The Certificates Notes referred to in these materials are being sold when, as and if issued. The issuer is not obligated to issue such Certificates Notes or any similar security and the underwriter’s 's obligation to deliver such Certificates Notes is subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement with the issuer and the availability of such Certificates Notes when, as and if issued by the issuer. You are advised that the terms of the CertificatesNotes, 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 Notes may be split, combined or eliminated), at any time prior to issuance or availability of a final prospectus.

It is expected that the characteristics of the final mortgage loan pool will differ, and may differ materially, from the characteristics of the preliminary pool of mortgage loans and the preliminary information may differ materially from information of a similar type if derived from the final mortgage loan pool. Although the characteristics of the final mortgage loan pool are expected to be within the parameters for the mortgage loan characteristics as set forth in the tables entitled ["collateral stipulations - mortgage pool characteristics"] [accompanying Approved Offering Materials], they are not expected to conform in all material respects to the characteristics of the preliminary mortgage loan pool.

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 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 a 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 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 issuer is not obligated to issue such Certificates or any similar security and the underwriter’s 's obligation to deliver such Certificates is subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement with the issuer and the availability of such Certificates when, as and if issued by the issuer. 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 '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 issuer does not deliver such Certificates, the underwriter will notify you, and neither the issuer 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 issuer nor any underwriter will be liable for any costs or damages whatsoever arising from or related to such non-delivery. (c) Any Preliminary Pool Information shall not be provided to prospective investors unless such Preliminary Pool Information is accompanied by the Approved Offering Materials and the following statements (or substantially similar statements approved by the Company) appear prominently thereon: The information set forth below, entitled "preliminary information", was derived from a preliminary pool of mortgage loans which is not representative of the mortgage loans that will comprise the final mortgage loan pool. The preliminary pool of mortgage loans represents only a subset of the final mortgage loan pool and mortgage loans that are included in the preliminary mortgage loan pool may be removed from the final mortgage loan pool. It is expected that the characteristics of the final mortgage loan pool will differ, and may differ materially, from the characteristics of the preliminary pool of mortgage loans and the preliminary information may differ materially from information of a similar type if derived from the final mortgage loan pool. Although the characteristics of the final mortgage loan pool are expected to be within the parameters for the mortgage loan characteristics as set forth in the tables entitled ["collateral stipulations - mortgage pool characteristics"] [accompanying Approved Offering Materials], they are not expected to conform in all material respects to the characteristics of the preliminary mortgage loan pool. You should refer to the parameters for the mortgage loan characteristics in the tables entitled ["collateral stipulations - mortgage pool characteristics"] in the accompanying [Approved Offering Materials]. 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 below), (y) Permitted Additional Materials or (z) information accurately extracted from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and included in any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP or Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus.

(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 Underwriter shall notify the Company thereof as soon as practical but in any event within one business day after discovery.

(b) any 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 a 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 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 issuer 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 issuer issuing entity and the availability of such Certificates when, as and if issued by the issuerissuing 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 issuer issuing entity does not deliver such Certificates, the underwriter will notify you, and neither the issuer 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 issuer issuing entity nor any underwriter will be liable for any costs or damages whatsoever arising from or related to such non-delivery. (c) Any Preliminary Pool Information shall not be provided to prospective investors unless such Preliminary Pool Information is accompanied by the Approved Offering Materials and the following statements (or substantially similar statements approved by the Company) appear prominently thereon: The information set forth below, entitled “preliminary information”, was derived from a preliminary pool of mortgage loans which is not representative of the mortgage loans that will comprise the final mortgage loan pool. The preliminary pool of mortgage loans represents only a subset of the final mortgage loan pool and mortgage loans that are included in the preliminary mortgage loan pool may be removed from the final mortgage loan pool. It is expected that the characteristics of the final mortgage loan pool will differ, and may differ materially, from the characteristics of the preliminary pool of mortgage loans and the preliminary information may differ materially from information of a similar type if derived from the final mortgage loan pool. Although the characteristics of the final mortgage loan pool are expected to be within the parameters for the mortgage loan characteristics as set forth in the tables entitled [“collateral stipulations — mortgage pool characteristics”] [accompanying Approved Offering Materials], they are not expected to conform in all material respects to the characteristics of the preliminary mortgage loan pool. You should refer to the parameters for the mortgage loan characteristics in the tables entitled [“collateral stipulations — mortgage pool characteristics”] in the accompanying [Approved Offering Materials]. 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 belowabove), (y) Permitted Additional Materials or (z) information accurately extracted from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and included in any Underwriter Prepared Issuer FWP or any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus.
