SECOND AMENDMENT
REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

        THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made and dated as of December 16, 2002 by and among COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., a New York corporation (the “Company”), the Lenders signing below, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as the Managing Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Managing Administrative Agent”).

RECITALS

         A.      Pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December 17, 2001 by and among the Company, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, the Managing Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agent, and the Other Facility Agents (as amended, extended and replaced from time to time, the "Credit Agreement," and with capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined used with the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement), the Short Term Lenders currently party to the Credit Agreement (the "Existing Short Term Lenders") agreed to extend credit on a short-term basis to the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

         B.      The Short Term Lenders signing below have agreed to extend the Short Term Facility Maturity Date on the terms and conditions set forth below.

         C.      In addition, the Lenders (including both the Short Term Lender and the Multi-Year Lenders) have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

         1.      Extension of Short Term Facility Maturity Date. To reflect the agreement of the Company and those Short Term Lenders signing this Amendment to extend the Short Term Facility Maturity Date, effective as of the Effective Date (as defined in Paragraph 7 below), the definition of the term "Short Term Facility Maturity Date" set forth in the Glossary to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the date "December 16, 2002" set forth therein and replacing the same with the date "December 15, 2003."

         2.      Addition of New Lenders. To reflect the fact that certain financial institutions which are not currently Short Term Lenders may desire to become Short Term Lenders under the Credit Agreement, any such financial institution signing below as an "Applicant Financial Institution" (and defined herein as such) shall become a "Short Term Lender" under the Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date, and shall be deemed approved by each of the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent pursuant to Paragraph 14(a) of the Credit Agreement, on the following terms and conditions:

                  (a)      Each such Applicant Financial Institution hereby acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Effective Date it will be a "Short Term Lender" under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents with all the rights and benefits and with all the obligations of the Short Term Lenders thereunder.

                  (b)      On and after the Effective Date, the Maximum Short Term Facility Commitment and Short Term Swing Line Commitment of each such Applicant Financial Institution shall be consistent with the Commitment Schedule attached hereto as Annex 1 (the "Replacement Commitment Schedule") and, if necessary, each such Applicant Financial Institution hereby agrees to purchase on the Effective Date and to accept the assignment and transfer of a portion of the Maximum Short Term Facility Commitments and, as applicable, the Short Term Swingline Commitments held by the Existing Short Term Lenders consistent with the Replacement Commitment Schedule.

                  (c)      The Managing Administrative Agent hereby waives: (1) receipt of any Additional Lender Agreement or Assignment Agreement that would otherwise be required to be executed and delivered by such Applicant Financial Institution pursuant to Paragraph 14(a)(2)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, and (2) the registration fee of $3,500.00 required to be delivered by each Applicant Financial Institution pursuant to Paragraph 14(a)(2)(iv) of the Credit Agreement.

         3.      Reallocation of Commitments. Notwithstanding whether any Applicant Financial Institution becomes a "Short Term Lender" under the Credit Agreement on the Effective Date pursuant to Paragraph 2 above, no later than 12:30 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on the Effective Date, each Short Term Lender signing this Amendment (including each Applicant Financial Institution, if any) will pay to the Managing Administrative Agent any amount necessary to cause such Short Term Lender's Short Term Facility Percentage Share of Short Term Loans outstanding and, as applicable, such Short Term Lender's Short Term Swing Line Percentage Share of Short Term Swing Loans outstanding to be consistent with the Replacement Commitment Schedule, and the Managing Administrative Agent shall thereupon remit to the Existing Short Term Lenders, as applicable, their shares of such funds. Fees and interest accrued with respect to Short Term Loans and Short Term Swing Loans to but not including the Effective Date shall be payable to the Existing Short Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Short Term Facility Percentage Shares and Short Term Swing Line Percentage Shares, as appropriate, in effect prior to the Effective Date.

         4.      Confidentiality Provisions. To reflect the agreement of the parties hereto to amend the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement in certain respects, Paragraph 14(g) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                  “14(g)      Provision of Information; Confidentiality. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that in connection with any proposed assignment, participation, subparticipation, securitization, hedge or any similar transaction by a Lender with respect to its interest in the Obligations, such Lender may disclose to actual and prospective assignees, participants, Affiliates, and direct or indirect contractual counterparties, and the professional advisers of each (collectively, "Transferees"), any and all information provided to such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that such information shall be furnished to such Transferees on a confidential basis.”
