Ladies and Gentlemen:

3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), proposes to cause the issuance of its 3650R 2021-PF1 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-PF1 (collectively, the “Certificates”), in multiple classes, under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of November 1, 2021, between the Company, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”) and asset representations reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”). The Certificates issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will consist of the classes of Certificates specified on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Publicly Offered Certificates”) and the additional classes designated Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class J-RR, Class NR-RR and Class R. The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of a segregated pool (the “Mortgage Pool”) of thirty-five (35) fixed-rate, commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), each evidenced by one or more promissory notes secured by first mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar security instruments on the fee and/or leasehold estate of the related borrower in forty-two (42) commercial and multifamily properties. The Mortgage Loans will be purchased by the Company from (i) 3650 Real Estate Investment Trust 2 LLC (“3650 REIT”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “3650 REIT Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and 3650 REIT, (ii) Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. (“CREFI”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021

(the “CREFI Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and CREFI, and (iii) German American Capital Corporation (“GACC” and, together with 3650 REIT and CREFI, the “Mortgage Loan Sellers”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “GACC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement” and, together with the 3650 REIT Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the CREFI Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”), between the Company and GACC, in each case in exchange for immediately available funds. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as in effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4(a) of this Agreement).

The Company proposes to publicly offer the Publicly Offered Certificates through the Underwriters from time to time, in negotiated transactions or otherwise at varying prices determined at the time of sale, plus, in certain cases, accrued interest, when, as and if issued. This Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is to confirm the arrangements with respect to the placement by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI” and, together with CGMI, the “Underwriters”), severally and not jointly, of the Publicly Offered Certificates with investors.

The Company and 3650 REIT hereby acknowledge that 3650 REIT, as owner of a direct or indirect interest in the Company, will benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Underwriters are unwilling to enter into this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the absence of the agreements of the Company and 3650 REIT set forth in this Agreement.

At or prior to the time when sales to purchasers of the Publicly Offered Certificates were first made, which: (a) was approximately 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on November 5, 2021 with respect to each Class of Publicly Offered Certificates other than the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates, (b) was approximately 2:53 p.m. (Eastern Time) on November 9, 2021 with respect to the Class X-A Certificates, and (c) was approximately 2:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on November 9, 2021 with respect to the Class X-B Certificates (individually and collectively, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared or made available the following information (collectively, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the “Time of Sale Information”): (i) the Free Writing Prospectus (Structural and Collateral Term Sheet) dated November 1, 2021, the cover page of which is attached hereto as Annex A (the “Term Sheet”), (ii) the Preliminary Prospectus (as defined in Section 1(a) of this Agreement), (iii) any prospectus supplements specifically relating to the Publicly Offered Certificates that were filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) at least 48 hours prior to the initial Time of Sale (each, a “Pre-Pricing Supplement”), and (iv) each additional Free Writing Prospectus identified on (including by affixing the first page thereof as) Annex B hereto. “Free Writing Prospectus” means a “free-writing prospectus” as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act. If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Company and the Underwriters (x) 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 (y) terminate their old purchase contracts and enter into new purchase contracts with investors in the Publicly Offered Certificates, then “Time of Sale

-2- 

 

Information” will refer to the information, including any information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions, conveyed to purchasers at the time of entry into the first such new purchase contract (“Corrective Information”) and “Time of Sale” will refer to the time and date on which such new purchase contracts were entered into.

1.                  The Depositor, 3650 REIT and the Underwriters agree as follows. The Depositor hereby appoints the Underwriters to act as placement agents in connection with the offer and sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Underwriters hereby accept such appointment in accordance with the terms hereof. The Depositor agrees to pay each Underwriter the allocable portion, with respect to the Publicly Offered Certificates, of the placement fee set forth for such Underwriter in the engagement letter, dated June 22, 2021 (the “Engagement Letter”), entered into by CGMI and 3650 REIT. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Depositor agrees to sell or cause to be sold the Publicly Offered Certificates and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to use their respective best efforts to (i) solicit offers to purchase the Publicly Offered Certificates on behalf of the Depositor from time to time in negotiated transactions at various prices to be determined at the time of the sale and (ii) provide customary facilitation of the offering and sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates in global form through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”); provided, however, that the Underwriters shall have no liability to the Depositor in connection with any failure of an investor to consummate a sale for any reason. In connection with acting as placement agents hereunder, the Underwriters shall have the right (but no obligation) to purchase the Publicly Offered Certificates and resell the Publicly Offered Certificates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In the event the Publicly Offered Certificates are irrevocably placed with investors (pursuant to a binding agreement) and the Underwriters have received the necessary purchase price from an investor, in each case as determined by the Underwriters in their sole discretion, on the Closing Date, the Underwriters shall purchase such Publicly Offered Certificates from the Depositor and resell them to investors; provided, however, that the Underwriters shall have no liability to the Depositor in connection with any failure of an investor to consummate a sale for any reason. Each of the Depositor and each Underwriter agrees that, as to any and all of the Publicly Offered Certificates that either Underwriter purchases and resells or with respect to which an Underwriter arranges the sale pursuant to this Agreement, such Publicly Offered Certificates will be purchased, resold or sold, as the case may be, by such Underwriter in reliance on, among other things, the agreements, representations, warranties and covenants of the Depositor contained herein and on the terms and conditions and in the manner provided for herein. The Depositor will have the sole right to accept or reject any or all offers presented by either Underwriter in the sole and absolute discretion of the Depositor. The Depositor shall direct the Underwriters to remit the aggregate purchase price for the Publicly Offered Certificates placed pursuant hereto to accounts specified by 3650 REIT, which will be receiving such amounts as partial consideration for the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Underwriter shall have any obligation under this Agreement with respect to the offer and sale of any Classes of Certificates other than the Publicly Offered Certificates.

2.                  Each of the Company and 3650 REIT represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the Underwriters that:

(r)                 On or after the date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; or (iii) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or any change in the financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (iii) in the judgment of the Underwriters makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Publicly Offered Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus;

(s)                The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Underwriters at the Time of Delivery certificates of its officers satisfactory to the Underwriters as to the accuracy in all material respects of its representations and warranties herein at and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance of all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery and as to such other matters as the Underwriters may reasonably request;

(t)                 The Underwriters shall have received evidence satisfactory to them that the Publicly Offered Certificates are rated in the rating category or categories as indicated in the Time of Sale Information by the rating agency or agencies specified therein;

(u)               The Underwriters shall have received such further opinions, information, certificates and documents as the Underwriters may reasonably have requested, and all proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all

-20- 

 

documents incident hereto and thereto shall be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and their counsel; and

(v)               The Registration Statement shall be effective under the Securities Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission and the Prospectus and each Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 11 shall have been filed or transmitted for filing by means reasonably calculated to result in a filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 433 under the Securities Act, as applicable.

8.                  (a)  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (and will reimburse each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, for any legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action, investigation or proceeding, liability or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), to which such Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement when such part became effective, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or 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; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or 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; or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in (1) the Preliminary Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (2) any other Time of Sale Information, (3) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (4) any Issuer Information contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of clause (2) through (4) above, when read in conjunction with the other Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue statement or omission was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Time of Sale (or in the case of any Corrective Information correcting information in the Preliminary Prospectus (as amended or supplemented), at least 48 hours (but, in any event, no less than one (1) Business Day) prior to the date of the Time of Sale) and, if such Corrective Information was so delivered, the subject loss, expenses, claim, damage or liability would not have resulted but for the fact that such Underwriter sold Publicly Offered Certificates to the person asserting such loss, expenses, claim, damage or liability without delivering to such person such Corrective Information prior to the

-21- 

 

Time of Sale; or (iv) any breach of a representation and warranty in Section 2(x), Section 2(y) or Section 2(ee); provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability is caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission with respect to any Underwriter Information or Other Transaction Participant Information.

(b)               Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or its affiliates, directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, but only insofar as such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact, or omissions or alleged omissions to state 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, in the Underwriter Information with respect to such Underwriter; and (ii) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter or omission or alleged omission to state in such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless the Company to the extent such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission with respect to any Issuer Information, or (B) information (other than the Underwriter Information) that is also contained in the Time of Sale Information.

(c)                Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection (a) or (b), as the case may be, except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will be relieved of its indemnification obligation only to the extent of any loss caused by the indemnified party’s failure to provide notice) and in no event relieves it of liability it may otherwise have to any indemnified party. Upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be

-22- 

 

entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and other than under the circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the next sentence. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to designate within a reasonable period of time counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (in which case the fees and expenses shall be paid as incurred by the indemnifying party). In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). However, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel for which the indemnifying party has agreed under this Section 8(c), 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. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require or contain a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party, without the consent of the indemnified party.

(d)               If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) above in respect of any losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or

-23- 

 

actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is 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 Publicly Offered Certificates subject to this Agreement. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 8(c) of this Agreement, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the placement of the Publicly Offered Certificates through the Underwriters (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting fees, discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purposes) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute or deemed to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total fees, purchase discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates exceeds the amount of damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. The Underwriters’ obligation under this Section 8(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective placement amounts and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(e)                The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each affiliate, officer and director of any Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of each Underwriter under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each affiliate, officer and director of the Company and to each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

-24- 

 

(f)                The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred at the request of the indemnified party. In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment.

(g)               The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, 3650 REIT and the Underwriters as set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigations (or any statements as to the results thereof) made in connection with the issuance of the Publicly Offered Certificates by or on behalf of the Underwriters or any officer or director or controlling person of an Underwriter, the Company or 3650 REIT, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Company or 3650 REIT and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Publicly Offered Certificates. The provisions of Section 6, Section 10, Section 12(c), Section 22 and Section 23 of this Agreement and the indemnity and contribution agreements in this Section 8 shall survive the termination and cancellation of this Agreement.

(h)               Each Underwriter (the “Indemnifying Underwriter”) will indemnify and hold harmless the other Underwriters, each affiliate, officer and director of any such other Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any such other Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (such indemnified parties, individually and collectively, the “Non-Indemnifying Underwriter”) from and against any and all losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Non-Indemnifying Underwriter becomes subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, common law or otherwise insofar as such losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities, (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information) 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 under which they were made, not misleading at the Time of Sale, contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by such Indemnifying Underwriter, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter contained in the Underwriter Information or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter or necessary to make the statements therein regarding the Indemnifying Underwriter, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the failure of such Indemnifying Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of Section 11 of this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse such Non-Indemnifying Underwriter, as incurred for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, except to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information which was not corrected by Corrective

-25- 

 

Information subsequently supplied by the Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Time of Sale (or in the case of any Corrected Supplement, at least 48 hours (but, in any event, no less than one (1) Business Day) prior to the date of the Time of Sale), or in any Other Transaction Participant Information. This agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

9.                  [Reserved.]

10.              If for any reason the Publicly Offered Certificates are not delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee as provided herein, other than by several Underwriters’ failure to comply with their obligations hereunder, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the offer, sale and delivery of the Publicly Offered Certificates, but the Company shall be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Certificates except as provided in Section 6, Section 8 and Section 12(c) of this Agreement.

11.              (a) The Underwriters may prepare and provide to prospective investors Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below), or portions thereof, which the Company is required to file with the Commission in electronic format and will use reasonable efforts to provide to the Company such Free Writing Prospectuses, or portions thereof, in either Microsoft Word® or Microsoft Excel® format and not in a PDF, except to the extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, waives such requirements, subject to the following conditions (to which such conditions each Underwriter agrees (provided that no Underwriter shall be responsible for any breach of the following conditions by any other Underwriter)):

(i)                        Unless preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus, the Underwriters shall not convey or deliver any written communication to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates, unless such written communication (1) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (2) is made in reliance on Rule 172 under the Securities Act, (3) is the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or (4) constitutes a Free Writing Prospectus that does not constitute Time of Sale Information. The Underwriters shall not convey or deliver in connection with the initial offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates any materials in reliance on any “ABS informational and computational material,” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Securities Act (“ABS Informational and Computational Material”), in reliance upon Rules 167 and 426 under the Securities Act.

(ii)                        Each Underwriter shall deliver to the Company, no later than two business days prior to the date of first use thereof or such later date as may be agreed to by the Company that allows the Company to satisfy the requirements of Rule 433 under the Securities Act, (a) any Free Writing Prospectus that was prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter (an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”) and that contains any “issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act and footnote 271 of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591 (“Issuer Information”) (which the parties hereto agree includes, without limitation, Mortgage Loan Seller Information), and (b) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Free Writing Prospectus that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Materials may be delivered by an Underwriter to the Company not later than the later of (A) two business days prior to the due date for filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or such later date as may be agreed to by the Company or (B) the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus.

(iii)                        Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that the Free Writing Prospectuses to be furnished to the Company by such Underwriter pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of this Agreement will constitute all Free Writing Prospectuses of the type described therein that were furnished to prospective investors by such Underwriter in connection with its offer and placement of the Publicly Offered Certificates.

(iv)                        Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that each Free Writing Prospectus required to be provided by it to the Company pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of this Agreement did not, as of the Time of Sale, and will not as of the Closing Date, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided however, that such Underwriter makes no representation to the extent such misstatements or omissions were the result of any inaccurate Issuer Information, Other Transaction Participant Information, which information was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company or any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter within a reasonable period of time prior to the Time of Sale.

(v)                        The Company agrees to file with the Commission the following:

(D)             Any ABS Informational and Computational Material that is not being treated as a Free Writing Prospectus.

(vi)                        Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 11(a)(v)(C) of this Agreement by the Company shall be filed with the Commission not later than the date of first use of the Free Writing Prospectus, except that:

(xii)                        The Company and each Underwriter agree to retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that they have used and that are not required to be filed pursuant to this Section 11 for a period of three years following the initial bona fide offering of the Publicly Offered Certificates.

(xiii)                        (A) In the event that the Company becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), the Company shall notify the Underwriters of such untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery and the Company shall, if requested by the Underwriters, prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”).

(B)              In the event that any Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered to an investor in any Publicly Offered Certificates contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (together with a Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Free Writing Prospectus”), such Underwriter shall notify the Company of such untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery.

(C)              The Underwriters shall, if requested by the Company:

(1)               if the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, prepare a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement in or omission from the Defective Free Writing Prospectus (together with a Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Free Writing Prospectus”);

(2)               either (i) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor which received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus prior to entering into a contract of sale with such investor, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information, or

-30- 

 

(ii) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor that received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus and has entered into a contract of sale, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information;

(3)               notify such investor in a prominent fashion that the prior contract of sale with the investor has been terminated, and of the investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement;

(4)               provide such investor with an opportunity to affirmatively agree to purchase the Publicly Offered Certificates on the terms described in the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus; and

(5)               comply with any other requirements for reformation of the original contract of sale with such investor, as described in Section IV.A.2.c of Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.

(D)             In the event that the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and the Underwriters shall in good faith incur any costs to an investor in connection with the reformation of the contract of sale with the investor, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for such costs; provided that, before incurring such costs, the Underwriters first permit the Company access to the applicable investor and an opportunity to attempt to mitigate such costs through direct negotiation with such investor.

(xiv)                        Each Underwriter covenants with the Company that after the Prospectus is available such Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Publicly Offered Certificates to a prospective investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the Prospectus.

12.              (a)  Any Underwriter may terminate its obligations under this Agreement by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Time of Delivery if the sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates provided for herein is not consummated because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the absence of the fulfillment of any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)               This Agreement shall be terminable by the Underwriters if at any time on or prior to the Time of Delivery: (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company or the Trust Fund which, in the judgment of the Underwriters, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for the Publicly Offered Certificates; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any of the Publicly Offered Certificates by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined under the Exchange Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the

-31- 

 

Publicly Offered Certificates (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls as would, in the judgment of the Underwriters, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Publicly Offered Certificates, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or any over-the-counter market, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange or market, or any suspension of trading of any Publicly Offered Certificates on any relevant exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (v) any general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by any Federal or New York State authorities; (vi) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States; or (vii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Underwriters, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of any payment for the Publicly Offered Certificates.

(c)                If any Underwriter terminates its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 12(a) or Section 12(b) of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse such Underwriter for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with the offering and placement of the Publicly Offered Certificates.

13.              All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) personally delivered, (b) mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and received by the addressee, (c) sent by express courier delivery service and received by the addressee or (d) transmitted by telex or facsimile transmission (or any other type of electronic transmission agreed upon by the parties) and confirmed by a writing delivered by any of the means described in (a), (b) or (c), if (i) to the Company or 3650 REIT, addressed to it at 3650 REIT, Attn.: General Counsel, 2977 McFarlane Road, Suite 300, Miami, Florida 33133, e-mail: ***@***; (ii) to CGMI, addressed to (A) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 390 Greenwich Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10013, Attention: Raul Orozco, fax number: (347) 394-0898, (B) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10013, Attention: Richard Simpson, fax number: (646) 328-2943, and (C) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10013, Attention: Ryan M.

14.              This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of the Underwriters, the Company, 3650 REIT and, to the extent provided in Section 6 and Section 8 of this Agreement, the respective affiliates, officers and directors of the Company and the Underwriters and each person who controls the Company or any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Publicly Offered Certificates from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign merely by reason of such purchase.

15.              Time shall be of the essence for purposes of this Agreement.

16.              THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF.

18.              This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the transaction consisting of this Agreement (and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, each officer’s certificate, receipt or similar closing document delivered in connection with the closing of this transaction) may be conducted by electronic means. Each party agrees, and acknowledges that it is such party’s intent, that if such party signs this Agreement (or, if applicable, such closing document) using an electronic signature, it is signing, adopting, and accepting this Agreement or such closing document and that signing this Agreement or such closing document using an electronic signature is the legal equivalent of having placed its handwritten signature on this Agreement or such closing document on paper. The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

-33- 

 

19.              The Company and each Underwriter is authorized, subject to applicable law, to disclose any and all aspects of this potential transaction that are necessary to support any U.S. federal income tax benefits expected to be claimed with respect to such transaction, and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) related to those benefits, without the Underwriters imposing any limitations of any kind.

20.              This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated except by a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

21.              EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; (II) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT; (III) AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW; AND (IV) CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON IT BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO IT AS PROVIDED FOR NOTICES HEREUNDER AND AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

22.              (a) 3650 REIT hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Underwriter the due and punctual payment of all sums due by, and the performance of all obligations of, the Company under Section 6, Section 8, Section 10 and Section 12(c) of this Agreement and any other provisions hereof requiring the payment of any amount by the Company, as and when the same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) according to the terms hereof. In the case of the failure of the Company to make any such payment as and when due, 3650 REIT hereby agrees to make such payment or cause such payment to be made, promptly upon written demand to 3650 REIT by the applicable Underwriter, but any delay in providing such notice shall not under any circumstances reduce the liability of 3650 REIT or operate as a waiver of such Underwriter’s right to demand payment.

(a)                This guarantee shall be a guaranty of payment and performance, and the obligations of 3650 REIT under this guarantee shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional. 3650 REIT waives any and all defenses it may have arising out of: (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement in relation to the Company; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same; (iii) the rendering of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same; (iv) any waiver or consent by any Underwriter or any amendment or other modification to this Agreement; (v) any defense to payment hereunder based upon suretyship defenses; (vi) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, (vii) any defense based on (1) the corporate status of the Company, (2) the power and authority of the Company to enter into this

-34- 

 

Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder or (3) the legality, validity and enforceability of the Company’s obligation under this Agreement, or (viii) any other defense, circumstances or limitation of any nature whatsoever that would constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or other third party obligor. This guarantee shall continue to remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the renewal, extension, modification, or waiver, in whole or in part, of any of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement which are subject to this guarantee.

(b)               3650 REIT waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices and demands relating to this Agreement and (ii) any requirement that the Underwriters proceed first against the Company under this Agreement or otherwise exhaust any right, power or remedy under this Agreement before proceeding hereunder.

23.              3650 REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter from and against any and all loss, cost or expense, including any losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, forfeitures, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, including any costs of enforcement, incurred or suffered as a result of, or related to, (i) any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement (other than Section 6, Section 8, Section 10 and Section 12(c) hereof) and any other provisions hereof requiring the payment of any amount by the Company), (ii) any breach by 3650 of any of its obligations as “retaining sponsor” under Regulation RR or (iii) the invalidity or otherwise unenforceability of the guaranty provided for under, or any other provisions of, Section 22, including the waiver of any defenses provided for pursuant to Section 22, or for any limitations on the recovery or timing of amounts in connection with the attempted enforcement of the guaranty. 

24.              3650 REIT represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:

(a)                3650 REIT has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite power and authority (limited liability company and other, including, without limitation, all material licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies) to own its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it; and

(b)               This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of 3650 REIT, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity, and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law or considerations of public policy.

25.              (a) In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if

-35- 

 

this Agreement (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)               In the event a Covered Party or any BHC Act Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights with respect to this Agreement that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(c)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that:

(i)                        None of the Underwriters shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right with respect to this Agreement or any Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Act Affiliate of the Company becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, except as permitted under the provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable; and

(ii)                        Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the transfer of any Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement, any interest or obligation in or under such Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement, or any property securing such Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement to a Transferee upon or following a BHC Act Affiliate of the Company becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, unless the transfer would result in any Underwriter being the beneficiary of such Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement in violation of any law applicable to such Underwriter.

(d)               After a BHC Act Affiliate of the Company has become subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, if an Underwriter seeks to exercise any Default Right with respect to this Agreement or any Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement, such Underwriter shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder or thereunder.

(e)                The requirements of Sections 25(a) and 25(b) of this Agreement apply notwithstanding Section 25(c) of this Agreement.

(f)                Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 26, the following definitions apply:

(i)                “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).

(ii)                “Covered Affiliate Credit Enhancement” means any Credit Enhancement provided by a BHC Act Affiliate of the Company to any one or more Underwriters.

(C)              a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(v)                “Credit Enhancement” means, with respect to this Agreement, any credit enhancement or other credit support arrangement in support of the obligations of the Company hereunder or with respect hereto, including any guarantee, collateral arrangement (including any pledge, charge, mortgage or other security interest in collateral or title transfer arrangement), trust or similar arrangement, letter of credit, transfer of margin, reimbursement obligation or any similar arrangement.
