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 party has reported one or more instances of material noncompliance with applicable servicing criteria in its report on assessments of compliance: SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. has assessed its compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the 12- month period ending December 31, 2007 and has identified two instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria as set out in Section 229.1122(d)(1)(iv) and Section 229.1122(d)(2)(vii), respectively. In regards to the former, SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. did not strictly maintain the required fidelity bond coverage amount at all times during 2007. And, in regards to the latter, certain bank reconciliations contained items that required enhanced explanations and that were not fully resolved within 90 calendar days of original identification. Suntrust Mortgage, Inc. has determined that none of the items requiring enhanced explanations adversely impacted the amounts available to satisfy the issuing entity's obligations under the transaction documents. As to the issue identified at Section 229.1122(d)(1)(iv), SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. maintained fidelity bond coverage in the amount of $150MM throughout calendar year 2007, which was determined to be insufficient according to applicable FNMA transaction agreement terms. This deficiency was an issue for limited portions of the year and resulted from an increase in the volume of the servicing portfolio. SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. has requested a waiver from FNMA stating this coverage amount is adequate without regard for the size of the residential servicing portfolio, subject to an annual FNMA review. FNMA has verbally agreed to this request, and SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. is working to formalize this agreement. Regarding the issue identified at Section 229.1122(d)(2)(vii), SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. has enhanced its procedures and controls around the relevant reconciliation process to prevent any future compliance concerns.
