Independent Accountants' Report


The Board of Directors
North Fork Bancorporation, Inc.:


We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management
Assertion, that GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
North Fork Bancorporation, Inc., complied with the minimum servicing standards
set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2005. Management is responsible for GreenPoint Mortgage Funding,
Inc.'s compliance with those minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on management's assertion about GreenPoint Mortgage
Funding, Inc.'s compliance based on our examination.


Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and,
accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about GreenPoint
Mortgage Funding, Inc.'s compliance with the minimum servicing standards
specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on
GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc.'s compliance with the minimum servicing
standards.


Our examination disclosed the following material noncompliance with minimum
servicing standards over custodial bank accounts as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2005. Certain custodial bank account reconciliations were not
prepared and reviewed on a timely basis. In addition, there are certain
custodial bank accounts that have reconciling items that have not been resolved
within 90 calendar days of their original identification.


In our opinion, except for the material noncompliance described in the third
paragraph, GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc. complied, in all material respects,
with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2005.
