location of the Swap Administration Account prior to any change thereof.
4. Calculations; Distribution of Payments; Delivery of Notices.
The Swap Contract Administrator hereby agrees to make payments based
on the information provided by the Trustee and the Counterparty, and the Swap
Contract Administrator shall, absent manifest error, be entitled to rely on

On the Business Day of receipt of any payment from the Counterparty,

the Swap Administration Account and distribute such amounts sequentially, as
follows:

REF: CWABS 2006-24 X'S SwapPyt

without limitation information regarding any Net Swap Payment or Swap
Termination Payment that will be payable by the Swap Contract Administrator to
the Counterparty with respect to the next Distribution Date.
5. Control Rights; Delivery Amounts; Replacement Swap Contract.
The Trustee shall have the right to direct the Swap Contract
Administrator with respect to the exercise of any right under the Swap
Contract and the ISDA Master Agreement (such as the right to designate an
Early Termination Date following an Event of Default or Termination Event
(each such term as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement)).
4
If the obligations of the Counterparty are, or shall become,
guaranteed pursuant to the guarantee of any party (whether an affiliate of the
Counterparty or otherwise), then the Swap Contract Administrator shall
promptly demand in accordance with the terms of the guarantee from such
guarantor all amounts payable or deliverable by the Counterparty under the
ISDA Master Agreement in the event that the Counterparty fails to make timely
payment or delivery of such amounts.
Upon the Swap Contract Administrator or the Trustee obtaining actual
knowledge of the rating of the Counterparty falling below the Approved Ratings
Threshold or the Required Ratings Threshold (as defined in the ISDA Master
Agreement), the Swap Contract Administrator, at the direction of the Trustee,
shall demand payment of the Delivery Amount from the Counterparty, (as defined
in the ISDA Master Agreement) on each Valuation Date (as defined in the ISDA
Master Agreement) and perform its other obligations in accordance with the
ISDA Master Agreement or (ii) take such other action required under the ISDA
Master Agreement. If a Delivery Amount is demanded, the Swap Contract
Administrator shall establish an account to hold cash or other eligible
investments pledged under the ISDA Master Agreement. Any such account shall be
an "Eligible Account" as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any
cash or other Eligible Collateral (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement)
pledged under the ISDA Master Agreement shall not be part of the Swap
Administration Account unless they are applied in accordance with the ISDA
Master Agreement to make a payment due to the Swap Contract Administrator
pursuant to the Swap Contract.
In the event that the Swap Contract is terminated, CHL shall assist
the Swap Contract Administrator in procuring a replacement swap contract with
terms approximating those of the original Swap Contract, and the Swap Contract
Administrator shall enter into a replacement swap contract procured by CHL or
the Counterparty and continue to serve as Swap Contract Administrator pursuant
to the terms hereof. Any Swap Termination Payment received from the
Counterparty shall be used to pay any upfront amount required under any
replacement swap contract, and any excess shall be distributed to CHL. In the
event that a replacement swap contract cannot be procured, any Swap
Termination Payment received from the Counterparty in respect of the
termination of the original Swap Contract shall be held in the Swap
Administration Account and distributed as provided in Section 4.
In the event that a replacement swap is procured and the replacement
counterparty pays an upfront amount to the Swap Contract Administrator in
connection with the execution of the replacement swap contract, then (i) if
that upfront amount is not received prior to the Distribution Date on which
any Swap Termination Payment was due to the Counterparty under the original
Swap Contract, that upfront amount shall be held in the Swap Administration
Account and distributed as provided in Section 4, and (ii) if that upfront
amount is received prior to the Distribution Date on which any Swap
Termination Payment is due to the Counterparty under the original Swap
Contract, the Swap Contract Administrator shall remit to the Trustee, to be
included in Interest Funds for Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 2, the portion of
such upfront amount equal to the lesser of (x) such upfront amount and (y) the
amount of the Swap Termination Payment due to the Counterparty under the
original Swap Contract, to be allocated between Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 2
pro rata based on their respective Interest Funds for that Distribution Date.
Any upfront amount paid by a replacement counterparty that is not
5
remitted by the Swap Contract Administrator to the Trustee pursuant to clause
(ii) of the preceding sentence shall be distributed to CHL.
6. Monitoring of Significance Percentage. With respect to
each Distribution Date, the Swap Contract Administrator shall calculate the
"significance percentage" (as defined in Item 1115 of Subpart 229.1100 - Asset
Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. xx.xx. 229.1100-229.1123) of the
Swap Contract based on the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Benefited Certificates for such Distribution Date (after all distributions to
be made thereon on such Distribution Date) and based on the methodology
provided in writing by or on behalf of CHL no later than the fifth Business
Day preceding such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the Swap
Contract Administrator shall provide to CHL a written report (which written
report may include similar information with respect to other derivative
instruments relating to securitization transactions sponsored by CHL)
specifying the "significance percentage" of the Swap Contract for that
Distribution Date. If the "significance percentage" of the Swap Contract
exceeds 7.0% with respect to any Distribution Date, the Swap Contract
Administrator shall make a separate notation thereof in the written report
described in the preceding sentence. Such written report may contain such
assumptions and disclaimers as are deemed necessary and appropriate by the
Swap Contract Administrator.
