right, title, and interest existing now or in the future in

(3) its rights under the hazard insurance policies related to the
mortgages that secure the Mortgage Loans;
(4) all rights under any guaranty executed in connection with that
Mortgage Loan;
(5) all other assets included or to be included in the Trust for the

CLFT, with respect to each Mortgage Loan it owns as indicated on Schedule

title, and interest existing now or in the future in

Seller, each future draw of new borrowing under the related Credit Line
Agreement. The Purchaser shall pay the applicable Seller for each Additional
Balance in cash in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Additional
Balance as it arises. The Trust, the applicable Seller, and the Purchaser may
agree to a netting arrangement in connection with this transaction, when
appropriate, rather than actually moving cash.
Section 2.02 Obligations of Sellers Upon Sale.
In connection with the transfers pursuant to Section 2.01(a), each Seller
further agrees, at its own expense:
(a) to deliver to the Purchaser by the Closing Date a Mortgage Loan
Schedule containing an accurate list of all Mortgage Loans sold by it,
specifying for each Mortgage Loan, among other things, its account number and
its Cut-off Date Asset Balance; and
(b) to indicate in its books and records that the applicable Mortgage
Loans have been sold to the Indenture Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser,
pursuant to this Agreement by the Closing Date for the Mortgage Loans.
The Mortgage Loan Schedule containing the Mortgage Loans sold by both
Sellers is Exhibit A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall also be
attached as Schedule I to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into this
Agreement.
Each Seller agrees to perfect and protect the Purchaser's interest in
each Mortgage Loan transferred by it pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and its
proceeds by preparing, executing, and filing a UCC1 Financing Statement with
the Secretary of State in the State of New York describing the Mortgage Loans
and naming the applicable Seller as debtor and the Purchaser as secured party
and indicating that the Mortgage Loans have been assigned to the Trust and all
necessary Continuation Statements and any additional UCC1 Financing Statements
due to a change in the name or the state of incorporation of that Seller. The
Financing Statement shall be filed by the Closing Date. This Financing
Statement will state in bold-faced type that a purchase of the Mortgage Loans
included in the collateral covered by the Financing Statement from the debtor
will violate the rights of the secured party and its assignee.
3
The Purchaser agrees to perfect and protect the Trust's interest in each
Mortgage Loan and its proceeds by preparing, executing, and filing a UCC1

describing the Mortgage Loans and naming the Purchaser as debtor and the Trust
as secured party (and indicating that the Mortgage Loans have been pledged to
the Indenture Trustee) and all necessary Continuation Statements and any
additional UCC1 Financing Statements due to a change in the name or the state
of incorporation of the Purchaser. The Financing Statement shall be filed by
the Closing Date. This Financing Statement will state in bold-faced type that
a purchase of the Mortgage Loans included in the collateral covered by the
Financing Statement from the debtor will violate the rights of the secured
party and its assignee.
In connection with any transfer by each Seller, it shall deliver to the
order of the Purchaser the following documents for each Mortgage Loan
transferred by that Seller (the "Related Documentation"):
(1) the original Mortgage Note endorsed in blank or, if the original
Mortgage Note has been lost or destroyed and not replaced, an original
lost note affidavit from the Sponsor stating that the original Mortgage
Note was lost, misplaced, or destroyed, together with a copy of the
related Mortgage Note;
(2) unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R) System, an
original assignment of mortgage in blank in recordable form;
(3) the original recorded mortgage with evidence of recording on it
(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) or, if the original recorded mortgage with evidence of
recording on it cannot be delivered by the Closing Date because of a
delay caused by the public recording office where the original Mortgage
has been delivered for recordation or because the original Mortgage has
been lost, the Sponsor shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an accurate
copy of the mortgage, together with (i) when the delay is caused by the
public recording office, an Officer's Certificate of the Sponsor or the
Purchaser stating that the original mortgage has been dispatched to the
appropriate public recording official or (ii) when the original mortgage
has been lost, a certificate by the appropriate county recording office
where the mortgage is recorded;
(4) any original intervening assignments needed for a complete chain
of title to the Trust with evidence of recording on them, or, if any
original intervening assignment has not been returned from the applicable
recording office or has been lost, an accurate copy of it, together with
(i) when the delay is caused by the public recording office, an Officer's
Certificate of the Sponsor or the Purchaser stating that the original
intervening assignment has been dispatched to the appropriate public
recording
4
official for recordation or (ii) when the original intervening assignment
has been lost, a certificate by the appropriate county recording office
where the mortgage is recorded;
(5) a title policy for each Mortgage Loan with a Credit Limit in
excess of $100,000;
(6) the original of any guaranty executed in connection with the
Mortgage Note;
(7) the original of each assumption, modification, consolidation, or
substitution agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan; and
(8) any security agreement, chattel mortgage, or equivalent
instrument executed in connection with the Mortgage.
The Related Documentation will be delivered:
(1) no later than the Closing Date, with respect to no less than 50%
of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group,
(2) no later than the twentieth day after the Closing Date, with
respect to no less than 40% of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group in
addition to those delivered on the Closing Date, and
(3) within thirty days following the Closing Date, with respect to the
remaining Mortgage Loans.
Each Seller confirms to the Purchaser that, as of the Closing Date, it
has caused the portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Mortgage
Loans maintained by that Seller to be clearly and unambiguously marked to
indicate that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser, and sold by
the Purchaser to the Trust, and Granted by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee,
and that a purchase of those Mortgage Loans from that Seller or the Purchaser
will violate the rights of the Trust, as secured party with respect to those
Mortgage Loans. By the applicable date of substitution, CHL shall cause the
portions of the Electronic Ledgers relating to the relevant Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, to be clearly and unambiguously
marked, and shall make appropriate entries in its general accounting records,
to indicate that those Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust at
the direction of the Purchaser and that they have been Granted by the Trust to
the Indenture Trustee, and that a purchase of the Mortgage Loans from CHL or
the Purchaser will violate the rights of the Trust, as secured party with
respect to those Mortgage Loans.
The Purchaser accepts all right, title, and interest of each of the
Sellers existing now or in the future in the Mortgage Loans and other property
transferred to it pursuant to this Section.
5
Notwithstanding the characterization of the Notes as debt for federal,
state, and local income and franchise tax purposes, the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans is a sale by each Seller to the Purchaser of all its interest
in the applicable Mortgage Loans and other property described above. However,
to provide for the possibility that either transfer might be characterized as
a transfer for security and not as a sale, each Seller hereby Grants to the
Purchaser a Security Interest in all of its right, title, and interest in the
applicable Mortgage Loans and other property described above, whether existing
now or in the future, to secure all of that its obligations under this
Agreement; and this Agreement shall constitute a Security Agreement under
applicable law.
Section 2.03 Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans.
In consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans from each of the
Sellers to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to transfer
to the applicable Seller on the Closing Date the purchase price for the
applicable Mortgage Loans provided in the Adoption Annex attached as Annex 1
to this Agreement (the "Adoption Annex").

Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution), the
definition of "prime rate" in each Credit Line Agreement relating to a
Mortgage Loan does not differ materially from "the highest `prime rate'
as published in the `Money Rates' table of The Wall Street Journal as of
the first business day of the calendar month for the applicable interest
rate adjustment date."
(30) The weighted average remaining term to maturity of the Mortgage
Loans in each Loan Group on a contractual basis as of the Cut-off Date is
approximately the number of months specified for that Loan Group in the
Adoption Annex. On each date that the Loan Rates have been adjusted,
interest rate adjustments
13
on the Mortgage Loans were made in compliance with the related mortgage
and Mortgage Note and applicable law. Over the term of each Mortgage
Loan, the Loan Rate may not exceed the related Loan Rate Cap. The Loan
Rate Cap for the Mortgage Loans ranges between the percentages specified
in the Adoption Annex for that Loan Group and the weighted average Loan
Rate Cap is approximately the percentage specified in the Adoption Annex
for that Loan Group. The Gross Margins for the Mortgage Loans in each
Loan Group range between the percentages specified in the Adoption Annex
for that Loan Group and the weighted average Gross Margin is
approximately the percentage specified in the Adoption Annex for that
Loan Group as of the Cut-off Date. The Loan Rates on the Mortgage Loans
in each Loan Group range between the percentages specified in the
Adoption Annex for that Loan Group and the weighted average Loan Rate on
the Mortgage Loans is approximately the percentage specified in the
Adoption Annex for that Loan Group.
(31) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution), each
Mortgaged Property consists of a single parcel of real property with a
one-to-four unit single family residence erected on it, or an individual
condominium unit, planned unit development unit, or townhouse.
(32) No more than the percentage specified in the Adoption Annex (by
Cut-off Date Loan Balance) for each Loan Group of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Loan Group are secured by real property improved by
individual condominium units, units in planned unit developments,
townhouses, or two-to-four family residences erected on them, and at
least the percentage specified in the Adoption Annex (by Cut-off Date
Loan Balance) for each Loan Group of the Mortgage Loans in the related
Loan Group are secured by real property with a detached one-family
residence erected on them.
(33) The Credit Limits on the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group
range between approximately the dollar amounts specified in the Adoption
Annex for that Loan Group with an average of approximately the dollar
amount specified in the Adoption Annex for that Loan Group. As of the
Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan in either Loan Group had a principal
balance in excess of approximately the dollar amount specified in the
Adoption Annex for that Loan Group and the average principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group is equal to approximately the
dollar amounts specified in the Adoption Annex for that Loan Group.
(34) Approximately the percentages specified in the Adoption Annex
of the Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off
Date, are secured by first and second liens.
14
(35) As of the Closing Date, no more than the percentage specified
in the Adoption Annex for each Loan Group of the Mortgage Loans in the
related Loan Group, by aggregate principal balance, were appraised
electronically.
(36) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution), no
default exists under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage Loan and no event
that, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default under any Mortgage Note
or Mortgage Loan has occurred and been waived. As of the Closing Date
(or, with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the
applicable date of substitution), no modifications to the Mortgage Notes
and Mortgage Loans have been made and not disclosed in the Mortgage
Files.
(37) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution), each
Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with the Sponsor's
underwriting guidelines and the Sponsor had no knowledge of any fact that
would have caused a reasonable originator of mortgage loans to conclude
on the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan that each such Mortgage
Loan would not be paid in full when due.
(38) To the best knowledge of CHL at the time of origination of each
Mortgage Loan, no improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged
Property was in violation of any applicable zoning and subdivision laws
or ordinances.
(39) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution), any
leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of not less than
five years in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(40) Based on the drawn balances of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage
Loans had the characteristics set out in the Adoption Annex for each Loan
Group in respect of the following: weighted average Combined
Loan-to-Value Ratio; range of Combined Loan-to-Value Ratios; percentage
of primary residences; weighted average FICO score; range of FICO scores;
Weighted Average Net Loan Rate; range of net Loan Rates; weighted average
original stated term to maturity; range of original term to maturity;
range of remaining term to maturity; average drawn balance; weighted
average utilization ratio; and percentage of the Mortgage Loans that have
their respective Mortgaged Properties located in the top five states,
measured by aggregate drawn balances.
(41) Any Mortgage Loan that has been modified in any manner has been
so modified in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Master
Servicer and in a
15
manner that was permitted by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Indenture, and any other Transaction Document.
(42) Each Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of
Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by an entity
that satisfied at the time of origination the requirements of Section
3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(43) At the time each Mortgage Loan was originated, each Seller was,
and each Seller is an approved seller of conventional mortgage loans for
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac and is a mortgagee approved by the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the
National Housing Act.
(44) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a
condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable,
in an amount at least equal to the principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date or a commitment (binder) to issue
the same was effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage
Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full force, and each such
policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac and is in a form acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, which policy insures the Sponsor and successor owners of
indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as to the first priority
lien, of the Mortgage subject to the exceptions in paragraph (7) above.
(45) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution) the
improvements on each Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and
existing hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that
provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements securing the Mortgage Loan or
(ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of the policy will be
sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the mortgagee from becoming a
co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is
included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the
condominium unit. All such individual insurance policies and all flood
policies referred to in item (46) below contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Sponsor or the original mortgagee, and its successors
in interest, as mortgagee, and the Sponsor has received no notice that
any premiums due and payable thereon have not been paid, and the Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance,
including flood insurance, at the Mortgagor's expense, and upon the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder
16
of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's
expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(46) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance
Administration is in effect with respect to the Mortgaged Property with a
generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage not less
than the least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan and any mortgage loan senior to that Mortgage Loan from time to
time, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on
a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that is
available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968.
(47) Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and
each is the valid and legally binding obligation of its maker,
enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law, except
that (a) its enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, receivership, and other similar laws relating to creditors'
rights generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and
injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to
equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought. To the best of CHL's knowledge, all
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to
execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
(48) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other
contingent interest feature.
(49) To the best of CHL's knowledge, all of the improvements that
were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the
Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach on the Mortgaged Property.
(50) To the best of CHL's knowledge, all inspections, licenses, and
certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied
portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and
occupancy of the same, including certificates of occupancy and fire
underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities, unless their lack would not have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged
Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
17
(51) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
that render the rights and remedies of its holder adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by it, including, (i) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
(52) Before the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, an
appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was obtained from a qualified
appraiser, duly appointed by the Sponsor, who had no interest, direct or
indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan secured by the
Mortgaged Property, and whose compensation is not affected by the
approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.
(53) Except for (A) payments in the nature of escrow payments, and
(B) interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of
disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is later, to the day
that precedes by one month the Due Period of the first installment of
principal and interest and taxes and insurance payments, the Sponsor has
not advanced funds, or induced, solicited, or knowingly received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage.
(54) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution) no
foreclosure proceedings are pending against any Mortgaged Property and no
Mortgage Loan is subject to any pending bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding.
(55) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution), there is
no homestead exemption available and enforceable that materially
interferes with the right to sell any Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
sale or the right to foreclose the related Mortgage.
(56) No borrower was required to purchase any single premium credit
insurance policy (e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, or
health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition
of obtaining the extension of credit. No borrower obtained a prepaid
single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, disability, accident,
unemployment, mortgage, or health insurance) in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were
used to purchase debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination
of, or as a condition to closing, the Mortgage Loan.
(57) The Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate, conform
in all material respects to their descriptions in the Prospectus
Supplement.
(58) No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity
Protection Act of 1994.
18
(59) No Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 and
before March 7, 2003 is secured by Mortgaged Property located in the
State of Georgia.
(60) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution), no
Mortgage Loan is classified as (1) a "high cost" loan under the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (2) a "high cost,"
"threshold," "covered," "predatory," or similar loan under any other
applicable state, federal, or local law that applies to mortgage loans
(or a similar classified loan using different terminology under a law
imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for
residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points, or fees).
(61) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single
premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination of, or as a
condition to closing, the Mortgage Loan.
(62) No subprime Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1,
2002 will impose a prepayment premium after the third anniversary of the
Mortgage Loan. No subprime Mortgage Loan originated before October 1,
2002, and no non-subprime Mortgage Loan, will impose a prepayment penalty
after the fifth anniversary of the Mortgage Loan.
(63) The servicer for each Mortgage Loan has fully furnished, in
accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable and
unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans
Union Credit Information Company on a monthly basis.
(64) All of the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group specified in the
Adoption Annex conform to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac maximum principal
balance (by credit limit) guidelines.
(65) With respect to all of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1
originated from August 1, 2004 through April 30, 2005, if the related
Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgage Note, or any document relating to
the loan transaction, contains a mandatory arbitration clause (that is, a
clause that requires the borrower to submit to arbitration to resolve any
dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the mortgage loan
transaction), CHL will (i) notify the related borrower in writing within
60 days after the Closing Date that none of the related seller, the
related servicer or any subsequent party that acquires an interest in the
Mortgage Loan or services the Mortgage Loan will enforce the arbitration
clause against the borrower, but that the borrower will continue to have
the right to submit a dispute to arbitration, and (ii) place a copy of
that notice in the Mortgage File.
19
(b) If the substance of any representation or warranty under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or in this Section made to the best of CHL's knowledge or
as to which a Seller has no knowledge is inaccurate and the inaccuracy
materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser or its assignee
in the related Mortgage Loan, then, notwithstanding that the Seller did not
know the substance of the representation and warranty was inaccurate at the
time the representation or warranty was made, the inaccuracy shall be a breach
of the applicable representation or warranty and CHL shall cure the breach,
repurchase the Mortgage Loan, or substitute for the Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(c) The representations and warranties in this Section shall survive the
transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser. The sole
remedy of the Purchaser, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
Noteholders, and the Credit Enhancer against a Seller for the breach of a
representation or warranty is CHL's obligation to accept a transfer of a
Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing and to make
any required deposit in the Collection Account or to substitute an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan.
(d) The Purchaser acknowledges that CHL, as Master Servicer, in its sole
discretion, may purchase for its own account from the Trust any Mortgage Loan
that is 151 days or more delinquent. The price for any Mortgage Loan purchased
shall be calculated in the same manner as in Section 3.06 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and shall be deposited in the Collection Account. When it
receives a certificate from the Master Servicer in the form of Exhibit D to
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust shall release to the purchaser of
the Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver any
instruments of transfer prepared by the purchaser of the Mortgage Loan,
without recourse, necessary to vest in the purchaser of the Mortgage Loan any
Mortgage Loan released pursuant to this Agreement, and the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trust's interest in the Mortgage Loan
and all security and documents. This assignment shall be an assignment
outright and not for security. The purchaser of the Mortgage Loan shall then
own the Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further
obligation to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Transferor, the Credit Enhancer, or the Noteholders with respect to it.
(e) A breach of any one of the representations in Sections 3.02(a)(58) to
(65) will be considered to materially adversely affect the interests of the
Noteholders.

STANDARD & POOR'S GLOSSARY
Standard & Poor's Predatory Lending Categorization
Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending
laws in the jurisdictions listed below into three categories based on a
combination of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the
assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws.
Note that certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are
included in Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan category because they included
thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High
Cost by the industry.
