Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.

As disclosed by American Home Mortgage Investment Corp. ("American Home
Mortgage") in its Current Report on Form 8-K (Commission File Number 001-31916,
CIK Number 0001256536) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

of its subsidiaries, including American Home Mortgage Servicing, Inc. ("AHM
Servicing"), had filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
(the "Bankruptcy Court") (American Home Mortgage Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, et al. Case No. 07-11047(CSS)).

As disclosed by American Home Mortgage in its Current Report on Form 8-K
(Commission File Number 001-31916, CIK Number 0001256536) filed with the SEC on
September 28, 2007, on September 25, 2007, American Home Mortgage and its

Item 1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.

The reports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria for
asset-backed securities and the related attestation reports on such assessments
of compliance are attached hereto under Item 15.

Although each servicing criterion required by Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB is
addressed in one or more of the Assessments of Compliance with Servicing
Criteria and related Attestation Reports included with this report, the
Assessment of Compliance of Indymac Bank, F.S.B. (the "Servicer") and related
Attestation Report did not address each of the servicing criteria that the
Servicer was required to address under the terms of the related Servicing
Agreement. The Servicer has not identified such failure to provide an
Assessment and Attestation for these items as a material failure to fulfill its
obligations under the related servicing agreement in the Servicer's Compliance
Statement provided under Item 1123 of Regulation AB, because the Servicer
asserts that those items are not applicable to the Servicer.



Item 1123 of Regulation AB, Servicer Compliance Statement.

The servicer compliance statements are attached hereto under Item 15.
