                               MASTER AGREEMENT

                         dated as of November 30, 2006


    LEHMAN BROTHERS             THE BANK OF NEW YORK, not in its individual or
SPECIAL FINANCING INC.          corporate capacity but solely as Swap Contract
                                 Administrator for CWABS, Inc., Asset-Backed
                               Certificates, Series 2006-22, pursuant to a Swap
                                      Contract Administration Agreement

have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming
those Transactions.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:--

1.    Interpretation

(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have
the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.

(b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule
will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any
Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such
Confirmation will prevail for the purposes of the relevant Transaction.

(c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the
fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement
between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the
parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

2.    Obligations

(a)   General Conditions.

      (i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
      Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
      Agreement.

      (ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for
      value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
      Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
      transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
      required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than
      by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in
      the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise
      specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

      (iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to
      (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event
      of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is
      continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date
      in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively
      designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified
      in this Agreement.

(b)   Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which
such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a
reasonable objection to such change.

(c)   Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable: --

      (i) in the same currency; and

      (ii) in respect of the same Transaction,

by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to
make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged
and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one
party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by
the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger
aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess
of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be
made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii)
above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the
election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii)
above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date).
This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and
will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties
make and receive payments or deliveries.

(d)   Deduction or Withholding for Tax.

      (i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
      deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
      deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified
      by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in
      effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party
      ("X") will: --

            (1)   promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;

            (2)   pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to
            be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be
            deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y
            under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining
            that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice
            that such amount has been assessed against Y;

            (3)   promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified
            copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y,
            evidencing such payment to such authorities; and

            (4)   if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to
            the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement,
            such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net
            amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable
            Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the Full amount
            Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been
            required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional
            amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid
            but for: --

                  (A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
                  contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

                  (B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
                  Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure
                  would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a
                  taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent
                  jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is
                  entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or
                  brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a
                  Change in Tax Law.

                                      2
<PAGE>


      (ii)  Liability. If: --

            (1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the
            practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make
            any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be
            required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section
            2(d)(i)(4);

            (2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and

            (3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly
            against X,

      then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the
      liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount
      of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but
      including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to
      comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i),
      4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).

(e) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant
Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment
obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c),
be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue
amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue
amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment
to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such
interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual
number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation
of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party
defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by
delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent
provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

3.    Representations

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed
to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered
into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times
until the termination of this Agreement) that: --

(a)   Basic Representations.

      of the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and, if relevant

      under any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and has taken
      all necessary action to authorise such execution, delivery and
      performance;

      (iii) No Violation or Conflict. Such execution, delivery and performance
      do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision
      of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or
      other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any
      contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;

      (iv)  Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to
      have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit
      Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in
      full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been
      complied with; and

      (v)   Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any
      Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal,
      valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their
      respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation,
      insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights
      generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of
      general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
      proceeding in equity or at law)).

Agreement is located ("Stamp Tax Jurisdiction") and will indemnify the other
party against any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon the other party or in

(a)   Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified

Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below: --

      (i)  Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable
      law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the

      applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a
      result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which
