Independent Accountants' Report


The Board of Directors
Countrywide Financial Corporation:

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management
Assertion, that Countrywide Financial Corporation and subsidiaries, including
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. ("CHL"), and
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing, L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CHL,
(collectively, the "Company") complied with the minimum servicing standards set
forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2005.  Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with
those minimum servicing standards.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on management's assertion about the Company's compliance based on our
examination.

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

In our opinion, management's assertion that Countrywide Financial Corporation
and subsidiaries, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Countrywide Home Loans,
Inc. ("CHL"), and Countrywide Home Loans Servicing, L.P., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CHL, complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material
