opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, special counsel to the Company with
respect to the following items, dated the Closing Date, to the effect
that:
1. The Company has been duly organized and is validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the
State of Nevada, and is qualified to do business in each state
necessary to enable it to perform its obligations as Sponsor under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company has the requisite
power and authority to execute and deliver, engage in the
transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the conditions
of, this Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Indemnification
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.
2. This Agreement, the Certificates, the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Indemnification
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement have been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, all requisite
corporate action having been taken with respect thereto, and each
(other than the Certificates) constitutes the valid, legal and
binding agreement of the Company.

Trust Estate, the issuance or sale of the Certificates nor the
execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the

interest of the Company in the Note and Mortgage, as noteholder and
mortgagee or assignee thereof, subject to any exceptions set forth
in such opinion,

present or future creditors of the Company and to prevent any other
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance of the
Mortgage Loans by the Company from being enforceable.

registration or filing with, or notice to, courts, governmental
agency or body or other tribunal is required under the laws of the
State of New York, for the execution, delivery and performance of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the Insurance
Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or
the offer, issuance, sale or delivery of the Offered Certificates or
the consummation of any other transaction contemplated thereby by
the Company, except such which have been obtained.
6. There are no actions, proceedings or investigations,
to such counsel's knowledge, pending or threatened against the
Company before any court, governmental agency or body or other
tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement,
this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Certificates, (ii)
seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, or this
Agreement, (iii) which would materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Company of obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Insurance Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, the
Certificates, the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement or (iv) that
would adversely affect the status of the Trust Estate as a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" ("REMIC") as such term is
defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
7. To the best of the knowledge of such counsel, the
Commission has not issued any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any order directed to
any prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates (including the
Prospectus), and has not initiated or threatened any proceeding for
that purpose.
8. The Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other
than the financial and statistical data included therein, as to
which such counsel need express no opinion), including the
incorporated documents, as of the date on which the Registration
Statement was declared effective and as of the date hereof, comply
as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such
counsel does not know of any amendment to the Registration Statement
required to be filed, or of any contracts, indentures or
-12-
14
other documents of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement or required to be described in the
Registration Statement which has not been filed or described as
required.
9. Neither the qualification of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended nor the registration of the Trust created by such Pooling
and Servicing Agreement under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended is presently required.
10. The statements in the Prospectus set forth under the
captions "DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES," "THE AGREEMENTS" and the
statements in the Prospectus Supplement set forth under the caption
"DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES," to the extent such statements
purport to summarize certain provisions of the Offered Certificates
or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are fair and accurate in
all material respects.
11. The statements in the Prospectus and Prospectus
Supplement set forth under the captions "ERISA CONSIDERATIONS,"
"MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES," and the statements in
the Prospectus set forth under the caption "LEGAL ASPECTS OF
MORTGAGE LOANS," to the extent that they constitute matters of
federal, New York or California law, or federal, New York or
California legal conclusions provide a fair and accurate summary of
such law or conclusions.
12. Assuming that (a) the Trustee causes the Trust
created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to elect, as the
Trustee has covenanted to do in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
to be treated as a REMIC and (b) the parties to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement comply with the terms thereof, the Trust will be
treated as a REMIC, the Offered Certificates and the Class B
Certificates issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
will be treated as the "regular interests" in a REMIC and the Class
R-I Certificates and the Class R-II Certificates issued pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be treated as "residual
interests" in a REMIC. The Trust will not be subject to tax upon its
income or assets by any taxing authority of the State of New York or
New York City or of the State of California (except that no opinion
need be expressed with respect to any minimum tax).
13. Such opinion shall also relate to comparable matters
with respect to the Originators and Advanta Mortgage Holding
Company.
14. No information has come to such counsel's attention
which causes them to believe that the Prospectus (other than the
financial statement and other financial and statistical data
contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no
opinion), as of the date thereof, contained any untrue statement of
a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements
-13-
15
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
15. Such other matters as the Representative may
reasonably request.
In rendering its opinions, the counsel described above may rely, as
to matters of fact, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, the
Trustee and public officials. Such opinions may also assume the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the instruments and documents referred
to therein by the parties thereto other than the Company.
e. The Representative shall have received letters, including
bring-down letters, from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, dated on or before the
Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative and
counsel for the Underwriters, to the effect that they have performed
certain specified procedures requested by the Representative with respect
to the information set forth in the Prospectus and certain matters
relating to the Company.
f. The Offered Certificates shall have received the ratings
listed on Schedule A hereto, and such ratings shall not have been
rescinded or downgraded as of the Closing Date. The Representative and
counsel for the Underwriters shall have received copies of any opinions of
counsel supplied to the rating organizations relating to any matters with
respect to the Offered Certificates. Any such opinions shall be dated the
Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters or accompanied by reliance
letters to the Underwriters or shall state that the Underwriters may rely
upon them.
g. The Representative shall have received from the Company a
certificate, signed by the president, a senior vice president or a vice
president of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the
signer of such certificate has carefully examined the Registration
Statement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement and
that, to the best of his or her knowledge based upon reasonable
investigation:
1. the representations and warranties of the Company in
this Agreement, as of the Closing Date, and in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Indemnification
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and in all related agreements, as

the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all
the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior
to the Closing Date;
2. except as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no
actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the best of such
officer's knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Company
which if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate,
would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company's
obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance
-14-
16
Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, this Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement in any material way; and no merger, liquidation,
dissolution or bankruptcy of the Company is pending or contemplated;
3. the information contained in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus relating to the Company, the Mortgage
Loans or the servicing procedures of it or its affiliates or
subservicer is true and accurate in all material respects and
nothing has come to his or her attention that would lead such
officer to believe that the Registration Statement or Prospectus
includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading;
4. the information set forth in the Schedule of Mortgage
Loans required to be furnished pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is true and correct in all material respects;
5. there has been no amendment or other document filed
affecting the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company
since December 31, 1999, and no such amendment has been authorized.
No event has occurred since March 31, 2000, which has affected the
good standing of the Company under the laws of the State of Nevada;
6. there has not occurred any material adverse change
or, except as set forth in the Prospectus, any development involving
a prospective material adverse change, in the condition, financial
or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from March 31, 2000;
7. on or prior to the Closing Date, there has been no
downgrading, nor has any notice been given of (A) any intended or
potential downgrading or (B) any review or possible changes in
rating the direction of which has not been indicated, if any,
accorded the Company or in any rating accorded any securities of the
Company, if any, by any "nationally recognized statistical rating
organization," as such term is defined for purposes of the
Securities Act; and
8. each person who, as an officer or representative of
the Company, signed or signs the Registration Statement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the
Indemnification Agreement, this Agreement, or any other document
delivered pursuant hereto, on the date of such execution, or on the
Closing Date, as the case may be, in connection with the
transactions described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Insurance Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, the Purchase
Agreement and this Agreement was, at the respective times of such
signing and delivery, and is now, duly elected or appointed,
qualified and acting as such officer or representative,
-15-
17
and the signatures of such persons appearing on such documents are
their genuine signatures.
The Company shall attach to such certificate a true and correct copy
of its certificate or articles of incorporation, as appropriate, and bylaws
which are in full force and effect on the date of such certificate and a
certified true copy of the resolutions of its Board of Directors with respect to
the transactions contemplated herein.
h. The Representative shall have received a favorable opinion
of counsel to the Trustee, dated the Closing Date and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Representative, to the effect that:
1. the Trustee is a national banking association duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the United States and has the power and authority to enter into and
to take all actions required of it under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement;
2. the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be
limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, as such laws would apply in the event of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization or similar occurrence affecting the
Trustee, and (B) general principles of equity regardless of whether
such enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity;
3. no consent, approval, authorization or other action
by any governmental agency or body or other tribunal is required on
the part of the Trustee in connection with its execution and
delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the performance
of its obligations thereunder;
4. the Offered Certificates have been duly executed,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee; and
5. the execution and delivery of, and performance by the
Trustee of its obligations under, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement do not conflict with or result in a violation of any
statute or regulation applicable to the Trustee, or the charter or
bylaws of the Trustee, or to the best knowledge of such counsel, any
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Trustee or the
terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the
Trustee is a party or by which it is bound.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters of
fact, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, the Trustee and
public officials. Such
-16-
18
opinion may also assume the due authorization, execution and
delivery of the instruments and documents referred to therein by the
parties thereto other than the Trustee.
i. The Representative shall have received from the Trustee a
certificate, signed by the President, a senior vice president or a vice
president of the Trustee, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that each
person who, as an officer or representative of the Trustee, signed or
signs the Offered Certificates, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any
other document delivered pursuant hereto, on the date hereof or on the
Closing Date, in connection with the transactions described in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement was, at the respective times of such signing and
delivery, and is now, duly elected or appointed, qualified and acting as
such officer or representative, and the signatures of such persons
appearing on such documents are their genuine signatures.
j. The Policy relating to the Offered Certificates shall have
been duly executed and issued at or prior to the Closing Date and shall
conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the
Prospectus.
k. The Representative shall have received a favorable opinion
of in-house counsel to the Insurer, dated the Closing Date and in form and
substance satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters, to the effect
that:
1. The Insurer is a stock insurance company duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of
Wisconsin and duly qualified to conduct an insurance business in the
State of California and the State of New York. The Insurer is
validly licensed and authorized to issue the Policy and perform its
obligations under the Policy in accordance with the terms thereof
under the laws of the State of California, State of New York and the
State of Wisconsin.
2. The Insurer has full corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver the Policy and the Policy has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Insurer and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Insurer enforceable in
accordance with its terms except to the extent that the
enforceability (but not the validity) of such obligation may be
limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
rehabilitation or other similar law or enactment now or hereafter
enacted affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by
general principles of equity.
3. The execution and delivery by the Insurer of the
Policy, the Insurance Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement
will not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby and the satisfaction of the terms thereof will not, conflict
with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the
Insurer, or any restriction contained in any contract, agreement or
instrument to which the Insurer is a party or by which it is bound
or constitute a default under any of the foregoing.
-17-
19
4. Proceedings legally required for the issuance of the
Policy, and the execution, delivery and performance of the Insurance
Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement have been taken by the
Insurer and licenses, orders, consents or other authorizations or
approvals of any governmental boards or bodies legally required for
the enforceability of the Policy have been obtained; any proceedings
not taken and any licenses, authorizations or approvals not obtained
are not material to the enforceability of the Policy, the Insurance
Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement.
5. The Policy is exempt from registration under the
Securities Act.
6. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending
against or affecting the Insurer in any court, or before or by any
governmental body, which is likely to affect or impair the validity
or enforceability of the Policy, the Insurance Agreement or the
Indemnification Agreement.
7. The statements contained in the Prospectus under the
heading "THE CERTIFICATE INSURER" and "THE CERTIFICATE INSURANCE
POLICY", insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the
matters referred to therein, accurately reflect and fairly present
the information purported to be shown and, insofar as such
statements describe the Insurer, fairly and accurately describe the
Insurer, other than any financial or statistical information
contained or incorporated by reference therein, as to which no
opinion is expressed.
8. The Insurer is authorized to deliver the Insurance
Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement, and each of the
Insurance Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement has been duly
executed and is the valid and binding obligation of the Insurer
enforceable in accordance with its terms except to the extent that
the enforceability (but not the validity) of such obligation may be
limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
rehabilitation or other similar law or enactment now or hereafter
enacted affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by
general principles of equity and subject to principles of public
policy limiting the right to enforce the indemnification provisions
contained therein insofar as such provisions relate to
indemnification for liabilities arising under the securities laws.
In rendering this opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters of
fact, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, the Trustee, the
Insurer and public officials. Such opinion may assume the due authorization,
execution and delivery of the instruments and documents referred to therein by
the parties thereto other than the Insurer.
The Insurer shall attach to such opinion a true and correct copy of
its certificate or articles of incorporation, as appropriate, and its bylaws,
all of which are in full force and effect on the date of such certificate.

m. On or prior to the Closing Date, there has been no
downgrading, nor has any notice been given of (A) any intended or

not occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective
change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings,
business or operations, since March 31, 2000, of (A) the Company and its
subsidiaries or (B) the Insurer, that is in the Representative's judgment
material and adverse and that makes it in the Representative's judgment
impracticable to market the Offered Certificates on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
o. [Reserved].
p. The Representative shall have received from ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, special counsel to the Company, a survey in form and

Underwriters may rely thereon.

Mortgage Holding Company, the indirect corporate parent of the Company

(iv) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general
economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of
international conditions on the financial markets of the United States
shall be such) as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative,
impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or delivery
of the Offered Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated in
the Prospectus.
x. The Offered Certificates shall have received the ratings
set forth on Schedule A hereto.
If any condition specified in this Section 6 shall not have been

a. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all loss,
claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof
(including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action
relating to purchases and sales of the Offered Certificates), to which such
Underwriter or any such controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement,
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
(iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Prospectus or (iv) the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and shall reimburse such Underwriter and each such
controlling person promptly upon demand
-21-
23
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such
controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to
defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Collateral Terms Sheet,
Structural Term Sheet, Computational Materials, the Prospectus or the
Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information (including any Derived Information) furnished to the Company through
the Representative specifically for inclusion therein; and provided, further,
that as to any Collateral Term Sheet, Structural Term Sheet or Computational
Materials this indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter or
any controlling person on account of any loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arising from the sale of the Offered Certificates to any person by such
Underwriter if such Underwriter failed to send or give a copy of the Prospectus,
as amended or supplemented, to that person within the time required by the
Securities Act, and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in
the Collateral Term Sheet, Structural Term Sheet or Computational Materials was
corrected in the Prospectus, unless such failure resulted from non-compliance by
the Company with Section 5(c). For purposes of the last proviso to the
immediately preceding sentence, the term "Prospectus" shall not be deemed to
include the documents incorporated therein by reference, and none of the
Underwriters shall be obligated to send or give any supplement or amendment to
any document incorporated therein by reference to any person other than a person
to whom such Underwriter had delivered such incorporated document or documents
in response to a written request therefor. The foregoing indemnity agreement is
in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any
Underwriters or any controlling person of such Underwriter.
b. Each Underwriter agrees severally, and not jointly to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and
all loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, to which
the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Prospectus or (iv) the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent
that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for
inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the Company and any such director,
officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or any director, officer or controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any
such loss, claim, damage, liability
-22-
24
or action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in
addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have to the
Company or any such director, officer or controlling person.
c. Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that
the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure, and provided, further, that the
failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified
party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it
wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its
election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party
shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available
to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is
advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the
indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such
indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which
firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters, if the indemnified
parties under this Section 8 consist of the Underwriters or any of their
controlling persons, or by the Company, if the indemnified parties under this
Section 8 consist of the Company or any of the Company's directors, officers or
controlling persons.
-23-
25
Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements
contained in Section 8(a) and (b), shall use its best efforts to cooperate with
the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an
indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30
days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii)
such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
d. Each Underwriter agrees to deliver to the Company no later than
the date on which the Prospectus Supplement is required to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 with a copy of its Derived Information (defined below) for filing with
the Commission on Form 8-K.
e. Each Underwriter agrees, assuming all Company-Provided
Information (defined below) is accurate and complete in all material respects,
to severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of
the Company's officers and directors and each person who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Derived
Information provided by such Underwriter, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to
reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by him, her or it in connection with investigating or defending or
preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred. The obligations of each of the Underwriters under this
Section 8(e) shall be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may
otherwise have.
The procedures set forth in Section 8(c) shall be equally applicable
to this Section 8(e).
f. For purposes of this Section 8, the term "Derived Information"
means such portion, if any, of the information delivered to the Company pursuant
to Section 8(d) for filing with the Commission on Form 8-K as:
(i) is not contained in the Prospectus without
taking into account information incorporated
therein by reference;
-24-
26
(ii) does not constitute Company-Provided
Information; and
(iii) is of the type of information defined as
Collateral Term Sheets, Structural Term Sheets or
Computational Materials (as such terms are
interpreted in the No-Action Letters).
"Company-Provided Information" means any computer tape furnished to
the Underwriters by the Company concerning the Mortgage Loans comprising all or
a portion of the Trust Estate.
The terms "Collateral Term Sheet" and "Structural Term Sheet" shall
have the respective meanings assigned to them in the February 13, 1995 letter
(the "PSA Letter") of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on behalf of the Public
Securities Association (which letter, and the SEC staff's response thereto, were
publicly available February 17, 1995). The term "Collateral Term Sheet" as used
herein includes any subsequent Collateral Term Sheet that reflects a substantive
change in the information presented. The term "Computational Materials" has the
meaning assigned to it in the May 17, 1994 letter (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇ letter" and
together with the PSA Letter, the "No-Action Letters") of Brown & ▇▇▇▇ on behalf
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., Inc. (which letter, and the SEC staff's response
thereto, were publicly available May 20, 1994).
g. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for
any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party under Section 8(a) or (b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or
liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in
such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from
the offering of the Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party
failed to give the notice required under Section 8(c), in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which
resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits of the Underwriters and the Company shall be
deemed to be in such proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering
(before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions.
The relative fault of the Underwriters and the Company shall be
determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Company or by one of the Underwriters, the intent
of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and other equitable
considerations.
-25-
27
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(g) were to be determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or
liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8(g)
shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(g), any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim.
h. For purposes of this Section 8, in no case shall any Underwriter
be responsible for any amount in excess of (x) the amount received by such
Underwriter in connection with its resale of the Offered Certificates over (y)
the amount paid by such Underwriter to the Company for the Offered Certificates
purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.
g. The Underwriters severally confirm that the information set forth
(i) in the Prospectus Supplement relating to market making and (ii) in the third
paragraph under the caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus Supplement,
together with the Derived Information, is correct and constitutes the only
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the
Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus.
Section 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Company 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 Company and shall survive delivery of
any Offered Certificates to the Underwriters.
Section 10. Termination of Agreement. The Representative may
terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time at
or prior to the Closing Date if any of the events or conditions described in
Section 6(w) of this Agreement shall occur and be continuing. In the event of
any such termination, the covenant set forth in Section 5(g), the provisions of
Section 7, the indemnity agreement set forth in Section 8, and the provisions of
Sections 8 and 9 shall remain in effect.
Section 11. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and
agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

the Company, and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and
provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that
the 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 the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, and for the benefit of directors of the Company, officers of the
Company who have signed the Registration Statement and any person controlling
the Company 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 12, any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained
herein.
Section 13. Default by One of the Underwriters. If one of the
Underwriters shall fail on the Closing Date to purchase the Offered Certificates
which it is obligated to purchase hereunder (the "Defaulted Certificates"), the
remaining Underwriters (the "Non-Defaulting Underwriter"), shall have the right,
but not the obligation within one (1) Business Day thereafter, to make
arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted
Certificates upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Non-Defaulting
Underwriter shall not have completed such arrangements within such one (1)
Business Day period, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on
the part of the Non-Defaulting Underwriter.
No action taken pursuant to this Section 13 shall relieve the
defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.
In the event of any such default which does not result in a
termination of this Agreement, either the Non-Defaulting Underwriter or the
Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not
exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.
Section 14. Survival. The respective indemnities, representations,
warranties and agreements of the Company 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 Certificates 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 15. Definition of the Term "Business Day". For purposes
of this Agreement, "Business Day" means any day on which the New York Stock

REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW, SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW
YORK CITY TIME.
Section 17. 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.
Section 18. Headings. The headings herein are inserted for
convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to
affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.
Section 19. Representations of Underwriters. The Representative will
act for the several Underwriters in connection with the transactions
