Management is responsible for NCHLS' compliance with the specified minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertions about NCHLS' compliance based on our examination. Our examination was made in accordance with attestation standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about NCHLS' compliance with the specified minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
