Purchase Rights of Certificateholders (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Certificate Buyout Event, each Applicable Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) shall have the right to purchase, for the purchase price set forth in the Class A Trust Agreement, all, but not less than all, of the Class A Certificates upon 15 days’ written notice to the Class A Trustee and each other Applicable Certificateholder, on the third Business Day next following the expiry of such 15-day notice period, provided that (A) if prior to the end of such 15-day period any other Applicable Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) notifies such purchasing Applicable Certificateholder that such other Applicable Certificateholder wants to participate in such purchase, then such other Applicable Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) may join with the purchasing Applicable Certificateholder to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Class A Certificates pro rata based on the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Applicable Trust held by each such Applicable Certificateholder and (B) if prior to the end of such 15-day period any other Applicable Certificateholder fails to notify the purchasing Applicable Certificateholder of such other Applicable Certificateholder’s desire to participate in such a purchase, then such other Applicable Certificateholder shall lose its right to purchase the Class A Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01(a). (b) By acceptance of its Applicable Certificate, each Applicable Certificateholder agrees that at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Certificate Buyout Event: (i) if any Additional Certificates are issued pursuant to any Additional Trust, each Additional Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) shall have the right (which shall not expire upon any purchase of the Class A Certificates pursuant to clause (a) above) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Class A Certificates and the Applicable Certificates upon 15 days’ written notice to the Trustee, the Class A Trustee and each other Additional Certificateholder, on the third Business Day next following the expiry of such 15-day notice period, provided that (A) if prior to the end of such 15-day period any other Additional Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) notifies such purchasing Additional Certificateholder that such other Additional Certificateholder wants to participate in such purchase, then such other Additional Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) may join with the purchasing Additional Certificateholder to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Class A Certificates and the Applicable Certificates pro rata based on the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Additional Trust held by each such Additional Certificateholder and (B) if prior to the end of such 15-day period any other Additional Certificateholder fails to notify the purchasing Additional Certificateholder of such other Additional Certificateholder’s desire to participate in such a purchase, then such other Additional Certificateholder shall lose its right to purchase the Class A Certificates and the Applicable Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(i); and (ii) if any Refinancing Certificates are issued, each Refinancing Certificateholder shall have the same right (subject to the same terms and conditions) to purchase Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) (and to receive notice in connection therewith) as the Certificateholders of the Class that such Refinancing Certificates refinanced. The purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall be equal to the Pool Balance of the Applicable Certificates, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such purchase, without premium (including Make-Whole Amount), but including any other amounts then due and payable to the Applicable Certificateholders under the Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Note Document or on or in respect of the Applicable Certificates; provided, however, that no such purchase of Applicable Certificates shall be effective unless the purchaser(s) shall certify to the Trustee that contemporaneously with such purchase, such purchaser(s) is (are) purchasing, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Other Agreements, all of the Applicable Certificates and the Class A Certificates. Each payment of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or accounts designated by the Trustee and each such purchase shall be subject to the terms of this Section 4.01. Each Applicable Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of its Applicable Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence of a Certificate Buyout Event) it will, upon payment from Additional Certificateholder(s) or Refinancing Certificateholder(s), as the case may be, of the purchase price set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph, (i) forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind except for its own acts), all of the right, title, interest and obligation of such Applicable Certificateholder in the Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facility, the NPA, the Note Documents and all Applicable Certificates and Escrow Receipts held by such Applicable Certificateholder (excluding all right, title and interest under any of the foregoing to the extent such right, title or interest is with respect to an obligation not then due and payable as respects any action or inaction or state of affairs occurring prior to such sale) (and the purchaser shall assume all of such Applicable Certificateholder’s obligations under the Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facility, the NPA, the Note Documents and all such Applicable Certificates and Escrow Receipts), (ii) if such purchase occurs after a record date specified in Section 2.03 of the Escrow Agreement relating to the distribution of unused Deposits and/or accrued and unpaid interest on Deposits and prior to or on the related distribution date thereunder, forthwith turn over to the purchaser(s) of its Applicable Certificate all amounts, if any, received by it on account of such distribution, and (iii) if such purchase occurs after a Record Date relating to any distribution and prior to or on the related Distribution Date, forthwith turn over to the purchaser(s) of its Applicable Certificate all amounts, if any, received by it on account of such distribution. The Applicable Certificates will be deemed to be purchased on the date payment of the purchase price is made notwithstanding the failure of the Applicable Certificateholders to deliver any Applicable Certificates and, upon such a purchase, (I) the only rights of the Applicable Certificateholders will be to deliver the Applicable Certificates to the purchaser(s) and receive the purchase price for such Applicable Certificates and (II) if the purchaser(s) shall so request, such Applicable Certificateholder will comply with all the provisions of Section 3.04 of the Basic Agreement to enable new Applicable Certificates to be issued to the purchaser in such denominations as it shall request. All charges and expenses in connection with the issuance of any such new Applicable Certificates shall be borne by the purchaser thereof.
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES 3.1 No Rights as Warrant Securityholder Conferred by Warrants or Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate or Warrant evidenced thereby shall entitle the holder thereof to any of the rights of a holder of Warrant Securities, including, without limitation, the right to receive the payment of dividends or distributions, if any, on the Warrant Securities or to exercise any voting rights, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Warrant Certificate.
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 (iii) above, the prospective transferee and the prospective transferor shall be required to deliver to the Trustee an executed copy of an Investment Letter with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates to be transferred substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and in the event the resale, assignment or transfer shall involve Class A-2 Certificates then being held in physical form, such A-2 Certificates shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Trustee shall instruct the Depository to increase the aggregate notional amount of the Class A-2 Certificates held in book-entry form by an amount equal to the aggregate notional amount of Class A-2 Certificates so resold, assigned or transferred and to issue a beneficial interest in such global Class A-2 Certificates to such transferee. 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."
Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During Event of Default During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Interest represented by all Certificates may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Master Servicer from its rights and duties as servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby and, provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the nonassenting Certificateholders.
