Company,  LLC, a Delaware  corporation  ("RFC"),  and Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company").
 
                                                     RECITALS
 
                  A. RFC has entered into contracts ("Seller  Contracts") with various  seller/servicers,  pursuant
to which such seller/servicers sell to RFC mortgage loans.
 
                  B. The  Company  wishes to purchase  from RFC certain  Mortgage  Loans (as  hereinafter  defined)
sold to RFC pursuant to the Seller Contracts.
 
                  C. The Company,  RFC, as master servicer,  and Deutsche Bank Trust Company  Americas,  as trustee
(the "Trustee"),  are entering into a Series  Supplement,  dated as of November 1, 2006 (the "Series  Supplement"),
and the  Standard  Terms of Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement,  dated as of November  1, 2006  (collectively,  the
"Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement"),  pursuant  to which the  Company  proposes  to issue  Mortgage  Asset-Backed
Pass-Through  Certificates,  Series 2006-QA10 (the "Certificates") consisting of eleven classes designated as Class
A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3,  Class M-1,  Class M-2,  Class M-3,  Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6,  Class R-1,  Class

primarily of a pool of mortgage loans identified in Exhibit One to the Series Supplement (the "Mortgage Loans").
 
                  D. In  connection  with the purchase of the Mortgage  Loans,  the Company will assign to RFC a de
minimis portion of the Class R-1 Certificates.
                  E. 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.
 
                  F. 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:
 
                  1. All  capitalized  terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings  assigned  thereto
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
                  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  November  1, 2006 (other than  payments of
principal  and  interest due on the  Mortgage  Loans on or before  November 29,  2006).  In  consideration  of such
assignment,  RFC or its designee will receive from the Company in  immediately  available  funds an amount equal to

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.
 
         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

whatever kind or description and all cash and non-cash  proceeds of the sale,  exchange,  or redemption of, and all

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.  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
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,  (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 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
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.
 
                  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 a de  minimis  portion  of the  Class  R-1
Certificates as part of the consideration payable to RFC by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
 
                  4. RFC  represents  and  warrants to the  Company  that on the date of  execution  hereof (or, if

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

                  (e)      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;
 
                  (f)      Subject to clause (e) 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;
 
                  (g)      There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;
 
                  (h)      No  Mortgagor  has any  right of  offset,  defense  or  counterclaim  as to the  related

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 (aa) below;
 
                  (j)      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;
 
                  (k)      Each  Mortgage  Loan at the time it was made  complied  in all  material  respects  with
applicable local, state, and federal laws,  including,  but not limited to, all applicable  anti-predatory  lending
laws;
 
                  (l)      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;

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;

loans  having  terms to  maturity  of not more than 30 years  from the date of  origination  or  modification  with
