  Item 1122 of Regulation AB.
Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.
 See Item
15, exhibits (33) and (34)
  The
following information regarding LaSalle Bank National Association's material
instances of noncompliance and related remedial action was provided by LaSalle
Bank National Association.
  LaSalle
Bank National Association’s (“LaSalle”) Report on Assessment of Compliance with
Servicing Criteria for 2007 (the “2007 Assessment”) attached to this Report on
Form 10-K describes in Appendix B the following material instance of
noncompliance related to investor reporting:
 
 “1122(d)(3)(i)(A)
and (B) – During the Reporting Period, certain monthly investor or remittance
reports were not prepared in accordance with the terms set forth in the
transaction agreements and certain investor reports did not provide the
information calculated in accordance with the terms specified in the transaction
agreements for which certain individual errors may or may not have been
material.”
 
 The
investor reporting errors identified on LaSalle’s 2007 Assessment as material
instances of noncompliance (the “Investor Reporting Errors”) included, for
example, revised delinquency, REO, foreclosure, repurchase, payoff or modified
loan counts, category indicators and/or balances.  The conclusion that
the Investor Reporting Errors amounted to a material instance of noncompliance
was based primarily on the aggregate number of errors as opposed to the
materiality of any one error.
 
 The
Investor Reporting Errors were generally caused by human error resulting
primarily from high volume monthly data processing demands that had to be
addressed within constricted time frames with less than a full complement of
operational staff.  Between the fourth quarter of the Reporting Period
and the date of the 2007 Assessment, LaSalle has employed additional operational
staff to accommodate the high volume of monthly investor reporting requirements
and minimize the risk of the Investor Reporting Errors
recurring.  Other necessary controls are in place to minimize the risk
of such errors.
 
 With
respect to the specific pool assets and asset-backed securities related to the
Investor Reporting Errors, the errors did not have, and are not reasonable
likely in the future to have, any material impact or effect on pool asset
performance, servicing of the pool assets and payments or expected payments on
the mortgage-backed securities.
