foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise and (b) the proceeds

of any hazard insurance policies on the Mortgaged Properties; and

 

 

         WHEREAS, each Seller wants to sell its Mortgage Loans to the

                                  DEFINITIONS

         Section 2.01. Sale of the Mortgage Loans.

 

         (a) The Mortgage Loans. Concurrently with the execution and delivery

of this Agreement, [CHL], with respect to each Mortgage Loan it owns as

indicated on Schedule I, hereby transfers to the Purchaser, without recourse,

all of its right, title, and interest existing now or in the future in

 

                  (1) that Mortgage Loan, including its Asset Balance

         (including all Additional Balances), the related Mortgage File, all

         property that secures that Mortgage Loan, and all collections

         received on it after the Cut-off Date (excluding payments due by the

         Cut-off Date);

 

                  (2) property that secured that Mortgage Loan that is

         acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure;

 

                  (3) its rights under the hazard insurance policies related

         to the mortgages that secure the Mortgage Loans;

 

                  (4) all rights under any guaranty executed in connection

         with that Mortgage Loan;

 

                  (5) all other assets included or to be included in the Trust

         for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Credit Enhancer; and

 

                   (6) all proceeds of the foregoing.

 

         [___________], with respect to each Mortgage Loan it owns as

indicated on Schedule I, hereby transfers to the Purchaser, without recourse,

all of its right, title, and interest existing now or in the future in

 

                  (1) that Mortgage Loan, including its Asset Balance

         for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Credit Enhancer; and

 

                  (6) all proceeds of the foregoing.

 

         (b) By the sale of a Mortgage Loan and its Additional Balances, each

Seller has sold to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser has purchased from each

Seller, each future draw of new borrowing under the related Credit Line

Agreement. The Purchaser shall pay the applicable Seller for each Additional

Balance in cash in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Additional

Balance as it arises. The Trust, the applicable Seller, and the Purchaser may

agree to a netting arrangement in connection with this transaction, when

appropriate, rather than actually moving cash.

 

         Section 2.02. Obligations of Sellers Upon Sale.

 

         In connection with the transfers pursuant to Section 2.01(a), each

Seller further agrees, at its own expense:

 

         (a) to deliver to the Purchaser by the Closing Date a Mortgage Loan

Schedule containing an accurate list of all Mortgage Loans sold by it,

specifying for each Mortgage Loan, among other things, its account number and

its Cut-off Date Asset Balance; and

 

         (b) to indicate in its books and records that the applicable Mortgage

Loans have been sold to the Indenture Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser,

pursuant to this Agreement by the Closing Date for the Mortgage Loans.

 

         The Mortgage Loan Schedule containing the Mortgage Loans sold by both

Sellers is Exhibit A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall also be

attached as Schedule I to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into this

Agreement.

 

         Each Seller agrees to perfect and protect the Purchaser's interest in

each Mortgage Loan transferred by it pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and its

proceeds by preparing, executing, and filing a UCC1 Financing Statement with

the Secretary of State in the State of New York describing the Mortgage Loans

and naming the applicable Seller as debtor and the Purchaser as secured party

and indicating that the Mortgage Loans have been assigned to the Trust and all

necessary Continuation Statements and any additional UCC1 Financing Statements

due to a change in the name or the state of incorporation of that Seller. The

Financing Statement shall be filed by the Closing Date. This Financing

Statement will state in bold-faced type that a purchase of the Mortgage Loans

included in the collateral covered by the Financing Statement from the debtor

will violate the rights of the secured party and its assignee.

 

         The Purchaser agrees to perfect and protect the Trust's interest in

each Mortgage Loan and its proceeds by preparing, executing, and filing a UCC1

Financing Statement with the

 

 

                                       3

Secretary of State in the State of Delaware describing the Mortgage Loans and

naming the Purchaser as debtor and the Trust as secured party (and indicating

that the Mortgage Loans have been pledged to the Indenture Trustee) and all

necessary Continuation Statements and any additional UCC1 Financing Statements

due to a change in the name or the state of incorporation of the Purchaser.

The Financing Statement shall be filed by the Closing Date. This Financing

Statement will state in bold-faced type that a purchase of the Mortgage Loans

included in the collateral covered by the Financing Statement from the debtor

will violate the rights of the secured party and its assignee.

 

         In connection with any transfer by each Seller, it shall deliver to

the order of the Purchaser the following documents for each Mortgage Loan

transferred by that Seller (the "Related Documentation"):

 

                  (1) the original Mortgage Note endorsed in blank or, if the

         original Mortgage Note has been lost or destroyed and not replaced,

         an original lost note affidavit from the Seller stating that the

         original Mortgage Note was lost, misplaced, or destroyed, together

         with a copy of the related Mortgage Note;

 

                   (2) unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R)

         System, an original assignment of mortgage in blank in recordable

         form;

 

                  (3) the original recorded mortgage with evidence of

         recording on it (noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan

         and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the

         Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan) or, if the original recorded mortgage

         with evidence of recording on it cannot be delivered by the Closing

         Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where

         the original Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because

         the original Mortgage has been lost, the Seller shall deliver to the

          Indenture Trustee an accurate copy of the mortgage, together with (i)

         when the delay is caused by the public recording office, an Officer's

         Certificate of the Seller or the Purchaser stating that the original

         mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate public recording

         official or (ii) when the original mortgage has been lost, a

         certificate by the appropriate county recording office where the

         mortgage is recorded;

 

                  (4) any original intervening assignments needed for a

         complete chain of title to the Trust with evidence of recording on

         them, or, if any original intervening assignment has not been

         returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost, an

         accurate copy of it, together with (i) when the delay is caused by

         the public recording office, an Officer's Certificate of the Seller

         or the Purchaser stating that the original intervening assignment has

         been dispatched to the appropriate public recording official for

         recordation or (ii) when the original intervening assignment has been

         lost, a certificate by the appropriate county recording office where

         the mortgage is recorded;

 

 

 

                                       4

<PAGE>

 

                  (5) a title policy for each Mortgage Loan with a Credit

         Limit in excess of $100,000;

 

                  (6) the original of any guaranty executed in connection with

         the Mortgage Note;

 

                  (7) the original of each assumption, modification,

         consolidation, or substitution agreement relating to the Mortgage

         Loan; and

 

                  (8) any security agreement, chattel mortgage, or equivalent

          instrument executed in connection with the Mortgage.

 

         The Related Documentation will be delivered:

 

               (1) no later than the Closing Date, with respect to no less

         than [50%] of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group,

 

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

         with respect to no less than [40%] of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan

         Group in addition to those delivered on the Closing Date, and

 

               (3) within [thirty] days following the Closing Date, with

         respect to the remaining Mortgage Loans.

 

         Each Seller confirms to the Purchaser that, as of the Closing Date,

it has caused the portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Mortgage

Loans maintained by that Seller to be clearly and unambiguously marked to

indicate that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser, and sold by

the Purchaser to the Trust, and Granted by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee,

and that a purchase of those Mortgage Loans from that Seller or the Purchaser

will violate the rights of the Trust, as secured party with respect to those

Mortgage Loans. By the applicable date of substitution, that Seller shall

cause the portions of the Electronic Ledgers relating to the relevant Eligible

Substitute Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, to be clearly and unambiguously

marked, and shall make appropriate entries in its general accounting records,

to indicate that those Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust at

the direction of the Purchaser and that they have been Granted by the Trust to

the Indenture Trustee, and that a purchase of the Mortgage Loans from that

Seller or the Purchaser will violate the rights of the Trust, as secured party

with respect to those Mortgage Loans.

 

         The Purchaser accepts all right, title, and interest of each of the

Sellers existing now or in the future in the Mortgage Loans and other property

transferred to it pursuant to this Section.

 

         Notwithstanding the characterization of the Notes as debt for

federal, state, and local income and franchise tax purposes, the transfer of

the Mortgage Loans is a sale by each Seller to the Purchaser of all its

interest in the applicable Mortgage Loans and other property described

 

 

                                       5

<PAGE>

 

above. However, to provide for the possibility that either transfer might be

characterized as a transfer for security and not as a sale, each Seller hereby

Grants to the Purchaser a Security Interest in all of its right, title, and

interest in the applicable Mortgage Loans and other property described above,

whether existing now or in the future, to secure all of that its obligations

under this Agreement; and this Agreement shall constitute a Security Agreement

under applicable law.

 

         Section 2.03. Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans.

 

         In consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans from each of the

Sellers to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to transfer

to the applicable Seller on the Closing Date the purchase price for the

applicable Mortgage Loans provided in the Adoption Annex attached as Annex 1

to this Agreement (the "Adoption Annex").

         Section 3.02. Seller Representations and Warranties Relating to the

Mortgage Loans.

 

         (a) [CHL] represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the Cut-off

Date, unless specifically stated otherwise:

 

                   (1) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible

         Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution) this

         Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the

         applicable Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with

         its terms.

 

                  (2) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible

         Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution),

         either

 

                            (A) this Agreement constitutes a valid transfer to

                  the Purchaser of all right, title, and interest of each of

                  encumbrances, and is part of the corpus of the Trust

                  Servicing Agreement will constitute a valid transfer to the

                   Trust of all interest of each of the Sellers in the

                  Additional Balances, all proceeds of the Additional

                  Balances, and all other property specified in Section

                  Agreement, or

 

                           (B) this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing

                  Agreement, as appropriate, constitutes a Grant of a Security

                  Interest to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the

                  Indenture constitutes a Grant of a Security Interest to the

                   Indenture Trustee in the property described in clause (A)

                  above. If this Agreement and the Sale and Servicing

                  Agreement constitute the Grant of a Security Interest to the

                  Trust and the Indenture constitutes a Grant of a Security

                  Interest to the Indenture Trustee in such property, the

                  Indenture Trustee will have a first priority perfected

         the Depositor, the Trust, or the Indenture Trustee under this

         Agreement, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or pursuant

         to the Indenture, (B) that has been terminated, or (C) that names the

         Depositor, the Trust, or the Indenture Trustee as secured party.

 

                  (4) As of the Closing Date, the information in the Mortgage

         and the related Seller is their sole owner and holder free of any

         liens, claims, encumbrances, participation interests, equities,

         pledges, charges, or Security Interests of any nature, and has full
