provided, however, that no Underwriter shall be required to file (1) any Free

10
(g) The Company and each Underwriter agree that any Free Writing
Prospectuses prepared by it shall contain the following legend:
The depositor has filed a registration
statement (including a prospectus) with the
SEC (SEC File No. 333- ______) 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, the issuing entity and this
offering. You may get these documents for free
by visiting XXXXX on the SEC Web site at

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 by emailing
XXXXXXX@xxxxxx.xxx.
(h) The Company and the Underwriters agree that each of them shall
retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that it has used and not filed with the
Commission for a period of three years following the initial bona fide offering
of the Certificates.
(i) In the event that the Company becomes aware that, as of the
Time of Sale, any information in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer
Information contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when
read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a "Defective Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus"), the Company shall notify the Underwriters of such
untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery and the
Company 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").
In the event that any Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale,
any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered to an investor in any
Certificates contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (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 Company of such untrue statement or omission within one
business day after discovery.
The Underwriters shall, if requested by the Company:
(i) If the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an
Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, prepare a Free Writing Prospectus
that corrects the material misstatement in or omission from the Defective
Free Writing Prospectus (together with a Corrected Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, a "Corrected Free Writing Prospectus");
(ii) Either (A) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus
to each investor which received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus
prior to entering into a contract of sale with such investor, clearly
identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information, or (B) deliver the
Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor which received the
Defective Free Writing Prospectus, clearly identifying or highlighting the
Corrective Information, and (x) notify in writing
11
each such investor in a prominent fashion that the prior contract of sale
with such investor has been terminated, and of such investor's rights as a
result of termination of such agreement and (y) provide such investor with
an opportunity to affirmatively agree in writing to purchase the
Certificates on the terms described in the Corrected Free Writing
Prospectus; and
(iii) Comply with any other requirements for reformation of
the original contract of sale with such investor, as described in Section
IV.A.2.c of Commission's Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.
In the event that the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus and the defective information was not provided by any party
that would be obligated to indemnify the Underwriters under the Indemnification
Agreements, and the Underwriters shall in good faith incur any costs to an
investor in connection with the reformation of the contract of sale with the
investor, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for such costs;
provided that, before incurring such costs, the Underwriters first permit the
Company access to the applicable investor and an opportunity to attempt to
mitigate such costs through direct negotiation with such investor.
(j) Each Underwriter covenants with the Company that after the
Prospectus is available such Underwriter shall not distribute any written
information concerning the Certificates to a prospective investor unless such
information is preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus.
(k) Each of LBHI and __________ covenants with the Company that it
will not prepare or have prepared on its behalf, or use or refer to, any Free
Writing Prospectus that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
without the prior written consent of the Company, and each of LBHI and
__________ represents and warrants to the Company that it has not previously
done so. In event the Company consents in writing to, in advance of, such
preparation, use or referral of a Free Writing Prospectus by a Mortgage Loan
Seller, such Mortgage Loan Seller will deliver such Free Writing Prospectus to
the Company for filing in accordance with the timeframes set forth in Section
4(e).
(l) Each Underwriter hereby represents and warrants to and
covenants with the Company that:
(i) such Underwriter has only communicated or caused to be
communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any
invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the
meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the
"FSMA")) received by such Underwriter in connection with the issue or sale
of any Certificates in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA
does not apply to the Company; and
(ii) such Underwriter has complied and will comply with all
applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by such
Underwriter in relation to the Certificates in, from or otherwise
involving the United Kingdom.
(m) In relation to each Member State of the European Economic
Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member
State"), each Underwriter hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with
the Company that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus
Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the "Relevant
Implementation Date") such Underwriter has not made and will not make an offer
of Certificates to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the
publication of a prospectus in relation to the Certificates which has been
approved
12
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 such Underwriter may, with effect from and including the
Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of Certificates to the public in
that Relevant Member State at any time:
(i) to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to
operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated,
whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;
(ii) to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an
average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year, (2) a
total balance sheet of more than (euro)43,000,000 and (3) an annual net
turnover of more than (euro)50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or
consolidated accounts; or
(iii) in any other circumstances which do not require the
publication by the Company of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the
Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of
Certificates to the public" in relation to any 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 Certificates so as to enable an
investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the 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 includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant
Member State.
(n) Each of the Underwriters hereby confirms that it is aware that
no German sales prospectus (Verkaufsprospekt) has been or will be published in
respect of the offering of the Certificates, and each of the Underwriters hereby
represents, warrants and agrees that it will comply with the German Securities
Sales Prospectus Act (Wertpapier-Verkaufsprospektgesetz) or any other laws
applicable in Germany governing the issue, offering and sale of the
Certificates. In particular, each of the Underwriters agrees not to engage in a
public offering (Offentliches Angebot) in Germany with respect to any of the
Certificates otherwise than in accordance with the German Securities Sales
Prospectus Act and any other act replacing or supplementing it and all other
applicable laws and regulations.
(o) No Underwriter shall take any action relating to the offer or
sale of any of the Certificates in any jurisdiction that would result in the
Company being obligated to register or file any further prospectus or
corresponding document relating to the Certificates in such jurisdiction, other
than as expressly contemplated hereby.
5. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants
with the respective Underwriters that:
(a) During such period following the date of this Agreement in
which any Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act (the
"Prospectus Delivery Period"), the Company will deliver to each Underwriter such
number of copies of the Prospectus, and any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, as such Underwriter may reasonably request.
13
(b) During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will file
promptly with the Commission any amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus relating to or covering the Certificates that may,
in the judgment of the Company or the Underwriters, be required by the 1933 Act
and the 1933 Act Rules or requested by the Commission and approved by the
Underwriters.
(c) Prior to filing with the Commission during the Prospectus
Delivery Period any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement
relating to or covering the Certificates (other than an amendment by reason of
Rule 429 under the 1933 Act) or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus,
the Company will furnish a copy thereof to the Underwriters, and the Company
will not file any such amendment or supplement to which the Underwriters shall
reasonably object.
(d) The Company will advise the Underwriters promptly (i) when,
during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement relating to or covering the Certificates (other than any
amendment by reason of Rule 429 under the 1933 Act) becomes effective, (ii) of
any request or proposed request by the Commission for any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement (insofar as the amendment or supplement
relates to or covers the Certificates), for any amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus or for any additional information with respect to the Certificates,
(iii) of the issuance by the Commission, during the Prospectus Delivery Period,
of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
the initiation or threat of any such stop order proceeding, (iv) of receipt by
the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation
or threat of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the occurrence, during
the Prospectus Delivery Period, of any event that makes untrue any statement of
a material fact made in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus or that
requires the making of a change in or addition to the Registration Statement or
any Prospectus in order to make any material statement therein not misleading.
(e) If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Commission
issues an order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the
Company will make every reasonable effort to obtain the lifting of that order at
the earliest possible time.
(f) The Company will endeavor to qualify the Certificates for
offer and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the
Underwriters may reasonably request; provided, however, that this Section 5(f)
shall not obligate the Company to file any general consent to service of process
or to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction or as a dealer in securities in
any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified.
(g) The costs and expenses associated with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be payable by __________ and LBHI, as and
to the extent provided in the respective Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements.
(h) The Company will file any documents and any amendments thereof
as may be required to be filed by it pursuant to the 1933 Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and the rules and regulations
of the Commission under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, including, but not
limited to, the filing with the Commission, to the extent required under Rule
433 of the 1933 Act Rules, all Free Writing Prospectuses that the Company is
required to file under Section 4(d) hereof, within the time frames set forth in
Section 4(e) hereof. Subject to compliance by each Underwriter with the
requirements of Section 4(b) hereof, the Company represents and warrants that,
to the extent required by Rule 433 under the 1933 Act, the Company has timely
filed with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectuses contemplated to be filed
by it under Section 4(d) hereof.

mortgage securitization transactions involving the Company and the
Underwriters).
(f) The Underwriters shall have received copies of all legal
opinion letters delivered by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, special counsel for
the Company, to the Rating Agencies in connection with the issuance of the
Certificates, accompanied in each case by a letter signed by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx &

the Company, a favorable opinion, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Underwriters (taking into account comparable

Underwriters).
(h) The Underwriters shall have received from Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx &
Xxxx LLP, special counsel for the Company, a letter, dated the Closing Date,
containing a statement substantially to the effect that, based on discussions
with certain representatives of the Company, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the

respective counsel, and (with limited exception) without having reviewed any of
the mortgage notes, mortgages or other documents relating to the Mortgage Loans,
or any documents, records, agreements, ratings or portfolio data or any other
information regarding the business or operations of the sponsors, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement), and without having made any independent check or
verification of the statements contained in the Prospectus or the Time of Sale
Information, nothing has come to such counsel's attention that would lead it to
believe that the Offering Prospectus, at the Time of Sale, or the Prospectus, at
the date of the Prospectus Supplement or at the Closing Date, contained or
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that such
counsel need not comment on (i) any financial, statistical or numerical data set
forth or referred to therein or omitted therefrom, (ii) any information set
forth on or omitted from any diskette or CD-ROM that may accompany the
Prospectus, (iii) any documents or information incorporated therein by
reference, or (iv) any Third-Party Information contained therein or omitted
therefrom.
(i) The Underwriters shall have received from __________,
certified public accountants, a letter dated the date of the Prospectus
Supplement and satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and
their counsel, to the following effect:
(i) they have performed certain specified procedures as a
result of which they have determined that such information of an
accounting, financial or statistical nature set forth in the Time of Sale
Information, as was agreed upon by the Underwriters, agrees with the data
sheet or computer tape prepared by or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan
Sellers, unless otherwise noted in such letter;
(ii) they have performed certain specified procedures as a
result of which they have determined that such information of an
accounting, financial or statistical nature set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement, as was agreed upon by the Underwriters, agrees with the data
sheet or computer tape prepared by or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan
Sellers, unless otherwise noted in such letter; and
16
(iii) they have compared the data contained in the data sheet
or computer tape referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and
(ii) to information contained in an agreed upon sampling of the Mortgage
Loan files and in such other sources as shall be specified by them, and
found such data and information to be in agreement in all material
respects, unless otherwise noted in such letter.
(j) The Underwriters shall have received, with respect to each of
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, a favorable opinion
of counsel, dated the Closing Date, addressing: the valid existence of such
party under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; the due authorization,
execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by such party; the
enforceability of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against such party,
subject to such limitations as are reasonably acceptable to the Underwriters and
their counsel; and such other matters as the Underwriters and their counsel may
reasonably request. Counsel rendering each such opinion may express its reliance
as to factual matters on representations and warranties made by, and on
certificates or other documents furnished by officers and/or authorized
representatives of, the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and on
certificates furnished by public officials and, further, may assume the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the instruments and documents referred
to therein by the parties thereto other than the party on behalf of which such
opinion is being rendered. Each such opinion need cover only the laws of the
State of New York, the laws of the jurisdiction of organization for the party on
behalf of which such opinion is being rendered and the federal law of the United
States.
(k) The Underwriters shall have been furnished with all documents,
certificates and opinions required to be delivered by each Mortgage Loan Seller
and/or any affiliate thereof in connection with the sale of Mortgage Loans by
such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Company, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement. The Underwriters shall be entitled to rely on each such
certificate executed and delivered by a Mortgage Loan Seller, any affiliate
thereof or any of their respective officers and representatives, to the same
extent that the Company may so rely, and each such opinion addressed to the
Company shall also be addressed to the Underwriters.
(l) The Underwriters shall have been furnished with such other
documents and opinions as the Underwriters 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 of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any
of the conditions, herein contained.
(m) The Certificates shall have been assigned ratings no less than
those set forth on Schedule I and such ratings shall not have been qualified,
downgraded or withdrawn.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have
been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement,
if the Company is in material breach of any covenants or agreements contained
herein or if any of the opinions and certificates referred to above or elsewhere
in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Underwriters and their counsel, this Agreement and
all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be cancelled at, or at any
time prior to, the Closing Date by the Underwriters. Notice of such cancellation
shall be given to the Company in writing, or by telephone or telegraph confirmed
in writing.
7. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS' EXPENSES. If the sale of the
Certificates provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the
obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied
or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to
17
perform in all material respects any agreement herein or comply in all material
respects with any provision hereof, other than by reason of a default by the
Underwriters or a refusal, inability or failure on the part of __________ or any
of its affiliates to perform in all material respects any agreement in, or
comply in all material respects with any provision of, the __________ Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters upon
demand, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by any of them in
connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Certificates. If the sale
of the Certificates provided for herein is not consummated because of a refusal,
inability or failure on the part of __________ or any of its affiliates to
perform in all material respects any agreement in, or comply in all material
respects with any provision of, the __________ Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
__________ will reimburse the Underwriters upon demand, for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall
have been incurred by any of them in connection with the proposed purchase and
sale of the Certificates. An Underwriter will be entitled to the benefits of
this Section 7 notwithstanding that it does not have an allocation of
Certificates.
8. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Underwriters and each person, if any, who controls each Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against:
(i) any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs
and expenses whatsoever, as incurred (A) arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission
or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B)
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment
or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom 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 or
(C) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Company or any Issuer
Information contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, or the
omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (when read in
conjunction with the other Time of Sale Information), in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which was not
corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company
or any Mortgage Loan Seller to any Underwriter within a reasonable period
of time prior to the Time of Sale;
(ii) any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs
and expenses whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate
amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or
any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or
any such alleged untrue statement or omission, contemplated by clause (i)
above, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
Company or as otherwise provided in Section 8(c) hereof; and
(iii) any and all expenses whatsoever, as incurred (including,
without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the
Underwriters), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing for or
defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever based upon any
18
such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission, contemplated by clause (i) above, to the extent that any such
expense is not paid under clause (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable under the indemnity
agreement in this subsection (a) for any such loss, liability, claim, damage,
cost or expense that arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission contemplated by clause (i)
above that was made in the Excluded Information; and, provided, further, that
the Company shall not be liable to any Underwriter or any person controlling
such Underwriter under the indemnity agreement in this subsection (a) for any
such loss, liability, claim, damage, cost or expense that arises out of or is
based upon any untrue statement or omission contemplated by clause (i) above as
to which any Underwriter has agreed to indemnify the Company pursuant to Section
8(b).
(b) The respective Underwriters, severally and not jointly, each
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its
officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section
20 of the 1934 Act against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
costs and expenses described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 8(a)
hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to (i) untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions made in the Underwriter
Information or (ii) untrue statements or omissions made in any Underwriter Free
Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter or omissions or
alleged omissions to state in such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (when read in
conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that such Underwriter shall not be liable under the indemnity agreement in this
subsection (b) for any such loss, liability, claim, damage, cost or expense that
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 Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to any
Underwriter within a reasonable period of time prior to the Time of Sale.
(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to
so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from
any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity
agreement in subsection (a) or (b), as applicable, of this Section 8. An
indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such
action and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from the
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to
such indemnified party. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have
the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such
counsel, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of
such action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, within a
reasonable period following the indemnifying party's receiving notice of such
action, or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In no event shall
the indemnifying party or parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than
one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its or their own
counsel to all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate
but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances.
19
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an indemnifying
party shall not be liable under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8 for any
settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to
any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which
indemnification could be sought under such subsection (a) or (b), as the case
may be, of this Section 8, effected without its written consent, unless (i) at
any time an indemnified party shall have requested such indemnifying party to
reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel for which the
indemnifying party is obligated under this Section 8, (ii) such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed
the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement.
No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be sought under subsection
(a) or (b), as applicable, of this Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified
parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement,
compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation,
proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission
of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.
(d) The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result
of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs or expenses referred to in
this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal fees and disbursements or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim except where the indemnified party is
required to bear such expenses, which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay
as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent
that it is reasonable to believe that the indemnifying party will be ultimately
obligated to pay such expenses. In the event that any expenses so paid by the
indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by
the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall
promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment.
(e) The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive
and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to
any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 8 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters,
any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the
Company or any of the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any
of the Certificates.
9. CONTRIBUTION.
(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 8(a) or
Section 8(b) hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the
indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the
Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and
expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the
Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, as incurred,
(i) in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other
hand, from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by
20
clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the
Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and/or
expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided,
however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be responsible under this Section
9(a) for any amount in excess of the fees and/or underwriting discounts received
by such Underwriter in connection with the underwriting of the Certificates,
less any amount previously paid by such Underwriter in respect of the subject
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and/or expenses. For purposes of the
foregoing, the benefits received by the Company in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to be equal to the
total gross proceeds from the sale of the Certificates (before deducting
expenses, but excluding fees paid to the Underwriters) received by the Company,
and the benefits received by each Underwriter in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to be equal to the
fees and/or underwriting discounts received by such Underwriter in connection
with the underwriting of the Certificates. The relative fault of the Company, on
the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(a)
were determined by per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation
that does not take account of the considerations referred to in this Section
9(a).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who
signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The remedies
provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights
or remedies that may otherwise be available at law or in equity to any party
entitled to contribution under this Section 9.
(c) The contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters,
any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the
Company or any of the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any
of the Certificates.
21
10. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS TO SURVIVE
DELIVERY. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted
pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf
of the Company, or by or on behalf of any of the controlling persons and
officers and directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and shall survive
delivery of the Certificates to the Underwriters.
11. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL.
(a) The Underwriters may terminate their obligations under this
Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date
(i) if there has been, since the date of this Agreement or since the respective
dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or
otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not
arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any
outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis the
effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the
Underwriters, impracticable to market the Certificates or to enforce contracts
for the sale of the Certificates, or (iii) if trading generally on the New York
Stock Exchange has been suspended, or if a banking moratorium has been declared
by either federal or New York authorities.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11,
such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party,
except that the provisions of Section 5(g) hereof regarding the payment of costs
and expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
12. SUBSTITUTION OF UNDERWRITERS.
(a) If any Underwriter shall fail to take up and pay for the
amount of the Certificates agreed by such Underwriter to be purchased under this
Agreement, upon tender of such Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof,
and the amount of the Certificates not purchased does not aggregate more than
10% of the total amount of the Certificates set forth in Schedule II hereof
(based on aggregate purchase price), then the remaining Underwriter shall be
obligated to take up and pay for the Certificates that the withdrawing or
defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) If any Underwriter shall fail to take up and pay for the
amount of the Certificates agreed by such Underwriter to be purchased under this
Agreement (such Underwriter being a "Defaulting Underwriter"), upon tender of
such Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof, and the amount of the
Certificates not purchased aggregates more than 10% of the total amount of the
Certificates set forth in Schedule II hereto (based on aggregate purchase
price), and arrangements satisfactory to the remaining Underwriter and the
Company for the purchase of such Certificates by other persons are not made
within 36 hours thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate. In the event of any
such termination, the Company shall not be under any liability to any
Underwriter (except to the extent provided in Section 5(g), Section 8 and
Section 9 hereof), nor shall the non-Defaulting Underwriter be under any
liability to the Company (except to the extent provided in Sections 8 and 9
hereof). Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Defaulting Underwriter
from any liability it may have to the Company or the other Underwriter by reason
of its failure to take up and pay for Certificates as agreed by such Defaulting
Underwriter.
22
13. NOTICES. Any notice by the Company to any Underwriter shall be
sufficient if given in writing or by telegraph addressed to the address for such
Underwriter set forth on Schedule II hereto (or, in the case of any Underwriter,
to such other address as such Underwriter shall designate in writing to the
Company in accordance with this Section 13) and any notice by any Underwriter to
the Company shall be sufficient if given in writing or by telegraph addressed to
the Company at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx (or to such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to
the Underwriters in accordance with this Section 13).
14. BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Underwriters, the Company and their respective successors. This Agreement and
the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons,
except that the indemnity agreement of the Underwriters contained in Section 8
hereof and the contribution agreement of the Underwriters contained in Section 9
hereof shall each be deemed to be also for the benefit of directors of the
Company, officers of the Company who have signed the Registration Statement and
any person controlling the Company; and the indemnity agreement of the Company
contained in Section 8 hereof and the contribution agreement of the Company
contained in Section 9 hereof shall each be deemed to be also for the benefit of
any person controlling an Underwriter. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or
shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in
this Section 14, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.
15. BUSINESS DAY. For purposes of this Agreement, "business day"
means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
16. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, applicable to
contracts negotiated, made and to be performed entirely in said State.
17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed
counterparts shall together constitute a single instrument.
18. WAIVERS, MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS. Neither this Agreement
nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought.
23
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our
agreement, please sign and return to the undersigned a counterpart hereof,
whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, and your acceptance
shall represent a binding agreement between the Company, the Underwriters and
the Mortgage Loan Sellers signing this Agreement for purposes of Section 4(k),
5(g) and 7.
Very truly yours,
