(f) If the Time of Sale Prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Class C Certificates at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriter, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriter and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus or such issuer free writing prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus or such issuer free writing prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Prospectus or such issuer free writing prospectus is delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus or such issuer free writing prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus or such issuer free writing prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
(g) To take all reasonable actions to qualify the Class C Certificates for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter shall reasonably request; provided that neither the Company nor the Parent Guarantor shall be required to register as a foreign corporation or file any general consent to service of process or subject itself to any additional taxation.

5. Certain Covenants of the Underwriter. The Underwriter covenants with the Company and the Parent Guarantor not to take any action that would result in the Company or the Parent Guarantor being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company or the Parent Guarantor thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter. The Underwriter acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in Schedule IV hereto, neither the Company nor the Parent Guarantor has authorized or approved any “issuer information” for use in any free writing prospectus.
6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Each of the Company and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment
21
or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus, any “issuer information” that the Company or Parent Guarantor has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (other than with respect to the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (the “Underwriter Information”) or the Depositary Information.
(b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Parent Guarantor, and their respective directors, officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Parent Guarantor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Parent Guarantor to the Underwriter, but only with reference to the Underwriter Information provided by the Underwriter.
(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 Section 6(a) or 6(b), 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 to so notify the indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Section 6(a) or 6(b) above unless and to the extent the indemnifying party did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. 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 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 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, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to retain counsel as required by the prior sentence to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable amount of time. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings 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 such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter, in the case of parties indemnified
22
pursuant to Section 6(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b). The indemnifying party 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 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 by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, 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. 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 includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and 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.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party 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 Company and the Parent Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Class C Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 6(d)(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 6(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Parent Guarantor on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other hand 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 Company and the Parent Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the offering of such Class C Certificates shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the proceeds from the offering of such Class C Certificates received by the Original Trust (before deducting expenses), less the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such Class C Certificates. The relative fault of the Company and the Parent Guarantor on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other hand 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 and the Parent Guarantor or by the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
23
(e) The Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 6(d) 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Class C Certificates underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such 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 remedies provided for in this Section 6 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.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Parent Guarantor contained 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 or on behalf of the Underwriter, any person controlling the Underwriter or any affiliate of the Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, the Parent Guarantor, their respective officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or the Parent Guarantor and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Class C Certificates.
7. [Reserved.]
8. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Parent Guarantor and their officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement, any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person and will survive delivery of and payment for the Class C Certificates. If for any reason the purchase of the Class C Certificates by the Underwriter is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid by it pursuant to Section 10 hereof (other than any reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of the Underwriter) and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriter pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall remain in effect. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriter because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Parent Guarantor to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or the Parent Guarantor shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
