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 purposes of Sections 11.01, 11.02, 11.03, 11.06, 11.07 and 11.09.

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 1-LT-R interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 (the “Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular 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 interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 1, each of which (other than the MT1-R interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 1 (the “Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests”):

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 following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2, each of which (other than the 2-LT-R interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2 (the “Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests”):

The Class 2-LT-R interest is the sole class of residual interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 2.  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 Lower-Tier REMIC 2.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall first pay or charge as an expense of  Lower-Tier REMIC 2 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date allocable to Pool 2.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Pool 2 Interest Remittance Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates, provided, however , that interest that accrues on the Class LT2-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Pool 2 Overcollateralized Amount for such Distribution Date.  Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class LT2-Q.  An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other Lower-Tier REMIC 2 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 with respect to Pool 2 shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests in the following order of priority:

First , to the Class LT2-A1, Class LT2-A2, Class LT2-A3, Class LT2-A4, Class LT2-A5, Class LT2-A6, Class LT2-A7, Class LT2-A8, Class LT2-M1, Class LT2-M2, Class LT2-B1, and Class LT2-B2 Interests until the principal balance of each such Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

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.
