Procedures performed and our associated findings

 

1.

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

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

 

2.

As instructed by the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, we appended the information for each Preliminary Timeshare Loan on the Initial Preliminary Data File with the corresponding normal payment amount, as shown on the Preliminary Normal Payment Amount File. The Initial Preliminary Data File, as adjusted, is hereinafter referred to as the “Preliminary Data File.”

 

3.

For each Sample Timeshare Loan, we compared the Sample Characteristics listed on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A, as shown on the Preliminary 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 to us by the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, described in the note(s) to Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. The Source Document(s) that we were instructed by the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, to use for each Sample Characteristic are shown on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. Except for the information shown on Exhibit 2 to Attachment A, all such compared information was found to be in agreement.
