c/o [________]
[________]
[________]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
[________], a [________] corporation (the "Depositor"), proposes to

The Offered Certificates, together with the [________], Classes
X-1, A-1A, E, F,
G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, and NR (the "Private Certificates") are

community
properties, as described in the Prospectus referred to below (the
"Mortgage
Loans"), and certain moneys received under each Mortgage Loan after

20[__] or, (ii)
with respect to those Mortgage Loans with their first payment date
in [______]
or [______] 20[__], the later of [________], 20[__] or the
origination date of
the Mortgage Loan. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the
provisions of
a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of [________],
20[__] (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Depositor,
[________], as a master
servicer (a "Master Servicer"), [________] as special servicer (the
"Special
Servicer") and [________] as trustee (the "Trustee").
The
Depositor hereby confirms its agreement with the several
Underwriters
concerning the purchase and sale of the Offered Certificates, as
follows:
1.
Registration Statement. The Depositor has prepared and filed with
the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in accordance
with the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and
regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the
"Securities Act"), a
registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-[______]), including a
prospectus,
relating to the Offered Certificates. The registration statement as
amended at
the time when it became effective, or, if a post-effective
amendment is filed
with respect thereto, as amended by such post-effective amendment
at the time of
its effectiveness, is referred to in this Agreement as the
"Registration
Statement". The Depositor also has filed with, or proposes to file
with, the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a
prospectus supplement
specifically relating to the Offered Certificates (the "Prospectus
Supplement").
The related prospectus covering the Offered Certificates in the
form first
required to be filed to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule
172(c) under the
Securities Act is hereinafter referred to as the "Basic
Prospectus", and the
Basic Prospectus as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement in
the form first
required to be filed to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule
172(c) under the
Securities Act is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus". Any
reference in
this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any preliminary
prospectus (a
"Preliminary Prospectus") used in connection with the offering of
the Offered
Certificates or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and
include any
exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference
therein pursuant to
Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective
date of the
Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus
or the
Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to "amend,"
"amendment" or
"supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and
include any
documents filed as of the Closing Date (as defined below) under the
Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of
the
Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Exchange Act") that are
deemed to be
incorporated by reference therein.
At or
prior to the time when sales to investors of the Offered
Certificates were first made (the "Time of Sale"), the Depositor
had prepared
the following information (collectively, the "Time of Sale
Information"): a Free
Writing Prospectus dated [________], 20[__] (the "Preliminary Free
Writing
Prospectus"), a Term Sheet dated as of [________], 20[__] (the
"Term Sheet"),
and each "free-writing prospectus" (as defined pursuant to Rule 405
under the
Securities Act) (a "Free Writing Prospectus") listed on Exhibit 1
hereto. If,
subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Depositor and the
Underwriters
have determined that such information included an untrue statement
of material
fact or omitted 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 and have terminated their old purchase
contracts and
entered into new purchase contracts with purchasers of the Offered
Certificates,
then "Time of Sale Information" will refer to the information
available to
purchasers at the time of entry into the first such new purchase
contract,
including any information that corrects such material misstatements
or omissions
("Corrective Information").
When used
in this Agreement, "Basic Documents" shall mean (i) the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Certificates, (iii) the mortgage
loan purchase
agreement, dated as of [________], 20[__], between [________]
("[____]") and the
Depositor (the "[____] Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), (iv) the
mortgage
loan purchase agreement, dated as of [________], 20[__], between
[________]
("[____]") and the Depositor (the "[____] Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement", and
together with the [________] Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
collectively, the
"Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements") and (v) any other contract,
agreement or
instrument which is or is to be entered into by the Depositor on
the Closing
Date or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing or this
Agreement.
[____], and [____] are collectively referred to herein as the
"Sellers". To the
extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings
assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Additionally,
neither the Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising
the Depositor

other time

charge,
(i) to the Representative, one signed copy of the Registration

each case including all exhibits and consents filed therewith and
(B) during the
Prospectus Delivery Period, as many copies of the Prospectus
(including all
amendments and supplements thereto) and each Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus as
the Representative may reasonably request. As used herein, the term
"Prospectus
Delivery Period" means such period of time after the first date of
the public
offering of the Offered Certificates as in the opinion of counsel
for the
Underwriters a prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates is
required by
law to be delivered (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172
under the
Securities Act) in connection with sales of the Offered
Certificates by any
Underwriter or dealer.
(c) Amendments or Supplements. Before preparing, using,
authorizing,
approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, and before
filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or
the
Prospectus, the Depositor will furnish to the Representative and
counsel for the
Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus,
amendment or
supplement for review and will not prepare, use, authorize,
approve, refer to or
file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such
proposed amendment

Representative promptly, and confirm such advice in writing, (i)
when any
amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes
effective;
(ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any amendment to the
Prospectus
has been filed; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any
amendment to the
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus or the
receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the
Registration
Statement or any other request by the Commission for any additional
information;
(iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the
effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use
of any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or the initiation or
threatening of any
proceeding for that purpose; (v) of the occurrence of any event
within the
Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the Prospectus as
then amended
or supplemented would include 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 existing when the Prospectus is
delivered to a
purchaser, not misleading; and (vi) of the receipt by the Depositor
of any
notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the
Offered

will use its
reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order
suspending the

suspending the use of
any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any
such

obtain as soon as
possible the withdrawal thereof.
(e) Ongoing Compliance of the Prospectus. If, during the
Prospectus
Delivery Period: (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist
as a result
of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would
include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the
light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is
delivered to a
purchaser, not misleading; or (ii) it is necessary to amend or
supplement the
Prospectus to comply with law, the Depositor will immediately
notify the
Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to
paragraph (c) above,
file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to
such dealers as
the Representative may designate, such amendments or supplements to
the
Prospectus as may be necessary so that the statements in the
Prospectus as so
amended or supplemented will not, in light of the circumstances
existing when
the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so
that the
Prospectus will comply with law.
(f) Blue Sky Compliance. The Depositor will qualify the Offered
Certificates for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky
laws of such
jurisdictions as the Representative shall reasonably request and
will continue
such qualifications in effect so long as may be required for
distribution of the
Offered Certificates; provided that the Depositor shall not be
required to (i)
qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in
securities in
any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
so qualify;
(ii) file any general consent to service of process in such
jurisdiction; or
(iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is
not so
subject.
(g) Earning Statement. The Depositor will make generally
available
to its security holders and the Representative as soon as
practicable an earning
statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the

the Basic
Documents; and (iii) copies of all reports or other communications

governmental or regulatory authority or any national securities
exchange.
(i) Use of Proceeds. The Depositor will apply the net proceeds
from
the sale of the Offered Certificates as described in the
Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
(j) Rating Agencies. To the extent, if any, that the ratings
provided with respect to the Offered Certificates by the Rating
Agencies (as
defined in Section 6(p)) are conditional upon the furnishing of
documents or the
taking of any other action by the Depositor, the Depositor shall
use its best
efforts to furnish such documents and take any other such
action.
(k) Exchange Act Filings. The Depositor will file or cause to
be
filed all documents and certifications required to be filed by the
Commission
pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by
the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

reasonable
procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer
Free Writing
