Group, and then to the Loan Group's corresponding R-2-E Interest.

 

      (3)    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 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 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 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 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 Subordinate Net Rate Cap. With respect to each 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

Loan Group's R-2-E Interest.

 

            (c)    The outstanding aggregate R-2-A and R-2-B Interests for the

Loan Groups will not be reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i) the

aggregate outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all Loan Groups as of the

end of any Due Period over (ii) the Senior Certificates related to the 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 Loan Group,

and if the Loan Group's corresponding R-2-E Interest has already been reduced

to zero, then the excess principal from that Loan Group will be paid to the

R-2-E Interest of the other 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 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 Loan

Group making the payment, then the payment will be treated by REMIC 2 as a

Realized Loss. Conversely, if the 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 Loan

 

 

                                       4

<PAGE>

 

 

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 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 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 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 Loan Group's R-2-E Interest.

 

            (f)    The outstanding aggregate R-2-C and R-2-D Interests for all

Loan Groups will not be reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i) the

aggregate outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all Loan Groups as of the

end of any Due Period over (ii) the Senior Certificates related to the 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 Loan Group,

and if the Loan Group's R-2-E Interest has already been reduced to zero, then

the excess principal from that Loan Group will be paid to the R-2-E Interests

of the other 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

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 Loan Group making the payment,

then the payment will be treated by REMIC 2 as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if

the 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 Loan Group making the

payment, then the payment will be treated by REMIC 2 as a reimbursement for

prior Realized Losses.

(1)    This REMIC 3 Interest has a principal balance that is initially equal to

      50% of its Corresponding Certificate Class issued by the Master REMIC.

      Principal payments, both scheduled and prepaid, Realized Losses,

      Subsequent Recoveries and interest accruing on the R-3-Accrual Interest

      will be allocated to this class to maintain its size relative to its

      Corresponding Certificate Class (that is, 50%) with any excess payments

      of principal, Realized Losses and Subsequent Recoveries being allocated

      to the R-3-Accrual Interest in such manner as to cause the principal

      balance of the R-3-Accrual Interest to have a principal balance equal to

      50% of the Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 2 principal balances plus (b) 50%

      of the Overcollateralized Amount for such Distribution Date..

 

(2)    The pass-through rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the

      related Accrual Period) for this REMIC 3 Interest is a per annum rate

      equal to the Loan Group 1 Net Rate Cap.

 

(3)    The pass-through rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the

      related Accrual Period) for this REMIC 3 Interest is a per annum rate

      equal to the Loan Group 2 Net Rate Cap.

 

(4)    The pass-through rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the

      related Accrual Period) for this REMIC 3 Interest is a per annum rate

      equal to the Adjusted Subordinate Net Rate Cap. For federal income tax

      purposes the Adjusted Subordinate Net Rate Cap will equal the

       Calculation Rate with respect to the R-2-C and R-2-D Interests.

 

(5)    The R-3-P Interest is entitled to all amounts collected with respect to

      the R-2-P Interest. It pays no interest.

 

(6)    The pass-through rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the

      related Accrual Period) for this REMIC 3 Interest is a per annum rate

      equal to the weighted average of the Loan Group 1 Net Rate Cap and the

      Loan Group 2 Net Rate Cap (the "Loan Group 1/2 Net Rate Cap").

 

(7)    The R-3-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 3. It

      has no principal balance and pays no principal or interest.

(8)    This REMIC 3 Interest pays no principal.

 

(9)    This REMIC 3 Interest is entitled to all amounts payable with respect to

      the R-2-X Interest.

 

      On each Distribution Date, the Interest Funds and the Principal

Distribution Amount payable with respect to the REMIC 2 Interests shall be

payable with respect to the REMIC 3 Interests in the following manner:

 

      (1) Interest. Interest is to be distributed with respect to each REMIC 3

Interest at the rate, or according to the formulas, described above.

 

      (2) Principal. Principal Distribution Amounts shall be allocated among

the REMIC 3 Interests in the same manner that such items are allocated among

their corresponding Certificate Classes.

(1)    The Certificates will accrue interest at the related Pass-Through Rates

      identified in this Agreement. For federal income tax purposes, the pass

      through rate in respect of (i) each of the Class 1-A will be subject to

      a cap equal to the Loan Group 1 Net Rate Cap, (ii) the Class 2-A

      Certificates will be subject to a cap equal to the Loan Group 2 Net Rate

      Cap, and (iii) the Class M 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 and any entitlement of the Class M

       Certificates to interest payments in excess of the Adjusted Subordinate

      Net Rate Cap, will be treated as paid by the Master REMIC to the Class C

      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 C Certificates have no Certificate Principal Balance.

 

 

                                       7

(3)    For each Interest Accrual Period the Class C Certificates are entitled

      to an amount (the "Class C Distributable Amount") equal to the sum of

      (a) the interest payable on the R-3-X Interests and (b) a specified

      portion of the interest on the REMIC 1 Group 1 and 2 Interests equal to

      the excess of the Loan Group 1/2 Net Rate Cap over the product of two

      and the weighted average interest rate of the REMIC 3 Regular Interests

      having an "A," "M" or "Accrual" designation in the column entitled

      "REMIC 3 Interests" with each such Class other than the Accrual

      Interest, subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate of the

      Corresponding Master REMIC Class and the Accrual Class subject to a cap

      of 0.00%. The Pass-Through Rate of the Class C Certificates shall be a

      rate sufficient to entitle it to all interest accrued on the REMIC 1

      Group 1 and Group 2 Interests less the interest accrued on the A or M

      interests issued by the Master REMIC . The Class C Distributable Amount

      for any Distribution Date is payable from current interest on the Group

      1 and Group 2 Mortgage Loans and any related OC Release Amount for that

      Distribution Date.

 

(4)    For each Distribution Date the Class P Certificates are entitled to all

      Prepayment Charges distributed with respect to the R-3-P Interests.

 

(5)    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).

Mortgaged Property is an REO Property; provided, however, that the net monthly

rental income (if any) from such REO Property deposited in the Certificate

Account for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.12 may be used to

offset such Advance for the Mortgage Loan related to such REO Property;

provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, no Advances shall be

required to be made in respect of any Liquidated Mortgage Loan.

all distributions of principal on such Distribution Date) exceeds the sum of

(x) the Stated Principal Balance of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans for such

Distribution Date and (y) the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account in

respect of Loan Group 1, if any.

2.01(d) hereof. The positive difference, if any, between the Subsequent

Transfer Date Transfer Amount and the Subsequent Transfer Date Purchase Amount

shall be re-invested by the Trustee in the Pre-Funding Account.

 

            The Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise

verify compliance with the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph,

except for its own receipt of documents specified above, and shall be entitled

to rely on the required Officer's Certificate.

 

            Within thirty days after each Subsequent Transfer Date, the

Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee a letter of a nationally recognized

firm of independent public accountants stating whether or not the Subsequent

Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Subsequent Transfer Date conform to the

characteristics described in Section 2.01(e)(vi) and (vii) hereof.

 

            (g) In connection with the transfer and assignment of each

(vi) below) for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the following documents

to each Mortgage Loan, clause (i) through (vi) below, together, the "Mortgage

File" for each such Mortgage Loan):

 

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or

             facsimile signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to 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 (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 Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS

            Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage, and in the case of

            each MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage, 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, with evidence of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of

            the Mortgage certified by the public recording office in which

            such Mortgage has been recorded;

 

                  (iii) in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS

            Mortgage Loan, a duly executed assignment of the Mortgage to

            "Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-2, CWABS, Inc., by 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 validly

            completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the

            assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the

            Mortgage to which such assignment relates);

 

                  (iv) the original recorded assignment or assignments of the

            Mortgage together with all interim recorded assignments of such

            Mortgage (noting the presence of a MIN in the case of each MERS

            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 or, in the event such original title policy has not 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

 

 

                                      51

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, 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 hereof. 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

 

 

                                      52

<PAGE>

 

 

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 respect to Mortgage Loans other than

MERS Mortgage Loans (i) any Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the

NIM Insurer gives written notice to the Trustee that recording is required to

protect the right, title and interest of the Trustee on behalf of the

Certificateholders in and to any Mortgage Loan, (ii) a court recharacterizes

any sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, or (iii) as a result of any

change in or amendment to the laws of the State or jurisdiction described in

the first sentence of this paragraph or any applicable political subdivision

thereof, or any change in official position regarding application or

interpretation of such laws, including a holding by a court of competent

jurisdiction, such recording is so required, the Co-Trustee shall complete the

assignment in the manner specified in clause (iii) of the second paragraph of

this Section 2.01(g) and CHL shall submit or cause to be submitted for

recording as specified above or, should CHL fail to perform such obligations,

the Trustee shall cause the Master Servicer, at the Master Servicer's expense,

to cause each such previously unrecorded assignment to be submitted for

recording as specified above. In the event a Mortgage File is released to the

Master Servicer as a result of the Master Servicer's having completed a

Request for Document Release, the Trustee shall complete the assignment of the

related Mortgage in the manner specified in clause (iii) of the second

paragraph of this Section 2.01(g).

 

            So long as the Co-Trustee or its agent maintains an office in 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 any of the

Mortgage Files as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located in such

State. In the event that a Seller fails to record an assignment of a Mortgage

Loan as herein provided within 90 days of notice of an event set forth in

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

Loans) or related Subsequent Transfer Date (in the case of Subsequent Mortgage

Loans) and the Cut-off Date, CHL shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the

Certificate Account the amount required to be deposited therein with respect

to such payment pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof.

 

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within

thirty days after the Closing Date (in the case of Initial Mortgage Loans) or

within twenty days after the related Subsequent Transfer Date (in the case of

Subsequent Mortgage Loans), CHL (on behalf

 

 

                                       53

<PAGE>

 

 

of each Seller) shall either (i) deliver to the Co-Trustee the Mortgage File

as required pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage

Loan or (ii) (A) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) substitute

the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan for a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which

repurchase or substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to

the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 hereof, provided that if CHL fails to

deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the period

provided in the prior sentence, the cure period provided for in Section 2.02

hereof or in Section 2.03 hereof 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 (or if such thirtieth day is

not a Business Day, the succeeding Business Day) after the Closing Date (in

the case of Initial Mortgage Loans) or within twenty days after the related

Subsequent Transfer Date (in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans), the

Trustee shall, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof, send

a Delay Delivery Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as

Exhibit G-3 (with any applicable exceptions noted thereon) for all Delay

Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered within thirty (30) days after such date. The

Trustee will promptly send a copy of such Delay Delivery Certification to each

Rating Agency.

 

            Section 2.02       Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

 

             (a) The Co-Trustee acknowledges receipt, subject to the

limitations contained in and any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification

in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-1 and in the list of exceptions

attached thereto, of the documents referred to in clauses (i) and (iii) of

Section 2.01(g) above with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans and all other

assets included in the Trust Fund and declares that it holds and will hold

such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the

Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other assets included in

the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and

future Certificateholders.

 

            The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to

the Depositor, the Master Servicer and CHL (on behalf of each Seller) an

Initial Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-1

to the effect that, as to each Initial Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage

Loan Schedule (other than any Initial Mortgage Loan paid in full or any

Initial Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as not

covered by such certification), the documents described in Section 2.01(g)(i)

hereof and, in the case of each Initial Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS

Mortgage Loan, the documents described in Section 2.01(g)(iii) hereof with

respect to such Initial Mortgage Loans as are in the Co-Trustee's possession

and based on its review and examination and only as to the foregoing

documents, such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such

Initial Mortgage Loan. The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver within 30

days after the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and CHL (on

behalf of each Seller) an Interim Certification substantially in the form

annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2 to the effect that, as to each Initial Mortgage

Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Initial Mortgage

Loan paid in full or any Initial Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such

certification as not covered by such certification) all documents required to

be delivered to the Co-Trustee pursuant to the Agreement with respect to such

Initial Mortgage Loans are in its possession (except those documents described

in Section 2.01(g)(vi) hereof) and

 

 

                                      54

<PAGE>

 

 

based on its review and examination and only as to the foregoing documents,

(i) such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Initial

Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the information set forth in items (i), (iv), (v),

(vi), (viii), (ix) and (xvii) of the definition of the "Mortgage Loan

Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth in the 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 Initial Mortgage

Loans substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-3, with any

applicable exceptions noted thereon. 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 estate records or that

they are other than what they purport to 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 Certification

with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans substantially in the form annexed

hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

 

            In connection with the Trustee's completion and delivery of such

Final Certification, the Co-Trustee, at the Trustee's direction, shall review

each Mortgage File with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans to determine

that such Mortgage File contains the following documents:

 

                  (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or

            facsimile signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to 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 (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

            in the form permitted by Section 2.01 hereof;

 

 

                                      55

<PAGE>

 

 

                  (iv) the original recorded assignment or assignments of the

            Mortgage together with all interim recorded assignments of such

             Mortgage (noting the presence of a MIN in the case of each MERS

            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 shall

promptly correct or cure such defect referred to above within 90 days from the

date it was so notified of such defect and, if CHL does not correct or cure

such defect within such period, CHL shall either (A) if the time to cure such

defect expires prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date,

substitute for the related Initial Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan,

which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the

conditions set forth in Section 2.03 hereof, or (B) purchase such Initial

Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund within 90 days from the date CHL was

notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Initial

Mortgage Loan; provided that any such substitution pursuant to (A) above or

repurchase pursuant to (B) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery

to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof and

any substitution pursuant to (A) above shall not be effected prior to the

additional delivery to the Co-Trustee of a Request for File Release. No

substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date

for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Initial Mortgage Loan shall be

deposited by CHL in the Certificate Account and, upon receipt of such deposit

and Request for File Release with respect thereto, the Co-Trustee shall

release the related Mortgage File to CHL and shall execute and deliver at

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

designee, the Trustee's interest in any Initial Mortgage Loan 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 in recordable

form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to CHL and shall cause such Mortgage

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

rules and regulations.

 

            The Co-Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each

Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set

forth herein. Each Seller shall promptly deliver to the Co-Trustee, upon the

execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such

 

 

                                      56

<PAGE>

 

 

other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File that come into

the possession of such Seller from time to time.

 

            It is understood and agreed that the obligation of CHL to

substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan that does not meet the

requirements of Section 2.02(a) above shall constitute the sole remedy

respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Depositor

and any Certificateholder against any Seller.

 

            It is understood and agreed that the obligation of CHL to

substitute for or to purchase, pursuant to Section 2.02(a) hereof, any Initial

Mortgage Loan whose Mortgage File contains any document or documents that does

not meet the requirements of clauses (i)-(iv) and (vi) above and which defect

is not corrected or cured by CHL within 90 days from the date it was notified

of such defect, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect

available to the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Depositor and any

Certificateholder against any Seller.

 

            (b) The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Subsequent

Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and CHL (on behalf of each

Seller) an Initial Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as

Exhibit G-4 to the effect that, as to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan listed in

the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Subsequent Mortgage Loan paid in

full or any Subsequent Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such

certification as not covered by such certification), the documents described

in Section 2.01(g)(i) hereof and, in the case of each Subsequent Mortgage Loan

that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the documents described in Section

2.01(g)(iii) hereof, with respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan are in its

possession, and based on its review and examination and only as to the

foregoing documents, such documents appear regular on their face and relate to

such Subsequent Mortgage Loan.

 

            The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver within 30 days after the

Subsequent Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and CHL (on

behalf of each Seller) an Interim Certification substantially in the form

annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2 to the effect that, as to each Subsequent

Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Subsequent

Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Subsequent Mortgage Loan specifically

identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), all

documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement with

respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan are in its possession (except those

described in Section 2.01(g)(vi) hereof) and based on its review and

examination and only as to the foregoing documents, (i) such documents appear

regular on their face and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan, and (ii)

the information set forth in items (i), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (ix) and

(xvii) of the definition of the "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects

information set forth in the Mortgage File. On or before the thirtieth (30th)

day after the Subsequent Transfer 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 Subsequent Mortgage Loans

substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-3, with any applicable

exceptions noted thereon, together with a Subsequent Certification

substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-4. The Trustee 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,

 

 

                                      57

<PAGE>

 

 

enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have

actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than

what they purport to be on their face.

 

            Not later than 180 days after the Subsequent Transfer Date, the

Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, CHL (on behalf of

each Seller) and to any Certificateholder that so requests a Final

Certification with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans substantially in

the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted

thereon.

 

            In connection with the Trustee's completion and delivery of such

Final Certification, the Co-Trustee shall review each Mortgage File with

respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans to determine that such Mortgage File

contains the following documents:

&
