  We have performed the procedures enumerated below, on certain information with respect to attributes of GreenState Credit Union’s (the “Company”) automobile receivables as of January 31, 2024 (the “Subject Matter”) related to GreenState Auto Receivables Trust 2024-1 (the “Issuer”) issuance of certain classes of Notes (the “Securitization Transaction”). The Company’s management is responsible for the Data File (as defined herein) accurately representing the information included in the underlying asset documents and the disclosed assumptions and methodologies.
   
  The Company has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of assisting specified parties in evaluating the Subject Matter. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. Additionally, the Issuer, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. (“Stifel”), and BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA” and together with the Company, Issuer, and Stifel, the “Specified Parties”) have agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes.
   
  Consequently, we make no representation regarding the appropriateness of the procedures enumerated below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
   
  The procedures we performed on the automobile receivables and our findings are as described herein.
   
  For the purposes of our procedures, we were instructed by the Company that:
     
  (i) differences of less than $1.00, 0.01 (numbers and years) or 0.01%, as applicable, were deemed to be in agreement.
  (ii) differences in the “State” characteristic that are a result of abbreviations or punctuation were deemed to be in agreement.
  (iii) differences in the “Origination Date” characteristic that are less than or equal to 30 days were deemed to be in agreement.
     
    Unless otherwise indicated, the following are defined for the purposes of our procedures:
       
    ● the phrase “compared” means we checked the information for agreement between sources, with any findings being reported unless a deviation tolerance is otherwise noted. If applicable, such compared amounts and percentages are deemed to be in agreement if differences were attributable to rounding.
     
GT.COM   Grant Thornton LLP is the U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL). GTIL and each of its member firms are separate legal entities and are not a worldwide partnership.

 

 
 

 

  ● the phrase “recomputed” means, if applicable, we recalculated the number through mathematical calculation using the applicable information in the Data File as the inputs, with any findings being reported unless a deviation tolerance is otherwise noted. If applicable, such recomputed amounts and percentages are deemed to be in agreement if differences were attributable to rounding.
  ● the phrase “Source Documents” means a record containing details of a particular transaction or characteristic. Source Documents include the Loan Agreement, Finance Agreement or Automobile Contract, Credit Report, Title and Registration Application, Credit Application, Insurance Coverage Disclosure, Driver’s License (collectively, the “Credit File”), Title Certificates, Make and Model Mapping files, and Vehicle Type Mapping file.
     
  Due diligence agreed-upon procedures
     
  A. Data File Agreed Upon Procedures
  On February 13, 2024, the Company provided us with a computer readable data file (the “Data File”) containing certain characteristics of the automobile receivables (the "Automobile Receivables") included in the Securitization Transaction. We performed the procedures indicated below on the Automobile Receivables.
     
  Grant Thornton selected, on a random basis, 125 Automobile Receivables (the “Sample Receivables”). The Company provided to us information pertaining to those receivables in the Data File. For each of the Sample Receivables, we performed comparisons for certain characteristics (as identified in Exhibit 1) to certain available Source Documents.
     
  Exhibit 1
     
  Characteristics:
    Characteristic Source Document
  1 Vehicle Identification Number (“VIN”) Credit File
  2 Origination Date Credit File
  3 Original Amount Financed Credit File
  4 Original term to maturity Credit File
  5 Original Annual percentage rate (“APR”) Credit File
  6 Model Type Credit File
  7 Vehicle Make Credit File, Vehicle Type Mapping file, Make and Model Mapping files

 

 
 

 

    Characteristic Source Document
  8 Vehicle Model Credit File, Vehicle Type Mapping file, Make and Model Mapping files
  9 Vehicle Model Year Credit File
  10 Original monthly P&I payment Credit File
  11 Borrower State Credit File
  12 Borrower FICO Score Credit File

 

 

  For Characteristic 6, “Vehicle Type ”, we were instructed by the Company that for those Sample Receivables whose Model Year is more than 1 year prior to the year of the Loan Origination Date, the Vehicle Type is “Used”, and for those Sample Receivables whose Model Year is within 1 year of the year of the Loan Origination Date, the Vehicle Type is “New”.
     
  For Characteristics 7 and 8, “Vehicle Make” and “Vehicle Model”, we were instructed by the Company that for those Sample Receivables where the Vehicle Model or Vehicle Make in the Data File does not match the Vehicle Model or Vehicle Make in the Loan Contract in the Source Documents, to perform the following additional procedure:
     
  - compare the Vehicle Model or Vehicle Make in the Data File to the Vehicle Model or Vehicle Make table in the Vehicle Type Mapping file and Make and Model Mapping files contained within the Source Documents. We were instructed by the Company that all Sample Receivables that agreed to any part of these instructions were deemed to be in agreement.
     
  For Characteristic 11, “Borrower State”, the Company has advised us that the characteristic reflects the current address of a customer. For those Sample Receivables where a customer has moved and the current State in which they live is different from the State reflected in the Loan Agreement, the Company has instructed us to perform the following additional procedure:
     
  - compare the State set forth in the Data File to the “State” in the Driver’s License in the Credit File. We were instructed by the Company that all Sample Receivables that agreed to any part of these instructions were deemed to be in agreement.
     
  For Characteristic 12, “Borrower FICO Score”, we were instructed by the Company to use the VantageScore in the Data File and that for those Sample Receivables that had more than one Borrower, to compare the Borrower FICO Score in the Data File to the higher VantageScore in the Source Documents.
     
  For Characteristics 1 through 12, we compared and agreed the information to the Source Documents.

 

 
 

 

  We noted no discrepancies between the Data File and the Source Documents.
     
  B. Documentation Agreed Upon Procedures
  For each of the Sample Receivables, Grant Thornton observed the existence of the following documentation:
     
   - a Title Certificate or Application for Title;
   - the security interest of the Company or GreenState Credit Union is indicated on a Title Certificate;
   - a Credit Application;
   - a Credit Report for the borrower and co-borrower (if applicable); and
   - a Truth-in-Lending Disclosure Statement; and the Agreement to Provide Insurance, Verification of Insurance, Policy Declaration, Certificate of Insurance, Insurance Identification Card, Insurance Verification Request, Insurance Application, Binder of Insurance, Proof of Insurance, Lien Holder Service Center Summary or other related correspondence (collectively, the “Agreement to Provide Insurance”).
     
  We noted no discrepancies in documentation.
     
  We were engaged by the Company to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or review, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Subject Matter. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

  ●  Forming any conclusions; and
  ● Any other terms or requirements of the transaction that do not appear in this report.
