• Review and Procedure Limitations The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation (i) to determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred, (ii) to determine whether the required percentage of Noteholders has voted to direct a Review, (iii) to determine which Receivables are subject to a Review, (iv) to obtain or confirm the validity of the Review Materials, (v) to obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials (except to the extent set forth in Section 3.04), or (vi) to take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the Basic Documents to enforce any remedies for breaches of any Eligible Representations. The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests provided in Exhibit A and will have no obligation to perform additional testing procedures on any ARR Receivables or to consider any additional information provided by any party. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to provide reporting or information in addition to that described in Section 3.07. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may review and report on additional information that it determines in good faith to be material to its performance under this ARR Agreement and may re-perform a Review with respect to an ARR Receivable as contemplated by Section 3.09. The Issuing Entity expressly agrees that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not advising the Issuing Entity or any Noteholder or any investor or future investor concerning the suitability of the Notes or any investment strategy. The Issuing Entity expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not an expert in accounting, tax, regulatory, or legal matters, and that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not providing legal advice as to any matter.

• Notice and Procedures If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

• Election and Proration Procedures (a) An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing Seller Stock shall pass only upon delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent) in such form as Company and Seller shall mutually agree (“Election Form”) shall be mailed no less than 35 days prior to the anticipated Effective Time or on such other date as Seller and Company shall mutually agree (“Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of Seller Stock as of five Business Days prior to the Mailing Date (“Election Form Record Date”). Company shall make available one or more Election Forms as may be reasonably requested by all persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of Seller Stock after the Election Form Record Date and prior to the Election Deadline (as defined below), and Seller shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its obligations as specified herein. Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to elect (an “Election”) to receive either (i) Company Stock (a “Stock Election”) with respect to all of such holder’s Seller Stock, (ii) cash (a “Cash Election”) with respect to all of such holder’s Seller Stock, or (iii) a specified number of shares of Seller Stock to receive Company Stock (a “Combination Stock Election”) and a specified number of shares of Seller Stock to receive cash (a “Combination Cash Election”), subject to the provisions contained in this Agreement. Any Seller Stock (other than Seller Dissenting Shares) with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) shall not have submitted to the Exchange Agent, an effective, properly completed Election Form received prior to the Election Deadline shall be deemed to be “Undesignated Shares” hereunder.

• Rules and Procedures Such arbitration shall be administered by JAMS/Endispute, Inc., a Delaware corporation and national dispute resolution company (“JAMS”), pursuant to (i) the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, if the amount in controversy is $250,000 or less, or (ii) the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000 (each, as applicable, the “Rules”). The making, validity, construction, and interpretation of this Section 11.9, and all procedural aspects of the arbitration conducted pursuant hereto, shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). For purposes of this Section 11.9, “amount in controversy” means the stated amount of the claim, not including interest or attorneys’ fees, plus the stated amount of any counterclaim, not including interest or attorneys’ fees. If the claim or counterclaim seeks a form of relief other than damages, such as injunctive or declaratory relief, it shall be treated as if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, unless all parties to the Dispute otherwise agree.

• Notice and Procedure Promptly after the Indemnified Party receives any claim or notice of the commencement of any action, administrative or legal proceeding, or investigation as to which the indemnity provided for in Sections 23.1 through 23.3 may apply, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such fact; provided, however, that the rights of the Indemnified Party shall not be forfeited by the failure to give the Indemnifying Party notice to the extent that said failure does not have a material and adverse effect on the defense of the matter. The Indemnifying Party shall assume on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and conduct with due diligence and in good faith, the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such action or investigation unless approved by the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented in any such action or investigation by advisory counsel of its own selection and at its own expense, and (b) if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that (i) there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from, or additional to, or inconsistent with, those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then, in either case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its own behalf and the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for the fees and expenses of such separate counsel. If any claim, action, proceeding or investigation arises as to which the indemnity provided for in Section 23.1, 23.2 or 23.3 applies and the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim, action, proceeding or investigation, then the Indemnified Party may, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, contest or settle such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall remain obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any and all losses, damages, and liability (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) associated therewith. The payment of the indemnity pursuant to this Section 23.5 shall not be predicated on the Indemnified Party having made payment on any suit, action, loss, damage, claim or liability.

• Termination Notice and Procedure Any Covered Termination by the Company or the Executive (other than a termination of the Executive’s employment that is a Covered Termination by virtue of Section 2(b)) shall be communicated by a written notice of termination (“Notice of Termination”) to the Executive, if such Notice is given by the Company, and to the Company, if such Notice is given by the Executive, all in accordance with the following procedures and those set forth in Section 24:

• Defined Terms and Rules of Construction Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Indenture, dated as of [______________], 20[__] (the "Indenture"), between CWHEQ Revolving Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 200_-_ and the Indenture Trustee, and if not defined there, in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition, Section 1.04 (Rules of Construction) of the Indenture is incorporated by reference with appropriate substitution of this Agreement for references in that Section to the Indenture so that the language of that Section will read appropriately as applying to this Agreement.

All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein.

The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by legal counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
