(the Company) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 (d) of the Securities and ExchangeCommission’s Regulation AB for the publicly issued auto loan asset-backed securities transactions for which the Company actedas servicer involving auto loans (the “Platform”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, excluding criteria’s1122(d)(1)(iii), 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii),1122(d)(4)(xiii), and 1122(d)(4)(xv) which the Company has determined are not applicable to the activities performed by them withrespect to the servicing platform covered by this report. See Appendix B of management’s assertion for the asset backed transactionscovered by this platform. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those servicing criteria. Our responsibilityis to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria basedon our examination.

 

Our examination was conducted in accordancewith attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Public Company AccountingOversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliancewith the applicable servicing criteria and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Ourexamination included testing of less than all of the individual asset backed transactions and securities that comprise the platform,testing of less than all of the servicing activities related to the Platform and determining whether the Company processed thoseselected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria and as permitted by RegulationAB Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations of the Division of Corporation Finance, Section 200.06, “Vendors Engaged byServicers” (C&DI 200.06). Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activitiesperformed by the Company during the period covered by this report. Our procedures were not designed to determine whether errorsmay have occurred either prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reportedby the Company during the period covered by this report for the selected transactions or any other transactions. We believe thatthe evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Our examination does not provide a legaldetermination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

As described in management’s assertion,for servicing criteria 1122 (d)(2)(i), 1122(d)(4)(i), 1122(d)(4)(ii) and 1122 (d)(4)(iv), the Company has engaged various vendorsto perform the activities required by these servicing criteria. The Company has determined that these vendors are not considereda “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company has elected to take responsibility for assessingcompliance with the applicable servicing criteria applicable to each vendor as permitted by C&DI 200.06. As permitted by C&DI200.06, the Company has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that thevendors’ activities comply in all material respects with servicing criteria applicable to each vendor. The Company is solelyresponsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply C&DI 200.06 for the vendors and related criteria asdescribed in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company’s eligibility to apply C&DI 200.06.

 

In our opinion, management’s assertionthat the Company complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 (d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’sRegulation AB, including servicing criteria 1122 (d)(2)(i), 1122(d)(4)(i), 1122(d)(4)(ii) and 1122(d)(4)(iv) for which complianceis determined based on C&DI 200.06 as described above, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 for the Platform, isfairly stated, in all material respects.
