Dear
Sir
or Madam:
Citigroup
Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (the “Company” or the “Depositor”), a Delaware
corporation, proposes to issue Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-AMC1,
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-AMC1 (the “Certificates”),
under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”),
dated as of September 1, 2006, among the Company, Ameriquest
Mortgage Company (the “Servicer”), Citibank, N.A. (the “Trust Administrator”)
and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”),
and
proposes to sell the Registered Certificates (as defined below) to the
underwriter named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriter”). If the firm or
firms listed in Schedule II hereto include only Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
then the terms “Underwriters” and “Representative,” as used herein, shall each
be deemed to refer to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. The Certificates are
designated as (i) the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2A Certificates,
the
Class A-2B Certificates and the Class A-2C Certificates, (ii) the Class M-1
Certificates, the Class M-2 Certificates, the Class M-3 Certificates, the Class
M-4 Certificates, the Class M-5 Certificates, the Class M-6 Certificates, the
Class M-7 Certificates, the Class M-8 Certificates, the Class M-9 Certificates,
the Class M-10 Certificates and the Class M-11 Certificates, (iii) the Class
CE
Certificates and the Class P Certificates (the “Retained Certificates”) and (iv)
the Class R Certificates and the Class R-X Certificates.
The
Certificates will represent in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership
interest in a trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting primarily of a segregated
pool (the “Mortgage Pool”) of one- to four-family, fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate, first-lien and second lien residential mortgage loans (the
“Mortgage Loans”). Each Mortgage Loan provides for an original term to maturity
of not greater than 30 years. The Mortgage Loans will be acquired by the Company
from Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (the “Seller”) in exchange for
immediately available funds representing the purchase price and the Retained
Certificates. The Certificates are described more fully in Schedule I hereto.
The Class A-2A Certificates, the Class A-2B Certificates, the Class A-2C
Certificates, the Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-2 Certificates, the Class
M-3 Certificates, the Class M-4 Certificates, the Class M-5 Certificates, the
Class M-6 Certificates, the Class M-7 Certificates, the Class M-8 Certificates
and the Class M-9 Certificates (collectively, the “Registered Certificates”) are
more fully discussed in a registration statement which the Company has furnished
to you. This is to confirm the arrangements with respect to your purchase of
the
Registered Certificates.
Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned 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 has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
a registration statement on Form S-3 (the file number of which is set forth
in
Schedule I hereto), for the registration of the Registered Certificates under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), which registration
statement has become effective and copies of which have heretofore been
delivered to you. Such registration statement, as amended as of the date hereof,
meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(vii) under the 1933 Act
and
complies in all other material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder. The Company proposes to file with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act a supplement to the form of prospectus
included in such registration statement relating to the Registered Certificates
and the plan of distribution thereof, and has previously advised you of all
further information (financial and other) with respect to the Certificates
and
the Mortgage Pool to be set forth therein. Such registration statement,
including the exhibits thereto, as amended as of the date hereof, is hereinafter
called the “Registration Statement”; the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement after the Registration Statement, as amended, became effective, or
as
subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933
Act,
is hereinafter called the “Basic Prospectus”; the form of prospectus
supplemented by the supplement to the form of prospectus relating to the
Registered Certificates, is hereinafter called the “Prospectus Supplement” in
the form in which it shall be first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424 (including the Basic Prospectus) is hereinafter called a “Final Prospectus.”
The free writing prospectus dated September 14, 2006, that has heretofore been
filed pursuant to Rule 433, is hereinafter called the “Pricing Free Writing
Prospectus”. The Company will file with the Commission within four days of the
issuance of the Registered Certificates a report on Form 8-K setting forth
specific information concerning the Registered Certificates and the Mortgage
Pool to the extent that such information is not set forth in the Final
Prospectus.

to the Final Prospectus is filed with the Commission, and at the Closing Date,
(i) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, the Final
Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time and the Pricing
Free
Writing Prospectus as of the date hereof comply and will comply in all material
respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, (ii) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any
such time, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of material fact

therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading,

and
the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus as of the date hereof, do not and will
not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not and will not omit

state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided,
however,
that
the Company makes no representations or warranties as to the information
contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Pricing Free
Writing Prospectus or Final Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with the information furnished in

Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus as set forth in Exhibit A hereto
(the “Underwriters’ Information”).
(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 with full power and
authority (corporate and other) to own its properties and conduct its business

(i)
this Agreement, (ii) the Assignment and Recognition Agreement, dated as of
September 28, 2006 (the “Assignment and Recognition Agreement”), between the
Seller as assignor (the “Assignor”), the Depositor as assignee (the “Assignee”)
and Ameriquest Mortgage Company and (iii) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
and the Company has received no notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any license, certificate, authority or permit applicable
to

aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would
materially and adversely affect the conduct of the business, operations,
financial condition or income of the Company.

Closing Date, there has not and will not have been (i) any request by the
Commission for any further amendment of the Registration Statement, the Final
Prospectus or for any additional information, (ii) any 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

or

(e) This
Agreement and the Assignment and Recognition Agreement have been, and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement when executed and delivered as contemplated
hereby and thereby will have been, duly authorized, executed and delivered
by
the Company and each constitutes, or will constitute when so executed and
delivered, a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
may
be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium,
reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights
of
creditors, (ii) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought
in a
proceeding in equity or at law and (iii) public policy considerations underlying
the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations limit
the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide
indemnification from securities law liabilities.
(f) The
Certificates and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will conform in all
material respects to the description thereof contained in the Pricing Free
Writing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, and the Certificates, when duly
and
validly authorized, executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and paid for by the Underwriters as provided
herein, will be entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On the Closing Date, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be effective
to
establish the Trust Fund as a valid trust under the laws of the State of New
York.
(g) As
of the
Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will meet the criteria for selection described
in the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and will conform
to the descriptions thereof contained in the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus
and
the Final Prospectus.
(h) Neither
the issuance and sale of the Certificates, nor the execution and delivery by
the
Company of this Agreement and the Assignment and Recognition Agreement or the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nor the consummation by the Company of any
of
the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor compliance by the Company
with the provisions hereof or thereof, will conflict with or result in a breach
of any term or provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of
the
Company or conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of
or
constitute a default under, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or
instrument to which the Company or any of its affiliates is a party or by which
it or any of them is bound, or any statute, order or regulation applicable
to
the Company or any of its affiliates of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company
or any of its affiliates. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates is
a
party to, bound by or in breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement
or instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or regulation
of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
jurisdiction over it, which materially and adversely affects, or may in the

and
the Assignment and Recognition Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
or (ii) the business, operations, financial conditions, properties or assets
of
the Company.

and Recognition Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the
execution, delivery and sale or transfer of the Certificates have been or will
be paid at or prior to the Closing Date.
(l) The
Company is not, and the issuance and sale of the Certificates in the manner
contemplated by the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus
will
not cause the Company to be, subject to registration or regulation as an
investment company or affiliate of an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

(d) (i)
In the
event that any Underwriter or the Company becomes aware that, as of the time
of
the Contract of Sale, any Free Writing Prospectus delivered to a purchaser
of a
Registered Certificate contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not
misleading (such Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Free Writing
Prospectus”), the Underwriter or the Company shall notify the other parties to
this Agreement within one business day after discovery.
(ii) The
party
responsible for the information to be corrected, if requested by the Company

purchaser of a Registered Certificate which received the Defective Free Writing
Prospectus prior to entering into an agreement to purchase any Registered

Underwriters shall notify such purchaser in a prominent fashion that the prior
agreement to purchase Registered Certificates has been terminated, and of such

5. Agreements.
The
Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:
(a) The
Company will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement
to (including the supplement relating to the Registered Certificates included
in
the Final Prospectus) the Basic Prospectus, unless the Company has furnished
to
you a copy for your review prior to filing, and will not file or distribute
any
such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject
to
the foregoing sentence, the Company will cause the Pricing Free Writing
Prospectus to be transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule
433(d) under the 1933 Act and the Final Prospectus to be transmitted to the
Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act. The Company
will
promptly advise the Representative (i) when the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus
has been filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) and when the Final Prospectus shall
have
been filed or transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424,
(ii) when any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have become
effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of the
Registration Statement or 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 Registered Certificates 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 or suspension and, if
issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(b) If,
at
any time when a prospectus relating to the Registered Certificates is required
to be delivered under the 1933 Act, any event occurs as a result of which any
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 the 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 1933 Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission,
subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement that
will
correct such statement or omission or an amendment that will effect such
compliance and, if such amendment or supplement is required to be contained
in a
post-effective amendment of the Registration Statement, will use its best
efforts to cause such amendment of the Registration Statement to be made
effective as soon as possible.
(c) The
Company will (i) furnish to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters,
without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits
thereto) and each amendment thereto that shall become effective on or prior
to
the Closing Date and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter
or
dealer in connection with the Registered Certificates may be required by the
1933 Act, as many copies of each the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus, the Final
Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as the
Representative may reasonably request, and (ii) file promptly all reports and
any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the
Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), subsequent to the
date of the Final Prospectus and for so long as the delivery of a prospectus
by
an Underwriter or dealer in connection with the Registered Certificates may
be
required under the 1933 Act.
(d) The
Company agrees that, so long as the Certificates shall be outstanding, it will
deliver to the Representative the annual statement as to compliance delivered
to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.20 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and
the Assessment of Compliance and the Attestation Report furnished to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.21 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as soon as
such
statements are furnished to the Company. The Company will request that the
Servicer and the Trustee furnish to the Underwriters any monthly reports
furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(e) The
Company will furnish such information, execute such instruments and take such
action, if any, as may be required to qualify the Registered Certificates for
sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate
and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the
distribution of the Registered Certificates; 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 that 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, to the extent not paid by the Seller pursuant to the
Assignment and Recognition Agreement, all costs and expenses in connection
with
the transactions herein contemplated, including, but not limited to: the fees
and disbursements of its counsel; the costs and expenses of printing (or
otherwise reproducing) and delivering the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Certificates; accounting fees and disbursements; the costs and expenses
in
connection with the qualification or exemption of the Registered Certificates
under state securities or blue sky laws, including filing fees and reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with the preparation of any
blue
sky survey and in connection with any determination of the eligibility of the
Certificates for investment by institutional investors and the preparation
of
any legal investment survey; the expenses of printing any such blue sky survey
and legal investment survey; the costs and expenses in connection with the
preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including
exhibits thereto), the Basic Prospectus, the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus
and
the Final Prospectus, the preparation and printing of this Agreement and the
furnishing to the Underwriters of such copies of the Pricing Free Writing
Prospectus and the Final Prospectus as the Representative may reasonably
request, and the fees of each nationally recognized statistical rating
organization identified in the Final Prospectus (individually and collectively,
the “Rating Agency”) as having rated the Certificates. Except as provided in
Section 7 hereof, the Underwriters shall be responsible for paying all costs
and
expenses incurred by them in connection with the offering of the
Certificates.
(g) In
connection with any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Depositor
and each of its affiliates maintain customary, arm’s-length business
relationships with the Underwriters and each of its affiliates, and no fiduciary

7. Reimbursement
of Underwriters Expenses.
If the
sale to the Underwriters of the Registered Certificates as 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 provisions hereof, other than by reason of default by 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 incurred by the Underwriters in connection with
the proposed purchase and sale of the Registered Certificates.
8. Indemnification
and Contribution.
The
Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:
(a) The
Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors,
officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter, and each person who controls
any Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 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 1933 Act, the 1934 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 static pool information regarding
previously securitized pools of the Sponsor or any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement
for
the registration of the Registered Certificates as originally filed or in any
amendment thereof, or in the Basic Prospectus, the Pricing Free Writing
Prospectus or Final Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make
the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such
indemnified party, 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; provided,
however,
that
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 (i) in reliance upon and in conformity with any Underwriter’s
Information or (ii) any Derived Information, except to the extent that any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission therein results (or
is
alleged to have resulted) from an error or material omission in the information
either in the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus for which
the Company is responsible or concerning the characteristics of the Mortgage
Loans furnished to the Underwriters for use in the preparation of any Free
Writing Prospectus (any such information, the “Pool Information”), which error
was not superseded or corrected by the delivery to the Underwriters of corrected
written or electronic information, or for which the Company provided written
notice of such error to the Underwriters prior to the first Contract of Sale
(any such uncorrected Pool Information, a “Pool Error”). This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise
have.
(b) Each
Underwriter severally will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of
its
directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933
Act or the 1934 Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to (i) Derived Information
of such Underwriter or (ii) the Underwriter’s Information of such Underwriter.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any
Underwriter may otherwise have.
(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
failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from
liability under paragraph 8(a) or 8(b) above unless and to the extent it did
not
otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by
the
indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in
any
event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified
party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph 8(a)
or
8(b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of
the
indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the
indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which
case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees
and
expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties
except as set forth below); provided,
however,
that
such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding
the
indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified
party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall
bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i)
the
use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified
party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual
or
potential defendants in, or targets of, 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 that are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not
have
employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution
of
such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified
party
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An
indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential
parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent
includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(d) In
order
to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the
indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) 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 on grounds of policy or otherwise, the Company
and
the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages
and
liabilities (including legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively, “Losses”) to
which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company and the Underwriters from the offering of the Certificates. If the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for
any
reason, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute in such proportion
as
is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company and the Underwriters in connection with the statements
or
omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
consideration. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal
to
the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) and
benefits received by an Underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to 0.25% of
the
aggregate initial principal amount of the Certificates purchased by such
Underwriter. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any
alleged untrue statement or omission relates to the information provided by
the
Company or the Underwriters. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata
allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the
equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions
of
this paragraph 8(d), in no case shall any Underwriter except as may be provided
in any agreement among Underwriters relating to the offering of the Certificates
be responsible for any amount in excess of 0.25% of the aggregate initial
principal amount of the Certificates purchased by such Underwriter and, no
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who
was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section
8,
each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the
1933
Act or the 1934 Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an
Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter,
and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either
the
1933 Act or the 1934 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 applicable
terms and conditions of this paragraph 8(d).
(e) For
purposes hereof, as to each Underwriter, the term “Derived Information” means
such information, if any, in the Computational Materials that is not contained
in either (i) the Basic Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the Registration
Statement or amendments or supplements thereto, taking into account information
incorporated therein by reference (other than information incorporated by
reference from the Computational Materials) or (ii) any Pool Information, except
to the extent that any omission or alleged omission in Derived Information
results from a Pool Error.
9. Seller
Obligations.
[Reserved].
10. Termination.
This
Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the
Representative, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment
for all Registered Certificates 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 in such Exchange, (ii) a banking
moratorium shall have been declared by either federal or New York State
authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or material
escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national
emergency or war or other calamity or crisis, the effect of which on the
financial markets is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative,
impracticable to market the Certificates.
11. Representations
and Indemnities to Survive.
The
respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other
statements of the Company or its officers and 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 Registered
Certificates. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the
termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
12. Notices.
All
communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt,
and,
if sent to the Representative, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and
confirmed to it at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,
Attention: Managing Director, the Financial Institutions Department; or, if
sent
to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it
at
000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention:
Secretary.
13. Successors.
This
Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto
and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling
persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and their successors and assigns,
and
no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
14. Applicable
Law.
This
Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of New York. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original and all of
which shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
If
the
foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please
sign
and return to us a counterpart hereof, whereupon this letter and your acceptance
shall represent a binding agreement among the Company and the several
Underwriters.

EXHIBIT
A
Underwriter’s
Information
extent
that the offered certificates are treated as “real estate assets” under Section
856(c)(5)(B) of the Code. The offered certificates (other than the Residual
Certificates and exclusive of the right to receive Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts) also will be treated as “qualified mortgages” under Section 860G(a)(3)
of the Code. See “Federal Income Tax Consequences—REMICs—Characterization of
Investments in REMIC Certificates” in the prospectus.
It
is not
anticipated that the REMIC will engage in any transactions that would subject
it
to the prohibited transactions tax as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code,
the contributions tax as defined in Section 860G(d) of the Code or the tax
on
net income from foreclosure property as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code.
However, in the event that any such tax is imposed on the REMIC, the tax will
be
borne (i) by the trustee, if the trustee has breached its obligations with
respect to REMIC compliance under the pooling and servicing agreement, (ii)
by
the trust administrator, if the trust administrator has breached its obligations
with respect to REMIC compliance under the pooling and servicing agreement,
(iii) by the servicer, if the servicer has breached its obligations with respect
to REMIC compliance under the pooling and servicing agreement, or (iv) otherwise
by the trust, with a resulting reduction in amounts otherwise distributable
to
holders of the certificates. See “Description of the Securities—General” and
“Federal Income Tax Consequences —REMICs—Prohibited Transactions Tax and Other
Taxes” in the prospectus.
The
responsibility for filing annual federal information returns and other reports
will be generally borne by the trust administrator. See “Federal Income Tax
Consequences—REMICs—Reporting and Other Administrative Matters” in the
prospectus.
