Ladies and Gentlemen:
Xxxxx Asset Securitization, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
confirms its agreement to sell to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the "Lead
Underwriter"), Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. (the "Co-Underwriter")
(collectively, the "Underwriters"), all of Luminent Mortgage Trust 2007-2 (the
"Trust"), Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-2, Class I-A-1, Class I-A-2,
Class I-A-3, Class I-A-4, Class I-A-5, Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2, Class I-B-3,

II-B-2, Class II-B-3, Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5, Class II-B-6 and Class II-B-7
(collectively, the "Underwritten Securities"), and the purchase by the
Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of their respective percentage
of the Certificate Principal Balances of each class of the Underwritten
Securities set forth below their names in Schedule I hereto. The Underwritten
Securities, together with the Class I-C-1, Class I-C-2, Class I-P, Class II-C,
Class II-P, Class R and Class RX Certificates (collectively with the
Underwritten Securities, the "Certificates") not sold to the Underwriters, will
evidence the entire beneficial interest in a pool of adjustable rate one- to
four-family residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") as described in
the Prospectus Supplement (as hereinafter defined) acquired by the Company from
Maia Mortgage Finance Statutory Trust, a Maryland business trust (the "Seller").
The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling Agreement dated as of
April 1, 2007 (the "Pooling Agreement"), among the Company, the Seller, Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and securities
administrator (the "Securities Administrator"), and HSBC Bank USA, National
Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Mortgage Loans will be serviced by
a number of servicers pursuant to various servicing agreements (the "Servicing
Agreements") assigned to the Trust. Custody of the Mortgage Loans will be
pursuant to a custodial agreement (the "Custodial Agreement") dated as of April
1, 2007 by and between the Trustee and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as custodian. The
Supplemental Interest Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and the Class I
Certificateholders, will also enter a cap agreement ("Cap Agreement") and swap
agreement ("Swap Agreement") with ABN AMRO Bank, N.A., as the counterparty (the
"Cap Provider or Swap Provider," as applicable), each dated as of May 1, 2007.
At or prior to the time when sales to investors of the Certificates were
first made (the "Time of Sale"), the Company had prepared a term sheet, dated
April 18, 2007, with respect to the Class II Certificates (as defined in the
Pooling Agreement) and a term sheet, dated April 24, 2007, with respect to the
Class I Certificates (as defined in the Pooling Agreement), for distribution to
prospective investors (the information contained therein, together with
information regarding the price and interest rate of the Certificates, the "Time
of Sale Information"). If, subsequent to the Time of Sale, the Company or any
Underwriter determines 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 the 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 Certificates, then
"Time of Sale Information" will refer to the information available to purchasers
at the time of entry into the first such new purchase contract, including any
information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions and "Time of
Sale" will refer to the time and date on which such new purchase contracts were
entered into.
This underwriting agreement (the "Agreement"), the Pooling Agreement, the
Custodial Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the Cap Agreement are sometimes
referred to herein collectively as the "Transaction Agreements." The
Underwritten Securities will be issued in minimum denominations and will have
the terms set forth in the Pooling Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in
the Pooling Agreement.
1. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. As of the date hereof (or as
of such other date as may be specified in the relevant representation and
warranty), each of the Company and the Seller represents and warrants to, and
agrees with, each of the Underwriters as follows:
(a) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") a registration statement (No. 333-140604) on Form S-3
for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and Mortgage-Backed Notes
(issuable in series), including the Certificates, a copy of which, as
amended to the date hereof, has heretofore been delivered to the
Underwriters. All conditions for the use of Form S-3 under the Act have
been satisfied. Such registration statement, including the exhibits
thereto, as amended to the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called
the "Registration Statement"; the prospectus first required to be filed to
satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 172(c)(3) and pursuant to Rule
424(b) under the Act is hereinafter called the "Base Prospectus"; and such
supplement to the Base Prospectus, in the form required to be filed to
satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 172(c)(3) and pursuant to Rule
424(b) under the Act, is hereinafter called the "Prospectus Supplement"
and, collectively with the Base Prospectus, the "Prospectus." Any reference
herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus
shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by
reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on or
before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus
or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the
terms "amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration
Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer
2
to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the
date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the
Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference. The Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
Commission under the Act; no order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission and no proceeding
for that purpose has been initiated or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, threatened by the Commission;
(b) When the Prospectus is first filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Act, when, prior to the Closing Date, any amendment to the Registration
Statement becomes effective (including the filing of any document
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), when any
supplement to the Prospectus is filed with the Commission and at the
Closing Date, (i) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such
time, and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time,
will comply in all material respects with the Act and the respective rules
thereunder, (ii) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such
time, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order

the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, under the
caption "Static Pool Information" but deemed to be excluded from the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus pursuant to Item 1105(d) of
Regulation AB issued under the Act (the "Static Pool Information"), will
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the
Seller makes any representations or warranties as to the information
contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company through the
Lead Underwriter specifically for use in connection with the preparation of
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. The parties agree that such
information consists solely of the information about the distribution and
marketing of the Certificates under the caption "Method of Distribution" in
the Prospectus Supplement (the "Underwriting Information");
(c) The Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale did not, and at
the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit 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; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation and
warranty with respect to the Underwriting Information contained in or
omitted from the Time of Sale Information or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto;

standing and has all necessary certificates, licenses and permits in all
jurisdictions in which its ownership of property or the conduct of its
business as presently conducted by it requires such qualification;

satisfying the requirements of Rule 430B under the Act or (iii) constitutes

The Company and each Underwriter each agree that any Free Writing

(l) In the event that the Company becomes aware that, as of the Time
of Sale, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contains any untrue statement

the Company shall notify each Underwriter within one business day after
discovery and the Company shall, if requested by such Underwriter, prepare

conduct of the business and operations of the Company or the Seller
regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured.
If the Lead Underwriter elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in
this Section 7, the Company and the Underwriters shall be notified promptly by
telephone, promptly confirmed by facsimile.
If the sale to the Underwriters of the Underwritten Securities, as
contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any
reason permitted under this Agreement or if such sale is not carried out because
the Company shall be unable to comply in all material respects with any of the
terms of this Agreement, the Company shall not be under any obligation or
liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 5 and
9 hereof) and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the
Company under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9 hereof)
or to one another hereunder.
8. Increase in Underwriters' Commitments.
If any Underwriter shall default at the Closing Date in its obligation to
take up and pay for the Underwritten Securities to be purchased by it under this
Agreement on such date, the Lead Underwriter shall have the right, but not the
obligation, within 36 hours after such default, to make arrangements for one or
more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase
all, but not less than all, of the Underwritten Securities which such
Underwriter shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for (the "Defaulted
Securities"). Absent the completion of such arrangements within such 36-hour
period, (i) if the total number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of
the total number of Underwritten Securities to be purchased on such date, each
non-defaulting Underwriter shall take up and pay for (in addition to the number
of Underwritten Securities which it is otherwise obligated to purchase on such
date pursuant to this Agreement) the portion of the total number of Underwritten
Securities agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter on such date in
the proportion that its underwriting obligations hereunder bears to the
underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters; and (ii) if the
23
total number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the total number of
Underwritten Securities to be purchased on such date, the Lead Underwriter may
terminate this Agreement by notice to the Company, without liability of any
party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5 and 9 hereof
shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations
hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting Underwriters that it will
not sell any Underwritten Securities hereunder on such date unless all of the
Underwritten Securities to be purchased on such date are purchased on such date
by the Underwriters (or by substituted Underwriters selected by the Lead
Underwriter with the approval of the Company or selected by the Company with the
approval of the Lead Underwriter).
If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted for a defaulting
Underwriter in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company or the
non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date
for a period not exceeding seven business days in order that any necessary
changes in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale
Information and other documents may be effected.
The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include
any Underwriter substituted under this Section 8 with the same effect as if such
substituted Underwriter had originally been named in this Agreement.
9. Indemnity and Contribution by the Company and the Underwriters.
(a) The Company and the Seller, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each officer and director of
each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that arise out of or are based
upon any (a) (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration
of the Certificates as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in
the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information or
the Static Pool Information, or in any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, (ii) 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 Free Writing
Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of any Underwriter or in any Free
Writing Prospectus which is required to be filed pursuant to Section 3(f)
or Section 3(h), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact required to make the statements therein, 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 such
Underwriter within a reasonable period of time prior to the Time of Sale,
and (iii) any breach of the representation and warranty in Section 1(s),
and will reimburse each Underwriter and any officer, director or
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
24
such Underwriter or such officer, director or controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action as such expenses are incurred, except insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities are caused by any such untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in reliance
upon and in conformity with any information with respect to which each
Underwriter has agreed to indemnify the Company pursuant to Section 9(b)
hereof.
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who signs the Registration Statement and each person who controls the
Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the
same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 9(a) above from the
Company and the Seller to the Underwriters, but only with reference to any
untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact, or
omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, in the Underwriting Information.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may
be sought pursuant to either Section 9(a) or 9(b) hereof, such person (the
"indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have
to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent such indemnifying
party has been materially prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability it may have to the indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 9, and the indemnifying party, upon
request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party
and any others that the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding
and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
proceeding. 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 mutually agreed to
the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have
employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of
commencement of the 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 any case described in subclauses (i), (ii) or
(iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the fees and disbursements of
counsel for the indemnified party shall be paid by the indemnifying party
as they are incurred. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall
not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings involving the
same general allegations in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm (plus one local counsel, as
necessary) for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated
in writing by the relevant Underwriter, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof and by the Company or the Seller, in the
25
case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof. The
indemnifying party may, at its option, at any time upon written notice to
the indemnified party, assume the defense of any proceeding and may
designate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party in
connection therewith; provided that the counsel so designated would have no
actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such
representation. Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding the
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 agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses
of counsel as contemplated herein, the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent if (y) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days
after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (z)
such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been
a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party, unless such settlement (A) does not include a statement as to, or
admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
such indemnified party and (B) includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter
of such proceeding.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Article 9 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) hereof or is
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or
liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages, expenses or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the related Underwriter on the other from the offering of the
Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (a) 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 on the one hand and the related
Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or
alleged statements or alleged omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on
the one hand and by the related Underwriter on the other shall be in the
same proportions that the purchase price paid by the related Underwriter to
the Company for the Certificates ("Net Proceeds") bears to the excess of
(a) the purchase prices paid by investors to each Underwriter for the
Certificates (the "Public Offering Price") over (b) Net Proceeds. The
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the related
Underwriter on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact
26
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or by the related Underwriter and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by
pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the considerations referred to in Section 9(d) above. The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages, expenses and liabilities referred to in this Section 9 shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim except where the
indemnified party is required to bear such expenses pursuant to Section
9(d), which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred,
at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent such expenses are
required to be paid by such indemnifying party under this Section 9.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total aggregate Public Offering Price of the Certificates underwritten and
distributed to the public by such Underwriter exceeds the related Net
Proceeds. In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party
are subsequently determined not to be required to be borne by the
indemnifying party hereunder, the party that received such payment shall
promptly refund the amount so paid to the party that made such payment. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section 9 and the representations and warranties of the Company and the
Seller set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any
investigation made by the Underwriters or on behalf of the Underwriters or
any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company
and its respective directors or officers or any person controlling the
Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Underwritten
Securities.
(g) Luminent Mortgage Capital, Inc. ("Luminent") agrees with each
Underwriter, for the sole and exclusive benefit of such Underwriter and
each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act and not for the benefit of any assignee
thereof or any other person or persons dealing with such Underwriter, to
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person who controls
an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act against any failure by the Company to perform any of its
obligations under Section 5 and Section 9 of this Agreement. Luminent
agrees that there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of
Luminent hereunder other than written demand to Luminent to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
27
10. Survival.
The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
other statements of the Company, of its officers and directors and of the
several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of any Underwriter or the Company, or any of its partners, officers or directors
or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and
payment for the Underwritten Securities sold hereunder and any termination of
this Agreement.

of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision
of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other

of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable,
there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor
changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
14. Parties at Interest.

of the Underwriters, the Company, and the controlling persons, directors and
officers referred to in Sections 9 and 10 hereof, and their respective
successors, assigns, executors and administrators. No other person, partnership,
association or corporation (including a purchaser, as such purchaser, from any
of the Underwriters) shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this
Agreement.
15. Role of Underwriters.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely
in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty to the Company and
the Seller with respect to the offering of the Underwritten Securities
contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the
28
offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the
Company, the Seller, or any other person. Additionally, no Underwriter is
advising the Company, the Seller, or any other person as to any legal, tax,
investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company
and the Seller shall each consult with its own advisors concerning such matters
and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and
appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall
have no responsibility or liability to the Company or the Seller with respect
thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the Seller, the
transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions
will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on
behalf of the Company or the Seller.
