This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of November 1, 2005 (this “Agreement”), is executed by and among Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and 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, the Subsequent 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 Junior Subordinate Certificates and Class P Certificates, have been offered for sale pursuant to a Prospectus, dated August 26, 2005, and a Prospectus Supplement, dated November 28, 2005 of the Depositor (together, the “Prospectus”). The Junior Subordinate Certificates have been offered for sale pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum, dated November 29, 2005. 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.

 

 


 

REMIC I

As provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets described in the definition of REMIC I (as defined herein), and 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 REMIC I Regular Interests will be the “regular interests” in REMIC I and Component R-1 of the Class R Certificates will represent the sole Class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under the federal income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal 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.
