                          Applicable Servicing Criteria

     JPMorgan  Chase  Bank,  National  Association  (the  "Asserting  Party") is
responsible for assessing  compliance as of December 31, 2006 and for the period
from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 (the "Reporting Period") with the
servicing  criteria set forth in Title 17,  Section  229.1122 (d) of the Code of
Federal  Regulations  (the "CFR") as set forth in  Appendix A hereto,  which the
Asserting Party has concluded are applicable to it in connection with its Master
Servicing operations with respect to the transactions listed in Appendix B which
comprise the Master Servicing  platform as defined below, to the extent required
by the related transaction  agreements as to any transaction (such criteria, the
"Applicable  Servicing  Criteria").  For the  purpose  of this  assessment,  the
Asserting  Party has  defined  its Master  Servicing  platform  as all  publicly
offered asset-backed transactions backed by residential mortgages or home equity
loans issued on or after January 1, 2006 where the Asserting Party is the master
servicer (the "Platform").

     The  Asserting  Party  (i)  has  used  the  criteria  set  forth  in 17 CFR
229.1122(d) to assess the compliance by the Asserting  Party with the Applicable
Servicing  Criteria for the  Reporting  Period and (ii) has  concluded  that the
Asserting  Party has complied,  in all material  respects,  with the  Applicable
Servicing  Criteria as of December  31, 2006 and for the  Reporting  Period with
respect to the Platform, taken as a whole.

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