Any portion of the Available Funds (i) that does not constitute principal of, or interest on, the Underlying Securities, (ii) that is not received in connection with a redemption, prepayment or liquidation of the Underlying Securities and (iii) for which allocation by the Trustee is not otherwise contemplated by this Series Supplement, shall be remitted by the Trustee to the certificateholders. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underlying Securities are redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part prior to the Final Scheduled Distribution Date due to the 11 occurrence of an Underlying Securities Payment Default, an Underlying Securities Bankruptcy Default, an SEC Reporting Failure, a Trust Swap Payment Default or a Trust Regulatory Event, the proceeds received by the Trustee and any Early Termination Payment payable from the Swap Counterparty to the Trust, pursuant to the Swap Agreement will be allocated as follows: (i) first, to the Swap Counterparty, in an amount equal to any Early Termination Payment payable by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty and (ii) thereafter, any remainder will be paid to the certificateholders. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Underlying Securities are redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or in part for any reason other than due to the occurrence of an Underlying Securities Payment Default, an Underlying Securities Bankruptcy Default, an SEC Reporting Failure, a Trust Swap Payment Default or a Trust Regulatory Event, then the proceeds received by the Trust in connection with the related redemption, prepayment or liquidation will be paid: (i) first, to the certificateholders, in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the principal amount of the Underlying Securities so redeemed or prepaid and (y) any accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of Certificates so redeemed or prepaid; and (ii) any remainder shall be paid to the Swap Counterparty as compensation for any Early Termination Payment. In the event only a portion of the Underlying Securities are redeemed, prepaid or liquidated, the amount set forth in clause (ii) above shall represent the full amount payable to the Swap Counterparty as compensation for any Early Termination Payment. In the event the amount of the Early Termination Payment shall exceed the amount set forth in clause (ii) above, the Swap Counterparty shall not have a claim for additional payment. Section 6. Early Redemption of Certificates. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Underlying Securities Payment Default, an Underlying Securities Bankruptcy Default, a Trust Swap Payment Default, a Trust Regulatory Event or SEC Reporting Failure, thirty (30) days after giving notice pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Trustee shall sell the Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 15 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 in accordance with Sections 5(b) hereof, provided, however, that if a certificateholder designates an 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 exchanging certificateholder pursuant to Section 7.

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 on a dollar-for-dollar basis. (d) Within five Business Days (or such longer period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) of receipt of notice of a Trust Termination Event occurring in connection with a redemption, prepayment or liquidation in whole or in part of the Underlying Securities, each certificateholder may direct the Trustee to distribute all or a portion of such certificateholder's pro rata share of the Underlying Securities to it, in lieu of any proceeds received upon liquidation of the Underlying Securities.

(b) On (A) any Distribution Date or (B) any date on which the Underlying Securities Issuer or an affiliate thereof consummates a tender offer or exchange offer for some or all of the Underlying Securities, Lehman Brothers Inc. or any Affiliate thereof may exchange such Certificates for a distribution of Underlying Securities representing the same percentage of the Underlying Securities as such Certificates represent of all outstanding Certificates, provided, however, that (i) the Trustee shall have received a certification from the certificateholder that any Certificates being surrendered have been held for at least six months, (ii) the Certificates being surrendered may represent no more than 5% (or 25% in the case of Certificates acquired by the Underwriters but never distributed to investors) of the then outstanding Certificates and (iii) an Optional Exchange pursuant to this Section 7(b) will not be permitted to occur more frequently than once in any six month calendar period. 13 (c) The following conditions shall apply to any Optional Exchange.

(ii) Certificates shall be surrendered to the Trustee no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Optional Exchange Date. (iii) 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.

(vii) The aggregate principal balance 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. (viii) In the event a Termination Payment shall be payable by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty in connection with a termination of the Swap Agreement, in whole or in part, as a result of such Optional Exchange, the payment of such Early Termination Payment will be satisfied by the distribution to the Swap Counterparty of a portion of the Underlying Securities that were to be exchanged for Certificates pursuant to the Optional Exchange, having a fair market value (as determined by the Marketing Agent) equal to such Early Termination Payment. If any Termination Payment shall be payable by the Swap Counterparty, the Trustee will remit such payment to the Person consummating the Optional Exchange. (ix) In the event such Optional Exchange shall occur prior to the Distribution Date in May 2004, 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 February 14 15, 2004 through, but excluding, the Closing Date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Certificates being exchanged on such Optional Exchange Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Certificates. Section 8. 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) 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 Trust Expenses shall not be paid out of the Trust Property unless all the holders of the Certificates then outstanding have directed the Trustee to incur such Extraordinary Trust Expenses. The Trustee may incur other Extraordinary Trust 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 Trust Expenses are not approved unanimously as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8(b), such Extraordinary Trust 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 9. Swap Payments. For so long as the Swap Agreement shall not have been terminated, the Trust shall pay to the Swap Counterparty (i) all interest payments paid to the Trust in respect of the Underlying Securities on the date such amounts are received by the Trust, excluding any amount of interest that accrued with respect to the Underlying Securities from the Underlying Securities Payment Date next preceding the Closing Date to, but excluding, the Closing Date and (ii) upon the occurrence of any Swap Agreement Termination Event that is also a Trust Termination Event or a Swap Termination Event due to an Optional Redemption or other prepayment of the Underlying Securities or an Optional Exchange, an amount equal to any Early Termination Payment owed by it to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement. Section 10. Notices of Swap Agreement Termination Events and Underlying Securities Events of Default. As promptly as practicable after, and in any event within 30 days after, the occurrence of any Swap Agreement Termination Event or Underlying Securities Event of Default actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give notice of such Swap Agreement Termination Event or Underlying Securities Event of Default to the Depository, or, if any Certificates are not then held by DTC or any other depository, directly to the registered holders of such Certificates.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee may be removed upon 60 days prior written notice delivered by the holders of Certificates representing the Required Percentage-Removal. Section 2.01(f) of the Standard Terms shall be superseded by this provision. (i) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service challenges the characterization of the Trust as a grantor trust, the Trustee shall then file such forms as the Depositor may specify to establish the Trust's election pursuant to Section 761 of the Code to exclude the Trust from the application of Subchapter K of the Code and is hereby empowered to execute such forms on behalf of the certificateholders. (j) Notwithstanding anything in the Standard Terms to the contrary, the Trustee, upon written direction by the Depositor, will execute the Certificates. (k) The Trustee shall appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants to determine that the asset of the Trust exists at the balance sheet date and that such asset of the Trust reflects the correct value on that date and to review each of the distribution reports prepared by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Standard Terms and to verify (x) that such reports and the calculations made therein were made accurately and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and (y) that the Depositor and the Trustee have each fulfilled their obligations under this Trust Agreement.

(l) In relation to Section 7.01(f) of the Standard Terms, any periodic reports filed by the Trustee pursuant to the Exchange Act in accordance with the customary practices of the Depositor, need not contain any independent reports. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any references in such reports (or any exhibits attached thereto) to "servicing obligations" of the Trustee shall be limited to the obligations of the Trustee expressly set forth in the Trust Agreement. (m) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee will have no recourse to the Underlying Securities. (n) The Trust will not merge or consolidate with any other entity without confirmation from each Rating Agency that such merger or consolidation will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current rating on the Certificates.

THIS SERIES SUPPLEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF. Section 13. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Section 14. Termination of the Trust. The Trust shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the distribution in full of all amounts due to the certificateholders following a Swap Agreement Termination Event; (ii) the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and (iii) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof. Section 15. Sale of Underlying Securities. In the event of a sale of the Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Marketing Agent shall sell the Underlying Securities in accordance with the Sale Procedures. In the event of an Optional Exchange, the Trustee shall only deliver the Underlying Securities to the purchaser of such Underlying Securities or sell the Underlying Securities pursuant to this Section 15, as the case may be, against payment in same day funds deposited into the Certificate Account. Section 16. Amendments. Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, in addition to the other restrictions on modification and amendment contained therein, the Trustee shall not enter into any amendment or modification of the Trust Agreement which would adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the holders of the Certificates without the consent of the holders of 100% of such Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment or modification will be permitted which would cause the Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Trustee shall not enter into any amendment or modification of the Trust Agreement that would affect the method, amount or timing of payment due to the Swap Counterparty or the consent rights of the Swap Counterparty hereunder without the prior written consent of the Swap Counterparty. Unless otherwise agreed, the Trustee shall provide five Business Days written notice to each Rating Agency and the Swap Counterparty before entering into any amendment or modification of the Trust Agreement pursuant to this Section 16. Section 17. Voting of Underlying Securities, Modification of Underlying Securities Trust Agreement, Modification of Swap Agreement. (a) The Trustee, as holder of the Underlying Securities, has the right to vote and give consents and waivers in respect of the Underlying Securities as permitted by the Depository and except as otherwise limited by the Trust Agreement. In the event that the Trustee receives a 19 request from the Depository, the Underlying Securities Trustee or the Underlying Securities Issuer for its consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of the Underlying Securities, the Underlying Securities Trust Agreement or any other document thereunder or relating thereto, or receives any other solicitation for any action with respect to the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall mail a notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation to the Swap Counterparty and each certificateholder of record as of such date. The certificateholders shall have all rights to vote on any matters with respect to the Underlying Securities, and in such event: (i) the Trustee shall request instructions from the certificateholders as to whether or not to consent to or vote to accept such amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation; (ii) 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 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. However, notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary (including this Section 17), the Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter (A) unless such vote or consent would not (based on an opinion of counsel) cause the Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the Code, (B) 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 Certificates, or (C) 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 Underlying Securities Trust Agreement and only with the consent of certificateholders representing 100% of the Certificates. The Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act resulting from late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the certificateholders. (b) In the event that an offer is made by the Underlying Securities Issuer or any other Person 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 Swap Counterparty and the certificateholders of such offer promptly. The Trustee must reject any such offer unless a default on the Underlying Securities shall have occurred, and the Trustee is directed by affirmative vote of the holders of 100% of the Certificates to accept such offer and the Trustee has received the tax opinion described above. If pursuant to the preceding two sentences, the Trustee accepts any such offer the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies. (c) If an event of default under the Underlying Securities Trust Agreement occurs and is continuing, and if directed by a majority of the outstanding 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 the unpaid principal amount of the Underlying Securities and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable. 20 (d) Until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an event that would constitute a Swap Agreement Termination Event, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume (and shall be fully protected, indemnified and held harmless in doing so, in accordance with Section 7.12 of the Standard Terms) that no Swap Agreement Termination Event has occurred and may accordingly seek instructions under this Section 17 exclusively from the Swap Counterparty. (e) The Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to the Swap Agreement unless (i) it shall have received the prior consent to such amendment of certificateholders representing 66 2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights and (ii) each Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing that such amendment will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Certificates; provided, however, the Trustee may consent to any amendment to the Swap Agreement without the consent of the certificateholders to cure any ambiguity in, or to correct or supplement any provision of the Swap Agreement which may be inconsistent with any other provision thereof, or to otherwise cure any defect therein, provided that any such amendment does not materially adversely affect the interest of the certificateholders and that each Rating Agency shall have given its prior written confirmation that such amendment will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Certificates; provided further, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to the Swap Agreement that alters the timing or amount of any payment on the Swap Agreement unless (i) it shall have received the prior consent to such amendment of certificateholders representing 100% of the aggregate Voting Rights and (ii) each Rating Agency been given prior written notice of any such amendment (and no rating confirmation shall be required). Section 18. 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 and all proceeds thereof 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 and all proceeds thereof (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 UCC) in the Underlying Securities in favor of the Securities Intermediary 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") established in the name of the Trustee in accordance 21 with Section 2.01 of the Standard Terms. U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as securities intermediary (the "Securities Intermediary") has established the Securities Account and has agreed to treat the Underlying Securities as "financial assets" within the meaning of the UCC. (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 for the transfer to the Trustee all of the Depositor's 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 that the Trustee is the Person owning the security entitlements credited to the Securities Account. (vi) Other than the security interest granted to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement, 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 the Depositor that include a description of the Underlying Securities other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trust hereunder. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor. (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 of any Person other than the Trustee. 22 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.

A-7 EXHIBIT B FORM OF SWAP AGREEMENT B-1 (Multicurrency--Cross Border) ISDA(R) International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. MASTER AGREEMENT dated as of March 19, 2004 among LEHMAN BROTHERS SPECIAL FINANCING INC. and CORPORATE BACKED TRUST CERTIFICATES, GOLDMAN SACHS CAPITAL I SECURITIES-BACKED SERIES 2004-6 TRUST (Party A) (Party B) have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a "Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions. Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: -- 1. Interpretation (a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement. (b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction. (c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions. 2. Obligations (a) General Conditions. (i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. (ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement. (iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement. (b) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change. (c) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable: -- (i) in the same currency; and (ii) in respect of the same Transaction, by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount. The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries. (d) Deduction or Withholding for Tax. (i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party ("X") will: -- (1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement; (2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y; (3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and (4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the Full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for: -- (A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or (B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law. 2 (ii) Liability. If: -- (1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4); (2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and (3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X, then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)). (e) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement. 3. Representations Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement) that: -- (a) Basic Representations. (i) Status. It is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing; (ii) Powers.

Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets; (iv) Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and (v) Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)). 3 (b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or perforating its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party. (c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document. (d) Accuracy of Specified Information.

It will deliver to the other party or, in certain cases under subparagraph (iii) below, to such government or taxing authority as the other party reasonably directs: -- (i) any forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation; (ii) any other documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation; and (iii) upon reasonable demand by such other party, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow such other party or its Credit Support Provider to make a payment under this Agreement or any applicable Credit Support Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification, in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if none is specified, as soon as reasonably practicable. (b) Maintain Authorisations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect all consents of any governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and will use all reasonable efforts to obtain any that may become necessary in the future.

Events of Default and Termination Events (a) Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an "Event of Default") with respect to such party: -- (i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the party; (ii) Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(c) or to give notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the party; (iii) Credit Support Default. (1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed by it in accordance with any Credit Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable grace period has elapsed; (2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of the other party; or (3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the validity of, such Credit Support Document; (iv) Misrepresentation. A representation (other than a representation under Section 3(e) or (f)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated; (v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf); (vi) Cross Default. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however 5 described) in respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them (individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being declared, due and payable under such agreements or instruments, before it would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period); (vii) Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party: -- (1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof, (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or (viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer: -- (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or (2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement. (b) Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event 6 Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below: -- (i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party): -- (1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or (2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction; (ii) Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)); (iii) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii); (iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or (v) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event" is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation). (c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default. 7 6. Early Termination (a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, "Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8). (b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event. (i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require. (ii) Transfer to avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist. If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i). Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed. (iii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event. (iv) Right to Terminate If: -- (1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or (2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party, either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then 8 continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions. (c) Effect of Designation. (i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing. (ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e). (d) Calculations. (i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation. (ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. (e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a payment method, either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off. (i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default: -- (1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. (2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. (3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the 9 Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party. (4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party. (ii) Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event: -- (1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions. (2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties: -- (A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and (B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss ("Y"). If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y (iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii). (iv) Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses. 10 7. Transfer Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that: -- (a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and (b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e). Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void. 8. Contractual Currency (a) Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess. (b) Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is convened into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party. The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency. (c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement. (d) Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made. 11 9. Miscellaneous (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto. (b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system. (c) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any Transaction. (d) Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law. (e) Counterparts and Confirmations. (i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original. (ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation. (f) No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. (g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement. 10. Offices; Multibranch Parties (a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into. (b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party. (c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation. 11. Expenses A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document 12 to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection. 12. Notices (a) Effectiveness. Any notice or other communication in respect of this Agreement may be given in any manner set forth below (except that a notice or other communication under Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system) to the address or number or in accordance with the electronic messaging system details, provided (see the Schedule) and will be deemed effective as indicated: -- (i) if in writing and delivered in person or by courier, on the date it is delivered; (ii) if sent by telex, on the date the recipient's answer back is received; (iii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is received by a responsible employee of the recipient in legible form (it being agreed that the burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and will not be met by a transmission report generated by the sender's facsimile machine); (iv) if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted; or (v) if sent by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic message is received, unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Local Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day. (b) Change of Addresses. Either party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications are to be given to it. 13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction (a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law specified in the Schedule. (b) Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably: -- (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York; and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification, extension or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction. (c) Service of Process. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings. If for any 13 reason any party's Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. (d) Waiver of Immunities. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets (irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction of any court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or after judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings. 14.

"Loss" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(1) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party's legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine its Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not) determine its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets. "Market Quotation" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have 15 been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good Faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined. "Non-default Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if it were to fund the relevant amount.

"Potential Event of Default" means any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default. "Reference Market-makers" means four leading dealers in the relevant market, selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in the same city. "Relevant Jurisdiction" means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in which the party is incorporated, organised, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat, (b) where an Office through which the party is acting for purposes of this Agreement is located, (c) in which the party executes this Agreement and (d) in relation to any payment, from or through which such payment is made. "Scheduled Payment Date" means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction. "Set-off" means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement, another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed on, such payer. "Settlement Amount" means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination Date, the sum of: -- (a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined; and (b) such party's Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a commercially reasonable result. "Specified Entity" has the meanings specified in the Schedule. 16 "Specified Indebtedness" means, subject to the Schedule, any obligation (whether present or future, contingent or otherwise, as principal or surety or otherwise) in respect of borrowed money. "Specified Transaction" means, subject to the Schedule, (a) any transaction (including an agreement with respect thereto) now existing or hereafter entered into between one party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party) and the other party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such other party or any applicable Specified Entity of such other party) which is a rate swap transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond option, interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction (including any option with respect to any of these transactions), (b) any combination of these transactions and (c) any other transaction identified as a Specified Transaction in this Agreement or the relevant confirmation. "Stamp Tax" means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax. "Tax" means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this Agreement other than a stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax. "Tax Event" has the meaning specified in Section 5(b). "Tax Event Upon Merger" has the meaning specified in Section 5(b). "Terminated Transactions" means with respect to any Early Termination Date (a) if resulting from a Termination Event, all Affected Transactions and (b) if resulting from an Event of Default, all Transactions (in either case) in effect immediately before the effectiveness of the notice designating that Early Termination Date (or, if "Automatic Early Termination" applies, immediately before that Early Termination Date). "Termination Currency" has the meaning specified in the Schedule. "Termination Currency Equivalent" means, in respect of any amount denominated in the Termination Currency, such Termination Currency amount and, in respect of any amount denominated in a currency other than the Termination Currency (the "Other Currency"), the amount in the Termination Currency determined by the party making the relevant determination as being required to purchase such amount of such Other Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if the relevant Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is determined as of a later date, that later date, with the Termination Currency at the rate equal to the spot exchange rate of the foreign exchange agent (selected as provided below) for the purchase of such Other Currency with the Termination Currency at or about 11:00 a.m. (in the city in which such foreign exchange agent is located) on such date as would be customary for the determination of such a rate for the purchase of such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early Termination Date or that later date. The foreign exchange agent will, if only one party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be selected in good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties. "Termination Event" means an Illegality, a Tax Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger or, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event. "Termination Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to each party (as certified by such party) if it were to fund or of funding such amounts. "Unpaid Amounts" owing to any party means, with respect to an Early Termination Date, the aggregate of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the amounts that became payable (or that would have become payable but for Section 2(a)(iii)) to such party under Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and (b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be settled by delivery to such party on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal to the fair market 17 value of that which was (or would have been) required to be delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or performed to (but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate. Such amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it shall be the average of the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market values reasonably determined by both parties.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and are familiar with originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of: (i) the Trust Agreement; (ii) a securities account control agreement dated as of March 19, 2004 between LABS and U.S. Bank, as trustee and securities intermediary; (iii) the form of the Certificates; (iv) an ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2004 (the "ISDA Master Agreement"), between the Trust and Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc.

As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of LABS, the Swap Counterparty and the Trustee and upon the representations and warranties of the Swap Counterparty and the Trust contained in the Swap Agreement.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that: 1.
