StateDelaware corporation ("RFC") and Residential Funding Mortgage Securities I, Inc., a placeStateDelaware
corporation (the "Company").
Recitals
I. RFC has entered into contracts ("Seller Contracts") with various seller/servicers, pursuant to
which such seller/servicers sell to RFC mortgage loans.
II. The Company wishes to purchase from RFC certain Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter defined) sold to
RFC pursuant to the Seller Contracts.
III. The Company, RFC, as master servicer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the
"Trustee"), are entering into a Series Supplement, dated as of August 1, 2006 (the "Series Supplement"), to the
Standard Terms of Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2006 (together with the Series Supplement,
the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company proposes to issue Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2006-S7 (the "Certificates") consisting of classes designated as the Class A-1, Class A-2,
Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6, Class A-7, Class A-8, Class A-9, Class A-10, Class A-V, Class A-P,
Class R-I and Class R-II Certificates (collectively, the "Senior Certificates"), Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class
M-3 Certificates (collectively, the "Class M Certificates") and Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates
(collectively, the "Class B Certificates"), representing beneficial ownership interests in a trust fund
consisting primarily of a pool of mortgage loans identified in Exhibit One to the Series Supplement (the
"Mortgage Loans").
IV. In connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans, the Company will assign to RFC the Class
A-P Certificates, Class A-V Certificates and a de minimis portion of each of the Class R-I and Class R-II
Certificates (the "Retained Certificates").
V. In connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and the issuance of the Certificates, RFC
wishes to make certain representations and warranties to the Company and to assign certain of its rights under
the Seller Contracts to the Company, and the Company wishes to assume certain of RFC's obligations under the
Seller Contracts.
VI. 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 Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not
a loan.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and the mutual promises herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section 2. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, RFC hereby assigns to the Company
without recourse all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, including all interest and
principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after August 1, 2006 (other than payments of
principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans in August 2006). In consideration of such assignment, RFC or its
designee will receive from the Company in immediately available funds an amount equal to $463,963,112.21 plus the
Class A-P Certificates, the Class A-V Certificates and a de minimis portion of the Retained Certificates. In
connection with such assignment and at the Company's direction, RFC has in respect of each Mortgage Loan endorsed
the related Mortgage Note (other than any Destroyed Mortgage Note) to the order of the Trustee and delivered an
assignment of mortgage in recordable form to the Trustee or its agent. A "Destroyed Mortgage Note" means a
Mortgage Note the original of which was permanently lost or destroyed.
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
obligations and all of RFC's right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now existing or hereafter
acquired as owner of such Pledged Asset Loan with respect to any and all money, securities, security
entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, payment intangibles, instruments, documents, deposit accounts,
certificates of deposit, commodities contracts, and other investment property and other property of whatever kind
or description consisting of, arising from or related to, (i) the Credit Support Pledge Agreement, the Funding
and Pledge Agreement among the Mortgagor or other Person pledging the related Pledged Assets (the "Customer"),
Combined Collateral LLC and National Financial Services Corporation, and the Additional Collateral Agreement
between GMAC Mortgage Corporation and the Customer (collectively, the "Assigned Contracts"), (ii) all rights,
powers and remedies of RFC as owner of such Pledged Asset Loan under or in connection with the Assigned
Contracts, whether arising under the terms of such Assigned Contracts, by statute, at law or in equity, or
otherwise arising out of any default by the Mortgagor under or in connection with the Assigned Contracts,
including all rights to exercise any election or option or to make any decision or determination or to give or
receive any notice, consent, approval or waiver thereunder, (iii) the Pledged Amounts and all money, securities,
security entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, payment intangibles, instruments, documents, deposit
accounts, certificates of deposit, commodities contracts, and other investment property and other property of
whatever kind or description and, all cash and non-cash proceeds of the sale, exchange, or redemption of, and all
stock or conversion rights, rights to subscribe, liquidation dividends or preferences, stock dividends, rights to
interest, dividends, earnings, income, rents, issues, profits, interest payments or other distributions of cash
or other property that secures a Pledged Asset Loan, (iv) all documents, books and records concerning the
foregoing (including all computer programs, tapes, disks and related items containing any such information) and
(v) all insurance proceeds (including proceeds from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation or any other insurance company) of any of the foregoing or replacements thereof
or substitutions 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. However, in the event
that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of RFC, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to
create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, then it is intended that (a) this Agreement shall be 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 security interest in all of RFC's right, title
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to any and all general intangibles, payment
intangibles, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit,
goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to
any of the following: (A) the Mortgage Loans, including (i) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, the related
Mortgage Note, Security Agreement, Assignment of Proprietary Lease, Cooperative Stock Certificate, Cooperative
Lease, any insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage File and (ii) with respect to each
Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, any insurance policies and
all other documents in the related Mortgage File, (B) all monies due or 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 holding such property, shall
be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments receipts or confirmations from, 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 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 Mortgage Loans, and
all rights to receive servicing fees, servicing income and other payments made as compensation for such servicing
granted to it under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms and 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.
Section 3. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company hereby assigns to RFC
without recourse all of its right, title and interest in and to the Class A-P and Class A-V Certificates and a de
minimis portion of the Retained Certificates as part of the consideration payable to RFC by the Company pursuant
to this Agreement.
Section 4. RFC represents and warrants to the Company that on the date of execution hereof (or, if
otherwise specified below, as of the date so specified):
(i) The information set forth in Exhibit One to the Series Supplement with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
the Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, is true and correct, in all material respects, at the date or dates
respecting which such information is furnished;
(ii) Each mortgage loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80%, will be insured by a
primary mortgage insurance policy (a "Primary Insurance Policy") covering at least 30% of the principal balance
of the Mortgage Loan at origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 95.00% and 90.01%, at least 25% of the
balance of the mortgage loan at origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 90.00% and 85.01%, and at least
12% of the balance of the mortgage loan at origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 85.00% and 80.01%.
To the best of the Company's knowledge, each such Primary Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and the
Trustee is entitled to the benefits thereunder;
(iii) Each Primary Insurance Policy insures the named insured and its successors and assigns, and the issuer
of the Primary Insurance Policy is an insurance company whose claims-paying ability is currently acceptable to
the Rating Agencies;
(iv) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Company, RFC had good title to, and was
the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (other
than rights to servicing and related compensation and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the monthly
payment due on the first Due Date following the Cut-off Date), and no action has been taken or failed to be taken
by RFC that would materially adversely affect the enforceability of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of
any holder of the Certificates;
(v) No Mortgage Loan was 30 or more days delinquent in payment of principal and interest as of the Cut-off
Date and no Mortgage Loan has been so delinquent more than once in the 12-month period prior to the Cut-off Date;
(vi) Subject to clause (v) above as respects delinquencies, there is no default, breach, violation or event
of acceleration existing under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage and no event which, with notice and expiration of
any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of 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;
(vii) There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;
(viii) No Mortgagor has any right of offset, defense or counterclaim as to the related Mortgage Note or
Mortgage except as may be provided under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act;
(ix) None of the Mortgage Loans are Buy-Down Mortgage Loans;
(x) There are no mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any Mortgaged Property
which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except such liens that are
insured or indemnified against by a title insurance policy described under clause (xv) below;
(xi) Each Mortgaged Property is free of damage and in good repair and no notice of condemnation has been
given with respect thereto and RFC knows of nothing involving any Mortgaged Property that could reasonably be
expected to materially adversely affect the value or marketability of any Mortgaged Property;
(xii) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with all applicable local,
state and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable anti-predatory lending laws;
(xiii) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the
holder adequate to realize the benefits of the security against the Mortgaged Property, including (i) in the case
of a Mortgage that is a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, (ii) by summary foreclosure, if available under
applicable law, and (iii) otherwise by foreclosure, and there is no homestead or other exemption available to the
Mortgagor that would interfere with such right to sell at a trustee's sale or right to foreclosure, subject in
each case to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedents with respect to bankruptcy and right of
redemption;
(xiv) With respect to each Mortgage that is a deed of trust, a trustee duly qualified under applicable law to
serve as such is properly named, designated and serving, and except in connection with a trustee's sale after
default by a Mortgagor, no fees or expenses are payable by the Seller or RFC to the trustee under any Mortgage
that is a deed of trust;
(xv) A policy of title insurance in the form and amount required by the Program Guide was effective as of the

(xviii) The improvements upon the Mortgaged Properties are insured against loss by fire and other hazards as
required by the Program Guide including flood insurance if required under the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended. The Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to maintain such casualty insurance at the Mortgagor's
expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorize the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain
such insurance at the Mortgagor's expense and to seek reimbursement therefore from the Mortgagor;
(xix) If any of the Mortgage Loans are secured by a leasehold interest, with respect to each leasehold
interest: the use of leasehold estates for residential properties is an accepted practice in the area where the
related Mortgaged Property is located; residential property in such area consisting of leasehold estates is
readily marketable; the lease is recorded and no party is in any way in breach of any provision of such lease;

by RFC validly transfers such right, title and interest to the Company free and clear of any pledge, lien, or
security interest or other encumbrance of any Person;
(xxii) The full amount of the Pledged Amount with respect to such Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan has been
deposited with the custodian under the Credit Support Pledge Agreement and is on deposit in the custodial account
held thereunder as of the date hereof;
(xxiii) RFC is a member of MERS, in good standing, and current in payment of all fees and assessments imposed by
MERS, and has complied with all rules and procedures of MERS in connection with its assignment to the Trustee as

among other things, that RFC shall have confirmed the transfer to the Trustee, as assignee of the Company, of the
Mortgage on the MERS(R)System;
(xxiv) No instrument of release or waiver has been executed in connection with the Mortgage Loans, and no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part from its obligations in connection with a Mortgage Loan;
(xxv) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, either (i) the Mortgage Loan is assumable pursuant to the terms of
the Mortgage Note or (ii) the Mortgage Loan contains a customary provision for the acceleration of the payment of
the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the
prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(xxvi) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances
thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to

completion of such improvements) have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making,
closing or recording the Mortgage Loans were paid;
(xxvii) Except with respect to approximately 3.65% of the Mortgage Loans, the appraisal was made by an appraiser
who meets the minimum qualifications for appraisers as specified in the Program Guide;
(xxviii) To the best of RFC's knowledge, any escrow arrangements established with respect to any Mortgage Loan
are in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws and are in compliance with the terms of the
related Mortgage Note;
(xxix) Each Mortgage Loan was originated (1) by a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank,
credit union, insurance company or similar institution that is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority, (2) by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of HUD pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National
Housing Act, as amended or (3) by a mortgage broker or correspondent lender in a manner such that the
Certificates would qualify as "mortgage related securities" within the meaning of Section 3(a)(41) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
(xxx) All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Properties
lie wholly within the boundaries and the building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Properties, or the policy of
title insurance affirmatively insures against loss or damage by reason of any violation, variation, encroachment
or adverse circumstance that either is disclosed or would have been disclosed by an accurate survey;
(xxxi) None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994;
(xxxii) None of the Mortgage Loans are loans that, under applicable state or local law in effect at the time of
origination of the loan, are referred to as (1) "high-cost" or "covered" loans or (2) any other similar
designation if the law imposes greater restrictions or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans
with high interest rates, points and/or fees;
(xxxiii) No Mortgage Loan was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003, which is secured
by property located in the State of Georgia;
(xxxiv) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the
Appendix E of the Standard & Poor's Glossary For File Format For LEVELS(R)Version 5.7 Revised (attached hereto as
Exhibit A); provided that no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan (as
such terms are defined in Appendix E of the S&P's Glossary For File Format For LEVELS(R)in effect on the date of
substitution), unless the Company shall have received from S&P written confirmation that the inclusion of any
such Mortgage Loan will not adversely affect the then current ratings assigned to any of the Certificates by S&P;
and
(xxxv) Each mortgage loan constitutes a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(A)(1).
RFC shall provide written notice to GMAC Mortgage Corporation 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, except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, 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 set forth in clause (xii) 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.
Section 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 listed on the attached Schedule A with respect to which any document or documents
constituting a part of the Mortgage File are missing or defective in any material respect 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 or defectiveness of any such document or documents 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.
Section 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.

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.
