Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), are entering into a Series Supplement, dated as of
August 1, 2007 (the "Series Supplement"), and the Standard Terms of Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2007 (collectively, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),

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.

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.

its designee will receive from the Company in immediately available funds an amount equal to

Mortgage Note) to the order of the Trustee and delivered an assignment of mortgage in
recordable form to the Trustee or its agent.

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

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

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 (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 a de minimis
portion of the Class R-I Certificates and Class R-II 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 and provided

either (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee or the Company, as the case may be,

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.

APPENDIX E - 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.
