POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of March 1, 2007, by and among CWABS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., a New York corporation, as seller (“CHL” or a “Seller”), PARK MONACO INC., a Delaware corporation, as a seller (“Park Monaco” or a “Seller”), PARK SIENNA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as a seller (“Park Sienna” or a “Seller”, and together with CHL and Park Monaco, the “Sellers”), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS SERVICING LP, a Texas limited partnership, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK TRUST COMPANY, N.A., a national banking association, as co-trustee (the “Co-Trustee”).

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 

The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. The Trust Fund (excluding the Carryover Reserve Fund, the assets held in the Pre-Funding Account and the Capitalized Interest Account and the Trust Fund’s rights with respect to payments received under the Corridor Contracts) for federal income tax purposes will consist of three REMICs (the “Swap-IO REMIC,” the “Strip REMIC” and the “Master REMIC”).  Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R Certificate, will represent ownership of one or more regular interests in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Swap-IO REMIC, the Strip REMIC and the Master REMIC.  The Master REMIC will hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Strip REMIC Interests (other than the STR-A-R Interest).  Each Strip REMIC Interest (other than the STR-A-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Strip REMIC.  The Strip REMIC will hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Swap-IO REMIC Interests (other than the SWR-A-R Interest). Each Swap-IO REMIC Interest (other than the SWR-A-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Swap-IO REMIC.  The Swap-IO REMIC will hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund (excluding the Carryover Reserve Fund, the assets held in the Pre-Funding Account and the Capitalized Interest Account and the Trust Fund’s rights with respect to payments received under the Corridor Contracts).  The latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular interests created in this Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

 

None of the REMICs described herein shall hold any interest in the Swap Trust, Swap Contract, Swap Account or Final Maturity Reserve Trust.

 

SWAP-IO REMIC:

 

The Swap-IO REMIC Interests will have the principal balances and pass-through rates as set forth below.

(1)

Scheduled principal, prepayments and Realized Losses will be allocated first, to the SWR-Support Interest and second, to the numbered classes sequentially (from lowest to highest).  Amounts so allocated to a numbered class shall be further allocated between the “A” and “B” components of such numbered class pro-rata until the entire class is reduced to zero.

 

(2)

On and after the 7th Distribution Date and on and until the 50th Distribution Date, a rate equal to twice the Pool Tax Cap less 10.16% per annum.  Prior to the 7th Distribution Date and on and after the 51st Distribution Date, a rate equal to the Pool Tax Cap.  The “Pool Tax Cap” means the weighted average of the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rates of all the Mortgage Loans.  For this purpose, beginning on the Distribution Date in April 2017 and ending on the Distribution Date in March 2037 (the “Last Scheduled Distribution Date”), the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate shall be determined by first reducing the interest payable on each 40-Year Mortgage Loan by the 40-Year Reserve Rate.

 

(3)

On and after the 7th Distribution Date and on and until the 50th Distribution Date, a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 10.16% per annum and (ii) twice the Pool Tax Cap.  Prior to the 7th Distribution Date and on and after the 51st Distribution Date, a rate equal to the Pool Tax Cap.

 

(4)

On the Closing Date and on each Distribution Date, following the allocation of Principal Amounts and Realized Losses, the principal balance in respect of the SWR-Support Interest will equal the excess of (a) the sum of (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans (as of the end of the related Due Period, reduced by principal prepayments received after such Due Period that are to be distributed on such Distribution Date) and (ii) the amount, if any, on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account in respect of the Mortgage Loans over (b) the principal balance in respect of the remaining Swap-IO REMIC Interests other than the SWR-P and the SWR-A-R Interests.

 

(5)

A rate equal to the Pool Tax Cap.

 

(6)

On each Distribution Date the SWR-P Interest is entitled to all Prepayment Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans.   It pays no interest.

 

(7)

Beginning on the Distribution Date in April 2017 and ending on the Last Scheduled Distribution Date, the SW-40 Year Reserve Interest shall be entitled to a specific portion of the interest payable on each 40-Year Mortgage Loan.  Specifically, the SW-40 Year Reserve Interest shall be entitled to a specific portion of the interest payable on the Stated Principal Balance of each 40-Year Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in the month preceding the month of that Distribution Date (after giving effect to principal prepayments in the Prepayment Period related to that prior Due Date) at a per annum rate equal to 0.80% (the “40-Year Reserve Rate”).

 

(8)

The SW-A-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Swap-IO REMIC.  It has no principal and pays no principal or interest.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Interest Funds and the Principal Distribution Amount payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be payable with respect to the Swap-IO REMIC Interests in the following manner:

 

(1)            Interest .  Interest is to be distributed with respect to each Swap-IO REMIC Interest at the rate, or according to the formulas, described above.

(1)

The Certificates will accrue interest at the related Pass-Through Rates identified in this Agreement.  For federal income tax purposes, including the computation of the Class C Distributable Amount and entitlement to Net Rate Carryover, the Pass-Through Rate in respect of each Class 1-A Certificate, Class 2-A Certificate and Class M Certificate will be subject to a cap equal to the Strip REMIC Cap rather than its applicable Net Rate Cap.

(2)

For federal income tax purposes, the Class C Certificates will be treated as having a Certificate Principal Balance equal to the Overcollateralized Amount.

 

(3)

For each Interest Accrual Period the Class C Certificates are entitled to an amount (the “Class C Distributable Amount”) equal to the sum of (a) the interest payable on the STR-C-Swap-IO Interest, (b) the interest payable on the STR-C-OC Interest, (c) the interest payable on the STR-C-40 Year IO Interest and (d) a specified portion of the interest payable on the Strip REMIC Regular Interests (other than the STR-$100, STR-C-OC, STR-C-Swap-IO, STR-C-40 Year IO and STR-P Interests) equal to the excess of the Strip REMIC Cap over the weighted average interest rate of the Strip REMIC Regular Interests (other than the STR-$100, STR-C-OC, STR-C-Swap-IO, STR-C-40 Year IO and STR-P Interests) with each such Class subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate of the Corresponding Master REMIC Class.  The Pass-Through Rate of the Class C Certificates shall be a rate sufficient to entitle it to an amount equal to all interest accrued on the Mortgage Loans less the interest accrued on the other interests issued by the Master REMIC.  The Class C Distributable Amount for any Distribution Date is payable from current interest on the Mortgage Loans and any related Overcollateralization Reduction Amount for that Distribution Date.

(4)

For each Distribution Date the Class P Certificates are entitled to all Prepayment Charges distributed with respect to the STR-P Interest.

 

(5)

The Class A-R Certificates represent the sole class of residual interest in each REMIC created hereunder.  The Class A-R Certificates are not entitled to distributions of interest.

 

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Master REMIC as cash flow on REMIC regular interests, without creating any shortfall—actual or potential (other than for credit losses)— to any REMIC regular interest. It is not intended that the Class A-R Certificates be entitled to any cash flows pursuant to this Agreement except as provided in Section 3.08(a) hereunder.
