Funding Company, LLC, a Delaware corporation ("RFC") and Residential Funding Mortgage
Securities I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").
Recitals
I. RFC has entered into contracts ("Seller Contracts") with various
seller/servicers, pursuant to which such seller/servicers sell to RFC mortgage loans.
II. The Company wishes to purchase from RFC certain Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
defined) sold to RFC pursuant to the Seller Contracts.
III. The Company, RFC, as master servicer and U.S. Bank National Association, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), are entering into a Series Supplement, dated as of January 1, 2007
(the "Series Supplement"), to the Standard Terms of Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
as of November 1, 2006 (together with the Series Supplement, the "Pooling and Servicing

the "Class M Certificates") and Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates
(collectively, the "Class B Certificates"), representing beneficial ownership interests in a

Series Supplement (the "Mortgage Loans").
IV. In connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans, the Company will assign
to RFC the Class A-P Certificates, Class A-V Certificates and a de minimis portion of the
Class R-I and Class R-II Certificates (collectively the "Retained Certificates").

Certificates, RFC wishes to make certain representations and warranties to the Company and
to assign certain of its rights under the Seller Contracts to the Company, and the Company
wishes to assume certain of RFC's obligations under the Seller Contracts.
VI. The Company and RFC intend that the conveyance by RFC to the Company of all
its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and the mutual promises herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section 2. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, RFC hereby assigns to
the Company without recourse all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans, including all interest and principal, and with respect to any Sharia Mortgage Loans,
all amounts in respect of profit payments and acquisition payments, received on or with
respect to the Mortgage Loans after January 1, 2007 (other than payments of principal and
interest, and with respect to any Sharia Mortgage Loans, all amounts in respect of profit
payments and acquisition payments, due on the Mortgage Loans in January 2007). In
consideration of such assignment, RFC or its designee will receive from the Company in
immediately available funds an amount equal to $522,681,926.70 plus the Class A-P
Certificates, Class A-V Certificates and a de minimis portion of the Retained Certificates.
In connection with such assignment and at the Company's direction, RFC has in respect of
each Mortgage Loan endorsed the related Mortgage Note (other than any Destroyed Mortgage
Note) to the order of the Trustee and delivered an assignment of mortgage or security
instrument, as applicable, in recordable form to the Trustee or its agent. A "Destroyed
Mortgage Note" means a Mortgage Note the original of which was permanently lost or destroyed.
Section 3. RFC and the Company agree that the sale of each Pledged Asset Loan pursuant
to this Agreement will also constitute the assignment, sale, setting-over, transfer and
conveyance to the Company, without recourse (but subject to RFC's covenants, representations
and warranties specifically provided herein), of all of RFC's obligations and all of RFC's
right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now existing or hereafter acquired as
owner of such Pledged Asset Loan with respect to any and all money, securities, security
entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, payment intangibles, instruments, documents,
deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, commodities contracts, and other investment
property and other property of whatever kind or description consisting of, arising from or
related to, (i) the Credit Support Pledge Agreement, the Funding and Pledge Agreement among
the Mortgagor or other Person pledging the related Pledged Assets (the "Customer"), Combined
Collateral LLC and National Financial Services Corporation, and the Additional Collateral
Agreement between GMAC Mortgage, LLC and the Customer (collectively, the "Assigned
Contracts"), (ii) all rights, powers and remedies of RFC as owner of such Pledged Asset Loan
under or in connection with the Assigned Contracts, whether arising under the terms of such
Assigned Contracts, by statute, at law or in equity, or otherwise arising out of any default
by the Mortgagor under or in connection with the Assigned Contracts, including all rights to
exercise any election or option or to make any decision or determination or to give or
receive any notice, consent, approval or waiver thereunder, (iii) the Pledged Amounts and
all money, securities, security entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, payment
intangibles, instruments, documents, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, commodities
contracts, and other investment property and other property of whatever kind or description
and, all cash and non-cash proceeds of the sale, exchange, or redemption of, and all stock
or conversion rights, rights to subscribe, liquidation dividends or preferences, stock
dividends, rights to interest, dividends, earnings, income, rents, issues, profits, interest
payments or other distributions of cash or other property that secures a Pledged Asset Loan,
(iv) all documents, books and records concerning the foregoing (including all computer
programs, tapes, disks and related items containing any such information) and (v) all
insurance proceeds (including proceeds from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any other insurance company) of any of the
foregoing or replacements thereof or substitutions therefor, proceeds of proceeds and the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any thereof. The foregoing transfer, sale,
assignment and conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation,
or an assumption by the Company, of any obligation of RFC, or any other Person in connection
with the Pledged Assets or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any
obligation to the Mortgagor, other than as owner of the Pledged Asset Loan.
The Company and RFC intend that the conveyance by RFC to the Company of all its
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 2 shall be,
and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by RFC to the Company. It is, further, not
intended that such conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by RFC to the
Company to secure a debt or other obligation of RFC. However, in the event that the Mortgage
Loans are held to be property of RFC, 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 be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed to be, and
hereby is, a grant by RFC to the Company of a security interest in all of RFC's right, title
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to any and all general
intangibles, payment intangibles, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money,
deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and
investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the following: (A) the
Mortgage Loans, including (i) with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage
Note, Security Agreement, Assignment of Proprietary Lease, Cooperative Stock Certificate,
Cooperative Lease, any insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage
File (ii) with respect to any Sharia Mortgage Loan, the related Sharia Mortgage Loan
Security Instrument, Sharia Mortgage Loan Co-Ownership Agreement, Obligation to Pay,
Assignment Agreement and Amendment of Security Instrument, any insurance policies and all
other documents in the related Mortgage File and (iii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan
other than a Cooperative Loan or Sharia Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, any insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage File,
(B) all monies due or to become due pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and (C) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the
foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account or the Custodial
Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the
possession by the Trustee, the Custodian or any other agent of the Trustee of Mortgage Notes
or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, payment intangibles,
negotiable documents, goods, deposit accounts, letters of credit, advices of credit
investment property or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party,
or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of
perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and the
Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction (including, without limitation,
Sections 8-106, 9-313 and 9-106 thereof); and (d) notifications to persons holding such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments receipts or confirmations from,
securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for (as applicable) the
Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. RFC
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were determined to create a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be
determined to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and
will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, RFC shall prepare and deliver to the Company not less than 15
days prior to any filing date, and the Company shall file, or shall cause to be filed, at
the expense of RFC, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original
filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction to
perfect the Company's security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without
limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned
by (1) any change of name of RFC or the Company, (2) any change of location of the place of
business or the chief executive office of RFC or, (3) any transfer of any interest of RFC in
any Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Master Servicer shall retain all servicing
rights (including, without limitation, primary servicing and master servicing) relating to
or arising out of the Mortgage Loans, and all rights to receive servicing fees, servicing
income and other payments made as compensation for such servicing granted to it under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein
(collectively, the "Servicing Rights") and (ii) the Servicing Rights are not included in the
collateral in which RFC grants a security interest pursuant to the immediately preceding
paragraph.
Section 4. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company hereby
assigns to RFC without recourse all of its right, title and interest in and to the Class A-P
and Class A-V Certificates and a de minimis portion of the Retained Certificates as part of
the consideration payable to RFC by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 5. RFC represents and warrants to the Company that on the date of execution
hereof (or, if otherwise specified below, as of the date so specified):
(i) The information set forth in Exhibit One to the Series Supplement with respect to
each Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, is true and correct, in all
material respects, at the date or dates respecting which such information is furnished;
(ii) Except in the case of no more than 2.6% of the Mortgage Loans, each mortgage loan
with a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80%, will be insured by a primary
mortgage insurance policy (a "Primary Insurance Policy") covering at least 30% of the
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan at origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between
95.00% and 90.01%, at least 25% of the balance of the mortgage loan at origination if the
Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 90.00% and 85.01%, and at least 12% of the balance of the
mortgage loan at origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 85.00% and 80.01%. To
the best of the Company's knowledge, each such Primary Insurance Policy is in full force and
effect and the Trustee is entitled to the benefits thereunder;
(iii) Each Primary Insurance Policy insures the named insured and its successors and
assigns, and the issuer of the Primary Insurance Policy is an insurance company whose
claims-paying ability is currently acceptable to the Rating Agencies;
(iv) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Company, RFC had
good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge,
lien, encumbrance or security interest (other than rights to servicing and related
compensation and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the monthly payment due on the
first Due Date following the Cut-off Date), and no action has been taken or failed to be
taken by RFC that would materially adversely affect the enforceability of any Mortgage Loan
or the interests therein of any holder of the Certificates;
(v) No Mortgage Loan is 30 or more days delinquent in the payment of principal and
interest as of the Cut-off Date and no Mortgage Loan has been so Delinquent more than once
in the 12 month period prior to the Cut-off Date.
(vi) Subject to clause (v) above as respects delinquencies, there is no default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage and no event
which, with notice and expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration, and no such default, breach, violation or event
of acceleration has been waived by the Seller or by any other entity involved in originating
or servicing a Mortgage Loan;
(vii) There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;

(i) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee or the Company, as the case may be, at a

certifying that the original Mortgage Note has been lost or destroyed, if such Mortgage Loan
subsequently is in default and the enforcement thereof or of the related Mortgage is
materially adversely affected by the absence or defectiveness of any such document or
documents of the original Mortgage Note, a Repurchase Event shall be deemed to have occurred
and RFC will be obligated to repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in the manner
set forth in Section 4 above.

APPENDIX E - STANDARD & POOR'S PREDATORY LENDING CATEGORIES
Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in the
Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination of factors that
include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and
thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that certain loans classified by the relevant
statute as Covered are included in Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan Category because they
included thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by
the industry.
