described in Schedule II and
is subject to call in accordance
with Schedule III. Any such call or
redemption will cause a redemption
of a corresponding portion of the
Class A Units and a proportional
reduction in the Notional Amount of
the Class B Units.
If the call rights under the Swap
Agreement are partially exercised or
if there is a partial redemption of
the Securities, (i) the Trustee will
randomly select Class A Units to be
redeemed in full from the proceeds
of such partial exercise of the Swap
Agreement or if there is a partial
redemption of the Securities and
(ii) the Trustee will first redeem,
up to a Notional Amount equal to the
principal amount of Underlying
Securities subject to such exercised
or terminated call, Class B Units
held by any Swap Counterparty who
has exercised its call rights under
the Swap Agreement or who will be
selected for termination of call
rights and then by random selection.
If sufficient funds are not
available to redeem each such
redeemed Unit in full, one Unit may
be fractionally redeemed as a result
of each such partial redemption or
exercise.
Additional Distribution: Class A Units:

redeemed by the Security Issuer
prior to April 3, 2008, each of the

connection with such redemption of
Securities or related exercise of
the call rights under the Swap
Agreement shall receive a pro rata
distribution from the proceeds of
such redemption or exercise in
respect of principal, price or
premium with respect to the
Securities in excess of the
corresponding Unit Principal Balance
of the Class A Units to be redeemed,
up to a maximum of $2.50 per Class A
Unit being redeemed.
If the Underlying Security Issuer
gives notice of a self-tender as to
Underlying Securities held by the
Trust and a Swap Counterparty
exercises its call rights under a
Swap Agreement in connection with
such self-tender for settlement
prior to April 3, 2008, each
redeemed Class A Unitholder shall
receive an additional distribution
of $1.50 per Class A Unit from the
proceeds of such exercise in respect
of principal, price or premium with
respect to the Underlying Securities
in excess of the corresponding Unit
Principal Balance of the Class A
Units to be redeemed.
Class B Units:
If the Securities are redeemed by
the Security Issuer or if the Swap
Counterparty exercises its call
rights under the Swap Agreement,
then the Class B Units designated
for a reduction in Notional Amount
in connection with such redemption
or exercise shall receive (i) an
amount up to the Class B Present
Value Amount as of the date of such
reduction in Notional Amount as an
additional distribution from the
proceeds of such redemption
remaining after required
distributions to the Class A Units
or (ii) any Class B Unit Payment
Obligation as payable under the Swap
Agreement in connection with such
exercise, as applicable. In no event
will amounts payable on the Class B
Units under this provision exceed
the Class B Present Value Amount.
"Class B Present Value Amount"
means, with respect to a date, an
amount equal to the present value of
the Future Class B Unit Interest for
such date in respect of the
corresponding portion of the
Notional Amount of the Class B Units
being reduced discounted at a rate
of 6.125% per annum on the basis of
a 360 day year consisting of twelve
30 day months.
"Future Class B Unit Interest" means
with respect to any date of
reduction in the Notional Amount of
the Class B Units resulting from a
redemption of the Securities or an
exercise of call rights under the
Swap Agreement, the interest on the
corresponding portion of the
Notional Amount of the Class B
Units, other than interest paid or
accrued through such date, that
would accrue at the rate and in the
manner specified hereunder and would
be payable at the times specified
hereunder on such corresponding
portion of the Notional Amount of
the Class B Units to the Scheduled
Final Distribution Date had such
reduction of the Notional Amount of
the Class B Units not occurred.
Swap Agreement: The ISDA Master Agreement referred
to in Schedule III and any
assignment thereof.
Swap Counterparty: Party A to the Swap Agreement
referred to in Schedule III or any
assignee thereof.
In the event of a partial redemption
or self-tender for the Underlying
Securities:
i) in the case of a partial
redemption, to the extent options
corresponding to more Underlying
Securities than are subject to such
partial redemption are exercised, a
number of options exercised by each
Swap Counterparty shall be deemed
rescinded (and each Swap
Counterparty shall be entitled to
exercise such rescinded options in
the future) such that (a) the total
amount of options exercised
corresponds to the number of
Underlying Securities redeemed and
(b) each Swap Counterparty's
exercise is reduced proportionately
to the number of options such Swap
Counterparty initially exercised.
(ii) in the case of a self-tender
for the Underlying Securities the
Trustee shall tender to the
Underlying Security Issuer an amount
of the Underlying Securities equal
to the total number of options
exercised, and shall apply the
proceeds of such tender in cash
settlement of such options as
provided in the Swap Agreement;
provided, however, that to the
extent any amount of Underlying
Securities tendered is not accepted
by the Underlying Security Issuer
and paid for in accordance with the
terms of the tender offer, such
options relating to the Underlying
Securities so tendered and not
accepted shall be deemed rescinded
and no settlement thereof shall be
deemed to have occurred, with the
number of such rescinded options to
be allocated among the Swap
Counterparties in proportion to the
number of options initially
exercised (and each Swap
Counterparty shall be entitled to
exercise such rescinded options in
the future).
Swap Termination Payment: With respect to each $1,000 face
amount of Underlying Securities and

proceeds or redemption proceeds of
the Underlying Securities, as

Notional Amount of Class B Units to
be redeemed in relation to such sale
or redemption and (z) any additional
distribution on the Class A Units to
be redeemed in relation to such sale
or distribution.
In connection with a partial
redemption, such Swap Termination
Payment shall be allocated among
multiple Swap Counterparties in
proportion to the number of options
held by each Swap Counterparty

partial redemption as set forth

Trustee Fees and Expenses: As compensation for and in payment
of trust expenses related to its
services hereunder other than

Trustee will receive Trustee Fees on

equal to $2,000. The Trustee Fee
shall cease to accrue after

pursuant to an Expense

(the "Expense Administration

The Expense Administrator will
receive a fee equal to $6,500
payable on each Distribution Date.
Amounts in respect of an additional

expenses of the Trust in accordance
with the Expense Administration
Agreement.
Listing: The Depositor has applied to list
the Class A Units on the New York
Stock Exchange.
ERISA Restrictions: With respect to the Class A Units,
no ERISA Restrictions apply. With
respect to the Class B Units, the No
Plan Restriction applies.
QIB Restriction: Not applicable to the Class A Units.
Applicable to the Class B Units.
Trust Wind-Up Event: If (i) cash settlement applies under
the Swap Agreement (other than in
connection with a self-tender or
redemption by the Underlying
Security Issuer for the Underlying
Securities), (ii) a Trust Wind-Up
Event has occurred in connection
with the exercise of any call rights
under the Swap Agreement and (iii)
the Selling Agent cannot obtain a
bid for the Underlying Securities in
excess of 100% of the amount
specified in the Swap Agreement,
then the Underlying Securities will
not be sold, the Swap Counterparty's
exercise of the call rights will be
rescinded (and the Swap Counterparty
shall be entitled to exercise such
options in the future) and any
related Trust Wind-Up Event will be
deemed not to have occurred.
Termination: If a Trust Wind-Up Event occurs, any
Underlying Securities held by the
Trust will be liquidated (by
delivery to the Underlying Security
Issuer in the event of a redemption,
pursuant to the terms of the
applicable Swap Agreement in the
event of an exercise of options
under a Swap Agreement or otherwise
by sale thereof).
If the related Trust Wind-Up Event
occurs due to a redemption of the
Underlying Securities by the
Underlying Securities Issuer or an
exercise of the call rights under
the Swap Agreement as to all
Underlying Securities held by the
Trust, (i) amounts received as
accrued interest on the Underlying
Securities will be applied pro rata
as to amounts treated as accrued
interest outstanding on the Class A
Units and the Class B Units, (ii)
amounts received as principal or par
on the Underlying Securities
(including any portion of the Strike
Price (as defined in the Swap
Agreement) will be applied to the
Unit Principal Balance of the Class
A Units up to 100% of the Unit
Principal Balance of each Class A
Unit and (iii) any additional
amounts received in respect of
principal, price or premium (or any
portion of the Strike Price in
excess of the amount in (ii)) will
be in each case applied first to the
Class A Units as an additional
distribution and second to the Class
B Units as an additional
distribution in the event of any
payment in connection with any
redemption, but only up to the
amount specified under "Additional
Distributions" in this Trust
Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Class B Unit Payment
Obligation made by the Swap
Counterparty under the Swap
Agreement will be distributed to the
Class B Units as set forth under
"Additional Distributions".
Remaining accrued interest will be
applied to the Expense
Administrator's fee. Amounts in
respect of an additional payment
obligation of each Swap Counterparty
in respect of the Expense
Administrator's Fee will be paid to
the Expense Administrator. Remaining
amounts will be allocated to any
applicable additional distribution
on the Class B Units and then to the
Swap Termination Payment.
If the Trust is terminated for any
other reason, the proceeds of
liquidation will be applied to
redeem the Class A Units, up to
their stated principal balance, and
the Class B Units. The Class A Units
will have a claim on the proceeds of
the liquidation equal to their
aggregate Unit Principal Balance
plus accrued interest. The Class B
Units will have a claim on the
proceeds of liquidation equal to
accrued interest plus the Class B
Present Value Amount, in each case
as of such date of termination. If
the proceeds of the liquidation are
less than the combined claim amounts
of the Class A Units and the Class B
Units, the proceeds will be
distributed in proportion to the
claim amounts of the Class A Units
and the Class B Units in full
satisfaction of the claims of the
Units. If the proceeds of
liquidation exceed the stated
principal balance of the Class A and
the Class B Present Value of the
Class B Units and the accrued
interest on the Underlying
Securities, the excess will be paid
to the Swap Counterparty as a Swap
Termination Payment under the Swap
Agreement, other than amounts
payable to the Expense Administrator
in respect of the Expense
Administrator's Fee.
Self-Tenders by
Underlying Security Issuer: The Trust will not participate in
any self-tender by the Underlying
Security Issuer for the Underlying
Securities and the Trustee will not
accept any instructions to the
contrary from the Unitholders,
except in connection with an
exercise by a Swap Counterparty of
its call rights. Any Swap
Counterparty may exercise its call
rights in connection with any
self-tender in accordance with the
Swap Agreement and the Trustee may
participate in the self tender by
the Underlying Security Issuer on
behalf of an exercising Swap
Counterparty.
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) each Swap
Counterparty and the Expense
Administrator must consent to such
an exchange.
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 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 $678,822.
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.
Call Option Terms: Not Applicable.
Sale of Underlying Securities: If the Swap Counterparty is not an
affiliate of the Selling Agent, the
Selling Agent will extend a right of
first refusal to each Swap
Counterparty to purchase the
Underlying Securities at the highest
bid received by the Selling Agent.
If more than one Swap Counterparty
exercises such right of first
refusal, Underlying Securities will
be sold to each exercising Swap
Counterparty in proportion to the
number of options held by such Swap
Counterparty; provided, that if only
one Swap Counterparty exercises such
right of first refusal, such Swap
Counterparty shall be entitled to
purchase all of the Underlying
Securities to be sold by the Selling
Agent.
If cash settlement applies and if a
Swap Counterparty exercises any of
its call rights other than in
connection with a redemption of or a
self-tender for the Underlying
Securities by the Underlying
Security Issuer, a number of
Underlying Securities corresponding
to the number of call rights
exercised by the Swap Counterparty
(or in the event of an exercise of
call rights in excess of the amount
to be redeemed, the number of call
rights equal to such excess) will be
sold by the Selling Agent on behalf
of the Trust. If the Selling Agent
cannot obtain a bid for the
Underlying Securities in excess of
the amount specified in the Swap
Agreement, then the Underlying
Securities will not be sold, the
Swap Counterparty's exercise, other
than with respect to Securities
being redeemed, will be rescinded
(and the Swap Counterparty shall be
entitled to exercise such call
rights in the future) and any
related Trust Wind-Up Event will be
deemed not to have occurred.
