The
Swap

On
the
Business Day of receipt of any notices, information or reports received by
the
Swap Contract Administrator from the Counterparty, the Swap Contract
Administrator shall provide the same to the Trustee, including without
limitation information regarding any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination
Payment that will be payable by the Swap Contract Administrator to the

for
which the Swap Contract Administrator has the right to designate an Early

5. Control
Rights; Credit Support Annex; Replacement Swap Contract.
The
Trustee shall have the right to direct the Swap Contract Administrator with

to designate an Early Termination Date following an Event of Default (each
such
term as defined in the Swap Contract)).
The
Swap
Contract Administrator, at the written direction of the Trustee, shall demand
payment of the Delivery Amount (as defined in the ISDA Credit Support Annex).
In
addition, on or before the Closing Date the Swap Contract Administrator shall
establish the Swap Collateral Account to hold cash or other eligible investments

Account may be invested. The Swap Collateral Account shall be an “Eligible
Account” as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any cash or other
eligible investments pledged under an ISDA Credit Support Annex shall not
be
part of the Swap Administration Account unless they are applied in accordance
with such ISDA Credit Support Annex to make a payment due to the Swap Contract

Default or an Additional Termination Event has occurred with respect to which
the Counterparty is the defaulting or sole Affected Party or (y) an Early
Termination Date has been designated, in which case such investment shall
be
held uninvested). Gains and losses incurred in respect of any investment
of
Posted Collateral in the form of Cash in Permitted Investments as directed
by
the Counterparty shall be for the account of the
Counterparty.
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 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 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. §§
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.
