INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
ON APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES
LaSalle Bank National Association
135 S. LaSalle Street, Suite 1625
Chicago, IL 60603
MS Structured Asset Corp.
1585 Broadway
New York, NY 10036
With respect to the "Structured Asset Trust Unit Repackagings 2003-15" (SATURNS
Trust 2003-15) we have performed the procedures listed below, which were agreed
to by LaSalle Bank National Association (the Trustee) and MS Structured Asset
Corp. (the Depositor) solely to assist the Depositor in evaluating the Trustee's
assertions that the administration of the Trust Property of SATURNS Trust
2003-15 (the Trust) was conducted in accordance with the terms of the Trust
Agreement relating thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007. This agreed
-upon procedures engagement was performed in accordance with attestation
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the
specified users of this report, the Trustee and the Depositor. Consequently,
we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described
below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for
any other purpose.
Pursuant to the foregoing, for SATURNS TRUST 2003-15, we:
1. Calculated the semi-annual interest payment on the underlying security
as defined in the prospectus.
2. Verified that interest payments on the underlying security were
received on the scheduled date for payment thereof.
3. Calculated the semi-annual interest distributions and principal
distributions, if any, on the Class A and Class B units.
-2-
4. Verified that distributions on Class A and Class B units were made on
the scheduled dates for distribution thereof.
5. Verified Trust property amounts and balances.
6. Verified that the amounts of any units redeemed, upon receipt of
redemption payments or notices of exercise of warrants, matched amounts
of the relevant redemptions and warrant exercise amounts notified to
the Trustee.
7. Verified that the proceeds of redemptions, exercise of warrants and
liquidation of underlying securities following any underlying security
default were applied within the time and in the manner provided in the
Trust Agreement.
8. Verified that reports on Form 8-K were filed by the Trustee with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on or before the fifteenth day
following each payment date for the Class A and Class B units.
We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an examination, the objective of
which would be the expression of an opinion on the Trustee's assertions.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional
procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been
reported to you.
We are independent public accountants with respect to the Trustee and the Trust,
as defined under the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants.
This report is intended solely for the use of the Depositor and the Trustee and
should not be used by those who have not agreed to the procedures and taken
responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes.
However, this report is a matter of public record as a result of being included
as an exhibit to the annual report on Form 10-K prepared by MS Structured Asset
Corp. and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of SATURNS
Trust 2003-15, and its distribution is not limited.
