and naming the applicable Seller as debtor and the Purchaser as secured party
and indicating that the Mortgage Loans have been assigned to the Trust and all
necessary Continuation Statements and any additional UCC1 Financing Statements
due to a change in the name or the state of incorporation of that Seller. The
Financing Statement shall be filed by the Closing Date. This Financing
Statement will state in bold-faced type that a purchase of the Mortgage Loans
included in the collateral covered by the Financing Statement from the debtor
will violate the rights of the secured party and its assignee.
The Purchaser agrees to perfect and protect the Trust's interest in
each Mortgage Loan and its proceeds by preparing, executing, and filing a UCC1

as secured party (and indicating that the Mortgage Loans have been pledged to
the Indenture Trustee) and all necessary Continuation Statements and any
additional UCC1 Financing Statements due to a change in the name or the state
of incorporation of the Purchaser. The Financing Statement shall be filed by
the Closing Date. This Financing Statement will state in bold-faced type that

with evidence of recording on it cannot be delivered by the Closing
Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where
the original Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because
the original Mortgage has been lost, the Sponsor shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee an accurate copy of the mortgage, together with (i)
when the delay is caused by the public recording office, an Officer's

(2) no later than the twentieth day after the Closing Date,

Each Seller confirms to the Purchaser that, as of the Closing Date,
it has caused the portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Initial
Mortgage Loans maintained by that Seller to be clearly and unambiguously
marked to indicate that the Initial Mortgage Loans have been sold to the
Purchaser, and sold by the Purchaser to the Trust, and Granted by the Trust to
the Indenture Trustee, and that a purchase of those Mortgage Loans from that
Seller or the Purchaser will violate the rights of the Trust, as secured party
with respect to those Mortgage Loans. By the relevant Subsequent Closing Date
or the applicable date of substitution, as applicable, CHL shall cause the
portions of the Electronic Ledgers relating to the relevant Additional Home
Equity Loans or Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, to be
clearly and unambiguously marked, and shall make appropriate entries in its
general accounting records, to indicate that those Mortgage Loans have been
transferred to the Trust at the direction of the Purchaser and that they have
been Granted by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee, and that a purchase of the
Mortgage Loans from CHL or the Purchaser will violate the rights of the Trust,
as secured party with respect to those Mortgage Loans.
The Purchaser accepts all right, title, and interest of each of the
Sellers existing now or in the future in the Mortgage Loans and other property
transferred to it pursuant to this Section.
The transfer of the Mortgage Loans is a sale by each Seller to the
Purchaser of all its interest in the applicable Mortgage Loans and other
property described above. However, to provide for the possibility that either
transfer might be characterized as a transfer for security and not as a sale,
each Seller hereby Grants to the Purchaser a Security Interest in all of its
right, title, and interest in the applicable Mortgage Loans and other property
described above, whether existing now or in the future, to secure all of that
its obligations under this Agreement; and this Agreement shall constitute a
Security Agreement under applicable law.
Section 2.03. Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans.
(a) In consideration of the sale of the Initial Mortgage Loans from
each of the Sellers to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees
to transfer to the applicable Seller on the Closing Date the purchase price
for the applicable Initial Mortgage Loans provided in the Adoption Annex
attached as Annex 1 to this Agreement (the "Adoption Annex").
6
(b) In consideration of the sale of the Additional Home Equity Loans
from the Seller to the Purchaser on each Subsequent Closing Date, the
Purchaser agrees to cause the Trust to pay to the Seller, when the conditions
to the release of the purchase price for the Additional Home Equity Loans
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement have been met, an amount equal to their
Cut-off Date Asset Balance.

lender's title insurance policy or binder was issued or a guaranty of
title customary in the relevant jurisdiction was obtained, on the
date of origination of the Mortgage Loan being transferred on the
relevant date and each policy is valid and remains in full force.
(17) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, none of the
Mortgaged Properties is a mobile home or a manufactured housing unit
that is not considered or classified as part of the real estate under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located.

related Mortgage Loans, are secured by Mortgaged Properties located
in one United States postal zip code.
(19) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the
Loan-to-Value Ratio for each Mortgage Loan was not in excess of the
percentage specified in the Adoption Annex.
(20) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, no selection
procedure reasonably believed by CHL to be adverse to the interests
of the Transferor, the Noteholders, or the Credit Enhancer was used
in selecting the Mortgage Loans.
(21) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, neither Seller
has transferred the Mortgage Loans to the Trust with any intent to
hinder, delay, or defraud any of its creditors.
(22) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Minimum
Monthly Payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan is not less than
the interest accrued at the applicable Loan Rate on the average daily
Asset Balance during the interest period relating to the date on
which the Minimum Monthly Payment is due.
(23) The Mortgage Notes constitute either "instruments" or
"general intangibles" as defined in the UCC.
(24) By the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or within 30 days of the applicable
date of substitution with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage
Loan, the Sponsor will file UCC1 financing statements in the proper
filing office in the appropriate jurisdiction to perfect the Security
Interest in the Collateral Granted under the Indenture.
(25) The Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the
Collateral do not have any marks or notations indicating that they
have been pledged, assigned, or otherwise transferred to any person
other than the Purchaser, the Trust, or the Indenture
14
Trustee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against each
Seller in favor of the Purchaser, the Trust, or the Indenture Trustee
in connection with this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
or the Indenture describing the Collateral contain a statement to the
following effect: "A purchase of the Mortgage Loans included in the
collateral covered by this financing statement will violate the
rights of the Purchaser, the Trust, or the Indenture Trustee."
(26) As of the Closing Date, CHL and Park Monaco will have
received a written acknowledgement from the Custodian that is acting
solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee.
(27) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, each Credit
Line Agreement and each Mortgage Loan is an enforceable obligation of
the related mortgagor.
(28) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any

to a Mortgaged Property that has not been cured by a party other than
the Master Servicer.
(29) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the definition
of "prime rate" in each Credit Line Agreement relating to a Mortgage
Loan does not differ materially from "the highest `prime rate' as
published in the `Money Rates' table of The Wall Street Journal as of
the first business day of the calendar month for the applicable
interest rate adjustment date."
(30) The weighted average remaining term to maturity of the
Initial Mortgage Loans on a contractual basis as of the Cut-off Date
is approximately the number of months specified in the Adoption
Annex. On each date that the Loan Rates have been adjusted, interest
rate adjustments on the Initial Mortgage Loans were made in
compliance with the related mortgage and Mortgage Note and applicable
law. Over the term of each Mortgage Loan, the Loan Rate may not
exceed the related Loan Rate Cap. The Loan Rate Cap for the Initial
Mortgage Loans ranges between the percentages specified in the
Adoption Annex and the weighted average Loan Rate Cap is
approximately the percentage specified in the Adoption Annex. The
Gross Margins for the Initial Mortgage Loans range between the
percentages specified in the Adoption
15
Annex and the weighted average Gross Margin is approximately the
percentage specified in the Adoption Annex as of the Cut-off Date for
the Initial Mortgage Loans. The Loan Rates on the Initial Mortgage
Loans range between the percentages specified in the Adoption Annex
and the weighted average Loan Rate on the Initial Mortgage Loans is
approximately the percentage specified in the Adoption Annex.
(31) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, each Mortgaged
Property consists of a single parcel of real property with a
one-to-four unit single family residence erected on it, or an
individual condominium unit, planned unit development unit, or
townhouse.
(32) No more than the percentage specified in the Adoption Annex
(by Cut-off Date Loan Balance) of the Initial Mortgage Loans are
secured by real property improved by individual condominium units,
units in planned unit developments, townhouses, or two-to-four family
residences erected on them, and at least the percentage specified in
the Adoption Annex (by Cut-off Date Loan Balance) of the Mortgage
Loans are secured by real property with a detached one-family
residence erected on them.
(33) The Credit Limits on the Initial Mortgage Loans range
between approximately the dollar amounts specified in the Adoption
Annex with an average of approximately the dollar amount specified in
the Adoption Annex. As of the Cut-off Date for the Initial Mortgage
Loans, no Mortgage Loan had a principal balance in excess of
approximately the dollar amount specified in the Adoption Annex and
the average principal balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans is equal
to approximately the dollar amounts specified in the Adoption Annex.
(34) Approximately the percentages specified in the Adoption
Annex of the Initial Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance
as of the Cut-off Date, are secured by first and second liens.
(35) As of the Closing Date, no more than the percentage
specified in the Adoption Annex of the Initial Mortgage Loans, by
aggregate principal balance, were appraised electronically.
(36) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, no default
exists under any applicable Mortgage
16
Note or applicable Mortgage Loan and no event that, with the passage
of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure
period, would constitute a default under any applicable Mortgage Note
or applicable Mortgage Loan has occurred and been waived. As of the
Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, the relevant
Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any Additional Home Equity
Loans, or the applicable date of substitution with respect to any
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, no modifications to the applicable
Mortgage Notes and applicable Mortgage Loans have been made and not
disclosed.
(37) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage
Loan was originated in accordance with the Sponsor's underwriting
guidelines and the Sponsor had no knowledge of any fact that would
have caused a reasonable originator of mortgage loans to conclude on
the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan that each such Mortgage
Loan would not be paid in full when due.
(38) To the best knowledge of CHL at the time of origination of
each Mortgage Loan, no improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property was in violation of any applicable zoning and
subdivision laws or ordinances.
(39) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, any leasehold
estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of not less than five
years in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(40) Based on the drawn balances of the Initial Mortgage Loans,
the Initial Mortgage Loans had the characteristics set out in the
Adoption Annex in respect of the following: weighted average Combined
Loan-to-Value Ratio; range of Combined Loan-to-Value Ratios;
percentage of primary residences; weighted average FICO score; range
of FICO scores; Weighted Average Net Loan Rate; range of net Loan
Rates; weighted average original stated term to maturity; range of
original term to maturity; range of remaining term to maturity;
average drawn balance; weighted average utilization ratio; and
percentage of the Initial Mortgage Loans that have their respective
Mortgaged Properties located in the top five states, measured by
aggregate drawn balances.
(41) Any Initial Mortgage Loan that has been modified in any
manner has been so modified in accordance with the policies and
procedures of the Master Servicer and in a manner that was permitted
by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, and any other
Transaction Document.
(42) Each Initial Mortgage Loan was originated (within the
meaning of Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
by an entity that satisfied at
17
the time of origination the requirements of Section 3(a)(41) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(43) At the time each Initial Mortgage Loan was originated, each
Seller was, and each Seller is an approved seller of conventional
mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac and is a mortgagee
approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act.
(44) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a
condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if
applicable, in an amount at least equal to the principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date or the relevant
Subsequent Cut-off Date, as applicable, or a commitment (binder) to
issue the same was effective on the date of the origination of each
Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full force,
and each such policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located
and acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac and is in a form
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac, which policy insures the
Sponsor and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured
Mortgage, as to the first priority lien, of the Mortgage subject to
the exceptions in paragraph (7) above.
(45) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the
improvements on each Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and
existing hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier
that provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such
other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser
of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing the
Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds
of the policy will be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the
mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is a
condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a
blanket policy for the condominium unit. All such individual
insurance policies and all flood policies referred to in item (46)
below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Sponsor or the
original mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and
the Sponsor has received no notice that any premiums due and payable
thereon have not been paid, and the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance, including flood insurance,
at the Mortgagor's expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do
so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such
18
insurance at the Mortgagor's expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor.
(46) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance
Administration is in effect with respect to the Mortgaged Property
with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to that
Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for
damage or loss on a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount
of insurance that is available under the National Flood Insurance Act
of 1968.
(47) Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and
each is the valid and legally binding obligation of its maker,
enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law,
except that (a) its enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, receivership, and other similar laws relating
to creditors' rights generally and (b) the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be
subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court
before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. To the best of
CHL's knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and
each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by such parties.
(48) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other
contingent interest feature.
(49) To the best of CHL's knowledge, all of the improvements that
were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of
the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach on the Mortgaged Property.
(50) To the best of CHL's knowledge, all inspections, licenses,
and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the
use and occupancy of the same, including certificates of occupancy
and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from
the appropriate authorities, unless their lack would not have a
material adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property, and
the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
19
(51) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
that render the rights and remedies of its holder adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by it, including, (i) in the case of
a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
(52) Before the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, an
appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was obtained from a
qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the Sponsor, who had no
interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any
loan secured by the Mortgaged Property, and whose compensation is not
affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.
(53) Except for (A) payments in the nature of escrow payments,
and (B) interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date
of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is later, to the
day that precedes by one month the Due Period of the first
installment of principal and interest and taxes and insurance
payments, the Sponsor has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited,
or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the
Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage.
(54) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, no foreclosure
proceedings are pending against any Mortgaged Property and no
Mortgage Loan is subject to any pending bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding.
(55) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the relevant Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any
Additional Home Equity Loans, or the applicable date of substitution
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, there is no
homestead exemption available and enforceable that materially
interferes with the right to sell any Mortgaged Property at a
trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the related Mortgage.
(56) No borrower was required to purchase any single premium
credit insurance policy (e.g., life, disability, accident,
unemployment, or health insurance product) or debt cancellation
agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No
borrower obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy
(e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, mortgage, or health
insurance) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.
No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase debt
cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a
condition to closing, the Mortgage Loan.
20
(57) The Initial Mortgage Loans, individually and in the
aggregate, conform in all material respects to their descriptions in
the Prospectus Supplement.
(58) Each Mortgage Loan represents a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to
the rule in Treasury Regulation ss. 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats a
defective obligation as a qualified mortgage, or any substantially
similar successor provision).
(b) If the substance of any representation or warranty under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement or in this Section made to the best of CHL's knowledge
or as to which a Seller has no knowledge is inaccurate and the inaccuracy
materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser or its assignee
in the related Mortgage Loan, then, notwithstanding that the Seller did not
know the substance of the representation and warranty was inaccurate at the
time the representation or warranty was made, the inaccuracy shall be a breach
of the applicable representation or warranty and CHL shall cure the breach,
repurchase the Mortgage Loan, or substitute for the Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(c) The representations and warranties in this Section shall survive
the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser. The sole
remedy of the Purchaser, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
Noteholders, and the Credit Enhancer against a Seller for the breach of a
representation or warranty is CHL's obligation to accept a transfer of a
Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing and to make
any required deposit in the Collection Account or to substitute an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan.
(d) The Purchaser acknowledges that CHL, as Master Servicer, in its
sole discretion, may purchase for its own account from the Trust any Mortgage
Loan that is 151 days or more delinquent. The price for any Mortgage Loan
purchased shall be calculated in the same manner as in Section 3.06 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall be deposited in the Collection Account.
When it receives a certificate from the Master Servicer in the form of Exhibit
D to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust shall release to the
purchaser of the Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and
deliver any instruments of transfer prepared by the purchaser of the Mortgage
Loan, without recourse, necessary to vest in the purchaser of the Mortgage
Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to this Agreement, and the purchaser
of the Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trust's interest in the Mortgage
Loan and all security and documents. This assignment shall be an assignment
outright and not for security. The purchaser of the Mortgage Loan shall then
own the Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further
obligation to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Transferor, the Credit Enhancer, or the Noteholders with respect to it.
21

Standard & Poor's Predatory Lending Categorization
Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending
laws in the jurisdictions listed below into three categories based on a
combination of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the
assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws.
Note that certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are
included in Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan category because they included
thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High
Cost by the industry.
