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 Leases conformed to, or deviated from, stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria or other requirements,

 

  ii.

The value of the collateral securing the Leases,

 

  iii.

Whether the originator(s) of the Leases complied with federal, state or local laws or regulations or

 

  iv.

Any other factor or characteristic of the Leases that would be material to the likelihood that the issuer of the Notes will pay interest and principal in accordance with applicable terms and conditions.

We are required to be independent of the Sponsor and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, as applicable, for agreed-upon procedures engagements set forth in the Preface: Applicable to All Members and Part 1 – Members in Public Practice of the Code of Professional Conduct established by the AICPA. Independence requirements for agreed-upon procedures engagements are less restrictive than independence requirements for audit and other attestation services.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Specified Parties and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than the Specified Parties. It is not intended to be, and should not be, used by any other person or entity, including investors and rating agencies, who are not identified in the report as Specified Parties but who may have access to this report as required by law or regulation.

Procedures performed and our associated findings

 

1.

As instructed by GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, we randomly selected a sample of 150 Leases from the Base Data File (the “Sample Leases”). For the purpose of this procedure, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, did not inform us as to the basis for how they determined the number of Sample Leases or the methodology they instructed us to use to select the Sample Leases from the Base Data File.

For the purpose of the procedures described in this report, the 150 Sample Leases are referred to as Sample Lease Numbers 1 through 150.

 

2.

As instructed by GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, we appended the information for each Sample Lease on the Base Data File, as applicable, with the corresponding information, all as shown on the Identification Sample Data File, as applicable. The Base Data File, as adjusted, is hereinafter referred to as the “Data File.”

 

3.

For each Sample Lease, we:

 

  a.

Compared the Sample Characteristics listed on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A, as shown on the Data File, to the corresponding information located in, or to the corresponding information we recalculated using information located in, the Source Documents, subject to the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, described in the notes to Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. The Source Document(s) that we were instructed by GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, to use for each Sample Characteristic are shown on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. All such compared information was found to be in agreement.

 

  b.

Observed the existence of Vehicle Ownership Documentation.

 

  c.

Observed that “General Motors Financial of Canada, Ltd. (or d/b/a)” was the named lien holder or owner, as shown in the Vehicle Ownership Documentation, or that the lien holder has assigned the vehicle corresponding to such Sample Lease to “General Motors Financial of Canada, Ltd. (or d/b/a),” as shown in the Vehicle Ownership Documentation, subject to the additional instruction(s) provided by GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, described in the succeeding paragraph(s).

For the purpose of this procedure, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to ignore differences that appear to be due to abbreviation, truncation or spelling errors.

 

  d.

Observed the existence of a Credit Application.

  e.

Observed that the Origination System Screen Shots contained a credit bureau report summary.

 

  f.

Observed the existence of an Agreement to Provide Insurance or observed that the Lease Agreement contained a section titled “Insurance you must have on the vehicle” (except for the Sample Leases described in the succeeding paragraph of this Item).

For Sample Leases that an Agreement to Provide Insurance was not provided or that the Lease Agreement did not contain a section titled “Insurance you must have on the vehicle,” we observed that proof of insurance was noted in the Vehicle Ownership Documentation.

For the purpose of comparing the vehicle identification number, maturity date, original term to maturity, monthly base rent payment, model type (new/used), vehicle make, vehicle model, vehicle year, province, contract residual and contract date Sample Characteristics for which GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, provided us with more than one Lease Agreement, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to note agreement if the value on the Data File agreed with the corresponding information on at least one of the Lease Agreements. We performed no procedures to reconcile any differences that may exist between the Lease Agreements for the indicated Sample Characteristics.

 

iii.

For the purpose of comparing the maturity date Sample Characteristic, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to:

 

  a.

Note agreement if the maturity date, as shown on the Data File, is the 1st of the month following a maturity date that falls on the 29th, 30th or 31st day of the month, or on the 28th day of February, as shown in the Lease Agreement, and

 

  b.

Ignore differences of +/- 1 day.

 

iv.

For the purpose of comparing the monthly base rent payment, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to use the base rent, as shown in the Servicing System Screen Shots, or, if the Servicing System Screen Shots did not contain the base rent, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to recalculate the monthly base rent payment by subtracting the:

 

  a.

Earned taxes from

 

  b.

Regular payment,

both as shown in the Servicing System Screen Shots.

 

v.

For the purpose of comparing the model type (new/used) Sample Characteristic, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to note agreement with a model type (new/used) of “N” or “D,” as shown on the Data File, if the corresponding model type (new/used), as shown in the Lease Agreement, was “demonstrator” or “demo,” as applicable.

 

vi.

For the purpose of comparing the vehicle make, vehicle model and province Sample Characteristics, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to ignore differences that appear to be due to abbreviation, truncation or spelling errors.

 

vii.

For the purpose of comparing the contract date Sample Characteristic, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to:

 

  a.

Use the contract date next to the borrower’s signature, as shown in the Lease Agreement, and

 

  b.

Ignore differences of +/- 1 day.

 

viii.

GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us not to compare the bureau score Sample Characteristic for any Sample Lease with a bureau score of <blank> or “0,” as shown on the Data File.


     

Exhibit 1 to Attachment A

ix.

For the purpose of comparing the contract rate Sample Characteristic, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to ignore differences of +/- 0.01% or less.

 

x.

For the purpose of comparing the remaining term to maturity Sample Characteristic for each Sample Lease with a payment type of “monthly,” as shown in the Servicing System Screen Shots (except for Sample Lease Numbers 92 and 104), GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to use the Servicing System Screen Shots as the Source Document, subject to the additional instruction(s) described in the succeeding paragraph(s) of this note.

For the purpose of comparing the remaining term to maturity Sample Characteristic for Sample Lease Numbers 92 and 104, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to recalculate the remaining term to maturity by subtracting the:

 

  a.

Number of billed monthly base payments prior to the Cutoff Date, subject to the additional instruction(s) described in the succeeding paragraph(s) of this note, from

 

  b.

Original term to maturity, as shown in the Servicing System Screen Shots.

For the purpose of this procedure, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to calculate the number of billed monthly base payments prior to the Cutoff Date for Sample Lease Number 92 as the difference in months between the:

 

  (1)

Lease date, as shown in the Lease Agreement, and

 

  (2)

Cutoff Date.

For the purpose of this procedure, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to calculate the number of billed monthly base payments prior to the Cutoff Date for Sample Lease Number 104 as the difference in months between the:

 

  (1)

Contract date, as shown in the Lease Agreement, and

 

  (2)

Cutoff Date.

For the purpose of comparing the remaining term to maturity Sample Characteristic for each Sample Lease with a payment type of “bi-weekly,” as shown in the Servicing System Screen Shots (except for Sample Lease Numbers 4, 20, 23, 31, 32, 33, 48, 57, 59, 71, 74, 84, 108, 128 and 133), GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to recalculate the remaining term to maturity by:

 

  a.

Dividing the:

 

  (1)

Remaining term to maturity, as shown in the Servicing System Screen Shots, by

 

  (2)

The quotient of 26 and 12 and

 

  b.

Truncating the result obtained above to the nearest integer,

subject to the additional instruction(s) described in the succeeding paragraph(s) of this note.

For the purpose of comparing the remaining term to maturity Sample Characteristic for Sample Lease Numbers 4, 20, 23, 31, 32, 33, 48, 57, 59, 71, 74, 84, 108, 128 and 133, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to recalculate the remaining term to maturity by:

 

  a.

Dividing the:

 

  (1)

Remaining term to maturity, as shown in the Servicing System Screen Shots, by

 

  (2)

The quotient of 26 and 12 and

 

  b.

Rounding the result obtained above to the nearest integer,

subject to the additional instruction(s) described in the succeeding paragraph(s) of this note.

GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, indicated that certain of the Servicing System Screen Shots contained account activity that occurred after the Cutoff Date. For the purpose of comparing or recalculating, as applicable, the remaining term to maturity Sample Characteristic, GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, instructed us to only consider account activity shown in the Servicing System Screen Shots that occurred on or prior to the Cutoff Date.

We performed no procedures to determine the accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of the instructions, assumptions and methodologies provided by GMF, on behalf of the Sponsor, described in the notes above.
