This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT,
dated as of October 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”), by and
among J.P. MORGAN ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION I, a Delaware corporation,
as depositor (the “Depositor”), U.S. BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and WELLS FARGO
BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its dual capacities as master
servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities
administrator (the “Securities Administrator”)
and acknowledged by J.P. MORGAN MORTGAGE ACQUISITION CORP., a
Delaware corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), for
purposes of Sections 2.04 and 2.05 and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as a
custodian and THE BANK OF NEW YORK TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, as a custodian (each a “Custodian”) for

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage
Loans from the Seller and at the Closing Date is the owner of the
Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed by the
Depositor to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund.
On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the
Certificates from the Trustee as consideration for the
Depositor’s transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans
and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. The
Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this
Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the
Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund.
All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee
herein, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property
constituting the Trust Fund, are for the benefit of the Holders
from time to time of the Certificates. The Depositor, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are
entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the
Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged.
As provided herein, the Trustee shall
elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Additional
Collateral, (ii) the Swap Agreement, (iii) the Swap Trust, (iv) any
payments with respect to Basis Risk or Net WAC Shortfall Carryover
Amounts, and (v) payments with respect to Class I Shortfalls
(collectively, the “Excluded Trust Property”) be
treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising four real
estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”
or, in the alternative, “Lower-Tier REMIC 1,”
“Lower-Tier REMIC 2,” “Middle-Tier REMIC
1,” and the “Upper-Tier” or “Master”
REMIC”). Each Certificate, other than the
Class A-R Certificate, shall represent ownership of one or
more regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R Certificate represents
ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier
REMIC. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several
classes of uncertificated Middle-Tier REMIC Interests in the
Middle-Tier REMIC 1 (other than the Class 1-MT-R Interest) and the
several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier REMIC Interests in
Lower-Tier REMIC 2 (other than the Class 2-LT-R Interest), the
Class 1-P Reserve
Fund, the Class 2-P Reserve Fund, and the Class A-R Reserve Fund.
Each Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Interest (other than the Class MT1-R
Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Middle-Tier
REMIC 1 (each, a “Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Interest”), and
each Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Interest (other than the Class 2-LT-R
Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier
REMIC 2 (each, a “Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular
Interest”). Middle-Tier REMIC 1 shall hold as assets
the several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier REMIC Interests in
Lower-Tier REMIC 1 (other than the Class 1-LT-R Interest.)
Lower-Tier REMIC 1 shall hold as assets all property of the
Trust Fund related to Pool 1 (other than any related Excluded Trust
Property). Each Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Interest (other than
the Class 1-LT-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular
interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 (each, a “Lower-Tier REMIC 1
Regular Interest”). Lower-Tier REMIC 2 shall hold as
assets all property of the Trust Fund related to Pool 2 (other than
any related Excluded Property). Each Lower-Tier REMIC 2
Interest (other than the Class 2-LT-R Interest) is hereby
designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2 (each, a
“Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interest”). The latest
possible maturity date of all REMIC regular interests created in
this Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity
Date.
Lower-Tier REMIC 1:
The following table sets forth the
designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each
interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1, each of which (other than the

Interests”):

The Class 1-LT-R interest shall not have
a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The Class
1-LT-R interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual
interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1.
(2)
For any Distribution
Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), the interest rate
for each of these interests shall be the lesser of (i) the REMIC
Swap Rate for such Distribution Date, and (ii) the product of (a)
the Pool 1 Net WAC, determined without regard to the Swap Agreement
(the “REMIC Net WAC Rate”) and (b) 2.
(3)
For any Distribution
Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), the interest rate
for each of these interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the
product of (a) the REMIC Net WAC Rate and (b) 2, over (ii) the
REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall first pay or charge as an expense of
Lower-Tier REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such
Distribution Date allocable to Pool 1, other than any Net Swap
Payment or Swap Termination Payment required to be made from the
Trust Fund or the Swap Trust.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Pool 1 Interest
Remittance Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding
paragraph) with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular
Interests based on the above-described interest rates.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Pool 1 Principal
Remittance Amount with respect to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests,
sequentially, to the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests in
ascending order of their numerical class designation, and, with
respect to each pair of classes having the same numerical
designation, in equal amounts to each such class, until the
principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All
losses on the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the
Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the same manner that
principal distributions are allocated.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall distribute an amount equal to the amount then
on deposit in the Distribution Account that represents Prepayment
Premiums with respect to Pool 1 to the Class LT1-F60
Interest.
Middle-Tier REMIC 1:
The following table sets forth the
designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each

For any Distribution
Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), the interest rate
for each of these interests is a per annum rate equal to the
weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower-Tier REMIC 1
Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, provided,
however, that for any Distribution Date on which the MT1-IO
Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a
Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest having an “F” in
its class designation, as described in footnote two below, such
weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on
such Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest to a cap equal to the
product of (i) two, and (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date
(the “Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Net WAC Rate”).
(2)
The Class MT1-IO is an
interest only class that does not have a principal balance.
For the applicable Distribution Date listed in the first
column in the table below, the Class MT1-IO shall be entitled to
interest accrued on each Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest listed
in the second column in the table below at a per annum rate equal
to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for each such
Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest for such Distribution Date over
(ii) the product of (a) two, and (b) Swap LIBOR for such
Distribution Date.

The Class MT1-R interest
is the sole class of residual interests in Middle-Tier REMIC 1.
It does not have an interest rate or a principal
balance.
(4)
This interest shall have
an initial principal balance equal to the aggregate principal
balance of all the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date minus the
aggregate initial principal balance of each other regular interest
in Middle-Tier REMIC 1.
On each Distribution Date, interest shall
be distributed on the Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests based
on the above-described interest rates , provided, however ,
that interest that accrues on the Class MT1-Q Interest shall be
deferred in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in
the Pool 1 Overcollateralized Amount for such Distribution Date.
Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the
interest rate for the Class MT1-Q Interest. An amount equal
to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional
principal on the other Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests having
a principal balance in the manner described under priority
First below.
On each Distribution Date principal shall
be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the
Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the following order of
priority:
First , to the Class MT1-A1, Class MT1-A2, Class MT1-A3,
Class MT1-A4, Class MT1-A5, Class MT1-M1, Class MT1-M2, Class
MT1-B1, and Class MT1-B2 Interests until the principal balance of
each such Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest equals one-half of
the Class Principal Amount of the Corresponding Class of
Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;
and
Second , to the Class MT1-Q Interest, any remaining
amounts.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums passed
through with respect to the Class LT1-F60 Lower-Tier REMIC 1
Regular Interests on such Distribution Date to the Class MT1-Q
Interest.
Lower-Tier REMIC 2:

The per annum Certificate Interest Rate
on the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-2, Class 1-A-3, Class 1-A-4, Class
1-A-5, Class 1-M-1, Class 1-M-2, Class 1-B-1 and Class 1-B-2
Certificates will be equal to the least of (a) LIBOR plus the
related Certificate Margin, (b) the Pool 1 Net WAC (adjusted for
the actual number of days in the related Accrual Period), and (c)
11.50% per annum. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the
reference to the Pool 1 Net WAC in the preceding sentence shall be
deemed to be a reference to the REMIC Net WAC Rate; therefore, on
any Distribution Date on which the Certificate Interest Rate for
one of these Certificates exceeds the REMIC Net WAC Rate, interest
accruals based on such excess shall be treated as having been paid
from the Swap Trust; on any Distribution Date on which the
Certificate Interest Rate on one of these Certificates is based on
the Pool 1 Net WAC, the amount of interest that would have accrued
on the Certificates if the REMIC Net WAC Rate were substituted for
the Pool 1 Net WAC shall be treated as having been paid by such
Certificateholders to the Swap Trust, all pursuant to and as
further provided in Section 10.01(k) hereof.
(2)
The per annum
certificate interest rate on the Class 2-A-1 Certificates will be
equal to the lesser of (a) the related Fixed Pass-Through Rate and
(b) the Pool 2 Net WAC.
(3)
With respect to any
Distribution Date on or prior to the Distribution Date in October
2013, the per annum Certificate Interest Rate on the Class 2-A-2,
Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4, Class 2-A-5, Class 2-A-6, Class 2-A-7,
Class 2-A-8, Class 2-M-1, Class 2-M-2, Class 2-B-1 and Class 2-B-2
Certificates will be equal to the lesser of (a) the related Fixed
Pass-Through Rate and (b) the Pool 2 Net WAC. With respect to
any Distribution Date on or after the Distribution Date in November
2013, the per annum Certificate Interest Rate on the Class 2-A-2,
Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4, Class 2-A-5, Class 2-A-6, Class 2-A-7,
Class 2-A-8, Class 2-M-1, Class 2-M-2, Class 2-B-1 and Class 2-B-2
Certificates will be equal to the Pool 2 Net WAC, minus
0.25%.
(4)
The Class 1-P and Class 2-P Certificates
will not receive any distributions of interest but will be entitled
to all Prepayment Premiums on the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans and Pool 2
Mortgage Loans, respectively.
(5)
The Class 1-CE Certificates will be
entitled to all Pool 1 Net Monthly Excess Cashflow remaining after
distributions pursuant to clauses 5.02(c)(i) through (xix) hereof.
For purposes of compliance with the REMIC Provisions, the
Class 1-CE Certificates shall represent ownership of a regular
interest in the Upper Tier REMIC (the “Class 1-CE
Interest”), which shall comprise three components. The
first component has a notional balance equal to the aggregate of
the Class Principal Amounts of the Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular
Interests. The interest rate of the Class 1-CE Interest shall
be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest from the Pool 1
Mortgage Loans to accrue on the Class 1-CE Interest that is in
excess of the amount of interest that accrues on the Pool 1
Certificates (other than the Class 1-CE Certificates). For
any Distribution Date, the Certificate Interest Rate in respect of
the Class 1-CE Interest shall be the excess of: (i) the Middle-Tier
REMIC 1 Net WAC Rate over (ii) the product of: (A) two and (B) the
weighted average interest rate of the Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular
Interests (other than any interest-only interest), where the MT1-Q
Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each remaining
Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest is subject to a cap equal to
the Certificate Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class of
Certificates, determined by substituting the Middle-Tier REMIC 1
Net WAC Rate for the Pool 1 Net WAC in the definition thereof.
The second notional component represents the right to receive
all distributions in respect of the Class MT1-IO Interest in
Middle-Tier REMIC 1 (the “Class I” interest). The
third component represents the right to receive principal equal to
the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Pool 1
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the aggregate Initial
Class Principal Amount of each other Class of Pool 1Certificates
(other than the Class 1-P Certificates) as of the Closing Date.
Such principal balance shall not bear interest.
(6)
The Class 2-CE Certificates will be
entitled to all Pool 2 Net Monthly Excess Cashflow remaining after
distributions pursuant to clauses 5.02(f)(i) through (xvii) hereof.
For purposes of compliance with the REMIC Provisions, the
Class 2-CE Certificates shall represent ownership of a regular
interest in the Upper Tier REMIC (the “Class 2-CE
Interest”), which shall comprise two components. The
first component has a notional balance equal to the aggregate Class
Principal Balance of the Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests.
The interest rate of the Class 2-CE Interest shall be a rate
sufficient to cause all net interest from the Mortgage Loans to
accrue on the Class 2-CE Interest that is in excess of the amount
of interest that accrues on the Pool 2 Certificates (other than the
Class 2-CE Certificates). For any Distribution Date, the
Certificate Interest Rate in respect of the Class 2-CE Interest
shall be the excess of: (i) the Pool 2 Net WAC over (ii) the
product of: (A) two and (B) the weighted average interest rate of
the Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests, where the 2-LT-Q Interest
is subject to a cap equal to zero and each remaining Lower-Tier
REMIC 2 Regular Interest is subject to a cap equal to the
Certificate Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class of
Certificates. The second component represents the right to
receive principal equal to the excess of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Pool 2 Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date over the aggregate Initial Class Principal Amount of each
other Class of Pool 2 Certificates (other than the Class 2-P
Certificates) as of the Closing Date. Such principal balance
shall not bear interest.
As of the Cut-off Date, the Aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans was
$638,742,903 and the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Pool
2 Mortgage Loans was $271,017,423.
The foregoing REMIC structure is intended
to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to
the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest,
without creating any shortfall—actual or potential (other
than for credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest. To the
extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such
intention the parties identifying such ambiguity shall notify the
other parties hereto and shall, in accordance with Section 12.03 of
this Agreement, attempt to clarify such ambiguity or correct any
errors, including drafting errors.
