                ASSIGNMENT, ASSUMPTION AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT

            ASSIGNMENT, ASSUMPTION AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT made this 30th day
of October, 2006 (this "Assignment Agreement"), among IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., a
federal savings bank (the "Servicer"), Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, not
in its individual capacity, but solely as trustee ("Trustee") on behalf of GSAA
Home Equity Trust 2006-17 (the "Assignee"), and GS Mortgage Securities Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the "Assignor" or "Depositor"), and as acknowledged by
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as master servicer (in
such capacity, the "Master Servicer").

            WHEREAS, Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company ("GSMC") and the Servicer
have entered into (i) the Amended and Restated Servicing Agreement, dated as of
November 1, 2005 (the "Servicing Agreement"), and (ii) the Second Amended and
Restated Master Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2006, as
amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of June 1, 2006 (as amended,
the "Sale Agreement"), pursuant to which the Servicer sold to GSMC certain
mortgage loans listed on the mortgage loan schedule attached as an exhibit to
the Servicing Agreement;

            WHEREAS, GSMC has assigned and conveyed certain mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans"), which Mortgage Loans are subject to the provisions of the
Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement, to the Assignor pursuant to an
Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2006
(the "GSMC Assignment Agreement");

            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

            WHEREAS, pursuant to a Master Servicing and Trust Agreement, dated
as of October 1, 2006 (the "Trust Agreement"), among the Depositor, the Trustee,
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as a custodian, The Bank of New York, as a
custodian, U.S. Bank National Association, as a custodian and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator, the
Assignor will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Assignee, together with the
Assignor's rights under the Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement, to the
extent relating to the Mortgage Loans (other than the rights of the Assignor to
indemnification thereunder).

            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

<PAGE>


under the Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement, to the extent relating to
the Mortgage Loans from and after October 30, 2006, 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 October 30, 2006, 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.

            2. Accuracy of the Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement. The
Servicer and the Assignor represent and warrant to the Assignee that (i)
attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a true, accurate and complete copy of the
Servicing Agreement, (ii) attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a true, accurate and
complete copy of the Sale Agreement, (iii) each of the Servicing Agreement and
the Sale Agreement is in full force and effect as of the date hereof, (iv)
neither the Servicing Agreement nor the Sale Agreement has been amended or
modified in any respect, except as contemplated herein or pursuant to the GSMC
Assignment Agreement and (v) no notice of termination has been given to the
Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or the Sale Agreement. The Servicer, in
its capacity as seller and/or servicer under each of the Servicing Agreement and
the Sale Agreement, as applicable, further represents and warrants that the
representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1 of the Servicing
Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date (as such term is defined
in the Servicing Agreement), and the representations and warranties regarding
the Mortgage Loans contained in Section 3.02 of the Sale Agreement were true and
correct as of the Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Sale Agreement).

            3. Recognition of Assignee.

            (a) From and after the date hereof, the Servicer shall note the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Assignee in its books and records, shall
recognize the Assignee as the owner of the Mortgage Loans and, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, shall service all of the Mortgage Loans for the
benefit of the Assignee pursuant to the Servicing Agreement the terms of which
are incorporated herein by reference. 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

this Assignment Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it

limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general
equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).

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

            (a) Organization. The Assignor has been duly organized and is

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

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

            (e) Actions; Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings

<PAGE>


arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated by this Assignment Agreement or (B) with respect to any other
matter that in the judgment of the Assignor will be determined adversely to the
Assignor and will, if determined adversely to the Assignor, materially adversely
affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Assignment Agreement.

            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 IndyMac is
required under the Sale Agreement or any related agreement to which IndyMac 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 IndyMac 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 IndyMac 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
<PAGE>


            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 connection with the Trust Agreement, the Master Servicer hereby
agrees to the following obligations described below. For purposes of this
Section 7 only, any capitalized term used but not defined in this Assignment
Agreement has the same meaning assigned thereto in the Trust Agreement.

            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.

            8. Continuing Effect. Except as contemplated hereby, the Servicing
Agreement and the Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in
accordance with their respective terms.
