New Century Financial Corporation
DOL Investigation. On August 2, 2004, the U.S. Department of Labor,
Wage and Hour Division, or DOL, informed New Century Mortgage
Corporation ("New Century Mortgage"), an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of New Century Financial Corporation (the "Company"),
that it is conducting an investigation to determine whether New
Century Mortgage is in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act,
or FLSA. The DOL narrowed the scope of its investigation to
overtime compensation paid to retail loan officers in an Irvine,
California operation. New Century Mortgage believes it is in
compliance with the FLSA and that it properly pays overtime wages.
In April 2005, New Century Mortgage provided requested documents
and awaits a response from the DOL.
Rubio. In March 2005, Daniel J. Rubio, a former retail loan officer
of New Century Mortgage, filed a class action complaint against
New Century Mortgage in the Superior Court of Orange County,
California. The complaint alleges failure to pay overtime wages,
failure to provide meal and rest periods, and that New Century
Mortgage engaged in unfair business practices in violation of the
California Labor Code. The complaint seeks recovery of unpaid wages,
interest, and attorneys' fees and costs. New Century Mortgage filed
a motion to strike and demurrer to the complaint in May 2005. On
July 8, 2005, the court overruled the demurrer and granted the
motion to strike. A First Amended Complaint was filed in July 2005
and New Century Mortgage filed its answer in August 2005. In
December 2005, New Century Mortgage filed a motion to strike
portions of the complaint, which was granted in New Century
Mortgage's favor, limiting the statute of limitations for
plaintiff's meal and rest period claims to one year. The court
reconsidered and reversed its ruling in May 2006. A Second Amended
Complaint was filed by plaintiff, adding a cause of action for
failure to pay overtime in violation of the FLSA. In July 2006,
mediation occurred, followed by New Century Mortgage's removal of
the case to the United States District Court, Central District of
California in August 2006. In September 2006, the court granted
New Century Mortgage's motion to strike, limiting the statute of
limitations for plaintiff's meal and rest period claims to one
year. Plaintiff's Third Amended Complaint was filed in October 2006.
In December 2006, the Court granted New Century Mortgage's motion
to strike the punitive damages allegations from the plaintiff's
Third Amended Complaint and denied New Century Mortgage's motion
to dismiss the sixth cause of action for alleged wage statement
violations. In December 2006, the parties stipulated to plaintiff
filing a Fourth Amended Complaint adding plaintiffs John Hicks
and David Vizcarra.
Bonner. In April 2005, Perrie Bonner and Darrell Bruce filed a
class action lawsuit against New Century Mortgage and Home123
Corporation, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
("Home123") in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of
Indiana, Hammond Division, alleging violations of the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, or FCRA, claiming that New Century Mortgage and
Home123 accessed consumer credit reports without authorization
because the prescreened offers of credit did not qualify as firm
offers of credit. New Century Mortgage and Home 123 filed their
answer to the complaint on June 30, 2005. In September 2005,
plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification and on November
1, 2005, New Century Mortgage and Home123 filed a motion for
judgment on the pleadings. The court never ruled on the motion for
judgment on the pleadings. In August 2006, the court granted
plaintiffs' motion for class certification. The class size is
limited to the Northern District of Indiana. On December 13, 2006,
the court heard oral argument in Indiana on the parties' summary
judgment motions. On March 9, 2007, the court ruled on the motion
for summary judgment that defendants' solicitation did not
constitute a "firm offer of credit", and ruled that plaintiff
Bonner's claim that the disclosure was not "clear and conspicuous"
was moot. On March 12, 2007, this action settled on a class-wide
basis (Northern District of Indiana). On March 16, 2007, the
parties moved for preliminary approval of the settlement. The court
has not yet ruled on the motion.
Phillips. In July 2005, Pamela Phillips filed a class action
lawsuit against the Company, New Century Mortgage and Home123 in
the District Court, Central District of California. Plaintiff
alleges violations of FCRA, claiming that the Company, New Century
Mortgage and Home123 accessed consumer credit reports without
authorization because the prescreened offers of credit did not
qualify as firm offers of credit. The case also alleges that
certain disclosures were not made in a clear and conspicuous manner.
The complaint seeks damages of not more than $1,000 for each
alleged violation, declaratory relief, injunctive relief, attorneys'
fees and costs. The Company, New Century Mortgage and Home123 filed
a motion to dismiss certain claims in October 2005. In November
2005, the court granted the motion to dismiss, in part. In early
March 2006, the court, on its own motion, reversed its prior ruling
on the motion to dismiss citing the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals
recent decision in the Murray v. GMAC Mortgage Corporation case. On
November 14, 2006, plaintiff filed a Motion for Class Certification
proposing that the class be limited to all individuals throughout
Harris County, Texas whose consumer reports were obtained or used
by New Century Mortgage or Home123 in connection with a credit
transaction not initiated by them and who received the same written
solicitation to entered into a credit transaction received by
plaintiff. In late December 2006, plaintiff filed a Third Amended
Complaint to limit the class size to Harris County, Texas. On
January 22, 2007, the Company, New Century Mortgage and Home123
filed their Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Class
Certification. On January 31, 2007, the Company, New Century
Mortgage and Home123 filed a Motion to Stay. On February 22, 2007,
the court denied the Motion to Stay. On March 11, 2007, this action
settled. The parties agreed to dismissal with prejudice of
individual claims and dismissal without prejudice of claims of
putative class members.
Jeppesen. In October 2005, Patricia and Stephen Jeppesen filed a
class action lawsuit against New Century Mortgage in the U.S.
District Court, Northern District of Indiana. Plaintiffs allege
that New Century Mortgage violated the Indiana High Cost Loan Act
by allegedly making loans with fees greater than permitted by law
unless certain disclosures are made. The class is defined as all
persons who obtained a mortgage loan from New Century Mortgage
after January 1, 2005 on their principal residence in Indiana. A
second claim in the complaint alleges that New Century Mortgage
improperly charged a document preparation fee. On January 12, 2007,
the Office of the Attorney General, State of Indiana, issued a
no-action letter and, in response to a letter dated September 19,
2005 from plaintiff's counsel about alleged violations of the
Indiana Home Loan Practices Statute, concluded its inquiry and
declined to take any action against New Century Mortgage. In
February 2007, the parties reached a settlement on an individual
basis. On February 14, 2007, the court entered an order dismissing
this case and approving the Stipulation of Dismissal.
Forrest. In January 2006, Mary Forrest filed a class action lawsuit
against New Century Mortgage in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Division. Plaintiff alleges
violations of FCRA, claiming that New Century Mortgage accessed
prescreened credit reports without authorization because the offers
of credit allegedly did not qualify as firm offers of credit. The
proposed class consists of persons with Wisconsin addresses to whom
New Century Mortgage sent a particular prescreened offer of credit
after November 20, 2004. In February 2006, New Century Mortgage
filed both its answer and a motion to transfer the case to the
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. In June
2006, the court granted New Century Mortgage's motion to transfer
and ordered the case transferred from the U.S. District Court in
Wisconsin to the U.S. District Court, Central District of California.
In July 2006, New Century Mortgage filed a Notice of Related Case to
consolidate this matter with the Phillips class action. On March 11,
2007, this action settled. On March 20, 2007, a stipulation for
dismissal of individual claims dismissed with prejudice and claims
of putative class members dismissed without prejudice was filed with
the court.
Securities Class Action Litigation
On February 8, 2007, Avi Gold filed a securities class action
complaint in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California against the Company and certain of its
directors and officers (the "Original Complaint"). The Original
Complaint alleges that defendants violated federal securities laws
by issuing false and misleading statements and failing to disclose
material facts about the Company, which resulted in artificially
inflated market prices of the Company's common stock. The purported
class period is between April 7, 2006 and February 7, 2007. The
Original Complaint seeks money damages in favor of its purported
class of purchasers of the Company's securities, the costs and
expenses of the action and other relief that may be granted by the
court.
The Company has also learned that seventeen additional purported
class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California between February 8, 2007 and March 16,
2007. These complaints, some of which the Company has not yet been
served with and which name the Company and certain of its officers
and directors as defendants, present in large degree the same legal
and factual issues as the Original Complaint and allege various
class periods, the longest of which is from April 7, 2006 to March 2,
2007. One of these class actions has been brought on behalf of the
holders of the Company's 9.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") and the holders of the
Company's 9.75% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
("Series B Preferred Stock"). Another of these class actions has
been brought on behalf of the holders of the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock. The Company anticipates that similar actions on
behalf of holders of the Company's common stock, Series A Preferred
Stock and Series B Preferred Stock may be filed in the future and
does not undertake any obligation to update this disclosure for any
similar or related claims that may be made in this regard. The
Company intends to review the allegations in these complaints and
respond appropriately. The Company's management intends to
vigorously defend these claims; however, an unfavorable outcome in
these cases or future securities class action cases could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.
Shareholder Derivative Complaint
The Company was served with a shareholder derivative complaint on
March 1, 2007, filed in the Superior Court of California, County of
Orange. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of
control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust
enrichment, and violations of California Corporations Code 25402 and
seeks damages for breach, disgorgement, equitable relief, costs and
fees. The case is in the very preliminary stages. The Company has
also learned that five additional shareholder derivative actions
were filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange
between February 8, 2007 and March 16, 2007 and two additional
shareholder derivative actions were filed in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California during this
same time period. These complaints, some of which the Company has
not yet been served with and which name the Company and certain of
its officers and directors as defendants, present in large degree
the same legal and factual issues as the original shareholder
derivative complaint. The Company anticipates that similar actions
may be filed in the future and does not undertake any obligation to
update this disclosure for any similar or related claims that may be
made in this regard. The Company intends to review the allegations
in these complaints and respond appropriately.
U.S. Attorney's Office Investigation
On February 27, 2007, the Company received a letter from the United
States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California
(the 'U.S. Attorney's Office") indicating that it was conducting a
criminal inquiry under the federal securities laws in connection with
trading in the Company's securities, as well as accounting errors
regarding the Company's allowance for repurchase losses. The Company
has subsequently received a grand jury subpoena requesting
production of certain documents. The Company intends to cooperate
with the requests of the U.S. Attorney's Office.
SEC Investigation
On March 7, 2007, the Company received a letter from the Pacific
Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
requesting that NCFC preserve certain documents. On March 12, 2007,
the Company received a letter from the staff of the Pacific Regional
Office of the SEC stating that the staff was conducting a
preliminary investigation involving the Company and requesting
production of certain documents. The staff of the SEC had also
previously requested a meeting with the Company to discuss the
events leading up to the Company's previous announcement of the need
to restate certain of its historical financial statements. The
Company intends to cooperate with the requests of the SEC.
State Regulatory Actions
The Company has been engaged in recent ongoing discussions with its
state regulators regarding the Company's funding constraints and the
impact on consumers who are in various stages of the loan
origination process with the Company. The Company has advised these
regulators that it has ceased accepting loan applications. In
addition, the Company has advised these regulators that at this
time, the Company and its subsidiaries are unable to fund any
mortgage loans, including mortgage loans for those consumers who
were already in the loan origination process with the Company. The
Company has been and is continuing to work cooperatively with these
regulators to mitigate the impact on the affected consumers,
including transferring pending loans and loan applications to other
mortgage lenders. The Company has also been providing daily reports
to its various regulators regarding the status of loans in process
in their states, as well as responding to ad hoc information
requests.
The Company received cease and desist orders from the States of
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York on March 13,
2007 (collectively, the "March 13 Orders"). New Century Mortgage
additionally received a Suspension Order from the state of New York
on March 13, 2007 (the "NCMC Suspension Order"). The NCMC Suspension
Order suspends New Century Mortgage's mortgage banking license in
the State of New York for a period not to exceed 30 days, pending
investigation. On March 14 and 15, 2007, the Company received
additional cease and desist orders from the States of Connecticut,
Maryland, Rhode Island and Tennessee (collectively, the "March 14-15
Orders"). The March 13 Orders and the March 14-15 Orders contain
allegations that certain of the Company's subsidiaries have engaged
in violations of applicable state law, including, among others,
failure to fund mortgage loans after closing. Additionally, on March
14, 2007, New Century Mortgage and Home123 entered into a Consent
Agreement and Order with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department
of Banking, Bureau of Supervision and Enforcement (the
"Pennsylvania Consent Agreement").
The March 13 Orders, the March 14-15 Orders and the Pennsylvania
Consent Agreement restrain the Company's subsidiaries from taking
certain actions, including, among others, engaging in alleged
violations of state law and taking new applications for mortgage
loans in the relevant jurisdiction. The March 13 Orders, the March
14-15 Orders and the Pennsylvania Consent Agreement also compel the
subsidiaries to affirmatively take certain actions, including the
creation of escrow accounts to hold any up front fees collected in
connection with pending mortgage applications, the transfer to other
lenders of the outstanding mortgage applications and unfunded
mortgage loans held by the subsidiaries, and the provision of
regular information to the state regulators regarding the
subsidiaries' activities in the applicable state, including the
status of all outstanding mortgage applications and unfunded
mortgage loans in that state. The cease and desist order received
from the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation on March 14
suspends the licenses of one or more of the Company's subsidiaries
and seeks to assess administrative penalties.
The Company and its subsidiaries requested hearings on the cease and
desist orders issued by regulators in Maryland, Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Rhode Island on March 23, 2007, and in Tennessee on
March 27, 2007.
On March 14, 2007, the Attorney General of Ohio and the Ohio
Department of Commerce, Division of Financial Institution (together,
the "State") filed a lawsuit against the Company, New Century
Mortgage and Home123 (collectively, the "Defendants") on March 14,
2007 in Ohio state court (the "Ohio Complaint"). The Ohio Complaint
alleges that the Company has engaged in violations of applicable
state law, including, among others, failure to fund mortgage loans
after closing. Also on March 14, 2007, the court granted the State's
motion to enter a temporary restraining order, which was
subsequently modified by the court on March 16, 2007, against the
Defendants (as modified, the "TRO"). The TRO restrained the
Defendants from taking certain actions, including, among others,
(i) engaging in violations of state law, (ii) soliciting applicants
and taking new applications for mortgage loans in Ohio and (iii)
initiating, prosecuting or enforcing foreclosure actions in Ohio.
The TRO required the parties to confer with respect to restrictions
regarding foreclosure action and the sale, transfer or assignment of
loans more than 60 days delinquent. On March 26, 2007, the
Defendants filed a Motion for Dissolution of Modified Temporary
Restraining Order and Motion for an Emergency Hearing, and
Opposition to a Preliminary Injunction. On March 28, 2007, the
Defendants and the State reached agreement on a Stipulated
Preliminary Injunction effective for 90 days and submitted it for
court approval. The Stipulated Preliminary Injunction replaces the
TRO and provides for a stay of the litigation for 90 days. The
Stipulated Preliminary Injunction restrains the Defendants from
taking certain actions, including, among others, engaging in alleged
violations of state law and taking new applications for mortgage
loans. The Stipulated Preliminary Injunction also compels the
Defendants to take certain actions, including the transfer to other
lenders of any outstanding mortgage applications and unfunded
mortgage loans, the placement in escrow of any upfront fees
collected in connection with pending mortgage applications, and the
provision of regular information to the State regarding the
Company's activities in Ohio, including the status of all
outstanding mortgage applications and unfunded mortgage loans. The
Stipulated Preliminary Injunction also requires the Defendants to
submit certain loans (and related information) as to which it
intends to foreclose to the State for the State to review. The State
may object to the Company proceeding with a particular foreclosure
and if the Company is unable to convince the State to permit it to
proceed, the foreclosure will not proceed for the duration of the
Stipulated Preliminary Injunction. The Stipulated Preliminary
Injunction also provides for the State to review and object to the
Defendants selling, transferring or assigning certain loans that are
more than 60 days delinquent.
On March 16, 2007, the Company received additional cease and desist
orders from the State of California (the "California Orders") and
certain of the Company's subsidiaries entered into consent
agreements with the State of Florida's Office of Financial
Regulation and the State of Washington's Department of Financial
Institutions, respectively, each dated March 16, 2007 (the "March 16
Agreements" and together with the California Orders, the "March 16
Orders and Consent Agreements").
The March 16 Orders and Consent Agreements contain allegations that
certain of the Company's subsidiaries have engaged in violations of
state law, including, among others, failure to fund mortgage loans
after closing. The March 16 Orders and Consent Agreements restrain
the Company's subsidiaries from taking certain actions, including,
among others, engaging in alleged violations of state law and taking
new applications for mortgage loans in the relevant jurisdiction.
The March 16 Orders and Consent Agreements also compel the
subsidiaries to affirmatively take certain actions, including the
creation of escrow accounts to hold any upfront fees collected in
connection with pending mortgage applications, the transfer to other
lenders of the outstanding mortgage applications and unfunded
mortgage loans held by the subsidiaries, and the provision of
regular information to the state regulators regarding the
subsidiaries' activities in the applicable state, including the
status of all outstanding mortgage applications and unfunded
mortgage loans in that state.
On March 16, 2007, Home123 received a suspension order (the "Home123
Suspension Order") from the State of New York Banking Department.
The Home123 Suspension Order contains allegations similar to those
included in the NCMC Suspension Order and further provides that
Home123's mortgage banking license in the State of New York has been
suspended for a period not exceeding 30 days, pending investigation.
The Company and Home123 are reviewing the Home123 Suspension Order
and accordingly have not yet determined whether they will appeal all
or any portion of the Home123 Suspension Order.
On March 20, 2007, the Company entered into a Combined Statement of
Charges and Consent Order with the State of Iowa and a Consent
Agreement and Order with the State of Maine Office of Consumer
Credit Regulation, Department of Professional and Financial
Regulation (together, the "March 20 Orders"). On March 21, 2007,
the Company entered into a Consent Order with the State of Michigan,
Department of Labor & Economic Growth, Office of Financial and
Insurance Services and a Consent Order with the State of Wyoming
Banking Commission (the "March 21 Orders"). On March 23, 2007, the
Company entered into a Consent Agreement and Order with the State of
Idaho Department of Finance (the "March 23 Order"). Similar to the
consent agreements described above, the March 20, 21 and 23 Orders
contain allegations that certain of the Company's subsidiaries have
engaged in violations of state law, including, among others, failure
to fund mortgage loans after closing. They restrain the Company's
subsidiaries from taking certain actions, including, among others,
engaging in alleged violations of state law and taking new
applications for mortgage loans in the relevant jurisdiction. They
also compel the subsidiaries to affirmatively take certain actions,
including the creation of escrow accounts to hold any upfront fees
collected in connection with pending mortgage applications, the
transfer to other lenders of the outstanding mortgage applications
and unfunded mortgage loans held by the subsidiaries, and the
provision of regular information to the state regulators regarding
the subsidiaries' activities in the applicable state, including the
status of all outstanding mortgage applications and unfunded
mortgage loans in that state.
The Company anticipates that cease and desist orders will continue
to be received by the Company and its subsidiaries from additional
states in the future and that the Company and its subsidiaries may
enter into additional consent agreements similar to those described
above. The Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any
obligations to update this disclosure for any such additional cease
and desist orders or consent agreements or for any developments with
respect to any of the state regulatory actions described herein.
The Company intends to continue to cooperate with its regulators in
order to mitigate the impact on consumers resulting from the
Company's funding constraints.
Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions.
No applicable updates.
Item 1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.
See Item 15.
The 1122 statements for Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
(Corporate Trust Services) has disclosed material noncompliance with
criterion 1122(d)(3)(i), as applicable to the Company during the
twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Certain monthly investor or
remittance reports included errors in the calculation and/or the
reporting of delinquencies for the pool assets.
Although each servicing criterion required by Item 1122(d) of
Regulation AB is addressed in one or more of of the Assessment of
Compliance with Servicing Criteria and related Attestation Reports
included with this report, the Servicer's, Countrywide Home Loans
Servicing LLP, Assessment of Compliance and related Attestation
Report did not address each of the servicing criteria that the
Servicer was required to address under the terms of the related
Servicing Agreement. The Servicer has not identified such failure
to provide an Assessment and Attestation for these items as a
material failure to fulfill its obligations under the related
servicing agreement in the Servicer's Compliance Statement provided
under Item 1123 of Regulation AB, because the Servicer asserts that
those items are not applicable to the Servicer.

MANAGEMENT'S ASSERTION OF COMPLIANCE
Management of the Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (collectively

Securities and Exchange Commission. Management has determined that the servicing
criteria are applicable in regard to the servicing platform for the period as
follows:
Platform: Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting required
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential mortgage
- -backed securities and other asset-backed securities issued on or after
January 1, 2006 for which the Company provides trustee, securities
administration or paying agent services, excluding any publicly issued
transactions sponsored or issued by any government sponsored entity (the

(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii), 1122(d)(4)(xiii) and 1122
(d)(4)(xiv), which management has determined are not applicable to the
activities the Company performs with respect to the Platform (the "Applicable
Servicing Criteria").
Period: Twelve months ended December 31, 2006 (the "Period").
Management's interpretation of Applicable Servicing Criteria: The Company's
management has determined that servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(iii) is applicable
only with respect to its continuing obligation to act as, or locate a,
successor servicer under the circumstances referred to in certain governing
documents. It is management's interpretation that Deutsche Bank Trust Company
America has no other active back-up servicing responsibilities in regards to
1122(d)(1)(iii) as of and for the Period.
Third parties classified as vendors: With respect to servicing criteria 1122(d)
(2)(i), 1122(d)(4)(i), and 1122(d)(4)(ii), management has engaged various
vendors to perform the activities required by these servicing criteria. The
Company's management has determined that these vendors are not considered a
"servicer" as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company's
management has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the
servicing criteria applicable to each vendor as permitted by Interpretation
17.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations ("Interpretation 17.06"). As permitted by
Interpretation 17.06, management has asserted that it has policies and
procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor's
activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria
applicable to each vendor. The Company's management is solely responsible for
determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06
for the vendors and related criteria.
With respect to the Platform, the Company's management provides the following
assertion of compliance with respect to the Applicable Servicing Criteria:
1. The Company's management is responsible for assessing the Company's
compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the Period.
2.The Company's management has assessed compliance with the Applicable
Servicing Criteria, including servicing criteria for which compliance is
determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above, as of and for the
Period. In performing this assessment, management used the criteria set forth
by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB.
3. Based on such assessment, as of and for the Period, the Company has
complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

with respect to the management's assertion of compliance with the Applicable

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the

considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of
less than all of the individual asset-backed transactions and securities that
comprise the Platform, testing of less than all of the servicing activities
related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those
selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with
the servicing criteria. Furthermore,

Our procedures were not designed to determine whether errors may have occurred

this report for the selected transactions or any other transactions. 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

In our opinion, management's assessment that the Company complied with the
aforementioned servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006
is fairly stated in all material respects.

The Board of Directors
The Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas:
We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Appendix
I, that the Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank National
Trust Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (collectively the
"Company") complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation AB for publicly-issued (i.e.,
transaction-level reporting required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) residential mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed
securities issued on or after January 1, 2006, for which the Company provides
trustee, securities administration or paying agent services, excluding any
publicly issued transactions, sponsored or issued by any government sponsored
entity (the Platform), except for servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(iii),
1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(v), 1122(d)(4)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(vii), 1122(d)(4)
(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii), 1122(d)
(4)(xiii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiv ), which the Company has determined are not
applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, as of
and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Management is responsible
for the Company's compliance with those servicing criteria. 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 the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly,included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the
servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of
less than all of the individual asset-backed transactions and securities that
comprise the Platform, testing of less than all of the servicing activities
related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those
selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance
with the servicing criteria. Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the
selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during
the period covered by this report. Our procedures were not designed to
determine whether errors may have occurred either prior to or subsequent to our
tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by
the Company during the period covered by this report for the selected
transactions or any other transactions. 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 servicing criteria.
As described in management's assertion included in the accompanying Appendix I,
for servicing criteria 1122 (d)(2)(i), 1122 (d)(4)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii), the
Company has engaged various vendors to perform the activities required by these
servicing criteria. The Company has determined that these vendors are not
considered a "servicer" as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the
Company has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the
servicing criteria applicable to each vendor as permitted by Interpretation
17.06 of the SEC

Interpretations ("Interpretation 17.06"). As permitted by Interpretation 17.06,
the Company has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed
to provide reasonable assurance that the vendors' activities comply in all
material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor. The
Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC
requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendors and related criteria
as described in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to
the Company's eligibility to apply Interpretation 17.06.
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned servicing criteria, including servicing criteria 1122 (d)(2)(i),
1122 (d)(4)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii) for which compliance is determined based on
Interpretation 17.06 as described above, as of and for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
