EX-33 (c) Report on Assessment of Compliance with Regulation AB Servicing Criteria 1. The undersigned authorized officer of LandAmerica Tax and Flood Services, Inc. (the "Company") is responsible for assessing the Company's compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as defined in 17 CFR Part 229 Section 1122(d) (4)(xi) and 1122(d)(4)(xii) (the "Regulation AB Servicing Criteria") for residential mortgage backed securities for which the Company served as third-party property tax payment provider on the underlying collateral (the "Platform"). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the servicing criteria set forth in 17 CFR Part 229 Section 1122(d) are not applicable to the activities the Company performed with respect to the Platform. 2. The Company used the criteria in 17 CFR Part 229 Section 1122(d) to assess the compliance with the Regulation AB Servicing Criteria. 3. Under one of the services offered by the Company, some customers may elect to remit tax payments directly to tax agencies without having the Company remit those property tax payments through our tax payment service. We refer to these customers as "non-outsourced servicer customers." With respect to these non-outsourced customers and the services the Company delivered pursuant to the servicing criteria set forth in 17 CFR Part 229 Section 1122(d)(4)(xi), the Company's assertion is strictly limited to its processing of tax payments submitted through the Company's tax payment service. 4. With respect to servicing criteria set forth in 17 CFR Part 229 Section 1122(d)(4)(xii), the Company's assertion is strictly limited to its processing of property tax penalty payments. The Company has determined that its servicer customers may also have access to systems that enable those servicers to process penalties through obligor escrow accounts. Management's assessment of compliance does not relate to the actual or potential activities of other parties with access to obligor escrow accounts. 5. Based on such assessment, management believes that, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company has complied in all material respects with the Regulation AB Servicing Criteria related to the servicing of the Platform. 6. The registered public accounting firm of Grant Thornton, LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company's assessment of compliance with the Regulation AB Servicing Criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006.

ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SERVICING CRITERIA Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Company") provides this assessment of compliance with the following applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management has determined that the servicing criteria are applicable in regards to the servicing platform for the period as follows: Platform: Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, for which the Company provides master servicing, trustee, securities administration or paying agent services, excluding transactions issued by any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government or any government sponsored entity (the "Platform"). Applicable Servicing Criteria: All servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d), to the extent required in the related transaction agreements or required by the Item 1122(d) servicing criteria in regards to the activities performed by the Company, except for the following criteria: 1122(d)(1)(iii), 1122(d)(4)(ii), 1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(v), 1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiii), which management has determined are not applicable to the activities the Company performs with respect to the Platform (the "Applicable Servicing Criteria"). Period: Twelve months ended December 31, 2006 (the "Period"). Third parties classified as vendors: With respect to servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(i), the Company has engaged various vendors to handle certain Uniform Commercial Code filing functions required by the servicing criteria ("vendors"). The Company has determined that none of the vendors is a "servicer" as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company elects to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the portion of the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor as permitted by Interpretation 17.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations ("Interpretation 17.06"). The Company has policies and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that each vendor's activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor. The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendors and related criteria. With respect to the Platform and the Period, the Company provides the following assessment of compliance with respect to the Applicable Servicing Criteria: 1. The Company is responsible for assessing its compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria. 2. The Company has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria, including servicing criteria for which compliance is determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above, as of and for the Period. In performing this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB. 3. Other than as identified on Schedule A hereto, as of and for the Period, the Company was in material compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria. Any material instances of noncompliance by a vendor of which the Company is aware and any material deficiency in the Company's policies and procedures to monitor vendors' compliance that the Company has identified is specified on Schedule A hereto. KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to the Company's foregoing assessment of compliance as of and for the Period.

Schedule A Material Instances of Noncompliance by the Company 1122(d)(3)(i)- Delinquency Reporting - During the reporting period, certain monthly investor or remittance reports included errors in the calculation and/or the reporting of delinquencies for the pool assets, which errors may or may not have been material.
