This Pooling and Servicing Agreement , dated as of February 1, 2007, among IndyMac ABS, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “ Depositor ”), IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. (“ IndyMac ”), a federal savings bank, as seller (in that capacity, the “ Seller ”) and as servicer (in that capacity, the “ Servicer ”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”).
 
Witnesseth That
 
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
 
Preliminary Statement
 
The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates (collectively, the “ Certificates ”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created hereunder. The Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.
 



REMIC I
 
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets (other than the Supplemental Interest Trust, the Excess Reserve Fund Account, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Pool Policy Reserve Account) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such pool of assets will be designated as REMIC I. The Class R-I Interest will evidence the sole class of residual interests in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the latest possible maturity date for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.

Advance : The payment required to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 (other than any amounts advanced pursuant to Section 4.01(d)), the amount of that payment being equal to the aggregate of payments of principal and interest (net of the Servicing Fee and any net proceeds in the case of any REO Properties) on the Mortgage Loans that were due during the related Remittance Period and not received as of the close of business on the related Determination Date, plus an amount equivalent to interest on each REO Property less the aggregate amount of any delinquent payments that the Servicer has determined would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if advanced.
 
Affected Party : As defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.
 
Affiliate : With respect to any Person, any other Person controlling, controlled or under common control with such Person. For purposes of this definition, “control” means the power to direct the management and policies of a Person, directly or indirectly, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise and “controlling” and “controlled” shall have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

Appraised Value : With respect to any Mortgaged Property, the value thereof as determined by an independent appraisal made at the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan or the sale price, if the appraisal is not available; except that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a purchase money mortgage loan, the lesser of (i) the value thereof as determined by an independent appraisal made at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, if any, and (ii) the sales price of the related Mortgaged Property.
 
Available Funds :   For any Distribution Date, the sum of (i) all scheduled installments of interest (net of the Expense Fees) and principal due on the Due Date on the Mortgage Loans in the related Remittance Period (or any prior Remittance Period not covered by an Advance) and received by the related Determination Date, together with any related Advances; (ii) all Insurance Proceeds with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including those received with respect to the Pool Policy and not reimbursable to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(c), but excluding Insurance Proceeds included in Liquidation Proceeds), Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries received during the preceding calendar month with respect to the Mortgage Loans (in each case, net of unreimbursed expenses incurred in connection with a liquidation or foreclosure and net of the related Excess Proceeds); (iii) all partial or full Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period together with all Compensating Interest on those Mortgage Loans and interest paid by the Mortgagors (other than Prepayment Interest Excess) and (iv) amounts received by the Trustee for such Distribution Date as the Substitution Adjustment Amount or the Purchase Price of a Deleted Mortgage Loan or a Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Seller or the Servicer as of the Distribution Date including proceeds received with respect to the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 minus (v) amounts in reimbursement for Advances previously made and other expenses reimbursable to the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement (other than amounts included in clause (vi) below); (vi) amounts reimbursable or payable to the Servicer, Depositor or the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.03 and (vii) any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider (to the extent not paid by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee from any upfront payment received pursuant to any replacement interest rate swap agreement that may be entered into by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and other than Swap Termination Payments resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event).
