termination event (other than servicer termination events related to pool performance criteria) occurring after the Closing Date, (a) Seller shall purchase from Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates, as applicable, upon Purchaser’s request made within 30 days of such termination, the residual interests in the related Securitization Trust at the applicable purchase price set forth on Section 7.11(d)(4) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (b) Seller shall compensate Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates, as applicable, for the loss of the servicing rights, advances and prepayment penalties associated with such Securitization Trust, with pricing for such rights and assets to be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth on Section 7.11(d)(5) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

     8. Settlement of Intercompany Obligations.

          8.1.

Purchaser agrees to cause the Company to distribute an amount equal to such accrual at the time and in the manner such distributions under the Profit Sharing Plan have historically been made by the Company.

          8.2. The parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding Section 7.13 of the Agreement, the Company and Seller shall not be required to, but may at their option, cause all Intercompany Obligations to be satisfied, paid and settled prior to the Closing. To the extent that any such Intercompany Obligations have not been satisfied, paid and settled prior to the Closing, such unsatisfied Intercompany Obligations shall be included in the calculation of the Initial Member’s Equity and the net amount owed by the Company or its Subsidiaries or by Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable (the “Net Closing Intercompany Amount”), shall be satisfied and paid at the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any miscellaneous monthly charges in the ordinary course of business relating to periods up to the Closing Date, which are not determinable at Closing, will be satisfied by the Company after Closing in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and will be reflected in the calculation of Final Member’s Equity.

     a. Clause (i) of Section 1.2(a) of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     10. Guarantees, Bonds and Other Obligations. Notwithstanding Section 7.12 of the Agreement, the parties agree that the indemnity agreements identified on Exhibit A hereto (the “Parent Bond Indemnities”), to which Parent and certain of its Affiliates are parties, shall remain in effect and Parent shall not take any action to terminate such indemnity agreements prior to the earlier of (a) March 31, 2007 or (b) the date on which all of the bonds identified on Exhibit B have been terminated and replaced or the issuers thereof have consented to the release and discharge of Parent and its Affiliates under the Parent Bond Indemnities. As promptly as practicable following Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate and replace the bonds identified on Exhibit B hereto or otherwise obtain the bond issuers’ consent to the release and discharge of Parent and its Affiliates, as applicable, from the Parent Bond Indemnities with respect to all existing or future bonds related to the Company and its Subsidiaries in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller. If the bonds have not been terminated and replaced, or the issuers’ consent to the release and discharge of Parent and its Affiliates from the Parent Bond Indemnities have not been obtained, by March 31, 2007, Purchaser shall cause the Company to terminate all such bonds that are in effect as of such date. Seller shall not permit the Company to issue any additional bonds after the Closing Date that would be covered by the Parent Bond Indemnities without the prior written consent of Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser, the Company and any CHEC Sister Companies shall in any event indemnify Parent and its Affiliates for all payments Parent and its Affiliates make related to the bonds identified on Exhibit B (or any additional bonds related to the Company to which Seller consents) after the Closing Date under all such indemnity agreements.

Notwithstanding Section 7.6(a) of the Agreement, the parties agree that one year following the Closing Date they will cooperate with one another in determining which employees and former employees of the Company still maintain balances in the Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan of Centex Corporation. At Seller’s option, Purchaser shall cause the Company either to (i) permit Seller to make copies at its expense of all personnel files for such employees or (ii) institute policies and procedures reasonably acceptable to Seller which are designed to ensure that all such personnel files are not disposed of or destroyed while the applicable employees maintain balances in the Centex plan without first giving Seller the option to make copies of such files.

     12. Payment of Purchase Price. The parties agree that, at Seller’s direction in accordance with Section 13.4 of the Agreement, Purchaser shall pay all proceeds owed by Purchaser to Seller under the Agreement, including the Initial Purchase Price and the Adjusted Purchase Price, directly to Centex Corporation.

     13. Revised Swap Adjustment. The definition of Revised Swap Adjustment in Section 1.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     ““Revised Swap Adjustment”: There shall be added to Initial Purchase Price the amount subtracted pursuant to the Swap Adjustment and there shall be subtracted from the Initial Purchase Price the amount added pursuant to the Swap Adjustment and there shall be subtracted from the Initial Purchase Price an amount equal to Book Value of the Residual Swaps as of the Closing Date (it being understood that the Book Value as of the Closing Date of those Residual Swaps terminated at Closing shall be equal to the cash received or paid in respect thereof), and there shall be added to the Initial Purchase Price an amount equal to (A) the Fair Market Value of the Residual Swaps on the Hedge Date (as determined pursuant to item (viii) of Schedule 1.2(a)), minus (B) the Unhedged Residual Value Differential, minus (C) any cash received in respect of the Residual Swaps from the Hedge Date through the Closing Date, plus (D) any cash paid in respect of the Residual Swaps from the Hedge Date through the Closing Date, plus or minus (E) any cash received or paid in respect of the sale, assignment or termination of the Residual Swaps through the Closing Date;”
