Yield Maintenance Payments

 

This Pooling Agreement is dated as of November 1, 2005 (the “ Agreement ”), among GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “ Depositor ”), GREENWICH CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as seller (the “ Seller ”) and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

Through this Agreement, the Depositor intends to cause the issuance and sale of the HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-16 Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-16 (the “ Certificates ”) representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust, the primary assets of which are the Mortgage Loans (as defined below).

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder.  The Certificates will consist of thirty-four classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class 1-A1A Certificates, (ii) the Class 1-A1B Certificates, (iii) the Class 2-A1A Certificates, (iv) the Class 2-A1B Certificates, (v) the Class 2-A1C Certificates, (vi) the Class 3-A1A Certificates, (vii) the Class 3-A1B Certificates, (viii) the Class 3-A1C Certificates, (ix) the Class 4-A1A Certificates, (x) the Class 4-A1B Certificates, (xi) the Class X-1 Certificates, (xii) the Class X-2 Certificates, (xiii) the Class X-3 Certificates, (xiv) the Class X-4 Certificates, (xv) the Class X-B Certificates, (xvi) the Class PO-1 Certificates, (xvii) the Class PO-2 Certificates, (xviii) the Class PO-3 Certificates, (xix) the Class PO-4 Certificates, (xx) the Class PO-B Certificates, (xxi) the Class A-R Certificates, (xxii) the Class A-R-II Certificates, (xxiii) the Class B-1 Certificates, (xxiv) the Class B-2 Certificates, (xxv) the Class B-3 Certificates, (xxvi) the Class B-4 Certificates, (xxvii) the Class B-5 Certificates, (xxviii) the Class B-6 Certificates, (xxix) the Class B-7 Certificates, (xxx) the Class B-8 Certificates, (xxxi) the Class B-9 Certificates, (xxxii) the Class B-10 Certificates, (xxxiii) the Class B-11 Certificates and (xxxiv) the Class B-12 Certificates.

As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of the assets held in the Prefunding Account, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Group 3 Prepayment Account, the Yield Maintenance Account and the Yield Maintenance Agreements (collectively, the “ Excluded Trust Property ”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising four real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “ REMIC ” or, in the alternative, the “ Pooling REMIC ,” the “ Lower-Tier REMIC ,” the “ Middle-Tier REMIC ” and the “ Upper-Tier REMIC ”).  Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R and Class A-R-II Certificates, shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein.  In addition, (i) the MTA and LIBOR Certificates represent the right to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as provided in Section 5.07, (ii) the Class 1-A1A, Class 1-A1B, Class 2-A1A, Class 2-A1B, Class 2-A1C, Class 3-A1A, Class 3-A1B and Class 3-A1C Certificates represent the right to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from the Yield Maintenance Account as provided in Section 4.04 and (iii) the Class X-3 Certificates represent the right to receive payments in respect of Class X-3 Amortization Shortfalls from the Group 3 Prepayment Account as provided in Section 5.09.  The owners of the Class X-1, Class X-2, Class X-3, Class X-4 and Class X-B Certificates beneficially own the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the owners of the Class X-1, Class X-2, Class X-3, Class X-4 and Class X-B Certificates beneficially own the Yield Maintenance Account and the owners of the Class X-3 Certificates beneficially own the Group 3 Prepayment Account.  The Class A-R-II Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Pooling REMIC, and the Class A-R Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier, the Middle-Tier and the Upper-Tier REMICs.

The Pooling REMIC shall hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund, other than the Excluded Trust Property and the Pooling REMIC Interests, the Lower-Tier REMIC Interests and the Middle-Tier REMIC Interests.  The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the uncertificated Pooling REMIC Interests, other than the PT-R Interest.  The Middle-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, other than the Class LT-R Interest.  Each such Lower-Tier Interest is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest.  The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the uncertificated Middle-Tier Interests, other than the Class MT-R Interest.  Each such Middle-Tier Interest is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest.  

Pooling REMIC Interests

 

(1)

The interest rate with respect to the first three Distribution Dates (and the related Accrual Periods) for each of these Pooling REMIC Interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Loan Rates on the first day of the related Due Period of only those Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group that are Initial Mortgage Loans, weighted on the basis of their Stated Principal Balances as of the first day of the related Due Period.  For each Distribution Date (and related Accrual Period) thereafter, the interest rate for each of these Pooling REMIC Interests shall be the Net WAC of the related Loan Group.

(2)

For the first three Distribution Dates (and the related Accrual Periods) each of these Pooling REMIC Interests shall not accrue interest on their principal balances, but shall be entitled to a specified portion of the interest that accrues on each Subsequent Mortgage Loan at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of the Net Loan Rate for such Mortgage Loan over the rate at which interest is payable on such Mortgage Loan (i.e., the Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loan).  For each Distribution Date (and related Accrual Period) thereafter, the interest rate for each of these Pooling REMIC Interests shall be the Net WAC of the related Loan Group.

(3)

Each of these Pooling REMIC Interests is an interest-only interest that does not have a principal balance.  For each of the first three Distribution Dates (and the related Accrual Periods) each of these Pooling REMIC Interests shall be entitled to 100% of the interest payable at the end of the related Due Period (net of any Deferred Interest) at the applicable Net Loan Rate on each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group that is a Subsequent Mortgage Loan.  For each Distribution Date thereafter, each of these Pooling REMIC Interests shall not be entitled to further distributions.   

(4)

The PT-R Interest is the sole residual interest in the Pooling REMIC.  Ownership of the PT-R Interest is represented by the Class A-R-II Certificate.  

On each Distribution Date, Available Funds for all Loan Groups shall be allocated among the Pooling REMIC Interests in the following order of priority:

 

(i)

First, to each of the PT-1, PT-2, PT-3, and PT-4 Interests, in reduction of their principal balances, an amount sufficient to cause the principal balance of each such Pooling REMIC Interest to equal the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances at the end of the related Due Period, after taking into account payments made during such Due Period, of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group that are Initial Mortgage Loans;

 

(ii)

Second, to each of the PT-1-PF, PT-2-PF. PT-3-PF, and PT-4-PF Interests, in reduction of their principal balances, an amount sufficient to cause the principal balance of each such Pooling REMIC Interest to equal the excess of the Pool Collateral Balance for the related Loan Group at the end of the related Due Period, after taking into account payments made during such Due Period, over the principal balance of the PT-1 Interest, in the case of Loan Group 1, the PT-2 Interests, in the case of Loan Group 2, the PT-3 Interest in the case of Loan Group 3, and the PT-4 Interest in the case of Loan Group 4;

 

(iii)

Third, to make interest distributions on the Pooling REMIC Interests at the interest rates described above, provided, however, that any Net Deferred Interest for any Loan Group shall be allocated among and shall increase the principal balances of the Pooling REMIC Interests in the same order of priority in which principal is distributed pursuant to priorities (i) and (ii) above;

 

(iv)

Finally, any remaining amounts to the PT-R Interest.

 

On any Distribution Date, after all distributions of Available Funds on such date, Realized Losses shall be allocated among the Pooling REMIC Interests in the same order of priority in which principal is distributed among such Pooling REMIC Interests pursuant to priorities (i) and (ii) above.
