Series 2006-CIBC16, Classes E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, NR, R and LR (the

secured by commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community
properties, as described in the Prospectus referred to below (the "Mortgage
Loans"), and certain moneys received under each Mortgage Loan after the cut-off
date for such Mortgage Loan, which shall be: (i) the related due date of the
Mortgage Loan in September 2006 or (ii) with respect to those Mortgage Loans
that were originated in August 2006 and have their first due date in October
2006, September 1, 2006. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the
provisions of a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of September 21,
2006 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Depositor, Capmark
Finance Inc. as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), Midland Loan Services,
Inc. as special servicer (the "Special Servicer") and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as
trustee and as paying agent, (respectively, the "Trustee" and the "Paying
Agent").
The Depositor hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters
concerning the purchase and sale of the Offered Certificates, as follows:
1. Registration Statement. The Depositor has prepared and filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Securities Act"), a
registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-130786), as amended, including a
prospectus, relating to the Offered Certificates. The registration statement as
amended at the time when it became effective, or, if a post-effective amendment
is filed with respect thereto, as amended by such post-effective amendment at
the time of its effectiveness, is referred to in this Agreement as the
"Registration Statement". The Depositor also has filed with, or proposes to file
with, the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a prospectus
supplement specifically relating to the Offered Certificates (the "Prospectus
Supplement"). The related prospectus covering the Offered Certificates in the
form first required to be filed to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule
172(c) under the Securities Act is hereinafter referred to as the "Basic
Prospectus", and the Basic Prospectus as supplemented by the Prospectus
Supplement in the form first required to be filed to satisfy the condition set
forth in Rule 172(c) under the Securities Act is hereinafter referred to as the
"Prospectus". Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus (a "Preliminary Prospectus") used in connection with the
offering of the Offered Certificates or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer
to and include any exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference
therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the
effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to "amend,"
"amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include
any documents filed as of the Closing Date (as defined below) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Exchange Act") that are deemed to
be incorporated by reference therein.
At or prior to the time when sales to investors of the Offered
Certificates were first made (the "Time of Sale"), the Depositor had prepared
the following information (collectively, the "Time of Sale Information"): (i) a
free writing prospectus dated September 1, 2006 (the "Preliminary Free Writing
Prospectus"), (ii) a supplemental structural and collateral information free
writing prospectus dated September 1, 2006 (the "Term Sheet") and (iii) each
"free-writing prospectus" (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities
Act) (a "Free Writing Prospectus") listed on Exhibit 1 hereto, if any. If,
subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Depositor and the Underwriters
have determined 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 Offered 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
("Corrective Information").
When used in this Agreement, "Basic Documents" shall mean (i) the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Certificates, (iii) the mortgage loan
purchase agreement, to be dated as of September 21, 2006, between JPMorgan Chase
Bank, National Association (in such capacity, "JPMCB") and the Depositor (the
"JPMCB Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), (iv) the mortgage loan purchase
agreement, to be dated as of September 21, 2006 between CIBC Inc. ("CIBC") and
the Depositor (the "CIBC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement" and, together with
the JPMCB Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the "Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements") and (v) any other contract, agreement or instrument which is or is
to be entered into by the Depositor on the Closing Date or otherwise in
connection with any of the foregoing or this Agreement. JPMCB and CIBC are
collectively referred to herein as the "Sellers". To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to such terms
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the

neither the Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising the Depositor
or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory
matters in any jurisdiction. The Depositor shall 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,

(i) to the Representative, one signed copy of the Registration Statement as
originally filed and each amendment thereto, in each case including all exhibits
and consents filed therewith; and (ii) to each Underwriter (A) a conformed copy
of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto, in
each case including all exhibits and consents filed therewith and (B) during the
Prospectus Delivery Period, as many copies of the Prospectus (including all
amendments and supplements thereto) and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as
the Representative may reasonably request. As used herein, the term "Prospectus
Delivery Period" means such period of time after the first date of the public
offering of the Offered Certificates as in the opinion of counsel for the
Underwriters a prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates is required by
law to be delivered (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the
Securities Act) in connection with sales of the Offered Certificates by any
Underwriter or dealer.
(c) Amendments or Supplements. Before preparing, using, authorizing,
approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and before
filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, the Depositor will furnish to the Representative and counsel for the
Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or
supplement for review and will not prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or
file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such proposed amendment
or supplement to which the Representative reasonably objects.
(d) Notice to the Representative. The Depositor will advise the
Representative promptly, and confirm such advice in writing, (i) when any
amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective;
(ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus
has been filed; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the
receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration
Statement or any other request by the Commission for any additional information;
(iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for that purpose; (v) of the occurrence of any event within the
Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended
or supplemented would include 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 existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a
purchaser, not misleading; and (vi) of the receipt by the Depositor of any
notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Offered
Certificates for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Depositor will use its
reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of
any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such
qualification of the Offered Certificates and, if issued, will obtain as soon as
possible the withdrawal thereof.
(e) Ongoing Compliance of the Prospectus. If, during the Prospectus
Delivery Period: (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result
of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a
purchaser, not misleading; or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the
Prospectus to comply with law, the Depositor will immediately notify the
Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above,
file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as
the Representative may designate, such amendments or supplements to the
Prospectus as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so
amended or supplemented will not, in light of the circumstances existing when
the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the
Prospectus will comply with law.
(f) Blue Sky Compliance. The Depositor will qualify the Offered
Certificates for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as the Representative shall reasonably request and will continue
such qualifications in effect so long as may be required for distribution of the
Offered Certificates; provided that the Depositor shall not be required to (i)
qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in
any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify;
(ii) file any general consent to service of process in such jurisdiction; or
(iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not so
subject.
(g) Earning Statement. The Depositor will make generally available
to its security holders and the Representative as soon as practicable an earning
statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at
least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Depositor
occurring after the "effective date" (as defined in Rule 158) of the
Registration Statement.

outstanding, the Depositor shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to each
Underwriter (i) copies of each certificate, the annual statements of compliance

first class mail as soon as practicable after such statements and reports are
furnished to the Trustee; (ii) copies of each amendment to any of the Basic
Documents; and (iii) copies of all reports or other communications (financial or
other) furnished to holders of the Offered Certificates, and copies of any
reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the Commission, any

(i) Use of Proceeds. The Depositor will apply the net proceeds from
the sale of the Offered Certificates as described in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
(j) Rating Agencies. To the extent, if any, that the ratings
provided with respect to the Offered Certificates by the Rating Agencies (as
defined in Section 6(p)) are conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the
taking of any other action by the Depositor, the Depositor shall use its best
efforts to furnish such documents and take any other such action.
(k) Exchange Act Filings. The Depositor will file or cause to be
filed all documents and certifications required to be filed by the Commission
pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(l) Record Retention. The Depositor will, pursuant to reasonable
procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433
under the Securities Act.

be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the
Offered Certificates, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any
measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, and the
expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any
relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.
Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, hereby further represents and
agrees, with respect to the United Kingdom, that:

Financial Services and Markets Act with respect to anything done by it in
relation to the Offered Certificates in, from or otherwise involving the

indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and
officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act,
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including,
without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with
any suit, action, investigations or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such
fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are
based upon (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or any Preliminary Prospectus, or the attached
diskette to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (2) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Time
of Sale Information or any Issuer Information (as defined in Section 8(b))
contained in any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of an
Underwriter (an "Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus") or contained in any Free
Writing Prospectus which is required to be filed pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii)
or Section 8(h), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
required 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 Depositor or any Seller to an Underwriter at any
time prior to the Time of Sale or (3) any breach of the representation and
warranty in Section 3(v), except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity
with (i) information with respect to which each Underwriter has agreed to
indemnify the Depositor pursuant to Section 7(b), (ii) information with respect
to which each Seller has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters pursuant to the
JPMCB Indemnification Agreement and the CIBC Indemnification Agreement (such
information referred to herein as the "Seller's Information"), (iii) information
with respect to which the Master Servicer has agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters pursuant to the Master Servicer Indemnification Agreement (such
information referred to herein as the "Master Servicer's Information"), (iv)
information with respect to which the Special Servicer has agreed to indemnify
the Underwriters pursuant to the Special Servicer Indemnification Agreement
(such information referred to herein as the "Special Servicer's Information"),
and (v) information with respect to which the Trustee has agreed to indemnify
the Underwriters pursuant to the Trustee's Indemnification Agreement (such
information referred to herein as the "Trustee's Information"); provided, that
with respect to any such untrue statement in or omission from the Time of Sale
Information, the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph (a) shall not
inure to the benefit of any Underwriter to the extent that the sale to the
person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability was an initial resale
by such Underwriter and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of or with
respect to such Underwriter results from the fact that (i) prior to the Time of
Sale, the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and
Trustee, as applicable, shall have notified such Underwriter that the
Preliminary Free Writing Prospectus contains an untrue statement of material
fact or omits to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein in
order to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) such untrue statement
or omission of a material fact was corrected in an amended or supplemented Free
Writing Prospectus and such corrected Free Writing Prospectus was provided to
such Underwriter far enough in advance of the Time of Sale so that such
corrected Free Writing Prospectus was provided to such person prior to the Time
of Sale, (iii) the Underwriter did not send or give such corrected Free Writing
Prospectus to such person at or prior to the Time of Sale of the Offered
Certificates to such person and (iv) such loss, claim, damage or liability would
not have occurred had the Underwriter delivered the corrected Free Writing
Prospectus to such person as provided for in clause (iii) above.
(b) Indemnification of the Depositor. Each Underwriter agrees,
severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, its
directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person,
if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission contained in (i)
any Underwriters' Information in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or any Preliminary Prospectus or (ii) any
Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter
(in the case of an omission or an alleged omission, when read in conjunction
with the Time of Sale Information); provided, that no Underwriter shall be
obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless (x) to the extent that the Depositor
is entitled to indemnification or contribution therefor under the indemnity of
any Seller, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
set forth in the Indemnification Agreements and (y) with respect to information
that is also contained in the Time of Sale Information or (z) to the extent such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission
resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information which was not
corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor, any
Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
to the Underwriter at any time prior to the Time of Sale.
(c) Underwriter Indemnification. Each Underwriter agrees, severally
and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each other Underwriter, its
affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act (the "Non-Indemnifying Underwriter") from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation,
legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or
proceeding or any claim asserted as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint
or several, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
contained in any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by, or on behalf of, or used
or referred to by, such Indemnifying Underwriter or any member of its selling
group, in connection with the Certificates or in any revision or amendment
thereof or supplement thereto (with respect to any omission or alleged omission,
when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information) or (ii) the failure
of such Indemnifying Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply
with any provision of Section 8, 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, except to the extent (1) the Non-Indemnifying Underwriters
are entitled to indemnification or contribution therefor from any Seller, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee set forth in any
Indemnification Agreement or (2) such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are
caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the
Issuer Information which was not corrected by Corrective Information
subsequently supplied by the Depositor, any Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to the Underwriter at any time
prior to the Time of Sale. This agreement will be in addition to any liability
that any Underwriter may otherwise have.
(d) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding
(including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall
be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification
may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, such person (the
"Indemnified Person") shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnification may be sought (the "Indemnifying Person") in writing; provided
that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have under this Section 7 (a), (b) or (c) except to the
extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of
substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this
Section 7 (a), (b) or (c). If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted
against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person
thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying
Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding,
any Indemnified Person 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
Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have
mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within
a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to
those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any
such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying
Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall
not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm
(in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all
such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such
separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers and any
control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by X.X.
Xxxxxx Securities Inc. and any such separate firm for the Depositor, its
directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control
persons of the Depositor shall be designated in writing by the Depositor. The
Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to
indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying
Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as
contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person 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 the Indemnifying
Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have
reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the
date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written
consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could
have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified
Person.
(e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in subsections
(a), (b) or (c) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then
each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Depositor on the one hand and each Underwriter on the
other from the offering of the Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) but also the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and such
Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Depositor on the one hand and each Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to
be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting
expenses) received by the Depositor from the sale of the Offered Certificates
and the total underwriting discounts, fees and commissions received by such
Underwriter in connection therewith bear to the aggregate offering price of the
Offered Certificates. The relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and
each Underwriter 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 Depositor or by such Underwriter and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.
(f) Limitation on Liability. The Depositor and the Underwriters
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
paragraph (e) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a
result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph
(e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in
connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the
Offered Certificates exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective
purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.
(g) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this
Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may
otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

offer and sale of the Offered Certificates.
(d) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Depositor that
each Free Writing Prospectus required to be provided by it to the Depositor
pursuant to Section 8(b), when read together with all other Time of Sale
Information, did not, as of the Time of Sale, and will not as of the Closing
Date, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided however, that
the Underwriter makes no representation to the extent such misstatements or
omissions were the result of any inaccurate Issuer Information, which
information was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by
the Depositor or any Seller to the Underwriter prior to the Time of Sale.
(e) The Depositor agrees to file with the Commission the following:
(i) Any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus;
(ii) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof delivered

television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating communications.
(f) Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to
Section 8(e) by the Depositor shall be filed with the Commission not later than

(i) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to

the Certificates shall be filed by the Depositor with the Commission
within two days of the later of the date such final terms have been
established for all classes of Certificates and the date of first
use;
(ii) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required
to be filed that contains only ABS Informational and Computational
Material shall be filed by the Depositor with the Commission not
later than the later of the due date for filing the final Prospectus
relating to the Offered Certificates pursuant to Rule 424(b) under
the Securities Act or two business days after the first use of such
Free Writing Prospectus;
(iii) Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed
pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii) shall, if no payment has been made or
consideration has been given by or on behalf of the Depositor for
the Free Writing Prospectus or its dissemination, be filed by the
Depositor with the Commission not later than four business days
after the Depositor becomes aware of the publication, radio or
television broadcast or other dissemination of the Free Writing
Prospectus; and
(iv) The Depositor shall not be required to file (A) Issuer
Information contained in any Free Writing Prospectus of an
Underwriter or any other offering participant other than the
Depositor, if such information is included or incorporated by
reference in a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus previously
filed with the Commission that relates to the offering of the
Certificates, or (B) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof
that contains a description of the Certificates or the offering of
the Certificates which does not reflect the final terms thereof.
(g) Each Underwriter shall provide to the Depositor any Free Writing
Prospectus that is used or referred to by it and distributed by or on behalf of

Writing Prospectus and the Depositor shall file such Free Writing Prospectus
with the Commission.
(h) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(g), each Underwriter
shall provide to the Depositor, who shall then file with the Commission, any
Free Writing Prospectus for which the Underwriter or any person acting on its
behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared and
published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Depositor or any
other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or
television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating written communications and
for which no payment was made or consideration given by or on behalf of the
Depositor or any other offering participant, not later than four business days
after the Underwriter becomes aware of the publication, radio or television
broadcast or other dissemination of the Free Writing Prospectus.
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8(e) and 8(g),
neither the Depositor nor the Underwriter shall be required to file any Free
Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions
to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.
(j) The Depositor and the Underwriters each agree that any Free
Writing Prospectuses prepared by it shall contain a legend substantially in the
following form:
The depositor has filed a registration statement (including a
prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this
communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the
prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the
depositor has filed with the SEC for more complete information about
the depositor, the issuing trust and this offering. You may get
these documents for free by visiting XXXXX on the SEC Web site at
xxx.xxx.xxx. Alternatively, the depositor, any underwriter or any
dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the
prospectus if you request it by calling 0-000-000-0000 or emailing
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx at xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx.
(k) (1) In the event that the Depositor becomes aware that, as of
the Time of Sale, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale
Information (such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus a "Defective Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus"), the Depositor shall notify the Underwriters thereof within
one business day after discovery and the Depositor shall, if requested by the
Underwriters, prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a Free Writing Prospectus
that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Defective Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus (such corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a "Corrected
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus") and (2) in the event that any Underwriter
becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Underwriter Free Writing
Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, when
read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information, (such Underwriter Free
Writing Prospectus, a "Defective Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus" and,
together with a Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a "Defective Free
Writing Prospectus"), such Underwriter shall notify the Depositor thereof within
one business day after discovery and shall, if requested by the Depositor:
(A) If the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an
Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, prepare a Free Writing
Prospectus with Corrective Information that corrects the material
misstatement in or omission from the Defective Underwriter Free
Writing Prospectus (such corrected Underwriter Free Writing
Prospectus, a "Corrected Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus" and,
together with the Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a
"Corrected Free Writing Prospectus");
(B) Deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each
purchaser of an Offered Certificate which received the Defective
Free Writing Prospectus prior to entering into a contract of sale
with such purchaser;
(C) Notify such purchaser in a prompt fashion that any prior
contract of sale with such purchaser has been terminated, and of
such purchaser's rights as a result of termination of such
agreement;
(D) Provide such purchaser with an opportunity to enter into a
new contract of sale on the terms described in the Corrected Free
Writing Prospectus; and
(E) Comply with any other requirements for reformation of the
original contract of sale, as described in Section IV.2.c of the
Commission's Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.
(l) Each Underwriter covenants with the Depositor that after the
final Prospectus is available the Underwriter shall not distribute any written
information concerning the Offered Certificates that contains Issuer Information
to a prospective purchaser of Offered Certificates unless such information is
preceded or accompanied by the final Prospectus.
9. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective
upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute
discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Depositor, if after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i)
trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any
of the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) a general
moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal
or New York State authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak
or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity
or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that in the judgment of
the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Offered
Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the
Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
11. Defaulting Underwriter.
(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its
obligation to purchase the Offered Certificates that it has agreed to purchase
hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for
the purchase of such Offered Certificates by other persons satisfactory to the
Depositor on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after
any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not
arrange for the purchase of such Offered Certificates, then the Depositor shall
be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other
persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Offered
Certificates on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to
purchase the Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter, either the
non-defaulting Underwriters or the Depositor may postpone the Closing Date for
up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion
of counsel for the Depositor or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or
arrangement, and the Depositor agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any
such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes, for
all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person
not listed in Schedule I hereto that, pursuant to this Section 11, purchases
Offered Certificates that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to
purchase.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of
the Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the
non-defaulting Underwriters and the Depositor as provided in paragraph (a)
above, the aggregate principal amount of such Offered Certificates that remains
unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of
all the Offered Certificates, then the Depositor shall have the right to require
each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Offered
Certificates that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such
Underwriter's pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Offered
Certificates that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Offered
Certificates of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such
arrangements have not been made.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of
the Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the
non-defaulting Underwriters and the Depositor as provided in paragraph (a)
above, the aggregate principal amount of such Offered Certificates that remains
unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the
Offered Certificates, or if the Depositor shall not exercise the right described
in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on
the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Depositor, except that the
Depositor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in
Section 12 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not
terminate and shall remain in effect.
(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter
of any liability it may have to the Depositor or any non-defaulting Underwriter
for damages caused by its default.
12. Payment of Expenses.
(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Depositor will pay or cause
to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations
hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the
authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Certificates and
any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the
preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration
Statement, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and
the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and
the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing this
Agreement and each of the Basic Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of counsel
for the Underwriters; (v) the fees and expenses of the Depositor's counsel and
independent accountants; (vi) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for
investment of the Offered Certificates under the laws of such jurisdictions as
the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution
of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for
the Underwriters); (vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the
Certificates; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer and the Paying Agent (including related fees and expenses
of any counsel to such parties); (ix) all expenses and application fees incurred
in connection with any filing with the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.; (x) all expenses incurred in connection with any "road show"
presentation to potential purchasers of Offered Certificates; and (xi) the costs
and expenses of the Depositor in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage
Loans.
(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10; (ii)
the Depositor for any reason fails to tender the Offered Certificates for
delivery to the Underwriters; or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the
Offered Certificates for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the
Depositor agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred
by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering
contemplated hereby.
13. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be
construed to give any other person, other than the affiliates, officers,
directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 and their respective
heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No
purchaser of Offered Certificates from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a
successor merely by reason of such purchase.
14. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution,
representations, warranties and agreements of the Depositor and the Underwriters
contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Depositor or the
Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant
hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Offered Certificates
and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Depositor or the
Underwriters.
15. Underwriters' Information. The Depositor and the Underwriters
acknowledge and agree that the only information relating to any Underwriter that
has been furnished to the Depositor in writing by any Underwriter through the

Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Time of Sale
Information consists of the following: (i) the last paragraph of the cover page
of the Preliminary Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) the second to last
paragraph and first sentence of the last paragraph on the cover page and the

fourth paragraph under the heading "Method of Distribution" in the Prospectus
Supplement.

This material is for your information, and none of X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc.,
CIBC World Markets Corp. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (collectively, the
"Underwriters") are soliciting any action based upon it. This material is not to
be construed as an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy any
security in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation would be
illegal.
The depositor has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with
the SEC (SEC File No. 333-130786) for the offering to which this communication
relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration
statement and other documents the depositor has filed with the SEC for more
complete information about the issuer and this offering. You may get these
documents for free by visiting XXXXX on the SEC Web site at xxx.xxx.xxx.
Alternatively, the depositor or any Underwriter or any dealer participating in
the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by
calling 000-000-0000 or by emailing Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx at
xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx.
The offered certificates referred to in these materials, and the asset pools
backing them, are subject to modification or revision (including the possibility
that one or more classes of certificates may be split, combined or eliminated at
any time prior to issuance or availability of a final prospectus) and are
offered on a "when, as and if issued" basis. You understand that, when you are
considering the purchase of these offered certificates, a contract of sale will
come into being no sooner than the date on which the relevant class has been
priced and we have confirmed the allocation of offered certificates to be made
to you; any "indications of interest" expressed by you, and any "soft circles"
generated by us, will not create binding contractual obligations for you or us.
As a result of the foregoing, you may commit to purchase offered certificates
that have characteristics that may change, and you are advised that all or a
portion of the offered certificates may not be issued that have the
characteristics described in these materials. Our obligation to sell offered
certificates to you is conditioned on the offered certificates that are actually
issued having the characteristics described in these materials. If we determine
that condition is not satisfied in any material respect, we will notify you, and
neither the depositor nor any underwriter will have any obligation to you to
deliver any portion of the offered certificates which you have committed to
purchase, and there will be no liability between us as a consequence of the
non-delivery. You have requested that the Underwriters provide to you
information in connection with your consideration of the purchase of certain
offered certificates described in this free writing prospectus. This free
writing prospectus is being provided to you for informative purposes only in
response to your specific request. The Underwriters described in this free
writing prospectus may from time to time perform investment banking services
for, or solicit investment banking business from, any company named in this free
writing prospectus. The Underwriters and/or their employees may from time to
time have a long or short position in any contract or certificate discussed in
this free writing prospectus. To the extent that the information contained
herein does not update or modify information contained in the free writing
prospectus (the "Transaction Free Writing Prospectus") dated September 1, 2006,
the information contained herein is supplemented and qualified by information
contained in the Transaction Free Writing Prospectus.
THIS INFORMATION IS FURNISHED TO YOU SOLELY BY THE UNDERWRITERS AND NOT BY THE
ISSUER OF THE SECURITIES OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES. THE UNDERWRITERS ARE NOT
ACTING AS AGENT FOR THE ISSUER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION.
