Agreed-Upon Procedures


Social Finance, Inc.
One Letterman Drive, Bldg. A, Suite 4700
San Francisco, CA 94129


We (“us” or “PwC”) have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by Social Finance, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC and SoFi Securities, LLC, who are collectively referred to herein as the “Specified Parties”, solely to assist you in performing certain procedures relating to the accuracy of certain attributes of the private consumer loans with respect to the SoFi 2017-5 securitization transaction (the “Transaction”). Social Finance, Inc. (“SoFi” or “Company”) is responsible for the accuracy of certain attributes of the private consumer loans with respect to the Transaction (the “Responsible Party”). The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the Specified Parties. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.

Procedures and Findings:

In connection with the Transaction, the Specified Parties agreed on a sample size of 100 private consumer loans (the “Sample 1 Loans”), which were selected using a simple random sample from the pool of assets on the Initial Preliminary Data Tape identified by the Company as being loans that will collateralize the Transaction. The Specified Parties also agreed on a sample size of 20 private consumer loans (the “Sample 2 Loans”), which were selected using a simple random sample from the pool of assets on the Upsize Preliminary Data Tape identified by the Company as being additional loans that may collateralize the Transaction. The Sample 1 Loans and Sample 2 Loans are collectively the “Sample Loans”.

This agreed-upon procedures engagement was not conducted for the purpose of satisfying any criteria for due diligence published by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

In addition, PwC should not be regarded as having in any way warranted or given any assurance as to the following items:

·
The completeness, accuracy, appropriateness, quality or integrity of any of the information provided by the Responsible Party, or any other party for purposes of PwC performing the procedures agreed to by the Specified Parties. The procedures performed would not necessarily reveal any material misstatement of the amounts, balances, ratios, percentages or other relationships of the information included in the data provided to us;

·
The conformity of the origination of the assets to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria or other requirements;

·
The value of collateral securing such assets; and

·
The compliance of the originator of the assets with federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

We have not performed any procedures with respect to the fair value of the securities being offered in the Transaction and PwC expresses no opinion on the current fair value of these securities. PwC should not be regarded as having performed any procedures other than those detailed in this report.

With respect to any terms or requirements of the Private Placement Memorandums that do not appear in the exhibits, we performed no procedures and, accordingly, the procedures we performed would not ensure that any requirements are satisfied. Further, we have performed only the following agreed-upon procedures and therefore make no representations regarding the adequacy of disclosures or whether any material facts have been omitted from the Private Placement Memorandums.

It should be understood that we make no representations as to:

·
The interpretation of Transaction documents (including, but not limited to, indenture agreements or offering documents) included in connection with our procedures;
·
Your compliance with Rule 15Ga-2 of Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
·
The reasonableness of any of the assumptions provided by the Company; and
·
The adequacy of the sample size, as provided by the Specified Parties, nor do we draw any conclusions about the entire Data Tape based on the sample size and results of the procedures performed.

These procedures should not be taken to supplant any additional inquiries or procedures that the Specified Parties would undertake in consideration of the transaction.

Loan File Review

Using the Initial Preliminary Data Tape, we randomly selected the Sample 1 Loans from the 18,103 loans represented on the Initial Preliminary Data Tape for review. Using the Upsize Preliminary Data Tape, we randomly selected the Sample 2 Loans from the additional 3,044 loans represented on the Upsize Preliminary Data Tape, and not included on the Initial Preliminary Data Tape, for review.

Subsequent to the initial sample selection, the Company removed 310 loans from Initial Preliminary Data Tape and 408 loans from the Upsize Preliminary Data Tape, as these loans were identified as being originated in geographic areas affected by Hurricane Harvey. The Company replaced these loans with 272 and 386 additional loans, respectively, making up the Initial Revised Data Tape and the Upsize Revised Data Tape.

Two loans in the initial sample selection were replaced (one from the Sample 1 Loans and one from the Sample 2 Loans). The Company instructed us to replace the 2 removed loans by randomly selecting 1 loan from the additional 272 loans represented on the Initial Revised Data Tape, and not included on the Initial Preliminary Data Tape, and by selecting 1 loan from the additional 386 loans represented on the Upsize Revised Data Tape, and not included on the Upsize Preliminary Data Tape.

We make no representations as to the adequacy of the sample size, nor do we draw any conclusions about the entire Data Tape or Supplemental Data Files based on the sample size and results of the procedures performed.

We performed certain comparison and recalculation procedures, as applicable, for certain consumer loan characteristics (the “Sample Characteristics”) set forth on the Data Tape and Supplemental Data Files and indicated below.

Procedures Performed (the “Procedures”)

For each of the Sample Loans, using the information, instruction, methodology, and assumptions provided by the Company, the field mapping in Exhibit 1, and the additional assumptions in Exhibit 2, we compared the value in the Data Files to:

Sample Characteristics 1, 2, 4 and 8: the Originating Documents
Sample Characteristics 3, 5-7 and 9-11: the Servicing Information Support File
Sample Characteristic 12: the Underwriting System Export Files
Sample Characteristic 13: a recalculated value derived using the Income Verification Documentation and the Gross Income Calculation Methodology File

With respect to the Procedures performed, we compared and agreed or recalculated and agreed, as applicable, the Sample Characteristics to the relevant Source Files and noted the following differences.

Source File Value
13. Gross income
3342656
$74,000.00
$58,509.80

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.

Exhibit 2

At the instruction of the Company, for the purposes of the Procedures, we applied the following rules as a supplement to the table in Exhibit 1:
 
·
With respect to our comparison of Characteristic 3, in the event that the borrower state, as set forth on the Data Tape, did not match the Servicing Information Support File, the Originating Documents were used to perform the Procedures;
 
·
With respect to our comparison of Characteristic 10, differences of $1.00 or less are noted to be “in agreement”;
 
·
With respect to our comparison of Characteristic 12, if multiple credit scores are observed in the Underwriting System Export Files, the highest score is used;
 
·
With respect to our recalculation of Characteristic 13, if a Sample Loan included a co-signer or co-borrower, we were instructed to include the gross income of such co-signer or co-borrower in the calculation of gross income for the purposes of the Procedures; and
 
·
With respect to our comparison of Characteristic 13, differences of 3.5% or less of the gross income amount indicated on the Data Tape are noted to be “in agreement”, however, the Company noted 1 borrower (Loan ID 3873362) that qualified for their loan with a gross income value that was lower than the PwC recalculated value and the difference between the PwC recalculated value and the Data Tape value is greater than 3.5%. For this loan, “Gross income” is noted to be “in agreement” if the Data Tape value matches the “gross income” value listed in the Underwriting System Export Files.
