To the Representatives named

Underwriters named in
Schedule II hereto
Dear Sirs:
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC") proposes to sell to the
underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the "UNDERWRITERS"), for whom you are
acting as representatives (the "REPRESENTATIVES"), the principal amount of its
securities identified in Schedule I hereto (the "SECURITIES"), to be issued
pursuant to a Fiscal Agency Agreement (the "FISCAL AGENCY AGREEMENT") to be
dated as provided in Schedule I hereto between CMHC and the banking institution
named therein, as Fiscal Agent (the "FISCAL AGENT"). The Securities to be sold
in the United States, as certified by the Underwriters in a report relating to
distribution of primary allotment substantially in the form of Schedule III
hereto, are referred to herein as the "REGISTERED SECURITIES" and all other
Securities are referred to herein as the "OFFSHORE SECURITIES". The Securities
are direct unconditional obligations of CMHC and as such carry the full faith
and credit of Canada and constitute direct unconditional obligations of and by
Canada and the payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities is a
charge on and payable out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada. If the
firm or firms listed in Schedule II hereto include only the firm or firms listed
in Schedule I hereto, then the terms "UNDERWRITERS" and "REPRESENTATIVES", as
used herein shall each be deemed to refer to such firm or firms.
1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. CMHC represents and warrants to, and
agrees with, each Underwriter that:
(a) CMHC has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"COMMISSION") one or more registration statements, which have become
effective, for the registration of the Registered
Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "ACT"). Such
registration statements, as amended at the date of this Agreement, meet the
requirements set forth in Release No. 33-6424 under the Act and comply in
all other material respects with said Release. The form of prospectus
included in the registration statement indicated in Schedule I is the most
recent form of prospectus relating to the Securities and the plan of
distribution thereof filed by CMHC with the Commission. CMHC proposes to
file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act a supplement
to such form of prospectus and has previously advised you of all further
information (financial and other) with respect to CMHC and Canada to be set
forth therein. Such registration statements, including the exhibits
thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement, hereinafter are called
the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT"; such prospectus is hereinafter called the
"BASIC PROSPECTUS"; and such supplemented form of prospectus, in the form
in which it shall be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
(including the Basic Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called
the "FINAL PROSPECTUS". Any preliminary form of the Final Prospectus which
has heretofore been filed pursuant to Rule 424 is hereinafter called the
"PRELIMINARY FINAL PROSPECTUS". As used herein, the terms "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT", "BASIC PROSPECTUS", "FINAL PROSPECTUS" and "PRELIMINARY FINAL
PROSPECTUS" shall include in each case the documents, if any, incorporated
by reference therein. The terms "SUPPLEMENT" and "AMENDMENT" or "AMEND" as
used herein shall include all documents deemed to be incorporated by
reference in the Final Prospectus that are filed subsequent to the date of
the Basic Prospectus by CMHC with the Commission pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT").
(b) As of the date hereof, when the Final Prospectus is first filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, when, prior to the Closing Date (as
hereinafter defined), any amendment to the Registration Statement becomes
effective, when any supplement to the Final Prospectus is filed with the
Commission and at the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), (i) the
Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, will fully comply
in all material respects with the provisions of the Act and the Rules under
the Act and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact 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 (ii)
the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, will
fully comply with the provisions of the Act and the Rules under the Act and
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and will not omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that CMHC
makes no representations or
2
warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the
Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to CMHC by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the
Representatives specifically for use in connection with the preparation
thereof.
(c) No authorizations, approvals, waivers or consents of any agency or
official of Canada or the Province of Ontario thereof are required to
permit the execution and delivery of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and this
Agreement by CMHC, the issuance of the Securities and the performance by
CMHC of the respective obligations thereunder and hereunder, except for the
approval of the Minister of Finance as required by the Financial
Administration Act, which has been obtained.
(d) None of CMHC, its affiliates or any person acting on its or their
behalf has engaged in any directed selling efforts (as that term is defined
in Regulation S under the Act ("REGULATION S")) with respect to the
Offshore Securities.
2. PURCHASE AND SALE. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance
upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, CMHC agrees to sell to
each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to
purchase from CMHC, at the issue price set forth in Schedule I hereto the
principal amount of the Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in
Schedule II hereto. CMHC agrees to pay to the Underwriters the amount set forth
in Schedule I hereto as selling, management and underwriting commissions, (the
"UNDERWRITING COMMISSIONS") and further agrees that the aggregate amount of the
Underwriting Commissions may be set-off against the aggregate issue price of the
Securities.
3. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT. Delivery of and payment for the Securities shall
be made at the office, on the date and at the time specified in Schedule I
hereto, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the
Representatives and CMHC or as provided in Section 10 hereof (such date and time
of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the "CLOSING
DATE"). The Securities will be issued in the form of registered global
securities (the "GLOBAL SECURITIES"), which shall be registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). Delivery of
the Securities shall be made to the Representatives or to their order for the
respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several
Underwriters through the Representatives of the issue price thereof to CMHC in
immediately available (same day) funds by transfer to a U.S. dollar account
specified by CMHC. The Underwriters through the Representatives shall be
entitled to set-off against the payment of the issue price the Underwriting
Commissions and reimbursement for expenses referred to in Section 5(g) hereof.
The Global
3
Security shall be substantially in the form annexed to the Fiscal Agency
Agreement.
The Global Security shall be made available for inspection and checking by
the Representatives in New York City not later than 3:00 P.M., local time, on
the business day prior to the Closing Date.
4. LISTING. CMHC agrees with the Underwriters to cooperate in the filing of
an application to list the Securities on the Euro MTF, the exchange regulated
market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "STOCK EXCHANGE") prior to the
Closing Date. CMHC further agrees to furnish to the Stock Exchange all
documents, instruments, information and undertakings and to publish all
advertisements or other material that may be necessary in order to effect the
listing of the Securities and to cause such listing to be continued for so long
as any of the Securities remain outstanding; provided, however, that if after
consultation with the Representatives , in the opinion of CMHC the continuation
of such listing shall become unduly burdensome, then CMHC may, in its sole
discretion, terminate the listing of the Securities on the Stock Exchange. In
the event of such termination of listing, CMHC shall use reasonable endeavours
to seek an alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation of the
Securities by another listing authority, securities exchange and/or quotation
system, as determined by CMHC in its sole discretion, after consultation with
the Representatives, provided that nothing herein shall require CMHC to seek an
alternative admission in listing, trading and/or quotation of the Securities on
any securities exchange where it would be, as determined by CMHC, impractical or
unduly burdensome to do so.
5. AGREEMENTS. CMHC agrees with the several Underwriters, and the several
Underwriters agree with CMHC, as the case may be, that:
(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, CMHC
will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement
(including the Final Prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus unless CMHC has
furnished you a copy 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, CMHC will cause the Final Prospectus to
be delivered to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) via the
Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system
("XXXXX") and will cause the Final Prospectus to be filed with the
Commission pursuant to said Rule. CMHC will promptly advise the
Representatives (i) when the Final Prospectus shall have been delivered to
the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424(b), (ii) when any amendment
to the Registration Statement relating to the Securities shall have become
effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of the
Registration Statement or amendment of or supplement to the Final
Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv)
4

effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by
CMHC of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. CMHC will use
its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if
issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is
required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of
which the Final 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 Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the
rules thereunder, CMHC promptly will prepare and file with the Commission,
subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an
amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an
amendment which will effect such compliance.
(c) CMHC will make generally available to the holders of the
Securities a statement of its income and retained earnings for its fiscal
year commencing after the date hereof as soon as practicable after the
close of such fiscal year and a statement of revenues and expenditures of

satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.
(d) CMHC will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the
Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement
(including exhibits thereto) and each amendment thereto which shall become
effective on or prior to the Closing Date and to each other Underwriter a
copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long
as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by
the Act, as many copies of any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final
Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as the
Representatives may reasonably request.
(e) CMHC will arrange for the qualification of the Securities for
offer and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives
may designate, will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as
required for the distribution of the Securities; provided that CMHC shall
not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation in, or consent to
general service of process under the laws of, any state or to meet other
requirements deemed by it to be unduly burdensome; provided
5
further, that nothing herein shall require CMHC to qualify the Securities
in any jurisdiction where it would be, as determined by CMHC in its sole
discretion after consultation with the Representatives, impractical or
unduly burdensome to do so.
(f) CMHC will pay (i) all expenses in connection with (A) the
preparation, issue, execution and delivery of the Securities (including the

Statement (including all amendments thereto) with the Commission, (C) all

the United Kingdom upon and in connection with the execution, issue and
subscription of the Securities or the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Except as provided in Section
5(g), 8 and 9 hereof, CMHC shall not be required to pay or bear any fees or
expenses of the Underwriters.

agrees to pay to the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters on the
Closing Date an amount of up to U.S.$60,000 to be applied in reimbursement
of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs of the Underwriters

fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if
any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Representatives and their counsel, this Agreement and all
obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be cancelled at, or at any time
prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation
shall be given to CMHC in writing or by telephone or telegraph confirmed in
writing.
8. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS' EXPENSES. If the sale of the Securities
provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations
of the Underwriters set forth in Section 7 hereof is not satisfied or because of
any refusal, inability or failure on the part of CMHC to perform any agreement
herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by
any of the Underwriters, CMHC will reimburse the Underwriters severally upon
demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection
with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.
9. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) (a) CMHC agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of the Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject
under the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or other United States
Federal or state or foreign law or regulation, at common law 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 a material fact contained in the registration statement for the
registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof,
or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final
Prospectus, any agreed upon marketing brochure or the invitation or allotment
telexes, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, 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 agrees, subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below, to
reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them (as such expenses are incurred) in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that (i) CMHC 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 any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to CMHC by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the
Representatives specifically for use in connection
14
with the preparation thereof, and (ii) such indemnity with respect to the Basic
Prospectus or any Preliminary Final Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of
any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the
person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the
Securities which are the subject thereof if such person did not receive a copy
of the Final Prospectus (or the Final Prospectus as amended or supplemented) at
or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person in
any case where such delivery is required by the Act and the untrue statement or
omission of a material fact contained in the Basic Prospectus or any Preliminary
Final Prospectus was corrected in the Final Prospectus (or the Final Prospectus
as amended or supplemented). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which CMHC may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
CMHC, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the
Registration Statement, and each person who controls CMHC within the
meaning of the Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from CMHC
to each Underwriter, 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 relating to such
Underwriter furnished to CMHC by or on behalf of such Underwriter through
the Representatives specifically for use in the preparation of the
documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise
have. CMHC acknowledges for the purposes of this Section 9(b) that the
statements set forth under the heading "Underwriting" (except for the
statements in the paragraphs relating to the securities laws of the United
Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Japan and Hong Kong, the sentence
relating to stamp taxes and other charges, the paragraph relating to
certain expenses of CMHC and the paragraph relating to indemnification of
certain liabilities and reimbursement of certain expenses by CMHC) in the
Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or
on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Final
Prospectus, and you, as the Representatives, confirm that such statements
are correct.
(c) Each of CMHC and the Underwriters agrees that each Underwriter
shall have and hold the covenants of CMHC contained in this Section 9 in
respect of such Underwriter's controlling persons' (as defined above)
interest for the benefit of their controlling persons. Each Underwriter
agrees to accept the trusts in this paragraph (c) declared and provided for
and agrees to enforce those covenants on behalf of such persons.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
15
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9. In case any
such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will
be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by
written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving
the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party;
provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified
party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert
such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election to so assume the defense of such action and approval by the
indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to
such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in
accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being
understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for
the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the
Representatives in the case of subparagraph (a), representing the
indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) who are parties to such action),
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a
reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the
indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the
indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, and except
that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in
respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). The
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
it be a final judgment for the plaintiff the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section 9 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any
16
reason held by a court to be unavailable from CMHC or the Underwriters, as
the case may be, on grounds of policy or otherwise, CMHC and the
Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending same) to which CMHC and one or
more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion so that the
Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage
that the Underwriting Commissions bears to the issue price of the
Securities set forth on Schedule I hereto and CMHC is responsible for the
balance; provided, however, that (y) in no case shall any Underwriter
(except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters) be
responsible for any amount in excess of the Underwriting Commissions
applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and
(z) 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 an Underwriter within
the meaning of the Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
Underwriter, and each person who controls CMHC within the meaning of the
Act, each officer of CMHC who shall have signed the Registration Statement
and each director of CMHC shall have the same rights to contribution as
CMHC, subject in each case to clause (y) of this paragraph (e). Any party
entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in
respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party
or parties under this paragraph (e), notify such party or parties from whom
contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or
parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may
be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or
otherwise than under this paragraph (e).
10. DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail
to purchase and pay for any of the Securities 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 obliged severally to take up and
pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth
opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bear to the aggregate amount of
Securities set opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the
Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of
Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in
Schedule II hereto, and arrangements satisfactory to the remaining Underwriters
and CMHC for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after
such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any
non-defaulting Underwriter or
17
CMHC. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section
10, which shall not cause this Agreement to be terminated, either CMHC or the
Representatives shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for such
period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representatives shall determine in
order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final
Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its
liability, if any, to CMHC and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages
occasioned by its default hereunder.
11. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the
absolute discretion of CMHC or the Representatives, by notice given to CMHC or
the Representatives, as the case may be, prior to delivery and payment for the
Securities, if prior to that time, there shall have occurred such a change in
national or international financial, political or economic conditions or
currency exchange rates or exchange controls which, in the reasonable judgment
of the Representatives or CMHC, as the case may be, is material and adverse and
such changes, singly or together with any other such change, makes it, in the
reasonable judgment of the Representatives or CMHC, as the case may be,
impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Final Prospectus. Notwithstanding any such termination, the
provisions of Sections 8, 9, 12 and 16 hereof shall remain in effect.
12. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE. The respective agreements,
representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of CMHC 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 made by or
on behalf of any Underwriter or CMHC or any of the officers, directors or
controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and will survive delivery
of and payment for the Securities.
13. STABILIZATION AND OVER-ALLOTMENT. Any over-allotment or stabilization
transaction by the Underwriters in connection with the distribution of the
Securities shall be effected by them on their own behalf and not as agents of
CMHC, and any gain or loss arising therefrom shall be for their own account. The
Underwriters acknowledge that CMHC has not been authorized to issue Securities
in excess of the principal amount set forth in Schedule I hereto. The
Underwriters also acknowledge that CMHC has not authorized the carrying out by
the Underwriters of stabilization transactions other than in conformity with
applicable rules, including those made pursuant to the FSMA and Regulation M
promulgated by the Commission (if applicable).
14. NOTICES. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective
only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives or the Underwriters, will
be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to them, at the address
specified in Schedule I hereto; or, if sent to CMHC, will be mailed, delivered
or
18
telegraphed and confirmed to it at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx,
X0X 0X0 attention of the Treasurer.
15. 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 9 hereof, and no other
person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
16. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
17. ADVERTISEMENTS. All advertisements of the Securities shall be published
in a form or forms and manner to which CMHC consents in writing prior to the
date of publication. CMHC may withhold its consent in its discretion regarding
the use of any symbol in any such advertisement and the publication in which
such advertisement is to appear.
18. TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.
19. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our
agreement, please sign and return to us the enclosed duplicate hereof, whereupon
this letter and your acceptance shall represent a binding agreement among the
