responsible for the assertion. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assertion based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and,

servicing of accounts has been conducted in compliance with the terms and
conditions as set forth in Articles III and Section 5.08 of the Agreement, as
