The information regarding the Selected Student Loans was found to be in agreement with the respective information contained in the Sources. Based on the results of the procedures performed, there is a 95.0% confidence level that the maximum estimated error occurrence rate for each of the attributes across the entire population of 119,178 Student Loans does not exceed 5.0%. Because we are not engaged to express a conclusion, we do not offer a conclusion based on the application of a sampling technique.
 
We were engaged by the Bank to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement. We conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which involves us performing the specific procedures agreed to and acknowledged above and reporting on findings based on performing those procedures. We were not engaged to, and did not, conduct an examination or review, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the specified attributes in the Data File. 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.
 
We are required to be independent of the Bank and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our agreed-upon procedures engagement.
 
The procedures performed were applied based on the information included in the Data File, and Provided Information, without verification or evaluation of such information by us; therefore, we express no opinion or any other form of assurance regarding (i) the reasonableness of the information provided to us by the Bank, (ii) the physical existence of the Student Loans, (iii) the reliability or accuracy of the Provided Information which was used in our procedures, or (iv) matters of legal interpretation.
 
The procedures performed were not intended to address, nor did they address: (i) the conformity of the origination of the Student Loans to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria or other requirements, (ii) the value of collateral securing any such Student Loans being securitized, (iii) the compliance of the originator of the Student Loans with federal, state, and local laws and regulations, or (iv) any other factor or characteristic of the Student Loans that would be material to the likelihood that the issuer of the asset-backed security will pay interest and principal in accordance with applicable terms and conditions. The procedures performed were not intended to satisfy any criteria for due diligence published by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”).
 
The terms of our engagement are such that we have no responsibility to update this report because of events and circumstances that may subsequently occur.
 
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Specified Parties. It is not intended to be and should not be used by any other person or entity, including investors or the NRSROs, who are not identified in the report as the Specified Parties but may have access to this report as required by law or regulation.

Instructions
Social Security Number and Signature(s) on the Promissory Note
a) Compare the Social Security Number in the “Borrower SSN” field in the Data File to the Social Security Number on the Promissory Note,

b) Compare the Original Principal Balance in the “Total Disbursement Amount” field in the Data File to the Loan Amount on the Promissory Note, and

c) Observe Signature(s) on the Promissory Note.

In the event, the Loan Amount listed on the Promissory Note either was not listed or was lower than the Original Principal Balance indicated in the Data File, locate the Final Disclosure correspondence, the Counter Offer Modification Notification, or the Agreement to Increase the Total Loan Amount within the ENCORE System, for which the Application ID matched the Application ID on the Promissory Note signed by either the borrowers or coborrowers.

In the event, the Social Security Number contained on the Promissory Note did not agree to the “Borrower SSN” field in the Data File, locate the SSN card correspondence or the Credit Bureau Report, for which the SSN matched the SSN in the Data File.

In the event the Promissory Note for a Selected Student Loan was not available, the Bank instructed us to not perform procedures to compare the Social Security Number and Signature(s) on the Promissory Note. The Promissory Note was available for all Selected Student Loans.

Original Principal Balance
Compare the Original Principal Balance in the “Total Disbursement Amount” field in the Data File to the amount displayed in the “TLDSBAMT” field in the “OTHER” option on the #HDI Screen. In the event the Original Principal Balance in the Data File did not agree, compare as follows:

a) For Selected Student Loans originated after July 2013, compare to the sum of all “LOAN DISBURSMENT” amounts displayed on the #CSS Screen, or

b) For Selected Student Loans originated in or prior to July 2013, compare to the amount displayed in the “FINANCIAL INSTITUTION” field on the #NM CC Screen.

Current Principal Balance
Compare the Current Principal Balance in the “Outstanding Principal Amount” field in the Data File to the “ACCOUNT BALANCE” field on the #CSS Screen, or the "CUR BAL" field on the #BS Screen. In the event the information did not agree, recompute the Current Principal Balance (the “Recomputed Current Principal Balance”) as follows:



Attribute
Instructions
 
a)    Read the date in the “EFF-DT” field on the #CPH Screen to identify if there was (i) a payment made after the cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen and one day following the Cutoff Date or (ii) any “PAYMENT REVERSAL” amounts on the #CDS Screen;

1)     If a payment was made based on procedure (a), recompute accrued interest as the product of

(i)      the “INT_RT” field on the #EDH Screen,

(ii)     “ACCOUNT BALANCE” field on the #CSS Screen, and

(iii)    a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference in the number of days between the cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen and the effective date of the transaction indicated in the “EFF-DT” field on the #CPH Screen minus one, and a denominator of 365 or 366 (i.e., the total number of days in the given calendar year of the payment made per a (i));

2)    In case of a (i), add the recomputed accrued interest from procedure (1), as applicable, to the “TOTAL ACCOUNT BALANCE” field as of the cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen (which represents the “ACCOUNT BALANCE” plus the interest accrued between the “ACCOUNT BALANCE” date and the cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen), and subtract the payment amount stated in the “AMOUNT-PAID” field on the #CPH Screen, as applicable, from the result.
In case of a (ii), subtract the recomputed accrued interest from procedure (1), as applicable, from the “PAYMENT REVERSAL” amounts on the #CDS Screen to arrive at the principal portion of the amount, and subtract the result from the “ACCOUNT BALANCE” field on the #CSS Screen.

b)     In the event the Recomputed Current Principal Balance calculated in step (a) did not agree, compare the “Outstanding Principal Amount” field in the Data File to the sum of

1)    the “ACCOUNT BALANCE” field on the #CSS Screen and

2)    the total of all “LOAN DISBURSEMENT” amounts on the #CDS Screen;

c)     In the event the Recomputed Current Principal Balance calculated in step (b) did not agree, compare the “Outstanding Principal Amount” field in the Data File to the difference of

1)    the “TOTAL ACCOUNT BALANCE” field on the #CSS Screen and

2)    the total of all “FORBEARANCE PAYMENT” amounts on the #CDS Screen;

d)     In the event the Recomputed Current Principal Balance calculated in step (c) did not agree, if the “CAP” field on the #EDH Screen indicated “C” and the “DATE”

1)    the “ACCOUNT BALANCE” field on the #CSS Screen and

2)    the “CAP INT” field on the #ED2 Screen;

e)     In the event the Recomputed Current Principal Balance calculated in step (d) did not agree, compare the “Outstanding Principal Amount” field in the Data File to the sum of

1)    the total of all “PAYMENT REVERSAL” amounts on the #CDS Screen and

2)    the “TOTAL ACCOUNT BALANCE” field on the #CSS Screen minus the “ACCRUED INTEREST” amount on the #CSS Screen minus the “CAP INT” field on the #ED2 Screen, where the “CAP” field on the #EDH Screen indicated “R” and the “DATE” field on the #EDH Screen indicated a date within four (4) months of the Cutoff Date;

f)     In the event the Recomputed Current Principal Balance calculated in step (e) did not agree, compare the “Outstanding Principal Amount” field in the Data File to the sum of the ending balances in the “CASH ADB 1&2” field and the “MRCH ADB 1&2” field on the #ED2 Screen; or,

g)    In the event the Recomputed Current Principal Balance calculated in step (f) did not agree, recompute the “Current Principal Balance” as follows:

1)    Recompute accrued interest as the product of (i) the “INT_RT” field on the #EDH Screen, (ii) “ACCOUNT BALANCE” field on the #CSS Screen, and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference in the number of days between the most recent payment date and prior payment date indicated on the #CSS Screen, and a denominator of 365 or 366 (i.e., the total number of days in the calendar year of the most recent payment date per g (1)(iii));

2)    Subtract the Unpaid Interest & Fees stated in the Loan Summary from the payment amount stated in the “AMOUNT-PAID” field on the #CPH Screen;

3)    Subtract the recomputed accrued interest from procedure (1) from the remaining payment amount, if any; and,

4)     Subtract any remaining payment amount from the account balance stated in the “ACCOUNT BALANCE” field on the #CSS Screen.

Loan Status
Compare Loan Status in the “Payment Loan Status” field in the Data File as follows:

a)    If the repayment type contained in the “MISC FIELD 2” field on the #BS3 Screen indicated “SOIOP” or “PPIOP” (indicating Interest Only) or “F0025” or “FX025” (indicating Fixed Payment) or blank, and the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the

 #EDH Screen did not indicate “DMIP,” “GRPM” or “F***,” the Loan Status was “In-Repayment”;

b)    If the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the #EDH Screen System indicated “SSP*” or “SSG*,” the Loan Status was “In-Repayment”; or,

c)    Compare to the status contained in the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the #EDH Screen.

In the event the Loan Status did not agree, identify a notation of status change on the #CIS Screen. If the status changed after the Cutoff Date, and the notation of the previous draw period on #CIS Screen was (1) before the Cutoff Date, the Loan Status was “GRCE” as of the Cutoff Date; or (2) after the Cutoff Date, the Loan Status was “SCHL” as of the Cutoff Date.

Current Status End Date
Recompute the Current Status End Date (the “Recomputed Current Status End Date”) as follows:

a)    If the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the #EDH Screen was “SCHL,” recompute the Current Status End Date as the first cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen after the date in the “CURR: GRAD/SEP DT” field on the #EDH Screen;

b)    If the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the #EDH Screen was “GRCE,” recompute the Current Status End Date as the first cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen after the date in the “RPMT BEGIN DT” field on the #EDH Screen, or the date 6 months after the “DRAW PERIOD END DATE” field on the #CSS Screen;

c)    If the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the #EDH Screen was “GRPM,” “DINT,” “DSCH,” “F***”, “SSPA,” or “SSGR,”

1)  If the Start Date of the Method Override on the #EDH Screen was before the Cutoff Date, recompute the Current Status End Date as the first cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen on or after the “METHOD OVERRIDE END DATE” indicated in the “RULS MIN PAY (CP PO RM)” field on the #NPO Screen;

2)  If the Start Date of the Method Override on the #EDH Screen was after the Cutoff Date, recompute the Current Status End Date as the first cycle date after the Cutoff Date;

d)    If the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the #EDH Screen was “RPMT,” “D***” (except “DINT” and “DSCH”), or “SSP*” (except “SSPA”), recompute the Current Status End Date as the first cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen after the date in the “MATURITY DT” field on the #EDH Screen; or,



Attribute
Instructions
 
e)    In the event the recomputed Current Status End Date calculated in procedures (a), (b), (c), or (d) did not agree to the “Current Borrower Status End Date” field in the Data File, calculate the Recomputed Current Status End Date as follows:

1)  Identify a notation of status change that affected the loan status after the Cutoff Date (i.e., retro Forbearance) on the #CIS Screen and recompute the Current Status End Date as the first cycle date after the loan status “End Date” indicated on the #CIS Screen.

2)  If a notation of status change that affects the loan status after the Cutoff date was not available, the “STAT” field on the #EDH Screen indicated “SSGR” and the “TYPE” field on the #EDH Screen indicated “FB,” recompute the Current Status End Date as the first cycle date after the Cutoff Date.

Remaining Term

a)    If the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the #EDH Screen indicated “In-School” or “In-Grace” and the “MISC FIELD 2” field on the #BS3 Screen indicated “Deferred Loan,” compare to the value in the “#9” field on the #NM CC Screen;

b)    If the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the #EDH Screen started with a “D” or “F,” recompute as the difference in months1 between the next cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen and the first cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen following the maturity date indicated in the “MATURITY DT” field on the #EDH Screen;

c)    Otherwise,

1)    recompute as the difference in months1 between the current cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen and the first cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen following the maturity date indicated in the “MATURITY DT” field on the #EDH Screen;

2)   If the Cutoff Date is after the current due date indicated in the “DUE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen, minus 1 from the result from step (c1) above.

In the event  the “CURR LOAN STAT” field on the #EDH Screen started with a “D” and the “MISC FIELD 2” field on the #BS3 Screen was “SOIOP,” “PPIOP,” “F0025,” or “FX025,” adding to the result from step (a), (b), or (c) above to the difference in months1 between the current cycle date indicated in the “CYCLE DATE” field on the #CSS Screen and the “METHOD OVERRIDE END DATE” indicated in the “RULS MIN PAY (CP PO RM)” field on the #NPO Screen.
