Dear Sirs:
First Union Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., a North Carolina
corporation (the "Company"), has issued its Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, First Union National Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust Series 2000-C2
(the "Certificates"), in 21 classes (each, a "Class") as designated in the
Prospectus Supplement (as defined below). The Company further proposes to sell
to First Union Securities, Inc. ("FUS") and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ &
▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated ("MLPF&S") (each an "Underwriter" and together, the
"Underwriters") the Certificates set forth in Schedule I hereto (the
"Underwritten Certificates") in the respective original principal and notional
amounts set forth in Schedule I. The Certificates represent in the aggregate the
entire
beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting of a
segregated pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of 162 mortgage loans having an aggregate
principal balance of $1,142,819,332 as of the Cut-Off Date (the "Mortgage
Loans") secured by first liens on the borrowers' fee or leasehold interests in
multifamily and commercial properties (the "Mortgaged Properties"). The
Certificates will be issued on November 29, 2000 (the "Closing Date") pursuant
to a pooling and servicing agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),
dated as of November 1, 2000 (the "Cut-Off Date"), among the Company, First
Union National Bank, as master servicer ("FUNB" or the "Master Servicer"), and
as special servicer (the "Special Servicer"), and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank Minnesota,
N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Mortgage Loans will be acquired by the
Company from First Union National Bank (the "Mortgage Loan Seller") on the
Closing Date pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase agreement (the "Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement"), dated as of November 1, 2000, between the Mortgage Loan
Seller and the Company. Nineteen of the Mortgage Loans, having an aggregate
principal balance of $194,127,701 as of the Cut-Off Date, were purchased by the
Mortgage Loan Seller from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Capital Inc. ("MLMC") and
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Lending, Inc. ("MLML" and, together with MLMC and the
Mortgage Loan Seller, the "Mortgage Loan Originators") pursuant to a mortgage
loan purchase agreement dated as of November 10, 2000 among MLMC, MLML and the
Mortgage Loan Seller (the "ML Mortgage Loan Purchaser Agreement" and, together
with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the "Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements"). The Underwritten Certificates and the Mortgage Pool are described
more fully in Schedule I hereto and in a registration statement furnished to you
by the Company.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. (i) The Company represents and warrants
to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:
(a) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement (No. 333-30294) on Form S-3 for the
registration of Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, issuable in
series, including the Underwritten Certificates, under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), which registration statement has become
effective and a copy of which, as amended to the date hereof, has heretofore
been delivered to you. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3
under the 1933 Act, and such registration statement, as amended at the date
hereof, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the 1933 Act
and complies in all other material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder. The Company proposes to file with the Commission, with
your consent, pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, a supplement dated
November 16, 2000 (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the prospectus dated November
16, 2000 (the "Basic Prospectus"), relating to the Underwritten Certificates and
the method of distribution thereof, and has previously advised you of all
further information (financial and other) with respect to the Underwritten
Certificates and the Mortgage Pool to be set forth therein. Such registration
statement (No. 333-30294),
2
including all exhibits thereto, is referred to herein as the "Registration
Statement"; and the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, together
with any amendment thereof or supplement thereto authorized by the Company prior
to the Closing Date for use in connection with the offering of the Underwritten
Certificates, are hereinafter called the "Prospectus". Any preliminary form of
the Prospectus Supplement that has heretofore been filed pursuant to Rule 424
or, prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, pursuant to Rule
402(a) or 424(a), is hereinafter called a "Preliminary Prospectus Supplement".
If so stated in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company will file with the
Commission within fifteen days of the issuance of the Underwritten Certificates
a report on Form 8-K ("8-K") setting forth specific information concerning the
Mortgage Pool and the Underwritten Certificates to the extent that such
information is not set forth in the Prospectus Supplement.
(b) As of the date hereof, as of the date on which the Prospectus
Supplement is first filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, as of the
date on which, prior to the Closing Date, any amendment to the Registration
Statement becomes effective, as of the date on which any supplement to the
Prospectus Supplement is filed with the Commission, and as of the Closing Date,
(i) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, and the
Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, complies and will
comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) the Registration Statement, as
amended as of any such time, does not contain and will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact and does not omit and will not omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading, and (iii) the Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented as of any such time, does not contain and will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit and will not 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; provided,
however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to
statements contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf
of any Underwriter through you specifically for use in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus (such information being identified in Section
8(b)).
(c) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of North Carolina with
corporate power and authority to own, lease or operate its properties and to
conduct its business as now conducted by it and to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and
is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is
required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the
conduct of business.
(d) As of the date hereof, as of the date on which the Prospectus
Supplement is first filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, as of the
date on which, prior to the
3
Closing Date, any amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, as
of the date on which any supplement to the Prospectus Supplement is filed with
the Commission, and as of the Closing Date, there has not and will not have been
(i) any request by the Commission for any further amendment to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (ii) any issuance
by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the institution or threat of any proceeding for that
purpose or (iii) any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Underwritten Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or
any initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(e) Each of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company and each of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement constitutes legal, valid and
binding agreements of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally,
(ii) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding
in equity or at law, and (iii) public policy considerations underlying the
securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations limit the
enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement that purport to provide indemnification from securities law
liabilities.
(f) As of the Closing Date, the Underwritten Certificates, the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements will conform in
all material respects to the respective descriptions thereof contained in the
Prospectus. As of the Closing Date, the Underwritten Certificates will be duly
and validly authorized and, when delivered in accordance with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to you against payment therefor as provided herein, will be
duly and validly issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) The Company is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation or
by-laws or in default under any agreement, indenture or instrument the effect of
which violation or default would be material to the Company or which violation
or default would have a material adverse affect on the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Neither the issuance and sale of the
Underwritten Certificates, nor the execution and delivery by the Company of this
Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement nor the consummation by the
Company of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor
compliance by the Company with the provisions hereof or thereof, did, does or
will conflict with or result in a breach of any term or provision of the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or conflict with, result
in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under, the
terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is
a party or by which it or any
4
material asset is bound, or any statute, order or regulation applicable to the
Company of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental
body having jurisdiction over the Company.
(i) There is no action, suit or proceeding against the Company pending, or,
to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, before any court, arbitrator,
administrative agency or other tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of this
Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement or the Underwritten Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance
of the Underwritten Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (iii) that might materially and adversely affect
the performance by the Company of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements or the Underwritten Certificates or (iv)
seeking to affect adversely the federal income tax attributes of the
Underwritten Certificates as described in the Prospectus.
(j) There are no contracts, indentures or other documents of a character
required by the 1933 Act or by the rules and regulations thereunder to be
described or referred to in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to
be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which have not been so
described or referred to therein or so filed or incorporated by reference as
exhibits thereto.
(k) No authorization, approval or consent of any court or governmental
authority or agency is necessary in connection with the offering or sale of the
Underwritten Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, except such as have been,
or as of the Closing Date will have been, obtained or such as may otherwise be
required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase
and offer and sale of the Underwritten Certificates by the Underwriters and any
recordation of the respective assignments of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that have not been completed.
(l) The Company possesses all material licenses, certificates, authorities
or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory
agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by it, and the
Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such license, certificate, authority or permit which, singly
or in the aggregate, if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or
finding, would materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or
otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
Company.
(m) Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the delivery and sale of the
Underwritten Certificates (other than such federal, state and local taxes as may
be payable on the income or gain recognized therefrom) have been or will be paid
at or prior to the Closing Date.
5
(n) Neither the Company nor the Trust Fund is, and neither the sale of the
Underwritten Certificates in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus nor the
activities of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
will cause the Company or the Trust Fund to be, an "investment company" or under
the control of an "investment company" as such terms are defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").
(o) Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and for federal
income tax purposes, the Company reported the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to
the Trustee in exchange for the Underwritten Certificates and will report the
sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters pursuant to this
Agreement as a sale of the interests in the Mortgage Loans evidenced by the
Underwritten Certificates. The consideration received by the Company upon the
sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters will constitute
reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Underwritten
Certificates. The Company will be solvent at all relevant times prior to, and
will not be rendered insolvent by, the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to
the Underwriters. In addition, the Company was solvent at all relevant times
prior to, and was not rendered insolvent by, the transfer of the Mortgage Loans
to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Company is not selling the
Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters and did not transfer the Mortgage
Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund with any intent to hinder,
delay or defraud any of the creditors of the Company.
(p) At the Closing Date, the respective classes of Underwritten
Certificates shall continue to have maintained ratings no lower than those set
forth in Schedule I hereto by the nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations identified in Schedule I hereto (individually and collectively,
the "Rating Agency").
(i) FUNB represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each
Underwriter, that:
(a) FUNB is a national banking association validly existing under the laws
of the United States of America and possesses all requisite authority, power,
licenses, permits and franchises to carry on its business as currently conducted
by it and to execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under the terms of
this Agreement.
(b) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by FUNB and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof
by the Company and the Underwriters, constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of FUNB, enforceable against FUNB in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights in general, as they may be applied in the context of the
insolvency of a national banking association, and by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law), and by public policy considerations underlying the securities laws,
to the extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of
the provisions
6
of this Agreement which purport to provide indemnification from liabilities
under applicable securities laws.
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by FUNB and FUNB's
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not (A) violate
FUNB's articles of association or By-Laws, (B) violate any law or regulation or
any administrative decree or order to which it is subject or (C) constitute a
default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any contract, agreement
or other instrument to which FUNB is a party or by which FUNB is bound.
(d) FUNB is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court
or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or other
governmental agency or body, which default might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations
of FUNB or its properties or have consequences that would materially and
adversely affect its performance hereunder.
(e) FUNB is not a party to or bound by any agreement or instrument or
subject to any articles of association, bylaws or any other corporate
restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law or regulation
that would materially and adversely affect the ability of FUNB to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent of any third
person to the execution of this Agreement or the performance by FUNB of its
obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent such consent has been
obtained).
(f) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by FUNB of or compliance by FUNB with this Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except as have
previously been obtained.
(g) No litigation is pending or, to the best of FUNB's knowledge,
threatened against FUNB that would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or
materially and adversely affect the performance by FUNB of its obligations under
this Agreement.
(h) Each representation and warranty of the Company set forth in Section
1(i) hereof is true and correct as of the date hereof or as of the date
specified in such representation and warranty.
(i) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the
date hereof and as of the Closing Date, (i) such Underwriter has complied in all
material respects with all of its obligations under Section 4 hereof and (ii)
with respect to all Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets, if any,
provided by such Underwriter to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b)(iv), such
Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets are accurate in all material
respects (taking into account the assumptions explicitly set forth or otherwise
referred to in the Computational Materials or in the Prospectus Supplement or
ABS Term Sheets or the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, and
7
provided that the underlying data regarding the Mortgage Loans, and the related
Mortgagors and Mortgaged Properties, provided to the Underwriters by the
Mortgage Loan Originators is accurate and complete in all material respects) and
constitute a complete set of all Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets
that are required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the No-Action
Letters (as defined herein).
2. PURCHASE AND SALE. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance
upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Company agrees to
sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly,
to purchase from the Company, at the applicable purchase prices set forth in
Schedule I hereto, the respective principal and notional amounts of the
Underwritten Certificates set forth opposite the name of each Underwriter set
forth in Schedule II hereto, and any additional portions of the Underwritten
Certificates that any such Underwriter may be obligated to purchase pursuant to
Section 10, in all cases plus accrued interest as set forth in Schedule I.
3. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT. Delivery of and payment for the Underwritten
Certificates shall be made in the manner, at the location(s), on the Closing

4. OFFERING BY UNDERWRITERS.
(a) It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the
Underwritten Certificates for sale to the public, including, without limitation,
in and from the State of New York, as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. It
is further understood that the Company, in reliance upon an exemption from the
Attorney General of the State of New York to be granted pursuant to Policy
Statement 104 and 105, has not and will not file the offering pursuant to
Section 352-e of the General Business Law of the State of New York with respect
to the Underwritten Certificates which are not "mortgage related securities" as
defined in the 1934 Act (as defined below).
(b) Each Underwriter may prepare and provide to prospective investors
certain Computational Materials, Structural Term Sheets or Collateral Term
Sheets in connection with its offering of the Certificates, subject to the
following conditions:
(i) Such Underwriter shall comply with the requirements of the
no-action letter, dated May 20, 1994, issued by the Commission to ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Acceptance Corporation I, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Peabody & Co. Incorporated and
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Structured Asset Corporation, as made applicable to other issuers
and underwriters by the Commission in response to the request of the Public
Securities Association, dated May 25, 1994 (collectively, the "▇▇▇▇▇▇/PSA
Letter"), and the requirements of the no-action letter, dated February 17,
1995, issued by the Commission to the Public Securities Association (the
"PSA Letter" and, together with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇/PSA Letter, the "No-Action
Letters").
(ii) For purposes hereof, "Computational Materials" shall have the
meaning given such term in the No-Action Letters, but shall include only
those Computational Materials that have been prepared or delivered to
prospective investors by or at the direction of such Underwriter. For
purposes hereof, "ABS Term Sheets," "Structural Term Sheets" and
"Collateral Term Sheets" shall have the meanings given such terms in the
PSA Letter but shall include only those ABS Term Sheets, Structural Term
Sheets or Collateral Term Sheets that have been prepared for or delivered
to prospective investors by or at the direction of such Underwriter.
(iii) All Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets provided to
prospective investors shall bear a legend in a form previously approved by
the Company or its counsel.
(iv) Such Underwriter shall not distribute any such Computational
Materials or ABS Term Sheets unless the forms and methodology thereof are
in accordance with this Agreement. Such Underwriter shall provide to the
Company, for filing on Form 8-K as provided in Section 5(g), copies (in
such format as required by the Company) of all Computational Materials and
ABS
9
Term Sheets. The Underwriter may provide copies of the foregoing in a
consolidated or aggregated form including all information required to be
filed. All Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets described in this
subsection (iv) must be provided to the Company (a) in paper or electronic
format suitable for filing with the Commission and (b) not later than 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) on a business day that is not less than one
business day before filing thereof is required pursuant to the terms of the
No-Action Letters.
(v) All information included in the Computational Materials and ABS
Term Sheets shall be generated based on substantially the same methodology
and assumptions as are used to generate the information in the Prospectus
Supplement as set forth therein; provided that the Computational Materials
and ABS Term Sheets may include information based on alternative
methodologies or assumptions if specified therein. If any Computational
Materials or ABS Term Sheets were based on assumptions with respect to the
Mortgage Pool that differ from the final Collateral Information in any
material respect or on Underwritten Certificate structuring assumptions
(except in the case of Computational Materials when the different
structuring terms were hypothesized and so described) that were revised in
any material respect prior to the printing of the Prospectus, then to the
extent that it has not already done so, such Underwriter shall immediately
inform the Company and, upon the direction of the Company, and if not
corrected by the Prospectus, shall prepare revised Computational Materials
and ABS Term Sheets, as the case may be, based on the final Collateral
Information and structuring assumptions, circulate such revised
Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets to all recipients of the
preliminary versions thereof, and include such revised Computational
Materials and ABS Term Sheets (marked, "as revised") in the materials
delivered to the Company pursuant to subsection (iv) above.
(vi) If, within the period during which the Prospectus relating to the
Underwritten Certificates is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act,
any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets are determined, in the
reasonable judgment of the Company or such Underwriter, to contain a
material error or, when read together with the Prospectus, a material
omission, then (unless the material error or omission was corrected in the
Prospectus) the Underwriter shall prepare a corrected version of such
Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets, shall circulate such corrected
Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets to all recipients of the prior
versions thereof, and shall deliver copies of such corrected Computational
Materials or ABS Term Sheets (marked, "as corrected") to the Company for
filing with the Commission in a subsequent Form 8-K submission (subject to
the Company's obtaining an accountant's comfort letter in respect of such
corrected Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets, which shall be at
the expense of such Underwriter).
(vii) Such Underwriter shall be deemed to have represented, as of the
Closing Date, that except for Computational Materials and/or ABS Term
Sheets provided to the Company pursuant to subsection (iv) above, such
Underwriter did
10
not provide any prospective investors with any information in written or
electronic form in connection with the offering of the Underwritten
Certificates that is required to be filed with the Commission in accordance
with the No-Action Letters.
(viii) In the event of any delay in the delivery by such Underwriter
to the Company of all Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets required
to be delivered in accordance with subsection (iv) above, the Company shall
have the right to delay the release of the Prospectus to investors or to
the Underwriter, to delay the Closing Date and to take other appropriate
actions in each case as necessary in order to allow the Company to comply
with its agreement set forth in Section 5(g) to file the Computational
Materials and ABS Term Sheets by the time specified therein.
(ix) Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets may be distributed by
the Underwriter through electronic means in accordance with SEC Release No.
33-7233 or other applicable laws or regulations.
(c) Each Underwriter further agrees that it shall promptly provide the
Company with such information as to matters of fact as the Company may
reasonably request to enable it to comply with its reporting requirements with
respect to each class of Underwritten Certificates to the extent such
information can in the good faith judgment of the Underwriter be determined by
it.
5. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees with the
Underwriters that:
(a) The Company will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement
or any supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to or affecting the
Underwritten Certificates, unless the Company has furnished a copy to you for
your review prior to filing, and will not file any such proposed amendment or
supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence,
the Company will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be transmitted to the
Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act or will cause the
Prospectus Supplement to be filed with the Commission pursuant to said Rule 424.
The Company promptly will advise you or counsel for the Underwriters (i) when
the Prospectus Supplement shall have been filed or transmitted to the Commission
for filing pursuant to Rule 424, (ii) when any amendment to the Registration
Statement shall have become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission to
amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus Supplement or for
any additional information in respect of the offering contemplated hereby, (iv)
of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto which
shall have become effective on or prior to the Closing Date or the institution
or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (v) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of the Underwritten Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution
or threatening of any proceeding
11
for that purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance
of any such stop order or suspension and, if issued, to obtain as soon as
possible the withdrawal thereof.
(b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Underwritten
Certificates is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, any event occurs as
a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend
or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the
Commission, at the expense of the Company, subject to paragraph (a) of this
Section 5, an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or
omission or an amendment that will effect such compliance and, if such amendment
or supplement is required to be contained in a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such
amendment to the Registration Statement to be made effective as soon as
possible.
(c) The Company will furnish to you and to counsel for the Underwriters,

(i) The Registration Statement and any amendments thereto have become
effective under the 1933 Act; to the best knowledge of such counsel, no
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as
amended, has been issued and not withdrawn, no proceedings for that purpose
have been instituted or threatened and not terminated; and the Registration
Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and each
amendment or supplement thereto, as of their respective effective or issue
dates (other than the financial statements, schedules and other financial
and statistical information contained therein as to which such counsel need
express no opinion), complied as to form in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder; and such counsel has no reason to believe that (A) the
Registration Statement (which, for purposes of this clause, shall be deemed
not to include any exhibits filed therewith), or any amendment thereto, at
the time it became effective, contained or, as of the date of such opinion,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, or that (B) the Prospectus, as
amended or supplemented, as of the respective date thereof and at the date
hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (other than the financial statements, schedules and other
financial and statistical information contained therein as to which such
counsel need express no opinion);
15
(ii) To the best knowledge of such counsel, there are no material
contracts, indentures or other documents of a character required to be

enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, to general
principles of equity regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law and public policy considerations underlying
the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations
limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement that purports
to provide indemnification from securities law liabilities;
(iv) [Reserved]
(v) The statements set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the

statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Underwritten
Certificates and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are true and correct
in all material respects;
(vi) The statements set forth in the Basic Prospectus and the
Prospectus Supplement under the headings "Material Federal Income Tax

consequences or aspects that are discussed;

Loans pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that has not yet been
completed.
(x) Assuming compliance with all provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, for federal income tax purposes, REMIC I, REMIC II,
REMIC III and REMIC IV will each qualify as a real estate mortgage
investment conduit (a "REMIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the

the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC III, the Class R-IV

or any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement shall not inure to the benefit of
any Underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling such

the written consent of the Company; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including
the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such Underwriter),
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency
or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any
such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii)

untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission of a material fact contained in any ABS Term Sheets or
Computational Materials which, when read together with any Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement, was required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided,
that no such material misstatement or omission arises from an error or omission
in information relating to the underlying data regarding the Mortgage Loans or
the related Mortgagors or Mortgaged Properties provided by the Company to such
Underwriter; and provided, further, that any such ABS Term Sheets or

indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability
which it may have otherwise
23
than on account of this indemnity agreement. 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 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 Company 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 of any
proceeding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. 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 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, without the consent
of the indemnified party.
(d) The indemnity agreements contained in 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 Company, the Underwriters, any of
their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company or
the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Underwritten Certificates.
9. CONTRIBUTION.
(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in 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 insufficient in respect of any losses, liabilities,
claims or damages referred to therein, the Company and the Underwriters shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of
the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and
the Underwriters, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
24
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each
Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Underwritten 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 Company on the one hand and of 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 fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the
other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
or by the Underwriters, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;
provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and
provided, further, that in no event shall either Underwriter be obligated to
contribute more than its share of the underwriting discounts and commissions
pertaining to the Underwritten Certificates. It is hereby acknowledged that the
respective Underwriters' obligations under this Section 9 shall be several and
not joint. For purposes of this Section, 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 directors, shall have the same rights to
contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer
of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any,
who controls the Company 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
Company.
(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution were determined by pro rata 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 or damages referred to in Section 8 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 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.
25
(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 Company, the Underwriters, any of
their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company or
the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Underwritten Certificates.
10. DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail
to purchase and pay for any of the Underwritten 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 (in the respective proportions which the portion of the Underwritten
Certificates set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the
aggregate amount of Underwritten Certificates set forth opposite the names of
all the remaining Underwriters) to purchase the Underwritten Certificates that
the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase;
provided, however, that in the event that the amount of Underwritten
Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed
to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten
Certificates set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall
have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to
purchase any, of the Underwritten Certificates, and if such nondefaulting
Underwriters do not purchase all of the Underwritten Certificates, this
Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or
the Company, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12. In the event of a
default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date for
the Underwritten Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding
ten business days, as you shall determine in order that the required changes in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement 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
Company and any nondefaulting 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 Company 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
Company, or by or on behalf of any of the controlling persons and officers and
directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9, and shall survive delivery of the
Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters.
12. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL.
(a) The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the
Company, 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, financial or otherwise, or in the
earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company or of FUNB
whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if
26
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 either Underwriter, impracticable to market the Underwritten
Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten
Certificates, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company or of FUNB
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 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, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been
declared by either federal or New York authorities.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except
as provided in Section 11 or Section 12 (c).
(c) The provisions of Section 5(e) regarding the payment of costs and
expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
13. NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by
any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be
directed to ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇,

14. PARTIES. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon each of the Underwriters, the Company and FUNB and their respective
successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or

and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be performed entirely in said State. This Agreement may
