The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator is liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.  

The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is (1) with respect to any Class of Physical Certificates, the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and (2) with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date; provided, however, that following the date on which Definitive Certificates for such Certificates are available pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Record Date shall be the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so notified the Certificate Registrar in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Certificate Registrar in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the Pool Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.  If the Servicer does not elect to exercise its option, the holder of the majority of the Class C Certificates may have the right to direct the Servicer to exercise that option on its behalf. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of (i) 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement or (ii) the Distribution Date in November 2039.

Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of adjustable and fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first and second liens on one- to four-family residential properties.

J.P. Morgan Acceptance Corporation I, as Depositor

This Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, or the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective affiliates.  Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality.

This certifies that J.P. Morgan Ventures Corp. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (set forth on the cover hereof) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by J.P. Morgan Acceptance Corporation I (the “Depositor”).  The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corp., as seller (the “Seller”), The Bank of New York, as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator), JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as servicer (the “Servicer”), Pentalpha Surveillance LLC as trust oversight manager (the “Trust Oversight Manager”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee ”).  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement, a transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall only be made if the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (x) from the transferee of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator either (i) a representation letter to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a person acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of any such plan or arrangement (“Benefit Plan Investor”) or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited tr ansactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement or (y) if the Certificate is the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation letter that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.  Neither the representation letters nor the Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of any such parties or the Trust Fund.  In the event the representations referred to in the preceding sentence are not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee, the Securiti es Administrator and the Certificate Registrar by the transferee’s acceptance of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate or by any beneficial owner who purchases an interest in this certificate in book-entry form.  In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to transfer such ERISA-Restricted Certificate to a Benefit Plan Investor is attempted without the delivery to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar of the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition of this certificate shall be void and of no effect.

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such laws.  In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer.  This Certificate may not be offered or sold except to “Qualified Institutional Buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act).  The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator is liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.  

The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is (1) with respect to any Class of Physical Certificates, the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and (2) with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date; provided, however, that following the date on which Definitive Certificates for such Certificates are available pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Record Date shall be the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so notified the Certificate Registrar in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Certificate Registrar in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the Pool Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.  If the Servicer does not elect to exercise its option, the holder of the majority of the Class C Certificates may have the right to direct the Servicer to exercise that option on its behalf.  In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund o r the disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of (i) 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement or (ii) the Distribution Date in November 2039.

evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of adjustable and fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first and second liens on one- to four-family residential properties.

J.P. Morgan Acceptance Corporation I, as Depositor

This Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, or the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective affiliates.  Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality.

This certifies that J.P. Morgan Ventures Corp. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (set forth on the cover hereof) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by J.P. Morgan Acceptance Corporation I (the “Depositor”).  The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corp., as seller (the “Seller”), The Bank of New York, as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator), JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as servicer (the “Servicer”), Pentalpha Surveillance LLC as trust oversight manager (the “Trust Oversight Manager”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee ”).  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement, a transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall only be made if the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (x) from the transferee of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator either (i) a representation letter to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a person acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of any such plan or arrangement (“Benefit Plan Investor”) or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited tr ansactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement or (y) if the Certificate is the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation letter that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.  Neither the representation letters nor the Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of any such parties or the Trust Fund.  In the event the representations referred to in the preceding sentence are not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee, the Securiti es Administrator and the Certificate Registrar by the transferee’s acceptance of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate or by any beneficial owner who purchases an interest in this certificate in book-entry form.  In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to transfer such ERISA-Restricted Certificate to a Benefit Plan Investor is attempted without the delivery to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar of the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition of this certificate shall be void and of no effect.

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such laws.  In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the transfer.  This Certificate may not be offered or sold except to “Qualified Institutional Buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act).  The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Each Holder of this Class R Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate may be transferred without delivery to the Certificate Registrar of a transfer affidavit of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form described in the Agreement, (iii) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate must agree to require a transfer affidavit from any other person to whom such person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate as required pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate must agr ee not to transfer an Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Trust 2006-HE3, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-HE3, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator is liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.  

The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is (1) with respect to any Class of Physical Certificates, the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and (2) with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date; provided, however, that following the date on which Definitive Certificates for such Certificates are available pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Record Date shall be the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so notified the Certificate Registrar in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Certificate Registrar in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the Pool Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.  If the Servicer does not elect to exercise its option, the holder of the majority of the Class C Certificates may have the right to direct the Servicer to exercise that option on its behalf.  In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund o r the disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement.  In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of (i) 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement or (ii) the Distribution Date in November 2039.

For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not include any of the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph.  Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee,  but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s direction.  However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 19 34.

5.

The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

___

___

Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates

Yes

No

only for the Transferee’s own account?


6.

If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, the Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a third party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A.  In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.

7.

The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.  Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase.  In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

STATE OF NEW YORK

)

: ss.:

COUNTY OF NEW YORK

)


____________________________________, being duly sworn, deposes, represents and warrants as follows:

1.

I am a ______________________ of ____________________________ (the “Owner”) a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of ______________, the record owner of J.P. Morgan Acceptance Corporation I, Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-HE3, Class R (the “Residual Certificates”), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Residual Certificates were issued.

2.

The Owner (i) is and will be a “Permitted Transferee” as of ____________________, 20___ and (ii) is acquiring the Residual Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit.  A “Permitted Transferee” is any person other than a “disqualified organization” or a possession of the United States.  For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income.

3.

The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Residual Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Residual Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Residual Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under th e Code and that the transferor of a “noneconomic residual interest” will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4), the Transferee represents and warrants that the transfer does not involve the transfer of the Residual Certificates to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base of the Transferee and one of the following applies:

(i)

the consideration paid to the Transferee for accepting the Residual Certificates is greater than the present value of the anticipated net federal income taxes and tax benefits (“Tax Liability Present Value”) associated with owning such Certificates, with such present value computed using a discount rate equal to the “applicable federal rate” prescribed by Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (with all applicable computations done in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(8); or

(ii)

the Transferee (A) is an “eligible corporation” as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c)(6), as to which the income of Residual Certificates will only be subject to taxation in the United States, (B) has, and has had in each of its two preceding fiscal years, gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the transferee within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c)(6)) in excess of $100 million and net assets of $10 million, and (C) hereby agrees only to transfer the Certificate to another corporation meeting the criteria set forth in this letter.

4.

The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Residual Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)

5.

The Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any Residual Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee’s agent, delivers to the Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.

6.

The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Residual Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.

7.

The Owner’s taxpayer identification number is ___________________.

8.

The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Residual Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Residual Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.

9.

The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Residual Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

10.

The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Residual Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Residual Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Residual Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Residual Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates.

11.

The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Residual Certificates.

12.

The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding.

13.

The Owner is not acquiring the Residual Certificates with the intent to transfer the Residual Certificates to any person or entity that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Residual Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding.

14.

The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Residual Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Residual Certificate were issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such representations are false.

15.

The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Residual Certificates, deliver to the Trustee an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Residual Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee:  (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a “Permitted Transferee”.

16.

The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

17.

The Owner of the Residual Certificate, hereby agrees that in the event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and transfer to the Holders of the Class C Certificates any amounts in excess of par received in connection with such termination.  Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Trustee is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.  This agreement shall bind and be enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of the undersigned in the Residual Certificate.  In connection with any transfer of the Residual Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an agreement substantially similar to this clause from any subsequent owner.

18.

The Owner

(a)

is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (a “Plan”), or any other person purchasing any Certificate with the assets of any such plan or arrangement;

(b)

if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, is an insurance company, the source of funds to be used by it to purchase the Certificates is an “insurance company general account” (within the meaning of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60), and the purchase is being made in reliance upon the availability of the exemptive relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or

(c)

provides an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by, on behalf of or with the assets of such plan or arrangement will not result in non-exempt prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement.

The Owner is not transferring the Class R Certificates (the “Residual Certificates”) to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

Schedule 4


ACCREDITED HOME LENDERS, INC.

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Defined terms used but not defined in this Schedule 4 shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Accredited Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  The Seller, with respect to Mortgage Loans sold by it, and, solely if specified below, the Servicer, hereby represent and warrant to the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date or such other date specified herein:

a.

Mortgage Loans as Described.  The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the tape delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser is true, correct and complete in all material respects.

b.

No Outstanding Charges.  There are no defaults by the Seller, the Servicer or any prior originator or servicer in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, ground rents, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, water, sewer and municipal charges which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.  None of the Seller, the Servicer or any prior originator or servicer has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance from any party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount due under the Mortgage Loan.

c.

Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which (a) have been recorded in the applicable public recording office if required by law or if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage and (b) which have been delivered to the Purchaser.  No other instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part.

d.

No Defenses.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.  Since the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortg agor has not filed for protection under, or has been a debtor under, applicable bankruptcy laws.

e.

Hazard Insurance.  All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer generally acceptable to Fannie Mae and to prudent mortgage lending institutions against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the secondary mortgage market as well as all additional requirements set forth herein, pursuant to an insurance policy conforming to the requirements of Customary Servicing Procedures and providing coverage in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan.  All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid.  If the M ortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect.  The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.  Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development.  The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor, any subservicer or any prior servicer having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller.

f.

Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Any and all requirements of any applicable federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, predatory and abusive lending laws, equal credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loan have been complied with; the Servicer maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Servicer’s office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice.

g.

No Satisfaction of Mortgage.  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.  Neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, and neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived any default.

h.

Valid First or Second Lien.  The related Mortgage is properly recorded and is a valid, existing and enforceable (subject to bankruptcy laws and general principles of equity) (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the lien of the Mortgage, subject only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easeme nts and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property and (iv) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), a First Lien on the Mortgaged Property.  Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable (subject to ban kruptcy laws and general principles of equity) (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.  Except as otherwise indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.  With respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, where required or customary in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located, the original lender has filed for record a request for notice of any action by the senior lienholder under the related First Lien, and the original lender has notified any senior lienholder in writing of the existence of the Second Lien Mortgage Loan and requested notification of any action to be taken against the Mortgagor by the senior lienholder.  With respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, either (a) no consent for the Second Lien Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the related first lien or (b) such consent has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File.

i.

Validity of Mortgage Documents.  The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (ii) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law and the Seller has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser.  All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

j.

Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on site or off site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.  All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

k.

Title Insurance.  The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA or CLTA lender’s title insurance policy or other form of title insurance where the applicable local jurisdiction does not allow for such lender’s title policy, acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer or such other insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (h)(i), (h)(ii) and (h)(iii) and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in (h)(iv)) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to ARM Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unen forceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment.  Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.  Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.  The Seller and its successors and assigns are the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and its assigns without any further act.  No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and the Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.

l.

No Default.  Except for a related Monthly Payment not more than 29 days delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration, and neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) (i) the First Lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such First Lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the First Lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the Second Lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the First Lien mortgage.

m.

No Mechanics’ Liens.  Except as insured against by the related title insurance policy, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.

n.

Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.  All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in (k) above and all improvements on the Mortgaged Property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.

o.

Origination; Payment Terms.  The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority.  The Seller and all other parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.  Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan shall commence (with respect to any newly originated Mortgage Loans) or commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed.  The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of the month.  As to each ARM Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of 0.125%; provided, however, that the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease by more than the Initial Rate Cap on the first Adjustment Date or the Periodic Rate Cap on any subsequent Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed the Lifetime Rate Cap.  Each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient (i) during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, if applicable, to amortize the original principal balance fully over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (ii) during the period following each Adjustment Date in the case of each ARM Mortgage Loan and each Interest-Only Mortgage Loan (following adjustment at the Interest-Only Adjustment Date), to amortize the outstanding principal balance fully as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate.  The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization.  Interest on the Mortgage Note is calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months.  No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan.  None of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans.

p.

Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no proceeding pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property and such property is in good repair and is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended.

q.

Customary Provisions.  The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions (subject to bankruptcy laws and general principles of equity) such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.  There is no homestead or other exemption or right available to the Mortgagor or any other person which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.  The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or as approved by Purchaser.

r.

No Additional Collateral.  The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (h) above.

s.

Appraisal.  The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and such appraisal complies with the requirements of FIRREA, and was made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a Qualified Appraiser.

t.

Deeds of Trust.  In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

u.

No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests.  The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation, or other contingent interest feature, nor does it contain any “buydown” provision which is currently in effect.

v.

Disclosure and Rescission Materials.  The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan and rescission materials required by applicable law if the Mortgage Loan is a Refinanced Mortgage Loan and has acknowledged receipt of such materials to the extent required by applicable law and such documents will remain in the Mortgage File.

w.

LTV, PMI Policy.  The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium.  As of the date of origination, no Mortgage Loan had an LTV greater than 100%.  No Mortgage Loan is covered by a primary mortgage insurance policy.

x.

Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.  All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and no improvement located on or part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any zoning law or regulation.

y.

Transfer of Mortgage Loans.  The Assignment of Mortgage, if any, is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located (except with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan).  Each original Mortgage was recorded or is in the process of being recorded and, except for those Mortgage Loans subject to the MERS identification system, all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Purchaser) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Seller, or is in the process of being recorded.  On or after the related Closing Date, Seller has provided the Custodian and the Purchaser with the MERS batch number for the MERS Designated Mortgage Loans.  With respect to each MERS Designated Mortga ge Loan, the Seller has designated the Purchaser as the Investor and no Person is listed as Interim Funder on the MERS® System.  

z.

Delinquency.  All payments required to be made within 29 days  prior to the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made except for (A) payments in the nature of escrow payments and (B) interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and/or interest, the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored, and no Mortgage Loan has been more than thirty (30) days delinquent since the related origination date.

aa.

Mortgage File.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller is in possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents which have been delivered to the Purchaser or the Custodian or which have been submitted for recording and not yet returned.

bb.

Ownership.  Immediately prior to the payment of the Purchase Price, the Seller, or MERS, as nominee for the Seller, was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loans and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note.  The Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not assigned or pledged by the Seller other than to Seller’s warehouse lenders, whose lien shall be released prior to or simultaneously with the purchase thereof by the Purchaser, and the Seller had good and marketable title thereto, and prior to or simultaneously with purchase thereof by the Purchaser, the Seller had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, participation interest, lien, equity, pledge, claim or security interest and had full right and authority subject to no interest or participation in, or agreement with any other party to sell or o therwise transfer the Mortgage Loans.  Following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest.  The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to monitor, possess and control the Mortgage Loan except in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loan by the Servicer as set forth in this Agreement.  After the related Closing Date, neither the Seller nor the Servicer will have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and neither the Seller nor the Servicer will have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by the Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser.

cc.

Consolidation of Future Advances.  Any future advances made prior to the related Cut off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term.  The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having (A) first lien priority with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien priority with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and F reddie Mac.  The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.

dd.

b.

No Outstanding Charges.  (1) All taxes, ground rents, special assessments, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, water, sewer and municipal charges which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable prior to any “economic loss” dates or discount dates (or if payments were made after any “economic loss” date or discount date, then Seller has paid any penalty or reimbursed any discount out of Seller’s corporate funds) and (2) all flood and hazard insurance premiums which are due, have been paid without loss or penalty to the Mortgagor.  Seller has received no notice of, and has no knowledge of, any event, including but not limited to the bankruptcy filing or death of a Bo rrower, which may or could give rise to a Borrower default under the Note or Mortgage.  None of the Seller, the Servicer or any prior originator or servicer has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance from any party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount due under the Mortgage Loan.

c.

Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which (a) have been recorded in the applicable public recording office if required by law or if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and (b) which have been delivered to the Purchaser; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.  No other instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is a part of the Mortgage File and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.  As of the Transfer Date, the full original principal amount of each Mortgage Loan has been advanced as provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents, and there is no requirement for any future advances.

d.

No Defenses.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.  Since the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and t he Mortgagor has not filed for protection under, or has been a debtor under, applicable bankruptcy laws.

NOVASTAR MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


Defined terms used but not defined in this Schedule 7 shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the NovaStar Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  

a.

Mortgage Loans as Described.  The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the tape delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser is true, correct and complete in all material respects.

b.

No Outstanding Charges.  There are no defaults by the Seller, the Servicer or any prior originator or servicer in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, ground rents, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, water, sewer and municipal charges which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.  None of the Seller, the Servicer or any prior originator or servicer has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance from any party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount due under the Mortgage Loan.

c.

Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which (a) have been recorded in the applicable public recording office if required by law or if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and (b) which have been delivered to the Purchaser; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.  No other instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is a part of the Mortgage File and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

d.

No Defenses.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.  The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under, or has been a debtor under, applicable bankruptcy laws.

e.

Hazard Insurance.  All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer generally acceptable to Fannie Mae and to prudent mortgage lending institutions against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are required in the Fannie Mae Guides as well as all additional requirements set forth herein, pursuant to an insurance policy conforming to the requirements of Customary Servicing Procedures and providing coverage in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan.  All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid.  If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae.  The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.  Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development.  The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor, any subservicer or any prior servicer having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller.

f.

Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Any and all requirements of any applicable federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, predatory and abusive lending laws, equal credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loan have been complied with; the Servicer maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Servicer’s office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice.

g.

No Satisfaction of Mortgage.  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.  Neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, and neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived any default.

h.

Valid First or Second Lien.  The related Mortgage is properly recorded and is a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the lien of the Mortgage, subject only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of r ecording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property and (iv) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), a First Lien on the Mortgaged Property.  Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mort gage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.  The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.  With respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, where required or customary in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located, the original lender has filed for record a request for notice of any action by the senior lienholder under the related First Lien, and the original lender has notified any senior lienholder in writ ing of the existence of the Second Lien Mortgage Loan and requested notification of any action to be taken against the Mortgagor by the senior lienholder.  With respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, either (a) no consent for the Second Lien Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the related first lien or (b) such consent has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File.

j.

Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.  All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

k.

Title Insurance.  The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA or CLTA lender’s title insurance policy, acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (h)(i), (h)(ii) and (h)(iii) and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in (h)(iv)) the Seller, its successors and assigns with respect to First Lien Mortgage Loans as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to ARM Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the M ortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment.  Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.  Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.  The Seller and its successors and assigns are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and its assigns without any further act.  No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and the Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.

l.

No Default.  There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration, and neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) (i) the First Lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such First Lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violat ion or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the First Lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the Second Lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the First Lien mortgage.

m.

No Mechanics’ Liens.  There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.

Except with respect to Interest-Only Mortgage Loans, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient (i) during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to amortize the original principal balance fully over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (ii) during the period following each Adjustment Date in the case of each ARM Mortgage Loan (or following each Interest-Only Adjustment Date in the case of each Interest-Only Mortgage Loan), to amortize the outstanding principal balance fully as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate.  The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization.  Interest on the Mortgage Note is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan.  None of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans.

c.

Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which (a) have been recorded in the applicable public recording office if required by law or if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and (b) which have been delivered to the Purchaser; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.  No other instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Pri mary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is a part of the Mortgage File and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

No Defenses.  Subject to bankruptcy, equitable principles and laws affecting creditors’ rights, the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.  Since origination, the Mortgaged Prope rty has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.

Prepayment Premiums.  With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the loan’s origination, the borrower agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the loan’s origination, the borrower was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium; provided, that such offer may have been evidenced by the Seller’s rate sheet/pricing grid relating to such Mortgage Loan, which provided that the Mortgage Loan had a full prepayment premium buy-out pricing adjustment available, (iii) the prepayment premium is disclosed to the borrower in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, (iv) for loans originated on or after September 1, 2004, the duration of the prepayment period shall not exceed three (3) years from the date of the note, unless the loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more than three years from the date of the note and the borrower was notified in writing of such reduction in prepayment period, and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Servicer shall not impose such prepayment premium in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the borrower’s default in making the loan payments.

mmm.

Single Premium Credit Insurance Policies.  No borrower was required to purchase any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit.  No borrower obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.  No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan; any breach of this representation shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan and shall require a repurchas e of the affected Mortgage Loan.

nnn.

Points and Fees.  All points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation.  Except (i) as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule or (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination, no borrower was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Fannie Mae’s anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Fannie Mae Selling Guide.   

ooo.

Fees and Charges.  All fees and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation.

High Cost.  No mortgage loan in the trust is a “high cost home,” “covered” (excluding home loans defined as "covered home loans" in the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002 that were originated between November 26, 2003 and July 7, 2004), “high risk home” or “predatory” loan under any applicable state, federal or local law (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or fees); any breach of this representation shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan and shall require a repurchase of the affected Mortgage Loan.
