q. Section 6.1(o) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

r. Section 6.17 is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety the last sentence therein and replacing it with the following sentence.:

s. Section 11.2 is hereby amended by (1) deleting the words “Non-Conforming Loans” and replacing them with the words “Mortgage Loans with respect to which Loan Specific Take-Out Commitments have been issued” and (2) inserting the words “Loan Specific” immediately after the words “that has issued a”.

BAILEE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT LETTER FOR POOL CUSTODIAN

[Name and address of pool custodian]
_                                                          
_                                                          

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The mortgage notes and other documents enclosed with this letter (the “Collateral”) and described on the attached schedule have been assigned and pledged to CALYON NEW YORK BRANCH, in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the “Lenders” under and as defined in the Loan Agreement entered into as of July 9, 2002 among CH FUNDING, LLC (the “Company”), the Issuer and Banks parties thereto, the Administrative Agent, and DHI MORTGAGE COMPANY, LTD., in its capacity as servicer thereunder (as the same may be increased, reduced, supplemented, amended, restated, renewed, extended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to that one certain Security Agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as the collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) dated as of July 9, 2002 (as it has been or may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.

The Collateral is now being conditionally delivered to you in trust as custodian for pooling in connection with the issuance of securities to be based on and backed by such Collateral (i.e., the issuance of “mortgage-backed securities”). If within forty-five (45) days after the date of this letter the Administrative Agent has not received the mortgage-backed securities themselves, then you must return the Collateral itself to the Collateral Agent. Until such time as the Collateral Agent receives the mortgage-backed securities in exchange for the Collateral or the Collateral itself, you shall be deemed to hold the Collateral (1) subject to the conditions stated in the immediately preceding sentence, (2) in trust for the use and benefit of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), (3) subject to and burdened by the security interest granted pursuant to the Security Agreement to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations and (4) as the Administrative Agent’s bailee in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code in the State of Delaware. You have no property interest in the Collateral until you send the mortgage-backed securities to the Collateral Agent, but instead have only the naked right to possession of the Collateral as bailee and trustee for the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this letter. If you receive conflicting or inconsistent instructions regarding the Collateral from the Company and the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, you agree to act in accordance with the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent’s instructions. It is understood that the Collateral Agent is delivering the Collateral, and will be receiving the mortgage-backed securities, or cash, as agent and bailee for the holders of the Obligations.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS LETTER OR ANY OTHER PAPERS OR AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT RESERVES THE RIGHT EXERCISABLE AT ANY TIME BEFORE THE MORTGAGED-BACKED SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND DELIVERED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO REQUIRE BY WRITTEN NOTICE, DELIVERED TO YOU IN ANY LEGALLY EFFECTIVE MANNER, THAT YOU RETURN THE COLLATERAL TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT, WHEREUPON YOU SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO DO SO WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE, AND THIS SENTENCE (AS WELL AS THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS LETTER) SHALL BE BINDING ON YOUR SUCCESSORS, TRUSTEES, CONSERVATORS, RECEIVERS AND ASSIGNS.

If the foregoing accurately reflects your understanding of your role with respect to the Collateral and in particular your status as bailee and trustee for the Collateral Agent and your very limited rights in the Collateral until you send the mortgage-backed securities to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the Collateral, please execute the enclosed copy of this letter and return it to us (although your receipt for this letter shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any of its provisions). Otherwise, please notify us and return all of the enclosed Collateral to us immediately and in any event within ten (10) days after the date of this letter. If you fail to either (a) execute and return a copy of this letter to the Collateral Agent or (b) return to the Collateral Agent all of the enclosed Collateral within ten (10) days after this letter’s date, then you shall have accepted possession of the Collateral as the Collateral Agent’s bailee, in trust, subject to the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the use and benefit of the holders of the Obligations, and on the conditions specified in this letter.

If the mortgage-backed securities are not received by the Collateral Agent in exchange for the enclosed Collateral on or before forty-five (45) days after this letter’s date, then you are instructed to return all of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent (although that shall not affect or impair any claim or cause of action against you in respect of your Take-Out Commitment).

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL APPLY HERETO).

(“DHI Mortgage”), in its capacity as servicer thereunder, pursuant to that certain Security Agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as the collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) dated as of July 9, 2002 (as it has been or may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”). DHI Mortgage is reacquiring the Mortgage Loans from CH Funding and is offering such Mortgage Loans to you. Each of the Mortgage Loans is subject to a security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, which security interest shall be automatically released upon your remittance of the full amount of the purchase price of such Mortgage Loan (as set forth on the schedule attached hereto) by wire transfer to the following account:

Pending your purchase of each Mortgage Loan and until payment therefor is received, the aforesaid security interest therein will remain in full force and effect, and you shall hold possession of such Collateral and the documentation evidencing same as custodian, agent and bailee for and on behalf of the Secured Parties. In the event any Mortgage Loan is unacceptable for purchase, return the rejected item directly to the Collateral Agent at the address set forth below. The Mortgage Loan must be so returned or sales proceeds remitted in full no later than ninety (90) calendar days from the date hereof (or, with the consent of DHI Mortgage, such longer period, not to exceed one hundred and nineteen (119) calendar days, as approved). In no event shall any Mortgage Loan be returned to or sales proceeds remitted to DHI Mortgage or CH Funding; Mortgage Loans and/or sale proceeds must be returned to the Collateral Agent and/or to the settlement account above. If you are unable to comply with the above instructions, please so advise the undersigned immediately.

NOTE: BY ACCEPTING THE MORTGAGE LOANS DELIVERED TO YOU WITH THIS LETTER, YOU CONSENT TO BE THE CUSTODIAN, AGENT AND BAILEE FOR THE SECURED PARTIES ON THE TERMS DESCRIBED IN THIS LETTER. THE UNDERSIGNED, AS COLLATERAL AGENT, REQUESTS THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THE ENCLOSED MORTGAGE LOANS AND THIS LETTER BY SIGNING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED COPY OF THIS LETTER TO THE UNDERSIGNED; HOWEVER, YOUR FAILURE TO DO SO DOES NOT NULLIFY SUCH CONSENT.
