[ADDRESS]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
American Residential Eagle, Inc. (the "Company" or the
"Depositor"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Delaware and which is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Residential
Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("AmREIT"), may issue, from time
to time, securities entitled Mortgage-Backed Certificates (the "Certificates")
in one or more series, and within each series, in one or more classes, in one or
more offerings on terms determined at the time of sale (each such series, a
"Series" and each such class, a "Class"). Each Series of the Certificates will
be issued pursuant to a separate certificate trust agreement [199_] (each, a
"Certificate Trust Agreement") to be dated as of the respective cut-off date
(each, a "Cut-off Date") between the Company and [ ], a banking corporation
organized under the State of ____________________, as certificate trustee (the
"Certificate Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings given to them in the related Trust Agreement.
The Certificates issued under each Trust Agreement will represent
the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the "Certificate Trust
Fund") established by such Trust Agreement. The assets of each Trust Fund will
consist primarily of a single Collateralized Mortgage Bond (an "Underlying
Bond") to be issued by American Residential Eagle Bond Trust [199_-_] (each a
"Bond trust" or a "Bond Issuer"), a statutory business trust established under
Delaware law pursuant to an amended and restated deposit trust Agreement (each,
a "Deposit Trust Agreement") between the Depositor and [ ], a banking
corporation organized under the laws of the state of [ ] (each, an "Owner
Trustee").
2
Each Underlying Bond will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the
"Bond Indenture") between the Bond Issuer and [ ], a banking corporation
organized under the laws of the State of [ ] (each, a "Bond Trustee"). An
Underlying Bond will be secured by and represent the right to receive all of the
payments received on or with respect to a pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of
conventional [fixed][adjustable] rate mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans")
secured be first liens on one- to four-family residential properties having the
original terms to maturity specified in the related Terms Agreement referred to
herein below. All of such Mortgage Loans will have been deposited with the Bond
Issuer by the Depositor which, in turn, will have been acquired by the Depositor
from AmREIT pursuant to an Agreement (the "Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement")
between the Depositor and AmREIT. AmREIT will be the manager of the Bond Issuer
pursuant to a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") entered into
between AmREIT and the Bond Issuer.
Pursuant to the Bond Indenture, the Bond Issuer on or prior to
the related Closing Date (as defined below) will pledge, transfer and assign
without recourse to the Bond Trustee all of its right, title and interest in and
to each Mortgage Loan and all other assets included in the Bond Trust (the
"Mortgage Collateral") and will assign the Underlying Bond to the Depositor for
deposit to the Certificate Trust Fund in order to support the issuance of a
Series of Certificates.
The Mortgage Loans in each Mortgage Pool will be serviced
pursuant to a master servicing agreement (each, a "Master Servicing Agreement")
among the Bond Issuer, the Bond Trustee and [ ] as master servicer (the "Master
Servicer"). On or prior to the Closing Date, as to any Mortgage Loans not being
directly serviced by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will enter into or
be assigned mortgage servicing agreements (each, a "Servicing Agreement") with
certain servicers (the "Servicers").
If so specified in the related Terms Agreement, one or more
elections may be made to treat the assets of each Certificate Trust Fund as a
financial asset securitization investment trust (each, a "FASIT") for federal
income tax purposes.
Whenever the Company determines to make an offering of
Certificates (each, a "Certificate Offering") pursuant to this Agreement through
you, it will enter into an agreement (the "Terms Agreement") with the
Underwriter (which shall include you, whether acting alone in the sale of the
Certificates, in which case any reference in this Agreement to you as
"Representative" of the Underwriters shall be deemed to refer to you in your
individual capacity as Underwriter of the Certificates, or as a member of an
underwriting syndicate) providing for the sale of specified Classes of Offered
Certificates (as defined below) to, and the purchase and public offering thereof
by, you. Each such Certificate Offering which the Company elects to make
pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by this Agreement, as supplemented
by the related Terms Agreement. Each Terms Agreement, which shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, shall specify, among other
things, the Classes of Certificates to be purchased by the Underwriter (the
"Offered Certificates"), the principal balance or balances of the Offered
Certificates, each subject to any stated variance, and the price or prices at
which such Offered Certificates are to be purchased by the Underwriter from the
Company.

such instruments and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by
the Underwriter to qualify the Offered Certificates of a Series for sale
under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter may designate,
to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the
distribution of such Offered Certificates and to determine the legality
of such Offered Certificates for purchase by institutional investors;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to
do business in any jurisdiction where it is not qualified on the date of

jurisdiction in which it is not, on the date of the related Terms
Agreement, subject to such service of process.

shall be responsible for the payment of any costs and expenses for which
details are submitted, in connection with the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement,

material respects; and (c) "ERISA Considerations" (insofar as
they relate specifically to the purchase, ownership and
disposition of such Offered Certificates) and describe certain
provisions of federal statutes and regulations, have been
reviewed by such counsel, and such statements fairly describe
such provisions and regulations;
(x.) assuming compliance with all provisions of the
related Certificate Trust Agreement, for federal income tax
purposes, (A) if any election is made to treat the assets of the
Certificate Trust Fund as a FASIT, the related Certificate Trust
Fund (and any specified subgrouping therein) will qualify as a
FASIT pursuant to Section 860L of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), each Class of Certificates of the
related Series, other than the related Residual Class or Classes,
will constitute a class of "regular interests" in the related
FASIT within the meaning of the Code, and each Class of such
Certificates specified in the related Prospectus as a Class of
Residual Certificates will constitute the "residual interest" in
the related FASIT within the meaning of the Code; (B) if no such
FASIT election is made: the Trust Fund will be treated as a
"grantor trust";
(xi.) assuming that some or all of the Offered
Certificates of the related Series shall be rated at the time of
issuance in one of the two highest rating categories by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization, each
Offered Certificate so rated will be at the time of issuance, a
"mortgage related security" as such term is defined in Section
3(a)(41) of the Exchange Act; and
(xii.) the conditions to the use by the Depositor
of a registration statement on Form S-3/S-11 under the Act, as
set forth in the General Instructions to such Forms, have been
satisfied with respect to the Registration and the Prospectus;
and, to the best of such counsel's knowledge, there are no
certificates or documents which are required to be filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement pursuant to the Act or the
Rules and regulations thereunder that have not been so filed.
Such opinion may express its reliance as to factual matters on the
representations and warranties made by, and on certificates or other
documents furnished by, officers of the parties to this Agreement, the
related Transaction Documents or the related Trust Agreement. Such
opinion may assume the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
instruments and documents referred to therein by the parties thereto
other than the Company. Such opinion may be qualified, insofar as it
concerns the enforceability of the documents referred to therein, to the
extent that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general equity
principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). Such opinion may be further qualified
as expressing no opinion as to (x) the statements in the
13
14
related Prospectus under the heading "Certain Legal Aspects of the
Mortgage Loans", except insofar as such statements relate to the laws of
the State of California and the laws of the United States, and (y) the
statements in such Prospectus under the headings "ERISA Considerations"
and "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences", except insofar as such
statements relate to the laws of the United States. In addition, such
opinion may be qualified as an opinion only on the law of the States of
California, Delaware and the federal law of the United States of
America.
(d) The General Counsel for the Depositor shall have
furnished to the Underwriter an opinion, dated the related Closing Date,

(iv.) Neither the issuance of the Certificates of
the related Series nor delivery of the related Offered

conflict with or violate any term or provision of the articles of
incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor or any statute, order
or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body
having jurisdiction over the Depositor and will not conflict

agreement or instrument known to such counsel to which the
Depositor is a party or by which it or its property is bound; and
(v.) There are no actions, proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of such counsel,

which might materially and adversely affect the performance by
the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, this Agreement, such Terms Agreement, the
related Certificates or the related Transaction Documents to
which it is a party.
In rendering her opinion such counsel may rely as to matters of fact, to
the extent deemed proper and as stated therein, on certificates of
responsible officers of the Depositor or public officials. In addition,
such opinion may be qualified as an opinion only on the laws of the
State of Delaware.

16
that the related Prospectus (excluding any related Current

(l) [ ] shall have furnished to the Underwriter a letter,
dated as of the related Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Underwriter, stating in effect that they have performed certain
specified procedures as a result of which they have determined that such
information as the Underwriter may reasonably request of an accounting,

impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the
delivery of such Offered Certificates as contemplated by the related
Prospectus.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not
have been fulfilled in all material respects with respect to the particular
Offered Certificates of a Series when and as provided in this Agreement and the
related Terms Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned
above or elsewhere in this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement shall not
be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Underwriter and its counsel, this Agreement (with respect to the related Offered

7. Indemnification and Contribution.
19
20
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Underwriter and each person who controls the Underwriter within the
meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any
of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act, or other
Federal or state statutory 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 any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Registration Statement relating to the Underlying Bond or the
Offered Certificates of the applicable Series as it became effective or
in any amendment or supplement thereof, or in such Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof, or in
the Detailed Description referred to in such Prospectus or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission (in the case of any
Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets (in each case, as defined
herein) in respect of which the Company agrees to indemnify the
Underwriter, as set forth below, when such are read in conjunction with
the related Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) the Company
will 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 any such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made therein (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company as herein stated by or on
behalf of the Underwriter specifically for use in connection with the
preparation thereof or (B) in any Current Report or any amendment or
supplement thereof, except to the extent that any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement therein or omission therefrom results (or is
alleged to have resulted) directly from an error (a "Mortgage Pool
Error") in the information concerning the characteristics of the
Mortgage Loans furnished by the Company to the Underwriter in writing or
by electronic transmission that was used in the preparation of either
(x) any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets (or amendments or
supplements thereof) included in such Current Report (or amendment or
supplement thereof) or (y) any written or electronic materials furnished
to prospective investors on which the Computational Materials (or
amendments or supplements) were based, (ii) such indemnity with respect
to any Corrected Statement (as defined below) in such Prospectus (or
supplement thereto) shall not inure to the benefit of the Underwriter
(or any person controlling the Underwriter) from whom the person
asserting any loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the
Certificates of the related Series that are the subject thereof if such
person did not receive a copy of a supplement to such Prospectus at or
prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Certificates and the
untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in such
Prospectus (or supplement thereto) was corrected (a "Corrected
Statement") in such other supplement and such supplement was furnished
by the Company to the Underwriter prior to the delivery of such
confirmation, and (iii) such indemnity with respect to any Mortgage Pool
Error shall not inure to the benefit of the Underwriter (or any person
20
21
controlling the Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any loss,
claim, damage or liability received any Computational Materials (or any
written or electronic materials on which the Computational Materials are
based) or ABS Term Sheets that were prepared on the basis of such
Mortgage Pool Error, if, prior to the time of confirmation of the sale
of the applicable Certificates to such person, the Company notified the
Underwriter in writing of the Mortgage Pool Error or provided in written
or electronic form information superseding or correcting such Mortgage
Pool Error (in any such case, a "Corrected Mortgage Pool Error"), and
the Underwriter failed to notify such person thereof or to deliver to
such person corrected Computational Materials (or underlying written or
electronic materials) or ABS Term Sheets. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the
Registration Statement relating to the Offered Certificates of the
applicable Series, and each person who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnities from the Company to the Underwriter, but only with
reference to (A) written information furnished to the Company by or on
behalf of the Underwriter specifically for use in the preparation of the
documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity with respect to the
related Series, or (B) any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets
(or amendments or supplements thereof) furnished to the Company by the
Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9 and incorporated by
reference in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereof (except that no such indemnity shall
be available for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or actions
in respect thereof, resulting from any Mortgage Pool Error, other than a
Corrected Mortgage Pool Error). This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have. The
Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in [ ] the related
Prospectus Supplement as such statements relate to such Offered
Certificates and [ ] under the heading "Method of Distribution" in such
Prospectus Supplement as such statements relate to such Offered
Certificates constitute the only information furnished in writing by or
on behalf of the Underwriter for inclusion in the related Prospectus
(other than any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets (or
amendments or supplements thereof) furnished to the Company by the
Underwriter), and the Underwriter confirms that such statements are
correct.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party
in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7.
In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and
21
22
to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from
such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties
shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party
of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in
accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being
understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for
the expenses of more than one separate counsel approved by the
indemnified party in the case of subparagraph (a) or (b), representing
the indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) or (b), who are parties
to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed
counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement
of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the
employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the
indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is
applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel
referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).
(d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section 7 is due in accordance with its terms but is for
any reason held by a court to be unavailable from the Company or the
Underwriter, on grounds of policy or otherwise, or if the indemnified
party failed to give notice under paragraph (c) of this Section 7 in
respect of a claim otherwise subject to indemnification in accordance
with paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7, the Company and the
Underwriter shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages
and liabilities (including legal and other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating or defending same) to which the Company
and the Underwriter may be subject in such proportion so that the
Underwriter is responsible for that portion represented by the
difference between the proceeds to the Company in respect of the Offered
Certificates appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement
for the related Series and the total proceeds received by the
Underwriter from the sale of such Offered Certificates (the
"Underwriting Discount"), and the Company is responsible for the
balance; provided, however, that in no case shall the Underwriter be
responsible for any amount in excess of such Underwriting Discount
applicable to the Offered Certificates purchased by the Underwriter
pursuant to this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement.
22
23
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(d), no person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who
controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter, and each
person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the
Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration
Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the immediately preceding
sentence of this paragraph (d).

Finance of the Commission to the Public Securities Association (together, the
"Xxxxxx Letters"), the filing of which material is a condition of the relief
granted in such letter (such materials being the "Computational Materials"), and
(ii) "Structural Term Sheets" within the meaning of the no-action letter dated
February 17, 1995 issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the
Commission to the Public Securities Association (the "PSA Letter"), the filing
of which material is a condition of the relief granted in such letter (such
materials being the "Structural Term Sheets"). Each delivery of Computational
Materials and Structural Term Sheets to the Company pursuant to this paragraph
(a) shall be effected by delivering four copies of such materials to counsel for
the Company on behalf of the Company at the address specified in Section 3
hereof and one copy of such materials to the Company.
(b) The Underwriter represents and warrants to and agrees
with the Company, as of the date of the related Terms Agreement and as
of the Closing Date, that:
(i.) the Computational Materials furnished to the
Company pursuant to Section 8(a) constitute (either in original,
aggregated or consolidated form) all of the materials furnished
to prospective investors by the Underwriter prior to the time of
delivery thereof to the Company that are required to be filed
with the Commission with respect to the related Offered
Certificates in accordance with the Xxxxxx Letters, and such
Computational Materials comply with the requirements of the
Xxxxxx Letters;
(ii.) the Structural Term Sheets furnished to the

furnished to prospective
23
24
investors by the Underwriter prior to the time of delivery
thereof to the Company that are required to be filed with the
Commission as "Structural Term Sheets" with respect to the
related Offered Certificates in accordance with the PSA Letter,
and such Structural Term Sheets comply with the requirements of
the PSA Letter; and
(ii.) on the date any such Computational Materials
or Structural Term Sheets with respect to such Offered
Certificates (or any written or electronic materials furnished to
prospective investors on which the Computational Materials are
based) were last furnished to each prospective investor and on
the date of delivery thereof to the Company pursuant to Section
8(a) and on the related Closing Date, such Computational
Materials (or such other materials) or Structural Term Sheets did
not and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact
or, when read in conjunction with the related Prospectus and
Prospectus Supplement, omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriter makes no representation or
warranty as to whether any Computational Materials or Structural Term Sheets (or
any written or electronic materials on which the Computational Materials are
based) included or will include any untrue statement resulting directly from any
Mortgage Pool Error (except any Corrected Mortgage Pool Error, with respect to
materials prepared after the receipt by the Underwriter from the Company of
notice of such Corrected Mortgage Pool Error or materials superseding or
correcting such Corrected Mortgage Pool Error).
(c) The Underwriter shall cause a firm of public
accountants to furnish to the Company a letter, dated as of the date on
which the Underwriter delivers any Computational Materials (which term
shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this paragraph (c),
calculated statistical information delivered to prospective investors in
the form of a Structural Term Sheet) to the Company pursuant to Section
8(a), in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, stating in
effect that they have verified the mathematical accuracy of any
calculations performed by the Underwriter and set forth in such
Computational Materials.
(d) The Underwriter acknowledges and agrees that any
Computational Materials or Structural Term Sheets with respect to any
Series of Certificates furnished to prospective investors from and after
______, 1998 have been prepared and disseminated by the Underwriter and
not by or on behalf of the Company, and that such materials included and
shall include a disclaimer in form satisfactory to the Company to the
effect that such materials have been prepared and disseminated by the
Underwriter, and that the content and accuracy of such materials have
not been reviewed by the Company.
(e) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the
Offered Certificates of a Series is required to be delivered under the
Act, it shall be necessary to
24
25
amend or supplement the related Prospectus as a result of an untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Computational Materials or
Structural Term Sheets provided by the Underwriter pursuant to this
Section 8 or the omission to state therein a material fact required,
when considered in conjunction with the related Prospectus and
Prospectus Supplement, to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, when read in conjunction with the related Prospectus
and Prospectus Supplement, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary
to amend or supplement any Current Report relating to any Computational
Materials or Structural Term Sheets to comply with the Act or the rules
thereunder, the Underwriter promptly will prepare and furnish to the
Company for filing with the Commission an amendment or supplement which
will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will
effect such compliance. The Underwriter represents and warrants to the
Company, as of the date of delivery of such amendment or supplement to
the Company, that such amendment or supplement will not include any
untrue statement of a material fact or, when read in conjunction with
the related Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the
Underwriter makes no representation or warranty as to whether any such
amendment or supplement will include any untrue statement resulting
directly from any Mortgage Pool Error (except any Corrected Mortgage
Pool Error, with respect to any such amendment or supplement prepared
after the receipt by the Underwriter from the Company of notice of such
Corrected Mortgage Pool Error or materials superseding or correcting
such Corrected Mortgage Pool Error).
9. Collateral Term Sheets. (a) Prior to the delivery of any
"Collateral Term Sheet" within the meaning of the PSA Letter, the filing of
which material is a condition of the relief granted in such letter (such
material being the "Collateral Term Sheets"), to a prospective investor in any
Offered Certificates, the Underwriter shall, in order to facilitate the timely
filing of such material with the Commission, notify the Company and its counsel
by telephone of its intention to deliver such materials and the approximate date
on which the first such delivery of such materials is expected to occur. Not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the business day immediately following
the date on which any Collateral Term Sheet was first delivered to a prospective
investor in such Offered Certificates, the Underwriter shall deliver to the
Company five complete copies of all materials provided by the Underwriter to
prospective investors in the Offered Certificates that constitute "Collateral
Term Sheets." Each delivery of a Collateral Term Sheet to the Company pursuant
to this paragraph (a) shall be effected by delivering four copies of such
materials to counsel for the Company on behalf of the Company at the address
specified in Section 3 hereof and one copy of such materials to the Company.
(Collateral Term Sheets and Structural Term Sheets are, together, referred to
herein as "ABS Term Sheets.") At the time of each such delivery, the Underwriter
shall indicate in writing that the materials being delivered constitute
Collateral Term Sheets, and, if there has been any prior such delivery with
respect to the related Series, shall indicate whether such materials differ in
any material respect from any Collateral Term Sheets previously delivered to the
Company with respect to such Series pursuant to this Section 9(a) as a result of
the occurrence of a material change in the characteristics of the related
Mortgage Loans.
25
26
(b) The Underwriter represents and warrants to and agrees
with the Company as of the date of the related Terms Agreement and as of
the Closing Date, that:
(i.) The Collateral Term Sheets furnished to the
Company pursuant to Section 9(a) constitute all of the materials
furnished to prospective investors by the Underwriter prior to
time of delivery thereof to the Company that are required to be
filed with the Commission as "Collateral Term Sheets" with
respect to the related Offered Certificates in accordance with
the PSA Letter, and such Collateral Term Sheets comply with the
requirements of the PSA Letter; and
(ii.) On the date any such Collateral Term Sheets
with respect to such Offered Certificates were last furnished to
each prospective investor and on the date of delivery thereof to
the Company pursuant to Section 9(a) and on the related Closing
Date, such Collateral Term Sheets did not and will not include
any untrue statement of a material fact or, when read in
conjunction with the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriter makes no representation or
warranty as to whether any Collateral Term Sheet included or will include any
untrue statement or material omission resulting directly from any Mortgage Pool
Error (except any Corrected Mortgage Pool Error, with respect to materials
prepared after the receipt by the Underwriter from the Company of notice of such
Corrected Mortgage Pool Error or materials superseding or correcting such
Corrected Mortgage Pool Error).
(c) The Underwriter acknowledges and agrees that any
Collateral Term Sheets with respect to any Series of Certificates
furnished to prospective investors from and after the date hereof shall
include a disclaimer in form satisfactory to the Company, and to the
effect that the information contained in such materials supersedes the
information contained in any prior Collateral Term Sheet with respect to
such Series of Offered Certificates and will be superseded by the
description of the related Mortgage Loans in the related Prospectus
Supplement and in the Detailed Description relating to such Prospectus
Supplement to be filed under cover of Form 8-K. The Underwriter agrees
that it will not represent to prospective investors that any Collateral
Term Sheets were prepared or disseminated on behalf of the Company.
(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the
Offered Certificates of a Series is required to be delivered under the
Act, it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the related Prospectus
as a result of an untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Collateral Term Sheets provided by the Underwriter pursuant to this
Section 9 or the omission to state therein a material fact required,
when considered in conjunction with the related Prospectus and
Prospectus Supplement, to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, when read in conjunction with the related Prospectus
and Prospectus Supplement, not misleading, or if it shall be
26
27
necessary to amend or supplement any Current Report relating to any
Collateral Term Sheets to comply with the Act or the rules thereunder,
the Underwriter promptly will prepare and furnish to the Company for
filing with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct
such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such
compliance. The Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company, as
of the date of delivery of such amendment or supplement to the Company,
that such amendment or supplement will not include any untrue statement
of a material fact or, when read in conjunction with the related
Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; provided, however, the Underwriter makes no
representation or warranty as to whether any such amendment or
supplement will include any untrue statement resulting directly from any
Mortgage Pool Error (except any Corrected Mortgage Pool Error, with
respect to any such amendment or supplement prepared after the receipt
by the Underwriter from the Company of notice of such Corrected Mortgage
Pool Error or materials superseding or correcting such Corrected
Mortgage Pool Error).
10. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters
participating in an offering of Certificates default in their obligations to
purchase Certificates hereunder and under the Terms Agreement and the aggregate
principal amount of such Certificates which such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed, but failed, to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total
principal amount of the Certificates set forth in such Terms Agreement, you may
make arrangements satisfactory to the Depositor for the purchase of such
Certificates by other persons, including any of the Underwriters participating
in such offering, but if no such arrangements are made within a period agreed to
by you and the Company after the applicable Closing Date, the non-defaulting
Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective
total commitments hereunder and under such Terms Agreement, to purchase the
Certificate which such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If
any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal amount of
Certificates with respect to which such default or defaults occur is more than
10% of the total principal amount of the Certificates set forth in such Terms
Agreement and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Depositor for the
purchase of such Certificates by other persons are not made within such period
agreed to by you and the Company after such default, this Agreement will
terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the
Company, except as provided in Section 11. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this
Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for
its default.
11. Termination. You, [as Representative of the Underwriters
named in any Terms Agreement,] may also terminate such Terms Agreement,
immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the
applicable Closing Date, (i) if there has been, since the date of such Terms
Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus, any change or any development involving a
prospective change, in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise,
earnings, affairs or business of the Company or the Certificate Trust Fund,
whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, which in your
judgment would materially impair the market for, or the
27
28
investment quality of, the Certificates, or (ii) if there has occurred any
outbreak of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the
financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in your judgment,
impracticable to market the Certificates or enforce contracts for the sale of
the Certificates, or (iii) if trading generally on either the New York Stock
Exchange or the American Stock Exchange has been suspended, or minimum or
maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for
securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the
Commission or any other governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium has
been declared by either federal, New York or California authorities.
12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the
Company or its officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to
this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement will remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter
or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred
to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the related
Offered Certificates. The provisions of Section 7 hereof shall survive the
termination or cancellation of this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement.
13. Successors. This Agreement and the related Terms Agreement
will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and thereto
and their respective successors and the officers, directors and controlling
persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and their successors and assigns, and
no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder or thereunder. No
purchaser of any Offered Certificate from the Underwriter shall be deemed a
successor or assign by reason of such purchase.
14. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATED TERMS
AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.
15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, as supplemented by the related
Terms Agreement, supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and the
related Terms Agreement or any term of each may not be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated except by an affirmative written agreement made by the
party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought. The headings in this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement are
for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof or thereof.
16. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and
