            THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of March 1, 2005, is

among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP., a Delaware corporation (the "Depositor"),

COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS SERVICING LP, a Texas limited partnership

("Countrywide"), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking

association ("JPMorgan"), as a Servicer, J.P. MORGAN TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL

ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as custodian (the "Custodian"), and

DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking association, as trustee

(the "Trustee").

 

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

 

            In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the

parties hereto agree as follows:

 

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 

            The Trustee shall elect that four segregated asset pools within the

Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Interest Rate

Swap Agreement, (iii) the Supplemental Interest Trust, (iv) the Excess Reserve

Fund Account, and (v) the right of the Principal Certificates to receive

Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry

Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls) be treated for

federal income tax purposes as comprising four REMICs (each, a "Trust REMIC" or,

in the alternative, Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, Pooling-Tier REMIC 2, the Lower-Tier

REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, respectively). The Class X Interest and each

Class of Principal Certificates (other than the right of each Class of Principal

Certificates to receive Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without

duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts) and the obligation to pay Class

IO Shortfalls represents ownership of a regular interest in a REMIC for purposes

of the REMIC Provisions. The Class R-2 Certificates represent ownership of the

sole class of residual interest in Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 for purposes of the

REMIC Provisions. The Class R-1 Certificates represent ownership of the sole

class of residual interest in each of Pooling-Tier REMIC 2, the Lower-Tier REMIC

and the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Start-up Day

for each REMIC described herein is the Closing Date. The latest possible

maturity date for each Certificate is the latest date referenced in Section

2.06. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of

uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests, set out below. The Lower-Tier REMIC

shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Pooling-Tier REMIC 2

Regular Interests. Pooling-Tier REMIC 2 shall hold as assets the several classes

of uncertificated Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests. Pooling-Tier REMIC-1

shall hold as assets the assets of the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the

Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, (iii) the

Supplemental Interest Trust, (iv) the Excess Reserve Fund Account, and (v) the

right of the Principal Certificates to receive Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts

and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and the obligation to

pay Class IO Shortfalls).

 

            For federal income tax purposes, each Class of Principal

Certificates represents a beneficial ownership of a regular interest in the

Upper-Tier REMIC, the right to receive Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts (and,

without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts), and the obligation to

pay Class IO Shortfalls, the Class X Certificates represent beneficial ownership

of the Class X Regular Interest, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the

Supplemental Interest Trust, the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the right to

receive Class IO Shortfalls, and the Class P Certificates represent beneficial

ownership of the Prepayment Premiums, which portions of the Trust Fund shall be

treated as a grantor trust.

 

                              Pooling-Tier REMIC-1

 

            Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall issue the following interests in

Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, and each such interest is hereby designated as a regular

interest in the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1. Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall also issue the

Class R-2 Certificates. The Class R-2 Certificates are hereby designated as the

sole class of residual interest in Pooling-Tier REMIC-1. The Class R-2

Certificates shall have a $100 Class Certificate Balance and shall have no

interest rate.

            On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses and payments of principal

in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to the Class R-2

Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(ii) until its Class Certificate Balance

is reduced to zero and then to the outstanding Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular

Interest with the lowest numerical denomination until the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1

Principal Amount of such interest is reduced to zero, provided that, with

respect to Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests with the same numerical

denomination, such Realized Losses and payments of principal shall be allocated

pro rata between such Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests.

 

                              Pooling-Tier REMIC-2

 

             Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 shall issue the following interests in

Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, and each such interest, other than the Class PT2-R

(1)    For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this

      Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum

      rate equal to the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 WAC Rate.

 

(2)    For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) this

      Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum

      rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the weighted

      average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling-Tier

      REMIC-1 Regular Interests having an "A" in their class designation,

      provided that, on each Distribution Date on which interest is

      distributable on the Corresponding Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest, this

      Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum

      rate equal to Swap LIBOR subject to a maximum rate equal to the weighted

      average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling-Tier

      REMIC-1 Regular Interests having an "A" in their class designation.

 

(3)    For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) this

      Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum

      rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the weighted

      average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling-Tier

      REMIC-1 Regular Interests having a "B" in their class designation.

 

(4)    Each Pooling-Tier REMIC 2 IO is an interest-only interest and does not

      have a principal balance. From the Closing Date through and including the

      Corresponding Crossover Distribution Date, each Pooling-Tier REMIC 2 IO

      Interest shall be entitled to receive interest that accrues on the

      Corresponding Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest at a rate equal to the

      excess, if any, of (i) the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rate for the

      Corresponding Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest over (ii) Swap LIBOR.

      After the Corresponding Crossover Distribution Date, the Pooling-Tier

      REMIC 2 IO Interest shall not accrue interest.

 

(5)    The Class PT2-R Interest shall not bear interest.

 

            On each Distribution Date, the interest distributable in respect of

the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the

Pooling-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests at the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest

Rates shown above.

 

            On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses and payments of principal

in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to the Class R-1

Certificates in respect of the Class PT2-R Interest pursuant to Section

4.02(a)(ii) until its Class Certificate Balance is reduced to zero and then to

the outstanding Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests (other than the

Pooling-Tier REMIC 2 IO Interests) with the lowest numerical denomination until

the Pooling-Tier REMIC 2 Principal Amount of such interest is reduced to zero,

provided that, for Pooling-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests with the same

numerical denomination, such Realized Losses and payments of principal shall be

allocated pro rata between such Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests.

 

                                Lower-Tier REMIC

 

            The Lower-Tier REMIC shall issue the following interests, and each

such interest, other than the Class LT-R Interest, is hereby designated as a

(1)    The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for these

      interests is a per annum variable rate equal to the weighted average of

      the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2

      Regular Interests (other than the Pooling-Tier REMIC 2 IO Interests).

 

(2)    This Lower-Tier Regular Interest is an interest-only interest and does not

      have a Lower-Tier Principal Amount. On each Distribution Date, this

      Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest

      distributable on the Pooling-Tier REMIC 2 IO Interests.

 

(3)    The Class LT-R Interest does not have a principal amount or an interest

      rate.

 

            Each Lower-Tier Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular

interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2, Class LT-A-3,

Class LT-M-1, Class LT-M-2, Class LT-M-3, Class LT-B-1, Class LT-B-2, Class

LT-B-3 and Class LT-B-4 Interests are hereby designated the LT-Accretion

Directed Classes (the "LT-Accretion Directed Classes").

 

            On each Distribution Date, 50% of the increase in the

Overcollateralized Amount shall be payable as a reduction of the Lower-Tier

Principal Amount of the LT-Accretion Directed Classes (each such Class will be

reduced by an amount equal to 50% of any increase in the Overcollateralized

Amount that is attributable to a reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of

its Corresponding Class) and shall be accrued and added to the Lower-Tier

Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest. On each Distribution Date,

the increase in the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest

shall not exceed interest accruals for such Distribution Date for the Class

LT-Accrual Interest. In the event that: (i) 50% of the increase in the

Overcollateralized Amount exceeds (ii) interest accruals on the Class LT-Accrual

Interest for such Distribution Date, the excess for such Distribution Date

(accumulated with all such excesses for all prior Distribution Dates) will be

added to any increase in the Overcollateralized Amount for purposes of

determining the amount of interest accrual on the Class LT-Accrual Interest

payable as principal on the LT-Accretion Directed Classes on the next

Distribution Date pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph. All payments

of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage

Loans and all Subsequent Recoveries allocable to principal shall be allocated

(i) 50% to the Class LT-Accrual Interest and (ii) 50% to the LT-Accretion

Directed Classes (such principal payments and Subsequent Recoveries shall be

allocated among such LT-Accretion Directed Classes in an amount equal to 50% of

the principal amounts and Subsequent Recoveries allocated to their respective

Corresponding Classes), until paid in full. Notwithstanding the above, principal

payments allocated to the Class X Interest that result in the reduction in the

Overcollateralized Amount shall be allocated to the Class LT-Accrual Interest

(until paid in full). Realized Losses shall be applied so that after all

distributions have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the Lower-Tier

Principal Amount of each of the LT-Accretion Directed Classes is equal to 50% of

the Class Certificate Balance of their Corresponding Class, and (ii) the Class

LT-Accrual Interest is equal to 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of

the Mortgage Loans plus 50% of the Overcollateralized Amount. Any increase in

the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Principal Certificates as result of

a Subsequent Recovery shall increase the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the

Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest by 50% of such increase, and the

remaining 50% of such increase shall increase the Class LT-Accrual Interest.

 

                                Upper-Tier REMIC

 

            The Upper-Tier REMIC shall issue the following interests, and each

such interest, other than the Class UT-R Interest, is hereby designated as a

regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class UT-R Interest is hereby

designated as the sole class of residual interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC and

shall be represented by the Class R-1 Certificates.

(1)    For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) this

      interest shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Pass-Through Rate

      (determined without regard to the applicable WAC Cap) for the

      Corresponding Class of Certificates and (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC WAC

      Rate.

 

(2)    This interest is an interest-only interest and does not have a principal

      balance. On each Distribution Date, the Class IO Interest shall be

      entitled to receive all interest distributable on the Class LT-IO

      Interest. This interest shall be beneficially owned by the holders of the

      Class X Certificates and shall be held as an asset of the Supplemental

       Interest Trust.

 

(3)    The Class X Interest has an initial principal balance of $15,406,120.96

      but will not accrue interest on such balance but will accrue interest on a

      notional principal balance. As of any Distribution Date, the Class X

       Interest shall have a notional principal balance equal to the aggregate of

      the Lower-Tier Principal Amounts of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests

      (other than the Class LT-IO Interest) as of the first day of the related

      Interest Accrual Period. With respect to any Interest Accrual Period, the

      Class X Interest shall bear interest at a rate equal to the excess, if

      any, of the Upper-Tier REMIC WAC Rate over the product of (i) 2 and (ii)

      the weighted average of the Lower-Tier Interest Rates of the Lower-Tier

      REMIC Interests (other than the Class LT-IO Interest), where the

      Lower-Tier Interest Rate on the Class LT Accrual Interest is subject to a

      cap equal to zero and each LT Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap

      equal to the Upper-Tier Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class of

      Upper-Tier Regular Interest. With respect to any Distribution Date,

      interest that so accrues on the notional principal balance of the Class X

      Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to any increase in the

      Overcollateralized Amount on such Distribution Date. Such deferred

      interest shall not itself bear interest.

 

(4)    The Class UT-R Interest does not have an interest rate or a principal

       balance.

 

            On each Distribution Date, interest distributable in respect of the

Lower-Tier Interests for such Distribution Date shall be deemed to be

distributed to the interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC at the rates shown above,

provided that the Class IO Interest shall be entitled to receive interest before

any other interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

 

            On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of

principal shall be allocated to the Upper-Tier Interests until the outstanding

principal balance of each such interest equals the outstanding Class Certificate

Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates as of such Distribution Date.

      Class IO Shortfalls, (iv) amounts in the Supplemental Interest Trust,

      including the Interest Rate Swap Agreement subject to the obligation to

      pay Net Swap Payments and Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without

      duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and (v) amounts in the

      Excess Reserve Fund Account, subject to the obligation to make payments

      from the Excess Reserve Fund Account in respect of Upper-Tier Carry

      Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward

      Amounts. For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee will treat a Class X

      Certificateholder's obligation to make payments of Basis Risk Carry

      Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts

      to the Principal Certificates from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the

      Supplemental Interest Trust as payments made pursuant to an interest rate

      cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of each

      Class of Principal Certificates. Such rights of the Class X

      Certificateholders and Principal Certificateholders shall be treated as

      obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls as described in Section 8.13. For

      federal income tax purposes, any amount distributed on the Principal

      Certificates on any such Distribution Date in excess of the amount

      distributable on their Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest

      Upper-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution Date in excess of the

      amount distributable on Principal 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 8.13. The Trustee

      will treat a Principal Certificateholder's right to receive payments from

      the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust as

      payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written by the

      Class X Certificateholders.

 

            The minimum denomination for the Principal Certificates will be

$25,000, with integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof except that one

Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount. The minimum

denomination for (a) each Class of Residual Certificates $100, representing a

100% Percentage Interest in the related Class, (b) the Class P Certificates will
