Substitute information provided in accordance with General Instruction J to Form 10–K:

Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB: Significant Obligors of Pool Assets (Financial Information).
 
The primary asset of Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust, a Delaware statutory trust formed on September 12, 2000 (the "issuance trust") -- and its primary source of funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the notes – is a collateral certificate issued by Citibank Credit Card Master Trust I (the "master trust") to the issuance trust. The collateral certificate represents an undivided interest in the assets of the master trust. The master trust's assets consist primarily of credit card receivables arising in a portfolio of revolving credit card accounts. The master trust, therefore, may be considered a significant obligor in relation to the issuance trust. Pursuant to Instruction 3.b. to Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB, the information required by Instruction J to Form 10-K in respect of the master trust has been disclosed in this report on Form 10-K in lieu of the information otherwise contemplated by Item 1112(b).
 
The pool assets held by the master trust do not include any significant obligors.
 
Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB: Credit enhancement and other support, except for certain derivatives instruments (financial information).
 
Based on the standards set forth in Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB, no information is required in response to this Item.
 
Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB: Certain derivatives instruments (financial information).
 
Based on the standards set forth in Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB, no information is required in response to this Item.
 
Item 1117 of Regulation AB: Legal proceedings.

Citibank (South Dakota), some of its affiliates, Visa U.S.A. Inc., Visa International Service Association, MasterCard International Incorporated and other banks are defendants in a consolidated class action lawsuit (IN RE CURRENCY CONVERSION FEE ANTITRUST LITIGATION) pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which seeks unspecified damages and injunctive relief. The action, originally brought on behalf of certain United States holders of VISA, MasterCard and Diners Club branded general purpose credit cards who used those cards since March 1, 1997 for foreign currency transactions, asserts,

among other things, claims for alleged violations of (i) Section 1 of the Sherman Act, (ii) the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA), and (iii) as to Citibank (South Dakota), the South Dakota Deceptive Trade Practices Act. On October 15, 2004, the District Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification of their Sherman Act and TILA claims but denied the motion as to the South Dakota Deceptive Trade Practices Act claim against Citibank (South Dakota). On March 9, 2005, the District Court granted in part and denied in part defendants’ motions for reconsideration of certain aspects of the October 15, 2004 rulings. Among other things, the District Court narrowed the antitrust classes to certain VISA-branded or MasterCard-branded cardholders of Citibank (South Dakota) and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. On December 7, 2005, the District Court certified a Diners Club damages subclass, as well as Diners' antitrust and TILA injunctive relief subclasses. In July 2006, without admitting any liability, all defendants, including the Citigroup defendants, agreed to settle the IN RE CURRENCY CONVERSION FEE ANTITRUST LITIGATION for a total of $336 million, subject to court approval. The Citigroup defendants’ share of the settlement, which has been paid into an escrow account, was covered by existing reserves.  As part of the settlement, the class was expanded to include not only credit cardholders, but also debit cardholders.  The District Court preliminarily approved the settlement, and the final approval hearing is scheduled for March 31, 2008.

Item 1119 of Regulation AB: Affiliations and certain relationships and related transactions.

Information required by Item 1119 of Regulation AB has been omitted from this report on Form 10-K in reliance on the Instruction to Item 1119.
 
Item 1122 of Regulation AB: Compliance with applicable servicing criteria.

Citibank (South Dakota), National Association, Citibank, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas have been identified by the registrant as parties participating in the servicing function with respect to Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust and Citibank Credit Card Master Trust I. Each of Citibank (South Dakota), National Association, for itself and on behalf of its affiliate Citibank, N.A., and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas has delivered a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such party (each, an "Assessment Report") as of, and for the twelve months ended, December 31, 2007, which Assessment Reports are attached as exhibits 33.1 and 33.2, respectively, to this Form 10-K. In addition, each of Citibank (South Dakota), National Association and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas has provided an attestation report (each, an "Attestation Report") by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, regarding its related Assessment Report. The Attestation Reports are attached as exhibits 34.1 and 34.2, respectively, to this Form 10-K.  No Assessment Report or related Attestation Report has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria identified in such Assessment Report as applicable to the related servicing participant.

Guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") staff permits a servicing participant to elect to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to a third party, if that third party performs specific and limited, or scripted activities that address all or a portion of the servicing criteria applicable to such servicing participant. In these cases, the servicing participant has instituted policies and procedures to monitor whether such third party's activities comply in all material respects with the applicable servicing criteria. No Assessment Report or related Attestation Report has identified any material deficiency in such servicing participant's policies and procedures to monitor compliance by any such third party.

 
  5

 


Regulations of the SEC require that a servicing participant perform a "platform" level assessment for purposes of assessing servicing compliance. This means that the transactions covered in a report on an assessment of compliance should include asset-backed securities transactions involving such servicing participant that are backed by the same asset type. Further guidance from the SEC staff identifies additional parameters which a servicing participant may apply to define and further limit its platform.  For example, a servicing participant may define its platform to include only transactions that were completed on or after January 1, 2006 (the effective date of Regulation AB) and that were registered with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.  Each servicing participant is responsible for defining its own platform, and each platform will naturally differ based on various factors, including the servicing participant's business model, the transactions in which it is involved and the range of activities performed in those transactions.

The platform defined by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in its Assessment Report attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K includes transactions in addition to those conducted by Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust, and the range of activities performed by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in those other transactions is broader than the range of activities it performs in the Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust transactions.  Accordingly, the servicing criteria addressed by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in its Assessment Report include criteria in addition to the criterion applicable specifically to the Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust transactions.

 
Item 1123 of Regulation AB: Servicer Compliance Statement.

Citibank (South Dakota), National Association has been identified by the registrant as the sole servicer with respect to the pool assets held by each of Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust and Citibank Credit Card Master Trust I.  Citibank (South Dakota), National Association, has provided a statement of compliance relating to its servicing activities for the calendar year ended December 31, 2007, which has been signed by an authorized officer of Citibank (South Dakota), National Association, and is attached hereto as exhibit 35.1.

Exhibit 33.1

Citibank (South Dakota), National Association
 
Report on Assessment of
Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria
 
1.  
Citibank (South Dakota), National Association (the "Asserting Party") is responsible for assessing compliance as of and for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2007 (the "Reporting Period"), with the servicing criteria applicable to it under paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, as set forth in Appendix 1 hereto (such servicing criteria, excluding the criteria listed in the column titled "Inapplicable Servicing Criteria" on Appendix 1 hereto, the "Applicable Servicing Criteria") in connection with the servicing activities it performs with respect to the transactions covered by this report. The transactions covered by this report include all asset-backed securities transactions conducted by Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust ("CCCIT") that were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 where the related asset-backed securities were outstanding during the Reporting Period (the "Platform"), as listed in Appendix 2 hereto.
 
2.  
Except as set forth in paragraph 3 below, the Asserting Party used the criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to assess compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of December 31, 2007 and for the Reporting Period.
 
3.  
 The criteria listed in the column titled "Inapplicable Servicing Criteria" on Appendix 1 hereto, are inapplicable to the Asserting Party based on the activities it performs with respect to the Platform.
 
4.  
Citibank N.A. ("CBNA"), an affiliate of the Asserting Party, is the paying agent of the classes of asset-backed securities listed on Appendix 2 hereto. CBNA has performed specific and limited activities with respect to the Platform. The Asserting Party has determined that CBNA is not considered a "servicer" as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Asserting Party elects to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria or portions of servicing criteria applicable to CBNA's activities as set forth in Appendix 1 hereto. The Asserting Party has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that CBNA's activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to CBNA.
 
5.  
The Asserting Party has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of December 31, 2007 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.
 
6.  
The Asserting Party has not identified and is not aware of any material instance of noncompliance by CBNA with the servicing criteria applicable to CBNA's activities as of December 31, 2007 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.
 
7.  
The Asserting Party has not identified any material deficiency in its policies and procedures to monitor the compliance by CBNA with the servicing criteria applicable to it as of December 31, 2007 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.

 
 

 

 

 
8.  
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report dated the date hereof on the Asserting Party’s assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of December 31, 2007 and for the Reporting Period.

Exhibit 33.2


MANAGEMENT’S ASSERTION OF COMPLIANCE


Management of the Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (collectively the “Company”) is responsible for assessing compliance with the 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 regard to the servicing platform for the period as follows:

Platform:  Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006  for which the Company provides trustee, securities administration, paying agent or custodian services, excluding any publicly issued transactions sponsored or issued by any government sponsored entity (the “Platform”).

Applicable Servicing Criteria:  All servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d), except for the following criteria: 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(v), 1122(d)(4)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(vii), 1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii), 1122(d)(4)(xiii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiv), which management has determined are not applicable to the activities the Company performs with respect to the Platform (the “Applicable Servicing Criteria”).  Servicing criterion 1122(d)(4)(iii) is applicable to the activities the Company performs with respect to the Platform only as it relates to the Company’s obligation to report additions, removals or substitutions on reports to investors in accordance with the transactions agreements.  With respect to applicable servicing criterion 1122(d)(1)(iii), there were no activities performed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 with respect to the Platform, because there were no occurrences of events that would require the Company to perform such activities.

Period:  Twelve months ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”).

Management's interpretation of Applicable Servicing Criteria:  The Company’s management has determined that servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(iii) is applicable only with respect to its continuing obligation to act as, or locate a, successor servicer under the circumstances referred to in certain governing documents.  It is management's interpretation that Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas has no other active back-up servicing responsibilities in regards to 1122(d)(1)(iii) as of and for the Period.

Third parties classified as vendors:  With respect to servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(i), 1122(d)(4)(i), and 1122(d)(4)(ii), management has engaged various vendors to perform the activities required by these servicing criteria.  The Company’s management has determined that these vendors are not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company’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 to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor.  The Company’s management 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’s management provides the following assertion of compliance with respect to the Applicable Servicing Criteria:

1.  The Company’s management is responsible for assessing the Company’s compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

2.  The Company’s management has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria, including servicing criteria for which compliance is determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above.   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.  Based on such assessment, as of and for the Period, the Company has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to the management’s assertion of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the Period.

[KPMG LLP Letterhead]

 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 
The Board of Directors
 
Citibank (South Dakota), National Association:

We have examined management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Report on Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, that Citibank (South Dakota), National Association (the “Company”) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for all asset-backed securities transactions conducted by Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust that were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 where the related asset-backed securities were outstanding during the year ending December 31, 2007 (the Platform), except for servicing criteria 1122 (d)(1)(iii), 1122 (d)(2)(iii), 1122 (d)(2)(vi), 1122 (d)(4)(x),  1122 (d)(4)(xi),  1122 (d)(4)(xii),  and 1122 (d)(4)(xiii), which the Company has determined are not applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Appendix 2 to the Report on Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria identifies the individual asset-backed transactions and securities defined by management as constituting the Platform. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment about the Company’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  Our examination included testing selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria.  Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report.  Our procedures were not designed to determine whether errors may have occurred either prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report for the selected transactions or any other transactions. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.  Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

As described in management’s assertion included in the accompanying Report on Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, for servicing criteria 1122 (d)(2)(ii), 1122 (d)(3)(ii), 1122(d)(3)(iii), and 1122(d)(3)(iv), a vendor has participated in the activities required by these servicing criteria. The Company has determined that this vendor is not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the 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, the Company has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to the vendor.  The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendor and related criteria as described in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company’s eligibility to apply Interpretation 17.06.


In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company complied with the aforementioned servicing criteria, including servicing criteria 1122 (d)(2)(ii), 1122 (d)(3)(ii), 1122(d)(3)(iii), and 1122(d)(3)(iv) for which compliance is partly determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

The Board of Directors
 
The Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and
     Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas:

We have examined the accompanying management’s assertion that the Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (collectively the “Company”) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006, for which the Company provides trustee, securities administration, paying agent or custodian services, excluding any publicly issued transactions, sponsored or issued by any government sponsored entity (the Platform), except for servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(v), 1122(d)(4)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(vii), 1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii), 1122(d)(4)(xiii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiv), which the Company has determined are not applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.  Servicing criterion 1122(d)(4)(iii) is applicable to the activities the Company performs with respect to the Platform only as it relates to the Company’s obligation to report additions, removals or substitutions on reports to investors in accordance with the transactions agreements. With respect to applicable servicing criterion 1122(d)(1)(iii), management’s assertion indicates that there were no activities performed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 with respect to the Platform, because there were no occurrence of events that would require the Company to perform such activities.  Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  Our examination included testing selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria.  Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report.  Our procedures were not designed to determine whether errors may have occurred either


 
 

 

prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report for the selected transactions or any other transactions. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.  Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

As described in the accompanying management’s assertion for servicing criteria 1122 (d)(2)(i), 1122 (d)(4)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii), the Company has engaged various vendors to perform the activities required by these servicing criteria. The Company has determined that these vendors are not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company 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, the Company 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 Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendors and related criteria as described in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company’s eligibility to apply Interpretation 17.06.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned servicing criteria, including servicing criteria 1122 (d)(2)(i), 1122 (d)(4)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii) for which compliance is determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

MANAGEMENT’S ASSERTION OF COMPLIANCE


Management of the Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (collectively the “Company”) is responsible for assessing compliance with the 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 regard to the servicing platform for the period as follows:

Platform:  Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006  for which the Company provides trustee, securities administration, paying agent or custodian services, excluding any publicly issued transactions sponsored or issued by any government sponsored entity (the “Platform”).

Applicable Servicing Criteria:  All servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d), except for the following criteria: 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(v), 1122(d)(4)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(vii), 1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii), 1122(d)(4)(xiii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiv), which management has determined are not applicable to the activities the Company performs with respect to the Platform (the “Applicable Servicing Criteria”).  Servicing criterion 1122(d)(4)(iii) is applicable to the activities the Company performs with respect to the Platform only as it relates to the Company’s obligation to report additions, removals or substitutions on reports to investors in accordance with the transactions agreements.  With respect to applicable servicing criterion 1122(d)(1)(iii), there were no activities performed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 with respect to the Platform, because there were no occurrences of events that would require the Company to perform such activities.

Period:  Twelve months ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”).

Management's interpretation of Applicable Servicing Criteria:  The Company’s management has determined that servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(iii) is applicable only with respect to its continuing obligation to act as, or locate a, successor servicer under the circumstances referred to in certain governing documents.  It is management's interpretation that Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas has no other active back-up servicing responsibilities in regards to 1122(d)(1)(iii) as of and for the Period.

Third parties classified as vendors:  With respect to servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(i), 1122(d)(4)(i), and 1122(d)(4)(ii), management has engaged various vendors to perform the activities required by these servicing criteria.  The Company’s management has determined that these vendors are not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company’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 to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor.  The Company’s management 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’s management provides the following assertion of compliance with respect to the Applicable Servicing Criteria:

1.  The Company’s management is responsible for assessing the Company’s compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

2.  The Company’s management has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria, including servicing criteria for which compliance is determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above.   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.  Based on such assessment, as of and for the Period, the Company has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to the management’s assertion of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the Period.
