  EXHIBIT 10.2 ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT, dated as of March 9, 2006 between Residential Funding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("RFC") and Residential Asset Mortgage Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Recitals A. RFC has entered into seller contracts ("Seller Contracts") with the seller/servicers. B. The Company wishes to purchase from RFC certain Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter defined) originated pursuant to the Seller Contracts other than the Arrearages (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect thereto. C. The Company, RFC, as master servicer, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), are entering into a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of March 1, 2006 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), pursuant to which the Trust proposes to issue Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, RAAC Series 2006-SP1 (the "Certificates") consisting of classes of senior certificates designated as Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 (collectively, the "Senior Certificates") and subordinate certificates designated as Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 Certificates (collectively, the "Class M Certificates"), Class R-I Certificates, Class R-II Certificates and Class SB Certificates representing beneficial ownership interests in a trust fund consisting primarily of a pool of mortgage loans identified in Exhibits F-1 and F-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Mortgage Loans"). D. In connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans, the Company will assign to or at the direction of RFC the Class R-I, Class R-II and Class SB Certificates (collectively, the "Retained 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 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. 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 the Assignment & Assumption Agreement RAAC Series 2006-SP 1  Cut-off Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans in February 2006). In consideration of such assignment, RFC will receive from the Company, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to $275,152,410 and 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. 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 also be deemed to 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 a grant by RFC to the Company of a security interest in all of RFC's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage Loans, including with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and (C) 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 and other property of whatever kind or description now existing or hereafter acquired consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and 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, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party", or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by him, 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, Section 9-305, 8-313 or 8-321 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, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of 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 deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed 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 no less Assignment & Assumption Agreement RAAC Series 2006-SP 1  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. 3. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company hereby assigns to or at the direction of RFC without recourse all of its right, title and interest in and to the Retained Certificates as part of the consideration payable to RFC by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. 4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, RFC shall not be required to cure breaches, Repurchase Events or purchase or substitute for Mortgage Loans as provided above if the substance of such breach or Repurchase Event also constitutes fraud in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. 5.
