INFORMATION).

Based  on the  standards  set  forth  in  Item  1115(b)  of  Regulation  AB,  no
information is required in response to this Item.

ITEM 1117 OF REGULATION AB: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

There are no material pending legal or other proceedings  involving the mortgage
loans or Residential Funding Company,  LLC ("Residential  Funding"),  as sponsor
and master servicer,  Residential  Asset Securities  Corporation,  as depositor,
RASC Series 2006-KS3 Trust, as the issuing entity,  Homecomings  Financial,  LLC
("Homecomings"),  as  subservicer,  or other  parties  described in Item 1117 of
Regulation  AB that,  individually  or in the  aggregate,  would have a material
adverse impact on investors in the securities (the  "Securities")  to which this
report relates.


<PAGE>


Residential  Funding and  Homecomings  are  currently  parties to various  legal
proceedings  arising  from  time  to  time  in  the  ordinary  course  of  their
businesses,  some of which  purport to be class  actions.  Based on  information
currently  available,  it is the opinion of Residential  Funding and Homecomings
that  the  eventual   outcome  of  any  currently   pending  legal   proceeding,
individually  or in the  aggregate,  will not have a material  adverse effect on
their ability to perform their obligations in relation to the mortgage loans. No
assurance,  however,  can be  given  that  the  final  outcome  of  these  legal
proceedings, if unfavorable,  either individually or in the aggregate, would not
have a material adverse impact on Residential  Funding or Homecomings.  Any such
unfavorable outcome could adversely affect the ability of Residential Funding or
Homecomings  to perform its servicing  duties with respect to the mortgage loans
and potentially  lead to the  replacement of Residential  Funding or Homecomings
with a successor servicer.

SUBSTITUTE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERAL INSTRUCTION J TO FORM

ITEM 1119 OF REGULATION AB:  AFFILIATIONS AND CERTAIN  RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS.

Information  contemplated  by Item 1119 of  Regulation  AB has been omitted from
this report in reliance on the Instruction to Item 1119.

ITEM 1122 OF REGULATION AB: COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SERVICING CRITERIA.

Each of Residential Funding Company, LLC, Homecomings Financial,  LLC, U.S. Bank
National  Association  and Wells  Fargo  Bank,  National  Association  (each,  a
"Servicing  Participant")  has  been  identified  by the  registrant  as a party
participating in the servicing  function with respect to the pool assets held by
the Issuing  Entity.  Each  Servicing  Participant  has completed a report on an
assessment  of  compliance  with  the  servicing  criteria  applicable  to  such
Servicing  Participant  (each, a "Report on Assessment") as of December 31, 2006
and for the period  covered by this Form 10-K,  which Reports on Assessment  are
attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. In addition,  each Servicing Participant
has  provided  an  attestation  report  (each,  an  "Attestation  Report")  by a
registered  independent  public  accounting firm regarding its related Report on
Assessment. Each Attestation Report is attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.

A Servicing  Participant may engage one or more vendors to perform  specific and
limited,  or scripted  activities  that  address all or a portion of one or more
servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant. In these cases, the
Servicing  Participant has instituted policies and procedures to monitor whether
such vendors'  activities  comply in all material  respects with such  servicing
criteria, and may elect to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the
servicing  criteria  applicable  to such vendors'  activities in such  Servicing
Participant's Report on Assessment.

Except as disclosed below, no Report on Assessment or related Attestation Report
has identified  (i) any material  instance of  noncompliance  with the servicing
criteria  identified  in such Report on  Assessment as applicable to the related
Servicing  Participant  or  (ii)  any  material  deficiency  in  such  Servicing
Participant's policies and procedures to monitor vendor compliance.

Exceptions:

Residential  Funding  Company,   LLC:  The  Report  on  Assessment  prepared  by
Residential  Funding  Company,  LLC  and the  related  Attestation  Report  have
identified material noncompliance with one servicing criterion applicable to it.
Specifically,   with  regard  to  servicing  criterion  1122(d)(3)(i)(B)  (which
contemplates  that  reports  to  investors  provide  information  calculated  in
accordance with the terms specified in the transaction agreements),  information
required  by the  transaction  agreements  was  excluded  from,  or  incorrectly
reported in, certain of the investor  reports.  The registrant  does not believe
these  reporting  errors had any material  impacts or effects on  investors  and
corrective action was completed to address ongoing compliance.


<PAGE>


Platform-Level Reports:

Regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC") require that
each  Servicing  Participant  complete a Report on  Assessment  at a  "platform"
level,  meaning that the transactions covered by the Report on Assessment should
include  all  asset-backed  securities  transactions  involving  such  Servicing
Participant  that are backed by the same asset type.  More recent  guidance from
the SEC staff identifies additional parameters which a Servicing Participant may
apply to define  and  further  limit its  platform.  For  example,  a  Servicing
Participant  may define its  platform  to include  only  transactions  that were
completed  on or after  January  1, 2006 and that were  registered  with the SEC
pursuant  to  the  Securities  Act  of  1933.  Each  Servicing   Participant  is
responsible  for defining its own platform,  and each  platform  will  naturally
differ based on various factors,  including the Servicing Participant's business
model and the transactions in which it is involved.

Based on our understanding of their platforms and the guidance that is available
at this time, we believe that the parameters by which the Servicing Participants
have defined their platforms should be permissible.  However,  because the SEC's
regulations  are new and the guidance  that is available at this time is subject
to clarification or change, we cannot assure you that the SEC and its staff will
necessarily agree.

ITEM 1123 OF REGULATION AB: SERVICER COMPLIANCE STATEMENT.

Each of Residential Funding Company, LLC and Homecomings Financial, LLC (each, a
"Servicer")  has been identified by the registrant as a servicer with respect to
the pool  assets  held by the  Issuing  Entity.  Each  Servicer  has  provided a
statement of  compliance  with its  obligations  under the  servicing  agreement
applicable to such Servicer (a "Compliance Statement") for the period covered by
this Form 10-K,  in each case  signed by an  authorized  officer of the  related
servicer. Each Compliance Statement is attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.
None of the Compliance  Statements has identified any instance where the related
Servicer has failed to fulfill its  obligations  under the applicable  servicing
agreement in any material respects.
