Commission on April 17, 2007, Commission File Number 333-131600-20, CIK Number
0001396006. No additional disclosure is necessary because such entity does not

as of December 31, 2007.



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

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 following parties have reported one or more instances of material
noncompliance with applicable servicing criteria in their reports on assessments
of compliance:

The assessment of compliance for American Home Mortgage Servicing, Inc.
disclosed the following material noncompliance with servicing criteria
1122(d)(2)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(iii), as applicable during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2007:

* With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(i), certain obligor
  remittances were not deposited into the appropriate custodial bank accounts
  within two business days of receipt as required by the related transaction
  agreements. Payments on pool assets were not deposited into the appropriate
  custodial bank accounts within two business days of receipt as specified in
  the transaction documents for various securitizations serviced by American
  Home Mortgage Servicing, Inc. as a result of a unilateral bank decision by
  JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the depository bank, to require a fully funded
  daily payment clearing bank account (called a "prefund status") between
  August 1, 2007 and December 20, 2007. This requirement added one day of delay
  to the funds transfer process during that period. American Home Mortgage
  Servicing, Inc. believes it is in compliance with the requirements of
  servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(i) as of December 20, 2007.

* With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(4)(iii), certain removals from
  the asset pool were not made within the timeframe required by the related
  transaction agreements. For one of the 75 securitizations American Home
  Mortgage Servicing, Inc. serviced during 2007, the pooling and servicing
  agreement restricted American Home Mortgage Servicing, Inc.'s ability to
  comply with that document while acting in the best interests of the trust. In
  particular, the pooling and servicing agreement for the transaction provided
  that American Home Mortgage Servicing, Inc. was required to charge-off any
  loans in the trust that were delinquent for 180 days, but did not provide for
  the simultaneous transfer of such loans to the depositor (or its designee).
  In January 2008, the pooling and servicing agreement for the transaction was
  amended to provide for such simultaneous transfer.

The assessment of compliance for GMAC Mortgage, LLC 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, the
Assessments of Compliance of American Home Mortgage Servicing, Inc, and GMAC
Mortgage, LLC (the "Servicers") and related Attestation Reports did not address
each of the servicing criteria that the Servicers were required to address
under the terms of the related Servicing Agreements. The Servicers have 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 agreements in the Servicer's Compliance Statements provided under
Item 1123 of Regulation AB, because the Servicers assert that those items are
not applicable to the Servicers.



Item 1123 of Regulation AB, Servicer Compliance Statement.

The servicer compliance statements are attached hereto under Item 15.
