Instances
      of Non-Compliance




With
      Regulation AB Servicing Criteria




The
      Servicer has assessed its compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria
      as
      of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, and has concluded that it has
      complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria
      with
      respect to the Platform taken as a whole, except as disclosed
      below:




Reconciliations
      for Asset-Backed Securities Related Bank Account — 1122(d) (2) (vii)
      (D)




Our
      investor bank account reconciliations included certain reconciling items that
      were not resolved within 90 calendar days of their original identification
      on
      eleven of sixty-three investor bank account reconciliations selected for
      testing. The sum of the reconciling items for those eleven reconciliations
      was
      $216,950.




Adjustment
      to Interest Rates for Pool Assets With Variable Rates —
1122(d)(4)(ix)




Our
      testing of sixty-five adjustable rate mortgages revealed two instances where
      certain adjustable rate mortgages for which the interest rate reset in the
      servicing system did not agree to interest rates in the appropriate source
      index
      per the borrower’s note documents. These were the result of incorrect
      information transferring from the prior servicer. Additionally, the same
      sixty-five mortgages selected for testing included one instance where the
      adjustable rate mortgage payment change date in the servicing system did not
      agree to the loan documents.
