Procedures performed and our associated findings

 

1.As instructed by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, we randomly selected a sample of 220 Preliminary Mortgage Loans (the “Sample Mortgage Loans”) from the Preliminary Data File. For the purpose of this procedure, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, did not inform us as to the basis for how they determined the number of Sample Mortgage Loans or the methodology they instructed us to use to select the Sample Mortgage Loans from the Preliminary Data File.

 

We noted that the 220 Sample Mortgage Loans are secured by 243 Preliminary Mortgaged Properties (each, a “Sample Mortgaged Property”). For the purpose of the procedures described in this report, the 220 Sample Mortgage Loans and the corresponding 243 Sample Mortgaged Properties are referred to as Sample Numbers 1-0 through 220-1. The Sample Mortgage Loans are represented by Sample Numbers with a right-most digit of “0” and Sample Mortgaged Properties are represented by Sample Numbers with a right-most digit other than “0.”

 

2.For each Sample Mortgage Loan and Sample Mortgaged Property, we compared the Sample Characteristics, as applicable, listed on Exhibit 1 to Attachment A, as shown on the Preliminary Data File, to the corresponding information located on, or to the corresponding information we recalculated using information located on, the Source Documents, subject to the instructions, qualifications, assumptions and methodologies provided by the Sponsor, on behalf of the Depositor, described in the notes to Exhibit 1 to Attachment A. The Source Document(s) that we were instructed by the Sponsor, 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 in agreement.
