The Company is responsible for the specified attributes identified by the Company in the Data File. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the Specified Parties.

We performed the following procedures:
 
A.
The Company instructed us to select a random sample of 50 Containers (the “Sample Containers”) from the Data File.  A listing of the Sample Containers is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  For purposes of this procedure, the Company did not inform us as to the basis for how they selected the number of Containers that we were instructed to randomly select from the Data File.
 
B.
For each Sample Container and the associated lease (the “Sample Lease”), we compared or recomputed the information in the Data File to or using the information stated in the Sources indicated below, utilizing instructions (as applicable) provided by the Company. The Specified Parties indicated that the absence of any of the noted Sources or the inability to agree the indicated information from the Data File to the Sources, utilizing the instructions provided by the Company, as applicable, for each of the specified attributes constituted an exception. The Sources are listed in the order of priority until such attribute was agreed.

We were instructed by the Company to consider the OAC to be in agreement if the difference was not greater than 3.00%
     
 
Book Value
For each Sample Container with Lease Type “Finance,” the Company instructed us to recompute the Book Value as the present value of the remaining lease payments (based on the Per Diem Rate, the Buyout Price, and the Lease Expiration Date stated in the Data File) as of the Cutoff Date, using the respective discount rate contained in the Additional Information.
For each Sample Container with Lease Type “Long Term,” the Company instructed us to recompute the Book Value based on the OAC, the Residual Value, and the Depreciation Life stated in the Data File, and the depreciation start date contained in the Additional Information.
We were instructed by the Company to consider the Book Value to be in agreement if the difference was not greater than 3.00%.

Lessee’s Name
Lease Agreement
 
For Sample Container #30, the Lessee’s Name stated in the Data File did not agree to the Lease Agreement. The Company informed us that the Lessee’s Name stated in the Data File was the entity formed as a result of the merger of the lessee named in the Lease Agreement with another entity. We observed information about the merger and the lessee named in the Lease Agreement on the Lessee’s website provided by the Company. This was not considered an exception.
     
 
Lease Type
Lease Agreement
 
We were instructed by the Company to consider the Sample Lease to be a long term lease (Lease Type “Long Term”) if the Lease Agreement indicated a term of greater than one year or longer and either did not include a purchase option at the end of the lease term, or included a purchase option at the end of the lease term with a purchase price higher than the then depreciated value of the Sample Container; and, to consider the Sample Lease to be a finance lease (Lease Type “Finance”) if the Lease Agreement included a purchase option at the end of the lease term at a purchase price lower than the then depreciated value of the Sample Container.

Lease Agreement
 
In the event the Lease Agreement stated the Lease Expiration Date was based on the lease commencement date (the “LCD”), and:
 
(i) if the LCD was specified in the Lease Agreemenent, the Company instructed us to recompute the Lease Expiration Date (the “Recomputed Lease Expiration Date”) using the LCD and the lease term stated in the Lease Agreement.
 
(ii) if the LCD was stated in the Lease Agreement as the average on-lease date for all containers included in the Sample Lease, the Company instructed us to recompute the Lease Expiration Date using the average on-lease date provided by the Company for the Sample Lease (contained in the Additional Information) and the lease term stated in the Lease Agreement.

(iii) if the LCD was stated in the Lease Agreement to be the earlier of the end of the supply period stated in the Lease Agreement and the last on-lease date for all containers included in the Sample Lease, the Company instructed us to recompute the Lease Expiration Date based on the supply period stated in the Lease Agreement, the last on-lease date provided by the Company for the Sample Lease as of the Cutoff Date (contained in the Additional Information), and the lease term stated in the Lease Agreement. For Sample Containers #9, #10, #11, and #34, the Lease Expiration Date in the Data File was one month after the Recomputed Lease Expiration Date. The Company informed us that it had agreed with the respective lessee to extend the LCD because the majority of the containers on the lease were picked up by the lessee later than the supply period stated in the Lease Agreement. For Sample Containers #20, #45, and #46, the Lease Expiration Date in the Data File was one or two months before the Recomputed Lease Expiration Date. The Company informed us that it had agreed with the respective leesee to such specific LCD. Based on the information provided by the Company, these Lease Expiration Dates were not considered exceptions.
 
In the event the Lease Agreement stated the Lease Expiration Date is based on the age of the containers, the Company instructed to recompute the Lease Expiration Date by using the (i) age in years listed in the Lease Agreement and the (ii) Manufacture Date stated in the Data File.
 
Buyout Price
Lease Agreement
 
The Company instructed us only to perform this procedure for Sample Containers with a Lease Type “Finance.” In the event the Buyout Price of a Sample Container with Lease Type “Finance” was blank in the Data File, the Company instructed us to consider the information to be in agreement if the Buyout Price stated in the Lease Agreement was $1.00.
 
The information regarding the Sample Containers was found to be in agreement with the respective information stated in the Sources, except as noted in Exhibit C.
 
C.
In addition to the procedures described above, for each Sample Container, we observed an “Active” status in a screenshot from the Company’s asset and contract management system provided by the Company or the presence of a signed Lease Agreement. We make no representation regarding the authenticity of the signature(s) on the Lease Agreement.
 
There were no conclusions that resulted from the procedures.
 
This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 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 identified by the Company 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 to the Specified Parties.

The procedures performed were not intended to address, nor did they address: (i) the conformity of the acquisition of the Containers or origination of the Leases to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria or other requirements, (ii) the value of collateral securing any such Containers or Leases being securitized, (iii) the compliance of the lessor of the Containers and originator of the Leases with federal, state, and local laws and regulations, or (iv) any other factor or characteristic of the Containers or the Leases 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 a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO).
