Also issued are the Class X-IO Certificates and the Class R Certificates (collectively, the "Non-Offered Certificates"). The Class A Certificates, the Subordinate Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates are collectively referred to as the "Certificates."

[Lead Underwriter] is acting as representative of the Underwriters and in such capacity is hereinafter referred to as the "Representative."

          The Certificates will be issued under a pooling and servicing agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), to be dated as of ___________ __, 200_among the Depositor, Centex Home Equity Company, LLC ("CHEC"), as the servicer and a seller (in such capacity, the "Servicer" or a "Seller," as the case may be), CHEC Conduit Funding, LLC, as a seller ("CHEC Conduit"), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Street Funding II, LLC, as a seller ("HSF II," and together with CHEC Conduit and CHEC, the "Sellers") and Bank One, National Association, as the trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee").

          The Certificates will evidence fractional undivided interests in the trust (the "Trust") formed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The assets of the Trust will initially include, among other things, two pools of home equity loans, one comprised of first and second lien, closed-end fixed-rate home equity loans and one comprised of first lien closed-end adjustable-rate home equity loans, having a Cut-Off Date as of the opening of business on ___________ __, 200_ (the "Home Equity Loans"), and such amounts as may be held by the Trustee in any accounts held by the Trustee for the Trust. The Home Equity Loans are secured primarily by first and second deeds of trust or mortgages on one- to four-family residential properties. A form of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (as defined below). The Certificates are more fully described in the Registration Statement.

          Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each Seller will transfer to the Depositor and the Depositor will transfer to the Trust all of its right, title and interest in and to the unpaid principal balances of the Home Equity Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and interest due on and after the Cut-Off Date and the collateral securing each Home Equity Loan.

          (ix) a letter from Standard & Poor's that it has assigned a rating of "AAA" to the Class A Certificates, "AA" to the Class M-1 Certificates, "A" to the Class M-2 Certificates and "BBB" to the Class B Certificates;

          (xi) an opinion of counsel for the Trustee dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Underwriters, their counsel, Fitch, Standard & Poor's and Moody's; and

          (xii) an officer's certificate of an officer of the Trustee, dated as of the Closing Date, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters.

          (f) All proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all documents incident hereto shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and its counsel.

          (g) CHEC, CHEC Conduit, HSF II and the Depositor shall have furnished the Representative with such other certificates of its officers or others and such other documents or opinions as the Representative or its counsel may reasonably request.

          (h) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement none of the following shall have occurred: (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or minimum prices shall have been established on either of such exchanges or such market by the Commission, by such exchange or by any other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or New York state authorities; (iii) the United States shall have become engaged in material hostilities, there shall have been an escalation of such hostilities involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration of war by the United States; or (iv) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets of the United States shall be such), and in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (i) through (iv), such event makes it, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, impractical to market the Offered Certificates.

          If any condition specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriters by notice to the Depositor at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Sections 7 and 8.

           SECTION 7. Payment of Expenses. The Depositor agrees to pay:

          (a) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Certificates and any taxes payable in connection therewith; (b) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement and any amendments and exhibits thereto; (c) except as otherwise provided in Section 5(a)(iii), the costs of producing and distributing the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto and any post-effective amendments thereof (including, in each case, exhibits), any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein, all as provided in this Agreement; (d) the costs of reproducing and distributing this Agreement; (e) the fees and expenses of Stroock & Stroock & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP in qualifying the Certificates under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions as provided in Section 5(a)(vi) hereof and of preparing, printing and distributing a Blue Sky Memorandum and a Legal Investment Survey; (f) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Offered Certificates; (g) the cost of the accountant's comfort letter relating to the Prospectus Supplement; and (h) all other costs and expenses incidental to the performance of the obligations of the Depositor, CHEC, CHEC Conduit and HSF II (including costs and expenses of counsel to the Depositor, CHEC, CHEC Conduit and HSF II); provided that, except as provided in the last paragraph of this Section 7, the Underwriters shall pay their own costs and expenses, including the costs and expenses of their counsel, any transfer taxes on the Offered Certificates which they may sell and the expenses of advertising any offering of the Offered Certificates made by the Underwriters, and the Underwriters shall pay the cost of the accountants' comfort letters referred to in Section 5(b)(v).

          If this Agreement is terminated because of a breach by the Depositor of any covenant or agreement hereunder including in accordance with Section 6 or the failure of any closing conditions set forth in Section 6 (other than the closing condition set forth in Section 6(h)) to be met, the Depositor shall cause the Underwriters to be reimbursed for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the proposed offering and sale of the Offered Certificates, including fees and disbursements of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Underwriters.

           SECTION 8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Depositor indemnifies and holds harmless each Underwriter, each Underwriter's respective officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, as follows:

          (i) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, expense, damage or liability related to purchases and sales of the Offered Certificates) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading; and will reimburse each Underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Depositor will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, expense, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in any of such documents (x) in reliance upon and in conformity with any Underwriters' Information or (y) in any Collateral Term Sheet, Structural Term Sheet, Series Term Sheet or Computational Materials, except in the case of this clause (y) to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or alleged omission therein results (or is alleged to have resulted) from an error or material omission in the information concerning the characteristics of the Home Equity Loans furnished by CHEC, CHEC Conduit or HSF II, as applicable, to the Underwriters for use in the preparation of any Collateral Term Sheet, Structural Term Sheet, Series Term Sheet and/or Computational Materials (any such information, the "Pool Information"), which error was not superseded or corrected by the delivery to the Underwriters of corrected written or electronic information, or for which the Depositor did not provide timely written notice of such error to the Underwriters (any such uncorrected Pool Information, a "Pool Error");

          (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever, in each case based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission (and subject to the proviso contained in clause (i) above), if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Depositor; and

          (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any such Underwriter), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing to defend or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, in each case based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission (and subject to the proviso contained in clause (i) above), to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or clause (ii) above.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Depositor may otherwise have.

          (b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Depositor, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in (i) Derived Information provided by such Underwriter (except to the extent resulting from a Pool Error) and (ii) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, but with respect to clause (b)(ii) above, only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Underwriters' Information; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action described therein, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party of the claim or commencement of the action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Agreement. In case any such claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish to do so, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action and the appointment of counsel as provided under this Section 8, such indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability and fault on any claims that are the subject matter of such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and disbursements of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any one time for all indemnified parties; provided, however, that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from, adverse to or additional to those available to any other indemnified party, such indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel (at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties) to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such indemnified party or parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 8, shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any claim or action.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b)(ii) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Depositor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(b)(i) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified party under Section 8(b)(i), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section (b)(i) in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Certificates (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Depositor or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total initial public offering price of the Offered Certificates underwritten by it and sold to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

          (e) For purposes hereof, as to each Underwriter, the term "Derived Information" means such information, if any, in the Series Term Sheets, Collateral Term Sheets, Structural Term Sheets and/or Computational Materials that (i) is not contained or corrected in the Prospectus taking into account information incorporated therein by reference (other than information incorporated by reference from the Series Term Sheets, Collateral Term Sheets, Structural Term Sheets and/or Computational Materials) or (ii) is not contained in any Pool Information.

          (f) Each Underwriter agrees to deliver to the Depositor any Collateral Term Sheets, Structural Term Sheets, Computational Materials and Series Term Sheets which it has prepared in connection with the Offered Certificates a reasonable time prior to the dissemination of such materials to any potential investor and shall not disseminate any such materials to which the Depositor reasonably objects.

           SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Depositor, CHEC, CHEC Conduit or HSF II submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or controlling persons thereof, or by or on behalf of the Depositor, and shall survive delivery of any Offered Certificates to the Underwriters.

           SECTION 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters participating in the public offering of the Offered Certificates shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Offered Certificates which it is (or they are) obligated to purchase hereunder (the "Defaulted Certificates"), then the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Certificates in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth. If, however, the non-defaulting Underwriters have not completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then

          (i) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Certificates does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Certificates to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters named in this Agreement shall be obligated to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all such non-defaulting Underwriters; or

          (ii) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Certificates exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Certificates to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate, without any liability on the part of the Depositor or any non-defaulting Underwriters.

          No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from the liability with respect to any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

          In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Depositor shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding five Business Days in order that any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

           SECTION 11. Termination of Agreement. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Depositor, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, if the events set forth in Section 6(h) of this Agreement shall occur and be continuing, or if any other closing condition set forth in Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when required to be fulfilled. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 7, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Section 8, and the provisions of Sections 9, 14 and 16 shall remain in effect.

           SECTION 12. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

          (a) if to the Underwriters, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to ____________________________________, Attention: _______________; and

          (b) if to the Depositor, CHEC, CHEC Conduit or HSF II, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to care of CHEC Funding, LLC, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

           SECTION 13. Persons Entitled to the Benefit of this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters, CHEC, CHEC Conduit, HSF II and the Depositor, and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements contained in this Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of the person or persons, if any, who control any of the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and for the benefit of each Underwriter's respective officers and directors and for the benefit of directors of the Depositor, officers of the Depositor who have signed the Registration Statement and any person controlling the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 13, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.

           SECTION 14. Survival. The respective indemnities, representations, warranties and agreements of the Depositor and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement, or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Certificates and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them.

           SECTION 15. Definition of the Term "Business Day." For purposes of this Agreement, "Business Day" means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading.

           SECTION 16. Governing Law: Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

          The parties hereto hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any court in the State of New York located in the City and County of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it or in connection with this Agreement or any of the related documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the parties hereto hereby agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard or determined in New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court.

          The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all rights to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

           SECTION 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed counterparts shall each be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

           SECTION 18. Headings. The headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.

           SECTION 19. Obligations of CHEC. CHEC agrees with the Underwriters, for the sole and exclusive benefit of each such Underwriter, each such Underwriter's officers and directors and each person controlling such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and not for the benefit of any assignee thereof or any other person or persons dealing with such Underwriter as follows: in consideration of and as an inducement to their agreement to purchase the Offered Certificates from the Depositor, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any failure by the Depositor to perform its obligations to the Underwriters hereunder, including, without limitation, any failure by the Depositor to honor any obligation to any Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 hereof. In the case of any claim against CHEC by any Underwriter, any officer or director of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, it shall not be necessary for such claimant to first pursue any remedy from or exhaust any procedures against the Depositor.
