the Notes, including a form of prospectus, has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and either (i) has
been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), and is not proposed to be amended or (ii) is proposed to be amended
by amendment or post-effective amendment. If the Seller does not propose to
amend the registration statement and if any post-effective amendment to the
registration statement has been filed with the Commission prior to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the most recent post-effective
amendment has been declared effective by the Commission or has become

462(c)"). For purposes of this Agreement, "Effective Time" means (i) if the
Seller has advised the Representative that it does not propose to amend the
registration statement, the date and time as of which the registration
statement, or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto (if any)
filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, was declared
effective by the Commission or has become effective upon filing pursuant to
Rule 462(c) or (ii) if the Seller has advised the Representative that it
proposes to file an amendment or post-effective amendment to the
registration statement, the date and time as of which the registration
statement, as amended by such amendment or post-effective amendment, as the
case may be, is declared effective by the Commission. "Effective Date"
means the date of the Effective Time. The registration statement, as
amended at the Effective Time, including all information (if any) deemed to
be a part of the registration statement as of the Effective Time pursuant
to Rule 430A(b) under the Act ("Rule 430A(b)"), is hereinafter referred to
as the "Registration Statement". The form of prospectus relating to the
Notes, as first filed with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance
with Rule 424(b) under the Act ("Rule 424(b)") or, if no such filing is
required, as included in the Registration Statement at the Effective Time,
is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus". No document has been or
will be prepared or distributed in reliance on Rule 434 under the Act.
(b) If the Effective Time is prior to the execution and delivery of
this Agreement: (i) on the Effective Date, the Registration Statement
conformed in all respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission (the "Rules and Regulations") and did not
include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading and (ii) on the date of this Agreement
and on the Closing Date, the Registration Statement conforms, and at the
time of filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus will conform, in all respects to the
requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and neither of such
documents includes, or will include, any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits, or will omit, to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
If the Effective Time is subsequent to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement: (i) on the Effective Date, the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the
Act and the Rules and Regulations, (ii) on the date of this Agreement and
on the Closing Date, neither of such documents will include any untrue
statement of a material fact or will omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading and (iii) no additional registration statement related to
the Notes pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act has been or will be filed.
The two preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from

specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only
such information is that described as such in Section 7(b).
(c) The Seller has been duly formed and is validly existing as a

transactions contemplated herein or in the Basic Documents. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents, and the
issuance of the Notes and the Certificates and the sale by the Seller of
the Notes and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and 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, domestic or foreign,
having jurisdiction over the Seller or any of its properties, or any
agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which the
Seller is bound or to which any of the properties of the Seller or any such
subsidiary is subject, or the MART Trust Agreement or other organizational
documents of the Seller, and the Seller has full power and authority to
authorize and issue the Notes and the Certificates and to sell the Notes as

Trustee to authenticate and execute the Certificates and, when executed,

permits issued by appropriate governmental agencies or bodies necessary to
conduct the business now operated by it and has not received any notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such
certificate, authority or permit that, if determined adversely to the
Seller, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse
effect on the Seller.
(i) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no pending
actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Seller or any of its
properties that, if determined adversely to the Seller, would individually
or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the condition

would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or the other Basic Documents to which
it is a party, or which are otherwise material in the context of the
issuance and sale of the Notes or the issuance of the Certificates; and no
such actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or, to the Seller's
knowledge, contemplated.

by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating

Underwriters:
(a) If the Effective Time is prior to the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Seller will file the Prospectus with the Commission
pursuant to and in accordance with subparagraph (1) (or, if applicable and
if consented to by the Representative, subparagraph (4)) of Rule 424(b) not

effectiveness of the Registration Statement (if the Effective Time is
subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement) and of any
amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
and of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in
respect of the Registration Statement and will use its best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as
possible its lifting, if issued.
(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Notes is
required to be delivered under the Act in connection with sales by any
Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus
as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the
Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Seller will promptly notify the
Representative of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the
Commission (subject to the Representative's prior review and consent
pursuant to Section 5(b)), at its own expense, an amendment or supplement
which will correct such statement or omission, or an amendment which will
effect such compliance. Neither the Representative's consent to, nor the
Underwriters' delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall
constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.
(d) As soon as practicable, but not later than the Availability Date
(as defined below), the Seller will cause the Trust to make generally
available to Noteholders an earnings statement of the Trust covering a
period of at least 12 months beginning after the Effective Date which will

furnished on or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the business day
following the later of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
Effective Time. All other such documents shall be so furnished as soon as
available. The Seller will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to
the Underwriters all such documents.

offering and sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment

distribution of the Notes.
(g) For a period from the date of this Agreement until the retirement
of the Notes (i) the Seller will furnish to the Representative and, upon

Sale and Servicing Agreement and the annual independent certified public

Servicing Agreement or the other Basic Documents.

the Seller concerning the Trust as the Representative from time to time may
reasonably request.
(i) The Seller will pay all expenses incident to the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement and will reimburse the Underwriters
(if and to the extent incurred by them) for any filing fees and other
expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them in
connection with qualification of the Notes for sale and determination of
their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as
the Representative designates and the printing of memoranda relating
thereto, for any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating
of the Notes, for any travel expenses of the Seller's officers and
employees and any other expenses of the Seller in connection with attending
or hosting meetings with prospective purchasers of the Notes and for
expenses incurred in distributing the preliminary prospectuses and the
Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto).
(j) To the extent, if any, that the ratings provided with respect to
the Notes by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Investors Service, Inc. ("▇▇▇▇▇'▇"), Standard &
Poor's, a Division of The ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Companies, Inc. ("Standard & Poor's")

Poor's, the "Rating Agencies") is conditional upon the furnishing of
documents or the taking of any other action by the Seller, the Seller shall
furnish such documents and take any such other action.
(k) On or before each Transfer Date, the Seller shall cause the
computer records of the Seller and MMCA relating to the Receivables to be
conveyed to the Trust on such Transfer Date to be marked to show the
Trust's absolute ownership of the Receivables and from and after the
related Transfer Date neither the Seller nor MMCA shall take any action
inconsistent with the Trust's ownership of such Receivables other than as
permitted by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
6. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of
the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Notes on the Closing Date
will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the
part of the Seller herein, to the accuracy of the statements of the Seller's
officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the
Seller of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions
precedent:
(a) The Representative shall have received a letter, dated the date of
delivery thereof (which, if the Effective Time is prior to the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, shall be on or prior to the date of this
Agreement or, if the Effective Time is subsequent to the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, shall be prior to the filing of the amendment
or post-effective amendment to the registration statement to be filed
shortly prior to such Effective Time), of Ernst & Young LLP, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Representative and counsel for the
Underwriters, confirming that they are independent public accountants
within the meaning of the Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and
stating in effect that they have performed certain specified procedures (i)
as a result of which they determined that certain information of an
accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is limited to
accounting, financial or statistical information derived from the general
accounting records of the Trust, MMCA and the Seller) set forth in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any supplements thereto),
agrees with the accounting records of the Trust, MMCA and the Seller,
excluding any questions of legal interpretation, and (ii) with respect to
the Receivables.
(b) If the Effective Time is not prior to the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the Effective Time shall have occurred not later than
10:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of this Agreement or such later date
as shall have been consented to by the Representative. If the Effective
Time is prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission in accordance with the
Rules and Regulations and Section 5(a). Prior to the Closing Date, no stop
order or other order of the Commission suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that
purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Seller or
the Representative, shall be contemplated by the Commission.
(c) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there
shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development or event
involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other),
business, properties or results of operations or retail motor vehicle
financing business or sport-utility vehicle financing business of the
Trust, the Seller, Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc., Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation or MMCA which, in the judgment of a majority in interest
of the Underwriters (including the Representative), materially impairs the
investment quality of each Class of Notes or makes it impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale
of and payment for each Class of Notes on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus; (ii) any suspension or limitation of
trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any
setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange; (iii) any banking
moratorium declared by Federal, California or New York authorities; (iv) a
material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services
in the United States; or (v) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities in
which the United States is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or
any substantial national or international calamity or emergency or any
material adverse change in general economic, political or financial
conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial
markets of the United States) such that, in the judgment of a majority in
interest of the Underwriters (including the Representative), the effect of
any such outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity, emergency or material
adverse change makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with
completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for each Class
of Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
(d) The Representative shall have received an opinion of (A) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.

the Trust, in each case dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and
substance to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters and, in

York UCC) with respect to "financial assets" (as defined in Section

the "Securities Entitlements"), (ii) the provisions of the Control
Agreement for purposes of Article 8 of the New York UCC are effective to
perfect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Securities
Entitlements and (iii) no security interest of any other creditor of the
Trust will be prior to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in
such Securities Entitlements.

subsection will be a date not more than three days prior to the Closing

(u) The Representative shall have received from Skadden, Arps, Slate,

opinion rendered by such counsel to any Rating Agency in connection with
the rating of any Class of Notes, as if each such opinion were addressed to
the Underwriters.
The Representative shall receive from Ernst & Young LLP, a reliance

delivered to either Standard & Poor's or ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ in connection with each
transfer to the Trust of Subsequent Receivables.

The Seller will furnish the Representative with such conformed copies
of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Representative
reasonably requests.
The Representative may in its sole discretion waive on behalf of the

7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Seller will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
related preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Seller
will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission
from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Seller by any Underwriter through the
Representative specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed
that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the
information described as such in Section 7(b); and provided, further, that
with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity
agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit
of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities purchased the Notes concerned, to the extent that
the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
was eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus, which Prospectus was required
to be delivered by such Underwriter under the Act to such person and was
not so delivered if the Seller had previously furnished copies thereof to
such Underwriter.
(b) Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold
harmless the Seller against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which the Seller may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related
preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each
case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Seller by such Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use
therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by the Seller in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, it being
understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any
Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus
furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the figures on the cover page
concerning the terms of the offering by the Underwriters, the concession
and reallowance figures appearing under the heading "Underwriting" and the
information contained in the sixth paragraph under the heading
"Underwriting".
(c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section
of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party of the
claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the
failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying
party from any liability which it may have under Section 7(a) or 7(b),
except to the extent the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced
by such failure; and provided further, however, that the failure to notify
any indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
Section 7(a) or (b). In any such action, 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 mutually agreed to
the retention of such counsel, (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 or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to
appoint counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party. No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party,
effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of
which any indemnified party is or could have been a party if indemnity
could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such
settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party
from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action
and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or
7(b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 7(a) or 7(b) above
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Seller on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other
from the offering of the Notes 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 Seller on the one hand and the
Underwriters 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 benefits received
by the Seller on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the
offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Seller
bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the
Underwriters in respect of the 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 supplied by the
Seller or the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first
sentence of 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 action or claim which is the subject of
this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d),
no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount under this
Agreement and under the Note Indemnification Agreement in excess of the
amount by which the underwriting discount or commission allocable to the
Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount
of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. 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. The
Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several
in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(e) The obligations of the Seller under this Section shall be in
addition to any liability which the Seller may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations
of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any
liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Seller,
to each officer of the Seller who has signed the Registration Statement and
to each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of the
Act.
8. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in
their obligations to purchase Notes hereunder on the Closing Date and the
aggregate principal amount of Notes that such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total
principal amount of Notes that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the
Closing Date, the Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the
Seller for the purchase of such Notes by other persons, including any of the
Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the
non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their
respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Notes that such defaulting
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date. If any
Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal amount of
Notes with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the
total principal amount of Notes that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase
on the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the
Seller for the purchase of such Notes by other persons are not made within 36
hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the
part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Seller except as provided in
Section 9. As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any person
substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a
defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective
indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the
Seller or its officers and of the several Underwriters 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 or on behalf
of any Underwriter or the Seller or any of their respective representatives,
officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of
and payment for the Notes. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8
or if for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not
consummated, the Seller shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or
reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the
Seller and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in effect, and if
any Notes have been purchased hereunder the representations and warranties in
Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect. If
the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason
other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8, the Seller will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by
them in connection with the offering of the Notes.
10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent
to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or sent by facsimile and
confirmed to the Representative at _____________________, ____________, New
York, New York _____, Attention: ____________, Telecopy: (___) ___________, or,
if sent to the Seller, will be mailed, delivered or sent by facsimile and
confirmed to it at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇,
Attention: Secretary/Treasurer, Telecopy: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇; provided, however,
that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 7 will be mailed,
delivered or telecopied and confirmed to such Underwriter.
11. No Bankruptcy Petition. Each Underwriter agrees that, prior to the date
which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all securities issued
by the Seller or by a trust for which the Seller was the depositor which
securities were rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, it will not institute against, or join any other person in
instituting against, the Seller any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any Federal or
state bankruptcy or similar law.
12. 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, and no other person
will have any right or obligation hereunder.
13. Representation of Underwriters. The Representative will act for the
several Underwriters in connection with this financing, and any action under
this Agreement or the Note Indemnification Agreement taken by the Representative
will be binding upon all the Underwriters.
14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.
15. Applicable Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.
(b) The Seller hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New
York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Underwriting Agreement
If the foregoing is in accordance with the Representative's
understanding of our agreement, kindly sign and return to the Seller one of the
counterparts hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement between the
Seller and the several Underwriters in accordance with its terms.
