3.4 Delinquency and Performance Data.

The undersigned hereby certifies that the static-pool performance data and delinquency information set forth in the Offering Memorandum is accurate in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date.

(c) the maintenance of accurate and complete books and records with respect to the receivables, the Pool, and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including books and records sufficient to permit the identification and tracing of collections on the receivables;

Section 10. Credit Enhancement Levels.

The undersigned hereby certifies that the following credit-enhancement features are in place or will be in place as of the Closing Date, in each case consistent with the terms of the Indenture, the SSA, and as described in the Offering Memorandum:

(a) Overcollateralization. The initial overcollateralization target is 3.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, equaling $7,000,000. The overcollateralization amount represents the excess of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the receivables over the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

(b) Reserve Account. The reserve account balance at closing will be 1.00% of the Initial Pool Balance, equaling $2,000,000 (the "Reserve Account Initial Deposit"). The Reserve Account Initial Deposit will be funded by SBF at closing and deposited with the collection-account bank in the reserve account established pursuant to the Account Control Agreement and the Indenture. Funds on deposit in the reserve account will be available to cover shortfalls in interest payments on the Notes and, to the extent specified in the Indenture, to cover principal shortfalls, in each case in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the Indenture.

(c) Subordination. The Class B Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $22,000,000 (representing approximately 11% of the total capital structure), are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $170,000,000 (representing approximately 85% of the total capital structure). Interest and principal payments on the Class B Notes are subordinated to interest and principal payments on the Class A Notes in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the Indenture.

(d) Excess Spread. Based on the weighted average coupon of the receivables (14.82%), the weighted average coupon of the Notes, and the estimated servicing fee and other transaction expenses, the initial annualized excess spread available to absorb losses is estimated at 2.85% per annum.

(e) Residual Interest. SBF, through its wholly-owned subsidiary SkyLend Funding LLC, retains a residual interest in SRT 2024-1 in the amount of $8,000,000 (representing approximately 4% of the total capital structure). The residual interest is subordinated to all classes of Notes and will receive distributions only after all amounts owing on the Notes and all other obligations of the Trust have been paid in full or adequately provided for, in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the Indenture.

Section 11. Capital Structure Confirmation.

The undersigned hereby certifies that the capital structure of the Notes and the related residual interest is as follows:

The CUSIP prefix 87165Q has been allocated for the Notes by the CUSIP Service Bureau. The Class A Notes and the Class B Notes will each be assigned a unique CUSIP number, which will be set forth in the Final Offering Memorandum.

The undersigned confirms that the foregoing capital structure is consistent in all material respects with the capital structure described in the Offering Memorandum and approved by the Board pursuant to the Authorizing Resolutions.

Section 12. Equity Ownership Disclosure.

The undersigned hereby confirms that, as of the date hereof, Pinnacle Growth Equity Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Pinnacle"), owns 62.4% of the fully diluted equity of SBF, having acquired such interest through its $95,000,000 Series C preferred equity investment in SBF completed in 2021. The remaining equity of SBF is held by the founders, management team, and other existing investors of SBF.

The undersigned further confirms that the equity ownership structure of SBF has not changed in any material respect since the date of the Offering Memorandum, and no agreement, arrangement, or understanding is in effect that would result in a change of control of SBF or a disposition of a majority of the equity of SBF.

Section 13. Servicing Arrangements.

The undersigned hereby confirms that Clearview Loan Servicing, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Clearview"), with its principal office located at 8800 Brecksville Road, Suite 300, Cleveland, Ohio 44141, serves as sub-servicer of the receivables pursuant to the Master Servicing Agreement, dated October 1, 2022 (Servicing Account No. CLS-SBF-2022-0041), as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated March 18, 2024 (together, the "Master Servicing Agreement" or "MSA"). The MSA sets forth the duties and obligations of Clearview with respect to the day-to-day servicing and administration of the receivables, including payment processing, borrower communications, delinquency management, loss mitigation, and default management.

The annual servicing fee payable to Clearview under the MSA is 0.50% of the outstanding pool balance, calculated on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the last day of the immediately preceding collection period. Based on the Initial Pool Balance of $200,000,000, the estimated servicing fee for the first year of the transaction is approximately $1,000,000, subject to adjustment based on actual pool balances and prepayment experience.

Clearview has served as sub-servicer of SBF's securitized and warehouse loan portfolios since the third quarter of 2022. As of December 31, 2023, Clearview managed approximately $640,000,000 in SBF receivables across multiple facilities and securitization transactions.

The undersigned hereby certifies that, to the knowledge of the undersigned after due inquiry, Clearview has performed its servicing obligations under the MSA in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the MSA and Amendment No. 1 thereto, including without limitation with respect to payment processing, remittance of collections, preparation of servicing reports, maintenance of servicing records, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Section 14. Tax Matters.

The undersigned hereby certifies that SBF has obtained or applied for all necessary employer identification numbers for each entity involved in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, as follows:

(a) Skybridge Fintech Ltd.: EIN 84-3291076;

(b) SkyLend Funding LLC: EIN 93-4187620; and

(c) SkyLend Receivables Trust 2024-1: EIN 93-4201855.

The undersigned further states that SBF believes, based on the analysis set forth in the tax memorandum prepared by Calderwood & Harkness LLP in connection with the transaction (the "Tax Memorandum"), that SRT 2024-1 should be properly characterized as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes under Subpart E of Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and not as an association taxable as a corporation, a publicly traded partnership, or a taxable mortgage pool. SBF has not received any ruling or determination from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax classification of SRT 2024-1.
