POOLING AND
SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of August 1, 2006, 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"), and THE
BANK OF NEW
YORK, a New York banking corporation, 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. The Trust
Fund
(excluding the Credit Comeback Excess Account, the Carryover
Reserve Fund and
the assets held in the Pre-Funding Account) 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 Credit Comeback Excess Account, the
Carryover
Reserve Fund and the assets held in the Pre-Funding Account). 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

The Swap-IO REMIC Interests will have the principal balances

this purpose,
beginning on the Distribution Date in September 2016 and
ending on 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) Prior to the 67th
Distribution Date, a rate equal to the lesser of (i)
10.700% per annum and (ii) twice the Pool Tax Cap. On and after the
67th
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 Class 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 September 2016 and ending on the
Distribution in August 2036 (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 Class 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

(1) This Strip REMIC Interest has a principal balance that is
initially equal
to 100% of its Corresponding Certificate Class issued by the Master
REMIC.
Principal payments, both scheduled and prepaid, Realized Losses and
Subsequent
Recoveries attributable to the Swap-IO REMIC Interests held by the
Strip REMIC
will be allocated to this class to maintain its size relative to
its
Corresponding Certificate Class.
(2) On each Distribution Date, the pass-through rate for this Strip
REMIC
Interest is the "Strip REMIC Cap," which will equal the weighted
average of
the pass-through rates of the Swap-IO REMIC Interests (other than
the Class
SWR-P and Class SWR-A-R Interests) treating each "B" Interest the
cardinal
number of which (for example, SW-1B, SW-2B, SW-3B, etc.) is not
less than the
ordinal number of the Distribution Date (first Distribution Date,
second
Distribution Date, third Distribution Date, etc.) as capped at a
rate equal to
the product of (i) 2 and (ii) LIBOR.
(3) This Strip REMIC Interest pays no interest.
(4) This Strip REMIC Interest has a principal balance that is
initially equal
to 100% of the Overcollateralized Amount. Principal payments, both
scheduled
and prepaid, Realized Losses and Subsequent Recoveries attributable
to the

(5) For each Distribution Date, the STR-C-Swap-IO Interest is
entitled to
receive from each Swap REMIC "B" Interest the cardinal number of
which (for
example, SW-1B, SW-2B, SW-3B, etc.) is not less than the ordinal
number of the
Distribution Date (first Distribution Date, second Distribution
Date, third
Distribution Date, etc. ) the interest accruing on such interest in
excess of
a per annum rate equal to the product of (i) 2 and (ii) LIBOR.
(6) The STR-C-40 Year IO is entitled to all amounts payable with
respect to
the SWR-40 Year Reserve Interest.
(7) The STR-P Interest is entitled to all amounts payable with

(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, Class M Certificate and Class
B
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 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
8
<PAGE>
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.

Proceeds
received prior to such date and to the payment of principal due on

Mortgagor, and (ii) as of any other Distribution Date, the Stated
Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan as of its Cut-off Date, minus the sum
of (a) the
principal portion of the Scheduled Payments (x) due with respect to
such
Mortgage Loan during each Due Period ending prior to such
Distribution Date
and (y) that were received by the Master Servicer as of the close

endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note), or, if the original
Mortgage Note has been lost or destroyed and not replaced, an
original lost note affidavit, stating that the original
Mortgage

Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as trustee
under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2006,
without recourse" or a copy of such assignment, with recording

such
original title policy has not been received from the insurer,
such
original or duplicate original lender's title policy and all
riders thereto shall be delivered within one year of the
Closing
Date.
In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS
Mortgage Loan, each Seller agrees that it will cause, at such
Seller's own
expense, the MERS(R) System to indicate (and provide evidence to
the Trustee
that it has done so) that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by
such
Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the
benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of
Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such
computer
files (a) the code "[IDENTIFY TRUSTEE SPECIFIC CODE]" in the field
"[IDENTIFY
THE FIELD NAME FOR TRUSTEE]" which identifies the Trustee and (b)
the code
"[IDENTIFY SERIES SPECIFIC CODE NUMBER]" in the field "Pool Field"
which
identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with
such
Mortgage Loans. The Sellers further agree that they will not, and
will not
permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that
it will
not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to
any Mortgage
Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such
Mortgage Loan is
repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is
not
a MERS Mortgage Loan a Seller cannot deliver the original recorded
Mortgage or
all interim recorded assignments of the Mortgage satisfying the
requirements
of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) concurrently with the execution and
delivery
hereof, such Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee a
true copy of such Mortgage and of each such undelivered interim
assignment of
the Mortgage each certified by such Seller, the applicable title
company,
escrow agent or attorney, or the originator of such Mortgage, as
the case may
be, to be a true and complete copy of the original Mortgage or
assignment of
Mortgage submitted for recording. For any such Mortgage Loan that
is not a
MERS Mortgage Loan each Seller shall promptly deliver or cause to
be delivered
to the Trustee such original Mortgage and such assignment or
assignments with
evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from
the public
recording official, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate,
by the
relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such delivery
be made
later than 270 days following the Closing Date; provided that in
the event
that by such date such Seller is unable to deliver or cause to be
delivered
each such Mortgage and each interim assignment by reason of the
fact that any
such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, or,
in the case of each interim assignment, because the related
Mortgage has not
been returned by the appropriate recording office, such
59
<PAGE>
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered such documents to the
Trustee as
promptly as possible upon receipt thereof. If the public recording
office in
which a Mortgage or interim assignment thereof is recorded retains
the
original of such Mortgage or assignment, a copy of the original
Mortgage or
assignment so retained, with evidence of recording thereon,
certified to be
true and complete by such recording office, shall satisfy a
Seller's
obligations in Section 2.01. If any document submitted for
recording pursuant
to this Agreement is (x) lost prior to recording or rejected by the
applicable
recording office, the applicable Seller shall immediately prepare
or cause to
be prepared a substitute and submit it for recording, and shall
deliver copies
and originals thereof in accordance with the foregoing or (y) lost
after
recording, the applicable Seller shall deliver to the Trustee a
copy of such
document certified by the applicable public recording office to be
a true and
complete copy of the original recorded document. Each Seller shall
promptly
forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (x) from time to
time
additional original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of a
Mortgage Loan and (y) any other documents required to be delivered
by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer to the Trustee within the time
periods
specified in this Section 2.01.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a MERS Mortgage
Loan
as to which the related Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File are
located in
any jurisdiction under the laws of which the recordation of the
assignment
specified in clause (iii) above is not necessary to protect the
Trustee's and
the Certificateholders' interest in the related Mortgage Loan, as
evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel delivered by CHL to the Trustee within 90
days of the
Closing Date (which opinion may be in the form of a "survey"
opinion and is
not required to be delivered by counsel admitted to practice law in
the
jurisdiction as to which such opinion applies), in lieu of
recording the
assignment specified in clause (iii) above, the applicable Seller
may deliver
an unrecorded assignment in blank, in form otherwise suitable for
recording to
the Trustee; provided that if the related Mortgage has not been
returned from
the applicable public recording office, such assignment, or any
copy thereof,
of the Mortgage may exclude the information to be provided by the
recording
office. As to any Mortgage Loan other than a MERS Mortgage Loan,
the
procedures of the preceding sentence shall be applicable only so
long as the
related Mortgage File is maintained in the possession of the
Trustee in the
State or jurisdiction described in such sentence. In the event that
with
respect to Mortgage Loans other than MERS Mortgage Loans (I) any
Seller, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the NIM Insurer gives written
notice to the
Trustee that recording is required to protect the right, title and
interest of
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders in and to any
Mortgage Loan,
(II) a court recharacterizes any sale of the Mortgage Loans as a
financing, or
(III) as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws of the
State or
jurisdiction described in the first sentence of this paragraph or
any
applicable political subdivision thereof, or any change in official
position
regarding application or interpretation of such laws, including a
holding by a
court of competent jurisdiction, such recording is so required, the
Trustee
shall complete the assignment in the manner specified in clause
(iii) above
and CHL shall submit or cause to be submitted for recording as
specified above
or, should CHL fail to perform such obligations, the Trustee shall
cause the
Master Servicer, at the Master Servicer's expense, to cause each
such
previously unrecorded assignment to be submitted for recording as
specified
above. In the event a Mortgage File is released to the Master
Servicer as a
result of the Master Servicer's having completed a Request for
Document
Release, the Trustee shall complete the assignment of the related
Mortgage in
the manner specified in clause (iii) above.
60
<PAGE>
So long as the Trustee or its agent maintains an office in the
State of California, the Trustee or its agent shall maintain
possession of and
not remove or attempt to remove from the State of California any of
the
Mortgage Files as to which the related Mortgaged Property is
located in such
State. In the event that a Seller fails to record an assignment of
a Mortgage
Loan as herein provided within 90 days of notice of an event set
forth in
clause (I), (II) or (III) of the preceding paragraph, the Master
Servicer
shall prepare and, if required hereunder, file such assignments
for
recordation in the appropriate real property or other records
office. Each
Seller hereby appoints the Master Servicer (and any successor
servicer
hereunder) as its attorney-in-fact with full power and authority
acting in its
stead for the purpose of such preparation, execution and
filing.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that become the subject of a
Principal Prepayment between the Closing Date (in the case of
Initial Mortgage
Loans) or related Subsequent Transfer Date (in the case of
Subsequent Mortgage
Loans) and the Cut-off Date, CHL shall deposit or cause to be
deposited in the
Certificate Account the amount required to be deposited therein
with respect
to such payment pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
within
thirty days after the Closing Date (in the case of Initial Mortgage
Loans) or
within twenty days after the related Subsequent Transfer Date (in
the case of
Subsequent Mortgage Loans), CHL (on behalf of each Seller) shall
either (i)
deliver to the Trustee the Mortgage File as required pursuant to
this Section
2.01 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) repurchase
the Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) substitute the Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan for
a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which repurchase or substitution shall
be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth
in Section
2.03, provided that if CHL fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any
Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan within the period provided in the prior
sentence, the
cure period provided for in Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall
not apply to
the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery
Mortgage
Loan, but rather CHL shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such
failure to
deliver. CHL shall promptly provide each Rating Agency with written
notice of
any cure, repurchase or substitution made pursuant to the proviso
of the
preceding sentence. On or before the thirtieth (30th) day (or if
such
thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the succeeding Business Day)
after the
Closing Date (in the case of Initial Mortgage Loans) or within
twenty days
after the related Subsequent Transfer Date (in the case of
Subsequent Mortgage
Loans), the Trustee shall, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.02,
send a Delay Delivery Certification substantially in the form
annexed hereto
as Exhibit G-3 (with any applicable exceptions noted thereon) for
all Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered within thirty (30) days after
such date. The
Trustee will promptly send a copy of such Delay Delivery
Certification to each
Rating Agency.
Each Seller has entered into this Agreement in consideration
for
the purchase of the Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller to the
Depositor and
has agreed to take the actions specified herein. The Depositor,
concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby sells,
transfers,
assigns and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the use and
benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all right, title and interest
in the
portion of the Trust Fund not otherwise conveyed to the Trustee
pursuant to
Sections 2.01(a) or (b).

Section
2.02 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Trustee acknowledges receipt, subject to the
limitations
contained in and any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification
in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit G-1 and in the list of exceptions
attached thereto,
of the documents referred to in clauses (i) and (iii) of Section
2.01(g) above
with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans and all other assets

the Trust Fund and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the
other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files,
and that it
holds or will hold such other assets included in the Trust Fund, in
trust for
the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date
to
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and CHL (on behalf of each
Seller) an
Initial Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit G-1
to the effect that, as to each Initial Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage
Loan Schedule (other than any Initial Mortgage Loan paid in full or
any
Initial Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification
as not
covered by such certification), the documents described in Section
2.01(g)(i)
and, in the case of each Initial Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS
Mortgage
Loan, the documents described in Section 2.01(g)(iii) with respect
to such
Initial Mortgage Loans as are in the Trustee's possession and based
on its
review and examination and only as to the foregoing documents, such
documents
appear regular on their face and relate to such Initial Mortgage
Loan. The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver within 30 days after the
Closing Date to
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and CHL (on behalf of each
Seller) an
Interim Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit G-2
to the effect that, as to each Initial Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage
Loan Schedule (other than any Initial Mortgage Loan paid in full or
any
Initial Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification
as not
covered by such certification) all documents required to be
delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to the Agreement with respect to such Initial
Mortgage Loans
are in its possession (except those documents described in
Section
2.01(g)(vi)) and based on its review and examination and only as to
the
foregoing documents, (i) such documents appear regular on their
face and
relate to such Initial Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the information set
forth in
items (i), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (ix) and (xv) of the definition
of the
"Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth
in the
Mortgage File. On or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the
Closing Date
(or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the succeeding
Business Day),
the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
CHL (on
behalf of each Seller) a Delay Delivery Certification with respect
to the
Initial Mortgage Loans substantially in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit
G-3, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. The Trustee
shall be under
no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine such
documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the
same are
genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they
are other
than what they purport to be on their face.
Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall
deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, CHL (on behalf of
each Seller)
and any Certificateholder that so requests, a Final Certification
with respect
to the Initial Mortgage Loans substantially in the form annexed
hereto as

62
<PAGE>
In connection with the Trustee's completion and delivery of
such
Final Certification, the Trustee shall review each Mortgage File
with respect
to the Initial Mortgage Loans to determine that such Mortgage File
contains
the following documents:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or
facsimile signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the
order of ________________ without recourse", with all
intervening
endorsements that show a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each such
endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note), or, if the original
Mortgage Note has been lost or destroyed and not replaced, an
original lost note affidavit, stating that the original
Mortgage
Note was lost or
destroyed, together with a copy of the related
Mortgage Note and all such intervening endorsements;
(ii) in the case of each Initial Mortgage Loan that is
not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage or a
copy
of such Mortgage, with recording information, and in the case
of
each Initial Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the
original Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage, with recording
information, noting the presence of the MIN of the Initial
Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is
a
MOM Loan if the Initial Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with
evidence
of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of the Mortgage
certified by the public recording office in which Mortgage has
been recorded;
(iii) in the case of each Initial Mortgage Loan that
is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, a duly executed assignment of the
Mortgage or a copy thereof with recording information, in
either
case in the form permitted by Section 2.01;
(iv) the original recorded assignment or assignments
of the Mortgage or a copy of such assignments, with recording
information, together with all interim recorded assignments of
such Mortgage or a copy of such assignments, with recording
information (in each case noting the presence of a MIN in the
case
of each MERS Mortgage Loan);
(v) the original or copies of each assumption,
modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if
any;
and
(vi) the original or duplicate original lender's title
policy or a copy of lender's title policy or a printout of the
electronic equivalent and all riders thereto.
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any
document
or documents constituting a part of such Mortgage File that do not
meet the
requirements of clauses (i)-(iv) and (vi) above, the Trustee shall
include
such exceptions in such Final Certification (and the Trustee shall
state in
such Final Certification whether any Mortgage File does not then
include the
original or duplicate original lender's title policy or a printout
of the
electronic equivalent and all riders thereto). If the public
recording office
in which a Mortgage or assignment thereof is
63
<PAGE>
recorded retains the original of such Mortgage or assignment, a
copy of the
original Mortgage or assignment so retained, with evidence of
recording
thereon, certified to be true and complete by such recording
office, shall be
deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv)
above, as
applicable. CHL shall promptly correct or cure such defect referred
to above
within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and,
if CHL
does not correct or cure such defect within such period, CHL shall
either (A)
if the time to cure such defect expires prior to the end of the
second
anniversary of the Closing Date, substitute for the related Initial
Mortgage
Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in
the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03,
or (B)
purchase such Initial Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund within 90
days from
the date CHL was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase
Price of
such Initial Mortgage Loan; provided that any such substitution
pursuant to
(A) above or repurchase pursuant to (B) above shall not be effected
prior to
the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 2.05
hereof and any substitution pursuant to (A) above shall not be
effected prior
to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for File
Release. No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date
for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Initial Mortgage
Loan shall be
deposited by CHL in the Certificate Account and, upon receipt of
such deposit
and Request for File Release with respect thereto, the Trustee
shall release
the related Mortgage File to CHL and shall execute and deliver at
CHL's
request such instruments of transfer or assignment as CHL has
prepared, in
each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in CHL,
or a
designee, the Trustee's interest in any Initial Mortgage Loan
released
pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions CHL
repurchases an
Initial Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall
cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable
form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to CHL and shall cause such
Mortgage
to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance
with MERS'
rules and regulations.
The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each
Mortgage
File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth
herein. Each Seller shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the
execution
or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or
instruments
constituting the Mortgage File that come into the possession of
such Seller
from time to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of CHL to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan that does not meet
the
requirements of Section 2.02(a) above shall constitute the sole
remedy
respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and
any
Certificateholder against any Seller.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of CHL to
substitute for or to purchase, pursuant to Section 2.02(a), any
Initial
Mortgage Loan whose Mortgage File contains any document or
documents that does
not meet the requirements of clauses (i)-(iv) and (vi) above and
which defect
is not corrected or cured by CHL within 90 days from the date it
was notified
of such defect, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
defect
available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder
against any
Seller.
(b) The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Subsequent
Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and CHL (on
behalf of each
Seller) an Initial
64
<PAGE>
Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
G-4 to the
effect that, as to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan
Schedule (other than any Subsequent Mortgage Loan paid in full or
any
Subsequent Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such
certification as not
covered by such certification), the documents described in Section
2.01(g)(i)
and, in the case of each Subsequent Mortgage Loan that is not a
MERS Mortgage
Loan, the documents described in Section 2.01(g)(iii), with respect
to such
Subsequent Mortgage Loan are in its possession, and based on its
review and
examination and only as to the foregoing documents, such documents
appear
regular on their face and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage
Loan.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver within 30 days after
the
Subsequent Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
CHL (on
behalf of each Seller) an Interim Certification substantially in
the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2 to the effect that, as to each
Subsequent
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any
Subsequent
Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Subsequent Mortgage Loan
specifically
identified in such certification as not covered by such

documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement
with
respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan are in its possession
(except those

regular on their
face and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the
information set
forth in items (i), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (ix) and (xv) of the
definition
of the "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set
forth in
the Mortgage File. On or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the
Subsequent
Transfer Date (or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the
succeeding
Business Day), the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer
and CHL (on behalf of each Seller) a Delay Delivery Certification
with respect
to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans substantially in the form annexed
hereto as
Exhibit G-3, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, together
with a
Subsequent Certification substantially in the form annexed hereto
as Exhibit
G-4. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect,
review or
examine such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers
to determine
that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the
represented
purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate
records or
that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
Not later than 180 days after the Subsequent Transfer Date, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, CHL
(on behalf of
each Seller) and to any Certificateholder that so requests a
Final
Certification with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans
substantially in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable

thereon.
In connection with the Trustee's completion and delivery of
such
Final Certification, the Trustee shall review each Mortgage File
with respect
to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans to determine that such Mortgage
File contains
the following documents:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile
signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the order of
________________ without recourse", with all intervening
endorsements that show a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each such
endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so
65
<PAGE>
endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that
Mortgage Note), or, if the original Mortgage Note has been lost
or
destroyed and not replaced, an original lost note affidavit,
stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost or destroyed,
together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note and all such
intervening endorsements;
(ii) in the case of each Subsequent Mortgage Loan that
is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage or
a
copy of such Mortgage, with recording information, and in the
case
of each Subsequent Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan,
the
original Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage, with recording
information, noting the presence of the MIN of the Subsequent
Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Subsequent
Mortgage
Loan is a MOM Loan if the Subsequent Mortgage Loan is a MOM
Loan,
with evidence of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of the
Mortgage
certified by the public recording office in which
Mortgage has been recorded;
(iii) in the case of each Subsequent Mortgage Loan
that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, a duly executed assignment of
the Mortgage or a copy thereof with recording information, in
either case in the form permitted by Section 2.01;
(iv) the original recorded assignment or assignments
of the Mortgage or a copy of such assignments, with recording

modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if
any;
and
(vi) the original or duplicate original lender's title

If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any
document
or documents constituting a part of such Mortgage File that do not
meet the
requirements of clauses (i)-(iv) and (vi) above, the Trustee shall
include
such exceptions in such Final Certification (and the Trustee shall
state in
such Final Certification whether any Mortgage File does not then
include the
original or duplicate original lender's title policy or a printout
of the
electronic equivalent and all riders thereto). If the public
recording office
in which a Mortgage or assignment thereof is recorded retains the
original of
such Mortgage or assignment, a copy of the original Mortgage or
assignment so
retained, with evidence of recording thereon, certified to be true
and
complete by such recording office, shall be deemed to satisfy the
requirements
of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, as applicable. CHL shall
promptly correct
or cure such defect referred to above within 90 days from the date
it was so
notified of such defect and, if CHL does not correct or cure such
defect
within such period, CHL shall either (A) if the time to cure such
defect
expires prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing
Date,
substitute for the related Subsequent Mortgage Loan a Replacement
Mortgage
Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (B) purchase such
Subsequent
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund within 90 days from the date CHL
was
notified of such
66
<PAGE>
defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Subsequent Mortgage
Loan;
provided that any such substitution pursuant to (A) above or
repurchase
pursuant to (B) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery
to the
Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof
and any
substitution pursuant to (A) above shall not be effected prior to
the
additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for File Release.
No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date
for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Subsequent Mortgage
Loan shall
be deposited by CHL in the Certificate Account and, upon receipt of
such
deposit and Request for File Release with respect thereto, the
Trustee shall
release the related Mortgage File to CHL and shall execute and
deliver at
CHL's request such instruments of transfer or assignment as CHL has
prepared,
in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
CHL, or a
designee, the Trustee's interest in any Subsequent Mortgage Loan
released
pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions CHL
repurchases a
Subsequent Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer
shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to CHL and shall
cause such
Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in
accordance
with MERS' rules and regulations.
The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each
Mortgage

extended
coverage
and coverage for such other hazards as are customary in the
area where
the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount that is at
least
equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a)
the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an
amount
such that
the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the
Mortgagor

premiums
due and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage
obligates
the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance,
including flood

Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the
Mortgagor.

with
a
generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage
not
less than
the least of (A) the original outstanding principal balance of
the
Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate
for
damage or
loss on a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount of
insurance
that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as
amended.

occurring,
pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation
of the
Mortgaged Property.

Mortgage
or the related Mortgage Note and, to the best of CHL's
knowledge,
there is no material event that, with the passage of time or
with
notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
