Section 1. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Underwriters that as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(a) A Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-130961), including a prospectus and a form of prospectus supplement that contemplates the offering of mortgage backed notes, has (i) been prepared by the Depositor in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder, (ii) been filed with the Commission under the Securities Act and (iii) become effective and is still effective as of the date hereof under the Securities Act. Copies of such Registration Statement have been delivered by the Depositor to the Underwriters. As used in this Agreement, “Effective Time” means the date and the time as of which such Registration Statement, or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto, if any, was declared effective by the Commission; “Effective Date” means the date of the Effective Time; “Registration Statement” means such registration statement, at the Effective Time, including any documents incorporated by reference therein at such time; “Base Prospectus” means a final prospectus dated April 26, 2006; “Prospectus Supplement” means a final prospectus supplement dated April 27, 2006 relating to the Notes; “Pricing Free Writing Prospectus” means a free writing prospectus, dated April 26, 2006, relating to the Notes to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 of the 1933 Act. The Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Notes in the form to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 are hereinafter together called the “Final Prospectus.” Each of the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus is referred to herein as a “Prospectus.” Reference made herein to the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act as of the date of the Prospectus and any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) after the date of the Prospectus and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and any reference to any amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to include any report of the Depositor filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the Effective Time that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. The Commission has not issued any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and no proceedings for such purpose are pending or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission. There are no contracts or documents of the Depositor that are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations which have not been so filed or incorporated by reference therein on or prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement other than such documents or materials, if any, as any Underwriter delivers to the Depositor as Derived Information for filing on Form 8-K. The conditions for use of Form S-3, as set forth in the General Instructions thereto, have been satisfied with respect to the Depositor and the Registration Statement.

(b) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus conform, and any further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus will conform when they become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations. The Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date thereof and of any amendment thereto, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus as of its date, and as amended or supplemented as of the Closing Date, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that no representation or warranty is made as to (i) information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Depositor in writing by any Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood that such information is limited to the information set forth in the last two paragraphs of the front cover page of the Final Prospectus and in the first paragraph after the tables under the heading “Underwriting” in the Final Prospectus (the “Underwriters’ Information”) or (ii) any computer tape furnished to the Underwriters by the Seller or its affiliate concerning the assets comprising the Trust Estate (the “Aames Collateral Information”) or any Derived Information (other than the Aames Collateral Information), in each case to the extent not included in the Prospectus other than by incorporation by reference.

(d) The Depositor has been duly formed and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing in states and jurisdictions where the character of its assets or the nature of its activities make such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the Depositor. The Depositor has all power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties, to conduct the business in which it is engaged and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture (the “Agreements”) and to cause the Notes to be issued.

(e) Except as disclosed in the Pricing Free Writing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, there are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending with respect to which the Depositor has received service of process or, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened by or before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal to which the Depositor is a party or of which any of its properties is the subject (i) which if determined adversely to the Depositor would have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Depositor, (ii) asserting the invalidity of any of the Agreements or the Notes, (iii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation by the Depositor of any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Agreements or (iv) which might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, any of the Agreements or the Notes.

(g) The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Depositor and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the issuance and delivery of the Notes, 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, by which the Depositor is bound or to which any of the properties or assets of the Depositor or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which conflict, breach, violation or default would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the Depositor or its ability to perform its obligations under any of the Agreements, nor will such actions result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation 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 violation would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the Depositor or its ability to perform its obligations under any of the Agreements.

(h) The direction by the Depositor to the Trust Administrator to execute, authenticate, issue and deliver the Notes has been or will have been duly authorized by the Depositor and, assuming the Trust Administrator has been duly authorized to undertake such actions, when executed, authenticated, issued and delivered by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, the Notes will be validly issued and outstanding and the holders of the Notes will be entitled to the rights and benefits of the Notes as provided by the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.

(j) Immediately prior to the transfer of the Mortgage Loans contemplated by the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will: (i) have equitable title to the interest in the Mortgage Loans conveyed by the Seller, free and clear of any lien, mortgage, pledge, charge, encumbrance, adverse claim or other security interest (collectively, “Liens”) that will not be released simultaneously with such transfer; (ii) not have assigned to any person (other than the Indenture Trustee) any of its right, title or interest in the Mortgage Loans; and (iii) have the power and authority under all governmental and regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over the ownership of the Mortgage Loans to sell its interest in the Mortgage Loans to the Indenture Trustee and to sell the Notes to the Underwriters.

Section 8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, each of its directors and each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in (i) Derived Information provided by such Underwriter (except to the extent resulting from a Pool Error) and (ii) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, but with respect to clause (a)(ii) above, only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Underwriters’ Information; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor and each of its directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

(b) Promptly after receipt by the Depositor under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Depositor will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Underwriter under this Section 8, notify the Underwriters of the claim or commencement of the action; but the omission so to notify the Underwriters will not relieve any Underwriter from any liability that it may have to the Depositor otherwise than under this Agreement. In case any such claim or action is brought against the Depositor, and the Depositor notifies the Underwriters, the Underwriters will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish to do so, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor (who shall not, except with the consent of the Depositor, be counsel to the Underwriters).

The Depositor 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 the Depositor unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Underwriters in writing; (ii) the Depositor 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 Underwriter, and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Depositor to employ separate counsel; (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the Depositor) between the Depositor and the Underwriter; or (iv) the Underwriters has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, in which case, if the Depositor notifies the Underwriters in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Underwriters, the Underwriters shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Depositor.

No Underwriter 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 relevant Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor from and against any loss or liability (to the extent set forth in Section 8(a)) by reason of such settlement or judgment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if at any time the Depositor shall have requested reimbursement for fees and expenses of counsel, the relevant Underwriter 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 the Depositor of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Underwriter shall not have reimbursed the Depositor in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then each Underwriter shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Depositor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by 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 Depositor and the Underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a)(i) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified party under Section 8(a)(i), then each Underwriter shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section (a)(i) in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above in this subsection (c) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (c). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (c), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts, commissions or other fees received by the Underwriter exceed the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (c) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

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 Notes to the Underwriters.

Section 10. No Fiduciary Duty; Entire Agreement. The Depositor acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Notes: (a) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Depositor or any other person, (b) the Underwriters owe the Depositor only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and (c) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Depositor. The Depositor waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Notes.

This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Notes, represents the entire agreement between the Depositor and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of the Prospectus and the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Notes.

Section 11. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters participating in the public offering of the Notes shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Notes which it is (or they are) obligated to purchase hereunder (the “Defaulted Notes”), 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 Notes in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth. If, however, the non-defaulting Underwriters have not completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then

(i) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Notes does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes 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 Notes exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate, without any liability on the part of the Depositor or any non-defaulting Underwriters.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 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 11, each of the non-defaulting 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 12. 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 the events set forth in Section 6(h) of this Agreement shall occur and be continuing, or if any other closing condition set forth in Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when required to be fulfilled. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 7, the indemnity and contribution agreement set forth in Section 8, and the provisions of Sections 9, 15 and 17 shall remain in effect.

Section 13. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

Section 14. Persons Entitled to the Benefit of this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Depositor, and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements contained in this Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of the person or persons, if any, who control any of the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and for the benefit of each Underwriter’s respective officers and directors and for the benefit of directors of the Depositor, officers of the Depositor who have signed the Registration Statement and any person controlling the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act. 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.

Section 15. Survival. The respective indemnities, representations, warranties and agreements of the Depositor and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement, or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Notes and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them.

Section 16. Definition of the Term “Business Day.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading.

Section 17. Governing Law: Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

The parties hereto hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any court in the State of New York located in the City and County of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it or in connection with this Agreement or any of the related documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the parties hereto hereby agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard or determined in New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court.

The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all rights to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed counterparts shall each be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

A legend in substantially the following form must appear on each Free Writing Prospectus:

The issuer has filed a registration statement (including a base prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this free writing prospectus relates. Before you invest in this offering, you should read the base prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting ▇▇▇▇▇ on the SEC Web site at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇ <▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/>. Alternatively, RBS Greenwich Capital will arrange to send you the base prospectus at no charge if you request it by calling ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ or emailing ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

The following additional legends must appear on the Preliminary Term Sheet (including each version thereof), any amendment thereof or supplement thereto:

This free writing prospectus is being delivered to you solely to provide you with information about the offering and to solicit an offer to purchase the offered securities. Any such offer to purchase made by you will not be accepted and will not constitute a contractual commitment by you to purchase any of the securities until we have accepted your offer to purchase such securities. Any such commitment shall be subject to the conditions specified below.

This free writing prospectus is not required to contain all of the information that is required to be included in the base prospectus and the prospectus supplement. The information in this free writing prospectus is preliminary and is subject to completion or change. The information in this free writing prospectus, if conveyed prior to the time of your commitment to purchase the offered securities, supersedes any prior version of this free writing prospectus and any information contained in any prior similar free writing prospectus relating to these securities. If a preliminary prospectus is conveyed to you prior to your commitment to purchase, that document supersedes all other information provided to you concerning the offered securities.

This free writing prospectus is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities in any state where such offer, solicitation or sale is not permitted.

The securities referred to in this free writing prospectus are being offered when, as and if issued. The issuer is not obligated to issue any such securities or any similar securities, and all or a portion of the securities may not be issued that have the characteristics described herein. The underwriter’s obligation to deliver such securities is subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement with the issuer and the availability of the securities having the characteristics described herein. If, for any reason, the issuer does not deliver such securities, the underwriter will notify you, and neither the issuer nor any underwriter will have any obligation to you to deliver all or any portion of the securities which you have committed to purchase, and there will be no liability between us as a consequence of the non-delivery.

Any legends, disclaimers or other notices that may appear below or on any electronic communication to which this free writing prospectus is attached relating to (1) these materials not constituting an offer (or a solicitation of an offer), (2) no representation that these materials are accurate or complete and may not be updated or (3) these materials possibly being confidential are not applicable to this communication and should be disregarded. Such legends, disclaimers or other notices have been automatically generated as a result of this communication having been sent via Bloomberg or another system.

The following additional legends must appear on any final term sheet (including each version thereof), any amendment thereof or supplement thereto:

This free writing prospectus is not required to contain all information that is required to be included in the base prospectus and the prospectus supplement.

The information in this free writing prospectus, if conveyed prior to the time of your commitment to purchase, supersedes similar information contained in any prior free writing prospectus relating to these securities.

The following additional legends must appear on each Free Writing Prospectus that includes Derived Information:

For asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities: Certain of the information contained herein may be based on numerous assumptions (including preliminary assumptions about the pool assets and structure), which may not be specifically identified as assumptions in the information. Any such information or assumptions are subject to change. The information in this free writing prospectus may reflect assumptions specifically requested by you. If so, prior to the time of your commitment to purchase, you should request updated information based on any assumptions specifically required by you.

EXHIBIT B-2

The following additional legends may appear on the Preliminary Term Sheet (including each version thereof), any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and any final term sheet:

This free writing prospectus is not required to contain all of the information that is required to be included in the base prospectus and the prospectus supplement. The information in this free writing prospectus is preliminary and is subject to completion or change. The information in this free writing prospectus, if conveyed prior to the time of your commitment to purchase the offered securities, supercedes any prior version of this free writing prospectus and any information contained in any prior similar free writing prospectus relating to these securities. If a preliminary prospectus is conveyed to you prior to your commitment to purchase, that document supersedes all other information provided to you concerning the offered securities.

This free writing prospectus is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities in any state where such offer, solicitation or sale is not permitted.

Please click here for a copy of the base prospectus applicable to this offering. [insert link direct to base as posted on a website, or link to an embedded pdf copy of the base prospectus]

The following additional legend, or a similar legend to the following effect, may appear on any Free Writing Prospectus disseminated prior to the time of contract of sale, if reflective of the understanding between the Underwriter and the investor:

The asset-backed securities referred to in these materials are being offered when, as and if issued. In particular, asset-backed securities and the asset pools backing them are subject to modification or revision (including, among other things, the possibility that one or more classes of securities may be split, combined or eliminated) at any time prior to issuance. As a result, you may commit to purchase securities with characteristics that may change materially, and all or a portion of the securities may not be issued with material characteristics described in these materials. Our obligation to sell securities to you is conditioned on those securities having the material characteristics described in these materials. If that condition is not satisfied, we will notify you, and neither the issuer nor any underwriter will have any obligation to you to deliver all or any portion of the securities you committed to purchase, and there will be no liability between us as a consequence of the non-delivery. However, unless the class of securities you committed to purchase has been eliminated, we will provide you with revised offering materials and offer you an opportunity to purchase that class, as described in the revised offering materials. To indicate your interest in purchasing the class you must affirmatively communicate to us your desire to do so within _____ days after receipt of the revised offering materials, but in no event later than the business day before the date the securities are issued.

The following additional legend may appear on any Free Writing Prospectus disseminated prior to time of contract of sale:

This free writing prospectus is being delivered to you solely to provide you with information about the offering of the asset-backed securities referred to in this free writing prospectus and to solicit an indication of your interest in purchasing such securities, when, as and if issued. Any such indication of interest will not constitute a contractual commitment by you to purchase any of the securities. You may withdraw your indication of interest at any time.

The following additional legend may appear on any Free Writing Prospectus that includes Derived Information:

The information in this free writing prospectus may reflect parameters, metrics or scenarios specifically requested by you. If so, prior to the time of your commitment to purchase, you should request updated information based on any parameters, metrics or scenarios specifically required by you in order to make your investment decision.

EXHIBIT B-3

No legend to the following effect, whether or not expressed in different language, may be included in any Free Writing Prospectus:

Any statement that the free writing prospectus will be superseded by the final prospectus.

Any disclaimer of responsibility or liability for, or any disclaimer of the accuracy or completeness of, the content of the free writing prospectus that would not be appropriate for a prospectus or registration statement. [For example, a disclaimer by any party of the accuracy of information for which that party has statutory liability would not be appropriate. However, factual statements regarding the role of any party in preparing, providing, approving or verifying any information may be made.]

Any statement requiring investors to read, or acknowledge they have read, any disclaimers or legends, the base prospectus or the registration statement.

Language stating that the free writing prospectus is not a prospectus or an offer to sell (other than such a statement as to jurisdictions in which such offer or sale is not permitted).

Any statement that the free writing prospectus is privileged or confidential, or that its use is otherwise restricted.

Any statement that the free writing prospectus does not contain all material information, or that it will be supplemented by the final prospectus.

Any statement that the free writing prospectus is subject to change without notice.

Any statement that the investment decision should be based on, or may only be made based on, the final prospectus or any other information that is delivered only after the time of the contract for sale of the securities.
