Information required by Item 1119 of Regulation AB has been omitted from this report on Form 10-K in reliance on the Instruction to Item 1119.

Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.

Each of GMAC and the Indenture Trustee (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 during the reporting period. Each of the Servicing Participants has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant (each, a “Report on Assessment”) during the Issuing Entity’s year ended December 31, 2006, which Reports on Assessment are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. In addition, each of the Servicing Participants 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.

GMAC’s Report on Assessment and the related Attestation Report have identified two instances of material noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to GMAC. Specifically, certain changes with respect to the terms of an obligor’s pool asset were not approved by authorized personnel in accordance with GMAC’s policies and certain charge-offs on uncollectible accounts were not approved by authorized personnel in accordance with GMAC’s policies. Processes have been implemented to ensure that changes with respect to the terms of an obligor’s pool asset or charge-offs on uncollectible accounts are approved by authorized personnel in accordance with the GMAC’s policies. Except for these instances, none of the Reports on Assessment nor the related Attestation Reports identified any material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to GMAC or the Indenture Trustee.

Item 1123 of Regulation AB. Servicer Compliance Statement.

GMAC has been identified as the servicer during the reporting period with respect to the pool assets held by the Issuing Entity.
