Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Assurant, Inc.

 

We have examined managements assertion, included in the accompanying management’s Report on Assessment of Compliance with 1122(d)(2)(vi) and 1122 (d)(4)(xi) of Regulation AB Servicing Criteria, that American Security Insurance Company, Standard Guaranty Insurance Company and Safeco Financial Institution Solutions, Inc. (affiliates of Assurant Inc., collectively the “Asserting Party”) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for all mortgage loan-tracking transactions for which the Asserting Party served as a Vendor of behalf of Servicers for such asset-backed securities transaction that were registered after January 1, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Platform”), as December 31, 2006 and for the year then ended, excluding (i) criteria1122(d)(1)(i) through 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(i) through 1122(d)(2)(v), 1122(d)(2)(vii), 1122(d)(3)(i) through 1122(d)(3)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(i) through 1122(d)(4)(x) and 1122(d)(4)(xiii) through 1122(d)(4)(xv), which the Asserting Party has determined are not applicable to the activities performed by it with respect to the Platform and (ii) criterion 1122(d)(4)(xii), which relates to servicing activities that are applicable to the Platform, but are excluded from the scope of  management’s assertion and are not reported on herein. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion based on our examination.

 

Our examination was conducted in accordance with 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 applicable servicing criteria and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing of selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the applicable servicing criteria. 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 detect noncompliance arising from errorsthat may have occurred 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. 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 Asserting Party complied with the aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 for the Platform is fairly stated, in all material respects.
