The Certificates, together with the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class

jumbo, adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, one- to four-family residential first lien mortgage loans
(the “Mortgage Loans”) as described in the Prospectus Supplement (as hereinafter defined) to be
sold by the Company.
The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of
[________] [__], 201[__] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Company, as seller,

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
1. Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
1.1 The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with you that:
(a) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) a registration statement (No. 333-[_______]) on Form S-3 for the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates (issuable in series), including the Certificates, which registration statement
has become effective, and a copy of which, as
amended to the date hereof, has heretofore been delivered to you. The Company
proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the rules and
regulations of the Commission under the Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) a prospectus
supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”), to the prospectus dated [________] [__], 201[__]
(the “Base Prospectus”), relating to the Certificates and the method of distribution
thereof. Such registration statement (No. 333-[________]) including exhibits thereto and
any information incorporated therein by reference, as amended at the date hereof, is
hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; and the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus
Supplement and any information incorporated therein by reference, together with any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto authorized by the Company on or prior to the Closing
Date (as defined herein) for use in connection with the offering of the Certificates, are
hereinafter called the “Prospectus.” Any preliminary form of the Prospectus Supplement to
be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) is referred to as a “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”
and, together with the Base Prospectus, and as amended or supplemented if the Company shall
have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto, a “Preliminary Prospectus.”
(b) The Registration Statement has become effective, and the Registration Statement as
of the effective date (the “Effective Date,” as defined in this paragraph), and the
Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, complied in all material respects
with the applicable requirements of the Act and the 1933 Act Regulations; and the
Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date, did not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and each Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus (as defined herein) as of its date did not, and the Approved Offering Materials
(as defined herein) as of the date of the Approved Offering Materials did not and as of the
Closing Date will not, and the Prospectus and the Designated Static Pool Information, taken
together, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement did not and as of the Closing Date
will not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not and will not omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that neither the Company nor [_______________] makes any representations or warranties as to
the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Approved
Offering Materials or the Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto relating
to the information therein that is Excluded Information (as defined herein); and
provided, further, that neither the Company nor [_______________] makes any
representations or warranties as to either (i) any information contained in any Underwriter
Prepared Issuer FWP (as defined herein) or Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (as defined
herein) except, in each case to the extent of (x) any information set forth therein that
constitutes Pool Information (as defined below) or (y) any information accurately extracted
from the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and
included in any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP, or (ii) any information contained in or
omitted from the portions of the Approved Offering Materials or Prospectus identified by
underlining or other highlighting as shown in Exhibit E (the “Underwriter Information”).
The Effective Date shall mean the earlier of the date on which the Prospectus Supplement is
first used and the time of the first Contract of Sale (as defined herein) to which such
Prospectus Supplement relates. The initial effective date of the Registration Statement was
within three years of the Closing Date. If the third anniversary of the initial effective
date occurs within six months after the Closing Date, the Company will use best efforts to
2
take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale
of the Certificates as contemplated hereunder. The Company acknowledges that the
Underwriter Information constitutes the only information furnished in writing by you or
on your behalf for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, and the Underwriter confirms that the Underwriter
Information is correct.
(c) (i) “ABS Informational and Computational Materials” shall have the meaning given
such term in Item 1101 of Regulation AB.

Regulations and all Commission guidance relating to Rule 159.

Free Writing Prospectus solely by reason of the Company’s review of the materials
pursuant to Section 4.4(e) below and, consistent with Securities Offering Reform
Questions and Answers, November 30, 2005 promulgated by the staff of the Commission,
“Issuer Information” shall not be deemed to include any information in a Free

information with respect to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and
administrative and servicing fees, as provided by or on behalf of the Company or
[_______________] to the Underwriter at the time most recent to the date of such
Free Writing Prospectus.
(xi) “Underwriter Derived Information” shall refer to information of the type
described in clause (5) of footnote 271 of Commission Release No. 33-8591
(Securities Offering Reform) when prepared by the Underwriter, including traditional

liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the
requisite corporate power to own its properties and to conduct its business as presently
conducted by it.
(e) The Company was not, as of any date on or after which a bona fide offer (as used in
Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Certificate is made an Ineligible Issuer,
as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations. The Company shall comply
with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with the use of Free Writing
Prospectuses, including but not limited to Rules 164 and 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations and
all Commission guidance relating to Free Writing Prospectuses, including but not limited to
Commission Release No. 33-8591.
(f) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
(g) As of the Closing Date (as defined herein) the Certificates will conform in all
material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus and
4
the representations and warranties of the Company in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be
true and correct in all material respects.

such Certificate sold to any person on the date of initial sale thereof by the Underwriter

for the transfer of funds and the delivery of the Certificates. Such funds will be
available for immediate transfer into the account of [_______________] maintained at the
Trustee.
(c) As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, the Underwriter has complied with
all of its obligations hereunder and all Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP and Underwriter

Information and to the extent of (x) any errors therein that are caused by errors or
omissions in the Pool Information) or (y) information accurately extracted from the
Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and included in any

Company, if any, constitutes a complete set of all Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP furnished
to any investor by the Underwriter in connection with the offering of any Certificates.
(d) Prior to the Closing Date, the Underwriter shall notify the Company and
[_______________] of the earlier of (x) the date on which the Prospectus Supplement is first

5
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 you, and you agree
to purchase from the Company, the Certificates at a price equal to [_____]% of the aggregate
certificate principal balance of the Certificates as of the Closing Date (as defined herein).
[There will be added to the purchase price of the Certificates an amount equal to interest accrued

3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Certificates shall be made
at the office of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on

for the Certificates being herein called the “Closing Date”). Delivery of the [Deal Name], Class
A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates shall be made to you through DTC (such Certificates, the
“DTC Registered Certificates”) against payment by you of the purchase price thereof to or upon the
order of the Company by wire transfer in immediately available funds.
4. Offering by Underwriter.
4.1 It is understood that you propose to offer the Certificates for sale to the public as set
forth in the Prospectus and you agree that all such offers and sales by you shall be made in
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Prior to the date of the first Contract of
Sale made based on the Approved Offering Materials, you have not pledged, sold, disposed of or
otherwise transferred any Certificate, Mortgage Loans or any interest in any Certificate.
4.2 It is understood that you will solicit offers to purchase the Certificates as follows:
(a) Prior to the time you have received the Approved Offering Materials you may, in compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement, solicit offers to purchase Certificates; provided, that you
shall not accept any such offer to purchase a Certificate or any interest in any Certificate or
Mortgage Loan or otherwise enter into any Contract of Sale for any Certificate, any interest in any
Certificate or any Mortgage Loan prior to your conveyance of Approved Offering Materials to the
investor.
(b) Any Written Communication relating to the Certificates made by an Underwriter in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the time such Underwriter has entered into a
Contract of Sale for Certificates with the recipient shall prominently set forth the following
statements (or substantially similar statements approved by the Company):
The information in this free writing prospectus, if conveyed prior
to the time of your contractual commitment to purchase any of the
Certificates, supersedes any information contained in any prior
similar materials relating to the Certificates. The information in
this free writing prospectus is preliminary, and is subject to
completion or change. This free writing prospectus is being
delivered to you solely to provide you with information about the
offering of the Certificates referred to in this free writing
prospectus and to solicit an offer to purchase the Certificates,
when, as and if issued. Any such offer to purchase made by you
6
will
not be accepted and will not constitute a contractual commitment by
you to purchase any of the Certificates, until we have accepted your
offer to purchase Certificates.
The Certificates referred to in these materials are being sold when,
as and if issued. The issuing entity is not obligated to issue such
Certificates or any similar security and the underwriter’s
obligation to deliver such Certificates is subject to the terms and
conditions of the underwriting agreement with the issuing entity and
the availability of such Certificates when, as and if issued by the
issuing entity. You are advised that the terms of the Certificates,
and the characteristics of the mortgage loan pool backing them, may
change (due, among other things, to the possibility that mortgage
loans that comprise the pool may become delinquent or defaulted or
may be removed or replaced and that similar or different mortgage
loans may be added to the pool, and that one or more classes of
Certificates may be split, combined or eliminated), at any time
prior to issuance or availability of a final prospectus. You are
advised that Certificates may not be issued that have the
characteristics described in these materials. The underwriter’s
obligation to sell such Certificates to you is conditioned on the
mortgage loans and Certificates having the characteristics described
in these materials. If for any reason the issuing entity does not
deliver such Certificates, the underwriter will notify you, and
neither the issuing entity nor any underwriter will have any
obligation to you to deliver all or any portion of the Certificates
which you have committed to purchase, and none of the issuing entity
nor any underwriter will be liable for any costs or damages
whatsoever arising from or related to such non-delivery.
4.3 It is understood that you will not enter into a Contract of Sale with any investor until
the Approved Offering Materials have been conveyed to the investor with respect to the Certificates
which are the subject of such Contract of Sale.
4.4 It is understood that you may prepare and provide to prospective investors certain Free
Writing Prospectuses, subject to the following conditions:
(a) Unless preceded or accompanied by a prospectus satisfying the requirements of
Section 10(a) of the Act, the Underwriter shall not convey or deliver any Written
Communication to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Certificates,
unless such Written Communication (i) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Act, (ii)
constitutes a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Rule 430B under the Act or (iii)
constitutes a Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in Section 1.1(c) above) consisting solely
of (x) information of a type included within the definition of ABS Informational and
Computational Materials (as defined above), (y) Permitted Additional Materials or (z)
information accurately extracted from the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or any Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus and included in any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP or any
Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus.
7
(b) The Underwriter shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection
with the use of Free Writing Prospectuses, including but not limited to Rules 164 and 433 of
the 1933 Act Regulations and all Commission guidance relating to Free Writing Prospectuses,
including but not limited to Commission Release No. 33-8591.
(c) It is understood and agreed that all information provided by the Underwriter to or
through Bloomberg or Intex or similar entities for use by prospective investors, or imbedded
in any CDI file provided to prospective investors, or in any email or other electronic
message provided to prospective investors, to the extent constituting a Free Writing
Prospectus, shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to be an Underwriter Free Writing
Prospectus and shall not be subject to the required consent of
the Company set forth in the third sentence in Section 4.4(e). In connection
therewith, the Underwriter agrees that it shall not provide any information constituting
Issuer Information through the foregoing media unless (i) such information or substantially
similar information is contained either in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in an
Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP in compliance with Section 4.4(e) or (ii) to the extent such
information consists of the terms of the Certificates, the final version of the terms of the
Certificates or substantially similar information is contained either in an Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus or in an Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP in compliance with Section
4.4(e).
(d) All Free Writing Prospectuses provided to prospective investors, whether or not
filed with the Commission, shall bear a legend including the following statement (or a
substantially similar statement approved by the Company):
“THE DEPOSITOR HAS FILED A REGISTRATION STATEMENT (INCLUDING
A PROSPECTUS) WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
(THE SEC) FOR THE OFFERING TO WHICH THIS COMMUNICATION
RELATES. BEFORE YOU INVEST, YOU SHOULD READ THE PROSPECTUS
IN THAT REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND OTHER DOCUMENTS THE
DEPOSITOR HAS FILED WITH THE SEC FOR MORE COMPLETE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPOSITOR AND THE OFFERING. YOU MAY
GET THESE DOCUMENTS AT NO CHARGE 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 AT NO CHARGE IF YOU
REQUEST IT BY CALLING TOLL-FREE 1—8[XX—XXX—XXXX] OR VIA
EMAIL AT _____________.”
Each of the Underwriter and the Company shall have the right to request additional specific
legends or notations to appear on any Free Writing Prospectus and shall have the right to
require changes regarding the use of terminology and the right to determine the
8
types of
information appearing therein with the approval of the other (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld).
(e) The Underwriter shall deliver to the Company and its counsel (in such format as
reasonably required by the Company), prior to the proposed date of first use thereof,
(unless such timing requirement is waived by the Company), any Underwriter Prepared Issuer
FWP (as defined above). To facilitate filing to the extent required by Section 5.10 or
5.11, as applicable, all Underwriter Derived Information shall be set forth in a document
separate from any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP including Issuer Information. Consent to
use of any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP must be given by the Company in written or
electronic format before the Underwriter provides the Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP to
investors pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Underwriter shall not be required to deliver or obtain consent to use an Underwriter
Prepared Issuer FWP to the extent that it does not contain
substantive changes from or additions to any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP previously
approved by the Company. In the event that the Underwriter uses any Underwriter Prepared
Issuer FWP without complying with the foregoing requirements, that Underwriter Prepared
Issuer FWP shall be deemed to be an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of
Sections 7.1 and 7.2.
(f) The Underwriter shall provide the Company with a letter from [___________],
certified public accountants, prior to the Closing Date, satisfactory in form and substance
to the Company, [_______________] and their respective counsels and the Underwriter, to the
effect that such accountants have performed certain specified procedures, all of which have
been agreed to by the Company and the Underwriter, as a result of which they determined that
certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature that is included in
any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP, other than any Pool Information therein and any
information accurately extracted from the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or any Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus and included in such Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP, is accurate
except as to such matters that are not deemed by the Company and the Underwriter to be
material. The foregoing letter shall be at the expense of the Underwriter.
(g) None of the information in any Free Writing Prospectus may conflict with the
information then contained in the Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus
supplement that is a part thereof.
(h) The Company shall not be obligated to file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses
that have been determined to contain any material error or omission unless such Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus has been provided to a prospective investor, in which case, the
Underwriter shall cooperate with the Company to prepare a corrective Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus that the Underwriter will provide to any such prospective investor and the
Company shall file to the extent required herein. In the event that the Underwriter becomes
aware that, as of the date on which an investor entered into a Contract of Sale, any Free
Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter and delivered to such
investor 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
9
Underwriter shall notify the Company thereof as
soon as practical but in any event within one business day after discovery.
(i) If the Underwriter does not provide any Free Writing Prospectuses to the Company
pursuant to subsection (e) above, the Underwriter shall be deemed to have represented, as of
the Closing Date, that it did not provide any prospective investors with any information in
written or electronic form in connection with the offering of the Certificates that would
constitute an Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP.
(j) In the event of any delay in the delivery by the Underwriter to the Company of any
Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP required to be delivered in accordance with subsection (e)
above, or in the delivery of the accountant’s comfort letter in respect thereof pursuant to
subsection (f) above, the Company shall have the right to delay the release of the
Prospectus to investors or to the Underwriter, to delay the Closing Date and to take other
appropriate actions in each case as necessary in order to allow the
Company to comply with its agreement set forth in Section 5.10 to file such Underwriter
Prepared Issuer FWP by the time specified therein.
(k) The Underwriter represents that it has in place, and covenants that it shall
maintain, internal controls and procedures which it reasonably believes to be sufficient to
ensure full compliance with all applicable legal requirements of the 1933 Act Regulations
with respect to the generation and use of Free Writing Prospectuses in connection with the
offering of the Certificates. In addition, the Underwriter shall, for a period of at least
three years after the date hereof, maintain written and/or electronic records of the
following:
(i) any Free Writing Prospectus used by the Underwriter to solicit offers to
purchase Certificates to the extent not filed with the Commission;
(ii) regarding each Free Writing Prospectus delivered by the Underwriter to an
investor, the date of such delivery and identity of such investor; and
(iii) regarding each Contract of Sale entered into by the Underwriter, the
date, identity of the investor and the terms of such Contract of Sale, as set forth
in the related confirmation of trade.
(l) The Underwriter covenants with the Company that after the final Prospectus is
available the Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the
Certificates to a prospective investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by
the final Prospectus. It is understood and agreed that the use of written information in
accordance with the preceding sentence is not a Free Writing Prospectus and is not otherwise
restricted or governed in any way by this Agreement.
(m) The Underwriter shall not use any Free Writing Prospectus in connection with the
solicitation of offers to purchase Certificates from any prospective investor in a class of
Certificates with denominations of less than $25,000 or otherwise designated as a “retail”
class of Certificates, and the Underwriter shall not authorize any such use of any Free
Writing Prospectus by any dealer that purchases any such Certificates from the Underwriter.
10
4.5 You further agree that on or prior to the sixth day after the Closing Date, you shall
provide the Company with a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto,
setting forth (i) in the case of each class of Certificates, (a) if less than 10% of the aggregate
certificate principal balance of such class of Certificates has been sold to the public as of such
date, the value calculated pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of Exhibit F hereto, or, (b) if 10% or more
of such class of Certificates has been sold to the public as of such date but no single price is
paid for at least 10% of the aggregate certificate principal balance of such class of Certificates,
then the weighted average price at which the Certificates of such class were sold expressed as a
percentage of the certificate principal balance of such class of Certificates sold, or (c) the
first single price at which at least 10% of the aggregate certificate principal balance of such
class of Certificates was sold to the public, (ii) the prepayment assumption used in pricing each
class of Certificates, and (iii) such other information as to matters of fact as the Company may
reasonably request to enable it to comply with its reporting requirements with respect to each
class of Certificates to the extent such information can in the good faith judgment of the
Underwriter be determined by it.
4.6 The Underwriter agrees that (i) if the Prospectus is not delivered with the confirmation
in reliance on Rule 172, it will include in every confirmation sent out the notice required by Rule
173 informing the investor that the sale was made pursuant to the Registration Statement and that
the investor may request a copy of the Prospectus from the Underwriter; (ii) if a paper copy of the
Prospectus is requested by a person who receives a confirmation, Underwriter shall deliver a
printed or paper copy of such Prospectus; and (iii) if an electronic copy of the Prospectus is
delivered by the Underwriter for any purpose, such copy shall be the same electronic file
containing the Prospectus in the identical form transmitted electronically to the Underwriter by or
on behalf of the Company specifically for use by the Underwriter pursuant to this Section 4.6; for
example, if the Prospectus is delivered to the Underwriter by or on behalf of the Company in a
single electronic file in pdf format, then the Underwriter will deliver the electronic copy of the
Prospectus in the same single electronic file in pdf format. The Underwriter further agrees that
(i) if it delivers to an investor the Prospectus in pdf format, upon the Underwriter’s receipt of a
request from the investor within the period for which delivery of the Prospectus is required, the
Underwriter will promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the investor, without charge, a paper
copy of the Prospectus and (ii) it will provide to the Company any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP,
or portions thereof, which the Company is required to file with the Commission in electronic format
and will use reasonable efforts to provide to the Company such Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP, or
portions thereof, in either Microsoft Word® or Microsoft Excel® format and not in a pdf, except to
the extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, waives such requirements.
5. Agreements. The Company and you agree as follows:
5.1 Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the Prospectus with respect
to the Certificates, the Company will furnish you with a copy of each such proposed amendment or
supplement.
5.2 The Company will cause the Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement to be
transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act by means reasonably
calculated to result in filing with the Commission pursuant to said rule.
5.3 If, during the period after the first date of the public offering of the Certificates in
which a prospectus relating to the Certificates is required to be delivered under the
11
Act, any
event occurs as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then
amended or supplemented, in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to
amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company
promptly will prepare and furnish, at its own expense, to you, either amendments or supplements to
the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in
the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so
that the Prospectus will comply with law.
5.4 If the Company or the Underwriter determines or becomes aware that any Written
Communication (including without limitation any Approved Offering Materials) or oral statement
(when considered in conjunction with all information conveyed at the time of Contract of Sale)
contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the
time that a Contract of Sale was entered into, either the Company or the Underwriter may prepare
corrective information with notice to the other party, and the Underwriter shall deliver such
information in a manner reasonably acceptable to both parties, to any person with whom a
Contract of Sale was entered into, and such information shall provide any such person with the
following:
(a) Adequate disclosure of the contractual arrangement;
(b) Adequate disclosure of the person’s rights under the existing Contract of Sale at
the time termination is sought;
(c) Adequate disclosure of the new information that is necessary to correct the
misstatements or omissions in the information given at the time of the original Contract of
Sale; and
(d) A meaningful ability to elect to terminate or not terminate the prior Contract of
Sale and to elect to enter into or not enter into a new Contract of Sale.
Any costs incurred to the investor in connection with any such termination or reformation shall be
subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, as applicable.
5.5 The Company will furnish to you, without charge, a copy of the Registration Statement
(including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an underwriter or dealer
may be required by the Act, as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by
reference therein and any amendments and supplements thereto as you may reasonably request;
provided, however, that if the Prospectus is not delivered with the confirmation in
reliance on Rule 172, you will provide the notice specified in Section 4.6 in every confirmation
and will deliver a paper copy of the prospectus to those investors that request a paper copy
thereof.
5.6 The Company agrees, so long as the Certificates shall be outstanding, or until such time
as you shall cease to maintain a secondary market in the Certificates, whichever first occurs, to
deliver to you the annual statement as to compliance delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.18 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the annual statement of a firm of independent
public accountants furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, as soon as such statements are furnished to the Company.
12
5.7 The Company will endeavor to arrange for the qualification of the Certificates for sale
under the laws of such jurisdictions as you may reasonably designate and will maintain such
qualification in effect so long as required for the initial distribution of the 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.
5.8 If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Company or
[_______________] will pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of the
obligations of the Company and [_______________] under this Agreement, and will reimburse you for
any reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably
incurred by you in connection with qualification of the Certificates for sale and determination of
their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as you have reasonably
requested pursuant to Section 5.7 above and the printing of memoranda relating thereto, for any
fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Certificates, and for expenses
incurred in distributing the Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the
Underwriter. Except as herein provided, you shall
be responsible for paying all costs and expenses incurred by you, including the fees and
disbursements of your counsel, in connection with the purchase and sale of the Certificates.
5.9 If, during the period after the Closing Date in which a prospectus relating to the
Certificates is required to be delivered under the Act, the Company receives notice that a stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing the offer and sale
of the Certificates is in effect, the Company will advise you of the issuance of such stop order.
5.10 The Company shall file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and any Underwriter Prepared
Issuer FWP provided to it by the Underwriter under Section 4.4, not later than the date of first
use thereof, except that:
(a) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP or portion
thereof otherwise required to be filed that contains only (1) a description of the final
terms of the Certificates may be filed by the Company within two days of the later of the
date such final terms have been established for all classes of Certificates and the date of
first use, and (2) a description of the terms of the Certificates that does not reflect the
final terms after they have been established for all classes of all Certificates is not
required to be filed; and
(b) if the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP includes
only information of a type included in the definition of ABS Informational and Computational
Materials, the Company shall file the same within the later of two business days after the
Underwriter first provides this information to investors and the date upon which the Company
is required to file the Prospectus Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
of the Act;
provided further, that prior to the filing of any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP by the
Company, the Underwriter must comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 4.4 and that the
Company shall not be required to file any Free Writing Prospectus to the extent such Free Writing
Prospectus includes information in a Free Writing Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus or
13
Prospectus
previously filed with the Commission or that does not contain substantive changes from or additions
to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.
5.11 The Underwriter shall file any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus that has been
distributed by the Underwriter in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad, unrestricted
dissemination within the later of two business days after the Underwriter first provides this
information to investors and the date upon which the Company is required to file the Prospectus
Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Act or otherwise as required under
Rule 433 of the Act; provided, however, that the Underwriter shall not be required
to file any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus to the extent such Underwriter Free Writing
Prospectus includes information in a Free Writing Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus
previously filed with the Commission or that does not contain substantive changes from or additions
to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.
5.12 The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity
of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of
securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering)
and not as a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person.
Additionally, the Underwriter is not advising the Company or any other person as to any legal,
tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult
with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own
independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the
Underwriter shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any
review by the Underwriter of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters
relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriter and shall
not be on behalf of the Company.
6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriter. The Underwriter’s obligation to
purchase the Certificates shall be subject to the following conditions:
6.1 No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in
effect, and no proceedings for that purpose shall be pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,

7. Indemnification and Contribution.
7.1 The Company and [_______________], jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold
harmless you and each person, if any, who controls you within the meaning of either Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (i) caused by any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the
registration of the Certificates as originally filed or in any amendment thereof or other filing
incorporated by reference therein, or in the Approved Offering Materials or in the Prospectus and
the Designated Static Pool Information, taken together, or incorporated by reference therein (if
used within the period set forth in Section 5.3 hereof and as amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any 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, or (ii) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) caused by any untrue statement of a material
fact or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Underwriter Prepared Issuer
FWP or any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, that in either case was caused by (x) any error or omission in any
Pool Information or (y) any information accurately extracted from the Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and included in any Underwriter Prepared Issuer
FWP or Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus; except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission based upon any information with respect to which the Underwriter has agreed to indemnify
the Company pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.2; provided, however, that none of
the Company, [_______________] or you will be liable in any 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 relating to the Excluded Information.
7.2 You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, [_______________], their respective
directors or officers and any person controlling the Company or [_______________] within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of material fact contained in the Underwriter Information, or any omission or alleged
omission to state therein any 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, (ii)
caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not
16
misleading, (iii) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP (except for any information accurately extracted
from the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and included in
such Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, (iv) caused by any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP for which the
conditions set forth in Section 4.4(e) above are not satisfied with respect to the prior consent by
the Company, and (v) resulting from your failure to comply with Section 4.3 or failure to file any
Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed in accordance with Section 5.11; provided,
however, that the indemnification set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.2 shall not
apply to the extent of any error or omission in any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP or any
Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus that was caused by any error or omission in any Pool
Information unless you have failed to comply with Section 4.3 and such error was corrected in the
Approved Offering Materials; provided, further, that none of the Company,
[_______________] or you will be liable in any 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 relating to the Excluded Information. In addition,
you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, [_______________], their respective directors
or officers and any person controlling the Company or [_______________] against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees) caused by, resulting from, relating to, or based upon the original issue discount reported by
[_______________] or the REMIC Administrator or the determination that a Certificate is or will or
will not be issued with original issue discount, which determination resulted from incorrect
information provided by the Underwriter in the certificate described in Section 4.5 hereof.
7.3 In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section 7.1 or
Section 7.2, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom
such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon
request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in
such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the reasonable 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 mutually
agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including
any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall
not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable
for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified
parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 7.1 and by the Company or [_______________], in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 7.2. The indemnifying party may, at its option, at any time upon written
notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any proceeding and may designate counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party in connection therewith provided that the counsel
so designated would have no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such
representation. Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding the indemnifying party shall
not be liable for any
17
settlement of any proceeding, effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement
or judgment. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled
to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides
for release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding
which have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to
such settlement, without the consent of the indemnified party.
7.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified
party under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 hereof or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company and [_______________] on the one
hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Certificates but also the relative
fault of the Company or [_______________] on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Company and [_______________] on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other 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 Underwriter, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
7.5 The Company, [_______________] and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by
any other method of allocation which does not take account of the considerations referred to in
Section 7.4 above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim except
where the indemnified party is required to bear such expenses pursuant to Section 7.4; which
expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified
party, to the extent that the indemnifying party believes that it 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. 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.
7.6 The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the
representations and warranties of the Company and [_______________] in this Agreement shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii)
any investigation made by the Underwriter or on behalf of the Underwriter or any person controlling
the Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company or [_______________] and their respective
directors or officers or any person controlling the Company or [_______________] and (iii)
acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates.
18
8. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given to the
Company and [_______________], if the sale of the Certificates provided for herein is not
consummated because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or [_______________] to
comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason
the Company or [_______________] shall be unable to perform their respective obligations under this
Agreement. If you terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, the Company or
[_______________] will reimburse you for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by the
Underwriter in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Certificates.
9. Certain Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements,
representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, [_______________] or
the officers of any of the Company, [_______________], and you set forth in or made pursuant to
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement
as to the results thereof, made by you or on your behalf or made by or on behalf of the Company or
[_______________] or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons, and will
survive delivery of and payment for the Certificates.
10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on
receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriter will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to
you at [_______________], or if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and
confirmed to it at Phoenix Residential Securities, LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: President; or, if sent to [_______________] will be mailed,
delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at [_______________], [_______________],
[_______________], [_______________] [_____], Attention: [_______________].
11. 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 7 hereof, and their successors and assigns, and no other person
will have any right or obligation hereunder.
12. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof,
other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law.
13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
19
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 you.
