Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto and any information incorporated therein by reference, as amended on the date hereof is hereinafter called the "Registration Statement"; such prospectus, in the form in which it will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, is hereinafter called the "Base Prospectus"; such supplement to the Base Prospectus, in the form in which it will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 of the Act, is hereinafter called the "Prospectus Supplement"; and the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement together are hereinafter called the "Prospectus". The Company shall make a good faith and reasonable effort to file the Prospectus within the time required under Rule 424 of the Act and, in the event that the Company fails to timely file the Prospectus, the Company shall file the Prospectus as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company will not, without your prior consent, file any other amendment to the Registration Statement or make any change in the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement until after the period during which a prospectus is required to be delivered to purchasers of the Offered Certificates under the Act (the "Prospectus Delivery Period").

(t) The Company possesses all material licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct business now operated by it, and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company.

(i) The Underwriters shall have received from KPMG LLP, certified public accountants, a letter dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters stating in effect that using the assumptions and methodology used by the Company, all of which shall be described in such letter, they have recalculated such numbers and percentages set forth in the Preliminary FWP, the First Bloomberg, the Second Bloomberg] and the Prospectus as the Underwriters may reasonably request and as are agreed to by KPMG LLP, compared the results of their calculations to the corresponding items in the Preliminary FWP, the First Bloomberg, the Second Bloomberg and the Prospectus, and found each such number and percentage set forth in the Preliminary FWP, the First Bloomberg, the Second Bloomberg and the Prospectus to be in agreement with the results of such calculations. (j) The Underwriters shall have received from counsel for each Mortgage Loan Seller a favorable opinion, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters. (k) All proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all documents incident hereto and thereto, shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, and the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters shall have received such additional information, opinions, certificates and documents as they may reasonably request. (l) Subsequent to the date hereof, there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business or properties of the Depositor or a Mortgage Loan Seller (including any of the Mortgage Loans) which such Underwriter concludes, in the reasonable judgment of such Underwriter, materially impairs the investment quality of the Certificates so as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Certificates as contemplated by the Time of Sale Information (excluding the Corrective Information) and the Prospectus. (m) At the Closing Date, the respective classes of Offered Certificates shall continue to have maintained ratings no lower than those set forth in Schedule I hereto by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations identified in Schedule I hereto (individually and collectively, the "Rating Agency"). If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided by this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled on, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Underwriters. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing, by telephone or by either telegraph or telecopier confirmed in writing. 7. [Reserved]. 8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its officers and directors, and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") against: (i) any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which any such indemnified party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Diskette (as defined below) or any revision or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in (x) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in Section 9(e)(i) below) or (y) any "issuer information" (as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Act) ("Issuer Information") contained in (1) the Time of Sale Information, (2) any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in Section 9(b) below) prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter, or (3) any other Free Writing Prospectus that is required to be filed pursuant to Section 9(e)(iii), Section 9(e)(iv) or Section 9(h) hereof (clauses (x) and (y) collectively, the "Issuer Disclosure Materials"), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (when read in connection with the other initial Time of Sale Information or the other revised Time of Sale Information in connection with a Subsequent Time of Sale), in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue statement or omission referred to above in this clause (ii) was not corrected by information subsequently supplied by the Company to such Underwriter a reasonable period of time prior to the sale to the applicable investor of the Offered Certificates (including without limitation a contract of sale) or (iii) any untrue statement or omission of a material fact made as a result of an error in the manipulation of, or in any calculations based upon, or in any aggregation of the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related mortgagors and/or the related Mortgaged Properties set forth in the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus Supplement, including the Master Tape, or Annex A thereto. The Company shall reimburse any such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with (A) the Underwriter Supplied Information (as defined in Section 8(b) below), (B) information regarding any Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loans sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Company, the related Mortgaged Properties or the Class AMP-E Certificates to the extent such information is covered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller in the indemnification agreement entered into between such Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and the Underwriters (the information in clause (B) referred to herein as the "Mortgage Loan Seller Information"), (C) information regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in the Loan Detail (as defined below) or, to the extent consistent therewith, the Diskette or (D) information regarding the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the extent such information is covered by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee in the indemnification agreement entered into between such party, the Depositor and the Underwriters (such information, the "Transaction Party Information") and (ii) such indemnity with respect to an untrue statement or omission of a material fact made in any Issuer Disclosure Materials that are part of the initial Time of Sale Information, shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter or any officer or director of any Underwriter) asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability based on a claim by a purchaser of the Offered Certificates, which are the subject thereof, if and to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability results from such person not receiving a copy of any subsequent Issuer Disclosure Materials correcting such untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in any subsequent Issuer Disclosure Materials that are part of the Time of Sale Information so long as the Company delivered the corrected information to such Underwriter a reasonable time prior to the Time of Sale. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. "Loan Detail" shall mean the information set forth in Annexes A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 to the Prospectus Supplement. "Diskette" shall mean the information set forth on the diskette attached to the Prospectus; (ii) any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense 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, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company or as otherwise contemplated by Section 8(a) hereof; (iii) any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such Underwriter), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing 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 such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, the indemnity provided by this Section 8(a) shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and (iv) any breach of the representation and warranty in Section 1(u). (b) Each Underwriter will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to (A) the Underwriter Supplied Information provided by or relating to such Underwriter, which was not corrected by a subsequent Underwriter Supplied Information supplied to the Company by such Underwriter prior to the sale to the applicable investor of Offered Certificates (including without limitation a contract of sale), or (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Free Writing Prospectus described in Sections 9(g) and 9(h) or omission or alleged omission to state in any such 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which was not corrected by a subsequent Free Writing Prospectus supplied to the Company by such Underwriter prior to the sale to the applicable investor of Offered Certificates (including without limitation a contract of sale); provided, that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless to the extent such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission contained in or made in reliance on and in conformity with the Mortgage Loan Sellers' Information or the Transaction Party Information or (B) any errors in the mathematical calculations reflected in such Free Writing Prospectus to the extent such errors arise out of or are based upon errors in such Mortgage Loan Sellers' Information or the Transaction Party Information; provided, further, that no Underwriter shall be liable for any losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities arising out of or based upon any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission (including those of a quantitative nature) that arise out of or are based upon an error or omission in any Issuer Information supplied by the Company to the Underwriter, which error or omission in such Issuer Information was not corrected by information subsequently supplied by the Company to such Underwriter a reasonable period of time prior to the sale to the applicable investor of Offered Certificates (including without limitation a contract of sale). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the second to last paragraph of the cover page and in the seventh paragraph under the heading "Method of Distribution" in the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity (other than any Free Writing Prospectus furnished to the Company by any Underwriter) (the "Underwriter Supplied Information"). Any Free Writing Prospectus furnished to the Company by a particular Underwriter shall relate exclusively to and be the several responsibility of such Underwriter, as applicable, and no other. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8, except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. Upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (which may be counsel representing the indemnifying party); provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel), approved by the Underwriters in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 8 or the Company in the case of paragraph (b) of this Section 8, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party, but only to the extent provided herein, from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or, if such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such indemnified party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, without the consent of the indemnified party. (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is applicable in accordance with its terms, but is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under such paragraph (a) or (b) above, then in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities referred to in such paragraph (a) or (b) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other from the offering of the Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and any Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Offered Certificates under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts received by such Underwriter. The relative fault of the parties 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 on the one hand, or such Underwriter on the other, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection (d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the preceding sentence of this paragraph (d). Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph (d), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts, commissions and other fees received by such Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates exceeds the amount of damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective amount of Offered Certificates they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. 9. Offering Communications; Free Writing Prospectuses. (a) Unless preceded or accompanied by a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Act, no Underwriter shall convey or deliver any written communication to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Certificates, unless such written communication (i) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Act, (ii) is made in reliance on Rule 172 under the Act, (iii) constitutes a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Rule 430B under the Act or (iv) constitutes a "free writing prospectus," as defined in Rule 405 under the Act (a "Free Writing Prospectus"). Without limitation thereby, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent may be withheld for any reason), no Underwriter shall prepare, convey or deliver in connection with the initial offering of the Certificates any Free Writing Prospectus or "ABS informational and computational material," as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Act ("ABS Informational and Computational Material" and together with any Free Writing Prospectus "Disclosure Information"), in reliance upon Rules 167 and 426 under the Act other than materials provided to it by the Company, including Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, each Underwriter may use an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus that does not include Issuer Information without obtaining the prior written consent of the Company. (b) Each Underwriter shall deliver to the Company: (i) any Free Writing Prospectus that was prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter or any affiliate thereof (each, an "Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus") that contains any Issuer Information by no later than two (2) business days prior to the date of first use thereof or such later date as may be agreed to by the Company; and (ii) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that contains only a description of the final terms of the Offered Certificates by no later than the later of (A) the date such final terms have been established for all classes of the Offered Certificates or (B) the date of first use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Free Writing Prospectus that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Materials may be delivered by an Underwriter to the Company not later than the later of (A) two business days prior to the due date for filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act or (B) the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus. (c) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that the Free Writing Prospectuses to be furnished to the Company by such Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof will constitute all Free Writing Prospectuses of the type described therein that were furnished to prospective investors by such Underwriter in connection with its offer and sale of the Certificates. (d) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that each Free Writing Prospectus (other than an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) required to be provided by it to the Company pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, when used in conjunction with any information delivered prior to the Time of Sale, did not, as of the date such Free Writing Prospectus was conveyed or delivered to any prospective investor, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and that each such Free Writing Prospectus complied with Rules 164, 167, 426 and 433, as applicable, under the Act; provided, however, that no Underwriter makes any representation or warranty to the extent such misstatements or omissions are based upon or arise out of an untrue statement or omission in the Issuer Information supplied by the Company to such Underwriter, the Mortgage Loan Seller Information or the Transaction Party Information, which information was not corrected by information subsequently supplied by the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or the related Transaction Party to such Underwriter prior to the sale to such investor of the Offered Certificates (including without limitation, by means of a contract of sale). (e) The Company agrees to file with the Commission the following: (i) Any Free Writing Prospectus that constitutes an "issuer free writing prospectus," as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Act (each, an "Issuer Free Writing Prospectus"); (ii) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof delivered by an Underwriter to the Company pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof (but not any subsequent Free Writing Prospectus containing only information prepared by or on behalf of an Underwriter on the basis of or derived from Issuer Information previously filed); (iii) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof that contains a description of the final terms of the Offered Certificates, after such terms have been established for all classes in the offering; and (iv) Any Free Writing Prospectus for which the Company 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 Company 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 9(e) hereof by the Company 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 a description of the final terms of the Offered Certificates may be filed by the Company within two (2) 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 may be filed by the Company with the Commission not later than the later of the due date for filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act or two (2) business days after the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus; and (iii) any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 9(e)(iv) hereof may, if no payment has been made or consideration has been given by or on behalf of the Company for the Free Writing Prospectus or its dissemination, be filed by the Company with the Commission not later than four (4) business days after the Company becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of such Free Writing Prospectus. (g) Each Underwriter (with the reasonable cooperation of the Company) shall file with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectus (other than a Free Writing Prospectus required to be delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 9(b)) that is neither an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus nor contains Issuer Information and that is used or referred to by such Underwriter or 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. (h) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(g) hereof, each Underwriter (with the reasonable cooperation of the Company, including, without limitation, providing any "CIK" and "CCC" information) shall file with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectus for which such 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 Company 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 Company or any other offering participant, not later than four (4) business days after such Underwriter becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of such Free Writing Prospectus. (i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9(e) (other than 9(e)(iii)) and 9(g) hereof, neither the Company nor any Underwriter shall be required to file (A) Issuer Information contained in any Free Writing Prospectus of an Underwriter or any offering participant other than the Company, if such information is included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission that relates to the offering of the Certificates, (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 or (C) 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 Company and the Underwriters each agree that any Free Writing Prospectuses prepared by each such party shall contain the following legend: "The depositor filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC File No. 333-132106) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in the registration statement and other documents the depositor has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more complete information about the depositor, the issuing entity and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the Securities and Exchange Commission web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the depositor, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus after filing if you request it by calling toll free 1.800.745.2063. (k) The Company and the Underwriters each agree to retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that they have used and that are not required to be filed pursuant to this Section 9 for a period of three (3) years following the initial bona fide offering of the Certificates. (l) In the event that the Company becomes aware, at any time between the Time of Sale or any Subsequent Time of Sale and the Closing Date, that 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 other applicable 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 (except for any Underwriter that informed the Issuer of such untrue statement or omission) 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, at any time between the Time of Sale or any Subsequent Time of Sale and the Closing Date, any Underwriter becomes aware that any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered thereby to an investor in any Offered Certificates 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 applicable 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 (unless the Company was the party that informed such Underwriter of such untrue statement or omission) and: (i) The Underwriters shall, if requested by the Company: (A) 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"), provided, that if an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus and Issuer Free Writing Prospectus are both determined to be a Defective Free Writing Prospectus as a result of the same untrue statement or omission in each such document, then the Issuer shall prepare a single Corrected Free Writing Prospectus correcting both such Defective Free Writing Prospectuses; (B) Either (i) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor that received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus from such Underwriter prior to entering into a contract of sale with such investor, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information, or (ii) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor which received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus from such Underwriter and has entered into a contract of sale, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information, and (x) notify in writing 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 (C) 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 the Commission's Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591. (m) In the event that a Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the defective information was not Underwriter Supplied Information, Mortgage Loan Seller Information or Transaction Party Information 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. Each Underwriter covenants with the Company that, upon reasonable request, it will make available to the Company such personnel as are familiar with the Underwriter's compliance procedures for the purpose of answering questions concerning the Underwriter's practices and procedures for the preparation and dissemination of written materials concerning the Offered Certificates to prospective investors prior to the delivery of the final Prospectus to such investors. (n) Each Underwriter covenants with the Company that after the final Prospectus is available the Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Certificates to a prospective investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the final Prospectus. (o) Each Underwriter further represents and warrants that it has offered and sold Offered Certificates only to, or directed at, persons who (i) are outside the United Kingdom; (ii) have professional experience in participating in unregulated collective investment schemes; or (iii) are persons falling within Article 22(2)(a) through (d) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes) (Exemptions) Order 2001.10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for all Offered Certificates if prior to such time (i) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities, or (ii) there shall have occurred any material outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable to market the Offered Certificates. 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive.
