                  F. The  Company  and RFC  intend  that the  conveyance  by RFC to the  Company  of all its right,

                  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

mortgage or security instrument, as applicable, 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

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

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

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

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

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;

                  (hh)     No fraud or  misrepresentation  has taken place in connection  with the  origination  of
any Mortgage Loan; and

                  (ii)     RFC hereby  represents  and  warrants,  after due inquiry,  that no Mortgage  Loan has a
loan-to-value ratio that exceeds 100% on the Closing Date.

                  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,  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) or (hh) 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.

EXHIBIT A APPENDIX E OF THE STANDARD & POOR'S GLOSSARY FOR FILE FORMAT FOR LEVELS(R)VERSION 6.0 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.
