The original copies of such Trust Receipts shall be delivered to the Financing Party at the notice addresses specified in Section 19 hereto by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized insured overnight delivery service.

(b) The Financing Party hereby acknowledges that receipt of an Exception Report and the failure to deliver certain specified documents as noted therein will not constitute a Default or Event of Default under the Transaction Documents.

(c) Under no circumstances shall the Custodian be obligated to verify the authenticity of any signature (except those signature provided in Exhibits L and M hereto) on any of the documents received or examined by it in connection with this Agreement or the authority or capacity of any person to execute or issue any such document, nor shall the Custodian be responsible for the value, form, substance, validity, perfection, priority, effectiveness or enforceability of any of such documents.

It is specifically agreed that the Custodian shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.

(f) No Trust Receipt shall be valid for any purpose unless substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and executed by manual signature of an Authorized Representative of the Custodian. Such signature upon any Trust Receipt shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Trust Receipt has been duly delivered under this Agreement. Trust Receipts bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, Authorized Representatives of the Custodian shall bind the Custodian, notwithstanding that such individuals have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of those Trust Receipts. Each Trust Receipt shall have attached thereto a Loan Data Transmission with an Exception Report with respect to the applicable Mortgage Assets and shall otherwise comply with Section 4(f) of this Agreement.

(g) Upon the delivery of a Trust Receipt by the Custodian to the Financing Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any prior Trust Receipt relating to the same Mortgage Assets shall be cancelled without any further action of any party and be deemed void.

(b) Upon surrender of the Trust Receipt by the Financing Party to the Custodian, the Financing Party may issue instructions regarding the Mortgage Assets designated in the applicable Trust Receipt, including instructions, if an Event of Default under the related Transaction has occurred (and not otherwise except as provided in Section 21(c)), to withdraw Mortgage Assets.

(c) In the event a Trust Receipt is lost, destroyed or otherwise unavailable for surrender to the Custodian, the Financing Party will present to the Custodian documentation in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto. Upon receipt by the Custodian of such documentation, such Financing Party will have the right to issue instructions regarding the Mortgage Assets covered by a Trust Receipt without surrender of the related Trust Receipt.

(d) The Custodian shall cause to be kept at its corporate trust office a register (the “Custodial Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Custodian shall reflect the control of Mortgage Assets as confirmed by Trust Receipts as herein provided. The Custodial Register shall be deemed to contain proprietary information and Custodian, Sellers and the Financing Party shall have access to such information.

(e) In the event that (i) the Financing Party, any related Seller, or the Custodian shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Mortgage File or any document included within a Mortgage File or (ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding by which any Mortgage File or a document included within a Mortgage File shall be required to be delivered otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other applicable parties to this Agreement copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. The Custodian shall, to the extent the Custodian, in its sole discretion, concludes is permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all the Mortgage Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such court, the Custodian shall release, according to the provisions of this agreement, such Mortgage File or any document included within such Mortgage File as directed by the Financing Party or the related Seller, as applicable, which shall give a direction consistent with such determination. Expenses of the Custodian (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and related expenses) incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the related Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the Custodian will not be liable for taking any action, or not taking any action, that the Custodian, in its sole discretion, concludes is required by law.

All documents so released to the related Seller or its designee shall be held by it in trust for the benefit of the Financing Party. Such Seller or its designee shall return to the Custodian the Mortgage File or such documents when its need therefor in connection with servicing no longer exists.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the sale to a third party purchaser of any of the Mortgage Assets and until the Custodian is otherwise notified in writing by the Financing Party, which notice shall be given by the Financing Party only following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the related Transaction, the Custodian is hereby authorized, upon receipt of a Request for Release, to release or cause to be released to the related third party purchaser the Mortgage File or the documents of the related Mortgage File set forth in such Request for Release together with a Transmittal Letter, which shall be acknowledged and agreed to by such third party or its designee; provided, that if any such Request for Release involves the Custodian delivering more than 200 Mortgage Files to a third party (other than to a trustee in connection with a securitization of the Mortgage Assets) such Request for Release shall be made on not less than two (2) Business Day’s prior notice; provided further, that any document released to a third party purchaser pursuant to a Request for Release shall be returned to Custodian no later than ten (10) calendar days from the date on such transmittal letter, or such longer period as the Financing Party may consent to, unless prior thereto Custodian receives notice from the Financing Party that it has received the “Payoff Amount” set forth therein.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Custodian shall not at any time exercise or seek to enforce any claim, right or remedy, including any statutory or common law rights of set-off, if any, that the Custodian might otherwise have against all or any part of a Mortgage File or the proceeds thereof.

Upon at least one Business Day’s written notice to the Custodian, the Financing Party, the related Seller, or their duly authorized representatives, may at any time, during ordinary business hours, inspect and examine the Mortgage Files and any other documents, records and papers in the possession of or under the control of the Custodian relating to any or all of the Mortgage Assets at such place or places where such Mortgage Files are deposited. The examining party shall be responsible for any reasonable expenses in

connection with such examinations. Upon the written request of the related Seller or Financing Party, the Custodian shall provide the related Seller or Financing Party, as the case may be, at such requesting party’s expense, with copies of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, Assignment of Mortgages and other documents relating to one or more of the Mortgage Assets.

SECTION 11. Custodian’s Fees and Expenses.

The Custodian hereby acknowledges that the Sellers have agreed to pay all fees due and owing to, and except as otherwise provided herein, any expenses incurred by the Custodian associated with the Mortgage Files delivered by each Seller under this Agreement. The fees due to the Custodian for its services hereunder shall be as set forth in a separate agreement between the Custodian and the Sellers. In addition to the fees referred to in the two foregoing sentences, the Sellers have agreed to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Custodian in connection with the review of each Mortgage File delivered by each Seller or its agent and the Custodian’s issuance of a Trust Receipt relating thereto. The Financing Party shall not have any liability or obligation to pay any fees or expenses of the Custodian, and the duties of the Custodian hereunder shall be independent of each Seller’s performance of its obligations to the Custodian in respect of such fees.

SECTION 12. Termination of Agreement.

This Agreement shall become effective on and as of the date hereof and shall terminate upon the written consent of the parties hereto.

In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Custodian shall follow the reasonable instructions of the Financing Party with respect to the disposition of the respective Mortgage Files. Concurrently with the transfer and release of all of the Mortgage Files by the Custodian, the related Trust Receipts shall be deemed void and cancelled.

SECTION 13. Limitation on Obligations of the Custodian.

(a) Custodian and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact, and employees shall be liable for its or their failure to perform its or their obligations under this Agreement, its breach of any of the representations or warranties contained herein and its own or such person’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event shall the Custodian or its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact, and employees be held liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

(b) The Custodian shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein, and no further duties or obligations shall arise by implication or otherwise. The Custodian agrees to use its best judgment and good faith in the performance of such obligations and duties and shall incur no liability to Sellers for its acts or omissions hereunder, except as may result from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Custodian shall also be entitled to rely (and shall be protected in relying) upon the advice of its external legal counsel and to rely upon any written notice, document, correspondence, request or directive received by it from the Financing Party or Sellers, as the case may be, that the Custodian believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper and duly authorized officer or representative thereof, and shall not be obligated to inquire as to the authority or power of any Person so executing or presenting such documents or as to the truthfulness of any statements set forth therein. No provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it.

(c) The Custodian shall at its own expense maintain at all times during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect (i) fidelity insurance, (ii) theft and loss of documents insurance, (iii) forgery insurance, and (iv) errors and omissions insurance. All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, as are customary for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as the Custodian in similar transactions. The Custodian shall, upon written request, provide to Sellers, or to any other Person as Sellers shall direct, a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Custodian certifying that the foregoing insurance policies are in full force and effect. The Custodian shall use its best efforts to ensure that such insurance shall not terminate prior to receipt by the Financing Party by registered mail of 30 days’ prior written notice of any such termination.

(d) The Custodian shall not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement, other than for the Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses.

(e) The Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for, and makes no representation or warranty with respect to, the validity, adequacy or perfection of any lien upon or security interest in any Mortgage Asset.

(f) The Custodian shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terrorism, epidemics, governmental or regulatory actions, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, or earthquakes (each a “Force Majeure Event”). The Custodian agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event. The Custodian further agrees that it shall give notice (including a reasonable description of such Force Majeure Event) to the other parties hereto within a reasonable time of the Custodian having notice or knowledge of such Force Majeure Event and use its best efforts to resume performance as promptly as practicable under the circumstances. Custodian further represents that it has developed and implemented a business continuity plan as required by its regulators.

(g) The duties and obligations of the Custodian shall only be such as are expressly set forth in this Agreement or as set forth in a written amendment to this Agreement executed by the parties hereto or their successors and assigns. In the event that any provision of this Agreement implies or requires that action or forbearance be taken by a party, but is silent as to which party has the duty to act or refrain from acting, the parties agree that the Custodian shall not be the party required to take the action or refrain from acting. In no event shall the Custodian have any responsibility to ascertain or take action except as expressly provided herein.

(h) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose on the Custodian any duty to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction, other than (i) any jurisdiction where any Mortgage Asset is or may be held by the Custodian from time to time hereunder, and (ii) any jurisdiction where its ownership of property or conduct of business requires such qualification and where failure to qualify could have a material adverse effect on the Custodian or its property or business or on the ability of the Custodian to perform it duties hereunder.

(i) The Custodian shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not any cash amount or payment has been received by the Financing Party, the Sellers or any third person.

SECTION 14. Indemnification.

Each Seller agrees to reimburse, indemnify and hold the Custodian and its directors, officers, agents and employees harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, or out-of-pocket expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or not taken by it or them hereunder unless such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, or out-of-pocket expenses were imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Custodian because of the breach by the Custodian of its obligations hereunder including, without limitation, any breach of the representations and warranties contained herein, or caused by the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any resignation or removal of the Custodian or the termination or assignment of this Agreement.

In the event that the Custodian fails to produce a Mortgage Note, Assignment of Mortgage or any other document related to a Mortgage Asset that was in its possession pursuant to Section 3 within two (2) Business Days after written request therefor by the Financing Party or the related Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that (i) Custodian previously delivered to such Financing Party a Trust Receipt which did not list such document as an Exception as of the related date of delivery to the Custodian; (ii) such document is not outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F; and (iii) such document was held by the Custodian on behalf of the related Seller or the Financing Party, as applicable (a “Failure to Deliver”), then the Custodian shall (a) with respect to any missing Mortgage Note, promptly and upon request deliver to the Financing Party or the related Seller, a Lost Note Affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and (b) with respect to any missing document related to such Mortgage Asset, including but not limited to a missing Mortgage Note, indemnify the related Seller or the Financing Party in accordance with the succeeding paragraph of this Section 14.

The Custodian agrees to indemnify and hold the Financing Party and the Sellers harmless against liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, actions, judgments, suits, costs, or out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them relating to or arising out of a Failure to Deliver or the Custodian’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed that the Custodian shall not be obligated under the preceding sentence to any party to the extent that any such claim, liability, loss, action, suit or proceeding or other expense, fee or charge shall have been caused by reason of any negligent act, negligent failure to act, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such party or by reason of such party’s breach of its obligations hereunder. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination or assignment of this Agreement. In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, officers, agents or employees be held liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or any of them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

SECTION 25. Indulgences, Waivers, Amendments.

Whenever we send you Documents to be covered by this letter agreement, we will send such Documents to you under a transmittal letter identifying the specific documents delivered, and the Mortgage Assets to which they relate, with a space at the end of the letter for you to sign and to acknowledge your receipt of such Documents. Upon your receipt of any such Documents, you hereby agree to fax to the Financing Party and the Custodian, no later than three (3) Business Days after your receipt thereof, our transmittal letter, signed in the acknowledgment space by you, pursuant to which you (i) acknowledge receipt of the Documents listed in the transmittal letter, and (ii) acknowledge that with respect to such listed documents you are acting as bailee of the Financing Party in accordance with the terms of this Attorney’s Bailee Letter.
