Item 1122. Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.

See Exhibits 33.1, 33.2, 34.1 and 34.2 under Item 15. Servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(vii)(B) requires the Servicer to prepare reconciliations within 30 calendar days of the bank statement cutoff date for the asset-backed securities related bank accounts. The Servicer followed its internal accounting procedures, which allowed reconciliation of accounts to be done up to the closing date of the accounts for the prior month. In certain months of the period covered by this report, this resulted in reconciliations being completed in slightly over 30 calendar days. The Servicer has changed its internal accounting procedures to require that all asset-backed securities related accounts will

reconciled going forward within 30 calendar days of the end of prior month or the bank statement cutoff date, whichever is later.

Item 1123. Servicer Compliance Statement.

See Exhibit 35.1 under Item 15.
