1. Pursuant to Subpart 229.1100 - Asset Backed Securities, 17 C.F.R. section 229. 1100-229.1123 ("Regulation AB"), Regulus Group LLC, for itself and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (individually and collectively "Regulus"), is responsible for assessing its compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the remittance processing services it provides to customers who are issuers or servicers of asset backed securities transactions and who have requested confirmation of Regulus' compliance in connection with loan and/or receivables portfolios that include pool assets for asset backed securities transactions (the "Platform").

EXHIBIT B to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.'s 2006 Certification Regarding Compliance With Applicable Servicing Criteria
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") acknowledges the following material instances of noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria:
1. 1122(d)(3)(i) - Delinquency Reporting - For certain loans sub-serviced by Wells Fargo or for which servicing rights were acquired on a bulk-acquisition basis, Wells Fargo determined that it provided incomplete data to some third parties who use such data to calculate delinquency ratios and determine the status of loans with respect to bankruptcy, foreclosure or real estate owned. The incomplete reporting only affected securitizations that included delinquent loans. Instead of the actual due date being provided for use in calculating delinquencies, the date of the first payment due to the security was provided. Wells Fargo subsequently included additional data in the monthly remittance reports, providing the actual borrower due date and unpaid principal balance, together with instructions to use these new fields if such monthly remittance reports are used to calculate delinquency ratios.
2. 1122(d)(4)(vii) - Notification of Intent to Foreclose - Wells Fargo determined that, as required by certain servicing agreements, it did not provide investors with prior notification of intent to foreclose. While investors received monthly delinquency status reports that listed loans in foreclosure, such reports were received after such loans had been referred to an attorney. A new process is being implemented to send such notifications if contractually required, unless an investor opts out in writing.

ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SERVICING CRITERIA
Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Company") provides this assessment of compliance with the following applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management has determined that the servicing criteria are applicable in regards to the servicing platform for the period as follows:
Platform: Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, for which the Company provides master servicing, trustee, securities administration or paying agent services, excluding transactions issued by any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government or any government sponsored entity (the "Platform").
Applicable Servicing Criteria: All servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d), to the extent required in the related transaction agreements or required by the Item 1122(d) servicing criteria in regards to the activities performed by the Company, except for the following criteria: 1122(d)(1)(iii), 1122(d)(4)(ii), 1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(v), 1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiii), 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").
Third parties classified as vendors: With respect to servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(i), the Company has engaged various vendors to handle certain Uniform Commercial Code filing functions required by the servicing criteria ("vendors"). The Company has determined that none of the vendors is a "servicer" as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company elects to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the portion of 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"). The Company has policies and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that each vendor's 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.
With respect to the Platform and the Period, the Company provides the following assessment of compliance with respect to the Applicable Servicing Criteria:
1. The Company is responsible for assessing its compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.
2. The Company 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. Other than as identified on Schedule A hereto, as of and for the Period, the Company was in material compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria. Any material instances of noncompliance by a vendor of which the Company is aware and any material deficiency in the Company's policies and procedures to monitor vendors' compliance that the Company has identified is specified on Schedule A hereto.
KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to the Company's foregoing assessment of compliance as of and for the Period.

The undersigned are Senior Vice Presidents of ZCSIA, have sufficient authority to make the statements contained in this Assertion and are responsible for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to ZCSIA.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Members Regulus Group LLC:
We have examined management's assessment for those customers that management has informed us have requested confirmation of compliance, included in the accompanying Report on Assessment of Compliance with Regulation AB Servicing Criteria, that Regulus Group LLC complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d)(2)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(iv) of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation AB for remittance processing services to those issuers of asset backed securities and servicers of loan and/or receivables portfolios that include pool assets for asset backed securities transactions (the Platform) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006. Regulus Group LLC has determined that the remainder of the servicing criteria are not applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform as of and for the year 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 assessment 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.
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.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.:
We have examined Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.'s (the Company) compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation AB for its primary servicing of residential mortgage loans by its Wells Fargo Home Mortgage division, other than the servicing of such loans for Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae, state and local government bond programs, or a Federal Home Loan Bank (the Platform), except for servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(iii) and 1122(d)(4)(xv), which the Company has determined are not applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006. Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with those servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 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.
Our examination disclosed the following instances of material noncompliance with certain servicing criteria applicable to the Company during the year ended December 31, 2006:
1. 1122(d)(3)(i) - Delinquency Reporting - The Company provided incomplete data to some third parties who use such data to calculate delinquency ratios and determine the status of loans with respect to bankruptcy, foreclosure or real estate owned. Instead of the actual due date being provided for use in calculating delinquencies, the date of the first payment due to the security was provided.
2. 1122(d)(4)(vii) - Notification of Intent to Foreclose - The Company, as required by certain servicing agreements, did not provide investors with prior notification of intent to foreclose.

As described in the accompanying 2006 Certification Regarding Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, for servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(i), 1122(d)(2)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(xi), and 1122(d)(4)(xiii), 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 "servicers" 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 Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations ("Interpretation 17.06"), with the exception of those vendors who have provided their own reports on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria to the Company, for which the Company does not take such responsibility. 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, except for the instances of material noncompliance described above, the Company complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006.
