Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with 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 applicable servicing criteria and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of selected securities that comprise the Platform, testing of 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 applicable servicing criteria. 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 detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred 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. 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. Our examination disclosed the following material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d)(2)(vii)(B) of Regulation AB applicable to the Company during year ended December 31, 2006. Account reconciliations for all asset-backed securities related bank accounts were not prepared within 30 calendar days after the bank statement cutoff date, or such other number of days specified in the transaction agreements as required by Item 1122(d)(2)(vii)(B) of Regulation AB. In our opinion, except for the material instance of noncompliance described in the preceding paragraph, First American Real Estate Solutions of Texas, L.P. complied with the aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 for all loans for residential mortgage loan outsourcing customers for which the Company served as the residential tax service provider, in all material respects. /s/ Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP February 28, 2007
