Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. Introductory. Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities
Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the "Depositor"), proposes to form one or
more real estate
mortgage investment conduits (the "Trust"), which will issue
certain securities
entitled Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp.
Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-C3 and including
the classes
thereof specified on Schedule I hereto (the classes of such
securities so
specified on Schedule I hereto, the "Certificates"). Each
Certificate will
evidence a fractional undivided, percentage interest or
beneficial interest in
the Trust. The terms on which the Trust will issue the
Certificates will be
specified in the Prospectus (as defined herein). The property of
the Trust will
consist of a pool of 238 fixed rate mortgage loans, secured by
multifamily and
commercial properties (collectively, the "Mortgage Loans") that
will be
purchased by the Depositor from Column Financial, Inc. (the
"Column Mortgage
Loan Seller") and KeyBank National Association (the "KeyBank
Mortgage Loan
Seller" and together with the Column Mortgage Loan Seller, the
"Mortgage Loan
Sellers"), pursuant to those certain Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements, each
dated as of June 1, 2007 (the "Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements"), and will be
serviced by KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets, as master
servicer (the "Master
Servicer No. 1"), Wachovia Bank, National Association (the
"Master Servicer No.
2" and together with the Master Servicer No. 1, the "Master
Servicers"), and if
and when necessary LNR Partners, Inc. as special servicer (the
"Special
Servicer"), pursuant to that certain Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), to be dated as of June 1,
2007, by and among
the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicer and
Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), and certain related property
to be conveyed to
the Trust by the Depositor (the "Trust Fund"). The Mortgage
Loans will be
transferred to the Trust, and the Certificates will be issued
pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The offering of the Certificates made pursuant to the
Registration
Statement (as defined below) will be made through you as
underwriters. This
Agreement provides for the sale of such Certificates to, and the
purchase and
offering thereof by, you, as underwriters (the "Underwriters"
and, individually,
an "Underwriter"). Schedule I shall specify the principal or
notional balance of
each Class of the Certificates to be issued and any terms
thereof not otherwise
specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Classes of
Certificates
subject to this Agreement, the price at which such Certificates
are to be
purchased by the Underwriters from the Depositor, the aggregate
amount of
Certificates to be purchased by you and the initial public
offering price or the
method by which the price at which such Certificates are to be
sold will be
determined. The offering of the Certificates will be governed by
this Agreement.
At or prior to the time when sales to purchasers of the
Certificates were
first made, which was approximately 1:00 p.m. on June 19, 2007
(the "Time of
Sale"), the Depositor had prepared the following information
(collectively, the
"Rule 159 Information"): the Depositor's Free Writing Prospectus
dated June 8,
2007 (the cover page of which is attached hereto as Annex A) (as
modified on
June 19, 2007 by the Update to Free Writing Prospectus dated
June 19, 2007) to
the Depositor's Prospectus dated April 10, 2007, the term sheet
dated June 8,
2007, relating to the Certificates, and each "free-writing
prospectus" (as
defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) (a "Free
Writing Prospectus")
the first page of each of which is attached as Annex B hereto.
If, subsequent to
the date of this Agreement, the Depositor and the Underwriters
determine 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
terminate their old purchase contracts and enter into new
purchase contracts
with investors in the Certificates, then "Rule 159 Information"
will refer to
the information conveyed 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") and "Time
of Sale" will
refer to the time and date on which such new purchase contracts
were entered
into.

agrees with you
that:

Prospectus
Supplement setting forth the amount of Certificates covered
thereby and the
terms thereof not otherwise specified in the Base Prospectus,

the price at
which such Certificates are to be sold will be determined, the
selling
concessions and reallowances, if any, and such other information
as you and the
Depositor deem appropriate in connection with the offering of
such Certificates,
but the Depositor shall not file any amendments to the
Registration Statement as
in effect with respect to the Certificates, or any amendments or
supplements to
the Prospectus, unless it has first delivered copies of such
amendments or
supplements to you, it has given you a reasonable opportunity to
review the same
and you have reasonably objected thereto promptly thereafter;
the Depositor
shall immediately advise you or your counsel (i) when notice is
received from
the Commission that any post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement
has been filed or has become or will become effective or any
supplement to the
Prospectus or any amended Prospectus, in each case relating to
the Certificates
has been filed and will furnish you with copies thereof, (ii) of
any request by
the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus
or for any additional information relating to the Certificates
and (iii) of any
order or communication suspending or preventing, or threatening
to suspend or
prevent, the offer and sale of the Certificates or of any
proceedings or
examinations that may lead to such an order or communication,
whether by or of
the Commission or any authority administering any state
securities or "blue sky"
law, as soon as the Depositor is advised thereof, and shall use
its best efforts
to prevent the issuance of any such order or communication and
to obtain as soon
as possible its lifting, if issued;
(b) if, at any time when the Prospectus is required to be
delivered under
the 1933 Act, any event occurs 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 any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, or if it
is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus
to comply with
the 1933 Act or the Rules and Regulations, the Depositor shall
prepare and file
with the Commission, an amendment or supplement that will
correct such statement
or omission or an amendment that will effect such
compliance;

of the
Certificates (the "Certificateholders"), in each case as soon as
practicable,

the first day of the related Trust's fiscal quarter next
following the effective
date of the Registration Statement and (ii) a period of 12
months beginning no
later than the first day of the Trust's fiscal quarter next
following the date
hereof which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
1933 Act and
Rule 158 of the Commission with respect to the Certificates. The
Depositor shall
cause the Trustee to furnish or make available, within a
reasonable time after
the end of each calendar year, to each holder of a Certificate
at any time
during such year, such information as the Depositor deems
necessary or desirable
to assist Certificateholders in preparing their federal income
