Independent Accountants’ Report
on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures

We have performed the procedures described below, which were agreed to by Vertical Bridge REIT, LLC (the “Company”) and Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) and Guggenheim Securities, LLC (collectively, the “Other Specified Parties” and, together with the Company, the “Specified Parties”) related to their evaluation of certain information with respect to a portfolio of tower sites, the related tenant leases of such tower sites and iHeart radio stations in conjunction with the proposed offering of Vertical Bridge CC, LLC, Secured Tower Revenue Notes, Series 2020-2 (the “Transaction”).

The information provided to us, including the information set forth in the Initial Statistical Data File, Subsequent Statistical Data File and Radio Station Data File (each as defined herein), is the responsibility of the Company.  The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the Specified Parties of this report.  Consequently, we make no representations regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.

Agreed-Upon Procedures

Sample Selection Procedures for Initial Statistical Data File:

On July 20, 2020, representatives of Barclays, on behalf of the Company, provided us with (i) a computer-generated data file and related record layout (the “Initial Data File”) containing data with respect to 935 tower sites (the “Initial Tower Sites”) and the related 1,095 tenant leases (the “Initial Tenant Leases”) and (ii) a listing (the “Initial Sample Listing”) that included (a) 50 Initial Tower Sites (the “Initial Sample Sites”) and (b) 219 Initial Tenant Leases related to the Initial Sample Sites (the “Initial Sample Tenant Leases”).  We make no representations as to the selection criteria used in determining the Initial Sample Sites or the Initial Sample Tenant Leases.

On July 30, 2020, representatives of Barclays, on behalf of the Company, provided us with a supplemental data file (the “Supplemental Data File”) containing the investment grade for each of the Initial Tenant Leases.  At the instruction of the Company, we appended the Initial Data File with the corresponding information set forth on the Supplemental Data File. The Initial Data File, as appended, is hereinafter referred to as the Initial Statistical Data File.

@ For Initial Sample Sites with a ground interest of “leased” set forth on or derived from the Title Insurance Policy.

We compared Initial Tower Site Characteristic 1. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the “Title Insurance Policy.”

We compared Initial Tower Site Characteristics 2. through 5. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from photographs, site audits, engineering reports or construction drawings set forth in the Company records (collectively, the “Engineering Records”).  Further, at your instruction, for purposes of such comparisons of Initial Tower Site Characteristic 5., we did not perform any procedures for Sample Sites with a tower type of “SST on rooftop,” as set forth on the Engineering Records.

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 6., we summed the monthly revenue of each Initial Sample Tenant Lease (Initial Tenant Lease Characteristic 3. (as defined herein)) relating to each of the related Initial Sample Sites and compared the results of each summation to the corresponding monthly revenue set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File.  Further, at your instruction, differences of 2.5% or less of the monthly revenue indicated on the Initial Statistical Data File were deemed to be “in agreement.”

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristics 7. and 8., for Initial Sample Sites with a ground interest (as set forth on or derived from the Title Insurance Policy) of (i) “owned,” we observed a value of zero on the Initial Statistical Data File or (ii) “leased,” we compared the monthly ground rent expense and monthly revenue share rent expense to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the “Ground Lease Agreement.” At your instruction, for purposes of such comparisons of Initial Tower Site Characteristics 7. and 8., differences of 2.5% or less of the monthly ground rent expense or monthly revenue share rent expense, as applicable, indicated on the Initial Statistical Data File were deemed to be “in agreement.”

We compared Initial Tower Site Characteristics 9. through 11. to the corresponding information set forth on the monthly expense worksheet as of June 30, 2020 (the “Unaudited Trial Balance”).

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 12., for Initial Sample Sites with a tower type (as set forth on or derived from the Engineering Records) of (i) “land,” we observed a monthly insurance allocation of $0.00 on the Initial Statistical Data File and (ii) not “land”, we observed a monthly insurance allocation of $19.00 on the Initial Statistical Data File.

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 13., we observed a monthly monitoring expense of (i) $3.20 on the Initial Statistical Data File for any Initial Sample Site with a tower height (as set forth on the Engineering Records) less than 199 feet or (ii) $31.75 on the Initial Statistical Data File for any Initial Sample Site with a tower height (as set forth on the Engineering Records) greater than or equal to 199 feet.


With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 14., we recomputed the site operating expense as the sum of the (i) monthly property tax amount, (ii) monthly utility expense, (iii) monthly maintenance expense, (iv) monthly insurance allocation and (v) monthly monitoring expense (each as determined above).  We compared the results of such recomputations to the corresponding information set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File.

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 15., we recomputed the management fee as 5% of the product of (i) the difference between the (a) monthly revenue and (b) monthly revenue share rent expense (each as determined above) and (ii) 12.

We compared Initial Tower Site Characteristic 16. to the corresponding information set forth on an electronic loan file, prepared, created and delivered by the Company, from the Company’s lease Management System, as of the close of business June 30, 2020 (the “CAM Revenue File”).

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 17., for Initial Sample Sites with a tower type (as set forth on or derived from the Engineering Records) of (i) “land,” we observed an annualized maintenance cap expense of $0.00 on the Initial Statistical Data File and (ii) not land, we observed an annualized maintenance cap expense of $700 on the Initial Statistical Data File.

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 18., we recomputed the annualized run rate net cash flow as the difference between (a) the product of (i) the difference between the (x) monthly revenue and (y) sum of the monthly ground rent expense and site operating expense and monthly revenue share rent expense (each as determined above) and (ii) 12 and (b) sum of the annual maintenance cap expense and the management fee (each as determined above).  We compared the results of such recomputations to the corresponding information set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File.

We compared Initial Tower Site Characteristic 19. to the Ground Lease Agreement.  Further, at your instruction, for purposes of such comparisons, differences of thirty days or less are deemed to be “in agreement.”

We compared Initial Tower Site Characteristic 20. to a query prepared and delivered on July 29, 2020 by representatives of Barclays, on behalf of the Company (the “Basic Trade Area Query”).

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 21., we summed the number of Initial Sample Tenant Leases with respect to each Initial Sample Site set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File and compared the results of each summation to the tenant count set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File.

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 22., we summed the number of towers with respect to each Initial Sample Site set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File and compared the results of each summation to the number of towers per site set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File.

With respect to Initial Tower Site Characteristic 23., we summed the number of Initial Sample Tenant Leases with a technology classification (Initial Tenant Lease Characteristic 13.) of “telephony” for each Initial Sample Site and compared the results of each summation to the telephony lease count set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File.

The tower site documents described above (including the CAM Revenue File and Basic Trade Area Query) and any other related documents used in support of the Initial Tower Site Characteristics were provided to us by, or on behalf of, the Company and are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Initial Tower Site Documentation.”  We were not requested to perform, and we did not perform, any procedures with respect to the preparation or verification of any of the information set forth on the Initial Tower Site Documentation and we make no representations concerning the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained therein.  In certain instances, our procedures were performed using data imaged facsimiles or photocopies of the Initial Tower Site Documentation.  In addition, we make no representations as to whether the Initial Tower Site Documentation are comprehensive or valid instruments or reflect the current prevailing terms with respect to the corresponding Initial Sample Sites.

We compared Initial Tenant Lease Characteristics 1. through 14. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the tenant lease agreement and amendments (collectively, the “Tenant Lease Agreement”).  At your instruction, for purposes of each comparison of Initial Tenant Lease Characteristic 3., differences of 2.5% or less of the monthly revenue indicated on the Initial Statistical Data File were deemed to be “in agreement.”  Further, at your instruction, for purposes of each comparison of Initial Tenant Lease Characteristics 4., 5. and 11., differences of 30 days or less are deemed to be “in agreement.”

We compared Initial Tenant Lease Characteristic 15. to the corresponding information on set forth on or derived from the Tenant Lease Agreement.  For purposes of such comparison, in the instance in which the Tenant Lease Agreement refers to a variable escalation increase based on the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), we compared the escalation amount to screen shots from the Company’s servicing system (the “Servicing System Screen Shots”) or the Tenant Lease Agreement.

We compared Initial Tenant Lease Characteristic 16. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from CAM Revenue File.

With respect to Initial Tenant Lease Characteristic 17., we recomputed the annualized revenue as the product of (i) the monthly revenue (as set forth on the Tenant Lease Agreement) and (ii) 12 and compared such result to the annualized revenue set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File.  At your instruction, for purposes of each comparison of Initial Tenant Lease Characteristic 17., differences of 2.5% or less of the annualized revenue indicated on the Initial Statistical Data File were deemed to be “in agreement.”

With respect to Initial Tenant Lease Characteristic 18., we recomputed the annualized CAM revenue as the product of (i) the CAM revenue (as set forth on the CAM Revenue File) and (ii) 12 and compared such result to the annualized CAM revenue set forth on the Initial Statistical Data File.

We compared Initial Tenant Lease Characteristic 19. to the “Rating Spreadsheet” provided to us by Barclays, on behalf of the Company, on July 30, 2020.

The tenant lease documents indicated above (including the Servicing System Screen Shots) and any other related documents provided in support of the Initial Tenant Lease Characteristics were provided to us by, or on behalf of, the Company and are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Initial Tenant Lease Documentation.”  We were not requested to perform, and we did not perform, any procedures with respect to the preparation or verification of any of the information set forth on the Initial Tenant Lease Documentation and we make no representations concerning the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained therein.  Further, we make no representations as to whether the Initial Tenant Lease Documentation are comprehensive and valid instruments and reflect the current prevailing terms with respect to the corresponding Initial Sample Tenant Leases.
