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").

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 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.

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.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To PHH Mortgage Corporation:
We have examined PHH Mortgage Corporation's (the "Company's") compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 (d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation AB for PHH Mortgage Corporation's Regulation AB Platform (the "Platform") described in the accompanying Management's Report on Assessment of Compliance with Regulation AB Servicing Criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, excluding criteria 1122 (d)(1)(iii), (d)(3)(i)(C), (d)(4)(ii), and (d)(4)(xv), which management has determined are not applicable to the activities performed by the Company with respect to the Platform. Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the applicable servicing criteria, including tests on a sample basis of the servicing activities related to the Platform, determining whether the Company performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria during the specified period and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our procedures were limited to selected servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report and, accordingly, such samples may not have included servicing activities related to each asset-backed transaction included in the Platform. Further, an examination is not designed to detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred prior to the period specified above that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report. 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, for servicing criteria 1122 (d)(4)(vii) and (d)(4)(xi), the Company has engaged a vendor to perform certain activities required by this servicing criteria. The Company has determined that this vendor is 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 this 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, the Company has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor's activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to this vendor. The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendor and related criteria as described in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company's determination of its eligibility to use Interpretation 17.06.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors The Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association:
We have examined the compliance of the Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the Company) 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 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), except for servicing 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 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 the accompanying management's Assessment of Compliance With Applicable Servicing Criteria, for servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(i), 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 Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone 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 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.
Our examination 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.
In our opinion, except for the material non-compliance described above, the Company complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned servicing criteria, including servicing criteria for which compliance is determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as discussed above, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

The Board of Directors The Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank National Association:
We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Appendix I, that the Document Custody section of the Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank National Association 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 commercial mortgage-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006 for which the Company provides document custody services, excluding any publicly issued transactions issued by any government sponsored entity (the Platform) as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Management has determined that servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii) are applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, and that all other servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) are not applicable to the document custody services provided by the Company with respect to the Platform. 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.
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned servicing criteria as of and for the period ended December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
