(a) WEST shall advise the Initial Purchaser promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Offering Documents and shall not amend or supplement the Offering Documents without the Initial Purchaser’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Neither the consent of the Initial Purchaser, nor the Initial Purchaser’s delivery on behalf of WEST of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof.
(b) WEST shall immediately notify the Initial Purchaser, and confirm such notice in writing, if at any time during the Offering Period or the Resale Period, any material changes in or affecting the business, operation, financial condition, properties or assets of either WEST or Xxxxxx which (i) make any statement in the Offering Documents false or misleading or (ii) are not disclosed in the Offering Documents.
(c) In addition, if at any time during the Offering Period or the Resale Period, any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum in order that the Final Offering Memorandum will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements in them, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum to comply with applicable law, WEST will promptly furnish the Initial Purchaser an amendment or supplement to the Offering Documents as may be necessary to correct such statement or remedy such omission or otherwise comply with law, together with, if requested by the Initial Purchaser, a certificate of an officer or trustee of WEST as to the material accuracy and lack of material omission of the Offering Documents as so amended or supplemented (it being understood that, if such event relates solely to the activities of the Initial Purchaser, or if the Initial Purchaser shall not have completed the resale of the Offered Notes within 60 days of the Closing Date, then the Initial Purchaser shall be responsible for the expense of preparing any such amendment or supplement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, WEST shall not be obligated to prepare any amendments or supplements to the Offering Documents to reflect any reductions in the principal balances of the Offered Notes occurring after the Closing Date (or any information based on the reduced principal balances, including any hypothetical payment scenarios).
16

(j) WEST agrees that it shall not make any offer or sale of securities if, as a result of the doctrine of “integration” referred to in Rule 502 promulgated under the Act, such offer or sale could be deemed to render invalid (for the purpose of (i) the sale of the Offered Notes to the Initial Purchaser or (ii) the resale of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchaser to others) the exemption from the registration requirements of the Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof or by Rule 144A or by Regulation S thereunder or otherwise.

(iii) The Security Trust Agreement creates a valid lien in favor of the Security Trustee upon all of the Collateral as granted thereunder; the Security Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Offered Notes from time to time will have, upon the filing of certain financing statements, a perfected security interest in the Collateral.
(iv) WEST is not an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.
(v) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the issuance or sale of the Offered Notes, except for security interest filings contemplated in the Security Trust Agreement and such as may be required under state securities laws.

22
this Agreement or any Related Document to which it is a party; and no such actions, suits or proceedings are, to such counsel’s knowledge, threatened or contemplated.
(vii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other Related Documents to which any WEST Entity is a party, and the issuance and sale of the Offered Notes and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over such WEST Entity or any of its properties, or any agreement or instrument to which such WEST Entity is a party or by which such WEST Entity or any of its properties is bound or subject, or the organizational or formation documents of such WEST Entity; and WEST has full power and authority to authorize, issue and sell the Offered Notes as contemplated by this Agreement.
(viii) Such counsel have no reason to believe that the Offering Documents, or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

23
classified as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(xiii) In the event of a bankruptcy case involving Xxxxxx as debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, a court properly presented with the facts would hold that Xxxxxx’x transfer of the equity interest in WEST Funding to WEST pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement would constitute a transfer of ownership, and not a mere transfer of a security interest securing a borrowing by Xxxxxx, and that accordingly such equity interest so transferred (and the property and assets of WEST Funding and its subsidiaries) and the proceeds thereof would not constitute “property of the estate” of the transferor for purposes of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code and would not as a result of such bankruptcy case be subject to the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(xiv) In the event of a bankruptcy case involving Xxxxxx as debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, a court properly presented with the facts would not grant an order substantively consolidating the assets and liabilities of WEST and its subsidiaries with those of Xxxxxx.

In case any action is brought against any indemnified party and the indemnifying party is notified of its commencement, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in it, and, if it elects by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the notice referred to in the preceding sentence, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the action (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to the
28
indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense of the action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) for the indemnified party), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or claims in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as incurred as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or claims in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by WEST or Xxxxxx on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser on the other, from the offering of the Offered Notes. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, or if such indemnified party failed to give notice required under Section 7(c) hereof and such indemnifying party was prejudiced in a material respect by such failure, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of WEST or Xxxxxx on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or breaches of representations, warranties or agreements which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or claims in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
(e) The relative benefits received by Xxxxxx and WEST on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the proceeds from the offering of the Offered Notes (before deducting expenses) received by Xxxxxx and WEST and the total fee/commission received by the Initial Purchaser bear to the aggregate offering price of the Offered Notes. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information other than the Initial Purchaser Information, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchaser Information on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Xxxxxx, WEST and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata
29
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable to an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim (which shall be limited as provided in subsection (c) above if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of any such action in accordance with the provisions thereof). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to make any contribution under this Agreement that in the aggregate exceeds the fee/commission received by the Initial Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to a contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements in this Section shall remain in full force regardless of
(i) any termination of this Agreement,
(ii) any investigation made by Willis, WEST, the Initial Purchaser, any of their respective directors, trustees (in the case of WEST) or officers, or any person controlling any of them, and
(iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Notes.
8. Termination.
(a) This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above and shall remain in force until terminated as provided in this Section 8.
(b) The obligations of the Initial Purchaser under this Agreement shall be terminable by the Initial Purchaser (subject to Section 7(f)), in its absolute discretion and without penalty, by notice given to and received by WEST prior to delivery and payment for the Offered Notes, if prior to that time there shall have occurred and be continuing any of the events described in Section 6(b) hereof.
(c) The obligations of Xxxxxx and WEST under this Agreement (other than the obligations under clauses (d), (e) and (f) of Section 2, and subject to Section 7(f)) shall be terminable by Xxxxxx and WEST jointly, in their absolute discretion and without penalty, by notice given to and received by the Initial Purchaser if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by August 31, 2005 (and the failure of such Closing Date to occur is not directly attributable to an action or inaction of Xxxxxx or WEST).
(d) If the Initial Purchaser terminates its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, or if Xxxxxx and WEST terminate their obligations under the Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, Xxxxxx and WEST each agree to reimburse the Initial Purchaser for all out-of pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of
30
counsel) that shall have been incurred by the Initial Purchaser in connection with the proposed offering of the Offered Notes.
9. Representations, Warranties, Covenants, and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities in this Agreement shall remain in full force, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, Xxxxxx, WEST or any of the controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Notes or termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
10. Notices. All communications under this Agreement will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and
• if sent to the Initial Purchaser, will be mailed, delivered, or either telegraphed or transmitted by telecopier and confirmed to them c/o UBS Securities LLC, 11th Floor, 1285 Avenue of the Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: ABS Banking Group, fax (212) 713 -7999 (or at another address furnished by the Initial Purchaser to Xxxxxx and WEST in accordance with this Section 10);

11. Amendments, Waivers; Counterparts; Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated except by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the party against whom the change, waiver, discharge, or termination is sought to be enforced. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original and all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
This Agreement is not assignable by any party hereto; provided, however, that the Initial Purchaser may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in writing to any of its respective affiliates, provided that the rights of WEST and Xxxxxx shall not be affected by such assignment. Upon an assignment by the Initial Purchaser pursuant to this Section, the Initial Purchaser shall cause the assignee to assume in writing all of its obligations and liabilities hereunder and shall notify WEST and Xxxxxx of such assignment. Upon the assumption in writing by the assignee of the Initial Purchaser’s obligations and liabilities hereunder, the Initial Purchaser shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder.
31
12. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon its parties and the officers, directors, trustees and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 and their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation under this Agreement.
13. Severability of Provisions. Any part, provision, representation, warranty, or covenant of this Agreement that is prohibited or is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties to this Agreement waive any provision of law that prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision of this Agreement.
14. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of Xxxxxx, WEST and the Initial Purchaser hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and Xxxxxx, WEST and the Initial Purchaser hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or Federal court. Xxxxxx, WEST and the Initial Purchaser hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent that they may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. Xxxxxx and WEST and the Initial Purchaser agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
15. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY (BUT NO OTHER JUDICIAL REMEDIES) IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
