a list of the non-complying Loan Assets and the applicable Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy. The Servicer shall have five
Business Days after notice or knowledge thereof to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. To the extent such non-compliance
has not been cured within such time period, such Loan Asset shall be deemed to be a Warranty Loan Asset and shall no longer be
included in the calculation of any Borrowing Base hereunder until such deficiency is cured. In addition, if requested in writing
(in the form of Exhibit N) by the Servicer and approved by the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of the Collateral
Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Collateral Custodian shall return any Loan Asset which fails to satisfy a Review
Criteria to the Borrower. Other than the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any
Required Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Custodian shall have no duty
or obligation with respect to any Loan Asset checklist delivered to it in electronic form.”

Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

respect to each such Loan Asset is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or Canada (provided that

Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

giving effect to the acquisition by the Borrower of such Loan Asset, the Adjusted Borrowing Value (after giving effect to any deduction
pursuant to clause (12) and clause (2) but prior to giving effect to any deduction pursuant to this clause (39)) of all Eligible
Loan Assets that are fixed rate Loan Assets shall not exceed the greater of (i) 10% of the sum of (x) the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing
Value (after giving effect to any deduction pursuant to clause (12) and clause (2) but prior to giving effect to any deduction
