ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT, dated July 28, 2005, between
Residential Funding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("RFC"), and Residential
Accredit Loans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").
Recitals
A. RFC has entered into contracts ("Seller Contracts") with
various seller/servicers, pursuant to which such seller/servicers sell to RFC

B. The Company wishes to purchase from RFC certain Mortgage Loans
(as hereinafter defined) sold to RFC pursuant to the Seller Contracts.
C. The Company, RFC, as master servicer, and Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), are entering into a Series
Supplement, dated as of July 1, 2005 (the "Series Supplement"), and the Standard
Terms of Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2004
(collectively, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), pursuant to which the
Company proposes to issue Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2005-QS10 (the "Certificates") consisting of eleven classes designated as

III-A-4, Class A-P, Class A-V, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III

identified in Exhibit One to the Series Supplement (the "Mortgage Loans").
D. In connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans, the
Company will assign to RFC the Class A-V Certificates, the Class A-P
Certificates and a de minimis portion of each of the Class R-I, Class R-II and
Class R-III 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 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.
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.

interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal
received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after July 1, 2005 (other than

agent.
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, (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 Corporation 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,

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 (i) with respect to each 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 and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan other
than a Cooperative 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 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 the Class A-V Certificates, Class A-P Certificates and a de
minimis portion of each of the Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III
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):
(a) 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;
(b) Each Mortgage Loan is required to be covered by a standard
hazard insurance policy. Except in the case of ten Mortgage Loans representing
approximately 0.6% of the aggregate principal balance 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 Insurance Policy covering at least 35% of the
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan at origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio
is between 100.00% and 95.01%, 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 if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 90.00%
and 85.01% and at least 12% of the balance 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;
(c) 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;
(d) 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;
(e) No Mortgage Loan was 30 or more days delinquent in 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;
(f) Subject to clause (e) 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;
(g) There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any
Mortgaged Property;
(h) No Mortgagor has any right of offset, defense or counterclaim

agreement for a Buydown Mortgage Loan;
(i) There are no mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor or
material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to,
or equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except such liens that are
insured or indemnified against by a title insurance policy described under
clause (aa) below;
(j) Each Mortgaged Property is free of damage and in good repair
and no notice of condemnation has been given with respect thereto and RFC knows
of nothing involving any Mortgaged Property that could reasonably be expected to
materially adversely affect the value or marketability of any Mortgaged
Property;
(k) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all
material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but
not limited to, all applicable anti-predatory lending laws;
(l) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
which render the rights and 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
foreclosure, if available under applicable law, and (iii) otherwise by

trustee duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such is properly named,

default by a Mortgagor, no fees or expenses are payable by the Seller or RFC to
the trustee under any Mortgage that is a deed of trust;

interest as owner of each Pledged Asset Loan in and to each of the Assigned

Schedule of Additional Owner Mortgage Loans (as defined in the Credit Support
Pledge Agreement), showing the Trustee as the Additional Owner of each such
Pledged Asset Loan, all in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Credit Support
Pledge Agreement.
Upon discovery by RFC or upon notice from the Company or the Trustee of
a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties in respect of any
Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the interests of any
holders of the Certificates or of the Company in such Mortgage Loan or upon the
occurrence of a Repurchase Event (hereinafter defined), notice of which breach
or occurrence shall be given to the Company by RFC, if it discovers the same,
RFC shall, within 90 days after the earlier of its discovery or receipt of
notice thereof, either cure such breach or Repurchase Event in all material
respects or, either (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee or the
Company, as the case may be, at a price equal to the Purchase Price for such
Mortgage Loan or (ii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
for such Mortgage Loan in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the breach of
representation and warranty that gave rise to the obligation to repurchase or
substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 4 was the representation and
warranty set forth in clause (k) of this Section 4, then RFC shall pay to the
Trust Fund, concurrently with and in addition to the remedies provided in the
preceding sentence, an amount equal to any liability, penalty or expense that
was actually incurred and paid out of or on behalf of the Trust Fund, and that
directly resulted from such breach, or if incurred and paid by the Trust Fund
thereafter, concurrently with such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RFC
shall not be required to cure breaches, Repurchase Events or purchase or
substitute for Mortgage Loans as provided above if the substance of such breach
or Repurchase Event also constitutes fraud in the origination of the Mortgage
Loan.
5. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, a first lien repurchase
event ("Repurchase Event") shall have occurred if it is discovered that, as of
the date thereof, the related Mortgage was not a valid first lien on the related
Mortgaged Property subject only to (i) the lien of real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions, and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of
the date of recording of such Mortgage and such permissible title exceptions as
are listed in the Program Guide and (iii) other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject which do not materially adversely affect the value, use,
enjoyment or marketability of the Mortgaged Property. In addition, with respect
to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Company delivers to the Trustee or the
Custodian an affidavit 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 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. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, RFC
hereby assigns to the Company, and the Company hereby assumes, all of RFC's
rights and obligations under the Seller Contracts with respect to the Mortgage
Loans to be serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, insofar as such
rights and obligations relate to (a) any representations and warranties
regarding a Mortgage Loan made by a Seller under any Seller Contract and any
remedies available under the Seller Contract for a breach of any such
representations and warranties if (i) the substance of such breach also
constitutes fraud in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the
representation and warranty relates to the absence of toxic materials or other
environmental hazards that could affect the Mortgaged Property, or (b) the
Seller's obligation to deliver to RFC the documents required to be contained in
the Mortgage File and any rights and remedies available to RFC under the Seller
Contract in respect of such obligation or in the event of a breach of such
obligation; provided that, notwithstanding the assignment and assumption
hereunder, RFC shall have the concurrent right to exercise remedies and pursue
indemnification upon a breach by a Seller under any Seller Contract of any of
its representations and warranties.
7. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no
other person shall have any right or obligation hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Assignment
and Assumption Agreement on the date first written above.

XXXXXXXX X - STANDARD & POOR'S ANTI-PREDATORY LENDING CATEGORIZATION
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.
