have the meanings given to them in the Master Glossary of Defined Terms. In
addition, Section 1.04 (Rules of Construction) of the Indenture is

Section 2. Duties of Administrator.
(a) Duties Regarding Related Agreements. The Administrator agrees to
perform all of the following duties of the Trust and the Owner Trustee under
the Related Agreements:
(i) determine on behalf of the Trust whether any conditions
precedent to the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of the

(vi) take all appropriate action on behalf of the Trust regarding

Collateral, and each other material agreement of the Trust;
(vii) take all appropriate action on behalf of the Trust regarding
the preparation or review of supplements and amendments to the
Indenture, Financing Statements, Continuation Statements, instruments of
further assurance, and other instruments relating to the Collateral
under Section 3.05 of the Indenture;
(viii) on receipt, pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of the Indenture, of
an Officer's Certificate designating a person with whom the Trust has

Section 5.01 of the Indenture, to the Indenture Trustee and the Credit

Sale and Servicing Agreement.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrator shall consult with
the Owner Trustee as the Administrator deems appropriate regarding the duties
of the Trust and the Owner Trustee under the Related Agreements. The
Administrator shall monitor the performance of the Trust and the Owner Trustee
and shall perform any action necessary to comply with the Trust's or the Owner
Trustee's duties under the Related Agreements, unless it is instructed
otherwise by the Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall prepare for execution
by the Owner Trustee all documents, reports, filings, instruments,
certificates, and opinions that the Trust or the Owner Trustee is required to
prepare, file, or deliver pursuant to the Related Agreements.
(b) Additional Duties.
(i) The Administrator shall cooperate with any firm of independent
public accountants engaged by the Trust.
(ii) In carrying out any of its other obligations under this
Agreement, the Administrator may use any of its affiliates, so long as
the terms of their engagement are consistent with any written directions
of the Trust and are, in the Administrator's opinion, no less favorable
to the Trust than terms of engagement that would be available from
unaffiliated parties. If reasonably necessary to carry out duties or
other obligations contemplated by this Agreement, the Administrator may
engage counsel, agents, or attorneys-in-fact. The Administrator shall be
not responsible for the acts or omissions of any counsel, agents, or
attorneys-in-fact that were selected with reasonable care.
(iii) In addition to the above duties of the Administrator, the
Administrator shall perform such calculations and shall prepare for
execution by the Trust or the Owner Trustee all documents, reports,
filings, instruments, certificates, and opinions that the Trust or the
Owner Trustee is required to prepare, file, or deliver pursuant to state
and federal tax and securities laws.
(iv) The Administrator shall furnish to the Owner Trustee any
additional information regarding the Trust or the Related Agreements the
Owner Trustee reasonably requests.
(v) The Administrator agrees to perform the obligations imposed on
the "Administrator" under the Trust Agreement.
(vi) The Administrator shall prepare and deliver the Officer's
Certificate pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture.
(c) Non-Ministerial Matters.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Administrator shall not take any action on the following matters
without prior written instructions from the Trust (or the consent of the
Owner Trustee):
(1) approve any amendment or any supplement to the
Indenture;
(2) initiate any claim or lawsuit by the Trust or approve
the compromise of any action, claim, or lawsuit brought by or
against the Trust (other than in collecting the Collateral);
(3) change in any way the Related Agreements;
(4) appoint successor Note Registrars, successor Paying
Agents, or successor Indenture Trustees pursuant to the Indenture,
or appoint successor Administrators or successor Master Servicers
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or consent to the
assignment by the Note Registrar, Paying Agent, or Indenture
Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture; or
(5) remove the Indenture Trustee.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Administrator shall not be obligated to take any action that the
Trust directs the Administrator in writing not to take.
(d) Records. The Administrator shall maintain appropriate books of
account and records as required by law or the Related Agreements relating to
the Trust and relating to the Administrator's services performed under this
Agreement. These books of account and records shall be accessible for
inspection on written request by the Trust or the Owner Trustee at any time
during normal business hours.
Section 3. Compensation and Indemnity.
(a) As compensation for the performance of the Administrator's
obligations under this Agreement and as reimbursement for its expenses related
to this Agreement, the Administrator shall be entitled to $200 per month which
shall be solely an obligation of the Trust. The Administrator may, with prior
written notice to the Trust, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee, and the Owner Trustee, waive its rights to compensation
under this Agreement and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., as the initial
Administrator, hereby gives written notice to the Trust, the Transferor, the
Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Owner Trustee that until
further written notice to the contrary, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. waives
its right to receive compensation under this Agreement.
(b) The Trust shall indemnify the Administrator, its affiliates,
officers, directors, shareholders, agents, and employees against expenses,
losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges, and claims of any nature
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts)
arising from any acts or omissions performed or omitted by the Administrator,
its
affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents, or employees in good
faith in its capacity as Administrator under this Agreement and without
willful misfeasance, negligence, or reckless disregard of its duties under
this Agreement.
(c) The Administrator shall indemnify the Owner Trustee, its affiliates,
officers, directors, shareholders, agents, and employees against any losses,
liabilities, or expenses incurred without negligence or bad faith on their
part, arising out of or in connection with the Administrator's acceptance or
administration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
Related Agreements or the failure by the Administrator to perform its
obligations in accordance with this Agreement or the Related Agreements,
including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against
any claim or liability in connection with the performance of the Administrator
under this Agreement.
Section 4. Independence of Administrator.
For all purposes of this Agreement, the Administrator is an independent
contractor and is not subject to the supervision of the Trust or the Owner
Trustee as to the manner in which it performs its obligations under this

Administrator has no authority to act for or represent the Trust or the Owner
Trustee in any way and is not otherwise an agent of the Trust or the Owner
Trustee.

Administrator and either of the Trust or the Owner Trustee as members of any
partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business,
or other separate entity, (ii) shall be construed to impose any liability as
such on any of them, or (iii) shall confer on any of them any express,
implied, or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf
of the others.
Section 6. Other Activities of Administrator.
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Administrator or its
affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from
acting in a similar capacity as an administrator for any other person or
entity even though that person or entity may engage in business activities
similar to those of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee.
Section 7. Term of Agreement; Resignation and Removal of Administrator.

Sale and Servicing Agreement, when this Agreement shall automatically
terminate.

Enhancer, the Trust may remove the Administrator without cause on sixty days
written notice to the Administrator.
(d) Subject to Section 7(e), at the sole option of the Trust and with
the written consent of the Credit Enhancer, the Administrator may be removed
immediately on written notice of termination from the Trust to the
Administrator if any of the following events occur:
(i) the Administrator defaults in the performance of any of its
duties under this Agreement and, within ten days after notice of the
default, either (A) fails to cure it or (B) if the default cannot be
cured in that time period, fails to give any assurance of cure that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Trust; or
(ii) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Administrator.
If an Insolvency Event occurs, the Administrator shall notify the Trust,
the Credit Enhancer, and the Indenture Trustee of the event within seven days
after its occurrence.
(e) No resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to this
Section shall be effective until (i) a successor Administrator has been
appointed by the Trust and (ii) the successor Administrator has assumed all
the obligations of the Administrator under this Agreement. The Trust shall use
reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Administrator promptly following any
resignation or removal. The appointment of any successor Administrator shall
be effective only after satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition regarding
the proposed appointment.
(f) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to assume the duties of the
Administrator under this Agreement or under the other Related Agreements.
Section 8. Action upon Termination, Resignation, or Removal.
Promptly on the effective date of termination of this Agreement or the
resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 7, the
Administrator shall be entitled to be paid all fees and reimbursable expenses
accruing to it until the date of termination, resignation, or removal. When
this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 7, the Administrator shall
forthwith deliver to the Trust all property and documents relating to the
Collateral then in the custody of the Administrator. Upon the resignation or
removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 7, the Administrator shall
cooperate with the Trust and take all reasonable steps requested to assist the
Trust in making an orderly transfer of the duties of the Administrator.
Section 9. Notices.
All notices, demands, instructions, consents, and other communications
required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by
the party giving the same and
shall be personally delivered or sent by first class or express mail (postage
prepaid), national overnight courier service, or by facsimile transmission or
other electronic communication device capable of transmitting or creating a
written record (confirmed by first class mail) and shall be considered to be
given for purposes of this Agreement on the day that the writing is delivered
when personally delivered or sent by facsimile or overnight courier or three
Business Days after it was sent to its intended recipient if sent by first
class mail. A facsimile has been delivered when the sending machine issues an
electronic confirmation of transmission. Unless otherwise specified in a
notice sent or delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
notices, demands, instructions, consents, and other communications in writing
shall be given to or made on the respective parties at their addresses
indicated in Related Documents (in the case of the initial Administrator, its
address is the same as the address of the Master Servicer) or to any other
address any party provides to the other parties in writing.
Section 10. Payment and Indemnity of the Indenture Trustee.
The Master Servicer has agreed to pay the Indenture Trustee fees for its
services as indenture trustee and to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for
expenses pursuant to a separate agreement with the Indenture Trustee. The
Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers,
directors, employees, and agents against any loss, liability, or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by it in
connection with the administration of this trust not attributable to its
negligence or bad faith.
The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so
notify the Master Servicer shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its
obligations under this Section except to the extent the Master Servicer is
prejudiced by the failure. The Master Servicer will be entitled to participate
in any indemnifiable claim and to assume its defense with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee. After the Master Servicer notifies the
Indenture Trustee of its election to assume the defense of the indemnifiable
claim, the Master Servicer will not be liable for any further legal expenses
of the Indenture Trustee other than reasonable costs of investigation, except
that the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Master Servicer
shall pay its fees and expenses if the Master Servicer is also a named party
in the proceeding and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate because of differing interests between them. After the notice
from the Master Servicer to the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer will
not be liable for the costs of any settlement of the action effected by the
Indenture Trustee without the consent of the Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier
resignation or discharge of the Indenture Trustee.
Section 11. Amendments.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Trust and the
Administrator, with the consent of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee, if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied (in connection with which
the consent of the Credit Enhancer shall not be
unreasonably withheld). This Agreement may also be amended from time to time
by the Trust and the Administrator, with the consent of the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), and Holders of not less than 66(2)/3% of the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Notes.
Section 12. Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement may not be assigned by the Administrator unless the Trust
and the Indenture Trustee consent to the assignment in writing and the Rating
Agency Condition has been satisfied. An assignment satisfying the conditions
in the preceding sentence shall, if accepted by the assignee under this
Agreement, bind that assignee in the same manner as the Administrator is bound
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be
assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Trust or the
Indenture Trustee to a corporation or other organization that is a successor
(by merger, consolidation, or purchase of assets) to the Administrator if the
Rating Agency Condition is satisfied and the successor organization executes
and delivers to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee an
agreement in which that organization agrees to be bound under this Agreement
in the same manner as the Administrator is bound under this Agreement. Subject
to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the
parties hereto.
Section 13. Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS PROVISIONS THAT
WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER STATE.
Section 14. Headings.
The section headings of this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect this
Agreement.
Section 15. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall together constitute but one agreement.
Section 16. Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of that prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable that provision in any other
jurisdiction.
Section 17. Not Applicable to Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. in Other
Capacities.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any obligation Countrywide Home
Loans, Inc. may have in any other capacity under the Related Agreements.

obligations of the Trust under this Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall be
subject to, and entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement.

which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Trust.
Section 19. Limitation of Liability of Administrator and Standard of
Care.

other than to render the services called for under this Agreement in good
faith and without willful misfeasance, gross negligence, or reckless disregard
of its duties under this Agreement. The Administrator shall incur no liability
to anyone in acting on any signature, instrument, statement, notice,
resolution, request, direction, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion,
bond, or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and reasonably
believed by it to be signed by the proper parties. Neither the Administrator
nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents, or
employees will be liable under this Agreement to the Trust, the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Transferor, or others, except
for acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross
negligence, or reckless disregard of the Administrator's duties under this
Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, this Agreement has been executed by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., as
Administrator (and for Section 10, as the Master Servicer). Countrywide Home
Loans, Inc. shall not have any liability in its individual or any other
capacity for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, or other
obligations of the Trust or any other party to this Agreement or in any of the
Related Agreements.
Section 20. Third-Party Beneficiary.
Each of the Owner Trustee and the Credit Enhancer is a third-party
beneficiary to this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits under
this Agreement and may enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if it were
a party to this Agreement.
