    Re:
      SEC
      Inquiry of Assurant Regulation AB Section 1122(d)(4)(xii)
    
    Ms.
      Maerkle,
    
    We
      are
      providing this letter in response to the question that you received from the
      SEC
      regarding Assurant’s exclusion of Section 1122(d)(4)(xii) from our 2006
      Regulation AB Report on Assessment of Compliance with Regulation AB
      (“Assessment”).
    
    In
      our
      Assessment, we asserted that as your chosen provider of insurance tracking
      and
      monitoring services, we are the company that is responsible for following the
      procedures that you have defined and incorporated as part of our Outsourcing
      Agreement; which include making insurance disbursements for you on behalf of
      your borrowers which servicing function is described in Section 1122(d)(4)(xi).
      Our responsibilities under the Outsourcing Agreement do not include monitoring
      whether any late payment was paid on behalf of a borrower [obligor] or whether
      any such late payment was due to the borrower’s error or omission as required by
      Section 1122(d)(4)(xii). Accordingly, in our Assessment we excluded the criteria
      set forth in Section 1122(d)(4)(xii) from those servicing criteria applicable
      to
      the activities performed by us with respect to the servicing
      platform.
    
    PricewaterhouseCoopers
      excluded the same criteria from its attestation report because it was not
      included in our Assessment.
    
    Should
      you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact your
      Account Executive or me.
    
    Best

      9.25(a) of the Trust Agreement to the Depositor, with respect to the calendar
      year immediately preceding the date of this Certificate (the “Relevant Year”),
      as follows:
    
    1.I
      am
      responsible for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria
      applicable to the Credit Risk Manager during the Relevant Year. The Relevant
      Servicing Criteria applicable to the Credit Risk Manager are contained in item
      1122(d)(3)(i) of Regulation AB. For purposes of this assessment, I have used
      the
      Servicing Criteria as set forth in item 1122(d)(3)(i) of Regulation AB to assess
      compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria.
    
    2.Based
      on
      my knowledge, the Credit Risk Manager was, in all material respects, in
      compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to the Credit Risk
      Manager during the Relevant Year, and there were no material instances of
      noncompliance with respect thereto. This assessment is based on the activities
      the Credit Risk Manager performs with respect to asset-backed securities
      transactions taken as a whole involving the Credit Risk Manager, that are backed
      by the same asset type as the related Mortgage Loans.

      on Assessment of Compliance with Regulation AB Servicing
      Criteria**
    
    1.
            Pursuant
                to Subpart 229.1100 — Asset Backed Securities, l7 C.F.R.
                §§229.1100-229.1123 (“Regulation
                AB”),
                Regulus Group LLC, 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”).
                Remittance processing is a service whereby check payments that are
                remitted by mail to a post office box are collected, processed through
                a
                highly automated data capture system, and prepared for deposit to
                a bank
                account held by the beneficiary of the
                payment.
    
    2.
            The
                servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB were
                used in
                Regulus’ assessment of compliance. Regulus has concluded that the
                servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(2)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(iv)
                of
                Regulation AB are applicable to the servicing activities it performs
                with
                respect to the Platform (such criteria the “Applicable
                Servicing Criteria”).
                Regulus has concluded that the remainder of the servicing criteria
                set
                forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB are inapplicable to the activities
                it performs with respect to the Platform because Regulus does not
                participate in the servicing activities referenced by such servicing
