Company's knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or
contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.
(l) As of the Closing Date, each of the Mortgage Loans will meet
the criteria for selection described in the Final Prospectus, and at
the Closing Date, the representations and warranties made by the
Company in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be true and
correct as of the date made.
(m) At the time of execution and delivery of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Company will have good and marketable title
to the Mortgage Loans, free and clear of any lien, mortgage, pledge,

of its right, title or interest in the Mortgage Loans or in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Offered Securities, the
Company will have the power and authority to transfer the Offered
Securities to the Underwriter, and, upon execution and delivery to

contemplated by
13

Certificates in the manner contemplated by the Final Prospectus, nor
(ii) the activities of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement will cause the Company or the Trust Fund to be an

5. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Regardless of whether any _____________ are sold, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each of their respective officers
and directors and each person who controls each Underwriter within the meaning
of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages,
or liabilities (including the cost of any investigation, legal and other
expenses incurred in connection with and amounts paid in settlement of any
action, suit, proceeding or claim asserted), joint or several, to which they
may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state
law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained (i) in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, not misleading or (ii) in the Basic Prospectus or the Prospectus
Supplement or any amendment thereto or supplement thereto, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in
connection with investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company
by such Underwriter specifically for use in connection with the preparation
thereof.
14
(b) Regardless of whether any Certificates are sold, each Underwriter,
severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each
of its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they become subject under the 1933 Act, the
1934 Act or other federal or state law or regulation, at common law or
otherwise, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in (i) the Registration Statement, or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or in (ii) the Prospectus or the Prospectus
Supplement or any amendment thereto or supplement thereto, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information relating to the Underwriter furnished to
the Company by such Underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof
and so acknowledged in writing, and will reimburse the Company for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with
investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action.
(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 paragraphs a, b and c of this Section 5, such person
(hereinafter called the indemnified party) shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (hereinafter called the indemnifying
party) in writing thereof; but the omission to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have
to any indemnified party otherwise than under such Paragraph. 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
part shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, or (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. It is understood that the
indemnifying party shall not, 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
15
shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to paragraph a of this Section 5 and by the Company in the
case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraphs b and e of this Section 5.
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 above, 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.
(d) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to provide the
Company no later than the date on which the Prospectus Supplement is required
to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or such other time as is necessary to permit
timely filing as required by the Securities Exchange Commission and its rules)
with a copy of any Derived Information (defined below) for filing with the
Commission on Form 8-K.
(e) Each Underwriter agrees, jointly and not severally, assuming all
Company-Provided Information (defined below) is accurate and complete in all
material respects, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its respective
officers and directors and each person who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become
subject under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Derived Information provided by such Underwriter, or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection with
investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The several obligations of
each Underwriter under this Section 5(e) shall be in addition to any liability
which each Underwriter may otherwise have.
16
The procedures set forth in Section 5(c) shall be equally applicable to
this Section 5(e).
(f) For purposes of this Section 5, the term "Derived Information" means
such portion, if any, of the information delivered to the Companies pursuant to
Section 5(d) for filing with the Commission on Form 8-K as: (i) is not
contained in the Prospectus without taking into account information
incorporated therein by reference; and (ii) does not constitute
Company-Provided Information. "Company-Provided Information" means any computer
tape furnished to the Underwriters by the Company concerning the assets
comprising the Trust.
(g) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable
to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to herein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and each Underwriter from the sale of the
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 relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company and of each Underwriter 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 each Underwriter shall be deemed
to be in such proportion so that each Underwriter is responsible for that
portion determined by multiplying the total amount of such losses, claims,
damages and liabilities, including legal and other expenses, by a fraction, the
numerator of which is (x) the excess of the Aggregate Resale Price (as defined
below) of the Offered Certificates underwritten by such Underwriter over the
aggregate purchase price of such Certificates specified in Section of this
Agreement and the related Prospectus Supplement, and the denominator of which
is (y) the Aggregate Resale Price of such Offered Certificates, and the Company
is responsible for the balance; 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. For purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence, the "Aggregate Resale Price" of the Offered Certificates at the time
of any determination shall be the weighted average of the purchase prices (in
each case expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the
Offered Certificates so purchased), determined on the basis of such principal
amounts, paid to the Underwriter by all subsequent purchasers that purchased
the Offered Certificates on or prior to such date of determination. The
relative fault of the Company and each Underwriter 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 either
Underwriter and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
17
(h) The Company and each Underwriter agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 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 paragraph g of this Section 5.
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (g) of this Section 5
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 5, neither Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount by which the Aggregate Resale Price 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.
(i) The Company and each Underwriter each expressly waive, and agree not
to assert, any defense to their respective indemnification and contribution
obligations under this Section 5 which they might otherwise assert based upon
any claim that such obligations are unenforceable under federal or state
securities laws or by reasons of public policy.
(j) The obligations of the Company under this Section 5 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who
controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act;
and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 5 shall be in
addition to any liability that the Underwriters may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company and
to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933
Act or the 1934 Act; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or
either Underwriter be liable for double indemnification.
6. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective
representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other
statements of the Company, its officers and the Underwriter set forth in, or
made pursuant to, this Underwriting Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the result thereof,
made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company, or any of the offices or
directors or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive
the delivery of and payment for the offered Securities.
7. Termination. (a) This Underwriting Agreement may be terminated by the
Company by notice to the Underwriter in the event that a stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued or
proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.
(b) This Underwriting Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriter by
notice to the Company in the event that the Company or the Servicer
18
shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and
satisfy all conditions to be performed or satisfied hereunder by the Company at
or prior to the Closing Date.
(c) Termination of this Underwriting Agreement pursuant to this Section 7
shall be without liability of any party to any other party other than as
provided in Sections 8 and 12 hereof.
8. Default of Underwriter. If the Underwriter defaults in its obligation
to purchase the Offered Securities as provided in this Underwriting Agreement
and the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Securities with respect to
which such default occurs is more than ten percent of the aggregate principal
amount, notional amount or Stated Amount, as applicable, of such Offered
Securities, as the case may be, and arrangements satisfactory to the
Underwriter and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by
other persons are not made within 36 hours after any such default, this
Underwriting Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of the
Company except for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by the Company
pursuant to Section 11 hereof and except for the provisions of Sections 14
hereof. As used in this Underwriting Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes
any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 8.
9. Expenses. The Company agrees with the Underwriter that: (a) whether or
not the transactions contemplated in this Underwriting Agreement are
consummated or this Underwriting Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay
all fees and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this
Underwriting Agreement, including but not limited to, (i) the Commission's
registration fee, (ii) the expenses of printing and distributing this
Underwriting Agreement and any related underwriting documents, the Registration

Supplement, and any Blue Sky memorandum or legal investment survey and any
supplements thereto, (iii) fees and expenses of rating agencies, accountants

Registration Statement; (b) all out-of-pocket expenses, including counsel fees,
disbursements and expenses, reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in
connection with investigating, preparing to market and marketing the Offered
Securities and proposing to purchase and purchasing the Offered Securities
under this Underwriting Agreement will be borne and paid by the Company if this
Underwriting Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 10
hereof or by the Underwriter on account of the failure, refusal or inability on
the part of the Company to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions
on the part of the Company to be performed or satisfied hereunder; and (c) the
Company will pay the cost of preparing the certificates for the Offered
Securities.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, the Underwriter agrees to
pay all of its expenses in connection with investigating, preparing to market
and
19
marketing the Offered Securities and proposing to purchase and purchasing the
Offered Securities under this Underwriting Agreement, including the fees and
expenses of their counsel and any advertising expenses incurred by it in making
offers and sales of the Offered Securities.
10. If the sale of the Offered Securities provided/or herein is not
consummated because any condition to the obligation of the Underwriter set
forth in Section 2 is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or
failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply
with any provision hereof, other than by reason of a defendant by the
Underwriter, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter, upon demand, for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
that shall have been incurred by it in connection with the proposed offering of
the Offered Securities.

successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned herein
