Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with those specified servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the entity's compliance based on our examination. Our examination was made in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the specified servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company's compliance with the minimum servicing standards. In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned specified servicing standards as of and for the year ended March 31, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects. /s/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP Los Angeles, California April 8, 2003 Exhibit I Specified Retail Receivable Servicing Standards I.
