Section 7.3.  Binding Nature of Agreement: Assignment.  This Custodial Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Custodian and the Trustee and their respective and permitted assigns.

Upon receipt of any such written notice of assignment and written assumption of obligations, the Custodian shall treat such assignee as the Trustee for all purposes of this Custodial Agreement.  The Custodian shall not assign, transfer, pledge or grant a security interest in any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder, nor shall the Custodian delegate or appoint any other person or entity to perform or carry out any of its duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Custodial Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Trustee.







Section 7.4.  Governing Law.  This Custodial Agreement and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement shall be governed by and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York notwithstanding any law, rule, regulation, or other conflict-of-law provisions to the contrary.







Section 7.5.  Recordation of Agreement.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Custodial Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by each Servicer in its sole discretion.







Section 7.6.  Agreement for the Exclusive Benefit of Parties.  This Custodial Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall not be deemed to create or confer any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim upon any other Person whatsoever, except that the holders of the Mortgage Certificates shall be third party beneficiaries of this Custodial Agreement.







Section 7.7  Counterparts.  This Custodial Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.







Section 7.8.  Indulgences: Not Waivers.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party hereto to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Custodial Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

Section 7.10.  Provisions Separable.  The provisions of this Custodial Agreement are independent of and separable from each other and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be valid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

DATA FORMAT







Each column must contain the column header indicated in the new CSV Field Header name column on the attached grid.







Each column is separated by a comma; if data in a column contains valid commas, that data is surrounded by double quotes; so the file is comma delimited and double quote text qualified. Double quotes are only required when the data contains commas that do not indicate a new column.







Dates are required to be formatted as follows:  MM/DD/YYYY







All data should be formatted as Text. The TYPE referred to below is a listing of what the field type on the collateral tracking system is. This is to assist in identifying what data is importable to a specific field and what is not. For example a value of ‘Monday’ would not be importable to the Rate field as Rate is a numeric field and the value of ‘Monday’ is text characters.







Char and Varchar = Any text up to the length specified, can be any combo of letters numbers that fit within the maximum field length







Numeric = Only numbers.  Precision is found under formatting.  For example 3.3 = 123.123, 6.2 = 123456.12







Small int = A number between 0 and 32,000







Tiny Int = 0 or 1 (0 = unchecked, 1 = checked).







Integer = Numeric without decimals.
