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. 333-140804), as amended,
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.

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" will refer to the time when
such new purchase
contracts are entered into and "Time of Sale Information" will
refer to the

Securities Act) in connection with sales of the Offered
Certificates by any
Underwriter or dealer.

authorizing,
approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing

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
or supplement to which the Representative reasonably

the
Representative promptly, and confirm such advice in writing, (i)
when any

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

Depositor 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
qualification of the Offered Certificates and, if issued, will
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

such dealers as
the Representative may designate, such amendments or supplements

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;

jurisdiction; or
(iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it
is not so
subject.

available
to its security holders and the Representative as soon as
practicable an earning

period of at
least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of

servicing reports
furnished to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement by

of the Basic
Documents; and (iii) copies of all reports or other
communications (financial or
other) furnished to holders of the Offered Certificates, and
copies of any
reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the
Commission, any
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

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

5. Representations of the Several Underwriters. Each Underwriter
hereby
represents and agrees, severally and not jointly, that in
relation to each
Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented
the Prospectus
Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State"), with effect from
and including the
date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that
Relevant Member
State (the "Relevant Implementation Date") it has not made and
will not make an
offer of the Offered Certificates to the public in that Relevant
Member State
prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the
Offered Certificates
which has been approved by the competent authority in that
Relevant Member State
or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State
and notified to
the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in
accordance with
the Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from
and including the
Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of the Offered
Certificates to the
public in that Relevant Member State at any time:
(a) to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to
operate in the
financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated, whose
corporate
purpose is solely to invest in securities;
(b) to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average
of at
least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total
balance
sheet of more than (euro)43,000,000 and (3) an annual net
turnover of more
than (euro)50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or
consolidated
accounts; or
(c) in any other circumstances which do not require the
publication by the
Depositor of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the
Prospectus
Directive.
For the purposes of this representation, the expression an
"offer of the
Certificates to the public" in relation to any Offered
Certificates in any
Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by
any means of
sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Offered
Certificates to
be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or
subscribe the
Offered Certificates, as the same may be varied in that Member
State by any
measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member
State, and the
expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC and
includes any
relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.
Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, hereby further
represents and
agrees, with respect to the United Kingdom, that:
(i) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and
will only
communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or
inducement to
engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21
of the
Financial Services and Markets Act) received by it in connection
with the
issue or sale of the Offered Certificates in circumstances in
which
Section 21(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act does not
apply to
the Depositor; and
(ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable
provisions of the
Financial Services and Markets Act with respect to anything done
by it in
relation to the Offered Certificates in, from or otherwise
involving the
United Kingdom.
