Interest having an
"R-2-A-" designation (each, an "R-2-A Interest") will have a
principal
balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Subordinate Component

its
Corresponding Loan Group over the initial aggregate principal
balances
of the R-2-A, R-2-B, R-2-C and R-2-D Interests corresponding to
such

REMIC 2. It
has no principal balance and pays no principal or interest.
(9) This REMIC 2 Interest pays no principal.
(10) This REMIC 2 Interest is entitiled to all amounts payable
with respect
to the R-1-XF Interest.
(11) This REMIC 2 Interest is entitiled to all amounts payable
with respect
to the R-1-XV Interest.
On each Distribution Date, the Interest Funds and the
Principal
Distribution Amounts payable with respect to the REMIC 1
Interests shall be
payable with respect to the REMIC 2 Interests in the following
manner:
4
<PAGE>
(1) Interest. Interest is to be distributed with respect to each
REMIC 2
Interest at the rate, or according to the formulas, described
above.
(2) Principal. All Principal Distribution Amounts arising with
respect
to Loan Group 1 shall be allocated to the Fixed Interests.
(3) Principal if no Cross-Over Situation Exists. If no
Cross-Over
Situation exists with respect to any Variable Interest, then the
Principal
Distribution Amounts payable with respect to each Variable Loan
Group will be
payable: first to cause the Variable Loan Group's corresponding
R-2-A, R-2-B,
R-2-C and R-2-D Interests to equal, respectively, 0.9% of the
SCB, 0.1% of the
SCB, 0.9% of the ASCB and 0.1% of the ASCB, of the Corresponding
Loan Group,
and then to the corresponding R-2-E Interest.
(4) Principal if a Cross-Over Situation Exists. If a
Cross-Over
Situation exists with respect to the R-2-A and R-2-B Interests
then:
(a) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding R-2-A
and
R-2-B Interests is less than the Adjustable Rate Subordinate Net
Rate Cap,
Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to
the outstanding
R-2-A Interests prior to any other principal distributions from
each such
Variable Loan Group; and
(b) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding R-2-A
and
R-2-B Interests is greater than the Adjustable Rate Subordinate
Net Rate Cap,
Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to
the outstanding
R-2-B Interests prior to any other principal distributions from
each such
Variable Loan Group.
In each case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as
to cause the
Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding R-2-A and R-2-B
Interests to
equal the Adjustable Rate Subordinate Net Rate Cap. With respect
to each
Variable Loan Group, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a)
the principal
payments comprising the Principal Distribution Amount payable
for the related
Distribution Date and (b) the Realized Losses, are insufficient
to make the
necessary reductions of principal on the R-2-A and R-2-B
Interests, then
interest will be added to the Variable Loan Group's R-2-E
Interest.
(c) The outstanding aggregate R-2-A and R-2-B Interests for both
Variable Loan
Groups will not be reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i)
the aggregate
outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all Variable Loan
Groups as of the
end of any Due Period over (ii) the Senior Certificates related
to the
Variable Loan Groups as of the related Distribution Date (after
taking into
account distributions of principal on such Distribution
Date).
If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c)
prevents the
distribution of principal to the R-2-A and R-2-B Interests of a
Variable Loan
Group, and if the Variable Loan Group's corresponding R-2-E
Interest has
already been reduced to zero, then the excess principal from
that Variable
Loan Group will be paid to the R-2-E Interest of the other
Variable Loan
Group, the aggregate R-2-A and R-2-B Interests of which are less
than one
percent of the Subordinate Component Balance. If the Variable
Loan Group of
the corresponding R-2-E Interest that receives such payment has
a Group Net
Rate Cap below the Group Net Rate Cap of the Variable Loan Group
making the
payment, then the payment will be treated by REMIC 2 as a
Realized
5
<PAGE>
Loss. Conversely, if the Variable Loan Group of the R-2-E
Interest that
receives such payment has a Group Net Rate Cap above the Group
Net Rate Cap of
the Variable Loan Group making the payment, then the payment
will be treated
by REMIC 2 as a reimbursement for prior Realized Losses.
If a Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to the R-2-C and
R-2-D Interests
then:
(d) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding R-2-C
and
R-2-D Interests is less than the Adjusted Subordinate Net Rate
Cap, Principal
Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the R-2-C
Interests prior
to any other principal distributions from each such Variable
Loan Group; and
(e) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding R-2-C
and
R-2-D Interests is greater than the Adjusted Subordinate Net
Rate Cap,
Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to
the outstanding
R-2-D Interests prior to any other principal distributions from
each such
Variable Loan Group.
In each case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as
to cause the
Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding R-2-C and R-2-D
Interests to
equal the Adjusted Subordinate Net Rate Cap. With respect to
each Variable
Loan Group, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a) the
principal payments
comprising the Principal Distribution Amount payable for the
related
Distribution Date and (b) the Realized Losses, are insufficient
to make the
necessary reductions of principal on the R-2-C and R-2-D
Interests, then
interest will be added to the Variable Loan Group's R-2-E
Interest.
(f) The outstanding aggregate R-2-C and R-2-D Interests for all
Variable
Loan Groups will not be reduced below 1 percent of the excess of
(i) the
aggregate outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all Variable
Loan Groups as
of the end of any Due Period over (ii) the Senior Certificates
related to the
Variable Loan Groups as of the related Distribution Date (after
taking into
account distributions of principal on such Distribution
Date).
If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (f)
prevents the
distribution of principal to the R-2-C and R-2-D Interests of a
Variable Loan
Group, and if the Variable Loan Group's R-2-E Interest has
already been
reduced to zero, then the excess principal from that Variable
Loan Group will
be paid to the R-2-E Interests of the other Variable Loan Group,
the aggregate
R-2-C and R-2-D Interests of which are less than one percent of
the Adjusted
Subordinate Component Balance. If the Variable Loan Group of the
R-2-E
Interest that receives such payment has a Group Net Rate Cap
below the Group
Net Rate Cap of the Variable Loan Group making the payment, then
the payment
will be treated by REMIC 2 as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if
the Variable
Loan Group of the R-2- E Interest that receives such payment has
a Group Net
Rate Cap above the Group Net Rate Cap of the Variable Loan Group
making the
payment, then the payment will be treated by REMIC 2 as a
reimbursement for
prior Realized Losses.

Pass-Through Rates
identified in this Agreement. For federal income tax purposes,
the pass
through rate in respect of (i) each of the Class AF (other than
the
Class AF-5B Certificates), Class MF and Class BF Certificates
will be
subject to a cap equal to the Loan Group 1 Net Rate Cap, (ii)
the Class

subject to a cap equal to the Loan Group 2 Net Rate Cap, (iv)
the Class
3-AV Certificates will be subject to a cap equal to the Loan
Group 3 Net
Rate Cap, and (v) the Class MV Certificates and the Class BV
Certificates will be subject to a cap equal to the Adjusted
Subordinate
Net Rate Cap. Any entitlement of any class of Certificates to
Net Rate
Carryover will be treated as paid by the Master REMIC to the
Class CF
Certificates, in the case of the Class AF Certificates, the
Class MF
Certificates and the Class BF Certificates, and to the Class
CV
Certificates, in the case of the Class AV Certificates, the
Class MV
Certificates and the Class BV Certificates, and then paid to
such Class
of Certificates pursuant to a limited recourse cap contract as
described
in Section 8.11 herein.
(2) The Class CF and Class CV Certificates will have Certificate
Principal
Balances equal to the Fixed Rate Overcollateralized Amount
and
Adjustable Rate Overcollateralized Amount, respectively.
(3) For each Interest Accrual Period the Class CF Certificates
are entitled
to an amount (the "Class CF Distributable Amount") equal to the
sum of
(a) the interest payable on the R-3-XF Interests and (b) a
specified
portion of the interest on the REMIC 1 Group 1 "I" and "S"
Interests
equal to the excess of the Loan Group 1 Net Rate Cap over the
product of
two and the weighted average interest rate of the REMIC 3
Regular
Interests having an "F" designated in the column entitled "REMIC
3
Interests" (other than the R-3-PF and R-3-XF Interests) with
each such
Class other than the R-3-F-Accrual Interest, subject to a cap
equal to
the Pass-Through Rate of the Corresponding Master REMIC Class
and the
R-3-F-Accrual Interest subject to a cap of 0.00%. The
Pass-Through Rate
of the Class CF Certificates shall be a rate sufficient to
entitle it to
all interest accrued on the REMIC 1 Group 1 "I" and "S"
Interests less
the interest accrued on the other F Class interests issued by
the Master
REMIC. The Class CF Distributable Amount for any Distribution
Date is
payable from current interest on the Group 1 Mortgage Loans.
(4) For each Interest Accrual Period the Class CV Certificates
are entitled
to an amount (the "Class CV Distributable Amount") equal to the
sum of
(a) the interest payable on the R-3-XV Interests and (b) a
specified
portion of the interest on the REMIC 1 Group 2 and Group 3 "I"
and "S"
Interests equal to the excess of the Loan Group 2/3 Net Rate Cap
over
the product of two and the weighted average interest rate of the
REMIC 3
Regular Interests having an "V" designated in the column
entitled "REMIC
3 Interests" (other than the R-3-PV and R-3-XV Interests) with
each such
Class other than the R-3-V-Accrual Interest, subject to a cap
equal to
the Pass-Through Rate of the Corresponding Master REMIC Class
and the
R-3-V-Accrual Interest subject to a cap of 0.00%. The
Pass-Through Rate
of the Class CV Certificates shall be a rate sufficient to
entitle it to
all interest accrued on the REMIC 1 Group 2 and Group 3 "I" and
"S"
Interests less the interest accrued on the other V Class
interests
issued by the Master REMIC . The Class CV Distributable Amount
for any
Distribution Date is payable from current interest on the Group
2 and
Group 3 Mortgage Loans.
(5) For each Distribution Date the Class PF and Class PV
Certificates are
entitled to all Prepayment Charges distributed with respect to
the
R-3-PF and R-3-PV Interests, respectively.
(6) The Class A-R Certificates represent the sole class of
residual interest
in each REMIC created hereunder. The Class A-R Certificates are
not
entitled to distributions of interest.
The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the
cash
from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Master REMIC as
cash flow on a
REMIC regular interest, without creating any shortfall--actual
or potential
(other than for credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest. It
is not
intended that the Class A-R be entitled to any cash flows
pursuant to this
agreement except as provided in Sections 4.02(a)(1)(ii) and
(iv)(y) hereunder,
(that is, its entitlement to $100 in the waterfall).

The
Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as trustee
under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of March 1,
2005,
without recourse" (each such assignment, when duly and

assignment of and
65
<PAGE>
transfer to the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which
such
assignment relates);

Mortgage together with all interim recorded assignments of
such
Mortgage (noting the presence of a MIN in the case of each
MERS
Mortgage Loan);

written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(vi) the original or duplicate original lender's title

been
received from the insurer, such original or duplicate
original
lender's title policy and all riders thereto shall be
delivered
within one year of the Closing Date.
In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS
Mortgage Loan, each Seller agrees that it will cause, at such
Seller's own
expense, the MERS(R) System to indicate (and provide evidence to
the Trustee
that it has done so) that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned
by such
Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the
benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of
Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such
computer
files (a) the code "[IDENTIFY TRUSTEE SPECIFIC CODE]" in the
field "[IDENTIFY
THE FIELD NAME FOR TRUSTEE]" which identifies the Trustee and
(b) the code
"[IDENTIFY SERIES SPECIFIC CODE NUMBER]" in the field "Pool
Field" which
identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection
with such
Mortgage Loans. The Sellers further agree that they will not,
and will not
permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees
that it will
not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect
to any Mortgage
Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such
Mortgage Loan is
repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is
not
a MERS Mortgage Loan a Seller cannot deliver the original
recorded Mortgage or
all interim recorded assignments of the Mortgage satisfying the
requirements
of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) concurrently with the execution
and delivery
hereof, such Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Co-Trustee a
true copy of such Mortgage and of each such undelivered interim
assignment of
the Mortgage each certified by such Seller, the applicable title
company,
escrow agent or attorney, or the originator of such Mortgage, as
the case may
be, to be a true and complete copy of the original Mortgage or
assignment of
Mortgage submitted for recording. For any such Mortgage Loan
that is not a
MERS Mortgage Loan each Seller shall promptly deliver or cause
to be delivered
to the Co-Trustee such original Mortgage and such assignment or
assignments
with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt
thereof from the
public recording official, or a copy thereof, certified, if
appropriate, by
the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such
delivery be made
later than 270 days following the Closing Date; provided that in
the event
that by such date such Seller is unable to deliver or cause to
be delivered
each such Mortgage and each interim assignment by reason of the
fact that any
such documents have not been returned by the appropriate
recording office, or,
in the case of each interim assignment,
66
<PAGE>
because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the
appropriate
recording office, such Seller shall deliver or cause to be
delivered such
documents to the Co-Trustee as promptly as possible upon receipt
thereof. If
the public recording office in which a Mortgage or interim
assignment thereof
is recorded retains the original of such Mortgage or assignment,
a copy of the
original Mortgage or assignment so retained, with evidence of
recording
thereon, certified to be true and complete by such recording
office, shall
satisfy a Seller's obligations in Section 2.01. If any document
submitted for
recording pursuant to this Agreement is (x) lost prior to
recording or
rejected by the applicable recording office, the applicable
Seller shall
immediately prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute and
submit it for
recording, and shall deliver copies and originals thereof in
accordance with
the foregoing or (y) lost after recording, the applicable Seller
shall deliver
to the Co-Trustee a copy of such document certified by the
applicable public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original
recorded
document. Each Seller shall promptly forward or cause to be
forwarded to the
Co-Trustee (x) from time to time additional original documents
evidencing an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (y) any other
documents
required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer
to the
Co-Trustee within the time periods specified in this Section
2.01.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a MERS Mortgage
Loan
as to which the related Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File are
located in
(a) the State of California or (b) any other jurisdiction under
the laws of
which the recordation of the assignment specified in clause
(iii) above is not
necessary to protect the Trustee's and the Certificateholders'
interest in the
related Mortgage Loan, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
delivered by CHL
to the Trustee and a copy to the Rating Agencies, in lieu of
recording the
assignment specified in clause (iii) above, the applicable
Seller may deliver
an unrecorded assignment in blank, in form otherwise suitable
for recording to
the Co-Trustee; provided that if the related Mortgage has not
been returned
from the applicable public recording office, such assignment, or
any copy
thereof, of the Mortgage may exclude the information to be
provided by the
recording office. As to any Mortgage Loan other than a MERS
Mortgage Loan, the
procedures of the preceding sentence shall be applicable only so
long as the
related Mortgage File is maintained in the possession of the
Co-Trustee in the
State or jurisdiction described in such sentence. In the event
that with

the
State of California, the Co-Trustee or its agent shall maintain
possession of
and not remove or attempt to remove from the State of California

clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the above paragraph, the Master
Servicer shall
prepare and, if required hereunder, file such assignments for
recordation in
the appropriate real property or other records office. Each
Seller hereby
appoints the Master Servicer (and any successor servicer
hereunder) as its
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority acting in its
stead for the
purpose of such preparation, execution and filing.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that become the subject of a
Principal Prepayment between the Closing Date (in the case of
Initial Mortgage

Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the period provided in the
prior sentence,
the cure period provided for in Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03
shall not
apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such
Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan, but rather CHL shall have five (5) Business Days
to cure such
failure to deliver. CHL shall promptly provide each Rating
Agency with written
notice of any cure, repurchase or substitution made pursuant to
the proviso of
the preceding sentence. On or before the thirtieth (30th) day

Mortgage File. On or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the
Closing Date
(or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the succeeding
Business Day),
the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and CHL (on
behalf of each Seller) a Delay Delivery Certification with
respect to the

Co-Trustee or the
Trustee, as applicable, shall be under no duty or obligation to
inspect,
review or examine such documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to
determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate
for the
represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in
the real

be on their
face.
Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall
deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and CHL (on behalf
of each
Seller), and to any Certificateholder that so requests, a Final

the
order of ________________ without recourse", with all
intervening
endorsements that show a complete chain of endorsement from
the
originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note
69
<PAGE>
(each such endorsement being sufficient to transfer all
right,
title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder
or
assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note), or, if the
original Mortgage Note has been lost or destroyed and not
replaced, an original lost note affidavit, stating that the
original Mortgage Note was lost or destroyed, together with a
copy
of the related Mortgage Note;
(ii) in the case of each Initial Mortgage Loan that is not a
MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage, and in
the
case of each Initial Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan,
the original Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the
Initial Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the
Mortgage
Loan is a MOM Loan if the Initial Mortgage Loan is a MOM
Loan,
with evidence of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of
the
Mortgage certified by the public recording office in which
Mortgage has been recorded;
(iii) in the case of each Initial Mortgage Loan that is not
a MERS Mortgage Loan, a duly executed assignment of the
Mortgage

Mortgage Loan);
(v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(vi) the original or duplicate original lender's title
policy or a printout of the electronic equivalent and all
riders
thereto.
If, in the course of such review, the Co-Trustee finds any
document or documents constituting a part of such Mortgage File
that do not
meet the requirements of clauses (i)-(iv) and (vi) above, the
Trustee shall
include such exceptions in such Final Certification (and the
Trustee shall
state in such Final Certification whether any Mortgage File does
not then
include the original or duplicate original lender's title policy
or a printout
of the electronic equivalent and all riders thereto). If the
public recording
office in which a Mortgage or assignment thereof is recorded
retains the
original of such Mortgage or assignment, a copy of the original
Mortgage or
assignment so retained, with evidence of recording thereon,
certified to be
true and complete by such recording office, shall be deemed to
satisfy the
requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, as applicable.

CHL's request such instruments of transfer or assignment as CHL
has prepared,
in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
CHL, or a

released
pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions CHL
repurchases an
Initial Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall
cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage

such Mortgage
to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in
accordance with MERS'

Seller) a Delay

not replaced, an original lost note affidavit, stating that the
original
Mortgage Note was lost or destroyed, together with a copy of the
related
Mortgage Note;
(ii) in the case of each Subsequent Mortgage Loan that is

easements and other matters of public record as of the date of
recording

(16) As of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial

knowledge,
each Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and is in
good
repair.
(17) As of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial

Trustee);
satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or

Note.
(28) The origination, underwriting, servicing and collection
practices with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all

Loan Group 2 and Loan Group 3 are secured by single family
detached
dwellings. No more than approximately the percentage specified

No more than approximately the percentage specified in the
Collateral
Schedule of the Initial Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1, Loan
Group 2 and
Loan Group 3 are secured by low-rise condominium units. No more

(37) At the Cut-off Date, the improvements upon each
Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard
insurance
policy with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for
fire and
extended coverage and coverage for such other hazards as are
customary
in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount
that is
at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value
of the
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of
(a) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an
amount
such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to
prevent the
Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If
the
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under
the
coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the condominium unit.
All such
individual insurance policies and all flood policies referred to
in item
(38) below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the
applicable
Seller or the original mortgagee, and its successors in
interest, as
mortgagee, and the applicable Seller has received no notice that
any
premiums due and payable thereon have not been paid; the
Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
insurance,
including flood insurance, at the Mortgagor's cost and expense,
and upon
the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage
to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost
and
expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor.
(38) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in
the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as
having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form
meeting
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood
Insurance
Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged
Property with
a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing
coverage not
less than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal
balance of
the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate
for
damage or loss on a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum
amount of
insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection

(39) To the best of CHL's knowledge, there is no proceeding
occurring, pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation
of the Mortgaged Property.
(40) There is no material monetary default existing under
any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and, to the best of
CHL's
knowledge, there is no material event that, with the passage of
time or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
under
the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and no Seller has
waived any
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
(41) Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to
four-family residential dwelling, including condominium units
and
dwelling units in PUDs. To the best of CHL's knowledge, no
improvement
to a Mortgaged Property includes a cooperative or a mobile home
or
constitutes other than real property under state law.
(42) Each Mortgage Loan is being serviced by the Master
Servicer.
(43) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have
been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured
by the
Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated,
bears a
single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the
Mortgage
Loan Schedule. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed
the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage
Note does
not permit or obligate the Master Servicer to make future
advances to
the Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor.
(44) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments
or
ground rents that previously became due and owing have been
paid, or an
escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to
pay for
every such item that remains unpaid and that has been assessed,
but is
not yet due and payable. Except for (A) payments in the nature
of escrow
payments, and (B) interest accruing from the date of the
Mortgage Note
or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is
later, to
the day that precedes by one month the Due Date of the first
installment
of principal and interest, including without limitation, taxes
and
insurance payments, the Master Servicer has not advanced funds,
or
induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by
a party
other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the
payment of any
amount required by the Mortgage.
(45) The Mortgage Loans originated by CHL were underwritten
in all material respects in accordance with CHL's
underwriting
guidelines for credit blemished quality mortgage loans or, with
respect
to Mortgage Loans purchased by CHL were underwritten in all
material
respects in accordance with customary and prudent
underwriting
guidelines generally used by originators of credit blemished
quality
mortgage loans.
(46) Prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application,
an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was obtained from
a
qualified appraiser, duly
82
<PAGE>
appointed by the originator, who had no interest, direct or
indirect, in
the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security
thereof, and
whose compensation is not affected by the approval or
disapproval of the
Mortgage Loan; such appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie
Mae and
Freddie Mac.
(47) None of the Mortgage Loans is a graduated payment
mortgage loan or a growing equity mortgage loan, and no Mortgage
Loan is
subject to a buydown or similar arrangement.
(48) The Mortgage Rates borne by the Initial Mortgage Loans
in Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2 and Loan Group 3 as of the Cut-off
Date
ranged between the approximate per annum percentages specified
on the
Collateral Schedule and the weighted average Mortgage Rate as of
the
Cut-off Date was approximately the per annum rate specified on
the
Collateral Schedule.
(49) The Mortgage Loans were selected from among the
outstanding one- to four-family mortgage loans in the
applicable
Seller's portfolio at the Closing Date as to which the
representations
and warranties made as to the Mortgage Loans set forth in this
Section
2.03(b) and Sections 2.03(c) and 2.03(d) can be made. No
selection was
made in a manner that would adversely affect the interests
of
Certificateholders.
(50) The Gross Margins on the Initial Mortgage Loans in Loan
Group 1, Loan Group 2 and Loan Group 3 range between the
approximate
percentages specified on the Collateral Schedule, and the
weighted
average Gross Margin was approximately the percentage specified
in the
Collateral Schedule.
(51) Each of the Initial Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool
has a Due Date on or before the date specified in the
Collateral
Schedule.
(52) The Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate,
conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof in
the
Prospectus Supplement.
(53) There is no obligation on the part of any Seller under
the terms of the Mortgage or related Mortgage Note to make
payments in
addition to those made by the Mortgagor.
(54) Any leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a
term of not less than five years in excess of the term of the
related
Mortgage Loan.
(55) Each Mortgage Loan represents a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860(a)(3) of the Code (but without
regard
to the rule in Treasury Regulation ss. 1.860G-2(f)(2) that
treats a
defective obligation as a qualified mortgage, or any
substantially
similar successor provision) and applicable Treasury
regulations
promulgated thereunder.
(56) No Mortgage Loan was either a "consumer credit
contract" or a "purchase money loan" as such terms are defined
in 16
C.F.R. ss. 433 nor is any Mortgage Loan a "mortgage" as defined
in 15
U.S.C. ss. 1602(aa).
83
<PAGE>
(57) To the extent required under applicable law, each
originator and subsequent mortgagee or servicer of the Mortgage
Loan
complied with all licensing requirements and was authorized to
transact
and do business in the jurisdiction in which the related
Mortgaged
Property is located at all times when it held or serviced the
Mortgage
Loan. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local
laws or
regulations, including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending,
real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit
protection,
anti-predatory lending, fair credit reporting, unfair
collection
practice, equal credit opportunity, fair housing and disclosure
laws and
regulations, applicable to the solicitation, origination,
collection and
servicing of such Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all
material
respects; and any obligations of the Holder of the Mortgage
Note,
Mortgage and other loan documents have been complied with in
all
material respects; servicing of each Mortgage Loan has been
in
accordance with prudent mortgage servicing standards, any
applicable
laws, rules and regulations and in accordance with the terms of
the
Mortgage Notes, Mortgage and other loan documents, whether
such
origination and servicing was done by the applicable Seller,
its
affiliates, or any third party which originated the Mortgage
Loan on
behalf of, or sold the Mortgage Loan to, any of them, or any
servicing
agent of any of the foregoing.
(58) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of
credit for the Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical
principles
which relate the borrower's income, assets and liabilities to
the
proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely
on the
extent of the borrower's equity in the collateral as the
principal
determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting
methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the borrower had a reasonable ability to
make
timely payments on the Mortgage Loan.
(59) No borrower was required to purchase any credit life,
disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition
of
obtaining the extension of credit. No borrower obtained a
prepaid
single-premium credit life, disability, accident or health
insurance
policy in connection with the origination of the Mortgage
Loan;
(60) If the Mortgage Loan provides that the interest rate on
the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan may be
adjusted, all
of the terms of the related Mortgage pertaining to interest
rate
adjustments, payment adjustments and adjustments of the
outstanding
principal balance have been made in accordance with the terms of
the
related Mortgage Note and applicable law and are enforceable and
such
adjustments will not affect the priority of the Mortgage
lien;
(61) The Mortgaged Property complies with all applicable
laws, rules and regulations relating to environmental matters,
including
but not limited to those relating to radon, asbestos and lead
paint and
no Seller nor, to the best of CHL's knowledge, the Mortgagor,
has
received any notice of any violation or potential violation of
such law;
(62) There is no action, suit or proceeding pending, o
