circulate such corrected ABS Term Sheets to all recipients of the prior
versions thereof that either indicated orally to either of the

provide any prospective investors with any information in written or
electronic form in connection with the offering of the Notes that is
required to be filed with the Commission in accordance with the
No-Action Letters.

purchased by the Underwriters, the initial public offering price, the

Company deems
8
appropriate and shall furnish a copy to the Representative in
accordance with Section 5(vii) of this Agreement. The Company will
transmit the Prospectus including such Prospectus Supplement to the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) by a means reasonably calculated to
result in filing that complies with all applicable provisions of Rule
424(b). The Company will advise the Representative promptly of any such
filing pursuant to Rule 424(b).
(ii) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Notes,
the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement
or supplement to the Prospectus unless the Company has furnished the
Representative with a copy for its review prior to filing and will not
file any such proposed amendment or supplement without the
Representative's consent, which consent will not unreasonably be
withheld. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if filing of the
Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b), the Company will
file the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto,
with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable
paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will
provide evidence satisfactory to the Representative of such timely
filing.
(iii) The Company will advise the Representative promptly of
any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement as filed
or the Prospectus, and will not effect such amendment or supplement
without the Representative's consent, which consent will not
unreasonably be withheld. The Company will also advise the
Representative promptly of any request by the Commission for any
amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or for any additional information and the Company will also
advise the Representative promptly of any amendment or supplement to
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and of the 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, and the Company will use its best efforts to prevent
the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible
the lifting of any issued order.
(iv) The Company will use every reasonable effort to cause the
Registration Statement, and any amendment thereto, if not effective at
the Execution Time, to become effective.
(v) If, at any time when a Prospectus relating to the Notes is
required to be delivered under the Act, 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 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 Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission (subject
to the Representative's prior review pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this
Section 5) an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement
or omission or an amendment or supplement which will effect such
compliance.
9
(vi) As soon as practicable, the Company will cause the Trust
to make generally available to the Noteholders and the holders of the
Residual Interest Instruments of the Trust an earnings statement or
statements of the Trust covering a period of at least 12 months
beginning after the Closing Date which will satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated
thereunder.
(vii) The Company will furnish to each Underwriter copies of
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any preliminary
Prospectus Supplement related thereto and all amendments and
supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in
such quantities as each Underwriter may reasonably request.

arranging for the qualification of the Notes for sale and the
determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of
such jurisdictions as each Underwriter designates and will continue
such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution
of the Notes; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is
not currently so qualified or to take any action which would subject it
to general or unlimited service of process in any jurisdiction where it
is not now so subject. The Company will promptly advise the
Underwriters of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to the suspension or the qualification of the Notes for sale in
any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such
purpose.
(ix) For a period from the date of this Agreement until the
retirement of the Notes, the Company will furnish to the Underwriters

Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture and Section
3.10 of the Servicing Agreement, and the annual independent public
accountant's reports furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.11 of the Servicing Agreement, as soon as practicable after
such statements and reports are furnished to the Indenture Trustee and

Servicer not to, take any action inconsistent with the Trust's
ownership of such Funded Contracts, other than as permitted by the

Company shall cause its computer records for the related Prefunded
Contracts to be marked to show the Trust's absolute ownership of the
related Prefunded Contracts and shall cause the Servicer to mark its

under, the By - Laws or the Certificate of Incorporation of
Onyx, as amended, or, to the best of such counsel's knowledge,

moratorium, fraudulent or preferential conveyance and other
similar laws of general application relating to or affecting

under certain circumstances of provisions indemnifying a party
against liability where such indemnification is contrary to
public policy.

15 of the Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (i) of this
Section 8, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, (A) made in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto)
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by the Underwriters through the Representative expressly
for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto) or (B) made in the ABS Term Sheets distributed by
the Underwriters and filed as a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or as a result of any filing
pursuant to Section 5(xii); provided, however that the Underwriters
will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim or damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue
statement or omission made in the ABS Term Sheet or any supplement
thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) information
furnished to
22
such Underwriter by the Company or (y) information contained in the
Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus
other than information described in clause (A) above.
(iii) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to the
indemnifying party of any action commenced against the indemnified
party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but
failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such
indemnifying party from any liability which it may have hereunder or
otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement except and to the
extent of any prejudice to such indemnifying party arising from such
failure to provide such notice. In case any such action shall be
brought against an indemnified party and it shall have notified the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it
shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel, satisfactory
to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of
the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party with
respect to such action), and it being understood that the indemnifying
party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable
for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and
the appointment of counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under
subsections (i) or (ii) of this Section 8 for any legal expenses of
other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred
by the indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation.
9. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable other than in accordance with
its terms, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnifying party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to in 8(i) and 8(ii) above (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one
hand and each Underwriter 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 Company on
the one hand and of the related Underwriter 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 Company on the one hand and each Underwriter on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds
from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to
the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by each Underwriter.
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 Company or by the related Underwriter 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 Section 9 shall be
23
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 Section 9. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute under this
agreement and any related indemnification agreement considered as one agreement
any amount in the aggregate in excess of the underwriting discount or commission
applicable to the Notes purchased by it hereunder. The Company and each
Underwriter agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this Section 9. 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. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who
controls either Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Underwriter shall
have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who
controls the Company or Onyx within the meaning of either the Act or the
Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company or Onyx shall have the
same rights to contribution as the Company or Onyx, subject in each case to the
applicable terms and conditions of this Section 9.
10. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement
immediately upon notice to the Company, if at any time, prior to the Closing
Date, there has occurred: (a) any change, or any development involving a
prospective change, in or affecting particularly the business or properties of
the Company, Onyx or the Insurer which, in the reasonable judgment of the
Underwriters, materially impairs the investment quality of the Notes; (b) any
suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New
York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such
exchange; (c) any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company or of
Onyx on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market by such exchange or
over-the-counter market or by the Commission; (d) any banking moratorium
declared by federal, New York or California authorities; (e) any outbreak or
material escalation of major hostilities or any other substantial national or
international calamity or emergency if, in the reasonable judgment of the
Underwriters, the effect of any such outbreak, escalation, calamity or emergency
on the United States financial markets makes it impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with completion of the sale of and any payment for the Notes; or (f)
there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic,
political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on
the financial markets of the United States shall be such) as to make it, in the
judgment of the Underwriters, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the
public offering or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.
11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective
indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the
Company or its officers and of the 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
the Underwriters, the Company or any of their respective representatives,
officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of
and payment for the Notes. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the
Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the
expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 6 and the
24
respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Sections
6, 8 and 9 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Notes by the
Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the
occurrence of any event specified in clauses (b), (c) or (d) of Section 7(iii)
or clauses (b), (d) or (e) of Section 10, and other than solely because the
Underwriters fail to perform their obligations hereunder, the Company will
reimburse each Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and
disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the
offering of the Notes.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if
sent to the Representative, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and
confirmed to the Representative at Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, 000 Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XX0000, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxx, or to such

Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx,
Esq., Executive Vice President and Secretary.
13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors. Nothing
expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to
give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their
respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors
referred to in Sections 8 and 9 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 contained. This Agreement and all conditions and
provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and
officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the
benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Notes from the
Underwriters shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such
purchase.
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. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
16. Severability of Provisions. Any covenant, provisions, agreement or
term of this Agreement that is prohibited or is held to be void or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof.
17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the matters and
transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings whatsoever relating to such matters and transactions.
25
18. Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought.
19. Heading. The headings in this Agreement are for the purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
20. The Representative. The Representative will act for the several
Underwriters in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement,
and any action taken by the Representative under this Agreement will be binding
upon all the Underwriters.
21. Defaults of Underwriters. If any Underwriter defaults in its
obligation to purchase the Notes hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes that such defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed
to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Notes, the
Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the
Company for the purchase of such Notes by other persons, including either of the
Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the
nondefaulting Underwriter(s) shall be obligated, in proportion to its respective
commitment hereunder, to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Underwriter
agreed but failed to purchase. If an Underwriter so defaults and the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes with respect to such default exceeds 10% of the
total principal amount of the Notes and arrangements satisfactory to the
Representative and the Company for the purchase of such Notes by other persons
are not made within 24 hours after such default or such other period of time as
is agreed upon in writing by the Company and the Representative, this Agreement
will terminate without liability on the part of the nondefaulting Underwriter or
the Company, except as provided in Section 11. Nothing herein will relieve a
defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
