For the purpose of the procedures described in this report, certain information contained on the Preliminary Data File and Data File collectively is the “Subject Matter” as of the date of this report. We performed certain procedures on earlier versions of the Subject Matter (as applicable) and communicated any differences prior to being provided the final Subject Matter which was subjected to the procedures described below.
The procedures included in Attachment A were limited to comparing or recalculating certain information that is further described in Attachment A. The Depositor is responsible for the Subject Matter, Provided Data Files, BPO Support Data File, Delinquency and Total Investment Basis Support Data File, Sources, Sample Characteristics, BPO Characteristics, Compared Property Characteristics and the determination of the instructions, assumptions and methodologies that are described herein. We were not requested to perform, and we have not performed, any procedures other than those listed in Attachment A. We have not verified, and we make no representation as to, the accuracy, completeness, or reasonableness of the BPO Support Data File, Delinquency and Total Investment Basis Support Data File, Sources or any other information provided to us, or that we were instructed to obtain, as applicable, by the Securitization Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, upon which we relied in forming our findings. We have not verified, and we make no representation as to, the accuracy, completeness, or reasonableness of any information related to the Loan. Accordingly, we make no representation and express no opinion or conclusion as to (a) the existence of the Loan or Properties, (b) questions of legal or tax interpretation or (c) the appropriateness, accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of any instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided to us by RBC Capital or the Securitization Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, that are described in this report. We undertake no responsibility to update this report for events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof.
This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “AICPA”). An agreed-upon procedures engagement involves the practitioner performing specific procedures that the Specified Parties have agreed to and acknowledged to be appropriate for the purpose of the engagement and reporting on findings based on the procedures performed. We were not engaged to, and did not, conduct an examination to express an opinion or a review to express a conclusion in accordance with attestation standards established by the AICPA on any of the items referred to herein. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

Attachment A |
Procedures performed and our associated findings
1. | As instructed by the Securitization Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, we randomly selected a sample of 450 Properties from the Preliminary Data File (the “Sample Properties”). For the purpose of this procedure, the Securitization Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, did not inform us as to the basis for how they determined the number of Sample Properties or the methodology they instructed us to use to select the Sample Properties from the Preliminary Data File. |
For the purpose of the procedures described in this report, the 450 Sample Properties are referred to as Sample Property Numbers 1 through 450.
2. | For each Sample Property, we compared the Sample Characteristics listed on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A, as shown on the Preliminary Data File, to the corresponding information located in, or to the corresponding information we recalculated using information located in, the Sources, subject to the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Securitization Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, described in the notes on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. The Sources that we were instructed by the Securitization Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, to use for each Sample Characteristic are shown on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. Except for the information shown on Exhibit 3 to Attachment A, all such compared information was found to be in agreement. |
3. | For each single-family residential home and property on the Preliminary Data File and Data File, we compared the information identifying each single-family residential home and property (each, a “Property ID”), as shown on the Preliminary Data File, to the corresponding Property ID, as shown on the Data File, and noted that: |
a. | All of the Properties were included on both Preliminary Data File and Data File and |
b. | No single-family residential home or property other than the Properties was included on the Preliminary Data File or Data File. |
4. | For each Sample Property, we compared the Sample Characteristics listed on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A, as shown on the Preliminary Data File, to the corresponding information, as shown on the Data File. Except for the information shown on Exhibit 4 to Attachment A, all such compared information was found to be in agreement. |
5. | For each Property, we compared the BPO Characteristics, as shown on the Data File, to the corresponding information located on the BPO Support Data File. All such compared information was found to be in agreement. |
6. | For each Property, we compared the Compared Property Characteristics listed on Exhibit 2 to Attachment A, as shown on the Data File, to the corresponding information located on the Delinquency and Total Investment Basis Support Data File, or to the corresponding information we recalculated using information on the Data File and/or Delinquency and Total Investment Basis Support Data File, as applicable, subject to the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Securitization Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, that are stated in the notes on Exhibit 2 to Attachment A.
