therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in (1) the Preliminary Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (2) any other Time of Sale Information, (3) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (4) any Issuer Information contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of clause (2) through (4) above, when read in conjunction with the other Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue statement or omission was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Time of Sale (or in the case of any Corrective Information correcting information in the Preliminary Prospectus (as amended or supplemented), at least 48 hours (but, in any event, no less than one (1) Business Day) prior to the date of the Time of Sale) and, if such Corrective Information was so delivered, the subject loss, expenses, claim, damage or liability would not have resulted but for the fact that such Underwriter sold Publicly Offered Certificates to the person asserting such loss, expenses, claim, damage or liability without delivering to such person such Corrective Information prior to the Time of Sale; or (iv) any breach of the representation and warranty in Section 1(x) or Section 1(y); provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability is caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission with respect to any Underwriter Information or Other Transaction Participant Information.
(b) Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or its affiliates, directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, but only insofar as such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact, or omissions or alleged omissions to state 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, in the Underwriter Information with respect to such Underwriter; and (ii) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter or omission or alleged omission to state in such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless the Company to the extent such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission with respect to any Issuer Information, or (B) information (other than the Underwriter Information) that is also contained in the Time of Sale Information.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
| -21- |
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection (a) or (b), as the case may be, except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will be relieved of its indemnification obligation only to the extent of any loss caused by the indemnified party’s failure to provide notice) and in no event relieves it of liability it may otherwise have to any indemnified party. Upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying 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 as incurred. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, 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 the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and other than under the circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the next sentence. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to designate within a reasonable period of time counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (in which case the fees and expenses shall be paid as incurred by the indemnifying party). In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). However, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel for which the indemnifying party is obligated under this Section 8(c), 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. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of
| -22- |
any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require or contain a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party, without the consent of the indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) above in respect of any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates subject to this Agreement. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 8(c) of this Agreement, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates to the Underwriters (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting fees, discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. 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 Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purposes) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute or deemed to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total fees, purchase discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates exceeds the amount of damages that 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligation under this Section 8(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
| -23- |
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each affiliate, officer and director of any Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of each Underwriter under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each affiliate, officer and director of the Company and to each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(f) The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, expenses, claims, damages or other liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred at the request of the indemnified party. In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment.
(g) The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Underwriters as set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigations (or any statements as to the results thereof) made in connection with the issuance of the Publicly Offered Certificates by or on behalf of the Underwriters or any officer or director or controlling person of an Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Company and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Publicly Offered Certificates. The provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement and the indemnity and contribution agreements in this Section 8 shall survive the termination and cancellation of this Agreement.
(h) Each Underwriter (the “Indemnifying Underwriter”) will indemnify and hold harmless the other Underwriters, each affiliate, officer and director of any such other Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any such other Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (such indemnified parties, individually and collectively, the “Non-Indemnifying Underwriter”) from and against any and all losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Non-Indemnifying Underwriter becomes subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, common law or otherwise insofar as such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities, (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the Time of Sale, contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by such Indemnifying Underwriter, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter contained in the Underwriter Information or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter or necessary to make the statements therein regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
| -24- |
made, not misleading, or (iii) the failure of such Indemnifying Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of Section 11 of this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse such Non-Indemnifying Underwriter, as incurred for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, except to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Time of Sale (or in the case of any Corrected Supplement, at least 48 hours (but, in any event, no less than one (1) Business Day) prior to the date of the Time of Sale), or in any Other Transaction Participant Information. This agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.
9. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase Publicly Offered Certificates which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for any of them or another party or other parties to purchase such Certificates on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Certificates, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Certificates on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the non-defaulting Underwriters notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Certificates, or the Company notifies the non-defaulting Underwriters that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Certificates, the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the non-defaulting Underwriters may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Certificates.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Publicly Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in Section 9(a) of this Agreement, the aggregate principal balance of such Publicly Offered Certificates which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal balance of all the Publicly Offered Certificates, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal balance of Publicly Offered Certificates which such non-defaulting Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal balance of Publicly Offered Certificates which such non-defaulting Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Publicly Offered Certificates of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Publicly Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting
| -25- |
Underwriters and the Company as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 9, the aggregate principal balance of such Publicly Offered Certificates which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal balance of all the Publicly Offered Certificates, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) of this Section 9 to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Publicly Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 8 of this Agreement; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
10. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, the Company shall not be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 of this Agreement; but if for any reason the Publicly Offered Certificates are not delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee as provided herein, other than by several Underwriters’ failure to comply with its obligations hereunder, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Publicly Offered Certificates, but the Company shall be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Certificates except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 of this Agreement.
11. (a) The Underwriters may prepare and provide to prospective investors Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below), or portions thereof, which the Company is required to file with the Commission in electronic format and will use reasonable efforts to provide to the Company such Free Writing Prospectuses, or portions thereof, in either Microsoft Word® or Microsoft Excel® format and not in a PDF, except to the extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, waives such requirements, subject to the following conditions (to which such conditions each Underwriter agrees (provided that no Underwriter shall be responsible for any breach of the following conditions by any other Underwriter)):
(i) Unless preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus, the Underwriters shall not convey or deliver any written communication to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates, unless such written communication (1) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (2) is made in reliance on Rule 172 under the Securities Act, (3) is the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or (4) constitutes a Free Writing Prospectus that does not constitute Time of Sale Information. The Underwriters shall not convey or deliver in connection with the initial offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates any materials in reliance on any “ABS informational and computational material,” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Securities Act (“ABS Informational and Computational Material”), in reliance upon Rules 167 and 426 under the Securities Act.
(ii) Each Underwriter shall deliver to the Company, no later than two business days prior to the date of first use thereof or such later date as may be agreed to by the Company that allows the Company to satisfy the requirements of Rule 433 under the Securities Act, (a) any Free Writing Prospectus that was prepared by or on behalf of such
| -26- |
Underwriter (an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”) and that contains any “issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act and footnote 271 of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591 (“Issuer Information”) (which the parties hereto agree includes, without limitation, Mortgage Loan Seller Information), and (b) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that contains only a description of the final terms of the Publicly Offered Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Free Writing Prospectus that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Materials may be delivered by an Underwriter to the Company not later than the later of (A) two business days prior to the due date for filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or such later date as may be agreed to by the Company or (B) the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus.
(iii) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that the Free Writing Prospectuses to be furnished to the Company by such Underwriter pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of this Agreement will constitute all Free Writing Prospectuses of the type described therein that were furnished to prospective investors by such Underwriter in connection with its offer and sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates.
(iv) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that each Free Writing Prospectus required to be provided by it to the Company pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of this Agreement did not, as of the Time of Sale, and will not as of the Closing Date, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided however, that such Underwriter makes no representation to the extent such misstatements or omissions were the result of any inaccurate Issuer Information or Other Transaction Participant Information, which information was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company or any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter within a reasonable period of time prior to the Time of Sale.
(v) The Company agrees to file with the Commission the following:
(A) Any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus;
(B) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof delivered by any Underwriter to the Company pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of this Agreement;
(C) Any Free Writing Prospectus for which the Company or any person acting on its behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Company or any other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating communications; and
(D) Any ABS Informational and Computational Material that is not being treated as a Free Writing Prospectus.

(vi) Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 11(a)(v)(C) of this Agreement by the Company shall be filed with the Commission not later than the date of first use of the Free Writing Prospectus, except that:
(A) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to be filed that contains only the description of the final terms of the Publicly Offered Certificates shall be filed by the Company with the Commission within two days of the later of the date such final terms have been established for all classes of Publicly Offered Certificates and the date of first use;
(B) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to be filed that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Material shall be filed by the Company with the Commission not later than the later of the due date for filing the Prospectus relating to the Publicly Offered Certificates pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and two business days after the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus; and
(C) Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 11(a)(v)(C) of this Agreement shall, if no payment has been made or consideration has been given by or on behalf of the Company for such Free Writing Prospectus or its dissemination, be filed by the Company with the Commission not later than four business days after the Company becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of such Free Writing Prospectus.
(vii) Each Underwriter (with the reasonable cooperation of the Company) shall file with the Commission, or provide to the Company at least 2 Business Days prior to the time such filing is required (and the Company shall file with the Commission), any Free Writing Prospectus (other than a Free Writing Prospectus required to be delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of this Agreement) that is neither an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus nor contains Issuer Information and that is used or referred to by it and distributed by or on behalf of such Underwriter in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad, unrestricted dissemination not later than the date of the first use of such Free Writing Prospectus.
(viii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11(a)(vii) of this Agreement, each Underwriter shall file, or cause to be filed, with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectus for which such Underwriter or any person acting on its behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Company or any other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating written communications and for which no payment was made or consideration given by or on behalf of the Company or any other offering participant, not later than four business days after such Underwriter becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of such Free Writing Prospectus.
(ix) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11(a)(v) (other than Section 11(a)(v)(C)), 11(a)(vii) and 11(a)(viii) of this Agreement: (A) neither the
| -28- |
Company nor any Underwriter shall be required to file (1) any Free Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission, (2) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof that contains a description of the Publicly Offered Certificates or the offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates which does not reflect the final terms thereof or (3) any Issuer Information contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus of any other offering participant other than the Company, if such information is included or incorporated by reference in a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission that relates to the offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates; and (B) no Underwriter shall be required to file any Free Writing Prospectus to the extent that the information contained therein is included in a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus previously filed that relates to the offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates.
(x) The Company and the Underwriters each agree that any Free Writing Prospectuses prepared by it shall contain the following legend, or substantially equivalent legend that complies with Rule 433 of the Securities Act:
The depositor has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the depositor has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the depositor, the issuing trust, and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting XXXXX on the SEC Web site at xxx.xxx.xxx. Alternatively, the depositor, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling toll-free 0-000-000-0000.
(xi) In the event that the Company becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, the Preliminary Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company shall (i) notify the Underwriters thereof within one business day after discovery, (ii) prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Preliminary Prospectus and that meets the requirements of Rule 424(h)(2) under the Securities Act (such supplement, a “Corrected Supplement”) and (iii) file such Corrected Supplement with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the Securities Act. Upon receipt of such notice from the Company, the Underwriters shall:
(A) Notify each investor in the Publicly Offered Certificates in a prompt fashion that any prior contract of sale with such investor has been terminated, and of such investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement;
(B) Upon receipt of a copy of such Corrected Supplement from the Company, deliver, at least 48 hours prior to sending a new confirmation of sale to
| -29- |
an investor in the Publicly Offered Certificates in accordance with Rule 15c2-8(b) under the Exchange Act, such Corrected Supplement to such investor;
(C) Provide such investor with an opportunity to enter into a new contract of sale on the terms described in the Time of Sale Information (as updated by such Corrected Supplement); and
(D) Comply with any other requirements for reformation of the original contract of sale, as described in Section IV.A.2.c of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.
(xii) The Company and each Underwriter agree to retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that they have used and that are not required to be filed pursuant to this Section 11 for a period of three years following the initial bona fide offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates.
(xiii) (A) In the event that the Company becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), the Company shall notify the Underwriters of such untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery and the Company shall, if requested by the Underwriters, prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”).
(B) In the event that any Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered to an investor in any Publicly Offered Certificates contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (together with a Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Free Writing Prospectus”), such Underwriter shall notify the Company of such untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery.
(C) The Underwriters shall, if requested by the Company:
(1) if the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, prepare a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement in or omission from the Defective Free Writing Prospectus (together with a Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Free Writing Prospectus”);
(2) either (i) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor which received the Defective Free Writing
| -30- |
Prospectus prior to entering into a contract of sale with such investor, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information, or (ii) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor that received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus and has entered into a contract of sale, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information;
(3) notify such investor in a prominent fashion that the prior contract of sale with the investor has been terminated, and of the investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement;
(4) provide such investor with an opportunity to affirmatively agree to purchase the Publicly Offered Certificates on the terms described in the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus; and
(5) comply with any other requirements for reformation of the original contract of sale with such investor, as described in Section IV.A.2.c of Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.
(D) In the event that the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and the Underwriters shall in good faith incur any costs to an investor in connection with the reformation of the contract of sale with the investor, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for such costs; provided that, before incurring such costs, the Underwriters first permit the Company access to the applicable investor and an opportunity to attempt to mitigate such costs through direct negotiation with such investor.
(xiv) Each Underwriter covenants with the Company that after the Prospectus is available such Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Publicly Offered Certificates to a prospective investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus.
12. (a) Any Underwriter may terminate its obligations under this Agreement by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Time of Delivery if the sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates provided for herein is not consummated because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Publicly Offered Certificates shall be terminable by the Underwriters if at any time on or prior to the Time of Delivery: (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company or the Trust Fund which, in the judgment of the Underwriters, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for the Publicly Offered Certificates; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any of the Publicly Offered Certificates by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined under the Exchange Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has
| -31- |
under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Publicly Offered Certificates (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls as would, in the judgment of the Underwriters, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Publicly Offered Certificates, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or any over-the-counter market, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange or market, or any suspension of trading of any Publicly Offered Certificates on any relevant exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (v) any general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by any Federal or New York State authorities; (vi) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States; or (vii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Underwriters, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of any payment for the Publicly Offered Certificates.
(c) If any Underwriter terminates its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse such Underwriter for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates.

THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND
| -33- |
THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(d) After a BHC Act Affiliate of the Company has become subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, if an Underwriter seeks to exercise any Default Right with respect to this Agreement or any Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement, such Underwriter shall have the burden
