sold to RFC pursuant to the Seller Contracts.

(the "Trustee"), are entering into a Series Supplement, dated as of February 1, 2007 (the "Series
Supplement"), and the Standard Terms of Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2006
(collectively, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company proposes to issue

minimis portion of the Class R-1 Certificates.
E. In connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and the issuance of the Certificates,
RFC wishes to make certain representations and warranties to the Company.
F. 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:
1. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
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
received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after February 1, 2007 (other than payments of principal
and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before February 27, 2007). In consideration of such assignment,

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 in recordable form to the
Trustee or its agent.

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,

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. Nonetheless,
(a) this Agreement is intended to be and hereby is 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 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 state of
formation, 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.
3. 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 a de minimis portion of the Class R-1
Certificates as part of the consideration payable to RFC by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
4. 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):

(b) Except for one Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.1% of the aggregate principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans at origination, each Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in

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;

remedies of the holder adequate to realize the benefits of the security against the Mortgaged Property,
including (i) in the case of a Mortgage that is a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, (ii) by summary

trustee under any Mortgage that is a deed of trust;
(n) The Mortgage Loans are hybrid adjustable-rate, fully-amortizing, first lien mortgage

Mortgage Loan subsequently is in default and the enforcement thereof or of the related Mortgage is materially
adversely affected by the absence 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.
6. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and

XXXXXXXX X - 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.
