THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT dated April 1, 2006 (this “Assignment Agreement”), is among GS Mortgage Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Assignor”), Citibank N.A., not in its individual capacity, but solely as trustee on behalf of GSR Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-AR2 (the “Assignee” or the “Trustee”) and Residential Funding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Servicer”), and is acknowledged by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Xxxxx Fargo”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”).

WHEREAS, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Company (“GSMC”) and the Servicer have entered into the Standard Terms and Provisions of Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 29, 2005 (the “Servicing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Servicer sold certain mortgage loans, including the Mortgage Loans (as defined below), to GSMC;

WHEREAS, GSMC has assigned and conveyed certain mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), which Mortgage Loans are subject to the relevant provisions of the Servicing Agreement, to the Assignor pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of April 1, 2006 (the “GSMC Assignment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Assignee has agreed on certain terms and conditions to purchase from the Assignor the Mortgage Loans acquired by the Assignor pursuant to the GSMC Assignment Agreement, which Mortgage Loans are listed on the mortgage loan schedule attached as Schedule A hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Master Servicing and Trust Agreement dated as of April 1, 2006 (the “Trust Agreement”), among the Assignor, as depositor, the Assignee, as trustee, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as a custodian, Xxxxx Fargo, as securities administrator, Master Servicer and a custodian (in such capacity, the “WFB Custodian”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as a custodian, the Assignor will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, together with the Assignor’s rights under the Servicing Agreement, to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans (other than the rights of the Assignor to indemnification thereunder).

For and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Assignment and Assumption.

With respect to the mortgage loans listed in Schedule A hereto (the “Mortgage Loans”), the Assignor hereby grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor, as Owner, in, to and under the Servicing Agreement (other than the rights of the Assignor to indemnification thereunder), the Mortgage Loans delivered thereunder by the Company to the Assignor, the GSMC Assignment Agreement and that certain Custodial Agreement dated as of August 1, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of October 25, 2003 (as amended, the “Custodial Agreement”), each between GSMC and the WFB Custodian (as successor in interest to Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.).

The Assignor represents and warrants to the Assignee that the Assignor has not taken any action that would serve to impair or encumber the Assignor’s ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans since the date of the Servicing Agreement.

The Servicer and the Assignor shall have the right to amend, modify or terminate the Servicing Agreement without the joinder of the Assignee with respect to mortgage loans not conveyed to the Assignee hereunder; provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not affect or be binding on the Assignee.

Accuracy of Agreement. The Servicer and the Assignor represent and warrant to the Assignee that (i) attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a true, accurate and complete copy of the Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Servicing Agreement is in full force and effect as of the date hereof, (iii) other than as specified herein, the Servicing Agreement has not been amended or modified other than as set forth herein in any respect and (iv) no notice of termination has been given to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

Representations and Warranties of the Assignor. The Assignor warrants and represents to, and covenants with, the Assignee that:

The Assignor is the lawful owner of the Mortgage Loans with the full right to transfer such Mortgage Loans, which transfer is made subject to the terms and provisions of the Servicing Agreement but free from any other claims and encumbrances;

The Assignor has not received notice of, and has no knowledge of, any offsets, counterclaims or other defenses available to the Company with respect to the Servicing Agreement or the Mortgage Loans;

Unless noted below, the Assignor has not waived or agreed to any waiver under, or agreed to any amendment or other modification of, the Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation the transfer of the servicing obligations under the Servicing Agreement. The Assignor has no knowledge of, and has not received notice of, any waivers under or amendments or other modifications of, or assignments of rights or obligations under, the Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the Mortgage Loans;

Neither the Assignor nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged sold or otherwise disposed of the Mortgage Loans or any interest in the Mortgage Loans to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Mortgage Loans or any interest in the Mortgage Loans from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Mortgage Loans, any interest in the Mortgage Loans with, any Person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Mortgage Loans under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or which would render the disposition of the Mortgage Loans a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or require registration pursuant thereto;

The Assignor has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Servicing Agreement and this Assignment Agreement;

This Assignment Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Assignor, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid, and binding agreement of the Assignor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law;

The execution, delivery and performance by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date thereof;

The execution and delivery of this Assignment Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Assignor; neither the execution and delivery by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement, nor the consummation by the Assignor of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by the Assignor with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of the governing documents of the Assignor or any law, governmental rule or regulation or any material judgment, decree or order binding on the Assignor or any of its properties, or any of the provisions of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which the Assignor is a party or by which it is bound;

There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Assignor, threatened, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter that in the judgment of the Assignor will be determined adversely to the Assignor and will if determined adversely to the Assignor materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Assignment Agreement;

Except for the sale to the Assignee, the Assignor has not assigned or pledged any Mortgage Note or the related Mortgage or any interest or participation therein;

The Assignor has not satisfied, canceled, or subordinated in whole or in part, or rescinded the Mortgage, and the Assignor has not released the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has the Assignor executed an instrument that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination, or rescission. The Assignor has not released any Mortgagor, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement or other agreement approved by the related federal insurer, to the extent such approval was required;

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.04(b) of the Servicing Agreement, to the extent they relate to matters arising on or after the related Closing Date (as defined in the Servicing Agreement), are true and correct as of the date of this Assignment Agreement. For purposes of making the representations and warranties contemplated in the foregoing sentence, each reference in Section 2.04(b) of the Servicing Agreement to (i) the “Cut-off Date” shall be deemed to be a reference to April 1, 2006, (ii) the “Mortgage Loan Schedule” shall be deemed to be a reference to Exhibit 1 hereto and (iii) the “Closing Date” shall be deemed to be a reference to April 28, 2006; and

No Mortgage Loan is classified as a “high cost” mortgage loan under Section 32 of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended, and no Mortgage Loan is considered a “high cost” mortgage loan under any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending law (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or fees). In addition, no Transferred Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan,” as applicable, as such terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELSâ Glossary.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the WFB Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its assigns notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Assignor or the Assignee and its assigns of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Assignment Agreement, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days from the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in Section 7 below to repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available to the Assignee and its assigns on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 3. It is further understood and agreed that the Assignor shall be deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in this Section 3 with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in this Section 3, by the Servicer in the Servicing Agreement (or any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant thereto).

It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 3, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.

Representations and Warranties of the Assignee. The Assignee warrants and represents to, and covenants with, the Assignor and the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Servicing Agreement that:

The Assignee agrees to be bound, as Owner, by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loans and the Custodial Agreement and from and after the date hereof, the Assignee assumes for the benefit of each of the Company and the Assignor all of the Assignor’s obligations as Owner thereunder;

The Assignee understands that the Mortgage Loans have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. The Assignee is not acquiring the Mortgage Loans with a view to or for sale or other transfer in connection with any distribution of the Mortgage Loans in any manner that would violate the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. The Assignee has been furnished with all information regarding the Mortgage Loans that it has requested from the Assignor or the Company. Neither the Assignee nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Mortgage Loans, any interest in the Mortgage Loans to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Mortgage Loans, any interest in the Mortgage Loans from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Mortgage Loans, any interest in the Mortgage Loans with, any Person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner or taken any other action, which would constitute a distribution of the Mortgage Loans under the Securities Act or which would render the disposition of the Mortgage Loans a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in such manner with respect to the Mortgage Loans;

The Assignee is either (i) not an employee benefit plan that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”)(a “Plan”) and not a Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or investing with “plan assets” of any such Plan or (ii) an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA and the assignment contemplated herein does not constitute and will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code;

The Assignee shall indemnify the Company for any loss or liability incurred by the Company arising (i) from any breach of warranty, representation or covenant of the Assignee made herein that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Company or (ii) by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Assignee in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder;

The Assignee represents and warrants that it is a sophisticated investor able to evaluate the risks and merits of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that it has not relied in connection therewith upon any statements or representations of the Assignor or the Servicer other than those contained in the Servicing Agreement or this Assignment Agreement;

The Assignee hereto represents and warrants that it is duly and legally authorized to enter into this Assignment Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement; and

The Assignee hereto represents and warrants that this Assignment Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by each of the other parties hereto) constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Recognition of Assignee; Modifications.

From and after the date hereof, the Company shall note the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Assignee in its books and records, shall recognize the Assignee as the owner of the Mortgage Loans and shall, subject to clause (b) below, service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Assignee . The Company acknowledges that the Mortgage Loans will become part of a REMIC and the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, but in no event in a manner that would (i) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code). It is the intention of the Assignor, the Company and the Assignee that the Servicing Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Assignee and their respective successors and assigns.

The Servicer further acknowledges that, from and after the date hereof, it (and any of its successors under the Servicing Agreement) will be subject to the supervision of the Master Servicer and that the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the owner of the Mortgage Loans, shall have the same rights as were assigned by GSMC, in its capacity as the original purchaser under the Servicing Agreement, to the Assignor under the GSMC Assignment Agreement, and further assigned hereunder by the Assignor to the Assignee, on behalf of the Trust. Such rights will include, without limitation, the right to terminate the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement upon the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, the right to receive all remittances required to be made by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the right to receive all monthly reports and other data required to be delivered by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, indemnification rights under the Servicing Agreement and the right to exercise certain rights of consent and approval under the Servicing Agreement relating to actions taken by the Servicer.

Modification. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that after the date hereof, each Mortgage Loan transferred hereunder will be subject to, and serviced under, the Servicing Agreement, provided that, solely with respect to the Mortgage Loans transferred hereunder, the following modifications shall be made:

(i)

Article I of the Servicing Agreement shall be modified by adding or, if applicable, deleting such definitions in their entirety and replacing them as set forth herein:

Remittance Date: The 18^th calendar day of any month or, if such 18^th day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such date.

Servicing Fee Rate: As to each Mortgage Loan, an amount equal to rate set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(ii)

Section 3.01 of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by adding the following as the second sentence of such section:

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) if there is any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Program Guide and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and (ii) if compliance with any change in the Program Guide after the effective date of this Agreement would have an adverse effect on the rating of any of the Certificates issued by the Trust or would result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the related REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code), or cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, the Company shall continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the Program Guide without giving effect to any such change.

(iii)

Section 3.07(vii) of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by deleting that subsection in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

to reimburse itself for any Servicing Advance, Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or Liquidation Expenses not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to this Section 3.07.

(iv)

Section 3.15 of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by deleting the last paragraph thereof in its entirety.

(v)

Section 3.17 of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by deleting that section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

In the event that the Mortgage Loans in a Mortgage Pool are transferred by the Owner directly or indirectly to a securitization trust (a “Securitization Trust”), other than pursuant to Section 3.18(a), then, upon request of the Owner or any other person as specified in the related pooling and servicing agreement or similar agreement (and except as otherwise specified therein), the Company shall cause the servicing officer in charge of servicing of the Company to execute and deliver a certification (the “Backup Certification”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H in connection with such Securitization Trust, not later than March 15 of each calendar year following the first fiscal year of the Securitization Trust; provided that such Backup Certification shall no longer be required if periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are no longer required with respect to the Securitization Trust.

(vi)

Section 4.01 of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by adding the following paragraph to the end thereof:

With respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to LIBOR, adjusted as of the date of each charge, plus one percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Company to the Owner on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the date following the day on which such payment is due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or waiver by the Owner of any Event of Default by the Company

(vii)

Section 4.03 of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by adding the following sentence to the end thereof:

In the event that the Company determines that any advances are Nonrecoverable Monthly Advances, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a certificate signed by two officers of the Company evidencing such determination.

(viii)

Section 7.01 of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by adding the following language at the end of the first sentence of the second paragraph thereof: “and is subject to the requirements of Section 5.04.”

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, such Master Servicer and such Depositor) regarding the Company's assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be addressed to the Purchaser, such Master Servicer and such Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Company, and shall address each of the "Applicable Servicing Criteria" specified on Exhibit 8 hereto delivered to the Purchaser at the time of any Securitization Transaction.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicing Agreement is not hereby amended with respect to any other mortgage loans serviced thereunder and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms with respect to such other mortgage loans.

All reports, notices and other written information required to be delivered to the Assignee, as the successor in interest to GSMC and the Assignor under the Servicing Agreement, shall also be delivered to the Master Servicer or the Assignee, as designated by the Assignee, at the address set forth in Section 11 hereof. All remittances required to be made to the Assignee, as the successor in interest to GSMC and the Assignor under the Servicing Agreement, shall be made instead to the Master Servicer by wire transfer to the following account:

Repurchase of Mortgage Loans.

Upon discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Assignment Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by the Assignor of such breach or the date on which it is notified of the breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor’s obligation hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Trust Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect (as defined in the Trust Agreement), then such cure or repurchase must take place within 45 days of discovery of such Qualification Defect.
