WHEREAS, the Assignee has agreed on certain terms and conditions to purchase from the Assignor the Mortgage Loans acquired by the Assignor pursuant to the GSMC Assignment Agreement, which Mortgage Loans are listed on the mortgage loan schedule attached as Exhibit 1 hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”); and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
 
1. Assignment and Assumption.
 
(a) The Assignor hereby assigns to the Assignee, as of the date hereof, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the GSMC Assignment Agreement (including without limitation the rights of GSMC under the Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement, to the extent assigned to the Assignor under the GSMC Assignment Agreement) from and after the date hereof, and the Assignee hereby assumes all of the Assignor’s obligations under the Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement, to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans from and after April 30, 2007, and the Servicer hereby acknowledges such assignment and assumption and hereby agrees to the release of the Assignor from any obligations under the Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement from and after April 30, 2007, to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans.
 

 
(b)  The Assignor represents and warrants to the Assignee that the Assignor has not taken any action which would serve to impair or encumber the Assignor’s ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans since the respective dates of the Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement.
 
(c)  The Servicer and the Assignor shall have the right to amend, modify or terminate the Servicing Agreement or the Sale Agreement without the joinder of the Assignee with respect to mortgage loans not conveyed to the Assignee hereunder, provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not affect or be binding on the Assignee.

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.
 
(b) 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 and that the Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Assignee as the owner of the Mortgage Loans, shall have the same rights 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 Assignee. Such rights that Master Servicer may enforce on behalf of the Assignee will include, without limitation, the right to terminate the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement upon the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, the right to receive all remittances required to be made by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the right to receive all monthly reports and other data required to be delivered by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and the right to exercise certain rights of consent and approval relating to actions taken by the Servicer.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective mortgage loan documents to the Assignee or its designee and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its assigns notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Assignor or the Assignee and its assigns of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Assignment Agreement, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days from the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in Section 6 to repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available to the Assignee and its assigns on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 5.
 
It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 5, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.
 
6. Repurchase of Mortgage Loans. (a) To the extent that GreenPoint is required under the Sale Agreement or any related agreement to which GreenPoint and Assignor are parties to repurchase any Mortgage Loan on account of an Early Payment Default, the Assignee shall be entitled as a result of the assignments hereunder to enforce such obligation directly against GreenPoint as required by and in accordance with the Sale Agreement or such related agreement, as applicable. For purposes of this Section, “Early Payment Default” shall mean any provision of the Sale Agreement or any related agreement to which GreenPoint and Assignor are parties that is designated as an “early payment default” provision of otherwise provides for the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan in the event of a default in the first (of such other number as may be specified in such provision) scheduled payment due under such Mortgage Loan after the closing or other date specified in such agreement.
 
(b) Upon discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Assignment Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects within sixty (60) days from the date on which it is notified of the breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor’s obligation hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee at the Repurchase Price as defined in the Sale Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect as defined in the Sale Agreement, such cure or repurchase must take place within sixty (60) days of discovery of such Qualification Defect.
 
6

 
In the event the Servicer has breached a representation or warranty under the Sale Agreement that is substantially identical to, or covers the same matters as, a representation or warranty breached by the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee shall first proceed against the Servicer. If the Servicer does not within ninety (90) days after notification of the breach, take steps to cure such breach (which may include certifying to progress made and requesting an extension of the time to cure such breach, as permitted under the Sale Agreement) or purchase the Mortgage Loan, the Assignee shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of the Assignor hereunder to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust. In such event, the Assignor shall succeed to the rights of the Assignee to enforce the obligations of the Servicer to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Sale Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Assignor, the applicable custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Assignor or its designee the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall assign to the Assignor all of the Assignee’s rights under the Sale Agreement, but only insofar as the Sale Agreement relates to such Mortgage Loan.
 
Except as specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have no responsibility to enforce any provision of this Assignment Agreement, to oversee compliance hereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.
 
7. Termination; Optional Clean-Up Call.

In the event that a Person specified in Section 11.01 of the Trust Agreement chooses to exercise its option set forth therein to purchase the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties or to conduct an Auction Call for such property of the Trust Fund, as the case may be, by no later than the 10th day of the month of the final distribution, such Person shall notify the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of the final Distribution Date and of the applicable purchase or sale price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties determined and in the manner as provided in the Trust Agreement.
 
In the event the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties are purchased or sold pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Trust Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Securities Administrator the applicable Termination Price on the Remittance Date immediately preceding the applicable final Distribution Date. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Securities Administrator and the Custodians of a Request for Release therefor, the Master Servicer shall direct the Custodians to release to the Master Servicer or its designee the Custodial Files for the Mortgage Loans.
