Only the Underwritten Certificates are being purchased by the Underwriters named in Schedule A hereto, and the Underwriters are purchasing, severally, only the Underwritten Certificates set forth opposite their names in Schedule A, except that the amounts purchased by the Underwriters may change in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement.

 

The Certificates will be issued under a pooling and servicing agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of January 1, 2007 among the Depositor as depositor, Option One Mortgage Corporation, as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as the Trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”).

First and second deeds of trust or mortgages on one- to four-family residential properties secure the Mortgage Loans. A form of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

 

The Certificates are more fully described in a Registration Statement which the Depositor has furnished to the Underwriters.

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:

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 such final prospectus dated April 3, 2006 and “Prospectus Supplement” means the final prospectus supplement dated January 16, 2007 relating to the Underwritten Certificates, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to paragraphs (2), (3) or (5) of Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations. “Prospectus” means the Base Prospectus together with the Prospectus Supplement. The Depositor further proposes to prepare, after the final terms of all classes of the Underwritten Certificates are established, a Free Writing Prospectus that contains substantially all information that will appear in the Prospectus Supplement, to the extent that such information is known at that time (such Free Writing Prospectus, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Preliminary 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 Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) after the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as applicable, and incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as applicable, 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.

(iv)    To file promptly with the Commission any amendment to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any supplement to the Prospectus that may, in the judgment of the Depositor or the Underwriters, be required by the Securities Act or requested by the Commission.

The Depositor will file or cause the filing of such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Underwritten Certificates have been so qualified; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general or unlimited service of process in any jurisdiction where it is now so subject.

 

(vii)    Unless the Underwriters shall otherwise have given their written consent, no collateralized mortgage obligations or other similar securities representing interests in or secured by other mortgage-related assets originated or owned by the Originator or the Seller shall be publicly offered or sold, nor shall the Originator or the Seller enter into any contractual arrangements that contemplate the public offering or sale of such securities, until the earlier to occur of the termination of the syndicate or the Closing Date.

(xi)    The Depositor shall not be required to file (A) any Free Writing Prospectus, if the information included therein is included or incorporated by reference in a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission that relates to the offering of the Certificates, or (B) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof that contains a description of the Certificates or the offering of the Certificates which does not reflect the final terms thereof (so long as such information does not contain any Issuer Information).
