Ladies and Gentlemen:

X.X. Xxxxxx Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Depositor”), proposes to sell to the several Underwriters listed in Schedule I (the “Underwriters”), for whom X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC is acting as representative (the “Representative”), $947,698,000 (approximate) principal amount of Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C31, Classes X-0, X-0, X-0, X-XX, X-X, X-X, X-X, X, X, XX and D (the “Offered Certificates”) as set forth in Schedule I. The Offered Certificates, together with the Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 0000-X00, Xxxxxxx X-X, X-X, X, X, XX, XXX, Z and R (the “Private Certificates”) are collectively referred to herein as the “Certificates.” The initial purchasers of certain Private Certificates and the Underwriters are referred to herein collectively as the “Dealers.” The Certificates will represent beneficial interests in a trust primarily consisting of a segregated pool of fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by commercial properties, as described in the Prospectus referred to below (the “Mortgage Loans”), and certain moneys received under each Mortgage Loan, after the cut-off date for such Mortgage Loan, which shall be: (i) the related due date of such Mortgage Loan in August 2015 or (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has its first due date in September 2015, the date that would have otherwise been the related due date in August 2015. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the provisions of a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and special servicer (in such capacity, the “Special

Servicer”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as senior trust advisor (the “Senior Trust Advisor”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date (as defined below).

The Depositor hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Offered Certificates, as follows:

1. Registration Statement. The Depositor has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-190246), as amended, including a prospectus, relating to the Offered Certificates. The registration statement as amended at the time when it became effective, or, if a post-effective amendment is filed with respect thereto, as amended by such post-effective amendment at the time of its effectiveness, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Registration Statement.” The Depositor also has filed with, or proposes to file with, the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Offered Certificates (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The related prospectus covering the Offered Certificates in the form first required to be filed to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 172(c) under the Securities Act is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus,” and the Basic Prospectus as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement in the form first required to be filed to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 172(c) under the Securities Act is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement used in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Prospectus, and any reference to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed as of the Closing Date (as defined below) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

At or prior to the time when sales to investors of the Offered Certificates were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Depositor had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): (i) a free writing prospectus dated August 4, 2015, as supplemented by the supplement to the free writing prospectus, dated August 13, 2015 (the “Preliminary Free Writing Prospectus”) and (ii) a structural and collateral term sheet dated August 4, 2015 (the “Term Sheet”), each of (i) and (ii), a “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (a “Free Writing Prospectus”). If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Depositor and the Underwriters have determined that such information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the applicable Underwriters have terminated their old purchase contracts and entered into new purchase contracts with purchasers of the Offered Certificates, then “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information available to

purchasers at the time of entry into the first such new purchase contract, including any information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (“Corrective Information”).

When used in this Agreement, “Basic Documents” shall mean (i) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Certificates, (iii) a mortgage loan purchase agreement, to be dated as of August 28, 2015, between JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (in such capacity, “JPMCB”) and the Depositor (the “JPMCB Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), (iv) a mortgage loan purchase agreement, to be dated as of August 28, 2015, between Barclays Bank PLC (in such capacity, “Barclays”) and the Depositor (the “Barclays Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), (v) a mortgage loan purchase agreement, to be dated as of August 28, 2015, between Redwood Commercial Mortgage Corporation (in such capacity, “Redwood”), Redwood Trust, Inc. and the Depositor (the “Redwood Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), (vi) a mortgage loan purchase agreement, to be dated as of August 28, 2015, between Starwood Mortgage Funding II LLC (in such capacity, “Starwood”), Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC and the Depositor (the “Starwood Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”) and (vii) a mortgage loan purchase agreement, to be dated as of August 28, 2015, between RAIT Funding, LLC (in such capacity, “RAIT”) and the Depositor (the “RAIT Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement” and, together with the JPMCB Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Barclays Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Redwood Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Starwood Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”) and (viii) any other contract, agreement or instrument which is or is to be entered into by the Depositor on the Closing Date or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing or this Agreement. JPMCB, Barclays, Redwood, Starwood and RAIT are collectively referred to herein as the “Sellers.” To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(e) Ongoing Compliance of the Prospectus. If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period: (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist 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 a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Depositor will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith

prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representative may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law.

(g) Earnings Statement. The Depositor will make generally available to its security holders and the Representative as soon as practicable an earnings statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Depositor occurring after the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement.

5. Representations of the Several Underwriters. Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees, severally and not jointly, that in relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of the Offered Certificates to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the Offered Certificates which has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of the Offered Certificates to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:

(a) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

(b) to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the Depositor or the Representative; or

(c) in any other circumstances which do not require the publication by the Depositor of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

provided, that no such offer of the Offered Certificates referred to in clauses (a) to (c) above shall require the Depositor, the Issuing Entity or any Underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this representation, the expression an “offer of the Certificates to the public” in relation to any Offered Certificates in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Offered Certificates to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe to the Offered Certificates, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, and the expression

“Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State, and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, hereby further represents and agrees that it has not provided, as of the date of this Agreement, and covenants with the Depositor that it will not provide, on or prior to the Closing Date, to any Rating Agency or other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (within the meaning of the Exchange Act), any information, written or oral, relating to the Trust, the Offered Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Basic Documents or any other information, that could be reasonably determined to be relevant to determining an initial credit rating for the Offered Certificates (as contemplated by Rule 17g-5(a)(3)(iii)(C)), without the prior consent of the Depositor, and covenants with the Depositor that it will not provide to any Rating Agency or other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (within the meaning of the Exchange Act), any information, written or oral, relating to the Trust, the Offered Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Basic Documents or any other information, that could be reasonably determined to be relevant to undertaking credit rating surveillance for the Offered Certificates (as contemplated by Rule 17g-5(a)(iii)(3)(D)), without the prior consent of the Depositor; provided, however, that if an Underwriter receives an oral communication from a Rating Agency, such Underwriter is authorized to inform such Rating Agency that it will respond to the oral communication with a designated representative from the Depositor.

Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, hereby further represents and agrees that, except for the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, it has not obtained any Due Diligence Report in connection with the offering of the Certificates.

Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, hereby further represents and agrees, with respect to the United Kingdom, that:

(a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Offered Certificates in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Depositor or the Trust; and

(b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Offered Certificates in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

The Depositor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action, investigation or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the attached disc to the Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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, (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Time of Sale Information or any Issuer Information (as defined in Section 8(b)) contained in any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of an Underwriter (an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”) or contained in any Free Writing Prospectus which is required to be filed pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii) or Section 8(h), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to make the statements therein (when read in conjunction with the other Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor or any Seller to the Underwriters at any time prior to the Time of Sale or (3) any breach of the representation and warranty in Section 3(v), except insofar as (in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above) such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or

alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon or in conformity with (i) information with respect to which each Underwriter has agreed to indemnify the Depositor pursuant to Section 7(b), (ii) information with respect to which any Seller (and (x) in the case of Redwood, Redwood Trust, Inc., (y) in the case of Starwood, Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC) has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters pursuant to each of the Seller Indemnification Agreements (such information referred to herein as the “Sellers’ Information”), (iii) information with respect to which the Master Servicer and Special Servicer has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters pursuant to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer Indemnification Agreement (such information referred to herein as the “Master Servicer and Special Servicer’s Information”), (v) information with respect to which the Trustee and Certificate Administrator has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters pursuant to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator Indemnification Agreement (such information referred to herein as the “Trustee and Certificate Administrator’s Information”) and (vii) information with respect to which the Senior Trust Advisor has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters pursuant to the Senior Trust Advisor Indemnification Agreement (such information referred to herein as the “Senior Trust Advisor’s Information”); provided that with respect to any such untrue statement in or omission from the Time of Sale Information, the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph (a) shall not inure to the benefit of a particular Underwriter, its respective affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the extent that the sale to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability was an initial resale by such Underwriter and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of or with respect to such Underwriter results from the fact that (i) prior to the occurrence of the events described in clause (ii) below, and prior to the Time of Sale, the Depositor, any Seller, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, the Trustee and Certificate Administrator or the Senior Trust Advisor, as applicable, shall have notified such Underwriter that the Preliminary Free Writing Prospectus contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) such untrue statement or omission of a material fact was corrected in an amended or supplemented Free Writing Prospectus and such corrected Free Writing Prospectus was provided to such Underwriters far enough in advance of the Time of Sale (but not less than one (1) Business Day) so that such corrected Free Writing Prospectus could have been provided (electronically or otherwise) to such person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability prior to the Time of Sale, (iii) such Underwriter did not send or give such corrected Free Writing Prospectus to such person at or prior to the Time of Sale and (iv) such loss, claim, damage or liability would not have occurred had such Underwriter delivered the corrected Free Writing Prospectus to such person as provided for in clause (iii) above.

(b) Indemnification of the Depositor. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission contained in (i) any Underwriters’ Information specifically relating to such indemnifying Underwriter in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement

thereto) or (ii) any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter (in the case of an omission or an alleged omission, when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information); provided that, with respect to the foregoing clause (ii), no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless (x) to the extent that the Depositor is entitled to indemnification or contribution therefor under the terms of the indemnity of any Seller, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, the Trustee and Certificate Administrator or the Senior Trust Advisor, as applicable, set forth in the applicable Indemnification Agreement, (y) with respect to information that is also contained in the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or (z) to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor, any Seller, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, the Trustee and Certificate Administrator or the Senior Trust Advisor, as applicable, to the Underwriters at any time prior to the Time of Sale.

(c) Underwriter Indemnification. Each Underwriter (the “Indemnifying Underwriter”) agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each other Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “Non-Indemnifying Underwriter”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in the case of clauses (A) and (B) when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information) contained in (A) any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by such Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, in connection with the offer or sale of the Offered Certificates or in any revision or amendment thereof or supplement thereto and (B) any and all other summaries, reports, documents and written or electronic materials relating to the Certificates, prepared by such Underwriter or otherwise furnished or made available by such Underwriter for review by, prospective investors in the Offered Certificates, or (ii) the failure of such Indemnifying Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of Section 8, and agrees to reimburse such Non-Indemnifying Underwriter, as incurred for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, except to the extent (1) the Non-Indemnifying Underwriters are entitled to indemnification or contribution therefor under the terms of the indemnity from any Seller, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, the Trustee and Certificate Administrator or the Senior Trust Advisor, as applicable, set forth in the applicable Indemnification Agreement or (2) such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor, any Seller, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, the Trustee and Certificate Administrator or the Senior Trust Advisor, as applicable, to the Underwriters at any time prior to the Time of Sale; provided, further, that no Underwriter shall be liable to another Underwriter under this Section 7(c) for any losses, liabilities, claims or damages arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in any such document

prepared by such other Underwriter. This agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

(d) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person that may seek indemnification pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under Section 7(a), (b) or (c) except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under Section 7(a), (b) or (c). If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person 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 Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by such Underwriter and any such separate firm for the Depositor, its directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Depositor shall be designated in writing by the Depositor. The Indemnifying Person 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 Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened

proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 7(a), (b) or (c) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Person on the one hand and Indemnified Person on the other from the offering of the Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Person on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor on the one hand and each Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor from the sale of the Offered Certificates and the total fees, discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection therewith bear to the aggregate offering price of the Offered Certificates. The relative benefits received by a Non-Indemnifying Underwriter on the one hand and an Indemnifying Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total fees, discounts and commissions received by such party in connection therewith bear to the aggregate offering price of the Offered Certificates. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Person on the one hand and the Indemnified Person 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 was supplied by the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7(e) to the contrary, neither Barclays Capital Inc. nor Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, LLC (each, a “Subject Underwriter”) shall be obligated to make any contribution pursuant to this Section 7(e) in excess of the total fees received by it in connection with its acting as an Underwriter with respect to the Offered Certificates (such fees as to each such Underwriter, the related “Underwriter Fees”). In addition, if a Subject Underwriter incurs any losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses for which it is entitled to contribution from another Underwriter in accordance with the terms of Section 7(e) hereof, and if contribution in accordance with Section 7(e) hereof (without regard to this paragraph) would result in such Subject Underwriter bearing any portion of those losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses in excess of such Subject Underwriter’s related Underwriter Fees, then the Depositor shall further contribute to such Subject Underwriter such additional amount as would result in such Subject Underwriter’s bearing only such portion of those losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses as is equal to such Subject Underwriter’s Underwriter Fee.

(f) Limitation on Liability. The Depositor and each Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (e) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall any Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total fees, discounts and commissions received by it with respect to the offering of the Offered Certificates exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(g) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Offering Communications; Free Writing Prospectuses

(a) Unless preceded or accompanied by a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act, no Underwriter shall convey or deliver any written communication to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Offered Certificates, unless such written communication (1) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (2) is made in reliance on Rule 172 under the Securities Act, (3) constitutes a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Rule 430B under the Securities Act or (4) constitutes a Free Writing Prospectus. The Underwriters shall not convey or deliver in connection with the initial offering of the Certificates any “ABS informational and computational material,” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Securities Act (“ABS Informational and Computational Material”), in reliance upon Rules 167 and 426 under the Securities Act.

(b) Each Underwriter shall deliver to the Depositor, no later than two business days prior to the date of first use thereof, (a) any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that contains any “issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act¹ (“Issuer Information”) (which the parties hereto agree includes, without limitation, the Sellers’ Information) and (b) any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter or any portion thereof that contains only a description of the final terms of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Free Writing Prospectus that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Materials may be delivered by the Underwriters to the Depositor not later than the later of (a) two business days

¹ Such definition of “issuer information” is further clarified by footnote 271 to SEC Release No. 33-8591. See 70 Fed. Reg. 44,722, at 44,751 (August 3, 2005).

prior to the due date for filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or (b) the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Depositor that the Free Writing Prospectuses to be furnished to the Depositor by the Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(b) will constitute all Free Writing Prospectuses of the type described therein that were furnished to prospective purchasers of Offered Certificates by the Underwriter in connection with its offer and sale of the Offered Certificates.

(d) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Depositor that each Free Writing Prospectus required to be provided by it to the Depositor pursuant to Section 8(b), when read together with all other Time of Sale Information, did not, as of the Time of Sale, and will not as of the Closing Date, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided however, that the Underwriter makes no representation to the extent such misstatements or omissions were the result of any inaccurate Issuer Information, which information was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor or any Seller to the Underwriter prior to the Time of Sale.

(e) The Depositor agrees to file with the Commission the following:

(i) Any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus;

(ii) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof delivered by the Underwriter to the Depositor pursuant to Section 8(b); and

(iii) Any Free Writing Prospectus for which the Depositor or any person acting on its behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Depositor or any other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating communications.

(f) Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 8(e) by the Depositor shall be filed with the Commission not later than the date of first use of the Free Writing Prospectus, except that:

(i) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to be filed that contains only the description of the final terms of the Certificates shall be filed by the Depositor with the Commission within two days of the later of the date such final terms have been established for all classes of Certificates and the date of first use;

(ii) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to be filed that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Material shall be filed by the Depositor with the Commission not later than the later of the due date for filing the final Prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or two business days after the first use of such Free Writing Prospectus;

(iii) Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii) shall, if no payment has been made or consideration has been given by or on behalf of the Depositor for the Free Writing Prospectus or its dissemination, be filed by the Depositor with the Commission not later than four business days after the Depositor becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of the Free Writing Prospectus; and

(iv) The Depositor shall not be required to file (A) Issuer Information contained in any Free Writing Prospectus of an Underwriter or any other offering participant other than the Depositor, if such information is included or incorporated by reference in a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission that relates to the offering of the Certificates, or (B) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof that contains a description of the Certificates or the offering of the Certificates which does not reflect the final terms thereof.

(g) Each Underwriter shall provide to the Depositor any Free Writing Prospectus that is used or referred to by it and distributed by or on behalf of such Underwriter in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad, unrestricted dissemination not later than the date of the first use of such Free Writing Prospectus and the Depositor shall file such Free Writing Prospectus with the Commission.

(h) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(g), each Underwriter shall provide to the Depositor, who shall then file with the Commission, any Free Writing Prospectus for which the Underwriter or any person acting on its behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Depositor or any other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating written communications and for which no payment was made or consideration given by or on behalf of the Depositor or any other offering participant, not later than four business days after the Underwriter becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of the Free Writing Prospectus.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8(e) and 8(g), neither the Depositor nor the Underwriters shall be required to file any Free Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.

(j) The Depositor and the Underwriters each agree that any Free Writing Prospectuses prepared by it shall contain a legend substantially in the following form:

The depositor has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the depositor has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the depositor and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting XXXXX on the SEC Web site at xxx.xxx.xxx. Alternatively, the depositor, any underwriter or any

dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling 0-000-000-0000 or emailing xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx.

(k) (1) In the event that the Depositor becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information (such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus a “Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), the Depositor shall notify the Underwriters thereof within one business day after discovery and the Depositor shall, if requested by the Underwriters, prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) and (2) in the event that any Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information (such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus” and, together with a Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Free Writing Prospectus”), such Underwriter shall notify the Depositor thereof within one business day after discovery and shall, if requested by the Depositor:

(A) If the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, prepare a Free Writing Prospectus with Corrective Information that corrects the material misstatement in or omission from the Defective Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus” and, together with the Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Free Writing Prospectus”);

(B) Deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each purchaser of an Offered Certificate which received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus prior to entering into a contract of sale with such purchaser;

(C) Notify such purchaser in a prompt fashion that any prior contract of sale with such purchaser has been terminated, and of such purchaser’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement;

(D) Provide such purchaser with an opportunity to enter into a new contract of sale on the terms described in the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus; and

(E) Comply with any other requirements for reformation of the original contract of sale, as described in Section IV.2.c of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.

(l) Each Underwriter covenants with the Depositor that after the final Prospectus is available the Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Offered Certificates that contains Issuer Information to a prospective purchaser of Offered Certificates unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the final Prospectus.

(m) The Depositor and each Underwriter agree to retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that they have used and that are not required to be filed pursuant to this Section 8 for a period of three (3) years following the initial bona fide offering of the Offered Certificates.

9. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Depositor, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or there is a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States generally; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that in the judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Offered Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

11. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Offered Certificates that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Offered Certificates by other persons satisfactory to the Depositor on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Offered Certificates, then the Depositor shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Offered Certificates on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Depositor may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Depositor or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Depositor agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule I hereto that, pursuant to this Section 11, purchases Offered Certificates that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Depositor as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Offered Certificates that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Offered Certificates, then the Depositor shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Offered Certificates that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Offered Certificates that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Offered Certificates of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Depositor as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Offered Certificates that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Offered Certificates, or if the Depositor shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Depositor, except that the Depositor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 12 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Depositor or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

12. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Depositor will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Certificates and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Basic Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters; (v) the fees and expenses of the Depositor’s counsel and independent accountants; (vi) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Offered Certificates under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vii) any fees charged by the Rating Agencies for rating the Certificates; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, the Trustee and Certificate Administrator, and the Senior Trust Advisor (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (ix) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority; (x) all expenses incurred in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential purchasers of Offered Certificates;

and (xi) the costs and expenses of the Depositor in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10; (ii) the Depositor for any reason fails to tender the Offered Certificates for delivery to the Underwriters; or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Offered Certificates for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Depositor agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

13. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, other than the affiliates, officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 and their respective heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Offered Certificates from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

14. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Depositor and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Depositor or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Offered Certificates and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Depositor or the Underwriters.

15. Underwriters’ Information. The Depositor and the Underwriters acknowledge and agree that the only information relating to any Underwriter that has been furnished to the Depositor in writing by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Time of Sale Information consists of the following: (i) the last two paragraphs of the cover page of the Preliminary Free Writing Prospectus and (ii) (A) the third-to-last paragraph and the second-to-last paragraph of the cover page and (B) the fifth paragraph and the first and seventh sentences of the final paragraph under the heading “Method of Distribution (Underwriter Conflicts of Interest)” in the Prospectus Supplement.
