Sample Owned Property and Lease Agreed-Upon Procedures
We have performed the procedures enumerated in Attachment A, which were agreed to and acknowledged as appropriate by the Property Manager, Issuers, ATLAS SP Securities, a division of Apollo Global Securities, LLC (“ATLAS SP”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (collectively, the “Specified Parties”), for the intended purpose of assisting the Specified Parties in evaluating the accuracy of certain information with respect to a pool consisting of (i) fee title to, and leasehold interests in ground leases on, commercial real estate properties (the “Owned Properties”) and (ii) each of the leases with respect to such Owned Properties and all payments required thereunder (the “Leases,” together with the Owned Properties, the “Collateral Pool”) relating to the Issuers’ securitization transaction. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all of the items of interest to a user of the report and may not meet the needs of all users of the report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The appropriateness of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the Specified Parties identified in this report. No other party acknowledged the appropriateness of the procedures. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the appropriateness of the procedures described in Attachment A, either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
The procedures performed and our associated findings are included in Attachment A.

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.
The agreed-upon procedures described in this report were not performed for the purpose of:
| a. | Satisfying any criteria for due diligence published by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (a “rating agency”) or |
| b. | Making any findings with respect to: |
| i. | Whether the origination of the Collateral Pool conformed to, or deviated from, stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria, or other requirements, |
| ii. | The value of the collateral securing the Collateral Pool, |
| iii. | Whether the originator(s) of the Collateral Pool complied with federal, state or local laws or regulations or |

Attachment A Page 1 of 4 |
Procedures performed and our associated findings
| 1. | For each Sample 2026-1 Owned Property and Lease, we compared the Sample Characteristics listed on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A, as shown on the Initial Data File, to the corresponding information located in, or to the corresponding information we recalculated using information located in, the Sources and/or Initial Data File, as applicable, subject to the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, described in the notes to Exhibit 1 to Attachment A and the succeeding paragraph(s) of this Item. Except for the information shown on Exhibit 2 to Attachment A, all such compared information was found to be in agreement. |
The Source(s) that we were instructed by the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, to use for each Sample Characteristic are indicated on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. Where more than one Source is listed for a Sample Characteristic, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, instructed us to note agreement if the value on the Initial Data File for the Sample Characteristic agreed with the (a) corresponding information in at least one of the Sources or (b) information determined using the corresponding information in more than one of the Sources that are listed for such Sample Characteristic on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. We performed no procedures to reconcile any differences that may exist between various Sources for any of the Sample Characteristics. In addition, if a particular Source contained multiple values for the same Sample Characteristic, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, instructed us to note agreement if the value on the Initial Data File for the Sample Characteristic agreed with at least one of the values in the corresponding Source. We performed no procedures to reconcile any differences that may exist between various values in a Source for any Sample Characteristic.
We performed no procedures to determine the appropriateness, accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, described in this Item.
| 2. | For (i) each commercial real estate property and lease on the 2025-1 Data File and Initial Data File, except for any Related Series Owned Property and Lease with a Property ID of “P0002356,” as shown on the 2025-1 Data File (collectively, the “P0002356 Properties”), we compared the Property ID, as shown on the 2025-1 Data File, to the corresponding Property ID, as shown on the Initial Data File, and (ii) the P0002356 Properties, we compared the contract ID, as shown on the 2025-1 Data File, to the corresponding contract ID, as shown on the Initial Data File, and noted that: |
| a. | 1,302 commercial real estate properties and leases were included on both the 2025-1 Data File and Initial Data File, 25 of which are Sample 2026-1 Owned Properties and Leases, |
| b. | 36 Related Series Owned Properties and Leases included on the 2025-1 Data File were not included on the Initial Data File and |
| c. | 79 of the Initial Owned Properties and Leases included on the Initial Data File were not included on the 2025-1 Data File, 25 of which are Sample 2026-1 Owned Properties and Leases. |
|
Attachment A Page 2 of 4 |
| 3. | For each Related Series Owned Property and Lease included on the Initial Data File, we compared the Sample Characteristics, as shown on the 2025-1 Data File, to the corresponding information, as shown on the Initial Data File, subject to the additional instruction(s) described in the succeeding paragraph(s) of this Item. All such compared information was found to be in agreement. |
For the purpose of comparing the land FT and building FT Sample Characteristics, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, instructed us to round the land FT and building FT, both as shown on the 2025-1 Data File, to the nearest square foot.
For the purpose of this procedure, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, instructed us not to compare:
| a. | The date of last bump in rent, date of next bump in rent, current consolidated payment and most recent aggregate unit FCCR Sample Characteristics due to the passage of time between the 2025-1 Statistical Cut-off Date and Statistical Cut-off Date and |
| b. | Any unique combination of Sample Characteristic and Related Series Owned Property and Lease, as shown on the Exempt Property and Lease Data Files. |
We performed no procedures to determine the appropriateness, accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, described in this Item.
| 4. | Using: |
| a. | Information on the Initial Data File, |
| b. | Information on the Excess Collateral Schedules, as applicable, and |
| c. | The instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, described in the succeeding paragraph(s) of this Item, |
we recalculated the current lease rate (the “Current Lease Rate”) of each Initial Owned Property and Lease. We compared this recalculated information to the corresponding information on the Initial Data File and found such information to be in agreement.
|
Attachment A Page 3 of 4 |
For the purpose of this procedure, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, instructed us to recalculate the Current Lease Rate of each Initial Owned Property and Lease as the quotient of the:
| i. | Product of: |
| (a) | The sum of the current consolidated payments for each unique Property ID corresponding to the same contract ID, as shown on the Initial Data File, and |
| (b) | 12 |
| divided | by |
| ii. | Sum of the: |
| (a) | Sum of the consolidated collateral values for each unique Property ID corresponding to the same contract ID, as shown on the Initial Data File, and |
| (b) | Excess collateral value corresponding to the related contract ID, as shown on the Excess Collateral Schedules, as applicable. |
For the purpose of this procedure, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, instructed us to round the current lease rate, as shown on the Initial Data File, and the Current Lease Rate, as recalculated above, of each Initial Owned Property and Lease to the nearest 0.01%.
For the purpose of this procedure, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, instructed us not to recalculate the Current Lease Rate for any Initial Owned Property and Lease with a percentage rent clause (Y/N) of “Y,” as shown on the Initial Data File.
We performed no procedures to determine the appropriateness, accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, described in this Item.
| 5. | Using: |
| a. | Information on the Initial Data File and |
| b. | The instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, described in the succeeding paragraph(s) of this Item, |
we recalculated the remaining lease term (as of cut-off date) (the “Remaining Lease Term”) of each Initial Owned Property and Lease. We compared this recalculated information to the corresponding information on the Initial Data File and found such information to be in agreement.
|
Attachment A Page 4 of 4 |
For the purpose of this procedure, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, instructed us to calculate the adjusted rent commencement date (the “Adjusted Rent Commencement Date”) of each Initial Owned Property and Lease as the:
| i. | First calendar day of the month of the rent commencement date if the rent commencement date, as shown on the Initial Data File, occurred on the first business day of the related month or |
| ii. | First calendar day of the month following the month of the rent commencement date if the rent commencement date, as shown on the Initial Data File, did not occur on the first business day of the related month. |
For the purpose of this procedure, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, instructed us to recalculate the Remaining Lease Term of each Initial Owned Property and Lease as the difference between the:
| i. | Difference in months between the: |
| (a) | Adjusted Rent Commencement Date and |
| (b) | Statistical Cut-off Date, and |
| ii. | Original lease term (months), as shown on the Initial Data File. |
We performed no procedures to determine the appropriateness, accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, described in this Item.
| 6. | As instructed by the Property Manager, on behalf of the Issuers, we removed the Initial Owned Properties and Leases from the Initial Data File with a current entity lease of “STORE Master Funding XXIX, LLC” or “STORE Master Funding XLI, LLC,” as shown on the Initial Data File. |
The Initial Data File, as adjusted, is hereinafter referred to as the “Data File” and the Initial Owned Properties and Leases on the Data File are the Owned Properties and Leases.
| 7. | For (i) each commercial real estate property and lease on the Initial Data File and Data File, except for the P0002356 Properties, we compared the Property ID, as shown on the Initial Data File, to the corresponding Property ID, as shown on the Data File, and (ii) the P0002356 Properties, we compared the contract ID, as shown on the Initial Data File, to the corresponding contract ID, as shown on the Data File, and noted that: |
| a. | 54 Initial Owned Properties and Leases included on the Initial Data File were not included on the Data File (the “Removed Owned Properties and Leases”) and |
| b. | None of the Removed Owned Properties and Leases were Sample 2026-1 Owned Properties and Leases. |
