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.

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.

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 holders 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 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 Transferees purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase.

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-WMC3, 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 transferees 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 Owners 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
Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties
(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 ins urer 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. 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, t he Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection 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 prudent mortgage lending institutions against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located 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 mortg agee 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. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagors cost and expense, and on the Mortgagors failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagors 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 faciliti es 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 hazard insurance 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 Servicers 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 Mortgagors 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 recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lenders title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not materially and adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, as set forth in the appraisal of such Mortgage 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. Subject to bankruptcy, equitable principles and laws affecting creditor rights, any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent docum ent 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 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. 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 locat ed, 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 b een 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 lenders title insurance policy, acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders making non-prime mortgage loans, issued by a title insurer acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders making non-prime mortgage loans 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 unenforceability of the lien resulting from th e 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 lenders title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller (or the originator of the applicable Mortgage Loan) and its successors and assigns are the sole insureds of such lenders title insurance policy, and such lenders 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 lenders title insurance policy, and the Seller has not done, by act or omission, any thing which would impair the coverage of such lenders 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 p eriod, 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. 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 Section 7.01 (k) above and all improvements on the Mortgaged Property comply with all applicable zoning and ordinances.
(o)
Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by (i) 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 or (ii) by a correspondent mortgage banker or broker licensed or authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located, in which case the Mortgage Loan was re-underwritten by the Seller prior to purchasing the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its Underwriting Guidelines in effect on the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. 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 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. Other than with respect to all Interest-Only Mortgage Loans or a Mortgage Loan with a balloon feature, 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.
(p)
Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no proceeding pending or, to the Sellers 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 Appraised 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 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 trustees 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 trustees sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders in the secondary mortgage market.
(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 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, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser and appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the Sellers Underwriting Guidelines (as in effect at the time such Mortgage Loan was originated) and the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989.
(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 trustees 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 (1) 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 (2) has acknowledged receipt of such materials to the extent required by applicable law and such documents will remain in the Mortgage File.
(w)
PMI Policy. 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 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 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 prior to the related Closing Date, Seller has provided the Custodian and the Purchaser with a MERS Report listing the Purchaser as the Investor with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan. With respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage 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 prior to the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made, 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 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 and the Seller had good and marketable title thereto, and 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 otherwise 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 mortgagees consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
(dd)
Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination. No representations have been made to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used.
(ee)
Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel (or contiguous parcels) of real property with a Residential Dwelling; provided, however, that any Residential Dwelling that is a condominium project or planned unit development generally conforms with the Underwriting Guidelines regarding such dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or cooperative. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project is acceptable to Fannie Mae.
(ff)
Adverse Selection. The Seller used no adverse selection procedures in selecting the Mortgage Loan from among the outstanding first- or second- lien, residential mortgage loans owned by it which were available for inclusion in the Mortgage Loans.
(gg)
Qualified Mortgage. Each Mortgage Loan is a qualified mortgage within Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code; 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.
(hh)
No Fraud. No fraud, misrepresentation or similar occurrence with respect to the Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller, the Servicer or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan, including without limitation the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.
(ii)
Origination Practices. The origination practices used by the Seller and the collection and servicing practices used by the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects legal and customary in the nonprime mortgage origination and servicing industry and the collection and servicing practices used by the Servicer have been consistent with Customary Servicing Procedures.
(jj)

(ll)
No Construction Loans. No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (i) the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (ii) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.
(mm)
Environmental Matters. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving any Mortgaged Property of which the Seller or the Servicer is aware in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property. The Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation.
(nn)
