This Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, effective as of [DATE], among SG Mortgage Securities,
LLC, as the depositor (together with its permitted successors and
assigns, the “Depositor”), [WELLS FARGO], as Master
Servicer (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the
“Master Servicer”), and [TRUSTEE], a banking
association organized under the laws of the United States, as
trustee (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the
“Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell
mortgage asset-backed pass-through certificates (collectively, the
“Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in [
] Classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans (as defined
herein) and certain other related assets.
REMIC I
As provided herein, the REMIC
Administrator will make an election to treat the segregated pool of
assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related
assets (exclusive of the Hedge Agreement) 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 Class R-I Certificates will represent the sole Class
of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law.
The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation,
remittance rate (the “Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through
Rate”) and initial Uncertificated Principal Balance for each
of the “regular interests” in REMIC I (the “REMIC
I Regular Interests”). The “latest possible maturity
date” (determined solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury
regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii)) for each REMIC I Regular
Interest shall be the Maturity Date. None of the REMIC I Regular
Interests will be certificated.

Administrator 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. The Class R-II Certificates will
represent the sole Class of “residual interests” in

The Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates will
represent ownership of REMIC II Regular Interests together with
certain rights to payments to be made from amounts received under
the Hedge Agreement which will be deemed made for federal income
tax purposes outside of REMIC II by the holder of the Class SB
Certificates as the owner of the Hedge Agreement. |
| (2) |
The REMIC II Regular Interests ownership of which
is represented by the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates,
will accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i)
LIBOR plus the applicable Margin and (ii) the REMIC Net WAC Rate
and the provisions for the payment of Basis Risk Shortfalls herein,
which payments will not be part of the entitlement of the REMIC II
Regular Interests related to such Certificates. |
| (3) |
The Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates will
also entitle their holders to certain payments from the Holder of
the Class SB Certificates from amounts to which the related REMIC
II Regular Interest is entitled and from amounts received under the
Hedge Agreement, which will not be a part of their ownership of the
REMIC II Regular Interests. |

Section 1.02 Determination
of LIBOR .
LIBOR applicable to the
calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on the LIBOR Certificates for
any Interest Accrual Period will be determined as of each LIBOR
Rate Adjustment Date. On each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date, or if
such LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date is not a Business Day, then on the
next succeeding Business Day, LIBOR shall be established by the
Trustee and, as to any Interest Accrual Period, will equal the rate
for one month United States dollar deposits that appears on the
Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such
LIBOR
50
Rate Adjustment Date. “Telerate
Screen Page 3750” means the display designated as page 3750
on the Bridge Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace
page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London
interbank offered rates of major banks). If such rate does not
appear on such page (or such other page as may replace that page on
that service, or if such service is no longer offered, LIBOR shall
be so established by use of such other service for displaying LIBOR
or comparable rates as may be selected by the Trustee after
consultation with the Master Servicer), the rate will be the
Reference Bank Rate. The “Reference Bank Rate” will be
determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S.
Dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be any
three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London
interbank market, selected by the Trustee after consultation with
the Master Servicer) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR
Rate Adjustment Date to prime banks in the London interbank market
for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates
then outstanding. The Trustee shall request the principal London
office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its
rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate will
be the arithmetic mean of the quotations rounded up to the next
multiple of 1/16%. If on such date fewer than two quotations are
provided as requested, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the
rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York City, selected
by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer, as of
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for loans in U.S.
Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month in
amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the LIBOR Certificates then outstanding. If no such
quotations can be obtained, the rate will be LIBOR for the prior
Distribution Date; provided however, if, under the priorities
described above, LIBOR for a Distribution Date would be based on
LIBOR for the previous Distribution Date for the third consecutive
Distribution Date, the Trustee, shall select an alternative
comparable index (over which the Trustee has no control), used for
determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated
and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent
party. The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee on any LIBOR Rate
Adjustment Date and the Trustee’s subsequent calculation of
the Pass-Through Rates applicable to the LIBOR Certificates for the
relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error,
will be final and binding. Promptly following each LIBOR Rate
Adjustment Date the Trustee shall supply the Master Servicer with
the results of its determination of LIBOR on such date.
Furthermore, the Trustee shall supply to any Certificateholder so
requesting by calling 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx the Pass-Through Rate on the
LIBOR Certificates for the current and the immediately preceding
Interest Accrual Period.

(iii) Unless the Mortgage

Mortgage with evidence of recording indicated thereon;
and
(v) The original of each
modification, assumption agreement or preferred loan agreement, if

The Depositor may, in lieu of
delivering the original of the documents set forth in Section
2.01(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) (or copies thereof as permitted by
Section 2.01(b)) to the Trustee or the Custodian or Custodians,
deliver such documents to the Master Servicer, and the Master
Servicer shall hold such documents in trust for the use and benefit

the Mortgage, any assignment, modification, assumption agreement or
preferred loan agreement (or copy thereof as permitted by Section
2.01(b)) with evidence of recording thereon concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement because of (i) a delay
caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage,
assignment, modification, assumption agreement or preferred loan
agreement as the case may be, has been delivered for recordation,
or (ii) a delay in the receipt of certain information necessary to
prepare the related assignments, the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the respective Custodian a

The Depositor shall promptly
cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real
property records the Assignment referred to in clause (iii) of
Section 2.01(b), except (a) in states where, in the opinion of
counsel acceptable to the Master Servicer, such recording is not
required to protect the Trustee’s interests in the Mortgage
Loan or (b) if MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly
recorded assignment of the Mortgage, as applicable, as the
mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its
successors and assigns. If any Assignment is lost or returned
unrecorded to the Depositor because of any defect therein, the
Depositor shall prepare a substitute Assignment or cure such
defect, as the case may be, and cause such Assignment to be
recorded in accordance with this paragraph. The Depositor shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the
respective Custodian such Mortgage or Assignment, as applicable (or
copy thereof as permitted by Section 2.01(b)), with evidence of
recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public
recording office or from the related Subservicer or
Seller.
If the Depositor delivers to
the Trustee or Custodian any Mortgage Note or Assignment of
Mortgage in blank, the Depositor shall, or shall cause the
Custodian to, complete the endorsement of the Mortgage Note and the
Assignment of Mortgage in the name of the Trustee in conjunction
with the Interim Certification issued by the Custodian, as
contemplated by Section 2.02.
Any of the items set forth in
Sections 2.01(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) and that may be delivered
as a copy rather than the original may be delivered to the Trustee
or the Custodian.
53
In connection with the
assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS ®
System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, at the
Depositor’s own expense, within 30 Business Days after the
Closing Date, the MERS ® System to indicate that such
Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee
in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of
Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this
Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which
identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field
“Pool Field” which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The
Depositor further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the
Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will
not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to
any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and
until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
(d) It is intended that the
conveyances by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans
as provided for in this Section 2.01 and the Uncertificated Regular
Interests be construed as a sale by the Depositor to the Trustee of
the Mortgage Loans and the Uncertificated Regular Interests for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. Further, it is not intended that
any such conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans
and the Uncertificated Regular Interests by the Depositor to the
Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
Nonetheless, (a) this Agreement is intended to be and hereby is a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of
any other applicable jurisdiction; (b) the conveyances provided for
in this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be (1) a grant by the
Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the
Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title
thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage Loans, including the related
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, any insurance policies and all other
documents in the related Mortgage File, (B) all amounts payable
pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
thereof, (C) any Uncertificated Regular Interests and any and all
general intangibles, payment intangibles, accounts, chattel paper,
instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of
deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and investment
property and other property of whatever kind or description now
existing or hereafter acquired consisting of, arising from or
relating to any of the foregoing, and (D) all proceeds of the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash,
instruments, securities or other property, including without
limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the
Certificate Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the form
of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2) an
assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee of any security interest
in any and all of the Seller’s right (including the power to
convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the
foregoing clauses (1)(A), (B), (C) and (D) granted by the Seller to
the Depositor pursuant to the Assignment Agreement; (c) the
possession by the Trustee, the Custodian or any other agent of the
Trustee of Mortgage Notes or such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, payment intangibles, negotiable
documents, goods, deposit accounts, letters of credit, advices of
credit, investment property, certificated securities or chattel
paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured
party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated
by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to the [______] Uniform Commercial Code and the
Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction as in
effect (including, without limitation, Sections 8-106, 9-313 and
9-106 thereof); and
54
(d) notifications to persons holding
such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from
persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities
intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for, (as
applicable) the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security
interest under applicable law.
The Depositor and, at the
Depositor’s direction, the Seller and the Trustee shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the
Uncertificated Regular Interests and the other property described
above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will
be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor
shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee not less than 15 days
prior to any filing date and, the Trustee shall forward for filing,
or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the
Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of
any original filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as
in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee’s
security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans and the
Uncertificated Regular Interests, as evidenced by an Officers
Certificate of the Depositor, including without limitation (x)
continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be
occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor
or the Trustee (such preparation and filing shall be at the expense
of the Trustee, if occasioned by a change in the Trustee’s
name), (2) any change of location of the place of business or the
chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any
transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any
Mortgage Loan or (4) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or
the Depositor in any Uncertificated Regular Interests.

delivered to it, or a Custodian as its agent, in trust for the use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The
Trustee or Custodian (such Custodian being so obligated under a
Custodial Agreement) agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders,
to review each Mortgage File delivered to it pursuant to Section
2.01(b) within 90 days after the Closing Date to ascertain that all
required documents (specifically as set forth in Section 2.01(b)),
have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to
the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, as
supplemented, that have been conveyed to it, and to deliver to the
Trustee a certificate (the “Interim Certification”) to
the effect that all documents required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 2.01(b) have been executed and received and that such
documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A
attached to such Interim Certification. Upon delivery of the
Mortgage Files by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall acknowledge receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage
Loans
55
subject to a Custodial Agreement, and
based solely upon a receipt or certification executed by the
Custodian, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly
appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in
Section 2.01(b).
If the Custodian, as the
Trustee’s agent, finds any document or documents constituting
a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective, upon receipt
of notification from the Custodian as specified in the succeeding
sentence, the Trustee shall promptly so notify or cause the
Custodian to notify the Master Servicer and the Depositor. Pursuant
to Section 2.3 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will
notify the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee of any
such omission or defect found by it in respect of any Mortgage File
held by it in respect of the items received by it pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement. If such omission or defect materially and
adversely affects the interests in the related Mortgage Loan of the
Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the
related Subservicer or Seller of such omission or defect and
request that such Subservicer or Seller correct or cure such
omission or defect within 60 days from the date the Master Servicer
was notified of such omission or defect and, if such Subservicer or
Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such
period, that such Subservicer or Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan
from the Trust Fund at its Purchase Price, in either case within 90
days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such
omission or defect; provided that if the omission or defect would
cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified
mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any
such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date
such breach was discovered. The Purchase Price for any such
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited or caused to be deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Custodial Account maintained by it pursuant
to Section 3.07 and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee or any Custodian, as the case may be, shall release to the
Master Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in the Subservicer or Seller or its
designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the
Trust Fund. In furtherance of the foregoing and Section 2.04, if
the Subservicer or Seller that repurchases the Mortgage Loan is not
a member of MERS and the Mortgage is registered on the MERS
® System, the Master Servicer, at
its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause
MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to such
Subservicer or Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS ® System in accordance with
MERS’ rules and regulations. It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the Subservicer or Seller, to so cure or purchase
any Mortgage Loan as to which a material and adverse defect in or
omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such defect or omission available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders.
