We randomly selected a sample of Student Loans from the Data File, utilizing a confidence level of 95.0%, an expected error rate of 3.0%, and a maximum estimated error occurrence rate (the upper error limit) for each of the attributes not to exceed 5.0%, as instructed by the Bank, using a random sampling tool. The selection criteria resulted in a sample of 361 Student Loans (the “Selected Student Loans”). A listing of the Selected Student Loans is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

For each Selected Student Loan, we compared or recomputed the specified attributes in the Data File listed below in the Attributes column to or using the corresponding information included in the Sources, utilizing the Instructions, as applicable, listed in the Sources/ Instructions column.

We found such information to be in agreement without exception.

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 71,818 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

  

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” field on the #EDH Screen indicated a date equal to the most recent cycle date, compare the “Outstanding Principal Amount” field in the Data File to the sum of
