Pursuant to this underwriting agreement (the “Agreement”), the Company further proposes to sell to Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (“Wachovia Securities”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”), Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman”), J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMorgan”) and Lehman Brothers Inc. (“Lehman”, and each of Wachovia Securities, Citigroup, Goldman, JPMorgan and Lehman individually, an “Underwriter” and, collectively, the “Underwriters”) the Certificates set forth in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwritten Certificates”) in the respective original principal amounts set forth in Schedule I.

The Certificates represent in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting of a segregated pool (the “Mortgage Pool”) of one hundred and fourteen (114) mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) having an approximate aggregate principal balance of $1,731,843,767 as of the Cut-Off Date secured by first liens on certain fee or leasehold interests in multifamily and commercial properties (the “Mortgaged Properties”). The Certificates will be issued on June 29, 2006 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of June 1, 2006 among the Company, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), LNR Partners, Inc., as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). Eighty-five (85) of the Mortgage Loans (the “Wachovia Mortgage Loans”), having an aggregate principal balance of $1,553,726,270 as of the Cut-Off Date, were acquired by the Company from Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”) pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase agreement, dated as of June 1, 2006 (the “Wachovia Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), between Wachovia and the Company. Twenty-nine (29) of the Mortgage Loans (the “Artesia Mortgage Loans”), having an aggregate principal balance of $178,117,498 as of the Cut-Off Date, were acquired by the Company from Artesia Mortgage Capital Corporation (“Artesia”) pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase agreement, dated as of June 1, 2006 (the “Artesia Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Wachovia Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”), between Artesia and the Company. Each of Wachovia and Artesia is referred to herein, individually, as a “Mortgage Loan Seller” and, together, as the “Mortgage Loan Sellers”.

Three separate real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) elections will be made with respect to certain portions of the Trust Fund for federal income tax purposes. The Underwritten Certificates and the Mortgage Pool are described more fully in Schedule I hereto and in a registration statement furnished to you by the Company.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

	(vii) The Company is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation or by laws or in default under any agreement, indenture or instrument the effect of which violation or default would be material to the Company or which violation or default would have a material adverse affect on the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

-4-

	any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement nor the consummation by the Company of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor compliance by the Company with the provisions hereof or thereof, did, does or will conflict with or result in a breach of any term or provision of the certificate of incorporation or by laws of the Company or conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with the passing of time or notification, or both, would constitute a default) under, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any material asset is bound, or any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Company of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.

	(viii) There is no action, suit or proceeding against the Company pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, before any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Underwritten Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Underwritten Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Company of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Underwritten Certificates or (iv) seeking to affect adversely the federal income tax attributes of the Underwritten Certificates as described in the Prospectus.

	(ix) There are no contracts, indentures or other documents of a character required by the 1933 Act or by the rules and regulations thereunder to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which have not been so described or referred to therein or so filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto.

	(x) No authorization, approval or consent of any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary in connection with the offering or sale of the Underwritten Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, except such as have been, or as of the Closing Date will have been, obtained or such as may otherwise be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and offer and sale of the Underwritten Certificates by the Underwriters and any recordation of the respective assignments of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that have not been completed.

	(xiii) Neither the Company nor the Trust Fund is, and neither the sale of the Underwritten Certificates in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus nor the activities of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will cause the Company or the Trust Fund to be, an “investment company” or under the control of an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

	(xiv) Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Company reported the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee in exchange for the Certificates and will report the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement as a sale of the interests in the Mortgage Loans evidenced by the Underwritten Certificates. The consideration received by the Company upon the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters will constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Underwritten Certificates.

If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Company 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

-6-

	Underwritten Certificates, then “Time of Sale Information”, in connection with a particular purchaser of the Underwritten Certificates will refer to the information available to such purchaser at the time of entry into the last such new purchase contract with such particular purchaser, including any information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (“Corrective Information”).

	(xviii) The Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain 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 under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to (i) any statements or omissions relating to any Underwriter made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in such Time of Sale Information, (ii) any Mortgage Loan Seller Covered Information in such Time of Sale Information, (iii) any Master Servicer Covered Information in such Time of Sale Information, (iv) any Special Servicer Covered Information in such Time of Sale Information or (v) any Trustee Covered Information in such Time of Sale Information.

Each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus complied in all material respects with the 1933 Act, has been filed in accordance with Section 4(c)(iv) (to the extent required thereby) and, when taken together with all other material delivered at the Time of Sale, did not at the Time of Sale, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statements 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 under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to (i) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (ii) any Mortgage Loan Seller Covered Information in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (iii) any Master Servicer Covered Information in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (iv) any Special Servicer Covered Information in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (v) any Trustee Covered Information in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company to the Underwriter at any time prior to the Time of Sale, or (C) any breach of the representation and warranty in Section 1(a)(xvi); provided that, in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, the indemnity provided by this Section 8(a) shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission with respect to information with respect to which a Mortgage Loan Seller provides indemnification pursuant to Section 7 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Seller Covered Information”); provided, further, the indemnification provided by this Section 8 shall not apply to the extent that such untrue statement or omission of a material fact was made as a result of an error in the manipulation of, or in any calculations based upon, or in any aggregation of the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related mortgagors and/or the related Mortgaged Properties set forth in the Master Tape or Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement, to the extent (i) such information was materially incorrect in the Master Tape or such Annex A, as applicable, including without limitation, the aggregation of such information relating to the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund or the information provided by the Mortgage Loan Sellers, and (ii) such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would be subject to the provisions of Section 7 of any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, further, the indemnification provided by this Section 8 shall not apply to the Mortgage Loan Seller Covered Information, the Master Servicer Covered Information, the Special Servicer Covered Information or the Trustee Covered Information;

-25-

	(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company or as otherwise contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof; and

	(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such Underwriter), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, the indemnity provided by this Section 8(a) shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information (as specified in Section 8(b) below) furnished to the Company by any Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (collectively, the “Underwriter Information”); provided that no such material misstatement or omission arises from an error or omission in information relating to the underlying data regarding the Mortgage Loans or the related mortgagors or Mortgaged Properties provided by the Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter. In addition, each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact,

-26-

or omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, when read together with all other materials delivered to investors prior to the Time of Sale in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered to investors prior to the Time of Sale; provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless to the extent such liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information supplied by the Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to the Underwriter which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Company or any Mortgage Loan Seller to the Underwriter at any time prior to the Time of Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence will apply only if such misstatement or omission was not also a misstatement or omission in the Prospectus. It is hereby acknowledged that (i) the statements set forth in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth sentences of the penultimate paragraph on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement, and (ii) the statements in the second paragraph and the first sentence of the sixth paragraph under the caption “METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION” in the Prospectus Supplement, constitute the only written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Base Prospectus, the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof (unless the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure) or any liability that it may have, otherwise than on account of the indemnity provided by this Section 8. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from the indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. 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, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of such action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, within a reasonable period following the indemnifying party’s receiving notice of such action, or (iii) 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. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (or, in the event the Company or Wachovia is the indemnifying party, one counsel for each Underwriter) (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its or 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. Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding, 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) but, 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 sentence,

-27-

if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel or any other expenses for which the indemnifying party is obligated under this subsection, 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 45 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 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, which release does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party without the consent of the indemnified party.

(d) The indemnity provided by this Section 8 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Underwritten Certificates.

(e) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless any other Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively, the “Non-Indemnifying Underwriter”) from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, that 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 to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the Time of Sale, contained in any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by, or on behalf of, or used or referred to by, such Indemnifying Underwriter, when read together with other materials delivered to investors prior to the Time of Sale or (ii) the failure of such indemnifying Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of Section 4(c) hereof, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact relating to the information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter for which such Underwriter is required to indemnify the Company under Section 8(b) above, and agrees to reimburse each 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, liability, claim, damage or expense; provided that the indemnity provided by this Section 8(e) shall not apply to the extent that such indemnified Underwriter is entitled under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to seek indemnity for such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense from a Mortgage Loan Seller.

The indemnity provided by this Section 8 will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter, the Company or Wachovia may otherwise have.

-28-

9. Contribution.

(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided by Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, or if such indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is insufficient in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims or damages referred to therein, the Company and Wachovia, jointly and severally, and the Underwriters, severally, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by the indemnity provided by Section 8 hereof incurred by the Company and the Underwriters, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Wachovia on the one hand and each Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Underwritten Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Wachovia on the one hand and of each Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations (taking into account the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission or failure to comply, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances). The relative benefits received by the Company and Wachovia on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective portions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Underwritten Certificates and the total underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees received by the Underwriters in connection therewith bear to the aggregate offering price of the Underwritten Certificates. The relative fault of the Company and Wachovia on the one hand and of each Underwriter on the other 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 and Wachovia or by the Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and no Underwriter shall be obligated to contribute more than its share of underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees pertaining to the Underwritten Certificates less any damages otherwise paid by such Underwriter with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense. It is hereby acknowledged that the respective Underwriters’ obligations under this Section 9 shall be several and not joint. For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and such Underwriter’s officers and directors, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the considerations referred to in subsection (a) above.

-29-

The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims or damages referred to in Section 8 hereof or this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal fees and disbursements or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such claim except where the indemnified party is required to bear such expenses, which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent that it is reasonable to believe that the indemnifying party will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses. 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. The remedies provided for in Section 8 hereof and this Section 9 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.

(c) The contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Company, the Underwriters, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Underwritten Certificates.

10. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Underwritten Certificates agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder 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 (in the respective proportions which the portion of the Underwritten Certificates set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Underwritten Certificates set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) to purchase the Underwritten Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided that no Underwriter shall be obligated under this Section 10 to purchase Certificates of a Class that it is not otherwise obligated to purchase under this Agreement; provided, further, however, in the event that the amount of Underwritten Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Certificates set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Underwritten Certificates, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all of the Underwritten Certificates, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12 hereof. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date for the Underwritten Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding ten business days, as you shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement 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 any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

11. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company and Wachovia submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Company and Wachovia, or by or on behalf of any of the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and shall survive delivery of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters.

-30-

12. Termination of Agreement; Survival.

(a) The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date (i) if there has been, since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company or of Wachovia whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) if there has occurred any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of any Underwriter, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Underwritten Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten Certificates, (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company or of Wachovia has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal or New York authorities, or (v) a material disruption in securities, settlement, payments or clearance services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12(c) hereof.

(c) The provisions of Section 5(e) hereof regarding the payment of costs and expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement, whether such termination is pursuant to this Section 12 or otherwise.
