This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of October 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”), by and among J.P. MORGAN ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION I, a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., 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.

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 Securities Administrator shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Additional Collateral) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising two real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, 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 Lower-Tier REMIC Interests (other than the Class LT-A-R Interest).  The Lower Tier REMIC shall hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund (except for any Additional Collateral).   Each Lower Tier REMIC Interest (other than the Class LT-A-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC.  The latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular interests created in this Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The Lower-Tier REMIC

 

The Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall have the initial Class Principal Amounts, pass-through rates and Corresponding Mortgage Pools as set forth in the following table:

_______________
(1) Each Class A Interest shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Pool Subordinate Amount (“SP”) of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. Each Class B Interest shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Pool Subordinate Amount of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. The initial principal balance of each Class C Interest shall equal the excess of the initial aggregate principal balance of its corresponding Mortgage Pool over the initial aggregate principal balances of the Class A and Class B Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Pool.

 

(2) A Rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans of the corresponding Mortgage Pool.

 

(3) The Class LT-A-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. It has no principal balance and pays no principal or interest.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Available Funds from each Mortgage Pool shall be distributed with respect to its corresponding Lower-Tier REMIC Interests in the following manner:

 

(1) Interest . Interest is to be distributed with respect to each Lower-Tier REMIC Interest at the rate, or according to the formulas, described above.

 

(2) Principal if no Cross-Over Situation Exists . If no Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to any Class of Interests, then principal amounts arising with respect to each such Mortgage Pool will be allocated: first to cause the Mortgage Pool's corresponding Class A and Class B to equal, respectively, 0.9% of the SP and 0.1% of the SP; and second to the Mortgage Pool's corresponding Class C Interest.

 

(3) Principal if a Cross-Over Situation Exists . If a Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to the Class A and Class B Interests of a Mortgage Pool then:

 

(a) if the Calculation Rate in respect of such outstanding Class A and Class B Interests is less than the Subordinate Net WAC, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class A Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from such Mortgage Pool; and

 

(b) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B Interests is greater than the Subordinate Net WAC, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class B Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from such Mortgage Pool.

 

In each case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B Interests to equal the Subordinate Net WAC. With respect to each Mortgage Pool, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a) the principal payments comprising the Principal Remittance Amount received during the Due Period and (b) the Realized Losses, are insufficient to make the necessary reductions of principal on the Class A and Class B Interests, then interest will be added to the Mortgage Pool’s other Interests that are not receiving Principal Relocation Payments, in proportion to their principal balances.

 

(c) The outstanding aggregate Class A and Class B Interests for all Mortgage Pools will not be reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i) the aggregate outstanding Class Principal Amounts of all Mortgage Pools as of the end of any Due Period over (ii) the Senior Certificates for all Mortgage Pools as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal on such Distribution Date).

 

If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the distribution of principal to the Class A and Class B Interests of a Mortgage Pool, and if the Mortgage Pool’s Class C Interest has already been reduced to zero, then the excess principal from that Mortgage Pool will be paid to the Class C Interests of the other Mortgage Pools, the aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of which are less than one percent of the Pool Subordinated Amount. If the Mortgage Pool of a Class C Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average Net Mortgage Rate below the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Pool making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the Lower-Tier REMIC as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Mortgage Pool of a Class C Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average Net Mortgage Rate above the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Pool making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the Lower-Tier REMIC as a reimbursement for prior Realized Losses.

(1)

The Certificate Interest Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-2, Class 1-A-3, Class 1-A-4 and Class A-R Certificates will equal the Pool 1 Net WAC.

(2)

 The Certificate Interest Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for the Class 2-A-1, Class 2-A-2, Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4, Class 2-A-5, Class 2-A-6, Class 2-A-7 and Class 2-A-8 Certificates will equal the Pool 2 Net WAC.

(3)

 The Certificate Interest Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for the Class 3-A-1, Class 3-A-2, Class 3-A-3 and Class 3-A-4 Certificates will equal the Pool 3 Net WAC.

(4)

The Certificate Interest Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for the Class 4-A-1 Certificates will equal the Pool 4 Net WAC.

(5)

The Certificate Interest Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for the Class 5-A-1 Certificates will equal the Pool 5 Net WAC.

(6)

The Certificate Interest Rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for the Class 6-A-1, Class 6-A-2, Class 6-A-3 and Class 6-A-4 Certificates will equal the Pool 6 Net WAC.

(7)

The Certificate Interest Rates with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates will be equal to the Subordinate Net WAC.

As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans had an Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of $1,970,261,094.

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 Securities Administrator will resolve ambiguities to accomplish such result and will to the extent necessary rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of Counsel) to accomplish such intention.


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

Section 2.05

Discovery of Breach; Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.  

(a)

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator or receipt of written notice of any materially defective document in, or, following the date of delivery to the Trustee of the Custodian’s certifications as required under the related Custodial Agreements, that a document is missing from, a Trustee Mortgage File, or discovery by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator of the breach by such Originator or Seller of any representation or warranty under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in the case of an Originator, or under this Agreement, in the case of the Seller, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”) (each of the Depositor, the Seller and the related Originator hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the other of such parties), the Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Seller or the related Originator, as applicable, in writing of such defective or missing document or breach and request that the Seller or related Originator deliver such missing document or cure or cause the cure of such defect or breach within a period of time specified in the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement (or, in the case of a breach by the Seller, within 90 days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach), and if the Seller or related Originator, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement and then, to the extent that the related Originator fails to cure such defect or breach, the Seller under this Agreement, and cause the related Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such specified period (subject to Section 2.05(b) below); provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such specified period (unless permitted a greater period of time to cure under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement), subject to Section 2.05(c) below, if the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall have commenced to cure such breach within such specified period, the related Originator or the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within such additional time as is reasonably determined by the Trustee to cure such breach.  To the extent that any costs and damages are incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of any violation of any applicable federal, state, or local predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the related Originator or the Seller, such costs and damages shall be included in the Purchase Price of such repurchased Mortgage Loan and shall be borne by the Seller.  The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit, shall release or cause the Custodian to release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose).  If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the related Originator or the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either party may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b) below.  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any related Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(b)

Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date.  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.  Scheduled Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the Due Period related to the Distribution Date in the month of substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable.  For the month of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders shall reflect the Scheduled Payments in respect of such Deleted Mortgage for the related Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  Upon such substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the related Acknowledgement, including all representations and warranties thereof included in such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in each case as of the date of substitution.

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 Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage Loans.  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, plus one month’s interest, at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, on such Substitution Amount, and the 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, 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.

In addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.  If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.

(c)

Upon discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator 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 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.
