WHEREAS, GSMC, the Assignor, the Seller and the Servicer have entered into the Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement dated as of October 1, 2006 (the “GSMC Assignment Agreement”), pursuant to which GSMC has sold to the Assignor the Mortgage Loans and assigned its rights under the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement to the Assignor;

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Master Servicing and Trust Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2006 (together with the October 2006 Edition of the Standard Terms thereto, the “Trust Agreement”), among the Assignor, as depositor, the Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as securities administrator, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as a custodian, and the Assignee, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the Assignor will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Assignee, together with the Assignor’s rights in the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Assignment and Assumption.

(a) The Assignor hereby assigns to the Assignee all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans (other than the rights of the Assignor to indemnification thereunder), and the Assignee hereby assumes all of the Assignor’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans from and after the date hereof, and the Servicer and Seller hereby acknowledge such assignment and assumption and hereby agree to the release of the Assignor from any obligations under the Servicing Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, respectively, from and after the date hereof, to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans.

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

(c) The Servicer and the Assignor shall have the right to amend, modify or terminate the Servicing Agreement and the Seller and the Assignor shall have the right to amend, modify or terminate the Purchase Agreement or the Commitment Letters, in each case, 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.

(d) The Assignor hereby assigns to the Assignee, any rights of the Assignor with respect to early payment defaults or first payment defaults in the Commitment Letters, but only to the extent such provision relates to the Mortgage Loans. The foregoing shall constitute the Assignor’s consent to the assignment of the Commitment Letters (to the extent required by the terms of each Commitment Letter.)

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the Commitment Letters to the contrary, in the event any Mortgage Loan is repurchased by the Seller pursuant to any early payment default or first payment default provisions of the Commitment Letters, the “Repurchase Price” payable to the Assignee shall be an amount equal to the sum of: (a) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of such repurchase, (b) accrued interest on such outstanding principal balance at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate from the date interest was last paid through the last day of the month in which such repurchase takes place, (c) the amount of any outstanding advances owed to the servicer (so long as Washington Mutual is not the servicer), and (d) any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any servicer (so long as Washington Mutual is not the servicer) or the Trustee, including without limitation costs and expenses incurred in the enforcement of the Seller’s repurchase obligation under the Commitment Letters. It is hereby understood that the right to any excess over such amount set forth in the definition of “Repurchase Price” set forth in any Commitment Letter is not being sold or assigned hereunder and is being retained by the Assignor.

(f) The Trust (including the Trustee and the Master Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf) shall have all the rights and remedies available to the Assignor, insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, under any early payment default or first payment default provisions of the Commitment Letters including, without limitation, the enforcement of the repurchase requirements set forth therein, and shall be entitled to enforce all the obligations of the Seller thereunder insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans.

(d) Authorization; No Breach. 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.

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.

(h) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 of the Purchase Agreement, to the extent they relate to matters arising on or after the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase 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 3.1 of the Purchase Agreement to (i) the “Cut-off Date” shall be deemed to be a reference to October 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 October 30, 2006.

(i) Each Mortgage Loan, at the time it was originated, complied in all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws; and none of the Mortgage Loans are “high-cost,” “high-cost home” or “covered” (excluding home loans defined as “covered home loans” pursuant to the New Jersey Home Ownership Act of 2002) loans under any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending law.

(j) 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. In addition, no Transferred Mortgage Loan is a “high-cost,” “high-cost home,” “covered,” “high-risk home,” or “predatory” 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), and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective Collateral Files to the custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee, the Seller, the Servicer and their respective assigns notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Assignor, the Master Servicer 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 6 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 5.

It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 5, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.

6. 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 from 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect, such cure or repurchase must take place within 75 days of the date such defect is discovered.

In the event the Seller has breached a representation or warranty under the Purchase Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee shall first proceed against the Seller. If the Seller does not cure such breach or purchase the Mortgage Loan, in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, the Assignee shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of the Assignor hereunder to cure such breach or to repurchase the Mortgage Loan from the trust formed pursuant the Trust Agreement. In such event, the Assignor shall succeed to the rights of the Assignee to enforce the obligations of the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Purchase Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

Except as specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have no responsibility to enforce any provision of the Purchase Agreement, to oversee compliance thereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.

7. Amendment of the Servicing Agreement.

(b) Section 3.2(a) of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by inserting after the first reference to “Monthly Remittance Date,” the following:

(c) Section 6.1(x) of the Servicing Agreement, as amended by that certain Regulation AB Amendment to Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2006, shall be amended by replacing the words “which continues unremedied for ten calendar days” with the words “which continues unremedied for five calendar days”.

(d) Section 8.6 of the Servicing Agreement, as amended by that certain Regulation AB Amendment to Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2006, shall be amended by replacing the words “On or before March 15 of each calendar year” with the words “On or before March 10 of each calendar year.”

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.

For purposes of this Section 7, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Servicing Agreement.

8. Indemnification by Servicer.

The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Assignee, its present and former directors, officers, employees and assignees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any and all third party claims, losses, penalties, damages, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Indemnified Party may sustain (for avoidance of doubt, including those payable by an Indemnified Party to any third party, including affiliates of such Indemnified Party) in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, the Servicer shall not be liable hereunder with respect to (i) any action or inaction resulting from the written direction or consent of an Indemnified Party, (ii) any action or inaction resulting from an Indemnified Party’s failure to cause any Collateral File (or portion thereof) to be released to the Servicer pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 4.2(c) of the Servicing Agreement, or (iii) any action or inaction resulting from an Indemnified Party’s failure to comply with Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.6 of the Servicing Agreement.
