Report on Management's Assertion on Compliance
with the Specified Minimum Servicing Standards Set Forth in the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers

Report of Independent Accountants

Board of Directors
National City Mortgage Co.

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying report
titled Report of Management, that National City Mortgage Co. (NCM) complied with
the minimum servicing standards identified in Exhibit A to the Report of
Management (the specific minimum servicing standards) as set forth in the
Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers (USAP) during the year-ended December 31, 2004. Management is
responsible for NCM's compliance with the specified minimum servicing standards.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertions about
NCM's compliance based on our examination.

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

In our opinion, management's assertion that NCM complied with the aforementioned
specified minimum servicing standards during the year ended December 31, 2004,
is fairly stated, in all material respects.

Management's Assertion on Compliance with Minimum Servicing
Standards Set Forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers

Report of Management

We, as members of management of National City Mortgage Co. (NCM), are
responsible for complying with the minimum servicing standards as set forth in
the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program
for Mortgage Bankers (USAP). We are also responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over compliance with these standards. We
have performed an evaluation of NCM's compliance with the minimum servicing
standards as set forth in the USAP as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then
ended. Based on this evaluation, we assert that during the year ended December
31, 2004, NCM complied, in all material respects, with the minimum servicing
standards set forth in the USAP.

As of and for this same period, NCM had in effect a fidelity bond policy in
the amount of $200 million and an errors and omissions policy in the amount
of $250 million.
