Fargo") as trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee"). The Certificates and the

or privately placed with a limited number of institutional investors.
In connection with the execution and delivery of the Pooling and

provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file with the

or portion thereof that contains a description of the Certificates or the
offering of the Certificates which does not reflect the final terms thereof or

10
(f) Each Underwriter shall file with the Commission the following:
(i) any Free Writing Prospectus 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; and
(ii) 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 any Underwriter
becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other

provided, however, that no Underwriter shall be required to file (1) any Free
Writing Prospectus to the extent that the information contained therein is
included in a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the
Commission that relates to the offering of the Certificates, or (2) any Free
Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions
to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.
(g) The Company and each Underwriter agree that any Free Writing
Prospectuses prepared by it shall contain the following legend:
The depositor has filed a registration statement (including a
prospectus) with the SEC (SEC File No. 333-141638) 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 entity 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 0-000-000-0000 or by emailing XXXXXXX@xxxxxx.xxx.
(h) The Company and the Underwriters agree that each of them shall
retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that it has used and not filed with the
Commission for a period of three years following the initial bona fide offering
of the Certificates.
(i) In the event that the Company becomes aware that, as of the Time
of Sale, any information in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer
Information 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 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
11
Prospectus (such corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a "Corrected Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus"). 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 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a
"Defective Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus" and, 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.
The Underwriters shall, if requested by the Company:
(i) 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");
(ii) Either (A) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to
each investor which received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus prior to
entering into a contract of sale with such investor, clearly identifying or
highlighting the Corrective Information, or (B) deliver the Corrected Free
Writing Prospectus to each investor which received the Defective Free
Writing Prospectus, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective
Information, and (x) notify in writing each such investor in a prominent
fashion that the prior contract of sale with such investor has been
terminated, and of such investor's rights as a result of termination of
such agreement and (y) provide such investor with an opportunity to
affirmatively agree in writing to purchase the Certificates on the terms
described in the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus; and
(iii) 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.
In the event that the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus and the defective information was not provided by any party
that would be obligated to indemnify the Underwriters under the Indemnification
Agreements, 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.
(j) Each Underwriter covenants with the Company that after the
Prospectus is available such Underwriter shall not distribute any written
information concerning the Certificates to a prospective investor unless such
information is preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus.
(k) The Mortgage Loan Seller covenants with the Company that it will
not prepare or have prepared on its behalf, or use or refer to, any Free Writing
Prospectus that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without the
prior written consent of the Company, and the Mortgage Loan Seller represents
and warrants to the Company that it has not previously done so. In the event the
Company consents in writing to, in advance of, such preparation, use or referral
of a Free Writing Prospectus by the
12
Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller will deliver such Free Writing
Prospectus to the Company for filing in accordance with the timeframes set forth
in Section 4(e).
(l) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and
warrants to and covenants with the Company that:
(i) such Underwriter has only communicated or caused to be
communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any
invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the
meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the
"FSMA")) received by such Underwriter in connection with the issue or sale
of any Certificates in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA
does not apply to the Company; and
(ii) such Underwriter has complied and will comply with all
applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by such
Underwriter in relation to the Certificates in, from or otherwise involving
the United Kingdom.
(m) In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area
which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member
State"), each Underwriter hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with
the Company that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus
Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the "Relevant
Implementation Date") such Underwriter has not made and will not make an offer
of Certificates to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the
publication of a prospectus in relation to the Certificates which has been
approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where
appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the
competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the
Prospectus Directive, except that such Underwriter may, with effect from and
including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of Certificates to the
public in that Relevant Member State at any time:
(i) to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to
operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated,
whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;
(ii) to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average
of at least 250 employees during the last financial year, (2) a total
balance sheet of more than (euro)43,000,000 and (3) an annual net turnover
of more than (euro)50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated
accounts; or
(iii) in any other circumstances which do not require the
publication by the Company of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the
Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of
Certificates to the public" in relation to any Certificates in any Relevant
Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient
information on the terms of the offer and the Certificates so as to enable an
investor to decide to purchase or subscribe to the Certificates, as the same may
be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus
Directive in that Member State and the expression "Prospectus Directive" means
Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each
Relevant Member State.
13
(n) Each of the Underwriters hereby confirms that it is aware that no
German sales prospectus (Verkaufsprospekt) has been or will be published in
respect of the offering of the Certificates, and each of the Underwriters hereby
represents, warrants and agrees that it will comply with the German Securities
Sales Prospectus Act (Wertpapier-Verkaufsprospektgesetz) or any other laws
applicable in Germany governing the issue, offering and sale of the
Certificates. In particular, each of the Underwriters agrees not to engage in a
public offering (Offentliches Angebot) in Germany with respect to any of the
Certificates otherwise than in accordance with the German Securities Sales
Prospectus Act and any other act replacing or supplementing it and all other
applicable laws and regulations.
(o) No Underwriter shall take any action relating to the offer or sale
of any of the Certificates in any jurisdiction that would result in the Company
being obligated to register or file any further prospectus or corresponding
document relating to the Certificates in such jurisdiction, other than as
expressly contemplated hereby.
(p) If any Underwriter does not have an allocation of Certificates,
then such Underwriter nevertheless acknowledges that it has actively
participated in the marketing and distribution of the Certificates.
(q) Each Underwriter advises the Company that it currently intends to
make a market in the Certificates, although it has no obligations to do so and
may terminate such market making at any time.
5. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants with the
respective Underwriters that:
(a) During such period following the date of this Agreement in which
any Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act (the "Prospectus
Delivery Period"), the Company will deliver to each Underwriter such number of
copies of the Prospectus, and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as
such Underwriter may reasonably request.
(b) During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will file
promptly with the Commission any amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus relating to or covering the Certificates that may,
in the judgment of the Company or the Underwriters, be required by the 1933 Act
and the 1933 Act Rules or requested by the Commission and approved by the
Underwriters.
(c) Prior to filing with the Commission during the Prospectus Delivery
Period any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement relating to or
covering the Certificates (other than an amendment by reason of Rule 429 under
the 1933 Act) or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, the Company will
furnish a copy thereof to the Underwriters, and the Company will not file any
such amendment or supplement to which the Underwriters shall reasonably object.
(d) The Company will advise the Underwriters promptly (i) when, during
the Prospectus Delivery Period, any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement relating to or covering the Certificates (other than any amendment by
reason of Rule 429 under the 1933 Act) becomes effective, (ii) of any request or
proposed request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the
Registration Statement (insofar as the amendment or supplement relates to or
covers the Certificates), for any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or
for any additional information with respect to the Certificates, (iii) of the
issuance by the Commission, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
initiation or threat of any such stop order proceeding, (iv)
14
of receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the qualification of the Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the
occurrence, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, of any event that makes
untrue any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement or
any Prospectus or that requires the making of a change in or addition to the
Registration Statement or any Prospectus in order to make any material statement
therein not misleading.
(e) If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Commission issues
an order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company
will make every reasonable effort to obtain the lifting of that order at the
earliest possible time.
(f) The Company will endeavor to qualify the Certificates for offer
and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may
reasonably request; provided, however, that this Section 5(f) shall not obligate
the Company to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify to
do business in any jurisdiction or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction
in which it is not so qualified.
(g) The costs and expenses associated with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and by the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall
be payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller as and to the extent provided in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
(h) The Company will file any documents and any amendments thereof as
may be required to be filed by it pursuant to the 1933 Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and the rules and regulations
of the Commission under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, including, but not
limited to, the filing with the Commission, to the extent required under Rule
433 of the 1933 Act Rules, all Free Writing Prospectuses that the Company is

Section 4(e) hereof. Subject to compliance by each Underwriter with the
requirements of Section 4(b) hereof, the Company represents and warrants that,
to the extent required by Rule 433 under the 1933 Act, the Company has timely
filed with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectuses contemplated to be filed

(h) The Underwriters shall have received from Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxx

containing a statement substantially to the effect that, based on discussions
with certain representatives of the Company, the Mortgage Loan Seller, the

respective counsel, and (with limited exception) without having reviewed any of
the mortgage notes, mortgages or other documents relating to the Mortgage Loans,
or any documents, records, agreements, ratings or portfolio data or any other
information regarding the business or operations of the sponsors, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement), and without having made any independent check or
verification of the statements contained in the Prospectus or the Time of Sale
Information, nothing has come to such counsel's attention that would lead it to
believe that the Offering Prospectus, at the Time of Sale, or the Prospectus, at
the date of the Prospectus Supplement or at the Closing Date, contained or
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that such
counsel need not comment on (i) any financial, statistical or numerical data set
forth or referred to therein or omitted therefrom, (ii) any information set
forth on or omitted from any diskette, CD-ROM or other electronic media that may

financial or statistical nature set forth in the Time of Sale Information,
as was agreed upon by the Underwriters, agrees with the data sheet or
computer tape prepared by or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, unless
otherwise noted in such letter;
(ii) they have performed certain specified procedures as a result
of which they have determined that such information of an accounting,
financial or statistical nature set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, as
was agreed upon by the Underwriters, agrees with the data sheet or computer
tape prepared by or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, unless otherwise
noted in such letter; and
(iii) they have compared the data contained in the data sheet or
computer tape referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii)
to information contained in an agreed upon sampling of the Mortgage Loan
files and in such other sources as shall be specified by them, and found
such data and information to be in agreement in all material respects,
unless otherwise noted in such letter.
(j) The Underwriters shall have received, with respect to each of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, a favorable opinion of
counsel, dated the Closing Date, addressing: the valid existence of such party
under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; the due authorization,
execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by such party; the
enforceability of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against such party,
subject to such limitations as are reasonably acceptable to the Underwriters and
their counsel; and such other matters as the Underwriters and their counsel may
reasonably request. Counsel rendering each such opinion may express its reliance
as to factual matters on representations and warranties made by, and on
certificates or other documents furnished by officers and/or authorized
representatives of, the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and on
certificates furnished by public officials and, further, may assume the due
authorization, execution and
17
delivery of the instruments and documents referred to therein by the parties
thereto other than the party on behalf of which such opinion is being rendered.
Each such opinion need cover only the laws of the State of New York, the laws of

such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Company, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement. The Underwriters shall be entitled to rely on each such certificate
executed and delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller, any affiliate thereof or any
of their respective officers and representatives, to the same extent that the
Company may so rely, and each such opinion addressed to the Company shall also
be addressed to the Underwriters.
(l) The Underwriters shall have been furnished with such other
documents and opinions as the Underwriters may reasonably require, for the
purpose of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Certificates
as herein contemplated and related proceedings, or in order to evidence the
accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any
of the conditions, herein contained.
(m) The Certificates shall have been assigned ratings no less than
those set forth on Schedule I and such ratings shall not have been qualified,
downgraded or withdrawn.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have
been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement,
if the Company is in material breach of any covenants or agreements contained
herein or if any of the opinions and certificates referred to above or elsewhere
in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Underwriters and their counsel, this Agreement and
all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be cancelled at, or at any
time prior to, the Closing Date by the Underwriters. Notice of such cancellation
shall be given to the Company in writing, or by telephone or telegraph confirmed
in writing.
7. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS' EXPENSES.
(a) If the sale of the Certificates 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 in all material respects any
agreement herein or comply in all material respects with any provision hereof,
other than by reason of a default by the Underwriters or a refusal, inability or
failure on the part of the Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its affiliates to
perform in all material respects any agreement in, or comply in all material
respects with any provision of, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the
Company will reimburse the Underwriters upon demand, for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall
have been incurred by any of them in connection with the proposed purchase and
sale of the Certificates. If the sale of the Certificates provided for herein is
not consummated because of a refusal, inability or failure on the part of the
Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its affiliates to perform in all material
respects any agreement in, or comply in all material respects with any provision
of, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller will
reimburse the Underwriters upon demand, for all out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been
incurred by any of them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the
Certificates.

hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to (i) untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions made in the Underwriter
Information (insofar as the Underwriter Information relates to or was provided
by such Underwriter and was not corrected by subsequent Underwriter Information
relating to or provided by such Underwriter supplied to the Company by such
Underwriter within a reasonable period of time prior to the Time of Sale) or
(ii) untrue statements or omissions made in any Underwriter Free Writing
Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter or omissions or alleged
omissions to state in such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus a material fact
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, however, that such Underwriter shall
not be liable under the indemnity agreement in this subsection (b) for any such
loss, liability, claim, damage, cost or expense that are caused by a
misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in (i) the Issuer
Information which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently
supplied by the Company or the Mortgage Loan Seller to any Underwriter within a
reasonable period of time prior to the Time of Sale or (ii) any Third Party
Information as to which the Company would be entitled to indemnification by the
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 2 of the
related Indemnification Agreement.
(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an
indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability
which it may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement in
subsection (a) or (b), as applicable, of this Section 8. An indemnifying party
may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action and, to the
extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from the indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.
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, or (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of such action, with
counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, within a reasonable period
following the indemnifying party's receiving notice of such action, or (iii) 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. In no event shall the indemnifying party or
parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to
any local counsel) separate from its or their own counsel to 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.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an indemnifying party
shall not be liable under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8 for any
settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to
any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which
indemnification could be sought under such subsection (a) or (b), as the case
may be, of this Section 8, effected without its written consent, unless (i) at
any time an indemnified party shall have requested such indemnifying party to
20
reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel for which the
indemnifying party is obligated under this Section 8, (ii) such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed
the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement.
No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be sought under subsection
(a) or (b), as applicable, of this Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified
parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement,
compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation,
proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission
of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.
(d) The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of
the losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs or expenses referred to in this
Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal fees and disbursements or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim except where the indemnified party is
required to bear such expenses pursuant to this Section 8, which expenses the
indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the
indemnified party, to the extent that it is reasonable to believe that the
indemnifying party will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses. 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.
(e) 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.
(f) The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 8 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this
Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters, any of
their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company or
any of the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Certificates.
9. CONTRIBUTION.
(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 8(a) or
Section 8(b) hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the
indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the
Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and
expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the
Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, as incurred,
(i) in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other
hand, from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on
the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims,
damages, costs and/or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be
21
responsible under this Section 9(a) for any amount in excess of the fees and/or
underwriting discounts received by such Underwriter in connection with the
underwriting of the Certificates, less any amount previously paid by such
Underwriter in respect of the subject losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
costs and/or expenses. For purposes of the foregoing, the benefits received by
the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds from the sale of the
Certificates (before deducting expenses, but excluding fees paid to the
Underwriters) received by the Company, and the benefits received by each
Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall be deemed to be equal to the fees and/or underwriting discounts received
by such Underwriter in connection with the underwriting of the Certificates. The
relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the
other hand, 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
or by the Underwriters, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 9(a) were determined by per capita allocation or by any
other method of allocation that does not take account of the considerations
referred to in this Section 9(a).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who
signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The remedies
provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights
or remedies that may otherwise be available at law or in equity to any party
entitled to contribution under this Section 9.
(c) The contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters,
any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the
Company or any of the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any
of the Certificates.
(d) The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to
this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective amount of
Certificates they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
10. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS TO SURVIVE DELIVERY.
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or
contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto,
shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the
Company, or by or on behalf of any of the controlling persons and officers and
directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and shall survive delivery of
the Certificates to the Underwriters.
11. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL.
(a) The Underwriters may terminate their obligations under this
Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date
(i) if there has been, since the date of this Agreement or since the respective
dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and
22
the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or
otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not
arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any
outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis the
effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the
Underwriters, impracticable to market the Certificates or to enforce contracts
for the sale of the Certificates, or (iii) if trading generally on the New York
Stock Exchange has been suspended, or if a banking moratorium has been declared
by either federal or New York authorities.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11, such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except
that the provisions of Section 5(g) hereof regarding the payment of costs and
expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
12. SUBSTITUTION OF UNDERWRITERS.
(a) If any Underwriter shall fail to take up and pay for the amount of
the Certificates agreed by such Underwriter to be purchased under this
Agreement, upon tender of such Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof,
and the amount of the Certificates not purchased does not aggregate more than
10% of the total amount of the Certificates set forth in Schedule II hereof
(based on aggregate purchase price), then the remaining Underwriter(s) shall be
obligated to take up and pay for the Certificates that the withdrawing or
defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) If any Underwriter shall fail to take up and pay for the amount of
the Certificates agreed by such Underwriter to be purchased under this Agreement
(such Underwriter, a "Defaulting Underwriter"), upon tender of such Certificates
in accordance with the terms hereof, and the amount of the Certificates not
purchased aggregates more than 10% of the total amount of the Certificates set
forth in Schedule II hereto (based on aggregate purchase price), and
arrangements satisfactory to the remaining Underwriter(s) and the Company for
the purchase of such Certificates by other persons are not made within 36 hours
thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate. In the event of any such
termination, the Company shall not be under any liability to any Underwriter
(except to the extent provided in Section 5(g), Section 8 and Section 9 hereof),
nor shall the non-Defaulting Underwriter(s) be under any liability to the
Company (except to the extent provided in Sections 8 and 9 hereof). Nothing
herein shall be deemed to relieve any Defaulting Underwriter from any liability
it may have to the Company or the other Underwriter(s) by reason of its failure
to take up and pay for Certificates as agreed by such Defaulting Underwriter.
13. NOTICES. Any notice by the Company to any Underwriter shall be
sufficient if given in writing or by telegraph addressed to the address for such
Underwriter set forth on Schedule II hereto (or to such other address as any
such Underwriter shall designate in writing to the Company in accordance with
this Section 13), any notice by any Underwriter to the Company shall be
sufficient if given in writing or by telegraph addressed to the Company at 000
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (or to such
other address as the Company shall designate in writing to the Underwriters in
accordance with this Section 13).
14. BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Underwriters, the Company and their respective successors. This Agreement and
the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons,
except that the indemnity agreement of the Underwriters contained in Section 8
hereof and the contribution agreement of the Underwriters contained in Section 9
hereof shall each be deemed to be also for the benefit of directors of the
Company, officers of the Company who have signed
23
the Registration Statement and any person controlling the Company; and the
indemnity agreement of the Company contained in Section 8 hereof and the
contribution agreement of the Company contained in Section 9 hereof shall each
be deemed to be also for the benefit of any person controlling an Underwriter.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person,
other than the persons referred to in this Section 14, any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision
contained herein.
15. BUSINESS DAY. For purposes of this Agreement, "business day" means
any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
16. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, applicable to contracts
negotiated, made and to be performed entirely in said State.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed
counterparts shall together constitute a single instrument.
18. WAIVERS, MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS. Neither this Agreement nor
any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought.
24
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our
agreement, please sign and return to the undersigned a counterpart hereof,
whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, and your acceptance
shall represent a binding agreement between the Company, the Underwriters and
the Mortgage Loan Seller signing this Agreement for purposes of Section 4(k),
Section 5(g) and Section 7.
Very truly yours,
