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,

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, 2006 (other than payments of

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.
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, certificates of deposit, commodities contracts, and other 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

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 (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 I-A-P Certificates, the Class I-A-V
Certificates, the Class II-A-P Certificates, the Class II-A-V 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):

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 nine Mortgage Loans representing approximately 0.7% of the aggregate principal balance of

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 as to the related

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

applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable anti-predatory lending
laws;

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 foreclosure, and there is no homestead or other
exemption available to the Mortgagor that would interfere with such right to sell at a trustee's sale or right to
foreclosure, subject in each case to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedents with respect to
bankruptcy and right of redemption;

trustee's sale after 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;
(n) The Mortgage Loans are conventional, fixed rate, fully-amortizing, first mortgage

Mortgaged Properties lie wholly within the boundaries and the building restriction lines of the Mortgaged

shall maintain the 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.
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. 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.

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.
