Within five Business Days of its receipt of any Required Loan Documents, the related Loan Tape and a hard copy of the Loan Asset Checklist, the Collateral Custodian shall review the Required Loan Documents to confirm that (A) such Required Loan Documents have been executed by each party thereto (either an original or a copy, as indicated on the Loan Asset Checklist) and have no missing or mutilated pages, (B) filed stamped copies of the UCC and other filings (required by the Required Loan Documents) are included, (C) each item listed in the Loan Asset Checklist is included and verify it has been provided to the Collateral Custodian without any missing pages or sections, and (D) the related original balance (based on a comparison to the note or assignment agreement, as applicable), Loan Asset number and Obligor name, as applicable, with respect to such Loan Asset is referenced on the related Loan Tape (such items (A) through (D) collectively, the “Review Criteria”).

If, at the conclusion of such review, the Collateral Custodian shall determine that (i) the original balance of the Loan Asset with respect to which it has received Required Loan Documents is less than as set forth on the Loan Tape or the Obligor name does not match, the Collateral Custodian shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Servicer of such discrepancy within one Business Day, or (ii) any Review Criteria is not satisfied, the Collateral Custodian shall within one Business Day notify the Servicer of such determination and provide the Servicer with 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.”
