For and in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

The Assignor hereby agrees that it will (i) deliver possession of notes evidencing the Mortgage Loans to, or at the direction of, the Assignee or its designee and (ii) take in a timely manner all necessary steps under all applicable laws to convey and to perfect the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans as required under the Master Servicing and Trust Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2007 (the “Trust Agreement”), among the Depositor, Deutsche Bank, as Trustee and as a custodian, U.S. Bank National Association, as a custodian, The Bank of New York Trust Company, National Association, as a custodian and Wells Fargo, as Master Servicer, securities administrator and as a custodian.
 
The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder (i) any and all right, title and interest in, to and under and any obligations of the Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject to the Servicing Agreement that are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and are not the subject of this Agreement, (ii) any rights and obligations of the Assignor pursuant to the Servicing Agreement arising prior to the date hereof or (iii) the rights and obligations of the Owner under the Servicing Agreement relating to the Owner’s right to terminate the Servicer, the Owner’s right to receive information from the Servicer, and the Owner’s obligation to execute certain confidentiality agreements.
 
The Assignee hereby assumes all of the Assignor’s obligations under the Mortgage Loans and the Servicing Agreement solely insofar as such obligations relate to the Mortgage Loans, other than the obligations set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding paragraph.
 

 
The parties hereto agree that with respect to the Mortgage Loans being serviced under the Servicing Agreement the Servicing Fee Rate for the Mortgage Loans shall be the rate set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
 
2. Recognition of the Assignee.
 
(a) The Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that from and after the date hereof (i) the Trust will be the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the Servicer will be the servicer of the Mortgage Loans on or after the applicable Transfer Date pursuant to the terms set forth in the Trust Agreement, (ii) the Servicer shall look solely to the Trust (including the Trustee and the Master Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf) for performance of any obligations of the Assignor under the Mortgage Loans and the Servicing Agreement (solely insofar as it relates to the Mortgage Loans) (except for such obligations of the Assignor retained by the Assignor hereunder), (iii) the Trust (including the Trustee and the Master Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf) shall have all the rights and remedies available to the Assignor, insofar as they relate to (A) the Mortgage Loans and (B) the Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, the enforcement of the document delivery requirements set forth in Section 2.07 of the Servicing Agreement, and shall be entitled to enforce all of the obligations of the Servicer thereunder insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation, the remedies for breaches of representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Servicing Agreement (except for the rights and remedies retained by the Assignor hereunder), (iv) all references to the Owner under the Servicing Agreement insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to refer to the Trust (except to the extent of the rights and obligations retained by the Assignor hereunder) (including the Trustee and the Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf) and (v) the Mortgage Loans will be part of a REMIC, and the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans and any real property acquired upon default thereof (including, without limitation, making or permitting any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan) after the date hereof in accordance with the Servicing Agreement but in no event in a manner that would (A) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, and the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as set forth in Section 860G(c) of the Code). Neither the Servicer nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver, or otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Servicing Agreement which amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect the Mortgage Loans or the Servicer’s performance under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer.
 
(b) From and after the date hereof, the Servicer shall note the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Assignee in its books and records, shall recognize the Assignee as the owner of the Mortgage Loans and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, shall service all of the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Assignee pursuant to the Servicing Agreement the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. It is the intention of the Assignor, Servicer and Assignee that the Servicing Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Servicer and the Assignee and their successors and assigns.
 

 
(c) The Servicer further acknowledges that, from and after the date hereof, it (and any of its successors under the Servicing Agreement) will be subject to the supervision of the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and that the Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee as the owner of the Mortgage Loans, shall have the same rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans as were assigned by GSMC, in its capacity as the original “Owner” under the Servicing Agreement, to the Assignor under the GSMC Assignment Agreement, and further assigned hereunder by the Assignor to the Trustee, on behalf of the trust formed pursuant to the Trust Agreement. Such rights that Master Servicer may enforce on behalf of the Trustee will include, without limitation, the right to terminate the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans upon the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, the right to receive all remittances required to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans under the Servicing Agreement, the right to receive all monthly reports and other data required to be delivered by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans under the Servicing Agreement and the right to exercise certain rights of consent and approval relating to actions taken by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

The Assignor intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loans;
 
(b) The Assignor has not waived the performance by any Mortgagor of any action, if such Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Servicer waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by such Mortgagor;

6. Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties of the Assignor.
 
With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Assignor hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Assignor set forth in Section 5 hereof or as set forth in the Servicing Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Assignee or the Trust therein, within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Assignor of such breach of a representation or warranty, it shall cure, purchase, cause the purchase of, or substitute for the applicable Mortgage Loan in the same manner and subject to the conditions set forth in the Servicing Agreement.
