Report of Independent Accountants on Report on Management's Assertion
on Compliance with Minimum Servicing Standards Set Forth in the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers


The Directors' Audit Committee
Hibernia Corporation


We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying report
titled Report of Management, that Hibernia National Bank (the Company), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Hibernia Corporation, complied with the servicing standards
identified in Exhibit A (the "specified minimum servicing standards") to the
Report of Management as set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of
America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) during
the year ended December 31, 2004. Management is responsible for the Company's
compliance with these specified minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on management's assertion based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with attestation standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly,
included examining, on a test basis, evidence concerning the Company's
compliance with the specified minimum servicing standards 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 the Company's compliance
with the specified minimum servicing standards.


In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aformentioned specified minimum servicing standards during the year ended
December 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

  4. Any late payment penalties paid in conjunction with the payment of any tax

    servicing entity throughout the reporting period in the amount of coverage
    represented to investors in management's assertion.
