covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

         1 EMPLOYMENT, POSITION AND DUTIES Upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive
hereby accepts employment with the Company in the capacity of the "Position" and
for the term of the "Employment Period" as defined on the annexed Schedule of
Terms of Employment which is fully incorporated into the text hereof by this
reference. During the Employment Period, Executive shall perform the normal
duties, responsibilities and authority of such Position which shall expressly
include those duties and responsibilities set forth on the annexed Schedule of
Terms of Employment ("Duties and Responsibilities") subject to the power of the
Company's board of directors (the "Board") to expand or limit such duties,
responsibilities and authority and to override actions of officers of the
Company. During the Employment Period, Executive shall report to the Board, or
the Chief Executive Officer, at the Board's election, and shall devote his best
efforts and his full business time and attention to the business and affairs of
the Company, excluding the permitted vacation time and time-off for sickness and
other absences as set forth on the annexed Schedule of Terms of Employment.
Executive shall perform his Duties and Responsibilities to the Company hereunder
to the best of his abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and
efficient manner. Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit Executive from making
passive investments that are not otherwise prohibited in this Agreement, or as
otherwise provided for in the Schedule of Terms of Employment recited below.

         2        COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

         (a) BASE SALARY. During the Employment Period, Executive's initial base
salary shall be the Initial Base Salary set forth in the Schedule of Terms of
Employment per annum or such higher rate as the Board may designate from time to
time (as so adjusted, the "Base Salary"), which Base Salary shall be payable in
regular installments in accordance with the Company's general payroll practices.
Failure of Company to promptly pay Executive the regular installments or bonuses
in accordance with the Company's general payroll practices shall be considered a
Termination of Executive without Cause. In addition, during the Employment
Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all of the Company's
Executive benefit programs for which similar Executives of the Company are
generally eligible, or as otherwise provided for in the Schedule of Terms of
Employment recited below.

         (b) EXPENSES. During the Employment Period, the Company shall reimburse
Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in the course of
performing his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement which are
consistent with the Company's policies in effect from time to time with respect
to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Company's
requirements with respect to approval, reporting and documentation of such
expenses.

         (c) BONUS. The Board shall develop and adopt a bonus plan which the
Board believes to be customary for businesses in the Company's industry for an
Executive in the position of the Executive (the "Bonus Plan"). In addition to
the Base Salary, the Board shall award a bonus to Executive in accordance with
the Bonus Plan following the end of each fiscal year during the Employment
Period based upon Executive's performance and the Company's operating results
during such year, or as otherwise provided for in the Schedule of Terms of
Employment.

         (d) All amounts payable to Executive as compensation hereunder shall be
subject to customary withholding by the Company.

         3 EMPLOYMENT PERIOD. The term of the employment hereunder shall begin
on the "Begin Date" and shall end on the "End Date" as set forth on the annexed
Schedule of Terms of Employment (the "Employment Period") provided that, the
Employment Period shall terminate prior to its expiration upon the following;
(i) the Employment Period shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of
the Executive's resignation, death or permanent mental or physical disability or
incapacity (as determined by the Board in its good faith judgment); (ii) the
Employment Period may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to such
date for Cause (as defined below) or without Cause for any reason or no reason
whatsoever. No later than 150 days prior to the expiration of each Employment
Period, shall automatically be extended for successive one-year terms following
the expiration of the initial Employment Period, and on each anniversary
thereafter, unless terminated sooner pursuant to the provisions hereof, or
unless the Company gives written notice to the Executive within 150 days prior
to the expiration of the Employment Period including any renewal periods
thereafter stating its election not to extend the Employment Period for any
additional term thereafter. Except as otherwise provided herein, any termination
of the Employment Period by the Company shall be effective as specified in a
written notice from the Company to Executive. Executive shall notify the Company
at least 60 days prior to the effective date of Executive's resignation. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of Executive's rights to salary,
bonuses, fringe benefits and other compensation hereunder which accrue or become
payable after the termination or expiration of the Employment Period shall cease
upon such termination or expiration, other than those expressly required under
COBRA. The Company may offset any amounts Executive owes it (assuming the
Executive has outstanding borrowed cash funds from Company) against any amounts
it owes Executive hereunder.

         For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (i) the commission
of any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, or the commission of any
act or omission involving dishonesty or fraud with respect to the Company or any
of its affiliates or any of its or their customers or suppliers, (ii) reporting
to work under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs or drug or alcohol abuse
(whether or not at the workplace), (iii) conduct causing the Company or any of
its affiliates substantial public disgrace or disrepute or economic harm, (iv)
substantial and repeated failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by the
Board, (v) gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company or
any of its affiliates or (vi) any material breach of this Agreement or any other
agreement between the Company and Executive (which, in the case of clause (iv),
(v) or (vi) above, is not cured to the Board's reasonable satisfaction within 10
days after written notice thereof from the Board to Executive if the Board
determines in its reasonable discretion that any such matter is subject to
cure).

         Upon expiration of the Employment provided or any subsequent renewal
without further extension or if the Employment Period is terminated by the
Company for Cause, Executive shall only be entitled to receive his Base Salary
through the date of termination or expiration and shall not be entitled to any
other salary, compensation or benefits thereafter, and the Company expressly
reserves and retains all other rights and remedies. If the Employment Period is
terminated by the Company due to death, disability or without Cause, Executive
shall be entitled to continue to receive his Base Salary payable in regular
installments for the period set forth on Schedule of Employment Terms, (the
"Severance Period") if and only if the Executive has executed (except in the
case of Executive's death) and delivered to the Company a general release of all
claims against the Company and its stockholders, directors and Executives in
form and substance satisfactory to the Company and only so long as Executive has
not breached and during the Severance period does not breach the provisions of
paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 hereof, which shall extend beyond the Employment Period
and shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

         4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Executive acknowledges that the
information, observations and data (including trade secrets) business practices,
methods, sources, contacts and the identities and telephone numbers of
customers, suppliers, vendors, agents and other contacts obtained by him while
employed by the Company (including those obtained while employed by the Company
prior to the date of this Agreement) concerning the business or affairs of the
Company or any of its affiliates ("Confidential Information") are the property
of the Company or such affiliate. Therefore, Executive agrees that he shall not
disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own purposes any Confidential
Information without the prior consent of the Board or the Chief Executive
Officer, unless and to the extent that the Confidential Information becomes
generally known to and available for use by the public in the same form or
compilation, other than as a result of Executive's acts or omissions, phone
books, logs, Rolodexes, calendars. Executive shall deliver to the Company at the
termination or expiration of the Employment Period, or at any other time the
Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer
tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data in whatever form (and
all copies and reproductions thereof) embodying or relating to the Confidential
Information, Work Product (as defined below) or the business of the Company or
its affiliates which he may then possess, have access to or have under his
control.

         5. INVENTIONS AND PATENTS. Executive acknowledges that all inventions,
innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analysis, drawings,
reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patent able)
which relate to the Company's or its affiliates' actual or anticipated business,
research and development or existing or future products or services and which
are conceived, developed or made by Executive while employed by the Company
(including those obtained while employed by the Company prior to the date of
this Agreement) ("Work Product") belong to the Company are works for hire and
any proprietary rights which the Executive might have under the law or otherwise
are hereby expressly assigned to the Company. Executive shall promptly disclose
such Work Product to the Board and, at the Company's expense, perform all
actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the
Employment Period) to assign, establish and confirm such ownership (including,
without limitation, executing any assignments, consents, powers of attorney and
other instruments).

         6. ENFORCEMENT. If, at the time of enforcement of any provision hereof
by the Company, a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold that the
restrictions stated therein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing,
the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such
circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and
that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions
contained therein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law.
Because Executive's services are unique and because Executive has access to
Confidential Information and Work Product, the parties hereto agree that money
damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement.
Therefore, in the event of the breach or a threatened breach by Executive of
this Agreement, the Company, in addition and supplementary to other rights and
remedies existing in its favor, shall be entitled to specific performance and/or
injunctive or other equitable relief from any court in order to enforce or
prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other
security). In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by
Executive, the Non-compete Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation
has been duly cured. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained
herein are reasonable and that he has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement
with his legal counsel.

         7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Executive hereby represents and
warrants to the Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by Executive do not and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or
cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or
decree to which Executive is a party or by which he is bound, (ii) Executive is
not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, non-compete agreement or
confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity and (iii) upon the

execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive, this Agreement shall be
the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with its terms. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that
he has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his rights and
obligations under this Agreement and that he fully understands the terms and
conditions contained herein.

         8. SURVIVAL. 4 through 19 shall survive and continue in full force in
accordance with their terms notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the
Employment Period.

          the working location to be at the National Office in Boca Raton,
          Florida. If the duties and responsibilities are changed by the
          Company, or the work location is not at the National Office located in
          Broward or Palm Beach County, this would constitute a termination
          without cause by the Company.

Vacation & Sickness Time:

          Total paid time off days (PTO-days)shall not exceed 6 weeks per year
          (which equates to 30 PTO-days). Executive may freely exchange vacation
          and sick leave time as they deem appropriate; Unused PTO days may be
          saved for future years, for extended sick leave, extended vacation, or
          personal time off.

Initial Base Salary:

          $180,000.00 (annual, paid in 24 equal installments), where said base
          salary shall increase annually at (the greater of) the National CPI
          index or $10,000 annually; Said salary shall commence on June 1st
          ,2001.

Initial Stock Purchases:

          For the initial period from April 3rd, 2001 through June 1st, , 2001,
          Executive will have the option of purchasing 150,000 shares of the
          Company's Common stock at a price of $0.01 per share. Said purchase at
          the option of the Executive shall be consummated within 180 days from

          the Company to the Executive by the full execution of this agreement,
          where the Executive is granted common stock options of the Company in
          an amount equating to 3.3% of the total issued and outstanding shares
          of all classes of stock and options on a fully diluted basis, with an
          option exercise price equating to $0.01 per share where said stock
          options shall be fully transferrable, have an exercise period of 10
          years from granting, shall be non-dilutive (meaning that as any
          additional stock, options, or warrants are sold by the Company, or
          issued from its treasury, or the total shares of all classes of stock
          of the Company increase due to any merger or acquisition activity),
          then Executive's total number of options shall increase so that the
          resultant total options held by Executive shall remain constant at
          3.3% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company
          including all stock, options, warrants, including all classes of
          common and preferred stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis.
          The full execution of this agreement shall constitute a valid and
          binding Stock Option Incentive Plan between the Company and the
          Executive. If the Company terminates the Executive with or without
          cause at any time, then no options granted to Executive will be
          returned to the Company, however, the non-dilutive provision will be
          terminated, and no further options will be granted to Executive. If
          the Executive resigns at any time, then no options granted to
          Executive will be returned to the Company, however, the non-dilutive
          provision will be terminated, and no further options will be granted
          to Executive. All options recited above shall be granted to Executive
          at inception of employment, with the exception of those options that
          are granted to satisfy the non-dilutive provision. As of January 18,
          2001, pursuant to information provided in the Company's Private
          Placement Memorandum, page 29 thereof, the company has Issued or

          in amounts equating to 164,082,466 shares on a fully diluted basis;
          therefor as of that date Executive's options granting would equate to
          5,114,721 options issued on a non-dilutive basis.

Bonus Plan (incentives):

          Executive to be paid annually a minimum of 2.50% of the EBIDA pre-tax,
          net-income of the Company, paid annually on January 31st of each
          calendar year and if necessary, adjusted on March 31st of each year
          following the company's annual audit, if performed. The Board of
          Directors may increase or add to this Executive's Bonus Plan as it
          deems appropriate, in keeping with competitive market conditions and
          objectives of the Company.

Employment Period:

          The initial term of employment shall be for 3 years, with a beginning
          date of 1th day of April, 2001, with an ending date of 30th day of
          March, 2004, subject to successive automatic two-year renewal periods,
          unless not extended by the provisions of the Employment Agreement.

Change of Control.

          (a) For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall be
          deemed to have taken place if: (i) any person, including a "group" as
          defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as
          amended, becomes the owner or beneficial owner of Company securities,
          after the date of this Agreement, having 20% or more of the combined
          voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company that
          may be cast for the election of directors of the Company (other than
          as a result of an issuance of securities initiated by the Company, or
          open market purchases approved by the Board, as long as the majority
          of the Board approving the purchases is the majority at the time the
          purchases are made), or (ii) the persons who were directors of the
          Company before such transactions shall cease to constitute a majority
          of the Board of the Company, or any successor to the Company, as the
          direct or indirect result of, or in connection with, any cash tender
          or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of
          assets or contested election, or any combination of the forgoing
          transactions.

          (b) The Company and Executive hereby agree that, if Executive is in
          the employ of the Company on the date on which a Change of Control
          occurs (the "Change of Control Date") the Company (or, if Executive is
          employed by a subsidiary, the subsidiary) will continue to employ
          Executive and Executive will remain in the employ of the Company (or
          subsidiary), for the period commencing on the Change of Control Date
          and ending on the earlier to occur of (1) the second anniversary of
          such date, or (2) the expiration of the Employment Period, to exercise
          such authority and perform such Executive duties as are commensurate
          with the authority being exercised and duties be performed by the
          Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control Date. If the
          duties and responsibilities are changed by the Company, or the work
          location is not at the National Office located in Broward or Palm
          Beach County, as a result of a Change of Control of the Company, then
          the Executive at his election may consider this event a Termination
          without cause, and the Executive would be entitled to the amount as
          stipulated in paragraph (d) below, in lump sum within 5 days of the
          change of control. However, at each (or any) event of change of
          control, the Executive has the exclusive right to waive his rights to
          his voluntary termination, pursuant to the Change of Control, and
          where the Executive is required to change his place of employment, the
          Company will reimburse the Executive for his reasonable relocation
          expenses, including without limitation, moving expenses, temporary
          living and travel expenses for up to one year while arranging to move
          his residence to the changed locations, closing costs, real estate
          commissions, if any, associated with the sale of his existing
          residence and the purchase of a replacement residence at the changed
          location, plus an additional amount representing a gross-up of any
          state or federal taxes payable by Executive as a result of any such
          reimbursements, and pay Executive a moving bonus equating to 20% of
          the Executive's last 12 months total gross annual compensation as
          would be defined on Executive's W-2 form.

          (c) During the remaining Employment Period after the change of Control
          Date, the Company (or subsidiary) will (i) continue to pay Executive a
          salary at not less than the level applicable to Executive on the
          Change of Control Date, (ii) pay Executive bonuses and income tax
          incentive bonuses in the amounts not less in amount than those paid
          during the twelve month period preceding the Change of Control Date,
          and (iii) continue Executive benefit programs as to Executive at
          levels in effect on the Change of Control Date.

          (d) If during the remaining Employment Period after the Change of
          Control Date (i) Executive's employment is terminated by the Company
          (or subsidiary), or (ii) there shall have occurred any reduction in
          Executive's compensation or employment related benefits, or any change
          in Executive's status, working conditions or management
          responsibilities, and Executive voluntarily terminates employment
          within sixty (60) days of any such occurrence, or the last in a series
          of occurrences, then Executive shall be entitled to receive, subject
          to the provisions of subparagraphs (e) and (f) below, a lump sum
          payment equal to 200% of Executive's "base period income" as
          determined under (e) below. Such amount will be paid to Executive
          within 5 business days after his termination of employment.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

          (e)The Executive's "base period income" shall be his base salary,
          however such base salary shall not be less than that as defined in
          paragraph 3(a) above, and all annual incentive and income tax bonuses,
          paid or payable to him during or with respect to the twelve month
          period preceding the date of his termination of employment. If
          Executive has not been employed for 12 months at the time of his
          termination of employment, his "base period income" shall be his
          annualized base salary as defined in paragraph 3(a) above, at the rate
          then in effect and any annual incentive bonus paid to Executive prior
          to the date of his termination of employment or payable to Executive
          with respect to his period of employment.

          (f)The amounts payable to Executive under any other compensation
          arrangement maintained by the Company (or a subsidiary) which became
          payable, after payment of the lump sum provided for in (a), upon or as
          a result of the exercise by Executive of rights which are contingent
          on a Change of Control (and would be considered a "parachute payment"
          under Internal Revenue Code 280G and regulations thereunder), shall be
          reduced to the extent necessary so that such amounts, when added to
          such lump sum, do not exceed 299% of the Executive's "base amount" (as
          computed in accordance with Internal Revenue Code provisions and
          regulations) for determining whether Executive has received an excess
          parachute payment. If Executive has not been employed by the Company
          (or a subsidiary of the Company) during one or more calendar years
          immediately preceding the Change of Control Date, this paragraph (f)
          shall not apply.

Other Special Terms:

          BAYSHORE INVESTMENTS: Executive is a Florida licensed real estate
          broker, operating under the name of BayShore Investments. Although
          said company shall remain operative, Executive shall not spend
          significant time away from the Company nor be distracted from his
          duties and responsibilities as outlined herein.

Arbitration Procedure:

                  1. NOTICE OF CLAIM. A party asserting a Claim (the "CLAIMANT")
shall deliver written notice to each party against whom the Claim is asserted
(collectively, the "OPPOSING PARTY"), with a copy to the persons required to
receive copies of notices under the Agreement (the "ADDITIONAL NOTICE PARTIES"),
specifying the nature of the Claim and requesting a meeting to resolve same. The
Additional Notice Parties shall be given reasonable notice of and invited and
permitted to attend any such meeting. If no resolution is reached within 10
business days after delivery of such notice, the Claimant or the Opposing Party
may, within 45 days after giving such notice, invoke the arbitration procedure
provided herein by delivering to each Opposing Party and the Additional Notice
Parties a Notice of Arbitration, which shall specify the Claim as to which
arbitration is sought, the nature of the Claim, the basis for the Claim, and the
nature and amount of any damages or other compensation or relief sought. Each
party agrees that no punitive damages may be sought or recovered in any
arbitration, judicial proceeding or otherwise. Failure to file a Notice of
Arbitration within 45 days shall constitute a waiver of any right to relief for
the matters asserted in the notice of claim. Any Claim shall be forever barred,
and no relief may be sought therefor, if written notice of such Claim is not
made as provided above within one year of the date such claim accrues.

                  2. SELECTION OF ARBITRATOR. Within 20 business days after
receipt of the Notice of Arbitration, the Executive and the Board shall meet and
attempt to agree on an arbitrator to hear and decide the Claim. If the Executive
and the Board cannot agree on an arbitrator within ten business days, then they
shall request the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") to appoint an
arbitrator experienced in the area of dispute who does not have an ongoing
business relationship with any of the parties to the dispute. If the arbitrator
selected informs the parties he cannot hear and resolve the Claim within the
time-frame specified below, the Executive and the Board shall request the
appointment of another arbitrator by the AAA subject to the same requirements.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

                  3. ARBITRATION PROCEDURE. The following procedures shall
govern the conduct of any arbitration under this section. All procedural matters
relating to the conduct of the arbitration other than those specified below
shall be discussed among counsel for the parties and the arbitrator. Subject to
any agreement of the parties, the arbitrator shall determine all procedural
matters not specified herein.

                  (a) Within 30 days of the service after a Notice of
Arbitration, each party shall afford the other, or its counsel, with reasonable
access to documents relating directly to the issues raised in the Notice of
Arbitration. All documents produced and all copies thereof shall be maintained
as strictly confidential, shall be used for no purpose other than the
arbitration hereunder, and shall be returned to the producing party upon
completion of the arbitration. There shall be no other discovery except that, if
a reasonable need is shown, limited depositions may be allowed in the discretion
of the arbitrator, it being the expressed intention and agreement of each party
to have the arbitration proceedings conducted and resolved as expeditiously,
economically and fairly as reasonably practicable, and with the maximum degree
of confidentiality.

                  (b) All written communications regarding the proceeding sent
to the arbitrator shall be sent simultaneously to each party or its counsel,
with a copy to the Additional Notice Parties. Oral communications between any of
the parties or their counsel and the arbitrator shall be conducted only when all
parties or their counsel are present and participating in the conversation.

                  (c) Within 20 days after selection of the arbitrator, the
Claimant shall submit to the arbitrator a copy of the Notice of Arbitration,
along with a supporting memorandum and any exhibits or other documents
supporting the Claim.

                  (d) Within 20 days after receipt of the Claimant's submission,
the Opposing Party shall submit to the arbitrator a memorandum supporting its
position and any exhibits or other supporting documents. If the Opposing Party
fails to respond to any of the issues raised by the Claimant within 20 days
after receipt of the Claimant's submission, then the arbitrator may find for the
Claimant on any such issue and bar any subsequent consideration of the matter.

                  (e) Within 20 days after receipt of the Opposing Party's
response, the Claimant may submit to the arbitrator a reply to the Opposing
Party's response, or notification that no reply is forthcoming.

                  (f) Within 10 days after the latest submission as provided
above, the arbitrator shall notify the parties and the Additional Notice Parties
of the date of the hearing on the issues raised by the Claim. Scheduling of the
hearing shall be within the sole discretion of the arbitrator, but in no event
more than 30 days after the last submission by the parties, and shall take place
within 50 miles of the corporate headquarters of the Company at a place selected
by the arbitrator or such other place as is mutually agreed. Both parties shall
be granted substantially equal time to present evidence at the hearing. The
hearing shall not exceed one business day, except for good cause shown.

                  (g) Within 30 days after the conclusion of the hearing, the
arbitrator shall issue a written decision to be delivered to both parties and
the Additional Notice Parties (the "FINAL DETERMINATION"). The Final
Determination shall address each issue disputed by the parties, state the
arbitrator's findings and reasons therefor, and state the nature and amount of
any damages, compensation or other relief awarded.

                  (h) The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and
non-appealable and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable
law in such court as has jurisdiction thereof.

                  4. COSTS OF ARBITRATION. As part of the Final Determination,
the arbitrator shall determine the allocation of the costs and expenses of the
arbitration, including the arbitrator's fee and both parties' attorneys' fees
and expenses, based upon the extent to which each party prevailed in the
arbitration. In the event that any relief which is awarded is non-monetary, then
such costs and expenses shall be allocated in any manner as may be determined by
the arbitrators.

                  5. SATISFACTION OF AWARD. If any party fails to pay the amount
of the award, if any, assessed against it within 30 days after the delivery to
such party of the Final Determination, the unpaid amount shall bear interest
from the date of such delivery at the lesser of (i) the prime lending rate
reported by the Wall Street Journal plus three hundred basis points and (ii) the
maximum rate permitted by applicable usury laws. In addition, such party shall
promptly reimburse the other party for any and all costs or expenses of any
nature or kind whatsoever (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred in
seeking to collect such award or to enforce any Final Determination.

                  6. CONFIDENTIALITY OF PROCEEDINGS. The parties hereto agree
that all of the arbitration proceedings provided for herein, including any
notice of claim, the Notice of Arbitration, the submissions of the parties, and
the Final Determination issued by the arbitrator, shall be confidential and
shall not be disclosed at any time to any person other than the parties, their
representatives, the arbitrator and the Additional Notice Parties; PROVIDED THAT
this provision shall not prevent the party prevailing in the arbitration from
submitting the Final Determination to a court for the purpose of enforcing the
award, subject to comparable confidentiality protections if the court agrees;
and PROVIDED FURTHER that the foregoing shall not prohibit disclosure to the
minimum extent reasonably necessary to comply with (i) applicable law (or
requirement having the force of law), court order, judgment or decree,
including, without limitation, disclosures which may be required pursuant to
applicable securities laws, and (ii) the terms of contractual arrangements (such
as financing arrangements) to which the Company or any Additional Notice Party
may be subject so long as such contractual arrangements were not entered into
for the primary purpose of permitting disclosure which would otherwise be
prohibited hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Employment Agreement
as of the date first written above.

         Section 3. Designation of Trust and Certificates. The Trust created
hereby shall be known as the "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, Series
2001-16 Trust." The Certificates evidencing certain undivided ownership
interests therein shall be known as "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, Series
2001-16." The Certificates shall consist of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class
A-2 Certificates (together, the "Certificates"). The Trust is also issuing call
warrants with respect to the Certificates ("Call Warrants").

                  (a) The Certificates shall be held through the Depository in
book-entry form and shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as
Exhibits A-1 and A-2. The Class A-1 Certificates shall be issued in
denominations of $25. The Class A-2 Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $500,000 and in integral multiples of $1000 in excess thereof.
Except as provided in the Standard Terms and in paragraph (c) of this Section,

                                       7
<PAGE>

the Trust shall not issue additional Certificates or incur any indebtedness.

                  (b) The Class A-1 Certificates have an initial aggregate
certificate principal amount ("Certificate Principal Amount") of $25,000,000 and
the Class A-2 Certificates have an initial aggregate Certificate Principal
Amount of $4,033,000. The holders of the Class A-1 Certificates will be entitled
to receive on each Distribution Date the interest, if any, received on the
Underlying Securities to the extent necessary to pay interest at a rate of 9.00%
per annum on the outstanding Certificate Principal Amount of the Class A-1
Certificates. The Class A-2 Certificates shall not bear interest. On May 15,
2001, the Trustee will pay to the Depositor the amount of interest accrued on
the Underlying Securities from November 15, 2000 to but not including the
Closing Date. If the Depositor is not paid such amount on such date, it will
have a claim for such amount. In satisfaction of that claim the Depositor will
receive its pro rata share, based on the ratio the amount owed to the Depositor
bears to all amounts owed on the Certificates in respect of accrued interest, of
any proceeds recovered in respect of the Underlying Securities.

                  (c) The Depositor may sell to the Trustee additional
Underlying Securities on any date hereafter upon at least 3 Business Days (or
such lesser period as may be agreed by the parties hereto) 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 Depositor, on its order,
Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates in the same proportion as the
original Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates bear to the
Underlying Securities. Any such additional Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates authenticated and delivered shall have the same terms and rank pari
passu with the original Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates,
respectively, issued in accordance with this Series Supplement.

                  (d) As a condition precedent for transferring the Call
Warrants, the prospective transferee shall be required to deliver to the Trustee
and the Depositor, an executed copy of the Investment Letter (set forth as
Exhibit C hereto).

         Section 4. Trust Certificates. The Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt,
on or prior to the Closing Date, of:

         (i) the Underlying Securities set forth on the Underlying Securities
Schedule; and

         (ii) all documents required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 2.01 of the Standard Terms.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         Section 5. Distributions. (a) On each applicable Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall apply Available Funds in the Certificate Account as follows, in
the following order of priority:

         (i) the Trustee will pay the interest portion of Available Funds with
respect to the Underlying Securities:

                  (a) first, to the Trustee, as reimbursement for any
Extraordinary Trust Expenses incurred by the Trustee with respect to the
Underlying Securities in accordance with Section 6(b) below and approved by 100%
of the Certificateholders;

                  (b) second, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates,
interest at the rate of 9.00% per annum on the principal amount of the Class A-1
Certificates; and

                  (c) third, to the Depositor, any remainder.

         (ii) the Trustee will pay the principal portion of Available Funds with
respect to the Underlying Securities:

                  (a) first, to the Trustee, as reimbursement for any remaining
Extraordinary Trust Expenses incurred by the Trustee with respect to the
Underlying Securities in accordance with Section 6(b) below and approved by 100%
of the Certificateholders; and

                  (b) second, to the holders of the Class A-1 and Class A-2
Certificates, the remaining principal portion of Available Funds pro rata in the
proportion that the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 Certificates
bears to the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-2 Certificates.

         (b) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, amounts recovered in
respect of the Underlying Securities prior to the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date following (i) an acceleration of the date of maturity of the Underlying
Securities, (ii) the redemption or other prepayment of the Underlying Securities
by the Underlying Securities Issuer or (iii) the sale of the Underlying
Securities by the Trust, shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities
specified in Section 5(a) hereof. The Certificates shall be subject to a
mandatory redemption on any Distribution Date on which the Underlying Securities
are redeemed by the Underlying Securities Issuer.

         (c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event of the
occurrence of an Event of 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, 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. 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. Any of the following dealers

                                       9
<PAGE>

(or their successors) shall be deemed to qualify as leading dealers: (1) Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation, (2) Goldman, Sachs & Co., (3) Lehman Brothers
Inc., (4) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, (5) UBS Warburg
LLC and (6) Salomon Smith Barney Inc. 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. In the event of
such sale or of an acceleration and a corresponding payment on the Underlying
Securities, the Trustee shall distribute the proceeds to the Certificateholders
no later than two Business Days after the receipt of immediately available funds
in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof.

         (d) In the event that the Trustee receives non-cash property in respect
of the Underlying Securities as a result of a payment default on the Underlying
Securities (including from the sale thereof), the Trustee will promptly give
notice to the Depositary, or for any Certificates which are not then held by DTC
or any other depository, directly to the registered holders of the Certificates
then outstanding and unpaid. Such notice shall state that, not later than 30
days after the receipt of such property, the Trustee will allocate and
distribute such property to the holders of Certificates then outstanding and
unpaid, pro rata by principal amount (after deducting the costs incurred in
connection therewith). Property other than cash will be liquidated by the
Trustee, and the proceeds thereof distributed in cash, only to the extent
necessary to avoid distribution of fractional securities to Certificateholders.
In-kind distribution of such property to Certificateholders will be deemed to
reduce the principal amount of Certificates on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

         (e) Subject to Section 9(f) hereof, to the extent Available Funds are
insufficient to make any required distributions due to any class of Certificates
on any Distribution Date, any shortfall will be carried over and will be
distributed on the next Distribution Date on which sufficient funds are
available on the Available Funds to pay such shortfall.

         (f) If a payment with respect to the Underlying Securities is made to
the Trustee after the Distribution Date on which such payment was scheduled to
be distributed in respect of the Certificates, then the Trustee will distribute
any such amounts received on the next occurring Business Day (a "Special
Distribution Date") as if the funds had constituted Available Funds on the
Distribution Date immediately preceding such Special Distribution Date;
provided, however, that the Record Date for such Special Distribution Date shall
be five Business Days prior to the day on which the related payment was received
from either of the Underlying Securities Trustees.

         Section 6. Trustee's Fees. (a) As compensation for its services
hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Trustee Fee. The Trustee Fee
shall be paid by the Depositor and not from Trust Property. The Trustee shall
bear all Ordinary Expenses. Failure by the Depositor to pay such amount shall
not entitle the Trustee to any payment or reimbursement from the Trust, nor

                                       10
<PAGE>

shall such failure release the Trustee from the duties it is required to perform
under the Trust Agreement.

                  (b) Extraordinary Expenses shall not be paid out of the Trust
Property unless all of the Certificateholders then outstanding have voted to
require the Trustee to incur such Extraordinary Expenses. The Trustee may incur
other Extraordinary Expenses if any lesser percentage of the Certificateholders
requesting such action pursuant hereto reimburse the Trustee for the cost
thereof from their own funds in advance. If Extraordinary Expenses are not
approved unanimously as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6(b),
such Extraordinary Expenses shall not be an obligation of the Trust, and the
Trustee shall not file any claim against the Trust therefor notwithstanding
failure of certificateholders to reimburse the Trustee.

         Section 7. Optional Exchange; Optional Call

                  (a) (i) On each Distribution Date (or, if the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor holds all of the Certificates and the Call Warrants,
on any other date) the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, if it is
then the holder of Class A-1 Certificates of a certain principal amount and
Class A-2 Certificates of a principal amount which represent a like percentage
of all Class A-2 Certificates and (except to the extent such Certificates were
acquired through the exercise of Call Warrants) the holder of Call Warrants
related to the Class A-1 Certificates and Call Warrants related to the Class A-2
Certificates which, in each case, represent a like percentage of all such
outstanding Call Warrants may tender such Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates and such Call Warrants to the Trustee on such date and receive a
distribution of Underlying Securities representing a like percentage of the
Underlying Securities to the percentages of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class
A-2 Certificates and the related Call Warrants being tendered by the Depositor
or Affiliate to the Trustee; provided, however, that any right to exchange shall
be exercisable only (x) to the extent that the Depositor provides upon the
Trustee's request an opinion of counsel that such exchange would not affect the
characterization of the Trust as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax
purposes and (y) to the extent permitted under Section 7(a)(iv) hereof.

         (ii) Any such Affiliate of the Depositor must provide notice to the
Trustee (an "Exchange Request") no less than 5 days (or such shorter period
acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 30 days prior to an Optional
Exchange Date that it requests an Optional Exchange of Certificates on such
Optional Exchange Date.

         (iii) The Trustee shall not be obligated to determine whether an
Optional Exchange complies with the applicable provisions for exemption under
Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules or
regulations promulgated thereunder.

         (iv) Any such Optional Exchange by any Affiliate of the Depositor, will
be subject to the following restrictions: (a) certification to the Trustee that
any Certificates to be exchanged have been held for a minimum of six months and
(b) each Optional Exchange is limited in amount to a maximum of 5% (except for

                                       11
<PAGE>

Certificates acquired by the Underwriter but never distributed to investors, in
which case 25%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Certificates;
provided, however, that such restrictions shall not apply to the exchange of
Certificates that were acquired pursuant to Section 7(b).

         (v) The provisions of Section 4.07 of the Standard Terms shall not
apply to an Optional Exchange pursuant to this Section. This Section 7 shall not
provide the Depositor with a lien against, an interest in or a right to specific
performance with respect to the Underlying Securities.

         (vi) A Warrant Holder shall exchange Certificates called by it for pro
rata amounts of the Underlying Securities.

                  (b) (i) Concurrently with the execution of this Series
Supplement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute the Warrant Agent
Agreement and the Call Warrants, dated as of the date hereof and substantially
in the forms of Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2 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. On any Call Date, the Certificates may be called at the
applicable Call Price, in whole or in part, by the Warrant Holder, upon payment
of the applicable Call Price on or prior to such Call Date. In the case of a
call in part, the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates must be
called in the same proportion that each certificate bears to the outstanding
principal amount of the Certificates.

         (ii) The Warrant Holder may provide notice to the Trustee (a "Call
Request") no less than 5 Business Days prior to any Call Date, that it is
exercising its Call Warrants with respect to the Certificates on such Call Date.
The Call Request shall be deemed to be notice of an Optional Exchange pursuant
to Section 7(a) hereof of the Certificates to be acquired on the Call Date. Upon
request of the Trustee, the Warrant Holder shall deliver the opinion specified
in Section 7(a)(i)(x) above as a condition to any Optional Call.

         (iii) Upon receipt of a Call Request, the Trustee shall provide a
conditional call notice to the Depository not less than 3 Business Days prior to
the applicable Call Date.

         (iv) As a condition to any Optional Call, an opinion of counsel to the
Warrant Holder shall be delivered to the Rating Agencies, in form satisfactory
to the Rating Agencies, indicating that payment of the Call Price shall not be
recoverable as a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance under the United
States Bankruptcy Code. Such opinion may contain customary assumptions and
qualifications. In addition, the Warrant Holder shall provide a certificate of
solvency to the Trustee.

         (v) Deliveries of the Underlying Securities to the Warrant Holder (the
"Purchaser") will only be made against payment by the Purchaser of the Call
Price in immediately available funds. Such payment must occur no later than

                                       12
<PAGE>

10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Call Date. In the event that the Purchaser
fails to make such payment by such time (a "Purchase Default"), the sale shall
be voided and the Optional Call will be deemed not to be effective with respect
to such Distribution Date, and the Certificates and the Call Warrants shall
continue to remain outstanding. Subject to receipt of the Call Price as
aforesaid, the Trustee shall pay the Call Price to the Certificateholders on the
Call Date in accordance with the definition of "Call Price". The Call Price in
respect of partial calls shall be allocated to the Certificateholders within
each class pro rata to the extent of their entitlements thereto.

         (vi) The Trustee shall not consent to any amendment or modification of
this Agreement (including the Standard Terms) which would alter the timing or
amount of any payment of the Call Price without the prior written consent of
100% of the Warrant Holders.

         (vii) The Trustee shall not be obligated to determine whether an
Optional Call complies with the applicable provisions for exemption under Rule
3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules or
regulations promulgated thereunder.

         (viii) This Section 7 shall not provide the Warrant Holder with a lien
against, an interest in or a right to specific performance with respect to the
Underlying Securities.

         (ix) The Warrant Holder shall initially be the Depositor.

         Section 8. Events of Default.

         Within 30 days of the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of
the Certificates, the Trustee will give notice to the Certificateholders,
transmitted by mail, of all such uncured or unwaived Events of Default known to
it. However, except in the case of an Event of Default relating to the payment
of principal, if any, or interest on any of the Underlying Securities, the
Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if in good faith it
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Certificateholders.

         Section 9. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) The provisions of Section 4.04, Advances, of the Standard
Terms shall not apply to the Series 2001-16 Certificates.

                  (b) The provisions of Section 4.07, Optional Exchange, of the
Standard Terms shall not apply to the Series 2001-16 Certificates.

                  (c) The Trustee shall simultaneously forward reports to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Standard Terms and to the New
York Stock Exchange.

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  (d) Except as expressly provided herein, the
Certificateholders shall not be entitled to terminate the Trust or cause the
sale or other disposition of the Underlying Securities.

                  (e) The provisions of Section 3.07(d) of the Standard Terms
shall not apply to the Series 2001-16 Certificates.

                  (f) If the Trustee has not received payment with respect to a
Collection Period on the Underlying Securities on or prior to the related
Distribution Date, such distribution will be made promptly upon receipt of such
payment. No additional amounts shall accrue on the Certificates or be owed to
Certificateholders as a result of such delay; provided, however, that any
additional interest owed and paid by the Underlying Securities Issuer as a
result of such delay shall be paid to the Class A-1 Certificateholders, pro rata
in proportion to their respective entitlements to interest.

                  (g) The outstanding principal balance of the Certificates
shall not be reduced by the amount of any Realized Losses (as defined in the
Standard Terms).

                  (h) The Trust may not engage in any business or activities
other than in connection with, or relating to, the holding, protecting and
preserving of the Trust Property and the issuance of the Certificates, and other
than those required or authorized by the Trust Agreement or incidental and
necessary to accomplish such activities. The Trust may not issue or sell any
certificates or other obligations other than the Certificates or otherwise
incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed.

                  (i) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the
contrary, the Trustee may be removed upon 60 days prior written notice delivered
by the holders of the Certificates representing the Required Percentage-Removal.

                  (j) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service challenges
the characterization of the Trust as a grantor trust, the Trustee shall then
file such forms as the Depositor may specify to establish the Trust's election
pursuant to Section 761 of the Code to exclude the Trust from the application of
Subchapter K of the Code and is hereby empowered to execute such forms on behalf
of the Certificateholders.

                  (k) Notwithstanding anything in the Standard Terms to the
contrary, the Trustee, upon written direction by the Depositor, will execute the
Certificates.

                  (l) In relation to Section 7.01(f) of the Standard Terms, any
periodic reports filed by the Trustee pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
in accordance with the customary practices of the Depositor, need not contain
any independent reports.

                  (m) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the
contrary, the Trustee will have no recourse to the Underlying Securities.

                                       14
<PAGE>

                  (n) The Trust will not merge or consolidate with any other
entity without confirmation from each Rating Agency that such merger or
consolidation will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of
its then-current rating on the Certificates.

                  (o) Notices. All directions, demands and notices hereunder or
under the Standard Terms shall be in writing and shall be delivered as set forth

         Section 10. Governing Law. THIS SERIES SUPPLEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS
DESCRIBED HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN
THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAWS PROVISIONS
THEREOF.

         Section 11. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all
such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

         Section 12. Termination of the Trust. The Trust shall terminate upon
the earliest to occur of (i) the payment in full at maturity or sale by the
Trust after a payment default on or an acceleration or other early payment of
the Underlying Securities and the distribution in full of all amounts due to the
Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificateholders; (ii) the Final Scheduled
Distribution Date; (iii) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last
survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof and (iv) all
of the outstanding Certificates are exchanged for all of the Underlying
Securities in accordance with Section 7(a) hereof.

         Section 13. Sale of Underlying Securities. In the event of a sale of
the Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof, the Liquidation
Proceeds, if any, shall be deposited into the Certificate Account for
distribution to the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall only deliver the
Underlying Securities to the purchaser of such Underlying Securities against
payment in same day funds deposited into the Certificate Account.

         Section 14. Amendments. Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement
to the contrary, in addition to the other restrictions on modification and
amendment contained therein, the Trustee shall not enter into any amendment or

                                       16
<PAGE>

modification of the Trust Agreement which would adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the holders of any class of Certificates without the
consent of the holders of 100% of such class of Certificates; provided, however,
that no such amendment or modification will be permitted which would alter the
status of the Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. Further,
no amendment shall be permitted which would adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Class of Certificateholders without confirmation by
each Rating Agency that such amendment will not result in a downgrading or
withdrawal of its rating of such Certificates.

         Section 15. Voting of Underlying Securities, Modification of Indenture.
The Trustee, as holder of the Underlying Securities, has the right to vote and
give consents and waivers in respect of the Underlying Securities as permitted
by the Depository and except as otherwise limited by the Trust Agreement. In the
event that the Trustee receives a request from the Depository, the Underlying
Securities Trustee or the Underlying Securities Issuer for its consent to any
amendment, modification or waiver of the Underlying Securities, the Underlying
Securities Indenture or any other document thereunder or relating thereto, or
receives any other solicitation for any action with respect to the Underlying
Securities, the Trustee shall mail a notice of such proposed amendment,
modification, waiver or solicitation to each Certificateholder of record as of
such date. The Trustee shall request instructions from the Certificateholders as
to whether or not to consent to or vote to accept such amendment, modification,
waiver or solicitation. The Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from
consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative outstanding
principal balances of the Certificates) as the Certificates of the Trust were
actually voted or not voted by the Certificateholders thereof as of a date
determined by the Trustee prior to the date on which such consent or vote is
required, provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the Trust
Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to
any matter (i) unless such vote or consent would not (based on an opinion of
counsel) alter the status of the Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax
purposes or result in the imposition of tax upon the Certificateholders, (ii)
which would alter the timing or amount of any payment on the Underlying
Securities, including, without limitation, any demand to accelerate the
Underlying Securities, except in the event of a default under the Underlying
Securities or an event which with the passage of time would become an event of
default under the Underlying Securities and with the unanimous consent of all
outstanding Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificateholders, or (iii) which would
result in the exchange or substitution of any of the outstanding Underlying
Securities pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of such
Underlying Securities except in the event of a default under the Underlying
Securities Indenture and only with the consent of Certificateholders
representing 100% of the Class A-1 Certificates and 100% of the Class A-2
Certificates. The Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act
resulting from Certificateholders' late return of, or failure to return,
directions requested by the Trustee from the Certificateholders.

                                       17
<PAGE>

         In the event that an offer is made by the Underlying Securities Issuer
to issue new obligations in exchange and substitution for any of the Underlying
Securities, pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of the
outstanding Underlying Securities or any other offer is made for the Underlying
Securities, the Trustee shall notify the Class A-1 Certificateholders and Class
A-2 Certificateholders of such offer promptly. The Trustee must reject any such
offer unless the Trustee is directed by the affirmative vote of the holders of
100% of all of the Certificates to accept such offer and the Trustee has
received the tax opinion described above. If pursuant to the preceding Sentence,
the Trustee accepts any such offer, the Trustee shall promptly notify the
Rateing Agencies.

         If an event of default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing,
and if directed by a majority of the outstanding Class A-1 Certificateholders
and Class A-2 Certificateholders, the Trustee shall vote the Underlying
Securities in an outstanding principal amount equal to the outstanding
certificate principal amount of the Certificates in favor of directing, or take
such other action as may be appropriate to direct, either of the Underlying
Securities Trustees to declare the unpaid principal amount of the Underlying
Securities and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable.

interest in the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of the

Distribution Date is the close of business on the day immediately preceding such

similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates or
the Trust Agreement.

provided in the Trust Agreement by the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately
available funds, or check mailed to the Certificateholder of record in the

registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency

transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such
nominee. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding
the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or
such other location as may be specified in such notice.

                  Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or

more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust Agreement. The registered

Trust Property (to the extent of its rights therein) for distributions
hereunder.

                  The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and
the Trustee with the consent of the holders of Class A-1 Certificates in the
manner set forth in the Series Supplement and the Standard Terms. Any such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate (or any predecessor Certificate) shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent in
made upon this Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.

                  The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only in
denominations of $25.

                  As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain

of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained
by the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, duly endorsed

of the same class in authorized denominations evidencing the same principal
amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The initial
Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is U.S. Bank Trust
National Association.

                  No service charge will be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require exchange of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

                  The Depositor and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

                  It is the intention of the parties to the Trust Agreement that
the Trust created thereunder shall constitute a fixed investment trust for
federal income tax purposes under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4, and
the Certificateholder agrees to treat the Trust, any distributions therefrom and

Certificateholders and retirement of the Underlying Securities; (ii) the
distribution in full of all Underlying Securities to the exchanging
Certificateholders on any Optional Exchange Date and any amounts due to
Certificateholders on any Optional Exchange Date; and (iii) the expiration of 21

created by the Trust Agreement shall have terminated in accordance therewith, no

         Section 1.1 Manner of Exercise. (a) This Call Warrant may be exercised
by the holder hereof (each, a "Warrant Holder"), in whole or in part, on any

shall thereupon be entitled to delivery of the Certificates in a Certificate

when such Warrant Holder is insolvent, and in connection therewith, such Warrant
Holder shall be required to certify that it is solvent at the time of exercise
settlement, by completing the Form of Subscription attached to this Call Warrant
and delivering such completed Form of Subscription to the Trustee on or prior to

shall hold each such payment for the benefit of the holder hereof in a
segregated trust account).

any obligations on a holder of a Call Warrant in any way to pay any Call Price.
If, by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date, the holder of the Call
Warrant being exercised has not paid the Call Price, then such notice shall
automatically expire and none of the holder of such Call Warrant, the Warrant
Agent and the Trustee shall have any obligations with respect to such notice by

subsequently deliver a notice which satisfies the terms of the Trust Agreement.

         Section 1.2 Transfer of Certificates. As soon as practicable after each
surrender of this Call Warrant, in whole or in part on the Call Date and upon
satisfaction of all other requirements described in this Call Warrant, the
Warrant Agent shall instruct the Trustee to effect an exchange of the portion of
the Certificates called for Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 7(a)
hereof, and, in case such exercise is in part only, a new Call Warrant of like
tenor, representing the remaining outstanding Call Warrants of the holder, shall
be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the holder hereof.

Warrants surrendered to the Warrant Agent for the purpose of exercise (in whole
or in part) pursuant to Section 1.1 and actually exercised, or for the purpose
of transfer or exchange pursuant to Article III, shall be cancelled by the
Warrant Agent, and no Call Warrant shall be issued in lieu thereof. The Warrant
Agent shall destroy all cancelled Call Warrants.

         Section 1.4 No Rights as Holder of Certificates Conferred by Call
Warrants. Prior to the exercise hereof, this Call Warrant shall not entitle the
holder hereof to any of the rights of a holder of the Certificates, including,
without limitation, the right to receive the payment of any amount on or in
respect of the Certificates or to enforce any of the covenants of the Trust
Agreement.

pursuant to an exemption therefrom under such Act. This Call Warrant represented
hereby may be transferred only in compliance with the conditions specified in
this Call Warrant."

         Section 2.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinions of Counsel. Prior to
any transfer of any Call Warrant or portion thereof, the holder hereof will give

representing whole numbers of Call Warrants. The Trustee and the Warrant Agent
may treat the Person in whose name any Call Warrant is registered on such

charges) may direct.

reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Call Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of any Call Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity bond in such
reasonable amount as the Warrant Agent may determine, or, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon the surrender of such Call Warrant for cancellation to the
Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, and cause the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Call Warrant of like tenor bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Article II) to execute and deliver such new Call Warrants issued in accordance

officer.

                  (g) The Warrant Agent and any shareholder, director, officer
or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Call
Warrants or other securities of the Trust or otherwise act as fully and freely

                  (h) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the

mailed to the Depositor 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

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

Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of

which may be designated as an interim Warrant Agent. If an interim Warrant Agent
is designated, the Depositor shall then appoint a permanent successor to the
Warrant Agent, which may be the interim Warrant Agent. If the Depositor 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 Agent appointed hereunder must be rated in one on 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.

         Section 6.1 Remedies. The remedies at law of the holder of this Call
Warrant 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 this Call Warrant
are not and will not be adequate and, to the full extent permitted by law, such
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 6.2 Limitation on Liabilities of Holder. Nothing contained in
this Call Warrant shall be construed as imposing any obligation on the holder
hereof to purchase any of the Certificates except in accordance with the terms
hereof.

         Section 6.3 Notices. All notices and other communications under this
Call Warrant shall be in writing and shall be delivered, or mailed by registered

         Section 6.4 Amendment. (a) This Call Warrant may be amended from time
to time by the Depositor, the Trustee and the Warrant Agent without the consent
of any 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 as a grantor trust 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 this Warrant which
shall nor 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 Warrant Agent other than U.S. Bank
Trust National Association.

                  (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this
Call Warrant may also be modified or amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Warrant Agent with the consent of the holders of 66-2/3% of
the Call Warrants, upon receipt of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Warrant Agent that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the
following proviso) have seen satisfied, for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Call
Warrant or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of this Call
Warrant; 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 nor 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
deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant without the consent of the holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 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 this Warrant, this Section 6.4(b) shall
not be amended without the consent of the holders of 100% of the affected Call
Warrants.

                  (c) 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 the Trustee 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.

inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any right to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation

                                   ARTICLE I

                            Exercise of Call Warrants

         Section 1.1 Manner of Exercise. (a) This Call Warrant may be exercised
by the holder hereof (each, a "Warrant Holder"), in whole or in part, on any
Call Date, set forth in a written notice delivered to the Warrant Agent and the
Trustee at any time on or before the Business Day that is at least 5 Business
Days before such Call Date, by surrender of this Call Warrant to the Warrant
Agent at its office set forth in Section 6.3 hereof no later than 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on such Call Date; provided that such holder shall have
made payment to the Warrant Agent, by wire transfer or other immediately
available funds acceptable to the Warrant Agent, in the amount of the applicable
Call Price, in a manner such that funds are available to the Warrant Agent no
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Call Date, and such holder
shall thereupon be entitled to delivery of the Certificates in a Certificate
Principal Amount equal to $[25] per Call Warrant (if exercised in whole);
provided further that the Warrant Holder may not exercise this Call Warrant at
any time when such Warrant Holder is insolvent, and in connection therewith,
such Warrant Holder shall be required to certify that it is solvent at the time
of exercise settlement, by completing the Form of Subscription attached to this
Call Warrant and delivering such completed Form of Subscription to the Trustee
on or prior to the Call Date and deliver to the Trustee a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee of the opinion and the solvency certificate required
pursuant to Section 7(b)(iv) of the Series Supplement. Such notice of the
exercise of a Call Warrant shall be deemed to be notice of an Optional Exchange
pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Series Supplement.

                  (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 Call Price from such holder
pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 1.1. The Warrant Agent shall transfer
each payment made by the holder hereof pursuant to clause (a) of this Section
1.1 to the Trustee in immediately available funds, for application pursuant to
the Trust Agreement on the applicable Call 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 Call Price.
If, by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date, the holder of the Call
Warrant being exercised has not paid the Call Price, then such notice shall
automatically expire and none of the holder of such Call Warrant, the Warrant
Agent and the Trustee shall have any obligations with respect to such notice by
the holder of such Call Warrant. The expiration of a notice by the holder of
this Call Warrant shall in no way affect a holder of a Call Warrant's right to

                                     B-2-2
<PAGE>

subsequently deliver a notice which satisfies the terms of the Trust Agreement.

         Section 1.2 Transfer of Certificates. As soon as practicable after each
surrender of this Call Warrant, in whole or in part on the Call Date and upon
satisfaction of all other requirements described in this Call Warrant, the
Warrant Agent shall instruct the Trustee to effect an exchange of the portion of
the Certificates called for Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 7(a)
hereof, and, in case such exercise is in part only, a new Call Warrant of like
tenor, representing the remaining outstanding Call Warrants of the holder, shall
be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the holder hereof.

         Section 1.3 Cancellation and Destruction of Call Warrant. All Call
Warrants surrendered to the Warrant Agent for the purpose of exercise (in whole
or in part) pursuant to Section 1.1 and actually exercised, or for the purpose
of transfer or exchange pursuant to Article III, shall be cancelled by the
Warrant Agent, and no Call Warrant shall be issued in lieu thereof. The Warrant
Agent shall destroy all cancelled Call Warrants.

         Section 1.4 No Rights as Holder of Certificates Conferred by Call
Warrants. Prior to the exercise hereof, this Call Warrant shall not entitle the
holder hereof to any of the rights of a holder of the Certificates, including,
without limitation, the right to receive the payment of any amount on or in
respect of the Certificates or to enforce any of the covenants of the Trust
Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE II

                            Restrictions on Transfer

Article II, each Call Warrant (including each Call Warrant issued upon the
transfer of any Call Warrant) shall be issued with a legend in substantially the
following form:

                  "This Call Warrant has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be transferred, sold or
otherwise disposed of except while a registration under such Act is in effect or
pursuant to an exemption therefrom under such Act. This Call Warrant represented
hereby may be transferred only in compliance with the conditions specified in
this Call Warrant."

         Section 2.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinions of Counsel. Prior to
any transfer of any Call Warrant or portion thereof, the holder hereof will give
five (5) Business Days (or such lesser period acceptable to the Warrant Agent)
prior written notice to the Warrant Agent of such holder's intention to effect
such transfer.

         Section 3.1 Warrant Register; Ownership of Call Warrants. The Warrant
Agent will keep a register in which the Warrant Agent will provide for the
registration of Call Warrants and the registration of transfers of Call Warrants
representing whole numbers of Call Warrants. The Trustee and the Warrant Agent
may treat the Person in whose name any Call Warrant is registered on such
register so the owner thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee and the Warrant
Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

         Section 3.2 Transfer and Exchange of Call Warrants. Upon surrender of
any Call Warrant for registration of transfer or for exchange to the Warrant
Agent, the Warrant Agent shall (subject to compliance with Article II) execute
and deliver, and cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and
deliver, in exchange therefor, a new Call Warrant of like tenor and evidencing a

charges) may direct.

         Section 3.3 Replacement of Call Warrants Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Call Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of any Call Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity bond in such
reasonable amount as the Warrant Agent may determine, or, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon the surrender of such Call Warrant for cancellation to the
Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, and cause the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Call Warrant of like tenor bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

         Section 3.4 Execution and Delivery of Call Warrants by Trustee. The
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, hereby agrees (subject to compliance with
Article II) to execute and deliver such new Call Warrants issued in accordance
with Section 1.2 or this Article III as the Warrant Agent shall request in
accordance herewith.

                  (g) The Warrant Agent and any shareholder, director, officer
or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Call
Warrants or other securities of the Trust or otherwise act as fully and freely

                  (h) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the

mailed to the Depositor 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
Depositor; provided that no such resignation or discharge shall become effective
until a successor Warrant Agent shall have been appointed hereunder. The
Depositor 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

<PAGE>

Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of
acting, the Depositor 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 Depositor shall then appoint a permanent successor to the
Warrant Agent, which may be the interim Warrant Agent. If the Depositor 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 Agent appointed hereunder must be rated in one on 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.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  Miscellaneous

         Section 6.1 Remedies. The remedies at law of the holder of this Call
Warrant 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 this Call Warrant
are not and will not be adequate and, to the full extent permitted by law, such
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 6.2 Limitation on Liabilities of Holder. Nothing contained in
this Call Warrant shall be construed as imposing any obligation on the holder
hereof to purchase any of the Certificates except in accordance with the terms
hereof.

         Section 6.3 Notices. All notices and other communications under this
Call Warrant shall be in writing and shall be delivered, or mailed by registered

to time by the Depositor, the Trustee and the Warrant Agent without the consent
of any holder hereof, upon receipt of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Warrant Agent that the provisions hereof have been satisfied and that such

                                     B-2-8
<PAGE>

amendment would not alter the status of the Trust as a grantor trust 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

hereof or any holder of a Certificate or (ii) to evidence and provide for the
acceptance of appointment hereunder of a Warrant Agent other than U.S. Bank

                  (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this
Call Warrant may also be modified or amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Warrant Agent with the consent of the holders of 66-2/3% of
the Call Warrants, upon receipt of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Warrant Agent that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the
following proviso) have seen satisfied, for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Call
Warrant or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of this Call
Warrant; 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 nor 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
deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant without the consent of the holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 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 this Warrant, this Section 6.4(b) shall
not be amended without the consent of the holders of 100% of the affected Call
Warrants.

                  (c) 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 the Trustee 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 6.5 Expiration. The right to exercise this Call Warrant 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
maturity of all of the Certificates.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  In connection with our proposed purchase of $___________
aggregate principal amount of Call Warrants (the "Call Warrants") representing
an interest in the Corporate Backed Trust Certificates Series 2001-16 Trust (the
"Trust"), the investor on whose behalf the undersigned is executing this letter
(the "Purchaser") confirms that:

         (iii) Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement, dated April 27,
2001 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), with respect to the Certificates to which
the Call Warrants relate. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Prospectus Supplement.
The Purchaser has received a copy of the Prospectus Supplement and such other
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 Depositor and the Underwriters, concerning the
terms and conditions of the offering described in the Prospectus Supplement. 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 Depositor or the Trustee or any of your or
their affiliates, except as expressly contained in the Prospectus Supplement and
in the other written information, if any, discussed above. 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

                                      C-1
<PAGE>

investment. The Purchaser has relied upon its own tax, legal and financial
advisors in connection with its decision to purchase the Call Warrants.

         (iv) 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
has delivered to you a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as
Annex I or Annex 2, as applicable 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 each of 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.

         (v) 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 (i) if it decides to resell, pledge or otherwise
transfer any Call Warrant, such Call Warrant may be resold, pledged or
transferred without registration only to an entity that has delivered to the
Depositor and the Trustee a certification that it is 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 and (ii) it will,
and each subsequent holder will be required to, notify any purchaser of any Call
Warrant from it of the resale restrictions referred to in clause (i) above.

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

                  "THIS CALL WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
                  SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE
                  TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A
                  REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS IN EFFECT OR PURSUANT TO AN
                  EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT. THIS CALL WARRANT
                  REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH
                  THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS CALL WARRANT."

         (vii) The Purchaser understands that no subsequent transfer of the Call
Warrants is permitted unless it causes its proposed transferee to provide to the
Depositor and the Initial Warrant Holder a letter substantially in the form of
Exhibit C to the Series Supplement, as applicable, or such other written
statement as the Depositor shall prescribe.

         (viii) The Purchaser agrees that if at some time in the future it
wishes to transfer or exchange any of the Call Warrants, it will not transfer or
exchange any of the Call Warrants unless such transfer or exchange is in

                                      C-2
<PAGE>

accordance with Section 5.04 of the Trust Agreement. The Purchaser understands
that any purported transfer of the Call Warrants (or any interest therein) in
contravention of any of the restrictions and conditions in the Trust Agreement,
as applicable, shall be a void, and the purported transferee in such transfer
shall not be recognized by the Trust or any other Person as a Warrantholder, as
the case may, be for any purpose.
