Ladies and Gentlemen:
We (“us” or “PwC”) have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by Harvest Small Business Finance, LLC (the “Company” or the “Responsible Party”), Capital One Securities, Inc. and Guggenheim Securities, LLC, who are collectively referred to herein as the “Specified Parties”, solely to assist you in performing certain procedures (the “Procedures”) relating to the accuracy of certain attributes of the collateral assets included in the Final Data Tape (as defined below) with respect to the Harvest SBL Loan Trust 2018-1 securitization (the “Transaction”). 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 have requested that the procedures be performed on the entire population of the 252 loans in the Final Data Tape (as defined below), herein referred to as the “Loans”, within the Transaction.
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 Loans to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria or other requirements; |
• | The value of collateral securing such Loans; and |
• | The compliance of the originator of the Loans 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.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 600 13th Street NW, Washington, DC 20005 T: 202-414-1000, F: 202-414-1688, www.pwc.com/us |
With respect to any terms or requirements of the securitization offering documents 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 securitization offering documents.
It should be understood that we make no representations as to:
(i) | The interpretation of Transaction documents (including, but not limited to, indenture agreements or offering documents) included in connection with our procedures; |
(ii) | Your compliance with Rule 15Ga-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and |
(iii) | The reasonableness of any of the assumptions provided by the Responsible Party. |
These procedures should not be taken to supplant any additional inquiries or procedures that the Specified Parties would undertake in consideration of the Transaction.
