                                        Amendment No. 1



The Issuing Entity is filing this Form 10-K/A to replace Exhibits 31, 33(a) and
34(a) to the original Form 10-K filed on April 2, 2007. American Security
Insurance Company, Standard Guaranty Insurance Company and TrackSure Insurance
Agency, Inc. (formerly, "Safeco Financial Institution Solutions, Inc.")
("Assurant Inc.") recently provided the Issuing Entity with a revised report on
assessment of compliance with servicing criteria for asset-backed securities and
a related attestation. In the original assessment previously provided to the
Issuing Entity, Assurant Inc. excluded Item 1122(d)(4)(xii) from the scope of
its assessment. Assurant Inc. recently provided the Issuing Entity with a
revised assessment of compliance that assesses Assurant Inc.'s compliance with
Item 1122(d)(4)(xii) and identifies material instance of non compliance with
this criterion. This material instance of non compliance is noted in this Form
10-K/A under "ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE ITEMS PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION J" The
Issuing Entity has included this revised assessment of compliance under Exhibit
33(a), the related attestation under Exhibit 34(a) and a revised Rule
13a-14(d)/15d-14(d) Certification under Exhibit 31. This Form 10-K/A does not
otherwise amend the original Form 10-K filed with the Commission on April 2,
2007.

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


           Reports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria for
           asset-backed securities are attached hereto under Item 15.

           Assurant, Inc. previously excluded the applicable servicing criteria
           set forth in Item 1122 (d)(4)(xii) from the scope of its assessment
           of compliance. Assurant, Inc. has now assessed its compliance with
           the Applicable Servicing Criteria for the Reporting Period of January
           1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 and has identified a material
           instance of noncompliance with that servicing criterion.
           Specifically, Assurant, Inc. did not have, during the Reporting
           Period, sufficient policies and procedures to capture the information
           with respect to the Platform Transactions necessary to determine
           compliance with Item 1122(d)(4)(xii). Accordingly, Assurant, Inc. has
           restated its previous assessment for the Reporting Period, which
           excluded evaluation of the criterion, to include the criterion and
           reflect the material noncompliance as a result of its assessment.

           The 1122 statements for First American Real Estate Solutions of
           Texas, L.P. (as Sub-Contractor for Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC) have
           disclosed the following material instance of noncompliance with
           the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d)(2)(vii)(B) of
           Regulation AB applicable to it during year ended
           December 31, 2006. Account reconciliations for all asset-backed
           securities related bank accounts were not prepared within 30
           calendar days after the bank statement cutoff date, or such other
           number of days specified in the transaction agreements as
           required by Item 1122(d)(2)(vii)(B) of Regulation AB.


           The 1122 statements for Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
           ("Corporate Trust Services") have disclosed material
           noncompliance with criterion 1122(d)(3)(i), as applicable to
           Corporate Trust Services during the twelve months ended
           December 31. 2006. Certain monthly investor or remittance
           reports included errors in the calculation and/or the reporting
           of delinquencies for the pool assets.


  Item 1123 of Regulation AB, Servicer Compliance Statement.


           Servicer compliance statements are attached hereto under Item 15.
