      filed in respect of periods included in the year covered by such annual
      reports of the trusts (each, a "Trust") formed pursuant to such
      Agreements;

2.    Based on my knowledge, with respect to each Trust, the information in
      these reports, taken as a whole, does not contain any untrue statement of
      a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the

3.    Based on my knowledge, the distribution or servicing information required
      to be provided to the trustee by the servicer under each Agreement for
      inclusion in the related Trust's Distribution Date Statements is included

      under each Agreement and based upon my knowledge and the annual compliance
      review required under each Agreement, and except as disclosed in the
      reports, the servicer has fulfilled its obligations under each Agreement;

5.    The reports disclose all significant deficiencies relating to the
