Distribution of Additional Shares, Rights, etc If the Company or any affiliate of the Company determines to make any issuance or distribution of (1) additional Shares, (2) rights to subscribe for Shares, (3) securities convertible into Shares, or (4) rights to subscribe for such securities (each a “Distribution”), the Company shall notify the Depositary in writing in English as promptly as practicable and in any event before the Distribution starts and, if requested in writing by the Depositary, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Depositary a written opinion from U.S. counsel for the Company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, stating whether or not the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933. If, in the opinion of that counsel, the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933, that counsel shall furnish to the Depositary a written opinion as to whether or not there is a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 in effect that will cover that Distribution. The Company agrees with the Depositary that neither the Company nor any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company will at any time deposit any Shares, either originally issued or previously issued and reacquired by the Company or any such affiliate, unless a Registration Statement is in effect as to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Company delivers to the Depositary an opinion of United States counsel, satisfactory to the Depositary, to the effect that, upon deposit, those Shares will be eligible for public resale in the United States without further registration under the Securities Act of 1933.
Certificate Distribution Account The Certificate Distribution Account shall be established as a non-interest bearing trust account pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account shall be held uninvested. The Certificateholders shall possess all beneficial right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Indenture or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Certificate Paying Agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, shall, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period) after becoming aware of the fact, establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Account and shall direct the Certificate Paying Agent to transfer any cash then on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account.
Designation of Trust and Certificates The Trust created hereby shall be known as the "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, AT&T Note-Backed Series 2003-18 Trust." The Certificates evidencing certain undivided ownership interests therein shall be known as "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, AT&T Note-Backed Series 2003-18." The Certificates shall consist of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates (together, the "Certificates"). The Trust is also issuing call warrants with respect to the Certificates ("Call Warrants"). (a) The Class A-1 Certificates shall be held through the Depository in book-entry form and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. The Class A-2 Certificates shall initially be held through the Depository in book-entry form and, as set forth in Section 3(e) below, shall be held subsequent to the Closing Date in physical form or through the Depository in book-entry form and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2. The Class A-1 Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $25. The Class A-2 Certificates shall be issued in minimum notional denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof; provided, however, that on any Call Date on which a Warrant Holder shall concurrently exchange Called Certificates for a distribution of Underlying Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof, Called Certificates may be issued in other denominations. Except as provided in the Standard Terms and in paragraph (d) in this Section, the Trust shall not issue additional Certificates or additional Call Warrants or incur any indebtedness. (b) The Class A-1 Certificates shall consist initially of 1,600,000 Certificates having an initial aggregate certificate principal balance (the "Certificate Principal Balance") of $40,000,000. The Class A-2 Certificates are interest-only Certificates and shall have an initial aggregate notional amount equal to the initial Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates. (c) 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 the applicable Class A-1 Rate on the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates. The holders of the Class A-2 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 1.625% per annum (the "Class A-2 Rate") on the outstanding notional amount of the Class A-2 Certificates, which notional amount shall be equal to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates. On the Distribution Date occurring in May 2004, the Trustee shall cause the Trust to pay to the Depositor the amount of interest accrued and paid on the Underlying Securities from November 15, 2003, to but not including the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event an Optional Exchange Date shall occur prior to the Distribution Date in May 2004, a pro rata portion of such amount shall be paid to the Depositor on the Optional Exchange Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b)(ix) hereof. If the Depositor is not paid any such amount on such date, it shall have a claim for such amount. If Available Funds are insufficient to pay such amount, the Trustee will pay the Depositor 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 from the recovery on the Underlying Securities. (d) The Depositor may sell to the Trustee additional Underlying Securities on any date hereafter upon at least 3 Business Days' notice to the Trustee (or such shorter period as shall be mutually satisfactory to the Depositor and 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 cause the Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Each condition to be satisfied with respect to a sale of Underlying Securities on or prior to the Closing Date shall be satisfied with respect to a sale of additional Underlying Securities no later than the date of sale thereof, each representation and warranty set forth in the Standard Terms to be made on the Closing Date shall be made on such date of sale, and from and after such date of sale, all Underlying Securities held by the Trustee shall be held on the same terms and conditions. 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 in a Certificate Principal Balance, and Class A-2 Certificates in a notional amount, equal to the principal amount of such additional Underlying Securities, and Call Warrants related thereto. 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 corresponding classes of Certificates previously issued in accordance with this Series Supplement. (e) No Class A-2 Certificate may be offered, resold, assigned or otherwise transferred (including by pledge or hypothecation) at any time prior to (x) the date which is two years, or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, after the later of the original issue date of such Class A-2 Certificates and the last date on which the Depositor or any "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Depositor was the owner of such Class A-2 Certificates (or any predecessor thereto) or (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by a change in applicable securities laws (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date") unless such offer, resale, assignment or transfer is (i) to the Trust, (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (iii) to a qualified institutional buyer (a "QIB"), as such term is defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), in accordance with Rule 144A or (iv) pursuant to another available exemption from registration provided under the Securities Act (including transfers to Accredited Investors), and, in each of cases (i) through (iv), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and other jurisdictions.

Prior to any offer, resale, assignment or transfer of any Class A-2 Certificates in the manner described in clause (iv) above, the prospective transferee and the prospective transferor shall be required to deliver to the Trustee documentation certifying that the offer, resale, assignment or transfer complies with the provisions of said clause (iv) and, in the event any such Class A-2 Certificate shall then be held in book-entry form and such resale, assignment or transfer shall be to an Accredited Investor that is not a QIB, the Trustee shall instruct the Depository to decrease the aggregate notional amount of the Class A-2 Certificates held in book-entry form and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Class A-2 Certificates in physical form in an aggregate notional amount equal to the amount of Class A-2 Certificates resold, assigned or transferred. In addition to the foregoing, each prospective transferee of any Class A-2 Certificates in the manner contemplated by clause (iii) above shall acknowledge, represent and agree as follows: (1) The transferee (x) is a QIB, (y) is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and (z) is acquiring such Class A-2 Certificates for its own account or for the account of a QIB. (2) The transferee understands that the Class A-2 Certificates are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, and that the Class A-2 Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act. (3) The transferee agrees that (A) if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Class A-2 Certificates prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, such Class A-2 Certificates shall only be offered, resold, assigned or otherwise transferred (i) to the Trust, (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (iii) to a QIB, in accordance with Rule 144A or (iv) pursuant to another available exemption from registration provided under the Securities Act (including any transfer to an Accredited Investor), and, in each of cases (i) through (iv), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and other jurisdictions and (B) the transferee will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any subsequent purchaser of such Class A-2 Certificates from it of the resale restrictions referred to in clause (A) above. (f) The Class A-2 Certificates will, unless otherwise agreed by the Depositor and the Trustee, bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "THIS CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) 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. THE CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE SERIES SUPPLEMENT. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER."
