6. Representations and Warranties of the Assignor. The Assignor hereby represents and warrants to the Assignee as follows:

(a) Organization.

(b) Enforceability. This Assignment Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Assignor, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid, and binding agreement of the Assignor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(c) No Consent. The execution, delivery and performance by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date hereof.

(d) Authorization; No Breach. The execution and delivery of this Assignment Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Assignor; neither the execution and delivery by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement, nor the consummation by the Assignor of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by the Assignor with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of the governing documents of the Assignor or any law, governmental rule or regulation or any material judgment, decree or order binding on the Assignor or any of its properties, or any of the provisions of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which the Assignor is a party or by which it is bound.

-5-

(f) Prior Assignments; Pledges. Except for the sale to the Assignee, the Assignor has not assigned or pledged any Mortgage Note or the related Mortgage or any interest or participation therein.

(g) Releases. The Assignor has not satisfied, canceled, or subordinated in whole or in part, or rescinded any Mortgage, and the Assignor has not released the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of any Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has the Assignor executed an instrument that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination, or rescission. The Assignor has not released any Mortgagor, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement or other agreement approved by the related federal insurer, to the extent such approval was required.

(h) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, predatory and abusive lending or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loans have been complied with. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Properties and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities.

(i) HOEPA. No Mortgage Loan is classified as a “high cost” mortgage loan under Section 32 of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended, and no Mortgage Loan is considered a “high cost” mortgage loan under any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending law (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or fees). No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan,” as applicable, as such terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELSâ Glossary and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.

(j) Bring Down. With respect to the Agreements, nothing has occurred or failed to occur from and after the closing date set forth in the Underlying Assignment Agreement to February 28, 2007 that would cause any of (i) with respect to those Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the 2005 ACA, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02 of the 2005 MSWSA, (ii) with respect to those Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the 2006 ACA, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02 of the 2006 MSWSA or (iii) with respect to those Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the DLJ Purchase Agreement, the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1(i)-(vi) of such agreement, to be incorrect in any material respects as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Loan Documents to the custodian 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 8 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 6. It is further understood and agreed that the Assignor shall be deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in this Section 6(j) with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in this Section 6(j), by the Servicer in the Agreements (or any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant thereto).

-6-

It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 6, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.

7. Amendment of the Servicing Agreement. In connection with the transfer of the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer agrees that, from and after the date hereof, each Mortgage Loan transferred hereunder will be subject to, and serviced under, the Servicing Agreement, provided that, solely with respect to the Mortgage Loans transferred hereunder, the following modifications shall be made:

(a) The definition of “Principal Prepayment Period” in Article I is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Principal Prepayment Period: With respect to each Remittance Date and the Mortgage Loans (x) identified with a "Y" in the column entitled "Mid-Month" on Exhibit 1 to the Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement dated February 28, 2007 (the "AAR") among the Company, as servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, not in its individual capacity, but solely as trustee on behalf of GSR Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-1F, and GS Mortgage Securities Corp., and acknowledged by the Company, as master servicer, the period commencing on the 14th day of the month preceding the month in which such Remittance Date occurs, and ending on the 13th day of the month in which such Remittance Date occurs and (y) identified with a "N" in the column entitled "Mid-Month" on Exhibit 1 to the AAR, the period commencing on the first day of the month preceding the month in which such Remittance Date occurs, and ending on the last day of such month. 

(b) Section 6.4(ii) of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words “Purchaser and any Depositor” and “Purchaser and such Depositor” with “Master Servicer”.

(c) Section 6.6 of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words “Purchaser and any Depositor” and “Purchaser and such Depositor” with “Master Servicer”.

-7-

8. Repurchase of Mortgage Loans. 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 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 Purchase Price (as defined in the Trust Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect, such cure or repurchase must take place within 75 days of discovery of such Qualification Defect.

In the event of a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Assignor, the Assignee shall promptly deliver to the Assignor or its designee the related Custodial Mortgage File and shall assign to the Assignor all of the Assignee’s rights under the Agreements and Section S of the Trade Confirmation, but only insofar as the Agreements or Section S of the Trade Confirmation relate 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.

9. Continuing Effect. Except as contemplated hereby, the Agreements and the Trade Confirmation shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

10. Governing Law.

THIS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY.
