THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of February 1, 2007, among SECURITIZED ASSET BACKED RECEIVABLES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the “Depositor”), LITTON LOAN SERVICING LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as servicer (the “Servicer”), CREDIT-BASED ASSET SERVICING AND SECURITIZATION LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (the “Seller”), and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”),

W I T N E S S E T H:

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of the assets held in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, the Swap Agreement, and the Supplemental Interest Trust (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Property”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising seven real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, the Lower Tier REMIC 1, the Lower Tier REMIC 2, the Middle Tier REMIC, the Upper Tier REMIC, the Class B-4 REMIC, the Class CE REMIC, and the Class P REMIC”).  Each Certificate, other than the Class B-4, Class CE-1, Class CE-2, Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.  In addition, each Class of Certificates (other than the Class CE-1, Class CE-2, Class R, Class R-X, and Class P Certificates) represents the right to receive payments with respect to Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts.  The Class CE-1 Certificate represents ownership of a regular interest in the Class CE REMIC and also represents ownership of the assets held from time to time in the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust.  Each of the Class B-4 and Class P Certificates represents ownership of a regular interest in the Class B-4 REMIC and Class P REMIC, respectively.  The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each of the Lower Tier REMIC 1, the Middle Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC.  The Class R-X Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each remaining REMIC.  

Lower Tier REMIC 2 will consist of all amounts distributable in respect of the Class CE-2 Certificates and the LT-R2 interest, which represents the sole class of residual interest in Lower Tier REMIC 2.  The Class P REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Class P interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.  The Class CE REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Class CE-1 interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.  The Class B-4 REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Class B-4 interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.  The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the several classes of uncertificated Middle Tier Interests in the Middle Tier REMIC, other than the Class MT-R Interest, and each such Middle Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Middle Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Middle Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in the Lower Tier REMIC 1, other than the Class LT-R1 Interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC 1.  The Lower Tier REMIC 1 shall hold as assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the interests in any other REMIC formed hereby.  The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date.  In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created hereby is the Distribution Date in the thirty-sixth month following the month in which the Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund as of the Closing Date having the latest maturity date matures.

The Lower Tier REMIC 1

(1)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for the Class LT-A Interest is a per annum rate equal to the Lower Tier REMIC WAC Cap.

(2)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for each of these Lower Tier Interests is a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date, and (ii) the product of (a) the Lower Tier REMIC WAC Cap 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 Lower Tier REMIC WAC Cap and (b) 2, over (ii) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date.

(4)

The Class LT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC 1.  It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

(5)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the aggregate initial principal balances of each other interest in Lower Tier REMIC 1.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first pay or charge as an expense of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust for such Distribution Date other than any Net Trust Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment.

On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute the remaining Interest Remittance Amount (computed by ignoring any payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust) with respect to each of the Lower Tier Interests based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Principal Remittance Amount (computed by ignoring any payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust) with respect to the Lower Tier Interests in Lower Tier REMIC 1, first to the Class LT-A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then sequentially, to the other Lower Tier Interests in Lower Tier REMIC 1 in ascending order of their numerical class designation, and, with respect to each pair of classes having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such class, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero.  All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower Tier Interests in Lower Tier REMIC 1 in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Prepayment Charges to the Class LT-V47 Lower Tier Interest.

The Middle Tier REMIC

The interest rate for each of these Middle Tier 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 on the Lower Tier Interests in Lower Tier REMIC 1, provided, however, that for any Distribution Date on which the Class MT-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a Lower Tier Interest in Lower Tier REMIC 1 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 Lower Tier Interest to a cap equal to the product of two and the interest rate used to compute the payment to the Swap Provider, adjusted to reflect the day count convention used for such interest rate (“Swap LIBOR”) for such Distribution Date.

(2)

The Class MT-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 MT-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on the Lower Tier Interest listed in second column in the table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for such Lower Tier Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

The Class MT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Middle Tier REMIC.  It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

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

On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute interest on the Middle Tier Interests based on the above-described interest rates, provided, however, that interest that accrues on the Class MT-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the overcollateralization amount for such Distribution Date.  Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class MT-Q Interest.  An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other Middle Tier Interests having a principal balance in the manner described below.

On each Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Middle Tier Interests in the following order of priority:

a.

 First, to each Middle Tier Interest with a Corresponding Class of Certificates in the Upper Tier REMIC until the principal balance of each such Middle Tier Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

b.

Second, to the Class MT-Q Interests, any remaining amounts.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to have distributed the Prepayment Charges passed through with respect to the Class LT-V47 Lower Tier Interest on such Distribution Date to the Class MT-Q Interest.

Upper Tier REMIC

The Upper Tier REMIC shall issue the following classes of Upper Tier Regular Interests, and each such interest, other than the Class UT-R Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.

The Class CE-1 Interest shall comprise three components, each of which is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.  The first component is a principal-only component and represents the right to receive distributions from the Upper Tier REMIC in an amount equal to the Subordinated Amount determined as of the Closing Date less $100.  The second component is an interest-only component and represents the right to receive on each Distribution Date interest accrued on the regular interests in the Middle Tier REMIC (other than any interest-only interest) at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the REMIC Maximum Rate over (ii) the product of: (A) two and (B) the weighted average interest rate of such Middle Tier Interests (other than any interest-only regular interest), where the MT-Q Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each remaining Middle Tier REMIC Regular Interest is subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate on its Corresponding Class of Certificates, determined by (i) substituting the REMIC Maximum Rate for the applicable Net WAC Cap and (ii) multiplying such rate by an amount equal to the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period divided by 30, in the case of any Corresponding Class of Certificates for which interest is accrued on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period.  The third component is an interest-only component and represents the right to receive all amounts distributable on the Class MT-IO Interest.

(6)

The Class CE-2 Certificates represent the right to receive amounts in respect of the regular interest in Lower Tier REMIC 2 and do not represent any interest in any other REMIC formed hereby.

(7)

The Class P Interest is entitled to Prepayment Charges only and will not accrue interest.

(8)

The Class UT-R Interest does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.  

(9)

Any interest payable on this Class of Certificates reflecting an interest rate greater than the REMIC Maximum Rate shall be treated as having been paid pursuant to the cap contract described in Section 8.11; and on any Distribution Date on which the Pass-Through Rate on a Class of Certificates is based on a Net WAC Cap, the amount of interest that would have accrued on such Class of Certificates if the REMIC Maximum Rate were substituted for the applicable Net WAC Cap shall be treated as having been paid by the holders of the applicable Class of Certificates to the Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 8.11.

If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee, upon its notification by the Custodian, if applicable, shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer.  In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller, Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans and the Related Documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property not be part of the Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency by the Depositor.  In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Related Documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

Section 2.03

Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller.

(a)

Upon discovery or receipt from the Custodian of written notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or receipt from the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, or the Custodian of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04 in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) shall promptly notify the Seller and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 120 days or 150 days following the Closing Date, in the case of missing Mortgages or Assignments from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, and such breach or defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the certificateholders, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and inform the Seller of its obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 120 day period (subject to Section 2.03(e)); provided that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 120 day or 150 day period, if the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach within such 120 day or 150 day period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period provided under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File.  In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Defective Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d).  It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(b)

 [Reserved].

(c)

Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

(d)

Any substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date.  As to any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage 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 2.01(b), together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.  The Trustee shall acknowledge (or cause the Custodian to acknowledge) receipt for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, shall review (or cause the Custodian to review) such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer, with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.  Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan(s), with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.  Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller.  For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan.  The Seller shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Custodian.  Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all applicable representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04, in each case as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Interest Rate.  On the date of such substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian of the related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller 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 the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Defective Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(l) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.  If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.

(e)

Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage 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 Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.  In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan.  In addition, upon discovery that a Mortgage Loan is defective in a manner that would cause it to be a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Treasury regulations relating to REMICs, the Seller shall cure the defect or make the required purchase or substitution no later than 90 days after the discovery of the defect.  Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a), if made by the Seller.  The Trustee shall cause the Custodian to reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that any functions with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 and preparation and delivery of the certifications in the form of Exhibit E and Exhibits F-1 and F-2 shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement.  The fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be paid by the Servicer.

Section 2.04

Representations and Warranties of the Seller with Respect to the Mortgage Loans.  The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Depositor that as of the Closing Date or as of such other date specifically provided herein:

(a)

The representations and warranties made by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are hereby being made to the Trustee and are true and correct as of the Closing Date.

(b)

Any written agreement between the Mortgagor in respect of a Mortgage Loan and the Servicer modifying such Mortgagor’s obligation to make payments under the Mortgage Loan (such modified Mortgage Loan, a “Modified Mortgage Loan”) involved some assessment of the Mortgagor’s ability to repay the Modified Mortgage Loan.

With respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 that are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders then, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Section that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and in no event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery.  Within ninety days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing or materially defective documentation or any such breach of a representation or warranty, the Seller shall promptly deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects, or in the event such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute for it one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, in either case, in accordance with Section 2.03.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Depositor notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(a) to cure, substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement constitute the sole remedies available to the Depositor and to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.04.

Section 2.05
