Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Banc of America Commercial Mortgage Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), intends to issue its Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2008-1 (the "Certificates"), in 28 classes (each, a
"Class") as designated in the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below). Pursuant
to this underwriting agreement (the "Agreement"), the Company further proposes
to sell to Banc of America Securities LLC ("BAS"), Barclays Capital Inc.
("Barclays"), and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citigroup") (each of BAS,
Barclays, and Citigroup individually an "Underwriter" and collectively, the
"Underwriters"), severally and not jointly, the Certificates set forth in
Schedule I hereto (the "Underwritten Certificates") in the respective original
principal or notional amounts, as applicable, set forth in Schedule I. The
Certificates represent in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership interest
in a trust (the "Trust Fund") consisting of a segregated pool (the "Mortgage
Pool") of 108 mortgage loans having an approximate aggregate principal balance
of $1,269,690,801 as of the applicable Cut-off Date specified in Schedule I
hereto (collectively, the "Mortgage Loans") secured by first liens on the
borrowers' fee or leasehold interests in commercial, multifamily and
manufactured housing properties (the "Mortgaged Properties"). The Certificates
will be issued on June 27, 2008 (the "Closing Date") pursuant to a pooling and
servicing agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of June 1,
2008, among the Company, Bank of America, National Association, as master
servicer (the "Master Servicer"), CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special
servicer (the "Special Servicer"), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the
"Trustee"), and LaSalle Bank National Association, as certificate administrator
(in such capacity, the "Certificate Administrator") and REMIC administrator (in
such capacity the "REMIC Administrator"). The Mortgage Loans will be acquired by
the Company from (i) Bank of America, National Association ("Bank of America")
pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, dated as of June 1,
2008 (the "Bank of America Purchase Agreement"), between Bank of America and the
Company, and (ii) Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc.. ("BCRE" and together with
Bank of America the "Mortgage Loan Sellers") pursuant to a mortgage loan
purchase and sale agreement, dated as of June 1, 2008, between BCRE and the
Company (the "BCRE Purchase Agreement" and, collectively with the Bank of
America Purchase Agreement, the "Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements"). This
Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Transaction
Agreements." Two separate real estate mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC")
elections will be made with respect to the Trust Fund for federal income tax
purposes. The Underwritten Certificates and the Mortgage Pool are described more
fully in Schedule I hereto and in a registration statement furnished to you by
the Company.
At or prior to the time when sales to investors of the Underwritten
Certificates were first made, on or before approximately 12:45 p.m. on June 19,
2008 (the "Time of Sale"), the Company had prepared the following information
(collectively, the "Time of Sale Information"): (i) the Company's Free Writing
Prospectus dated June 16, 2008 (the cover page of which is attached hereto as
Annex A) to the Base Prospectus (defined below) and the Base Prospectus
(collectively with such Free Writing Prospectus, the "Transaction FWP"), (ii) a
Term Sheet dated as of June 2008 (the "Term Sheet"), (iii) the information
attached hereto on Schedule III and (iv) each "free writing prospectus" (as
defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (a "Free Writing
Prospectus"). If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Company and the
Underwriters determine that such information included an untrue statement of
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading and have terminated their old purchase contracts and entered into
new purchase contracts with purchasers of the Underwritten Certificates, then
"Time of Sale Information" will refer to the information conveyed to purchasers
at the time of entry into the first such new purchase contract, including any
information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions ("Corrective
Information").
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on
behalf of any Underwriter specifically for use in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus or the Transaction FWP (such information being

Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each of this
Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of
the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,

Underwritten Certificates, the execution and delivery by the Company of
this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements or the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the consummation by the Company of any of the

to therein or so filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto.
(l) No authorization, approval or consent of any court or
governmental authority or agency is necessary in connection with the
offering or sale of the Underwritten Certificates pursuant to this
Agreement, except such as have been, or as of the Closing Date will have
been, obtained or such as may otherwise be required under applicable state
securities laws in connection with the purchase and offer and sale of the
Underwritten Certificates by the Underwriters, and any recordation of the
respective assignments of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that have not yet been completed.
(m) The Company possesses all material licenses, certificates,
authorities or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign
regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now
operated by it, and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any such license,
certificate, authority or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the
subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially
and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the
earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company.
(n) The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and
sale of the Underwritten Certificates pursuant to this Agreement,
including the determination of the public offering price of the
Underwritten Certificates and any related discounts and commissions, is an
arm's-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand,
and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and the Company is
capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the
terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby
and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has
been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the
Company, or its affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any
other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory
or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to any of
the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently
advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the
Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv)
the several Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in
a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of the Company and that the several Underwriters have no obligation
to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory
relationship; and (v) the Underwriters have not provided any legal,
accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering
contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed
appropriate.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
(whether written or oral) between the Company and the several
Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any claims that the Company may have against the several Underwriters
with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.
(o) Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the delivery and
sale of the Underwritten Certificates (other than such federal, state and
local taxes as may be payable on the income or gain recognized therefrom)
have been or will be paid at or prior to the Closing Date.
(p) Neither the Company nor the Trust Fund is, and neither the sale
of the Underwritten Certificates in the manner contemplated by the
Prospectus, nor the application by the Company of proceeds therefrom, nor
the activities of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement will cause the Company or the Trust Fund to be, an "investment
company" or under the control of an "investment company" as such terms are
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment
Company Act").
(q) Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and for
federal income tax purposes, the Company reported the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans to the Trustee in exchange for the Certificates and will
report the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters
pursuant to this Agreement as a sale of the interests in the Mortgage
Loans evidenced by the Underwritten Certificates. The consideration
received by the Company upon the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to
the Underwriters will constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair
consideration for the Underwritten Certificates. The Company will be
solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be rendered insolvent
by, the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters. In
addition, the Company was solvent at all relevant times prior to, and was
not rendered insolvent by, the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Company is not selling the
Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters and did not transfer the
Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund with any intent
to hinder, delay or defraud any of the creditors of the Company.
(r) At the Closing Date, the respective classes of Underwritten
Certificates shall continue to have maintained ratings no lower than those
set forth in Schedule I hereto assigned by the nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations identified in Schedule I hereto
(individually, the "Rating Agency" and collectively, the "Rating
Agencies") and such ratings shall have not been placed on a negative
ratings watch or otherwise qualified.
(s) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee, the Company will have good title to, and will be the sole owner
of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, mortgage, lien,
security interest or other encumbrance of any other person, except for any
retained servicing.
(t) On the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loans will have been duly and
validly assigned and delivered by the Company to the Trustee.
(u) The Transaction FWP and the Prospectus Supplement shall have
been filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 and Rule 424
respectively, under the 1933 Act.
(v) At the Closing Date, each of the representations and warranties
of the Company set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and of
each Mortgage Loan Seller in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
will be true and correct in all material respects.
(w) The Company is not, and on the date on which the first bona fide
offer of the Offered Certificates is made will not be, an "ineligible
issuer", as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act.

each Underwriter, that:
(a) Bank of America is a national banking association validly
existing under the laws of the United States of America and possesses all
requisite authority, power, licenses, permits and franchises to carry on
its business as currently conducted by it and to execute, deliver and

conducting its business so as to comply in all material aspects with all
applicable statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of the
jurisdictions in which it is conducting business.

and delivered by Bank of America and, assuming due authorization,

as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights in general, as they may be applied in the context of the
insolvency of a national banking association, and by general equity
principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law), and by public policy considerations
underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy
considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of this
Agreement which purport to provide indemnification from liabilities under
applicable securities laws.
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Bank of America
and Bank of America's performance and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement will not (A) violate Bank of America's amended and restated
articles of association or by-laws, (B) violate any law or regulation or
any administrative decree or order to which it is subject or (C)
constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
contract, agreement or other instrument to which Bank of America is a
party or by which Bank of America is bound.
(d) Bank of America is not in default with respect to any order or
decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal,
state, municipal or other governmental agency or body, which default might

have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its
performance hereunder.
(e) Bank of America is not a party to or bound by any agreement or
instrument or subject to any articles of association, bylaws or any other
corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree,
law or regulation that would materially and adversely affect the ability
of Bank of America to perform its obligations under this Agreement or that
requires the consent of any third person in order to execute this
Agreement or to enable the performance by Bank of America of its
obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent such consent has
been obtained).
(f) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by Bank of America of, or compliance by Bank of America with,
this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement except such as have previously been, or as of the Closing
Date will have been, obtained.
(g) Bank of America acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase
and sale of the Underwritten Certificates pursuant to this Agreement,
including the determination of the public offering price of the
Underwritten Certificates and any related discounts and commissions, is an
arm's-length commercial transaction between Bank of America, on the one
hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and Bank of America
is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the
terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby
and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has
been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of
Bank of America, or its affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees
or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an
advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of Bank of America with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process
leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or
is currently advising Bank of America on other matters) or any other
obligation to Bank of America except the obligations expressly set forth
in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective
affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve
interests that differ from those of Bank of America and that the several
Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by
virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) the Underwriters
have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with
respect to the offering contemplated hereby and Bank of America has
consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the
extent it deemed appropriate.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
(whether written or oral) between Bank of America and the several
Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Bank of America hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any claims that Bank of America may have against the

(i) No litigation is pending or, to the best of Bank of America's
knowledge, threatened against Bank of America that would either (i) assert
the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) prohibit Bank of America's entering
into this Agreement or (iii) materially and adversely affect the
performance by Bank of America of its obligations under this Agreement.
(j) Each representation and warranty of the Company set forth in
Section 1(i) hereof is true and correct as of the date hereof or as of the

(iii) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company,

(a) As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, (A) such
Underwriter has complied in all material respects with all of its
obligations under Section 4 hereof and (B) with respect to all Free

Such opinions may express their reliance as to factual matters on
the representations and warranties made by, and on certificates or other
documents furnished by officers and/or authorized representatives of, the
parties to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and on certificates furnished by public officials. Such
opinion may assume the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
instruments and documents referred to therein by the parties thereto. Such
opinion may be qualified as an opinion only on the laws of the State of New York
and the federal law of the United States.
In one or more separate letters addressed only to the Underwriters,
special counsel to the Company, Cadwalader, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, shall
additionally state that, based on conferences and telephone conversations with
representatives of Bank of America, the Underwriters, the Company, the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the REMIC Administrator, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and their respective counsel, and (with limited exception)
without having reviewed any of the mortgage notes, mortgages or other documents
relating to the Mortgage Loans or made any inquiry of any originator of any
Mortgage Loan, nothing has come to such special counsel's attention that would
lead it to believe that (i) the Prospectus (other than any accounting, financial
or statistical information included therein or information relating to the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee contained in or omitted
from the Prospectus), included or includes an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, at the date of the Prospectus Supplement or at the Closing
Date, (ii) the Registration Statement (other than with respect to any exhibits
filed therewith or any information incorporated by reference), at its effective
date, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading or (iii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus at
its effective date, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein not misleading.

(8) To the best of such counsel's knowledge, there is no
action, suit or proceeding against, or investigation of, either of

Company or Bank of America of its obligations under, or the validity
or enforceability of, the Transaction Agreements to which it is a
party or, with respect to the Company, the Underwritten
Certificates.

7. Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses. If the sale of the

Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof,
other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company and
Bank of America will reimburse the Underwriters severally, upon demand, for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel)
that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase
and sale of the Underwritten Certificates.
8. Indemnification.
(a) The Company and Bank of America, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and
Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of (1) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission
therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Base Prospectus, or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
(including, without limitation, (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or any Issuer Information contained in any Underwriter Free
Writing Prospectus or in any Free Writing Prospectus which is required to
be filed pursuant to Section 4, or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (when read
in conjunction with the other Time of Sale Information), in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which was not
corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company
to any Underwriter within a reasonable period of time prior to the Time of
Sale or (3) any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission resulting from the Company's manipulation or
aggregation of data contained in the Mortgage Loan Specific Information,
to the extent that indemnification therefor is not provided by Bank of
America under the Bank of America Indemnification Agreement (as defined
below); or BCRE under the BCRE Indemnification Agreement (as defined
below); provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not inure to the
benefit of any Underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling
such Underwriter) from whom the person asserting claims giving rise to any
such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities purchased
Underwritten Certificates if such untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission made in any Transaction FWP or Prospectus is
eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus or a corrected and amended
Prospectus, as applicable, and, if required by law, a copy of the
Prospectus shall not have been made available to such person at or prior
to the written confirmation of the sale of such Certificates to such
person. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, this indemnity agreement
shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the
extent any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
omission with respect to the Mortgage Loan Specific Information, as such
term is defined in the indemnification agreement, dated the date hereof,
among Bank of America, the Company and the Underwriters (the "Bank of
America Indemnification Agreement") and the indemnification agreement,
dated the date hereof, among BCRE, the Company and the Underwriters (the
"BCRE Indemnification Agreement") other than with respect to the Company's
manipulation or aggregation of data (or failure to manipulate or aggregate
such data) contained in the Mortgage Loan Specific Information as provided
above in this Section 8(a)(i);
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim
whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with
the written consent of the Company; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including
the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such Underwriter),
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency
or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any
such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or
(ii) above; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not
apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent
arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information (as specified in Section 8(b) below) furnished to the Company
by any Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or in the Base Prospectus, any Transaction FWP or the
Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto).
This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company or
Bank of America may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed
the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act,
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the
indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only
with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or
omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in
the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Underwriter expressly for use in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Base Prospectus or
the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto);
provided, that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold
harmless (i) to the extent that the Company is entitled to indemnification or
contribution therefore under the indemnity of the Mortgage Loan Sellers set
forth in the Indemnification Agreements, (ii) with respect to information that
is also contained in the Time of Sale Information or (iii) to the extent such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities are cause by a misstatement or omission
resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information to any Underwriter
which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the
Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to the Underwriters within a reasonable
period of time prior to the Time of Sale. In addition, each Underwriter,
severally but not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15
of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all losses,
liabilities, claims and damages as incurred arising out of any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission
of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in any
Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (when read in conjunction with the Time of
Sale Information not misleading); provided that no such material misstatement or
omission arises from or is based upon an error or omission in information
relating to the underlying data regarding the Mortgage Loans or the related
Mortgagors or Mortgaged Properties; and provided, further, that any such
Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus was prepared by such Underwriter and
distributed by such Underwriter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity in
the immediately preceding sentence will apply only if such misstatement or
omission was not also a misstatement or omission in the Prospectus. It is hereby
acknowledged that (i) the statements set forth in the first and second sentences
of the last paragraph on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement, (ii) the
statements in the paragraph immediately following the table setting forth the
allocations to the Underwriters (the "Allocation Table"), the third immediately
succeeding paragraph following the Allocation Table, and the first sentence of
the penultimate paragraph under the caption "METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION" in the
Prospectus Supplement and (iii) any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on
behalf of the Underwriters, excluding any Issuer Information therein, (an
"Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus"), constitute the only written information
furnished to the Company by such Underwriter expressly for use in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Base Prospectus or
the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto).
(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to
so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8
(except to the extent such failure has materially prejudiced the indemnifying
party) or from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this
indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in
the defense of any such action and, to the extent that it may elect by written
notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from the indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. In any such proceeding, any
indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party
unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to
the retention of such counsel, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have
assumed the defense of such action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified
party, within a reasonable period following the indemnifying party's receiving
notice of such action, or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In
no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for fees and expenses
of more than one counsel (or, in the event the Company is the indemnifying
party, one counsel for each Underwriter) (in addition to any local counsel)
separate from its or their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection
with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.
Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding, an indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) but, if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If an indemnifying
party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such
proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement
provides for the unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection
with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the
indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement,
which release does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party,
without the consent of the indemnified party. If at any time an indemnified
party shall have provided notice requesting an indemnifying party to reimburse
the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel for which the
indemnifying party is obligated under this subsection, the indemnifying party
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30
days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii)
such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 8 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters,
any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the
Company or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Underwritten Certificates.
(e) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, will indemnify and
hold harmless any other Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such
Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
(collectively, the "Non-Indemnifying Underwriter") from and against any and all
loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred that arise
out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement of material fact necessary to
make the statements contained in any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by, or on
behalf of, or used or referred to by, such indemnifying Underwriter not
misleading at the Time of Sale or (ii) the failure of such Indemnifying
Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of
Section 4, and agrees to reimburse such Non-Indemnifying Underwriter, as
incurred for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have. If the foregoing indemnity
agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable although applicable in
accordance with its terms, or if such indemnification is insufficient in respect
of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein,
each Underwriter agrees to pay upon request, as contribution, its proportionate
share, based upon a percentage the numerator of which is the amount of fees
actually received by such Underwriter in connection with the sale of the
Underwritten Certificates, and the denominator of which is the sum of the
aggregate amount of fees actually received by the Underwriters, of any losses,
claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, under the 1933 Act
or otherwise, paid or incurred by any Underwriter (including amounts paid by an
Underwriter as contribution) of the nature contemplated by said indemnity; and
each Underwriter shall pay such proportionate share of any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Underwriter shall not be required to
contribute or pay any amount in excess of the fees actually received by it. In
determining the amount of any Underwriter's obligation under this Section 8(e),
appropriate adjustment may be made to reflect any amounts received by any one or
more Underwriters, pursuant to Section 8(a) or 9 of this Agreement or otherwise,
in respect of the claim upon which such obligation is based. In respect of any
claim there shall be credited against the amount of any Underwriter's obligation
under this Section 8(e) any loss, damage, liability or expense which is paid or
incurred by such Underwriter as a result of such claim being asserted against
it, and, if such loss, damage, liability or expense is paid or incurred by such
Underwriter subsequent to any payment by it pursuant to this Section 8(e),
appropriate provision shall be made to effect such credit, by refund or
otherwise. In determining amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8(e), any
loss, claim, damage, liability or expense paid or incurred, and any amount
received, by any person controlling any Underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act which has been paid or incurred or received by reason
of such control relationship shall be deemed to have been paid or incurred or
received by such Underwriter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution or
indemnification under this Section 8 from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.
9. Contribution.
(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 8 hereof
is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although
applicable in accordance with its terms, or if such indemnification provided for
in Section 8 hereof is insufficient in respect of any losses, liabilities,
claims or damages referred to therein, the Company and Bank of America on the
one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall contribute to the aggregate
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by
said indemnity incurred by the Company and the Underwriters, as incurred, (i) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
the Company and Bank of America on the one hand and each Underwriter on the
other from the offering of the Underwritten Certificates or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and
Bank of America on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations (taking into account the parties' relative knowledge and access
to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was
asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission or
failure to comply, and any other equitable consideration appropriate under the
circumstances). The relative benefits received by the Company and Bank of
America on the one hand and any Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be
in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the issuance and sale of the
Underwritten Certificates under this Agreement (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts, commissions
and other fees received by such Underwriter. The relative fault of the Company
and Bank of America on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, Bank of America
or by the Underwriters, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;
provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and
provided, further, that in no event shall any Underwriter be obligated to
contribute more than its share of underwriting discounts, commissions and other
fees pertaining to the Underwritten Certificates less any damages otherwise paid
by such Underwriter with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense. It is hereby acknowledged that the respective Underwriters' obligations
under this Section 9 shall be several and not joint. For purposes of this
Section, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and such Underwriter's
directors, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and
each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the considerations referred to in
subsection (a) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, liabilities, claims or damages referred to in Section 8 or
this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal fees and disbursements or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim except where the indemnified party is
required to bear such expenses, which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay
as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party. In the event that
any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to
not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which
received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party
which made such payment. The remedies provided for in Section 8 and this Section
9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may
otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(c) The contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters,
any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the
Company or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Underwritten Certificates.
10. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall
fail to purchase and pay for any of the Underwritten Certificates agreed to be
purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to
purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their
obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated
severally (in the respective proportions which the portion of the Underwritten
Certificates set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the
aggregate amount of Underwritten Certificates set forth opposite the names of
all the remaining Underwriters) to purchase the Underwritten Certificates that
the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase;
provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated under this Section 10 to
purchase Certificates of a Class that it is not otherwise obligated to purchase
under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the amount of
Underwritten Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of
Underwritten Certificates set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining
Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any
obligation to purchase any, of the Underwritten Certificates, and if such
nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all of the Underwritten Certificates,
this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter
or the Company, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12. In the event of
a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date
for the Underwritten Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not
exceeding ten business days, as you shall determine in order that the required
changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement or in any
other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to
the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its
default hereunder.
11. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or
contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto,
shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the
Company, or by or on behalf of any of the controlling persons and officers and
directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9, and shall survive delivery of the
Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters.
12. Termination of Agreement; Survival.
(a) The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the
Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date (i) if there has been,
since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which
information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any
material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the
earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company or of Bank of
America whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if
there has occurred any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other
calamity or crisis or any change in the financial markets the effect of which is
such as to make it, in the judgment of any Underwriter, impracticable or
inadvisable to market the Underwritten Certificates or to enforce contracts for
the sale of the Underwritten Certificates, or (iii) if trading in any securities
of the Company or of Bank of America has been suspended or limited by the
Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the
American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or on the Nasdaq National
Market or the over-the-counter market has been suspended or limited or subject
to a material disruption, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been
fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges
or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a
banking moratorium has been declared by either federal or New York authorities
or any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or
clearance services in the United States has occurred.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except
as provided in Section 11 or Section 12(c).
(c) The provisions of Section 5(e) regarding the payment of costs
and expenses and the provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
13. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be
