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.

        VI.    The  Company and RFC intend  that the  conveyance  by RFC to the Company of all

        NOW THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the recitals and the mutual  promises herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.       All  capitalized  terms used but not defined  herein  shall have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 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,  and with respect to any Sharia  Mortgage Loans,

related  Mortgage  Note (other than any Destroyed  Mortgage  Note) to the order of the Trustee
and delivered an assignment of mortgage or security instrument,  as applicable,  in recordable
form to the  Trustee or its agent.  A  "Destroyed  Mortgage  Note"  means a Mortgage  Note the
original of which was permanently lost or destroyed.

Section 3.       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 to, (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,  LLC  and  the  Customer   (collectively,   the  "Assigned

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

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 stock
or  conversion  rights,  rights to  subscribe,  liquidation  dividends or  preferences,  stock

programs,  tapes,  disks and  related  items  containing  any such  information)  and  (v) all

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.  However,  in the event that the Mortgage
Loans are held to be property of RFC,  or if for any reason this  Agreement  is held or deemed
to create a security  interest  in the  Mortgage  Loans,  then it is  intended  that  (a) this
Agreement  shall be 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,

Cooperative  Lease,  any insurance  policies and all other  documents in the related  Mortgage
File (ii) with  respect  to any  Sharia  Mortgage  Loan,  the  related  Sharia  Mortgage  Loan
Security  Instrument,  Sharia  Mortgage  Loan  Co-Ownership  Agreement,   Obligation  to  Pay,
Assignment  Agreement and  Amendment of Security  Instrument,  any insurance  policies and all
other  documents in the related  Mortgage  File and  (iii) with  respect to each Mortgage Loan
other than a  Cooperative  Loan or Sharia  Mortgage  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 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.

or notes  representing  interests in mortgage  loans that are in all material  respects of the
same type as the Mortgage  Loans,  and which are  structured to be  permissible  under Islamic

prior to the date hereof,  (a) held by investors  other than employee  benefit plans,  and (b)
rated at least BBB- or Baa3, as applicable, by a Rating Agency; and

(xxxviii)      No  fraud  or  misrepresentation   has  taken  place  in  connection  with  the

        RFC shall provide  written  notice to GMAC  Mortgage,  LLC of the sale of each Pledged
Asset Loan to the Company  hereunder  and by the Company to the Trustee  under the Pooling and
Servicing  Agreement,  and 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,
except as otherwise  provided in Section 2.04 of the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement,  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  set forth in clause (xii)
or (xxxviii) 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.

Section 6.       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  listed on the  attached  Schedule  A with  respect  to which any  document  or
documents  constituting  a part of the Mortgage  File are missing or defective in any material
respect  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  or  defectiveness  of any such  document  or
documents 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.

Section 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.

EXHIBIT A 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.
