SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this supplemental term sheet and does not contain all the information that you need to consider in making your investment decision.  Please read this entire supplemental term sheet and the accompanying prospectus carefully for additional information about the certificates.

The offered certificates, except for any residual certificates, will be issued in book-entry form and in the minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.  Any residual certificates will be issued in fully registered definitive form.

The certificates represent ownership interests in an issuing entity which will consist primarily of multiple separate pools of mortgage loans.  Certain of the mortgage pools may be combined together for purposes of limited cross-collateralization and are sometimes referred to in this supplemental term sheet as an “aggregate pool”.  Any mortgage pool not included in an aggregate pool is referred to in this supplemental term sheet as a “segregated pool”.

Generally, with certain limited exceptions discussed at “Limited Cross-Collateralization Among the Mortgage Pools in an Aggregate Pool” below, distributions to a group of certificates related to a mortgage pool will be solely derived from collections on the mortgage loans related to that mortgage pool.  Collections from the mortgage loans in an aggregate pool will be available to make distributions on the related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates.

If there is a mortgage pool that is not included in an aggregate pool, distributions to the certificates (both senior and subordinate) will be derived from collections on the mortgage loans in that mortgage pool.

ISSUING ENTITY

A trust specified in the term sheet will issue the certificates.  The trust will be formed pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement among the depositor, the master servicer, the securities administrator and the trustee.  The certificates solely represent beneficial ownership interests in the issuing entity created under the pooling and servicing agreement and not an interest in, or the obligation of, the depositor or any other person.

THE TRUSTEE

HSBC Bank USA, National Association will act as trustee of the issuing entity under the pooling and servicing agreement.

THE ORIGINATORS

The mortgage loans were originated by PHH Mortgage Corporation, Chase Home Finance LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and by certain other originators.

We refer you to “Description of the Mortgage Pools” in this supplemental term sheet for more information.

THE SPONSOR AND SELLER

J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, has previously acquired the mortgage loans from the originators.  On the closing date, J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corp., as seller, will sell all of its interest in the mortgage loans to the depositor.

THE DEPOSITOR

On the closing date, J.P. Morgan Acceptance Corporation I, a Delaware corporation, will assign all of its interest in the mortgage loans to the trustee for the benefit of certificateholders.

THE CUSTODIAN

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association will maintain custody of the mortgage files relating to the mortgage loans on behalf of the issuing entity.

THE MASTER SERVICER AND
SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR

U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, will act as master servicer and securities administrator under the pooling and servicing agreement.

THE SERVICERS

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and PHH Mortgage Corporation will each act as a servicer of a portion of the related mortgage loans.

Each servicer will service the mortgage loans originated or acquired by it pursuant to an existing purchase and servicing agreement between such servicer and the seller.  Chase Home Finance LLC will subservice the mortgage loans originated or acquired by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association pursuant to an existing servicing agreement among Chase Home Finance LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and the seller.  JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as servicer, and Chase Home Finance LLC, as subservicer, may service the mortgage loans originated or acquired by other originators.  The rights of the seller under these purchase and servicing agreements and servicing agreements will be assigned to the depositor, and the depositor, in turn, will assign such rights to the trustee for the benefit of certificateholders.  Certain other servicers may service a small portion of the mortgage loans.

We refer you to “The Servicers” and “Servicing of the Mortgage Loans” in this supplemental term sheet for more information.

CUT-OFF DATE

The cut-off date is the date after which the issuing entity will be entitled to receive all collections on and proceeds of the mortgage loans, which shall be the first day of the month in which the closing date occurs.

DISTRIBUTION DATE

The 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a business day, the next business day thereafter.  Distributions on each distribution date will be made to certificateholders of record as of the related record date, except that the final distribution on the certificates will be made only upon presentment and surrender of the certificates at the corporate trust office of the securities administrator.

RECORD DATE

Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, the record date for certain classes of certificates will be the last business day of the month preceding the month of a distribution date and for certain classes of certificates will be the business day before the distribution date.

DISTRIBUTIONS OF INTEREST

On each distribution date, to the extent funds are available from the related mortgage pool or mortgage pools, each class of certificates (other than any principal-only certificates) will be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest determined on the basis of the outstanding class principal amount or notional amount, as applicable, of such class immediately prior to such distribution date, the applicable certificate interest rate and the related accrual period.  

Interest payments on certain classes of certificates for each accrual period may be calculated and payable on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and may, on other classes, be calculated and payable on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of the actual number of days in the related accrual period.

Interest payments will be allocated among certificateholders of each class of certificates entitled to interest on a pro rata basis.

We refer you to “Description of the Certificates — Distributions of Interest” in this supplemental term sheet for more information.

DISTRIBUTIONS OF PRINCIPAL

The amount of principal distributable on the certificates (other than any interest-only certificates) on any distribution date will be determined by (1) formulas that allocate portions of principal payments received on the mortgage loans among the different classes of certificates and (2) the amount of funds actually received on the mortgage loans and available to make distributions on the certificates.  Funds actually received on the mortgage loans may consist of scheduled payments and unscheduled payments resulting from prepayments by borrowers, liquidation of defaulted mortgage loans or repurchases of mortgage loans under the circumstances described in this supplemental term sheet.

On each distribution date, each class of certificates (other than any interest-only certificates) will receive principal payments in accordance with the priorities set forth in “Description of Certificates — Priority of Distributions” in the related prospectus supplement and based on principal collections from the related mortgage pool or mortgage pools for the related due period.

We refer you to “Description of the Certificates — Distributions of Principal” in this supplemental term sheet and “Description of the Securities – Distributions on Securities” in the prospectus for more information.

FINAL SCHEDULED DISTRIBUTION DATE

The final scheduled distribution date for any class of Certificates is the distribution date in the month following the scheduled maturity date for the latest maturing mortgage loan in the related mortgage pool.  The actual final distribution date of any class of Certificates may be earlier or later, and could be substantially earlier, than such class’s final scheduled distribution date.  

LIMITED CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION
AMONG THE MORTGAGE POOLS IN AN AGGREGATE POOL

In certain limited circumstances, principal and interest collected on the mortgage loans in an aggregate pool may be applied to pay principal or interest, or both, to the senior certificates related to such aggregate pool but unrelated to that mortgage pool.

There is no cross-collateralization between the certificates related to an aggregate pool and any mortgage pool that is not included in such aggregate pool.

We refer you to “Description of the Certificates – Limited Cross-Collateralization Among the Mortgage Pools in an Aggregate Pool” in this supplemental term sheet for more information.

OPTIONAL CLEAN-UP REDEMPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES

On any distribution date on or after the distribution date on which an aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans in such aggregate pool is equal to or less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans in such aggregate pool as of the cut-off date, the master servicer will have the option to purchase all of the mortgage loans in such aggregate pool, thereby causing an early retirement of the certificates related to such aggregate pool.

On any distribution date on or after the distribution date on which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loans in a segregated mortgage pool is equal to 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans in such pool as of the cut-off date, the master servicer will have the option to purchase all of the mortgage loans in such pool, thereby causing an early retirement of the certificates related to that pool.

We refer you to “Description of the Certificates — Optional Clean-Up Redemption of the Certificates” in this supplemental term sheet for more information.

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT

Subordination.  The subordinate classes of certificates related to an aggregate pool or any segregated pool, as applicable, will provide credit enhancement for the related classes of senior certificates.  In addition, each class of related aggregate pool subordinate certificates or segregated pool subordinate certificates, as applicable, with a lower numerical class designation will have a payment priority over each class of related aggregate pool subordinate certificates or segregated pool subordinate certificates, as applicable, with a higher numerical class designation.  

If the mortgage loans in any pool experience losses the principal amount of the related subordinate class of certificates that is lowest in seniority and still outstanding will generally be reduced by the amount of those realized losses until the total outstanding principal balance of such class equals zero.

If a loss has been allocated to reduce the principal amount of your class of certificates, you will receive no payment in respect of that reduction.  If the applicable subordination of the related subordinate certificates is insufficient to absorb losses, then the senior certificates relating to the mortgage pool incurring the realized losses will generally be allocated such losses and may never receive all of their principal payments

Some losses, however, to the extent applicable for such pool, such as special hazard losses, bankruptcy losses, and fraud losses in excess of the amounts set forth in the related prospectus supplement, are generally allocated pro rata to each affected class of certificates instead of first being allocated to the related subordinate certificates.  Unlike other realized losses, these excess losses on the mortgage loans will be allocated pro rata among all related classes of certificates.

Pledged Asset Loans.  A portion of the mortgage loans, in addition to being secured by real property, may be secured by a security interest in a limited amount of additional collateral owned by the borrower or a third-party guarantor.  Such additional collateral may no longer be required when the principal balance of such additional collateral loan is reduced to a predetermined amount set forth in the related pledge agreement or guaranty agreement, as applicable, or when the loan-to-value ratio for such additional collateral loan is reduced to the applicable loan-to-value ratio for such additional collateral loan by virtue of an increase in the appraised value of the mortgaged property as determined by PHH Mortgage Corporation.

We refer you to “Description of the Mortgage Pools — The Pledged Asset Loans” in this supplemental term sheet for more detail.

SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

The master servicer will supervise the performance of each servicer under the related purchase and servicing agreement and the servicing agreements, as applicable.

Under the purchase and servicing agreements and the servicing agreements, the servicers are generally obligated to make monthly advances of cash (to the extent such advances are deemed recoverable), which will be included with mortgage principal and interest collections, in an amount equal to any delinquent monthly payments due on the related mortgage loans on the immediately preceding determination date.  The master servicer will be obligated to make any required advance if a servicer fails in its obligation to do so, to the extent described in this supplemental term sheet.  The master servicer and the servicers will be entitled to reimburse themselves for any such advances from future payments and collections (including insurance or liquidation proceeds) with respect to the related mortgage loans.  However, if the master servicer or the servicers make advances which are determined to be nonrecoverable from future payments and collections on the related mortgage loan, such parties will be entitled to reimbursement for such advances prior to any distributions to certificateholders.

The servicers will also make monthly payments to compensate in part for any shortfall in interest payments on the certificates which results from a mortgagor prepaying a related mortgage loan up to the amount of its servicing fee for that month.  If the servicers fail to make required payments in respect of such shortfalls, the master servicer will be obligated to reduce a portion of its master servicing fee to the extent necessary to fund any such shortfalls.

We refer you to “Servicing of the Mortgage Loans” in this supplemental term sheet for more detail.

FEES AND EXPENSES

Before payments are made on the certificates, the servicers will be paid a monthly fee equal to a certain percentage of the principal balance of the mortgage loans serviced by that servicer as described under “Servicing of Mortgage Loans—Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses; Master Servicing Compensation” in this supplemental term sheet.

Compensation to the master servicer may include investment income on funds held in the distribution account and may include a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the then outstanding aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans. The master servicer will pay the trustee fee and the securities administrator fee from such income.  Expenses of the servicers, the master servicer, the trustee and the securities administrator may be reimbursed from the issuing entity before payments are made on the certificates.

MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME
TAX CONSEQUENCES

For federal income tax purposes, a designated portion of the issuing entity will comprise multiple REMICs: one or more underlying REMICs and a single upper-tier REMIC.  Each underlying REMIC will hold either mortgage loans or uncertificated regular interests and will issue several classes of uncertificated regular interests and a single residual interest.  The upper-tier REMIC will hold as assets regular interests issued by one or more underlying REMICs and will issue the several classes of certificates, which, other than the residual certificates, will represent the regular interests in the upper-tier REMIC.  The residual certificates will represent ownership of the residual interest in the upper-tier REMIC.  

We refer you to “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this supplemental term sheet and in the prospectus for more information.

ERISA MATTERS

Subject to important considerations described under “ERISA Matters” in this supplemental term sheet and “ERISA Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus, the certificates rated in one of the four highest generic rating categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization, other than the residual certificates, are expected to be eligible for purchase by persons investing assets of employee benefit plans or other retirement arrangements.  The residual certificates will not be eligible for purchase by any such plan or arrangement, except as described herein.

We refer you to “ERISA Matters” in this supplemental term sheet and “ERISA Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus for more information.

LEGAL INVESTMENT

Generally any certificate rated in one of the two highest generic rating categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization will constitute “mortgage related securities” for purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, so long as they are rated in one of the two highest generic rating categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization.  You should consult your legal advisor in determining whether and to what extent the certificates constitute legal investments for you.

There are other restrictions on the ability of certain types of investors to purchase the certificates that prospective investors should consider.

We refer you to “Legal Investment” in the prospectus for more information.


RISK FACTORS

Investors should consider the following factors in connection with the purchase of certificates.  You should also consider the risk factors described in the accompanying prospectus.

Prepayments Are Unpredictable and Affect Yield

The rate of principal distributions and yield to maturity on the certificates will be directly related to the rate of principal payments on the related mortgage loans.  A portion of the mortgage loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without payment of a prepayment penalty.  The rate of principal payments on mortgage loans is influenced by a wide variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors, including general economic conditions, the level of prevailing interest rates, the availability of alternative financing and homeowner maturity.  For example, if interest rates for similar loans fall below the interest rates on the mortgage loans, the rate of prepayment would generally be expected to increase.  Conversely, if interest rates on similar loans rise above the interest rates on the mortgage loans, the rate of prepayment would generally be expected to decrease.  

A portion of the mortgage loans may impose a penalty for certain early full or partial prepayments of a mortgage loan.  If a mortgage loan imposes a prepayment penalty and the mortgagor makes a prepayment during a specified period which generally ranges from a minimum of six months to a maximum of five years after origination and the amount of such prepayment is in excess of a certain amount, a penalty is imposed and will be collected to the extent permitted under applicable law.  Prepayment penalties may discourage mortgagors from prepaying their mortgage loans during the penalty period and, accordingly, affect the rate of prepayment of such mortgage loans even in a declining interest rate environment.  

The rate of principal payments on mortgage loans is influenced by a wide variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors, including general economic conditions, the level of prevailing interest rates, the availability of alternative financing and homeowner maturity. For example, if interest rates for similar loans fall below the interest rates on the mortgage loans, the rate of prepayment would generally be expected to increase. Conversely, if interest rates on similar loans rise above the interest rates on the mortgage loans, the rate of prepayment would generally be expected to decrease.

We cannot predict the rate at which borrowers will repay their mortgage loans.  See “Risk Factors— Yield is Sensitive to Rate of Principal Prepayment” in the prospectus for a description of the factors that may influence the rate and timing of prepayments on the mortgage loans.

Rapid Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans May Reduce the Yield on the Interest-Only Certificates.

The interest-only certificates, if any, receive only distributions of interest.  Distributions to the holders of an interest-only certificate are based on their respective notional amount, calculated as described herein.  You should fully consider the risks associated with an investment in an interest-only certificate.  If the mortgage loans related to such interest-only certificates prepay faster than expected, holders of such interest-only certificates may not fully recover their initial investment.

The certificate interest rate of an interest-only certificate is based on the excess of the weighted average net mortgage interest rate of the mortgage loans in the related mortgage pool over the certificate interest rate of the principal and interest certificate to which such interest-only certificates relate. In general, the higher the weighted average net mortgage interest rate of the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool related to such interest-only certificates, the more interest the interest-only certificates will receive.  If mortgage interest rates decline, the mortgage loans with higher mortgage interest rates are more likely to be refinanced, and, therefore, prepayments in full on these mortgage loans are more likely to occur.  This will reduce the weighted average net mortgage interest rate of the related pool.  If the mortgage loans with higher mortgage interest rates prepay faster than expected, you may not fully recover your initial investment.  If on any distribution date, interest-only certificates receive interest distributions based on the weighted average net mortgage interest rate of the mortgage loans in their related pool, the interest-only certificates will not be entitled to interest distributions.  

Holding Subordinate Certificates Creates Additional Risks

The protections afforded the senior certificates in this transaction create risks for the subordinate certificates.  Prior to any purchase of subordinate certificates, consider the following factors that may adversely impact your yield:

·

Because the subordinate certificates receive interest and principal distributions after the related senior certificates receive such distributions, there is a greater likelihood that the subordinate certificates will not receive the distributions to which they are entitled on any distribution date.

·

The subordinate certificates are not entitled to a proportionate share of principal prepayments on the related mortgage loans until the beginning of the tenth, twelfth or fifteenth year after the closing date.  In addition, if certain losses on the mortgage loans exceed stated levels, a portion of the principal distribution payable to classes of subordinate certificates with higher numerical class designations will be paid to those classes of subordinate certificates with lower numerical class designations.

·

If a servicer or the master servicer determines not to advance a delinquent payment on a related mortgage loan because such amount is not recoverable from a mortgagor, there may be a shortfall in distributions on the related certificates which will impact the subordinate certificates.

·

Losses on the mortgage loans will generally be allocated to the subordinate certificates in reverse order of their priority of payment. A loss allocation results in a reduction of a certificate balance without a corresponding distribution of cash to the holder.  A lower certificate balance will also result in less interest accruing on that certificate.

·

The earlier in the transaction that a loss on a mortgage loan occurs and is allocated to a certificate, the greater the impact on the yield of that certificate.

Servicing Transfers May Increase Delinquencies

Servicing of the mortgage loans originated by certain servicers may be transferred to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association after the closing date.  The transfer of servicing of these mortgage loans  may result in a temporary increase in the delinquencies on the transferred mortgage loans.

Mortgage Loans with Interest-only Payments

Certain of the mortgage loans provide for payment of interest at the related mortgage rate, but no payment of principal, for a period of specified number of years following the origination of the related mortgage loan.  Following the applicable interest-only period, the monthly payment with respect to each such mortgage loan will be increased to an amount sufficient to amortize the principal balance of such mortgage loan over its remaining term, and to pay interest at the related mortgage interest rate.

Such interest-only mortgage loans will, absent other considerations, result in longer weighted average lives of the certificates when compared to certificates backed by fully amortizing mortgage loans.  If you purchase a certificate at a discount, you should consider that the extension of its weighted average life could result in a lower yield than would be the case if such mortgage loans provided for payment of principal and interest on every distribution date.  In addition, a borrower may view the absence of any obligation to make a payment of principal during the interest-only term of the mortgage loan as a disincentive to prepayment.

If a recalculated monthly payment as described above is substantially higher than a borrower’s previous interest-only monthly payment, that loan may also be subject to an increased risk of delinquency and loss.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pools” in this supplemental term sheet.

High Balance Loans

Certain of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date were in excess of $1,000,000.  You should consider the risk that the loss and delinquency experience on these high balance loans may have a disproportionate effect on such mortgage pool.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pools” in this supplemental term sheet.

Simultaneous Second Lien Risk

With respect to a portion of the mortgage loans, at the time of origination of the first lien mortgage loan, the originator also originated a second lien mortgage loan (on the same property) which is not included in the assets of the issuing entity.  With respect to mortgage loans that have second lien mortgage loans encumbering the same mortgaged property, foreclosure frequency may be increased relative to mortgage loans that do not have subordinate financing behind them since mortgagors have less equity in the mortgaged property. In addition, the servicer may declare a default on the second lien loan even though the first lien loan is current, which would constitute a default on the first lien loan. In addition to the mortgage loans discussed above that have simultaneous subordinate financing provided by the originator, with respect to certain other mortgage loans, at the time of origination of the first lien mortgage loan, the related mortgaged property may also be encumbered by a second lien mortgage to a mortgagee other than the originator. Investors should also note that any mortgagor may obtain subordinate financing at any time subsequent to the date of origination of their mortgage loan from the originator or from any other lender.

Your Yield May Be Affected by Changes in Interest Rates

The mortgage interest rate on each mortgage loan will be based on the Six-Month LIBOR, 1-Year LIBOR or 1-Year CMT Index.  No prediction can be made as to future levels of any of these indices or as to the timing of any changes therein, each of which will directly affect the yields of the related classes of certificates.

Certain certificates may accrue interest at a certificate interest rate equal to the One-Month LIBOR index plus the related certificate margin, but are subject to a limit and are referred to herein as the “LIBOR Certificates”.  The mortgage rates on the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool related to the LIBOR Certificates may adjust based on a the Six-Month LIBOR, the 1-Year LIBOR or the 1-Year CMT index.  All of the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool related to the LIBOR Certificates will have maximum limitations on adjustments to their interest rates and substantially all of the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool related to the LIBOR Certificates will have periodic limitations on adjustments to their interest rates.  Because the cap on the interest rate for each class of LIBOR Certificates will generally be equal to the weighted average of the net interest rates of the mortgage loans in the related mortgage pool, the periodic and maximum limitations on adjustments to the interest rates on these mortgage loans may cause the LIBOR Certificates to accrue less interest than they would accrue if their interest rate was based solely on the One-Month LIBOR index plus the applicable margin.

A variety of factors could limit the interest  rates on the LIBOR Certificates and may adversely affect the yields to maturity on these certificates.  Some of these factors are described below.

·

The certificate interest rates for the LIBOR Certificates adjust monthly while the mortgage rates on the mortgage loans adjust less frequently.  Consequently, the cap (described above) on the interest rates applicable to the LIBOR Certificates may limit increases in such certificate interest rates of one or more classes of the LIBOR Certificates for extended periods in a rising interest rate environment.


·

Six-Month LIBOR, 1-Year LIBOR or 1-Year CMT may change at different times and in different amounts than One-Month LIBOR.  As a result, it is possible that the Six-Month LIBOR, 1-Year LIBOR or 1-Year CMT rate applicable to the mortgage loans related to the LIBOR Certificates may decline while the One-Month LIBOR rate applicable to the LIBOR Certificates is stable or rising, increasing the likelihood that the limit (described above) will apply to the certificate interest rates applicable to one or more of the certificates.  It is also possible that the Six-Month LIBOR, 1-Year LIBOR or 1-Year CMT rate applicable to the mortgage loans related to the LIBOR Certificates and the One-Month LIBOR rate applicable to the LIBOR Certificates may decline or increase during the same period, but One-Month LIBOR may decline more slowly or increase more rapidly.


If the certificate interest rates on the LIBOR Certificates are subject to the limit (described above), the resulting basis risk shortfalls will not be recoverable by the holders of the LIBOR Certificates.

See “Description of the Certificates — Distributions of Interest” in this supplemental term sheet.

Limited Cross-Collateralization Among The Mortgage Pools in an Aggregate Pool; Limited Recourse

With limited exception described in “Description of the Certificates — Limited Cross-Collateralization Among the Mortgage Pools in an Aggregate Pool,” interest and principal on the senior certificates will be paid from amounts collected in respect of the mortgage loans in the related mortgage pool.  In the case of the senior certificates, the mortgage pools will generally not be “cross-collateralized” — interest and principal collections received from the mortgage loans in a mortgage pool will generally only be available for distribution to the related senior certificates and not to the senior certificates related to the other mortgage pools while collections from all mortgage pools in an aggregate pool, will be available to make distributions to the related subordinate certificates.

Because the subordinate certificates related to an aggregate pool represent interests in all mortgage pools in such aggregate pool, the class principal amounts of such subordinate certificates could be reduced to zero as a result of realized losses on the mortgage loans in any pool in such aggregate pool.  Therefore, the allocation of realized losses on the mortgage loans in any pool in an aggregate pool to the related aggregate pool subordinate certificates will reduce the subordination provided by such subordinate certificates to all of the classes of senior certificates related to a mortgage pool in such aggregate pool, including the senior certificates related to a mortgage pool in such aggregate pool that did not suffer any losses.  This will increase the likelihood that future realized losses on the mortgage loans in such aggregate pool may be allocated to senior certificates related to a mortgage pool that did not suffer those previous losses.

There is no cross-collateralization between the certificates related to an aggregate pool and any other aggregate pool or segregated pool.

Neither the certificates nor the assets of the issuing entity will be guaranteed by the depositor, the seller, the master servicer, the servicers, the securities administrator, the trustee or any of their respective affiliates or insured by any governmental agency.  Consequently, if collections on the related mortgage loans are insufficient to make all payments required on the certificates and the protection against losses provided by subordination is exhausted, you may incur a loss on your investment.

Potential Inadequacy of Credit Enhancement

The certificates are not insured by any financial guaranty insurance policy.  The subordination and loss allocation features described in this supplemental term sheet are intended to enhance the likelihood that holders of more senior classes of certificates will receive regular payments of interest and principal, as applicable, but are limited in nature and may be insufficient to cover all losses on the mortgage loans.  None of the depositor, the master servicer, any servicer, the securities administrator, the trustee nor any of their respective affiliates will have any obligation to replace or supplement any credit enhancement or to take any other action to maintain the rating of the certificates.

The amount of any realized losses experienced on a mortgage loan in an aggregate pool or any segregated pool, other than excess losses on the mortgage loans in certain mortgage pools set forth in the related prospectus supplement, will be applied to reduce the principal amount of the related class of subordinate certificates with the highest numerical class designation, until the principal balance of that class has been reduced to zero.  If subordination is insufficient to absorb losses, then holders of more senior classes will incur realized losses and may never receive all of their principal payments.  After the total class principal amount of related subordinate certificates has been reduced to zero, realized losses on the mortgage loans in certain mortgage pools will reduce the class principal amounts of the related senior certificates.

Furthermore, in certain mortgage pools set forth in the related prospectus supplement, the subordinate certificates will provide only limited protection against some categories of losses on the mortgage loans in the related aggregate pool or any segregated pool, as applicable, such as special hazard losses, bankruptcy losses and fraud losses up to certain amounts specified in this the related prospectus supplement.  Any losses on the mortgage loans in such a mortgage pool in an aggregate pool or any segregated pool in excess of those amounts will be allocated among each class of senior certificates related to that mortgage pool and each class of related subordinate certificates in the manner set forth in this supplemental term sheet, even if the principal balance of each such subordinate class has not been reduced to zero.  You should note that a disproportionate amount of coverage for these types of losses could be experienced by one mortgage pool in an aggregate pool which would make certificates related to the other mortgage pools in an aggregate pool more likely to suffer a loss.  

Cash Flow Considerations and Risks

The related mortgage loans, the related mortgaged property and other assets of the issuing entity are the sole source of payments on the certificates.  Even if the mortgaged properties provide adequate security for the mortgage loans, you could encounter substantial delays in connection with the liquidation of mortgage loans that are delinquent.  This could result in shortfalls in payments on the certificates if the credit enhancement provided by subordination is insufficient.  Further, liquidation expenses, such as legal fees, real estate taxes and maintenance and preservation expenses, will reduce the security for the related mortgage loans and could thereby reduce the proceeds payable to certificateholders.  If any of the mortgaged properties and additional collateral fail to provide adequate security for the related mortgage loans, certificateholders could experience a loss if the credit enhancement created by the subordination has been exhausted.

Concentration of Mortgage Loans Could Adversely Affect Your Investment

A substantial amount of the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans are secured by mortgaged properties located in California.  Property in California may be more susceptible than homes located in other parts of the country to some types of uninsurable hazards, such as earthquakes, mudslides, hurricanes, floods, wildfires and eruptions, and civil disturbances such as riots.  

Since 2001, California has experienced intermittent energy shortages that have resulted in unpredictable rolling blackouts and higher energy costs. In addition, recently the cost of crude oil reached record highs. These higher energy and fuel costs could reduce the amount of money that the affected obligors have available to make monthly payments. Higher energy costs and blackouts could also cause business disruptions, which could cause unemployment and an economic downturn. Such obligors could potentially become delinquent in making monthly payments or default if they were unable to make payments due to increased energy or fuel bills or unemployment. The issuing entity’s ability to make payments on the certificates could be adversely affected if the related obligors were unable to make timely payments. The depositor cannot predict whether, or to what extent or for how long, such events may occur.  

There also may be significant concentrations of mortgage loans in other states.  Consequently, losses and prepayments on the mortgage loans and the resultant payments on the related certificates may be affected significantly by changes in the housing markets and the regional economies in any of these areas and by the occurrence of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves, mud slides, fires and floods in these areas.

Hurricanes May Have Affected Mortgaged Properties

Hurricanes, which have struck the Gulf Coast region of the United States during the months of July, August, September and October 2005, may have adversely affected any mortgaged properties located in that area.  The related originator or the seller will make a representation and warranty that each mortgaged property is free of material damage and in good repair as of the closing date.  No assurance can be given as to the effect of this event on the rate of delinquencies and losses on the mortgage loans secured by mortgaged properties that were or may be affected by the hurricanes.  Any adverse impact as a result of this event may be borne by the holders of the certificates, particularly if the related seller fails to repurchase any mortgage loan that breaches this representation and warranty or the damage to a mortgaged property occurs after the closing date.

In addition, we are unable to predict the effect of the hurricanes on the economy in the affected regions.  The full economic impact of the hurricanes is uncertain but may affect the ability of borrowers to make payments on their mortgage loans, the ability of the servicer to make collections on mortgage loans and the level of forbearance afforded by the servicer to borrowers.  Initial economic effects appear to include localized areas of nearly complete destruction of the economic infrastructure and cessation of economic activity, regional interruptions in travel and transportation, tourism and economic activity generally, and nationwide decreases in petroleum availability with a corresponding increase in price.

GLOSSARY OF DEFINED TERMS

A glossary of defined terms used in this supplemental term sheet begins on page 53. Any terms used in this supplemental term sheet but not defined in the glossary are defined in the accompanying prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOLS

None of the Mortgage Loans will be guaranteed by any governmental agency.  Pursuant to the Assignment Agreements, the Seller and the Depositor will assign to the Trustee, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, their respective interests in the underlying Purchase and Servicing Agreements with respect to the Mortgage Loans originally entered into between the Seller and the related Originator.

The Mortgage Loans have been acquired directly or indirectly by the Seller from the Originators in the ordinary course of its business pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreements.  The Chase Originators Mortgage Loans and PHH Mortgage Loans were underwritten substantially in accordance with the related underwriting criteria specified herein.  See “—The Originators” below.  All other Mortgage Loans were underwritten substantially in accordance with the underwriting criteria described herein under “The Originators—General Underwriting Guidelines”.  The Servicers will generally service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to their respective Purchase and Servicing Agreements with the Seller, which agreements, as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, have been assigned to the Trustee, on behalf of the Issuing Entity.  JPMCB, as servicer, and CHF, as subservicer, may service certain mortgage loans originated by other Originators pursuant to the JPMCB Servicing Agreement.

All of the Mortgage Loans provide for payments due on the first day of each month.  Due to the provisions for monthly advances by the applicable Servicer, scheduled payments made by the borrowers either earlier or later than the scheduled Due Dates thereof will not affect the amortization schedule or the relative application of such payments to principal and interest.  A portion of the Mortgage Loans do not include prepayment penalties for early voluntary prepayments in full or in part.

All Mortgage Loans with Loan-to-Value Ratios greater than 80% at origination that were not supported by a third-party guarantee or additional collateral were covered by a primary mortgage insurance policy.  No assurance can be given that the value of any Mortgaged Property has remained or will remain at the level that existed on the appraisal or sales date.  If residential real estate values generally or in a particular geographic area decline, the Loan-to-Value Ratios might not be a reliable indicator of the rates of delinquencies, foreclosures and losses that could occur with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

The term sheet and related prospectus supplement may contain important information about the mortgage loans in each Pool, subject to a variance, including:

·

the Mortgage Rates and the original principal balances of the Mortgage Loans;

·

the Loan-to-Value Ratios of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date;

·

the types of Mortgaged Properties;

·

the geographic distribution by state of the Mortgaged Properties;

·

the weighted average remaining term to maturity of the Mortgage Loans;

·

the original terms to maturity of the Mortgage Loans;

·

the stated owner occupancy status of the Mortgaged Properties when the Mortgage Loans were originated;

·

the mortgagor’s purpose of financing; and

·

the weighted average credit score.


The Pledged Asset Loans

Any PHH Mortgage Loans that have a Loan-to-Value Ratio generally in excess of 80% and are not covered by a primary mortgage insurance policy will be either (i) secured by a security interest in additional collateral (usually securities) owned by the borrower or (ii) supported by a third party guarantee (usually a parent of the borrower), which in turn is secured by a security interest in additional collateral (normally securities) or by a lien on residential real estate of the guarantor and/or supported by the right to draw on a home equity line of credit extended by PHH Mortgage or another lender to the guarantor.  The amount of the Pledged Assets securing a Pledged Asset Loan generally equals the down payment or equity required by PHH Mortgage. The requirement to maintain Pledged Assets generally terminates when the principal balance of such Pledged Asset Loan is reduced to a predetermined amount set forth in the related pledge agreement or guaranty agreement, as applicable, or when the loan-to-value ratio for such Pledged Asset Loan is reduced to the applicable loan-to-value ratio limit for such loan by virtue of an increase in the appraised value of the mortgaged property securing such loan as determined by PHH Mortgage.

If the Mortgage Loans include any such loans, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor will have assigned to the Issuing Entity its rights under the Limited Purpose Surety Bond.  The Limited Purpose Surety Bond will not cover any payments on the Certificates that are recoverable or sought to be recovered as a voidable preference under applicable law.

No assurance can be given as to the amount of proceeds, if any, that might be realized from Pledged Assets.  Proceeds from the liquidation of any Pledged Assets will be included in net proceeds only when permitted by applicable state law and by the terms of the related pledge or guaranty agreement, as applicable.

The Indices

The Mortgage Rate for all of the Mortgage Loans will be adjusted semi-annually or annually on the related adjustment date to a rate based on the related index plus a margin.  The index in each case is the Six-Month LIBOR index, the 1-Year LIBOR index, or the 1-Year CMT index.

Assignment of the Mortgage Loans

Under the Assignment Agreements, the Seller will sell the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor and the Depositor will sell the Mortgage Loans to the Issuing Entity.  Pursuant to the Assignment Agreements, the Seller will transfer to the Depositor and the Depositor will transfer to the Trustee its rights under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements with respect to certain representations, warranties and covenants made by the Originators relating to, among other things, certain characteristics of the Mortgage Loans.  Pursuant to the Reconstitution Agreements, the applicable Originator will represent that the representations and warranties relating to the origination of the related Mortgage Loans are true and correct as of the Closing Date.  In addition, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller will make certain representations, warranties and covenants relating to certain characteristics of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date.  An Originator or the Seller will be obligated to purchase or substitute a similar mortgage loan for any Defective Mortgage Loan as described in “The Agreements — Assignment of the Issuing Entity Assets” in the accompanying prospectus and “The Issuing Entity — Representations by Sellers or Originators; Repurchases” in the accompanying prospectus.

Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Closing Date the Depositor will sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the Trustee, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, all of its rights to the Mortgage Loans and its rights under the Assignment Agreements (including the right to enforce the Originators’ purchase obligations).  The obligations of the Originators and the Seller with respect to the Certificates are limited to their respective obligations to purchase or substitute for Defective Mortgage Loans.

Please review the additional material for additional information concerning the Mortgage Loans.

STATIC POOL INFORMATION

The depositor will make available any of the sponsor’s material static pool information as required under the SEC’s rules and regulations.  The static pool information material to this offering of certificates is located at http://www.jpmorgan.com/staticpool/mbs/JPMMT2006-A5.  The static pool information includes (i) information about the original characteristics of each prior securitized pool as of the cut-off date for that pool and (ii) delinquency, loss and prepayment information about each prior securitized pool.

THE ORIGINATORS

General

A portion of the Mortgage Loans were originated by PHH Mortgage and the Chase Originators.  As of the date of the term sheet, no other Originator originated more than 10% of the Mortgage Loans in any Aggregate Pool or Segregated Pool.

The Mortgage Loans have been acquired directly or indirectly by the Seller from the Originators in the ordinary course of its business pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreements.  The Chase Originator Mortgage Loans and the PHH Mortgage Loans were underwritten substantially in accordance with the underwriting criteria specified in this section for the related Originator.  Any other Mortgage Loans were underwritten substantially in accordance with the underwriting criteria described below under “—General Underwriting Guidelines”.  The information set forth below with respect to PHH Mortgage has been provided by PHH Mortgage.

General Underwriting Guidelines

Underwriting standards are applied by or on behalf of a lender to evaluate a borrower’s credit standing and repayment ability, and the value and adequacy of the related Mortgaged Property as collateral.  In general, a prospective borrower applying for a loan is required to fill out a detailed application designed to provide to the underwriting officer pertinent credit information.  As part of the description of the borrower’s financial condition, the borrower generally is required to provide a current list of assets and liabilities and a statement of income and expenses, as well as an authorization to apply for a credit report which summarizes the borrower’s credit history with local merchants and lenders and any record of bankruptcy.  In most cases, an employment verification is obtained from an independent source (typically the borrower’s employer), which verification reports, among other things, the length of employment with that organization, the current salary, and whether it is expected that the borrower will continue such employment in the future.  If a prospective borrower is self-employed, the borrower may be required to submit copies of signed tax returns.  The borrower may also be required to authorize verification of deposits at financial institutions where the borrower has demand or savings accounts.  See “The Trust Fund—The Loans—Underwriting Standards” in the prospectus.

A lender may also originate mortgage loans pursuant to alternative sets of underwriting criteria under reduced or limited documentation programs.  These programs are designed to facilitate the loan approval process.  Under these programs, certain documentation concerning income/employment and asset verification is reduced or excluded.  Loans underwritten under these programs are generally limited to borrowers who have demonstrated an established ability and willingness to repay the mortgage loans in a timely fashion.  Permitted maximum loan-to-value ratios under these programs are generally more restrictive than those under the lender’s standard underwriting criteria.

Based on the data provided in the application and certain verification (if required), a determination is made by the original lender that the mortgagor’s monthly income (if required to be stated) will be sufficient to enable the mortgagor to meet the monthly payments on the mortgage loan and other expenses related to the property such as property taxes, utility costs, standard hazard insurance and other fixed obligations other than housing expenses. Generally, scheduled payments on a mortgage loan during the first year of its term plus taxes and insurance and all scheduled payments on obligations that extend beyond ten months equal no more than a specified percentage of the prospective mortgagor’s gross income. The percentage applied varies on a case by case basis depending on a number of underwriting criteria, including the LTV ratio of the mortgage loan. The originator may also consider the amount of liquid assets available to the mortgagor after origination.

The adequacy of the mortgaged property as security for repayment of the related mortgage loan will generally have been determined by an appraisal in accordance with pre-established appraisal procedure guidelines for appraisals established by or acceptable to the originator. All appraisals conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and must be on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac. Appraisers may be staff appraisers employed by the originator or independent appraisers selected in accordance with pre-established appraisal procedure guidelines established by the originator. The appraisal procedure guidelines generally will have required the appraiser or an agent on its behalf to personally inspect the property and to verify whether the property was in good condition and that construction, if new, had been substantially completed. The appraisal generally will have been based upon a market data analysis of recent sales of comparable properties and, when deemed applicable, an analysis based on income generated from the property or a replacement cost analysis based on the current cost of constructing or purchasing a similar property.  Under some reduced documentation programs, the originator may rely on the original appraised value of the mortgaged property in connection with a refinance by an existing mortgagor.

From time to time, exceptions to a lender’s underwriting policies may be made.  Such exceptions may be made on a loan-by-loan basis at the discretion of the lender’s underwriter.  Exceptions may be made after careful consideration of certain mitigating factors such as borrower liquidity, employment and residential stability and local economic conditions.

Set forth below is certain information with respect to PHH Mortgage and the Chase Originators and a summary of the underwriting guidelines utilized with respect to each such Originator.  No other Originator originated or acquired more than 20% of the Mortgage Loans in any Aggregate Pool or Segregated Pool.

The Chase Originators

The information set forth in this section of the supplemental term sheet has been provided by the Chase Originators.

General.  The Chase Originator Mortgage Loans were originated by JPMCB  generally using underwriting guidelines as set forth below.  See “Underwriting Guidelines.”  JPMCB is a wholly owned bank subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co.  (“JPMorgan Chase”), a Delaware corporation whose principal office is located in New York, New York.  JPMCB is a commercial bank offering a wide range of banking services to its customers, both domestically and internationally.  It is chartered and its business is subject to examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

As of March 31, 2006, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, had total assets of $1,093.4 billion, total net loans of $408.1 billion, total deposits of $581.3 billion, and total stockholder’s equity of $87.4 billion.  These figures are extracted from JPMCB’s unaudited Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income as of March 31, 2006, which are filed with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Prior to January 1, 2005, JPMCB formed Chase Home Finance LLC (“CHF”), a wholly-owned, Delaware limited liability company.

CHF acquired the Chase Originator Mortgage Loans immediately after the origination by JPMCB.  CHF (or a predecessor in interest) has been originating or acquiring mortgage loans for over 50 years and has been originating or acquiring mortgage loans similar to the Chase Originator Mortgage Loans at least since 1998.  CHF originated approximately $173.6 billion, $94.6 billion and $85.4 billion of mortgage loans during 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.  As of March 31, 2006, CHF had originated $17.5 billion of mortgage loans during 2006.

Underwriting Guidelines.  The following is a description of the underwriting policies customarily employed by CHF with respect to residential mortgage loans which it originated during the period of origination of the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loans originated by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association during such period were also originated using such underwriting policies.  The Chase Originators have represented to the Seller that, except for a limited number of the Chase Originator Mortgage Loans, the Chase Originator Mortgage Loans were originated generally in accordance with such policies.  References to Mortgage Loans in this section refer to the Chase Originator Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by the Chase Originators in accordance with the underwriting guidelines described below.

The Mortgage Loans were originated in a manner generally consistent, except as to loan amounts, with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac published underwriting guidelines.  CHF believes that each Mortgage Loan originated in such a manner generally meets the credit, appraisal and underwriting standards described in such published underwriting guidelines, except for the original principal balances of such Mortgage Loans.  Initially, a prospective borrower is required to fill out an application designed to provide pertinent information about the borrower’s assets, liabilities, income and credit, the property to be financed and the type of loan desired. CHF obtains a three-file merged credit report for each borrower, which summarizes each repository’s credit score, credit history and depth, and any derogatory public records.  The middle of three credit scores is used if there is a single applicant and the lower of both middle credit scores is used if there are joint applicants.  In addition, CHF verifies employment, income and assets. Self-employed prospective borrowers are generally required to submit their federal income tax returns for the last two years and in certain cases a separate statement of income and expenses independently verified by a third party.

Once the necessary information is received, a determination is made as to whether the prospective borrower has sufficient monthly income available to meet the borrower’s monthly obligations on the proposed loan and other expenses related to the residence (such as property taxes and insurance) as well as to meet other financial obligations and monthly living expenses. For loans with a loan-to-value ratio of 80% or less, CHF’s lending guidelines require that all current fixed obligations of the borrower (including mortgage payments based on CHF’s mortgage rates at the time of the application and other expenses related to the residence) generally may not exceed 40% of the borrower’s gross income in the case of a borrower with income of under $75,000, 42% of the borrower’s gross income in the case of a borrower with income of between $75,000 and $150,000 and 44% of the borrower’s gross income in the case of a borrower with income in excess of $150,000. For interest-only mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio between 80.01% and 90%, CHF’s lending guidelines require that the mortgage payments (based on CHF’s mortgage rates at the time of application) plus applicable real property taxes, any condominium common charges and hazard insurance, as well as all other monthly obligations (revolving debt, car payments, etc.), generally may not exceed 40% of the borrower’s gross income.  For amortizing adjustable rate mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80.01% with a Minimum Credit Risk Score of 620-659, CHF’s lending guidelines require that the mortgage payments (based on CHF’s mortgage rates at the time of application) may not exceed 36% of the borrower’s gross income. For amortizing adjustable rate mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80.01% with a Minimum Credit Risk Score greater than or equal to 660, CHF’s lending guidelines require that the mortgage payments (based on CHF’s mortgage rates at the time of application) may not exceed 40% of the borrower’s gross income.  Other credit considerations may cause CHF to depart from these guidelines in certain cases.  Where there are two individuals signing the mortgage note, the income and debts of both are included in the computation.

Pursuant to CHF’s Reduced Documentation Program, written verification of the borrower’s income is not required. In order to qualify for the program, the borrower must satisfy a 20% down-payment requirement from the borrower’s own assets. These assets are verified through bank statements and may be supplemented by third-party verification. A residential mortgage credit report, or “in file” report, is obtained and reviewed to determine the borrower’s repayment history. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of any mortgage loan originated under this program is approximately 80% (65% for “cash out” refinancings).

Pursuant to CHF’s Streamlined Refinance Program, verification and documentation of application information is reduced for borrowers who refinance fully amortizing mortgage loans serviced by CHF.  In order to qualify for this refinance program, the borrower must have demonstrated overall creditworthiness as defined in the program guides.  In addition, a documented servicing record with respect to such borrower of at least 24 months must be available.  If there are multiple lenders during such 24 month period, CHF must have been the servicer for at least the most recent 12 months.  

Pursuant to CHF’s “No Doc” program, no employment information, sources of income, income amount or assets are disclosed.  Additionally, employment verification is not required.  The underwriting for such mortgage loans is based primarily or entirely on a stronger credit profile (evidenced by a higher minimum FICO credit risk score), a lower maximum product limit and additional due diligence performed on the collateral.

“Stated Income Stated Asset Program” (which is sometimes referred to as “Simply Signature”) is CHF’s “reactive” program.  While income and assets are not verified, eligibility and approval are determined by CHF’s automated underwriting system and are based on a stronger borrower credit history and profile.

CHF requires an appraisal (which in certain circumstances may be a confirmation of an existing appraisal) to be made of each property to be financed. The appraisal is conducted by an independent fee appraiser who visits the property and estimates its market value. The independent appraisers do not receive any compensation dependent upon either the amount of the loan or its consummation. In normal practice, the lower of purchase price or appraised value determines the maximum amount which will be advanced against the property.  For certain jumbo loans in high value markets, the lower value of two appraisals would be used if certain dollar amounts and loan-to-value thresholds are exceeded.

From time to time, exceptions and/or variances to CHF’s underwriting policies may be made.  Such exceptions and/or variances may be made only if specifically approved on a loan-by-loan basis by certain credit and-underwriting personnel of the CHF who have the authority to make such exceptions and/or variances. Exceptions and/or variances may be made only after careful consideration of certain mitigating factors such as borrower capacity, liquidity, employment and residential stability and local economic conditions.

CHF obtains a search of the liens of record to which the property being financed is subject at the time of origination.  Title insurance is required in the case of all mortgage loans.

PHH Mortgage Corporation

The information set forth in this section of the supplemental term sheet has been provided by PHH Mortgage.


PHH Mortgage, a New Jersey corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of PHH Corporation.  PHH Mortgage is a centralized mortgage lender, which provides residential mortgage banking services in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the United States Virgin Islands.  PHH Mortgage’s business consists primarily of the acquisition/origination, sale and servicing of residential first- and second-lien mortgage loans.  PHH Mortgage is qualified to do business (to the extent qualification is required) in each state where its mortgage program is offered.  It maintains licenses in various states as a real estate or mortgage broker, and/or as a mortgage banker, and/or as a first or second mortgage lender, as applicable.  It also has the following approvals: HUD nonsupervised one-to four-family mortgagee; FHA approved mortgagee; Fannie Mae first and second mortgage one-to four-family seller/servicer; Freddie Mac first and second mortgage one-to four-family seller/servicer; GNMA mortgage backed securities issuer under the GNMA I and GNMA II single family programs; and supervised VA lender.

On January 31, 2005, PHH Corporation completed the previously announced spin-off from Cendant Corporation.  Shares of PHH Corporation common stock were distributed to Cendant Corporation shareholders in the form of a tax-free stock dividend. PHH Corporation shares began “regular way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange on February 1, 2005.  In connection with the spin-off, certain subsidiaries of Cendant Corporation entered into agreements with PHH Corporation and certain of its mortgage subsidiaries for the purpose of forming a venture intended to originate mortgage loans for customers of Cendant Corporation's real estate brokerage and relocation businesses.

PHH Mortgage maintains its executive offices at 3000 Leadenhall Road, Mt.  Laurel, New Jersey 08054, and its telephone number is (856) 917-6000.

PHH Mortgage purchases, originates, sells and services residential mortgages in the United States via the following channels:

Financial Institutions Channel: PHH Mortgage is a leading provider of “private label” mortgage origination and servicing for financial institutions and other entities. Through this channel, PHH Mortgage offers a complete outsourcing solution, from processing applications through funding to secondary market sales of loans and ongoing servicing, for clients that want to offer mortgage services to customers, but are not equipped to handle all aspects of the process cost-effectively.

Real Estate Brokers Channel: PHH Mortgage works with real estate brokers to provide their customers mortgage loans. As a result of these affiliations with real estate brokers, PHH Mortgage has access to home buyers at the time of purchase. Through this channel, mortgage products are marketed to customers of Cendant Corporation’s real estate brokerage and relocation businesses through a joint venture between certain subsidiaries of Cendant Corporation and PHH Corporation and certain of its mortgage subsidiaries.  Additionally, PHH Mortgage works with brokers that are not affiliated with Cendant Corporation.

Substantially all of the origination and acquisition activities are conducted by PHH Mortgage from centralized facilities located in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, Jacksonville, Florida and in East Providence, Rhode Island.  PHH Mortgage offers mortgages through the following platforms:

Teleservices.  Mortgages are offered to consumers through a toll-free number teleservices operation based in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, Jacksonville, Florida and East Providence, Rhode Island under programs for real estate organizations (Phone In, Move In® ), private label programs for financial institutions, and for relocation clients in conjunction with the operations of Cendant MobilitySM, a relocation business, and a leading provider of employee relocation services.

In its teleservices operations, PHH Mortgage and certain subsidiaries employ “mortgage consultants” that receive applications over the telephone, and thereafter refer the origination of the loan to “loan processors” for processing.  Mortgage consultants are not involved in the process once the loan is referred to a loan processor.  The mortgage consultant has no role in the selection of the loan processor, the selection of the appraiser or any other underwriting function.  Loan processors are compensated with a base salary plus incentive bonus, and are evaluated in large part based on customer feedback.

Internet.  Mortgage information is offered to consumers through a web interface that is owned by PHH Mortgage.  The web interface contains educational materials, rate quotes and a full mortgage application.  This content is made available to the customers of partner organizations, including Century 21®, Coldwell Banker®, ERA® and Cendant MobilitySM.  In addition, PHH Mortgage developed and launched its own online brand—InstaMortgage.comSM in 1999.  Applications from online customers are processed via PHH Mortgage’s teleservices platform.

Field Sales Professionals.  Mortgages are offered to consumers through field sales professionals with all processing, underwriting and other origination activities based in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, Jacksonville, Florida and East Providence, Rhode Island.  These field sales professionals generally are located in real estate offices or financial institutions around the United States and are equipped with software to obtain product information, quote interest rates and prepare a mortgage application with the consumer.  Once the field sales professional forwards the application for processing, the loan package is assigned to a loan processor. The professional is kept informed of the process, but is generally uninvolved in the processing of the loan.  The field sales professional generally has no role in the selection of the loan processor, the selection of the appraiser or any other underwriting function.

Closed Loan Purchases.  This platform is also known as the wholesale/correspondent platform.  PHH Mortgage generally underwrites and (i) partially processes and closes and/or (ii) purchases closed loans from financial institutions and mortgage banks.  These include banks, credit unions and other mortgage companies that are affiliated with real estate brokerage organizations.  PHH Mortgage approves all of its wholesalers/correspondents after a thorough review of the entity’s corporate, financial and licensing information.

Wholesale.  PHH Mortgage underwrites, closes and funds the processed loans after submission by the broker/wholesaler.

Correspondent.  PHH Mortgage purchases closed loans.  One platform requires that PHH Mortgage underwrite loans prior to purchasing and the other platform delegates the underwriting authority to the correspondent.

PHH Mortgage has been an originator of mortgage loans since 1978 and has originated first-lien prime adjustable-rate mortgage loans since 1994.  The following table describes size, composition and growth of PHH Mortgage’s total residential mortgage loan production as of the periods ended indicated below.

PHH Mortgage


PHH Mortgage’s underwriting standards have been established based upon its knowledge of the primary and secondary residential mortgage markets.  They are intended to originate investment-quality mortgage loans that are salable in the secondary mortgage market.  They are applied in originating or purchasing loans for its own account, and in originating loans for, or purchasing loans from, other lenders under various “private-label” programs.  The application of the underwriting standards represent a balancing of several factors that may affect the ultimate recovery of the loan amount, including but not limited to, the applicant’s credit standing and ability to repay the loan, as well as the value and adequacy of the mortgaged property as collateral.  PHH Mortgage may adapt its underwriting guidelines based upon the nature of a specific private-label relationship.

General Underwriting Procedure

The following describes the general underwriting procedures used for mortgage loans originated or purchased, and underwritten by PHH Mortgage.  From time to time, exceptions to PHH Mortgage’s underwriting policies may be made.  Such exceptions are made on a loan-by-loan basis only at the discretion of PHH Mortgage’s underwriters and may be made only after careful consideration of certain compensating factors such as borrower capacity, liquidity, equity, employment and residential stability.

PHH Mortgage’s underwriting guidelines are applied to evaluate an applicant’s credit standing, financial condition, and repayment ability, as well as the value and adequacy of the mortgaged property as collateral for any loan made.  As part of the loan application process, the applicant is required to provide information concerning his or her assets, liabilities, income and expenses (except as described below), along with an authorization to obtain any necessary third party verifications, including a credit report summarizing the applicant’s credit history.  Unless prohibited by applicable state law, the applicant is typically required to pay an application fee if application is made directly to PHH Mortgage.

PHH Mortgage makes substantial use of automated underwriting systems and procedures in implementing its underwriting guidelines.  These systems are used in conjunction with PHH Mortgage’s underwriting staff and control the loan approval process to ensure consistent loan decisioning and conditioning.  

In evaluating the applicant’s ability and willingness to repay the proposed loan, PHH Mortgage reviews the applicant’s credit history and outstanding debts, as reported on the credit report.  If an existing mortgage or other significant debt listed on the loan application is not adequately reported on the credit report, PHH Mortgage may request a written or oral verification of the balance and payment history of such debt from the servicer of such debt.

Except as described below, PHH Mortgage verifies the applicant’s liquid assets to ensure that the client has adequate liquid assets to apply toward any required down payment, closing costs, prepaid interest, and a specified amount of cash reserves after the closing of the related mortgage.  Additional liquid assets may not be verified.

Except as described below, PHH Mortgage also evaluates the applicant’s income to determine its stability, probability of continuation, and adequacy to service the proposed PHH Mortgage debt payment.  

In determining the adequacy of the property as collateral for a first lien mortgage loan, a Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac conforming appraisal of the property is performed by an independent appraiser selected by PHH Mortgage, except as noted in this supplemental term sheet.  The appraiser is required to inspect the property and verify that it is in good condition and that construction or renovation, if new, has been completed.  The appraisal report indicates a value for the property and provides information concerning marketability, the neighborhood, the property site, interior and exterior improvements, and the condition of the property.  In lieu of an appraisal, alternative collateral assessment products which comply with Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac criteria may be used.

In many cases, the appraisal is obtained through a network of appraisers managed by STARSSM (Speedy Title Appraisal and Review Services), a corporation owned by the same parent company as PHH Mortgage that was originally established to support the Cendant Mobility relocation program with appraisals obtained for relocation transactions (that is, transfers that require an accurate price estimate in the absence of a current sale transaction).  In certain cases, PHH Mortgage may employ the use of a third party statistical valuation in lieu of an appraisal.

Credit scores are obtained by PHH Mortgage in connection with mortgage loan applications to help assess a borrower’s credit-worthiness.  On an exception basis, credit scores may be obtained by PHH Mortgage after the purchase of a mortgage loan if the related seller does not provide a credit score.  Credit scores are obtained from credit reports provided by various credit reporting organizations, each of which may employ differing computer models and methodologies.

The credit score is designed to assess a borrower’s credit history at a single point in time, using objective information currently on file for the borrower at a particular credit reporting organization.  These organizations publish scores ranging from approximately 350 to approximately 840, with higher scores indicating an individual with a more favorable credit history compared to an individual with a lower score.  However, a credit score purports only to be a measurement of the relative degree of risk a borrower represents to a lender, i.e., a borrower with a higher score is statistically expected to be less likely to default in payment than a borrower with a lower score.  In addition, it should be noted that credit scores were developed to indicate a level of default probability over a two-year period, which does not correspond to the life of a mortgage loan.  Furthermore, credit scores were not developed specifically for use in connection with mortgage loans, but for consumer loans in general, and assess only the borrower’s past credit history.  Therefore, in most cases, a credit score does not take into consideration the differences between mortgage loans and consumer loans, or the specific characteristics of the related mortgage loan, including the LTV ratio, the collateral for the mortgage loan, or the debt-to-income ratio. There can be no assurance that the credit scores of the mortgagors will be an accurate predictor of the likelihood of repayment of the related mortgage loans or that any mortgagor’s credit score would not be lower if obtained as of the date of the prospectus supplement.

For all first lien mortgage loans, a title report generally must be obtained.  Generally, all liens must be satisfied and removed prior to or upon the closing of any of the mortgage loans.  Where applicable, in addition to providing proof of standard hazard insurance on the property, the applicant is required to obtain, to the extent available, flood insurance when the subject property is identified as being in a federally designated flood hazard area.

Once sufficient employment, credit and property information is obtained, the decision as to whether to approve the loan is based upon the applicant’s income and credit history, the status of title to the mortgaged property, and the appraised value of the mortgaged property.  PHH Mortgage also reviews the level of an applicant’s liquid assets as an indication of creditworthiness.

PHH Mortgage encourages borrowers to agree to make their monthly payments through automated clearing house (ACH) debits from an established bank account, as a way to improve the rate of timely payments on its loan portfolio.

PHH Mortgage Corporation’s Underwriting Standards

The following underwriting guidelines are used by PHH Mortgage in originating or purchasing first lien mortgage loans for its own account, and in originating loans for, or purchasing loans from, other lenders under various private label programs.  Loan applicants may be eligible for a loan approval process permitting less documentation.  These documentation standards limit the amount of documentation required for an underwriting decision and have the effect of increasing the relative importance of the credit report and the appraisal.  See “Other Documentation Standards” below.

PHH Mortgage originates mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80% either with or without the requirement to obtain primary mortgage insurance.  In cases where primary mortgage insurance is obtained it may be paid for either by the borrower or by PHH Mortgage.  In cases for which such primary mortgage insurance is not obtained, loans having loan-to-value ratios exceeding 80% (i) will have been made at an interest rate that was higher than the rate would have been had the loan-to-value ratios been 80% or less or had primary mortgage insurance been obtained or (ii) are required to have pledged assets securing such loans.  See “Pledged Asset Loans.”

Full Documentation Standards

The underwriting standards of PHH Mortgage for first lien mortgage loans generally allow loan-to-value ratios at origination of up to 95% for mortgage loans.  However, certain programs allow mortgage loans that had loan-to-value ratios at origination of up to 100%.

In determining whether a prospective borrower has sufficient monthly income available

·

to meet the borrower’s monthly obligation on the proposed mortgage loan and

·

to meet monthly housing expenses and other financial obligations including the borrower’s monthly obligations on the proposed mortgage loan,

PHH Mortgage generally applies debt service-to-income ratios of up to 50% of the proposed borrower’s acceptable stable monthly gross income.  Under certain programs, however, PHH Mortgage makes loans where these ratios are up to 60%.  

PHH Mortgage’s guidelines for verifying an applicant’s income and employment are generally as follows:

·

for salaried applicants, PHH Mortgage typically requires a written verification of employment from the applicant’s employer, or a copy of the applicant’s two most recent IRS forms 1040 or W-2, a current pay stub, and verbal verification of employment. Verbal verification of employment is typically obtained directly from the applicant’s employer, but in certain circumstances, may be fulfilled by contacting the applicant at his or her place of business.  Verifications of income may be waived under certain programs offered by PHH Mortgage, but PHH Mortgage’s underwriting guidelines require, in most instances, a verbal or written verification of employment to be obtained;

·

for non-salaried applicants, including self-employed applicants, PHH Mortgage requires copies of the applicant’s two most recent federal income tax returns and business tax returns for self-employed applicants, if necessary, along with all supporting schedules.  In some cases, PHH Mortgage may waive submission of such supporting schedules if this income is insignificant in relation to the applicant’s overall income, or does not affect the applicant’s ability to qualify for the proposed loan. A self-employed applicant is generally required to submit a signed profit and loss statement if the applicant’s income shows significant variations from year to year.

Other Documentation Standards

PHH Mortgage also originates mortgage loans pursuant to alternative sets of underwriting criteria under its reduced documentation program (“Reduced Documentation Program”), stated income, stated asset program (“Stated Income, Stated Asset Program”), stated income, full asset program (“Stated Income Full Asset Program”), no income, stated asset program (“No Income Stated Asset Program”) and rate and term refinance limited documentation program (“Streamlined Documentation Program”). Under the Reduced Documentation Program, Stated Income, Stated Asset Program, Stated Income Full Asset Program and No Income Stated Asset Program, certain documentation concerning income/employment and asset verification is reduced or excluded.  Each of these programs is designed to facilitate the loan approval process.

Under the Streamlined Documentation Program, which is generally available only to the loans in PHH Mortgage’s portfolio having no mortgage delinquencies in the past 12 months, rate and term refinance loans are underwritten based solely on the original appraisal and limited credit verification, if any.  Although no current appraisal of the property is obtained with respect to the origination of these mortgage loans, a “drive-by” appraisal may be obtained in certain cases and the loan-to-value ratio generally may not exceed the original loan-to-value ratio at origination.

Another program (the “Liquidity Program”) provides for expedited processing on certain loans based on the risk profile of the loan.  During the origination process, PHH Mortgage conducts an assessment of the risk profile of the prospective borrower and subject property to determine the level of income verification required to process the loan.  Under the Liquidity Program, loans are categorized into different processing tracks based upon their overall risk profile, as evidenced by the loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, borrower credit profile, the liquidity ratio (as described below), type of property, occupancy status, and proposed loan amount.  For loans that demonstrate the lowest level of risk based upon this categorization, the borrower may not be required to disclose his or her income in order for PHH Mortgage to process the loan.  The liquidity ratio used in this program is defined as the total amount of a borrower’s liquid assets, as verified by PHH Mortgage, divided by the total amount of the proposed loan.  For example, a borrower with $500,000 in verified liquid assets who is requesting a $250,000 loan amount would have a 2.0 liquidity ratio.  Liquid assets are generally defined as cash and cash equivalents, marginable marketable securities, and retirement accounts.  Business assets are generally not considered part of a borrower’s liquid assets unless the business is 100% owned by the borrower.  The liquidity ratio generally excludes all assets that are pledged or margined, estimated funds required for closing, annuities, concentrated equity positions if the share price is less than $10 and any stock options or unvested shares of stock.  PHH Mortgage believes that the accumulation of net worth, particularly in the form of liquid assets, is a strong indication of creditworthiness.  A borrower who accumulates net worth from earnings and savings demonstrates a strong ability to manage his or her financial affairs.  If the net worth is in liquid form, it can potentially be used to service the proposed debt, to pay unexpected debts that may occur, and to protect against short-term interruptions of income.  The level of income documentation required by the Liquidity Program is determined by the combination of the borrower’s credit score and overall credit profile, liquidity ratio, and the loan-to-value ratio of the proposed loan.  Using predetermined parameters based upon the combination of these factors, adjusted for the property type and occupancy status, PHH Mortgage may require the following different levels of income disclosure and verification:

·

no income disclosure with no verification of income required;

·

debt-to-income ratio calculated based on stated income from the borrower, with no verification of income required; or

income disclosure and verification using streamlined/alternate documentation.

The mortgage loans may include loans made to corporations, partnerships, and trustees of certain trusts in connection with applications which have been received from individuals.  These loans are generally structured as follows:

·

the loan is made to the individual applicant, secured by a mortgage or deed of trust  from the entity; or

·

the loan is made to the entity, secured by a mortgage or deed of trust from the entity and guaranteed by the individual applicant; or

·

the loan is made jointly to the individual applicant and the entity, secured by a mortgage or deed of trust from the entity.

In these cases, PHH Mortgage applies its standard underwriting criteria to the property and the individual applicant.  These loans are generally categorized as owner-occupied if the individual applicant states in the application that, as of the closing of the related loan, the property will be occupied by one or more applicants.

The mortgage loans may include loans to borrowers who are non-resident aliens in the United States.  In general, PHH Mortgage applies the same underwriting guidelines to these borrowers as under its standard mortgage programs.  PHH Mortgage may limit the loan-to-value ratio on these loans if adequate income and credit information is not available.

In addition, PHH Mortgage originates certain mortgage loans (“Relocation Mortgage Loans”) made to employees of corporations who have a substantial portion of the costs related to the mortgage loan reimbursed by their employer.  Some of the expenses eligible for consideration include closing costs and discount points or real estate commissions.  Relocation Mortgage Loans are otherwise originated pursuant to the PHH Mortgage’s underwriting policies as described herein.

Pledged Asset Loans

Certain mortgage loans that have a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80% and are not covered by a primary mortgage insurance policy may be also either (i) secured by a security interest in pledged assets (normally securities) owned by the borrower or (ii) supported by a third party guarantee (usually a parent of the borrower), which in turn is secured by a security interest in pledged assets (normally securities) or by a lien on residential real estate of the guarantor and/or supported by the right to draw on a home equity line of credit extended by PHH Mortgage or another lender to the guarantor.  The amount of such pledged assets securing such pledged asset loan generally equals the down payment or equity required by PHH Mortgage.  The requirement to maintain pledged assets generally terminates when the principal balance of such pledged asset loan is reduced to a predetermined amount set forth in the related pledge agreement or guaranty agreement, as applicable, or when the LTV for such pledged asset loan is reduced to the applicable loan-to-value ratio limit for such loan by virtue of an increase in the appraised value of the mortgaged property securing such loan as determined by PHH Mortgage.


DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES

General

On the Closing Date the Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Set forth below are summaries of the specific terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The following summaries are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  

The Certificates will be issued in the initial Class Principal Amounts set forth in the prospectus supplement.  The initial Class Principal Amounts of each class may be increased or decreased by up to 5% to the extent that the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is increased or decreased as described at “Description of the Mortgage Pools.”

The Offered Certificates (other than the residual certificates) will be issued in minimum denominations in principal amounts of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.  The residual certificates will be issued as a single instrument in fully registered, definitive form, representing the entire principal amount of such Certificate.  

The Certificates represent beneficial ownership interests in the Issuing Entity, the assets of which on the Closing Date will consist primarily of (1) the Mortgage Loans; (2) such assets as from time to time are identified as deposited in respect of the Mortgage Loans in the Custodial Accounts and the Distribution Account (see “— Payments on Mortgage Loans; Accounts” below); (3) the Issuing Entity’s rights under the Assignment Agreements pursuant to which the Seller and the Depositor assigned their respective interests in the underlying mortgage loan Purchase and Servicing Agreements with respect to the Mortgage Loans originally entered into between the Seller and the Originators; (4) property acquired by foreclosure of the Mortgage Loans or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (5) any applicable insurance policies; and (6) the proceeds of all of the foregoing.  In addition, the rights under certain pledged collateral accounts and the Limited Purpose Surety Bond with respect to the Pledged Asset Loans will be assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  See “Description of the Mortgage Pools — The Pledged Asset Loans.”  The Pledged Assets will not be part of any REMIC.

Solely for purposes of determining distributions of interest and principal on the Senior Certificates, the Senior Certificates will be divided into Certificate Groups relating to their applicable Mortgage Pool.

The Subordinate Certificates may be classified as follows:

AGGREGATE POOL SUBORDINATE CERTIFICATES: Distributions of interest and principal on Aggregate Pool Subordinate Classes will be based solely on interest and principal, as applicable, received on, or advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related Aggregate Pool.

SEGREGATED POOL SUBORDINATE CERTIFICATES: Distributions of interest and principal on the Segregated Pool Subordinate Classes will be based solely on interest and principal, as applicable, received on, or advanced with respect to, the Segregated Pool Mortgage Loans.

Distributions on the Certificates will be made by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, on each Distribution Date, to the persons in whose names such Certificates are registered on the related Record Date.

Payments on each Distribution Date will be made by check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder entitled thereto as it appears on the applicable certificate register or, in the case of a Certificateholder who holds any residual certificate or who holds Certificates with an aggregate initial Class Principal Amount of $1,000,000 or more and who has so notified the Securities Administrator in writing in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other depository institution having appropriate wire transfer facilities; provided, however, that the final payment in retirement of the Certificates will be made only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator.  See “Description of the Certificates— Book–Entry Certificates” in the supplemental term sheet for the method of payment to Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Certificates.

Book-Entry Certificates

General.  The Offered Certificates (other than any residual certificate) will be Book-Entry Certificates.  For a description of the procedures generally applicable to the Book-Entry Certificates, see “Description of the Securities — Book-Entry Registration of Securities” in the accompanying prospectus.

Payments on Mortgage Loans; Accounts

On or prior to the Closing Date, each Servicer will establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained a Custodial Account.  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator will establish the Distribution Account.  On the 18th day of each month (or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day), each Servicer will remit all amounts on deposit in the related Custodial Account to the Distribution Account.  On each Distribution Date, to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount for each Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Distribution Account, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions to the related Certificateholders.

As further compensation, if permitted under the related Servicing Agreement, funds credited to the Custodial Account established by a Servicer may be invested at the discretion of such Servicer for its own benefit in permitted investments.

Available Distribution Amount

Distributions of interest and principal on the Certificates will be made on each Distribution Date from the Available Distribution Amount of the related Mortgage Pool, in the case of the Senior Certificates and the Segregated Pool Subordinate Certificates and from the Available Distribution Amount of all Mortgage Pools in the related Aggregate Pool, in the case of Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates, in the order of priority set forth below at “— Priority of Distributions.”

Distributions of Interest

General.  On each Distribution Date, each class of Certificates will be entitled to the related Interest Distribution Amount.  For each Distribution Date and each related Accrual Period, interest on certain classes of Certificates may be calculated and payable on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and interest on other classes may be calculated and payable on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of the actual number of days in each accrual period.

The Current Interest for each class of Certificates for any Distribution Date will be reduced by the amount of Net Interest Shortfalls experienced by the related Mortgage Pool or Pools.  

Net Interest Shortfalls for a Mortgage Pool on any Distribution Date will be allocated among all classes of Senior Certificates of the related Certificate Group and all classes of related Subordinate Certificates proportionately based on (i) in the case of the Senior Certificates and the Segregated Pool Subordinate Certificates, Current Interest otherwise distributable thereon on such Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates, interest accrued on their Apportioned Principal Balances, in each case before taking into account any reductions in such amounts from Net Interest Shortfalls for that Distribution Date.

If on a particular Distribution Date, there is an Interest Shortfall, interest will be distributed on each Certificate of equal priority within a Certificate Group based on the pro rata amount of interest it would otherwise have been entitled to receive in the absence of such shortfall.  Any unpaid interest amount will be carried forward and added to the amount which holders of each such class of Certificates will be entitled to receive on the next Distribution Date.  An Interest Shortfall could occur, for example, if losses realized on the Mortgage Loans in that Mortgage Pool were exceptionally high or were concentrated in a particular month.  Any unpaid interest amount so carried forward will not bear interest.

Determination of LIBOR

The annual certificate interest rates of any LIBOR Certificates are based upon One-Month LIBOR as quoted on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date.  If the rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, or if the service is no longer offered, or any other service for displaying One-Month LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected by the Securities Administrator, the rate will be the reference bank rate.  The reference bank rate will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the reference banks, which shall be three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London interbank market, selected by the Securities Administrator, as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two LIBOR Business Days prior to the immediately preceding Distribution Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the LIBOR Certificates.  The Securities Administrator will request the principal London office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.  If on the related date fewer than two quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York City, selected by the Securities Administrator, as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the LIBOR Certificates.  If no quotations can be obtained, the rate will be One-Month LIBOR for the prior Distribution Date.  The Securities Administrator’s calculation of One-Month LIBOR and the resulting Certificate Interest Rate on any class of LIBOR Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date shall be final and binding in the absence of manifest error.

Distributions of Principal

General.  All payments and other amounts received in respect of principal of the Mortgage Loans in an Aggregate Pool or the Segregated Pool, as applicable, may be allocated between the related Senior Certificates and the related Subordinate Certificates as follows:

Senior Principal Distribution Amount.  On each Distribution Date, the related Mortgage Pool’s Available Distribution Amount remaining after the payment of the applicable Interest Distribution Amount for the related Certificate Group will be distributed as principal on the Senior Certificates of such Certificate Group, up to the related Senior Principal Distribution Amount.  The Senior Principal Distribution Amount may, in part, be based on the Senior Prepayment Percentage for such Distribution Date for such Certificate Group, which generally allocates a disproportionate amount of unscheduled payments of principal to the Senior Certificates of a Certificate Group for the first nine, eleven or fourteen years beginning with the first Distribution Date.  This would have the effect of accelerating the amortization of such Senior Certificates while, in the absence of Realized Losses, increasing the interest evidenced by the related Subordinate Certificates in the principal balance of the related Aggregate Pool or the Segregated Pool, as applicable.  Increasing the interest of the related Subordinate Certificates relative to that of the Senior Certificates of a related Certificate Group is intended to preserve the availability of the subordination provided by the related Subordinate Certificates.

Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount.  Except as provided in the next paragraph, from the Available Distribution Amount remaining after the payment of interest and principal to the related Senior Certificates and any related Subordinate Certificate ranking in higher priority, each related class of Subordinate Certificates will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date, first, payments in respect of interest and second, its pro rata share of the related Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount.  Distributions of principal with respect to the Subordinate Certificates will be made on each Distribution Date in turn to each of the classes of Subordinate Certificates in order of their numerical class designations, until each such class has received its pro rata share for that Distribution Date.  Distributions of each such class’ share of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount from an Aggregate Pool or the Segregated Pool, as applicable, will be made only after payments of interest and principal to each related class ranking senior to such class, and interest to such class, have been paid.  See “— Priority of Distributions.”

With respect to each class of Subordinate Certificates, if on any Distribution Date the sum of the Class Subordination Percentage of that class and the aggregate Class Subordination Percentages of all related classes of Subordinate Certificates which have higher numerical class designations than that class is less than the Applicable Credit Support Percentage for that class on the date of issuance of the Certificates, no distribution of principal prepayments from the Mortgage Loans in an Aggregate Pool or the Segregated Pool, as applicable, will be made to any such classes and the amount otherwise distributable to those classes in respect of principal prepayments will be allocated among any related classes of Subordinate Certificates having lower numerical class designations than such class, pro rata, based upon their respective Class Principal Amounts, and distributed in the order described above.

Priority of Distributions

On each Distribution Date, the Available Distribution Amount from (a) the related Mortgage Pool (in the case of the Senior Certificates and the Segregated Pool Subordinate Certificates) and (b) all Mortgage Pools in the related Aggregate Pool (in the case of Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates) will be allocated among the related classes of Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates in the order of priority set forth in the related prospectus supplement.

On each Distribution Date on and after the Credit Support Depletion Date, the Available Distribution Amount for the Mortgage Pools in an Aggregate Pool will be combined and distributed to the remaining related classes of Certificates, first, to pay the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls; second, to pay principal, on a pro rata basis (on the basis of their Class Principal Amounts), on the related Certificates; and third, to the residual certificates, any remaining Available Distribution Amount from such Mortgage Pools.  

Please see the additional materials for a further description of the characteristics of the Certificates.

Limited Cross-Collateralization Among the Mortgage Pools in an Aggregate Pool

The priority of distributions in an Aggregate Pool described above in “— Priority of Distributions” will be subject to change if a Mortgage Pool in such Aggregate Pool is either subject to rapid prepayments or disproportionately high Realized Losses, as described below.

a.  Cross-Collateralization Due to Rapid Prepayments in a Mortgage Pool in an Aggregate Pool.  The priority of distributions in an Aggregate Pool will change in the case where a Mortgage Pool in such Aggregate Pool is experiencing rapid prepayments provided all the following conditions are met:

·

the aggregate Class Principal Amount of a Certificate Group in an Aggregate Pool has been reduced to zero;

·

there are the related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates still outstanding; and

·

either (i) the related Aggregate Subordinate Percentage for the related Aggregate Pool on that date is less than 200% of the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage as of the Closing Date or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in a Mortgage Pool in such Aggregate Pool delinquent 60 days or more (including, for this purpose, loans in REO, foreclosure or bankruptcy status) averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of such Mortgage Pool’s applicable Pool Subordinate Amount, is greater than or equal to 50%.

When all of these three conditions are satisfied, all principal received or advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool relating to the Certificate Group that has been paid in full, will be applied as a distribution of principal to the remaining the related Aggregate Pool Senior Certificates (pro rata, on the basis of the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Senior Certificates of the related Certificate Group), rather than applied as a principal distribution to the related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates.  Such principal will be distributed in the same priority as those the related Aggregate Pool Senior Certificates would receive other distributions of principal.

b.  Cross-Collateralization Due to Disproportionate Realized Losses in a Mortgage Pool in an Aggregate Pool.  Realized Losses in an Aggregate Pool are allocated generally to the related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates and not just to the portion of the related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates representing an interest in the Mortgage Pool that incurred the loss.  Therefore, if Realized Losses of any Mortgage Pool in an Aggregate Pool that are allocated to the related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates exceed the related Pool Subordinate Amount for that Mortgage Pool, the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans of that Mortgage Pool will be less than the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the related Certificate Group.  That is, the principal balance of Mortgage Loans in that Mortgage Pool will be less than the Class Principal Amount of the Certificate Group being supported by that collateral and, therefore, the related Certificate Group is “undercollateralized.” In that situation, payments on the Mortgage Loans in the other Mortgage Pools in such Aggregate Pool will be used to make interest and then principal distributions to the Senior Certificates related to the undercollateralized Certificate Group to the extent described below.

If, on any Distribution Date, any Certificate Group in an Aggregate Pool is an Undercollateralized Group, then until the occurrence of the Credit Support Depletion Date, the priority of distributions for such Aggregate Pool described in this supplemental term sheet under “— Priority of Distributions” will be altered as follows:

·

the Available Distribution Amount for an Overcollateralized Group, to the extent remaining following distributions of interest and principal to the related Senior Certificates of that Certificate Group will be paid in the following priority: (1) first, such amount, up to an amount for the Undercollateralized Group equal to the Total Transfer Amount will be distributed first to the Senior Certificates related to the Undercollateralized Group in payment of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and then to those Senior Certificates as principal, in the same order and priority as they would receive other distributions of principal; and (2) second, any remaining amount will be distributed as described in the related prospectus supplement.

If more than one Certificate Group in an Aggregate Pool on any Distribution Date is entitled to a Transfer Payment such Transfer Payments shall be allocated among such Certificate Groups, pro rata, on the basis of the amount by which the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the related Senior Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution Date is greater than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in that Certificate Group.  If more than one Certificate Group in an Aggregate Pool on any Distribution Date is required to make Transfer Payments, such Transfer Payments shall be allocated among such Certificate Groups, pro rata, on the basis of the Class Principal Amount of the related Senior Certificates.

The payment of interest to the Senior Certificates of an Undercollateralized Group from the interest collected on an Overcollateralized Group may cause a shortfall in the amount of principal and interest otherwise distributable to such Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates.  In addition, after the aggregate principal balance of such Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates has been reduced to zero, this may cause a shortfall of principal that would be allocated to the Senior Certificates related to the Undercollateralized Group.

Subordination of the Payment of the Subordinate Certificates

The rights of the holders of the Subordinate Certificates to receive payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be subordinated to the rights of the holders of the related Senior Certificates and the rights of the holders of each related class of Subordinate Certificates (other than the most senior class of related Subordinate Certificates) to receive such payments will be further subordinated to the rights of the related class or classes of Subordinate Certificates with lower numerical class designations, in each case only to the extent described in this supplemental term sheet.  The subordination of the Subordinate Certificates to the related Senior Certificates and the further subordination among the related Subordinate Certificates is intended to provide the Certificateholders having higher relative payment priority with protection against Realized Losses.

Allocation of Losses

Allocation of Losses – General

In determining whether a Realized Loss is a loss of principal or of interest, Liquidation Proceeds and other recoveries on a Mortgage Loan will be applied first to outstanding expenses incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan, then to accrued, unpaid interest, and finally to principal.

Modifications of the terms of a Mortgage Loan can result from a bankruptcy proceeding, including a Deficient Valuation or a Debt Service Reduction.  However, none of these bankruptcy proceedings shall be considered a Debt Service Reduction or Deficient Valuation so long as the Master Servicer or the related Servicer is pursuing any remedies that may be available with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and either the Mortgage Loan has not incurred payment default or scheduled monthly payments of principal and interest are being advanced by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer without giving effect to any Debt Service Reduction or Deficient Valuation.

In certain Mortgage Pools as specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates and Segregated Pool Subordinate Certificates will provide limited protection to the related classes of Certificates of higher relative priority against (i) Special Hazard Losses, up to the related Special Hazard Loss Coverage Amount, (ii) Bankruptcy Losses, up to the related Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount and (iii) Fraud Losses, up to the related Fraud Loss Coverage Amount.

The amount of coverage provided by the related Subordinate Certificates for Special Hazard Losses, Bankruptcy Losses and Fraud Losses on the related Mortgage Loans may be cancelled or reduced from time to time for each of the risks covered, provided that the then current ratings of the Certificates assigned by the rating agencies are not adversely affected as a result. In addition, a reserve fund or other form of credit enhancement may be substituted for the protection provided by the related Subordinate Certificates for Special Hazard Losses, Bankruptcy Losses and Fraud Losses.

Allocation of Losses –Aggregate Pool

If a Realized Loss, other than any Excess Loss, occurs on the Mortgage Loans in an Aggregate Pool, then, on each Distribution Date the principal portion of that Realized Loss will generally be allocated first, to reduce the Class Principal Amount of each class of related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of priority, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero, and second, to related Aggregate Pool Senior Certificates related to the Mortgage Pool sustaining such losses, generally, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Amounts.  As set forth in the related term sheet, Realized Losses, other than special hazard losses, bankruptcy losses and fraud losses, that would otherwise be allocated certain classes of Aggregate Pool Senior Certificates may instead be allocated to other classes of related Aggregate Pool Senior Certificates in the related Mortgage Pool, until the Class Principal Amount of such Class has been reduced to zero.  

The Class Principal Amount of the lowest ranking class of related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates then outstanding will also be reduced by Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount.

On each Distribution Date, Excess Losses on each Mortgage Pool in an Aggregate Pool will be allocated pro rata among the senior classes of the related Certificate Group and related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates as follows: (i) in the case of Aggregate Pool Senior Certificates, such Excess Loss will generally be allocated among the classes in the related Certificate Group pro rata based on their Class Principal Amounts and (ii) in the case of Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates, such Excess Loss will be allocated among the classes of Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates pro rata based on each class’ share of related Apportioned Principal Balance for the related Mortgage Pool; provided, however, on any Distribution Date after the specified related Senior Termination Date, Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in an Aggregate Pool will be allocated to the related Aggregate Pool Senior Certificates and the related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates based upon their respective Class Principal Amounts immediately prior to such Distribution Date.

Allocation of Losses – Segregated Pool

If a Realized Loss, other than any Excess Loss, occurs on the Mortgage Loans in the Segregated Pool, then, on each Distribution Date the principal portion of that Realized Loss will generally be allocated first, to reduce the Class Principal Amount of each class of Segregated Pool Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of priority, until the Class Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero, and second, to the Segregated Pool Senior Certificates, generally, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Amounts.  As set forth in the related term sheet, Realized Losses, other than special hazard losses, bankruptcy losses and fraud losses, that would otherwise be allocated certain classes of Segregated Pool Senior Certificates may instead be allocated to other classes of Segregated Pool Senior Certificates in the related Mortgage Pool, until the Class Principal Amount of such Class has been reduced to zero.  

The Class Principal Amount of the lowest ranking class of Segregated Pool Subordinate Certificates then outstanding will also be reduced by the amount, if any, by the Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount.

On each Distribution Date, Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the Segregated Pool will generally be allocated pro rata among the Certificates related to the Segregate Pool based upon their respective Class Principal Amounts immediately prior to such Distribution Date.

Please see the additional materials for a further description of the characteristics of the Certificates.

Reports to Certificateholders

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator will make available to the Trustee, the Depositor, each Certificateholder and the rating agencies a statement (based on information received from the Master Servicer and each Servicer).  For a description of the information available in this statement, please see “Reports to Securityholders” in the accompanying prospectus.

On each distribution date, the Securities Administrator will make available a report setting forth certain information with respect to the composition of the payment being made, the Certificate Principal Amount of an individual Certificate following such payment and certain other information relating to the Certificates and the mortgage loans, to be made available to each holder of Certificates and the Rating Agencies via the Securities Administrator's internet website, which can be obtained by calling the Securities Administrator's customer service desk at (800) 934-6802 and shall initially be www.usbank.com/mbs. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the Securities Administrator's customer service desk and indicating such. The Securities Administrator will have the right to change the way such reports are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties, and the Securities Administrator will provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes.

In addition, within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator will, upon request, prepare and deliver to the Depositor and each holder of a Certificate of record during the previous calendar year, a statement containing information necessary to enable holders of the certificates to prepare their tax returns.  These statements will not have been examined and reported upon by an independent public accountant.

Final Scheduled Distribution Date

The Final Scheduled Distribution Date for any Class of Certificates is the Distribution Date in the month following the scheduled maturity date for the latest maturing related Mortgage Loan.  The actual final Distribution Date of any class of Certificates may be earlier or later, and could be substantially earlier, than such class’s Final Scheduled Distribution Date.

Optional Clean-Up Call

On the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in an Aggregate Pool as of the related Due Date is equal to or less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the such Aggregate Pool Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Master Servicer will have the option to purchase the Mortgage Loans in such Aggregate Pool at a price equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (i) 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the related Aggregate Pool Mortgage Loans plus accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate to but not including the Due Date in the month of such Distribution Date, (ii) the fair market value of all other property of the Issuing Entity relating to such Aggregate Pool and (iii) any unreimbursed advances, fees, servicing fees and other amounts payable to the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and (b) the fair market value, determined in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, of all outstanding related Aggregate Pool Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans in the related Aggregate Pool), all property acquired in respect of any such Mortgage Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity and all other property included in any REMIC formed under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to such Aggregate Pool.

On the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Segregated Pool as of the related Due Date is equal to or less than 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Segregated Pool Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Master Servicer, will have the option to purchase the Mortgage Loans in the Segregated Pool at a price equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (i) 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Segregated Pool Mortgage Loans plus accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate to but not including the Due Date in the month of such Distribution Date, (ii) the fair market value of all other property of the Issuing Entity relating to the Segregated Pool and (iii) any unreimbursed advances, fees, servicing fees and other amounts payable to the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and (b) the fair market value, determined in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, of all outstanding Segregated Pool Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans in the Segregated Pool), all property acquired in respect of any such Mortgage Loans remaining in the Issuing Entity and all other property included in any REMIC formed under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to the Segregated Pool.

If either of such options is exercised, and the amount specified in clause (b) of the first or second preceding paragraph exceeds the amount specified in clause (a) of that paragraph, then a residual class specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be entitled to receive the amount of such excess.  These residual classes are not offered hereby.

If the option is exercised with respect to an Aggregate Pool or the Segregated Pool, as applicable, it will effect an early retirement of the related Certificates.  Distributions on the related Certificates relating to the optional termination will be treated as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loans and the amounts paid in connection with the optional termination will be paid in accordance with the priorities and amounts set forth herein.  With respect to an optional termination, the proceeds for that distribution may not be sufficient to distribute the full amount to which each class of related Certificates is entitled.  Upon the second optional termination, any funds or property remaining in the Issuing Entity will be liquidated and the Issuing Entity will terminate.

Voting Rights

Any residual and interest-only certificates will be allocated 1% of all voting rights and the other classes of Certificates (other than any prepayment penalty certificates, which will not receive voting rights) will be allocated the remainder of all voting rights under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Voting rights will be allocated among these other classes of Certificates in proportion to their respective Class Principal Amounts and among Certificates of such class in proportion to their Percentage Interests.  

THE ISSUING ENTITY

On the Closing Date, and until the termination of the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Issuing Entity will be a common law trust formed under the laws of the state of New York. The Issuing Entity will be created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Depositor and its assets will consist of the assets described under the fifth paragraph under “Description of the Certificates—General” above.  The Issuing Entity will not have any liabilities as of the Closing Date. The fiscal year end of the Issuing Entity will be December 31 of each year.

The Issuing Entity will not have any employees, officers or directors. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Securities Administrator will act on behalf of the Issuing Entity, and may only perform those actions on behalf of the Issuing Entity that are specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, are only permitted to take such actions as are specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee on behalf of the Issuing Entity, will not have the power to issue additional certificates representing interests in the Issuing Entity, borrow money on behalf of the Issuing Entity or make loans from the assets of the Issuing Entity to any person or entity.

If the assets of the Issuing Entity are insufficient to pay the Certificateholders all principal and interest owed, holders of Subordinate Certificates will not receive all of their expected payments of interest and principal and will suffer a loss. The Issuing Entity, as a common law trust, is not eligible to be a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding. In the event of bankruptcy of the Sponsor, the Depositor or any Originator, it is not anticipated that the Issuing Entity would become part of the bankruptcy estate or subject to the bankruptcy control of a third party.

On December 30, 2005, U.S. Bank purchased the corporate trust and structured finance trust services businesses of Wachovia Corporation.  Following the closing of the acquisition, the Wachovia affiliate named as fiduciary or agent, as applicable, under each client agreement will continue in that role until U.S. Bank succeeds to that role in accordance with the terms of the governing instrument or agreement and applicable law.

U.S. Bank has provided securities administration services since 1987.  As of June 30, 2006, U.S. Bank was acting as securities administrator with respect to more than $34,839,000,000 of outstanding residential mortgage-backed securities.  

The Securities Administrator’s procedures for performing its calculation duties as required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are set forth as follows:

A U.S. Bank analyst (an “Analyst”) will review the relevant executed legal transaction documents for this transaction (collectively, the “Documents”) and program the distribution module of U.S. Bank’s cash-flow modeling system (the “System”) to provide the necessary calculations for this transaction.  The programming will consist of modeling all collection and withdrawal activity that will take place in all of the trust accounts for this transaction and modeling the payment priorities (the disbursement of cash) to the certificateholders and various other parties.  All trigger events set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be modeled without regard to probability of occurrence.

Prior to the first distribution to the certificateholders, a supervisor for the transaction (the “Supervisor”) will create an independent review spreadsheet, which will be based on the Documents and will be processed each month and compared to the System model output.  The Supervisor will also review the content of the certificateholder statements prior to the first Distribution Date to ensure that all information required by the Documents is present and correct.

The entire distribution program will undergo a line-by-line formula review by the Supervisor prior to the sixth month of distributions, and in no event later than the earliest date a Trigger Event (as defined in the prospectus supplement) could occur.  The Supervisor’s responsibility is to make sure that the program is consistent with the terms and payment priorities set forth in the Documents and that the certificateholders statement includes all items required to be reported by the Documents.

On a monthly basis, an Analyst will obtain from the related Servicer a file containing the payment activity for the related collection period on a loan-by-loan basis.  The loan file will be converted to a database format and loaded into the System program.  Prior to processing, the loan data will be reviewed to determine the reasonableness of the data based on loan level data received with respect to the cut-off date or the most recent collection period.  Once the loan data is confirmed with the related Servicer, the Analyst will input several aggregate amounts into a System database and begin processing the distributions through the System.

To the extent U.S. Bank is required by the documents to re-compute any loan-data elements supplied by the related Servicer, U.S. Bank will do so based on information received from the underwriter or the related Servicer.  U.S. Bank will identify all discrepancies and bring them to the attention of the related Servicer for resolution. If all discrepancies are not resolved by the date required in the Documents, U.S. Bank will deliver a discrepancy memorandum to the related Servicer.

The distribution reports will be reviewed by the Analyst and then by the Supervisor using a transaction-specific review spreadsheet.  Any corrections identified by the Supervisor will be corrected by the Analyst and reviewed by the Supervisor.  The Supervisor also will be responsible for the timely delivery of reports to the administration unit for process all cashflow items.

In the past three years, the Securities Administrator has not made material changes to the policies and procedures of its securities administration services for asset-backed certificates.  However, the Securities Administrator acquired the securities administration business of State Street Bank and Trust Company in 2002, and prior to January 1, 2006, the officers and employees in the office of the Securities Administrator acquired from State Street used slightly different procedures than those set forth above to review the data for each certificateholder statement.  Instead of creating an independent spreadsheet for review, a Supervisor reviewed each line of a proposed certificateholder statement prior to its distribution.  As of January 1, 2006, all offices of the Securities Administrator will use the procedures set forth above.

The Master Servicer is responsible for the compiling the information received from the related Servicer and preparing the monthly servicer reports and remittances.  In addition, it is responsible for monitoring the performance of the related Servicer under the terms of their respective servicing agreements.  In preparing the monthly reports, the Master Servicer independently calculates monthly loan balances based on servicer data, compares its results to servicer loan-level reports and reconciles any discrepancies with the related Servicer.  The Master Servicer also reviews the servicing of defaulted loans for compliance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of certain servicer events of default under the terms of a Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may be required to enforce certain remedies on behalf of the Issuing Entity and at the direction of the trustee against the related Servicer.  U.S. Bank has acted as Master Servicer for pools of mortgage loans since 1996, but it has acted as Master Servicer for only one rated securitization transactions.  In the past three years, the Master Servicer has not made material changes to its master servicing policies and procedures for sub-prime mortgage loans.  As of March 31, 2006, U.S. Bank was acting as Master Servicer for approximately 283 pools of residential mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,311,100,000.

For a description of the limitations on the liability of the Master Servicer, see “Description of the Securities” in the base prospectus.

THE SERVICERS

General

A portion of the Mortgage Loans will be serviced by JPMCB and PHH Mortgage.  No other Servicer will service more than 10% of the Mortgage Loans in any Aggregate Pool or the Segregated Pool.  Each Servicer will initially have primary responsibility for servicing the Mortgage Loans serviced by it, including, but not limited to, all collection, advancing and loan-level reporting obligations, maintenance of escrow accounts, maintenance of insurance and enforcement of foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Mortgage Loans and related Mortgaged Properties.  Set forth below is certain information with respect to the servicing of mortgage loans by JPMCB and PHH Mortgage.  No other Servicer will service more than 20% of the Mortgage Loans in any Aggregate Pool or the Segregated Pool.  

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

The information set forth in this section of the supplemental term sheet has been provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”).

JPMCB, a national banking association,  is a wholly-owned bank subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., a Delaware corporation whose principal office is located in New York, New York.  JPMCB is a commercial bank offering a wide range of banking services to its customers both domestically and internationally.  It is chartered, and its business is subject to examination and regulation, by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  JPMCB’s main office is located in Columbus, Ohio.  It is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  JPMCB is an affiliate of JPMorgan Securities, Inc., the underwriter.  JPMCB is rated “RPS1”, “Strong” and “SQ1”, by Fitch, S&P and Moody’s, respectively.  JPMCB does not believe that its financial condition will have any adverse effect on its ability to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.

Prior to January 1, 2005, JPMCB formed Chase Home Finance LLC (“CHF”), a wholly-owned, limited liability company.  Prior to January 1, 2005, Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation (“CMMC”) was engaged in the mortgage origination and servicing businesses.  On January 1, 2005, CMMC merged with and into CHF with CHF as the surviving entity.

JPMCB may perform any or all of its obligations under its servicing agreement through one or more subservicers.  JPMCB has engaged CHF as its subservicer to perform loan servicing activities for the Mortgage Loans on its behalf.  JPMCB will remain liable for its servicing duties and obligations under its servicing agreement as if JPMCB alone were servicing the Mortgage Loans.  As a result we are providing disclosure regarding CHF.  CHF (or its predecessors in interest) has serviced mortgage loans (including mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans) for over fifteen years.  

JPMCB is the product of numerous mergers and acquisitions.  Since the creation of the founding entities, mortgage products and loan servicing have been a part of the bank’s operations.  As JPMCB’s mortgage servicing activities have evolved over the past several decades and in the modern era, its portfolio has included prime loans (including conforming, jumbo, Alt-A and community development programs), manufactured housing loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and subprime mortgage loan products.

Servicing operations, for “prime” quality mortgage loans are audited internally by JPMCB’s General Audit and Risk groups and  subject to external audits by various investors, master servicers and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  JPMCB utilizes committees assembled on a quarterly basis to analyze compliance to Fair Debit Collections and Fair Lending legislation.  JPMCB employs a dual control process to review accounts for fee waivers and loss mitigation rejections in order to monitor compliance with internal procedures.

JPMCB as a servicer has made numerous changes to its servicing procedures during the past three years in order to improve its servicing processes and to increase efficiencies including the expansion of its customer care operational centers to Manila, Philippines and Costa Rica.

Neither JPMCB nor CHF is in default or has been terminated for cause under any servicing agreement with respect to prime mortgage loans to which it is a party.

No material litigation or governmental proceeding is pending against JPMCB or CHF or their properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Certificates.  The financial condition of JPMCB and the financial condition of CHF do not pose any material risks to their respective ability to service the mortgage loans.

JPMCB, through its subsidiary CHF, employs a collections strategy that is based on risk scoring and dialer strategy to make appropriate contact with delinquent customers.  Outbound calling is made five days a week from 9:00 a.m. Eastern time to 9:00 p.m. Pacific time, and under reduced operational hours on Saturday and Sunday.  There are special service teams to address the specific needs of Spanish-speaking customers and those impacted by natural disasters.  

Attempts to assist mortgagors to re-perform under their mortgage commitments are made prior to referring loans to foreclosure.  Loss mitigation efforts are run concurrently with the migration of a loan to foreclosure and continue until the foreclosure sale is executed.   Loss mitigation solicitation efforts include outbound calling strategies, inbound dedicated loss mitigation analysis teams and targeted assistance letters.  In addition to the Chase internet site delivering applications and program overviews, High Risk Property Managers review options during site inspections and local housing association referrals.

CHF has created a legal network where home product loans are referred for bankruptcy, foreclosure, real estate owned (REO) and loss mitigation legal actions.   Attorneys are monitored for performance to action initiation requirements, adherence to the timeline set forth by the state or federal jurisdictions and within the boundaries of the mortgage insurer or investor.   Status is monitored between operational teams for managing bankruptcy case filings, loss mitigation programs and transfers to REO status.  Performance to these timelines is periodically monitored to increase loss mitigation opportunities, billing accuracy, managing data security, and to effectively manage any initiated legal action.

Under the terms of the related Servicing Agreement, the Servicer may agree to modification upon the request of the mortgager provided the modification is in lieu of a refinancing and the servicer purchases the related mortgage loan for a price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan.

Under the terms of the related Servicing Agreement, the Servicer generally will not be liable for any losses on the Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer is required to make advances of delinquent monthly payments of interest and principal to the extent described in this supplemental term sheet.  See “Advances” below.  The Servicer has not failed to make a required advance in connection with any mortgage-backed securitization.

Chase Home Finance LLC.  Because JPMCB does not itself perform the servicing function on mortgage loans as to which it owns the servicing rights, JPMCB does not have meaningful historical servicing data with respect to delinquencies, foreclosures or losses. Therefore, JPMCB is providing below information relating to the portfolio of “prime” mortgage loans (exclusive of FHA and VA loans) secured by one- to four-family residential properties which were originated by or for JPMCB or its affiliates and which are serviced or subserviced by CHF (exclusive of any such mortgage loans as to which there exists either (i) a subservicing arrangement with a third party that is not an affiliate of JPMCB or (ii) a master servicing arrangement).

Collection Procedures.  CHF employs a variety of collection techniques during the various stages of delinquency.  The primary purpose of all collection efforts performed by CHF is to bring a delinquent mortgage loan current in as short a time as possible.  Phone calls are used as the principal form of contacting a mortgagor.  CHF utilizes a combination of predictive and preview dealer strategies to maximize the results of collection calling activity.  Prior to initiating foreclosure proceedings, CHF makes every reasonable effort to determine the reason for the default, whether the delinquency is a temporary or permanent condition, and the mortgagor’s attitude toward the obligation.  CHF will take action to foreclose a mortgage only once every reasonable effort to cure the default has been made and a projection of the ultimate gain or loss on REO sale is determined.  In accordance with accepted servicing practices, foreclosures are processed within individual state guidelines and in accordance with the provisions of the applicable mortgage and applicable state law.

JPMCB will service Mortgage Loans substantially in accordance with the procedures set forth under “Servicing of the Mortgage Loans” below.

PHH Mortgage Corporation

PHH Mortgage will service Mortgage Loans substantially in accordance with the procedures set forth under “Servicing of the Mortgage Loans” below.

PHH Mortgage has been servicing residential mortgage loans since 1978.  The following table describes size, composition and growth of PHH Mortgage’s total residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio as of the periods ended indicated below.

(2) Includes FHA and VA Loans

PHH Mortgage has a collections department that it uses to determine the root cause or causes (“hardships”), and a plan of action, when a mortgagor is unable to make their regularly scheduled mortgage payment by the related due date.  Hardships are categorized as either “short-term” or “long-term”, and based on the length of the hardship, the collections department’s representative will develop a plan of action, including offering repayment plans, soliciting loss mitigation assistance programs and offering counseling where continued borrower interest in the property appears less feasible.  All mortgage loans are scored using one of the two standard industry behavioral scoring models.  These scores, or risk factors, are used to determine the outbound calling strategy and default handling assigned to each mortgage loan.  PHH Mortgage initiates outbound phone calls, based on the behavioral score, at precise times during the month using a predictive dialer.  In addition, inbound calls handled by PHH Mortgage’s Voice Response Unit (VRU) will automatically route the mortgagor to the collections department if the mortgage loan is more than 30 days delinquent.  Once contact with the mortgagor is made, details of the conversation are documented in PHH Mortgage’s collections department’s system.  PHH Mortgage has guidelines that suggest the minimum information collectors should attempt to obtain from delinquent mortgagors at various stages of delinquency.  The following day, all mortgage loans where contact was made from the previous day are automatically removed from the daily outbound calling campaigns for three days and the process begins again until the mortgagors for all delinquent mortgage loans are contacted.  Once all mortgage loans have had an attempt, they are recycled for additional attempts.  Accounts that require a follow-up phone call receive a reminder code that indicates to the system that the customer needs to be called back if payment is not received by an agreed upon date.   While on any call, the collector determines the borrower’s attitude toward the delinquency and gains an understanding of the mortgagor’s hardship. If the customer has no concrete plan to bring the account current, the customer is then requested to participate in an interview in order to assess their financial situation. Borrower’s income, assets and expenses are analyzed in determining appropriate courses of action and/or workout solutions that could be pursued.

Continued follow up is made until the mortgage loan is brought current or no plan of action can be agreed upon.  In cases where no plan of action is made by the 120th day of delinquency, a formal review is conducted to determine the appropriateness of initiating a foreclosure action. On July 15, 2004, PHH Mortgage entered into an agreement with First American Default Management Solutions LLC.  Pursuant to that agreement, First American provides and performs certain foreclosure, eviction, bankruptcy, claims, property inspection and preservation and related default functions for PHH Mortgage.  Employees of First American are located at PHH Mortgage’s premises and First American’s premises.  First American’s operations are located in Dallas, Texas.

On January 6, 2004, PHH Mortgage entered into an agreement with ICT Group, Inc.  Pursuant to that agreement, ICT provides inbound customer service telephone response services.  On December 26, 2004, PHH Mortgage entered into an agreement with West Corporation.  Pursuant to that agreement, WEST provides inbound customer service telephone response services.  Combined, ICT and WEST handle an average of 80,000 monthly inbound calls.  This represents approximately 60% of PHH Mortgage’s total monthly inbound customer service calls.  ICT’s operations are located in Amherst, New York.  WEST’s operations are located in Spokane, Washington.

In September 2004, PHH Mortgage adopted the Account Receivable Check Conversion (ARC) check clearing methodology.  This process converts paper checks into an automated clearing house transaction which expedites the check clearing time frame.  As of December 2005, approximately 55% of PHH Mortgage’s first lien mortgage loan portfolio and approximately 82% of PHH Mortgage’s home equity portfolio payments are processed via the ARC method on a monthly basis.

Except as described above, there have been no other material changes to PHH Mortgage’s servicing policies or procedures.

PHH Mortgage is not aware of any default or servicing related performance trigger has occurred as to any other securitization for which it acts as a master servicer, a servicer or a sub-servicer.  PHH Mortgage is not aware of any material legal proceedings pending against it or against any of its property, including any proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities that is material to holders of the certificates.  PHH Mortgage has made all advances required to be made by it as a master servicer, a servicer or a sub-servicer of residential mortgage loans during the preceding three years.

The report of independent registered public accounting firm prepared with respect to PHH Mortgage for the year ended December 31, 2004 indicated that PHH Mortgage did not comply with the requirement, contained in the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, to (i) prepare custodial bank account reconciliations within 45 calendar days after the cutoff date and (ii) resolve reconciling items within 90 calendar days of their original identification.  PHH Mortgage undertook remediation activities to address this material instance of noncompliance as of December 31, 2004.

The report of independent registered public accounting firm prepared with respect to PHH Mortgage for the year ended December 31, 2005 indicated that PHH Mortgage did not comply with the requirement, contained in the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, to (i) prepare custodial bank account reconciliations within 45 calendar days after the cutoff date and (ii) resolve reconciling items within 90 calendar days of their original identification.  PHH Mortgage completed the implementation of an automated reconciliation system that allowed it to reduce the time required to complete custodial bank account reconciliations from within 60 calendar days after the cutoff date to within 30 calendar days after the cutoff date, and as of December 31, 2005, all of these reconciliations were completed within 45 calendar days after the cutoff date.

Except as described in the preceding two paragraphs, PHH Mortgage is not aware of any other material noncompliance with any applicable servicing criteria as to any other securitizations.

Recent Developments

In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by PHH Corporation (“PHH”) on July 21, 2006, PHH reported that it is working diligently to complete its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005 on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) and commence work on its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 (together, the “Form 10-Qs”), but that it was unable to provide the expected dates for these filings.

PHH reported, as previously disclosed in its Form 8-K filings of March 1, 2006, March 17, 2006, May 11, 2006 and June 12, 2006 (collectively, the “Form 8-Ks”), that it is evaluating accounting matters regarding transactions surrounding the spin-off (“Spin-Off”) from Cendant Corporation (“Cendant”) and certain other matters not related to the Spin-Off.

PHH reported that on July 17, 2006, after consultation with and review of the conclusions of management, the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors concluded that PHH’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and its unaudited quarterly financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004, March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 (collectively, the “Prior Financial Statements”) should not be relied upon because of errors in the Prior Financial Statements.  PHH reported that it has determined that the correction of these errors is material and will require the restatement of certain of its Prior Financial Statements.  PHH reported that until it is able to correct these errors, the Prior Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon, and financial statements for other periods may also be affected.  PHH also reported that the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm, relating to the Prior Financial Statements similarly may not be relied upon.  PHH reported that the errors also affect financial information for the periods mentioned that it included in certain of its other disclosures, such as in press releases and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

PHH reported that it has identified certain accounting errors in its Prior Financial Statements, including the appropriateness of a portion of mortgage re-insurance premiums being included as a component of the cash flows of its mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”).  PHH reported that prior to the second quarter of 2003, it capitalized the estimated future cash flows related to mortgage re-insurance premiums as part of its MSRs.  PHH reported that it ceased capitalizing new mortgage re-insurance premiums in the second quarter of 2003 and the balance of previously capitalized mortgage re-insurance premiums was fully amortized as of the end of the first quarter of 2005.  PHH reported that it intends to change this accounting treatment, which it expects will impact only the timing of revenue recognition.  PHH reported that while further analysis is required, it expects this change will result in a reduction in pre-tax income of approximately $108 million in years prior to 2001 and $27 million in 2001, and an offsetting increase in pre-tax income of approximately $44 million in 2002, $70 million in 2003, $19 million in 2004 and $2 million in 2005.

PHH reported that its Audit Committee has discussed the matters disclosed above with Deloitte & Touche LLP.

PHH reported that it has concluded its evaluation of the following accounting matters identified in the Form 8-Ks:

·

After evaluating the documentation and other information concerning the operations of PHH Home Loans LLC, the mortgage joint venture between Cendant and PHH Mortgage, which commenced operations in October 2005, it has determined that the operations of PHH Home Loans, LLC should be consolidated in its financial statements.  PHH reported that this is consistent with its historical accounting treatment.

·

After evaluating certain Spin-Off deferred tax assets relating to alternative minimum tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, it has determined that it will record valuation allowances against these deferred tax assets relating to the net operating loss carryforwards, which will result in the impairment of such deferred tax assets and require a charge to net income of approximately $25 million in 2005.

·

PHH reported that as previously disclosed, it has evaluated and resolved the appropriateness of state tax effective rates included in its income tax provision, which it expects will result in a charge to its 2005 net income of approximately $6 million.

·

PHH reported that it has reevaluated the appropriateness of including a portion of mortgage re-insurance premiums as a component of the cash flows of its MSRs.  PHH reported that prior to the second quarter of 2003, it capitalized the estimated future cash flows related to mortgage re-insurance premiums as part of its MSRs.  PHH reported that it ceased capitalizing new mortgage re-insurance premiums in the second quarter of 2003 and the balance of previously capitalized mortgage re-insurance premiums was fully amortized as of the end of the first quarter of 2005.  PHH reported that it intends to change this accounting treatment, which it expects will impact only the timing of revenue recognition.  PHH reported that while further analysis is required, it expects this change will result in a reduction in pre-tax income of approximately $108 million in years prior to 2001 and $27 million in 2001, and an offsetting increase in pre-tax income of approximately $44 million in 2002, $70 million in 2003, $19 million in 2004 and $2 million in 2005.

PHH reported that it continues to evaluate the following accounting matters identified in the Form 8-Ks and certain other accounting matters in conjunction with the preparation of its 2005 financial statements:

·

The appropriateness of not recording federal income tax reserves and valuation allowances associated with the amended and restated tax sharing agreement dated as of December 21, 2005 with Cendant post Spin-Off, which PHH reported may result in the creation of a reserve and/or valuation allowance and a charge to PHH’s 2005 net income.  PHH reported that this analysis requires an in-depth examination of the tax accounting methodologies previously utilized with respect to a wide range of financial instruments used by PHH in the ordinary course of business, including the tax classification of derivatives, hedges and swaps.

·

The appropriateness of not recording certain amounts relating to an ongoing audit by the Canadian tax authorities of the goods and service tax, which if unfavorably resolved could result in additional taxes, interest and penalties of approximately $16 million in 2005.

·

The $239 million goodwill impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2005 as a result of the Spin-Off.  PHH reported that its analysis of this matter is ongoing and has been complicated by the need to obtain and evaluate certain historical information and documentation going back to 2001.

·

The reevaluation of $21 million of certain intangibles related to trademarks and customer lists in connection with the goodwill reallocation recorded at the time of the Spin-Off and the resulting goodwill impairment previously recorded in the first quarter of 2005, which PHH reported may result in a reclassification to goodwill and an impairment of such goodwill and could potentially be reflected as a charge to its 2005 net income of as much as $21 million.  PHH reported that its analysis of this $21 million of intangibles is ongoing and it expects that this matter will be resolved in conjunction with the resolution of the $239 million goodwill impairment taken at the time of the Spin-Off.

·

The appropriateness of the timing of revenue recognition related to loan sales from PHH Mortgage to Bishops Gate Residential Mortgage Trust (“Bishop's Gate”), a consolidated special purpose entity, prior to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), and the accounting for derivatives and hedging activities related to loans held for sale under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”).  PHH reported that prior to the date of adoption of FIN 46 in the second quarter of 2003 and the related consolidation of Bishop’s Gate, it recorded loan sales to Bishop’s Gate at the time of sale; however, PHH reported that the gain on sale was deferred until it completed its obligation to assist Bishop’s Gate in selling those loans to third-party investors.  PHH reported that in addition, it employed derivatives to hedge its interest rate risk from interest rate lock commitments, loans held for sale, and loans held by Bishop’s Gate and used hedge accounting from the date of adoption of SFAS 133 in the first quarter of 2001 through the third quarter of 2003.  PHH reported that it discontinued hedge accounting in the fourth quarter of 2003 and developed enhanced systems to meet the documentation requirements of SFAS 133 and resumed hedge accounting late in the first quarter of 2004.  PHH reported that this assessment may result in the identification of errors in the timing of revenue recognition for the periods in 2004 and prior.  PHH reported that while further analysis is required, it estimates the potential impact related to these items could result in increases in pre-tax income of approximately $17 million in years prior to 2001 and $39 million in 2001 and offsetting decreases in pre-tax income of approximately $24 million in 2002, $30 million in 2003 and $2 million in 2004.  PHH reported that it does not expect that this change in accounting treatment will impact pre-tax income in 2005.

·

The reevaluation of contemporaneous documentation required to employ SFAS 133 hedge accounting to certain financial instruments used to hedge interest rate risk for the years 2002 through 2005.  PHH reported that while further analysis is required, this reevaluation may result in the disallowance of hedge accounting previously used for these hedging arrangements.  PHH reported that it estimates the aggregate potential impact could result in a net increase to pre-tax income of $20 million in 2002, partially offset by net decreases to pre-tax income of $7 million in 2003, $5 million in 2004, and $6 million in 2005.

The reevaluation of the timing of recognition of motor company monies that impact the basis in PHH’s leased vehicles and depreciation methodologies applied to certain of its leased vehicles, which PHH reported could result in changes to its depreciation expense.  PHH reported that while further analysis is required, it estimates the aggregate potential impact could result in net decreases to pre-tax income of $10 million in years prior to 2001, $3 million in 2001 and $2 million in 2002, partially offset by net increases to pre-tax income of $1 million in 2003, $5 million in 2004, and $3 million in 2005.

PHH reported that because the preparation of its financial statements continues, certain of the accounting matters identified at this stage as well as the potential impact of certain of these matters on its financial statements have not yet been finalized and are subject to change.  PHH reported that as it continues the process of evaluating the accounting issues identified in the Form 8-Ks and completing the preparation of its financial statements, additional material accounting issues may be identified which, individually or in the aggregate, may result in material impairments to assets and/or material adjustments to or restatements of its financial statements for prior periods or prior fiscal years beyond those that it has already disclosed.

PHH reported that it continues to believe it has adequate liquidity to fund its operating cash needs.  PHH reported that it has previously obtained certain waivers and continues to seek additional waivers extending the date for delivery of its audited financial statements, or the audited financial statements of its subsidiaries, and other documents related to such financial statements to certain lenders, trustees and other third parties in connection with certain of its financing, servicing, hedging and related agreements and instruments (collectively, the “Financing Agreements”).

PHH reported that its revolving credit facilities and various other Financing Agreements require, among other things that it file, and/or deliver to the various lenders and trustees (within various specified periods of time), its financial statements or the financial statements of its mortgage services segment.  PHH reported that it has discussed the aforementioned accounting matters with its principal lenders and trustees under its revolving credit facilities and various other Financing Agreements.  PHH reported that as previously disclosed, it has obtained waivers under its $1.3 billion Five-Year Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement, its $500 million Revolving Credit Agreement, and certain other facilities waiving certain potential breaches of covenants under those instruments and extending the deadline (the “Extended Deadline”) for the delivery of its financial statements and/or its 2005 annual servicing report to the various lenders under those instruments until September 30, 2006, unless the principal amount of any indebtedness issued under its public notes indenture shall become due and payable (other than by optional redemption) prior to such date.  PHH reported that it has not received any notices of default accelerating its payment of its currently outstanding indebtedness.

PHH reported that under certain of its Financing Agreements, the lenders or trustees have the right to notify PHH if they believe PHH has breached a covenant under the operative documents and may declare an event of default.  PHH reported that if it receives notice and is unable to cure the events of default or obtain necessary waivers within the required time periods or certain extended time periods, the maturity of some of its debt could be accelerated and its ability to incur additional indebtedness could be restricted.

PHH reported that Bishop’s Gate, a consolidated special purpose entity, received a notice (the “Notice”), dated July 10, 2006, from The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee (the “BG Trustee”), that certain events of default have occurred under the Base Indenture dated December 11, 1998 (the “Indenture”) between the BG Trustee and Bishop’s Gate, pursuant to which Bishop’s Gate Residential Mortgage Loan Medium Term Notes, Variable Rate Notes, Series 1999-1, Due 2006 and Variable Rate Notes, Series 2001-2, Due 2008 (collectively, the “Notes”) were issued.  PHH reported that the total principal outstanding under the Notes is $800 million.  PHH reported that it is in discussions with the BG Trustee seeking to obtain a waiver of any events of default under the Indenture from the required parties.

PHH reported that the Notice indicates that events of default occurred as a result of Bishop’s Gate’s failure to provide the BG Trustee with its and certain other audited annual and unaudited quarterly financial statements.  PHH reported that while the Notice further informed the holders of the Notes of these events of default, the notice received did not constitute a notice of acceleration of repayment of the Notes.  PHH reported that the Notice creates an event of default under the Amended and Restated Liquidity Agreement (the “Liquidity Agreement”), dated as of December 11, 1998, as further amended and restated as of December 2, 2003, among Bishop’s Gate, certain banks listed therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Agent.  PHH reported that the Liquidity Agreement supports commercial paper issued by Bishop’s Gate.  PHH reported that it has received approvals from the required banks and is in the process of obtaining other approvals required under the Liquidity Agreement in order to finalize a waiver of this event of default.

PHH reported that there can be no assurance that any required waivers under any of its Financing Agreements will be received on a timely basis, if at all, or that any waivers obtained, including the waivers it has already obtained as described above, will extend for a sufficient period of time to avoid an acceleration event, an event of default or other restrictions on its business operations.  Failure to obtain waivers could be material and adverse to its business, liquidity and financial condition.

PHH reported that it has obtained certain waivers and continues to seek additional waivers extending the date for delivery of the audited financial statements of its subsidiaries and other documents related to such financial statements to certain regulators, investors in mortgage loans and other third parties in order to satisfy state mortgage licensing regulations and certain contractual requirements.  PHH reported that it will continue to seek similar waivers as a result of the aforementioned accounting matters as may be necessary, however there can be no assurance that any required waivers will be received on a timely basis, if at all, or that any waivers obtained, including the waivers it has already obtained, will extend for a sufficient period of time to avoid restrictions on its business operations. The failure to obtain waivers from investors in mortgage loans and other parties or the loss of licenses to do mortgage business in one or more states could be material and adverse to its business, liquidity and financial condition.

PHH reported that it has not completed its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  PHH reported that it has, however, identified a number of internal control deficiencies, some of which have been classified as material weaknesses and others that may be classified as significant deficiencies that alone or in the aggregate may constitute material weaknesses.  A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2), or combination of control deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their assigned functions.  PHH reported that it expects to conclude that its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) as of the year ended December 31, 2005 and the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 were not effective.  PHH reported that additional discussion regarding its controls and procedures will be included in its Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q when filed.

PHH reported that the aforementioned control deficiencies have contributed to the delay in the finalization of its financial statements and its management intends to remediate such control deficiencies as promptly as possible.  PHH reported that it has and will continue to devote substantial time and incur significant expense in connection with meeting these requirements.

In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by PHH on July 24, 2006, PHH reported that it entered into an unsecured $750 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of July 21, 2006, among PHH, Citicorp North America, Inc. and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as syndication agents; J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners; the lenders referred to therein (the “Lenders”); and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a Lender and as administrative agent for the Lenders.  The Credit Agreement provides $750 million of capacity solely for the repayment of the unsecured medium term notes (the “MTNs”) issued under PHH’s public notes indenture.  PHH reported that the capacity under the Credit Agreement together with the excess capacity available under PHH’s existing unsecured credit facilities provides sufficient liquidity to fund the outstanding balance of PHH’s MTNs.  PHH reported that because it has failed to deliver the financial statements required under the public notes indenture related to the MTNs, PHH intends to launch a tender offer and consent solicitation in order to either retire the outstanding MTNs or obtain the requisite consents from the holders of the MTNs to waive compliance with the covenant requiring delivery of PHH’s financial statements.  PHH reported that there can be no assurance that it will be successful in this effort.

The Credit Agreement includes terms and conditions, which are generally consistent with those in the $500 million 364-day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 6, 2006, among PHH, Citicorp USA, Inc., as syndication agent; Wachovia Bank, National Association, as documentation agent; J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners; the lenders referred to therein; and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a lender and administrative agent for the lenders.  PHH reported that the terms and conditions in the Credit Agreement also include provisions consistent with the waiver provisions received from its lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement and disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 12, 2006.  In addition, PHH reported, Annex A to the Credit Agreement amends certain terms regarding repayment of loans under the Existing Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement (i) contains restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness of material subsidiaries, mergers, liens, liquidations, and sale and leaseback transactions, and (ii) requires that PHH maintain: (a) on the last day of each fiscal quarter, a net worth of $1.0 billion plus 25% of net income for each fiscal quarter ended after December 31, 2004 and (b) at any time, a ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth no greater than 10:1.

PHH reported that there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of July 21, 2006.

PHH disclosed the developments described in this section in Form 8-K reports that it filed with the SEC on March 1, March 13, March 17, April 6, April 27, May 11, June 12, July 21, and July 24, 2006 respectively, and which reports you can find on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.  These Form 8-K reports shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this supplemental term sheet or the depositor’s registration statement. The developments described in this section and in the SEC filings identified herein could have a material impact on the ability of PHH Mortgage to service the mortgage loans and perform its duties under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement.  The inability of PHH Mortgage to perform these functions could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Certificates.

AFFILIATES AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Sponsor is a wholly owned subsidiary of JPMCB and an affiliate of the Depositor and the Underwriter. JPMCB is an Originator and a Servicer of the Mortgage Loans and the Custodian for the mortgage files. There is not currently and there was not during the past two years any material business relationship, arrangement or other understanding between any of the Sponsor, the Depositor, JPMSI or JPMCB that was entered into outside the ordinary course of business of each such party or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with unaffiliated entities.

SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS  

Servicing and Collection Procedures

Servicing functions to be performed by each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement include collection and remittance of principal and interest payments, administration of mortgage escrow accounts, collection of certain insurance claims and, if necessary, foreclosure.  Each Servicer may contract with subservicers to perform some or all of such Servicer’s servicing duties, but the Servicer will not thereby be released from its obligations under the related Servicing Agreement.  When used herein with respect to servicing obligations, the term Servicer includes a subservicer.

Each Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the related Mortgage Loans and will, consistent with the related Servicing Agreement and any primary mortgage insurance policy, follow such collection procedures as are customary with respect to mortgage loans that are comparable to the related Mortgage Loans.  Consistent with the above, such Servicer may, in its discretion, (i) waive any assumption fee, late payment or other charge in connection with a Mortgage Loan and (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with the coverage of such Mortgage Loan by a primary mortgage insurance policy, arrange with a mortgagor a schedule for the liquidation of delinquencies.  The Depositor’s prior approval or consent may be required for certain servicing activities such as modification of the terms of any Mortgage Loan and the sale of any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property.

Pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, each Servicer will deposit collections on the related Mortgage Loans into the Custodial Account established by it.  Each Custodial Account is required to be kept segregated from operating accounts of the related Servicer and to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.  If permitted under the related Servicing Agreement, amounts on deposit in the related Custodial Account may be invested in certain permitted investments described therein.  Any losses resulting from such investments are required to be reimbursed to such Custodial Account by the related Servicer out of its own funds.

On or before the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, will establish the Distribution Account into which each Servicer will remit all amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement (net of such Servicer’s servicing compensation) on each Servicer Remittance Date.  On or prior to the date specified in the related Servicing Agreement, each Servicer will furnish to the Master Servicer information with respect to loan level remittance data for such month’s remittance.

Accounts

On or prior to the Closing Date, each Servicer will establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained a Custodial Account.  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator will establish the Distribution Account.  As further compensation, if permitted under the related Servicing Agreement, funds credited to the Custodial Account established by a Servicer may be invested at the discretion of such Servicer for its own benefit in permitted investments.  Amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account may be invested at the discretion of the Securities Administrator for the benefit of the Master Servicer in permitted investments.  The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the accounts of the Issuing Entity.

Account

Responsible Party

Party Entitled to Investment Income

Custodial Accounts

Each Servicer will be responsible for maintaining a Custodial Account.

The related Servicer will be entitled to any investment income on amounts in deposit in its Custodial Account.

Distribution Account

The Securities Administrator will be responsible for maintaining the Distribution Account.

The Master Servicer may be entitled to a portion of the investment income on amounts in deposit in the Distribution Account.  

Flow of Funds

On the 18th day of each month (or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day), each Servicer will remit all amounts on deposit in the related Custodial Account to the Distribution Account.  On each Distribution Date, to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount for each Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Distribution Account, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions to the related Certificateholders.  The following table sets forth the flow of funds from collections of payments on the Mortgage Loans, the deposit of such funds into the accounts and the payments of such funds to the Certificateholders.

Period/Event

Dates

Flow of Funds

Due Period

The period beginning on the second day of a calendar month and ending on the first day of the succeeding calendar month.

Each Servicer shall hold in the related Custodial Account all scheduled installments of interest (net of the Servicing Fees) and principal collected on the related Mortgage Loans, together with any Monthly Advances in respect thereof.

Prepayment Period

The calendar month immediately preceding the Distribution Date.

Each Servicer shall hold in the related Custodial Account all partial or full prepayments of principal and certain other unscheduled payments of principal, together with any accrued interest thereon on the related Mortgage Loans during such period plus any amounts required to be paid by that Servicer in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on such Mortgage Loans.

Servicer Remittance Date

The 18th day of each calendar month  (or, if the 18th is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day).

On the Servicer Remittance Date, each Servicer will remit to the Distribution Account, scheduled payments received on the Mortgage Loans serviced by it due during the related Due Period and any Monthly Advances in respect thereof, prepayments received on the Mortgage Loans serviced by it during the related Prepayment Period and certain other unscheduled amounts required to be remitted by such Servicer in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Distribution Date

The 25th day of each month, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator will remit amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account to Certificateholders in accordance with the priority of distributions set forth herein.


Compensating Interest to be Paid by the Servicers in Connection with Certain Prepaid Mortgage Loans

When a borrower prepays a Mortgage Loan between Due Dates, the borrower is required to pay interest on the amount prepaid only to the date of prepayment and not thereafter.  Principal prepayments by borrowers received by a Servicer during the related Prepayment Period for a Distribution Date will be distributed to Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date.  Thus, less than one month’s interest may have been collected on Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid with respect to any Distribution Date.  Pursuant to each Servicing Agreement, the related Servicer will be required to make payments in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls from its own funds with respect to Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer.

The respective obligations of the Servicers to make payments in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for any month shall be limited to their respective aggregate Servicing Fees for that month.  The Master Servicer is obligated to reduce a portion of its Master Servicing Fee for the related Distribution Date to the extent necessary to fund any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls required to be paid but not paid by the Servicers, but such obligation is limited to its aggregate Master Servicing Fee for that month.  The amount of interest available to be paid to Certificateholders will be reduced by any uncompensated Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

Advances

Subject to the limitations described in the following paragraph, each Servicer will be required to advance prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, from its own funds, or funds in its Custodial Account that are not otherwise required to be remitted to the Distribution Account for that Distribution Date, with respect to those Mortgage Loans serviced by it, Monthly Advances.  The Master Servicer will be obligated to make any required Monthly Advance if a Servicer fails in its obligation to do so, to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement.

Monthly Advances are intended to maintain a regular flow of scheduled interest and principal payments on the Certificates rather than to guarantee or insure against losses.  Each Servicer is obligated to make Monthly Advances with respect to delinquent payments of interest and principal on each Mortgage Loan serviced by it, to the extent that such Monthly Advances are, in its good faith judgment or reasonable determination, recoverable from future payments and collections or insurance payments or proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loans.  If a Servicer fails to make a Monthly Advance as required under the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer will be required to make, or shall cause the successor servicer to make, a Monthly Advance in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that in no event will the Master Servicer be required to make a Monthly Advance that is not, in its reasonable judgment, recoverable from future payments and collections or insurance payments or proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loans.  If a Servicer determines on any Determination Date to make a Monthly Advance, such Monthly Advance will be included with the payment to Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date.  Any failure by the Master Servicer to make a Monthly Advance as required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will constitute a Master Servicer Default thereunder, in which case the Trustee or the successor master servicer will be obligated to make such Monthly Advance.

Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria and Servicer Attestation

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that on or before a specified date in each year for which the Depositor is required to file a 10-K, each party participating in the servicing function of the Issuing Entity provide a report to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 of Regulation AB applicable to such party.  A firm of independent public accountants will be required to furnish to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, an attestation report compliant with Item 1122 of Regulation AB on such party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as an exhibit.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also provides for delivery to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer, on or before a specified date in each year to which the Depositor is required to file a 10-K, of an annual officer’s certificate to the effect that the Securities Administrator has fulfilled its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing agreement throughout the preceding year.

The related Servicing Agreement provides for delivery to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, on or before a specified date in each year, of an annual officer’s certificate to the effect that the Servicer has fulfilled its obligations under the related Servicing Agreement throughout the preceding year and the Item 1122 assessment of compliance and accountant’s attestation.

Master Servicer Default; Servicer Default

Events of default by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement include (i) any failure by the Master Servicer to make a Monthly Advance as required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless cured as specified therein; (ii) any failure by the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or agreements in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which continues unremedied for a specified period after the giving of written notice of such failure to the Master Servicer; and (iii) certain events of insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding and certain actions by on or behalf of the Master Servicer indicating its insolvency, reorganization or inability to pay its obligations.

If the Master Servicer is in default in its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may, and must if directed to do so by Certificateholders having more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount applicable to each class of Certificates affected thereby, terminate the Master Servicer and either appoint a successor Master Servicer in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or succeed to the responsibilities of the Master Servicer.

Events of default under the Servicing Agreements include, among other things, (i) any failure of the Servicers to remit to the Distribution Account any required payment which continues unremedied for a specified period; (ii) any failure by the Servicers duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements in the related Servicing Agreement which continues unremedied for a specified period after the giving of written notice of such failure to the related Servicer; and (iii) certain events of insolvency and certain actions by or on behalf of the Servicers indicating their insolvency, reorganization or inability to pay their obligations.

In the event of a default by a Servicer under its Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer will have the right to remove that Servicer.  In the event that the Master Servicer removes a Servicer, the Master Servicer will, in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, act as successor servicer under the related Servicing Agreement or will appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee.  In connection with the removal of a Servicer, the Master Servicer, will be entitled to be reimbursed from the assets of the Issuing Entity for all of its reasonable costs associated with the termination of such Servicer and the transfer of servicing to a successor servicer.  

Resignation of Servicers; Assignment and Merger

No Servicer, other than JPMCB, may resign from its obligations and duties under its Servicing Agreement or assign or transfer its rights, duties or obligations except (i) upon a determination that its duties thereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by such Servicer, or (ii) with the approval of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld.  JPMCB may assign or transfer its rights, duties or obligations under its Servicing Agreement; provided that any such assignment or transfer shall not result in a reduction or withdrawal of then-current ratings of the Certificates and such successor servicer meets the qualifications of a successor servicer as set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.  No such resignation will become effective until a successor servicer has assumed the related Servicer’s obligations and duties under such Servicing Agreement.

Any person into which a Servicer may be merged or consolidated, any person resulting from any merger or consolidation which a Servicer is a party, any person succeeding to the business of a Servicer or any person to whom a Servicer assigns or transfers its duties and obligations, will be the successor of such Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE ISSUING ENTITY

The expense fees for the Mortgage Loans are payable out of the interest payments on each Mortgage Loan.  The expense fees consist of the Servicing Fee, the portion of any Master Servicing Fee comprised of a percentage each month of the then-outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans and any lender paid mortgage guaranty insurance premiums, if applicable.

The Servicers are also entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation, all late payment fees, assumption fees and other similar charges and, if applicable, all reinvestment income earned on amounts on deposit in the related Custodial Accounts.

The Master Servicer will be entitled to retain the Master Servicing Fee in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator will be entitled to reimbursement from the Issuing Entity for certain expenses and other amounts prior to payments to Certificateholders.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the fees payable to the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in respect of the performance of their obligations to the Issuing Entity.

YIELD, PREPAYMENT AND WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE

Yield Considerations

The yields to maturity (or to early termination) of the Offered Certificates will be affected by the rate of principal payments (including prepayments, which may include amounts received by virtue of purchase, condemnation, insurance or foreclosure) on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools.  Yields will also be affected by the extent to which Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools bearing higher Mortgage Rates prepay at a more rapid rate than Mortgage Loans with lower Mortgage Rates, the amount and timing of borrower delinquencies and defaults resulting in Realized Losses, the purchase price for the Offered Certificates and other factors.

Principal prepayments may be influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, demographic, social, tax, legal and other factors.  Substantially all of the Mortgage Loans may be voluntarily prepaid in full or in part without the payment of any penalty or premium.  In general, if prevailing interest rates fall below the interest rates on the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loans are likely to be subject to higher prepayments than if prevailing rates remain at or above the interest rates on the Mortgage Loans.  Conversely, if prevailing interest rates rise above the interest rates on the Mortgage Loans, the rate of prepayment would be expected to decrease.  Other factors affecting prepayment of the Mortgage Loans include such factors as changes in borrowers’ housing needs, job transfers, unemployment, borrowers’ net equity in the mortgaged properties, changes in the value of the mortgaged properties, mortgage market interest rates and servicing decisions.  The Mortgage Loans generally have due-on-sale clauses.

Increases and decreases in the Mortgage Rate on a Mortgage Loan will be limited by the maximum Mortgage Rate and the minimum Mortgage Rate, if any, and will be based on the applicable index in effect on the applicable date prior to the related interest rate adjustment date plus the applicable margin.  The applicable index may not rise and fall consistently with Mortgage Rates.  As a result, the Mortgage Rates on the Mortgage Loans at any time may not equal the prevailing mortgage interest rates for similar adjustable rate loans, and accordingly the prepayment rate may be lower or higher than would otherwise be anticipated.  Moreover, some borrowers who prefer the certainty provided by fixed rate mortgage loans may, nevertheless, obtain adjustable rate mortgage loans at a time when they regard the mortgage interest rates (and, therefore, the payments) on fixed rate mortgage loans as unacceptably high.  These borrowers may be induced to refinance adjustable rate loans when the mortgage interest rates and monthly payments on comparable fixed rate mortgage loans decline to levels which these borrowers regard as acceptable, even though such mortgage interest rates and monthly payments may be significantly higher than the current mortgage interest rates and monthly payments on the borrowers’ adjustable rate mortgage loans.  The ability to refinance a Mortgage Loan will depend on a number of factors prevailing at the time refinancing is desired, including, without limitation, real estate values, the borrower’s financial situation, prevailing mortgage interest rates, the borrower’s equity in the related mortgaged property, tax laws and prevailing general economic conditions.

The rate of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans will also be affected by the amortization schedules of the Mortgage Loans, the rate and timing of prepayments thereon, liquidations of defaulted Mortgage Loans and purchases of Mortgage Loans due to certain breaches of representations and warranties or defective documentation.  The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments, liquidations and purchases of the related Mortgage Loans may, and the timing of Realized Losses will, significantly affect the yield to an investor, even if the average rate of principal payments experienced over time is consistent with an investor’s expectation.  Because the rate and timing of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans will depend on future events and on a variety of factors, no assurance can be given as to such rate or the timing of principal payments on the Offered Certificates.  In general, the earlier a prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loans, the greater the effect on an investor’s yield.  The effect on an investor’s yield of principal payments occurring at a rate higher (or lower) than the rate anticipated by the investor during the period immediately following the issuance of the Certificates may not be offset by a subsequent like decrease (or increase) in the rate of principal payments.

From time to time, areas of the United States may be affected by flooding, severe storms, landslides, wildfires, earthquakes or other natural disasters.  Under each Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the related Assignment Agreements, the Originator will represent and warrant that, as of the date on which the Mortgage Loans were transferred to the Seller, each Mortgaged Property was free of material damage.  In the event of an uncured breach of this representation and warranty that materially and adversely affects the interests of Certificateholders, each Originator will be required to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or substitute another mortgage loan therefor.  If any damage caused by flooding, storms, wildfires, landslides or earthquakes (or other cause) occurs after such date, the applicable Originator will not have any repurchase obligation.  In addition, the standard hazard policies covering the Mortgaged Properties generally do not cover damage caused by earthquakes, flooding and landslides, and earthquake, flood or landslide insurance may not have been obtained with respect to such Mortgaged Properties.  As a consequence, Realized Losses could result.  To the extent that the insurance proceeds received with respect to any damaged Mortgaged Properties are not applied to the restoration thereof, the proceeds will be used to prepay the related Mortgage Loans in whole or in part.  Any purchases or repayments of the Mortgage Loans may reduce the weighted average lives of the Offered Certificates and will reduce the yields on the Offered Certificates to the extent they are purchased at a premium.

Prepayments, liquidations and purchases of the Mortgage Loans will result in distributions to Certificateholders of principal amounts that would otherwise be distributed over the remaining terms of such Mortgage Loans.  The rate of defaults on the Mortgage Loans will also affect the rate and timing of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans.  In general, defaults on Mortgage Loans are expected to occur with greater frequency in their early years.

As described herein, certain of the Mortgage Loans provide for only monthly interest payments for a specified number of years following origination.  Other considerations aside, due to such characteristics, borrowers may be disinclined to prepay the Mortgage Loans during such interest-only period.  In addition, because no principal is due on the Mortgage Loans during such interest-only period, the Certificates will amortize at a slower rate during such period than would otherwise be the case.  Thereafter, when the monthly payments on the Mortgage Loans are recalculated on the basis of a level payment amortization schedule, based on the remaining term of the Mortgage Loans, as described herein, principal payments on the Certificates are expected to increase correspondingly at a faster rate than if payments on the Mortgage Loans were calculated on the basis of a 30 year amortization schedule.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assurance can be given as to any prepayment rate on the Mortgage Loans.

As described under “Description of the Certificates — Distributions of Principal” herein, scheduled and unscheduled principal payments on the Mortgage Loans in a Mortgage Pool will generally be allocated disproportionately to the Senior Certificates of the related Certificate Group during the first nine or eleven years following the Closing Date (except as described herein) or if certain conditions are met.  Such allocation will initially accelerate the amortization of the Senior Certificates.

The yields on the Offered Certificates may also be adversely affected by Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.  Moreover, the yield on each class of Offered Certificates will be affected by the Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool from time to time, as described under “Risk Factors — Your Yield May Be Affected by Changes in Interest Rates.” No prediction can be made as to future levels of Six-Month LIBOR, 1-Year LIBOR or 1-Year CMT or as to the timing of any changes therein.

The yields to investors in the Offered Certificates may be significantly affected by the exercise of the Master Servicer’s or the Servicer’s, as applicable, option to purchase the related Mortgage Loans, as described herein.  See “Description of the Certificates — Optional Clean-Up Call.” If the purchaser of a Certificate offered at a discount from its initial principal amount calculates its anticipated yield to maturity (or early termination) based on an assumed rate of payment of principal that is faster than that actually experienced on the related Mortgage Loans, the actual yield may be lower than that so calculated.

Conversely, if the purchaser of a Certificate offered at a premium calculates its anticipated yield based on an assumed rate of payment of principal that is slower than that actually experienced on the related Mortgage Loans, the actual yield may be lower than that so calculated.  The effective yield to holders of the Offered Certificates will be lower than the yield otherwise produced by the applicable Certificate Interest Rate and the related purchase price because monthly distributions will not be payable to such holders until the 25th day of the month (or the immediately following Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) following the month in which interest accrues on the Mortgage Loans (without any additional distribution of interest or earnings thereon in respect of such delay).

Prospective purchasers of the Interest-Only Certificates should carefully consider the risk that a rapid rate of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans could result in the failure of such purchasers to recover their initial investments.

Subordination of the Subordinate Certificates

On each Distribution Date, the holders of classes of Certificates having a relatively higher priority of distribution will have a preferential right to receive amounts of interest and principal due them on such Distribution Date before any distributions are made on any related class of Certificates subordinate to such higher ranking class.  As a result, the yields to maturity and the aggregate amount of distributions on each class of related Aggregate Pool Subordinate Certificates or the Segregated Pool Subordinate Certificates will be more sensitive than the yields of higher ranking Certificates to the rate of delinquencies and defaults on the Mortgage Loans.

As more fully described herein, the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be allocated first to the lower ranking related class of Subordinate Certificates, then to the higher ranking related class of Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of priority, until the Class Principal Amount of each such class has been reduced to zero, before any such Realized Losses will be allocated to the related classes of Senior Certificates.  The interest portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will reduce the amount of interest available for distribution on the related Distribution Date to the lowest ranking related class of Certificates outstanding on such date.  In addition, although all losses initially will be borne by the related classes of Subordinate Certificates, Excess Losses will be borne by all classes of related certificates in accordance with the allocation rules set forth in this supplemental term sheet under “Description of the Certificates—Allocation of Losses”.  As a result, the yields on the Offered Certificates will depend on the rate and timing of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses on the related Mortgage Loans.  Excess Losses could occur at a time when one or more classes of related Subordinate Certificates are still outstanding and otherwise available to absorb other types of Realized Losses.

LIBOR Certificates

The yield to maturity on the LIBOR Certificates, if any, will be sensitive to fluctuations in One-Month LIBOR, and the Certificate Interest Rate on these Certificates will vary directly with the level of One-Month LIBOR.

MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

General

In the opinion of McKee Nelson LLP, counsel to the Underwriter and special tax counsel to the Depositor, a designated portion of the Issuing Entity will comprise multiple REMICs for federal income tax purposes; one or more Lower-Tier REMICs and a single Upper-Tier REMIC.  Each Lower-Tier REMIC will hold either Mortgage Loans or uncertificated regular interests and will issue several classes of uncertificated regular interests and a single residual interest.  None of the residual interests in the Lower-Tier REMICs are offered hereby.  The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold as assets regular interests issued by one or more Lower-Tier REMICs.  Elections will be made to treat each REMIC created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes.  The Offered Certificates other than the residual certificates will represent ownership of regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the residual certificates will represent ownership of the sole residual interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.  All prospective investors should review the discussion under “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying prospectus.

The Regular Certificates will be treated as debt instruments issued by the Upper-Tier REMIC for all federal income tax purposes.  Income on the Regular Certificates must be reported under an accrual method of accounting.  Under the accrual method of accounting, interest income may be required to be included in a holder's gross income in advance of the holder's actual receipt of that interest income.

Certain Regular Certificates may be treated as having been issued with OID.  The prepayment assumption that will be used for purposes of computing original issue discount, if any, for federal income tax purposes will be set forth in the prospectus supplement.  No representation is made that the Mortgage Loans will, in fact, prepay at this rate or any other rate.  Computing accruals of OID in the manner described in the prospectus may (depending on the actual rate of prepayments during the accrual period) result in the accrual of negative amounts of OID on the certificates issued with OID in an accrual period. Holders will be entitled to offset negative accruals of OID only against future OID accruals on their certificates.

As is described more fully under “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the prospectus, the Offered Certificates will represent "real estate assets" under Section 856(c)(5)(B) of the Code and qualifying assets under Section 7701(a)(19)(C) of the Code generally in the same proportion that the assets of the Issuing Entity (exclusive of any assets not included in any REMIC) would be so treated, and income on the Offered Certificates generally will represent “interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property” under Section 856(c)(3)(B) of the Code in the same proportion that the income on the assets of the Issuing Entity (exclusive of any assets not included in the REMIC) will be so treated. The Regular Certificates will represent qualified mortgages under Section 860G(a)(3) if acquired by a REMIC within the prescribed time periods of the Code.

The Residual Certificates

Special tax considerations apply to an investment in the residual certificates.  In certain circumstances, the residual certificates can produce a significantly less favorable after-tax return for a beneficial owner than would be the case if (i) the residual certificates were taxable as a debt instrument, or (ii) no portion of taxable income allocated to the residual certificates were “excess inclusion” income.  See “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences —Taxation of Holders of Residual Interest Securities” in the prospectus.

Under applicable Treasury regulations, if a residual certificate is a “noneconomic residual interest,” as described in the prospectus, the transfer of a residual certificate to a U.S. Person will be disregarded for all federal tax purposes unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.  The residual certificates will be considered a “noneconomic residual interest” for this purpose.  See “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences — Taxation of Holders of Residual Interest Securities — Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer of Residual Interest Securities” in the prospectus.

Other Taxes

No representations are made regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the certificates under any state, local or foreign tax law.

All investors should consult their own advisors regarding the federal, state, local or foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning or disposing of the certificates.

ERISA MATTERS

ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code impose requirements on certain Plans to which they are applicable and on persons who are fiduciaries with respect to these Plans.  ERISA prohibits “parties in interest” with respect to a Plan from engaging in certain transactions involving the Plan and its assets unless a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption applies to the transaction.  Section 4975 of the Code imposes certain excise taxes on prohibited transactions involving Plans described under that section; ERISA authorizes the imposition of civil penalties for prohibited transactions involving Plans not covered under Section 4975 of the Code.  Any Plan fiduciary which proposes to cause a Plan to acquire any of the Offered Certificates should consult with its counsel with respect to the potential consequences under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code of the Plan’s acquisition and ownership of such Certificates.  Investments by Plans that are also subject to ERISA are subject to ERISA’s general fiduciary requirements, including the requirement of investment prudence and diversification and the requirement that a Plan’s investments be made in accordance with the documents governing the Plan.  A fiduciary which decides to invest the assets of a Plan in the Offered Certificates should consider, among other factors, the extreme sensitivity of the investments to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the Mortgage Loans.  See “ERISA Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus.

Certain employee benefit plans, including governmental plans and certain church plans, are not subject to ERISA’s requirements.  Accordingly, assets of those plans may be invested in the Offered Certificates without regard to the ERISA considerations described in this supplemental term sheet and in the accompanying prospectus, subject to the provisions of other applicable federal and state law.  Any such plan which is qualified and exempt from taxation under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code may be subject to the prohibited transaction rules set forth in Section 503 of the Code.

The U.S. Department of Labor has granted to the Underwriter an administrative Exemption which exempts from the application of the prohibited transaction rules transactions relating to:

·

the acquisition, holding and sale by Plans of certain securities issued by a trust with respect to which the Underwriter or any of its affiliates is the sole underwriter or the manager or co-manager of the underwriting syndicate, and

·

the servicing, operation and management of such trusts,

·

provided that the general conditions and certain other requirements set forth in the Exemption are satisfied as described in the accompanying prospectus.

This relief does not apply to Plans sponsored by members of the “restricted group” consisting of the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Trustee, each underwriter, any obligor with respect to Mortgage Loans included in the assets of the Issuing Entity constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the assets of the Issuing Entity, a provider of credit enhancement to the Issuing Entity, a counterparty to an eligible swap agreement held by the Issuing Entity or any affiliate of one of these parties.

It is expected that the Exemption will apply to the acquisition and holding by Plans that qualify as accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 of the Offered Certificates (except for the Class A-R Certificate) and that all conditions of the exemption other than those within the control of the investors will be met.

The rating of a class of Offered Certificates may change.  If a class of Offered Certificates no longer has a rating of at least “BBB-” from at least one rating agency identified in the exemption, such as S&P, Fitch Ratings or Moody’s, Certificates of that class will no longer be eligible for relief under the Exemption (although a Plan that had purchased the Certificate when it had an investment-grade rating would not be required by the Exemption to dispose of it).  However, insurance company general accounts investing assets of Plans may be eligible to purchase such Offered Certificates pursuant to Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.

BECAUSE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ANY RESIDUAL CERTIFICATE MAY NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EXEMPTION DISCUSSED ABOVE OR ANY OTHER ISSUED EXEMPTION UNDER ERISA INCLUDING PTCE 83-1, THE PURCHASE AND HOLDING OF THE CLASS A-R CERTIFICATE BY A PLAN OR BY INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS OR OTHER PLANS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE MAY RESULT IN PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS AND THE IMPOSITION OF EXCISE TAXES OR CIVIL PENALTIES.  CONSEQUENTLY, THE ACQUISITION AND TRANSFER OF THE CLASS A-R CERTIFICATE WILL NOT BE REGISTERED BY THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR UNLESS THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEE RECEIVES:

·

a representation from the transferee of any residual certificate to the effect that the transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to section 4975 of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer;

·

a representation that the transferee is an insurance company which is purchasing any residual certificate with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of PTCE 95-60) and that the purchase and holding of such residual certificate satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or

·

an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the certificate registrar to the effect that the proposed transfer will not (i) constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) subject the certificate registrar, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken by them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Prospective Plan investors should consult with their legal advisors concerning the impact of ERISA and the Code, the applicability of the exemption described above and PTCE 83-1 described in the prospectus, and the potential consequences in their specific circumstances prior to making an investment in the Offered Certificates.  Moreover, each Plan fiduciary should determine whether under the general fiduciary standards of investment prudence and diversification, an investment in the Offered Certificates is appropriate for the Plan, taking into account the overall investment policy of the Plan and the composition of the Plan’s investment portfolio.

The sale of Offered Certificates to a Plan is in no respect a representation by the Issuing Entity or the Underwriter of the certificates that this investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans generally or any particular Plan, or that this investment is appropriate for Plans generally or any particular Plan.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the Certificates will be passed upon for the Depositor by McKee Nelson LLP, New York, New York.  Certain tax matters will be passed upon for the Depositor by McKee Nelson LLP.  McKee Nelson LLP will act as counsel for the Underwriter.

RATINGS

It is a condition of the issuance of the Certificates that they be rated as set forth in the term sheet by each of the Rating Agencies, as applicable.

The ratings assigned to mortgage pass through certificates address the likelihood of the receipt of all payments on the mortgage loans by the related certificateholders under the agreements pursuant to which such certificates are issued.  Such ratings take into consideration the credit quality of the related mortgage pool, including any credit support providers, structural and legal aspects associated with such certificates, and the extent to which the payment stream on the mortgage pool is adequate to make the payments required by such certificates.  Ratings on such certificates do not, however, constitute a statement regarding frequency of prepayments of the Mortgage Loans.  

The rating assigned by a Rating Agency to the residual certificates only addresses the return of its Class Principal Amount and interest thereon at the stated rate.  

The ratings assigned to the Offered Certificates should be evaluated independently from similar ratings on other types of securities.  A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the Rating Agencies.

The Depositor has not requested a rating of the Offered Certificates by any rating agency other than the Rating Agencies; there can be no assurance, however, as to whether any other rating agency will rate the Offered Certificates or, if it does, what rating would be assigned by such other rating agency.  The rating assigned by such other rating agency to the Offered Certificates could be lower than the respective ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies.

LEGAL INVESTMENT

The Depositor makes no representations as to the proper characterization of any class of the Offered Certificates for legal investment or other purposes, or as to the ability of particular investors to purchase any class of the Offered Certificates under applicable legal investment restrictions.  These uncertainties may adversely affect the liquidity of any class of Offered Certificates.  Accordingly, all institutions whose investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements or review by regulatory authorities should consult with their legal advisors in determining whether and to what extent any class of the Offered Certificates constitutes a legal investment or is subject to investment, capital or other restrictions.

See “Legal Investment” in the prospectus.
