Item 1119 of Regulation AB: Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
Pursuant to the Instructions to Item 1119 of Regulation AB, information required by Item 1119 has been omitted from this annual report on Form 10-K because it is substantially the same information as has been provided previously in a prospectus timely filed pursuant to Rule 424 of the General Rules and Regulations Promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 under the same Central Index Key (CIK) as this annual report on Form 10-K.
Item 1122 of Regulation AB: Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.
WaMu Asset Acceptance Corp. (in its role as depositor), Washington Mutual Bank (in its role as servicer) (“WMB”), Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. (in its role as administrative agent) (“WMMSC”), Washington Mutual Bank fsb (in its role as custodian), and American Security Insurance Company and Standard Guaranty Insurance Company (together, in the role as hazard insurance servicer, “ASIC”) (collectively, the “Servicing Parties”) have each been identified by the registrant as parties participating in the servicing function with respect to the asset pool held by the Trust. Each of the Servicing Parties has completed a report on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it (each a “Servicing Report”), which Servicing Reports are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. Each of the Servicing Parties have provided an attestation report (each an “Attestation Report”) by one or more public accounting firms, which reports are also attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. None of the Servicing Reports or Attestation Reports has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria as applicable to the respective Servicing Party except that, with respect to:
1. WMB and its compliance with:
a. Item 1122(d)(2)(vii)(D). Approximately 532 account reconciliations out of approximately 60,000 statements (or approximately 0.9%) with reconciling items were not resolved within 90 days of their identification, due to the migration of functions to personnel in a separate geographic location. All such reconciling items have been resolved in the meantime and processes and procedures are in place to provide for on-going compliance with this requirement;
b. Item 1122(d)(3)(i)(B) and (3)(ii). A programming change resulted in the miscalculation of some liquidation proceeds and the failure to include other liquidation proceeds, in the aggregate amount of approximately $9,694,614, in the September 2007 distribution with respect to 13 securitizations subject to Regulation AB. WMB in each of the securitizations remitted the applicable shortfall amount on October 1, 2007 to the applicable Trustee as required by the applicable pooling and servicing agreement. The programming error was corrected in October 2007;
c. Item 1122(d)(3)(ii). Prepayment fees due to investors in 16 or more securitizations subject to Regulation AB were calculated incorrectly on certain loans with deferred interest, resulting in a shortfall in the distributions to those investors in an aggregate amount that is not expected to exceed $500,000. In addition, WMB has determined that, under certain circumstances, WMB's automated loan servicing system calculates the applicable interest to be used to determine prepayment premiums inconsistently with the requirements of certain mortgage loan notes, which could result in the underpayment of prepayment premiums due to certificateholders in prepayment premium classes under the terms of the applicable transaction agreements Approximately 15 loans in 8 securitizations subject to Regulation AB have been identified that may have been affected in 2007. Any amounts due as the result of these miscalculations will be delivered to the applicable trustee for distribution to the affected investors once analysis of these matters has been completed and the amounts due in the case of each securitization have been determined. Processes and procedures are currently being implemented to provide for more accurate calculation of prepayment fees and WMB is making changes to its automated servicing system to provide for some of the identified variations in the terms of mortgage note prepayment requirements;
d. Item 1122(d)(4)(vii). With respect to 4 series of mortgage-backed securities, WMB recently self-identified foreclosure cases initiated in connection with approximately 175 loans where WMB did not expressly disclose the interests in the loans of the applicable trustees. To the extent necessary under applicable law and court rules, WMB will promptly move to amend those foreclosure pleadings. Investors will be made whole if any direct losses or additional costs and expenses are incurred as a result of the failure to identify the interests of the trusts in the loans in any proceeding in which applicable law or court rules the trusts’ interests must be disclosed. WMB will conduct further research and if additional loans are identified that were treated similarly, WMB will make the applicable trusts whole if any losses arise from such treatment; and
e. Item 1122(d)(4)(xiv). Delinquent second lien mortgage loans were not charged off at 180 days as required by the applicable pooling and servicing agreements in the case of two securitizations subject to Regulation AB. All such mortgage loans were charged off as required upon identification of the non-compliance. Processes and procedures have been put in place to provide for on-going compliance with this requirement.
2. WMMSC and its compliance with:
a. Item 1122(d)(2)(vii)(D). One reconciling item was not resolved within 90 days of its original identification. This reconciling item was resolved within 124 days of its original identification and processes and procedures are in place to provide for on-going compliance with this requirement;
b. Item 1122(d)(3)(ii). Prepayment fees due to investors in 16 or more securitizations subject to Regulation AB were calculated incorrectly on certain loans with deferred interest, resulting in a shortfall in the distributions to those investors in an aggregate amount that is not expected to exceed $1,500,000, of which not more than $1,000,000 is expected to be attributable to incorrect calculations performed by WMMSC and not more than $500,000 is expected to be attributable to incorrect calculations performed by WMB. The amounts due as the result of these miscalculations will be delivered to the applicable Trustee for distribution to the affected investors once analysis of the matter has been completed and the amounts due in the case of each securitization have been determined. Processes and procedures have been implemented and are currently being validated to provide for more accurate calculation of prepayment fees; and
c. Item 1122(d)(3)(ii). Certain LIBOR values were incorrectly determined for the December, 2007 distribution with respect to certain classes of securities subject to pooling and servicing agreements which requires that LIBOR values be determined on the second day on which banks in London are open for foreign exchange transactions prior to the 25th day of the prior calendar month. In the referenced month, the specified LIBOR valuation day was Thanksgiving Day, not a day in the United States of America in which banks are open for transactions in foreign exchange but a day on which banks in London are. LIBOR was established on the day immediately preceding Thanksgiving Day rather than Thanksgiving Day as required under the applicable pooling and servicing agreements. The difference in LIBOR values was .00562 percentage points. Accordingly certain classes of securities were overpaid interest and certain classes of securities were underpaid interest by the same amount. In December, 2007, interest was reallocated to investors using the correct LIBOR values and total interest reallocated in each affected series of securities ranged from approximately $304 to $3,050. The aggregate original interest payments distributed to the affected series of securities ranged from approximately $1,124,821 to $11,126,217. Procedures have been implemented to provide for accurate determinations of LIBOR.
3. ASIC and its compliance with Item 1122(d)(4)(xii). During the reporting period covered by this 10-K Annual Report, ASIC did not have sufficient policies and procedures in place to capture the information necessary to determine its compliance with Item 1122(d)(4)(xii). As stated in a letter dated January 30, 2008 and attached hereto as Exhibit 33.4, ASIC has implemented policies and procedures to capture the information required to comply with this provision.
Item 1123 of Regulation AB: Servicer Compliance Statement.
WMB (in its role as servicer) and WMMSC (in its role as calculation agent) have been identified by the registrant as servicers with respect to the asset pool held by the Trust. Each of WMB and WMMSC has completed a statement of compliance with applicable servicing criteria (each a “Compliance Statement”), in each case signed by an authorized officer of WMB and WMMSC, respectively. The Compliance Statements are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. None of the Compliance Statements has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the respective servicer’s obligation under the applicable servicing agreement.
