The "Trust Property" will consist of (i) the Underlying Notes and all payments on or collections in respect of such Underlying Notes and (ii) all Eligible Investments and all funds from time to time deposited in segregated accounts held by the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders other than the Expense Reserve Account.  Legal title to all Trust Property shall be vested in the Trust, except that the Trustee may cause legal title to any Trust Property to be held by or in the name of any Trustee or any other Person as nominee.  No Certificateholder shall be deemed to have a severable ownership interest in any individual asset of the Trust or any right of partition or possession thereof.


 


Section 3.02         Administration of the Trust.


 


(a)           Except as otherwise specified herein, the Trustee shall administer the Trust Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  In administering the Trust Property, the Trustee shall follow the collection procedures specified in the Underlying Notes and shall perform all other duties set forth herein. The duties of the Trustee shall be performed in accordance with applicable law.


 


(b)           Subject to Article VIII, the Trustee is hereby authorized to perform, and from time to time hereafter, shall perform only those acts which are described in this Agreement as obligations of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee is hereby specifically authorized to do the following on behalf of the Trust: to accept delivery of the Underlying Notes; to execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates; to establish and maintain the Certificate Account hereunder; to pledge the Trust Property to secure the obligations of the Trust; to make Eligible Investments pursuant to Section 3.06; and to make distributions pursuant to Article IV.


 




  





12











  






 


(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee shall not permit the Trust to engage in any business or activities other than receiving and holding the Underlying Notes or other Trust Property as provided herein in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders, issuing the Certificates, making Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 3.06 and distributions pursuant to Article IV and performing its duties set forth herein; provided, that the Trustee shall not cause the Trust to engage in any business or activity which will cause it to be required to be registered under the Investment Company Act or which would cause the Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or otherwise alter the classification of the Trust for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.


 


(d)           The Trustee shall not Transfer the Underlying Notes or other Trust Property, or any interest of the Trust therein, to any Person or Persons, except to a successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08 or as otherwise expressly specified hereunder. This Section 3.02(d) shall not be construed to prohibit Transfers of the Certificates or removal of any Underlying Notes from the Trust Property as expressly specified herein. In addition, the Trustee shall not acquire any asset or make any investment except as contemplated within the definition of Trust Property.


 


(e)           The Trustee shall be legally entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and privileges as a registered holder or beneficial owner of the Underlying Notes, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.  However, neither the Trustee (except as specifically provided herein or in the TIA) nor the Depositor shall be under any obligation whatsoever to appear in, prosecute or defend any Proceeding in respect of Underlying Notes or Certificates.


 


(f)            The Trustee shall not take any action that is reasonably likely to (i) impair the interests of the Trust in any Underlying Notes or any other Trust Property, (ii) impair the value of any Underlying Notes or any other Trust Property, (iii) require the Trust to be registered under the Investment Company Act or (iv) cause the Trust to be taxed as a corporation or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or otherwise alter the classification of the Trust for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, and the Trustee shall not fail to take any action that is reasonably likely to avoid any of the matters referred to in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above.


 


Section 3.03         Collection of Certain Underlying Note Payments.  The Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all payments required to be made by each Underlying Issuer pursuant to the terms of its Underlying Notes in a manner consistent with the terms of such Underlying Notes.


 


Section 3.04         Sale.  The parties hereto agree and intend that the Transfer of Underlying Notes to the Trust by the Depositor and all proceeds thereof shall be treated as a sale and purchase by the Trust and not as a loan or a pledge to secure a loan. If for any reason such Transfer is deemed to be as a loan or a pledge to secure a loan, the parties intend that this Agreement shall be a security agreement pursuant to which there shall be deemed to have been granted to the Trustee a security interest in all right, title and interest in and to the Underlying Notes and to the obligation to the Trustee for Trust Expenses specified herein. If the Trust terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Certificateholder under any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Certificateholder.

The Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Certificate Account all amounts collected with respect to the Underlying Notes, including:


 


(i)             all payments received by the Trustee on account of principal of the Underlying Notes;

On the day on which any funds are deposited in the Certificate Account, the Securities Intermediary shall either distribute such funds in accordance with Section 4.01 hereof or, as applicable, invest such funds in Eligible Investments, (to the extent funds are received in time to be invested), in accordance with Section 3.06 hereof. 
   




(iii)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, if at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any notification or entitlement order from the Trustee directing it to transfer or redeem any financial asset or other property relating to the Certificate Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such notification or other entitlement order without further consent by the Depositor or any other Person.

Section 3.11         Removal of Underlying Notes Upon Final Judgment.  Upon the Trustee's receipt of written notice or its actual knowledge of any action brought under any U.S. federal or State securities laws in respect of an Underlying Note of any Underlying Issuer, the Trustee shall promptly notify Certificateholders about the existence of such action and the Trustee's role, if any, in such action.

(a)           Distributions on a Certificate that are payable on a Regular Distribution Date other than the Final Scheduled Distribution Date or a Special Distribution Date (other than a Special Distribution Date resulting from the optional redemption of Underlying Notes) shall be made to the Person in whose name such Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Certificates) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding such Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be.  Distributions on Certificates on such Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be, shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Certificate Register.  Distributions on Certificates on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date, on a Special Distribution Date resulting from the optional redemption of Underlying Notes or upon a removal of Underlying Notes from the Trust Property under the circumstances prescribed in this Agreement shall be made in same-day funds against presentation and surrender of such Certificates to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments on Global Certificates shall be made in same-day funds on the applicable Distribution Date.

(b)           Subject to the terms of this Agreement to the contrary, each Certificate delivered under this Agreement upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Certificate shall carry the rights to amounts to be distributed that are accrued and undistributed, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Certificate.


 


Section 5.06         Persons Deemed Owners.  Subject to Section 5.05, prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions on such Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Certificate be overdue, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee or any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


None of the Depositor, the Trustee or any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Certificate, nothing herein shall prevent the Depositor, the Trustee or any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such Global Certificate or impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Certificate, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Certificate.


 


Section 5.07         Cancellation.  All Certificates presented and surrendered for payment, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it.  No Certificates shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificates canceled as provided in this Section 5.07.


 


Section 5.08         Currency of Distributions in Respect of Certificates.  Distributions on the Certificates will be made in Dollars.


 


Section 5.09         Appointment of Paying Agent.


 


(a)           The Trustee may appoint one or more paying agents (each, a "Paying Agent") with respect to the Certificates.  Any such Paying Agent shall be authorized to make distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee.  The Trustee may 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 Agreement in any material respect or if the Paying Agent fails to satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 5.09.  The Trustee is hereby initially appointed a Paying Agent.  Any Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 calendar days' written notice to the Trustee.  In the event that the Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent and the Depositor has not appointed a co-Paying Agent, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Paying Agent.  The Trustee shall cause each such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that it will hold all sums, if any, held by it for distribution to the Certificateholders in an Eligible Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be distributed to such Certificateholders.  The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Trustee within two years from the time such funds were first eligible to be claimed.


 




  





30











  






 


 (b)           The Paying Agent shall at all times be a corporation or an association the combined capital and surplus of which is at least $200,000,000 (or is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank holding company having a consolidated capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000) and the long-term debt obligations of which are rated in one of the four highest categories assigned long-term debt obligations by each of the Rating Agencies and shall be subject to supervision or examination by U.S. federal or State authority.  If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then 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. In the event that at any time the Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.09(b), the Paying Agent shall release all Trust Property to the Trustee and then resign immediately.  Upon the receipt by the Trustee of notice of such resignation, the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor Paying Agent in accordance with Section 5.09(a). 
   




(c)           The terms of Article VIII, as applicable, shall apply to the Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent.


 


Section 5.10         Authenticating Agent.


 


(a)           The Trustee may appoint any one or more Authenticating Agents (each, an "Authenticating Agent") with respect to the Certificates which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Certificates in connection with the issuance, delivery and registration or transfer or exchange of the Certificates.  Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's unit of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent must be reasonably acceptable to the Depositor.


 


(b)           Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent without the execution or filling 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 the Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by signing and delivering a written 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 Authenticating Agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Trustee or the Depositor, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent.  Subsequent to any such removal or resignation of the Authenticating Agent, the Trustee shall act as Authenticating Agent until a successor Authenticating Agent, if any, is appointed. 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.

(c)           The Depositor agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 5.10.


 


(d)           The provision of Sections 8.01, 8.02 and 8.03 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.


 


(e)           Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section 5.10, 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 referred to in the within-mentioned Trust Agreement.


 


_________________________


as Authenticating Agent for the Trustee,


 


By________________________


               Authorized Signatory"


 


Section 5.11         Issuance Matters.


 


(a)           The Certificates shall be issued on the Closing Date upon (i) deposit of the Underlying Notes into the Trust by the Depositor in exchange for all the Certificates and (ii) the due authentication by the Trustee of the Certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.


 


(b)           Any Global Certificate representing Certificates shall be exchangeable for Certificated Certificates only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Depositor that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Certificates or the Depositor determines that the Depositary is unable to continue as depositary, and the Depositor thereupon fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 60 calendar days or (ii) the Depositor, in its sole discretion, at any time determines not to have Certificates represented by Global Certificates.  Any Global Certificate that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for Certificated Certificates of like tenor and Certificated Principal Balance, in any authorized denomination or denominations and registered in the names of such Person or Persons as the Depositary shall direct.  Upon such exchange, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate such Certificated Certificates and register the same in the name of, and deliver the same to, such Person or Persons consistent with Section 5.02.


 


(c)           Any Global Certificate representing Certificates shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:


 




  





32











  






 


"This Certificate is a Global Certificate within the meaning of the Trust Agreement hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of a Depositary.  This Certificate is exchangeable for Certificates registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Trust Agreement, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor."


 


(d)           Each Person that purchases a Certificate will be deemed to represent that its acquisition of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction. In addition, in the event the Certificates do not constitute Publicly Offered Securities, each Person that purchases a Certificate on behalf of an employee benefit plan or other plan that is subject to the provisions of ERISA Section 406 or Section 4975 of the Code will be deemed to represent that: (i) the plan is so represented in this regard by a QPAM or INHAM (as those terms are defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTE") 84-14 and PTE 96-23, respectively) and will be so represented for so long as such plan holds the related Certificate, and that the other conditions of PTE 84-14 or PTE 96-23 are and will at all times be satisfied, (ii) the conditions to the applicability of PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 91-38 are and will at all times be satisfied, or (iii) the conditions of another applicable exemption are and will at all times be satisfied, such that in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above the applicable exemption applies to the purchase, continued holding and disposition of such Certificate, as well as to the underlying transactions of the Trust.


 


Section 5.12         Survivor’s Option.


 


(a)           If so specified in any Certificate, the representative of a beneficial owner of such Certificate shall have the option to elect repurchase of such Certificate (or portion thereof) following the death of the beneficial owner of such Certificate (a “Survivor’s Option”); provided however, that the Certificate was acquired by such beneficial owner at least six months prior to the request, and provided, further that the Trust shall only repurchase such Certificate (or portion thereof) to the extent that (i) the Underlying Notes also have survivor’s option provisions that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, may elect to exercise on behalf of the beneficial owner of such Certificate and (ii) the issuer of the Underlying Notes honors such election by the Trustee.


 


(b)           If such Underlying Notes do not have survivor’s option provisions, pursuant to the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option by the Representative (as defined below) of the beneficial owner, the Trustee shall distribute, subject to the provisions set forth below, those Underlying Notes to such Representative.


 


(c)           Pursuant to the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option, the Trust shall repurchase any Certificate (or portion thereof) properly tendered for repurchase by or on behalf of the person (the “Representative”) that has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of a Certificate under the laws of the appropriate jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the personal representative or executor of the deceased beneficial owner or surviving joint owner with such deceased beneficial owner) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such deceased beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in such Certificate (subject to the limitations set forth in (a) above) plus accrued interest to the date of such repurchase less future or unamortized trust expenses and any processing fees required to be paid to the Trustee by the Person exercising the Survivor’s Option.  Any Certificate (or portion thereof) tendered pursuant to a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn.  Following repurchase of any Certificate as to which the Survivor’s Option has been validly exercised, such Certificate will be cancelled and will not be reissued.


 




  





33











  






 


(d)           Each Certificate (or portion thereof) that is tendered pursuant to valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted in the order all such Certificates are received by the Trustee, except for any Certificate (or portion thereof) the acceptance of which would contravene a Put Limitation, if any.  If as of the end of any calendar year, the aggregate principal amount of Certificates (or portions thereof) that have been tendered pursuant to the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option during such year has exceeded a Put Limitation, if any, any exercise(s) of the Survivor’s Option with respect to Certificates (or portions thereof) not accepted during such calendar year because such acceptance would have contravened such Put Limitation, if applied, shall be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order all such Certificates (or portions thereof) were originally tendered.  Any Certificate (or portion thereof) accepted for repurchase pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option shall be repurchased by the Trust on a quarterly basis.  At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Trustee will aggregate all accepted exercises of the Survivor’s Option.  If, upon aggregation, the Certificates to be repurchased pursuant to a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option do not aggregate to an integral multiple of the authorized minimum denomination of each Underlying Note, the Administrative Agent may purchase, in the open market, the number of Certificates necessary to make the Certificates to be so repurchased equal an integral multiple of the authorized minimum denomination of the Underlying Note.  On the first Regular Distribution Date that occurs 20 or more calendar days after the date of completion of the aggregate process described herein, to the extent the Trust receives, by such time, sufficient proceeds from the exercise of the Survivor’s Option contained in the related Underlying Notes, those Survivor’s Options accepted for repurchase or redemption will be so redeemed or repurchased by the Trust.  In the event that a Certificate (or any portion thereof) tendered for redemption or repurchase pursuant to valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted, the Trustee shall deliver a notice, by first-class mail to the registered holder thereof at its last known address as indicated in the Certificate Register, that states the reason such Certificate (or portion thereof) has not been accepted for repurchase.


 


(e)            In order for a Survivor’s Option to be validly exercised with respect to any Certificate (or portion thereof), the Trustee must receive from the Representative of the deceased beneficial owner (i) a written request for repurchase signed by the Representative, and such signature must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution (as set forth in Section 5.03(b)); (ii) tender of a Certificate (or portion thereof) to be repurchased; (iii) appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that (A) the deceased was the beneficial owner of the Certificate at the time of death, (B) the death of such beneficial owner has occurred, (C) the Representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner, (D) such deceased beneficial owner acquired such Certificate at least six months prior to the request, and (E) any other conditions applicable to such Survivor’s Option have been satisfied; (iv) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement; (v) if the interest in such Certificate is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such nominee attesting to the deceased’s beneficial ownership in such Certificate; (vi) tax waivers and such other instruments or documents that the Trustee  reasonably requires in order to establish the validity of the beneficial ownership of the Certificates and the claimants entitlement to repurchase; and (vii) any additional information the Trustee requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor’s Option or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election or to cause the repurchase of the Certificates.  All questions as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by the Trustee, in consultation with the Depositor, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties.


 




  





34











  






 


(f)           For Certificates represented by a Global Certificate, the Depositary or its nominee shall be the holder of such Certificate and therefore can be the only entity that can exercise the Survivor’s Option for such Certificate.  To obtain repurchase pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option with respect to such Certificate, the Representative must provide to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in such Certificate is held by the deceased beneficial owner (i) the items described in the preceding paragraph and (ii) instructions to such broker or other entity to notify the Depositary of such Representative’s desire to obtain repurchase pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option.  Such broker or other entity shall provide to the Trustee (i) the documents received from the Representative referred to in clause (i) of the preceding sentence and (ii) a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such broker or other entity stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner.  Such broker or other entity shall be responsible for disbursing any payments it receives pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option to the appropriate Representative.

Section 6.01         Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.


 


(a)          The Depositor represents and warrants to the Trustee that as of the Closing Date:


 


(i)            the Depositor is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;


 


(ii)           the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Depositor will not violate the Depositor's Limited Liability Company Agreement or constitute a default under, or result in the breach or acceleration of, any contract, agreement or other  instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which the Depositor or any of its assets is bound;


 


(iii)           the Depositor has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and


 




  





35











  






 


(iv)           the Depositor is not in violation, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Depositor will not constitute a violation, of any order decree of any court or any order or regulation of any U.S. federal or State governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Depositor or any of its assets, which violation would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Depositor's duties and obligations under this Agreement.


 


(b)           It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Underlying Notes by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Underlying Notes by the Depositor and not a pledge of any Underlying Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. In connection with the grant of a security interest in any Underlying Notes, the Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee that as of the Closing Date:


 


(i)            In the event such Underlying Notes are held to be property of the Depositor, then this Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in such Underlying Notes in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens, claims or other encumbrances and is enforceable as such against creditors of, and purchasers from, the Depositor;


 


(ii)            Such Underlying Notes have been credited to the Certificate Account;


 


(iii)           Immediately prior to the conveyance of such Underlying Notes to the Trust, the Depositor owned and had good and marketable title to such Underlying Notes free and clear of any lien, claim or other encumbrance of any Person;


 


(iv)           The Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of such Underlying Notes to the conveyance to the Trustee of its interest and rights in such Underlying Notes as contemplated by this Agreement;


 


(v)            The Depositor has not assigned, pledged, granted a security interest in, sold or otherwise conveyed any interest in such Underlying Notes (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 includes a description of such Underlying Notes; and the Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor; and


 


(vi)           The Certificate Account is not in the name of any Person other than the Trustee; and the Depositor has not consented to the compliance by the Trustee with entitlement orders of any Person other than the Trustee, as trustee of the Trust.


 




  





36











  






 


Section 6.02         Breach of Representation or Warranty.  Upon the Depositor's discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 6.01 that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Certificateholders, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee of such breach and shall use its reasonable efforts to cure such breach in all material respects within five Business Days of its discovery.


 


Section 6.03         Liability of the Depositor.  The Depositor shall be liable in accordance with this Agreement only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon it under this Agreement.


 


Section 6.04         Limitation on Liability of the Depositor.


 


(a)           Unless otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, the Depositor shall not be under any obligation to expend or risk its own funds, except to the extent of its obligation to pay any amount payable under Section 8.05(b) hereof, or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if reasonable grounds exist for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it.


 


(b)           Unless otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, the Depositor shall not have any liability, for any losses, costs or damages or otherwise, to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any act or omission except for its willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties specifically set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the managers, officers, employees and agents of the Depositor shall not have any liability, for any losses, costs or damages or otherwise, to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any act or omission, whether on their part or on the part of the Depositor or otherwise.


 


(c)           Unless otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, the Depositor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any Proceeding; provided, however, that the Depositor may in its discretion undertake any such Proceeding which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement.


 


(d)           The sole obligor with respect to any Underlying Note is the Underlying Issuer thereof. The Depositor shall not have any obligation on or with respect to the Underlying Notes. The Depositor, in its capacity as the depositor of the Underlying Notes into the Trust under this Agreement, is not authorized to proceed against the Underlying Issuer of any Underlying Note upon the occurrence of a Default Event or otherwise or to assert the rights and privileges of Certificateholders (except to the extent the Depositor is otherwise a Certificateholder) and has no duty in respect thereof.


 


Section 6.05         Depositor May Purchase Certificates.  The Depositor or its Affiliates 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.

ARTICLE VII


RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS


 


Section 7.01         Voting Rights with Respect to Underlying Notes.


 




  





38











  






 


(a)           Within five Business Days after receipt of notice of any meeting of, or other occasion for the exercise of voting rights or the giving of consents or waivers, or the acceptance of a tender offer, by, registered holders of any of the Underlying Notes, the Trustee shall give notice to the Certificateholders setting forth (i) a Record Date established therefor by the Trustee, (ii) such information as is contained in such notice to registered holders of such Underlying Notes, (iii) a statement that the Certificateholders as of such record date will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of law and any applicable terms of such Underlying Notes, to direct the Trustee as to the exercise of voting rights or giving of consents or waivers or the acceptance of a tender offer, if any, that the Trustee, as the registered holder of such Underlying Notes, is entitled to exercise or give or accept, as the case may be, and (iv) a statement as to the manner in which instructions may be given to the Trustee.


 


(b)           The voting, consent or waiver or tender rights allocable to the registered holders of Underlying Notes pursuant to the terms thereof will be allocated among the Certificateholders on a pro rata basis (based on their respective Fractional Undivided Interests) as of a record date established therefor by the Trustee, and upon the written direction of the Certificateholders, received on or before the record date established by the Trustee for such purpose, the Trustee shall, insofar as practicable and permitted under any applicable provision of law and any applicable provision of the related Underlying Notes, vote and/or tender the principal amount of Underlying Notes that coincides with each such Certificateholder's Certificate Principal Balance in accordance with any nondiscretionary instruction set forth in the written direction of each such Certificateholder; provided, however, that neither the Trustee, in its capacity as such under this Agreement (subject to the provisions of 7.02), nor any Certificateholder may (subject to the provisions of 7.02) (i) take any action that would affect the conditions under which Underlying Notes may be removed from Trust Property or (ii) declare an event of default in respect of any Underlying Notes or waive any event of default thereunder.


 


(c)           In the absence of any written direction from the Certificateholders in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee shall not exercise any voting, consent or waiver rights with respect to the Underlying Notes.


 


(d)           The Trustee shall endeavor to notify Certificateholders of such rights or discretionary actions or of the date or dates by when such rights must be exercised or such action must be taken provided that the Trustee has received, with respect to Underlying Notes issued in the United States, from the related Underlying Issuer timely notice of such rights or discretionary corporate action or of the date or dates such rights must be exercised or such action must be taken. If the Trustee shall not actually receive such notice, the Trustee shall have no liability for failing to so notify Certificateholders.


 


Section 7.02         Direction of Remedies.  The holders of a majority in aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Outstanding Certificates shall have the right to direct any Proceeding for any remedy in respect of any Underlying Note available to the Trustee as the registered holder of such Underlying Note.  Holders of a majority in aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Outstanding Certificates also have the right to direct the Trustee to direct any Proceeding for any remedy available to the applicable trustee of the Underlying Note Agreement under which any Underlying Note is issued.


 




  





39











  






 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon request of any Certificateholder, the Trustee, on behalf of such Certificateholder, shall enforce any of the Trustee's rights under U.S. federal or State securities laws as the purchaser of Underlying Notes from the related Underlying Issuers and shall promptly notify the Certificateholders that it has received such a request and is pursuing such enforcement.
