	In order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, the

        Option") to purchase 1,520,709 shares of Common Stock (the "Existing
        Securities," and together with any shares of Common Stock acquired by the
        Shareholder in any capacity after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this
        Agreement by means of purchase, dividend, distribution, exercise of warrants, options or
        other rights to acquire Common Stock or in any other way, the "Securities")
        (the "Option Securities") at $3.56 per share (the "Exercise
        Price") in cash upon the following conditions: (i) if the Merger Agreement is
        terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(iii) or Section 9.1(d)(ii) thereof; or (ii) the
        Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.1(b)(i), Section
        9.1(b)(iii), Section 9.1(d)(i) or Section 9.1(d)(iii) thereof and at any time after the
        date of this Agreement and prior to a termination under this subsection (ii), an
        Acquisition Proposal shall have been received by the Company and/or publicly announced or
        otherwise publicly communicated to the Company’s Shareholders generally and, prior to
        the 90th day after such termination, the Company shall enter into a definitive
        agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal or such Acquisition Proposal is
        consummated; then, in any such case, the Securities Option shall become exercisable, in
        whole or in part, upon the first to occur of any such event and remain exercisable in
        whole or in part until the date which is 90 days after the date of the occurrence of such
        event.
	In the event that Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Securities Option, Merger Sub shall
        send a written notice (the "Notice") to the Shareholder identifying the
        place and date (not less than two nor more than 10 Business Days from the date of the
        Notice) for the closing of such purchase. At the closing, (i) against delivery of the
        Option Securities, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances of any
        kind or nature whatsoever, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to make payment to the
        Shareholder of the aggregate price for the Option Securities by wire transfer of
        immediately available funds; and (ii) the Shareholder shall deliver to Merger Sub a duly
        executed certificate or certificates representing the number of Option Securities
        purchased from the Shareholder, together with transfer powers endorsed in blank relating
        to such certificates. In the event that the Option Securities are acquired by Merger Sub
        pursuant to the exercise of the Securities Option (the "Acquired Securities"),
        the Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, and the Merger Sub shall promptly pay to the
        Shareholder, upon any subsequent disposition, transfer or sale ("Sale")
        of the Acquired Securities during the term of this Agreement an amount per share in cash
        equal to 50% of the difference between the net proceeds received per share in the Sale and
        the Exercise Price. The Merger Sub shall only effect any Sale in an arms’ length bona
        fide transaction to an unaffiliated third party.

    
    	Additional Agreements.

        of the Company as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with Section 8
        below, the Shareholder shall, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, however
        called, or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of the Company, vote
        (or cause to be voted) all Securities then held of record by the Shareholder, (i) in
        favor of the Merger, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement and
        the approval of the terms thereof and each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger

        conditions set forth in Articles 6, 7 or 8 of the Merger Agreement not being
        fulfilled.

          any individual who shall hereafter succeed to any such office or directorship of Parent,
          and each of them individually, the Shareholder’s proxy, which is coupled with an
          interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as this Agreement is in full force and

          Shareholder’s Securities are not irrevocable, and that any such proxies are hereby
          revoked.
	The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into the Merger
          Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder’s execution and delivery of this
          Agreement. The Shareholder hereby affirms that the proxy set forth in this Section 3.(c)

          Shareholder hereby further affirms that the proxy granted herein is coupled with an
          interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as this Agreement is in full force and

        that neither the Shareholder nor any of his representatives or agents shall, directly or
        indirectly, encourage, solicit, participate in or initiate discussions or negotiations
        with, or provide any information to, any corporation, partnership, person or other entity
        or group (other than Parent, any of its affiliates or representatives) concerning any

        discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any
        Acquisition Proposal. The Shareholder will promptly advise Parent of any Acquisition
        Proposal, any inquiry or indication of interest that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal
        or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company (including the identity
        of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of
        interest or request, and the terms thereof) that is made or submitted by any Person during
        the Pre-Closing Period.

        Governmental Body in connection with this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the

        understandings under this Agreement.

    	Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. The Shareholder hereby represents
      and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

      	Ownership of Securities. The Shareholder is the record and Beneficial Owner of the
        Existing Securities. On the date hereof, the Existing Securities constitute all of the
        Securities owned of record or Beneficially Owned (other than Securities owned by (i) the
        Shareholder’s spouse; (ii) a trust for which the Shareholder’s spouse acts as a
        trustee; or (iii) a family limited partnership of which the Shareholder is the general
        partner) by the Shareholder. The Shareholder has sole voting power and sole power to issue
        instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 2 and 3, sole
        power of disposition, sole power to demand appraisal rights and sole power to agree to all
        of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the
        Existing Securities with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights,
        subject to applicable securities laws and the terms of this Agreement.

      	Power; Binding Agreement. The Shareholder has the power and authority to enter into
        and perform all of the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement. The execution,
        delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder will not violate any other
        agreement to which the Shareholder is a party including, without limitation, any voting
        agreement, proxy arrangement, pledge agreement, shareholders agreement or voting trust.
        This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and
        constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Shareholder, enforceable against the
        Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof. There is no beneficiary or holder of a
        voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Shareholder is a
        trustee, or any party to any other agreement or arrangement, whose consent is required for
        the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Shareholder of the
        transactions contemplated hereby.

      	No Conflicts. Except for filings under the Exchange Act, (i) no filing with,
        and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Body for the
        execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder, the consummation by the
        Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by the Shareholder
        with the provisions hereof and (ii) none of the execution and delivery of this
        Agreement by the Shareholder, the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions
        contemplated hereby or compliance by the Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof
        shall (A)  result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice
        or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination,
        cancellation, modification or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or
        provisions of any note, loan agreement, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract,
        commitment, arrangement, understanding, agreement or other instrument or obligation of any
        kind to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder or any of his
        properties or assets may be bound, or (B) violate any order, writ, injunction,
        decree, judgment, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Shareholder or any
        of his properties or assets. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Shareholder nor
        any "immediate family" (as defined in Rule 16a-1(e) of the Exchange Act) member
        of the Shareholder sharing the same household as the Shareholder has acquired Beneficial
        Ownership of any shares of Common Stock during the past six months in a transaction that
        was not exempt under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

      	No Liens; Title. Except as permitted by this Agreement, the Existing Securities and
        the certificates representing the Existing Securities are held by the Shareholder, or by a
        nominee or custodian for the benefit of the Shareholder, free and clear of all liens,
        proxies, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements, encumbrances,
        security interests or other adverse claims, other than any liens or proxies arising under
        this Agreement. Upon purchase of the Securities, Merger Sub will obtain good and
        marketable title to such Securities, free and clear of all adverse claims, liens,
        encumbrances and security interests.

      	No Finder’s Fees. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other
        person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other
        similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based
        upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Shareholder.

      	Reliance by Parent. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is
        entering into, and causing Merger Sub to enter into, the Merger Agreement in reliance upon
        the Shareholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

    	Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub. Each of Parent and Merger
      Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Shareholder as follows: 

      	Power; Binding Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub each has the corporate power and
        authority to enter into and perform all of its respective obligations under this
        Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent and Merger
        Sub will not violate any other agreement to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party. This
        Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger
        Sub and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of each of Parent and Merger Sub,
        enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with the terms hereof.
        Without limiting the foregoing, the indemnification of the Shareholder contained in and as
        set forth in Section 9 below, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of
        Parent, enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof.

      	No Conflicts. Except for filings under the Exchange Act (i) no filing with, and
        no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Body for the execution
        and delivery of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, the consummation by Parent or
        Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by Parent or Merger
        Sub with the provisions hereof and (ii) none of the execution and delivery of this
        Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, the consummation by Parent or Merger Sub of the
        transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Parent or Merger Sub with any of the
        provisions hereof shall (A)  result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with
        or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party
        right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration) under any of the terms,
        conditions or provisions of any note, loan agreement, bond, mortgage, indenture, license,
        contract, commitment, arrangement, understanding, agreement or other instrument or
        obligation of any kind to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party or by which Parent or
        Merger Sub or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound, or
        (B) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, order, statute, rule or
        regulation applicable to Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective properties or
        assets.

    	Further Assurances. From time to time, at the other party’s request and without
      further consideration, each party hereto shall execute and deliver such additional
      documents and take all such further lawful action as may be necessary or desirable to
      consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

    	Stop Transfer. The Shareholder shall not request that the Company register the
      transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest
      representing any of the Securities, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this
      Agreement. In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Common
      Stock by reason of any stock dividend, split, recapitalization, combination, exchange of
      shares or the like, the term "Securities" shall refer to and include the
      Securities as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any shares into which
      or for which any and all of the Securities may be changed or exchanged.

    	Shareholder Capacity. By entering into this Agreement, the Shareholder shall not be
      deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in his capacity as an
      officer or director of the Company. The Shareholder is entering into this Agreement solely
      in his individual capacity as the record owner and Beneficial Owner of the Securities.
      Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Shareholder in
      his capacity as an officer or director of the Company, including without limitation, any
      actions taken in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3 of the Merger Agreement,
      Section 9.1(c)(iii) of the Merger Agreement, or any other provisions of the Merger
      Agreement.

    	Indemnification. Parent shall indemnify and
      hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Shareholder against any losses,
      claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) ("Losses")
      arising out of any claim, action, suit or proceeding (a "Claim") (other
      than any Claim arising out of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by the
      Shareholder made in this Agreement) against the Shareholder that is made against the
      Shareholder as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if and only to
      the extent that (a) the Shareholder is not indemnified and fully reimbursed by the Company
      for all Losses arising out of such Claim or (b) the Shareholder is not fully reimbursed by
      the insurance carrier under the Company’s directors’ and officers’
      liability insurance policy for all Losses arising out of such Claim, and in the event of
      any such Claim, the Shareholder may retain counsel satisfactory to the Shareholder after
      consultation with Parent; provided, however, that (i) Parent shall have the
      right to assume the defense thereof and upon such assumption Parent shall not be liable to
      the Shareholder for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Shareholder in
      connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent elects not to assume such
      defense or counsel for the Shareholder reasonably advises that there are issues that raise
      conflicts of interest between Parent and the Shareholder, the Shareholder may retain
      counsel satisfactory to the Shareholder after consultation with Parent, and Parent shall
      pay the fees and expenses of such counsel for the Shareholder, (ii) Parent shall in all
      cases be obligated pursuant to this Section 9 to pay for only one firm or
      counsel for the Shareholder, and (iii) Parent shall not be liable for any settlement
      effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Shareholder desires to claim indemnification
      under this Section 9, upon learning of any such Claim, the Shareholder shall
      promptly notify Parent thereof, provided that the failure to so notify shall not
      affect the obligations of Parent under this Section 9 except to the extent
      such failure to notify materially prejudices Parent.  Parent’s obligations under
      this Section 9 shall not expire until 90 days following the termination of all
      statutes of limitations that may be construed to be applicable to the Shareholder in his
      capacity as a shareholder of the Company; provided, however, that all rights
      to indemnification in respect of any Claim asserted or made within such period shall
      continue until the final disposition of such claim. Parent shall advance all fees, costs
      and other expenses ("Expenses") incurred by Shareholder in connection
      with any Losses arising out of any Claim (other than any Claim arising out of a breach of
      a representation, warranty or covenant by the Shareholder made in this Agreement) against
      the Shareholder that is made against the Shareholder as a result of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement if and only to the extent that (a) the Shareholder is not
      advanced such Expenses in full by the Company or (b) the Shareholder is not advanced such
      Expenses in full by the insurance carrier under the Company’s directors’ and
      officers’ liability insurance policy. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid
      by the Parent to Shareholder as soon as practicable but in any event no later than ten
      Business Days after written demand by Shareholder therefor to the Parent. Such written
      demand shall include documentation describing the fees, costs and expenses incurred by
      Shareholder. The Shareholder agrees and acknowledges that the Shareholder will demand from
      the Company and the insurance carrier under the Company’s directors’ and
      officers’ liability insurance policy (A) indemnification and/or reimbursement for
      Losses arising out of any Claim hereunder and (B) advancement of Expenses incurred by the
      Shareholder in connection with any Losses arising out of any Claim hereunder prior to
      submitting such demands for indemnification, reimbursement and/or advancement to Parent
      pursuant to this Section 9.

    	Termination. The covenants, agreements and proxy contained herein with respect to
      the Securities shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the date
      the Securities Option expires under Section 2 with respect to a termination of
      the Merger Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.1 (b)(i), 9.1(b)(iii), 9.1(c)(iii) or 9.1(d)
      thereof, (c) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.1(a),
      9.1(b)(ii), 9.1(c)(i) or 9.1(c)(ii) thereof or (d) the date upon which the Merger
      Agreement is amended without the consent of the Shareholder in a manner that is adverse to
      the shareholders of the Company (other than insignificant changes or amendments or other
      than to waive any condition other than the Minimum Condition). Sections 9, 10 and 11
      shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

    	Miscellaneous.

      	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire
        agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all
        other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with
        respect to the subject matter hereof.

      	Binding Agreement. This Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the
        Securities and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal or Beneficial
        Ownership of the Securities shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise,
        including, without limitation, the Shareholder’s administrators or successors.
        Notwithstanding any transfer of Securities, the transferor shall remain liable for the
        performance of all obligations of the transferor under this Agreement.

      	Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise
        without the prior written consent of the Shareholder or Parent and Merger Sub, as the case
        may be, provided that Parent or Merger Sub may assign, in sole discretion, rights and
        obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, but no

      	Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this
        Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
        law but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be
        invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any

        reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or
        unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

      	Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto recognizes and acknowledges that a
        breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement will cause the

        entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements and

        entitled, at law or in equity.

        or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not
        alternative, and the exercise of any such right, power or remedy by any party shall not
        preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by
        such party.

      	No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy
        provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in
        equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations
        hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof,
        shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other
        right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.

      	No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to be for the benefit
        of, and shall not be enforceable by, any person or entity who or which is not a party
        hereto.

      	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in

        relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby must be brought in the
        courts of the State of Colorado, City and County of Denver, or, if it has or can acquire
        jurisdiction, in the federal courts located in the State of Colorado, City and County of
        Denver. Each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such
        court in any such proceeding and waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to
        venue or to convenience of forum. The parties agree that any or all of them may file a
        copy of this Section 11(k) with any court as written evidence of the knowing,
        voluntary and bargained agreement between the parties irrevocably to waive any objections
        to venue or to convenience of forum. Process in any proceeding referred to in this Section
        may be served on any party anywhere in the world.

        misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the
        successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, from the other party,
        reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that suit or proceeding, in
        addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

      	Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for
        convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning
        or interpretation of this Agreement.

16, 2004, which represents the accrued and unpaid interest of the Underlying
Securities on the Closing Date. The amounts to be paid to Wachovia set forth
in clause (ii) above, shall be paid from the Fixed Payment to be received by
the Trustee on February 16, 2004. In the event that such Fixed Payment is not
received by the Trustee on such date or is otherwise insufficient to pay such
amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Wachovia, Wachovia shall have a claim
for the unpaid portion of such amount and shall share pari passu with
Certificateholders to the extent of such claim in the proceeds from the sale
or recovery of the Underlying Securities.

          (c) The Trustee hereby (i) acknowledges such sale, deposit and
delivery, pursuant to subsection (b) above, and receipt by it of the
Underlying Securities, (ii) accepts the trusts created hereunder in accordance
with the provisions hereof and of the Base Trust

                                      5
<PAGE>

Agreement but subject to the Trustee's obligation, as and when the
same may arise, to make any payment or other distribution of the assets of the
Trust as may be required pursuant to this Series Supplement, the Base Trust
Agreement and the Certificates, and (iii) agrees to perform the duties herein
or therein required and any failure to receive reimbursement of expenses and
disbursements under Section 11 hereof shall not release the Trustee from its
duties herein or therein.

          Section 3. Designation. There is hereby created a Series of trust
certificates to be issued pursuant to the Base Trust Agreement and this Series
Supplement to be known as the "STRATS(SM) Certificates, Series 2004-1." The
Certificates shall be issued in two Classes, the Class A-1 Certificates and
the Class A-2 Certificates, having the terms provided for in this Series
Supplement. Each Class of Certificates shall be issued in the respective
amounts set forth in Section 5 and with the additional terms set forth in
Exhibit B to this Series Supplement. The Certificates shall be issued in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C to this Series Supplement with
such necessary or appropriate changes as shall be approved by the Trustor and
the Trustee, such approval to be manifested by the execution and
authentication thereof by the Trustee. The Certificates shall evidence
undivided ownership interests in the assets of the Trust, subject to the
liabilities of the Trust and shall be payable solely from payments or property
received by the Trustee on or in respect of the Underlying Securities.

          Section 4. Date of the Certificates. The Certificates that are
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon Trustor Order on the
Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date. All other Certificates that are
authenticated after the Closing Date for any other purpose under the Agreement
shall be dated the date of their authentication.

          Section 5. Certificate Stated Amount and Denominations; Additional
Underlying Securities. On the Closing Date, up to 1,200,000 Class A-1
Certificates with an aggregate Stated Amount of $30,000,000 and up to 60 Class
A-2 Certificates with an aggregate Notional Amount of $30,000,000 may be
authenticated and delivered under the Base Trust Agreement and this Series
Supplement. Each of the Stated Amount of the Class A-1 Certificates and the
Notional Amount of the Class A-2 Certificates shall equal 100% of the initial
principal amount of Underlying Securities sold to the Trustee and deposited in
the Trust. Such Stated Amount and such Notional Amount shall be calculated
without regard to Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration
of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant
to Sections 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 of the Base Trust Agreement. The Trustor may sell
to the Trustee additional Underlying Securities on any date hereafter upon at
least ten (10) Business Days notice to the Trustee and upon (i) satisfaction
of the Rating Agency Condition and (ii) delivery of an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the sale of such additional Underlying Securities will not
materially increase the likelihood that the Trust would fail to qualify as a
grantor trust under the Code. Upon such sale to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
deposit such additional Underlying Securities in the Certificate Account, and
shall authenticate and deliver to the Trustor, or its order, additional Class
A-1 Certificates in a Stated Amount and additional Class A-2 Certificates in a
Notional Amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of such additional
Underlying Securities. Any such additional Certificates authenticated and
delivered shall have the same terms and shall rank pari passu with the
corresponding Classes of Certificates previously issued in accordance with
this Series Supplement.

                                      6
<PAGE>

          Section 6. Currency of the Certificates. All distributions on the
Certificates will be made in the Specified Currency.

          Section 7. Form of Securities. The Trustee shall execute and deliver
the Certificates in the form of one or more global certificates registered in
the name of the Depositary or its nominee.

          Section 8. Call Warrants. (a) Concurrently with the execution of
this Series Supplement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute the
Warrant Agent Agreement and a single certificate, dated as of the date hereof
and substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, initially evidencing all of
the Call Warrants. The Trustee shall perform the Trust's obligations under the
Warrant Agent Agreement and the Call Warrants in accordance with their
respective terms.

          (b) The Trustee may not enter into any amendment or modification of
the Call Warrant except as provided in Section VI.4 of the Call Warrant.

          (c) The Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders and the Rating
Agencies upon receipt of any notice, pursuant to the provision of the Call
Warrants, of a Warrantholder's intent to exercise its Call Warrants. Such
notice from the Trustee shall state (i) the Warrant Exercise Date, (ii) that
such exercise of the Call Warrant is conditional upon receipt by the Trustee
of the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price with respect to such exercise and (iii)
that the Trustee will select by lot for redemption a Stated Amount of Class
A-1 Certificates and a Notional Amount of Class A-2 Certificates equal to 100%
of the principal amount of Underlying Securities to be purchased and that such
redemption of the Certificates will occur on the Warrant Exercise Date at a
price equal (i) with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates, to 100% of the
Stated Amount of the Class A-1 Certificates to be redeemded ($25 per Class A-1
Certificate) plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and
(ii) with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates, to accrued and unpaid
interest on the Notional Amount of the Class A-2 Certificates to be redeemded
to the date of redemption, plus the Make Whole Amount. A holder of a Call
Warrant may rescind its notice given pursuant to the terms of the Call Warrant
and any rescission of such notice or failure to pay the Warrant Exercise
Purchase Price pursuant to a rescinded notice shall not adversely affect the
right of a Warrantholder to deliver a notice thereafter. The Trustee shall
promptly notify Certificateholders of any rescission of such a notice and that
the redemption of Certificates in connection with such exercise is also
rescinded.

          (d) Upon the exercise of any Call Warrant in accordance with the
terms of the Call Warrants, the Trustee, after receipt of the Warrant Exercise
Purchase Price and the Call Warrants being exercised, shall deliver or cause
to be delivered upon the written direction of the Warrant Agent, by 1:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the related Warrant Exercise Date, the Underlying
Securities as specified in the exercised Call Warrant by instructing the
Depositary to credit such Underlying Securities to the account of the
exercising Warrantholder or its nominee, provided that the Trustee shall have
received notice of the exercise of such Call Warrant from the Warrant Agent in
accordance with the terms of the Call Warrants and shall have received from
the Warrant Agent an amount, in immediately available funds in a form
acceptable to the Trustee, equal to the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price for
such Underlying Securities by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related
Warrant Exercise Date.

                                      7
<PAGE>

          (e) Upon receipt of the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price pursuant to
this Section 8 and the Call Warrants being exercised, the Trustee shall
deposit the amount of the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price in the Certificate
Account on or before the related Warrant Exercise Date and pay to the
Certificateholders the amount described in Section 8(c)(iii) above. The
Certificates to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee or DTC by lot and
will be paid for on the Warrant Exercise Date.

          Section 9. Certain Provisions of Base Trust Agreement Not
Applicable. The provisions of Sections 5.11, 5.16, 6.2, Article VII, 8.1, 8.2
and 8.10 of the Base Trust Agreement and any other provision of the Base Trust
Agreement which imposes obligations on or creates rights in favor of the
Trustee or the Certificateholders as a result of or in connection with an
"Event of Default" or "Administrative Agent Termination Event" shall be
inapplicable with respect to the Certificates. In addition, there is no
"Administrative Agent" specified herein, and all references to "Administrative
Agent" in the Base Trust Agreement, therefore shall be inapplicable with
respect to the Certificates.

          Section 10. Distributions. (a) On each Scheduled Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders the Fixed Payment, to
the extent of Interest Collections, and shall allocate such amount parri passu
to the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates based on the
respective Interest Rates (as set forth in Exhibit B hereto) of each such
Class. On the Maturity Date, and to the extent received on any other Scheduled
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to the Class A-1
Certificateholders, the principal amount of the Underlying Securities to the
extent the principal of the Underlying Securities is received by the Trustee
on such date or during the related Collection Period plus any accrued interest
thereon. In the event any redemption or other premium is paid on the
Underlying Securities, such amount shall be distributed to the Class A-2
Certificateholders in an amount up to the then applicable Make Whole Amount.
No distributions of principal shall be made on the Class A-2 Cerificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment with respect to the Underlying
Securities is made to the Trustee after the Underlying Securities Payment Date
on which such payment was due, the Trustee shall distribute such amount
received on the Business Day following such receipt.

          (b) In the event of a Payment Default, the Trustee shall proceed
against the Underlying Securities Issuer on behalf of the Certificateholders
to enforce the Underlying Securities or otherwise to protect the interests of
the Certificateholders, subject to the receipt of indemnity in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee; provided that, holders of the
Certificates representing a majority of the Voting Rights on the Certificates
will be entitled to direct the Trustee in any such proceeding or direct the
Trustee to sell the Underlying Securities, subject to the Trustee's receipt of
satisfactory indemnity. If the Trustee is directed to sell the Underlying
Securities, the Trustee shall solicit bids for the sale of the Underlying
Securities with settlement thereof on or before the third (3rd) Business Day
after such sale from three leading dealers in the relevant market, which may
include but not limited but is not limited to any three of the following
dealers: (1) Wachovia Securities (2) Goldman, Sachs & Co., (3) Lehman Brothers
Inc., (4) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, (5) Citigroup
Global Markets Inc., (6) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and (7) Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc.; provided, however, that no bid from Wachovia Securities or
any affiliate thereof shall be accepted unless such bid equals the then fair
market value of such Underlying Securities. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for the failure to obtain a bid so long as it has made reasonable
efforts to obtain

                                      8
<PAGE>

bids. If a bid for the sale of the Underlying Securities has been
accepted by the Trustee but the sale has failed to settle on the proposed
settlement date, the Trustee shall request new bids from such leading dealers.
In the event of an Acceleration and a corresponding payment on the Underlying
Securities, the Trustee shall distribute the proceeds to the
Certificateholders no later than two (2) Business Days after the receipt of
immediately available funds.

          (c) In the event that the Trustee receives money or other property
in respect of the Underlying Securities (other than a scheduled payment on or
with respect to an interest payment date) as a result of a Payment Default on
the Underlying Securities (including from the sale thereof), the Trustee will
promptly give notice as provided in Section 18(c) to the Depositary, or for
any Certificates which are not then held by the Depositary or any other
depository, directly to the registered holders of the Certificates then
outstanding and unpaid. Such notice shall state that, not later than 30 days
after the receipt of such moneys or other property, the Trustee will allocate
and distribute such moneys or other property to the holders of Certificates
then outstanding and unpaid, pro rata between each Class of Certificates by
Allocation Ratio (after deducting the costs incurred in connection therewith
and subject to clause (b)(ii) of Section 2). Property other than cash will be
liquidated by the Trustee, and the proceeds thereof distributed in cash, only
to the extent necessary to avoid distribution of fractional securities to
Certificateholders. In-kind distribution of Underlying Securities to
Certificateholders will be deemed to reduce the Outstanding Amount of
Certificates on a proportionate basis. Following such in kind distribution,
all Certificates will be cancelled. No amounts will be distributed to the
Trustor in respect of the Underlying Securities.

          (d) Distributions to the Certificateholders on each Distribution
Date will be made to the Certificateholders of record on the Record Date.

          (e) All distributions to Certificateholders of a Class shall be
allocated pro rata among the Certificates of such Class based on their
respective Outstanding Amount as of the Record Date.

          (f) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary,
to the extent funds are available, the Trustee will initiate payment in
immediately available funds by 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on each
Distribution Date of all amounts payable to each Certificateholder with
respect to any Certificate held by such Certificateholder or its nominee
(without the necessity for any presentation or surrender thereof or any
notation of such payment thereon) in the manner and at the address as each
Certificateholder may from time to time direct the Trustee in writing 15 days
prior to such Distribution Date requesting that such payment will be so made
and designating the bank account to which such payments shall be so made. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the last instruction delivered by the
Certificateholder pursuant to this Section 10(f) unless a new instruction is
delivered 15 days prior to a Distribution Date.

          (g) (A) If (1) the Underlying Securities Issuer either (x) states in
writing that it intends permanently to cease filing periodic reports required
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or (y) fails to file all required
periodic reports for one full year and (2) the Trustor determines after
consultation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that under
applicable securities laws, rules or regulations the Trust must be liquidated
or the Underlying Securities distributed (an "SEC Reporting Failure"), then
the

                                      9
<PAGE>

Trustor shall promptly notify the Trustee, each Rating Agency and to the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Warrantholders of such SEC Reporting
Failure and the Trustee shall liquidate or distribute in kind, as directed by
the Trustor, any remaining Underlying Securities and the Trustee will allocate
and distribute such moneys or other property to the holders of Certificates
then outstanding and unpaid, pro rata between each Class of Certificates by
Allocation Ratio.

               (B) In addition, the Call Warrants will become immediately
          exercisable upon the occurrence of an SEC Reporting Failure and, if
          the Call Warrants are in the money, as defined below, they will be
          deemed to be exercised without further action by the Warrantholders
          and will be cash settled concurrently with the distribution to
          Certificateholders.

               (C) If an SEC Reporting Failure occurs, the Trustee shall
          solicit bids for the sale of the Underlying Securities with
          settlement thereof on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after
          such sale from three leading dealers in the relevant market and the
          Warrantholders, and may solicit additional bids from such other
          parties as the Trustor deems appropriate. For purposes of this
          Section 10(g), the Call Warrants will be deemed to be "in the money"
          if the highest firm bid received with respect to all Underlying
          Securities held by the Trust exceeds the Warrant Exercise Purchase
          Price for such Underlying Securities, and cash settlement shall be
          made in an amount equal to such excess (but only if the Underlying
          Securities are actually sold at a price equal to the amount of such
          bid). Any of the following dealers shall be deemed to qualify as
          leading dealers: (1) Wachovia Securities (2) Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
          (3) Lehman Brothers Inc., (4) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
          Incorporated, (5) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., (6) J.P. Morgan
          Securities Inc. and (7) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.; provided,
          however, that the Trustee may also solicit bids from other leading
          dealers; provided, further, that no bid from Wachovia Securities or
          any affiliate thereof shall be accepted unless such bid equals the
          then fair market value of such Underlying Securities. The Trustee
          shall not be responsible for the failure to obtain a bid so long as
          it has made reasonable efforts to obtain bids. If a bid for the sale
          of the Underlying Securities has been accepted by the Trustee but
          the sale has failed to settle on the proposed settlement date, the
          Trustee shall request new bids from such leading dealers.

               (D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an SEC
          Reporting Failure occurs and is continuing, Warrantholders will
          continue to have the right to exercise the Call Warrants in
          accordance with Section 8 so long as the Call Warrants are exercised
          prior to the liquidation or distribution of the Underlying
          Securities. Any payments to Certificateholders in connection with
          such exercise shall be made as set forth in Section 8.

          (h) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in
respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in
such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Series Supplement. The
Trustee shall in no way be responsible or liable to the Certificateholders nor
shall any Certificateholder in any way be responsible or liable to any other
Certificateholder in respect of amounts previously distributed on the
Certificates based on their respective Outstanding Amounts.

                                      10
<PAGE>

          Section 11. Termination of Trust. (a) The Trust shall terminate upon
the occurrence of any Trust Termination Event.

          (b) Except for any reports and other information required to be
provided to Certificateholders hereunder and under the Base Trust Agreement
and except as otherwise specified herein and therein, the obligations of the
Trustee will terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all
amounts required to be distributed to them and the disposition of all
Underlying Securities held by the Trustee. The Trust shall thereupon
terminate, except for surviving rights of indemnity.

          Section 12. Limitation of Powers and Duties. (a) The Trustee shall
administer the Trust and the Underlying Securities solely as specified herein
and in the Base Trust Agreement.

          (b) The Trust is constituted solely for the purpose of acquiring and
holding the Underlying Securities. The Trustee is not authorized to acquire
any other investments or engage in any activities not authorized herein and,
in particular, unless expressly provided in the Agreement, the Trustee is not
authorized (i) to sell, assign, transfer, exchange, pledge, set-off or
otherwise dispose of any of the Underlying Securities, once acquired, or
interests therein, including to Certificateholders, (ii) to merge or
consolidate the Trust with any other entity, or (iii) to do anything that
would materially increase the likelihood that the Trust will fail to qualify
as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. In addition,
the Trustee has no power to create, assume or incur indebtedness or other
liabilities in the name of the Trust other than as contemplated herein and in
the Base Trust Agreement.

          (c) The parties acknowledge that the Trustee, as the holder of the
Underlying Securities, has the right to vote and give consents and waivers in
respect of the Underlying Securities and enforce the other rights, if any, of
a holder of the Underlying Securities, except as otherwise limited by the Base
Trust Agreement or this Series Supplement. In the event that the Trustee
receives a request from the Underlying Securities Trustee, the Underlying
Securities Issuer or, if applicable, the Depositary with respect to the
Underlying Securities, for the Trustee's consent to any amendment,
modification or waiver of the Underlying Securities, or any document relating
thereto, or receives any other solicitation for any action with respect to the
Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall within two (2) Business Days mail a
notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation to
each Certificateholder of record as of the date of such request. The Trustee
shall request instructions from the Certificateholders as to what action to
take in response to such request and shall be protected in taking no action if
no direction is received. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee
shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the same
proportion (based on the Stated Amounts of the Class A-1 Certificates) as the
Class A-1 Certificates of the Trust were actually voted or not voted by the
Holders thereof as of the date determined by the Trustee prior to the date
such vote or consent is required; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Base Trust Agreement or this Series
Supplement, the Trustee shall at no time vote in favor of or consent to any
matter (i) which would alter the timing or amount of any payment on the
Underlying Securities (including, without limitation, any demand to accelerate
the Underlying Securities) or (ii) which would result in the exchange or
substitution of any Underlying Security whether or not pursuant to a plan for
the refunding or refinancing of such Underlying Security,

                                      11
<PAGE>

except in each case with the unanimous consent of the Certificateholders. The
Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act or to refrain from
acting resulting from the Certificateholders' late return of, or failure to
return, directions requested by the Trustee from the Certificateholders.

          (d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary,
the Trustee may require from the Certificateholders prior to taking any action
at the direction of the Certificateholders, an indemnity agreement of a
Certificateholder or any of its Affiliates to provide for security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities the Trustee may incur by
reason of any such action. An unsecured indemnity agreement, if acceptable to
the Trustee, shall be deemed to be sufficient to satisfy such security or
indemnity requirement.

          (e) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary,
the Trustee shall act as the sole Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent and
Registrar.

          Section 13. Compensation of Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled
to receive from the Trustor as compensation for its services hereunder,
trustee's fees pursuant to a separate agreement between the Trustee and the
Trustor, and shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by it (including the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of its counsel and other persons not regularly in
its employ). The Trustor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its
successors, assigns, agents and servants against any and all loss, liability
or reasonable expense (including attorney's fees) incurred by it in connection
with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
thereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Trustor promptly of any claim for
which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Trustor
shall not relieve the Trustor of its obligations hereunder. The Trustor need
not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense
incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith. The indemnities contained in this Section 11 shall
survive the resignation or termination of the Trustee or the termination of
this Agreement.

          Failure by the Trustor to pay, reimburse or indemnify the Trustee
shall not entitle the Trustee to any payment, reimbursement or indemnification
from the Trust, nor shall such failure release either the Trustee from the
duties it is required to perform under this Series Supplement. Any unpaid,
unreimbursed or unindemnified amounts shall not be borne by the Trust and
shall not constitute a claim against the Trust, but shall be borne by the
Trustee in its individual capacity, and the Trustee shall have no recourse
against the Trust with respect thereto.

          Section 14. Modification or Amendment. The Trustee shall not enter
into any modification or amendment of the Base Trust Agreement or this Series
Supplement unless such modification or amendment is in accordance with Section
10.1 of the Base Trust Agreement. If the Rating Agency Condition is not
satisfied with respect to any proposed modification or amendment of the Base
Trust Agreement or this Series Supplement, then any such modification or
amendment must be approved by 100% of the Certificateholders. Pursuant to
Section 5 of this Series Supplement, the Trustor may sell to the Trustee
additional Underlying Securities from time to time without violation or
trigger of this Section 14.

          Section 15. Accounting. Notwithstanding Section 3.16 of the Base
Trust Agreement, "Independent Public Accountants' Administration Report," no
such accounting

                                      12
<PAGE>

reports shall be required. Pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Base Trust
Agreement, "Reports to Certificateholders," the Trustee shall cause the
statement described in Section 4.2 to be prepared and forwarded as provided
therein.

          Section 16. No Investment of Amounts Received on Underlying
Securities. All amounts received on or with respect to the Underlying
Securities shall be held uninvested by the Trustee.

          Section 17. No Event of Default. There shall be no Events of Default
defined with respect to the Certificates.

          Section 18. Notices. (a) All directions, demands and notices
hereunder and under the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given when received if personally delivered or mailed by first
class mail, postage prepaid or by express delivery service or by certified
mail, return receipt requested or delivered in any other manner specified
herein, (i) in the case of the Trustor, to Synthetic Fixed-Income Securities,

facsimile number (212) 809-5459, or such other address as may hereafter be
furnished to the Trustor in writing by the Trustee.

          (b) For purposes of delivering notices to the Rating Agency under
Section 10.07 of the Base Trust Agreement, "Notice to Rating Agency," or
otherwise, such notices shall be mailed or delivered as provided in such
Section 10.07, "Notice to Rating Agency," to: Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041; and Moody's Investors
Service, Inc., Structured Derivative Products, 99 Church Street, New York, New
York 10007; or such other address as the Rating Agency may designate in
writing to the parties hereto.

          (c) In the event a Payment Default or an Acceleration occurs, the
Trustee shall promptly give notice to the Depositary or, for any Certificates
which are not then held by the Depositary or any other depository, directly to
the registered holders of the Certificates thereof. Such notice shall set
forth (i) the identity of the issue of Underlying Securities, (ii) the date
and nature of such Payment Default or Acceleration, (iii) the principal amount
of the interest or principal in default, (iv) the Certificates affected by the
Payment Default or Acceleration, and (v) any other information which the
Trustee may deem appropriate.

          (d) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Agreement to the contrary,
the Trustee shall deliver all notices or reports required to be delivered to
or by the Trustee or the Trustor to the Certificateholders without charge to
such Certificateholders.

          Section 19. Access to Certain Documentation. Access to documentation
regarding the Underlying Securities will be afforded without charge to any
Certificateholder so requesting pursuant to Section 3.17 of the Base Trust
Agreement, "Access to Certain Documentation." Additionally, the Trustee shall
provide at the request of any Certificateholder

                                      13
<PAGE>

without charge to such Certificateholder the name and address of each
Certificateholder of Certificates hereunder as recorded in the
Certificate Register for purposes of contacting the other Certificateholders
with respect to their rights hereunder or for the purposes of effecting
purchases or sales of the Certificates, subject to the transfer restrictions
set forth herein.

          Section 20. Advances. There is no Administrative Agent specified
herein; hence no person (including the Trustee) shall be permitted or
obligated to make Advances as described in Section 4.3 of the Base Trust
Agreement, "Advances."

          Section 21. Ratification of Agreement. With respect to the Series
issued hereby, the Base Trust Agreement (including the grant of a security
interest in Section 10.8 of the Base Trust Agreement with respect to the
Underlying Securities conveyed hereunder), as supplemented by this Series
Supplement, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Base Trust
Agreement as so supplemented by this Series Supplement shall be read, taken
and construed as one and the same instrument. To the extent there is any
inconsistency between the terms of the Base Trust Agreement and this Series
Supplement, the terms of this Series Supplement shall govern.

          Section 22. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and
the same instrument.

          Section 23. Governing Law. This Series Supplement and each
Certificate issued hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely therein without reference to such State's principles of
conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another
jurisdiction would be required thereby, and the obligations, rights and
remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws. The State of New York is the securities intermediary's jurisdiction of
the Securities Intermediary for purposes of the UCC.

          Section 24. Certificate of Compliance. The Trustor shall deliver to
the Trustee on or prior to June 30 of each year prior to a Trust Termination
Event the Officer's Certificate as to compliance as required by Section 6.1(b)
of the Base Trust Agreement.

          Section 25. Certain Filing to be Made by the Trustee. In the event
that a Payment Default or a SEC Reporting Failure occurs and the Underlying
Securities are liquidated at a loss, the Trustee will disclose pursuant to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 the loss in accordance with the
procedures of such regulation, unless the Trustees obtain advice from counsel
that such disclosure in not necessary. In general, the Trustee will (x) attach
a completed Form 8886 to its tax return in the year the requisite loss occurs
and (y) file a completed form with the Office of Tax Shelter Analysis (OTSA)
at: Internal Revenue Service LM:PFTG:OTSA, Large and Midsize Business
Division, 1111 Constitution Avenue., NW., Washington DC 20224 (or such other
address subsequently required).

          Section 26. Establishment of Certificate Account. The Securities
Intermediary and the Trustee hereby represent and warrant that:

                                      14
<PAGE>

          (a) The Certificate Account for the Trust is a "securities account"
within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC and is held only in the name of
the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Securities Intermediary is acting in
the capacity of a "securities intermediary" within the meaning of Section
8-102(a)(14) of the UCC;

          (b) All Underlying Securities have been (i) delivered to the
Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Agreement and (ii) credited to the
Certificate Account; and

          (c) The Certificate Account is an account to which financial assets
are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall treat the
Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset
credited to the Certificate Account.

          Section 27. Statement of Intent. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that, for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and
franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon
gross or net income, the Trust shall be treated as a grantor trust, but
failing that, as a partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership
treated as a corporation) and, in any event, not taxable as a corporation. The
parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax
authorities, the Trustee shall file or cause to be filed annual or other
necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with such intended
characterization. In the event that the Trust is characterized by appropriate
tax authorities as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, each
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of its Certificate, agrees to report its
respective share of the items of income, deductions, and credits of the Trust
on its respective returns (making such elections as to individual items as may
be appropriate) in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.761-2(b)
(the "761 Election") and in a manner consistent with the exclusion of the
Trust from partnership tax accounting. The terms of the Agreement shall be
interpreted to further these intentions of the parties. As further
consideration for each Certificateholder's purchase of a Certificate, each
such Certificateholder is deemed to agree not to irrevocably delegate to any
person (for a period of more than one year) authority to purchase, sell or
exchange its Certificates.

          Each Certificateholder (and each beneficial owner of a Certificate)
by acceptance of its Certificate (or its beneficial interest therein) agrees,
unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, to file its own tax
returns and reports in a manner consistent with the characterization indicated
above.

          Section 28. Filing of Partnership Returns. In the event that the
Trust is characterized (by appropriate tax authorities) as a partnership for
United States federal income tax purposes, and the 761 Election is
ineffective, the Trustor agrees to reimburse the Trust for any expenses
associated with the filing of partnership returns (or returns related
thereto).

          Section 29. "Financial Assets" Election. The Securities Intermediary
hereby agrees that the Underlying Securities credited to the Certificate
Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" within the meaning of Section
8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

          Section 30. Trustee's Entitlement Orders. If at any time the
Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Trustee directing the
transfer or redemption of any Underlying Securities credited to the
Certificate Account, the Securities Intermediary shall

                                      15
<PAGE>

comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the
Trustor or any other Person. The Securities Intermediary shall take all
instructions (including without limitation all notifications and entitlement
orders) with respect to the Certificate Account solely from the Trustee.

          Section 31. Conflict with Other Agreements. The Securities
Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:

          (a) There are no other agreements entered into between the
Securities Intermediary and the Trustor with respect to the Certificate
Account. The Certificate Account and all property credited to the Certificate
Account is not subject to, and the Securities Intermediary hereby waives, any
lien, security interest, right of set off, or encumbrance in favor of the
Securities Intermediary or any Person claiming through the Securities
Intermediary (other than the Trustee);

          (b) It has not entered into, and until the termination of the
Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to
the Certificate Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant
to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders of any Person other
than the Trustee; and

          (c) It has not entered into, and until the termination of the
Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any Person purporting to
limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply
with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 30 hereof.

          Section 32. Additional Trustee and Securities Intermediary
Representations. The Trustee and the Securities Intermediary each hereby
represents and warrants as follows:

          (a) The Trustee and the Securities Intermediary each maintains its
books and records with respect to its securities accounts in the State of New
York;

          (b) The Trustee and the Securities Intermediary each has not granted
any lien on the Underlying Securities nor are the Underlying Securities
subject to any lien on properties of the Trustee or the Securities
Intermediary in its individual capacity; the Trustee and the Securities
Intermediary each has no actual knowledge and has not received actual notice
of any lien on the Underlying Securities (other than any liens of the Trustee
in favor of the beneficiaries of the Trust Agreement); other than the
interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the potential
interests of the Warrantholders, the books and records of the Trustee and the
Securities Intermediary each do not identify any Person as having an interest
in the Underlying Securities; and

          (c) The Trustee and the Securities Intermediary each makes no
representation as to (i) the validity, legality, sufficiency or enforceability
of any of the Underlying Securities or (ii) the collectability, insurability,
effectiveness or suitability of any of the Underlying Securities.

          Section 33. Additional Trustor Representations. The Trustor hereby
represents and warrants to the Trustee as follows:

                                      16
<PAGE>

          (a) Immediately prior to the sale of the Underlying Securities to
the Trustee, the Trustor owned and had good and marketable title to the
Underlying Securities free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any
Person;

          (b) The Trustor has received all consents and approvals required by
the terms of the Underlying Securities to the sale to the Trustee of its
interest and rights in the Underlying Securities as contemplated by the
Agreement; and

          (c) The Trustor 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), except such interests sold pursuant to the Agreement.
The Trustor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
statements against the Trustor that includes a description of the Underlying
Securities, other than any such filings pursuant to the Agreement. The Trustor
is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against Trustor.

          Section 34. Certification Requirements. The Trustee agrees to
obtain, at the Trustor's direction and expense, a report of an independent
public accountant sufficient for the Trustor on behalf of the Trust to satisfy
its obligations with respect to certification requirements under Rules 13a-14
and 15d-14 of the Exchange Act.

          Section 35. Transfer Restrictions for Class A-2 Certificates. The
Class A-2 Certificates may not be transferred except to a transferee whom the
transferor of the Class A-2 Certificates reasonably believes is (A) a
"Qualified Institutional Buyer" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities
Act) and (B) acquiring the Class A-2 Certificates for its own account or for
the account of an investor of the type described in clause (A) above as to
which the transferee exercises sole investment discretion. In addition, each
transferee shall be required to deliver to the Trustee an investment letter in
the form of Exhibit [III] hereto. The Class A-2 Certificates (or the Class A-2
Certificates issued upon the transfer of the Class A-2 Certificates) shall be
issued with a legend in substantially the following form:

         "These Class A-2 Certificates have not been registered under the
         Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be transferred, sold
         or otherwise disposed of except while a registration under such Act
         is in effect or pursuant to the exemption therefrom under such Act
         provided pursuant to Rule 144A thereunder. The Class A-2 Certificates
         represented hereby may be transferred only in compliance with the
         conditions specified in these Class A-2 Certificates including the
         delivery of an Investment Letter in the form attached hereto. Each
         prospective transferee of these Class A-2 Certificates shall be
         required to represent that it is (A) a "Qualified Institutional
         Buyer" (as defined in Rule 144A) and (B) acquiring the Class A-2
         Certificates for its own account or for the account of an investor of
         the type described in clause (A) above as to which the transferee
         exercises sole investment discretion."

"Exhibit" are, unless otherwise specified, to one of the Exhibits attached to

                                  Article I

                             Exercise of Warrants

     Section I.1 Manner of Exercise. (a) Each of these Call Warrants may be
exercised by the holder hereof (each, a "Warrantholder"), on any Warrant
Exercise Date. Each Call Warrant must be exercised in whole and not in part;
however on any Warrant Exercise Date the Warrantholder may exercise any one,
or all, or any intermediate whole number of the unexercised Call Warrants held
by it on such Warrant Exercise Date. The following conditions shall apply to
any exercise of these Call Warrants:

          (i) A written notice in the form of Exhibit I hereto (the "Call
     Notice") specifying the number of Call Warrants being exercised and the
     Warrant Exercise Date shall be delivered to the Warrant Agent and the
     Trustee at least 10 but not greater than 60 days before such Warrant
     Exercise Date.

          (ii) The Warrantholder shall surrender these Call Warrants to the
     Warrant Agent at its office specified in Section VI.3 hereof no later
     than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Warrant Exercise Date.

          (iii) The Warrantholder shall have made payment to the Warrant
     Agent, by wire transfer or other immediately available funds acceptable
     to the Warrant Agent, in the amount of the Warrant Exercise Purchase
     Price for the exercised Call Warrants, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York
     City time) on the Warrant Exercise Date and shall have delivered in
     connection with its payment, an executed subscription for the Underlying
     Securities in the form of Exhibit II hereto.

          (iv) The Warrantholder shall have satisfied all conditions to the
     exercise of Call Warrants set forth in Section 8 of the Series
     Supplement.

     Upon exercise of these Call Warrants, the Warrantholder shall be entitled
to delivery of the Called Underlying Securities. The "Called Underlying

$500,000 per exercised Call Warrant.

     (b) The Warrant Agent shall notify the Trustee immediately upon receipt
by the Warrant Agent of a notice by the holder of this Call Warrant and upon
receipt of payment of the applicable Warrant Exercise Purchase Price from such
holder pursuant to clause (a) of this Section I.1. The Warrant Agent shall
transfer each payment made by the holder hereof pursuant to clause (a) of this
Section I.1 to the Trustee in immediately available funds, for application
pursuant to the Trust Agreement no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the applicable Warrant Exercise Date (and, pending such transfer, shall
hold each such payment for the benefit of the holder hereof in a segregated
trust account).

     (c) A notice by the holder of a Call Warrant does not impose any
obligations on a holder of a Call Warrant in any way to pay any Warrant
Exercise Purchase Price. If, by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Warrant
Exercise Date, the holder of the Call Warrant being exercised has not paid the
Warrant Exercise Purchase Price, then such notice shall automatically expire
and none of the holders of such Call Warrant, the Warrant Agent and the
Trustee shall have any obligations with respect to such notice by the holder
of such Call Warrant. The expiration of a notice by the holder of this Call
Warrant shall in no way affect a holder of a Call Warrant's right to
subsequently deliver a notice which satisfies the terms of the Trust
Agreement.

     (d) The Call Warrants will become immediately exercisable upon an SEC
Reporting Failure and, if the Call Warrants are in the money, as defined in
the Trust Agreement, they will be deemed to be exercised without further
action by the Warrantholders and will be cash settled concurrently with the
distribution to Certificateholders, as provided in Section 10(g) of the Trust
Agreement.

     Section I.2 Transfer of Underlying Securities. As soon as practicable
after each surrender of these Call Warrants, and no later than 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the Warrant Exercise Date and upon satisfaction of all
other requirements described in this Call Warrant, the Warrant Agent shall
instruct the Trustee to cause the Called Underlying Securities represented by
the number of Warrants being exercised hereunder to be registered on the
book-entry system of the related depositary in the registered name or names
furnished by the holder, and, in case such exercise is of less than all of
these Call Warrants, new Call Warrants of like tenor, representing the
remaining unexercised and outstanding Call Warrants of the holder, shall be
delivered by the Warrant Agent to the holder hereof. The Trustee shall cause
the delivery of the Called Underlying Securities to the holder or its nominee
no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Warrant
Exercise Date in accordance with Section 8(e) of the Series Supplement.

     Section I.3 Cancellation and Destruction of Call Warrant. All Call
Warrants surrendered to the Warrant Agent for the purpose of exercise pursuant
to Section I.1 and actually exercised, or for the purpose of transfer or
exchange pursuant to Article III, shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent, and
no Call Warrant (other than that reflecting such transfer or exchange) shall
be issued in lieu thereof. The Warrant Agent shall destroy all cancelled Call
Warrants.

     Section I.4 No Rights as Holder of Underlying Securities Conferred by
Warrants. Prior to the exercise hereof, these Call Warrants shall not entitle
the holder hereof to any of the rights of a holder of the Underlying
Securities, including, without limitation, the right to receive

any transfer of any Call Warrant, the holder hereof will give five (5)
Business Days (or such lesser period acceptable to the Warrant Agent) prior
written notice to the Warrant Agent of such holder's intention to effect such

Agent will keep a register in which the Warrant Agent will provide for the

Warrants representing whole numbers of Warrants. The Trustee and the Warrant
Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Call Warrant is registered on
such register as the owner thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee and the
Warrant Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

new Call Warrant of like tenor bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

     Section V.1 Limitation on Liability. The Warrant Agent shall be protected

     Section V.2 Duties of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes only
the specific duties and obligations imposed hereunder upon the following terms
and conditions, by all of which the Trustor, the Trust, the Trustee and each
Warrantholder shall be bound:

     (a) The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal
counsel for the Trustor), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent as to any action
taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion,
provided the Warrant Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the
selection by it of such counsel.

     (b) Whenever in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Warrant
Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved
or established by the Trustor or the Trustee prior to taking or suffering any
action hereunder, such fact or matter may be deemed to be conclusively proved
and established by a Trustor Order or a certificate signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such
certificate shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action
taken or suffered in good faith by it hereunder in reliance upon such
certificate.

     (c) The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

     (d) The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the
statements of fact or recitals contained herein or be required to verify the
same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have
been made by the Trust and the Trustor only.

     (e) The Warrant Agent shall not have any responsibility in respect of and
makes no representation as to the validity of this Call Warrant or the
execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Warrant
Agent); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Trust of any
covenant or condition contained in this Call Warrant; nor shall it by any act
hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the
Underlying Securities to be purchased hereunder.

     (f) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept
instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the
Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Chief Operating Officer, President, a Vice President, its Treasurer, an
Assistant Treasurer, its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Trustor,
and any Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and to apply to such officers for
advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be
liable for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with instructions of any such officer.

     (g) The Warrant Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or employee
of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of these Call Warrants or
other securities of the Trust or otherwise act as fully and freely as though
it were not Warrant Agent hereunder, so long as such persons do so in full
compliance with all applicable laws. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant
Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Trust, the Trustor or for any
other legal entity.

                                     D-7
<PAGE>

     (h) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or
powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either by itself or
by or through its attorneys or agents.

     (i) The Warrant Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Trust
hereunder. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable except for the failure to
perform such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into these Call Warrants against the
Warrant Agent, whose duties shall be determined solely by the express
provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary.

     (j) The Warrant Agent shall not have any duty to calculate or determine
any adjustments with respect either to the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price or
to the kind and amount of property receivable by holders of Call Warrants upon
the exercise thereof.

     (k) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure on the
part of the Trustee to comply with any of its covenants and obligations
contained herein.

     (l) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation or duty to
institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or legal proceeding in respect
hereof, unless first indemnified to its satisfaction, but this provision shall
not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant
Agent may consider proper, whether with or without such indemnity. The Warrant
Agent shall promptly notify the Trustor and the Trustee in writing of any
claim made or action, suit or proceeding instituted against it arising out of
or in connection with these Call Warrants.

     (m) The Trustee will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause
to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts,
instruments and assurances as may be required by the Warrant Agent in order to
enable it to carry out or perform its duties hereunder.

     Section V.3 Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and be
discharged from its duties hereunder upon thirty (30) days' notice in writing
mailed to the Trustor and the Trustee by registered or certified mail, and to
the holders of the Call Warrants by first-class mail at the expense of the
Trustor; provided that no such resignation or discharge shall become effective
until a successor Warrant Agent shall have been appointed hereunder. The
Trustor may remove the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent upon
thirty (30) days' notice in writing, mailed to the Warrant Agent or successor
Warrant Agent, as the case may be, and to the holders of the Call Warrants by
first-class mail; provided further that no such removal shall become effective
until a successor Warrant Agent shall have been appointed hereunder. If the
Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable
of acting, the Trustor shall promptly appoint a successor to the Warrant
Agent, which may be designated as an interim Warrant Agent. If an interim
Warrant Agent is designated, the Trustor shall then appoint a permanent
successor to the Warrant Agent, which may be the interim Warrant Agent. If the
Trustor shall fail to make such appointment of a permanent successor within a
period of thirty (30) days after such removal or within sixty (60) days after
notification in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or
incapacitated Warrant Agent or by the holder of a Call Warrant, then the
Warrant Agent or registered holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such a successor. Any successor
to the Warrant

                                     D-8
<PAGE>

Agent (or any parent of such successor) appointed hereunder must have
long-term unsecured debt obligations that are rated in one of the four highest
rating categories by the Rating Agencies. Any entity which may be merged or
consolidated with or which shall otherwise succeed to substantially all of the
trust or agency business of the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to be the
successor Warrant Agent without any further action.

                                 Miscellaneous

     Section VI.1 Remedies. The remedies at law of the Warrantholder in the
event of any default or threatened default by the Warrant Agent in the
performance of or compliance with any of the terms of these Call Warrants are

terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of
any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any
of the terms hereof or otherwise.

     Section VI.2 Limitation on Liabilities of Holder. Nothing contained in
these Call Warrants shall be construed as imposing any obligation on the
holder hereof to purchase any of the Underlying Securities except in
accordance with the terms hereof.

     Section VI.3 Notices. All notices and other communications under these
Call Warrants shall be in writing and shall be delivered, or mailed by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, by a nationally

     Section VI.4 Amendment. (a) These Call Warrants may be amended from time
to time by the Trustor, the Trustee and the Warrant Agent without the consent
of the holder hereof, upon receipt of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
the Warrant Agent that the provisions hereof have been satisfied and that such
amendment would not alter the status of the Trust to be treated as a
corporation or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the
Code, for any of the following purposes: (i) to cure any ambiguity or to
correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision herein or to provide for any other terms
or modify any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under these Call Warrants which shall not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the holder hereof or any holder of a Certificate or
(ii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder of a

may also be modified or amended from time to time by the Trustor, the Trustee
and the Warrant Agent with the consent of the holders of 66-2/3% of the

<PAGE>

without limitation, the following proviso) have been satisfied, for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of the Call Warrants or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the holders of the Call Warrants; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (i) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
holders of Certificates without the consent of the holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than the Required Percentage-Amendment of the aggregate
Voting Rights of such affected Certificates (as such terms are defined in the
Trust Agreement) and without written confirmation from the Rating Agencies
that such amendment will not result in a downgrading or withdrawal of its
rating of the Certificates; (ii) alter the dates on which Call Warrants are
exercisable or the amounts payable upon exercise of a Call Warrant without the
consent of the holders of Certificates evidencing 100% of the aggregate Voting
Rights of such affected Certificates and the holders of 100% of the affected
Call Warrants or (iii) reduce the percentage of aggregate Voting Rights
required by (i) or (ii) without the consent of the holders of all such
affected Certificates. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Call
Warrants, this Section VI.4(b) shall not be amended without the consent of the
holders of 100% of the affected Call Warrants.

     (c) The Warrant Agent shall notify the Rating Agencies of any such
proposed amendment or modification prior to the execution thereof and promptly
after the execution of any such amendment or modification, the Warrant Agent
shall furnish a copy of such amendment or modification to each holder of a
Call Warrant, to each holder of a Certificate and to the Rating Agencies. It
shall not be necessary for the consent of holders of Call Warrants or
Certificates under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

     Section VI.5 Expiration. The right to exercise these Call Warrants shall
expire on the earliest to occur of (a) the cancellation hereof, (b) the
termination of the Trust Agreement or (c) the liquidation, disposition or
payment in full (whether by maturity, redemption or otherwise) of all of the
Underlying Securities.

     Section VI.6 Descriptive Headings. The headings in these Call Warrants
are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the

AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF

proceeding brought against the Trust, the Trustee or the Warrant Agent with
respect to these Call Warrants may be brought in any court of competent
jurisdiction in the County of New York, State of New York or of the United
States of America for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and
delivery of these Call Warrants, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the
Warrant Agent (a) accepts, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of such courts and any related appellate court, and irrevocably

to any rights of appeal, and (b) irrevocably waives any objection that the
Trust, the Trustee or the Warrant Agent may now or hereafter have as to the
venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court or that
such court is an inconvenient forum.

Warrantholder, by its acceptance hereof, and (ii) the Warrant Agent, agrees
that it shall not (and, in the case of the holder, that it shall not direct
the Warrant Agent to), until the date which is one year and one day after the
payment in full of the Certificates and all other securities issued by the
Trust, the Trustor or entities formed, established or settled by the Trustor,
acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trust, the Trustor or any

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In connection with our proposed purchase of [insert number] of the Call
Warrants dated _______________, issued with respect to $_______________
principal amount of _______________ ___% Debentures due _______________, CUSIP
_______________, (the "Call Warrants"), the investor on whose behalf the
undersigned is executing this letter (the "Purchaser") confirms that:

     (1) The Purchaser has received a copy of such information as the
Purchaser deems necessary in order to make its investment decision and the
Purchaser has been provided the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers from, the Trustor, concerning the terms and conditions of the Call
Warrants. The Purchaser has received and understands the above, and
understands that substantial risks are involved in an investment in the Call
Warrants. The Purchaser represents that in making its investment decision to
acquire the Call Warrants, the Purchaser has not relied on representations,
warranties, opinions, projections, financial or other information or analysis,
if any, supplied to it by any person, including you, the Trustor or the
Trustee referred to above or any of their affiliates. The Purchaser has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Call Warrants, and the
Purchaser is able to bear the substantial economic risks of such an
investment. The Purchaser has relied upon its own tax, legal and financial
advisors in connection with its decision to purchase the Call Warrants.

     (2) The Purchaser is (A) a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" (as defined in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act")) and
(B) acquiring the Call Warrants for its own account or for the account of an
investor of the type described in clause (A) above as to which the Purchaser
exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser is purchasing the Call
Warrants for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for, the offer or
sale in connection with, a public distribution or in any other manner that
would violate the 1933 Act or the securities or blue sky laws of any state.

     (3) The Purchaser understands that the Call Warrants have not been and
will not be registered under the 1933 Act or under the securities or blue sky
laws of any state, and that if it

                                 Exhibit III-1
<PAGE>

decides to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Call Warrants, such Call
Warrants may be resold, pledged or transferred without registration only to an
entity that has delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee a certification in
the form of this letter. The Purchaser understands that (i) any transference
of the Call Warrants must be an entity that the Purchaser reasonably believes
to be a Qualified Institutional Buyer that purchases (1) for its own account
or (2) for the account of such a Qualified Institutional Buyer, that is, in
either case, aware that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in
reliance on said Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and (ii) it will, and each
subsequent holder will be required to, notify any purchaser of the Call
Warrants from it of the resale restrictions referred to herein.

     (4) The Purchaser understands that the Call Warrants will bear a legend
to the following effect, unless otherwise agreed by the Trustor and the
Trustee:

     "THESE CALL WARRANTS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS IN EFFECT OR PURSUANT TO THE
EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT PROVIDED PURSUANT TO RULE 144A THEREUNDER.
THE CALL WARRANTS REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THESE CALL WARRANTS INCLUDING THE DELIVERY OF
AN INVESTMENT LETTER IN THE FORM ATTACHED HERETO. EACH PROSPECTIVE TRANSFEREE
OF THESE CALL WARRANTS SHALL BE REQUIRED TO REPRESENT THAT IT IS (A) A
"QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A) AND (B) ACQUIRING
THE CALL WARRANT FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF AN INVESTOR OF THE
TYPE DESCRIBED IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE AS TO WHICH THE TRANSFEREE EXERCISES SOLE
INVESTMENT DISCRETION."

     (5) The Purchaser agrees that if at some time in the future it wishes to
transfer or exchange the Call Warrants, it will not transfer or exchange the
Call Warrants unless such transfer or exchange is in accordance with Section
3.2 of the Warrant Agent Agreement. The Purchaser understands that any
purported transfer of the Call Warrants in contravention of any of the
restrictions and conditions in the Warrant Agent Agreement, shall be void, and
the purported transferee in such transfer shall not be recognized by the Trust
or any other Person as a Warrant Holder.

     (6) The Purchaser understands that the Call Warrants may be transferred
in minimum amounts equal to one Call Warrant and in whole multiples in excess
thereof and that fractional transfers of Call Warrants are not permitted.
