Mortgage Loan sold by it to the Purchaser.
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title
and interest to the property conveyed to it pursuant to this Section 2.1.
(g) The parties hereto intend that the transactions set forth herein
constitute a sale by the Sellers to the Purchaser of each of the Sellers'
right, title and interest in and to their respective Initial Mortgage Loans
and other property as and to the extent described above. In the event the
transactions set forth herein are deemed not to be a sale, each Seller hereby
grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of such Seller's right,
title and interest in, to and under all accounts, chattel papers, general
intangibles, contract rights, payment intangibles, certificates of deposit,
deposit accounts, instruments, documents, letters of credit, money, advices
of credit, investment property, goods and other property consisting of,
arising under or related to the Initial Mortgage Loans and such other
property, to secure all of such Seller's obligations hereunder, and this
Agreement shall and hereby does constitute a security agreement under
applicable law. Each Seller agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions
and to execute such documents, including the filing of any continuation
statements with respect to the UCC-1 financing statements filed with respect
to the Initial Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and any
amendments thereto required to reflect a change in the name or corporate
structure of such Seller or the filing of any additional UCC-1 financing
statements due to the change in the principal office or jurisdiction of
incorporation of such Seller, as are necessary to perfect and protect the
Purchaser's and its assignees' interests in each Initial Mortgage Loan and
the proceeds thereof. The Servicer shall file any such continuation
statements on a timely basis.
(h) In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on
the MERS(R)System, GMACM further agrees that it will cause, at GMACM's own
expense, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the MERS(R)System to
indicate that such Mortgage Loan has been assigned by GMACM to the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with this Agreement or the Trust Agreement for the
benefit of the Noteholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage
Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such
computer files (a) the specific code which identifies the Indenture Trustee
as the assignee of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the series specific code in the

in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.2 Sale of Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) below
(the satisfaction of which (other than the conditions specified in paragraphs
(b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iii)) shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate
of GMACM dated the date of the related Subsequent Transfer Date), in
consideration of the Issuer's payment of the purchase price provided for in
Section 2.3 on one or more Subsequent Transfer Dates using amounts on deposit
in the Pre-Funding Account), each Seller may, on the related Subsequent
Transfer Date, sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey without recourse

Subsequent Mortgage Loan reserves and retains all right, title and interest
in and to principal received and interest accruing on such Subsequent
Mortgage Loan prior to the related Subsequent Cut-Off Date. Any transfer to
the Issuer by a Seller of Subsequent Mortgage Loans shall be absolute, and is
intended by the Issuer and such Seller to constitute and to be treated as a
sale of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans by such Seller to the Issuer. In the
event that any such transaction is deemed not to be a sale, GMACM and
WG Trust 2003, as the case may be, hereby grant to the Issuer as of each
Subsequent Transfer Date a security interest in all of such Seller's right,
title and interest in, to and under all accounts, chattel papers, general
intangibles, payment intangibles, contract rights, certificates of deposit,
deposit accounts, instruments, documents, letters of credit, money, advices
of credit, investment property, goods and other property consisting of,
arising under or related to the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans and such
other property, to secure all of such Seller's obligations hereunder, and
this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
Each Seller agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions and to execute
such documents, including the filing of all necessary UCC-1 financing
statements filed in the State of Delaware and the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (which shall be submitted for filing as of the related
Subsequent Transfer Date), any continuation statements with respect thereto
and any amendments thereto required to reflect a change in the name or
corporate structure of such Seller or the filing of any additional UCC-1
financing statements due to the change in the principal office or
jurisdiction of incorporation of such Seller, as are necessary to perfect and
protect the interests of the Issuer and its assignees in each Subsequent
Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof. The Servicer shall file any such
continuation statements on a timely basis.
The Issuer on each Subsequent Transfer Date shall acknowledge its
acceptance of all right, title and interest to the related Subsequent
Mortgage Loans and other property, existing on the Subsequent Transfer Date
and thereafter created, conveyed to it pursuant to this Section 2.2.
The Issuer shall be entitled to all scheduled principal payments due on
and after each Subsequent Cut-Off Date, all other payments of principal due
and collected on and after each Subsequent Cut-Off Date, and all payments of
interest on any related Subsequent Mortgage Loans, minus that portion of any
such interest payment that is allocable to the period prior to the related
Subsequent Cut-Off Date.

Loan Group and the other property and rights related thereto described in

of Section 860G of the Internal Revenue Code, within 90 days after the
discovery thereof by either such Seller, the Servicer, the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Purchaser either cure such breach or
Repurchase Event in all material respects or either (i) repurchase such
Mortgage Loan from the Issuer at the Repurchase Price, or (ii) substitute one
or more Eligible Substitute Loans for such Mortgage Loan, in each case in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth below, provided that a Seller
shall have the option to substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans for such Mortgage Loan only if such substitution occurs within two
years following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood by the parties hereto that a breach of the representations and
warranties made in any of clauses (x), (xii), (xxxiii), (xxxiv), (xxxv) and
(xxxviii) through (xlvi) of this Section 3.1(b) with respect to any Group I
Loan will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Holders of the Class I-A-1 Notes. The Repurchase Price for any such Mortgage
Loan repurchased by such Seller or GMACM shall be deposited or caused to be
deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial Account. Any purchase of a
Mortgage Loan due to a Repurchase Event shall be the obligation of GMACM.
In furtherance of the foregoing, if GMACM or the Seller that
repurchases or substitutes a Mortgage Loan is not a member of MERS and the
Mortgage is registered on the MERS(R)System, GMACM, at its own expense and
without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver
an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage
from MERS to GMACM or the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS(R)System in accordance with MERS' rules and
regulations.
In the event that any Seller elects to substitute an Eligible
Substitute Loan or Loans for a Deleted Loan pursuant to this Section 3.1,
such Seller shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Issuer, with
respect to such Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage
Note, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required under the definition of
"Mortgage File" and shall deliver the other documents required to be part of
the Mortgage File to the Servicer. No substitution will be made in any
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments
due with respect to Eligible Substitute Loans in the month of substitution
shall not be part of the Trust Estate and will be retained by the Servicer
and remitted by the Servicer to such Seller on the next succeeding Payment
Date, provided that a payment at least equal to the applicable Monthly
Payment for such month in respect of the Deleted Loan has been received by
the Issuer. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Note Payment
Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement will include the Monthly Payment
due on a Deleted Loan for such month and thereafter such Seller shall be
entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The
Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan and the substitution of the Eligible
Substitute Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage
Loan Schedule to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer.
Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans shall be
subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in all
respects, GMACM shall be deemed to have made the representations and
warranties with respect to the Eligible Substitute Loan contained herein set
forth in Section 3.1(b) (other than clauses (viii) (xiii), (xxiv), (xxv)(B),
(xxvi) and (xxvii) thereof and other than clauses (iii) and (ix) thereof in
the case of Eligible Substitute Loans substituted by WG Trust 2003); if the
Seller is WG Trust 2003, WG Trust 2003 shall be deemed to have made the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(d)(II); in each case,
as of the date of substitution, and the related Seller shall be deemed to
have made a representation and warranty that each Mortgage Loan so
substituted is an Eligible Substitute Loan as of the date of substitution.
In addition, GMACM shall be obligated to repurchase or substitute for any
Eligible Substitute Loan as to which a Repurchase Event has occurred as
provided herein. In connection with the substitution of one or more Eligible
Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Servicer shall determine
the amount (such amount, a "Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by
which the aggregate principal balance of all such Eligible Substitute Loans
as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate principal balance
of all such Deleted Loans (after application of the principal portion of the
Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that are to be distributed
to the Note Payment Account in the month of substitution). Such Seller shall
deposit the amount of such shortfall into the Custodial Account on the date
of substitution, without any reimbursement therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Mortgage Loan for
which a breach of Section 3.1(b)(xv) has occurred, no substitutions will be
allowed unless GMACM or WG Trust pays to the Servicer, an amount sufficient
to indemnify the Trust Fund, Purchaser, Issuer, Enhancer and Indenture
Trustee against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other
costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion
based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of such representation.
Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the
Custodian of written notification, signed by a Servicing Officer, of the
deposit of such Repurchase Price or of such substitution of an Eligible
Substitute Loan (together with the complete related Mortgage File) and
deposit of any applicable Substitution Adjustment Amount as provided above,
the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall (i) release to such
Seller or GMACM, as the case may be, the related Mortgage Note for the
Mortgage Loan being repurchased or substituted for, (ii) cause the Servicer
to release to such Seller any remaining documents in the related Mortgage
File which are held by the Servicer, and (iii) the Indenture Trustee on
behalf of the Issuer shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in such Seller or GMACM, as the case may be, or
its respective designee such Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and
thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be an asset of the Issuer.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of each Seller and
GMACM to cure any breach, or to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage
Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing, shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Purchaser,
the Issuer, the Certificateholders (or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders) and the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf
of the Noteholders) against such Seller and GMACM.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 3.1 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Notes to the Issuer or the Custodian.
ARTICLE IV
SELLERS' COVENANTS
Section 4.1 Covenants of the Sellers. Each Seller hereby covenants that,
except for the transfer hereunder and as of any Subsequent Transfer Date, it
will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur or assume any Lien on any Mortgage Loan, or any interest
therein. Each Seller shall notify the Issuer (in the case of the Initial
Mortgage Loans, as assignee of the Purchaser), of the existence of any Lien
(other than as provided above) on any Mortgage Loan immediately upon
discovery thereof; and each Seller shall defend the right, title and interest
of the Issuer (in the case of the Initial Mortgage Loans, as assignee of the
Purchaser) in, to and under the Mortgage Loans against all claims of third
parties claiming through or under such Seller; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to apply to any Liens for
municipal or other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes
or governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if any
Seller shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by
appropriate Proceedings.
ARTICLE V
SERVICING
Section 5.1 Servicing. GMACM shall service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and the Program Guide and
shall service the Mortgage Loans directly or through one or more
sub-servicers in accordance therewith.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE SELLERS
Section 6.1 Limitation on Liability of the Sellers. None of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of GMACM or WG Trust 2003 shall be under any
liability to the Purchaser or the Issuer, it being expressly understood that
all such liability is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as
consideration for, the execution of this Agreement and any Subsequent
Transfer Agreement. Except as and to the extent expressly provided in the
Servicing Agreement, GMACM and WG Trust 2003 shall not be under any liability
to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the
Securityholders. GMACM or WG Trust 2003 and any director, officer, employee
or agent of GMACM or WG Trust 2003 may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder.

Section 8.4 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be held invalid for
any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms
shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,

Section 8.5 Relationship of Parties. Nothing herein contained shall be

Section 8.7 Further Agreements. The parties hereto each agree to execute and
deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments or agreements as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
Section 8.8 Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that the Purchaser will be purchasing on the Closing Date, and the
Sellers will be selling on the Closing Date, the Initial Mortgage Loans,
rather than the Purchaser providing a loan to the Sellers secured by the
Initial Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date; and that the Issuer will be
purchasing on each Subsequent Transfer Date, and the Sellers will be selling
on each Subsequent Transfer Date, the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans,
rather than the Issuer providing a loan to the Sellers secured by the related
Subsequent Mortgage Loans on each Subsequent Transfer Date. Accordingly, the
parties hereto each intend to treat this transaction for federal income tax
purposes as (i) a sale by the Sellers, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of
the Initial Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date and (ii) a sale by the
Sellers, and a purchase by the Issuer, of the related Subsequent Mortgage
Loans on each Subsequent Transfer Date. The Purchaser and the Issuer shall
each have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the Related Documents to
determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the
federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans, and each Seller
shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser or the
Issuer in the course of such review.
Section 8.9 Successors and Assigns; Assignment of this Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors
and assigns. The obligations of each Seller under this Agreement cannot be
assigned or delegated to a third party without the consent of the Enhancer
and the Purchaser (and the Issuer with respect to the transfer of any
Subsequent Mortgage Loans), which consent shall be at the Purchaser's sole
discretion (and the Issuer's sole discretion with respect to the transfer of
any Subsequent Mortgage Loans); provided, that each Seller may assign its
obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of such Seller, to any Person
succeeding to the business of such Seller, to any Person into which such
Seller is merged and to any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which such Seller is a party. The parties hereto
acknowledge that (i) the Purchaser is acquiring the Initial Mortgage Loans
for the purpose of contributing them to the GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust
2006-HE5 and (ii) the Issuer is acquiring the Subsequent Mortgage Loans for
the purpose of pledging the Subsequent Mortgage Loans to the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Enhancer.
(b) As an inducement to the Purchaser and the Issuer to purchase the
Initial Mortgage Loans and to the Issuer to purchase any Subsequent Mortgage
Loans, each Seller acknowledges and consents to (i) the assignment by the
Purchaser to the Issuer of all of the Purchaser's rights against any Seller
pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to the Initial
Mortgage Loans transferred to the Issuer and to the enforcement or exercise
of any right or remedy against any of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement
by the Issuer, (ii) the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy
against any of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of the
Issuer and (iii) the Issuer's pledge of its interest in this Agreement to the
Indenture Trustee and the enforcement by the Indenture Trustee of any such
right or remedy against any Seller following an Event of Default under the
Indenture. Such enforcement of a right or remedy by the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Enhancer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, shall have the
same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or
exercised by the Purchaser or the Issuer directly.
Section 8.10 Survival. The representations and warranties made herein
by each Seller and the provisions of Article VI hereof shall survive the
purchase of the Initial Mortgage Loans hereunder and any transfer of
Subsequent Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and the related
Subsequent Transfer Agreement.
Section 8.11 Third Party Beneficiary. The Enhancer shall be a third
party beneficiary hereof and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of
this Agreement as if a party hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their names to be
signed to this Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices
for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable
