ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE SERVICING CRITERIA
Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (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. The Company 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, exduding any publicly issued transactions issued by any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government or any government sponsored entity, and further excluding the transactions issued prior to 2006 for which Wells Fargo outsources all material servicing activities (as defined by Regulation AB) (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)(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: As of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 (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 these vendors are a “services’ 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 the 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. 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 Company’s assessment of compliance as of and for the Period.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC:
We have examined Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC’s (“Chrysler Financial”) compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB related to the servicing of publicly and privately issued asset-backed securities transactions involving United States consumer automotive retail installment sale contracts for which Chrysler Financial acts as servicer (the “Platform”), except for servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(vi), 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 Chrysler Financial performs with respect to the Platform, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. Management is responsible for Chrysler Financial’s compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Chrysler Financial’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 Chrysler Financials 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 Chrysler Financial 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 Chrysler Financial 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 Chrysler Financial 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 Chrysler Financial’s compliance with the servicing criteria.
As described in the accompanying management’s Certification Regarding Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, for servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(i), 1122(d)(4)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii), Chrysler Financial has engaged various vendors to perform activities required by these servicing criteria. Chrysler Financial has determined that none of these vendors is considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and Chrysler Financial has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to these vendors 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, Chrysler Financial has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that each vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor. Chrysler Financial is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for each vendor and related

 


 

criteria as described in its Certification Regarding Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, and we performed no procedures with respect to Chrysler Financial’s eligibility to apply Interpretation 17.06.
Our examination disclosed the following material noncompliance with servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(vii)(B) and 1122(d)(4)(vi), as applicable to Chrysler Financial during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009:
  With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(vii)(B), certain reconciliations were not prepared within 30 calendar days of the bank statement cut-off date.
 
  With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(4)(vi), certain changes to the terms of obligors’ pool assets were not made and approved in accordance with Chrysler Financial’s policies and procedures as required by the transaction agreements.
In our opinion, except for the instances of material noncompliance described above, Chrysler Financial complied, in all material respects, 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, 2009.

Exhibit 34.2
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
The Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association:
We have examined management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, that The Corporate Trust Services division of Wells Fargo Bank, 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 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 and further excluding the transactions issued prior to 2006 for which Wells Fargo outsources all material servicing activities (as defined by Regulation AB) (the Platform), except for servicing criteria 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 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, 2009. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the 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 the accompanying management’s Assessment of Compliance With Applicable Servicing Criteria, for servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(i), the Company has engaged a vendor to perform 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 this 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 each 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)(4)(i) for which compliance is determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
