Schedule A
Mortgage Loan Schedule
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.

REMIC

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.

herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee hereby agree as

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.

the order of the Depositor upon receipt by 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
