This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of February 1, 2005 (the “Agreement” ), among GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor” ), GREENWICH CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as seller (the “Seller” ), WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer” ) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator” ) and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee” ).

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

 

Through this Agreement, the Depositor intends to cause the issuance and sale of the DSLA Mortgage Loan Trust 2005-AR1, DSLA Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-AR1 (the “Certificates” ) representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust, the primary assets of which are the Mortgage Loans (as defined below).

 

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder.  The Certificates will consist of fifteen classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class 1-A Certificates, (ii) the Class 2-A1A Certificates, (iii) the Class 2-A1B Certificates, (iv) the Class 2-A2 Certificates, (v) the Class X-1 Certificates, (vi) the Class X-2, (vii) the Class A-R Certificate, (viii) the Class B-1 Certificates, (ix) the Class B-2 Certificates, (x) the Class B-3 Certificates, (xi) the Class B-4 Certificates, (xii) the Class B-5 Certificates, (xiii) the Class B-6 Certificates, (xiv) the Class Y Certificates and (xv) the Class C Certificates.  As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of the assets held in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Yield Maintenance Account, and the Yield Maintenance Agreements) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising three real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a REMIC or, in the alternative, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier REMIC ). Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R, Class Y, and Class C Certificates shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein.  In addition, the Class 1-A, Class 2-A1A, Class 2-A1B, Class 2-A2, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5, and Class B-6 Certificates represent the right to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls.  The Class X-2 Certificates, in addition to representing beneficial ownership of REMIC regular interests, also represent beneficial ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Yield Maintenance Account.  The Class A-R Certificate represents the ownership of the sole residual interest in each of the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier REMIC.    

 

The Class Y Certificates, which will not have a Class Principal Balance and will not accrue interest, will only be entitled to received on any Distribution Date the excess, if any, of amounts paid with respect to any Yield Maintenance Agreement in excess of the Yield Maintenance Distributable Amount for such Yield Maintenance Agreement.  The Class Y Certificates will not represent an interest in any REMIC.

 

The Class C Certificate shall represent a right to direct the termination of the Trust but shall not represent an interest in any REMIC.  

 

The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund other than the assets held in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Yield Maintenance Account, the Yield Maintenance Agreements, and the interests in any REMIC formed hereby.  The Middle-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC, other than the Class LT-R Interest, and each such Lower-Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC.  The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the uncertificated Middle-Tier Interests in the Middle-Tier REMIC, other than the Class MT-R Interest, and each such Middle-Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Middle-Tier REMIC.

(1)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for each of these Lower-Tier Interests is a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC for Loan Group 1.

 

(2)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for each of these Lower-Tier Interests is a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC for Loan Group 2.

 

(3)

The Class LT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC.  It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

 

On each Distribution Date, Available Funds for Loan Group 1 shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

 

(i)

to the LT-A1 and the LT-X1-1 through LT-X1-42 Interests as principal distributions until the aggregate balance of such Lower-Tier Interests equals the Loan Group Balance for Loan Group 1 immediately prior to such Distribution Date; amounts distributable pursuant to this priority shall be distributed first to the LT-A1 Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then to each of the LT-X1-1 through LT-X1-42 Interests in ascending order of their numerical designation until the principal balance of each such Lower-Tier Interest  is reduced to zero.  

 

(ii)

to the LT-A1 and the LT-X1-1 through LT-X1-42 Interests, interest at the interest rates described above, provided, however , to the extent there is any Net Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1, interest accrued on the LT-A1 and LT-X1-1 through LT-X1-42 Interests shall be deferred and such deferrals shall occur in the same order and priority in which the principal is distributed among such Lower-Tier Interests under priority (i) above.

 

On each Distribution Date, Available Funds for Loan Group 2 shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

 

(i)

to the LT-A2 and the LT-X2-1 through LT-X2-42 Interests as principal distributions until the aggregate balance of such Lower-Tier Interests equals the Loan Group Balance for Loan Group 2 immediately prior to such Distribution Date; amounts distributable pursuant to this priority shall be distributed first to the LT-A2 Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then to each of the LT-X2-1 through LT-X2-42 Interests in ascending order of their numerical designation until the principal balance of each such Lower-Tier Interest is reduced to zero.  

 

(ii)

to the LT-A2 and the LT-X2-1 through LT-X2-42 Interests, interest at the interest rates described above, provided, however , to the extent there is any Net Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2, interest accrued on the LT-A2 and  LT-X2-1 through LT-X2-42 Interests shall be deferred and such deferrals shall occur in the same order and priority in which the principal is distributed among such Lower-Tier Interests under priority (i) above.

 

Realized Losses shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier Interests in the same order and priority in which principal is distributable on the Lower-Tier Interests.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have distributed the Prepayment Penalties collected during the preceding Prepayment Period with respect to Pool 1 and Pool 2, in the case of Principal Prepayments in full, or during the related Collection Period, in the case of Principal Prepayments in part, to the Class LT-X1-42 and Class LT-X2-42 Lower Tier Interests, respectively.

The Class MT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interests in the Middle-Tier REMIC.  It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

 

On each Distribution Date, all amounts distributable with respect to the Lower-Tier Interests shall be allocated among the Middle-Tier Interests interest, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Middle Tier Interests, in the following order of priority:

 

(i)

First, to the MT1-A, MT2-A1A, MT2-A1B, MT2-A2, MTA-R, MTB-1, MTB-2, MTB-3, MTB-4, MTB-5, and MTB-6 Interests until the principal balance of each such Middle-Tier Interest equals 50% of the Class Certificate Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

 

(ii)

Second, concurrently as follows:

 

a.

To the MTQA Interest until its principal balance equals 50% of the Class Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class X-1 and Class X-2 Certificates) immediately after such Distribution Date; and

 

b.

To the MTQB Interest until its principal balance equals the sum of (I) 50% of the aggregate of the Class Certificate Principal Balances of the Subordinate Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date, plus (II) the aggregate of the Component Principal Balances of the X-2 PO-1 and X-2 PO-2 Components immediately after such Distribution Date.

 

(iii)

Third, remaining Available Funds shall be applied to interest distributions on the Middle-Tier Interests at the interest rates described above, provided, however , to the extent there is any Net Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans, interest accrued on the Middle-Tier Interests will be deferred and such deferrals will be allocated among the Middle-Tier Interests in the same order of priority in which principal is distributed under priorities (i) through (v) above.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have distributed the Prepayment Penalties collected during the preceding Prepayment Period with respect to Pool 1 and Pool 2, in the case of Principal Prepayments in full, or during the related Collection Period, in the case of Principal Prepayments in part, to the Class MTQA and MTQB Interests in proportion to the interest accrued on such interests during the related Accrual Period.
