This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of April 1, 2007, is entered into among Impac Secured Assets Corp., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Impac Funding Corporation, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
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 the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of sixteen classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class A1-A Certificates, (ii) the Class A1-B Certificates, (iii) the Class A1-C Certificates, (iv) the Class AM Certificates, (v) the Class M-1 Certificates, (vi) the Class M-2 Certificates, (vii) the Class M-3 Certificates, (viii) the Class M-4 Certificates, (ix) the Class M-5 Certificates, (x) the Class M-6 Certificates, (xi) the Class M-7 Certificates, (xii) the Class M-8 Certificates, (xiii) the Class B Certificates, (xiv) the Class C Certificates, (xv) the Class P Certificates and (xvi) the Class R Certificates.
REMIC 1
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets (other than the Net WAC Shortfall Reserve Fund, any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Pre-Funding Account, the Interest Coverage Account, the Class M Interest Reserve Fund and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Supplemental Interest Trust, the Derivative Account, the Cap Contracts, the Collateral Account and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC 1.” The Class R-1 Interest will be the sole class of Residual Interests in REMIC 1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC 1 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 1 Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests will be certificated.

|
Section 1.02.
|
Determination of LIBOR.
|
LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on the Class A Certificates and Subordinate Certificates for any Accrual Period will be determined on each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date.
On each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date, LIBOR shall be established by the Trustee and, as to any Accrual Period, will equal the rate for one month United States dollar deposits that appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date. “Reuters Screen LIBOR01” means the display designated as such by Reuters Monitor Money Rates Services. 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 Class A Certificates and Subordinate Certificates then outstanding. The Trustee will 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. 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 after consultation with the Master Servicer (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.
51
The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee on any LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date and the Trustee’s subsequent calculation of the Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Class A Certificates and Subordinate Certificates for the relevant 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 will supply to any Certificateholder so requesting by telephone the Pass-Through Rate on the Class A Certificates and Subordinate Certificates for the current and the immediately preceding Accrual Period.

Section 1.03.
|
Allocation of Certain Interest Shortfalls.
|
For purposes of calculating the amount of the Monthly Interest Distributable Amount for the Class A Certificates, the Subordinate Certificates and the Class C Certificates for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated first, to the Class C Certificates, based on, and to the extent of, one month's interest at the then applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Balance of such Certificates and, thereafter, among the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates on a pro rata basis, based on, and to the extent of, one month's interest at the then applicable respective Pass-Through Rates on the respective Certificate Principal Balances of each such Certificate.
For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the REMIC 1 Regular Interests for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated first, to REMIC 1 Regular Interests ending with the designation “B” and REMIC 1 Regular Interests P and OC, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest, and then, to REMIC 1 Regular Interests ending with the designation “A”, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest.
52
For purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the REMIC 2 Regular Interests (other than REMIC 2 Regular Interest IO) for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to REMIC 2 Regular Interest AA and REMIC 2 Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 2 Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively, and thereafter among REMIC 2 Regular Interest AA, each REMIC 2 Regular Interest for which a Class A, Class B, Class M or Class P Certificate is the Corresponding Certificate and REMIC 2 Regular Interest ZZ, pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated REMIC 2 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC 2 Regular Interest.

The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby assign, transfer, sell, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (exclusive of any prepayment fees and late payment charges received thereon) and all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders, including the amount to be deposited by or on behalf of the Depositor into the Net WAC Shortfall Reserve Fund. Such assignment includes all principal and interest received by the Master Servicer on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payment of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date).
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor has caused the Sponsor to deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Depositor has caused the Sponsor to deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, as described in accordance with Section 2.07, with respect to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan, the following documents or instruments:

(ii) the original recorded Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording indicated thereon or, if the original Mortgage has not been returned from the public recording office, a copy of the Mortgage certified by the Sponsor or the public recording office in which such Mortgage has been recorded to be a true and complete copy of the original Mortgage submitted for recording;
(iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, a duly executed original Assignment of the Mortgage, without recourse, in recordable form to Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee,” or to “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee for holders of Impac Secured Assets Corp., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3”;
(iv) the original intervening Assignments, if any, of the Mortgage showing an unbroken chain of assignment from the originator thereof to the Person assigning it to the Trustee (or to MERS, if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System and noting the presence of a MIN) or, if any such Assignment has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, a copy of such Assignment certified by the Sponsor to be a true and complete copy of the original Assignment submitted to the title insurance company for recording;
54
(v) the original title insurance policy or a copy thereof, or, if such policy has not been issued, any one of an original or a copy of the preliminary title report, title binder or title commitment on the Mortgaged Property with the original policy of the insurance to be delivered promptly following the receipt thereof;
(vi) a copy of the related hazard insurance policy; and
(vii) a true and correct copy of any assumption, modification, consolidation or substitution agreement.
The Sponsor is obligated as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and in accordance with Section 2.07 and the Subsequent Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, to deliver to the Trustee: (a) either the original recorded Mortgage, or in the event such original cannot be delivered by the Sponsor, a copy of such Mortgage certified as true and complete by the appropriate recording office, in those instances where a copy thereof certified by the Sponsor was delivered to the Trustee pursuant to clause (ii) above; and (b) either the original intervening Assignments, if any, of the Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon, showing an unbroken chain of assignment from the originator to the Sponsor, or in the event such original cannot be delivered by the Sponsor, a copy of such intervening Assignments, if any, certified as true and complete by the appropriate recording office, in those instances where copies thereof certified by the Sponsor were delivered to the Trustee pursuant to clause (iv) above. However, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans and pursuant to Section 2.07 and the Subsequent Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor need not cause to be recorded any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Sponsor to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Sponsor in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights or the Certificate Insurer, (ii) the occurrence of a Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Sponsor, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (v) if the Sponsor is not the Master Servicer and with respect to any one assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Sponsor shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof.

If any Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded to the Trustee because of any defect therein, the Sponsor is required, as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, and as described in the Subsequent Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and in accordance with Section 2.07, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, to prepare a substitute Assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and the Sponsor shall cause such Assignment to be recorded in accordance with this section.
The Sponsor is required as described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, and as described in the Subsequent Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and in accordance with Section 2.07, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, to exercise its best reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee within 120 days of the Closing Date or related Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the original or a photocopy of the title insurance policy with respect to each such Mortgage Loan assigned to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01.
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, the Sponsor further agrees that it will cause, at the Sponsor's own expense, as of the Closing Date or related Subsequent Transfer Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Sponsor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer 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 “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the 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.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which are not delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held by the Master Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall (and the Master Servicer shall ensure that no Sub-Servicer shall) assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Trust Fund or any portion thereof, or cause the Trust Fund or any portion thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage, security interest, pledge or other encumbrance.
It is intended that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee as provided in this Section 2.01 be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans as provided for in this Section 2.01 by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be 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 conveyance 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 acquir
