MANAGEMENT’S
      ASSERTION OF COMPLIANCE





Management
      of the Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank National
      Trust Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (collectively the
“ Company ”)
      is
      responsible for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria set forth
      in
      Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
      Commission. Management has determined that the servicing criteria are applicable
      in regard to the servicing platform for the period as follows:





Platform :
      Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting required under the Securities
      Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential mortgage-backed securities and
      other asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006 for which
      the
      Company provides trustee, securities administration or paying agent services,
      excluding any publicly issued transactions sponsored or issued by any government
      sponsored entity (the “Platform”).





Applicable
      Servicing Criteria :
      All
      servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d), except for the following
      criteria:


1122(d)(2)(iii),
      1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(v), 1122(d)(4)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(vii),
      1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi),
      1122(d)(4)(xii), 1122(d)(4)(xiii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiv), which management has
      determined are not applicable to the activities the Company performs with
      respect to the Platform (the “Applicable Servicing Criteria”).





Period :
      Twelve
      months ended December 31, 2006 (the “Period”).





Management’s
      interpretation of Applicable Servicing Criteria :
      The
      Company’s management has determined that servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(iii) is
      applicable only with respect to its continuing obligation to act as, or locate
      a, successor servicer under the circumstances referenced to in certain governing
      documents. It is management’s interpretation that Deutsche Bank Trust Company
      America has no other active back-up servicing responsibilities in regards to
      1122(d)(1)(iii) as of and for the Period.





Third
      parties classified as vendors :
      With
      respect to servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(i), 1122(d)(4)(i), and 1122(d)(4)(ii),
      management has engaged various vendors to perform the activities required by
      these servicing criteria. The Company’s management has determined that these
      vendors are not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation
      AB, and the Company’s management 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, management has asserted that it has
      policies and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that the
      vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria
      applicable to each vendor. The Company’s management is solely responsible for
      determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06
      for
      the vendors and related criteria.





With
      respect to the Platform, the Company’s management provides the following
      assertion of compliance with respect to the Applicable Servicing
      Criteria:





1.
      The
      Company’s management is responsible for assessing the Company’s compliance with
      the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the Period.





2.
      The
      Company’s management has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing
      Criteria, including servicing criteria for which compliance is determined based
      on Interpretation 17.06 as described above, as of and for the Period. In
      performing this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the
      Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation
      AB.





3.
      Based
      on such assessment, as of and for the Period, the Company has complied, in
      all
      material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.





KPMG
      LLP,
      a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with
      respect to the management’s assertion of compliance with the Applicable
      Servicing Criteria as of and for the Period.
