1.

CitiMortgage, Inc (the “Servicer”) is responsible for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it under paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, in connection with the servicing of 1) first lien residential mortgage loans (other than (a) Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae residential mortgage loan securitizations, (b) special bond programs and (c) loans held for its own portfolio) and 2) student loans issued subsequent to January 1, 2006, for which the Servicer performs a particular servicing function pursuant to a servicing agreement with a third party, utilizing the Citilink system (the “Platform”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006;

2.

The Servicer has engaged certain vendors (the “Vendors”) to perform specific, limited or scripted activities as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006. As set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Servicer’s management has determined that these Vendors are not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Servicer’s management has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with 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). As permitted by Interpretation 17.06, management has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Vendors’ activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each Vendor. The Servicer’s management is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the Vendors and related criteria;

3.

Except as set forth in paragraph 4 below, the Servicer used the criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to assess the compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006;

4.

The criteria listed as Inapplicable Servicing Criteria on Exhibit A hereto are inapplicable to the Servicer based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions involving the Platform. For student loan transactions all of the criteria on Exhibit A are inapplicable to the Servicer, except for 1122(d)(3)(i)(A), 1122(d)(3)(i)(B) and 1122(d)(3)(ii), based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions involving the Platform;

5.

The Servicer has complied, in all material respects, with the applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006;

6.

The Servicer has not identified and is not aware of any material instance of noncompliance by the Vendors with the applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006;

7.

The Servicer has not identified any material deficiency in its policies and procedures to monitor the compliance by the Vendors with the applicable servicing criteria for the year ended December 31, 2006; and

8.

KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006.
