DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas LLC,
as successor to DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC
as Servicer for DaimlerChrysler Master Owner Trust:
We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management Assertion, that DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas LLC, as successor to DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC, (the “Company”) complied with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America’sUniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) as of and for the year December 31, 2005, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement identified in the accompanying Management Assertion. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the minimum servicing standards.
In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company has complied in all material respects with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
