Fifty (50) of the Mortgage Loans (the "FUNB Mortgage Loans"), having

acquired by the Company from First Union National Bank ("FUNB") pursuant to a
mortgage loan purchase agreement, dated as of February 10, 2002 (the "FUNB

Purchase Agreement") between GACC and the Company. Forty (40) of the Mortgage
Loans (the "LaSalle Mortgage Loans"), having an aggregate principal balance of
$201,543,913 as of the Cut-Off Date, were acquired by the Company from LaSalle
Bank National Association ("LaSalle") pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase
agreement, dated as of February 1, 2002 (the "LaSalle Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement and, collectively with the FUNB Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and
the GACC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the "Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements"), between LaSalle and the Company. Each of FUNB, GACC and LaSalle is

Two separate real estate mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC")
elections will be made with respect to the Trust Fund for federal income tax
purposes. The Underwritten Certificates and the Mortgage Pool are described more
fully in Schedule I hereto and in a registration statement furnished to you by
the Company.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. (a) The Company represents and
warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:
(i) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement (No. 333-68246) on
Form S-3 for the registration of Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, issuable in series, including the Underwritten Certificates,
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), which
registration statement has become effective and a copy of which, as
amended to the date hereof, has heretofore been delivered to you. The
Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, and
such registration statement, as amended at the date hereof, meets the
requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the 1933 Act and
complies in all other material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder. The Company proposes to file with the
Commission, with your consent, pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, a
supplement dated February 14, 2002 (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the
prospectus dated February 6, 2002 (the "Basic Prospectus"), relating to
the Underwritten Certificates and the method of distribution thereof, and
has previously advised you of all further information (financial and
other) with respect to the Underwritten Certificates and the Mortgage Pool
to be set forth therein. Such registration statement (No. 333-68246),
including all exhibits thereto, is referred to herein as the "Registration
Statement"; and the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement,
together with any amendment thereof or supplement thereto authorized by
the Company prior to the Closing Date for use in connection with the

"Prospectus". Any preliminary form of the Prospectus Supplement that has
heretofore been filed pursuant to Rule 424 or, prior to the effective date
of the Registration Statement, pursuant to Rule 402(a) or 424(a), is
hereinafter called a "Preliminary Prospectus Supplement". If so stated in
the Prospectus Supplement, the Company will file with the Commission
within fifteen days of the issuance of the Underwritten Certificates a
report on Form 8-K ("8-K") setting forth specific information concerning
the Mortgage Pool and the Underwritten Certificates to the extent that
such information is not set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. As used
herein, "Pool Information" means the mortgage pool information reflected

covered by the letters rendered by KPMG LLP (a "hard copy" of which Master
Tape was produced on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Sellers) described in
Section 6(h)(2) in this Agreement.

supplement to the Prospectus Supplement is filed with the Commission, and
as of 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, complies and will comply in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, (ii) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such
time, does not include and will not include any untrue statement of a
material fact and does not omit and will not omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading, and (iii) the Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented as of any such time, does not include and will not include
any untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit and will not
omit to state any 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 representations
or warranties as to (x) statements contained in or omitted from the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through you
specifically for use in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
(such information being identified in Section 8(b)), or (y) the Mortgage
Loan Seller Covered Information (as defined in Section 8 hereof).
(iii) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
North Carolina with corporate power and authority to own, lease or operate
its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it and to
enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the

the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business.
(iv) As of the date hereof, as of the date on which the
Prospectus Supplement is first filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933
Act, as of the date on which, prior to the Closing Date, any amendment to
the Registration Statement becomes effective, as of the date on which any
supplement to the Prospectus Supplement is filed with the Commission, and
as of the Closing Date, there has not and will not have been (i) any
request by the Commission for any further amendment to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (ii) any
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness

purpose.
(v) Each of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company and each of this Agreement, the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally, (ii) general
principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law, and (iii) public policy considerations underlying the
securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations
limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that
purport to provide indemnification from securities law liabilities.
(vi) As of the Closing Date, the Underwritten Certificates, the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements

Servicing Agreement.
(vii) [Reserved]
(viii) The Company is not in violation of its certificate of
incorporation or by-laws or in default under any agreement, indenture or
instrument the effect of which violation or default would be material to
the Company or which violation or default would have a material adverse
affect on the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
Neither the issuance and sale of the Underwritten Certificates, nor the
execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement or the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement nor the consummation by the Company of any of the
transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor compliance by the Company
with the provisions hereof or thereof, did, does or will conflict with or
result in a breach of any term or provision of the certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of the Company or conflict with, result in a
breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under, the
terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which it or any material asset is bound, or any
statute, order or regulation applicable to the Company of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Company.
(ix) There is no action, suit or proceeding against the Company
pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, before any
court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other tribunal (i) asserting
the invalidity of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Underwritten Certificates, (ii)
seeking to prevent the issuance of the Underwritten Certificates or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
(iii) that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the
Company of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of,
this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or the Underwritten Certificates or (iv) seeking to
affect adversely the federal income tax attributes of the Underwritten
Certificates as described in the Prospectus.
(x) There are no contracts, indentures or other documents of a
character required by the 1933 Act or by the rules and regulations
thereunder to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement
which have not been so described or referred to therein or so filed or
incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto.
(xi) No authorization, approval or consent of any court or
governmental authority or agency is necessary in connection with the
offering or sale of the Underwritten Certificates pursuant to this
Agreement, except such as have been, or as of the Closing Date will have
been, obtained or such as may otherwise be required under applicable state
securities laws in connection with the purchase and offer and sale of the
Underwritten Certificates by the Underwriters and any recordation of the
respective assignments of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that have not been completed.
(xii) The Company possesses all material licenses, certificates,
authorities or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign
regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now
operated by it, and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any such license,
certificate, authority or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the
subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially
and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the
earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company.
(xiii) Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
delivery and sale of the Underwritten Certificates (other than such
federal, state and local taxes as may be payable on the income or gain
recognized therefrom) have been or will be paid at or prior to the Closing
Date.
(xiv) Neither the Company nor the Trust Fund is, and neither the
sale of the Underwritten Certificates in the manner contemplated by the
Prospectus nor the activities of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement will cause the Company or the Trust Fund to be, an
"investment company" or under the control of an "investment company" as
such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Investment Company Act").
(xv) Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
for federal income tax purposes, the Company reported the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans to the Trustee in exchange for the Underwritten
Certificates and will report the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to
the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement as a sale of the interests in
the Mortgage Loans evidenced by the Underwritten Certificates. The
consideration received by the Company upon the sale of the Underwritten
Certificates to the Underwriters will constitute reasonably equivalent
value and fair consideration for the Underwritten Certificates. The
Company will be solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be
rendered insolvent by, the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the
Underwriters. In addition, the Company was solvent at all relevant times
prior to, and was not rendered insolvent by, the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Company is not
selling the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters and did not
transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund
with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the creditors of the
Company.
(xvi) At the Closing Date, the respective classes of Underwritten
Certificates shall be rated as set forth in Schedule I hereto by the
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations identified in
Schedule I hereto (individually and collectively, the "Rating Agency").
(b) FUNB represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each
Underwriter, that:
(i) FUNB is a national banking association validly existing under
the laws of the United States of America and possesses all requisite
authority, power, licenses, permits and franchises to carry on its
business as currently conducted by it and to execute, deliver and comply
with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.
(ii) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by FUNB and, assuming due authorization, execution
and delivery hereof by the Company and the Underwriters, constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of FUNB, enforceable against FUNB in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general, as they may be
applied in the context of the insolvency of a national banking
association, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and by
public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent
that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the
provisions of this Agreement which purport to provide indemnification from
liabilities under applicable securities laws.
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by FUNB and
FUNB's performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will
not (A) violate FUNB's articles of association or by-laws, (B) violate any
law or regulation or any administrative decree or order to which it is
subject or (C) constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or
lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in
the breach of, any contract, agreement or other instrument to which FUNB
is a party or by which FUNB is bound.
(iv) FUNB is not in default with respect to any order or decree
of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state,
municipal or other governmental agency or body, which default might have
consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition
(financial or other) or operations of FUNB or its properties or have
consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance
hereunder.
(v) FUNB is not a party to or bound by any agreement or
instrument or subject to any articles of association, bylaws or any other
corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree,
law or regulation that would materially and adversely affect the ability
of FUNB to perform its obligations under this Agreement or that requires
the consent of any third person to the execution of this Agreement or the
performance by FUNB of its obligations under this Agreement (except to the
extent such consent has been obtained).
(vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by FUNB of or compliance by FUNB with this Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except as
have previously been obtained.
(vii) No litigation is pending or, to the best of FUNB's
knowledge, threatened against FUNB that would prohibit its entering into
this Agreement or materially and adversely affect the performance by FUNB
of its obligations under this Agreement.
(viii) Each representation and warranty of the Company set forth
in Section 1(i) hereof is true and correct as of the date hereof or as of
the date specified in such representation and warranty.
(c) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that, as
of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, (i) such Underwriter has complied
in all material respects with all of its obligations under Section 4 hereof and
(ii) with respect to all Computational Materials and Term Sheets (as such terms
are defined in Section 4 herein), if any, provided by such Underwriter to the

(a) It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the
Underwritten Certificates for sale to the public, including, without limitation,

Statement 104 and 105, has not and will not file the offering pursuant to
Section 352-e of the General Business Law of the State of New York with respect
to the Underwritten Certificates.
(b) Each Underwriter may prepare and provide to prospective
investors certain Computational Materials, ABS Term Sheets, Structural Term
Sheets or Collateral Term Sheets in connection with its offering of the
Certificates, subject to the following conditions:
(i) Such Underwriter shall comply with the requirements of the
no-action letter, dated May 20, 1994, issued by the Commission to Xxxxxx,
Peabody Acceptance Corporation I, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated and
Xxxxxx Structured Asset Corporation, as made applicable to other issuers
and underwriters by the Commission in response to the request of the
Public Securities Association, dated May 27, 1994 (collectively, the
"Xxxxxx/PSA Letter"), and the requirements of the no-action letter, dated
February 17, 1995, issued by the Commission to the Public Securities
Association (the "PSA Letter" and, together with the Xxxxxx/PSA Letter,
the "No-Action Letters").
(ii) For purposes hereof, "Computational Materials" shall have
the meaning given such term in the No-Action Letters, but shall include
only (x) the Computational Materials attached hereto as Exhibit A and (y)
such other Computational Materials that have been prepared or delivered to
prospective investors by or at the direction of such Underwriter. For
purposes hereof, "ABS Term Sheets," "Structural Term Sheets" and
"Collateral Term Sheets" shall have the meanings given such terms in the
PSA Letter but shall include only (x) the Term Sheets attached hereto as
Exhibit B, and (y) those other ABS Term Sheets, Structural Term Sheets or
Collateral Term Sheets that have been prepared for or delivered to
prospective investors by or at the direction of such Underwriter. As used
herein, "Term Sheets" means any ABS Term Sheets, Structural Term Sheets,
and/or Collateral Term Sheets.
(iii) All Computational Materials and Term Sheets provided to
prospective investors shall bear a legend in a form previously approved by
the Company or its counsel.
(iv) Such Underwriter shall not distribute any such Computational
Materials or Term Sheets unless the forms and methodology thereof are in
accordance with this Agreement. Such Underwriter shall provide to the
Company, for filing on Form 8-K as provided in Section 5(g), copies (in
such format as required by the Company) of all Computational Materials and
Term Sheets. The Underwriter may provide copies of the foregoing in a
consolidated or aggregated form including all information required to be

Term Sheets shall be generated based on substantially the same methodology
and assumptions as are used to generate the information in the Prospectus
Supplement as set forth therein; provided that the Computational Materials
and Term Sheets may include information based on alternative methodologies
or assumptions if specified therein. If any Computational Materials or
Term Sheets were based on assumptions with respect to the Mortgage Pool
that differ from the final Pool Information in any material respect or on
Underwritten Certificate structuring assumptions (except in the case of
Computational Materials when the different structuring terms were
hypothesized and so described) that were revised in any material respect
prior to the printing of the Prospectus, then to the extent that it has
not already done so, such Underwriter shall immediately inform the Company
and, upon the direction of the Company, and if not corrected by the
Prospectus, shall prepare revised Computational Materials and Term Sheets,
as the case may be, based on the final collateral information and
structuring assumptions, circulate such revised Computational Materials
and Term Sheets to all recipients of the preliminary versions thereof, and
include such revised Computational Materials and Term Sheets (marked, "as
revised") in the materials delivered to the Company pursuant to subsection
(iv) above.
(vi) If, within the period during which the Prospectus relating
to the Underwritten Certificates is required to be delivered under the
1933 Act, any Computational Materials or Term Sheets are determined, in
the reasonable judgment of the Company or such Underwriter, to contain a
material error or, when read together with the Prospectus, a material
omission, then (unless the material error or omission was corrected in the
Prospectus) the Underwriter shall prepare a corrected version of such
Computational Materials or Term Sheets, shall circulate such corrected
Computational Materials or Term Sheets to all recipients of the prior
versions thereof, and shall deliver copies of such corrected Computational
Materials or Term Sheets (marked, "as corrected") to the Company for
filing with the Commission in a subsequent Form 8-K submission (subject to
the Company's obtaining an accountant's comfort letter in respect of such
corrected Computational Materials and Term Sheets, which shall be at the
expense of such Underwriter).
(vii) Such Underwriter shall be deemed to have represented, as of
the Closing Date, that except for Computational Materials and/or Term
Sheets provided to the Company pursuant to subsection (iv) above, such
Underwriter did not provide any prospective investors with any information
in written or electronic form in connection with the offering of the
Underwritten Certificates that is required to be filed with the Commission
in accordance with the No-Action Letters.
(viii) In the event of any delay in the delivery by such
Underwriter to the Company of all Computational Materials and Term Sheets
required to be delivered in accordance with subsection (iv) above, the
Company shall have the right to delay the release of the Prospectus to
investors or to the Underwriter, to delay the Closing Date and to take
other appropriate actions in each case as necessary in order to allow the
Company to comply with its agreement set forth in Section 5(g) to file the
Computational Materials and Term Sheets by the time specified therein.
(ix) Computational Materials and Term Sheets may be distributed
by the Underwriter through electronic means in accordance with SEC Release
No. 33-7233 or other applicable laws or regulations.
(c) Each Underwriter further agrees that it shall promptly provide
the Company with such information as to matters of fact as the Company may
reasonably request to enable it to comply with its reporting requirements with
respect to each class of Underwritten Certificates to the extent such
information can in the good faith judgment of the Underwriter be determined by
it.
5. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees with
the Underwriters that:
(a) The Company will not file any amendment to the Registration
Statement (other than by reason of Rule 429 under the 1933 Act) or any
supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to or affecting the Underwritten
Certificates, unless the Company has furnished a copy to you for your review
prior to filing, and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to
which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will
cause the Prospectus Supplement to be transmitted to the Commission for filing
pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act or will cause the Prospectus Supplement
to be filed with the Commission pursuant to said Rule 424. The Company promptly
will advise you or counsel for the Underwriters (i) when the Prospectus
Supplement shall have been filed or transmitted to the Commission for filing
pursuant to Rule 424, (ii) when any amendment to the Registration Statement
shall have become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission to amend the
Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus Supplement or for any
additional information in respect of the offering contemplated hereby, (iv) of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto which shall
have become effective on or prior to the Closing Date or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (v) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of the Underwritten Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution
or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose. The Company will use its best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or suspension and, if
issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Underwritten
Certificates is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, any event occurs 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 any material fact

summary of such matters and conclusions;

articles of association or by-laws of FUNB or, to such counsel's
knowledge, any contract, agreement or other instrument to which FUNB is a
party or by which it is bound, or any federal statute or regulation

(a) The Company and FUNB, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify
and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of
the 1934 Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided the foregoing
indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or to the benefit
of any person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the person asserting
claims giving rise to any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities
purchased Underwritten Certificates if such untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement or Prospectus is eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus or a
corrected and amended Prospectus as applicable, and, if required by law, a copy
of the Prospectus shall not have been furnished to such person at or prior to
the written confirmation of the sale of such Certificates to such person;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent any such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or omission with respect to information subject
to the provisions of Section 7 of each of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements (the "Mortgage Loan Seller Covered Information"); provided further
that, the indemnification provided by this Section 8 shall not apply to the
extent that such untrue statement or omission of a material fact was made as a
result of an error in the manipulation of, or in any calculations based upon, or
in any aggregation of the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related
Mortgagors and/or the related Mortgaged Properties set forth in the Master Tape
or Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement to the extent such information was
materially incorrect in the Master Tape or such Annex A, as applicable,
including without limitation the aggregation of such information relating to the
Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund or the information provided by the related
Mortgage Loan Sellers.
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount
paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding
by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any
claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any
such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected
with the written consent of the Company; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
(including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such
Underwriter), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense
is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that this
indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage
or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information (as specified in Section 8(b) below)
furnished to the Company by any Underwriter expressly for use in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Basic
Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus
Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(b) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed
the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act,
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the
indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only
with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or
omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in
the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus
Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter
expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in
the Basic Prospectus, such Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus
Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto); in addition, each
Underwriter, severally but not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any
and all losses, liabilities, claims and damages as incurred arising out of any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission of a material fact contained in any Term Sheets or
Computational Materials which, when read together with any Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement, was required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided,
that no such material misstatement or omission arises from an error or omission
in information relating to the underlying data regarding the Mortgage Loans or
the related Mortgagors or Mortgaged Properties provided by the Company to such
Underwriter; and provided, further, that any such Term Sheets or Computational
Materials were distributed by such Underwriter. It is hereby acknowledged that
(i) the statements set forth in the first and third sentences of the last
paragraph on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement, (ii) the statements in the
second paragraph and the first sentence of the sixth paragraph under the caption
"Method of Distribution" in the Prospectus Supplement and (iii) the statements
in any Computational Materials and Term Sheets delivered by the Underwriters to
the Company for filing with the Commission pursuant to this Agreement and the
No-Action Letters, constitute the only written information furnished to the
Company by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or
any amendment thereto) or in the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement
thereto).
(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to
so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from
any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity
agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the
defense of any such action and, to the extent that it may elect by written
notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from the indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party. In any such proceeding, any indemnified
party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention
of such counsel, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the
defense of such action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party,
within a reasonable period following the indemnifying party's receiving notice
of such action, or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In no event shall
the indemnifying party or parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than
one counsel (or, in the event the Company is the indemnifying party, one counsel
for each Underwriter) (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its or
their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action
or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or circumstances. Unless it shall assume the
defense of any proceeding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but, if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If an indemnifying
party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such
proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement
provides for release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters
relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party
in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, without the consent
of the indemnified party.
(d) The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 8 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters,
any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the
Company or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Underwritten Certificates.
(e) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, will indemnify and
hold harmless any other Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such
Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
(collectively, the "Non-Indemnifying Underwriter") from and against any and all
loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred that arise
out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement of material fact contained in
any Computational Materials or Term Sheets (other than the Computational
Materials and Term Sheets attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B) prepared
by such indemnifying Underwriter or any member of its selling group, in
connection with the Underwritten Certificates or in any revision or amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or (ii) the failure of such indemnifying
Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of
Section 4(b) hereof, and agrees to reimburse each 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, liability,
claim, damage or expense; provided, that the indemnity provided by this Section
8(e) shall not apply to the extent that such indemnifying Underwriter is
entitled under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to seek indemnity for such
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense from a Mortgage Loan Seller affiliated
with the Underwriter seeking indemnification. This indemnity agreement will be
in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.
9. CONTRIBUTION.
(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 8 hereof
is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although
applicable in accordance with its terms, or if such indemnification provided for
in Section 8 hereof is insufficient in respect of any losses, liabilities,
claims or damages referred to therein, the Company and the Underwriters shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of
the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and
the Underwriters, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each
Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Underwritten Certificates or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations (taking
into account the parties' relative knowledge and access to information
concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the
opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission or failure to
comply, and any other equitable consideration appropriate under the
circumstances). The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission; provided, however, that no person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall
any Underwriter be obligated to contribute more than its share of underwriting
discounts and commissions pertaining to the Underwritten Certificates less any
damages otherwise paid by such Underwriter with respect to such loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense. It is hereby acknowledged that the respective
Underwriters' obligations under this Section 9 shall be several and not joint.
For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act,
and such Underwriter's directors, shall have the same rights to contribution as
such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company
who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the considerations referred to in
subsection (a) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, liabilities, claims or damages referred to in Section 8 or
this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal fees and disbursements or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim except where the indemnified party is
required to bear such expenses, which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay
as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent
that it is reasonable to believe that the indemnifying party will be ultimately
obligated to pay such expenses. In the event that any expenses so paid by the
indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by
the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall
promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment. The
remedies provided for in Section 8 and this Section 9 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.
(c) The contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters,
any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the
Company or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Underwritten Certificates.
10. DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER. If any one or more Underwriters shall
fail to purchase and pay for any of the Underwritten Certificates agreed to be
purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to
purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their
obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated
severally (in the respective proportions which the portion of the Underwritten
Certificates set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the
aggregate amount of Underwritten Certificates set forth opposite the names of
all the remaining Underwriters) to purchase the Underwritten Certificates that
the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase;
provided, however, that in the event that the amount of Underwritten
Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed
to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten
Certificates set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall
have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to
purchase any, of the Underwritten Certificates, and if such nondefaulting
Underwriters do not purchase all of the Underwritten Certificates, this
Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or
the Company, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12. In the event of a
default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date for
the Underwritten Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding
ten business days, as you shall determine in order that the required changes in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement or in any other
documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the
Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default
hereunder.
11. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS TO SURVIVE DELIVERY.
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or
contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto,
shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the
Company, or by or on behalf of any of the controlling persons and officers and
directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9, and shall survive delivery of the
Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters.
12. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL.
(a) The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the
Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date (i) if there has been,
since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which
information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any
material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the
earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company or of FUNB
whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has
occurred any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or
crisis the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of
any Underwriter, impracticable to market the Underwritten Certificates or to
enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten Certificates, or (iii) if
trading in any securities of the Company or of FUNB has been suspended or
limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading
generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or on
the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum
prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been
required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the
Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other
governmental authority, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by
either federal or New York authorities.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except
as provided in Section 11 or Section 12 (c).
(c) The provisions of Section 5(e) regarding the payment of costs
and expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

14. PARTIES. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon each of the Underwriters, the Company and FUNB and their respective
successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or
shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the

contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended
to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters, the Company and
FUNB and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers
and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of
no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Underwritten Certificates
from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such
purchase.

agreements made and to be performed entirely in said State. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes
