1.    Avelo Mortgage, LLC (the "Servicer") is responsible for assessing
      compliance, as of December 31, 2006 and for the period from February 24,
      2006 (the first day of the distribution period in which the GS Mortgage
      Securities Corp. ("GSMSG") first issued securities subject to Regulation
      AB through December 31, 2006 (the "Reporting Period"), with the servicing
      criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB, excluding the
      criteria set forth in Item 1122 (d)(1)(i), (d)(1)(iii), (d)(2)(ii),
      (d)(2)(iv), (d)(3)(ii), (d)(3)(iii), (d)(4)(i), (d)(4)(ii), (d)(4)(iii),
      (d)(4)(vi), and (d)(4)(xv) of Regulation AB, which the Servicer has
      concluded are not applicable to the activities it performs, directly, with
      respect to the asset-backed securities transactions covered by this report
      (such criteria, after giving effect to the exclusions identified above,
      the "Applicable Servicing Criteria"). The transactions in which the
      Servicer was a party are covered by this report included those
      asset-backed securities transactions conducted by the GSMSG that were
      registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
      Securities Act of 1933 where the related asset-backed securities were
      outstanding during the Reporting Period (the "Platform"), as listed in
      Appendix A.

2.    The Servicer has engaged certain vendors (the "Vendors") to perform
      specific, limited or scripted activities for the reporting period and the
      Servicer elects to take responsibility for assessing compliance with
      certain servicing criteria applicable to such Vendors.

3.    The Servicer has complied, in all material respects, with the applicable
      servicing criteria as of and for the Reporting Period except as follows:

      The Servicer assessed its compliance with the Applicable Servicing
      Criteria for the Reporting Period and has identified a material instance
      of non-compliance with servicing criterion set forth in Item
      1122(d)(2)(vii) of Regulation AB with respect to the Platform.
      Specifically, the Servicer did not prepare reconciliations for all
      asset-backed securities related bank accounts within 30 calendar days
      after the bank statement cut-off date, or as such other number of days as
      specified in the transaction agreements and reconciling items were not
      resolved within 90 days of their original identification or such other
      number of days as specified in the transaction agreements.

4.    The Servicer has not identified and is not aware of any material instance
      of noncompliance by the Vendors with the applicable servicing criteria for
      the Reporting Period;

5.    The Servicer has not identified any material deficiency in its policies
      and procedures to monitor the compliance by the Vendors with the
      applicable servicing criteria for the Reporting Period;

6.    PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting
      firm, has issued an attestation report for the Platform on the assessment
      of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of December 31,
      2006 and for the Reporting Period.
