The preceding rule may be amended by the Trustor and the Trustee without the consent of any CorTS Certificateholder based on an Opinion of Counsel that any such change is necessary or helpful to preventing the Trust from becoming treated as a foreign trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely without further investigation upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this Section definition as to the truth and correctness of any statements contained therein.

The I/O Certificates will represent a beneficial ownership interest in the interest received on the Underlying Securities equal to the I/O Fixed Payments and, to the extent set forth in Section 10, will represent a beneficial ownership interest in the principal and redemption premium, if any, of the Underlying Securities.  The CorTS and the I/O Certificates will rank pari passu with respect to their respective beneficial ownership interest in the interest payments on the Underlying Securities and will share proportionately in such interest based upon the accrued and unpaid CorTS Fixed Payments, and the accrued and unpaid I/O Fixed Payments.

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

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

 

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

 

(b)           I/O Certificates that are Rule 144A Certificates initially shall be represented by one or more certificates in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Restricted Global Certificate”).  The Restricted Global Certificate shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC, and initially registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.  I/O Certificates that are Regulation S Certificates initially shall be represented by one or more temporary global certificates in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate”).  The Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall be deposited on behalf of the subscribers thereof with a custodian for DTC.  The Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall be registered in the name of a nominee of DTC for credit to the subscribers’ respective accounts at Euroclear or Clearstream Banking.

Within a reasonable period of time after the expiration of the period of 40 days commencing on the day after the later of (i) the commencement of the offering made hereby and (ii) the Closing Date (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificates shall be exchanged for one or more permanent global certificates (collectively, the “Permanent Regulation S Global Certificate” and, together with the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate, the “Regulation S Global Certificate” (the Regulation S Global Certificate and the Restricted Global Certificate, collectively, being the “Global Certificates”)), upon delivery to DTC of certification of compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the I/O Certificates and pursuant to Regulation S.  During the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream Banking (as indirect participants in DTC), unless transferred to a person that takes delivery through the Restricted Global Certificate in accordance with the certification requirements described below.  Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Certificate may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate at any time except in the limited circumstances described below.

 

Except as set forth below, the Global Certificates may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.  Beneficial interests in the Global Certificates may not be exchanged for Certificates in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below.

 

Rule 144A Certificates (including beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Certificate) shall be subject to certain restrictions on transfer and shall bear a restrictive legend as set forth on Exhibit F hereto.  In addition, transfer of beneficial interests in the Global Certificates shall be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking), which may change from time to time.

 

No Certificateholder shall be entitled to receive a certificate representing such Certificateholder’s interest, except as set forth herein.  Unless and until definitive Certificates are issued under the limited circumstances described herein, all references to actions by Certificateholders with respect to any such Certificates shall refer to action to be taken by DTC upon instructions from its Participants.

 

Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and effecting DTC and its operations, DTC shall take action permitted to be taken by a Certificateholder under the Agreement only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose DTC account such Certificates are credited.

(c)           Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the corresponding Restricted Global Certificate only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor in the form required by the Trustee to the effect that such transfer is being made (i) (a) to a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (b) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act (such certification being accompanied by an opinion of counsel regarding the availability of such exemption) and (ii) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

 

Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Certificate may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144A (if available) and that, if such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream Banking.

 

Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Certificates that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Certificate shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Certificate and become an interest in such other Global Certificate and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Certificate for as long as it remains such an interest.

 

Transfers involving an exchange of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Certificate or vice versa shall be effected in DTC by means of an instruction originated by the Trustee through the DTC/Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system.  Accordingly, in connection with such transfer, appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect a decrease in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Certificate and a corresponding increase in the principal amount of the Restricted Global Certificate or vice versa, as applicable.

 

(d)           Definitive certificates shall be issued to owners of Certificates or their nominees, respectively, rather than to DTC or its nominee, only if (i) the Trustor advises the Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Clearing Agency with respect to the Certificates and the Trustor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) to the extent permitted by law, the Trustor, at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to the Certificates through DTC.

 

Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trustee is required to notify all Participants of the availability through DTC of definitive certificates.  Upon surrender by DTC of the definitive certificates representing the Certificates and receipt of instructions for re-registration, the Trustee shall reissue such Certificates as definitive certificates issued in the respective principal amounts owned by the individual owners of such Certificates, and thereafter the Trustee will recognize the holders of such definitive certificates as Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement.

Section 8.   Call Warrants.  (a) Concurrently with the execution of this Series Supplement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute the Warrant Agent Agreement and one or more Call Warrants, dated as of the date hereof and substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, initially evidencing all of the Call Warrants.  The Trustee shall perform the Trust’s obligations under the Warrant Agent Agreement and the Call Warrants in accordance with their respective terms.  In addition, the Trustee shall execute and deliver Call Warrants, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, with respect to any additional Underlying Securities sold to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust pursuant to Section 5 of this Series Supplement.

 

(b)           The Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders and the Rating Agency upon receipt of (i) any notice, pursuant to the provision of the Call Warrants, of a Warrantholder’s exercise of its Call Warrants and (ii) notice from the Warrant Agent that it has received the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price with respect to such exercised Call Warrants on the Warrant Exercise Notice Date.  Such notice from the Trustee shall state (i) the Warrant Exercise Date, (ii) that such exercise of the Call Warrant is unconditional and irrevocable, (iii) that the Trustee will select by lot for redemption a principal amount of CorTS equal to the principal amount of Underlying Securities to be purchased and that such redemption of the CorTS will occur on the Warrant Exercise Date at a price equal to $25 per CorTS plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption plus, in the case of a Warrant Exercise Date prior to the date referred to in clause (i) of the definition thereof, $1.00 per CorTS, and (iv) that on the date of redemption, so long as the I/O Certificates are outstanding, the I/O Certificateholders will be paid the I/O Payment Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Warrant Exercise Date on the Notional Amount of the I/O Certificates to be reduced and that following such payment on the I/O Certificates the Notional Amount of the I/O Certificates will be reduced by the principal amount of Underlying Securities purchased.

 

(c)           Upon the exercise of any Call Warrant in accordance with the terms of the Call Warrants, the Trustee, after receipt of the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price and the Call Warrants being exercised, shall deliver or cause to be delivered upon the written direction of the Warrant Agent, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Warrant Exercise Date, the Underlying Securities as specified in the exercised Call Warrant by instructing the Depositary to credit such Underlying Securities to the account of the exercising Warrantholder or its nominee, provided that the Trustee shall have received notice of the exercise of such Call Warrant from the Warrant Agent in accordance with the terms of the Call Warrants and shall have received from the Warrant Agent an amount, in immediately available funds in a form acceptable to the Trustee, equal to the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price for such Underlying Securities by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Warrant Exercise Date.

 

(d)           Upon receipt from the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price pursuant to the Call Warrants being exercised, the Trustee shall credit the amount of the Warrant Exercise Purchase Price to the Certificate Account on or before the related Warrant Exercise Date and pay to the CorTS Certificateholders and the I/O Certificateholders the amount described in Section 8(b)(iii) and (iv) above.  The CorTS to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee or DTC by lot and will be paid for on the Warrant Exercise Date, the I/O Payment Amount will be made and the Notional Amount of the I/O Certificates will be reduced pro rata based upon the Notional Amount of I/O Certificates held by an I/O Certificateholder.

Section 9.   Certain Provisions of Base Trust Agreement Not Applicable.  The provisions of Sections [2.3, 3.1.(b), 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.18, 4.3, 4.5, 5.16, 5.17, 6.1(f), (g) and (h), 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7. and 9.1 and Article VII] of the Base Trust Agreement and any provision of the Base Trust Agreement, which imposes obligations on, or creates rights in favor of, the Trustee or the Certificateholders as a result of or in connection with an “Event of Default” or “Administrative Agent Termination Event” shall be inapplicable with respect to the Certificates.  In addition, there is no “Administrative Agent”, “Calculation Agent”, or “Cut-off Date” specified herein, and all references to “Administrative Agent”, “Calculation Agent” or “Cut-off Date” in the Base Trust Agreement, therefore shall be inapplicable with respect to the Certificates.

 

Section 10.   Distributions.

 

(a)           On each Scheduled Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to the CorTS Certificateholders the related CorTS Fixed Payment and to the I/O Certificateholders the related I/O Fixed Payment, in each case, to the extent of Interest Collections.  Subject to the exercise of the Call Warrants (in which case the provisions of Section 8 of this Series Supplement shall apply) and the terms of this Section 10, on the CorTS Maturity Date the Trustee shall distribute to the CorTS Certificateholders the principal balance of the CorTS (in the amount of $[__________]), to the extent the principal of the Underlying Securities is received by the Trustee on such date, and shall distribute all other amounts held in the Trust pursuant to Section 10(k) of this Series Supplement.  All such distributions shall be made from funds on deposit in the Certificate Account.  If any payment with respect to the Trust Assets as described in this Section 10(a) is made to the Trustee after the Scheduled Distribution Date on which such payment was due, the Trustee shall distribute such amount received on the Business Day following such receipt.

 

(b)           In the event of a Payment Default, the Trustor (on behalf of the Trust) shall cause bids to be solicited for the cash sale of the Underlying Securities with settlement thereof on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after such sale from three leading dealers in the relevant market and the Warrantholders and shall accept the highest firm bid received from such dealers or Warrantholders.  Any of the following dealers shall be deemed to qualify as leading dealers: (1) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, (2) Goldman, Sachs & Co., (3) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, (4) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., (5) Morgan Stanley & Co., (6) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., (7) Barclays Capital Inc. and (8) Citigroup Global Markets Inc.; provided, however, that no bid from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or any affiliate thereof shall be accepted unless such bid equals the then fair market value of such Underlying Securities.  The Trustor 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 (which acceptance shall be at the direction of the Trustor or its designee) but the sale has failed to settle on the proposed settlement date, the Trustor shall cause new bids to be requested from such leading dealers and the Warrantholders.

(c)           Any proceeds received by the Trustee in respect of the Underlying Securities as a result of the liquidation of the Underlying Securities following a Payment Default on the Underlying Securities, shall (subject to clause (l) of this Section 10) be distributed to the CorTS Certificateholders and the I/O Certificateholders such that the percentage of such proceeds received by the CorTS Certificateholders equals the CorTS Allocation Percentage as of the Record Date for such distribution and the percentage of such proceeds received by the I/O Certificateholders equals the I/O Allocation Percentage as of the Record Date for such distribution until the aggregate amount so distributed to the CorTS Certificateholders and I/O Certificateholders equals the sum of the principal amount of the Underlying Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to date of distribution plus the I/O Payment Amount as of the date of distribution, and the Call Warrants will, if In-the-Money, be deemed to be exercised and will be cash settled for an amount equal to any remaining proceeds.  If the Call Warrants are not In-the-Money, they will expire worthless.  Such proceeds will be distributed as described above in full satisfaction of the claim of the CorTS and the I/O Certificates and the Call Warrants.  All such distributions shall be made from funds on deposit in the Certificate Account.  The Trustee will promptly give notice as provided in Section 18(b) to the Rating Agency and as provided in Section 18(c) 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 (i) the identity of the issue of Underlying Securities, (ii) the date and nature of such Payment Default, (iii) the amount of the interest or principal in default, (iv) the CorTS affected by the Payment Default, and (v) any other information which the Trustee may deem appropriate.  No amount will be distributed to the Trustor in respect of the Underlying Securities (other than amounts which may be distributable to the Trustor as a holder of any Certificates).

 

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

 

(e)           All distributions to CorTS Certificateholders shall be allocated pro rata among the CorTS based on their respective principal balances as of the Record Date.  All distributions to I/O Certificateholders shall be allocated pro rata among the I/O Certificates based on their respective Notional Amounts as of the Record Date.

 

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

(g)           Upon receipt by the Trustee of a notice that all or a portion of the Underlying Securities are to be redeemed, whether as a result of a redemption by the Underlying Issuer, an acceleration following default or otherwise, at a price equal to the principal amount of the Underlying Securities plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, the Trustee shall select by lot for redemption a principal amount of CorTS and reduce the Notional Amount of the I/O Certificates equal to the principal amount of the Underlying Securities to be redeemed on the Underlying Securities Redemption Distribution Date.  The Trustee shall promptly give notice of such redemption to the Warrantholders.  Notice of such redemption shall also be given by the Trustee to the registered Certificateholders not less than ten (10) days prior to the Underlying Securities Redemption Distribution Date by mail to each registered Certificateholder at such registered Certificateholder’s last address on the register maintained by the Trustee and to the Rating Agency as provided in Section 18(b); provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to give any notice of redemption prior to the third Business Day after the date it receives notice of such redemption.

 

Upon the occurrence of a redemption (including a prepayment as a result of an acceleration as described in the preceding paragraph) of the Underlying Securities by the Underlying Issuer, redemption proceeds (to the extent of funds available) will be allocated in the following order of priority:  (i) CorTS selected by lot for redemption, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Underlying Securities to be redeemed, will be redeemed at a price equal to $25 per CorTS plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; (ii) I/O Certificateholders will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the I/O Certificates on the Notional Amount of the I/O Certificates to be reduced; (iii)  the I/O Certificateholders will receive an amount equal to the I/O Payment Amount; and (iv) Call Warrants proportionate to the amount of Underlying Securities to be redeemed will, if In-the-Money, be deemed to be exercised and will be cash settled for an amount equal to any remaining redemption proceeds after the payments made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above, or, if the Call Warrants are not In-the-Money, such Call Warrants shall expire worthless.

 

All payments to I/O Certificateholders and reductions to the notional amount of I/O Certificates pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be made on a pro rata basis based upon the Notional Amount of I/O Certificates held by an I/O Certificateholder.

 

(h)          [Reserved].

 

(i)           [Reserved].

 

(j)           (A)           If the Trustor determines in good faith that the Trust is no longer permitted under Item 1100(c)(2) of Regulation AB to refer to periodic reports filed by the Underlying Issuer under the Exchange Act (an “SEC Reporting Failure”), including by reason of the Underlying Issuer (x) stating in writing that it intends to cease filing periodic reports required under the Exchange Act or (y) failing to file all required reports for the applicable reporting period, then the Trustor shall cause any remaining Underlying Securities to be liquidated and the Trustee will distribute any proceeds thereof to the Certificateholders.  The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agency of any such liquidation of the Trust.  The distribution of liquidation proceeds will be allocated between the CorTS Certificateholders and the I/O Certificateholders such that the percentage received by the CorTS Certificateholders of the total distribution equals the CorTS Allocation Percentage as of the Record Date for such distribution and the percentage received by the I/O Certificateholders of the total distribution equals the I/O Allocation Percentage as of the Record Date of such distribution. In connection with the occurrence of an SEC Reporting Failure, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee or the Trustor shall notify the Warrantholders promptly after consultation with the Commission as described above.

(B)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Call Warrants will become immediately exercisable upon the occurrence of an SEC Reporting Failure (whether such SEC Reporting Failure occurs before or after [__________]), and, if In-the-Money or At-the-Money, will be deemed to be exercised without further action by the Warrantholders and will be cash–settled concurrently with the distribution to CorTS Certificateholders and I/O Certificateholders.  If the Call Warrants are In-the-Money or At-the-Money and are cash–settled, the allocation between the CorTS and the I/O Certificates described in paragraph (A) above shall not apply, the Underlying Securities will be liquidated as set forth below and the CorTS will receive liquidation proceeds in an amount equal to $25 per CorTS plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the I/O Certificates will receive liquidation proceeds in an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus the I/O Payment Amount and any remaining proceeds will be paid to the Warrantholders.

 

(C)           If an SEC Reporting Failure occurs, the Trustor (on behalf of the Trust) shall cause bids to be solicited for the sale of the Underlying Securities with settlement thereof on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after such sale from three leading dealers in the relevant market and the Warrantholders, and may solicit additional bids from such other parties as the Trustor deems appropriate and shall accept the highest firm bid received in connection with such solicitation.  The Call Warrants will be deemed to be “In-the-Money” if the highest firm bid received with respect to all Underlying Securities owned by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust exceeds (and will be deemed to be “At-the-Money” if such bid equals) the sum of 100% of the principal amount of such Underlying Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus (ii) the I/O Payment Amount, and cash settlement shall be made in an amount equal to such excess, if any (but only if the Underlying Securities are actually sold at a price equal to the amount of such bid).  Any of the following dealers shall be deemed to qualify as leading dealers: (1) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, (2) Goldman, Sachs & Co., (3) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, (4) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., (5) Morgan Stanley & Co., (6) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., (7) Barclays Capital Inc. and (8) Citigroup Global Markets Inc.; provided, however, that no bid from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or any affiliate thereof shall be accepted unless such bid equals the then fair market value of such Underlying Securities.  The Trustor 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 Trustor (or its designee) but the sale has failed to settle on the proposed settlement date, the Trustor shall cause new bids to be requested from such leading dealers as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

(D)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an SEC Reporting Failure occurs on or after [__________], Warrantholders will continue to have the right to exercise the Call Warrants in accordance with Section 8 so long as the Call Warrants are exercised prior to the liquidation of the Underlying Securities.  Any payments to CorTS Certificateholders and I/O Certificateholders in connection with such exercise shall be made as set forth in Section 8.

(k)           The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Series Supplement.  Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, to the extent there remains on deposit monies or property in the Trust after all required payments and distributions have been made in accordance with this Series Supplement (including without limitation Section 8 and this Section 10), such remaining monies or property shall be distributed to the CorTS Certificateholders and the I/O Certificateholders such that the percentage of such remaining monies or property received by the CorTS Certificateholders equals the CorTS Allocation Percentage and the percentage of such proceeds received by the I/O Certificateholders equals the I/O Allocation Percentage as of the date the final CorTS Fixed Payment and I/O Fixed Payment was made.  The Trustee shall in no way be responsible or liable to the Certificateholders nor shall any Certificateholder in any way be responsible or liable to any other Certificateholder in respect of amounts previously distributed on the Certificates based on their respective principal balances or Notional Amount, as the case may be.

 

(l)           On the Closing Date, as partial payment for the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall deliver to, or at the direction of, the Seller, pursuant to the Sale Agreement, all of the Certificates and the Call Warrants.  On [___________], as payment of the balance of the purchase price for the Underlying Securities, as provided in the Sale Agreement, the Trustee shall pay to the Seller from the scheduled interest distributions received on the Underlying Securities on such date, the amount of the interest accrued on the Underlying Securities from [________] to but not including the Closing Date, which amount equals $[________].  In the event such amounts are not received by the Trustee on such date or otherwise are insufficient to pay such amount of accrued interest to the Seller, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall have a claim for the unpaid portion of such amount and shall share pari passu with the Certificateholders to the extent of such claim in the proceeds from the sale or recovery of the Underlying Securities.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

(c)           The parties acknowledge that the Trustee, as the holder of the Underlying Securities, has the right to vote and give consents and waivers in respect of the Underlying Securities and enforce the other rights, if any, of a holder of the Underlying Securities, except as otherwise limited by the Base Trust Agreement or this Series Supplement.  In the event that the Trustee receives a request from the Underlying Securities Trustee, the Underlying Issuer or, if applicable, the Depositary with respect to the Underlying Securities, for the Trustee’s consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of the Underlying Securities, or any document relating thereto, or receives any other solicitation for any action with respect to the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall within two (2) Business Days mail a notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation to each CorTS Certificateholder and I/O Certificateholder of record as of the date of such request. The Trustee shall request instructions from the CorTS Certificateholders as to what action to take in response to such request and shall be protected in taking no action if no direction is received.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative principal balances of the CorTS) as if the CorTS were actually voted or not voted by the Holders thereof as of the date determined by the Trustee prior to the date such vote or consent is required; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Trust Agreement or this Series Supplement, the Trustee shall at no time vote in favor of or consent to any matter (i) which would alter the timing or amount of any payment on the Underlying Securities (including, without limitation, any demand to accelerate the Underlying Securities) or (ii) which would result in the exchange, substitution, or tender of any Underlying Security whether or not pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of such Underlying Security, except in each case with the unanimous consent of the Certificateholders, and subject to the requirement that such vote or consent would not materially increase the likelihood that the Trust will fail to qualify as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes, and, in any event, that the Trust will not fail to qualify as either a grantor trust or partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation) under the Code, such determination to be based solely on an Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee shall not be obligated to follow any instruction that would cause the Trust to violate the terms of any agreement or other obligation to which the Trust is a party, including the Warrant Agent Agreement.  The Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act or to refrain from acting resulting from the Certificateholders’ late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the Certificateholders.  If under clause (ii) of this Section 12(c) and in compliance with the terms of such clause, action is taken which results in the exchange, substitution, or tender of any Underlying Security, the Trustee shall give written notice of such exchange, substitution or tender to the Rating Agency as provided in Section 18 of this Series Supplement.

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Trustee hereby agrees that it shall not receive any additional compensation for the performance of its duties, as warrant agent under the Warrant Agent Agreement.

 

Section 14.   Modification or Amendment.  (a) The Trustee shall not enter into any modification or amendment of the Base Trust Agreement or this Series Supplement unless such modification or amendment is in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Trust Agreement.  Pursuant to Section 5 of this Series Supplement, there may be sold to the Trust additional Underlying Securities from time to time without violation or trigger of this Section 14.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1(a) of the Base Trust Agreement, the Base Trust Agreement or this Series Supplement may not be amended or modified for the purposes contained in items (v) through (viii) in Section 10.1 of the Base Trust Agreement unless the Trustee has received written confirmation from the Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause the Rating Agency to reduce or withdraw the then current rating of the CorTS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(b)           As referenced in Section 10.1(b) of the Base Trust Agreement, the Required Percentage—Amendment required if the Rating Agency Condition is not satisfied with respect to a modification or amendment shall be 100%.

 

Section 15.   Accounting.  Notwithstanding Section 3.16 of the Base Trust Agreement, no such accounting reports shall be required.  Pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Base Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the statements to be prepared and forwarded as provided therein.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 18.   Notices.  (a) All directions, demands and notices hereunder and under the Base Trust Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received if personally delivered or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid or by express delivery service or by certified mail, return receipt requested or delivered in any other manner specified herein, (i) in the case of the Trustor, to Structured Products Corp., 388 Greenwich Street, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10013, Attention: Secretary, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Trustee in writing by the Trustor, and (ii) in the case of the Trustee, to U.S. Bank National Association, 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Corporate Trust, facsimile number ###-###-####, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Trustor in writing by the Trustee.

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

 

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

(e)           The Trustee shall, in connection with any required delivery of any document or notice to the Certificateholders (whether or not such delivery is required pursuant to the Agreement), provide such document or notice to the Warrantholders concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Certificateholders.

 

Section 19.   Access to Certain Documentation.  Access to documentation regarding the Underlying Securities will be afforded without charge to any Certificateholder so requesting pursuant to Section 3.17 of the Base Trust Agreement.  Additionally, the Trustee shall provide at the request of any Certificateholder without charge to such Certificateholder the name and address of each Certificateholder of Certificates hereunder as recorded in the Certificate Register for purposes of contacting the other Certificateholders with respect to their rights hereunder or for the purposes of effecting purchases or sales of the Certificates, subject to the transfer restrictions set forth herein.

 

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

 

Section 21.   Withholding Taxes and Information Reporting Requirements.

 

(a)           The Trustee shall withhold, and remit to the Internal Revenue Service, a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax (or other required amount) on the payments made in respect of the Certificates to non-U.S. Persons who are Certificateholders unless the non-U.S. Person establishes an exemption from such withholding tax satisfactory to the Trustor and the Trustee.  The Trustee shall not have any obligations to comply with the provisions of this Section 21 if the Trustee does not have actual knowledge that Certificates are held by non-U.S. Persons.

 

(b)           The Trustee shall comply with all obligations imposed on it pursuant to the WHFIT Regulations.

 

(c)           Each purchaser, beneficial owner and subsequent transferee of a Certificate or interest therein, by acceptance of a Certificate or an interest in a Certificate, agrees (1) to provide the Trustor and the Trustee (i) any information as is necessary (in the sole determination of the Trustor or the Trustee, as applicable) for the Trustor and the Trustee to determine whether such purchaser, beneficial owner or transferee is a U.S. Person or a United States owned foreign entity (as described in Section 1471(d)(3) of the Code) (a “United States owned foreign entity”) and (ii) any additional information that the Trustor, the Trusee or their agents request in connection with Sections 1471-1474 of the Code and (2) if it is a U.S. Person or a United States owned foreign entity that is a Certificateholder or beneficial owner of Certificates or an interest therein, be required to (x) provide the Trustor and the Trustee with, in the case of any such United States person, its name, address, U.S. taxpayer identification number, or, in the case of any such United States owned foreign entity, the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each of its substantial United States owners as defined in Section 1473(2) of the Code and any other information requested by the Trustor, the Trustee or their agents and (y) update any such information provided in clause (x) promptly upon learning that any such information previously provided has become obsolete or incorrect or is otherwise required.  Each purchaser and subsequent transferee of an interest in a Certificate will be required or deemed to acknowledge that the Trust may provide such information and any other information concerning its investment in the Certificates to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.  Each purchaser and subsequent transferee of an interest in a Certificate will be required or deemed to understand and acknowledge that the Trust has the right, hereunder, to compel any beneficial owner of an interest in a Certificate that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements to sell its interest in such Certificate, or may sell such interest on behalf of such owner.

Section 22.   Ratification of Agreement.  With respect to the Series issued hereby, the Base Trust Agreement, as supplemented by this Series Supplement, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Base Trust Agreement as so supplemented by this Series Supplement shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.  To the extent there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Base Trust Agreement and this Series Supplement, the terms of this Series Supplement shall govern.

 

Section 23.   Counterparts.  This Series Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.  The exchange of copies of this Series Supplement and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Series Supplement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Series Supplement for all purposes.  Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

 

Section 24.   Governing Law.  This Series Supplement and each Certificate issued hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely therein without reference to such State’s principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.  The State of New York is the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction of the Securities Intermediary for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC.

At any time when the Trust is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, upon the request of any I/O Certificateholder, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall promptly furnish to such I/O Certificateholder or to a prospective purchaser of any I/O Certificate designated by such I/O Certificateholder, as the case may be, the information which the Trustor determines to be required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A Information”) in order to permit compliance by such I/O Certificateholder with Rule 144A in connection with the resale of such I/O Certificate by such I/O Certificateholder; provided, however, that the Trust shall not be required to provide audited financial statements more than once a year or to furnish Rule 144A Information in connection with any request made on or after the date that is two years from the later of (i) the date such I/O Certificate (or any predecessor I/O Certificate) was acquired from the Trust or (ii) the date such I/O Certificate (or any predecessor I/O Certificate) was last acquired from an “affiliate” of the Trust within the meaning of Rule 144, in each case as determined by the Trustor.

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