Dear Sirs:
Asset Backed Funding Corporation (the "Company"), proposes to sell to
the underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (collectively, the "Underwriters"
and each, an "Underwriter") the principal amount of the ABFC Mortgage Loan
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2002-WF2, identified in Schedule I hereto (the
"Securities"), to be issued under a pooling and servicing agreement (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement") to be dated September 1, 2002, among the
Company, as depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Home Mortgage, Inc., as servicer and
originator (referred to herein as the "Servicer"), Wachovia Bank, National
Association, as trustee (the "Trustee") and Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as securities administrator (the "Securities Administrator").
Each class of Securities listed in Schedule I hereto will represent an
undivided beneficial ownership interest in the ABFC 2002-WF2 Trust (the
"Trust"). The assets of the Trust will include, among other things, a pool of
conventional fixed and adjustable rate one-to-four-family first-lien residential
mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") transferred to the Company pursuant to a
mortgage loan purchase agreement to be dated September 26, 2002 (the "Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement"), between Banc of America Mortgage Capital Corporation
("BAMCC") and the Company, and by the Company to the Trust pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This Underwriting Agreement shall hereinafter
be referred to as the "Agreement." This Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are collectively hereinafter
referred to as the "Basic Documents." Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants
to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:
(a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement
on such Form (the file number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto), which
has been declared effective by the Commission, for the registration under the
Act of the Securities. Such registration statement, as amended to the date of
this Agreement, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1) under the Act
and complies in all other material respects with said Rule. The Company proposes
to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act a supplement to
the form of prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the
Securities and the plan of distribution thereof and has previously advised the
Underwriters of all further information (financial and other) with respect to
the Company to be set forth therein. Such registration statement, including the
exhibits thereto, as amended to the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter
called the "Registration Statement"; such prospectus in the form in which it
appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter called the "Basic
Prospectus"; and such supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it
shall be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (including the Basic
Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the "Final Prospectus." Any
reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus or the
Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents
incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Basic
Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein
to the terms "amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the
Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be
deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act
after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus or
the Final Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein
by reference pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act.
(b) As of the date hereof, when the Final Prospectus is first filed
pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, when, prior to the Closing Date (as
hereinafter defined), any amendment to the Registration Statement becomes
effective (including the filing of any document incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement), when any supplement to the Final Prospectus is filed
with the Commission and at the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), (i) the
Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, and the Final
Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, will comply in all
material respects with the requirements of the Act and the respective rules and
regulations thereunder, (ii) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any
such time, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein not misleading, and (iii) the Final Prospectus, as
amended or supplemented as of any such time, will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to (A) the
information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final
Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and
in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on
behalf of any Underwriter specifically for use in connection with the
preparation of the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or (B) the
Current Report (as defined in Section 5(b) below), or in any amendment thereof
or supplement thereto, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto).
-2-
(c) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing
as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and
has corporate and other power and authority to own its properties and conduct
its business, as now conducted by it, and to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.
(d) The Company is not aware of (i) any request by the Commission
for any further amendment of the Registration Statement or the Basic Prospectus
or for any additional information or (ii) the issuance by the Commission of any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose.
(e) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the Company, and the other Basic Documents, when delivered by the Company,
will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and will
constitute a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject, as to the enforcement
of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
receivership and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether the enforcement of such
remedies is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except as
rights to indemnity and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or
state securities laws or principles of public policy.
2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions and in
reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company
agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally but
not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the purchase price set forth in
Schedule II hereto, the principal amount or percentage interest of the
Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name therein.
3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Securities
shall be made at the office, on the date and at the time specified in Schedule I
hereto, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the
Underwriters and the Company or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and
time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the "Closing
Date"). Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the Underwriters for their
respective accounts against payment by the Underwriters of the purchase price
thereof in the manner set forth in Schedule II hereto. If Schedule I indicates
that the Securities are to be issued in book-entry form, delivery of the
Securities shall be made through the facilities of the depository or
depositories set forth on Schedule I. Alternatively, certificates for the
Securities shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the
Underwriters may request not less than three full business days in advance of
the Closing Date.
The Company agrees to have the Securities available for inspection,
checking and packaging by the Underwriters in New York, New York, not later than
1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Closing Date.
4. Offering by the Underwriters. It is understood by the parties hereto
that, after the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Underwriters
propose to offer the Securities for sale to the public (which may include
selected dealers) as set forth in the Final Prospectus.
-3-
5. Agreements. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:
(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the
Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement
(including the Final Prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus unless the Company has
furnished to each Underwriter a copy for its review prior to filing and will not
file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which such Underwriter
reasonably objects. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will cause
the Final Prospectus to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424. The
Company will advise the Underwriters promptly (i) when the Final Prospectus
shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424, (ii) when any
amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the Securities shall have
become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of
the Registration Statement or amendment of or supplement to the Final Prospectus
or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation
or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain
as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(b) The Company will use its best efforts to cause any Computational
Materials, Collateral Term Sheets and ABS Term Sheets (each as defined in
Section 10 below) with respect to the Securities which are delivered by the
Underwriters to the Company pursuant to Section 10 to be filed with the
Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Current Report") pursuant to
Rule 13a-11 under the Exchange Act not later than the business day immediately
following the day on which such Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets
or ABS Term Sheets are delivered to counsel for the Company by the Underwriters
as provided in Section 10, and will promptly advise the Underwriters when such
Current Report has been so filed. Such Current Report shall be incorporated by
reference in the Final Prospectus and the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, the Company shall have no
obligation to file materials provided by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 10
which, in the reasonable determination of the Company after making reasonable
efforts to consult with the Underwriters, are not required to be filed pursuant
to the No-Action Letters (as defined in Section 10 below), or which contain
erroneous information or contain any untrue statement of a material fact or,
which, when read in conjunction with the Final Prospectus, omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; it being understood, however, that the Company shall
have no obligation to review or pass upon the accuracy or adequacy of, or to
correct, any Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or ABS Term Sheets
provided by the Underwriters to the Company pursuant to Section 10 hereof.
-4-
(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is
required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which
the Final 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 shall be necessary to amend or supplement the
Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective
rules thereunder, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the
Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an
amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an
amendment which will effect such compliance and will use its best efforts to
cause any required post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
containing such amendment to be made effective as soon as possible; provided,
however, that the Company will not be required to file any such amendment or
supplement with respect to any Computational Materials incorporated by reference
in the Final Prospectus other than any amendments or supplements of such
Computational Materials that are furnished to the Company pursuant to Section
10(d) hereof which the Company determines to file in accordance therewith.
(d) The Company will furnish to the Underwriters and counsel for the
Underwriters, without charge, executed copies of the Registration Statement
(including exhibits thereto) and each amendment thereto which shall become
effective on or prior to the Closing Date and, so long as delivery of a
prospectus by the Underwriters or dealer may be required by the Act, as many
copies of the Final Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements
thereto (other than exhibits to the related Current Report) as the Underwriters
may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing all
documents relating to the initial offering, provided that any additional
expenses incurred in connection with the requirement of delivery of a
market-making prospectus, if required, will be borne by Banc of America
Securities LLC.
(e) The Company will furnish such information as may be required and
otherwise cooperate in qualifying the Securities for sale under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Underwriters may reasonably designate and to maintain such
qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the
Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take
any action which would subject it to general or unlimited service of process in
any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
(f) The Company will pay all expenses (other than fees of counsel
for the Underwriters, except as provided herein) incident to the performance of
the obligations under this Underwriting Agreement, including:
(i) the word processing, printing and filing of the Registration
Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto;
(ii) the reproduction of this Underwriting Agreement;
(iii) the preparation, printing, issuance and delivery of the
Securities to the Underwriters;

preparation of a blue sky survey, if requested by the Underwriters;

(vi) if requested by the Underwriters, the determination of the
eligibility of the Securities for investment and the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection
therewith and in connection with the preparation of a legal investment
memorandum;
(vii) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of
the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment
thereto, of the preliminary prospectuses, and of the Basic Prospectus
and Final Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto;

delivery to the Underwriters of copies of any blue sky or legal
investment memorandum;

(x) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicer and their counsel.
6. Conditions Precedent to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to
the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company
contained herein as of the date hereof, as of the date of the effectiveness of
any amendment to the Registration Statement filed prior to the Closing Date
(including the filing of any document incorporated by reference therein) and as
of the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in
any certificates delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance
by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional
conditions:
(a) The Underwriters shall have received from Deloitte & Touche LLP

(c) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development involving a
prospective change, in or affecting particularly the business or properties of
the Company or the Servicer which, in the reasonable judgment of the
Underwriters, materially impairs the investment quality of the Securities; (ii)
any downgrading in the rating of the securities of the Company by any
"nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as such term is defined
for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act), or any public announcement that any
such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any securities
of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a

rating); (iii) any suspension or limitation of trading in securities generally
on the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on

such outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it
impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the sale of and payment
for the Securities.

information is correct in all material respects; and (ii) assuming compliance
with all of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
applicable portions of the Trust will qualify as one or more REMICs, and the
portion of the Trust exclusive of such REMICs will constitute a grantor trust,
pursuant to Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") for

-8-
All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or

If any condition specified in this Section 6 shall not have been
fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated
by the Underwriters by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the
Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to
any other party except as provided in Section 7 hereof.
7. Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses. If the sale of the
Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the
obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied
or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to
perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by
reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the
Underwriters severally upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably
incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the
Securities.
8. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter and each person who controls each Underwriter within the meaning of
either 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 for the registration of the Securities
as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic Prospectus or
the Final Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or
arise out of or are based upon an omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, and agree 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 by or on behalf of any 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 results (or is alleged
to have resulted) directly from an error (a "Collateral Error") in the
information concerning the Mortgage Loans furnished by the Company to any
Underwriter in writing or by electronic transmission that was used in the
preparation of any Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or ABS Term
Sheets included in such Current Report (or amendment or supplement thereof),
(ii) such indemnity with respect to the Basic Prospectus shall not inure to the
benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter) from
whom the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased
the Securities which are the subject thereof if such person did not receive a
copy of the Final Prospectus (or the Final Prospectus as amended or
supplemented) excluding documents incorporated therein by reference at or prior
to the confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person in any case
where such delivery is required by the Act and the untrue statement or omission
of a material fact contained in the Basic Prospectus was corrected in the Final
Prospectus (or the Final Prospectus as amended or supplemented), and (iii) such
indemnity with respect to any Collateral Error shall not inure to the benefit of
any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the
person asserting any loss, claim, damage or liability received any Computational
Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or ABS Term Sheets that were prepared on the
basis of such Collateral Error, if, prior to the time of confirmation of the
sale of the Securities to such person, the Company notified such Underwriter in
writing of the Collateral Error or provided in written or electronic form
information superseding or correcting such Collateral Error (in any such case, a
"Corrected Collateral Error"), and such Underwriter failed to notify such person
thereof or to deliver such person corrected Computational Materials, Collateral
Term Sheets and/or ABS Term Sheets, as applicable. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
-9-
(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors and its officers who sign the Registration Statement,
and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or
the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company
to each Underwriter, but only with reference to (A) written information relating
to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by such Underwriter specifically
for use in the preparation of the documents referred to in the foregoing
indemnity, or (B) any Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or ABS
Term Sheets furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter
pursuant to Section 10 and incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement or the Final Prospectus (except that no such indemnity shall be
available for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or actions in respect
thereof resulting from any Collateral Error, other than a Corrected Collateral
Error). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the
Underwriters may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements
set forth in (i) the first sentence of the last paragraph on the front cover of
the Final Prospectus and (ii) in the first sentence of the second and third
paragraphs under the heading "Method of Distribution" in the Final Prospectus
constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the
several Underwriters for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing
indemnity (other than any Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or ABS
Term Sheets furnished to the Company by any Underwriter), and each Underwriter
confirms that such statements are correct.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 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 8, 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 8. 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 delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
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 8 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 (exclusive of any local counsel), approved by the Underwriters
in the case of subparagraph (a), representing the indemnified parties under
subparagraph (a) who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party
shall not have employed counsel reasonably 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).
-10-
(d) To provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances
in which the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section 8 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a
court to be unavailable from the Company or the Underwriters on the grounds of
policy or otherwise, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same)
to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject, as
follows:
(i) in the case of any losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) which do not arise out of or are not
based upon any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any
Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or ABS Term Sheets, in
such proportion so that the Underwriters are responsible for that
portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting
compensation received by them bears to the sum of such underwriting
compensation and the purchase price of the Securities specified in
Schedule II hereto and the Company is responsible for the balance;
provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be responsible
under this subparagraph (i) for any amount in excess of the
underwriting compensation applicable to the Securities purchased by
such Underwriter hereunder; and
(ii) in the case of any losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) which arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any
Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or ABS Term Sheets, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect 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, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. 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 in such Computational Materials,
Collateral Term Sheets or ABS Term Sheets results from information
prepared by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the
other and that party's relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
-11-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (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 8, each person who
controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as such 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 preceding sentence of
this paragraph (d). Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after
receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such
party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another
party or parties under this paragraph (d), notify such party or parties from
whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or
parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be
sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than
under this paragraph (d).
9. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If any one or more
Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to
be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder (the "Defaulted
Securities") and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the
performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to
make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any
other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted
Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set
forth; if, however, the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters shall not
have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then the remaining
Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the
respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their
names in Schedule II hereto bear to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth
opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided,
however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall
exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II
hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but
shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if
such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this
Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or
the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this
Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding
seven days, as the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters shall determine in
order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final
Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. No action
taken pursuant to this Section 9 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from
its liability in respect of its default.
-12-
10. Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets.
(a) Not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on a date no
later than four business days before delivery of the Final Prospectus to the
Underwriters, the Underwriters shall deliver to the Company five complete copies
of all materials provided by the Underwriters to prospective investors in the
Securities which constitute either (i) "Computational Materials" within the
meaning of the no-action letter dated May 20, 1994 issued by the Division of
Corporation Finance of the Commission to Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Acceptance Corporation
I, Xxxxxx, Peabody & Co. Incorporated, and Xxxxxx Structured Asset Corporation
and the no-action letter dated May 27, 1994 issued by the Division of
Corporation Finance of the Commission to the Public Securities Association
(together, the "Xxxxxx Letters") or (ii) "ABS 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" and together with the Xxxxxx Letters, the "No-Action Letters"), if
the filing of such materials with the Commission is a condition of the relief
granted in such letters. In the case of any such materials that constitute
"Collateral Term Sheets" within the meaning of the PSA Letter, if such
Collateral Term Sheets have not previously been delivered to the Company as
contemplated by Section 10(b)(i) below, five complete copies of such Collateral
Term Sheets shall be delivered by the Underwriters to the Company no later than
10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day following the date on
which such Collateral Term Sheets were initially provided to a potential
investor. Each delivery of Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets
and/or ABS 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 13 hereof and one
copy of such materials to the Company.
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents and
warrants to and agrees with the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the
Closing Date, that:
(i) if such Underwriter has provided any Collateral Term Sheets
to potential investors in the Securities prior to the date hereof and
if the filing of such materials with the Commission is a condition of
the relief granted in the PSA Letter, then in each such case such
Underwriter delivered four copies of such materials to counsel for the
Company on behalf of the Company at the address specified in Section 13
hereof and one copy of such materials to the Company no later than
10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day following the
date on which such materials were initially provided to a potential
investor;
(ii) the Computational Materials (either in original,
aggregated or consolidated form), Collateral Term Sheets and ABS Term
Sheets furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 10(a) or as
contemplated in Section 10(b)(i) constitute all of the materials
furnished to prospective investors by such Underwriter (whether in
written, electronic or other format) prior to the time of delivery
thereof to the Company with respect to the Securities in accordance
with the No-Action Letters, and such Computational Materials,
Collateral Term Sheets and ABS Term Sheets comply with the requirements
of the No-Action Letters;
-13-
(iii) except as resulting directly from any Collateral Error,
on the respective dates any such Computational Materials, Collateral
Term Sheets and/or ABS Term Sheets with respect to the Securities were
last furnished to each prospective investor by such Underwriter and on
the date of delivery thereof to the Company pursuant to this Section 10
and on the Closing Date, such Computational Materials, Collateral Term
Sheets and/or ABS Term Sheets did not and will not include any untrue
statement of a material fact, or, when read in conjunction with the
Final Prospectus, omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(iv) all Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets and
ABS Term Sheets prepared by such Underwriter contained and will contain
a legend, prominently displayed on the first page thereof, to the
effect that the Company has not prepared, reviewed or participated in
the preparation of such Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets
or ABS Term Sheets, is not responsible for the accuracy thereof and has
not authorized the dissemination thereof;
(v) all Collateral Term Sheets with respect to the Securities
furnished to potential investors by such Underwriter contained and will
contain a legend, prominently displayed on the first page thereof,
indicating that the information contained therein will be superseded by
the description of the Mortgage Loans contained in the Final Prospectus
and, except in the case of the initial Collateral Term Sheet, that such
information supersedes the information in all prior Collateral Term
Sheets; and
(vi) on and after the date hereof, such Underwriter shall not
deliver or authorize the delivery of any Computational Materials,
Collateral Term Sheets, ABS Term Sheets or other materials relating to
the Securities (whether in written, electronic or other format) to any
potential investor unless such potential investor has received a Final
Prospectus prior to or at the same time as the delivery of such
Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets, ABS Term Sheets or
other materials.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters make no representation or
warranty as to whether any Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or
ABS Term Sheets included or will include any untrue statement resulting directly
from any Collateral Error (except any Corrected Collateral Error, with respect
to materials prepared after the receipt by the Underwriter from the Company of
notice of such Corrected Collateral Error or materials superseding or correcting
such Collateral Error).
(c) Each Underwriter acknowledges and agrees that the Company has
not authorized and will not authorize the distribution of any Computational
Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or ABS Term Sheets to any prospective
investor, and agree that any Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or
ABS Term Sheets with respect to the Securities furnished to prospective
investors shall include a disclaimer in the form set forth in paragraph (b)(v)
above. Each Underwriter agrees that they will not represent to investors that
any Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets and/or ABS Term Sheets were
prepared or disseminated on behalf of the Company.
-14-
(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is
required to be delivered under the Act, it shall be necessary to amend or
supplement the Final Prospectus as a result of an untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Computational Materials, Collateral Term Sheets or ABS
Term Sheets provided by the Underwriters pursuant to this Section 10 or the
omission to state therein a material fact required, when considered in
conjunction with the Final Prospectus, to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, when read in conjunction with the Final Prospectus, not
misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement any Current
Report to comply with the Act or the rules thereunder, the Underwriters, at
their expense, 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. Each Underwriter,
severally and not jointly, 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 Final Prospectus, omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading. The Company shall have no obligation to file such amendment or
supplement if the Company determines that (i) such amendment or supplement
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, when read in conjunction
with the Final Prospectus, omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; it being
understood, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to review or pass
upon the accuracy or adequacy of, or to correct, any such amendment or
supplement provided by the Underwriters to the Company pursuant to this
paragraph (d) or (ii) such filing is not required under the Act.
(e) Each Underwriter (at its own expense) further agrees to provide
to the Company any accountants' letters obtained relating to the Computational
Materials, Collateral Term Sheets and/or ABS Term Sheets, which accountants'
letters shall be addressed to the Company or shall state that the Company may
rely thereon; provided that the Underwriters shall have no obligation to procure
such letter.
11. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the
absolute discretion of the Underwriters, by notice given to the Company prior to
delivery of and payment for the Securities, if prior to such time (i) trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or
limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (ii) a
banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal authorities or (iii)
there shall have occurred any outbreak or material 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 reasonable judgment of the
Underwriters, impracticable to market the Securities.
12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the
Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of
the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof,
and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of
Sections 7 and 8 hereof and this Section 12 shall survive the termination or
cancellation of this Agreement.
