The assets of REMIC II shall include the Home Equity Loans, the Accounts (other than the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund), any REO Property and any proceeds of the foregoing. The REMIC II Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC I.

(b) REMIC II will be evidenced by (x) the Class II-AF-1, Class II-AF-2, Class II-AF-3, Class II-AF-4, Class II-AF-5, Class II-AF-6, Class II-MF-1, Class II-MF-2 and Class II-BF, and Class II-QF Interests (the "Group I REMIC II Regular Interests") and the Class II-AV, Class II-MV-1, Class II-MV-2, Class II-BV and Class II-QV Interests (the "Group II REMIC II Regular Interests") (collectively, the "REMIC II Regular Interests"), which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC II and (y) the Class R-2 Certificates, which are hereby designated as the single "residual interest" in REMIC II (the REMIC II Regular Interests, together with the Class R-2 Certificates, the "REMIC II Certificates"). The REMIC II Regular Interests shall be recorded on the records of REMIC II as being issued to and held by the Trustee on behalf of REMIC I.

Any Subordination Increase Amount for the Group I Home Equity Loans that is used to pay an amount to the Group I Offered Certificates pursuant to Section 7.03(b)(C)(1) (the "Turbo Amount") and that is payable from interest on the Group I Home Equity Loans will not be paid as principal to the REMIC II Regular Interests, but instead a portion of the interest otherwise payable with respect to the Class II-QF Interest which equals .01% of the Turbo Amount will be payable as a reduction of the principal balances of the Group I REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class II-QF Interests), in the same manner in which the Turbo Amount is allocated among the Group I Offered Certificates, respectively (and will be accrued and added to principal on the Class II-QF Interests in the same proportion as interest otherwise payable on such Group I REMIC II Regular Interests is used to reduce principal on other Group I REMIC II Regular Interests as just described). Any Subordination Increase Amount for the Group II Home Equity Loans that is used to pay an amount to the Group II Offered Certificates pursuant to Section 7.03(b)(C)(1) (the "Turbo Amount") and that is payable from interest on the Group II Home Equity Loans will not be paid as principal to the REMIC II Regular Interests, but instead a portion of the interest otherwise payable with respect to the Class II-QV Interest which equals .01% of the Turbo Amount will be payable as a reduction of the principal balances of the Group II REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class II-QV Interests), in the same manner in which the Turbo Amount is allocated among the Group II Offered Certificates, respectively (and will be accrued and added to principal on the Class II-QV Interests in the same proportion as interest otherwise payable on such Group II REMIC II Regular Interests is used to reduce principal on other Group II REMIC II Regular Interests as just described).

Principal payments on the Group I Home Equity Loans shall be allocated 99.99% to the Class II-QF Interests and .01% to the Group I REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class II-QF Interests) until paid in full. The aggregate amount of principal allocated to the Group I REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class II-QF Interests) shall be apportioned among such Group I REMIC II Regular Interests in the same manner in which principal is payable with respect to the Group I Offered Certificates, respectively. Notwithstanding the above, principal payments on the Group I Home Equity Loans that are attributable to the Overcollateralization Release Amount shall be allocated to the Class II-QF Interests. Principal payments on the Group II Home Equity Loans shall be allocated 99.99% to the Class II-QV Interests and .01% to the Group II REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class II-QV Interests) until paid in full. The aggregate amount of principal allocated to the Group II REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class II-QV Interests) shall be apportioned among such Group II REMIC II Regular Interests in the same manner in which principal is payable with respect to the Group II offered Certificates, respectively. Notwithstanding the above, principal payments on the Group II Home Equity Loans that are attributable to the Overcollateralization Release Amount shall be allocated to the Class II-QV Interests.

Realized Losses shall be applied such that after all distributions have been made on such Distribution Date: (i) the principal balances of each of the Group I REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class II-QF Interests) are each .01% of the principal balances of the Group I Offered Certificates, respectively; and (ii) the remaining losses shall be allocated to the Class II-QF Interests. Realized Losses shall be applied such that after all distributions have been made on such Distribution Date: (i) the principal balances of each of the Group II REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class II-QV Interests) are each .01% of the principal balances of the Group II Offered Certificates, respectively; and (ii) the remaining losses shall be allocated to the Class II-QV Interests.

The REMIC II Certificates will have the following designations and Certificate Rates, and distributions of principal and interest thereon shall be allocated to the Certificates in the following manner:

Upon the earliest to occur of CHEC's discovery, its receipt of notice of breach from any one of the other parties or such time as a situation resulting from an existing statement which is untrue materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners, without regard to any limitation set forth therein concerning the knowledge of CHEC as to the facts stated therein, CHEC hereby covenants and warrants that it shall promptly cure such breach in all material respects or that it shall on or before the second Monthly Remittance Date next succeeding such discovery, receipt of notice or such time (i) substitute in lieu of each Home Equity Loan which has given rise to the requirement for action by CHEC a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and deliver the Substitution Amount to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Home Equity Loan from the Trust at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account.

In the event that any Qualified Replacement Mortgage is delivered by the Seller to the Trust pursuant to Section 3.04 or Section 3.06 hereof, the Seller shall be obligated to take the actions described in Section 3.04(a) with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage upon the discovery by any of the Depositor, the Owners, the Seller, the Conduit Sellers, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Custodian or the Trustee that the statements set forth in subsection (b) above are untrue in any material respect, without regard to any limitation set forth therein concerning the knowledge of the Seller or the Servicer as to facts stated therein, on the date such Qualified Replacement Mortgage is conveyed to the Trust, such that the interests of the Owners in the related Qualified Replacement Mortgage are, or may be, materially and adversely affected; provided, however, that for the purposes of this subsection (c) the statements in subsection (b) above referring to items "as of the Cut-Off Date" or "as of the Startup Day" shall be deemed to refer to such items as of the Replacement Cut-Off Date or as of the date such Qualified Replacement Mortgage is conveyed to the Trust, respectively. Notwithstanding the fact that a representation contained in subsection (b) above may be limited to the Seller's or the Servicer's knowledge, such limitation shall not relieve CHEC of its substitution or repurchase obligation under this Section and Section 3.06 hereof.

(d) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 3.04 shall survive delivery of the respective Home Equity Loans (including Qualified Replacement Mortgages) to the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee.

(e) The Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase or substitution of any Home Equity Loan pursuant to this Article III or the eligibility of any Home Equity Loan for the purpose of this Agreement.

Section 3.05. Sale Treatment of the Home Equity Loans and Qualified Replacement Mortgages.

(a) The transfer by the Seller and the Conduit Sellers to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Home Equity Loans set forth on the applicable Schedule of Home Equity Loans is absolute and is intended by the Owners and all parties hereto to be treated as a sale by the Seller, the Conduit Sellers and the Depositor.

In the event that any such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, the parties intend that each of the Seller and the Conduit Sellers shall be deemed to have granted to the Depositor and the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a security interest in the Trust Estate, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(b) In connection with the transfer and assignment of the Home Equity Loans, CHEC agrees to:

(i) deliver without recourse to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, on the Startup Day with respect to each Home Equity Loan, (A) the original Note endorsed in blank or to the order of the Trustee ("Pay to the order of Bank One, National Association, as Trustee for Centex Home Equity Loan Trust 2002-A, without recourse") and signed by manual signature of the Seller, the Conduit Seller or the Conduit Seller II, as applicable, (B) either (1) if the original title insurance policy is not available, the original title insurance commitment or a copy thereof certified as a true copy by the closing agent or CHEC, and when available, the original title insurance policy or a copy certified by the issuer of the title insurance policy, (2) if title insurance is not available in the applicable state, the attorney's opinion of title, or (3) for a Home Equity Loan the original principal balance of which was equal to or less than $40,000, a title report and indemnity, (C) originals or copies of all intervening assignments certified as true copies by the closing agent or CHEC, showing a complete chain of title from origination to the Seller or either of the Conduit Sellers, if any, including warehousing assignments, if recorded, (D) originals of all assumption and modification agreements, if any, (E) either: (1) the original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon (if such original Mortgage has been returned to the Seller or either of the Conduit Sellers, as applicable, from the applicable recording office), or a copy of the Mortgage certified as a true copy by the closing agent or an Authorized Officer of CHEC, or (2) a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public recording office in those instances where the original recorded Mortgage has been lost and (F) the original assignments of Mortgages (as described in clause (b)(ii)) in recordable form and acceptable for recording in the state or other jurisdiction where the Property is located;

(ii) cause, within 60 days following the Startup Day with respect to the Home Equity Loans, assignments of the Mortgages from the Seller or either of the Conduit Sellers, as applicable, to "Bank One, National Association, as Trustee of Centex Home Equity Loan Trust 2002-A under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of January 1, 2002" to be submitted for recording in the appropriate jurisdictions; provided, further, that CHEC shall not be required to record an assignment of a Mortgage if CHEC furnishes to the Trustee, on or before the Startup Day, at CHEC's expense, an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the relevant jurisdiction that such recording is not necessary to perfect the Trustee's interest in the related Home Equity Loans (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies); provided further, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any legal opinions, each assignment of Mortgage shall be recorded by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee at the expense of CHEC upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, (ii) if the Seller is not the Servicer and with respect to any one assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage, or (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller, the Conduit Seller or the Conduit Seller II, as applicable;

(iii) deliver the title insurance policy or title searches or reports, the original Mortgages and such recorded assignments, together with originals or duly certified copies of any and all prior assignments (other than unrecorded warehouse assignments), to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, within 15 days of receipt thereof by CHEC, but in any event, with respect to any Mortgage as to which original recording information has been made available to the Seller or the Conduit Sellers, within one year after the Startup Day; and

(iv) furnish to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, at CHEC's expense, an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the sale and perfection of the Home Equity Loans delivered to the Trust.

In instances where the original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by CHEC to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement due to a delay in connection with recording, CHEC may in lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage, deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee a copy thereof, provided that CHEC certifies that the original Mortgage has been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of its policy of title insurance or binder therefor. In all such instances, CHEC will deliver or cause to be delivered the original recorded Mortgage to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original recorded Mortgage but in no event later than one year after the Startup Day.

CHEC hereby confirms to the Trustee that it has made the appropriate entries in its general records to indicate that such Home Equity Loans have been transferred to the Trustee and constitute part of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the trust created hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.05, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage, the assignment of a Mortgage or the intervening assignments of the Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Depositor and each of the Sellers shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of a copy of such Mortgage, such assignment or assignments of Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded original thereof.

Not later than ten days following the end of the 60-day period referred in clause (b)(ii) above, CHEC shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, with a copy to the Trustee, a list of all Mortgages for which no Mortgage assignment has yet been submitted for recording by CHEC, which list shall state the reason why CHEC has not yet submitted such Mortgage assignments for recording. With respect to any Mortgage assignment disclosed on such list as not yet submitted for recording for a reason other than a lack of original recording information, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make an immediate demand on CHEC to prepare such Mortgage assignments. Thereafter, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall cooperate in executing any documents submitted to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee in connection with this provision. Following the expiration of the 60-day period referred to in clause (b)(ii) above, CHEC shall promptly prepare a Mortgage assignment for any Mortgage for which original recording information is subsequently received by CHEC, and shall promptly deliver a copy of such Mortgage assignment to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee. CHEC agrees that it will follow its normal servicing procedures and attempt to obtain the original recording information necessary to complete a Mortgage assignment. In the event that CHEC is unable to obtain such recording information with respect to any Mortgage prior to the end of the 18th calendar month following the Startup Day and has not provided to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a Mortgage assignment with evidence of recording thereon relating to the assignment of such Mortgage to the Trustee, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall notify CHEC of its obligation to provide a completed assignment (with evidence of recording thereon) on or before the end of the 20th calendar month following the Startup Day. If no such completed assignment (with evidence of recording thereon) is provided before the end of such 20th calendar month, the related Home Equity Loan shall be deemed to have breached the representation contained in clause (xxii) of Section 3.04(b) hereof. The requirement to deliver a completed assignment with evidence of recording thereon will be deemed satisfied upon delivery of a copy of the completed assignment certified by the applicable public recording office.

Copies of all Mortgage assignments received by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall be retained in the related File.

All recording required pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be accomplished at the expense of CHEC.

(c) In the case of Home Equity Loans which have been prepaid in full on or after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Startup Day, CHEC, in lieu of the foregoing, will deliver within six (6) days after the Startup Day to the Trustee a certification of an Authorized Officer in the form set forth in Exhibit D.

(d) CHEC shall transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey, without recourse, to the Trustee all right, title and interest of CHEC in and to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust by CHEC pursuant to Section 3.04 or 3.06 hereof and all its right, title and interest to principal and interest due on such Qualified Replacement Mortgage on and after the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date; provided, however, that CHEC shall reserve and retain all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal and interest due on such Qualified Replacement Mortgage prior to the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date.

(e) As to each Home Equity Loan released from the Trust in connection with a repurchase thereof or the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage therefor, the Trustee will transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse or representation, on CHEC's order, all of its right, title and interest in and to such released Home Equity Loan and all the Trust's right, title and interest to principal and interest due on such released Home Equity Loan after the applicable repurchase date or Replacement Cut-Off Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Trust shall reserve and or and retain all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal and interest due on such released Home Equity Loan prior to such repurchase date or Replacement Cut-Off Date, as the case may be.

(f) In connection with any transfer and assignment of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, CHEC agrees to (i) deliver or cause to be delivered without recourse to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee on the date of delivery of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage the original Note relating thereto, endorsed in blank or to the order of the Trustee, (ii) cause promptly to be recorded an assignment in the appropriate jurisdictions, (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered the original Qualified Replacement Mortgage and such recorded assignment, together with original or duly certified copies of any and all prior assignments, to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee within 15 days of receipt thereof by CHEC (but in any event within 120 days after the date of conveyance of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage) and (iv) deliver the title insurance policy, or where no such policy is required to be provided under Section 3.05(b)(i)(B), the other evidence of title required in Section 3.05(b)(i)(B).

(g) As to each Home Equity Loan released from the Trust in connection with a repurchase or the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver on the date of such repurchase or conveyance of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage and on the order of CHEC (i) the original Note relating thereto, endorsed, without recourse or representation, in blank or to the order of CHEC, (ii) the original Mortgage so released and all assignments relating thereto and (iii) such other documents as constituted the File with respect thereto.

(h) If a Mortgage assignment is lost during the process of recording, or is returned from the recorder's office unrecorded due to a defect therein, CHEC shall prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly recorded.

Section 3.06. Acceptance by Trustee; Certain Substitutions of Home Equity Loans; Certification by Trustee.

(a) The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver and the Trustee agrees to cause the Custodian to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trustee on the Startup Day an acknowledgment of receipt of the items delivered by CHEC in the forms attached as Exhibits E-1 and E-2 hereto, respectively, and declares through the Custodian that it will hold such documents and any amendments, replacement or supplements thereto, as well as any other assets included in the definition of Trust Estate and delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, as Trustee in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the benefit of the Owners. The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Owners, to cause the Custodian to review such items within 45 days after the Startup Day (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage, within 45 days after the assignment thereof) and to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Conduit Sellers, the Servicer and the Trustee a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a "Pool Certification") to the effect that, as to each Home Equity Loan listed in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans (other than any Home Equity Loan paid in full or any Home Equity Loan specifically identified in such Pool Certification as not covered by such Pool Certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(i) of this Agreement have been executed and are in its possession and that the Notes have been endorsed as set forth in Section 3.05(b)(i) hereof, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Home Equity Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth on the Schedule of Home Equity Loans accurately reflects the information set forth in the File, except as may be indicated in an exception report in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J ("Exception Report"), such Exception Report to be provided electronically concurrently with the delivery of the Pool Certification to the e-mail addresses specified by the recipients. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall have no responsibility for reviewing any File except as expressly provided in this subsection 3.06(a). Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, in reviewing any File, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment is in proper form (except to determine if the Trustee is the assignee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, but shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports to be recorded. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, nor shall the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, be under any duty to determine independently whether there are any intervening assignments or assumption or modification agreements with respect to any Home Equity Loan.

(b) If the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee during such 45-day period finds any document constituting a part of a File which is not executed, has not been received, or is unrelated to the Home Equity Loans identified in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans, or that any Home Equity Loan does not conform to the description thereof as set forth in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Depositor, CHEC and the Owners. In performing any such review, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee may conclusively rely on CHEC as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the review of the items delivered by CHEC pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(i) is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section 3.05(b)(i) have been executed and received, relate to the Files identified in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans and conform to the description thereof in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans. CHEC agrees to use reasonable efforts to remedy a material defect in a document constituting part of a File of which it is so notified by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee. If, however, within 90 days after such notice to it respecting such defect CHEC has not remedied the defect and the defect materially and adversely affects the interest in the related Home Equity Loan of the Owners, CHEC will (or will cause an Affiliate to) on the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date (i) substitute in lieu of such Home Equity Loan a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and deliver the Substitution Amount to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Home Equity Loan at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account. In connection with any proposed purchase or substitution of a Home Equity Loan, CHEC shall cause at its expense to be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters stating whether or not such a proposed purchase or substitution would constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or would jeopardize the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC, and CHEC shall only be required to take either such action to the extent such action would not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust and would not jeopardize the status of such REMIC as a REMIC. Any required purchase or substitution, if delayed by the absence of such opinion, shall nonetheless occur upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a default or imminent default with respect to the Home Equity Loan or (ii) the delivery of such opinion.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee also agrees to make a review during the 12th month after the Startup Day indicating the current status of the exceptions previously indicated on the Exception Report delivered electronically concurrently with the Pool Certification (the "Final Certification") and, by the end of the 12th month after the Startup Day, deliver electronically to the Depositor, the Seller, the Conduit Sellers, the Servicer and the Trustee (to the e-mail addresses specified by the recipients) such Final Certification. After delivery of the Final Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee and the Servicer shall provide electronically to the Trustee (to the e-mail address specified by the Trustee) no less frequently than monthly updated certifications indicating the then current status of exceptions, until all such exceptions have been eliminated.

The fees and expenses of the Custodian will be paid by the Servicer.

If, pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall request written instructions from the Trustee, the Trustee hereby agrees to promptly provide such instructions.

Section 3.09. Cooperation Procedures. CHEC shall, in connection with the delivery of each Qualified Replacement Mortgage to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, provide the Trustee with information set forth in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage.

(a) The Seller, the Conduit Sellers, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee covenant to provide each other with all data and information required to be provided by them hereunder at the times required hereunder, and additionally covenant reasonably to cooperate with each other in providing any additional information required to be obtained by any of them in connection with their respective duties hereunder.

(b) The Servicer shall maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each File as shall enable it and the Trustee to comply with this Agreement. In performing its recordkeeping duties the Servicer shall act in accordance with the servicing standards set forth in this Agreement. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of its accounts, records and computer systems as set forth in Sections 8.16 and 8.17 hereof. The Servicer shall promptly report in writing to the Trustee any failure on its part to maintain its accounts, records and computer systems herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

(c) CHEC further confirms to the Trustee that it has caused the portions of the electronic ledger relating to the Home Equity Loans to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that such Home Equity Loans have been sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed through the Depositor to the Trustee and constitute part of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the trust created hereunder.

The initial Certificates shall be dated as of the Startup Day and delivered at the Closing to the parties specified in Section 4.02 hereof. Subsequently issued Certificates will be dated as of the issuance of the Certificate.

No Certificate shall be valid until executed and authenticated as set forth above.

Section 5.04. Registration and Transfer of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept a register (the "Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and the registration of transfer of Certificates. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers of Certificates as herein provided. The Depositor, the Owners and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Register upon reasonable notice during the Trustee's normal hours and to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Registrar by an Authorized Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Owners of the Certificates and the principal amounts and numbers of such Certificates.

If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed as Registrar by the Owners of a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights represented by the Certificates then Outstanding, such Owners shall give the Trustee and the Owners prompt written notice of the appointment of such Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Register. In connection with any such appointment the reasonable fees of the Registrar shall be paid, as expenses of the Trust, pursuant to Section 7.06 hereof.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.08 hereof, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office designated as the location of the Register, upon the direction of the Registrar, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like Class and in the aggregate outstanding principal amount or Percentage Interest of the Certificate so surrendered.

(c) At the option of any Owner, Certificates of any Class owned by such Owner may be exchanged for other Certificates authorized of like Class and tenor and a like aggregate outstanding principal amount or Percentage Interest and bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office designated as the location of the Register. Whenever any Certificate is so surrendered for exchange, upon the direction of the Registrar, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificate or Certificates which the Owner making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(d) All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates shall be valid evidence of the same ownership interests in the Trust and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(e) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(f) No service charge shall be made to an Owner for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Registrar or Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates; any other expenses in connection with such transfer or exchange shall be an expense of the Trust.

(g) It is intended that the Offered Certificates be registered so as to participate in a global book-entry system with the Depository, as set forth herein. Each Class of Offered Certificates shall, except as otherwise provided in Subsection (h), be initially issued in the form of a single fully registered Offered Certificate of such Class. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Offered Certificate shall be registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for the Depository.

On the Startup Day, the Offered Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Depositor and the Trustee are hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Representation Letter with the Depository in the form provided to the Trustee by the Depositor.

With respect to the Offered Certificates registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to Direct or Indirect Participants or beneficial owners for which the Depository holds Offered Certificates from time to time as a Depository. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, Cede & Co., or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect to the ownership interest in the Offered Certificates, (ii) the delivery to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Owner of an Offered Certificate as shown in the Register, of any notice with respect to the Offered Certificates or (iii) the payment to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Owner of an Offered Certificate as shown in the Register, of any amount with respect to any distribution of principal or interest on the Offered Certificates. No Person other than a registered Owner of an Offered Certificate as shown in the Register shall receive a certificate evidencing such Offered Certificate.

Upon delivery by the Depository to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the payment of interest by the mailing of checks or drafts to the registered Owners of Offered Certificates appearing as registered Owners in the registration books maintained by the Trustee at the close of business on a Record Date, the name "Cede & Co." in this Agreement shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository.

(h) In the event that (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with respect to the Offered Certificates and either of CHEC or the Trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its sole option elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the beneficial owners of each Class of Offered Certificates representing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of such Class advises the Trustee and Depository through the Direct or Indirect Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Owners is no longer in the best interests of the Owners, the Offered Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co. (or a successor nominee) as nominee of the Depository. In the case of (i) and (ii) above, CHEC may determine that the Offered Certificates shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a global book-entry system, as may be acceptable to the CHEC and at the expense of CHEC, or such depository's agent or designee but, if CHEC does not select such alternative global book-entry system and in the case of (iii) above, the Offered Certificates may be registered in whatever name or names registered Owners of Offered Certificates transferring Offered Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Offered Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, all distributions of principal or interest on such Offered Certificates and all notices with respect to such Offered Certificates shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.

Section 5.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) in the case of any mutilated Certificate, such mutilated Certificate shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, there shall be first delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by it to hold the Trustee harmless (provided, that with respect to an Owner which is an institutional investor, a letter of indemnity furnished by it shall be sufficient for this purpose), then, in the absence of written notice to the Trustee or the Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Registrar or Trustee may require the payment from the transferor or transferee of the related Certificate of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; any other expenses in connection with such issuance shall be an expense of the Trust.

Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute evidence of a substitute interest in the Trust, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates of the same Class duly issued hereunder and such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

Section 5.06. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the Owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions with respect to such Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 5.07. Cancellation.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. No Certificate shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificate canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All canceled Certificates may be held by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy in effect from time to time.

Section 5.08. Limitation on Transfer of Ownership Rights.

(a) No sale or other transfer of record or beneficial ownership of a Class R Certificate (whether pursuant to a purchase, a transfer resulting from a default under a secured lending agreement or otherwise) shall be made to a Disqualified Organization or an agent of a Disqualified Organization. The transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class R Certificate (whether pursuant to a purchase, a transfer resulting from a default under a secured lending agreement or otherwise) to a Disqualified Organization shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such transferee shall not be deemed to be an Owner for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Class R Certificate. Furthermore, in no event shall the Trustee accept surrender for transfer, registration of transfer, or register the transfer, of any Class R Certificate nor authenticate and make available any new Class R Certificate unless the Trustee has received an affidavit from the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. Each holder of a Class R Certificate by his acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this Section 5.08(a).

(b) No other sale or other transfer of record or beneficial ownership of a Class X-IO or Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Securities Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer: (i) in the case of transfers for which an investment letter in the form of Exhibit I-1 or I-2 is provided by the transferee to the Trustee, the Trustee or the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Securities Act or is being made pursuant to said Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Estate; and (ii) in the case of transfers for which an investment letter in the form of Exhibit I-1 or I-2 is provided, the investment letter shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Estate. The Owner of a Class X-IO or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Sellers against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(c) No transfer of a Class X-IO or Class R Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either: (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Class X-IO or Class R Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (which may be combined with the investment letter required by subsection (b) above), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA nor a plan or other arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA nor a plan or other arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a "Plan"), nor is acting on behalf of any Plan nor using the assets of any Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) in the event that any Class X-IO or Class R Certificate is purchased by a Plan, or by a person or entity acting on behalf of any Plan or using the assets of any Plan to effect such transfer (including the assets of any Plan held in an insurance company separate or general account), an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Estate, to the effect that the purchase or holding of any Class X-IO or Class R Certificates will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the Trustee to any obligation or liability in addition to those expressly undertaken under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Certificate to or on behalf of any Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel as described above shall be null and void and of no effect.

(d) Reserved.

(e) No sale or other transfer of any Class X-IO Certificates or Class R Certificate may be made to the Depositor, to any Person that was, at any time, an owner of a Home Equity Loan, or to any Seller except in connection with (1) with respect to the Depositor, the initial issuance of such Certificates by the Trust to the Depositor and, with respect to CHEC and the Conduit Sellers, the payment in partial consideration for the Home Equity Loans sold by the applicable Seller or in payment of any deferred purchase price under the Conduit Warehousing Facility or Conduit II Warehousing Facility by the Conduit Sellers to CHEC on the Startup Day and (2) the contemporaneous transfer of such Certificates to CHEC Residual, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.08, the Class R Certificates and Class X-IO Certificates may be transferred to CHEC Residual, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller, without regard to Sections 5.08(b), (c) or (e) above.

Section 5.09. Assignment of Rights.

Other than with respect to any Class R Certificates (unless the Trustee shall have received a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action with respect to a Class R Certificate will not have an adverse effect on the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a "REMIC") an Owner may pledge, encumber, hypothecate or assign all or any part of its right to receive distributions hereunder, but such pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or assignment shall not constitute a transfer of an ownership interest sufficient to render the transferee an Owner of the Trust without compliance with the provisions of Section 5.04 and Section 5.08 hereof.

ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS

Section 6.01. Distributions.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will withdraw amounts from the Certificate Account and make the distributions with respect to the Certificates in accordance with the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement. Such distributions shall be made (i) in the case of the Offered Certificates registered in the name of the Depository, by wire transfer to the Depository or (ii) in each other case, by check or draft mailed on each Distribution Date or, if requested by any Owner (other than the Depository) of (A) an Offered Certificate having an original principal balance of not less than $1,000,000 or (B) a Class X-IO or Class R Certificate having a Percentage Interest of not less than 10% in writing not later than one Business Day prior to the applicable Record Date (which request does not have to be repeated unless it has been withdrawn), to such Owner by wire transfer to an account within the United States designated no later than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, in each case to each Owner of record on the immediately preceding Record Date.

Section 6.02. Money for Distributions to be Held in Trust; Withholding.

(a) All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Certificate that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Certificate Account shall be made by and on behalf of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Certificate Account for payments of Certificates shall be paid over to the Trustee except as provided in this Section.

(b) If CHEC has appointed a Paying Agent pursuant to Section 11.15 hereof, the Trustee will, on the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, deposit with such Paying Agent in immediately available funds an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Certificates (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Certificate Account for the Class to which such amounts are due) such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Owners entitled thereto.

(c) CHEC may at any time direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

(d) CHEC shall require the Paying Agent, including the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, to comply with all requirements of the Code and applicable state and local law with respect to the withholding from any distributions made by it to any Owner of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith, and the Trustee and Paying Agent agree to comply with such requirements.

(e) Any money held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Offered Certificate remaining unclaimed by the Owner of such Certificate for the period then specified in the escheat laws of the State of New York after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid, upon delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that such payment is permitted by applicable law, to the Depositor; and the Owner of such Offered Certificate shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Depositor for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Depositor) and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent before being required to make any such payment, may at the expense of the Trust cause to be published once, in the eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall be not fewer than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Depositor. The Trustee shall, at the written direction of CHEC, also adopt and employ, at the expense of CHEC, any other reasonable means of notification of such payment (including but not limited to mailing notice of such payment to Owners whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Registrar, the Trustee or any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Owner).

Section 6.03. Protection of Trust Estate.

(a) The Trustee will hold the Trust Estate in trust for the benefit of the Owners and at the request of the Depositor, will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto pursuant to Section 11.14 hereof and all instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action upon such request from the Depositor, to:

(ii) perfect, publish notice of, or protect the validity of any grant made or to be made by this Agreement;

(iii) enforce any of the Home Equity Loans; or

(iv) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the Trustee, and the ownership interests of the Owners represented thereby, in such Trust Estate against the claims of all Persons and parties.

(b) The Trustee shall have the power to enforce, and shall enforce the obligations and rights of the other parties to this Agreement, and of the Owners, by action, suit or proceeding at law or equity, and shall also have the power to enjoin, by action or suit in equity, any acts or occurrences which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Owners as such rights are set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall require any action by the Trustee unless the Trustee shall first (i) have been furnished indemnity satisfactory to it and (ii) when required by this Agreement, have been requested by the Owners of a majority of the Voting Rights represented by the Certificates then Outstanding.

(c) The Trustee shall execute any instrument required pursuant to this Section so long as such instrument does not conflict with this Agreement or with the Trustee's fiduciary duties, or adversely affect its rights, indemnities and immunities hereunder.

Section 6.04. Performance of Obligations.

The Trustee will not take any action that would release any Person from any of such Person's covenants or obligations under any instrument or document relating to the Certificates or which would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or document, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or such other instrument or document.

The Trustee may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties hereunder pursuant to Section 10.03(g); provided, that the Trustee shall remain liable for the performance of any such duties notwithstanding any such contractual arrangement.

The Trustee will not:

(i) sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the Trust Estate except as expressly permitted by this Agreement;

(ii) claim any credit on or make any deduction from the distributions payable in respect of, the Certificates (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code) or assert any claim against any present or former Owner by reason of the payment of any taxes levied or assessed upon any of the Trust Estate;

(iii) incur, assume or guaranty, on behalf of the Trust, any indebtedness of any Person except pursuant to this Agreement;

(iv) dissolve or liquidate the Trust in whole or in part, except pursuant to Article IX hereof; or (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Agreement to be impaired, or permit any Person to be released from any covenant or obligation with respect to the Trust or to the Certificates under this Agreement, except as may be expressly permitted hereby or (B) permit any lien, charge, adverse claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof.

Section 6.06. No Other Powers.

The Trustee will not permit the Trust to engage in any business activity or transaction other than those activities permitted by Section 2.03 hereof.

Section 6.07. Limitation of Suits.

No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Trust, or for any other remedy with respect to an event of default hereunder, unless:

such Owner has previously given written notice to the Seller and the Trustee of such Owner's intention to institute such proceeding;

(2)

the Owners of not less than 51% of the Voting Rights represented by the Certificates then Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as Trustee establishing the Trust;

(3)

such Owner or Owners have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(4)

the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such proceeding; and

(5)

no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Owners of a majority of the Voting Rights represented by the Certificates then Outstanding;

IT BEING UNDERSTOOD AND INTENDED THAT NO ONE OR MORE OWNERS SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT IN ANY MANNER WHATEVER BY VIRTUE OF, OR BY AVAILING THEMSELVES OF, ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO AFFECT, DISTURB OR PREJUDICE THE RIGHTS OF ANY OTHER OWNER OF THE SAME CLASS OR TO OBTAIN OR TO SEEK TO OBTAIN PRIORITY OR PREFERENCE OVER ANY OTHER OWNER OF THE SAME CLASS OR TO ENFORCE ANY RIGHT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED AND FOR THE EQUAL AND RATABLE BENEFIT OF ALL THE OWNERS OF THE SAME CLASS.

Section 6.08. Unconditional Rights of Owners to Receive Distributions.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive distributions to the extent provided herein and therein with respect to such Certificate or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.

Section 6.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided herein, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay of the Trustee or any Owner of any Certificate to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of such right or remedy. Every right and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Owners may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Owners, as the case may be.

Section 6.11. Control by Owners.

The Owners of a majority of the Voting Rights represented by the Certificates then Outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Certificates or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Certificates or the Trust Estate, including, but not limited to, those powers set forth in Section 6.03 and Section 8.20 hereof, provided that:

(1)

such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Agreement;

(2)

the Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it; and

(3)

the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee, as the case may be, which is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that the Trustee need not take any action which it determines might involve it in liability or may be unjustly prejudicial to the Owners not so directing.

Section 6.12. Indemnification by CHEC.

CHEC agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor and any Owner sustain in any way related to the failure of Sellers to perform their duties in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. CHEC shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner if a claim is made by a third party that the Servicer has failed to perform its obligations to service and administer the Home Equity Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and CHEC shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Depositor, the Servicer, the Sellers, the Trustee and/or Owner in respect of such claim. The Trustee shall, in accordance with instructions received from CHEC, reimburse CHEC only from amounts otherwise distributable on the Class X-IO and the Class R Certificates for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence, except when a final nonappealable adjudication determines that the claim relates directly to the failure of the Sellers to perform their duties in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall demand payment or delivery of all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, including all payments due on the Home Equity Loans in accordance with the respective terms and conditions of such Home Equity Loans and required to be paid over to the Trustee by the Servicer or by any Sub-Servicer. The Trustee shall hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Trust Estate and shall apply it as provided in this Agreement.

Section 7.02. Establishment of Accounts.

(a) The Depositor shall cause the Certificate Account and the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund to be established on the Startup Day, and the Trustee shall maintain each of the Certificate Account and the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund, at the Corporate Trust Office as an Eligible Account to be held by the Trustee in the name of the Trust on behalf of (i) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Owners of the Certificates; and (ii) in the case of the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund, the Owners of the Class AV and Subordinate Certificates.

(b) On each Determination Date the Trustee shall determine (subject to the terms of Section 10.03(j) hereof, based solely on information provided to it electronically or in writing by the Servicer) with respect to the immediately following Distribution Date, the amounts that are expected to be on deposit in the Certificate Account as of such Distribution Date.

Section 7.03. Flow of Funds.

(a) (i) The Trustee shall deposit in the Certificate Account without duplication, upon receipt, with respect to Group I, the proceeds of any liquidation of the assets of the Trust insofar as such assets relate to Group I, all remittances made to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 8.08(e), 8.09 and 8.10 with respect to Group I and the Group I Monthly Remittance Amount remitted by the Servicer.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following allocations, disbursements and transfers (based solely on information provided by the Servicer in writing), from amounts deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to subsection (a) in the following order of priority, and each such allocation, transfer and disbursement shall be treated as having occurred only after all preceding allocations:

A. The Group I Monthly Interest Amount and Group II Monthly Interest Amount, respectively, are required to be distributed in the following order of priority until such amounts have been fully distributed:

1. first, to the Trustee, the Trustee Fee and any Transition Expenses for the related Group;

2. second, to each Class of the Senior Certificates for such Group, the Class Monthly Interest Amount and any Class Interest Carryover Shortfall for such Class on that Distribution Date; provided, however, if the interest collections for the related Group are not sufficient to make a full distribution of the Class Monthly Interest Amount and any Class Interest Carryover Shortfall with respect to the Senior Certificates of such Group, the interest amounts for the related Group will be distributed pro rata among each such Class of Senior Certificates of the related Group based on the ratio of:

(i)

the Class Monthly Interest Amount and Class Interest Carryover Shortfall for that Class to

(ii)

the total amount of Class Monthly Interest Amount and any Class Interest Carryover Shortfall for the Senior Certificates of the Group;

3. third, to the Class M-1 Certificates of the Group, the Class Monthly Interest Amount for that Class and Distribution Date;;

4. fourth, to the Class M-2 Certificates of the Group, the Class Monthly Interest Amount for that Class and Distribution Date;

(B)

then, the balance of the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for Group I, sequentially, to the Class AF-1, Class AF-2, Class AF-3, Class AF-4, Class AF-5 and Class AF-6 Certificates so that no distribution will be made to any such Class until the Certificate Principal Balances of all the related Senior Certificates with a lower numeral designation shall have been reduced to zero;

provided, however, that, on any Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates with respect to Group I is equal to or greater than the aggregate Loan Balance of the Group I Home Equity Loans, the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for Group I will be distributed pro rata and not sequentially to those Senior Certificates; and

(ii)

the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for Group II is required to be distributed to the Class AV Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of that Class has been reduced to zero;

2. to the Class M-1 Certificates of the Group, the Class M-1 Principal Distribution Amount for that Class;

8. for distribution to the other Group first, to the Offered Certificates of the other Group, payable in the order of priority set forth in clauses B.1 through B.4 above, to the extent that any Subordination Increase Amounts with respect to such Certificates have not otherwise been distributed in full for that Distribution Date and then, to the Offered Certificates of the other Group in accordance with the priorities set forth in clauses C.2 through C.7, to the extent that any related Class Principal Carryover Shortfalls have not otherwise been distributed in full for that Distribution Date;

9. to the Class X-IO Certificates, for deposit to the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund, the lesser of (a) the Class X-IO Distribution Amount and (b) the WAC Excess;

10. in the case of Group I, sequentially, to the Class MF-1, Class MF-2 and Class BF Certificates, in that order, the related Group I Net WAC Cap Carryover from and to the extent of funds on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund with respect to Group I and, in the case of Group II, to the Group II Certificates, payable in the order of priority set forth in clauses 1 through 5 of clause A. above, the related Group II Net WAC Cap Carryover from and to the extent of funds on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund with respect to Group II;

12. to the Servicer to the extent of any unreimbursed Delinquency Advances, unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unreimbursed Compensating Interest each with respect to the related Group, payable first from the related Group and then from the other Group; and

13. To the Class X-IO Certificates, an amount equal to the Class X-IO Distribution Amount less any amounts thereof applied pursuant to clauses C. 9 through C. 12 above; provided, however, that on any Distribution Date on which the Class X-IO Distribution Amount is distributable pursuant to Section 9.02(d), any Class X-IO Distribution Amount shall instead be distributed to the Classes of Offered Certificates of the related Group, such amount to be applied in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Classes in the same order of priority as the principal distribution amounts are to be applied for such related Offered Certificates pursuant to clauses B.1 through B.4 above.

14. To the Class R Certificates, the remainder.

(c) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, the aggregate amounts distributed on all Distribution Dates to the Owners of the related Offered Certificates on account of principal pursuant to Section 7.03(b) shall not exceed the original Certificate Principal Balance of the related Offered Certificates.

The rights of the Owners to receive distributions from the proceeds of the Trust Estate, and all ownership interests of the Owners in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. In this regard, all rights of the Owners of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates to receive distributions in respect of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates shall be subject and subordinate to the preferential rights of the holders of the Offered Certificates to receive distributions thereon and the ownership interests of such Owners in such distributions, as described herein. In accordance with the foregoing, the ownership interests of the Owners of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates in amounts deposited in the Accounts from time to time shall not vest unless and until such amounts are distributed in respect of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Owners of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates shall not be required to refund any amount properly distributed on the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates pursuant to this Section 7.03.

Section 7.04. Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund. On the Startup Day, the holders of the Class X-IO Certificates will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund, $10,000. On each Distribution Date as to which there is WAC Excess, the Trustee has been directed to, and shall therefore, deposit into the Supplemental Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the WAC Excess which is payable pursuant to Section 7.03(b) clause C.10. If no WAC Excess is payable on a Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund on behalf of the Class X-IO Certificateholders an amount such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in the fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to $10,000. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class X-IO Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund (other than the initial $10,000 deposit) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC I with respect to the Class X-IO Distribution Amount. Amounts held in the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund and not distributable to the Carryover Certificateholders on any Distribution Date will be invested by the Trustee in investments designated by the Class X-IO Certificateholders having maturities on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date on which such amounts will be distributable to the Carryover Certificateholders. Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Carryover Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund will be released from the lien of the Trust and distributed to the Class X-IO Certificateholders or their designees. The Supplemental Interest Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC created hereunder and any payments to the Carryover Certificates of WAC Excess and will not be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

Section 7.05. Investment of Accounts.

ARTICLE VIII

SERVICING AND ADMINISTRATION OF HOME EQUITY LOANS

Section 8.01. Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

Acting directly or through one or more Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 8.03, the Servicer shall service and administer the Home Equity Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the terms of the respective Home Equity Loans, and with prudent and reasonable care, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable home equity loans that it services for itself or others and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable but without regard to: (i) any relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor; (ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer; (iii) the Servicer's obligation to make Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances; or (iv) the Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.

Subject to Section 8.03 hereof, the Servicer may, and is hereby authorized to, perform any of its servicing responsibilities with respect to all or certain of the Home Equity Loans through a Sub-Servicer as it may from time to time designate, but no such designation of a Sub-Servicer shall serve to release the Servicer from any of its obligations under this Agreement. Such Sub-Servicer shall have the rights and powers of the Servicer which have been delegated to such Sub-Servicer with respect to such Home Equity Loans under this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to Sections 8.13 and 8.14, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Owners and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Home Equity Loans and with respect to the Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure so as to effect ownership of any Property in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, and (iii) to hold title to any Property upon such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 8.13(a) and Section 8.14(a) shall each constitute a revocable power of attorney from the Trustee to the Servicer to execute an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) with respect to any Home Equity Loan held by the Trustee hereunder paid in full or foreclosed (or with respect to which payment in full has been escrowed). Revocation of the power of attorney created by the proviso of the preceding sentence shall take effect upon (i) the receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Trustee or (ii) a Servicer Termination Event or (iii) the termination of the Trust. The Trustee shall at the written direction of the Servicer execute any documentation furnished to it by the Servicer for recordation by the Servicer in the appropriate jurisdictions, as shall be necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Subject to Sections 8.13 and 8.14, the Trustee shall, if necessary, execute a limited power of attorney in the form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer and furnish them with any other documents as the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer shall reasonably request to enable the Servicer and such Sub-Servicer to carry out their respective servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

Upon the request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the details concerning the servicing of the Home Equity Loans on computer generated tape, diskette or other machine readable format which is mutually agreeable.

The Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any action, of which the Servicer has actual knowledge, to (i) assert a claim against the Trust or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the Trust.

Servicing Advances incurred by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer in connection with the servicing of the Home Equity Loans (including any penalties in connection with the payment of any taxes and assessments or other charges on any Property) shall be recoverable by the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer to the extent described in Section 8.09(b) hereof.

The Servicer will exercise its discretion consistent with customary servicing procedures and the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the enforcement and servicing of defaulted Home Equity Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest with respect thereto, including but not limited to the sale of such Home Equity Loans to a third party, the modification of such Home Equity Loans, or foreclosure upon the related Property and disposition thereof.

Section 8.02. Collection of Certain Home Equity Loan Payments.

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Home Equity Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable Insurance Policy, follow collection procedures for all Home Equity Loans at least as rigorous as those described in the FNMA Guide. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be waived any late payment charge, prepayment charge, assumption fee or any penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Home Equity Loan or any other fee or charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain hereunder as servicing compensation. In the event the Servicer shall consent to the deferment of the due dates for payments due on a Note, the Servicer shall nonetheless make payment of any required Delinquency Advance with respect to the payments so extended to the same extent as if such installment were due, owing and Delinquent and had not been deferred, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor in accordance with Section 8.09(a) hereof.

Section 8.03. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

The Servicer may, with the prior written consent of the Trustee, enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of Home Equity Loans with any institution which is acceptable to the Trustee and which (x) is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, (y) has experience servicing home equity loans that are similar to the Home Equity Loans and (z) has equity of not less than $5,000,000 (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). The Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Owners and the Rating Agencies of the appointment of any Sub-Servicer (and shall receive the confirmation of the Rating Agencies that such Sub-Servicer shall not result in a withdrawal or downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating or the shadow rating of the Offered Certificates). For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Home Equity Loans when any Sub-Servicer has received such payments. Each Sub-Servicer shall be required to service the Home Equity Loans in accordance with this Agreement and any such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Trustee (if acting as successor Servicer) or any other successor Servicer shall have the option to terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if the original Servicer is terminated or resigns. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instrument.

Section 8.04. Successor Sub-Servicers.

The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Home Equity Loans or enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 8.03.

Section 8.05. Liability of Servicer; Indemnification.

(a) The Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer and the Servicer shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Home Equity Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement.

(b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor and any Owner may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Home Equity Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and/or Owner in respect of such claim. The Trustee shall, in accordance with written instructions received from the Servicer, reimburse the Servicer only from amounts otherwise distributable on the Class R Certificates for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence, except when a final nonappealable adjudication determines that the claim relates directly to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties in compliance with the Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.05(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Trustee, and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

Section 8.06. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer, Trustee or the Owners.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Home Equity Loans involving a Sub-Servicer shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone and the Trustee and the Owners shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 8.07.

Section 8.07. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by Trustee.

In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of the Servicer hereunder by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.20 or another successor Servicer, it is understood and agreed that the Servicer's rights and obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then in force between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Trustee or another successor Servicer without act or deed on part of the Trustee or such successor servicer provided, however, that the Trustee (if acting as successor Servicer) or any other successor Servicer may terminate the Sub-Servicer as provided in Section 8.03.

The Servicer shall, upon the reasonable request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

Section 8.08. Principal and Interest Account.

(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain at one or more Designated Depository Institutions the Principal and Interest Account, which shall be an Eligible Account. The Principal and Interest Account shall be identified on the records of the Designated Depository Institution as follows: Bank One, National Association, as Trustee on behalf of the Owners of the Centex Home Equity Loan Trust 2002-A Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates. If the institution at any time holding the Principal and Interest Account ceases to be eligible as a Designated Depository Institution hereunder, then the Servicer shall immediately be required to name a successor institution meeting the requirements for a Designated Depository Institution hereunder. If the Servicer fails to name such a successor institution, then the Principal and Interest Account shall thenceforth be held as a trust account at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Owners if there is a change in the name, account number or institution holding the Principal and Interest Account.

Any investments of funds in the Principal and Interest Account shall mature or be withdrawable at par on or prior to the immediately succeeding Monthly Remittance Date. The Principal and Interest Account shall be held in trust in the name of the Trust for the benefit of the Owners. The Trust shall be divided into two separate sub-trusts; one for Group I and any Trust assets allocable to Group I and the other for Group II and any Trust assets allocable to Group II. Any investment earnings on funds held in the Principal and Interest Account shall be for the account of the Servicer and may only be withdrawn from the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer immediately following the remittance of the Monthly Remittance Amount by the Servicer in accordance with the terms hereof. Any investment losses on amounts held in the Principal and Interest Account shall be for the account of the Servicer and promptly upon the realization of such loss shall be contributed by the Servicer to the Principal and Interest Account. Any references herein to amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account shall refer to amounts net of such investment earnings.

(c) The Servicer shall deposit to the Principal and Interest Account no later than the second Business Day after receipt, all principal collected and interest due on the Home Equity Loans (net of the Servicing Fee related to such Home Equity Loans) on and after the Cut-Off Date and the Replacement Cut-Off Date, as applicable, including any Prepayments and Net Liquidation Proceeds, other recoveries or amounts related to the Home Equity Loans received by the Servicer and any income from REO Properties, but net of (i) Net Liquidation Proceeds to the extent such Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the sum of (A) the Loan Balance of the related Home Equity Loan immediately prior to liquidation, plus (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Home Equity Loan (net of the related Servicing Fee) plus (C) any unrecovered Cram Down Losses, (ii) reimbursements for unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and unreimbursed Servicing Advances (but in each case solely from amounts received on the related Home Equity Loan) as provided in Section 8.09 and (iii) reimbursements for amounts deposited in the Principal and Interest Account representing payments of principal and/or interest on a Note by a Mortgagor which are subsequently returned by a depository institution as unpaid.

(d) The Servicer may make withdrawals from the Principal and Interest Account, with respect to each Home Equity Loan Group, for the following purposes:

(A) on each Monthly Remittance Date, to pay itself the related Servicing Fees to the extent such Servicing Fees are not retained by the Servicer;

(B) to withdraw investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account;

(D) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and for unreimbursed Servicing Advances (in each case, solely from amounts recovered on the related Home Equity Loan) as provided in Section 8.09;

(E) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 8.09(a) for Nonrecoverable Advances; and

(F) to clear and terminate the Principal and Interest Account following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX.

(e) The Servicer shall (i) remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account by wire transfer, or otherwise make funds available in immediately available funds, without duplication, the Monthly Remittance Amount allocable to a Remittance Period not later than the related Monthly Remittance Date, and (ii) on each Monthly Remittance Date, deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, a monthly servicing report, with respect to each Home Equity Loan Group, containing (without limitation) the following information: principal and interest collected in respect of the Home Equity Loans, scheduled principal and interest that was due on the Home Equity Loans, relevant information with respect to Liquidated Loans, if any, summary and detailed delinquency reports, Liquidation Proceeds and other similar information concerning the servicing of the Home Equity Loans. In addition, the Servicer shall inform the Trustee on each Monthly Remittance Date, with respect to each Home Equity Loan Group, of the amounts of any Loan Purchase Prices or Substitution Amounts so remitted during the related Remittance Period, and of the Loan Balance of the Home Equity Loan having the largest Loan Balance as of such date.

(f) The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the information described in Section 8.08(e)(ii) and in Section 7.09(b) to enable the Trustee to perform its reporting requirements under Section 7.09 and to make the allocations and disbursements set forth in Sections 7.02 and 7.03.

Section 8.09. Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances.

(a) On or before each Monthly Remittance Date, the Servicer shall be required to remit to the Trustee for deposit to the Certificate Account out of the Servicer's own funds or from collections on any Home Equity Loans that are not required to be distributed on the Distribution Date occurring during the month in which such remittance is made (all or any portion of such amount to be replaced on future Monthly Remittance Dates to the extent required for distribution) any Delinquent payment of interest with respect to each Delinquent Home Equity Loan, which payment was not received on or prior to the last day of the related Remittance Period. Such amounts of the Servicer's own funds so deposited are "Delinquency Advances".

The Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself on any Business Day for any Delinquency Advances paid from the Servicer's own funds (i) from late collections on the related Home Equity Loan or (ii) as otherwise provided in Section 7.03(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Servicer determines in its reasonable business judgment in accordance with the servicing standards set out herein that any proposed Delinquency Advance would not be recoverable, the Servicer shall not be required to make Delinquency Advances with respect to such Home Equity Loan. To the extent that the Servicer previously has made Delinquency Advances with respect to a Home Equity Loan that the Servicer subsequently determines are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such aggregate Nonrecoverable Advances from collections on any Home Equity Loan of the related Group on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account. The Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate of such determination as to why such amount would not be recoverable to the Trustee; the Trustee shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to the Owners of the Class R Certificates upon request; provided, further, that the Servicer shall be entitled to recover any unreimbursed Delinquency Advances from Liquidation Proceeds for the related Home Equity Loan.

(b) The Servicer will pay all "out-of-pocket" costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited to, (i) Preservation Expenses, (ii) the cost of any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures, (iii) the cost of the management and liquidation of REO Property, (iv) advances required by Section 8.13(a), and (v) expenses incurred pursuant to Section 8.22, except to the extent that such amounts are determined by the Servicer in its reasonable business judgment not to be recoverable. Such costs will constitute "Servicing Advances". The Servicer may recover a Servicing Advance (x) from the Mortgagors to the extent permitted by the Home Equity Loans or, if not theretofore recovered from the Mortgagor on whose behalf such Servicing Advance was made, from Liquidation Proceeds realized upon the liquidation of the related Home Equity Loan and (y) as provided in Section 7.03(b) clause C.12. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover the Servicing Advances from the Liquidation Proceeds on the related Home Equity Loan prior to the payment of the Liquidation Proceeds to any other party to this Agreement. In no case may the Servicer recover Servicing Advances from the principal and interest payments on any other Home Equity Loan except as provided in Section 7.03(b) clause C.12.

Section 8.10. Compensating Interest; Repurchase of Home Equity Loans.

(a) If any Prepayment in full of a Home Equity Loan occurs during any calendar month, any shortfall between (x) the interest collected from the Mortgagor in connection with such payoff, and (y) the full month's interest at the Coupon Rate that would be due on the related Due Date for such Home Equity Loan ("Compensating Interest") (but not in excess of the Servicing Fee with respect to the related Group for the related Remittance Period) shall be deposited by the Servicer to the Principal and Interest Account (or if such difference is an excess, the Servicer shall retain such excess) on the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date and shall be included in the Monthly Remittance Amount to be made available to the Trustee on such Monthly Remittance Date. The Servicer may recover any unreimbursed payments of Compensating Interest from collections on any Home Equity Loan on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account, as provided in Section 7.03(b) clause C.12.

(b) Subject to clause (c) below, the Servicer has the right and the option, but not the obligation, to purchase for its own account any Home Equity Loan which is 60 days or more Delinquent, or any Home Equity Loan as to which enforcement proceedings have been brought by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.13; provided, however, that the Servicer may not purchase any such Home Equity Loan unless the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee at the Servicer's expense, an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that such a purchase would not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or otherwise subject the Trust to tax and would not jeopardize the status of any REMIC created hereunder as REMICs. Any such Home Equity Loan so purchased shall be purchased by the Servicer on or prior to a Monthly Remittance Date at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account.

(d) The Net Liquidation Proceeds from the disposition of any REO Property shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and remitted to the Trustee as part of the Monthly Remittance Amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee.

Section 8.11. Maintenance of Insurance.

(a) (i) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Home Equity Loan a hazard insurance policy with a carrier generally acceptable to the Servicer that provides for fire and extended coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Home Equity Loan in an amount not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Home Equity Loan (plus the related Senior Lien loan, if any), (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis and (C) the full insurable value of the premises. The Servicer shall maintain the insurance policies required hereunder in the name of the mortgagee, its successors and assigns, and shall be named as loss payee. The policies shall require the insurer to provide the mortgagee with 30 days' notice prior to any cancellation or as otherwise required by law.

(ii) As an alternative to maintaining a hazard insurance policy with respect to each Home Equity Loan as described in clause (i) above, the Servicer may maintain a blanket hazard insurance policy or policies if the insurer or insurers of such policies are rated investment grade by Xxxxx'x, Standard & Poor's and, if rated by Fitch, Fitch.

(b) If the Home Equity Loan at the time of origination (or if required by federal law, at any time thereafter) relates to a Property in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Servicer will cause to be maintained with respect thereto a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a carrier generally acceptable to the Servicer in an amount representing coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Home Equity Loan of not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Home Equity Loan (plus the related Senior Lien loan, if any), (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trust out of the Servicer's own funds for any loss to the Trust resulting from the Servicer's failure to advance premiums for such insurance required by this Section when so permitted by the terms of the Mortgage as to which such loss relates.

(c) Amounts collected by the Servicer under any Insurance Policy shall be deposited into the Principal and Interest Account.

Section 8.12. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution Agreements.

When a Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall (except as provided below), to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Home Equity Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related Mortgage or Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law, or the Servicer, in a manner consistent with reasonable commercial practice, and only if the Servicer reasonably believes assumption by the purchaser would not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Owners, permits the purchaser of the related Property to assume such Home Equity Loan. An Opinion of Counsel, provided at the expense of the Servicer, to the foregoing effect shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief. In such event, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such Property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage documents, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note. The Home Equity Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all material respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement (indicating the File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by the Trustee or by the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf to the related File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, no material term of the Home Equity Loan (including, without limitation, the required monthly payment on the related Home Equity Loan, the stated maturity, the outstanding principal amount or the Coupon Rate) shall be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Home Equity Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

Section 8.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Home Equity Loans; Workout of Home Equity Loans.

(a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably effect the ownership in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of Properties relating to defaulted Home Equity Loans as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of Delinquent payments and which the Servicer has not purchased pursuant to Section 8.10(b). In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it hereunder, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise or use, as prudent mortgage lenders would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and consistent with the servicing standards set forth in the FNMA Guide, including, but not limited to, advancing funds for the payment of taxes, amounts due with respect to Senior Liens, and insurance premiums. Any amounts so advanced shall constitute "Servicing Advances" within the meaning of Section 8.09(b) hereof. The Servicer shall sell any REO Property within 35 months from the close of the taxable year of its acquisition by the Trust, at such price as the Servicer in good xxxxx xxxxx necessary to comply with this covenant unless the Servicer obtains for the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel (the expense of which opinion shall be a Servicing Advance) experienced in federal income tax matters acceptable to the Trustee, addressed to the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property for any greater period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "Prohibited Transactions" of the Trust or any REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions, the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owners solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any REMIC created hereunder of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Owners, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owners for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall take into account the existence of any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local environmental legislation, on a Property in determining whether to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Property. If the Servicer has actual knowledge of any environmental or hazardous waste risk with respect to the Property that the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer will cause an environmental inspection of the Property in accordance with the servicing standards set forth in this Agreement.

(b) The Servicer shall determine, with respect to each defaulted Home Equity Loan, when it has recovered, whether through trustee's sale, foreclosure sale or otherwise, all amounts it expects to recover from or on account of such defaulted Home Equity Loan, whereupon such Home Equity Loan shall become a "Liquidated Loan" and the Servicer shall promptly submit a liquidation report to the Trustee in substantially the form of Exhibit N hereto, provided that such form is acceptable to the Trustee.

(c) The Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any provision of any Home Equity Loan unless, in the Servicer's good faith judgment, such modification, waiver or amendment would minimize the loss that might otherwise be experienced with respect to such Home Equity Loan and only in the event of a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan or in the event that a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan is reasonably foreseeable by the Servicer; provided, however, that no such modification, waiver or amendment shall extend the maturity date of such Home Equity Loan beyond the date that is six months after the latest Final Scheduled Distribution Date of all of the Classes of Offered Certificates remaining in the Trust. Notwithstanding anything set out in this Section 8.13(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall be permitted to modify, waive or amend any provision of a Home Equity Loan if required by statute or a court of competent jurisdiction to do so.

(d) The Servicer has no intent to foreclose on any Mortgage based on the delinquency characteristics as of the Startup Day; provided, that the foregoing does not prevent the Servicer from initiating foreclosure proceedings on any date hereafter if the facts and circumstances of such Mortgage including delinquency characteristics in the Servicer's discretion so warrant such action.

Section 8.14. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.

(a) Upon the payment in full of any Home Equity Loan (including any liquidation of such Home Equity Loan through foreclosure or otherwise), or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a written request of the Servicer, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O, signed by an Authorized Officer which states the purpose of the release of a File. Upon receipt of such written request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall promptly release the related File, in trust, in its reasonable discretion to (i) the Servicer, (ii) an escrow agent or (iii) any employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Servicer is authorized to give, as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee and the mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the Note, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Property relating to such Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account or to the Trustee.

(b) The Servicer shall have the right to accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations and (iii) removal, demolition or division of Properties subject to Mortgages. No application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer unless: (x) the provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any release does not exceed the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio of such Note on the Cut-Off Date or Replacement Cut-Off Date, as applicable, and any increase in the Loan-to-Value Ratio shall not exceed 5%; and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer's Certificate executed on behalf of the Servicer setting forth the action proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Home Equity Loan and certifying that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or partial release so requested by the Servicer. A proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany any Officer's Certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.

(c) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any Home Equity Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable conversion of a Home Equity Loan or collection under any applicable Insurance Policy, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall release the related File to the Servicer, promptly upon a written request of the Servicer, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O, signed by an Authorized Officer, which states the purpose of the release of a File. Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the File to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists.

(d) In all cases where the Servicer directs the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to sign any document or to release a File within a particular period of time, the Servicer shall notify an Authorized Officer of the Trustee by telephone of such need and the Trustee shall thereon use its best efforts to comply with the Servicer's needs, but in any event will comply within two Business Days of such request.

(e) No costs associated with the procedures described in this Section 8.14 shall be an expense of the Trust.

Section 8.15. Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the amount of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Home Equity Loan Group. Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment charges, release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, late payment charges, prepayment penalties, or any other servicing-related fees, Net Liquidation Proceeds not required to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 8.08(c)(i) and similar items may, to the extent collected from Mortgagors, be retained by the Servicer, unless a successor Servicer is appointed pursuant to Section 8.20 hereof, in which case the successor Servicer shall be entitled to such fees as are agreed upon by the Trustee and the successor Servicer.

The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

Section 8.16. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, and the Rating Agencies, on or before July 31 of each year, commencing in 2003, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during such preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligations, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof including the steps being taken by the Servicer to remedy such default.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice by means of an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become a Servicer Termination Event.

Section 8.17. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Reports.

On or before July 31 of each year, commencing in 2003, the Servicer, at its own expense (or if the Trustee is then acting as Servicer, at the expense of the Seller), shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor, and the Rating Agencies a letter or letters of a firm of independent, nationally recognized certified public accountants stating that such firm has examined the Servicer's overall servicing operations in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, and stating such firm's conclusions relating thereto. In the event such firm requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Trustee makes no independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity, or correctness of such procedures.

Section 8.18. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Home Equity Loans.

The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee access to the documentation regarding the Home Equity Loans and the Trust, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.

Upon any change in the format of the computer tape maintained by the Servicer in respect of the Home Equity Loans, the Servicer shall deliver a copy of such computer tape to the Trustee and in addition shall provide a copy of such computer tape to the Trustee at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request.

Section 8.19. Assignment of Agreement.

Other than with respect to entering into Sub-Servicing Agreements pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof, the Servicer may not assign its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, unless it shall have first obtained the written consent of the Trustee, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any assignee must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.20(h) hereof for a successor Servicer.

Section 8.20. Removal of Servicer; Retention of Servicer; Resignation of Servicer.

(a) The Trustee or the Owners of at least a 51% Percentage Interest in all of the Certificates may remove the Servicer upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a "Servicer Termination Event"):

(ii) If without the application, approval or consent of the Servicer, a proceeding shall be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction, under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking in respect of the Servicer an order for relief or an adjudication in bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, a composition or arrangement with creditors, a readjustment of debts, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian or similar entity with respect to the Servicer or of all or any substantial part of its assets, or other like relief in respect thereof under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, and, if such proceeding is being contested by the Servicer in good faith, the same shall (A) result in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) continue undismissed or pending and unstayed for any period of seventy-five (75) consecutive days; or

(iii) The Servicer shall fail to perform any one or more of its obligations hereunder and shall continue in default thereof for a period of thirty (30) days (one (1) Business Day in the case of a delay in making a payment or deposit required of the Servicer under this Agreement) which failure materially and adversely affects the Owners after the earlier of (a) actual knowledge of an officer of the Servicer or (b) receipt of notice from the Trustee of said failure;

(iv) The Servicer shall fail to cure any breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 or in the other Operative Documents which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners which remains unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the earlier of the Servicer's discovery or receipt of notice thereof; or

(vi) The Servicer shall be declared in default of its credit facility by its credit facility provider, which default, if left uncured, would result in termination or acceleration of amounts owed thereunder; or

(vii) Centex Corporation or its successors shall fail to own, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the Servicer unless the Servicer shall be rated at least investment grade by each of Standard & Poor's and Xxxxx'x and if rated by Fitch, by Fitch.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer under this Agreement until removed as set forth in this Section 8.20 and a successor Servicer has assumed the servicing obligations. After the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Trustee or the Owners of at least 51% Percentage Interest in all the Certificates may remove the Servicer by written notice to the Servicer. Such termination shall be effective on the date specified in such notice, provided that a successor Servicer or the Trustee has assumed the servicing obligations. Upon the effective date of termination of the Servicer, the Trustee shall assume the servicing obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make Delinquency Advances and the Trustee will assume the other duties of the Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the Trustee becomes successor Servicer pursuant to the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts. Until a successor Servicer has been appointed, the Trustee shall be the successor Servicer in all respects without further action, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee on and after the effective date of termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

(d) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon (i) determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer at the date of this Agreement or (ii) written consent of the Trustee. Any such determination under clause (i) shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee at the expense of the Servicer to such effect which shall be delivered to the Trustee.

(e) No removal or resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with this Section.

(f) Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the Servicer at its own expense also shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to a successor Servicer or the Trustee all the books and records (including, without limitation, records kept in electronic form) that the Servicer has maintained for the Home Equity Loans, including all tax bills, assessment notices, insurance premium notices and all other documents as well as all original documents then in the Servicer's possession.

(g) Any collections due to the Trust then being held by the Servicer prior to its removal and any collections received by the Servicer after removal or resignation shall be endorsed by it to the Trustee and remitted directly and immediately to the Trustee or the successor Servicer.

(h) Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the Trustee (A) may, solicit bids for a successor Servicer as described below and (B) until such time as another successor Servicer is appointed by the Trustee, shall assume the duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. The Trustee agrees to act as Servicer during the solicitation process and shall assume all duties and obligations of the Servicer. The Trustee shall, if it is unable to obtain a qualifying bid and is prevented by law from acting as Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any housing and home finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution which has been designated as an approved seller-servicer by FNMA or FHLMC for first and second home equity loans and having equity of not less than $5,000,000, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, act as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. The compensation of any successor Servicer (other than the Trustee in its capacity as successor Servicer) so appointed shall be the amount agreed to between the successor Servicer and the Trustee (up to a maximum of 0.50% per annum on the outstanding principal balance of each Home Equity Loan), together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided in Sections 8.08 and 8.15; provided, however, that if the Trustee becomes the successor Servicer it shall receive as its compensation the same compensation paid to the Servicer immediately prior to the Servicer's removal or resignation; provided, further, however, that the predecessor Servicer agrees to pay to the Trustee or other successor Servicer at such time that it becomes such successor Servicer a set-up fee of twenty-five dollars ($25) for each Home Equity Loan then included in the Trust Estate. The amount payable in excess of twenty-five dollars ($25) per Home Equity Loan, if any, shall be payable to the successor Servicer and reimbursable pursuant to Section 7.03(b) (clause C.12) hereof. The Trustee shall be obligated to serve as successor Servicer whether or not the fee described in this section is paid by the Servicer, but shall in any event be entitled to receive, and to enforce payment of, such fee from the Servicer.

(i) In the event the Trustee elects to solicit bids as provided above, the Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall specify that the successor Servicer shall be entitled to servicing compensation in accordance with clause (h) above, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided in Sections 8.08 and 8.15. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the Trustee shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price it will pay to obtain servicing. The Trustee shall deduct from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum less any amounts due the Trustee or the Trust from the Servicer shall be paid by the Trustee to the predecessor Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer's successor.

(j) The Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession, including the notification to all Mortgagors of the transfer of servicing. The predecessor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the predecessor Servicer's servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's functions hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee or such successor Servicer, as applicable, all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer or which are thereafter received with respect to the Home Equity Loans. Any amounts and documents which are property of the Trust held by the predecessor Servicer shall be held in trust on behalf of the Trustee until transferred to the successor Servicer or Trustee. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer. If the Servicer resigns or is replaced hereunder, the Servicer agrees to reimburse the Trust and the Owners for the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of servicing to the replacement Servicer, but subject to a maximum reimbursement to all such parties in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25) for each Home Equity Loan then included in the Trust Estate. The amount payable in excess of twenty-five dollars ($25) per Home Equity Loan, if any, shall be payable to the successor Servicer and reimbursable pursuant to Section 7.03(b)(clause C.12) hereof.

(k) The Trustee or any other successor Servicer, upon assuming the duties of Servicer hereunder, shall immediately (i) record all assignments of Home Equity Loans not previously recorded in the name of the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(ii) as a result of an Opinion of Counsel and (ii) make all Delinquency Advances and Compensating Interest payments and deposit them to the Principal and Interest Account which the Servicer has theretofore failed to remit with respect to the Home Equity Loans.

(l) The Servicer which is being removed or is resigning shall give notice to the Mortgagors and to the Rating Agencies of the transfer of the servicing to the successor.

(m) The Trustee shall give notice to the Depositor, the Owners, the Seller, and the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of any event described in paragraph (a) above of which the Trustee is aware.

(n) Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the predecessor Servicer including, but not limited to, the maintenance of the hazard insurance policy(ies), the fidelity bond and an errors and omissions policy pursuant to Section 8.21(b) and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all of the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer (including, without limitation, any deductible under an insurance policy) nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement.

(o) The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Sections 7.03(b) for all Transition Expenses (other than amounts reimbursed pursuant to paragraph (j) above), including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Home Equity Loans properly and effectively.

Section 8.21. Inspections; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

(a) At any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable notice, the Trustee, any Owner of a Class X-IO or Class R Certificate, or any agents thereof may inspect the Servicer's servicing operations and discuss the servicing operations of the Servicer during the Servicer's normal business hours with any of its officers or directors; provided, however, that the costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or its agents or representatives in connection with any such examinations or discussions shall be paid by the Servicer.

(b) The Servicer (including the Trustee if it shall become the Servicer hereunder) agrees to maintain errors and omissions coverage and a fidelity bond, each at least to the extent required by Section 305 of Part I of FNMA Guide or any successor provision thereof; provided, however, that in the event that the fidelity bond or the errors and omissions coverage is no longer in effect, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Owners.

Section 8.22. Additional Servicing Responsibilities for Second Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall file (or cause to be filed) a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder under a superior lien for the protection of the Trustee's interest, where permitted by local law and whenever applicable state law does not require that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder's equity of redemption.

If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations under a Senior Lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the mortgaged property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take, on behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Owners, and/or to preserve the security of the related Home Equity Loan, subject to the application of the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall advance the necessary funds to cure the default or reinstate the Senior Lien, if such advance is in the best interests of the Owners; provided, however, that no such additional advance need be made if such advance would be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Home Equity Loan. The Servicer shall thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced. Any expenses incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.22 shall be Servicing Advances.

Section 8.23. The Group II Home Equity Loans.

The Servicer shall enforce each Home Equity Loan in Group II in accordance with its terms and shall timely calculate, record, report and apply all interest rate adjustments in accordance with the related Note. The Servicer's records shall, at all times, reflect the then Coupon Rate and monthly payment and the Servicer shall timely notify the Mortgagor of any changes to the Coupon Rate or the Mortgagor's monthly payment. If the Servicer fails to make either a timely or accurate adjustment to the Coupon Rate or monthly payment or to notify the Mortgagor of such adjustments, upon the Servicer's discovery of such error and such continued failure, the Servicer shall pay from its own funds any shortage. If the Servicer's continued failure after notice thereof to make a scheduled change affects the Trust's rights to make future adjustments under the terms of such Home Equity Loan, the Servicer shall repurchase such Home Equity Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof. Any amounts paid by the Servicer pursuant to this Section shall not be an advance and shall not be reimbursable from the proceeds of any Home Equity Loan.

Section 8.24. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Servicer. Any corporation, limited liability company or other entity into which the Servicer may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, limited liability company or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party or any corporation, limited liability company or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Servicer shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto provided that such corporation, limited liability company or other entity meets the qualifications set forth in Section 8.20(h) and the resulting corporation, limited liability company or other entity has a Tangible Net Worth of at least $35,000,000.

(a) Any default or any fact or event of which the Servicer has knowledge which results, or which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would result in the occurrence of a default by the Seller or the Servicer under any Operative Document or would constitute a material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant under any Operative Document;

(b) The submission of any claim or the initiation of any legal process, litigation or administrative or judicial investigation against the Seller or the Servicer to which the Servicer has knowledge in any federal, state or local court or before any governmental body or agency or before any arbitration board or any such proceedings threatened by any governmental agency, which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect upon any of the Seller's or the Servicer's ability to perform its obligations under any Operative Document;

(c) The commencement of any proceedings by or against the Seller or the Servicer under any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or of any proceeding in which a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other similar official shall have been, or may be, appointed or requested for the Seller or the Servicer; and

(d) The receipt of notice from any agency or governmental body having authority over the conduct of any of the Seller's or the Servicer's business that the Seller or the Servicer is to cease or desist, or to undertake, any practice, program, procedure or policy employed by the Seller or the Servicer in the conduct of the business of any of them, and such cessation or undertaking will materially and adversely affect the conduct of the Seller's or the Servicer's business or its ability to perform under the Operative Documents or materially and adversely affect the financial affairs of the Seller or the Servicer.

Section 8.26. Indemnification by the Servicer. The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor and any Owner may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Home Equity Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the date hereof. The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth in Section 11.05.

Section 9.02. Termination Upon Option of the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates.

In connection with such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all amounts then on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account for deposit to the Certificate Account (less amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.08 (d)), which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

(b) In the event that the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates purchases all Home Equity Loans remaining in the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 9.02(a), the Trust Estate shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements:

(i) The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to the final tax return of the REMICs created hereunder pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder;

The Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates may submit a bid in connection with the auction, however neither of the Sellers nor the Depositor shall be permitted to submit a bid or otherwise purchase any or all of the Home Equity Loans in connection with the auction.

The auction shall be conducted as follows:

(i) If at least two bids are received, the Trustee shall solicit and resolicit new bids from all participating bidders until only one bid remains or the remaining bidders decline to resubmit bids. The Trustee shall accept the highest of such remaining bids if it is equal to or in excess of the Termination Price, consummate the sale and end the auction. If less than two bids are received or the highest bid after the resolicitation process is completed is not equal to or in excess of the Termination Price, the Trustee shall not consummate such sale. To determine if a bid meeting the Termination Price is received, the Trustee may, and if so requested by the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates shall, prior to accepting such bid, consult with a financial advisor, which may be an Underwriter of the Certificates, to determine if the fair market value of the Home Equity Loans and related property has been offered.

(ii) If the first auction conducted by the Trustee does not produce any bid at least equal to the Termination Price, then the Trustee shall, beginning on the Distribution Date occurring approximately three months after the first Auction Date, commence another auction in accordance with the requirements of this subsection (c). If such second auction does not produce any bid at least equal to the Termination Price, then the Trustee shall, beginning on the Distribution Date occurring approximately three months after the second Auction Date, commence another auction in accordance with the requirements of this subsection (c), and shall continue to conduct similar auctions approximately every three months thereafter until the earliest of (A) the exercise by the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates of its repurchase option pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 9.02 above, (B) receipt by the Trustee of a bid meeting the conditions specified in the preceding paragraph, or (C) the Distribution Date on which the Loan Balance of all the Home Equity Loans is reduced to zero.

(iii) If the Trustee receives a bid meeting the conditions specified in this subsection (c), then the Trustee's written acceptance of such bid shall constitute a plan of complete liquidation within the meaning of Section 860F of the Code, and the Trustee shall release to the winning bidder, upon payment of the bid purchase price, the Files pertaining to the Home Equity Loans being purchased and take such other actions as the winning bidder may reasonably request to effect the transfer of the Home Equity Loans to the winning bidder.

(d) If the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates does not repurchase all of the Home Equity Loans pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 9.02 on the Clean-Up Call Date, then on the third Distribution Date following the Clean-Up Call Date and each Distribution Date thereafter the Owners of the Offered Certificates shall be entitled to receive the Class X-IO Distribution Amount, distributable pursuant to Section 7.03(b) C.13 hereof, allocated among the Classes of Offered Certificates in the order of priority set forth in Section 7.03(b) C.13 hereof.

(e) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Owners thereof hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the first day in the 90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to the Trust Estate's final tax return, which shall be binding upon all successor Owners.

(f) In connection with any purchase pursuant to Section 9.02(a) or (c), the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates or other purchaser of the Home Equity Loans, as the case may be, shall provide to the Trustee at the expense of the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates or other purchaser of the Home Equity Loans, as the case may be, an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that such purchase and liquidation constitutes a Qualified Liquidation of all of the REMICs created hereunder.

(g) Promptly following any purchase described in Section 9.02(a) or (c), the Trustee will release the Files to the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates or other purchaser of the Home Equity Loans, as the case may be, or otherwise upon their order, in a manner similar to that described in Section 8.14 hereof. The Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates or other purchaser of the Home Equity Loans, as the case may be, will promptly prepare and record assignments of Mortgages from the Trustee to the appropriate person.

Section 9.03. Disposition of Proceeds.

The Trustee shall, upon receipt thereof, deposit the proceeds of any Termination Price or other liquidation of the Trust Estate pursuant to this Article IX to the Certificate Account for distribution in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 7.03(b) hereof; provided, however, that any amounts representing unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances theretofore funded by the Servicer from the Servicer's own funds shall be paid by the Trustee to the Servicer from the proceeds of the Trust Estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution of the proceeds of any Termination Price shall be made to the Owners of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates until all such amounts have been applied in reduction of any outstanding Group I Net WAC Cap Carryover and Group II Net WAC Cap Carryover.

The recitals and representations contained herein and in the Certificates, except the execution and authentication of the Certificates, shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness (other than with respect to such execution and authentication). The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Certificates or any Home Equity Loan or document related thereto other than as to validity and sufficiency of its authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor, the Sellers or the Servicer in respect of the Home Equity Loans or deposited into or withdrawn from the Principal and Interest Account or the Certificate Account by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Sellers, and shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or otherwise to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien or except as otherwise provided herein to prepare or file any tax returns or Commission filings for the Trust or to record this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default unless an Authorized Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof or an Authorized Officer has actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no default has occurred.

Section 10.05. May Hold Certificates.

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Registrar or any other agent of the Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become an Owner or pledgee of Certificates and may otherwise deal with the Trust and the other parties hereto with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, any Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.

Section 10.06. Money Held in Trust.

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other trust funds except to the extent required herein or required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Depositor and except to the extent of income or other gain on investments which are deposits in or certificates of deposit of the Trustee in its commercial capacity and income or other gain actually received by the Trustee on Eligible Investments.

Section 10.07. Compensation and Reimbursement.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Trustee Fee, any investment income or other benefit derived from funds or Eligible Investments in the Certificate Account to the extent permitted by Section 7.05(c), and such other amounts as separately agreed with the Seller. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability, or "unanticipated out-of-pocket" expense incurred or paid to third parties (which expenses shall not include salaries paid to employees, or allocable overhead, of the Trustee) in connection with or any claim or legal action or any pending or threatened claim or legal action arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its trusts hereunder or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. All such amounts described in the preceding sentence shall constitute Trustee Reimbursable Expenses. It is understood by the parties hereto that a "claim" as used in this paragraph includes any claim for indemnification made by the Custodian under the applicable provisions of the Custodial Agreement. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Seller and held harmless against any loss, liability or reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in performing its duties as Tax Matters Person for the REMICs created under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, negligence or bad faith. When the Trustee incurs expenses or provides services after the occurrence of a default and the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law involving any of the Sellers or the Servicer, the expenses and fees for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under such laws. The provisions of this Section 10.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.08. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by the United States of America, or any state and having a deposit rating of at least A- by Standard & Poor's, A2 by Xxxxx'x and, if rated by Fitch, A by Fitch. If such Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article X.

Section 10.09. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article X shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 10.10 hereof.

(b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Seller and by mailing notice of resignation by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Owners at their addresses appearing on the Register. A copy of such notice shall be sent by the resigning Trustee to the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees by written instrument, in duplicate, executed on behalf of the Trust by an Authorized Officer of the Depositor, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trustees. If no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Owner may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and appropriate, appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 10.08 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed on behalf of the Trust by an Authorized Officer of the Depositor, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.

(d) The Owners of a majority of the Voting Rights represented by the Offered Certificates, or, if there are no Offered Certificates then Outstanding, by such majority of the Voting Rights represented by the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates, may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee by delivering to the Trustee to be removed, to the successor Trustee so appointed, to the Depositor and to the Servicer, copies of the record of the act taken by the Owners, as provided for in Section 11.03 hereof.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any cause, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by act of the Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the Offered Certificates then Outstanding, the successor Trustee so appointed shall forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Depositor. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Depositor or the Owners and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Owner may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

(g) The Servicer shall give notice of any removal of the Trustee by mailing notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Rating Agencies and to the Owners as their names and addresses appear in the Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its corporate trust office.

Section 10.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor on behalf of the Trust and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and stating its eligibility to serve as Trustee hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder; but, on request of the Depositor or the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all of the rights, powers and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such Trustee so ceasing to act hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Depositor on behalf of the Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Owners at their last addresses appearing upon the Register. The Depositor shall send a copy of such notice to the Rating Agencies. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Trust.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor shall be qualified and eligible under this Article X.

Section 10.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of the Trustee.

Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that such corporation or association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article X. In case any Certificates have been executed, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Trustee may adopt such execution and deliver the Certificates so executed with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself executed such Certificates.

Section 10.12. Reporting; Withholding.

(a) The Trustee shall timely provide to the Owners the Internal Revenue Service's Form 1099 and any other statement required by applicable Treasury regulations as determined by the Tax Matters Person, and shall withhold, as required by applicable law, federal, state or local taxes, if any, applicable to distributions to the Owners, including but not limited to backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code and the withholding tax on distributions to foreign investors under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(b) As required by law or upon request of the Tax Matters Person and except as otherwise specifically set forth in (a) preceding, the Trustee shall timely file all reports prepared by the Seller and required to be filed by the Trust, including other reports that must be filed with the Owners, such as the Internal Revenue Service's Form 1066 and Schedule Q. The Trustee shall, upon written request of the Seller, collect any forms or reports from the Owners determined by the Seller to be required under applicable federal, state and local tax laws.

(c) Except as otherwise provided, the Trustee shall have the responsibility for preparation and execution of those returns, forms, reports and other documents referred to in this Section.

(d) The Seller covenants and agrees that it shall provide to the Trustee any information necessary to enable the Trustee to meet its obligations under subsections (a), (b) and (c) above.

Section 10.13. Liability of the Trustee.

The Trustee shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Trustee herein. Neither the Trustee nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Trustee shall be under any liability on any Certificate or otherwise to the Certificate Account, the Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer or any Owner for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Trustee, its directors, officers, employees or agents or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Trustee shall not be liable for losses on investments of amounts in the Certificate Account (except for any losses on obligations on which the bank serving as Trustee is the obligor). In addition, the Depositor and CHEC covenant and agree to indemnify the Trustee and the Servicer (if the Servicer is also the Trustee) and their officers, directors, agents and employees from, and hold it harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses (including legal fees and expenses) of whatsoever kind arising out of or in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder other than those resulting from negligence or bad faith. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith on any certificate, notice or other document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Authorized Officer of any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The provisions of this Section 10.13 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates. When the Trustee incurs expenses or provides services after the occurrence of a default and the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law involving the Sellers or the Servicer, the expenses and fees for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under such laws.

Section 10.14. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate or Property may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-Trustee or co-Trustees, jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust Estate or separate Trustee or separate Trustees of any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Owners, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.14, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case any event indicated in Section 8.20(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-Trustee or separate Trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 10.08 and no notice to Owner of the appointment of any co-Trustee or separate Trustee shall be required under Section 10.09.

Every separate Trustee and co-Trustee shall, to the extent permitted, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate Trustee or co-Trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate Trustee or co-Trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate Trustee or co-Trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii) No co-Trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other co-Trustee hereunder; and

(iii) The Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate Trustee or co-Trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate Trustees and co-Trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Section 10.14. Each separate Trustee and co-Trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.

Any separate Trustee or co-Trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee.

Section 10.15. Appointment of Custodians.

The Trustee may appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Subject to this Article X, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of the Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates.

END OF ARTICLE X

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

Upon any application or request by the Depositor, the Sellers or the Owners to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Agreement, the Depositor, each of the Sellers or the Owners, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee a certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate need be furnished.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Agreement (including one furnished pursuant to specific requirements of this Agreement relating to a particular application or request) shall include:

(a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; and

(c) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Trustee or any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, one or more Authorized Officers of the Depositor, either of the Sellers or the Servicer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Depositor, either of the Sellers or the Servicer, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Trustee, stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Trustee, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Section 11.03. Acts of Owners.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by the Owners may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Owners in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Seller. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "act" of the Owners signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Trust, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Owner of any Certificate shall bind the Owner of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.

Section 11.04. Notices, etc. to Trustee.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of the Owners under this Agreement or other documents provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with the Trustee by any Owner, the Depositor, either of the Sellers or the Servicer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with and received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

Section 11.05. Notices and Reports to Owners; Waiver of Notices.

Where this Agreement provides for notice to Owners of any event or the mailing of any report to Owners, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Owner affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at the address of such Owner as it appears on the Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Owners is mailed in the manner provided above, neither the failure to mail such notice or report nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed to any particular Owner shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Owners, and any notice or report which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer is removed or resigned or the Trust is terminated, notice of any such events shall be made by overnight courier, registered mail or telecopy followed by a telephone call.

Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Owners shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Owners when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Where this Agreement provides for notice to any Rating Agency that rated any Certificates, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder.

Section 11.06. Rules by Trustee.

The Trustee may make reasonable rules for any meeting of Owners.

Section 11.07. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by any party hereto shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 11.08. Severability.

In case any provision in this Agreement or in the Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.09. Benefits of Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement or in the Certificates, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the Owners and the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

Section 11.10. Legal Holidays.

In any case where the date of any Distribution Date, any other date on which any distribution to any Owner is proposed to be paid, or any date on which a notice is required to be sent to any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (with the exception of any Monthly Remittance Date) shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificates or this Agreement) payment or mailing need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made or mailed on the nominal date of any such Distribution Date, or such other date for the payment of any distribution to any Owner or the mailing of such notice, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date, provided such payment is made in full on such next succeeding Business Day. In any case where the date of any Monthly Remittance Date shall not be a Business Day, then payment or mailing need not be made on such date, but must be made on the preceding Business Day.

Section 11.11. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) In view of the fact that Owners are expected to reside in many states and outside the United States and the desire to establish with certainty that this Agreement will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the law of a state having a well-developed body of commercial and financial law relevant to transactions of the type contemplated herein, this Agreement and each Certificate shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

(b) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any court in the State of New York located in the City and County of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it or in connection with this Agreement or any of the related documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard or determined in such New York state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that the related documents or the subject matter thereof may not be litigated in or by such courts.

(c) Each of the Depositor, the Sellers and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Trustee as its true and lawful attorney and duly authorized agent for acceptance of service of legal process with respect to any action, suit or proceeding set forth in paragraph (b) hereof. Each of the Depositor, the Sellers and the Servicer agrees that service of such process upon the Trustee shall constitute personal service of such process upon it.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or affect the right of the Depositor, any of the Sellers or the Servicer, as the case may be, to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to start legal proceedings relating to any of the Home Equity Loans against any Mortgagor in the courts of any jurisdiction.

Section 11.12. Counterparts.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 11.13. Usury.

The amount of interest payable or paid on any Certificate under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable laws of the State of New York or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum nonusurious rate that preempts such applicable New York laws, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the "Highest Lawful Rate"). In the event any payment of interest on any Certificate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Trust stipulates that such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid to the Owner of such Certificate as a result of an error on the part of the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust and the Owner receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, refund the amount of such excess or, at the option of such Owner, apply the excess to the payment of principal of such Certificate, if any, remaining unpaid. In addition, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of Owners of Certificates for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Certificates.

Section 11.14. Amendment.

(a) The Trustee, the Depositor, the Sellers and the Servicer may, at any time and from time to time, without the giving of notice to or the receipt of the consent of the Owners, amend this Agreement, and the Trustee shall consent to the amendment for the purposes of (i) if accompanied by an approving Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters, and an Officer's Certificate, which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee, removing the restriction against the transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, (ii) complying with the requirements of the Code including any amendments necessary to maintain REMIC status of each REMIC, (iii) curing any ambiguity, (iv) correcting or supplementing any provisions of this Agreement which are inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement or (v) for any other purpose, provided that in the case of clause (v), such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respect any Owner. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Owner if such Owner shall have consented thereto in writing or if there is delivered to the Trustee written notification from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce its then current rating assigned to the Offered Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no such amendment shall (a) change in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments which are required to be distributed to any Owner without the consent of such Owner or (b) change the percentages of Percentage Interest which are required to consent to any such amendments, without the consent of the Owners of all Certificates of the Class or Classes affected then outstanding. The Trustee shall not be required to execute any amendment or supplement if it affects its rights, duties, immunities or indemnities.

(b) The Rating Agencies shall be provided by the Seller and the Depositor with copies of any amendments to this Agreement, together with copies of any opinions or other documents or instruments executed in connection therewith.

(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any of the Certificates are outstanding.

Section 11.15. Paying Agent; Appointment and Acceptance of Duties.

The Trustee is hereby appointed Paying Agent. The Seller may, if such Person meets the eligibility requirements for the Trustee set forth in Section 10.08 hereof, appoint one or more other Paying Agents or successor Paying Agents.

Each Paying Agent, immediately upon such appointment shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement by written instrument of acceptance deposited with the Trustee.

Each such Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, that such Paying Agent will:

(a) allocate all sums received for distribution to the Owners of Certificates of each Class for which it is acting as Paying Agent on each Distribution Date among such Owners in the proportion specified by the Trustee; and

(b) hold all sums held by it for the distribution of amounts due with respect to the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Owners entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Owners or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided.

Any Paying Agent other than the Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged of the duties and obligations created by this Agreement by giving at least sixty (60) days written notice to the Trustee. Any such Paying Agent may be removed at any time by an instrument filed with such Paying Agent and signed by the Trustee.

In the event of the resignation or removal of any Paying Agent other than the Trustee such Paying Agent shall pay over, assign and deliver any moneys held by it as Paying Agent to its successor, or if there be no successor, to the Trustee.

Upon the appointment, removal or notice of resignation of any Paying Agent, the Trustee shall notify the Owners by mailing notice thereof at their addresses appearing on the Register.

Section 11.16. REMIC Status.

(a) The parties hereto intend that each REMIC created hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of each REMIC created hereunder shall be conducted so as to qualify it as a REMIC in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, Bank One, National Association, or such other person designated pursuant to Section 11.18 hereof shall act as agent for the Trust and as Tax Matters Person for the Trust and that in such capacity it shall: (i) prepare or cause to be prepared and filed, at its own expense, in a timely manner, annual tax returns and any other tax return required to be filed by each REMIC created hereunder using a calendar year as the taxable year for such REMIC; (ii) in the related first such tax return, make (or cause to be made) an election satisfying the requirements of the REMIC Provisions, on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder, for it to be treated as a REMIC; (iii) at the Tax Matters Person's expense, prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Owners all information, reports or tax returns required with respect to each REMIC created hereunder, including Schedule Q to Form 1066, as, when and in the form required to be provided to the Owners, and to the Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant governmental taxing authority in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and any other applicable federal, state or local laws, including without limitation information reports relating to "original issue discount" as defined in the Code based upon the prepayment assumption and calculated by using the "Issue Price" (within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code) of the Certificates of the related Class; provided that the tax return filed on Schedule Q to Form 1066 shall be prepared and forwarded to the Owners of the Class R Certificates no later than 50 days after the end of the period to which such tax return was due; (iv) not take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC created hereunder, except as provided under this Agreement; (v) represent the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to a taxable year of the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder, and otherwise act on behalf of the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder (the legal expenses and costs of any such action described in this subsection (v) and any liability resulting therefrom shall constitute expenses of the Trust and shall constitute Trustee Reimbursable Expenses, unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence); (vi) comply with all statutory or regulatory requirements with regard to its conduct of activities pursuant to the foregoing clauses of this Section 11.16, including, without limitation, providing all notices and other information to the Internal Revenue Service and Owners of Class R Certificates required of a "tax matters person" pursuant to subtitle F of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; (vii) make available information necessary for the computation of any tax imposed (A) on transfer of residual interests to certain Disqualified Organizations or (B) on pass-through entities, any interest in which is held by a Disqualified Organization; and (viii) acquire and hold the Tax Matters Person Residual Interest. The obligations of the Trustee or such other designated Tax Matters Person pursuant to this Section 11.16 shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.

(b) The Sellers, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer covenant and agree for the benefit of the Owners (i) to take no action which would result in the termination of REMIC status for any REMIC created hereunder, (ii) not to engage in any "prohibited transaction", as such term is defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, (iii) not to engage in any other action which may result in the imposition on the Trust of any other taxes under the Code and (iv) to cause the Servicer not to take or engage in any such action, to the extent that either of the Sellers is aware of any such proposed action by the Servicer.

(c) Each REMIC created hereunder shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books on a calendar year basis and report income on an accrual basis.

(d) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 7.05(b), no Eligible Investment shall be sold prior to its stated maturity (unless sold pursuant to a plan of liquidation in accordance with Article IX hereof).

(e) None of the Depositor, the Sellers or the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which the Trustee will receive a fee or other compensation for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (d) and (e), the Trustee or either of the Sellers may engage in any of the transactions prohibited by such clauses, provided that the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to the effect that such transaction does not result in a tax imposed on the Trust or cause a termination of REMIC status for any REMIC created hereunder; provided, however, that such transaction is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on "net income from foreclosure property" of the Trust as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to the Trust after the Startup Date therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee if such tax arises out of or results from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in performance by the Trustee of any of its obligations under Article X, or (ii) to the Servicer if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under Article VIII or otherwise.

Section 11.17. Additional Limitation on Action and Imposition of Tax.

Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall not, without having obtained an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trust to the effect that such transaction does not result in a tax imposed on the Trust or any REMIC created hereunder or cause a termination of REMIC status for any REMIC created hereunder, (i) sell any assets in the Trust Estate, (ii) accept any contribution of assets after the Startup Day, (iii) allow the Servicer to foreclose upon any Home Equity Loan if such foreclosure would result in a tax on the Trust or any REMIC created hereunder or cause termination of REMIC status for any REMIC created hereunder or (iv) agree to any modification of this Agreement. To the extent that sufficient amounts cannot be so retained to pay or provide for the payment of such tax, the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any such Prohibited Transactions of each REMIC created hereunder and use such income, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax; provided that, to the extent that any such income is paid to the Internal Revenue Service, the Trustee shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners of Class R Certificates and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Owners of Offered Certificates to the extent they are fully reimbursed and then to the Owners of the Class R Certificates. If any tax, including interest penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on the Trust, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the owners of the Class R Certificates on a pro rata basis. The Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners of the Class R Certificates sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).

Section 11.18. Appointment of Tax Matters Person.

A Tax Matters Person will be appointed for each REMIC created hereunder for all purposes of the Code and such Tax Matters Person will perform, or cause to be performed, such duties and take, or cause to be taken, such actions as are required to be performed or taken by the Tax Matters Person under the Code. The Tax Matters Person for each REMIC created hereunder shall be the Trustee as long as it owns a Class R Certificate. If the Trustee does not own a Class R Certificate, the Tax Matters Person will be the holder of the largest percentage interest in the Class R Certificates. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed to act as the agent of the Tax Matters Person for all purposes of the Code and regulations thereunder.

Registered Owner

The registered Owner named above is the registered beneficial Owner of a fractional interest in (a) the Home Equity Loans listed in Schedule I-A and Schedule I-B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) which the Seller and the Conduit Sellers are causing to be delivered to the Depositor and the Depositor is causing to be delivered to the Trustee, together with the related Home Equity Loan documents and the Depositor's interest in any Property, and all payments thereon and proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing; (b) such amounts as may be held by the Trustee in the Certificate Account, together with investment earnings on such amounts, and such amounts as may be held in the name of the Trustee in the Principal and Interest Account, if any, inclusive of investment earnings thereon, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other properties (including any Eligible Investments held by the Servicer); and (c) proceeds of all the foregoing (including, but not by way of limitation, all proceeds of any mortgage insurance, flood insurance, hazard insurance and title insurance policy relating to the Home Equity Loans, cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, rights to payment of any and every kind, and other forms of obligations and receivables which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing) to pay the Certificates as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement ((a) - (c) above shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Trust Estate").

The Owner hereof is entitled to principal payments on each Distribution Date, as hereinafter described, which will fully amortize such original Certificate Principal Balance of the Class AF-1 Certificates over the period from the date of initial issuance of the Certificates to the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class AF-1 Certificates. Therefore, the actual outstanding principal amount of this Certificate may, on any date subsequent to February 25, 2002 (the first Distribution Date), be less than the original Certificate Principal Balance of the Class AF-1 Certificates set forth above.

Upon receiving the final distribution hereon, the Owner hereof is required to send this Certificate to the Trustee. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that, in any event, upon the making of the final distribution due on this Certificate, this Certificate shall be deemed canceled for all purposes under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING HOME EQUITY LOANS ARE INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.

THE PRINCIPAL OF THIS CERTIFICATE IS PAYABLE IN INSTALLMENTS. THEREFORE, THE ACTUAL OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ON ANY DATE SUBSEQUENT TO FEBRUARY 25, 2002 (THE FIRST DISTRIBUTION DATE) BE LESS THAN ITS ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE PRINCIPAL BALANCE.

NOTWITHSTANDING REFERENCES HEREIN TO PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST, NO DEBT OF ANY PERSON IS REPRESENTED HEREBY.

This Certificate is one of a Class of duly-authorized Certificates designated as Centex Home Equity Loan Trust 2002-A, Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Class AF-1 (the "Class AF-1 Certificates") and issued under and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of January 1, 2002 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") by and among Centex Home Equity Company, LLC, in its capacity as a seller (the "Seller") and as the servicer (the "Servicer"), CHEC Funding, LLC, in its capacity as depositor (the "Depositor"), CHEC Conduit Funding, LLC, as Conduit Seller, Xxxxxxx Street Funding II, LLC, as Conduit Seller II and Bank One, National Association, in its capacity as the trustee (the "Trustee"), to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Owner of this Certificate by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Owner is bound. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are Certificates designated as Centex Home Equity Loan Trust 2002-A Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Class AF-2 (the "Class AF-2 Certificates"), Class AF-3 (the "Class AF-3 Certificates"), Class AF-4 (the "Class AF-4 Certificates"), Class AF-5 (the "Class AF-5 Certificates"), Class AF-6 (the "Class AF-6 Certificates"), Class MF-1 (the "Class MF-1 Certificates"), Class MF-2 (the "Class MF-2 Certificates"), Class BF (the Class BF Certificates"), Class AV (the "Class AV Certificates"), Class MV-1 (the "Class MV-1 Certificates"), Class MV-2 (the "Class MV-2 Certificates"), Class BV (the Class BV Certificates"), Class X-IO (the "Class X-IO Certificates"), and Class R-1 and Class R-2 (together, the "Class R Certificates"). The Class AF-1 Certificates, the Class AF-2 Certificates, the Class AF-3 Certificates, the Class AF-4 Certificates, the Class AF-5 Certificates, the Class AF-6 Certificates, the Class MF-1 Certificates, the Class MF-2 Certificates, the Class BF Certificates, the Class AV Certificates, the Class MV-1 Certificates, the Class MV-2 Certificates and the Class BV Certificates shall be together referred to as the "Offered Certificates" and the Offered Certificates, the Class X-IO Certificates and the Class R Certificates are together referred to herein as the "Certificates." Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

On the 25th day of each month, or, if such day is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day (each such day being a "Distribution Date") commencing February 25, 2002, the Owners of the Class AF-1 Certificates as of the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which a Distribution Date occurs (the "Record Date") will be entitled to receive the Class Principal Distribution Amount relating to such Certificates on such Distribution Date. Distributions will be made in immediately available funds to Owners of Certificates having an aggregate original Certificate Principal Balance of at least $1,000,000 (by wire transfer or otherwise) to the account of an Owner at a domestic bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Owner has so notified the Trustee, or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Register.

Each Owner of record of a Class AF-1 Certificate will be entitled to receive such Owner's Percentage Interest in the amounts due on such Distribution Date to the Owners of the Class AF-1 Certificates. The Percentage Interest of each Class AF-1 Certificate as of any date of determination will be equal to the percentage obtained by dividing the original Certificate Principal Balance of such Class AF-1 Certificate on the Startup Day by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class AF-1 Certificates on the Startup Day.

The Trustee or any duly-appointed Paying Agent will duly and punctually pay distributions with respect to this Certificate in accordance with the terms hereof and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a distribution to any Owner shall be considered as having been paid by the Trustee to such Owner for all purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Home Equity Loans will be serviced by the Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of certain Home Equity Loans. No appointment of any Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans insured or guaranteed by, CHEC Funding, LLC, Xxxxxxx Street Funding II, LLC or Centex Home Equity Company, LLC or any of their Affiliates. This Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms thereof.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the obligations created thereby will terminate upon the payment to the Owners of all Certificates of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to such Owners pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides that the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates may, at its option, purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the Certificates, on any Distribution Date on or after the Clean-Up Call Date. If the Owner of the Class X-IO Certificates does not exercise this optional purchase on the Clean-Up Call Date, then (i) on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee will begin an auction process to sell the Home Equity Loans and (ii) on the third Distribution Date following such date and on each Distribution Date thereafter, the amounts that otherwise would have been payable to the Class X-IO Certificates will be paid to the Offered Certificates as an additional principal distribution amount. In addition, under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of REMIC I and REMIC II as REMICs under the Code, the Home Equity Loans may be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.

The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.

The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Owners; provided that in certain other circumstances provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such consent of the Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Certificate.

The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on each Distribution Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Class AF-1 Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates in minimum denominations of $25,000 original Certificate Principal Balance and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $25,000. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class AF-1 Certificates are exchangeable for new Class AF-1 Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate principal amount.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed on behalf of the Trust.
