The procedures we were instructed by the Company to perform and the associated findings are as follows:

 

A.We randomly selected a sample of Receivables from the Data File, utilizing a confidence level of 99.0%, an expected error rate of 2.0%, and a maximum estimated error occurrence rate (the upper error limit) for each of the attributes not to exceed 5.0%, as instructed by the Company. The selection criteria resulted in a sample of 287 Receivables (the “Selected Receivables”). A listing of the Selected Receivables is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

B.For each Selected Receivable, we compared or recomputed the specified attributes from the Data File listed below to or using the corresponding information included in the Receivable File, until agreed, utilizing the Data File Instructions, as applicable. The Specified Parties indicated that the absence of any of the information in the Receivable File or the inability to agree the indicated information from the Data File to the Receivable File for each of the attributes identified, utilizing the Data File Instructions, as applicable, constituted an exception. The Receivable File documents are listed in the order of priority.

Data File Instructions

 

Attribute Data File Instructions
Number of Payments In the event the Number of Payments did not agree to the number stated in the Installment Sale Contract, compare the Number of Payments to the number stated in the “Original Term” field on the “Contract Information” screen shot from AHFC Systems.
Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”) In the event the APR did not agree to the percentage stated in the Installment Sale Contract, compare the APR to the percentage stated in the Revised Truth-In Lending Disclosures and Correction(s) to Your Account Letter, or recompute the APR by subtracting the applicable percentage stated in the Rate Modifier section and adding the applicable percentage on the Max Rate Markup line from the percentage stated in the Program Rate line in the Origenate Approval Form. We compared the recomputed APR to the APR in the Data File.
New vs. Used Consider an entry of “C” or “U” in the Data File to be a Used vehicle, and an entry of “N” in the Data File to be a New vehicle.
Loan Type (Simple Interest) In the event Loan Type was not stated in the Installment Sale Contract, the Company informed us that Simple Interest is the only Loan Type available in AHFC Systems.
Original Maturity Date In the event the Original Maturity Date was not stated in the Installment Sale Contract, recompute the Original Maturity Date by adding the Original Term per the Installment Sale Contract to the First Payment Date stated in the Installment Sale Contract. We compared the recomputed Original Maturity Date to the Original Maturity Date in the Data File.
Current Maturity Date In the event the Current Maturity Date did not agree to the date stated in the Installment Sale Contract (i.e., the Original Maturity Date) or the recomputed Original Maturity Date, compare the Current Maturity Date to the date stated in the screen shot from AHFC Systems as of the Initial Cutoff Date.
Legal Owner or Lien Holder Name Consider variations due to spelling, abbreviation, truncation, punctuation of the full legal name as well as the addition of the PO Box city name to be acceptable.

Attribute XML File Instructions
Original Interest Rate Percentage, Next Interest Rate Percentage, and Reporting Period Interest Rate Percentage In the event the Original Interest Rate Percentage, Next Interest Rate Percentage, and/or Reporting Period Interest Rate Percentage did not agree to the percentage stated in the Installment Sale Contract, compare the Original Interest Rate Percentage, Next Interest Rate Percentage, and/or Reporting Period Interest Rate Percentage to the percentage stated in the Revised Truth-In Lending Disclosures and Correction(s) to Your Account Letter, or recompute the Original Interest Rate Percentage, Next Interest Rate Percentage, and/or Reporting Period Interest Rate Percentage by subtracting the applicable percentage stated in the Rate Modifier section and adding the applicable percentage on the Max Rate Markup line from the percentage stated in the Program Rate line in the Origenate Approval Form. We compared the recomputed Original Interest Rate Percentage, Next Interest Rate Percentage, and/or Reporting Period Interest Rate Percentage to the Original Interest Rate Percentage, Next Interest Rate Percentage, and/or Reporting Period Interest Rate Percentage in the XML File.
Origination Date Compare the month and year of the Origination Date in the XML File to the month and year of the Origination Date in the Receivable File.
First Payment Date Compare the month and year of the First Payment Date in the XML File to the month and year of the First Payment Date in the Receivable File.
Maturity Date Compare the month and year of the Maturity Date in the XML File to the month and year of the Current Maturity Date in the Receivable File.
Original Loan Term Recompute the Original Loan Term as the difference in months between the “DATEMAT” and the “DATEORIG” fields in the Data File. We compared the recomputed Original Loan Term to the Original Loan Term in the XML File.
Grace Period Number Recompute the Grace Period Number as the difference in months between the “DATEFPAY” and the “DATEORIG” fields in the Data File. We compared the recomputed Grace Period Number to the Grace Period Number in the XML File.
Subvented Compare the “Original Unearned Amount” field in the “Accrual Group” screen shot from AHFC Systems to the value in the “subvented” field in the XML File. If the “Original Unearned Amount” field contained an amount greater than zero, consider the Selected Receivable as Subvented. If the “Original Unearned Amount” field was blank, consider the Selected Receivable as not Subvented.

Current Delinquency Status

In the event the “Total Days Past Due” field in the “Delinquency Summary” screen shot from AHFC Systems did not agree to the value in the “currentDelinquencyStatus” field in the XML File, recompute the Current Delinquency Status by subtracting the latest payment due date prior to the Initial Cutoff Date in the “Payment History” screen shot from AHFC Systems from the Initial Cutoff Date. Compare the recomputed Current Delinquency Status to the “Current Delinquency Status” field in the XML File.

 

In the event the recomputed Current Delinquency Status did not agree to the value in the “currentDelinquencyStatus” field in the XML File, the Company informed us that the difference is due to the timing of payment processing or payment reversal.

 

To determine the day a payment is posted, a cut-off time is established a few hours before the end of the day to allow for batch processing and reconciliation of payments in AHFC systems. When the cut-off time is reached, the Current Delinquency Status in AHFC Systems is advanced by one day (or two days on Monday to account for Sunday being a non-processing day) to reflect the Current Delinquency Status at the end of the day, and payments received after the cut-off time will have a posting date of the following day.

 

For purposes of comparing Current Delinquency Status for such instances, recompute the Current Delinquency Status by adding the number of days between the Initial Cutoff Date and the date the payment was processed/posted in AHFC Systems to the Current Delinquency Status in AHFC Systems as of the immediately preceding day before the Initial Cutoff Date. We compared the recomputed Current Delinquency Status to the “Current Delinquency Status” field in the XML File.

 

In the event a payment was made prior to the Initial Cutoff Date and was subsequently reversed after the Initial Cutoff Date, observe the effective date of the payment reversal on the “Payment History” screen shot from AHFC Systems. We then compared the “Total Days Past Due” field in the “Delinquency Summary” screen shot from AHFC Systems as of the effective date of the payment reversal to the “currentDelinquencyStatus” field in the XML File.
