Dear Sirs:
IMC Securities, Inc. (the "Depositor"), a Delaware corporation, has
authorized the issuance and sale of IMC Home Equity Loan Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1997-5 consisting of (a) the Class A-1 Certificates, the
Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-4 Certificates,
the Class A-5 Certificates, the Class A-6 Certificates, the Class A-7
Certificates, the Class A-8 Certificates, the Class A-9 Certificates, the Class
A-10 Certificates and the Class A-11IO Certificates (collectively, the "Class A
Certificates"), (b) the Class M-1 Certificates and the Class M-2 Certificates
(collectively, the "Mezzanine Certificates"), (c) the Class B Certificates
(collectively with the Mezzanine Certificates, the "Subordinate Certificates")
and (d) a residual class of Certificates with respect to each REMIC held by the
Trust. Only the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class
B Certificates (collectively, the "Offered Certificates") are offered hereby.
The Certificates represent an undivided ownership interest in a pool
of fixed rate home equity loans (the "Home Equity Loans") held by IMC Home
Equity Loan Trust 1997-5 (the "Trust"). The Certificates will represent
undivided ownership interests in the Home Equity Loans, which are secured by
first and second lien mortgages or deeds of trust primarily on one- to
four-family residential properties.
Only the Offered Certificates are being purchased by the Underwriters
named in Schedule A hereto (the "Underwriters"), and the Underwriters are
purchasing, severally, only the Offered Certificates set forth opposite their
names in Schedule A, except that the amounts purchased by the Underwriters may
change in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement. Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co.
Inc. ("the Representative") is acting for itself and as representative of the
other Underwriters.

The Certificates will be issued under a pooling and servicing
agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of September 1,
1997 among the Depositor, IMC Mortgage Company ("IMC"), as seller and as
servicer (in such capacity, the "Servicer" or the "Seller," as the case may
be), and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Offered
Certificates will evidence fractional undivided interests in the trust (the
"Trust"). The Trust assets (not all of which will be included in the REMIC
elections), will initially include among other things, a pool of fixed rate
Home Equity Loans (the "Initial Home Equity Loans"), and such amounts as may be
held by the Trustee in the Pre-Funding Account (the "Pre-Funding Account"), the
Capitalized Interest Account (the "Capitalized Interest Account") and any other
accounts held by the Trustee for the Trust. On the Closing Date,
$146,551,159.76 will be deposited in the name of the Trustee in the Pre-Funding
Account. It is intended that additional Home Equity Loans satisfying the
criteria specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Subsequent Home
Equity Loans") will be purchased by the Trust for inclusion in the Trust from
the Depositor from time to time on or before September 30, 1997 from funds on
deposit in the Pre-Funding Account. Funds in the Capitalized Interest Account
will be applied by the Trustee to cover shortfalls in interest during the
Funding Period (as described herein under "Pre-Funding Account") on the Offered
Certificates attributable to the provisions allowing for purchase of Subsequent
Home Equity Loans after the Cut-Off date. The Offered Certificates will
initially represent an undivided ownership interest in the sum of (i) the
Initial Home Equity Loans in an amount of $828,448,840.24 as of the close of
business on September 1, 1997 (the "Cut-Off Date") and (ii) $146,551,159.76 on
deposit in the Pre-Funding Account. A form of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
(hereinafter defined).
The Certificates are more fully described in a Registration Statement
which the Depositor has furnished to the Underwriters. Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
Pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
concurrently with the execution thereof, IMC will transfer to the Depositor and
the Depositor will transfer to the Trust all of its right, title and interest
in and to the unpaid principal balances of the Initial Home Equity Loans as of
the Cut-Off Date and the collateral securing each Initial Home Equity Loan.

dates (other than the financial and statistical information
contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no
opinion), complied as to form in all material respects with
the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder.
3. To the best of such counsel's knowledge, there are no
material contracts, indentures or other documents of a
character required to be described or referred to in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement other than those
described or referred to therein or filed or incorporated by
reference as exhibits thereto.
4. The statements set forth in the Basic Prospectus
under the captions "Description of The Certificates" and
"Administration" and in the Prospectus Supplement under the
captions "Description of the Offered Certificates" and "The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement," to the extent such
statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the
Certificates or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are
fair and accurate in all material respects.
5. The statements set forth in the Prospectus and the
Prospectus Supplement under the captions "ERISA
Considerations" and "Federal Income Tax Consequences" to the
extent that they constitute matters of federal law, provide a
fair and accurate summary of such law or conclusions.
6. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement conforms in all
material respects to the description thereof contained in the
Prospectus and is not required to be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the Trust is not
required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
-12-
13
7. Neither the Depositor nor the Trust is an "investment
company" or under the "control" of an "investment company" as
such terms are defined in the 1940 Act.
8. Assuming that (a) the Trustee causes each of the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC (other than the
Non-REMIC Accounts), as the Trustee has covenanted to do in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to be treated as a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" (the "REMIC"), as such
term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and (b) the parties to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement comply with the terms thereof, the Offered
Certificates will be treated as "regular interests" in the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Class R Certificates will constitute
the sole class of "residual interest" in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
The Trust is not subject to tax upon its income or assets by
any taxing authority of the State of New York.
9. To the best of such counsel's knowledge, there are no
actions, proceedings or investigations pending that would
adversely affect the status of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or
the Lower-Tier REMIC (other than the Non-REMIC Accounts) as a
REMIC.
10. As a consequence of the qualification of each of the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC (other than the
Non-REMIC Accounts) as a REMIC, the Offered Certificates will
be treated as "regular. . . interest(s) in a REMIC" under
Section 7701(a)(19)(C) of the Code and "real estate assets"
under Section 856(c) of the Code in the same proportion that
the assets in the Trust consist of qualifying assets under
such Sections. In addition, as a consequence of the
qualification of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC (other than the Non-REMIC Accounts) as a
REMIC, interest on the Offered Certificates will be treated as
"interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real
property" under Section 856(c) of the Code to the extent that
such Offered Certificates are treated as "real estate assets"
under Section 856(c) of the Code.
11. The Offered Certificates will, when issued, conform
to the descriptions thereof contained in the Prospectus.
12. The Offered Certificates, when duly and validly
executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and delivered to the
Underwriters and paid for in accordance with the Underwriting
Agreement, will be entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
Such counsel shall also have furnished to the Underwriters a written
statement, addressed to the Underwriters and dated the closing Date,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters to the effect
that no facts have come to the attention of
-13-
14
such counsel which lead them to believe that: (a) the Registration
Statement, at the time such Registration Statement became effective,
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading (except as to financial or
statistical data contained in the Registration Statement); (b) the
Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, contained or
contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits 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; or (c) any
document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any further
amendment or supplement to any such incorporated document made by the
Depositor prior to the Closing Date contained, as of the time it
became effective or was filed with the Commission, as the case may be,
an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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.
E. The Underwriters shall have received the favorable opinion,
dated the Closing Date, of Xxxxx & Xxxxxx, special counsel to the
Depositor, addressed to the Depositor and satisfactory to Fitch
Investors Service, L.P., Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. and the
Underwriters, with respect to certain matters relating to the transfer
of the Initial Home Equity Loans to the Depositor and from the
Depositor to the Trust, and such counsel shall have consented to the
reliance on such opinion by Fitch Investors Service, L.P., Xxxxx'x
Investors Service, Inc. and the Underwriters as though such opinion
had been addressed to each such party.
X. Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, P.A., special counsel to IMC, in IMC's
capacity as both Seller and Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, and/or Xxxxx & Xxxxxx shall have furnished to the
Underwriters their written opinion or opinions, addressed to the
Underwriters and the Depositor and dated the Closing Date, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect that:
1. IMC has been duly organized and is validly existing
as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State
of Florida and has duly authorized all actions contemplated
hereby.
2. IMC has full power and authority to serve in the
capacity of seller and servicer of the Home Equity Loans as
contemplated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to
transfer the Home Equity Loans to the Depositor as
contemplated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
3. This Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
IMC and, assuming the due authorization, execution and
delivery of such agreements by the other parties thereto,
constitute the legal, valid and binding agreements of IMC,
enforceable
-14-
15
against IMC in accordance with their terms, subject as to
enforceability to (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, receivership or other similar laws now or
hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally
and (y) the qualification that the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief
may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion,
with respect to such remedies, of the court before which any
proceedings with respect thereto may be brought.
4. No consent, approval, authorization, order,
registration or qualification of or with any court or
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over IMC is
required for the consummation by the Servicer of the
transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, except such consents, approvals, authorizations,
registrations and qualifications as have been obtained.
5. Neither the transfer of the Initial Home Equity Loans
by IMC to the Depositor, nor the execution, delivery or
performance by IMC of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the transactions contemplated thereby (A) conflict with or
result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, (i) any
term or provision of the formation documents of IMC, as
applicable; (ii) any term or provision of any material
agreement, deed of trust, mortgage loan agreement, contract,
instrument or indenture, or other agreement to which IMC is a
party or is bound or to which any of the property or assets of
IMC or any of its subsidiaries is subject; (iii) to the best
of such firm's knowledge without independent investigation any
order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
governmental authority having jurisdiction over IMC; or (iv)
any law, rule or regulations applicable to IMC; or (B) to the
best of such firm's knowledge without independent
investigation, results in the creation or imposition of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Trust Estate or upon the
Certificates.
6. The execution of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
is sufficient to convey all of IMC's right, title and interest
in the Initial Home Equity Loans to the Depositor and
following the consummation of the transaction contemplated by
section 3.05 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
transfer of the Initial Home Equity Loans by IMC to the
Depositor is a sale thereof.
7. Each Subsequent Transfer Agreement at the time of
its execution and delivery will be sufficient to convey all of
IMC's right, title and interest in the Subsequent Home Equity
Loans to the Depositor and following the consummation of the
transaction contemplated by each Subsequent Transfer
Agreement, the transfer of the Subsequent Home Equity Loans by
IMC to the Depositor will be a sale thereof.
8. There are, to the best of such counsel's knowledge
without independent
-15-
16
investigation, no actions, proceedings or investigations
pending with respect to which IMC has received service of
process or threatened against IMC before any court,
administrative agency or other tribunal (a) asserting the
validity of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Underwriting Agreement or the Certificates, (b) seeking to
prevent the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (c)
which would materially and adversely affect the performance by
IMC of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the
Underwriting Agreement.
Such opinion may rely on the opinion of Florida
counsel as to matters governed by Florida law to the extent
such Florida opinion is satisfactory, in form and substance,
to the Underwriters.
X. Xxxxx & Xxxxxx, special counsel for the Depositor, shall have
furnished to the Underwriters their written opinion, addressed to the
Underwriters and dated the Closing Date, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect that:
1. The Depositor has been duly organized and is validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or
lease of property or the conduct of its business so requires.
The Depositor has all power and authority necessary to own or
hold its properties and to conduct the business in which it is
engaged and to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to
cause the Certificates to be issued.
2. The Depositor has the requisite power and authority
and legal right to own the Class R Certificates.
3. The Depositor is not in violation of its certificate
of incorporation or by-laws or in default in the performance
or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant
or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage,
loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the
Depositor is a party or by which it or its properties may be
bound, which default might result in any material adverse
changes in the financial condition, earnings, affairs or
business of the Depositor or which might materially and
adversely affect the properties or assets, taken as a whole,
of the Depositor.
4. This Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the Purchase Agreement relating to the purchase of the
Class R Certificates (the "Purchase Agreement") have been duly
authorized, and when duly executed and delivered by the
Depositor and, assuming the due authorization, execution and
delivery of such agreements by the other parties thereto, such
agreements constitute valid
-16-
17
and binding obligations, enforceable against the Depositor in
accordance with their respective terms, subject as to
enforceability to (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors' rights generally, (y) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (z) with
respect to rights of indemnity under this Agreement,
limitations of public policy under applicable securities laws.
5. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each
Subsequent Transfer Agreement by the Depositor, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, and the issuance and delivery of the Certificates do
not and will not conflict with or result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute
a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the
Depositor is a party or by which the Depositor is bound or to
which any of the property or assets of the Depositor or any of
its subsidiaries is subject, which breach or violation would
have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or
financial condition of the Depositor, nor will such actions
result in a violation of the provisions of the certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor or any statute or
any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental
agency or body having jurisdiction over the Depositor or any
of its properties or assets, which breach or violation would
have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or
financial condition of the Depositor.
6. The direction by the Depositor to the Trustee to
execute, issue, authenticate and deliver the Certificates has
been duly authorized by the Depositor and, assuming that the
Trustee has been duly authorized to do so, when executed,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates will be
validly issued and outstanding and will be entitled to the
benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
7. No consent, approval, authorization, order,
registration or qualification of or with any court or
governmental agency or body of the United States is required
for the issuance of the Certificates, and the sale of the
Offered Certificates to the Underwriters, or the consummation
by the Depositor of the other transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except
such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
qualifications as may be required State securities or Blue Sky
laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the
Offered Certificates by the Underwriters or as have been
previously obtained.
8. There are not, to the best of such counsel's
knowledge, after reasonable
-17-
18
independent investigation, any actions, proceedings or
investigations pending with respect to which the Depositor has
received service of process before or, threatened by any
court, administrative agency or other tribunal to which the
Depositor is a party or of which any of its properties is the
subject: (a) which if determined adversely to the Depositor
would have a material adverse effect on the business, results
of operations or financial condition of the Depositor; (b)
asserting the invalidity of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, this Agreement or the Certificates; (c) seeking to
prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the consummation
by the Depositor of any of the transactions contemplated by
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, as the
case may be; or (d) which might materially and adversely
affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations
under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, this Agreement or the Certificates.
H. The Underwriters shall have received the favorable opinion of
counsel to the Trustee, dated the Closing Date, addressed to the
Underwriters and in form and scope satisfactory to counsel to the
Underwriters, to the effect that:
1. The Trustee is a banking corporation duly
incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State
of New York.
2. The Trustee has the full corporate trust power to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action of the Trustee.
4. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is a valid and
legally binding obligation of the Trustee enforceable against
the Trustee.
5. The execution and delivery by the Trustee of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement does not (a) violate the
Organization Certificate of the Trustee or the Bylaws of the
Trustee, (b) to such counsel's knowledge, violate any
judgment, decree or order of any New York or United States
federal court or other New York or United States federal
governmental authority by which the Trustee is bound or (c)
assuming the non-existence of any judgment, decree or order of
any court or other governmental authority that would be
violated by such execution and delivery, violate any New York
or United States federal statute, rule or regulation or
require any consent, approval or authorization of any New York
or United States federal court or other New York or United
States federal governmental authority.
-18-
19
6. The Certificates have been duly authenticated,
executed and delivered by the Trustee.
7. If the Trustee were acting as Servicer under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement as of the date of such
opinion, the Trustee would have the full corporate trust power
to perform the obligations of the Servicer under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement; and
8. To the best of such counsel's knowledge, there are no
actions, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened
against or affecting the Trustee before or by any court,
arbitrator, administrative agency or other governmental
authority which, if decided adversely to the Trustee, would
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Trustee to
carry out the transactions contemplated in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
I. The Underwriters shall have received the favorable opinion or
opinions, dated the date of the Closing Date, of counsel for the Underwriters,
with respect to the issue and sale of the Offered Certificates, the
Registration Statement, this Agreement, the Prospectus and such other related
matters as the Underwriters may reasonably require.
X. The Depositor and IMC shall each have furnished to the
Underwriters a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by the Chairman
of the Board, the President or a Vice President of the Depositor and IMC,
respectively, stating as it relates to each such entity:
1. The representations and warranties made by such
entity in this Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date; and
such entity has complied with all agreements contained herein
which are to have been complied with on or prior to the
Closing Date.
2. The information contained in the Prospectus relating
to such entity and the Home Equity Loans is true and accurate
in all material respects and nothing has come to his or her
attention that would lead such officer to believe that the
Registration statement or the Prospectus includes any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
3. There has been no amendment or other document filed
affecting the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the
Depositor since November 10, 1994 or the formation documents
of IMC since June 19, 1990 and no such amendment has been
authorized. No event has occurred since September 15, 1997
which has affected the good standing of the Depositor under
the laws of the State of Delaware or since September 18, 1997
which has affected the good standing of
-19-
20
IMC under the laws of the state of Florida.
4. There has not occurred any material adverse change,
or any development involving a prospective material adverse
change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the

1997.
In addition to the foregoing, the IMC certificate shall state that the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 1 D, E, F, G, H,
L, M, P and Q of this Agreement are made by IMC instead of the
Depositor and are true as to IMC as though such representations and
warranties were fully set forth in such certificate.
K. The Trustee shall have furnished to the Underwriters a
certificate of the Trustee, signed by one or more duly authorized
officers of the Trustee, dated the Closing Date, as to the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement by the Trustee and the acceptance by the Trustee of the

delivery of the Certificates by the Trustee thereunder and such other
matters as the Representative shall reasonably request.
L. Each Class of the Offered Certificates shall have been rated
in the respective rating categories and by the nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations described in the Prospectus
Supplement under "Ratings."
M. The Depositor shall have furnished to the Underwriters such
further information, certificates and documents as the Underwriters
may reasonably have requested not less than three full business days
prior to the Closing Date.

have been furnished with such documents and opinions as they may
reasonably require for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the
issuance and sale of the Certificates as herein contemplated and
related proceedings or in order to evidence the accuracy and
completeness of any of the representations and warranties, or the
fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein contained, and all
proceedings taken by the Depositor in connection with the issuance and
sale of the Certificates as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory
in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the
Underwriters.
O. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement
none of the following shall have occurred: (i) trading in securities

(iv) 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 each of the instances set forth in
clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) herein, in the reasonable judgment
of the Underwriters, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the
public offering or delivery of the Certificates on the terms and in
the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
P. The Underwriters shall have received from Coopers & Xxxxxxx
L.L.P., certified public accountants, a letter dated the date of the
Prospectus Supplement and a letter dated the date hereof and
satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and their
counsel, to the effect that they have performed certain specified

SECTION 8 Indemnification and Contribution. A. The Depositor agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who
controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act from and against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or
several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any
loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of the
Offered Certificates), to which such Underwriter or any such controlling person
may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i)

untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in the Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the
Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Depositor by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for inclusion

B. Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the

with written information furnished to the Depositor by or on behalf of such
Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the
Depositor and any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor or any director, officer or
controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing
to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any
liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Depositor or any such
director, officer or controlling person. The only information furnished by the
Underwriters or on behalf of the Underwriters for use in connection with the
preparation of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is described in
Section 8(I) hereof.
C. Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however,
that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the
failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 8.
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified
party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it
wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of
its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, except to the
extent provided in the next following
-23-
24
paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party
under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation.
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party
unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available
to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is
advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the
indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if
such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it
elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, 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 (in
addition to one local counsel per jurisdiction) at any time for all such
indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the related
Underwriter, if the indemnified parties under this Section 8 consist of one or
more Underwriters or any of its or their controlling persons, or the Depositor,
if the indemnified parties under this Section 8 consist of the Depositor or any
of the Depositor's directors, officers or controlling persons.
Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements
contained in Section 8(A) and (B), shall use its best efforts to cooperate with
the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if at any time an indemnified
party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified
party for fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after
receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
D. Each Underwriter agrees to provide the Depositor no later than
two Business
-24-
25
Days prior to the day on which the Prospectus Supplement is required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424 with a copy of any Computational Materials (as
defined in Section 5(E) hereof) produced by such Underwriter for filing with
the Commission on Form 8-K.
E. Each Underwriter severally agrees, assuming all Seller
Provided Information is accurate and complete in all material respects, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, each of the Depositor's officers and
directors and each person who controls the Depositor within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Computational Materials
provided by such Underwriter and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified
party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him, her or it in
connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The
obligations of an Underwriter under this Section 8(E) shall be in addition to
any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.
The procedures set forth in Section 8(C) shall be equally applicable
to this Section 8(E).
F. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall
for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under Section 8(A), (B) or (E) in respect of any loss, claim,
damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof,
(i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Depositor on the one hand and the related Underwriter on the
other from the offering of the related Offered Certificates or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or
if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 8(C),
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 Depositor on
the one hand and the related Underwriter on the other with respect to the
statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or
liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.
The relative benefits of the Depositor and an Underwriter shall be
deemed to be in such proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering
(before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor bear to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions as set forth on the cover page of the
Prospectus Supplement received by such Underwriter.
The relative fault of an Underwriter and the Depositor shall be
determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Depositor or by such Underwriter, the intent of
the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
-25-
26
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and other
equitable considerations.
The Depositor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(F) were to be determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for
such purposes) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into
account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or
liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8(F)
shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(F), any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim.
For purposes of this Section 8, in no case shall any Underwriter be
responsible for any amount in excess of the amount of the underwriting
discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with its
purchase of the Offered Certificates. 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.
G. For purposes of this Section 8, as to each Underwriter the
term "Computational Materials" means such portion, if any, of the information
delivered to the Depositor by such Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(D) for
filing with the Commission on Form 8-K as:
(i) is not contained in the Prospectus without taking into account
information incorporated therein by reference through a Form 8-K --
Computational Materials; and
(ii) does not constitute Seller-Provided Information.
"Seller-Provided Information" means any computer tape (or other information)
furnished to any Underwriter by or on behalf of the Seller and Servicer
concerning the assets comprising the Trust.
X. The Seller and Xxxxxxxx agrees to indemnify each indemnified
party referred to in Section 8(A) hereof with respect to Seller Provided
Information to the same extent as the indemnity granted under such section.
The procedures set forth in Section 8(C) shall be equally applicable to this
Section 8(H).
I. Each Underwriter confirms that the information regarding such
Underwriter set forth in the last paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus
Supplement, the information regarding such Underwriter set forth under the
caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus Supplement and the Computational
Materials (other than to the extent such information is based on Seller
Provided Information) furnished by such Underwriter is correct, and the parties
hereto acknowledge that such information constitutes the only information
furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use in connection
with the preparation of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

SECTION 9 Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Depositor submitted
pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or controlling
persons thereof, or by or on behalf of the Depositor and shall survive delivery
of any Offered Certificates to the Underwriters.
SECTION 10 Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or
more of the Underwriters participating in the public offering of the Offered
Certificates shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Offered
Certificates which it is (or they are) obligated to purchase hereunder (the
"Defaulted Certificates"), then the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the
right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the
non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but
not less than all, of the Defaulted Certificates in such amounts as may be
agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth. If, however, the Underwriters
have not completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:
(i) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Certificates
does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Offered
Certificates to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the
non-defaulting Underwriters named in this Agreement shall be obligated
to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their
respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting
obligations of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or
(ii) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Certificates
exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Offered
Certificates to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, this
Agreement shall terminate, without any liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Underwriters.
No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any
defaulting Underwriter from the liability with respect to any default of such
Underwriter under this Agreement.
In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this
Section 10, each of the Underwriters and the Depositor shall have the right to
postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding five Business Days in
order that any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or
in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.
SECTION 11 Termination of Agreement. The Underwriters may terminate
this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Depositor, at any time at or
prior to the Closing Date if any of the events or conditions described in
Section 6(P) of this Agreement shall occur and be continuing. In the event of
any such termination, the covenant set forth in Section 5(G), the provisions of
Section 7, the indemnity agreement set forth in Section 8, and the provisions
of Sections 9 and 15 shall remain in effect.
