POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of
October 1, 2006, among BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the
“Depositor”), EMC MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation, as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”)
and as company (in such capacity, the “Company”),
LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association,
as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master
Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity,
the “Securities Administrator”), and CITIBANK, N.A., a
national banking association, as trustee (the
“Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund
that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the
Certificates. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor
acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller. On the Closing Date,
the Depositor will sell the Mortgage Loans and certain other
property to the Trust Fund and receive in consideration therefor
Certificates evidencing the entire beneficial ownership interest in
the Trust Fund.
REMIC I
As provided herein, the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee will elect to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and
certain other related assets subject to this Agreement (other than
the Reserve Fund, any Prepayment Charge Waiver Amounts and, for the
avoidance of doubt, the Supplemental Interest Trust, the Swap
Agreement, the Swap Account and any rights or obligations in
respect of the Swap Administration Agreement) as a REMIC (as
defined herein) for federal income tax purposes, and such
segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC
I”. The Class R-1 Certificates will represent the sole class
of Residual Interests (as defined herein) in REMIC I for purposes
of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table
irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC I
Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal 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.

_____________________________________
(1) For purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of
the Treasury regulations, the Distribution Date in the month
following the maturity date for the Mortgage Loan with the latest
maturity date has been designated as the “latest possible
maturity date” for each REMIC I Regular Interest.
(2) Calculated in accordance with the definition of
“Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate”
herein.
As provided herein, the Securities Administrator
on behalf of the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of
assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets
will be designated as “REMIC II”. The Class R-2
Certificates will represent the sole class of Residual Interests in
REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The following
table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated
REMIC II Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal
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 II Regular Interests (as defined
herein). None of the REMIC II Regular Interests will be
certificated.

As provided herein, the Securities Administrator
on behalf of the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of

REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designation, Pass-Through Rate, Initial Certificate Principal
Balance (or initial Uncertificated Principal Balance, in the case
of the Class C Interest and the Class IO Interest) and, for
purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity

Interest in REMIC III and also represents (i) the right to receive
certain amounts specified herein in respect of Basis Risk Shortfall
Carry Forward Amounts (as defined herein) and (ii) the obligation
