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.                                

Although each servicing criterion required by Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB is  
addressed in one or more of the Assessments of Compliance with Servicing        
Criteria and related Attestation Reports included with this report, the         
Assessment of Compliance of Indymac Bank, F.S.B. (the "Servicer") and related   
Attestation Report did not address each of the servicing criteria that the      
Servicer was required to address under the terms of the related Servicing       
Agreement. The Servicer has not identified such failure to provide an           
Assessment and Attestation for these items as a material failure to fulfill its 
obligations under the related servicing agreement in the Servicer's Compliance  
Statement provided under Item 1123 of Regulation AB, because the Servicer       
asserts that those items are not applicable to the Servicer.                    

Item 1123 of Regulation AB, Servicer Compliance Statement.                      

The servicer compliance statements are attached hereto under Item 15.
