This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of January 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”), 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 I-CE, Class I-R, Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class II-B-6 Certificates, have been offered for sale pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement dated January 24, 2007 to a Prospectus dated May 19, 2006 (together, the “Prospectus”).  The Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class II-B-6 Certificates have been offered for sale pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated January 26, 2007.  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 Trustee shall elect that each of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV and REMIC V 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.  Each of REMIC I, REMIC II, and REMIC III (each a “Group I REMIC”) shall relate to Group I, and each of REMIC IV and REMIC V (each a “Group II REMIC”) shall relate to Group II.  The assets of REMIC I shall include the portion of the Trust Fund related to Group I (other than the Reserve Fund and both Swap Accounts).  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 “Group I Master REMIC”).  The Class I-R Certificate shall represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each Group I REMIC formed hereby.  The assets of REMIC IV shall include the portion of the Trust Fund related to Group II.  The REMIC IV Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC V (the “Group II Master REMIC”).  The Class II-AR Certificate shall represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each Group II 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”):

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.

 

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

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 Group I 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 Group I Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of the other Group I 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 Group I Master REMIC shall represent beneficial ownership of such interest in the Group I 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 Group I 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 Group I 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 11.1(l) hereof.

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 either Swap Agreement.

Each Interest with “A” in its designation shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Subordinate Component of its corresponding Loan Subgroup.  Each Interest with “B” in its designation shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Subordinate Component of  its corresponding Loan Subgroup.   The initial principal balance of each interest with “C” in its designation shall equal the excess of the Principal Balance of its corresponding Loan Subgroup over the sum of (i) the initial principal balances of the interests with “A” or “B” in their designations corresponding to such Loan Subgroup, and (ii) the principal balance of the T4-PO1 in the case of Subgroup II-1 or the T4-PO2 Interest, in the case of Subgroup II-2.

(2)

This interest shall not have any principal balance.

(3)

This interest shall be entitled to receive all interest accrued at the related Stripped Interest Rate on each Subgroup II-1 Non-Discount Mortgage Loan.

(4)

This interest shall be entitled to receive all interest accrued at the related Stripped Interest Rate on each Subgroup II-2 Non-Discount Mortgage Loan.

(5)

The T4-1PO Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the initial balance of the Class II-1PO Certificate.

(6)

The T4-2PO Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the initial balance of the Class II-2PO Certificate.

(7)

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

 

Unless a Cross-over Situation (as defined below) exists, principal and Realized Losses arising with respect to each Loan Subgroup shall be allocated first to cause the interests with “A” and “B” in their designations corresponding to such loan Subgroup to equal 0.9% and 0.1% of the Subordinate Component of such Loan Subgroup as of such Distribution Date and all excess principal and Realized Losses shall be allocated to the interest with “C” in its designation corresponding to such Loan Subgroup.  An interest with “A”, “B”, or “C” in its designation that is allocated principal on any Distribution Date shall receive such principal, and have its principal balance reduced by the amount of such principal, on such Distribution Date.  Similarly, an interest with “A”, “B”, or “C” in its designation that is allocated a Realized Loss on any Distribution Date shall have its principal balance reduced by the amount of such Realized Loss on such Distribution Date.

A “Cross-over Situation” exists if on any Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal and allocations of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date) the interests with “A” or “B” in their designation corresponding to any Loan Subgroup are in the aggregate less than 1% of the Subordinate Component of the Loan Subgroups to which they correspond.  In the event that a Cross-Over Situation exists on any Distribution Date, and the weighted average rate of the outstanding interests with “A” or “B” in their designation related to a Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates is less than the Pass-Through Rate for such class of Group II Subordinate Certificates, a Principal Relocation Payment (as defined below) shall be made proportionately to such outstanding interests with “A” in their prior to any other distributions of principal from each such Loan Subgroup.  In the event that a Cross-Over Situation exists on any Distribution Date, and the weighted average rate of the outstanding interests with “A” and “B” in their designation related to a Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates is greater than the Pass-Through Rate for such class of Group II Subordinate Certificates, a Principal Relocation Payment shall be made proportionately to such outstanding interests with “B” in its designation prior to any other distributions of principal from each such Loan Subgroup.  A “Principal Relocation Payment” is a distribution of principal that causes the Calculation Rate (as defined below) on the outstanding interest with “A” or “B” in its designation related to a Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates to equal the Pass-Through Rate for such class of Group II Subordinate Certificates.  The “Calculation Rate” shall equal the product of (i) 10 and (ii) the weighted average rate of the outstanding interests with “A” or “B” in their designations related to a Class of Group II Subordinate Certificates, treating each interest with “A” in its designation as capped at zero or reduced by a fixed percentage of 100% of the interest accruing on such class.  Principal Relocation Payments shall be made from principal received on the Loans from the related Loan Subgroup and shall also consist of a proportionate allocation of Realized Losses from the Loans of the related Loan Subgroup.  For purposes of making Principal Relocation Payments, to the extent that the principal received during the Collection Period from the related Loan Subgroup and Realized Losses are insufficient to make the necessary reduction of principal, then interest shall accrue on the interest with “C” in its designation related to a Loan Subgroup (and be added to their principal balances) that are not receiving a Principal Relocation Payment to allow the necessary Principal Relocation Payment to be made.

If a Cross-Over Situation exists, the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the related interests with “A” or “B” in their designations shall not be reduced below one percent of the aggregate principal balance of the related Loan Subgroup as of the end of any Collection Period in excess of the Group II Senior Certificates related to such Loan Subgroup as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal and allocations of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date).  To the extent this limitation prevents the distribution of principal to the interests with “A” or “B” in their designations of a Loan Subgroup and the related interest with “C” in its designation has already been reduced to zero, such excess principal from the other Loan Subgroups shall be paid proportionately to the interests with “C” in their designation of the Loan Subgroups whose aggregate interests with “A” or “B” in their designations are less than one percent of the Group II Subordinate Principal Amount for the related Loan Subgroup.  Any such shortfall as a result of the Loan Subgroups receiving the extra payment having a Ratio-strip Rate (as defined below) lower than the weighted average Ratio-strip Rate of the Loan Subgroup from which the payment was relocated shall be treated as a Realized Loss and if excess arises as a result of the Loan Subgroup receiving the extra payment having a Ratio-strip Rate higher than the Loan Subgroup from which the payment was relocated it shall reimburse REMIC V for prior Realized Losses.  The “Ratio-strip Rate” for each Loan Subgroup shall be equal to 6.000%.

The Class T4-PO1 and Class T4-PO2 interests shall be entitled to receive the Discount Fractional Principal Amount for Loan Subgroup II-1 and Loan Subgroup II-2, respectively.

REMIC V:

The following table sets forth characteristics of the interests in the Group II Master REMIC, each of which, except for the Class R-V interest, is hereby designated as a “regular interest” in REMIC V (the “REMIC V Regular Interests”):
