Default. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase and pay for any of the Class B Certificates agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the aggregate face amount of Class B Certificates spec...ified to be purchased by each of them in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate face amount of Class B Certificates to be purchased by all the remaining Underwriters) the Class B Certificates which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate face amount of Class B Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate face amount of Class B Certificates to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, but not the obligation within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Class B Certificates, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not complete such arrangements within such 24 hour period, then this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 8 hereof shall remain in effect. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 7 that does not result in a termination of this Agreement, the Closing Time shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company shall determine in order that the required changes in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and to any nondefaulting Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
