In addition, the Depositor was solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be rendered insolvent by, the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee and NCB Co-Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Depositor is not selling the Registered Certificates to the Underwriters and is not transferring the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee and NCB Co-Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the creditors of the Depositor.
(xviii) The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the
| - 9 - |
Depositor with respect to the offering of the Registered Certificates contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial or other advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Depositor or any other person irrespective of whether any Underwriter has advised or is advising the Depositor on other matters; (ii) no Underwriter is advising the Depositor as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction; (iii) the Depositor has consulted, to the extent it deems necessary, 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 Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Depositor with respect thereto; (iv) any review by the Underwriters of the Depositor, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Depositor; and (v) the Underwriters’ obligations to the Depositor in respect of the offering, purchase and sale of the Registered Certificates are set forth in this Agreement in their entirety.
(xix) At the Closing Date, the respective Classes of Registered Certificates listed on Schedule I hereto shall have been assigned ratings no lower than those set forth in the Time of Sale Information by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations retained to provide such ratings (the “Rating Agencies”), and such ratings shall not have been placed on negative credit watch or negative review by such Rating Agency.
(xx) The Depositor is not, and on the date on which the initial bona fide offer of the Registered Certificates is made will not be, an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act.
(xxi) At or prior to the time when sales to investors of the Registered Certificates were first made as determined in accordance with Rule 159 of the 1933 Act (the “Time of Sale”), which was approximately 5:45 p.m. (New York time) on September 27, 2024 with respect to the Registered Certificates, the Depositor had prepared the following information (the “Time of Sale Information”): (x) the Free Writing Prospectus dated September 23, 2024, designated as a Structural and Collateral Term Sheet and relating to the Registered Certificates (the “Term Sheet”) and (y) the Preliminary Prospectus. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Free Writing Prospectus” shall mean a “free writing prospectus” as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the 1933 Act. If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Depositor and the Underwriters have determined that the Time of Sale Information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted 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 and the applicable Underwriters have terminated their old purchase contracts and entered into new purchase contracts with investors in the Registered Certificates, then “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information available to investors at the time of entry into such new purchase contracts, including any information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (“Corrective Information”).
| - 10 - |
(xxii) At the Closing Date, each of the representations and warranties of the Depositor set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements will be true and correct in all material respects.
(xxiii) The Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or 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 that the Depositor makes no representation and warranty with respect to (x) any Underwriter Information (as defined below) in such Time of Sale Information, (y) any Mortgage Loan Seller Covered Information in such Time of Sale Information or (z) any Master Servicer Covered Information, Special Servicer Covered Information, Primary Servicer Covered Information, Outside Special Servicer Covered Information, Certificate Administrator Covered Information, Trustee Covered Information, NCB Co-Trustee Covered Information, Operating Advisor Covered Information, Asset Representations Reviewer Covered Information or the Third Party Purchaser Covered Information.
(xxiv) To the extent that the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Underwriters are to receive any notices or reports, or have any other rights thereunder, the Depositor will enforce the rights of the Underwriters under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(xxv) The Depositor (including its agents and representatives other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Registered Certificates other than (A) any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the 1933 Act or Rule 134 under the 1933 Act, (B) the Preliminary Prospectus or any supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus that may be required to be filed with the Commission under Rule 424(h)(2) under the 1933 Act, (C) the Prospectus, (D) the Term Sheet and (E) each other written communication approved in writing in advance by MS&Co. (each such communication referred to in clause (D) and this clause (E) constituting an “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433(h) under the 1933 Act) being referred to as an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”). Each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus complied or, if used after the date hereof, will comply, in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, has been filed or will be filed in accordance with Section 4(b)(v) (to the extent required thereby) and, did not at the Time of Sale, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statements of a material fact or, (when read in conjunction with the other Time of Sale Information) 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 that the Depositor makes no representation and warranty with respect to (x) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Depositor in writing by any Underwriter expressly for use in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (y) any Mortgage Loan Seller Covered Information in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (z) any Master Servicer Covered Information,

(D) To the extent any Defective Free Writing Prospectus was defective as a result of incorrect Issuer Information being delivered to an Underwriter, the Depositor shall provide such corrected Issuer Information upon request from such Underwriter. The Depositor shall also notify the other Underwriters of such incorrect Issuer Information, to the extent it is provided notice hereunder.
| - 23 - |

| - 25 - |
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 subject to such service of process.
(e) The Depositor shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs and expenses in connection with the transactions herein contemplated, including, but not limited to, the fees and disbursements of its counsel; the costs and expenses of printing (or otherwise reproducing) and delivering the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Registered Certificates; the fees and disbursements of accountants for the Depositor; the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses in connection with the qualification or exemption of the Registered Certificates under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, including filing fees and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection therewith, in connection with the preparation of any “Blue Sky” survey and in connection with any determination of the eligibility of the Registered Certificates for investment by institutional investors and the preparation of any legal investment survey; the expenses of printing any such “Blue Sky” survey and legal investment survey; the cost and expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto), the Preliminary Prospectus, the Term Sheet, ABS Informational and Computational Material and the Prospectus, the preparation and printing of this Agreement and the delivery to the Underwriters of such copies of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Term Sheet and the Prospectus as you may reasonably request; the fees of the Rating Agencies that we hire to rate the Registered Certificates; upfront costs and fees of other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters.

(f) To the extent that the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Underwriters are to receive any notices or reports, or have any other rights thereunder, the Depositor shall enforce the rights of the Underwriters under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall not consent to any amendment of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that would adversely affect such rights of the Underwriters.
(g) The Depositor shall, as to itself, and as to the Trust Fund, cause the Trustee and NCB Co-Trustee (or the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and NCB Co-Trustee) to be required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to, satisfy and comply with all reporting requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

In addition, each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses, as incurred, arising out of any (i) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact, or omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the Underwriter Information, and (ii) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact, or omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus or that arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless (A) to the extent the Depositor is entitled to indemnification or contribution therefor (I) under the indemnity of any Mortgage Loan Seller set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (II) set forth in any Indemnification Agreement, (B) with respect to information that is also contained in the Time of Sale Information, or (C) to the extent such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information supplied by the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller to an Underwriter which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter at any time prior to the Time of Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence will apply only if such misstatement or omission was not also a misstatement or omission in the Prospectus. Furthermore, no Underwriter shall be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless the Depositor or any other person or entity otherwise entitled to such indemnification or to be held harmless under this subsection (b) for any liability that is based upon or arises from the information set forth in the first sentence of the ninth paragraph and the first sentence of the tenth paragraph under the
| - 33 - |
caption “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the Preliminary Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the corresponding language in the Prospectus to the extent that both (1) such information is based upon and is in conformity with the information set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus (or such amendment or supplement thereto) or the Prospectus, respectively, that is not Underwriter Information and (2) such non-Underwriter Information either contains an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or fails to comply with Regulation AB.
It is hereby acknowledged that the statements set forth in (i) the penultimate paragraph on the cover of the Preliminary Prospectus and (ii) the first and third sentences of the fourth paragraph, the first sentence of the ninth paragraph, the first sentence of the tenth paragraph, the eleventh paragraph, the twelfth paragraph and the thirteenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the Preliminary Prospectus and, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), the corresponding language in the Prospectus, constitute the only written information furnished to the Depositor by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(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 under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof (unless the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure) or any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity provided by this Section 8. Upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying 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 fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred. 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 in writing 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 (or, in the event the Depositor or MSMCH is the indemnifying party, one counsel for each Underwriter) (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its or their own counsel for 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. Unless it shall assume the defense
| - 34 - |
of any proceeding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel or any other expenses for which the indemnifying party is obligated under this subsection, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. If an 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 an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, which release 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, without the consent of the indemnified party.
(d) The indemnity provided by 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 Depositor, MSMCH, the Underwriters, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Depositor, MSMCH or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Registered Certificates.
The indemnity provided by this Section 8 will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter, the Depositor or MSMCH may otherwise have.
| 9. | Contribution. |
(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided by Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, or if such indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is unavailable or insufficient in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, the Depositor and MSMCH, jointly and severally, and the Underwriters, severally, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by the indemnity provided by Section 8 hereof incurred by the Depositor and the Underwriters, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Depositor and MSMCH on the one hand and each Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Registered Certificates 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 Depositor and MSMCH on the one hand and of each Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations (taking into account the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the
| - 35 - |
opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission or failure to comply, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances). The relative benefits received by the Depositor and MSMCH on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same respective portions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor from the sale of the Registered Certificates and the total underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees received by the Underwriters in connection therewith bear to the aggregate offering price of the Registered Certificates. The relative fault of the Depositor and MSMCH on the one hand and of each Underwriter 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 Depositor and MSMCH or by the Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 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; and no Underwriter shall be obligated to contribute more than its share of underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees pertaining to the Registered Certificates less any damages otherwise paid by such Underwriter with respect to any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense. It is hereby acknowledged that the respective Underwriters’ obligations under this Section 9 shall be several and not joint. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and such Underwriter’s officers and directors, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Depositor, each officer of the Depositor who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor 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 Depositor.
(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the considerations referred to in subsection (a) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to in Section 8 hereof or this Section 9 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, 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. The remedies provided for in Section 8 hereof and this Section 9 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.
(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 Depositor, MSMCH, the Underwriters, any of their respective
| - 36 - |
directors or officers, or any person controlling the Depositor, MSMCH or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Registered Certificates.
| 10. | Default by an Underwriter. |
If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Registered Certificates agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally and not jointly (in the respective proportions which the portion of the Registered Certificates set forth below their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Registered Certificates set forth below the names of all the remaining Underwriters) to purchase the Registered Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated under this Section 10 to purchase Certificates of a Class that it is not otherwise obligated to purchase under this Agreement, and provided, however, that in the event that the amount of Registered Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Registered Certificates set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Registered Certificates, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all of the Registered Certificates, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Depositor, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 14 hereof. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date for the Registered Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding ten (10) business days, as you shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Depositor and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
| 11. | Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. |
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Depositor and MSMCH 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 Depositor and MSMCH, 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 Registered Certificates to the Underwriters.
| 12. | Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. |
(a) In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.
| - 37 - |
(b) In the event that a Covered Party or any BHC Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, any Default Right under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party is permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Right could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a State of the United States.
“BHC Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. §1841(k).

Part 47 applies in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
| 13. | Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings. |
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 12, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a Covered Party with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Affiliate of such party becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding (each an “Insolvency Proceeding”), except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.
(b) After a BHC Affiliate of a Covered Party has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Party with respect to this Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.
| 14. | Termination of Agreement; Survival. |
(a) The Underwriters may terminate their obligations under this Agreement, by notice to the Depositor, 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 the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition,
| - 38 - |
financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Depositor, MSMCH or any other Mortgage Loan Seller whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (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 any Underwriter, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Registered Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Registered Certificates, (iii) if trading in any securities of the Depositor or of MSMCH has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market or the over the counter market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal or New York authorities, or (v) if a material disruption in securities settlement, payments or clearance services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred and be continuing on the Closing Date, or the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of such Underwriter, impractical to market the Registered Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Registered Certificates.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 14, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 14(c) hereof.
(c) The provisions of Section 5(e) hereof regarding the payment of costs and expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement, whether such termination is pursuant to this Section 14 or otherwise.
