Each of Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC (“Chrysler Financial”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Deutsche Bank,” together with Chrysler Financial, each, a “Servicing Participant”) has been identified by the registrant as a party participating in the servicing function during the reporting period with respect to the pool assets held by the issuing entity. Each Servicing Participant has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant (each, a “Report on Assessment”) as of December 31, 2008 and for the reporting period, which Reports on Assessment are attached as Exhibits 33.1 and 34.1 to this report on Form 10-K. In addition, each Servicing Participant has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by a registered independent public accounting firm on its Report on Assessment. The Attestation Reports are attached as Exhibits 33.2 and 34.2 to this report on Form 10-K.

The Report on Assessment and the Attestation Report for Chrysler Financial has identified several material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria described in such Report on Assessment as being applicable to Chrysler Financial. Those material instances of noncompliance are as follows:

	•		With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(i), certain payments on pool assets were not deposited into the appropriate custodial bank accounts and related bank clearing accounts within two business days of receipt.

	•		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)(3)(i)(A), in certain instances investor reports were not delivered to other transaction parties in accordance with the timeframes set forth in the transaction agreements.

The Report on Assessment and the Attestation Report for Deutsche Bank has identified one material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria described in such Report on Assessment as being applicable to Deutsche Bank. The material instance of noncompliance is as follows: for servicing criterion 1122(d)(1)(i), policies and procedures were not instituted to monitor certain events of default in that notification of the event of default was not provided to the certificateholders within the timeframe required by the transaction agreements. To the knowledge of the issuing entity, such material instance of noncompliance did not relate to any asset-backed securities issued by the issuing entity.
