We (“us” or “PwC”) have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by Equify Financial LLC (the “Company,” as the engaging party) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. who are collectively referred to herein as the “Specified Parties”, solely to assist you in connection with the accuracy of certain attributes of a sample of collateral assets which may be included in the potential issuance of asset-backed notes collateralized by a pool of equipment loans and leases, and related property, by Equify ABS 2026-1, LLC (the “Transaction”). The Company (the “Responsible Party”) is responsible for the accuracy of certain attributes of a sample of collateral assets which may be included in the Transaction.
In an agreed-upon procedures engagement, we perform specific procedures that the Specified Parties have agreed to and acknowledged to be appropriate for the intended purpose of the engagement and we report on findings based on the procedures performed. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The Specified Parties have agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose.
Procedures and Findings
In connection with the Transaction, the Specified Parties agreed on a sample size of 50 equipment loan and lease receivables (the “Preliminary Sample Receivables”). The Company instructed us to select the sample randomly from a preliminary data tape containing 369 equipment loan and lease receivables (“ABS 26-1_Data_Tape_07.31.2026_FINAL.xlsx”), as provided to us by the Company (the “Data Tape”). The Company represents that the Data Tape is as of July 31, 2026 (the “Cutoff Date”).
Subsequent to the selection of the Preliminary Sample Receivables, the Company informed us that five of the Preliminary Sample Receivables numbered 18, 23, 24, 29, and 39, were removed from the final pool of equipment loan and lease receivables. At the instruction of the Company, we randomly selected five replacement equipment loan and lease receivables designated as Sample Receivables 51 through 55 (the “Replacement Sample Receivables”) from a list of equipment loan and lease receivables provided to us by the Company in the file “ABS 26-1_Data_Tape_09.30.2026_Sent_PwC.” The Preliminary Sample Receivables and Replacement Sample Receivables are referred to herein as the “Sample Receivables.”

Remaining Number of Payments methodology: We recalculated the Remaining Number of Payments by subtracting the “Number of Pymts Made,” as reflected in the ILS Screenshots, from the Original Term reflected in the Data Tape.
For the purpose of this calculation we performed the following procedures as instructed by the Company:
| |
|
| | For Sample Receivables 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 30, 31, 42, 43, 45, 48, and 49: The Company advised us that contracts booked in the ILS system include an additional payment (referred to by the Company as a “ghost payment”). Accordingly, we subtracted one payment from the “Number of Pymts Made” field reflected within the ILS Screenshots in order to recalculate the Remaining Number of Payments. |
| | For Sample Receivables 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48, and 50: The Remaining Term Screenshots File provided by the Company contained payment history identifying ghost payments, as applicable, and payments made after the Cutoff Date that remained reflected in the “Number of Pymts Made” field. Accordingly, we adjusted the number of payments made for such items in our recalculation of the Remaining Number of Payments. |

Accordingly, we adjusted the number of payments made for such items in our recalculation of the Remaining Number of Payments. |
We noted 3 exceptions for procedure A, which are outlined in Exhibit A.
| B. | For each Sample Receivable, we observed a signature next to the “borrower” section of the Contract. We noted no exceptions, and we make no comment as to the authenticity or validity of any signature. |
