Charge Schedule

This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated
and effective as of March 1, 2006 among MORTGAGE ASSET
SECURITIZATION TRANSACTIONS, INC. as Depositor, HOMEQ SERVICING
CORPORATION as Servicer, WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. as Master Servicer,
Trust Administrator and Custodian and U.S. BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION as Trustee.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell pass-through
certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in
the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created hereunder. The
Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised of
the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this
Agreement.
REMIC I
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to
treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage
Loans and certain other related assets (other than the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, the Swap Account, the Supplemental
Interest Trust, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Cap Account,
the Cap Contract, any Originator Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts
and any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts) subject to this
Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such
segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC
I.” The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of
“residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table
irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance
Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of
satisfying Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the
“latest possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC I
Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC I Regular
Interests will be certificated.

REMIC III
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to
treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC II
Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and
such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC
III.” The Class R-III Interest will evidence the sole class
of “residual interests” in REMIC III for purposes of
the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law. The following
table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Pass-Through
Rate, the initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance and, for
purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity
date” for the indicated Classes of Certificates.
Each Certificate, other than the Class P
Certificate, the Class CE Certificate, the Class R Certificates and
the Class R-X Certificates, represents ownership of a Regular
Interest in REMIC III and also represents (i) the right to receive
payments with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount (as
defined herein) and (ii) the obligation to pay Class IO
Distribution Amounts (as defined herein). The entitlement to
principal of the Regular Interest which corresponds to each
Certificate shall be equal in amount and timing to the entitlement
to principal of such Certificate.
