            Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


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

We have examined management's 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 on behalf of Servicers for such asset-backed securities transactions
that were registered after January 1, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Platform"), as of
December 31, 2006 and for the year then ended, excluding (i) criteria
1122(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 errors that 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.
