Due diligence agreed-upon procedures

On July 10, 2025, and with updates through July 28, 2025, the Company provided us with a computer readable data file (the “Data File”) containing certain characteristics of the pool of automobile lease receivables (the “Automobile Receivables”) included in the Securitization Transaction. We performed the procedures indicated below on the Automobile Receivables.

We selected 150 Automobile Receivables (the “Sample Receivables”) on a random basis from the Data File. For each of the Sample Receivables, we performed comparisons for certain characteristics (as identified in Exhibit 1) to certain available source documents (the “Source Documents”).

We noted no discrepancies between the Data File and the Source Documents.
