This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of February 1, 2007 (this “Agreement”), is executed by and among Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), Clayton Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk Manager”), 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 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 Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates, have been offered for sale pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement dated February 28, 2007 to a Prospectus dated May 19, 2006 (together, the “Prospectus”).  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.

The Securities Administrator shall elect that each of REMIC I, REMIC II, and REMIC III be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code.  Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections.  The assets of REMIC I shall include the Loans, the accounts (other than the Collateral Account, the Reserve Fund, the Cap Account and the Swap Account), any REO Property, and any proceeds of the foregoing.  The REMIC I Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC II.  The REMIC II Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC III (the “Master REMIC”).  The Class R Certificate shall represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each REMIC formed hereby.  For purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each regular interest created hereby shall be the 36th month following the latest maturity date of any Loan held in the Trust on the Closing Date.

REMIC I:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC I, each of which (other than the R-I interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC I (the “REMIC I Regular Interests”):

___________________

(1)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for the T1-A Interest is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Loans (the “REMIC I Net WAC Rate”).

(2)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for this interest is a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) the REMIC Swap Rate, and (ii) the product of (a) the REMIC I Net WAC Rate and (b) 2.

(3)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the REMIC I Net WAC Rate and (b) 2, over (ii) the REMIC Swap Rate.

(4)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate initial principal balance of the Loans over (ii) the aggregate initial principal balance of all remaining REMIC I Regular Interests.

(5)

The R-I interest shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest.  The R-I interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC I.  

(6)

This interest shall also be entitled to all Trust Prepayment Charges received in respect of the Loans.

 

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC I based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal with respect to the Loans shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

(a)

First, to the T1-A interest until the outstanding principal balance of such interest is reduced to zero, and

(b)

Second, sequentially, to the other REMIC I Regular Interests in ascending order of their numerical designation, and, with respect to each pair of REMIC I Regular Interests having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such REMIC I Regular Interest, until the principal balance of each is reduced to zero.

REMIC II:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC II, each of which (other than the R-II interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC II (the “REMIC II Regular Interests”):

____________________

___________________

(1)

The interest rate for each of these interests (the “REMIC Maximum Rate”) with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates of the regular interests in REMIC I provided , however , that for any Distribution Date on which the Class T2-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a REMIC I Regular Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote two below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such REMIC I interest to a cap equal to the product of the interest rate used to compute the Net Swap Payment for the Swap Agreement adjusted to reflect the day count convention used for such interest rate (“Swap MTA”) for such Distribution Date and 2.

(2)

The Class T2-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal balance.  For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column in the table below, the Class T2-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on the REMIC I Regular Interest listed in  the second column in the table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii)  Swap MTA for such Distribution Date.

 

 

(3)

The R-II interest shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest.  The R-II interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC II.  

(4)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to one-half of the initial Certificate Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates.

(5)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate initial principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interests over (ii) the aggregate initial principal balance of the REMIC II Accretion Directed Classes.

(6)

This interest is a REMIC II Accretion Directed Class.

(7)

This interest shall also be entitled to all Trust Prepayment Charges received in respect of the Loans.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC II based on the above-described interest rates, provided however, that interest that accrues on the T2-Accrual Interest shall be deferred to the extent necessary to make the distributions of principal described below.  Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the T2-Accrual Interest.    

On each Distribution Date the principal distributed on the interests in REMIC I (together with an amount equal to the interest deferred on the T2-Accrual Interest for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the interests in REMIC II in the following order of priority:

(a)

First, to each interest in REMIC II having a Corresponding Class in REMIC III until the outstanding principal amount of each such interest equals one-half of the outstanding principal amount of such Corresponding Class for such interest immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(b)

Second, to the T2-Accrual Interest, any remaining amounts.

 

REMIC III:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC III, each of which (other than the R-III interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC III (the “REMIC III Regular Interests”):

____________________

(1)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates.

(2)

The T3-X interest has a notional balance equal to the aggregate initial principal balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests.  The interest rate of the T3-X interest shall be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest from the Loans to accrue on the T3-X interest that is in excess of the total amount of interest that accrues on each other regular interest in REMIC III.  For any Distribution Date, the interest rate in respect of the T3-X interest shall be the excess of: (i) the weighted average interest rate of all interests in REMIC II (other than any interest-only regular interest) over (ii) the product of: (A) two and (B) the weighted average interest rate of the REMIC II Accretion Directed Classes and the T2-Accrual Interest, where the T2-Accrual Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each REMIC II Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate on its Corresponding Class of Certificates, provided that, for purposes of determining the Pass-Through Rate, the REMIC Maximum Rate shall be substituted for the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate in the definition thereof.  The T3-X interest shall also be entitled to principal equal to the excess of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of the other Certificates the Closing Date.  Such principal balance shall not bear interest.  Finally, the T3-X Interest shall be entitled to receive all amounts payable on the T2-IO interest.

(3)

This interest shall bear interest at the Pass-Through Rate for its Corresponding Class of Certificates, provided that, for purposes of determining the Pass-Through Rate, the REMIC Maximum Rate shall be substituted for the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate in the definition thereof.

(4)

REMIC III shall also issue the R-III interest, which shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest.  The R-III interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC III.

(5)

For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class of Certificates corresponding to an interest in the Master REMIC shall represent beneficial ownership of such interest in the Master REMIC.  Any amount distributed on a Corresponding Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on each interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates shall be treated as having been paid from the Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable, and any amount distributable on each interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on that Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 10.1(l) hereof.

(6)

The T3-P interest shall not be entitled to payments of interest, but shall be entitled to receive all Trust Prepayment Charges in respect of the Loans.  

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC III based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, the principal distributed on the REMIC II interests  shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the interests in REMIC III in an amount equal to the principal distributions and Realized Loss allocations for such Distribution Date with respect to the Corresponding Class of Certificates related to such interests, determined without regard to the Swap Agreement.
