This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and
effective as of [______] 1, 2006 (this “Agreement”), is
executed by and among Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc., as depositor
(the “Depositor”), [Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association], as master servicer (the “Master
Servicer”) and securities administrator (the
“Securities Administrator”), and [HSBC Bank USA,
National Association], as trustee (the “Trustee”).
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article I
hereof.
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The Depositor at the Closing Date is the owner
of the Loans and the other property being conveyed by it to the
Trustee for inclusion in the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will
consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised of the Loans, the
Subsequent Loans and certain other assets. On the Closing Date, the
Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trust Fund as
consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Loans and
certain other assets and will be the owner of the Certificates. The
Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this
Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Loans
and the issuance to the Depositor of the Certificates representing
in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein with
respect to the Loans and the other property constituting the Trust
Fund are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the
Certificates. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and
the Trustee is accepting the trust created hereby, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged.
The Certificates issued hereunder, other than
the Junior Subordinate Certificates and Class P Certificates, have
been offered for sale pursuant to a Prospectus, dated
[___________], 2006, and a Prospectus Supplement, dated
[___________], 2006 of the Depositor (together, the
“Prospectus”). The Junior Subordinate Certificates have
been offered for sale pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum,
dated [___________], 2006. The Trust Fund created hereunder is
intended to be the “Trust” as described in the
Prospectus and the Certificates are intended to be the
“Certificates” described therein.
REMIC I
As provided herein, the Trustee will make an
election to treat the segregated pool of assets described in the
definition of REMIC I (as defined herein), and subject to this
Agreement, as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a
“REMIC”) for federal income tax purposes and such
segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC
I”. The REMIC I Regular Interests will be the “regular
interests” in REMIC I and Component R-1 of the Class R
Certificates will represent the sole Class of “residual
interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
(as defined herein) under the federal income tax law. The following
table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated
REMIC I Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal
Balance, and for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section

For purposes of
Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the

Pass-Through Rate” herein.
|
As provided herein, the Trustee will make an
election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the
REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as
“REMIC II”. Component R-2 of the Class R Certificates
shall represent the sole Class of “residual interests”
in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal
income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designations, the Pass-Through Rate and initial aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance for each Class of Certificates which,
together with Component R-2, constitute the entire beneficial
interests in REMIC II. Determined for purposes of satisfying
Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest

respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee
and the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
representation made by Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable], in Section
6(xxiv) of the [related] Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement is
breached, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of Sponsor [or
AHMC, as applicable], to repurchase such Loan at the Purchase
Price, or to provide a Substitute Loan (plus any costs and damages
incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation by any
such Loan of any predatory or abusive lending law) within ninety
(90) days after the date on which Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable,]
was notified of such breach.
In addition, promptly upon the earlier of
discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice from a
Servicer or Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable,] to a Responsible
Officer of the Master Servicer of the breach of the representation
of Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable,] set forth in Section 5(x) of
the [related] Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Certificates
in any Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable,] and the Trustee of such breach.
The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of Sponsor [or AHMC, as
applicable,] under the [related] Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
to remedy such breach to the extent and in the manner set forth in
the [related] Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
(b) Any substitution of Substitute Loans for
Deleted Loans made pursuant to Section 2.3(a) must be effected
prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for
REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Loan for which Sponsor [or
AHMC, as applicable,] substitutes a Substitute Loan or Loans, such
substitution shall be effected by Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable,]
delivering to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of
the Trustee, for such Substitute Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note,
the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other
documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon,
as are required by Section 2 of the applicable Custodial Agreement,
as applicable, together with an Officers’ Certificate
providing that each such applicable Substitute Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount
(as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.
The applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge
receipt of such Substitute Loan or Loans and, within ten (10)
Business Days thereafter, review such documents and deliver to the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, with respect to
such Substitute Loan or Loans, an initial certification pursuant to
the applicable Custodial Agreement, with any applicable exceptions
noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the
applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer a final
certification pursuant to the applicable Custodial Agreement with
respect to such Substitute Loan or Loans, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Substitute Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC
I and shall be retained by Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable]. For
the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
shall reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Loan on or
before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and Sponsor [or
AHMC, as applicable,] shall thereafter be entitled to retain all
amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The
Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the
Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall
amend the Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan
from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Substitute Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended
Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. Upon such
substitution, such Substitute Loan or Loans shall constitute part
of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms
of this Agreement and the [related] Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement including all applicable representations and warranties
thereof included herein or in the [related] Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.
For any month in which Sponsor [or AHMC, as
applicable,] substitutes one or more Substitute Loans for one or
more Deleted Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount
(the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which
the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Loans exceeds the
aggregate of, as to each such Substitute Loan, the Scheduled
Principal Balance thereof as of the Due Date in the month of
substitution, together with one month’s interest on such
Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate,
plus all outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances (including
Nonrecoverable Advances) related thereto. On the date of such
substitution, Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable,] shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit
in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Substitution
Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee or the applicable
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related
Substitute Loan or Loans and certification by the Securities
Administrator of such deposit and receipt by the applicable
Custodian of a properly completed request for release for such Loan
in the form of Exhibit 3 to the applicable Custodial
Agreement, shall release to Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable,] the
related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty, as Sponsor [or AHMC,
as applicable,] shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to
vest therein any Deleted Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable,]
shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any REMIC, including
without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited
transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
“contributions after the startup date” under Section
860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, Sponsor,
[AHMC,] the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Loan does not
constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall within two (2) Business Days give written notice thereof to
the other parties. In connection therewith, Sponsor [or AHMC, as
applicable,] shall repurchase or substitute one or more Substitute
Loans for the affected Loan within ninety (90) days of the earlier
of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such
affected Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i)
Sponsor [or AHMC, as applicable,] if the affected Loan’s
status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of
any representation, warranty or covenant made by Sponsor [or AHMC,
as applicable,] under the [related] Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Loan’s
status as a non-qualified mortgage does not result from a breach of
representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.3(a).
The Trustee shall reconvey to Sponsor [, AHMC] or the Depositor the
Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the
same terms and conditions, as it would a Loan repurchased for
breach of a representation or warranty.
(d) Within ninety (90) days of the earlier of
discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master
Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.5 which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the related
Certificateholders in any Loan or Prepayment Charge, the Master
Servicer shall cure such breach in all material
respects.
Section 2.4 Authentication and Delivery of Certificates;
Designation of Certificates as REMIC Regular Interests and Residual
Interests .
(a) The Trustee acknowledges the transfer to the
extent provided herein and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and,
concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has caused the
Securities Administrator to execute and authenticate and has
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for
the Trust Fund, Certificates evidencing the entire ownership of the
Trust Fund.
(b) This Agreement shall be construed so as to
carry out the intention of the parties that each of REMIC I and
REMIC II be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on
which the Trust Fund is terminated. The “regular

860G(a)(1) of the Code) of REMIC I shall consist of the REMIC I
Regular Interests. The “residual interest” (within the
meaning of Section 860(G)(a)(2) of the Code) of REMIC I shall
consist of Component R-1.
