Section 1.02. Rules of Construction.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or unless
the context clearly requires otherwise:
(a) Defined terms include, as appropriate, all genders and the plural
as well as the singular.
(b) References to designated articles, sections, subsections,
exhibits, and other subdivisions of this Agreement, such as "Section 6.12
(a)," refer to the designated article, section, subsection, exhibit, or other
subdivision of this Agreement as a whole and to all subdivisions of the
designated article, section, subsection, exhibit, or other subdivision. The
exhibits and other attachments to this Agreement are a part of this Agreement.
The words "herein," "hereof," "hereto," "hereunder," and other words of
similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
article, section, exhibit, or other subdivision of this Agreement.
(c) The recitals located before Article I are not a part of the
agreement of the parties. Whether or not they are correct, the recitals shall
not affect the agreement of the parties or the interpretation of this
Agreement, and they shall not be interpreted as representations, warranties,
covenants, or any other matter of substance. The headings of the various
Articles and Sections in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not define or limit any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(d) Any term that relates to a document or a statute, rule, or
regulation includes any amendments, modifications, supplements, or any other
changes that may have occurred since the document, statute, rule, or
regulation came into being, including changes that occur after the date of
this Agreement. References to law are not limited to statutes. References to
statutes include any rules or regulations promulgated under them by a
governmental authority charged with the administration of the statute. Any
reference to any person includes references to its successors and assigns.
3
(e) Any party may execute any of the requirements under this
Agreement either directly or through others, and the right to cause something
to be done rather than doing it directly shall be implicit in every
requirement under this Agreement. Unless a provision is restricted as to time
or limited as to frequency, all provisions under this Agreement are implicitly
available from time to time.
(f) The term "including" and all its variations mean "including but
not limited to." Except when used in conjunction with the word "either," the
word "or" is always used inclusively (for example, the phrase "A or B" means
"A or B or both," not "either A or B but not both").
(g) A reference to "a [thing]" or "any [of a thing]" does not imply
the existence or occurrence of the thing referred to even though not followed
by "if any," and "any [of a thing]" is any and all of it. A reference to the
plural of anything as to which there could be either one or more than one does
not imply the existence of more than one (for instance, the phrase "the
obligors on a note" means "the obligor or obligors on a note"). "Until
[something occurs]" does not imply that it must occur, and will not be
modified by the word "unless." The word "due" and the word "payable" are each
used in the sense that the stated time for payment has passed. The word
"accrued" is used in its accounting sense, i.e., an amount paid is no longer
accrued. In the calculation of amounts of things, differences and sums may
generally result in negative numbers, but when the calculation of the excess
of one thing over another results in zero or a negative number, the
calculation is disregarded and an "excess" does not exist. Portions of things
may be expressed as fractions or percentages interchangeably. The word "shall"
is used in its imperative sense, as for instance meaning a party agrees to
something or something must occur or exist.
(h) All accounting terms used in an accounting context and not
otherwise defined, and accounting terms partly defined in this Agreement, to
the extent not completely defined, shall be construed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. To the extent
that the definitions of accounting terms in this Agreement are inconsistent
with their meanings under generally accepted accounting principles, the
definitions in this Agreement shall control. Capitalized terms used in this
Agreement without definition that are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code
of the relevant jurisdiction are used in this Agreement as defined in that
Uniform Commercial Code.
(i) In the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a
later specified date or an open-ended period, the words "from" and "beginning"
mean "from and including," the word "after" means "from but excluding," the
words "to" and "until" mean "to but excluding," and the word "through" means
"to and including." Likewise, in setting deadlines or other periods, "by"
means "on or before." The words "preceding," "following," and words of similar
import, mean immediately preceding or following. References to a month or a
year refer to calendar months and calendar years.
4
(j) Any reference to the enforceability of any agreement against a party
means that it is enforceable against the party in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, and other
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
rights and to general equity principles.
(k) Generally only the registered holder of a Security is recognized,
such as in Section 3.07. Persons Considered Owner and payment provisions.
However, for the purposes of the transfer restrictions and related provisions,
such as agreements, representations, and warranties by holders of Securities,
references to Securityholders, holders, and the like refer equally to
beneficial owners who have an interest in a Security but are not reflected in
the applicable register as the owner and references to transfers of Securities
include transfers of interests in a Security.

ARTICLE III
THE TRANSFEROR CERTIFICATES
Section 3.01. Initial Beneficiary of Trust.
Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor
pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Transferor
Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.
Section 3.02. Issuance of the Transferor Certificates.
(a) On the Closing Date, the Trust will issue one class of
Certificates designated as the "Revolving Home Equity Loan Asset Backed
Transferor Certificates, Series 2005-F" (the "Transferor Certificates")
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and deliver them to the order of
the Depositor when authenticated.
(b) The Transferor Certificates will be issued in definitive, fully
registered form and will be substantially in the form of Exhibit B. The
Transferor Certificates will, on the Closing Date, be executed, authenticated,
and delivered by the Owner Trustee to the order of the Depositor concurrently
with the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust.
(c) The Transferor Certificates will be executed by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Owner Trustee by an authorized officer.
Transferor Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were, at the time their signatures were affixed, authorized to
sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that
any of them have ceased to be so authorized before the authentication and
delivery of the Transferor Certificates or did not hold such offices at the
date of the Transferor Certificate. The Transferor Certificates will not be
book-entry certificates.
8
Section 3.03. Authentication of Transferor Certificates.
No Transferor Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless the Transferor Certificate is
manually authenticated by the Owner Trustee substantially in the form provided
in this Agreement, and the authentication on any Transferor Certificate will
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Transferor Certificate
has been duly authenticated and delivered. All Transferor Certificates shall
be dated the date of their authentication.
The Trust initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to act as the
authentication agent of the Owner Trustee. All references to the
authentication of the Transferor Certificates shall be considered to include
the authentication agent.
Section 3.04. Registration of and Transfer and Exchange of Transferor
Certificates.
The Trust shall keep a Transferor certificate register (the
"Certificate Register") in which, subject to any reasonable regulations it may
prescribe, the Trust shall provide for the registration of the Transferor
Certificates and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, of transfers and
exchanges of the Transferor Certificates. The certificate registrar (the
"Certificate Registrar") is initially the Indenture Trustee.
Whenever any Transferor Certificate is surrendered for registration
of transfer at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained
for that purpose and the conditions of this Section have been satisfied, the
Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute, authenticate, and
deliver in the name of the designated transferees, one or more new Transferor
Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the
date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.
At the option of its Holder, each Transferor Certificate may be
exchanged for other Transferor Certificates, in authorized denominations of a
like aggregate amount, by surrendering the Transferor Certificate to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for
that purpose.
Every Transferor Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a fully completed
representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, delivered at
the expense of the Certificateholder, and duly executed by the
Certificateholder or an attorney-in-fact for the Certificateholder duly
authorized in writing. Each Holder of a Transferor Certificate must satisfy
the transfer restrictions in the representation letter. Each Transferor
Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with
its customary practice.
No service charge shall be made for the registration of transfer or
exchange of any Transferor Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may require payment
9
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Transferor
Certificate.
The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner
Trustee need not transfer or exchange, and the Certificate Registrar need not
register transfers or exchanges, of Transferor Certificates during the fifteen
days preceding the due date for any payment on the Transferor Certificates.
The Certificate Registrar shall at all times maintain an office or
agency where Transferor Certificates may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange.
Section 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, or Stolen Transferor
Certificate.
If any mutilated Transferor Certificate is surrendered to the Owner
Trustee, then the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of the mutilated Transferor Certificate, a new
Transferor Certificate of like tenor and denomination.
If the Owner Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss, or theft of a Transferor Certificate and the Owner Trustee
receives the security or indemnity it requires to hold it harmless, then in
the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Certificate Registrar, or the Owner
Trustee that the Transferor Certificate has been acquired by a Protected
Purchaser, and if the requirements of Section 8-406 of the UCC are met and
subject to Section 8-405 of the UCC, the Owner Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the destroyed, lost,
or stolen Transferor Certificate, a new Transferor Certificate of like tenor
and denomination. Any duplicate Transferor Certificate issued pursuant to this
Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Transferor
Certificate is found.
The Owner Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on the issuance
of the new Transferor Certificate under this Section.
Section 3.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trust shall maintain an office or agency where notices and
demands on the Trust regarding the Transferor Certificates and the Transaction
Documents may be served. The Trust initially designates Indenture Trustee as
its office for those purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written
notice to the Certificateholders of the location, and any change in the
location, of this office or agency. If the Trust ever fails to maintain this
office or agency, then presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands may be
made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner Trustee.
Section 3.07. Persons Considered Certificateholders.
Before due presentation of a Transferor Certificate for registration
of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, and any paying
agent for the Transferor Certificates shall treat the person in whose name any
Transferor Certificate is registered in the Certificate
10
Register as the owner of the Transferor Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, and any
paying agent for the Transferor Certificates shall be bound by any notice to
the contrary.
Section 3.08. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
The Certificate Registrar shall furnish to the Depositor or the Owner
Trustee a list of the names and addresses of the Transferor Certificateholders
as of the most recent Record Date within fifteen days after receipt by the
Certificate Registrar of a written request for it from the Depositor or the
Owner Trustee.
Section 3.09. Appointment of Certificate Paying Agent.
The paying agent for the Transferor Certificates shall make
distributions to the holder of each Transferor Certificate pursuant to this
Agreement and shall report the amounts of those distributions to the Owner
Trustee. The Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, may remove the Certificate
Paying Agent if the Administrator determines in its sole discretion that the
Certificate Paying Agent has failed to perform its obligations under this
Agreement in any material respect. The Certificate Paying Agent initially
shall be the Indenture Trustee. The Certificate Paying Agent shall be
permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent on thirty days' written notice
to the Owner Trustee. If the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Certificate
Paying Agent, the Administrator shall appoint a bank or trust company as
successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent. The Administrator shall cause
the successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying
Agent appointed by the Administrator to execute and deliver to the Trust an
instrument in which the successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional
Certificate Paying Agent agrees with the Trust that, as Certificate Paying
Agent, the successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying
Agent will hold any sums held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled to them until those
sums are paid to the appropriate Certificateholders. The Certificate Paying
Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Trust, and upon removal of a
Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all
funds in its possession to the Trust. Any reference in this Agreement to the
Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-Certificate Paying Agent unless
the context requires otherwise.
Section 3.10. Restrictions on Transfer; Legends.
(a) The Transferor Certificates shall be assigned, transferred,

(collectively, for purposes of this Section and any other Section referring to
the Transferor Certificates, "transferred" or a "transfer") only in accordance
with this Section.
(b) No transfer of a Transferor Certificate will be made unless the
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with the Act and those laws. Except for the initial issuance of a
Transferor Certificate to the Transferor (and any subsequent transfer by that
Transferor to one of its Affiliates), the Owner Trustee will require either:
11
(1) the transferee to execute an investment letter
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee certifying to the Owner Trustee the facts surrounding the
transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the
Owner Trustee or
(2) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor that
the transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act,
describing the applicable exemption and its basis, or is being made
pursuant to the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Owner Trustee or the Depositor.
The holder of a Transferor Certificate desiring to effect a transfer
shall indemnify the Trust against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with any federal and
state laws.
(c) No transfer of an interest in a Transferor Certificate will be
made unless the Owner Trustee has received either:
(1) a representation letter from the proposed Transferor,
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee, to the effect that the proposed Transferor is not an
employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan
subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of,
or investing plan assets of, any such plan, which representation
letter shall not be an expense of the Owner Trustee; or
(2) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Owner Trustee to
the effect that the purchase or holding of the Transferor Certificate
will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Owner Trustee to
any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Owner Trustee
or the Depositor;
except that, in the case of the initial issuance of a Transferor Certificate
to the Transferor (and any subsequent transfer by the Transferor to one of its
Affiliates), the representation in clause (i) shall be deemed to have been
made.
(d) No transfer of an interest in a Transferor Certificate after its
initial issuance will be made unless:
(1) the proposed Transferor is organized and existing under
the laws of the United States or any State and expressly assumes the
performance of every obligation of the existing Transferor under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents pursuant to an
agreement acceptable to the Owner Trustee,
(2) the existing Transferor delivers to the Owner Trustee an
Officer's Certificate stating that the transfer complies with this
Section 3.10 and that all the
12
conditions in this Section 3.10 have been complied with, and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that all the conditions in this Section
3.10 have been complied with;
(3) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to
the transfer;
(4) the proposed Transferor delivers to the Owner Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
(A) the transfer will not adversely affect the
characterization of the Notes after the transfer as debt for
federal and applicable State income tax purposes,
(B) the transfer will not result in the Trust being
subject to tax at the entity level for federal or applicable
State tax purposes,
(C) the transfer will not have any material adverse
effect on the federal or applicable State income taxation of
any Holder of the Notes or any person who is the beneficial
owner of a book-entry Note, and
(D) the transfer will not result in the Trust being
characterized as a taxable mortgage pool as defined in
Section 7701(i) of the Code; and
(5) all filings and other actions necessary to continue the
perfection of the interest of the Trust in the Mortgage Loans and the
other Assets has been taken or made.
The requirement that the proposed Transferor be organized and
existing under the laws of the United States or any State shall not apply if
the Rating Agency Condition (without regard to the Policy, as defined in the
Indenture) has been satisfied taking that into account.
(e) Each Transferor Certificate shall bear a legend substantially in
the following form:
This certificate has not been and will not be registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state and may not be
resold or transferred unless it is registered pursuant to the Securities Act
of 1933 and the securities laws of any state or is sold or transferred in
transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933 and under applicable state law and is transferred in accordance with
Section 3.10 of the Trust Agreement related to CWHEQ Revolving Home Equity
Loan Trust, Series 2005-F. Neither this certificate nor any interest in it may
be transferred unless the transferee delivers to the trustee either a
representation letter to the effect that the transferee is not an employee
benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, as amended, or a
person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such plan; or an opinion
of counsel in accordance with Section 3.10(c) of the Trust Agreement related
to CWHEQ Revolving Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2005-F. Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of this
certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to
the Code without the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the trustee as
described above shall be void.
13
(f) No Transferor Certificate shall be transferred except to (1) the
Master Servicer, the Transferor, the Depositor, or the Trust (or an affiliate
of any of them) or (2) a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule
144A under the Securities Act). Each person (other than the Master Servicer,
the Transferor, or the Trust (or an affiliate of them)) to whom a Transferor
Certificate is proposed to be transferred will be required to certify to the
Transferor, the Trust, and the Certificate Registrar that it is a qualified
institutional buyer.
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Depositor, without the consent of any Noteholder or Certificateholder, may
amend this Section 3.10 with the consent of the Credit Enhancer if it receives
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the amendment will not adversely
affect in any material respect
(1) the tax characterization of the outstanding Notes and
Transferor Certificates for federal or applicable state income tax
purposes,
(2) the characterization of the Trust as taxable mortgage
pool, an entity that is not a publicly traded partnership or other
business entity taxable as a corporation for United States federal
income tax purposes and will not result in a United States federal
withholding tax being imposed on the Trust, or
(3) the Trust's exemptions from any registration requirement
of the federal securities laws.

(6) appoint a successor Certificate Paying Agent,
Certificate Registrar, Administrator, or Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture, or consent to the assignment by the Transfer Agent and

under the Indenture.
If the Trust has more than one holder of its Transferor Certificates,
then the Holders may only give instructions that are agreed to by the majority
of the Holders (based on the holders' percentage ownership of the entire

Certificateholders the Owner Trustee may, on behalf of the Trust:
(1) initiate a claim or lawsuit by the Trust for collection
of Assets;
(2) file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust whenever
the amendment is required by the Statutory Trust Statute; or
(3) amend the Administration Agreement to cure any ambiguity
or mistake or effect any other amendment that would not materially
adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01 do not create a duty on
the part of the Owner Trustee to take any of the actions described above.
Section 4.02. Action by Certificateholders Regarding Certain Matters.
Except when directed by the Certificateholders and with the prior
written consent of the Credit Enhancer in the case of (a), (b), or (c) below,

Owner Trustee shall not be obligated to follow that direction if given.
15

any funds made available to it under Section 8.03 of the Indenture.
Distributions to each Transferor Certificateholder shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the Transferor Certificateholder's
account at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities. If
appropriate notice of wiring instructions is not given by any Transferor
Certificateholder, then distribution to that Transferor Certificateholder

allocations of income) to the Certificateholders, the withholding tax shall
reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders in
accordance with this Section. The Certificate Paying Agent is authorized and
directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the
Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally
owed by the Trust. This authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Paying
Agent from contesting any tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding
payment of the tax pending the outcome of the proceedings if permitted by law.
The amount of any withholding tax imposed on any distributions shall be
treated as cash distributed to the Certificateholder at the time it is
withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If

Certificateholder, the Certificate Paying Agent may in its sole discretion
withhold an appropriate amount to cover that possibility.

Distributions required to be made to a Certificateholder on any
Payment Date shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account of the Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having

Trustee in writing delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and to the
successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee has been so appointed
and assumed trusteeship within thirty days after the notice of resignation,
the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.
The Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee if at any time the
Owner Trustee is legally unable to act, or an Insolvency Event occurs with
respect to the Owner Trustee. If the Administrator removes the Owner Trustee
under the authority of the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall
promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee in writing delivered to the
24
outgoing Owner Trustee and to the successor Owner Trustee, and shall pay all
fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee shall not become effective until acceptance of the
appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.02 and
payment of all fees and expenses of the outgoing Owner Trustee. The
Administrator shall provide notice of any resignation or removal of the Owner
Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, and the Credit
Enhancer.
Section 10.02. Successor Owner Trustee.
Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.01 shall
execute and deliver to the Administrator, the Depositor, and to the
predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting appointment as trustee under
this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor
Owner Trustee shall become effective. The successor Owner Trustee shall become
fully vested with all the rights and obligations of its predecessor under this
Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee without
any further act, deed, or conveyance. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall
promptly deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents, statements, and
monies held by it under this Agreement. The Administrator and the predecessor
Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver any instruments and do anything else
for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee
all rights and obligations under this Agreement.
When a successor Owner Trustee accepts its appointment pursuant to
this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the change in trustee to
the Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders,
the Credit Enhancer, and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator fails to
mail that notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall mail that notice at
the expense of the Administrator.
The successor Owner Trustee shall file an amendment to the
Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
identifying the name and principal place of business in the State of Delaware
of the successor Owner Trustee.
Section 10.03. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee.
Any person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any person resulting from any merger,
conversion, or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or any
person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business
of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee under this
Agreement without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act
on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement, anything to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Owner Trustee shall mail notice of the merger or
consolidation or other action to each Rating Agency and the Credit Enhancer.
25
Section 10.04. 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 Assets may at any time be located, the Administrator and the
Owner Trustee acting jointly shall execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint persons approved by the Administrator, and Owner Trustee to act as
co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee, of all or
any part of the Assets, and to vest in that person, in that capacity, such
title to the Assets or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions
of this Section, such rights and obligations as the Administrator and the
Owner Trustee consider appropriate. If the Administrator has not joined in the
appointment within fifteen days after the receipt by it of a request so to do,
the Owner Trustee alone may make the appointment. No notice of the appointment
of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section
10.02.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall be appointed and act
subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a) All rights and obligations conferred or imposed on the Owner
Trustee shall be conferred on and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee
and the separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (the separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee
joining in the act), except to the extent that under applicable law the Owner
Trustee is incompetent or unqualified to perform the acts, in which case those
rights and obligations (including the holding of title to the Assets or any
portion of them in that jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly
by the separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the
Owner Trustee;
(b) No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable for
any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and
(c) The Administrator and the Owner 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 Owner Trustee
shall be considered 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 the conditions of
this Article. 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 Owner Trustee or
separately, as may be provided in the instrument of appointment. Each
instrument of appointment shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy of
it given to the Administrator.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner
Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act with respect to 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
26
estates, properties, rights, and obligations shall vest in and be exercised by
the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of
a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

Re: CWHEQ Revolving Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2005-F
Revolving Home Equity Loan Asset Backed Securities,
Series 2005-F Transferor Certificates
-------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the sale by
_____________ (the "Transferor") to ______________________ (the "Transferee")
of the Certificates representing a ____% Percentage Interest (the "Transferred
Certificates"). All capitalized terms used in this certificate without
definition have the meanings given to them in the Trust Agreement, dated as of
September 23, 2005, between CWHEQ, Inc., as depositor, and Wilmington Trust
Company, as owner trustee. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents, and
warrants to you that:
1. The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Certificates
with the full right to transfer them free from any claims and encumbrances
whatsoever.
2. Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a)
offered, transferred, pledged, sold, or otherwise disposed of any Certificate,
any interest in any Certificate, or any other similar security to any person
in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge, or
other disposition of any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate, or any
other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached
or negotiated with respect to any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate
or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any
general solicitation by general advertising or in any other manner, or (e)
taken any other action that (in the case of any
C-1
of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) of this paragraph) would
constitute a distribution of any Certificate under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), or would render the disposition of any
Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of any
Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
3. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor
in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a "qualified
institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") under
the Securities Act (a "Qualified Institutional Buyer") purchasing for its own
account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer. In determining
whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and
any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied on
the following to establish the Transferee's ownership and discretionary
investments of securities (check one or more):
o The Transferee's most recent publicly available financial
statements, which statements present the information as of a
date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the
Transferred Certificate in the case of a U.S. purchaser and
within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign
purchaser; or
o The most recent publicly available information appearing in
documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or another United States federal, state,
or local governmental agency or self-regulatory
organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or
self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a
date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the
Transferred Certificate in the case of a U.S. purchaser and
within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign
purchaser; or
o The most recent publicly available information appearing in
a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a
date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the
Transferred Certificate in the case of a U.S. purchaser and
within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign
purchaser; or
o A certification by the chief financial officer, a person
fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive
officer of the Transferee, specifying the amount of
securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by
the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close
of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year, or, in the case
of a Transferee that is a member of a "family of investment
companies," as that term is defined in Rule 144A, a
certification by an executive officer of the investment
adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the
"family of investment companies" as of a specific date on or
since the close of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year.
4. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor
understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and
invested on a discretionary
C-2
basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a
Qualified Institutional Buyer:
o the following instruments and interests shall be excluded: securities of
issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee; securities that are part
of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the
Transferee is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of the
Transferee's "family of investment companies," if the Transferee is a
registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of
deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but
subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate, and
commodity swaps;
o the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such
securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in
its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no
current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been
published, in which case the securities may be valued at market;
o securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with
the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the
entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity
itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the
consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.
5. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken
reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is
relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities
Act provided by Rule 144A.
6. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or
caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the
Transferred Certificates and payments on them, (b) the nature and performance
of the Mortgage Loans, and (c) the Indenture, the Agreement, and the Trust
Estate, that the Transferee has requested.
Very truly yours,

_________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________The term
"securities" does not include (1) securities of issuers that are
affiliated with the Transferee, (2) securities that are part of an unsold

paragraph.
4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned or

be in reliance on Rule 144A.
[_] [_] Will the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred Owner
Yes No Trust Certificates only for the Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no," then in each case where
the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, the
account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified

institutional buyer" status of the third party has been established by
the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods
contemplated by Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions
herein. Until that notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the

Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties any updated
annual financial statements that become available on or before the date

[_] [_] Will the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred
