possession of either Seller, as a seller of the Initial Mortgage Loans hereunder
or by GMACM in its capacity as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall
immediately vest in the Purchaser, and shall be promptly delivered to the
Servicer in the case of documents in possession of WG Trust and retained and

GMACM hereunder in its capacity as Servicer is required pursuant to the terms of
this Section to be part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Custodian. Each Seller's records will accurately reflect the
sale of each Seller's respective Initial Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser.
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest to the property conveyed to it pursuant to this Section 2.1.
5
(f) The parties hereto intend that the transactions set forth herein constitute
a sale by the Sellers to the Purchaser of each of the Sellers' right, title and
interest in and to their respective Initial Mortgage Loans and other property as
and to the extent described above. In the event the transactions set forth
herein are deemed not to be a sale, each Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a
security interest in all of such Seller's right, title and interest in, to and
under all accounts, chattel papers, general intangibles, contract rights,
certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, instruments, documents, letters of
credit, money, advices of credit, investment property, goods and other property
consisting of, arising under or related to the Initial Mortgage Loans and such
other property, to secure all of such Seller's obligations hereunder, and this
Agreement shall and hereby does constitute a security agreement under applicable
law. Each Seller agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions and to execute
such documents, including without limitation the filing of any continuation
statements with respect to the UCC-1 financing statements filed with respect to
the Initial Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and any
amendments thereto required to reflect a change in the name or corporate
structure of such Seller or the filing of any additional UCC-1 financing
statements due to the change in the principal office or jurisdiction of
incorporation of such Seller, as are necessary to perfect and protect the
Purchaser's interests in each Initial Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof.
Section 2.2 Sale of Subsequent HELs.
(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) below (the

such Subsequent HELs by GMACM to the Issuer. In the event that any such
transaction is deemed not to be a sale, GMACM hereby grants to the Issuer as of
each Subsequent Transfer Date a security interest in all of GMACM's right, title

documents, letters of credit, money, advices of credit, investment property,
goods and other property consisting of, arising under or related to the related
Subsequent HELs and such other property, to secure all of GMACM's obligations
hereunder, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law. GMACM agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions and to
execute such documents, including the filing of all necessary UCC-1 financing
statements filed in the State of Delaware and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
(which shall be submitted for filing as of the related Subsequent Transfer
6
Date), any continuation statements with respect thereto and any amendments
thereto required to reflect a change in the name or corporate structure of GMACM
or the filing of any additional UCC-1 financing statements due to the change in
the principal office of GMACM, as are necessary to perfect and protect the
interests of the Issuer and its assignees in each Subsequent HEL and the
proceeds thereof.

acceptance of all right, title and interest to the related Subsequent HELs and
other property, existing on the Subsequent Transfer Date and thereafter created,

Subsequent Cut-Off Date and collected after such Subsequent Cut-Off Date shall
belong to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Indenture Trustee of the Subsequent Transfer Agreement in the form of Exhibit 2,

affects the interests of the Securityholders in any Mortgage Loan, GMACM or WG
Trust, as applicable, shall, within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of
notice of such breach, either (i) cure such breach in all material respects or

Related Document, either (A) repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Issuer at

Upon discovery by either Seller or upon notice from the Purchaser, the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as
applicable, of a breach of such Seller's respective representations or
warranties in paragraphs (b) or (c)(ii) above, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, or upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders or the Purchaser in such
Mortgage Loan (notice of which shall be given to the Purchaser by the respective
Seller, if it discovers the same), notwithstanding such Seller's lack of
knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty,
such Seller shall, within 90 days after the earlier of its discovery or receipt
of notice thereof or, if such breach has the effect of making the Mortgage Loan
16
fail to be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G of the
Internal Revenue Code, within 90 days after the discovery thereof by either such
Seller, the Servicer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or
the Purchaser, either cure such breach or Repurchase Event in all material
respects or either (i) repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Issuer at the
Repurchase Price, or (ii) substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Loans for
such Mortgage Loan, in each case in the manner and subject to the conditions set

Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan only if such
substitution occurs within two years following the Closing Date. The Repurchase
Price for any such Mortgage Loan repurchased by such Seller shall be deposited
or caused to be deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial Account. Upon
discovery by the Purchaser, the Servicer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee of any breach described in this Section 3.1(d), such party
shall give prompt written notice thereof to GMACM and, in the case of the WG
Trust Initial Mortgage Loans, to WG Trust.
In the event that either Seller elects to substitute an Eligible
Substitute Loan or Loans for a Deleted Loan pursuant to this Section 3.1, such
Seller shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Issuer, with respect to
such Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note and all other
documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.1(c), with the Mortgage
Note endorsed as required by Section 2.1(c). No substitution will be made in any
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due
with respect to Eligible Substitute Loans in the month of substitution shall not
be part of the Trust Estate and will be retained by the Servicer and remitted by
the Servicer to such Seller on the next succeeding Payment Date, provided that a
payment equal to the applicable Monthly Payment for such month in respect of the
Deleted Loan has been received by the Issuer. For the month of substitution,
distributions to the Note Payment Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement
will include the Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Loan for such month and
thereafter such Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in
respect of such Deleted Loan. The Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended
the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan and the
substitution of the Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall
deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in
all respects, such Seller shall be deemed to have made the representations and
warranties with respect to the Eligible Substitute Loan contained herein set
forth in Section 3.1(b) (other than clauses (xiii), (xiv), (xxiv), (xxv),
(xxvi), (xxvii), (xxviii) (B) and (C)and (xxx) thereof), with respect to GMACM,
or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(c), with respect
to WG Trust, each as of the date of substitution and a representation and
warranty that each Mortgage Loan so substituted is an Eligible Substitute Loan
as of the date of substitution, and such Seller shall be obligated to repurchase
or substitute for any Eligible Substitute Loan as to which a Repurchase Event
has occurred as provided herein. In connection with the substitution of one or
more Eligible Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Servicer shall
determine the amount (such amount, a "Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any,
by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Eligible Substitute Loans
as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate principal balance of
all such Deleted Loans (after application of the principal portion of the
Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that are to be distributed to
the Note Payment Account in the month of substitution). Such Seller shall
deposit the amount of such shortfall into the Custodial Account on the date of
substitution, without any reimbursement therefor.
17
Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the
Custodian of written notification, signed by a Servicing Officer, of the deposit
of such Repurchase Price or of such substitution of an Eligible Substitute Loan
(together with the complete related Mortgage File) and deposit of any applicable
Substitution Adjustment Amount as provided above, the Custodian, on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee, shall release to such Seller the related Mortgage File
for the Mortgage Loan being repurchased or substituted for and the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to vest in such Seller or its designee such Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be an asset
of the Issuer.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of each Seller to cure
any breach, or to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which
such a breach has occurred and is continuing, shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such breach available to the Purchaser, the Issuer, the
Certificateholders (or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders)
and the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders)
against such Seller.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 3.1 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Issuer or the Custodian.

parties claiming through or under such Seller; provided, however, that nothing
in this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to apply to any Liens for municipal or other

the other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.5 Relationship of Parties. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or
construed to create a partnership or joint venture among the parties hereto, and

Section 8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original
and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 8.7 Further Agreements. The parties hereto each agree to execute and
deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments or agreements as may
be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
Section 8.8 Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties hereto
that the Purchaser will be purchasing on the Closing Date, and the Sellers will
be selling on the Closing Date, the Initial Mortgage Loans, rather than the
Purchaser providing a loan to the Sellers secured by the Initial Mortgage Loans
on the Closing Date; and that the Issuer will be purchasing on each Subsequent
Transfer Date, and GMACM will be selling on each Subsequent Transfer Date, the
related Subsequent HELs, rather than the Issuer providing a loan to GMACM
secured by the related Subsequent HELs on each Subsequent Transfer Date.
Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat this transaction for
federal income tax purposes as (i) a sale by the Sellers, and a purchase by the
Purchaser, of the Initial Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date and (ii) a sale by
GMACM, and a purchase by the Issuer, of the related Subsequent HELs on each
Subsequent Transfer Date. The Purchaser and the Issuer shall each have the right
to review the Mortgage Loans and the Related Documents to determine the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the federal income tax
consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans, and each Seller shall cooperate with
all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser or the Issuer in the course of
such review.
Section 8.9 Successors and Assigns; Assignment of This Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. The
obligations of each Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated
to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser (and the Issuer with
respect to the transfer of any Subsequent HELs), which consent shall be at the
Purchaser's sole discretion (and the Issuer's sole discretion with respect to
the transfer of any Subsequent HELs); provided, that each Seller may assign its
obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of such Seller, to any Person succeeding
to the business of such Seller, to any Person into which such Seller is merged
and to any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which such Seller is a party. The parties hereto acknowledge that (i) the
Purchaser is acquiring the Initial Mortgage Loans for the purpose of
contributing them to the GMACM Mortgage Loan Trust 2000-HE3 and (ii) the Issuer
is acquiring the Subsequent HELs for the purpose of pledging the Subsequent HELs
to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(b) As an inducement to the Purchaser and the Issuer to purchase the Initial
Mortgage Loans and to the Issuer to purchase any Subsequent HELs, each Seller

such actions and to execute such documents, including without limitation the
filing of all necessary UCC-1 financing statements filed in the State of
