(b) Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account and amounts available pursuant to any other Credit Support for such Series shall be applied by the Trustee to make distributions of principal of and premium (if any) and interest on the Certificates of such Series as required pursuant to Section 4.01 and the applicable Series Supplement to the extent that funds are not otherwise available for such purpose. If specified in such Series Supplement, immediately after each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account for such Series in excess of a specified amount shall be paid to the Person so specified in such Series Supplement. Section 3.07 Realization upon Defaulted Underlying Securities. (a) The Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, shall assert claims under each applicable Credit Support Instrument, and shall take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery thereunder with respect to any defaulted Underlying Securities, subject in all cases to the provisions of Article VII hereof. (b) Unless otherwise provided in the related Series Supplement, if the Trustee, is unable to obtain full recovery in respect of a defaulted Underlying Security and any related Credit Support Instrument pursuant to Section 3.07(a), the Trustee shall follow or cause to be followed such normal practices and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable to realize upon such defaulted Underlying Security and such Credit Support Instrument, subject in all cases to the provisions of Article VII hereof. (c) If the Liquidation Proceeds of a defaulted Underlying Security are less than the sum of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the defaulted Underlying Security, (ii) interest accrued but unpaid thereon at the applicable interest rate and (iii) the aggregate amount of expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the practices and procedures referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.07 to the extent reimbursable under these Standard Terms and the related Series Supplement, the Trust for the applicable Series shall recognize a Realized Loss equal to the amount of such difference. Any such reimbursed Realized Loss shall be allocated pursuant to Section 4.05 among the Certificateholders of such Series in the manner and priority set forth in the related Series Supplement. -25- (d) With respect to any Underlying Securities, if specified in a related Series Supplement, if any related document or instrument is found to be missing or defective in any material respect, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Depositor and the Underlying Securities Issuer who sold the applicable Underlying Securities to the Depositor. If and to the extent specified in the related Series Supplement, if the Underlying Securities Issuer cannot cure such omission or defect within 60 days after receipt of such notice, the Underlying Securities Issuer will be obligated, within 90 days of receipt of such notice, to repurchase the related Underlying Securities from the Trustee at the Purchase Price or provide a substitute for such Underlying Securities. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall be obligated to repurchase or provide a substitute for such Underlying Securities if the Underlying Securities Issuer defaults on its obligations. Unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, if applicable, the Underlying Securities Issuer's repurchase or substitution obligation constitutes the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee for omission of, or a material defect in, or failure to provide, a constituent document. Section 3.08 Retained Interest. The Retained Interest, if any, in any Underlying Security shall initially be held by the Person so specified in the related Series Supplement as and to the extent specified therein. With respect to each Underlying Security, unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, the Retained Interest shall be deducted by the Trustee from applicable collections in respect of such Underlying Security. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, collections in respect of Retained Interest shall not be deposited in the Certificate Account for the applicable Series and shall not constitute a part of the Trust for such Series, but shall instead be distributed to the holder of such Retained Interest; provided, however, that the Series Supplement for any Series with respect to which there is a Retained Interest may provide that, notwithstanding the terms contained herein, commingled amounts received in respect of assets inclusive of Underlying Securities and Retained Interest may initially be deposited in a separate and discrete account established by the Trustee and such Series Supplement may provide for additional terms relating thereto. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, after deduction of all applicable fees as provided for in this Trust Agreement, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall allocate on a pari passu basis any partial recovery on an Underlying Security between (a) the Retained Interest, if any, and (b) distributions to Certificateholders of the applicable Series. Section 3.09 Access to Certain Documentation. The Trustee shall provide to any Federal, State or local regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder access to the documentation regarding the Underlying Securities required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Trustee designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Underlying Securities related to a given Series (or Class within such Series) will be provided to any Certificateholder of such Series (or Class) upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Trustee designated by it at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting such access. Section 3.10 Reports by the Depositor. The Depositor shall: (a) file with the Trustee, within 30 days after the Depositor is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents -26- and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe), if any, which the Depositor is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Depositor is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such sections, then to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports, if any, which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed in such rules and regulations; provided, however, that the Trustee shall file the reports specified in Section 7.01(e) hereof; (b) file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Depositor with the conditions and covenants provided for in this Trust Agreement, as may be required by such rules and regulations; (c) transmit to all Certificateholders, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 3.10 as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission; and (d) furnish to the Trustee, not less often than annually, a certificate from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Depositor as to his or her knowledge of the Depositor's compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Trust Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph (d) such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Trust Agreement. Any reports, statements, documents or other information required to be furnished by the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to these Standard Terms or any Series Supplement shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee if the Trustee is in possession of such reports, statements, documents or other information at the time they are to be furnished pursuant to these Standard Terms or any Series Supplement. Section 3.11 Charges and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement or the related Series Supplement, no amounts in the nature of fees or charges shall be payable by or withheld from the Trust, the Depositor or any other person. There shall be no recourse or claim against the Trust or the property of the Trust for all or any part of any fees or charges payable to any person. Section 3.12 Underlying Securities Reporting Failure. In the event that an issuer of an Underlying Security the outstanding principal balance of which exceeds ten percent of the aggregate principal balance of the Underlying Securities (or the issuers of Underlying Securities the combined principal balances of which exceed ten percent of the aggregate principal balance of the Underlying Securities) underlying a Series of Certificates ceases to file periodic reports required under the Exchange Act, the Depositor shall within a reasonable period of time either (i) file periodic reports containing the information that such issuer(s) would otherwise file or (ii) instruct the Trustee to make a distribution in-kind within a reasonable period -27- of time such Underlying Security or Securities to Certificateholders of pro rata in proportion to their outstanding Certificate Principal Balances, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement. If, as a result of the minimum denominations of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee cannot make a distribution in-kind to the Certificateholders, the Trustee will be permitted to sell such minimum principal amount of the Underlying Securities as will be necessary in order to allow a cash distribution to those Certificateholders who cannot receive a distribution in kind, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Series Supplement that are applicable to a default on the Underlying Securities. An issuer of an Underlying Security shall not be deemed to have ceased filing required periodic reports for this purpose merely because reporting by such issuer is delayed or temporarily suspended. Accordingly, the requirements of (i) and (ii) above shall not apply unless an Underlying Securities issuer (or combined issuers as aforesaid) either (x) states in writing that it intends permanently to cease filing reports required under the Exchange Act or (y) fails to file any required reports for one full calendar year. ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS AND REPORTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS Section 4.01 Distributions. (a) On each Distribution Date for a given Series of Certificates, the Trustee shall apply Available Funds in the Certificate Account for such Series in the manner and priority set forth in the Series Supplement for such Series. In any event, however, any amounts collected during any period shall be distributed to the Certificateholders and, if applicable, to the Swap Counterparty, no later than the Distribution Date immediately following the receipt thereof. (b) All distributions on the Certificates shall be payable only from Available Funds, and no provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to create any obligation on the part of the Trustee or the Depositor to make any distribution from any other source. Section 4.02 Distributions on Certificates. (a) Distributions on any Registered Certificate that are payable and are punctually paid or duly provided for on any Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Person in whose name such Registered Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Certificates) is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Registered Certificate upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to such related Record Date. The distribution of interest and principal on Registered Certificates shall be made: (i) if the Certificateholder is a Depository, to the Depository, which shall credit the relevant Participant's account at such Depository in accordance with the policies and procedure of the Depository, or (ii) if the Certificateholder is not a Depository, at the Corporate Trust Office (except as otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement) or, at the option of the Trustee, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Certificate Register or, if provided in the related Series Supplement and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the option of the -28- Registered Holder by wire transfer to an account designated by the Registered Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, with respect to a Certificateholder of Certificates not held in a Depository and having at least the Minimum Wire Denomination, such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such Certificateholder in a written request received by the Trustee not later than 10 days prior to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that if a wire transfer cannot be made for any reason, payment shall be made by check. The Trustee shall not be required to send federal funds wires until any corresponding payments which were not same day funds when received by it have become same day funds. In case a Coupon Certificate of any Series (or Class within such Series) is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Certificate of such Series or Class after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Distribution for such Series or Class) on any Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Distribution Date, such Coupon Certificate shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Distribution Date and interest will not be payable on such Distribution Date in respect of the Registered Certificate issued in exchange for such Coupon Certificate, but will be distributable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement. (b) Interest on any Coupon Certificate that is distributable and is punctually distributed or duly provided for on any Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Holder of the Coupon that has matured on such Distribution Date upon surrender of such Coupon on such Distribution Date at the principal London office of the Trustee or at such other Place of Distribution outside the United States specified in the related Series Supplement. Interest on any Bearer Certificate (other than a Coupon Certificate) that is distributable and is punctually distributed or duly provided for on any Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Holder of the Bearer Certificate upon presentation of such Bearer Certificate and notation thereon on such Distribution Date at the principal London office of the Trustee or at such other Place of Distribution outside the United States specified in the related Series Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, at the direction of the holder of any Bearer Certificate or Coupon Certificate payable in Dollars, and subject to applicable laws and regulations, distributions in respect of such Bearer Certificate or Coupon will be made by check drawn on a bank in The City of New York or, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by wire transfer to a Dollar account maintained by such Holder with a bank outside the United States. If such distribution at the offices of the Trustee or all Paying Agents, if any, outside the United States becomes illegal or is effectively precluded because of the imposition of exchange controls or similar restrictions on the full distribution or receipt of such amounts in Dollars, the Depositor will appoint an office or agent in the United States at which such distribution may be made. Unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, at the direction of the Holder of any Bearer Certificate or Coupon payable in a Foreign Currency, distributions on such Bearer Certificate or Coupon will be made by a check drawn on a bank outside the United States or, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the -29- Trustee, by wire transfer to an appropriate account maintained by such Holder outside the United States. Except as provided in this paragraph, no distribution on any Bearer Certificate or Coupon will be made by mail to an address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained by the Holder thereof in the United States. (c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02, each Certificate delivered under this Trust Agreement upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Certificate shall carry the rights to interest accrued and undistributed, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Certificate. (d) All computations of interest due with respect to any Certificate of any Series or Class within such Series shall be made as specified in the Series Supplement applicable to that particular Series or Class of Certificates. (e) With respect to any computations or calculations to be made under these Standard Terms, the applicable Series Supplement and the Certificates, except as otherwise provided, (i) all percentages resulting from any calculation of accrued interest will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1% (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, and (ii) all currency amounts will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit (with .005 of a unit being rounded upward). (f) Unless specified otherwise in a Series Supplement, the final distribution of principal and/or premium shall be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office. Section 4.03 Reports to Certificateholders. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, on the next Business Day following each such Distribution Date the Trustee shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Depositor, each Certificateholder of such Series, to each Rating Agency rating such Series and such other Persons as may be specified in such Series Supplement, a statement setting forth: (i) the amounts received by the Trustee as of the last such statement in respect of principal, interest and premium on the Underlying Securities and the Swap Receipt Amount, if any; (ii) the Swap Distribution Amount, if any, for such date; (iii) the amount of the distribution on such Distribution Date to Certificateholders of each Class of such Series allocable to principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates of each such Class; and the amount of aggregate unpaid interest accrued as of such Distribution Date; (iv) in the case of each Class of Floating Rate Certificates of such Series, the respective Floating Pass-Through Rate applicable to each such Class on such Distribution Date, as calculated in accordance with the method specified in such Certificates and the related Series Supplement; -30- (v) the amount of compensation received by the Trustee for the period relating to such Distribution Date, and such other customary information as the Trustee deems necessary or desirable, (or that any such Certificateholder reasonably requests,) to enable such Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns; (vi) if the Series Supplement provides for Advances, the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, included in such distribution, and the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, at the close of business on such Distribution Date; (vii) the aggregate stated principal amount and, if applicable, notional amount of the Underlying Securities related to such Series, the current rating assigned by the Rating Agency thereon and the current interest rate or rates thereon at the close of business on such Distribution Date; (viii) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance (or Notional Amount, if applicable) of each Class of such series at the close of business on such Distribution Date, separately identifying any reduction in such aggregate Certificate Principal Balance (or Notional Amount) due to the allocation of any Realized Losses on such Distribution Date or otherwise; and (ix) as to any Series (or any Class within such Series) for which Credit Support has been obtained, the amount or notional amount of coverage of each element of Credit Support (and rating, if any, thereof) included therein as of the close of business on such Distribution Date. In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (iii) and (v) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount (or the equivalent thereof in any other Specified Currency) per minimum denomination of Certificates or for such other specified portion thereof. Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall furnish to each Person who at any time during each such calendar year was a Certificateholder a statement containing the information set forth in subclauses (iii) and (v) above, aggregated for such calendar year or the applicable portion thereof during which such person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as are from time to time in effect. The Trustee shall supply to Certificateholders who so request all materials received by the Trustee from the Underlying Securities Issuer. Section 4.04 Advances. (a) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make Advances (as defined below) with respect to the Underlying Securities or in favor of the Holders of any Series (or Class within such Series) of Certificates. (b) However, as and to the extent provided in the Series Supplement for a given Series, and subject to the terms of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 4.04, on or prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall advance or cause to be advanced in immediately available funds for deposit in the Certificate Account for such Series an advance (each, an -31- "Advance") in an amount equal, unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, to the aggregate of distributions of principal, premium (if any) and interest (net of related administration fees and any Retained Interest) due on the Underlying Securities for such Series (or Class) during the related Collection Period, to the extent remaining unpaid at the time of such Advance. In satisfaction of its obligation to make such Advances, the Trustee shall make such Advances from its own funds. The Trustee may recover Advances from late collections received by the Trustee on the applicable Underlying Securities, proceeds from any applicable Credit Support, if any, and Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Underlying Securities for such Series or Class, as specified in the related Series Supplement, as to which any such unreimbursed Advance was made. (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if the Trustee reasonably believes that it will be unable to recover such Advance from related late collections, Credit Support proceeds, if any, or Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the applicable Underlying Securities. It is further understood and agreed that the Trustee shall not be obligated to make any Advances in respect of reductions in the amount of collections on the Underlying Securities due to bankruptcy proceedings with respect to the Underlying Securities or the obligors thereof. (d) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, unless otherwise provided in the Series Supplement for a given Series, any Advances made in respect of any Underlying Securities related to such Series (or Class within such Series) that are subsequently deemed by the Trustee to be nonrecoverable from related late collections, Credit Support proceeds, if any, or Liquidation Proceeds may be reimbursed to the Trustee through the application of amounts on deposit in the Certificate Amount for such series allocable to any of such Underlying Securities prior to the distributions of interest, premium (if any) and principal with respect to the Certificates of such Series or Class. Section 4.05 Allocation of Realized Losses and Trust Expenses. With respect to any Series of Certificates, the manner and priority of the allocation of Realized Losses, Administrative Fees, Eligible Expenses, Allowable Expense Amounts and Extraordinary Trust Expenses, if any, on any Distribution Date among the Classes, if any, of such Series shall be as set forth in the related Series Supplement. Section 4.06 Payments of Taxes and Other Governmental Charges. (a) The Trustee shall request, and Certificateholders shall provide, all appropriate tax certifications and forms necessary to enable the Trust or its agents, to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to pay, deduct or withhold in respect of the Certificates under any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any law or regulation, and to pay, deduct or withhold any such taxes or charges and remit them to the relevant taxing authorities as required under law. Such certification shall take the form of a correct, complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8IMY, or W-9 (or any successors thereto), including appropriate attachments, as applicable, that identifies such Certificateholder. -32- (b) If such forms are not provided or if any tax or other governmental charge shall otherwise become payable by or on behalf of the Trustee, including any tax or governmental charge required to be withheld from any payment made by the Trustee under the provisions of any applicable law or regulation with respect to any Underlying Securities or the Certificates, such tax or governmental charge shall be payable by the Certificateholder and may be withheld by the Trustee. The Depositor and the Trustee shall have the right to refuse the surrender, registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate with respect to which such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable until such payment shall have been made by the Certificateholder. Section 4.07 Annual Statements; Tax Returns. The [Trustee] [Depositor] shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) all federal, state and local tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Trust and the Trustee shall sign such returns, or any other information, statements or schedules, and the Trustee shall file, on a timely basis, such returns and any other information, statements or schedules, as may be required under applicable tax laws. In this regard, the [Trustee] [Depositor] shall, to the extent required to do so, prepare (or cause to be prepared) and the [Trustee] [Depositor] shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to each Certificateholder and to the Internal Revenue Service and state and local taxing authorities, as applicable, such information, forms and reports as may be required by applicable law. Upon request, after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall deliver to each Person who was a Certificateholder at any time during such calendar year a report, containing any information required for such Certificateholder to determine their U.S. federal income tax liability with respect to such Certificate for such calendar year or, in the event that such Person was a Certificateholder for only a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable portion of such year. Section 4.08 Compliance with Treasury Regulations with respect to Certificates and Underlying Securities Issued in Bearer Form. (a) Any Certificates issued in bearer form shall be issued in compliance with U.S. Treasury regulations section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D) and other U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations regarding Certificates issued in bearer form, Accordingly, the Trust shall have in place procedures reasonably designed to ensure that any Certificates issued in bearer form will be sold only to persons who are not United States persons, interest on such bearer form Certificates will only be payable outside the United States and its possessions, and the face of such bearer form Certificates will contain a statement that any United States person who holds such bearer form Certificates will be subject to limitations under the U.S. income tax laws, including the limitations provided in sections 165(j) and 1287(a) of the Code. (b) The Underlying Securities may be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as "registration-required obligations" that are in bearer and not registered form (the "Bearer Bonds"). To avoid certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with registration-required obligations in bearer form, the Trustee will distribute (including a transfer by book entry) Bearer Bonds only upon delivery to the Trustee by the beneficial owner of Certificates of certification (i) that such beneficial owner is not a "United States person" (as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) and takes delivery of such Bearer Bonds outside the United States, or otherwise (ii) is a financial institution (as defined in the Treasury Regulations) purchasing the Bearer Bonds for its own account, for the account of another financial institution, or for the account of an exempt organization, and the financial institution receiving a distribution of such Bearer Bonds represents that it will comply with the requirements of section 165(j) (3)(A), (B) or (C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If the Trustee does not receive such certification from a beneficial owner of Certificates within a reasonable period of time, the Trustee will be permitted to sell, in accordance with the Sale Procedures, the Bearer Bonds which would have been distributed upon delivery of such certification and shall distribute the net proceeds received from the sale of such Bearer Bonds to the Certificateholder entitled thereto. By purchasing an interest in a Certificate, Certificateholders are deemed to have agreed to these arrangements. Section 4.09 Tax Elections. (a) Unless the related Series Supplement provides that the Trust shall not be treated as a grantor trust, the Trust hereby makes a protective election under section 761 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") to be excluded from Subchapter K of the Code, in the event that the Trust is not treated as a grantor trust. The Trust shall not make an election under Treasury regulations section 301.7701-3(c) to treat the Trust as an association taxable as a corporation. (b) Unless the related Series Supplement provides that the Trust shall not be treated as a grantor trust, in the event that the Trust is not treated as a grantor trust and the Trust's protective election to be excluded from Subchapter K is not respected for federal income tax purposes: (1) The Trust shall cause partnership tax returns to be timely filed for each taxable year and shall cause Schedules K-1 to be timely provided to the Certificateholders. Capital accounts shall be maintained for each Certificateholder in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code reflecting each such Certificateholder's share of the income, gains, deductions, and losses of the Trust and contributions to and distributions from the Trust; (2) In the event that a "tax matters partner" (within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code) is required to be appointed with respect to the Trust, the Certificateholder selected by a majority of the Certificateholders (by beneficial interest) shall be designated as the tax matters partner, and in the absence of such designation, such partner shall be designated under Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and the regulations thereunder; (3) Unless prohibited by Section 706 of the Code, the taxable year of the Trust shall be the calendar year; (4) The Trust shall cause to be filed with the initial and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent partnership tax return an election under Section 754 of the Code and the regulations thereunder to adjust the basis of any Trust property in the event of a distribution of Trust property or a transfer of Certificates; (5) Unless otherwise required by the Code, if a Certificate is transferred then, for the calendar year of the transfer, any interest on Trust property and expected fees and expenses shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee based on the number of days in the calendar year preceding and including the date of transfer, on the one hand, and following the transfer, on the other. All other items of income and loss shall be allocated to the transferee. The Trust will report allocations of partnership items consistently with this provision, and Certificateholders, through their investment in the Trust, hereby consent to this allocation methodology. Section 4.10 Optional Exchange. (a) The terms and conditions, if any, upon which Certificates of any Series (or Class within such Series) may be exchanged for a pro rata portion of the Underlying Securities of the related Trust will be specified in the related Series Supplement; provided, however, that any right of exchange shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Depositor provides upon the Trustee's request an opinion of Counsel that (i) such exchange would not be inconsistent with the Depositor's and the Trustee's continued satisfaction of the applicable requirements for exemption under Rule 3a-7 (or other applicable rule or exemption) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and all applicable rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder and (ii) such exchange would not affect the characterization of the Trust as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes. Such terms may relate to, but are not limited to, the following: (1) a requirement that the exchanging Holder tender to the Trustee Certificates of each Class within such Series; (2) a minimum Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, with respect to Certificates being tendered for exchange by a single Holder: -33- (3) a requirement that the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of each certificate tendered for exchange be an integral multiple of an amount specified in such Series Supplement; (4) specified dates during which a Holder may effect such an exchange (each, an "Optional Exchange Date"); (5) limitations on the right of an exchanging Holder to receive any benefit upon exchange from any Credit Support or Underlying Securities which are not debt Securities; and (6) adjustments to the value of the proceeds of any exchange based upon required prepayment of future expense allocations and the establishment of a reserve for any anticipated Extraordinary Trust Expenses. (b) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, no Certificate may be exchanged pursuant to the preceding paragraph unless the Trustee has received at least 30 days but not more than 45 days prior to an Optional Exchange Date in accordance with delivery instructions specified in the applicable Series Supplement (i) such Certificate with the form entitled "Option to Elect Exchange" on the reverse thereof duly completed, or (ii) in the case of Registered Certificates, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Depository (in accordance with its normal procedures) or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of such Registered Certificate, the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Registered Certificate to be exchanged and the Certificate number or a description of the tenor and the terms of such Registered Certificate, a statement that the option to elect exchange is being exercised thereby and an assurance that the Registered Certificate to be exchanged with the form entitled "Option to Elect Exchange" on the reverse of the Registered Certificate duly completed will be received by such Trustee not later than five Business Days after the date at such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter, and such Registered Certificate and form duly completed must be received by such Trustee by such fifth Business Day. Any tender of a Certificate by the Holder thereof for exchange shall be irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, the exchange option may be exercised pursuant to this Section by the Holder of a Certificate for less than the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Certificate as long as the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount remaining Outstanding after such exchange is an authorized denomination and all other exchange requirements set forth in the related Series Supplement are satisfied upon such partial exchange such Certificate shall be cancelled and a new Certificate or Certificates for the remaining Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount thereof shall be issued (which, in the case of any Registered Certificate, shall be in the name of the Holder of such exchanged Certificate). (c) Upon the completion of any such optional exchange, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Rating Agency. -34- ARTICLE V THE CERTIFICATES Section 5.01 The Certificates. (a) The Certificates of any Series (or Class within such Series) may be issued in (x) fully registered form as Registered Certificates or (y) bearer form with or without Coupons as Bearer Certificates, and shall be substantially in the form of the exhibits with respect thereto attached to the applicable Series Supplement. The Certificates may be issued in one or more Series, each of which Series may, subject to the provisions of the Code and the intended status of each Series Trust to constitute a fixed investment trust for federal income tax purposes, be issued in one or more Classes, with such further particular designation added or incorporated in such title for the Certificates of any particular Series or Class within such Series as the Depositor may determine. Each Certificate and Coupon shall bear upon its face the designation so selected for the Series and Class to which it belongs. All Certificates and all Coupons of the same Series and Class shall be identical in all respects except for the denominations thereof. All Certificates of all Classes within any one Series at any time Outstanding shall be identical except for differences among the Certificates of the different Classes within such Series specified in the applicable Series Supplement. Except as otherwise provided in a Series Supplement, all Certificates of a particular Series (and all Classes within such Series) issued under this Trust Agreement shall be in all respects equally and ratably entitled to the benefits hereof without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Trust Agreement. (b) Each Series (and all Classes within such Series) of Certificates shall be created by a Series Supplement authorized by the Depositor and establishing the terms and provisions of such Series. The several Series may, subject to the provisions of the Code and the intended status of each Trust to constitute a fixed investment trust for federal income tax purposes, differ as between Series and any given Class may vary as between the other Classes within any given Series. Section 5.02 Execution, Authentication and Delivery. (a) The Certificates and the Coupons, if any, shall be executed by the Depositor by its President, its Treasurer, or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal, which may be in facsimile form and imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon and shall be attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers may be manual or facsimile. Certificates and Coupons bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individual who were at any time the proper officers of the Depositor shall be binding, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or Coupons or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates and Coupons. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee, upon written direction by the Depositor, will, with respect to any Series, execute any related Certificates. (b) Each Certificate shall be dated as of the later of the date specified in the related Series Supplement and the date of its authentication. -35- (c) No Certificate or Coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under this Trust Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in one of the forms provided for herein or in the form of Certificate attached to the related Series Supplement executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate (and any Coupons appertaining thereto) has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement. Except as permitted by Section 5.04, 5.05 or 5.06, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Certificate unless all appurtenant Coupons then matured have been detached and cancelled. Section 5.03 Temporary Certificates. Pending the preparation of Definitive Certificates of any Series (or Class within each such Series), the Depositor may execute, and upon receipt of a Depositor Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as may be authorized by such Depositor Order. Any such temporary Certificate may be in global form, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Certificates of such Series or Class. Every such temporary Certificate shall be executed by the Depositor and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Definitive Certificate or Definitive Certificates in lieu of which is issued. If temporary Certificates of any Series (or Class within such Series) are issued, the Depositor will cause Definitive Certificates of such Series or Class to be prepared without unreasonable delay. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement with respect to a Series (or Class within such Series) of Certificates issuable as Bearer Certificates or as one or more Global Securities representing individual Bearer Certificates of such Series or Class, (a) after the preparation of Definitive Certificates of such Series or Class, the temporary Certificates of such Series or Class shall be exchangeable for Definitive Certificates of such Series or Class upon surrender of the temporary Certificates of such Series or Class at the office of the Trustee in a Place of Distribution for such Series or Class, without charge to the Holder, except as provided in Section 5.04 in connection with a transfer and except that a Person receiving definitive Bearer Certificates shall bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, and (b) upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates of any Series or Class within such Series (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the Depositor shall execute and the Trustees shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore Definitive Certificates with a like Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of the same Series (or Class within such Series) of authorized denominations and of like tenor; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Certificate shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Certificate; and provided, further, that delivery of a Global Security representing individual Bearer Certificates or a Bearer Certificate shall occur only outside the United States. Until so exchanged, temporary Certificates of any Series (or Class within such -36- Series) shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Trust Agreement as Definitive Certificates of such Series or Class, except as otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement with respect to the payment of interest on Global Securities in temporary form. Unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, the Depositor will execute and deliver individual Bearer Certificates in exchange for beneficial interests in the definitive Global Security and each Bearer Certificate to the Trustee's principal office in London or to an authorized agent at such other place outside the United States specified in the related Series Supplement. Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a definitive Global Security or for the individual Definitive Certificates represented thereby pursuant to this Section 5.03 or Section 5.04, the temporary Global Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, evidenced thereby, whereupon the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of such temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed. Section 5.04 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept a register for each Series of Registered Certificates (the registers maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Trustee in a Place of Distribution being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Certificate Register") in which a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the Trustee) (the "Certificate Registrar") shall provide for the registration of Registered Certificates and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Registered Certificates. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Registered Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Registered Certificates as herein provided; provided, however, that the Trustee may appoint one or more Co-Certificate Registrars. Upon any resignation of any Certificate Registrar, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Certificate Registrar. If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Depositor as Certificate Registrar, the Depositor will give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of a Certificate Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Certificate Register, and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Certificate Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Registered Certificates and the principal amounts and numbers of such Registered Certificates. (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer any Registered Certificate of any Series (or Class within such Series) at the office or agency of the Trustee, if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met to the Depositor's satisfaction, the Depositor shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Certificates of any authorized denominations, of a like Series, Class and aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable. Except as otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, in no -37- event may Registered Certificates, including Registered Certificates received in exchange for Bearer Certificates, be exchanged for Bearer Certificates. (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Certificates represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Certificates of a Series (or Class within such Series) may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository for such Series or Class to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository for such Series or Class or a nominee of such successor Depository. (d) At the option of the Holder, Registered Certificates of any Series (or Class within such Series) (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for other Registered Certificates of the same Series or Class of any authorized denomination or denominations of like tenor and aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, upon surrender of the Registered Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose. (e) At the option of the Holder, except as otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement with respect to a Global Security representing Bearer Certificates, Bearer Certificates of any Series (or Class within such Series) may be exchanged for Registered Certificates (if the Certificates of such Series or Class are issuable as Registered Certificates) or Bearer Certificates of the same Series or Class, of any authorized denomination or denominations, of like tenor and aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, upon surrender of the Bearer Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining; provided, however, that delivery of a Bearer Certificate shall occur only outside the United States. If the Holder of a Bearer Certificate is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Certificates are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Depositor and the Trustee if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Certificate shall surrender for payment any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.06, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Depositor shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Certificates for Registered Certificates will be subject to the provisions of United States income tax laws and regulations applicable to Certificates in effect at the time of such exchange. -38- (f) If at the time the Depository for the Certificates of a Series (or Class within such Series) notifies the Depositor that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Certificates of such Series or Class or if at any time the Depository for the Certificates of such Series or Class shall no longer be eligible under Section 5.08(b), the Depositor shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Certificates of such Series or Class. If a successor Depository for the Certificates of such Series or Class is not appointed by the Depositor within 90 days after the Depositor receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Depositor's election as specified in the related Series Supplement shall no longer be effective with respect to the Certificates of such Series or Class and the Depositor will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Depositor Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Certificates of such Series or Class, will authenticate and deliver individual Certificates of such Series or Class in an aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, equal to the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of the Global Security or Securities representing Certificates of such Series or Class in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. (g) The Depositor may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that individual Certificates of any Series (or Class within such Series) issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Depositor shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Depositor Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Certificates of such Series or Class, shall authenticate and deliver, individual Certificates of such Series or Class in an aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, equal to the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of the Global Security or Securities representing Certificates of such Series or Class in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. (h) If specified by the Depositor pursuant to the related Series Supplement with respect to a Series (or Class within such Series) of Certificates, the Depository for such Series may surrender a Global Security for such Series or Class in exchange in whole or in part for individual Certificates of such Series or Class on such terms as are acceptable to the Depositor and such Depository. Thereupon, the Depositor shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Depositor Order, shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge: (i) to each Person specified by such Depository a new individual Certificate or Certificates of the same Series or Class, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and (ii) to such Depository a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of individual Certificates delivered to Holders thereof. In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Depositor shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Depositor Order, will authenticate and -39- deliver individual Certificates (a) in registered form in authorized denominations, if the Certificates of such Series or Class are issuable as Registered Certificates, (b) in bearer form in authorized denominations, with or without Coupons attached, if the Certificates of such Series or Class are issuable as Bearer Certificates or (c) as either Registered or Bearer Certificates, if the Certificates of such Series or Class are issuable in either form; provided, however, that individual Bearer Certificates shall be delivered in exchange for a Global Security only in accordance with the procedures specified in the related Series Supplement. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual Certificates, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Individual Registered Certificates issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its Participants, any indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Registered Certificates to the Person in whose names such Registered Certificates are so registered. The Trustee shall deliver individual Bearer Certificates issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 5.04 to the Persons and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its Participants, any indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee; provided, however, that individual Bearer Certificates shall be delivered in exchange for a Global Security only in accordance with the procedures as may be specified in the related Series Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Certificates for Registered Certificates will be subject to the provisions of United States income tax laws and regulations applicable to Certificates in effect at the time of such exchange. (i) All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust related to such Certificates and be entitled to the same benefits under this Trust Agreement as the Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. (j) Every Registered Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a brokerage firm or financial institution that is a member of a Securities Approved Medallion Program such as Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), Stock Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP) or New York Stock Exchange Inc. Medallion Signature Program (MSP). (k) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Depositor may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 5.03 not involving any transfer. -40- Section 5.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate or any mutilated Coupon with the Coupon Certificate to which it appertains (and all unmatured Coupons attached thereto) is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office (in the case of Registered Certificates) or at its principal London office (in the case of Bearer Certificates) or (ii) the Depositor and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate or any Coupon, and there is delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to hold each of them and any Paying Agent harmless, and neither the Depositor nor the Trustee receives notice that such Certificate or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the Depositor shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Depositor Order, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Certificate, or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate or in exchange for the Coupon Certificate to which such mutilated, destroyed lost or stolen Coupon appertained, a new Certificate of the same Series or Class of like tenor, form, terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, and, in the case of a Coupon Certificate, with such Coupons attached thereto so that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such exchange or substitution. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Depositor may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in respect thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every new Certificate of any Series or Class, with its Coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust related to such Series, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Trust Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates of that Series or Class and their Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates or Coupons. Section 5.06 Persons Deemed Owners. (a) The Depositor, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Registered Certificate is registered as the owner of such Registered Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 4.02) interest, if any, on such Registered Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Certificate be overdue, and neither the Depositor or the Trustee, nor any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. (b) The Depositor, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Certificate or of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Certificate or Coupon for the purposes of receiving distributions thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Certificate or Coupon be overdue, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All distributions made to any Holder, or upon his -41- order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys distributable upon such Certificate or Coupon. (c) None of the Depositor, the Trustee or any of their agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or distributions made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Section 5.07 Cancellation. Unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement for Certificates of any Series, all Certificates surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange and all Coupons surrendered for payment or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. No Certificates or Coupons shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificates or Coupons cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Trust Agreement. Section 5.08 Global Securities. (a) If the Series Supplement pursuant to Section 5.01 provides that a Series (or Class within such Series) of Certificates shall be represented by one or more Global Securities, then the Depositor shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities, that (i) shall represent an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, equal to the aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of the Certificates of such Series or Class to be represented by such one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Certificates represented hereby, this Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository." No Holder of a Certificate of such Series or Class will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such Holder's interest in such Certificate or Certificates, except as provided in Section 5.10. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") have been issued to Holders of such Series or Class pursuant to Section 5.11: (i) the provisions of this Section 5.09 shall be in full force and effect; (ii) the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depository for all purposes of this Trust Agreement (including the distribution of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Certificates of such Series or Class, and shall have no obligation to the owners of beneficial interests in such Series or Class (collectively, the "Certificate Owners"); -42- (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.08 conflict with any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.08 shall control; (iv) the rights of Certificate Owners of such Series or Class shall be exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository or its Participants; (v) whenever this Trust Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Certificates of such Series or Class evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate Voting Rights of such Series or Class, the Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners of such Series or Class or Participants in such Depository's system owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Certificates of such Series or Class and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee. (b) Each Depository designated in the related Series Supplement for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as such Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. Section 5.09 Notices to Depository. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders of a Series or Class within such Series represented by one or more Global Securities is required under this Trust Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates for such Series or Class shall have been issued to such Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 5.10, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Certificates of such Series to the Depository, and shall have no obligation to the Certificate Owners. Section 5.10 Definitive Certificates. If in respect of a Series (or Class within such Series) represented by one or more Global Securities (i) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Certificates of such Series or Class and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system of such Series or Class through the Depository or (iii) Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority (or such other Required Percentage-Definitive Certificates that may be specified in a Series Supplement) of the Voting Rights of the Certificates of such Series or Class advise the Depository in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system for such Series or Class through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificates Owners of such Series or Class, then the Depository shall notify all Certificate Owners or Participants in the Depository's system with respect to such Series or Class and the Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates for such Series or Class to Certificate Owners of such Series or Class requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Global Securities of such Series or Class by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions, the Depositor shall execute and the -43- Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Certificates of such Series or Class in accordance with the instructions of the Depository. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates of Series or Class, the Trustee shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates of such Series or Class as Holders. Section 5.11 Currency of Distributions in Respect of Certificates. (a) Except as otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement for Bearer Certificates of any Series (or Class within such Series), distributions of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on Bearer Certificates of such Series or Class denominated in any Currency will be made in such Currency.

(d) With respect to Certificates of any Series, any decision or determination to be made regarding exchange rates shall be made by an Exchange Rate Agent appointed by the Depositor; provided, however, that such Exchange Rate Agent shall accept such appointment in writing and the terms of such appointment shall be acceptable to the Trustee and shall, in the opinion of the Depositor at the time of such appointment, require such Exchange Rate Agent to make such determination by a method provided in the applicable Series Supplement for the making of such decision or determination. All decisions and determinations of such Exchange Rate Agent regarding exchange rates shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Depositor, the Trustee and all Holders of the Certificates of such Series. (e) If distributions in respect of a Certificate are required to be made in a Specified Currency other than Dollars and such currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Trustee and the Depositor or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such Specified Currency or is no longer commonly used for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all distributions in respect of such Certificate shall be -44- made in Dollars until such Specified Currency is again so used in the manner specified in the related Series Supplement. Section 5.12 Conditions of Authentication and Delivery of New Series. Certificates of a new Series may be issued at any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of these Standard Terms and the related Series Supplement. The Depositor shall execute and deliver Certificates of such Series to the Trustee, with appropriate Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates upon a Depositor Order and upon delivery by the Depositor to the Trustee of the following: (1) The delivery of the Underlying Securities in accordance with Section 2.01(b); (2) Opinions of Counsel to the Depositor, addressed to the Trustee, in a form acceptable to the Trustee; (3) An Officer's Certificate of the Depositor, dated as of the Closing Date, to the effect that all of the requirements of this Section 5.12 have been satisfied, and that the Depositor is not in breach of this Trust Agreement and that the issuance of the Certificates will not result in any breach of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Depositor's Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of transfer or other agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it or its property is bound or any order of any court or administrative agency entered in any Proceeding to which the Depositor is a party or by which it or its property may be bound or to which it or its property may be subject; (4) A Series Supplement consistent with the applicable provisions of these Standard Terms; (5) If applicable, a fully executed copy of the Swap Agreement, together with all documents and opinions required to be delivered to the Trust upon execution thereof pursuant to the terms thereof; and (6) Written instructions by the Depositor to the Trustee directing the Trustee to enter into and perform any obligations under the Swap Agreement, if applicable, and/or the Market Agent Agreement, if applicable. If all the Certificates of a Series are not to be originally issued at the same time, then the documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.12 must be delivered only once, prior to the authentication and delivery of the first Certificate of such Series; provided, however, that any subsequent Depositor Order to the Trustee to authenticate Certificate of such Series upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Depositor that, as of the date of such request, the statements made in this Section 5.12 shall be true and correct as if made on such date. Section 5.13 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Trustee may appoint one or more paying agents (each, a "Paying Agent") with respect to the Certificates of any Series. Any -45- such Paying Agent shall be authorized to make distributions to Certificateholders of such Series from the Certificate Account for such Series pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Series Supplement and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from such Certificate Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee and any co-paying agent chosen by the Trustee and acceptable to the Depositor, including, if and so long as any Series or Class within such Series is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such exchange so requires, a co-paying agent in Luxembourg or another European city. Any Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Trustee. In the event that the Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Trustee shall appoint a successor or additional Paying Agent. The Trustee shall cause each successor to act as Paying Agent to execute and deliver to Trustee an instrument in which such successor or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that it will hold all sums, if any, held by it for distribution to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be distributed to such Certificateholders and will agree to such other matters as are required by Section 317(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Trustee and upon removal shall also return all funds in its possession to the Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04 and 7.06 shall apply to the Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the appointment of a Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall not release the Trustee from the duties, obligations, responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Trust Agreement other than with respect to funds paid to such Paying Agent. Section 5.14 Authenticating Agent. (a) The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents (each, an "Authenticating Agent") with respect to the Certificates of any Series which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating such Certificates in connection with the issuance, delivery and registration of transfer or exchange of such Certificates. Whenever reference is made in this Trust Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the appointment of an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 5.14 shall not release the Trustee from the duties, obligations, responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Trust Agreement. (b) Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any power or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Depositor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time an -46- Authenticating Agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Trustee or the Depositor, the Trustee promptly may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless acceptable to the Depositor. The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. The provisions of Section 7.01, 7.03 and 7.04 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent. (c) Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section, the Certificates may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form: "This is one of the Certificates described in the Standard Terms and the related Series Supplement.

Such notice shall be given by the Trustee to the Certificateholders of record on such Record Date. Upon the written request of the applicable Certificateholder, received on or before the date established by the Trustee for such purpose, the Trustee shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under any applicable provision of law and any applicable provision of or governing the Underlying Securities, to vote in accordance with any nondiscretionary instruction set forth in such written request (in each case to the extent of the voting rights allocated pursuant to subsection 5.15(b) to such Certificateholder). The Trustee shall not vote except as specifically authorized and directed in written instructions from the applicable Certificateholder entitled to give such instructions. -47- (b) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, the voting rights allocable to the owners of the Underlying Securities pursuant to the terms thereof shall be allocated among the Certificateholders pro rata, in the proportion that the denomination of each Certificate bears to the aggregate denomination of all Certificates. However, unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement if under the terms of the Underlying Securities, voting rights may not be allocated on a pro rata basis pursuant to subsection 5.15(b), the Trustee shall vote in accordance with the instructions of a majority of the Certificateholders (based upon percentage interests) only if the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such vote will not affect the status of the Trust as a grantor trust for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes or any other tax consequences to the Trust or Certificateholders as specified in the related Series Supplement, and, in the absence of such an Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee shall not vote with respect to the Underlying Securities. (c) By accepting delivery of a Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, exchange or replacement thereof, and without regard to whether ownership is beneficial or otherwise, the Certificateholder agrees so long as it is an owner of such Certificate that it shall not grant any consent (i) to any conversion of the timing of payment of, or the method or rate of accruing of, interest on the Underlying Securities underlying the Certificates held by such Certificateholder or (ii) to any redemption or prepayment of the Underlying Securities underlying the Certificates held by such Certificateholder. The Trustee shall not grant any consent solicited from the owners of the Underlying Securities underlying the Certificates with respect to the matters set forth in this Section nor shall it accept or take any action in respect of any consent, proxy or instructions received from any Certificateholder in contravention of the provisions of this Section. Section 5.16 Actions by Certificateholders. (a) Wherever in this Trust Agreement a provision is made that an action may be taken or a notice, demand or instruction given by Certificateholders or Beneficial Owners, such action, notice or instruction may be taken or given by any Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner. (b) Certificateholders or Beneficial Owners shall not be required to act in concert with any other Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner or any other Person. (c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act by a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner of a Certificate shall bind such Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner and every subsequent Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner of such Certificate or any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner or the Trustee in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate. (d) Certificateholders of Certificates are beneficial owners of the right to receive principal payments and interest payments to which such Certificates relate and, as such, will have the right following an event of default with respect to any Underlying Security to proceed directly against the Issuer(s). Such Certificateholders are not required to join other Certificateholders of Certificates, the Depositor or the Trustee in order to proceed against the Issuer(s). -48- Section 5.17 Events of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Class of Certificates, then, and in each and every case, the Trustee shall exercise any rights in respect of the related Underlying Securities as provided in the applicable Series Supplement. Section 5.18 Judicial Proceedings Instituted by Trustee; Trustee May Bring Suit. If there shall be a failure to make payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Underlying Security, then the Trustee, in its own name, and as trustee of an express trust, as holder of such Underlying Security, shall be, to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the terms of the Underlying Security, subject to the limitations on acceleration and the exercise of remedies set forth therein, entitled and empowered to institute any suits, actions or proceedings at law, in equity or otherwise, including the power to make a demand on the trustee in respect of such Underlying Security, if provided for, to take action to enforce the Underlying Security for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid on such Underlying Security and may prosecute any such claim or proceeding to judgment or final decree with respect to the whole amount of any such sums so due and unpaid. Section 5.19 Control by Certificateholders. The Holders of Certificates of any Class holding Certificates representing not less than the Required Percentage - Direction of Trustee of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Outstanding Certificates of such Class shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Trust Agreement, including any right of the Trustee as holder of the Underlying Securities provided that the Trust has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that a vote of such Required Percentage will not affect the status of the Trust as a grantor trust for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes or any other tax consequences to the Trust or Certificateholders as specified in the related Series Supplement, and provided, however, that: (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Trust Agreement and would not involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense; (2) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Certificates of such Class not taking part in such direction; and (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Section 5.20 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of the Required Percentage - Waiver of Certificates of any Series may direct the Trustee to vote such percentage of the Underlying Securities held by the Trustee as corresponds to the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Certificates of such Series held by such Holders to waive any past Event of Default thereunder with respect to such Series of Certificates; provided, that the Trust has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that a vote of such Required Percentage will not affect the status of the Trust as a grantor trust for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes or any other tax consequences to the Trust or Certificateholders as specified in the related Series Supplement, and its consequences or may instruct the Trustee, on behalf of all Certificateholders of such Series, to waive any past default under this Trust Agreement and its consequences, except a default: -49- (1) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Underlying Securities or the Certificates; (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article X hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Certificate affected; or (3) specified in the applicable Series Supplement, if any, unless the applicable Series Supplement provides otherwise. Upon any such direction, the Trustee shall vote such percentage of the Underlying Securities of the corresponding Series held by the Trustee as corresponds to the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates of such Series held by Holders who directed the Trustee to waive such default or Event of Default thereunder. Upon any waiver that is effective under the terms of such Class of Underlying Securities to waive such default or Event of Default, such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist with respect to this Trust Agreement, and, in the case of a default, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Trust Agreement and any direction given by the Trustee on behalf of such Certificateholders or in respect of any Underlying Securities shall be annulled with respect thereto; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Section 5.21 Right of Certificateholders to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired. Anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the right of any Certificateholder to receive distributions of payments required pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof on the Certificates when due, or to institute suit for enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, Special Distribution Date or other date specified herein for the making of such payment, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Certificateholder. Section 5.22 Remedies Cumulative. Every remedy given hereunder to the Trustee or to any of the Certificateholders shall not be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter given by statute, law, equity or otherwise.

The Depositor may at any time purchase Certificates in the open market or otherwise. Certificates so purchased by the Depositor may, at the discretion of the Depositor, be held or resold.

The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (ix) the Trustee shall not incur any liability to any Certificateholder if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law, or regulation thereunder, or any governmental authority, or by any reason of any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond the control of the relevant party, the Trustee shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of this Trust Agreement provide shall be done or performed; and the Trustee shall not incur any liability to any Certificateholder by reason of any non-performance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which the terms of this Trust Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Trust Agreement; (x) the Trustee shall be under no obligation whatsoever to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Underlying Securities; (xi) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate; and (xii) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in reliance thereon, unless the Trustee's taking, suffering or omitting such action shall have been willful misconduct, in bad faith or negligent. -54- (d) As promptly as practicable after, and in any event within 10 days after, the occurrence of any default (as such term is defined below) hereunder with respect to any Class of Certificates, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and the Holders of Certificates of such Class in accordance with Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Underlying Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Certificates of such Class. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means, with respect to any Class of Certificates, any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Class of Certificates. (e) Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee of a written application by any three or more Certificateholders stating that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement or under the Certificates, and accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, and by reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned its Certificates for a period of at least six (6) months preceding the date of such application, the Trustee shall, at its election, either: (i) afford to such applicants access to all information so furnished to or received by the Trustee; or (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Certificateholders according to the most recent information so furnished to or received by the Trustee, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Certificateholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. If the Trustee shall elect not to afford to such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to all such Certificateholders copies of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of such mailing. (f) The Trustee shall file periodic reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in accordance with the customary practices of the Depositor. The Depositor will respond reasonably promptly to any inquiry of the Trustee as to such customary practices of the Depositor. Section 7.02 Between Trustee and Sub-Administrative Agents. (a) Unless otherwise provided in a Series Supplement, the Trustee may enter into Sub-Administration Agreements with one or more Sub-Administrative Agents in order to delegate certain of its administrative obligations with respect to a related Series under this Trust Agreement to such Sub-Administrative Agents; provided, however, that (i) such delegation shall not release the Trustee from the duties, obligations, responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Trust Agreement; (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to the -55- entering into of any such agreement and (iii) such agreements are consistent with the terms of these Standard Terms and, with respect to Certificates of any Series, the related Series Supplement. With respect to any Series (or Class within such Series) of Certificates, each Sub-Administration Agreement shall impose on the Sub-Administrative Agent requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.01 and provide for administration of the related Trust and all or certain specified Underlying Securities for such Series consistent with the terms of this Trust Agreement.

If such corporation or association (or its parent) publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published.

(b) The Depositor or Holders of the Required Percentage - Removal of Trustee of Certificates may at any time remove the Trustee as Trustee hereunder by written notice delivered to the Trustee and each Rating Agency in the manner provided in Section 10.04 hereof, and such removal shall take effect upon the appointment of the successor trustee and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that, in the event of such removal, the Depositor shall negotiate in good faith with the Trustee in order to agree regarding payment of the termination costs of the Trustee resulting from such removal. (c) Upon the designation of a successor Trustee, following either resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee all records relating to -59- the Certificates in the form and manner then maintained by the Trustee, which shall include a hard copy thereof upon written request of the successor Trustee.

In the event the Trustee resigns or is removed, the Trustee shall reimburse the Depositor for any fees or charges previously paid to the Trustee in respect of duties not yet performed under this Trust Agreement which remain to be performed by a successor Trustee. (e) In case at any time the Trustee acting hereunder notifies the Depositor that it elects to resign or the Depositor or Holders of the Required Percentage - Removal of Trustee of Certificates notifies or notify the Trustee that it or they elects or elect to remove the Trustee as Trustee, the Depositor shall (with the consent of the Swap Counterparty, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), within ninety (90) days after the delivery of the notice of resignation or removal, appoint a successor Trustee, which shall satisfy the requirements for a trustee under Section 7.07. If no successor Trustee has been appointed within 90 days after the Trustee has given written notice of its election to resign or the Depositor or Holders of the Required Percentage - Removal of Trustee of Certificates have given written notice to the Trustee of its or their election to remove the Trustee, as the case may be, the Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Depositor an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor and for all purposes shall be the Trustee under this Trust Agreement, and such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Depositor, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights, obligations and powers of such predecessor hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Underlying Securities and parts thereof to such successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee shall promptly give notice of its appointment to the Certificateholders of Certificates for which it is successor Trustee in the manner provided in Section 10.04 hereof.

The Trustee represents and warrants that: (i) the Trustee is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or association; (ii) neither the execution nor the delivery by the Trustee of this Trust Agreement, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions hereof will contravene any Federal or New York law, governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or violate its charter documents or by-laws or constitute a default under (or an event which, without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach or acceleration of any material contract, indenture, mortgage, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound; (iii) the Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its duties and obligations as set forth herein and in each Series Supplement to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Trust Agreement; (iv) this Trust Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by the applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); (v) the Trustee is not in violation, and the execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement by the Trustee and its performance and compliance with the terms thereof will not constitute a violation, of any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Trustee or its properties, which violation would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Trustee or its properties or on the performance of its duties hereunder; (vi) there are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Trustee pending, or, to the knowledge of the Trustee, threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) that could reasonably be expected to prohibit its entering into the Trust Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates contemplated by the Trust Agreement or (C) that could reasonably affect the performance by the Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability against the Trustee of, the Trust Agreement; and -61- (vii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee of, or compliance by the Trustee with, the Trust Agreement, or for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Trust Agreement, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders, if any, that have been obtained prior to the Closing Date. The representations and warranties of the Trustee set forth in this Section 7.11 shall survive the receipt of Underlying Securities by the Trustee and shall survive the delivery of the Trust Agreement by the Trustee to the Depositor. Section 7.12 Indemnification of Trustee by the Depositor; Contribution. (a) The Depositor agrees, to the extent the Trustee is not reimbursed pursuant to Section 7.06 hereof, to indemnify the Trustee against, and hold it harmless from, any loss, expense or liability incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Trust Agreement or the Certificates or the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee under this Trust Agreement or (ii) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee's duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of the Trustee's obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of the Trustee's obligations and duties hereunder. (b) If the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraph is invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms, then the Depositor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Trustee as a result of such liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Depositor on one hand and the Trustee as Trustee on the other hand. For this purpose (i) the benefits received by the Depositor shall be the aggregate amount received by it upon the sale of such Certificates, less the costs and expenses of such sale, including the cost of acquisition of the Underlying Securities or parts thereof evidenced thereby, and (ii) the benefits received by the Trustee as Trustee shall be the aggregate amount of fees received by it as Trustee, less costs and expenses incurred by it as Trustee in relation to such Certificates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding two sentences is not permitted by applicable law, then the Depositor shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by the Trustee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. (c) In case any claim shall be made or action brought against the Trustee for any reason for which indemnity may be sought against the Depositor as provided above, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor in writing setting forth the particulars of such claim or action and the Depositor may assume the defense thereof. In the event that the Depositor assumes the defense, the Trustee shall have the right to retain separate counsel in any such action but shall bear the fees and expenses of such counsel unless (i) the Depositor shall have specifically authorized the retaining of such counsel or (ii) the parties to such suit include the Trustee and the Depositor, and the Trustee has been advised in writing by such counsel that one -62- or more legal defenses may be available to it which may not be available to the Depositor, in which case the Depositor shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such suit notwithstanding its obligation to bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. (d) The term "liability," as used in this Section 7.12, shall include any losses, claims, damages, expenses (including without limitation the Trustee's reasonable costs and expenses) in defending itself against any losses, claims or investigations of any nature whatsoever. (e) The obligations of the Depositor under this Section 7.12 shall be in addition to any liability which the Depositor may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Trustee, and to each person, if any, who controls the Trustee within the meaning of the Exchange Act. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.12, the Depositor shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee entered into without the prior written consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (g) The indemnity provided in this Section shall survive the termination or discharge of this Trust Agreement. Section 7.13 Indemnification of Depositor by Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual capacity and not from the assets of the Trust, shall indemnify the Depositor and any successor trustee against any losses, claims, damages, expenses (including without limitation the Depositor's costs and expenses in defending itself against any losses, claims or investigations of any nature whatsoever) or other liabilities, joint or several, which may arise out of acts performed or omitted by the Trustee or its agents due to its or their negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Section 7.14 No Liability of the Trustee with Respect to the Underlying Securities; Certificateholders to Proceed Directly Against the Issuer(s). (a) The sole obligor with respect to any Underlying Security is the Issuer thereof. The Trustee shall not have any obligation on or with respect to the Underlying Securities; and its obligations with respect to Certificates shall be solely as set forth in this Trust Agreement. (b) The Trustee is not authorized to proceed against the Issuer of any Underlying Security in the event of a default or to assert the rights and privileges of Certificateholders of Certificates and has no duty in respect thereof except as expressly provided herein. Section 7.15 The Depositor to Furnish Trustee with Names and Addresses of Certificateholders. The Depositor will furnish to the Trustee within 15 days after each Record Date with respect to any Distribution Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Depositor of any such request, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of all information in the possession or control of the Depositor as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders, in each case as of a date not -63- more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that so long as the Trustee is the sole Certificate Registrar, no such list need be furnished. Section 7.16 Preservation of Information. The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Certificateholders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.15, and the names and addresses of Certificateholders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.15, upon receipt of a new list so furnished. Section 7.17 Reports by Trustee. If required, within 60 days after May 15 of each year, commencing with the year 1998, the Trustee shall transmit to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, a brief report dated as of such May 15, if required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Depositor may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective, if, but only if, the obligations of the Trustee with respect to such proposed action or omission are not set forth reasonably clearly in these Standard Terms and the related Series Supplement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days after the date an officer of the Depositor actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Trustee from liability for any action or omission constituting willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. ARTICLE VIII MARKET AGENT Section 8.01 Market Agent. If specified for a specific Series, on the Closing Date the Trustee shall enter into a Market Agent Agreement with Lehman Brothers Inc., as the initial Market Agent, in the form attached to the related Series Supplement.

Section 10.07 Grant of Security Interest. (a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that each conveyance of any Underlying Securities by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Underlying Securities by the Depositor and not a pledge of any Underlying Securities by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. (b) In the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, any Underlying Securities are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (x) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of such Underlying Securities by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (y)(1) this Trust Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York, or such other State as may be specified in the related Series Supplement; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to such Underlying Securities and all amounts payable to the holders of such Underlying Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property including all amounts from time to time held or invested in the applicable Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all the Depositor's obligations under this Trust Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Trust Agreement relating to such Underlying Securities and the applicable Trust; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgements, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgements, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Underlying Securities and all other property described in clause (y)(2) of the preceding paragraph, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (y)(3) of the preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the -70- foregoing, the parties hereto intend the Grant pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Underlying Securities and assets constituting the applicable Trust by the Depositor to the Trustee. (c) The Depositor and the Trustee shall to the extent consistent with this Trust Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Trust Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Underlying Securities, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such for so long as any of the Underlying Securities remain outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall file, or shall cause to be filed, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee's security interest in or lien on the Underlying Securities, including (x) continuation statements and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Depositor or (3) any transfer of any interest of the Depositor in any Underlying Security. Section 10.08 Nonpetition Covenant. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Trust Agreement, each of the Trustee (including any Sub-Administrative Agent, Authenticating Agent, Calculation Agent, or Paying Agent), the Depositor and each Certificateholder agrees that it shall not, until the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Trust acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trust to invoke the process of the United States of America, any State or other political subdivision thereof or any entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to government for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case by or against the Trust under a Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Trust or all or any part of the property or assets of the Trust or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Trust. Section 10.09 No Recourse. Neither the Trustee (including any Sub-Administrative Agent, Authenticating Agent, Calculation Agent, or Paying Agent) nor the Depositor shall have any recourse to the Underlying Securities, except for as specifically provided in the related Series Supplement. Section 10.10 Article and Section References. All article and section references used in these Standard Terms, unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in these Standard Terms. Section 10.11 Counterparts. These Standard Terms may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Section 10.12 Trust Indenture Act Controls. This Trust Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. The Trustee agrees to take all actions within its control to prevent these Standard -71- Terms, as supplemented by any Series Supplements, from failing to qualify under the Trust Indenture Act. Section 10.13 Segregation Provisions. (a) Each Trust established hereunder is a legal entity separate and apart from each other Trust established by the Depositor under this Agreement or otherwise. (b) Pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, each Trust will issue only one Series of securities, unambiguously identified with the Underlying Securities unambiguously identified on a series-by-series basis in the Basic Documents, and the Underlying Securities will be held separate and apart from the Underlying Securities relating to any other Series and separate and apart from any property backing any other securities caused to be issued by the Depositor. (c) Any swap transaction entered into by a Trust for a Series will be separate from any other swap transaction for any other Series. (d) A first priority ownership or, pursuant to Section 10.07 hereof, security interest shall be created and perfected over all of the Underlying Securities with respect to each Series and it shall be enforceable notwithstanding the related Trust's insolvency. (e) The certificateholders of each Series shall have recourse solely to the Underlying Securities deposited in the Trust issuing such Series, and not to any Underlying Securities or other property deposited in any other Trust. If the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 10.13(e) are unenforceable for any reason, or for any reason notwithstanding such provisions any certificateholder with respect to a Series issued by a Trust is deemed to have an interest in the assets of a different Trust (the "Non-Issuing Trust") such interest shall be subordinate to the interest of the holders of Certificates issued by the Non-Issuing Trust. Such Certificateholders are deemed to agree that the preceding sentence constitutes a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Creditors of the Depositor, and claimants with respect to trusts established pursuant to other instruments, shall have no recourse with respect to the assets of any Trust established hereunder. (f) Except as provided in Section 10.02(b) hereof, only the Trustee shall be entitled to exercise remedies on behalf of the certificateholders in accordance with the related Series Supplement. (g) Any difference between the amount realized from the Underlying Securities upon enforcement of the Underlying Securities and the amount that otherwise would have been due pursuant to the related Series Supplement will not constitute a claim against the related Trust any other Trust, the Depositor, the Trustee or any of their Affiliates. (h) Each Trust shall not sell, assign or transfer the Underlying Securities except as expressly provided for herein or in the related Series Supplement. (i) The Depositor agrees that it shall not issue any debt obligations unless it first obtains written confirmation from each relevant Rating Agency that such action will not result in the reduction, withdrawal or qualification, of the rating of any outstanding Series of Certificates. -72- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor and the Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above written.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(c), 5(b), 5(d), 5(g) and 5(h) on each applicable Distribution Date (or such later date as specified in Section 9(f)), the Trustee shall apply Available Funds in the Certificate Account as follows: [SPECIFY PRIORITY OF DISTRIBUTION] (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underlying Securities are redeemed (including as a result of an optional redemption), prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part for any reason other than due to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the cessation of the Underlying Securities Issuer to file periodic reports as required by the Exchange Act or at their maturity, the Trustee shall apply Available Funds in the manner described in Section 5(g) in the following order of priority: [SPECIFY PRIORITY OF DISTRIBUTION] (c) Unless otherwise instructed by holders of Certificates representing a majority of the Voting Rights, thirty (30) days after giving notice pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Trustee shall instruct the Market Agent to sell the Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 13 hereof and deposit the Liquidation Proceeds, if any, into the Certificate Account for distribution not later than two (2) Business Days after the receipt of immediately available funds -10- in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof; [ provided, however, that if any Warrant Holder designates any day on or prior to the proposed sale date as a Call Date and Optional Exchange Date pursuant to Section 7, the portion of Underlying Securities related to such Optional Exchange shall not be sold but shall be distributed to the Warrant Holder pursuant to Section 7 and the Warrant Agent Agreement]. (d) [Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underlying Securities are redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part due to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall apply Available Funds to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and the holders of the Class A-2 Certificates in accordance with the ratio of the Class A-1 Allocation to the Class A-2 Allocation.] (e) If the Trustee receives non-cash property in respect of the Underlying Securities as a result of a payment default on the Underlying Securities (including from the sale thereof), the Trustee will promptly give notice to the Depository, 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 and to the Warrant Agent]. Such notice shall state that the Trustee shall and the Trustee shall, not later than 30 days after the receipt of such property, allocate and distribute such property to the holders of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates then outstanding and unpaid, (after deducting the costs incurred in connection therewith) in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof. Property other than cash will be liquidated by the Trustee, and the proceeds thereof distributed in cash, only to the extent necessary to avoid distribution of fractional securities to Certificateholders. In-kind distribution of such property to Certificateholders, based on the market value of such property as of the date of distribution to Certificateholders, will be deemed to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates on a dollar-for-dollar basis. [The outstanding principal amount of the Class A-2 Certificates shall be reduced, pro rata among all Class A-2 Certificateholders, by an amount equal to the amount by which the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates is reduced.] (f) Subject to Section 9(g) hereof, to the extent Available Funds are insufficient to make scheduled interest or principal payments on any class of Certificates on any Distribution Date, any shortfall will be carried over and will be distributed on the next Distribution Date (or date referred to in Section 5(g) hereof) on which sufficient funds are available to pay such shortfall. (g) If a payment with respect to the Underlying Securities is made to the Trustee (i) after the payment date of the Underlying Securities on which such payment was due or (ii) in connection with redemption, prepayment or liquidation, in whole or in part, of the Underlying Securities for any reason other than due to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the cessation of the Underlying Securities Issuer to file periodic reports as required by the Exchange Act or at their maturity, the Trustee will distribute any such amounts received in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 on the next occurring Business Day (a "Special Distribution Date") as if the funds had constituted Available Funds on the Distribution Date immediately preceding such Special Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Record Date for such Special Distribution Date shall be one Business Day prior to the day on which the related payment was received with respect to the Underlying Securities. -11- (h) [Notwithstanding Section 3.12 of the Standard Terms, if the Underlying Securities Issuer, and, if its obligations are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by or assumed by an Eligible Issuer, such Eligible Issuer, ceases to file periodic reports as required under the Exchange Act, the Depositor shall within a reasonable time instruct the Trustee to (i) notify the Warrant Agent that the Underlying Securities are proposed to be sold and that any Call Warrants and related Optional Exchange rights must be exercised no later than the date specified in the notice (which shall be not less than ten Business Days after the date of such notice) and (ii) to the extent that the Warrant Holders fail to exercise their Call Warrants and related Optional Exchange rights on or prior to such date, to sell the Underlying Securities and distribute the proceeds of such sale to the Certificateholders in accordance with the following order of priority: first, to the Trustee, as reimbursement for any Extraordinary Trust Expenses incurred by the Trustee in accordance with Section 6(b) below and approved by 100% of the Certificateholders; and second, any remainder to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates pro rata in proportion to the ratio of the Class A-1 Allocation to the Class A-2 Allocation, as determined by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, the Depositor shall not instruct the Trustee to distribute or sell the Underlying Securities (or provide a notice of such instruction to the Warrant Agent) pursuant to this clause unless the Underlying Securities Issuer has either (x) stated in writing that it intends permanently to cease filing reports required under the Exchange Act or (y) failed to file any required reports for one full calendar year.] (i) (i) [If the Trustee receives notice of a tender offer for some or all of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall, within one Business Day, notify the Warrant Agent and forward to the Warrant Agent copies of all materials received by the Trustee in connection therewith. If the Trustee receives a Call Notice from any Warrant Holder no later than five Business Days prior to the expiration of the tender offer acceptance period that such Warrant Holder desires to exercise all or a portion of its Call Warrants in connection with the consummation of any such tender offer, then the Trustee shall tender, in compliance with the tender offer requirements, an amount of Underlying Securities equal to the amount of Underlying Securities that would be distributable to the Warrant Holder with respect to an Optional Exchange of the Called Certificates called by such Warrant Holder; provided that any Optional Call or Optional Exchange undertaken in connection with any such tender offer shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof.] (ii) [The Call Date and Optional Exchange Date for any exercise of Call Warrants in connection with a tender offer shall be deemed to be the Business Day on which such Underlying Securities are accepted for payment and paid for.] (iii) [The Call Price shall be deducted from the tender offer proceeds and paid to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates pro rata in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(d)(v), and the excess of the tender offer proceeds over the Call Price shall be paid to the exercising Warrant Holders pro rata in respect to their proportionate exercises of Call Warrants or, if the Call Price exceeds the tender offer proceeds the amount of such excess shall be paid by the exercising Warrant Holders pro rata in respect to their proportionate exercises of Call Warrants.] (iv) [If fewer than all tendered Underlying Securities are accepted for payment and paid for, (A) the amount of Call Warrants exercised shall be reduced to an amount -12- that corresponds to a number of Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates that could be exchanged in an Optional Exchange for the Underlying Securities accepted for payment and paid for (without regard to any restrictions on the amount to be exchanged, so long as such restrictions would have been satisfied had all tendered Underlying Securities been accepted for payment and paid for); (B) each Warrant Holder's exercise shall be reduced by its share (proportionate to the amount specified in its exercise notice) of the amount of Underlying Securities not accepted for payment and paid for; (C) the Call Price shall be determined after giving effect to the reduction specified in clause (B); (D) the Call Warrants that relate to the reduction specified in clause (B) shall remain outstanding; and (E) the excess of the tender offer proceeds over the Call Price shall be allocated in proportion to the amount of Call Warrants deemed exercised as set forth in clause (A) above or, if the Call Price exceeds the tender offer proceeds the amount of such excess shall be paid by the exercising Warrant Holders pro rata in respect to their proportionate exercises of Call Warrants.] (v) [If the tender offer is terminated by the Underlying Securities Issuer or any other tender offeror without consummation thereof or if all tenders by the Trust of Underlying Securities are otherwise rejected, then (1) the Call Notices will be of no further force and effect, and (2) any Call Warrants relating to such Call Notices will not be exercised and will remain outstanding.] Section 6. Trustee's Fees. (a) As compensation for its services hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Trustee Fee and any amounts payable under clauses 5(a)(iii) and 5(b)(iv) above. The Trustee Fee shall be paid by the Depositor and not from Trust Property. The Trustee shall bear all Ordinary Expenses. Failure by the Depositor to pay such amount shall not entitle the Trustee to any payment or reimbursement from the Trust, nor shall such failure release the Trustee from the duties it is required to perform under the Trust Agreement. (b) Extraordinary Expenses shall not be paid out of the Trust Property unless all the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates then outstanding have directed the Trustee to incur such Extraordinary Expenses. The Trustee may incur other Extraordinary Expenses if any lesser percentage of the Certificateholders requesting such action pursuant hereto reimburse the Trustee for the cost thereof from their own funds in advance. If Extraordinary Expenses are not approved unanimously as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6(b), such Extraordinary Expenses shall not be an obligation of the Trust, and the Trustee shall not file any claim against the Trust therefor notwithstanding failure of Certificateholders to reimburse the Trustee. Section 7. [Optional Exchange; Optional Call]. (a) On any (i) Distribution Date, (ii) date on which a tender offer for some or all of the Underlying Securities is consummated or (iii) date on which the Underlying Securities are to be redeemed by the Underlying Securities Issuer, any holder of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates [and the related Call Warrants, if Call Warrants related to such Certificates are outstanding,] may exchange such Certificates [and, if applicable, Call Warrants,] for a distribution of Underlying Securities representing the same percentage of the Underlying Securities as such Certificates represent of all outstanding Certificates. [On any Call Date, any Warrant Holder may exchange Called Certificates for a distribution of Underlying Securities representing the same percentage -13- of Underlying Securities as such Called Certificates represent of all outstanding Certificates; provided, however, that any such exchange shall either (x) result from an exercise of all Call Warrants owned by such Warrant Holder or (y) occur on a Call Date on which such Warrant Holder, alone or together with one or more other Warrant Holders, shall exchange Called Certificates relating to Underlying Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to or in excess of the product of (i) 0.1 and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Underlying Securities deposited into the Trust on the Closing Date.] (b) The following conditions shall apply to any Optional Exchange. (i) A notice specifying the number of Certificates being surrendered and the Optional Exchange Date shall be delivered to the Trustee no less than 5 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 30 days before the Optional Exchange Date; [ provided, however, that for an Optional Exchange to occur on a Call Date, unless otherwise specified therein, the Call Notice shall be deemed to be the notice required hereunder.] (ii) Certificates [and, if applicable, the Call Warrants,] shall be surrendered to the Trustee no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Optional Exchange Date; [provided that for an Optional Exchange to occur on a Call Date, payment of the Call Price to the Warrant Agent pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(iii) of the Warrant Agent Agreement shall satisfy the requirement to surrender Certificates]. (iii) Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates representing a like percentage of all Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates shall be surrendered. (iv) The Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel stating that the Optional Exchange would not cause the Trust to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. (v) If the Certificateholder is the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, (1) the Trustee shall have received a certification from the Certificateholder that any Certificates being surrendered have been held for at least six months, and (2) the Certificates being surrendered may represent no more than [_]% (or [_]% in the case of Certificates acquired by the Underwriters but never distributed to investors) of the then outstanding Certificates. (vi) The Trustee shall not be obligated to determine whether an Optional Exchange complies with the applicable provisions for exemption under Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. (vii) The provisions of Section 4.07 of the Standard Terms shall not apply to an Optional Exchange pursuant to this Section 7(b). This Section 7(b) shall not provide any person with a lien against, an interest in or a right to specific performance with respect to the Underlying Securities; provided that satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 7(b) shall entitle the Certificateholder [or Warrant Holder, as applicable,] to a distribution thereof. -14- (viii) The aggregate principal amount of Certificates exchanged in connection with any Optional Exchange pursuant to this Section shall be in an amount that will entitle the Certificateholders thereof to Underlying Securities in an even multiple of the minimum denomination of such Underlying Securities. (ix) In the event such Optional Exchange shall occur prior to the Distribution Date in [______] 20[__], the Certificateholders shall have paid to the Trustee, for distribution to the Depositor, on the Optional Exchange Date an amount equal to the sum obtained by multiplying the amount of accrued interest on the Underlying Securities from [____], 200[_] through, but excluding, the Closing Date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Certificate Principal Balance of Certificates being exchanged on such Optional Exchange Date and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates. (c) [Concurrently with the execution of this Series Supplement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute the Warrant Agent Agreement and the Call Warrants, dated as of the date hereof and substantially in the form of Exhibit B 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.] (d) [Call Warrants may be exercised by the Warrant Holder in whole or in part on any Call Date. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 1.1 of the Warrant Agent Agreement, the following conditions shall apply to any Optional Call.] (i) [An opinion of counsel to the Warrant Holder shall have been delivered to the Rating Agencies, in form satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, indicating that payment of the Call Price shall not be recoverable as a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance under the United States Bankruptcy Code. Such opinion may contain customary assumptions and qualifications.] (ii) [The Warrant Holder shall have provided a certificate of solvency to the Trustee.] (iii) [Upon receipt of a Call Notice, the Trustee shall provide a conditional call notice to the Depository not less than three Business Days prior to the Call Date.] (iv) [Delivery of a Call Notice does not give rise to an obligation on the part of the Warrant Holder to pay the Call Price. If, by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date, the Warrant Holder has not paid the Call Price (except in connection with a Call Notice relating to a tender offer for or redemption of the Underlying Securities), then the Call Notice shall automatically expire and none of the Warrant Holder, the Warrant Agent or the Trustee shall have any obligation with respect to the Call Notice. The expiration of a Call Notice shall in no way affect the Warrant Holder's right to deliver a Call Notice at a later date. The Call Price for a call in connection with a tender offer or redemption shall be deducted from the proceeds of a tender offer or redemption by the Trust pursuant to Sections 5(h)(iii) or 7(g)(iii), as applicable.] -15- (v) [Subject to receipt of the Call Price, the Trustee shall pay the Call Price to the Certificateholders on the Call Date. The Call Price for each Class of Certificates in respect of partial calls shall be allocated pro rata to the Certificateholders of such Class.] (vi) [The Trustee shall not consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement (including the Standard Terms) which would adversely affect the Warrant Holders (including, without limitation, any alteration of the timing or amount of any payment of the Call Price or any other provision of this Agreement in a manner adverse to the Warrant Holders) without the prior written consent of 100% of the Warrant Holders. For purposes of this clause, no amendment, modification or supplement required to provide for any purchase by the Trustee of additional Underlying Securities and authentication and delivery by the Trustee of additional certificates and call warrants pursuant to Section 3(d) shall be deemed to adversely affect the Warrant Holders.] (vii) [The Trustee shall not be obligated to determine whether an Optional Call complies with the applicable provisions for exemption under Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.] (e) [This Section 7 shall not provide the Warrant Holder with a lien against, an interest in or a right to specific performance with respect to the Underlying Securities; provided that satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7(b) shall entitle the Certificateholders or Warrant Holder, as applicable, to a distribution thereof.] (f) [The rights of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement and the Certificates are limited by the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, the Warrant Agent Agreement and the Call Warrants with respect to the exercise of the Call Warrants by the Warrant Holder. The Certificateholders, by their acceptance of Certificates, covenant and agree to tender any and all Called Certificates to the Trustee upon the Warrant Holder's exercise of Call Warrants and payment of the Call Price for such Certificates in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Warrant Agent Agreement.] (g) (i) [If the Trustee receives notice of a redemption by the Underlying Securities Issuer for some or all of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall, within three Business Days, notify the Warrant Agent and forward to the Warrant Agent copies of all materials received by the Trustee in connection therewith. Any Warrant Holder that desires to call Underlying Securities in connection with a redemption by the Underlying Securities Issuer shall send a Call Notice to the Trustee no later than seven Business Days prior to the date such Underlying Securities are to be redeemed.] (ii) [The Call Date and Optional Exchange Date for any exercise of Call Warrants in connection with a redemption by the Underlying Securities Issuer shall be deemed to be the Business Day on which such Underlying Securities are redeemed by the Underlying Securities Issuer.] (iii) [The Call Price shall be deducted from the redemption proceeds and paid to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates pro rata in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(d)(v), and the excess of the redemption -16- proceeds over the Call Price shall be paid to the exercising Warrant Holders pro rata in respect to their proportionate exercises of Call Warrants.] (iv) [If fewer than all Underlying Securities are redeemed by the Underlying Securities Issuer and the amount of Call Warrants exercised corresponds to a number of Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates that could be exchanged in an Optional Exchange for a principal amount of Underlying Securities that exceeds the principal amount of Underlying Securities actually redeemed, then, unless otherwise directed by any exercising Warrant Holder, (A) the amount of Call Warrants exercised shall be reduced to an amount that corresponds to a number of Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates that could be exchanged in an Optional Exchange for the principal amount of Underlying Securities redeemed by the Underlying Securities Issuer (without regard to any restrictions on the amount to be exchanged); (B) each Warrant Holder's exercise shall be reduced by its share (proportionate to the amount specified in its exercise notice) of the amount of such excess; (C) the Call Price shall be determined after giving effect to the reduction specified in clause (B); (D) the Call Warrants that relate to the reduction specified in clause (B) shall remain outstanding; and (E) the excess of the redemption proceeds over the Call Price shall be allocated in proportion to the amount of Call Warrants deemed exercised as set forth in clause (A) above.] (v) [If the Underlying Securities are not redeemed by the Underlying Securities Issuer for any reason, then (1) the Call Notices will be of no further force and effect, and (2) any Call Warrants relating to such Call Notices will not be exercised and will remain outstanding.] Section 8.

However, except in the case of an Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if in good faith it determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Certificateholders.

(b) The Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative outstanding Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates) as the Certificates of the Trust were actually voted or not voted by the Certificateholders thereof as of a date determined by the Trustee prior to the date on which such consent or vote is required; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter (i) unless such vote or consent would not (based on an opinion of counsel) affect the status of the Trust for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, or any other tax consequences to the Trust or Certificateholders, as specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, (ii) which would alter the timing or amount of any payment on the Underlying Securities, including, without limitation, any demand to accelerate the Underlying Securities, except in the event of a default under the Underlying Securities or an event which with the passage of time would become an event of default under the Underlying Securities and with the unanimous consent of holders of all outstanding Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates [and all Warrant Holders,] or (iii) which would result in the exchange or substitution of any of the outstanding Underlying Securities pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of such Underlying Securities except in the event of a default under the Indenture and only with the consent of Certificateholders representing 100% of the Class A-1 Certificates, 100% of the Class A-2 Certificates [and 100% of the Warrant Holders]. The Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act resulting from Certificateholders' late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the Certificateholders. (c) In the event that an offer is made by the Underlying Securities Issuer to issue new obligations in exchange and substitution for any of the Underlying Securities, pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of the outstanding Underlying Securities or any other offer is made for the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall notify the Class A-1 Certificateholders, Class A-2 Certificateholders and the Warrant Holders of such offer promptly. [Subject to the rights of the Warrant Holders to exercise Call Warrants in connection with a tender offer for the Underlying Securities,] the Trustee must reject any such offer unless the Trustee is directed by the affirmative vote of the holders of 100% of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates [and Call Warrants] to accept such offer and the Trustee has received the tax opinion described above. If pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Trustee accepts any such offer the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies. (d) If an event of default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing, and if directed by a majority of the outstanding Class A-1 Certificateholders and Class A-2 Certificateholders, the Trustee shall vote the Underlying Securities in favor of directing, or take such other action as may be appropriate to direct, the Underlying Securities Trustee to declare -22- the unpaid principal amount of the Underlying Securities and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable. Section 16. Additional Depositor Representation. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Underlying Securities by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Underlying Securities by the Depositor and not a pledge of any Underlying Securities by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. In the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, any Underlying Securities are held to be property of the Depositor, then, it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of such Underlying Securities by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor, pursuant to Section 10.07 of the Standard Terms. In connection with any such grant of a security interest in the Underlying Securities (including any such grant in connection with any sale of additional Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 3(d)), the Depositor hereby represents and warrants to Trustee as follows: (i) In the event the Underlying Securities are held to be property of the Depositor, then the Trust Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) in the Underlying Securities in favor of the Trustee which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of, and purchasers from, the Depositor. (ii) The Underlying Securities have been credited to a trust account (the "Securities Account") of the Trustee, or its authorized agent, in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Standard Terms. [IDENTIFY BY Name], as securities intermediary with respect to the Securities Account (in such capacity, the "Securities Intermediary"), has agreed to treat the Underlying Securities as "financial assets" within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. (iii) Immediately prior to the transfer of the Underlying Securities to the Trust, the Depositor owned and had good and marketable title to the Underlying Securities free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. (iv) The Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Underlying Securities to the transfer to the Trustee of its interest and rights in the Underlying Securities as contemplated by the Trust Agreement. (v) The Depositor has taken all steps necessary to cause the Securities Intermediary to identify on its records the Trustee, as the trustee of the Trust, as the Person having a security entitlement to the Securities Account. (vi) The Depositor has not assigned, pledged, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any interest in the Underlying Securities (or, if any such interest has been assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered, it has been released). The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against Depositor that includes a description of the Underlying Securities. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor. -23- (vii) The Securities Account is not in the name of any Person other than the Trustee. The Depositor has not consented to the compliance by the Securities Intermediary with entitlement orders (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) of any Person other than the Trustee, as trustee of the Trust. -24- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Series Supplement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the date first written above.
