2. Section 5.l(b) shall be revised to delete in its entirety such existing Section 5.1 (b) and to substitute in its place and stead the following new replacement sub-section:

(iii) delivered to Agent a duly executed Assignment of Notes Receivable and Mortgages assigning to Agent all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to each such Pledged Note Receivable and the related Mortgage; and

(iv) subject to Section 4.4(c)(xvi) hereof and the partial waiver set forth in Section 5.1(f) hereof, delivered to Agent, with respect to each Encumbered Interval, a commitment for a Mortgagee's Title Policy showing that the Mortgage in respect of such Interval has been assigned to Agent and insuring in favor of Agent the first priority Lien of such Mortgage in the amount of the Advance to be made in respect of such Pledged Note Receivable, with a satisfactory title insurance policy to be issued within ninety (90) days from the date of the Advance.
