Our agreed-upon procedures engagement was not conducted for the purpose of the following:
     ●
Addressing the conformity of the origination of the assets to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria, or other requirements
     ●
Addressing the value of collateral securing any such assets being securitized

     ●
