  ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE ITEMS FOR REGULATION AB


Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB, Significant Obligor Financial Information.

No single obligor represents 10% or more of the pool assets held by the issuing
entity.



Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB, Credit Enhancement and Other Suppport Except

No entity or group of affiliated entities provides any external credit
enhancement or other support for the certificates within this transaction as
described under Item 1114(a) of Regulation AB.



Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB, Certain Derivatives Instruments (Financial

HSBC Bank USA, National Association provides both an interest rate cap and an
interest rate swap derivative instrument for the trust as disclosed in the
424(b)(5) Prospectus filed on January 31, 2007. No additional disclosure is
necessary because the significance percentage for both the cap and swap
agreements are less than 10%.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. provides an interest rate swap derivative instrument for the
trust as disclosed in the 424(b)(5) Prospectus filed on January 31, 2007. No
additional disclosure is necessary because the significance percentage for the
swap agreement is less than 10%.

Prospectus filed on January 31, 2007.



Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related

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.

The assessment of compliance for GMAC Mortgage, LLC ("GMACM") disclosed the
following material noncompliance, as applicable during the twelve months ended
December 31, 2007:

Certain custodial account reconciliations were not reviewed within timelines
outlined in the GMACM's policies and procedures, as required by criteria
1122 (d)(2)(vii)(C). Certain custodial accounts had reconciling items which
were not resolved within 90 calendar days of original identification, as
required by criteria 1122(d)(2)(vii)(D).

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, GMACM's
Assessment of Compliance and related Attestation Report did not address each of
the servicing criteria that GMACM was required to address under the terms of the
related Servicing Agreement. GMACM 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 its Servicer Compliance
Statement provided under Item 1123 of Regulation AB, because GMACM asserts that
those items are not applicable to GMACM.



Item 1123 of Regulation AB, Servicer Compliance Statement.

The servicer compliance statements are attached hereto under Item 15.
