The Board of Directors of the Depositor has duly authorized the formation of GSAA Trust 2004-CW1 as a trust (the “Trust”) to issue a series of securities with an aggregate initial outstanding principal balance of $250,109,377 to be known as the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2004-CW1 (the “Certificates”). The Trust is formed by this Trust Agreement. The Certificates in the aggregate evidence the entire beneficial ownership in the Trust. The Certificates consist of the classes set forth herein.
Pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Standard Terms, the Trustee, will make an election to treat all of the assets of the Trust as two real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC” and, individually, “REMIC I-1” and “REMIC I-2”) for federal income tax purposes.

(a) In accordance with Section 3.01(d) of the Standard Terms and subject to the exceptions set forth below and to Section 3.02, on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw the aggregate Available Distribution Amount for each Collateral Group from the REMIC I-2 Distribution Account, and shall distribute it in the following manner and order of priority:
(i)
to each Class of Senior Certificates related to such Collateral Group (other than Collateral Group P), Accrued Certificate Interest thereon, pro rata in proportion to the amount owing to each such Class;
(ii)
to the Class IA-1 Certificates, in reduction of their Class Principal Balances, from the Available Distribution Amount for Collateral Group I to the Class IA-1 Certificates, in an amount up to the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for Collateral Group I, until the Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero;
(iii)
to the lass IIA-1, Class IIA-2 and Class IIA-3 Certificates, in reduction of their Class Principal Balances, from the Available Distribution Amount for Collateral Group II, in an amount up to the Senior Principal Distribution Amount, concurrently, as follows:
(A)
approximately 46.0685130927%, to the Class IIA-1 Certificates, until their Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and
(B)
approximately 53.9314869073% to the Class IIA-2 and Class IIA-3 Certificates, in the following order of priority:
(I)
to the Class IIA-3 Certificates, the Group IIA-3 Priority Amount, until the Class Principal Balance of such Class is reduced to zero;
(II)
to the Class IIA-2 Certificates, until their Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and
(III)
to the Class IIA-3 Certificates, until their Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero;
(iv)
to the Class A-P Certificates, from the Available Distribution Amounts for Collateral Group P, the A-P Principal Distribution Amount for such Collateral Group and such Distribution Date, in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of such Class, until their Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero;
(v)
concurrently, pro rata from amounts otherwise payable to the Subordinate Certificates, to the Class A-P Certificates, the principal portion of Current Realized Losses and the Deferred Principal Amount for the Class A-P Certificates on such Distribution Date; provided, however, that, if necessary, the aggregate of all such amounts distributed on such Distribution Date shall not exceed the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount (without regard to the proviso of such definition) for the Subordinate Certificates and, provided further, that such amounts will not reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-P Certificates;
(vi)
to the extent of the remaining Available Distribution Amount for Collateral Group I and Collateral Group II, but subject to the prior distribution of amounts pursuant to paragraph (b) below, to the Subordinate Certificates, in their order of seniority the sum of (i) Accrued Certificate Interest pro rata on the basis of the amount owing to each such Class, and their pro rata shares, based on their outstanding Certificate Balances, of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for such Collateral Group, as applicable; provided, however, that on any Distribution Date on which the Subordination Level for any class of Subordinate Certificates is less than its Subordination Level as of the Closing Date, the portion of the Subordinate Principal Prepayment Amount otherwise allocable to the class or classes of the Subordinate Certificates junior to such class will be allocated pro rata to the most senior class of Subordinate Certificates for which the Subordination Level on such Distribution Date is less than the Subordination Level as of the Closing Date and all classes of Subordinate Certificates senior thereto;
(vii)
to each Class of Certificates, in the order of their seniority, the amount of any unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificates; and
(viii)
to the Residual Certificates, after all of the other Classes of Certificates have been paid in full, the remainder, if any, which is expected to be zero, of the Available Distribution Amount for all Collateral Groups.
(b)
On each Distribution Date prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date but after the date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) of any Certificate Group has been reduced to zero, amounts otherwise distributable as principal on each Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(v), in reverse order of priority, in respect of such Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for the Collateral Group relating to such retired Senior Certificates, shall be distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates (other than any Notional Certificates and the Class A-P Certificates) remaining outstanding pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) until the Class Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero, provided that on such Distribution Date (a) the related Aggregate Subordinate Percentage for such Distribution Date is less than 200% of the related Aggregate Subordinate Percentage as of the Cut-Off Date or (b) the average outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans contributing to any Collateral Group that are delinquent 60 days or more for the last six months (including Mortgage Loans in foreclosure or bankruptcy and property held by the Trust) as a percentage of the related Group Subordinate Amount is greater than or equal to 50%.
On any Distribution Date on which any Certificate Group constitutes an Undercollateralized Group, all amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinate Certificates, in reverse order of priority (other than amounts necessary to pay Deferred Principal Amounts or unpaid Current Shortfalls) (or, following the Credit Support Depletion Date, such other amounts described in the immediately following sentence), will be distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates (other than any Notional Certificates and the Class A-P Certificates) of such Undercollateralized Group pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii), until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Senior Certificates equals the Non-AP Pool Balance of the related Collateral Group (such distribution, an “Undercollateralization Distribution”). In the event that any Certificate Group constitutes an Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date following the Credit Support Depletion Date, Undercollateralization Distributions will be made from any Available Distribution Amount for the Collateralized Groups not related to an Undercollateralized Group remaining after all required amounts have been distributed to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) of such other Certificate Groups. In addition, the amount of any unpaid Current Shortfalls with respect to an Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date (including any Current Shortfalls for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) of such Undercollateralized Group prior to the payment of any Undercollateralization Distributions from amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the related Subordinate Certificates, in reverse order of priority (or, following the Credit Support Depletion Date, as provided in the preceding sentence).
(c)
REMIC I-1 Distributions. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall apply amounts in the REMIC I-1 Distribution Account to the REMIC I-1 Regular Interests in the same manner that amounts are distributed on any Corresponding Classes of Certificates on such Distribution Date. In addition, on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall apply remaining amounts in the REMIC I-1 Distribution Account in respect of interest to the Class I-Pool, Class I-Sub-A and Class I-Sub-B Interests in accordance with their interest rates set forth above. Finally, on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall apply amounts in the REMIC I-1 Distribution Account in respect of principal to the Class I-Pool, Class I-Sub-A and Class I-Sub-B Interests as follows:
(i)
first, to the Class I-Sub-A Interest and the Class I-Sub-B Interest, the minimum amounts to each such that following that allocation the weighted average rate of the Class I-Sub-A and Class I-Sub-B Interests, weighted on the principal balances thereof and determined by subjecting the Class I-Sub-A Interest to a floor of 7.928% and subjecting the Class I-Sub-B Interest to a cap of 4.000%, equals the interest rate on the Class B Certificates for the following Distribution Date;
(ii)
second, to the Class I-Pool Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero; and
(iii)
third, pro rata to the Class I-Sub-A Interest and the Class I-Sub-B Interests in accordance with their principal balances following clause (i) above.
Realized Losses and Shortfalls shall be allocated in the same manner. The Trustee shall withdraw all amounts allocated to the various REMIC I-1 Regular Interests and deposit such amounts in the REMIC I-2 Distribution Account for distribution pursuant to section 3.01(a) above on such Distribution Date. Any amount remaining in the REMIC I-1 Distribution Account after making all other payments required under this Section 3.01(c) shall be distributed to the holder of the Class I-R Certificates.
Section 3.02
Allocation of Realized Losses and Shortfalls.
(a)
Realized Losses of Principal.
(i)
On each Distribution Date, the respective Applicable Fractions of each Realized Loss (other than with respect to any Subsequent Recoveries) on a Mortgage Loan, to the extent allocable to principal, shall be allocated to the related Collateral Groups for further allocation to the Class or Classes of REMIC Interests supported by such Collateral Groups in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof; provided, however, that any Realized Loss allocated to a Collateral Group shall be allocated first to the Subordinate Interests related to such Collateral Group, in reverse numerical order, until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, and then pro rata to the Senior Interests related to such Collateral Group. Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of REMIC Interests and not reimbursed on the same Distribution Date shall be allocated to the Corresponding Class or Classes of Certificates as described below.
(ii)
Prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date, to the extent that the principal portion of a Realized Loss has been allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-P Interest, the amount of such Realized Loss will be reimbursed from the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, to reimburse the Current Realized Losses and Deferred Principal Amounts. The distribution of any Current Realized Losses and Deferred Principal Amounts to a Class of Senior Interests on any Distribution Date shall not result in a further reduction of the Certificate Balance of such Class of Senior Interests, but instead shall result in the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Subordinate Interests in REMIC I-2, until the Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. The Current Realized Losses and Deferred Principal Amounts will be paid from the amounts otherwise payable to the Classes of Subordinate Interests related to the applicable REMIC, beginning with the Class having the highest numerical designation. Any Current Realized Losses and Deferred Principal Amounts not paid on the Distribution Date relating to the Due Period in which the Realized Loss was incurred will be carried forward and will be included in the Current Realized Losses and Deferred Principal Amounts for the next Distribution Date.
(b)
Realized Losses Allocable to Interest. On each Distribution Date, the portion of each Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan that exceeds the outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall be allocated pro rata to the related Collateral Group or Groups, on the basis of the amount of interest due to such Collateral Group from such Mortgage Loan. On each Distribution Date, the interest portion of each Realized Loss allocated to a Collateral Group in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be further allocated pro rata, on the basis of Accrued Certificate Interest, to each Class of related REMIC Interests; provided that the interest portion of any Realized Losses allocated to the Subordinate Interests in a REMIC as provided in this Section 3.02(b) shall be allocated to such Subordinate Interests in reverse order of seniority.
(c)
Interest Shortfall. Notwithstanding anything in the Standard Terms to the contrary, on each Distribution Date, before any distributions are made on the REMIC Interests and the Certificates, Month End Interest Shortfall not covered by compensating interest from P&I Advances and Servicemembers Shortfall with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be allocated pro rata among the Classes of the related REMIC based on the amount of interest otherwise owing thereto in reduction of that amount. Such amounts shall be allocated proportionately based on (1) in the case of the Senior Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest otherwise distributable thereon and (2) in the case of the Subordinate Certificates, interest accrued on their related Apportioned Principal Balances without regard to any reduction pursuant to this paragraph, for that Distribution Date.
(d)
Modification Losses. In the event that the Note Rate on a Mortgage Loan is reduced as a result of a modification of the terms of such Mortgage Loan, such modification shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Certificate Rate on any Class of Certificates or Class of REMIC Interest. Any shortfall resulting from any such modifications, however, shall be treated as a Realized Loss occurring on each Distribution Date and shall be applied to reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates and REMIC Interests in the manner and order of priority set forth above.
(e)
In the event of a Subsequent Recovery, which amount had previously been allocated as a Realized Loss to one or more Classes of Certificates, (i) such amount shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment Amount and shall be included in the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date occurring in the month following the month in which such recovery is received and (ii) the Certificate Balance of the Classes to which any Realized Loss had previously been allocated, whether or not such Classes remain outstanding, shall be increased in order of priority, in each case by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of such recovery and (y) the aggregate amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Classes less amounts previously allocated to such Classes pursuant to this paragraph.
