This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of November 1, 2006 (the "Agreement"), by and among J.P. MORGAN ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION I, a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the "Trustee") and U.S. 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-F59 Interest.

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-M3, Class MT1-M4, Class MT1-M5, 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-F59 Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests on such Distribution Date to the Class MT1-Q Interest.

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-M-3, Class 1-M-4, Class 1-M-5, 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 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 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 December 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 (xxviii) 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 $865,998,034 and the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Pool 2 Mortgage Loans was $306,544,762.

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.

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee hereby agree as follows:

For any month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer shall determine the excess (each, a "Substitution Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage Loans replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together with one month’s interest on such excess amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate.  On the date of such substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Custodial Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Amount, if any, and the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty as the related Originator or Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

(c)

Upon discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two (2) Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.  In connection therewith, the applicable party shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b), substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan.  Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(a) above.  The Trustee shall re-convey to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

SECTION 2.06

Grant Clause.  

(a)

It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan.  However, if such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates; and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.  If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.

(b)

The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.  The Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of an Originator, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of an Originator or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws.  Neither the Originators nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee.  Before effecting such change, any Originator or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans.  In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Originators and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b), it being understood that such immediate or mediate transferees are under no obligation to make such filings.

SECTION 2.07

Swap Agreement.

The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to execute and deliver on behalf of the Swap Trust the Swap Agreement and authorizes the Securities Administrator to perform its obligations thereunder on behalf of the Swap Trust in accordance with the terms of the Swap Agreement.  The Depositor hereby authorizes and directs the Securities Administrator to ratify on behalf of the Swap Trust, as the Swap Trust’s own actions, the terms agreed to by the Depositor in relation to the Swap Agreement, as reflected in the Swap Agreement, and the Securities Administrator hereby so ratifies the Swap Agreement.  Solely in its capacity as Swap Trustee and not in its individual capacity, the Swap Trustee shall have no responsibility for the contents of such Swap Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties contained therein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Swap Agreement, neither the Swap Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to make any payments from its own funds to the Swap Provider.  If based upon a notice from the valuation agent pursuant to section 4(c) of the credit support annex, the Securities Administrator determines that a delivery amount exists, then the Securities Administrator shall demand such amount pursuant to section 3(a) of the credit support annex.  The Securities Administrator shall amend the Swap Agreement in accordance with its terms and as requested in writing by a party to the Swap Agreement to cure any ambiguity in or correct or supplement any provision of, the Swap Agreement; provided, however, that any such amendment will not have a material adverse effect to a Certificateholder as evidenced by a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates.  The Swap Agreement shall not be part of any REMIC.  The Swap Provider is the calculation agent under the Swap Agreement and shall calculate all amounts pursuant to the Swap Agreement and notify the Securities Administrator of all such amounts.

(a)

The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap Agreement on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Pool 1 Certificates.  The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Pool 1 Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Securities Administrator shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Securities Administrator as trustee of the Swap Trust and not in its individual capacity.

(b)

The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator to make any and all demands for Eligible Collateral (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) under the Swap Agreement from the Swap Provider in satisfaction of the Delivery Amount (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) requirement.  The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator to deliver notice to the Swap Provider upon any failure of the Swap Provider to transfer the Delivery Amount (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) pursuant to an Approved Credit Support Document (as defined in the Swap Agreement).

The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.  The Uncertificated Interests shall be issuable as uncertificated securities in registered form only and shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.  The Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates, beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in Certificate Principal Amount, or Notional Amount, as applicable, or in the Percentage Interests, specified herein.  Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be issued in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.  Each Class of Non-Book-Entry Certificates other than the Residual Certificates shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.  The Class A-R, Class 1-P and Class 2-P Certificates shall be issued as single Certificates and maintained in definitive, fully registered form in a denomination equal to 100% of the Percentage Interest of each such Class.  Each Uncertificated Interest shall be maintained in fully registered form.

(b)

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee or of the Securities Administrator on its behalf.  Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the written order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee of the Trustee Mortgage Files described in Section 2.01.  No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.  At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to the Authenticating Agent for authentication, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.

SECTION 3.02

Registration.  

The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and the Securities Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as, initial Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates and the Uncertificated Interest (the "Certificate Register").  The Trustee may appoint a bank or trust company to act as successor Certificate Registrar.  A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates and the Uncertificated Interest collectively.  The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Securities Administrator and the appointment of a successor Securities Administrator.  The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however , that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.  The Certificate Register in respect of the Uncertificated Interest shall contain a statement that transfers of the Uncertificated Interest to a Disqualified Organization are prohibited as provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 3.03

Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.  

(a)

A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar.  Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate being transferred.  An Uncertificated Interest may be transferred by the Holder thereof upon written notice to the Certificate Registrar and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Section 3.03.  No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of Certificates.

(b)

A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar.  Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered.  No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.  Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee, or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(c)

By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.

The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate:

(i)

The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a "qualified institutional buyer" (a "QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the Act by a transferor that has provided the Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of Exhibit H hereto; and

(ii)

The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an "accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.

(d)

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate or that is an Uncertificated Interest shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or Exhibit B, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in any nonexempt prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however , that the Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, or Section 4975 of the Code, (collectively, a "Plan") or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement.  Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit J.  The preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer the Depositor or the Securities Administrator.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial transfer of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates.  The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions.  The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d), and none of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have any liability for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements.  The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such time.  Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.

(e)

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement shall be made unless the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit J, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or the non-fiduciary service provider exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator and Trustee of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect.  If the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.

If any ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner.  Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(e) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(f)

As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided, however , that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable.  No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.

(g)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W 8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder").

Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"), and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.  In addition, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder.  Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate.  The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Certificate Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder.  The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith).  Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate.

If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt of written notice to the Certificate Registrar that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate.  The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).

(h)

Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holder’s or Owner’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this section.

SECTION 3.04

Cancellation of Certificates.  

Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Certificate Registrar.

SECTION 3.05

Replacement of Certificates.  

If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser the Trustee, or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Certificate Principal Amount.  Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.  Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

If after the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new Certificate from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or any agent in connection therewith.

SECTION 3.06

Persons Deemed Owners.  

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry Certificates, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.07

Temporary Certificates.

Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the written order of the Depositor, or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as the authorized officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.

(b)

If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of definitive Certificates of the same Class in the authorized denominations.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same Class.

SECTION 3.08

Appointment of Paying Agent.  

The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for the purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders hereunder.  The Trustee hereby appoints the Securities Administrator as the initial Paying Agent.  The Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent, other than the Securities Administrator, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in an Eligible Account (which shall be the Distribution Account) in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholders.  All funds remitted by the Securities Administrator to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the Securities Administrator.  If the Paying Agent is not the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, the Trustee shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution Date.  Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers.

the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s normal procedures;

(iii)

to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control; and

(iv)

the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.  Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.

Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.

(c)

If (i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the Paying Agent in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor satisfactory to the Depositor and the Paying Agent, (ii) the Depositor, at its option, advises the Paying Agent in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Paying Agent and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive Certificates.  Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate Registrar, upon the written instruction of the Depositor, shall have the right to issue Definitive Certificates on the Closing Date in connection with credit enhancement programs.
