Securities pursuant to the Sale Agreement and receipt by it of the Underlying
Securities, (ii) accepts the trust created hereunder in accordance with the

Section 3. Designation. There is hereby created a Series of trust
certificates to be issued pursuant to the Base Trust Agreement and this Series
Supplement to be known as the "CorTS(R) Callable Trust Certificates." The
Certificates shall be issued in two classes, in the amount set forth in Section
5 and with the additional terms set forth in Exhibit B and E to this Series
Supplement. The CorTS and the I/O Certificates shall be issued in substantially
the forms set forth in Exhibit C and F to this Series Supplement with such
necessary or appropriate changes as shall be approved by the Trustor and the

thereof by the Trustee. The Certificates shall evidence undivided beneficial
ownership interests in the assets of the Trust, subject to the liabilities of
the Trust and shall be payable solely from payments or property received by the
Trustee on or in respect of the Trust Assets. The CorTS, except as set forth in
Section 10, will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the
principal and redemption premium, if any, of the Underlying Securities, and will
represent a beneficial ownership interest in the interest received on the
Underlying Securities equal to the CorTS Fixed Payments. The I/O Certificates
will represent a beneficial ownership interest in the interest received on the
Underlying Securities equal to the I/O Fixed Payments and, to the extent set
forth in Section 10, will represent a beneficial ownership interest in the
principal and redemption premium, if any, of the Underlying Securities. The
CorTS and the I/O Certificates will rank pari passu with respect to their
respective beneficial ownership interest in the interest payments on the
Underlying Securities and will share proportionately in such interest based upon
the accrued and unpaid CorTS Fixed Payments, and the accrued and unpaid I/O
Fixed Payments.
Section 4. Date of the Certificates. The Certificates that are
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to the Seller upon Trustor Order on
the Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date. All other Certificates that
are authenticated after the Closing Date for any other purpose under the
Agreement shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Section 5. CorTS Principal Balance and Denominations; I/O Certificates;
Additional Underlying Securities. On the Closing Date, 2,400,000 CorTS with a
Certificate Principal Balance of $60,000,000 shall be authenticated and
delivered under the Base Trust Agreement and this Series Supplement. In
addition, on the Closing Date, I/O Certificates with a Notional Amount of
$60,000,000 shall be authenticated and delivered under the Base Trust Agreement
and this Series Supplement. The Certificate Principal Balance of the CorTS and
the Notional Amount of the I/O Certificates shall each initially equal the
initial principal amount of Underlying Securities sold to the Trustee and
deposited in the Trust. Such Certificate Principal Balance and Notional Amounts
shall be calculated without regard to CorTS and I/O Certificates, respectively,
authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange
for, or in lieu of, other CorTS or I/O Certificates pursuant to Sections 5.3,
5.4 or 5.5 of the Base Trust Agreement. There may be sold to the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust additional Underlying Securities on any date hereafter upon
at least five (5) Business Days notice to the Trustee and upon (i) satisfaction
of the Rating Agency Condition and (ii) delivery of an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the sale of such additional Underlying Securities will not
materially increase the likelihood that the Trust would fail to qualify as a
grantor trust under the Code and, in any event, that the Trust will not fail to
qualify as either a grantor trust or partnership (other than a publicly traded
partnership treated as a corporation) under the Code. Each condition to be
satisfied with respect to a sale of Underlying Securities on or prior to the
Closing Date shall be satisfied with respect to a sale of additional Underlying
Securities no later than the date of sale thereof, each representation and
warranty set forth in the Agreement to be made on the Closing Date shall be made
on such date of sale with respect to the additional Underlying Securities, and
from and after such date of sale, all Underlying Securities held by the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall be held on the same terms and conditions. Upon such
sale to the Trustee, the Trustee shall credit such additional Underlying
Securities to the Certificate Account, and shall authenticate and deliver as
instructed by the Trustor, CorTS in a Certificate Principal Balance and I/O
Certificates in a Notional Amount equal to the principal amount of such
additional Underlying Securities. Any such additional CorTS and I/O Certificates
authenticated and delivered shall rank pari passu with any CorTS or I/O
Certificates, respectively, previously issued in accordance with this Series
Supplement, and any such Underlying Securities will be subject to Call Warrants
as set forth in Section 8 hereof. The Trustee shall notify existing
Certificateholders of the sale of any such additional Underlying Securities to
the Trust and the issuance of any such additional CorTS and I/O Certificates not
more than 10 days after such sale.
7
Section 6. Currency of the Certificates. All distributions on the
Certificates will be made in the Specified Currency.
Section 7. Form of Securities. c) The Trustee shall execute and deliver
the Certificates in the form of one or more global certificates registered in
the name of DTC or its nominee.
(b) I/O Certificates that are Rule 144A Certificates initially shall be
represented by one or more certificates in registered, global form without
interest coupons (collectively, the "Restricted Global Certificate"). The
Restricted Global Certificate shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC, and
initially registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. I/O
Certificates that are Regulation S Certificates initially shall be represented
by one or more temporary global certificates in registered, global form without
interest coupons (collectively, the "Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate"). The Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall be deposited
on behalf of the subscribers thereof with a custodian for DTC. The Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate shall be registered in the name of a nominee of DTC
for credit to the subscribers' respective accounts at Euroclear or Clearstream
Banking.
Within a reasonable period of time after the expiration of the period of
40 days commencing on the day after the later of (i) the commencement of the
offering made hereby and (ii) the Closing Date (such period through and
including such 40th day, the "Restricted Period"), the Regulation S Temporary
Global Certificates shall be exchanged for one or more permanent global
certificates (collectively, the "Permanent Regulation S Global Certificate" and,
together with the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate, the "Regulation S
Global Certificate" (the Regulation S Global Certificate and the Restricted
Global Certificate, collectively, being the "Global Certificates")), upon
delivery to DTC of certification of compliance with the transfer restrictions
applicable to the I/O Certificates and pursuant to Regulation S. During the
Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream Banking (as
indirect participants in DTC), unless transferred to a person that takes
delivery through the Restricted Global Certificate in accordance with the
certification requirements described below. Beneficial interests in the
Restricted Global Certificate may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in
the Regulation S Global Certificate at any time except in the limited
circumstances described below.
8
Except as set forth below, the Global Certificates may be transferred, in
whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC
or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Certificates may not be
exchanged for Certificates in certificated form except in the limited
circumstances described below.
Rule 144A Certificates (including beneficial interests in the Restricted
Global Certificate) shall be subject to certain restrictions on transfer and
shall bear a restrictive legend as set forth on Exhibit F hereto. In addition,
transfer of beneficial interests in the Global Certificates shall be subject to
the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect
participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream
Banking), which may change from time to time.
No Certificateholder shall be entitled to receive a certificate
representing such Certificateholder's interest, except as set forth herein.
Unless and until definitive Certificates are issued under the limited
circumstances described herein, all references to actions by Certificateholders
with respect to any such Certificates shall refer to action to be taken by DTC
upon instructions from its Participants.
Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and effecting DTC and
its operations, DTC shall take action permitted to be taken by a
Certificateholder under the Agreement only at the direction of one or more
Participants to whose DTC account such Certificates are credited.
(c) Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial
interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be transferred to a
person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the corresponding
Restricted Global Certificate only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written
certification from the transferor in the form required by the Trustee to the
effect that such transfer is being made (i) (a) to a person whom the transferor
reasonably believes is a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule
144A or (b) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements
under the Securities Act (such certification being accompanied by an opinion of
counsel regarding the availability of such exemption) and (ii) in accordance
with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any
other jurisdiction.
Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Certificate may be
transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the
Regulation S Global Certificate, whether before or after the expiration of the
Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a
written certificate to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance
with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144A (if available) and that, if
such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the
interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or
Clearstream Banking.
9
Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Certificates that is
transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another
Global Certificate shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global
Certificate and become an interest in such other Global Certificate and,
accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other
procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Certificate
for as long as it remains such an interest.
Transfers involving an exchange of a beneficial interest in the Regulation
S Global Certificate for a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global
Certificate or vice versa shall be effected in DTC by means of an instruction
originated by the Trustee through the DTC/Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian
("DWAC") system. Accordingly, in connection with such transfer, appropriate
adjustments shall be made to reflect a decrease in the principal amount of the
Regulation S Global Certificate and a corresponding increase in the principal
amount of the Restricted Global Certificate or vice versa, as applicable.
(d) Definitive certificates shall be issued to owners of Certificates or
their nominees, respectively, rather than to DTC or its nominee, only if (i) the
Trustor advises the Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to
discharge properly its responsibilities as Clearing Agency with respect to the
Certificates and the Trustor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii)
to the extent permitted by law, the Trustor, at its option, elects to terminate
the book-entry system with respect to the Certificates through DTC.
Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding
paragraph, the Trustee is required to notify all Participants of the
availability through DTC of definitive certificates. Upon surrender by DTC of
the definitive certificates representing the Certificates and receipt of
instructions for re-registration, the Trustee shall reissue such Certificates as
definitive certificates issued in the respective principal amounts owned by the
individual owners of such Certificates, and thereafter the Trustee will
recognize the holders of such definitive certificates as Certificateholders
under the Trust Agreement.
Section 8. Call Warrants. d) Concurrently with the execution of this
Series Supplement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute the
Warrant Agent Agreement and one or more Call Warrants, dated as of the date
hereof and substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, initially evidencing
all of the Call Warrants. The Trustee shall perform the Trust's obligations
under the Warrant Agent Agreement and the Call Warrants in accordance with their
respective terms. In addition, the Trustee shall execute and deliver Call
Warrants, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, with respect to any
additional Underlying Securities sold to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
pursuant to Section 5 of this Series Supplement.
(b) The Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders upon receipt of (i)
any notice, pursuant to the provision of the Call Warrants, of a Warrantholder's
exercise of its Call Warrants and (ii) notice from the Warrant Agent that it has
received the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price with respect to such exercised Call
Warrants on the Warrant Exercise Notice Date. Such notice from the Trustee shall
state (i) the Warrant Exercise Date, (ii) that such exercise of the Call Warrant
is unconditional and irrevocable, (iii) that the Trustee will select by lot for
redemption a principal amount of CorTS equal to the principal amount of
Underlying Securities to be purchased and that such redemption of the CorTS will
occur on the Warrant Exercise Date at a price equal to $25 per CorTS plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption plus, in the case
of a Warrant Exercise Date referred to in clause (i)(C) of the definition
thereof, $1.00 per CorTS, and (iv) that on the date of redemption, so long as
the I/O Certificates are outstanding, the I/O Certificateholders will be paid
the I/O Payment Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Warrant
Exercise Date on the Notional Amount of the I/O Certificates to be reduced and
that following such payment on the I/O Certificates the Notional Amount of the
I/O Certificates will be reduced by the principal amount of Underlying
Securities purchased.
10
(c) Upon the exercise of any Call Warrant in accordance with the terms of
the Call Warrants, the Trustee, after receipt of the Warrant Exercise Purchase
Price and the Call Warrants being exercised, shall deliver or cause to be
delivered upon the written direction of the Warrant Agent, by 1:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the related Warrant Exercise Date, the Underlying Securities
as specified in the exercised Call Warrant by instructing the Depositary to
credit such Underlying Securities to the account of the exercising Warrantholder
or its nominee, provided that the Trustee shall have received notice of the
exercise of such Call Warrant from the Warrant Agent in accordance with the
terms of the Call Warrants and shall have received from the Warrant Agent an
amount, in immediately available funds in a form acceptable to the Trustee,
equal to the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price for such Underlying Securities by
12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Warrant Exercise Date.
(d) Upon receipt from the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Exercise Purchase
Price pursuant to the Call Warrants being exercised, the Trustee shall credit
the amount of the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price to the Certificate Account on
or before the related Warrant Exercise Date and pay to the CorTS
Certificateholders and the I/O Certificateholders the amount described in
Section 8(b)(iii) and (iv) above. The CorTS to be redeemed will be selected by
the Trustee or DTC by lot and will be paid for on the Warrant Exercise Date, the
I/O Payment Amount will be made and the Notional Amount of the I/O Certificates
will be reduced pro rata based upon the Notional Amount of I/O Certificates held
by an I/O Certificateholder.
Section 9. Certain Provisions of Base Trust Agreement Not Applicable. The
provisions of Sections 2.3, 3.1.(b), 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11,
3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.18, 4.3, 4.5, 5.16, 5.17, 6.1(f), (g) and (h),
6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7. and 9.1 and Article VII of the Base Trust Agreement and any
provision of the Base Trust Agreement, which imposes obligations on, or creates
rights in favor of, the Trustee or the Certificateholders as a result of or in
connection with an "Event of Default" or "Administrative Agent Termination
Event" shall be inapplicable with respect to the Certificates. In addition,
there is no "Administrative Agent", "Calculation Agent", or "Cut-off Date"
specified herein, and all references to "Administrative Agent", "Calculation
Agent" or "Cut-off Date" in the Base Trust Agreement, therefore shall be
inapplicable with respect to the Certificates.
Section 10. Distributions.
(a) On each Scheduled Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to
the CorTS Certificateholders the related CorTS Fixed Payment and to the I/O
Certificateholders the related I/O Fixed Payment, in each case, to the extent of
Interest Collections. Subject to the exercise of the Call Warrants (in which
case the provisions of Section 8 of this Series Supplement shall apply) and the
terms of this Section 10, on the CorTS Maturity Date the Trustee shall
distribute to the CorTS Certificateholders the principal balance of the CorTS
(in the amount of $60,000,000), to the extent the principal of the Underlying
Securities is received by the Trustee on such date, and shall distribute all
other amounts held in the Trust pursuant to Section 10(k) of this Series
Supplement. If any payment with respect to the Trust Assets as described in this
Section 10(a) is made to the Trustee after the Scheduled Distribution Date on
which such payment was due, the Trustee shall distribute such amount received on
the Business Day following such receipt.
11
(b) In the event of a Payment Default, the Trustee shall solicit bids for
the cash sale of the Underlying Securities with settlement thereof on or before
the third (3rd) Business Day after such sale from three leading dealers in the
relevant market and the Warrantholders and shall accept the highest firm bid
received from such dealers or Warrantholders. Any of the following dealers shall
be deemed to qualify as leading dealers: (1) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC,
(2) Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., (3) Xxxxxx Brothers Inc., (4) Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce,
Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, (5) UBS Securities LLC and (6) Citigroup Global
Markets Inc.; provided, however, that no bid from Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
or any affiliate thereof shall be accepted unless such bid equals the then fair
market value of such Underlying Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for the failure to obtain a bid so long as it has made reasonable efforts to
obtain bids. If a bid for the sale of the Underlying Securities has been
accepted by the Trustee but the sale has failed to settle on the proposed
settlement date, the Trustee shall request new bids from such leading dealers
and the Warrantholders.
(c) Any proceeds received by the Trustee in respect of the Underlying
Securities as a result of an Acceleration and corresponding payment on the
Underlying Securities, or as the result of the liquidation of the Underlying
Securities following a Payment Default on the Underlying Securities, shall
(subject to clause (l) of this Section 10) be distributed to the CorTS
Certificateholders and the I/O Certificateholders such that the percentage of
such proceeds received by the CorTS Certificateholders equals the CorTS
Allocation Percentage as of the Record Date for such distribution and the
percentage of such proceeds received by the I/O Certificateholders equals the
I/O Allocation Percentage as of the Record Date for such distribution until the
aggregate amount so distributed to the CorTS Certificateholders and I/O
Certificateholders equals the sum of the principal amount of the Underlying
Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to date of distribution plus
the I/O Payment Amount as of the date of distribution, and the Call Warrants
will, if In-the-Money, be deemed to be exercised and will be cash settled for an
amount equal to any remaining proceeds. If the Call Warrants are not
In-the-Money, they will expire worthless. Such proceeds will be distributed as
described above in full satisfaction of the claim of the CorTS and the I/O
Certificates and the Call Warrants. The Trustee will promptly give notice as
provided in Section 18(c) to the Depositary, or for any Certificates which are
not then held by DTC or any other depository, directly to the registered holders
of the Certificates then outstanding and unpaid. Such notice shall state (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, (iv) the CorTS affected by the Payment Default or Acceleration, and
(v) any other information which the Trustee may deem appropriate. No amount will
be distributed to the Trustor in respect of the Underlying Securities (other
than amounts which may be distributable to the Trustor as a holder of any
Certificates).
12
(d) Distributions to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date will
be made to the Certificateholders of record on the Record Date.
(e) All distributions to CorTS Certificateholders shall be allocated pro
rata among the CorTS based on their respective principal balances as of the
Record Date. All distributions to I/O Certificateholders shall be allocated pro
rata among the I/O Certificates based on their respective Notional Amounts as of
the Record Date.
(f) 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
(or, if later, such notice may be given on the date such Certificate was
acquired by such Certificateholder) 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(f) unless a new instruction is
delivered fifteen (15) days prior to a Distribution Date.
(g) Upon receipt by the Trustee of a notice that all or a portion of the
Underlying Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select by lot for
redemption a principal amount of CorTS and reduce the Notional Amount of the I/O
Certificates equal to the principal amount of the Underlying Securities to be
redeemed on the Underlying Securities Redemption Distribution Date. The Trustee
shall promptly give notice of such redemption to the Warrantholders. Notice of
such redemption shall also be given by the Trustee to the registered
Certificateholders not less than ten (10) 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.
Upon the occurrence of a redemption of the Underlying Securities by the
Underlying Issuer, redemption proceeds (to the extent of funds available) will
be allocated in the following order of priority: (i) CorTS selected by lot for
redemption, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
the Underlying Securities to be redeemed, will be redeemed at a price equal to
$25 per CorTS plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; (ii) I/O
Certificateholders will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the I/O
Certificates on the Notional Amount of the I/O Certificates to be reduced; (iii)
the I/O Certificateholders will receive an amount equal to the I/O Payment
Amount; and (iv) Call Warrants proportionate to the amount of Underlying
Securities to be redeemed will, if In-the-Money, be deemed to be exercised and
will be cash settled for an amount equal to any remaining redemption proceeds
after the payments made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above, or, if the
Call Warrants are not In-the-Money, such Call Warrants shall expire worthless.
13
All payments to I/O Certificateholders and reductions to the notional
amount of I/O Certificates pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be
made on a pro rata basis based upon the Notional Amount of I/O Certificates held
by an I/O Certificateholder.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) [Reserved].
(j) (A) If the Trust is no longer permitted under Item 1100(c)(2) of
Regulation AB to refer to periodic reports filed by the Underlying Issuer under
the Exchange Act and the Trustor determines in its sole discretion, after
consultation with the Commission, that under applicable securities laws, rules
or regulations the Trust must be liquidated or the Underlying Securities
distributed (an "SEC Reporting Failure"), then the Trustee shall liquidate any
remaining Underlying Securities and distribute any proceeds thereof to the
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any such
liquidation of the Trust. The distribution of liquidation proceeds will be
allocated between the CorTS Certificateholders and the I/O Certificateholders
such that the percentage received by the CorTS Certificateholders of the total
distribution equals the CorTS Allocation Percentage as of the Record Date for
such distribution and the percentage received by the I/O Certificateholders of
the total distribution equals the I/O Allocation Percentage as of the Record
Date of such distribution. In connection with the occurrence of an SEC Reporting
Failure, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee or the Trustor
shall notify the Warrantholders promptly after consultation with the Commission
as described above.
(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Call Warrants will become
immediately exercisable upon the occurrence of an SEC Reporting Failure (whether
such SEC Reporting Failure occurs before or after October 20, 2011), and, if
In-the-Money or At-the-Money, will be deemed to be exercised without further
action by the Warrantholders and will be cash-settled concurrently with the
distribution to CorTS Certificateholders and I/O Certificateholders. If the Call
Warrants are In-the-Money or At-the-Money and are cash-settled, the allocation
between the CorTS and the I/O Certificates described in paragraph (A) above
shall not apply, the Underlying Securities will be liquidated as set forth below
and the CorTS will receive liquidation proceeds in an amount equal to $25 per
CorTS plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the I/O Certificates will
receive liquidation proceeds in an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest
thereon plus the I/O Payment Amount and any remaining proceeds will be paid to
the Warrantholders.
(C) If an SEC Reporting Failure occurs, the Trustee shall solicit
bids for the sale of the Underlying Securities with settlement thereof on or
before the third (3rd) Business Day after such sale from three leading dealers
in the relevant market and the Warrantholders, and may solicit additional bids
from such other parties as the Trustor deems appropriate and shall accept the
highest firm bid received in connection with such solicitation. The Call
Warrants will be deemed to be "In-the-Money" if the highest firm bid received
with respect to all Underlying Securities owned by the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust exceeds (and will be deemed to be "At-the-Money" if such bid equals) the
sum of 100% of the principal amount of such Underlying Securities plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon plus (ii) the I/O Payment Amount, and cash
settlement shall be made in an amount equal to such excess, if any (but only if
the Underlying Securities are actually sold at a price equal to the amount of
such bid). Any of the following dealers shall be deemed to qualify as leading
dealers: (1) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, (2) Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., (3)
Xxxxxx Brothers Inc., (4) Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated,
(5) UBS Securities LLC and (6) Citigroup Global Markets Inc.; provided, however,
that no bid from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or any affiliate thereof shall be
accepted unless such bid equals the then fair market value of such Underlying
Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the failure to obtain a bid
so long as it has made reasonable efforts to obtain bids. If a bid for the sale
of the Underlying Securities has been accepted by the Trustee but the sale has
failed to settle on the proposed settlement date, the Trustee shall request new
bids from such leading dealers as soon as reasonably practicable.
14
(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an SEC Reporting Failure
occurs on or after October 20, 2011, Warrantholders will continue to have the
right to exercise the Call Warrants in accordance with Section 8 so long as the
Call Warrants are exercised prior to the liquidation of the Underlying
Securities. Any payments to CorTS Certificateholders and I/O Certificateholders
in connection with such exercise shall be made as set forth in Section 8.
(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 required payments and
distributions have been made in accordance with this Series Supplement
(including without limitation Section 8 and this Section 10), such remaining
monies or property shall be distributed to the Certificateholders on a pro rata
basis based on the Allocation Percentages on the date the final CorTS Fixed
Payment and I/O Fixed Payment was made. 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
principal balances or Notional Amount, as the case may be.
(l) On the Closing Date, as partial payment for the Underlying Securities,
the Trustee shall deliver to, or at the direction of, the Seller, pursuant to
the Sale Agreement, all of the Certificates and the Call Warrants. On December
1, 2006, as payment of the balance of the purchase price for the Underlying
Securities, as provided in the Sale Agreement, the Trustee shall pay to the
Seller from the scheduled interest distributions received on the Underlying
Securities on such date, the amount of the interest accrued on the Underlying
Securities from June 1, 2006 to but not including the Closing Date, which amount
equals $1,650,625.00. In the event such amounts are not received by the Trustee
on such date or otherwise are insufficient to pay such amount of accrued
interest to the Seller, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Seller shall have a claim for the unpaid portion of such amount and shall
share pari passu with the Certificateholders to the extent of such claim in the
proceeds from the sale or recovery of the Underlying Securities.
Section 11. Termination of Trust. e) The Trust shall terminate upon the
occurrence of any Trust Termination Event.
15
(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 on behalf of the Trust. The Trust shall thereupon terminate, except
for surviving rights of indemnity.
Section 12. Limitation of Powers and Duties. f) 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 (i) acquiring and
holding the Underlying Securities, (ii) issuing the Certificates and Call
Warrants, (iii) entering into and performing its obligations and enforcing its
rights under the Agreement, this Series Supplement and the Call Warrants and
(iv) taking the other actions required hereunder. 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 the Underlying Securities and enforce the other rights, if any, of a
holder of the Underlying Securities, except as otherwise limited by the Base
Trust Agreement or this Series Supplement. In the event that the Trustee
receives a request from the Underlying Securities Trustee, the Underlying Issuer
or, if applicable, the Depositary with respect to the Underlying Securities, for
the Trustee's consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of the Underlying
Securities, or any document relating thereto, or receives any other solicitation
for any action with respect to the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall
within two (2) Business Days mail a notice of such proposed amendment,
modification, waiver or solicitation to each CorTS Certificateholder and I/O
Certificateholder of record as of the date of such request. The Trustee shall
request instructions from the CorTS Certificateholders as to what action to take
in response to such request 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 principal balances of the CorTS) as if the CorTS 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 in favor
of or consent to any matter (i) which would alter the timing or amount of any
payment on the Underlying Securities (including, without limitation, any demand
to accelerate the Underlying Securities) or (ii) which would result in the
exchange, substitution, or tender of any Underlying Security whether or not
pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of such Underlying Security,
except in each case with the unanimous consent of the Certificateholders, and
subject to the requirement that such vote or consent would not materially
increase the likelihood that the Trust will fail to qualify as a grantor trust
for United States federal income tax purposes, and, in any event, that the Trust
will not fail to qualify as either a grantor trust or partnership (other than a
publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation) under the Code, such
determination to be based solely on an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not
be obligated to follow any instruction that would cause the Trust to violate the
terms of any agreement or other obligation to which the Trust is a party,
including the Warrant Agent Agreement. The Trustee shall have no liability for
any failure to act or to refrain from acting resulting from the
Certificateholders' late return of, or failure to return, directions requested
by the Trustee from the Certificateholders.
16
(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 Certificate
Registrar.
Section 13. Compensation of Trustee. Each of the Trustee and U.S. Bank
National Association, as co-trustee (the "co-trustee"), shall be entitled to
receive from the Trustor as compensation for its services hereunder, trustee's
fees pursuant to a separate agreement among the Trustee, the co-trustee, and the
Trustor, and shall be reimbursed for all 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). The Trustor shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Trustee and
the co-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 the administration of this trust and the performance of
its duties thereunder. The Trustee and the co-trustee shall notify the Trustor
promptly of any claim for which they may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee
or the co-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 incurred by the Trustee or the co-trustee
through the Trustee's or the co-trustee's own willful misconduct, gross
negligence or bad faith. The indemnities contained in this Section 13 shall
survive the resignation or termination of the Trustee or the co-trustee, or the
termination of this Agreement.
Failure by the Trustor to pay, reimburse or indemnify the Trustee or the
co-trustee shall not entitle the Trustee or the co-trustee to any payment,
reimbursement or indemnification from the Trust, nor shall such failure release
either the Trustee or the co-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 and the co-trustee in its
individual capacity, and the Trustee and the co-trustee shall have no recourse
against the Trust with respect thereto.
17
The Trustee hereby agrees that it shall not receive any additional
compensation for the performance of its duties, as warrant agent under the
Warrant Agent Agreement.
Section 14. Modification or Amendment. g) 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, there may be sold to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust additional
Underlying Securities from time to time without violation or trigger of this
Section 14. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
10.1(a) of the Base Trust Agreement, the Base Trust Agreement or this Series
Supplement may not be amended or modified for the purposes contained in items
(v) through (viii) in Section 10.1 of the Base Trust Agreement unless the
Trustee has received written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such
amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce or withdraw the then
current rating of the CorTS.
(b) As referenced in Section 10.1(b) of the Base Trust Agreement, the
Required Percentage--Amendment required if the Rating Agency Condition is not
satisfied with respect to a modification or amendment shall be 100%.
Section 15. Accounting. Notwithstanding Section 3.16 of the Base Trust
Agreement, no such accounting reports shall be required. Pursuant to Section 4.2
of the Base Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the statements to be
prepared and forwarded as provided therein.
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 and shall be credited to the Certificate Account.
Section 17. No Event of Default. There shall be no Events of Default
defined with respect to the Certificates.
Section 18. Notices. h) 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 delivered or mailed by first class
mail, postage prepaid or by express delivery service or by certified mail,
return receipt requested or delivered in any other manner specified herein, (i)
in the case of the Trustor, to Structured Products Corp., 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,

Trust, facsimile number (000) 000-0000, or such other address as may hereafter
be furnished to the Trustor in writing by the Trustee.
18
(b) For purposes of delivering notices to the Rating Agency under Section
10.7 of the Base Trust Agreement, or otherwise, such notices shall be mailed or
delivered as provided in such Section 10.7, to: Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000; and Xxxxx'x Investors
Service, Inc., Structured Derivative Products, 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx
Xxxx 00000; or such other address as the Rating Agency may designate in writing
to the parties hereto.
(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 depository, 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, (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.
(e) The Trustee shall, in connection with any required delivery of any
document or notice to the Certificateholders (whether or not such delivery is
required pursuant to the Agreement), provide such document or notice to the
Warrantholders concurrently with the delivery thereof to the 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 of Certificates hereunder 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.
Section 21. Withholding Taxes. The Trustee shall withhold, and remit to
the Internal Revenue Service, a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax (or other
required amount) on the payments made in respect of the Certificates to non-U.S.
Persons who are Certificateholders unless the non-U.S. Person establishes an
exemption from such withholding tax satisfactory to the Trustor and the Trustee.
The Trustee shall not have any obligations to comply with the provisions of this
Section 21 if the Trustee does not have actual knowledge that Certificates are
held by non-U.S. Persons.
Section 22. 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.
19
Section 23. 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 24. 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. The State of New
York is the securities intermediary's jurisdiction of the Securities
Intermediary for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC.
Section 25. Establishment of Certificate Account. The Securities
Intermediary and the Trustee hereby represent and warrant that:
(a) The Certificate Account for the Trust is a "securities account" within
the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC and is held only in the name of the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Securities Intermediary is acting in the
capacity of a "securities intermediary" within the meaning of Section
8-102(a)(14) of the UCC;
(b) All Underlying Securities have been credited to the Certificate
Account by the Securities Intermediary; and
(c) The Certificate Account is an account to which financial assets are or
may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall treat the Trustee as
entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset credited to
the Certificate Account.
Section 26. Certificates of Compliance.
(a) The Trustor shall deliver to the Trustee on or prior to March 31 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.
(b) The Trustee shall provide, at the Trustor's direction and expense, (i)
reports on assessments of compliance with servicing criteria and (ii)
attestation reports on assessments of compliance with servicing criteria
prepared by a nationally recognized registered public accounting firm that
satisfies the requirements of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act
(who may also render services to the Trustor) sufficient for the Trustor on
behalf of the Trust to satisfy the Trust's obligations that, pursuant to Rules
13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, attests
to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance performed by the Trustee and
delivered to the Trustor.
Section 27. Appointment of Co-Trustee. The Trustor and the Trustee hereby
appoint U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as
co-trustee under the Agreement. Any action required to be taken by the Trustee
may be taken by U.S. Bank National Association, as co-trustee, in full
satisfaction of the obligations of the Trustee, provided, however, the
Underlying Securities shall be transferred to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall
pay the full purchase price thereof in accordance with the terms hereof and the
Sale Agreement. By its acceptance of this Series Supplement, U.S. Bank National
Association hereby accepts its appointment as co-trustee under the Agreement.
20
Section 28. Securities Provisions for I/O Certificates. I/O Certificates
sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under
the Securities Act) shall be offered solely to persons that are "qualified
institutional buyers" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act in
accordance with Rule 144A. Each purchaser of the I/O Certificates that is a U.S.
Person will be deemed to have represented that it constitutes a "qualified
institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
At any time when the Trust is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, upon the request of
any I/O Certificateholder, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall promptly
furnish to such I/O Certificateholder or to a prospective purchaser of any I/O
Certificate designated by such I/O Certificateholder, as the case may be, the
information which the Trustor determines to be required to be delivered pursuant
to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A Information") in order
to permit compliance by such I/O Certificateholder with Rule 144A in connection
with the resale of such I/O Certificate by such I/O Certificateholder; provided,
however, that the Trust shall not be required to provide audited financial
statements more than once a year or to furnish Rule 144A Information in
connection with any request made on or after the date that is two years from the
later of (i) the date such I/O Certificate (or any predecessor I/O Certificate)
was acquired from the Trust or (ii) the date such I/O Certificate (or any
predecessor I/O Certificate) was last acquired from an "affiliate" of the Trust
within the meaning of Rule 144, in each case as determined by the Trustor.
I/O Certificates sold to non-U.S. Persons shall be sold solely in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
Section 29. Reporting Obligations. The Trustor shall advise and reasonably
cooperate with the Trustee as to what information, if any, is required by Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on
such advice of the Trustor.
Section 30. Statement of Intent. It is the intention of the parties hereto
that, for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise
taxes and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net
income, the Trust shall be treated as a grantor trust, but failing that, as a
partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation).
The parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax
authorities, the Trust shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary
returns, reports and other forms consistent with such intended characterization.
In the event that the Trust is characterized by appropriate tax authorities as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, each Certificateholder, by its
acceptance of its Certificate, agrees to report its respective share of the
items of income, deductions, and credits of the Trust on its respective returns
(making such elections as to individual items as may be appropriate) in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.761-2(b) (the "761 Election") and
in a manner consistent with the exclusion of the Trust from partnership tax
accounting. The terms of the Agreement shall be interpreted to further these
intentions of the parties. In mutual consideration for each Certificateholder's
purchase of a Certificate, each such Certificateholder is deemed to agree not to
delegate (for a period of more than one year) authority to purchase, sell to
exchange its Certificate to any person.
21
Each Certificateholder (and each beneficial owner of a Certificate) by
acceptance of its Certificate (or its beneficial interest therein) agrees,
unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, to file its own tax
returns and reports in a manner consistent with the characterization indicated
above.
Section 31. Filing of Partnership Returns. In the event that the Trust is
characterized (by appropriate tax authorities) as a partnership for United
States federal income tax purposes, and the 761 Election is ineffective, the
Trustor agrees to reimburse the Trust for any expenses associated with the
filing of partnership returns (or returns related thereto).
Section 32. "Financial Assets" Election. The Securities Intermediary
hereby agrees that the Underlying Securities and any other property credited to
the Certificate Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" within the
meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
Section 33. Trustee's Entitlement Orders. If at any time the Securities
Intermediary shall receive any entitlement order from the Trustee with respect
to the Underlying Securities, the Certificate Account, or any property credited
to the Certificate Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such
entitlement order without further consent by the Trustor or any other Person.
The Securities Intermediary shall take all instructions (including without
limitation all notifications and entitlement orders) with respect to the
Certificate Account solely from the Trustee.
Section 34. Conflict with Other Agreements. The Securities Intermediary
hereby confirms and agrees that:
(a) There are no other agreements entered into between the Securities
Intermediary and the Trustor with respect to the Certificate Account. The
Certificate Account and all property credited to the Certificate Account is not
subject to, and the Securities Intermediary hereby waives, any lien, security
interest, right of set off, or encumbrance in favor of the Securities
Intermediary or any Person claiming though the Securities Intermediary (other
than the Trustee);
(b) It has not entered into, and until the termination of the Agreement
will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the
Certificate Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant to
which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders of any Person other than
the Trustee; and
(c) It has not entered into, and until the termination of the Agreement
will not enter into, any agreement with any Person purporting to limit or
condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with
entitlement orders as set forth in Section 32 hereof.
Section 35. Additional Trustee and Securities Intermediary
Representations. The Trustee and the Securities Intermediary each hereby
represents and warrants as follows:
(a) [Reserved];
22
(b) The Trustee and the Securities Intermediary each has not granted any
lien on the Underlying Securities nor are the Underlying Securities subject to
any lien on properties of the Trustee or the Securities Intermediary in its
individual capacity; the Trustee and the Securities Intermediary each has no
actual knowledge and has not received actual notice of any lien on the
Underlying Securities (other than any lien of the Trustee for the benefit of the
beneficiaries of the Trust Agreement); other than the interests of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders and the interests of the Warrantholders, the books
and records of the Trustee and the Securities Intermediary each do not identify
any Person as having an interest in the Underlying Securities; and
(c) The Trustee and the Securities Intermediary each makes no
representation as to (i) the validity, legality, sufficiency or enforceability
of any of the Underlying Securities or (ii) the collectability, insurability,
effectiveness or suitability of any of the Underlying Securities.
Section 36. [Reserved].
Section 37. Report to Certificateholders. Section 4.2 of the Base Trust
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the following line from paragraph (v):
"the current rating assigned by the Rating Agency thereon."
23
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Series Supplement
to be executed by their respective duly authorized officers as of the date first

CorTS(R)
evidencing an undivided beneficial interest in the Trust, as defined below, the
assets of which include 7.125% Debentures, due December 1, 2096, issued by
International Business Machines Corporation.
This CorTS does not represent an interest in or obligation of the Trustor or any
of its affiliates.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a nonassessable,
fully-paid, fractional undivided beneficial interest in CorTS(R) Trust VI For
IBM Debentures (the "Trust") formed by Structured Products Corp., as trustor
(the "Trustor").
The Trust was created pursuant to a Base Trust Agreement, dated as of
September 19, 2006 (as amended and supplemented, the "Agreement"), between the
Trustor and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, a national banking
association, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee (the
"Trustee"), as supplemented by the CorTS(R) Supplement 2006-2, dated as of
October 20, 2006 (the "Series Supplement" and, together with the Agreement,
the "Trust Agreement"), between the Trustor and the Trustee. This CorTS does not
purport to summarize the Trust Agreement and reference is hereby made to the
Trust Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and
obligations of the Trustee with respect hereto. A copy of the Trust Agreement
may be obtained from the Trustee by written request sent to the Corporate Trust
Office. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned
to them in the Trust Agreement.
This CorTS is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as
"CorTS(R) Callable Trust Certificates" (herein called the "CorTS"). This CorTS
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the Holder of this CorTS by virtue of
the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. The assets of
the Trust include the Underlying Securities and all proceeds of the Underlying
Securities. Additional Underlying Securities may be sold to the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust and additional CorTS may be authenticated and delivered from
time to time as provided in the Trust Agreement, which additional CorTS shall
rank pari passu with all other CorTS issued in accordance with the Series
Supplement.
Under the Trust Agreement, there shall be distributed on the dates
specified in the Trust Agreement (a "Distribution Date"), to the person in whose
name this CorTS is registered at the close of business on the related Record
Date, such CorTS Certificateholder's fractional undivided interest in the amount
of distributions of the Trust Assets to be distributed to CorTS
Certificateholders on such Distribution Date.
The distributions in respect of this CorTS are payable in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts as set forth in the Series
Supplement.
The Underlying Securities held by the Trust are subject to the rights of
the Warrantholders, as provided for in the Series Supplement, and each
Certificateholder, by accepting its CorTS, acknowledges such rights and the
possibility of an early redemption of the CorTS in accordance with the terms of
the Series Supplement.
It is the intent of the Trustor, the CorTS Certificateholders and the I/O
Certificateholders that the Trust will be classified as a grantor trust under
subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and failing that, as a partnership (other than a publicly traded
partnership treated as a corporation). In the event that the Trust is
characterized by appropriate tax authorities as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes, each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of its Certificate,
agrees to report its respective share of the items of income, deductions, and
credits of the Trust on its respective returns (making such elections as to
individual items as may be appropriate) in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.761-2(b) (i.e., in a manner consistent with the exclusion of the Trust
from partnership tax accounting). In mutual consideration for each
Certificateholder's purchase of a CorTS, each such Certificateholder is deemed
to agree not to delegate (for a period of more than one year) authority to
purchase, sell or exchange its Certificate to any person. Except as otherwise
required by appropriate taxing authorities, the Trustor and the Trustee, by
executing the Trust Agreement, and each CorTS Certificateholder, by acceptance
of a CorTS, agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with such
intentions and the provisions of the Trust Agreement shall be interpreted to
further these intentions of the parties.
Each CorTS Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a CorTS, covenants and
agrees that such CorTS Certificateholder shall not, prior to the date which is
one year and one day after the termination of the Trust Agreement, acquiesce,
petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trustor or the Trust to invoke the
process of any court or governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or
sustaining a case against the Trustor or the Trust under any federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law or appointing a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official
of the Trustor or the Trust or any substantial part of its property, or ordering
the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Trustor or the Trust.
The Trust Agreement permits the amendment thereof, in certain
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the CorTS.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed
by an authorized officer of the Trustee by manual signature, this CorTS shall
not entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or be
valid for any purpose.
A copy of the Trust Agreement is available upon request and all of its
terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part
hereof.
THIS CORTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this CorTS to be duly executed
by its manual or facsimile signature.

designated by the holder of this instrument (this "Call Warrant") at a purchase
price equal to the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price (as defined below), all
subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
D-1
Certain capitalized terms used in this Call Warrant are defined in Article
IV hereof; capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement; references to an "Exhibit"
are, unless otherwise specified, to one of the Exhibits attached to this Call
Warrant and references to a "Section" are, unless otherwise specified, to one of
the sections of this Call Warrant.
Article I
Exercise of Warrants
Section I.1 Manner of Exercise. (a) This Call Warrant may be exercised by
the holder hereof (each, a "Warrantholder"), in whole or in part, on any Warrant
Exercise Date, set forth in the prior written notice to the Warrant Agent and
the Trustee delivered at any time on or before the Business Day that is at least
fifteen (15) days before such Warrant Exercise Date (such Business Day upon
which such notice is delivered to the Warrant Agent, the "Warrant Exercise
Notice Date"), by surrender of this Call Warrant to the Warrant Agent at its
office set forth in Section VI.3 hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on such Warrant Exercise Date; provided that at the time such holder
delivers such notice to the Warrant Agent, such holder shall have made payment
to the Warrant Agent, by wire transfer or other immediately available funds
acceptable to the Warrant Agent, in the amount of the applicable Warrant
Exercise Purchase Price, in a manner such that funds are available to the
Warrant Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Warrant
Exercise Notice Date, and such holder shall, on the Warrant Exercise Date, be
entitled to delivery of the Underlying Securities with a principal amount equal
to $1,000 per Call Warrant purchased hereunder in accordance with this Article
I; provided further that the Warrantholder may not exercise this Call Warrant at
any time when such Warrantholder is insolvent, and in connection therewith, such
Warrantholder shall be required to certify that it is solvent at the time of
exercise and settlement, by completing the Form of Subscription attached to this
Call Warrant and delivering such completed Form of Subscription to the Trustee
on or prior to the Warrant Exercise Date.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall notify the Trustee immediately upon receipt by
the Warrant Agent of a notice by the holder of this Call Warrant and upon
receipt of payment of the applicable Warrant Exercise Purchase Price from such
holder on the Warrant Exercise Notice Date pursuant to clause (a) of this
Section I.1. The Warrant Agent shall transfer each payment made by the holder
hereof pursuant to clause (a) of this Section I.1 to the Trustee in immediately
available funds, for application pursuant to the Trust Agreement no later than
12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Warrant Exercise Date. Pending
transfer of the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price to the Trustee on the applicable
Warrant Exercise Date, the Warrant Agent shall hold the Warrant Exercise
Purchase Price in a segregated trust account for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
(c) If the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price from
the Warrantholder as provided in clause (a) of this Section I.1 by 11:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on the Warrant Exercise Notice Date, the notice of exercise
given on such Warrant Exercise Notice Date shall be irrevocable and
unconditional. If, by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Warrant Exercise
Notice Date, the Warrant Agent has not received the Warrant Exercise Purchase
Price from the Warrantholder as provided in clause (a) of this Section I.1, then
the notice of exercise given on such Warrant Exercise Notice Date shall be
deemed to be invalid and none of the holder of such Call Warrant, the Warrant
Agent and the Trustee shall have any obligations with respect to such notice by
the holder of such Call Warrant. The expiration of a notice by the holder of
this Call Warrant shall in no way affect a holder of a Call Warrant's right to
subsequently deliver a notice which satisfies the terms of the Trust Agreement.
D-2
(d) Upon the occurrence of a redemption of the Underlying Securities by
the Underlying Issuer (whether such redemption occurs before or after October
20, 2011), Call Warrants proportionate to the amount of Underlying Securities to
be redeemed will, (i) if In-the-Money, be deemed to be exercised on a pro rata
basis for each holder of Call Warrants, and will be cash-settled for an amount
equal to any remaining redemption proceeds after the payments made pursuant to
clause (i) through (iii) in Section 10(g) of the Trust Agreement, or (ii) if not
In-the-Money, expire worthless on a pro rata basis for each Warrantholder as the
result of which the number of outstanding Warrants held by each Warrantholder is
reduced proportionately so that the amount of Underlying Securities callable by
the exercise of Call Warrants equals the amount of Underlying Securities still
owned by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.
(e) The Call Warrants will become immediately exercisable upon the
occurrence of an SEC Reporting Failure (whether such SEC Reporting Failure
occurs before or after October 20, 2011) and, if the Call Warrants are (i)
In-the-Money or At-the-Money, shall be deemed to be exercised without further
action by the Warrantholders and cash settled concurrently with the distribution
to Certificateholders, as provided in Section 10(j) of the Trust Agreement, or
(ii) not In-the-Money or At-the-Money, to the extent the Warrantholders fail to
exercise their Call Warrants, shall expire worthless.
(f) In the event that the Trustee receives money in respect of the
Underlying Securities as a result of a Payment Default on, or an Acceleration
of, the Underlying Securities, the Call Warrants, if (i) In-the-Money, shall be
deemed to be exercised without further action by the Warrantholders and cash
settled concurrently with the distribution to Certificateholders, as provided in
Section 10(c) of the Trust Agreement, or (ii) not In-the-Money, shall expire
worthless.
Section I.2 Transfer of Underlying Securities. As soon as practicable
after each surrender of this Call Warrant, in whole or in part, and no later
than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Warrant Exercise Date and upon
satisfaction of all other requirements described in this Call Warrant, the
Warrant Agent shall instruct the Trustee to cause Underlying Securities
proportionate to the number of Warrants being exercised hereunder to be
registered on the book-entry system of the related depositary in the registered
name or names furnished by the holder, and, in case such exercise is in part
only, a new Call Warrant of like tenor, representing the remaining outstanding
Warrants of the holder, shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the holder
hereof. The Trustee shall cause the delivery of such portion of the Underlying
Securities to the holder or its nominee no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on the applicable Warrant Exercise Date in accordance with Section 8(c) of
the Trust Agreement.
Section I.3 Cancellation and Destruction of Call Warrant. All Call
Warrants surrendered to the Warrant Agent for the purpose of exercise (in whole
or in part) pursuant to Section I.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 Call Warrant shall be issued in lieu thereof (other than
that reflecting any such transfer or exchange). The Warrant Agent shall destroy
all cancelled Call Warrants.
D-3
Section I.4 No Rights as Holder of Underlying Securities Conferred by
Warrants. Prior to the exercise hereof, this Call Warrant shall not entitle the
holder hereof to any of the rights of a holder of the Underlying Securities,
including, without limitation, the right to receive the payment of any amount on
or in respect of the Underlying Securities or to enforce any of the covenants of
the Trust Agreement.
Article II
Restrictions on Transfer
Section II.1 Restrictive Legends. Except as otherwise permitted by this
Article II, each Call Warrant (including each Call Warrant issued upon the
transfer of any Call Warrant) shall be issued with a legend in substantially the
following form:
"This Call Warrant has not been, and the Warrants represented hereby have
not been, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not
be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of except while a registration under
such Act is in effect or pursuant to an exemption therefrom under such Act. This
Call Warrant and any Warrant represented hereby may be transferred only in
compliance with the conditions specified in this Call Warrant and may not be
transferred to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or Structured Products Corp."
Section II.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinions of Counsel. Prior to
any transfer of any Call Warrant or portion thereof, the holder hereof will give
five (5) Business Days (or such lesser period acceptable to the Warrant Agent)
prior written notice to the Warrant Agent of such holder's intention to effect
such transfer and to comply in all other respects with this Section II.2. Each
transfer of a portion of a Call Warrant must be for a whole number of Warrants.
(a) If such transfer of Call Warrants is being made pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act, as a condition precedent to the proposed transfer, the
prospective transferee must certify that it is a "qualified institutional buyer"
as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act; and
(b) If such transfer of Call Warrants is not being made pursuant to Rule
144A, each notice of a proposed transfer (i) shall describe the manner and
circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail to enable counsel
for the holder to render the opinions referred to below, and (ii) shall
designate counsel for the holder giving such notice. The holder giving such
notice will submit a copy thereof to the counsel designated in such notice. If
(A) in the opinion of such counsel for the holder the proposed transfer may be
effected without registration of such Call Warrant under the Securities Act
(such opinion stating the basis for such determination) and (B) such opinion is
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustor and the Warrant
Agent, such holder shall thereupon be entitled to transfer such Call Warrant in
accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such holder to the Warrant
Agent. No such opinion of counsel shall be required in the event the transfer is
being made to a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under
the Securities Act as contemplated in clause (a) of this Section II.2.
D-4
Each instrument representing such Call Warrant or portion thereof issued
upon or in connection with such transfer shall bear the restrictive legend
required by Section II.1, unless the Warrant Agent shall have received an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Trustor
that such legend is no longer required to ensure compliance with the Securities
Act.
Article III
Registration and Transfer of Call Warrants, etc.
Section III.1 Warrant Register; Ownership of Call Warrants. The Warrant
Agent will keep a register in which the Warrant Agent will provide for the
registration of Call Warrants and the registration of transfers of Call Warrants
representing whole numbers of Warrants. The Trustee and the Warrant Agent may
treat the Person in whose name any Call Warrant is registered on such register

issued by International Business Machines Corporation.
F-1
This I/O Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of
the Trustor or any of its affiliates.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a nonassessable,
fully-paid, fractional undivided beneficial interest in CorTS(R) Trust VI For
IBM Debentures (the "Trust") formed by Structured Products Corp., as trustor
(the "Trustor").
The Trust was created pursuant to a Base Trust Agreement, dated as of
September 19, 2006 (as amended and supplemented, the "Agreement"), between the
Trustor and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, a national banking
association, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee (the
"Trustee"), as supplemented by the CorTS(R) Supplement 2006-2, dated as of
October 20, 2006 (the "Series Supplement" and, together with the Agreement, the
"Trust Agreement"), between the Trustor and the Trustee. This I/O Certificate
does not purport to summarize the Trust Agreement and reference is hereby made
to the Trust Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights,
benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights,
duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect hereto. A copy of the Trust
Agreement may be obtained from the Trustee by written request sent to the
Corporate Trust Office. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.
This I/O Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated
as "CorTS(R)-I/O Certificates" (herein called the "I/O Certificate" or "I/O
Certificates"). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the
Holder of this I/O Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound. The assets of the Trust include the Underlying
Securities and all proceeds of the Underlying Securities. Additional Underlying
Securities may be sold to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and additional I/O
Certificates may be authenticated and delivered from time to time as provided in
the Trust Agreement, which additional I/O Certificates shall rank pari passu
with all other I/O Certificates issued in accordance with the Series Supplement.
Under the Trust Agreement, there shall be distributed on the dates
specified in the Trust Agreement (a "Distribution Date"), to the person in whose
name this I/O Certificate is registered at the close of business on the related
Record Date, such I/O Certificateholder's fractional undivided beneficial
interest in the amount of interest distributions of the Trust Assets to be
distributed to I/O Certificateholders on such Distribution Date. The I/O
Certificates will mature on December 1, 2096.
The distributions in respect of this I/O Certificate are payable in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts as set forth in the Series
Supplement.
The Underlying Securities owned by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust are
subject to rights of the Warrantholders, as provided for in the Series
Supplement, and each Certificateholder, by accepting its I/O Certificate,
acknowledges such rights and the possibility of an early redemption of the I/O
Certificates in accordance with the terms of the Series Supplement.
F-2
It is the intent of the Trustor, the CorTS Certificateholders and the I/O
Certificateholders that the Trust will be classified as a grantor trust under
subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and failing that, as a partnership (other than a publicly traded
partnership treated as a corporation). In the event that the Trust is
characterized by appropriate tax authorities as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes, each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of its Certificate,
agrees to report its respective share of the items of income, deductions, and
credits of the Trust on its respective returns (making such elections as to
individual items as may be appropriate) in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.761-2(b) (i.e., in a manner consistent with the exclusion of the Trust
from partnership tax accounting). In mutual consideration for each
Certificateholder's purchase of a Certificate, each such Certificateholder is
deemed to agree not to delegate (for a period of more than one year) authority
to purchase, sell or exchange its Certificate to any person. Except as otherwise
required by appropriate taxing authorities, the Trustor and the Trustee, by
executing the Trust Agreement, and each I/O Certificateholder, by acceptance of
a I/O Certificate, agrees to take no action inconsistent with such intentions
and the provisions of the Trust Agreement shall be interpreted to further these
intentions of the parties.
Each I/O Certificateholder, by its acceptance of an Certificate, covenants
and agrees that such I/O Certificateholder shall not, prior to the date which is
one year and one day after the termination of the Trust Agreement, acquiesce,
petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trustor or the Trust to invoke the
process of any court or governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or
sustaining a case against the Trustor or the Trust under any federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law or appointing a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official
of the Trustor or the Trust or any substantial part of its property, or ordering
the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Trustor or the Trust.
The Trust Agreement permits the amendment thereof, in certain
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the I/O
Certificates.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed
by an authorized officer of the Trustee by manual signature, this I/O
Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
A copy of the Trust Agreement is available upon request and all of its
terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part
hereof.
THIS I/O CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
