Ladies and Gentlemen:

Section 1. Introductory. Capital One Multi-asset Execution Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”), and Capital One Funding, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Company”), as beneficiary (the “Beneficiary”) of the Issuer, propose to sell the notes of the series, classes and tranches designated in the applicable Terms Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of October 9, 2002, as supplemented by the Asset Pool Supplement, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document having the date stated in the applicable Terms Agreement (as so supplemented and as otherwise modified or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”). The Issuer is operated pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2002 (as modified or amended from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), between the Company, as Beneficiary and as transferor (in such capacity, the “Transferor”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, a Delaware banking corporation, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”).

The Notes will be secured by certain assets of the Issuer, including the Collateral Certificate referred to below (collectively, the “Collateral”).

Capital One Bank, a Virginia banking corporation (the “Bank” and the “Seller”), has entered into a receivables purchase agreement, dated as of August 1, 2002 (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) with the Company under which the Bank will sell receivables (the “Receivables”) generated from time to time in certain designated consumer revolving credit card accounts (the “Accounts”), collections thereon and certain related property to the Company. The Company has conveyed the Receivables, collections thereon and certain related property to the Capital One Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 30, 1993, as amended and restated as of August 1, 2002 and January 13, 2006 (as so amended and restated and as otherwise modified or amended from time to time, the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), as supplemented by the Series 2002-CC Supplement (the “Series Supplement”), dated as of October 9, 2002, among the Company, as Transferor (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Bank, as servicer (the “Servicer”), and The Bank of New York, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Master Trust Trustee”). References herein to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise specified, shall mean the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as supplemented by the Series Supplement. Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement, the Company has caused the Master Trust to issue to the Issuer a collateral certificate (the “Collateral Certificate”). The Collateral Certificate is a series certificate under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that represents undivided interests in certain assets of the Master Trust.

The Notes designated in the applicable Terms Agreement will be sold in a public offering by the Issuer through Banc of America Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as underwriters, or through certain underwriters which include Banc of America Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, one or more of which may, with Banc of America Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, act as the representatives of such underwriters listed on Schedule I to the applicable Terms Agreement (any underwriter through which Notes are sold shall be referred to herein as an “Underwriter” or, collectively, all such Underwriters may be referred to as the “Underwriters”; each representative thereof may be referred to herein together as a or the “Representative”, or if there is more than one Representative, collectively all such Representatives may be referred to herein together as the “Representatives”, which, if the context herein does require, shall include Banc of America Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, in their capacity as Underwriter of any Notes or as Representative). Notes sold to the Underwriters for which Banc of America Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC are the Representatives shall be sold pursuant to a Terms Agreement, among the Issuer, the Company, the Seller and the Representatives, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Terms Agreement”), which incorporates by reference this Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement,” which shall include the applicable Terms Agreement if the context so requires). To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Unless otherwise stated herein or in the applicable Terms Agreement, as the context otherwise requires or if such term is otherwise defined in the Indenture or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each capitalized term used or defined herein or in the applicable Terms Agreement shall relate only to the Notes designated in the applicable Terms Agreement and no other series, class or tranches of notes issued by the Issuer.

The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (having the registration number stated in the applicable Terms Agreement), including a form of prospectus, relating to the Notes and the Collateral Certificate. The registration statement as amended has been declared effective by the Commission. If any post-effective amendment has been filed with respect thereto, prior to the execution and delivery of the applicable Terms Agreement, the most recent such amendment has been declared effective by the Commission. Such registration statement, as amended at the time of effectiveness, including all material incorporated by reference therein and including all information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Registration Statement.” The Company proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (“Rule 424(b)”) of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “Rules and Regulations”) under the Act a supplement (together with static pool information (the “Static Pool Information”) required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 1105 of Regulation AB under the Act, without regard to whether such information is deemed to be a part of a prospectus under Item 1105(d) of Regulation AB under the Act, the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (such prospectus, in the form it appears in the Registration Statement or in the form most recently revised and filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus”) relating to the Notes and the method of distribution thereof. The Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, together with any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.”

Prior to the time the first contract of sale for the Notes designated in the applicable Terms Agreement is entered into, as set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement (the “Time of Sale”), the Company will prepare a preliminary Prospectus, dated October 11, 2007 (subject to completion). As used herein, “Preliminary Prospectus” means, with respect to any date or time referred to herein, the most recent preliminary Prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if applicable, together with the Static Pool Information), which has been prepared and delivered by the Company to the Underwriters in accordance to the provisions hereof.

Pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement, and subject to the terms hereof and thereof, the Company agrees to cause the Issuer to sell to the Underwriters named in such Terms Agreement the Notes identified in such Terms Agreement.

(b) If, at any time when a Preliminary Prospectus or a Prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be delivered under the Act (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the Act), any event occurs as a result of which the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Rules and Regulations, the Company and the Issuer will promptly prepare and (subject to review and no reasonable objection by the Representatives as described in Section 7(a) of this Agreement) file with the Commission, an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or an amendment that will effect such compliance; provided, however, that the Representatives’ consent to any amendment shall not constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Section 8 of this Agreement.

(c) The Company will cause the Issuer to make generally available to the holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”) (the sole Noteholder being the applicable clearing agency in the case of Book-Entry Notes), in each case as soon as practicable, a statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11 (a) of the Act and Rule 158 of the Commission with respect to the Notes.

(d) The Company and the Issuer will furnish to the Representatives an electronic copy of each of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available.

(f) If filing of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus is required under Rule 424(b) of the Commission, the Company and the Issuer will file the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement

thereto, pursuant to Rule 424(b) within the prescribed time period and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. If received in a timely manner in compliance with Section 17(b)(iii) of this Agreement, the Company and the Issuer will file with the Commission any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus to the extent such filing is required by Rule 433(d) of the Act.

(g) The Company and the Issuer will cause the Indenture to be qualified pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

(v) To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, without independent investigation, there are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened against the Indenture Trustee before any court, administrative agency or tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of the Notes or the Indenture, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Notes or the Indenture or (C) that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Notes or the Indenture.

(vi) The execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of the Indenture will not violate any provisions of any law or regulation governing the banking and trust powers of the Indenture Trustee. Such execution, delivery and performance will not require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or

(o) The Notes shall be rated at the time of issuance in the rating category set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement and shall not have been placed on any credit watch with a negative implication for downgrade.

(p) The Representatives shall have received such information, certificates and documents as the Representatives and their counsel may reasonably request.

(q) All actions required to be taken and all filings required to be made by the Company or the Issuer under the Act before the Closing Date for the Notes shall have been duly taken or made; and before the applicable Closing Date, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Issuer, threatened by the Commission.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 8 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions or certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and their counsel, this Agreement and all its obligations hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time before, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Issuer and the Company in writing or by telephone or telecopy confirmed in writing.

Section 9. Expenses.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Issuer, jointly and severally, will pay all expenses incidental to the performance of their obligations, or the obligations of the Seller, under this Agreement and will reimburse each Underwriter for any expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with qualification of the Notes and determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate (including reasonable fees and disbursements of their counsel) and the printing of memoranda relating thereto, for any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Notes and for expenses incurred in preparing and distributing electronic copies of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the Underwriters; provided, however, that each Underwriter will pay all of its own costs and expenses in connection with obtaining one or more printed copies of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplement to such documents from the applicable financial printer (which may include the printing facilities of such Underwriter). Except as specifically provided in this Section and in Section 10 of this Agreement, each Underwriter will pay all of its own costs and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), transfer taxes on

resales of Notes by it and any advertising expenses connected with any offers it may make.

(b) If the sale of the Notes provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company, the Issuer or the Seller to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any Underwriter or because of any breach of a representation or warranty herein on the part of the Company, the Issuer or the Seller, the Company, the Issuer or the Seller, as applicable, will reimburse the Underwriters upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the proposed purchase, sale and offering of the Notes.

Section 10. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Issuer, the Company and the Seller, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and the respective officers, directors and employees of each such person, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or such controlling person may become subject, under the Act, 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 or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus (it being understood that such indemnification with respect to the Preliminary Prospectus does not include the omission of pricing and price-dependent information, which information shall of necessity appear only in the final Prospectus), the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 not misleading; and will reimburse each Underwriter and each such officer, director, employee or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by each Underwriter and each such officer, director, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Seller, the Company and the Issuer 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 in or omission or alleged omission made in any such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer, the Company or the Seller by any Underwriter specifically for use therein (as described in Section 10(b) below). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Issuer, the Company and the Seller may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Company and the Seller against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuer, the Company or the Seller may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or

liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 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 in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer, the Company and the Seller by such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein and (ii) with regard to any investor with whom an Underwriter enters into a contract of sale for the Notes prior to the filing of the final Prospectus, the failure upon the part of such Underwriter to convey (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Act) the Preliminary Prospectus to such investor at or prior to the time of the contract of sale for such Notes, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuer, the Company or the Seller in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). The Issuer, the Company and the Seller agree with each Underwriter that the only information furnished to the Issuer, the Company and the Seller by the Underwriters specifically for use in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Free Writing Prospectus is the information relating to the Underwriters and the underwriting of the Notes under the heading “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Company and the Seller against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuer, the Company or the Seller may become subject, under the Act, 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 or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, 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 not misleading, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuer, the Company or the Seller in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that no Underwriter will 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 in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with (i) any written information furnished to the related Underwriter by the Company, the Issuer or the Seller expressly for use therein or (ii) the Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, which information was not corrected by information subsequently provided by the Company, the Issuer or the Seller to the related Underwriter prior to the time of use of such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 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 clause (a), (b) or (c), notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 10, except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the omission and/or delay so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under clause (a), (b) or (c). 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, to the extent that it may elect by written notice, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and the appointment of satisfactory counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the defendants in any 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 that 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 at the expense of the indemnifying party, subject to the approval of the indemnifying party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action 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 any claims that are the subject matter of such action. 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 any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under this Section 10, then such indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in this Section, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer, the Company and the Seller on the one hand and the relevant Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Issuer, the Company and the Seller on the one hand and the relevant Underwriter 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. The relative

benefits received by the Issuer, the Company and the Seller on the one hand and the relevant Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer or the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the relevant Underwriter. The relative fault 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 Issuer, the Company or the Seller or by any Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this clause (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this clause (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by it in connection with such Notes underwritten by it exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligation of each Underwriter under this Section 10(e) shall be several and not joint.

(f) The obligations of the indemnifying party under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the indemnifying party may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the indemnified party within the meaning of the Act.

Section 11. Survival of Representations and Obligations. The respective agreements, representations, warranties and other statements made by the Issuer, the Company or the Seller or their respective officers, including any such agreements, representations, warranties and other statements relating to the Master Trust, and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, the Issuer, the Company or the Seller or any of their respective officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment of the Notes. The provisions of Section 9 and Section 10 of this Agreement shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

Section 12. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if to the Representatives or the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telecopied and confirmed to the address for the Representatives set forth on the first page hereof, and (a) if to the Issuer, will be mailed, delivered or telecopied and confirmed to E.A.

Section 13. Applicable Law, Entire Agreement. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 14. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 10 hereof, and their successors and assigns, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

Section 15. Waivers; Headings. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 16. Termination of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Notes on the Closing Date shall be terminable by the Representatives by written notice delivered to the Issuer and the Company if at any time on or before the Closing Date (a) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, or there shall have been any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange, (b) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or Virginia shall have been declared by any of Federal, New York state or Virginia state authorities, (c) there shall have occurred any material outbreak or escalation 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 the Representatives’ reasonable judgment, impracticable to market the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus or (d) any change or any development involving a prospective change, materially and adversely affecting (i) the Trust Assets taken as a whole or (ii) the business or properties of the Issuer, the Company or the Seller occurs, which, in the Representatives’ reasonable judgment, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), makes it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. Upon such notice being given, the parties to this Agreement shall (except for the liability of the Issuer, the Company and the Seller under Section 9 and Section 10 of this Agreement and the liability of each Underwriter under Section 17 of this Agreement) be released and discharged from their respective obligations under this Agreement.

Section 17. Offering Communications.

(a) Other than the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, each Underwriter severally represents, warrants and agrees with the Company, the Issuer and the Seller that it has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, including, but not limited to any “ABS informational and

computational materials” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Act unless such Underwriter has obtained the prior written approval of the Company, the Issuer and the Seller; provided, however, each Underwriter may prepare and convey to one or more of its potential investors one or more “written communications” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) containing no more than the following: information contemplated by Rule 134 under the Act and included or to be included in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as well as a column or other entry showing the status of the subscriptions for the Notes and/or expected pricing parameters of the Notes (each such written communication, an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”).

(b) Each Underwriter severally represents, warrants and agrees with the Company, the Issuer and the Seller that:

(i) each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it will not, as of the date such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus was conveyed or delivered to any prospective purchaser of Notes, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no Underwriter makes such representation, warranty or agreement to the extent such misstatements or omissions were the result of any inaccurate information which was included in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any written information furnished to the related Underwriter by the Company, the Issuer or the Seller expressly for use therein, which information was not corrected by information subsequently provided by the Company, the Issuer or the Seller to the related Underwriter prior to the time of use of such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus;

(ii) each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it shall contain a legend substantially in the form of and in compliance with Rule 433(c)(2)(i) of the Act, and shall otherwise conform to any requirements for “free writing prospectuses” under the Act;

(iii) each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it shall be delivered to the Company, the Issuer and the Seller no later than the time of first use and, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, the Issuer, the Seller and the related Underwriter, such delivery shall occur no later than the close of business for the Bank (Eastern Time) on the date of first use; provided, however, if the date of first use is not a Business Day, such delivery shall occur no later than the close of business for the Bank (Eastern Time) on the first Business Day preceding such date of first use.

(c) Each Underwriter severally represents and agrees (i) that it did not enter into any contract of sale for any Notes prior to the Time of Sale and (ii) that it will, at any time that such Underwriter is acting as an “underwriter” (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Act) with respect to the Notes, (A) convey to each investor to whom

Notes are sold by it during the period prior to the filing of the final Prospectus (as notified to the Underwriters by the Company), at or prior to the applicable time of any such contract of sale with respect to such investor, the Preliminary Prospectus and (B) comply with Rule 173 of the Act, including, but not limited to (I) by delivering to each investor to whom Notes are sold by it no later than two Business Days following the completion of such sale (i.e., the date of settlement), a copy of the final Prospectus or a notice to the effect that such sale was made pursuant to the Registration Statement and (II) if only a notice has been sent pursuant to the foregoing clause (I), by delivering to any investor to whom Notes are sold by it, upon request of such investor, a copy of the final Prospectus.

Section 18. Representation of Underwriters. The Representatives will act for the several Underwriters in connection with this financing, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representatives will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

Section 19. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Notes 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 to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in the applicable Terms Agreement bears to the aggregate amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth in Schedule I to the applicable Terms Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Notes, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Issuer, the Company or the Seller. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 19, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, as is mutually agreeable to the Issuer, the Company and the Seller and the Representatives (with all parties hereto agreeing that time is of the essence), in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any supplements thereto) 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 Issuer, the Company and the Seller and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

Section 20. Arm’s Length Business Transactions. The Issuer, the Company and the Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Issuer, the Company and the Seller, on the one hand, and the each of the Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith with respect to all aspects of the transaction contemplated herein, each Underwriter is acting as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Issuer, the Company and the Seller and the Company and the Seller hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary relationship with respect thereto, and (iii) none of the Underwriters has assumed an advisory responsibility in favor of the Issuer, the Company or the Seller with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto

(irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Issuer, the Company or the Seller on other matters) or any other obligation to the Issuer, the Company or the Seller except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement.

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign a counterpart hereof and return it to the Company, whereupon this letter and your acceptance shall become a binding agreement among the Issuer, the Company, the Seller and the Underwriters.
