Agreed-Upon Procedures

De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc.

1111 Old Eagle School Road

Wayne, PA 19087

Ladies and Gentlemen:

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“we”, “us” or “PwC”) has performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (as the engaging party) and Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Rabo Securities USA, Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, who are collectively referred to herein as the “Specified Parties”, solely to assist you in determining the accuracy of certain attributes of a sample of collateral assets which may be included in the issuance of asset-backed notes by DLLAA 2025-1 LLC (the “Transaction”). De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company” or “Responsible Party”) is the servicer of the Transaction and is responsible for the accuracy of the attributes of the collateral assets which may be included in the Transaction.

In an agreed-upon procedures engagement, we perform specific procedures that the Specified Parties have agreed to and acknowledged to be appropriate for the intended purpose of the engagement and we report on findings based on the procedures performed. 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. The Specified Parties have agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose.

Procedures and Findings

In connection with the Transaction, the Specified Parties agreed on a sample size of 150 receivables. Using a preliminary pool of 23,444 receivables for the contemplated Transaction which the Company represents is as of October 31, 2024, the Company also represents that Barclays Capital Inc. randomly selected a sample of 150 receivables (the “Sample Receivables”).

During the engagement, the Company represents that only 149 of the Samples Receivables will be included in the final pool of receivables for the Transaction. We make no representations as to the adequacy of the reduced sample size, nor do we draw any conclusions about the final pool of receivables, and any differences between the preliminary pool and the final pool of receivables for 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 assets to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria or other requirements;

 

•

The value of collateral securing such assets; and

 

•

The compliance of the originator of the assets 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.

With respect to any terms or requirements of the offering memorandum or other Transaction documents that do not appear in this report, 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 offering memorandum or other Transaction documents.

It should be understood that we make no representations as to:

 

•

The interpretation of Transaction documents (including, but not limited to, indenture agreements or offering documents) included in connection with our procedures;

 

•

Your compliance with Rule 15Ga-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

 

•

The reasonableness of any of the assumptions provided by the Company; and

 

•

The adequacy of the sample size, as provided by the Company and accepted by the Specified Parties, nor do we draw any conclusions about the entire pool of receivables based on the sample size and results of the procedures performed.

These procedures should not be taken to supplant any additional inquiries or procedures that the Specified Parties would undertake in consideration of the Transaction.

We performed the following agreed-upon procedures below. Our findings as a result of performing the procedures are reported in Exhibit I.
