Independent Accountants' Report


The Board of Directors
Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, a division of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.:


We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Assertion
of Management of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, a division of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
(the Company), that 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 the Company complied with the
aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of and for the year ended December
31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
