Management is responsible for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage's compliance with those minimum standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about Wells Fargo Home Mortgage's compliance based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about Wells Fargo Home Mortgage's compliance with the minimum servicing standards specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on Wells Fargo Home Mortgage's compliance with the minimum servicing standards. In our opinion, management's assertion that Wells Fargo Home Mortgage complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standard as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, is fairly stated, in all material respects. /s/ KPMG LLP February 25, 2003 KPMG LLP.
