all Securities held by the Trust), any
Securities held by the Trust will be
liquidated (in the case of a Trust Wind-Up
Event resulting from a self-tender offer, by

tender all of the Securities held by the

with holders of the Units to the extent of
such claim in the proceeds from the recovery
on the Securities.
Call Option Terms: Not applicable.

Security Issuer to pay an installment of
principal of, or any amount of interest due
on, the Securities after the due date
thereof and after the expiration of any
applicable grace period; or (iii) the
occurrence of certain events of default
under such Securities and/or Security
Agreement relating to the insolvency or

holds, the Trust will sell the Securities
through the Selling Agent in accordance with
Section 9.03(b) and the following terms. The
Selling Agent will solicit bids for all of
the Securities held by the Trust from at
least three registered broker-dealers of
national reputation, one of which shall be
the Selling Agent. The Selling Agent will,
on behalf of the Trust, sell the Securities
at the highest bid price received. If the
Selling Agent did not put forward such
highest bid, it may purchase the Securities
at such highest bid rather than selling the
Securities to the highest bidder.
Voting and other Actions: In the event that the Security Issuer
solicits any vote, consent, waiver,
modification or other action under the
Security Agreement or the terms of the
Securities, the Trustee will act with
respect to all of the Securities in

(by outstanding Unit Principal Balance) of
the Units.
Additional Issuance of Units: Upon no less than 5 days' notice to the
Trustee, the Depositor may deposit
additional Securities at any time in
exchange for additional Units in a minimum
aggregate amount of $250,000 and, if in
excess of such amount, in a $25 integral
multiple in excess thereof. The principal
amount of Securities deposited must be in
the same ratio to the Unit Principal Balance
of the Units received as the ratio of the
aggregate Unit Principal Balance on the
Closing Date to the aggregate principal
balance of the Securities on the Closing
Date. The Depositor must either arrange for
the Swap Counterparty and the Trust to
increase proportionally the notional amount
under the Swap Agreement or arrange for an
additional Swap Agreement to be entered into
between the Trust and an additional Swap
Counterparty. Any Securities deposited will
be deposited with accrued interest and the
corresponding Units issued by the Trust will
be issued with accrued interest. The Rating
Agency Condition must be satisfied in

and satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition for this purpose shall require an
opinion of counsel that following the
issuance of the additional Units, the Trust
will still constitute a grantor trust for US
