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.

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.
