The Swap Contract Administrator hereby agrees to make payments based on
the information provided by the Trustee and the Counterparty, and the Swap
Contract Administrator shall, absent manifest error, be entitled to rely on

On the Business Day of receipt of any payment from the Counterparty or
the Guarantor, the Swap Contract Administrator shall withdraw the amount of such
payment from the Swap Administration Account and distribute such amounts

5. Control Rights; Delivery Amounts; Replacement Swap Contract.
The Trustee shall have the right to direct the Swap Contract
Administrator with respect to the exercise of any right under the Swap Contract
(such as the right to designate an Early Termination Date following an Event of
Default or Termination Event (each such term as defined in the Swap Contract)).
4
If the obligations of the Counterparty are, or shall become, guaranteed
pursuant to the guarantee of any party (whether an affiliate of the Counterparty
or otherwise), then the Swap Contract Administrator shall promptly demand in
accordance with the terms of the guarantee from such guarantor all amounts
payable or deliverable by the Counterparty under the ISDA Master Agreement in
the event that the Counterparty fails to make timely payment or delivery of such
amounts.
Upon the Swap Contract Administrator or the Trustee obtaining actual
knowledge of a Xxxxx'x First Level Downgrade or a S&P First Level Downgrade
(each as defined in the Swap Contract) with respect to the Counterparty or upon
the Swap Contract Administrator or the Trustee obtaining actual knowledge of a
Xxxxx'x Second Level Downgrade or a S&P Second Level Downgrade (each as defined
in the Swap Contract) with respect to the Counterparty, the Swap Contract
Administrator, at the direction of the Trustee, shall (i) demand payment of the
Delivery Amount (as defined in the Swap Contract) from the Counterparty on each
Valuation Date (as defined in the Swap Contract) and perform its other
obligations in accordance with the Swap Contract and (ii) take such other action
required under the Swap Contract. If a Delivery Amount is demanded, the Swap
Contract Administrator shall establish an account to hold cash and other
eligible investments pledged under the Swap Contract. Any such account shall be
an "Eligible Account" as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If
Eligible Collateral with a value equal to the Delivery Amount is not delivered
to the Swap Contract Administrator by the Counterparty, the Swap Contract
Administrator, at the direction of the Trustee, shall notify the Counterparty of
such failure.
In the event that the Swap Contract is terminated, CHL shall assist the
Swap Contract Administrator in procuring a replacement swap contract with terms
approximating those of the original Swap Contract, and the Swap Contract
Administrator shall enter into a replacement swap contract procured by CHL or
the Counterparty and continue to serve as Swap Contract Administrator pursuant
to the terms hereof. Any Swap Termination Payment received from the Counterparty
shall be used to pay any upfront amount required under any replacement swap
contract, and any excess shall be distributed to CHL. In the event that a
replacement swap contract cannot be procured, any Swap Termination Payment
received from the Counterparty in respect of the termination of the original
Swap Contract shall be held in the Swap Administration Account and distributed
as provided in Section 4.
In the event that a replacement swap is procured and the replacement
counterparty pays an upfront amount to the Swap Contract Administrator in
connection with the execution of the replacement swap contract, then (i) if that
upfront amount is not received prior to the Distribution Date on which any Swap
Termination Payment was due to the Counterparty under the original Swap
Contract, that upfront amount shall be held in the Swap Administration Account
and distributed as provided in Section 4, and (ii) if that upfront amount is
received prior to the Distribution Date on which any Swap Termination Payment is
due to the Counterparty under the original Swap Contract, the Swap Contract
Administrator shall remit to the Trustee, to be included in Interest Funds for
Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 2, the portion of such upfront amount equal to the
lesser of (x) such upfront amount and (y) the amount of the Swap Termination
Payment due to the Counterparty under the Original Swap Contract, to be
allocated between Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 2 pro rata based on their
respective Interest Funds for that Distribution Date. Any upfront amount paid by
a replacement counterparty that is not
5
remitted by the Swap Contract Administrator to the Trustee pursuant to clause
(ii) of the preceding sentence shall be distributed to CHL.
6. Monitoring of Significance Percentage. With respect to each
Distribution Date, the Swap Contract Administrator shall calculate the
"significance percentage" (as defined in Item 1115 of Subpart 229.1100 - Asset
Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. xx.xx. 229.1100-229.1123) of the
Swap Contract based on the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Benefited Certificates for such Distribution Date (after all distributions to be
made thereon on such Distribution Date) and based on the methodology provided in
writing by or on behalf of CHL no later than the fifth Business Day preceding
such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the Swap Contract
Administrator shall provide to CHL a written report (which written report may
include similar information with respect to other derivative instruments
relating to securitization transactions sponsored by CHL) specifying the
"significance percentage" of the Swap Contract for that Distribution Date. If
the "significance percentage" of the Swap Contract exceeds 7.0% with respect to
any Distribution Date, the Swap Contract Administrator shall make a separate
notation thereof in the written report described in the preceding sentence. Such
written report may contain such assumptions and disclaimers as are deemed
necessary and appropriate by the Swap Contract Administrator.
