(a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to Party B the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by Party A under each Transaction when and as Party A’s obligations thereunder shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. In case of the failure of Party A to pay punctually any such amounts, Guarantor hereby agrees, upon written demand by Party B, to pay or cause to be paid any such amounts punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable.

(b) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee constitute a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection.

(c) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Agreement against Party A (other than as a result of the unenforceability thereof against Party B), the absence of any action to enforce Party A’s obligations under the Agreement, any waiver or consent by Party B with respect to any provisions thereof, the entry by Party A and Party B into additional Transactions under the Agreement or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (excluding the defense of payment or statute of limitations, neither of which is waived) provided, however, that Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any right that Party A could have exercised under the Agreement to cure any default in respect of its obligations under the Agreement or to setoff, counterclaim or withhold payment in respect of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default in respect of Party B or any Affiliate, but only to the extent such right is provided to Party A under the Agreement. The Guarantor acknowledges that Party A and Party B may from time to time enter into one or more Transactions pursuant to the Agreement and agrees that the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee will upon the execution of any such Transaction by Party A and Party B extend to all such Transactions without the taking of further action by the Guarantor.

(d) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Party B shall receive written notice of termination. Termination of this Guarantee shall not affect Guarantor’s liability hereunder as to obligations incurred or arising out of Transactions entered into prior to the termination hereof.

(e) Guarantor further agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligation or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Party B upon an Event of Default as set forth in Section 5(a)(vii) of the Master Agreement affecting Party A or Guarantor.

(f) Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, order and, except as set forth in paragraph (a) hereof, notice of any kind in connection with the Agreement and this Guarantee, or (ii) any requirement that Party B exhaust any right to take any action against Party A or any other person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding to exercise any right against Guarantor under this Guarantee.

This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to choice of law doctrine. All capitalized terms not defined in this Guarantee, but defined in the Agreement, shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be executed in its corporate name by its duly authorized officer as of the date of the Agreement.

Re:	CWABS Asset-Backed Certificates Trust 2006-BC2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-BC2

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for CWALT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Depositor”), in connection with the issuance of the CWALT, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the above-referenced Series (the “Certificates”). The Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2006 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) among the Depositor, as depositor, Countrywide Home Loans Inc. (“CHL”), as a seller, Park Granada LLC, as a seller, Park Monaco Inc., as a seller, Park Sienna LLC, as a seller, Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as master servicer, The Bank of New York (“BNY”), as trustee, and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as co-trustee. The assets of the Trust Fund will consist primarily of a pool of conventional, credit-blemished mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four-family residential properties.

In connection with the issuance of the Certificates, we have also acted as special counsel to the Depositor in connection with the execution and delivery of the following documents relating to the Certificates: (i) the Swap Contract Administration Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2006 (the “Swap Contract Administration Agreement”), between BNY, in its capacity as swap contract administrator (in such capacity, the “Swap Contract Administrator”) and in its capacity as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and CHL, (ii) a confirmation with a reference number of [ ] and a trade date of April [ ], 2006 (the “Confirmation”) between CHL and Xxxxxx Brothers Special Financing Inc. (the “Swap Counterparty”), (iii) the ISDA Master Agreement, Schedule and Credit Support Annex dated as of May 31, 2006 (collectively, the “Master Agreement”), between the Swap Counterparty and the Swap Contract Administrator and (iv) the Swap Contract Assignment Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2006 (the “Swap Contract Assignment Agreement”), between CHL, the Swap Counterparty and the Swap Contract Administrator. The Master Agreement and the transaction evidenced by the Confirmation, taken together with the applicable provisions of the Swap Contract Assignment Agreement, are referred to herein collectively as the “Swap Agreement”.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have examined and relied on originals or copies of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Swap Contract Administration Agreement, the Swap Contract Assignment Agreement, the Master Agreement and the Confirmation (collectively, the “Agreements”). In addition, we have made such investigations of law as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinion expressed below.

Based upon the foregoing, and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Swap Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Swap Contract Administrator, enforceable against the Swap Contract Administrator in accordance with its terms.

The opinion set forth above is subject to certain qualifications, assumptions and exceptions as set out below.

In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed, without any independent investigation or verification, the following: (a) the authenticity of original documents, the legal capacity of all individuals and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies; (c) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties made in conference or contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; (d) the due organization of the parties to the Agreements and the power and authority of the parties to the Agreements to enter into and perform all of their obligations thereunder; (e) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreements on behalf of the respective parties thereto; (f) except as expressly covered in the opinion set forth above, the legal, valid, and binding effect of the Agreements and the enforceability thereof (in accordance with their terms) against the respective parties thereto; (g) that the parties have complied and will comply with all material provisions of the Agreements; (h) the absence of any evidence extrinsic to the provisions of the written agreements between the parties that the parties intended a meaning contrary to that expressed by those provisions; (i) the absence of any agreement or understanding among the parties other than those contained in the Agreements (or referred to therein or incidental thereto); (j) that the terms and provisions of the Agreements do not, and the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by any party thereto does not and will not, violate the organizational documents of such party or any law, rule, regulation, order or decree of any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority or agency applicable to such party, or result in the breach of or a default under any contract or undertaking to which it is a party or by which it or its property is bound; and (k) that there is nothing in the laws or public policy of any relevant jurisdiction (other than the State of New York or the United States of America) that would affect the opinion set forth above.

Our opinion is qualified as to:

(i) limitations imposed by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar law of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ or secured creditors’ rights generally;

(ii) general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality and fair dealing, the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, and other similar doctrines affecting the enforceability of agreements generally (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

(iii) rights to indemnification or contribution which may be limited by applicable law or equitable principles or otherwise unenforceable as against public policy,

(iv) the effect of any other limitations imposed by public policy, although (except as noted in sub-paragraph (iii) above and sub-paragraphs (v) through (viii) below) we are not aware of any limitation that would be relevant to such enforcement;

(v) the effect of any requirement conditioning enforcement on the party seeking enforcement having acted in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith in performing its obligations and exercising its rights and remedies thereunder;

(vi) the discretion of a court to invalidate or decline to enforce any right, remedy or provision of the Swap Agreement, determined by it, in any such case, to be a penalty;

(vii) the unenforceability of any provision requiring the payment of attorney’s fees, except to the extent that a court determines such fees to be reasonable; and

(viii) the effect of any requirement that a claim (or a foreign currency judgment in respect of such claim) be converted into United States dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law.

Without in any way limiting the effect of sub-paragraph (viii) above, we note that a judgment for money in an action in a federal or state court in the United States ordinarily would be enforced in the United States only in United States dollars. The date used to determine the rate of conversion of a foreign currency into United States dollars will depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment. By way of example, under Section 27 of the New York Judiciary Law, a state court in the State of New York rendering a judgment on an obligation required to be paid in a foreign currency will be required to render such judgment in such foreign currency, and such judgment would be converted into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment.

Certain of the remedial provisions of the Swap Agreement may be limited or rendered ineffective or unenforceable in whole or in part, but the inclusion of such provisions does not make the remedies provided by such Agreement inadequate for the practical realization of the respective rights and benefits purported to be provided thereby (except for the economic consequences of procedural or other delay, as to which we express no opinion).

We express no opinion:

(a) as to any provision in the Swap Agreement to the extent that such provision refers to, or incorporates by reference, the provisions of any agreement other than the Swap Agreement;

(b) regarding any severability provision;

(c) with respect to the creation, perfection or priority of any security interest or as to the effect thereof or the rights and remedies or obligations of any party to the Swap Agreement in respect thereof;

(d) as to the effect of: (i) the compliance or non-compliance of Xxxxxx Brothers Special Financing Inc. with any United States state or federal laws or regulations or any other laws or regulations applicable to Xxxxxx Brothers Special Financing Inc., including limitations or restrictions that apply to financial institutions; or (ii) the failure of Xxxxxx Brothers Special Financing Inc. to be duly authorized to conduct business in any jurisdiction;

(e) with respect to any federal or state securities, “blue sky” or other similar laws;

(f) as to the enforceability of any rights to specific performance provided for in the Swap Agreement; or

(g) as to whether a federal court of the United States of America or a state court outside the State of New York would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in the Swap Agreement.

Our opinion herein, as it pertains to the enforceability of provisions contained in the Swap Agreement pursuant to which the parties thereto agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the United States federal courts referred to herein, is subject to the power of such courts to transfer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or proceedings on the ground that such a federal court is an inconvenient forum for such an action or proceeding and we note that such issues may be raised by the court sua sponte. In addition, we express no opinion as to the subject matter jurisdiction of any United States federal court to adjudicate any action relating to the Agreements where jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship under 27 U.S.C. § 1332 does not exist.

As noted above, the conclusions set forth herein are subject to the accuracy of the factual assumptions described above and the absence of additional facts that would materially affect the validity of the assumptions set forth herein. Our conclusions as to any legal matters in this letter speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this letter should such factual matters change or should such laws or regulations be changed by legislative or regulatory action, judicial decision or otherwise, and we hereby express no opinion as to the effect any such changes may have on the foregoing opinion. We do not express any opinion, either implicitly or otherwise, on any issue not expressly addressed in the third paragraph of this letter.

To the extent our opinion herein pertains to the enforceability of Part 4(h) of the Schedule to the Master Agreement pursuant to which the Trust and the Swap Counterparty have agreed that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the Agreement, we have relied on Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, which states in pertinent part: “The parties to any contract, agreement or undertaking, contingent or otherwise, in consideration of, or relating to any obligation arising out of a transaction covering in the aggregate not less than two hundred fifty thousand dollars . . . may agree that the law of this state shall govern their rights and duties in whole or in part, whether or not such contract, agreement or undertaking bears a reasonable relation to this state.”

We express no opinion as to matters of law other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States of America. In rendering the foregoing opinion we have assumed that enforcement of the Swap Agreement in accordance with New York law would not violate any provision of any law of any jurisdiction (other than the State of New York) or any public policy of any jurisdiction that bears a reasonable relation to the Agreements or the transaction in which the Swap Agreement is being executed and delivered by the parties thereto.

The opinion expressed herein is solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreements and may not be relied on in any manner or for any purpose by any other individual, partnership, corporation or other governmental or non-governmental entity (each a “Person”), nor may any copies thereof be published, communicated, filed with or otherwise made available in whole or in part to any other Person without our specific prior written consent. By accepting this letter, each Person to whom this letter is addressed (other than the Depositor) recognizes and acknowledges that (i) no attorney-client relationship exists or has existed between the lawyers in our firm representing the Depositor and such Person in connection with the execution of the Agreements or by virtue of this letter, (ii) in order to permit reliance by such Person on this letter, the lawyers in our firm representing the Depositor conducted no activities in addition to those undertaken or conducted for the purpose of rendering this letter to the Depositor as one of the addressees hereof and (iii) this letter may not be appropriate or sufficient for such Person’s purposes.

Very truly yours,

Attention: Corporate Trust Administration MBS Administration,

CWABS, Series 2006-BC2

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to Xxxxxx Brothers Special Financing Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Party A”) and Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), and am familiar with matters pertaining to the execution and delivery of the Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) dated as of May 30, 2006 between Party A and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, not in its individual or corporate capacity but solely as Swap Contract Administrator for CWABS Asset-Backed Certificates Trust 2006-BC2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-BC2, pursuant to a Swap Contract Administration Agreement and the guarantee of Guarantor (the “Guarantee”) delivered in connection with the Master Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, I have examined, or have had examined on my behalf, an executed copy of the Master Agreement and the Guarantee, certificates and statements of public officials and officers of Party A and Guarantor and such other agreements, instruments, documents and records as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

Except as expressly set forth herein, no independent investigation (including, without limitation, conducting any review, search or investigation of any public files, records or dockets) has been undertaken to determine the existence or absence of the facts that are material to my opinions, and no inference as to my knowledge concerning such facts should be made.

When used herein the phrase “to my knowledge” means to my actual knowledge without independent investigation.

References in this letter to “Applicable Laws” are to those laws, rules and regulations of the State of New York which, in my experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Master Agreement and the Guarantee. References in this letter to “Governmental Authorities” are to executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory bodies of the State of New York. References in this letter to “Governmental Approval” are to any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority pursuant to Applicable Laws.

Based on the foregoing but subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations hereinafter expressed, I am of the opinion that:

(i)	Each of Party A and Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(ii)

The execution, delivery and performance of the Master Agreement in the case of Party A, and the Guarantee, in the case of Guarantor, are within its corporate power, have been duly authorized by all corporate action and do not conflict with any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws.

(iii) The Master Agreement, in the case of Party A, and the Guarantee, in the case of Guarantor, have been duly executed and delivered and each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its respective terms.

(iv) To the best of my knowledge, no Governmental Approval is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Master Agreement in the case of Party A, or the Guarantee, in the case of Guarantor, except those that have been obtained and, to my knowledge, are in effect.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

A. My opinion in paragraph 3 above is subject to: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent or other similar transfers or conveyances); (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; (iii) laws and considerations of public policy that may limit the enforceability of provisions (a) regarding indemnification and contribution rights and obligations, (b) regarding the waiver or limitation of rights to trial by jury, oral amendments to written agreements or rights of setoff, (c) relating to submission to jurisdiction, venue or service of process, and (d) purporting to prohibit or restrict, or require the consent of the “account debtor” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “NYUCC” )) for, the creation, perfection or enforcement of a security interest in “accounts” or “general intangibles” (in each case, as defined in Section 9-102 of the NYUCC).

B. I am a member of the Bar of the State of New York and render no opinion on the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Except as described, I have not examined, or had examined on my behalf, and I do not express any opinion with respect to, Delaware law.

C. My opinions are limited to the present laws and to the facts as they presently exist, and no opinion is to be inferred or implied beyond the matters expressly so stated. I assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should the present laws of the jurisdictions referred to in paragraph B above be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

D. This letter is rendered solely to you solely for your benefit in connection with the Master Agreement and the Guarantee and the transactions related thereto and may not be relied upon by any other person, entity or agency or by you in any other context or for any other purpose. This letter may not be circulated, used or quoted in whole or in part, nor may copies thereof be furnished or delivered to any other person, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings Inc., except that you may furnish copies hereof (i) to your independent auditors and attorneys, (ii) to any United States, state or local authority having jurisdiction over you or over Party A or Guarantor, (iii) pursuant to the order of any legal process of any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental agency, and (iv) in connection with any legal action arising out of the Master Agreement or the Guarantee.

E. I have assumed with your permission (i) the genuineness of all signatures by each party other than Party A or Guarantor, (ii) the authenticity of documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies, (iii) the accuracy of the matters set forth in the documents, agreements and instruments I reviewed, (iv) that each party other than Party A and Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (v) the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Master Agreement by each party other than Party A, and (vi) that the Master Agreement is the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each party other than Party A, enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms.

F. My opinion in paragraph 3 is subject to the qualification that certain provisions contained in the Agreement and the Guarantee may not be enforceable, but such unenforceability will not render the Agreement or the Guarantee invalid as a whole or substantially interfere with the practical realization of the principal benefits provided thereby.

The foregoing opinions are given on the express understanding that the undersigned is an officer of Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. and shall in no event incur any personal liability in connection with said opinions.

Very truly yours,
