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.

purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as

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.

The Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the

(iv) and (v) (or copies thereof as permitted by Section 2.01(b)) to
the Trustee or the Custodian or Custodians, deliver such documents

the Depositor cannot deliver the original of 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

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

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

Section 2.01(b)(i) (except that for purposes of such
acknowledgement only, a Mortgage Note may be endorsed in blank and
an Assignment of Mortgage may be in blank) and declares that it, or
a Custodian as its agent, holds and will hold such documents and
the other documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files
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

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.
