misleading, and (iii) the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of
any such time, does not include and will not include any untrue
statement of a material fact and does not omit and will not omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,

Prospectus Supplement is first filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
1933 Act, as of the date on which, prior to the Closing Date, any
amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, as of the

Loan Purchase Agreement that purport to provide indemnification from
securities law liabilities.
(vi) As of the Closing Date, the Underwritten Certificates,
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase

(vii) The Company is not in violation of its certificate of

or instrument the effect of which violation or default would be
material to the Company or which violation or default would have a
material adverse affect on the performance of its
-4-
obligations under this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements. Neither the issuance and sale
of the Underwritten Certificates, nor the execution and delivery by the
Company of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, nor the consummation by the Company
of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor
compliance by the Company with the provisions hereof or thereof, did,
does or will conflict with or result in a breach of any term or
provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company
or conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or
constitute a default under, the terms of any indenture or other
agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it
or any material asset is bound, or any statute, order or regulation
applicable to the Company of any court, regulatory body, administrative
agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.
(viii) There is no action, suit or proceeding against the
Company pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened,
before any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other tribunal

Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements or the
Underwritten Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the
Underwritten Certificates or the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (iii) that might materially
and adversely affect the performance by the Company of its obligations

or the Underwritten Certificates or (iv) seeking to affect adversely
the federal income tax attributes of the Underwritten Certificates as
described in the Prospectus.
(ix) There are no contracts, indentures or other documents of
a character required by the 1933 Act or by the rules and regulations
thereunder to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement which have not been so described or referred to therein or so
filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto.
(x) No authorization, approval or consent of any court or
governmental authority or agency is necessary in connection with the
offering or sale of the Underwritten Certificates pursuant to this
Agreement, except such as have been, or as of the Closing Date will
have been, obtained or such as may otherwise be required under
applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and
offer and sale of the Underwritten Certificates by the Underwriters and
any recordation of the respective assignments of the Mortgage Loans to
the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that have
not been completed.
(xi) The Company possesses all material licenses,
certificates, authorities or permits issued by the appropriate state,
federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct
the business now operated by it, and the
-5-
Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, authority
or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of any
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.
(xii) Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
delivery and sale of the Underwritten Certificates (other than such
federal, state and local taxes as may be payable on the income or gain
recognized therefrom) have been or will be paid at or prior to the
Closing Date.
(xiii) Neither the Company nor the Trust Fund is, and neither
the sale of the Underwritten Certificates in the manner contemplated by
the Prospectus nor the activities of the Trust Fund pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement will cause the Company or the Trust
Fund to be, an "investment company" or under the control of an
"investment company" as such terms are defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").
(xiv) Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
and for federal income tax purposes, the Company reported the transfer
of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee in exchange for the Underwritten
Certificates and will report the sale of the Underwritten Certificates
to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement as a sale of the
interests in the Mortgage Loans evidenced by the Underwritten
Certificates. The consideration received by the Company upon the sale
of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters will constitute
reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Underwritten
Certificates. The Company will be solvent at all relevant times prior
to, and will not be rendered insolvent by, the sale of the Underwritten
Certificates to the Underwriters. In addition, the Company was solvent
at all relevant times prior to, and was not rendered insolvent by, the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
Fund. The Company is not selling the Underwritten Certificates to the
Underwriters and did not transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust Fund with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any of the creditors of the Company.
(xv) At the Closing Date, the respective classes of
Underwritten Certificates shall continue to have maintained ratings no
lower than those set forth in Schedule I hereto by the nationally

hereto (individually and collectively, the "Rating Agency").

Underwriter, that:
(i) MLMLI has been duly incorporated and is validly existing
as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and
-6-
possesses all requisite authority, power, licenses, permits and
franchises to carry on its business as currently conducted by it and to
execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under the terms of
this Agreement.
(ii) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by MLMLI and, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery hereof by the Company and the Underwriters,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of MLMLI, enforceable
against MLMLI in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in
general, as they may be applied in the context of the insolvency of a
national banking association, and by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law), and by public policy considerations underlying
the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy
considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of this
Agreement which purport to provide indemnification from liabilities
under applicable securities laws.
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by MLMLI
and MLMLI's performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement
will not (A) violate the articles of incorporation or bylaws of MLMLI,
(B) violate any law or regulation or any administrative decree or order
to which it is subject or (C) constitute a default (or an event which,
with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default)
under, or result in the breach of, any contract, agreement or other
instrument to which MLMLI is a party or by which MLMLI is bound.
(iv) MLMLI is not in default with respect to any order or
decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal,
state, municipal or other governmental agency or body, which default
might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the
condition (financial or other) or operations of MLMLI or its properties
or have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its
performance hereunder.
(v) MLMLI is not a party to or bound by any agreement or
instrument or subject to any articles of incorporation, bylaws or any
other corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction,
decree, law or regulation that would materially and adversely affect
the ability of MLMLI to perform its obligations under this Agreement or
that requires the consent of any third person to the execution of this
Agreement or the performance by MLMLI of its obligations under this
Agreement (except to the extent such consent has been obtained).
(vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court
or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery
and performance by MLMLI of or compliance by MLMLI with this Agreement
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
except as have previously been obtained.
-7-
(vii) No litigation is pending or, to the best of MLMLI
knowledge, threatened against MLMLI that would prohibit its entering
into this Agreement or materially and adversely affect the performance
by MLMLI of its obligations under this Agreement.
(viii) Each representation and warranty of the Company set
forth in Section 1(a) hereof is true and correct as of the date hereof
or as of the date specified in such representation and warranty.

Section 352-e of the General Business Law of the State of New York with respect
to the Underwritten Certificates.
(b) Each Underwriter may prepare and provide to prospective investors
certain Computational Materials, ABS Term Sheets, Structural Term Sheets or
Collateral Term Sheets in connection with its offering of the Certificates,
subject to the following conditions:
(i) Such Underwriter shall comply with the requirements of the
no-action letter, dated May 20, 1994, issued by the Commission to
▇▇▇▇▇▇, Peabody Acceptance Corporation I, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co.
Incorporated and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Structured Asset Corporation, as made
applicable to other issuers and underwriters by the Commission in
response to the request of the Public Securities Association, dated May
25, 1994 (collectively, the "▇▇▇▇▇▇/PSA Letter"), and the requirements
of the no-action letter, dated February 17, 1995, issued by the
Commission to the Public Securities Association (the "PSA Letter" and,
together with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇/PSA Letter, the "No-Action Letters").
(ii) For purposes hereof, "Computational Materials" shall have
the meaning given such term in the No-Action Letters, but shall include
only (x) the Computational Materials attached hereto as Exhibit A and
(y) such other Computational Materials that have been prepared or
delivered to prospective investors by or at the direction of such
Underwriter. For purposes hereof, "ABS Term Sheets," "Structural Term
Sheets" and "Collateral Term Sheets" shall have the meanings given such
terms in the PSA Letter but shall include only (x) the
-9-
Term Sheets attached hereto as Exhibit B and (y) those other ABS Term
Sheets, Structural Term Sheets or Collateral Term Sheets that have been
prepared for or delivered to prospective investors by or at the
direction of such Underwriter. As used herein, "Term Sheets" means any
ABS Term Sheets, Structural Term Sheets and/or Collateral Term Sheets.
(iii) All Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets provided
to prospective investors shall bear a legend in a form previously
approved by the Company or its counsel.
(iv) Such Underwriter shall not distribute any such
Computational Materials or Term Sheets unless the forms and methodology
thereof are in accordance with this Agreement. Such Underwriter shall
provide to the Company, for filing on Form 8-K as provided in Section
5(g), copies (in such format as required by the Company) of all
Computational Materials and Term Sheets. The Underwriter may provide
copies of the foregoing in a consolidated or aggregated form including
all information required to be filed. All Computational Materials and
Term Sheets described in this subsection (iv) must be provided to the
Company (a) in paper or electronic format suitable for filing with the

Computational Materials and Term Sheets may include information based
on alternative methodologies or assumptions if specified therein. If
any Computational Materials or Term Sheets were based on assumptions
with respect to the Mortgage Pool that differ from the final Pool
Information in any material respect or on Underwritten Certificate
structuring assumptions (except in the case of Computational Materials
when the different structuring terms were hypothesized and so
described) that were revised in any material respect prior to the
printing of the Prospectus, then to the extent that it has not already
done so, such Underwriter shall immediately inform the Company and,
upon the direction of the Company, and if not corrected by the
Prospectus, shall prepare revised Computational Materials and Term
Sheets, as the case may be, based on the final collateral information
and structuring assumptions, circulate such revised Computational

pursuant to subsection (iv) above.
(vi) If, within the period during which the Prospectus
relating to the Underwritten Certificates is required to be delivered
under the 1933 Act, any Computational Materials or Term Sheets are
determined, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or such
Underwriter, to contain a material error or,
-10-
when read together with the Prospectus, a material omission, then
(unless the material error or omission was corrected in the Prospectus)
the Underwriter shall prepare a corrected version of such Computational
Materials or Term Sheets, shall circulate such corrected Computational
Materials or Term Sheets to all recipients of the prior versions
thereof, and shall deliver copies of such corrected Computational
Materials or Term Sheets (marked, "as corrected") to the Company for
filing with the Commission in a subsequent Form 8-K submission (subject
to the Company's obtaining an accountant's comfort letter in respect of
such corrected Computational Materials and Term Sheets, which shall be
at the expense of such Underwriter).
(vii) Such Underwriter shall be deemed to have represented, as
of the Closing Date, that except for Computational Materials and/or
Term Sheets provided to the Company pursuant to subsection (iv) above,
such Underwriter did not provide any prospective investors with any
information in written or electronic form in connection with the
offering of the Underwritten Certificates that is required to be filed
with the Commission in accordance with the No-Action Letters.
(viii) In the event of any delay in the delivery by such
Underwriter to the Company of all Computational Materials and Term
Sheets required to be delivered in accordance with subsection (iv)
above, the Company shall have the right to delay the release of the
Prospectus to investors or to the Underwriter, to delay the Closing
Date and to take other appropriate actions in each case as necessary in
order to allow the Company to comply with its agreement set forth in
Section 5(g) to file the Computational Materials and Term Sheets by the
time specified therein.
(ix) Computational Materials and Term Sheets may be
distributed by the Underwriter through electronic means in accordance
with SEC Release No. 33-7233 or other applicable laws or regulations.
(c) Each Underwriter further agrees that it shall promptly provide the
Company with such information as to matters of fact as the Company may
reasonably request to enable it to comply with its reporting requirements with
respect to each class of Underwritten Certificates to the extent such
information can in the good faith judgment of the Underwriter be reasonably
determined by it.
5. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees with the
Underwriters that:
(a) The Company will not file any amendment to the Registration
Statement (other than by reason of Rule 429 under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) or any
supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to or affecting the Underwritten
Certificates, unless the Company has furnished a copy to you for your review
prior to filing, and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to
which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will
cause the Prospectus Supplement to be transmitted to the Commission for filing
pursuant to
-11-
Rule 424 under the 1933 Act or will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be filed
with the Commission pursuant to said Rule 424. The Company promptly will advise
you or counsel for the Underwriters (i) when the Prospectus Supplement shall
have been filed or transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule
424, (ii) when any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have become
effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission to amend the Registration
Statement or supplement the Prospectus Supplement or for any additional
information in respect of the offering contemplated hereby, (iv) of the issuance
by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto which shall have
become effective on or prior to the Closing Date or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (v) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of the Underwritten Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution
or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose. The Company will use its best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or suspension and, if
issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Underwritten

of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all losses,
liabilities, claims and damages as incurred arising out of any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission
of a material fact contained in any Term Sheets or Computational Materials
which, when read together with any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the
Prospectus Supplement, was required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading; provided, that no such material
misstatement or omission arises from an error or omission in information
relating to the underlying data regarding the Mortgage Loans or the related
Mortgagors or Mortgaged Properties provided by the Company or any Mortgage Loan
Seller to such Underwriter; and provided, further, that any such Term Sheets or
Computational Materials were prepared by such Underwriter and distributed by
such Underwriter.
It is hereby acknowledged that (i) the statements set forth in the first,
second, third and fifth sentences of the last paragraph on the cover of the
Prospectus Supplement, (ii) the statements in the second paragraph, the third
paragraph and the first sentence of the seventh paragraph under the heading
"Method of Distribution" in the Prospectus Supplement and (iii) the statements
in any Computational Materials and Term Sheets delivered by the Underwriters to
the Company for filing with the Commission pursuant to this Agreement and the
No-Action Letters, constitute the only written information furnished to the
Company by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or
any amendment thereto) or in the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement
thereto).
(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 this indemnity agreement. 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 (or, in the event the Company is the indemnifying party, one counsel
for each Underwriter) (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its or
their own counsel for 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
-23-
allegations or circumstances. Unless it shall assume the defense of any
proceeding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If an indemnifying party
assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such
proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement
provides for release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters
relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party
in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, without the consent
of the indemnified party.
(d) 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
the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Underwritten Certificates.
(e) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, will indemnify and
hold harmless any other Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such
Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
(collectively, the "Non-Indemnifying Underwriter") from and against any and all
loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred that arise
out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement of material fact contained in
any Computational Materials or Term Sheets (other than the Computational
Materials and Term Sheets attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B) prepared
by such indemnifying Underwriter or any member of its selling group, in
connection with the Underwritten Certificates or in any revision or amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or (ii) the failure of such indemnifying
Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of
Section 4(b) hereof, and agrees to reimburse each such Non-Indemnifying
Underwriter, as incurred for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense; provided, that the indemnity provided by this Section
8(e) shall not apply to the extent that such indemnifying Underwriter is
entitled under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to seek indemnity for such
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense from a Mortgage Loan Seller affiliated
with the Underwriter seeking indemnification. This indemnity agreement will be
in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.
9. CONTRIBUTION.
(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 8 hereof
is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although
applicable in accordance with its terms, or if such indemnification provided for
in Section 8 hereof is insufficient in respect of any losses, liabilities,
claims or damages referred to therein, the Company and MLMLI, jointly and
severally, and the Underwriters, severally, shall contribute to the aggregate
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by
said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and the Underwriters, as
incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Underwriter on
-24-
the other from the offering of the Underwritten Certificates 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 Company on
the one hand and of 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 fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the
other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information 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;
provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and
provided, further, that in no event shall any Underwriter be obligated to
contribute more than its share of the underwriting discounts and commissions
pertaining to the Underwritten Certificates less any damages otherwise paid by
such Underwriter with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense.
It is hereby acknowledged that the respective Underwriters' obligations under
this Section 9 shall be several and not joint. For purposes of this Section,
each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section
15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and such Underwriter's
directors, 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.
(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the considerations referred to in
subsection (a) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, liabilities, claims or damages referred to in Section 8 or
this Section 9 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. The
remedies provided for in Section 8 and this Section 9 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.
(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 the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Underwritten Certificates.
-25-
10. DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER. If any one or more Underwriters shall
fail to purchase and pay for any of the Underwritten Certificates agreed to be
purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to
purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their
obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated
severally (in the respective proportions which the portion of the Underwritten
Certificates set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the
aggregate amount of Underwritten Certificates set forth opposite the names of
all the remaining Underwriters) to purchase the Underwritten Certificates that
the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase;
provided, however, that in the event that the amount of Underwritten
Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed
to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten
Certificates set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall
have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to
purchase any, of the Underwritten Certificates, and if such nondefaulting
Underwriters do not purchase all of the Underwritten Certificates, this
Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or
the Company, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12. In the event of a
default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date for
the Underwritten Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding
ten business days, as you shall determine in order that the required changes in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement or in any other
documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the
Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default
hereunder.
11. 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, and shall survive delivery of the
Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters.
12. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL.
(a) The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the
Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date (i) if there has occurred,
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 or of any
Mortgage Loan Seller, 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 any Underwriter, impracticable or inadvisable to market
the Underwritten Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the
Underwritten Certificates, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company
or of any Mortgage Loan Seller has been suspended or limited by the Commission,
the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, or if trading
generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or on
the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum
prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have
-26-
been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the
Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other
governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in securities
settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to
Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has
been declared by either federal or New York authorities
(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except
as provided in Section 11 or Section 12 (c).
(c) The provisions of Section 5(e) regarding the payment of costs and
expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the
termination of this Agreement, whether such termination is pursuant to this
Section 12 or otherwise.
13. NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by
any standard form of telecommunication. Notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇

to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters, the Company and
MLMLI and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers

from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such
purchase.
15. APPLICABLE LAW; COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement will be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be performed entirely in said State. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes
