        This Pooling and Servicing Agreement,   effective as of November 1, 2005,

among RESIDENTIAL ASSET MORTGAGE PRODUCTS, INC., as depositor (together with its

permitted   successors   and   assigns,    the   "Depositor"),    RESIDENTIAL   FUNDING

CORPORATION,   as master   servicer   (together   with its permitted   successors and

assigns,   the "Master   Servicer"),   and   JPMORGAN   CHASE BANK,   N.A.,   a banking

association   organized under the laws of the United States, as trustee (together

with its permitted successors and assigns, the "Trustee").

 

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

 

        The   Depositor   intends   to   sell   mortgage   asset-backed    pass-through

certificates (collectively, the "Certificates"),   to be issued hereunder in nine

interest in the Mortgage   Loans (as defined   herein) and certain   other   related

assets.

 

                                     REMIC I

 

        As provided   herein,   the REMIC   Administrator   will make an election to

treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain

other   related   assets   (exclusive   of the Yield   Maintenance   Agreement and any

payments   thereunder)   subject   to   this   Agreement   as a real   estate   mortgage

investment   conduit   (a   "REMIC")   for   federal   income tax   purposes,   and such

segregated   pool of   assets   will be   designated   as   "REMIC   I." The   Class R-I

Certificates   will   represent the sole Class of "residual   interests" in REMIC I

for purposes of the REMIC   Provisions   (as defined   herein) under federal income

tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation,   remittance

rate (the "Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate") and initial Uncertificated

(1) The   Class A   Certificates   will   represent   ownership   of REMIC II   Regular

Interests   together   with   certain   rights to payments   to be made from   amounts

received   under the Yield   Maintenance   Agreement   which   will be   treated as an

interest   rate cap   contract,   the   payments   on which   will be deemed   made for

federal income tax purposes outside of REMIC II.

(2) The REMIC II Regular   Interests   ownership   of which is   represented   by the

Class A   Certificates,   will accrue   interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR

plus the   applicable   Margin,   each   subject to payment caps as described in the

definition   of   "Pass-Through   Rate" and the   provisions   for the payment of the

applicable Group I Basis Risk Shortfall   Carry-Forward Amounts or Group II Basis

Risk Shortfall   Carry-Forward Amounts herein, which payments will not be part of

the entitlement of the REMIC II Regular Interests related to such Certificates.

(3) The Class A Certificates will also entitle their holders to certain payments

from the Holder of the Class SB   Certificates   from amounts to which the related

REMIC II Regular   Interest is entitled and from amounts received under the Yield

Maintenance Agreement,   which will not be a part of their ownership of the REMIC

II Regular Interests.

(4)   The   Class   SB   Certificates   will   accrue   interest   as   described   in the

definition of Accrued Certificate   Interest.   The Class SB Certificates will not

accrue interest on their Certificate Principal Balance.

 

        The Mortgage   Loans have an aggregate   Cut-off   Date   Principal   Balance

equal to $1,200,001,404.   The Mortgage Loans are fixed-rate and adjustable-rate,

fully   amortizing,   first   lien   mortgage   loans   having   terms to   maturity   at

origination or modification of generally not more than 30 years.

 

        In   consideration   of   the   mutual   agreements   herein   contained,    the

Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

 

Section 1.01.   Definitions.

               -----------

 

        Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless

the   context   otherwise   requires,   shall have the   meanings   specified   in this

Article.

 

        Accrued Certificate Interest: With respect to each Distribution Date and

the Class A Certificates,   interest   accrued during the related Interest Accrual

Period on the Certificate   Principal   Balance thereof   immediately prior to such

Distribution Date at the related Pass-Through Rate for that Distribution Date.

 

        The amount of Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class of Certificates

shall be reduced by the amount of Prepayment   Interest Shortfalls on the related

Mortgage   Loans   during the prior   calendar   month (to the extent not covered by

Eligible   Master   Servicing   Compensation   pursuant to Section   3.16) and by the

amount of Relief Act Shortfalls on the related Mortgage Loans during the related

Due Period,   in each case to the extent   allocated to that Class of Certificates

pursuant to Section 4.02(g).   The portion of any Prepayment   Interest Shortfalls

or Relief Act Shortfalls on the Group I Loans shall be allocated among the Class

A-I Certificates, pro rata, on the basis of Accrued Certificate Interest payable

on such   Distribution   Date   absent   such   reductions,   and the   portion   of any

Prepayment   Interest   Shortfalls or Relief Act   Shortfalls on the Group II Loans

shall be allocated to the Class A-II Certificates.

 

        Accrued   Certificate   Interest for each Class on any   Distribution   Date

shall be further reduced by the interest portion of Realized Losses allocated to

any Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05.

 

         With respect to each   Distribution   Date and the Class SB   Certificates,

interest   accrued   during the preceding   Interest   Accrual Period at the related

Pass-Through   Rate for that   Distribution   Date on the   Uncertificated   Notional

Amount as specified in the definition of Pass-Through Rate, immediately prior to

such Distribution Date,   reduced by any interest   shortfalls with respect to the

related Mortgage Loans,   including   Prepayment Interest Shortfalls to the extent

not covered by Eligible Master Servicing   Compensation   pursuant to Section 3.16

or by the   Excess   Cash Flow   pursuant   to   clauses   (vii) and (viii) of Section

4.02(c).   In   addition,   Accrued   Certificate   Interest   with   respect   to   each

Distribution   Date,   as to the Class SB   Certificates,   shall be   reduced   by an

amount   equal to the   interest   portion   of   Realized   Losses   allocated   to the

Overcollateralization    Amount    pursuant   to   Section   4.05    hereof.    Accrued

Certificate   Interest on the Class A Certificates shall accrue on the basis of a

360-day   year and the   actual   number of days in the   related   Interest   Accrual

Period.   Accrued Certificate   Interest on the Class SB Certificates shall accrue

on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months.

 

         Adjusted   Mortgage Rate:   With respect to any Mortgage Loan and any date

of determination, the Mortgage Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, less the

related Subservicing Fee Rate.

 

        Adjustment   Date:   With respect to each   adjustable-rate   Mortgage Loan,

each date set forth in the related   Mortgage   Note on which an adjustment to the

interest rate on such Mortgage Loan becomes effective.

 

        Advance:   With   respect to any   Mortgage   Loan,   any advance made by the

Master Servicer, pursuant to Section 4.04.

 

        Affiliate:   With respect to any Person,   any other   Person   controlling,

controlled by or under common   control with such first Person.   For the purposes

of this   definition,   "control"   means the power to direct   the   management   and

policies of such Person,   directly or indirectly,   whether through the ownership

of voting securities,   by contract or otherwise; and the terms "controlling" and

"controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

 

        Agreement:   This   Pooling and   Servicing   Agreement   and all   amendments

hereof and supplements hereto.

 

        Amount Held for Future   Distribution:   With respect to any   Distribution

Date,   the total of the amounts   held in the   Custodial   Account at the close of

business   on the   preceding   Determination   Date on account   of (i)   Liquidation

Proceeds,   Subsequent Recoveries,   REO Proceeds,   Insurance Proceeds,   Principal

Prepayments,   Mortgage Loan purchases made pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04,

4.07 or 4.08 and Mortgage   Loan   substitutions   made pursuant to Section 2.03 or

2.04   received or made in the month of such   Distribution   Date (other than such
