A certificate of the respective insurer as to each such policy, with a copy of such policy attached, shall be furnished to Seller, upon request, containing the statement of the insurer or endorsement evidencing that such insurance shall not terminate prior to receipt by Seller, by registered mail, of 30 days’ prior written notice thereof.

The Delivered Mortgage Loans and the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall not be subject to any security interest, lien or right of set-off by Custodian or any third party claiming through Custodian, and Custodian shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party interest in, the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

(b)
The Custodian shall have responsibility only for the Mortgage Files and any other documents which have been actually delivered to it and which have not been released to Seller, the Owner, or their respective assignees or their respective agents or designees in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii)
Other than as otherwise expressly provided herein, Custodian shall not be under any duty to examine or pass upon the genuineness, validity or legal sufficiency of any of the documents constituting part of any Mortgage File, and shall be entitled to assume that all documents constituting part of such files are genuine and valid and that they are what they purport to be, and that any endorsements or assignments thereof are genuine and valid.
(iii)
No provision of this Agreement shall require Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights and powers, if, in its sole judgment, it shall believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it.
(iv)
Custodian is not 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 Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses.

The foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 17.

In the event that Custodian fails to produce a Mortgage Note, Assignment of Mortgage or any other document related to a Purchased Mortgage Loan that was in its possession pursuant to this Agreement within two (2) Business Days after required or requested by the Trustee (a “Custodial Delivery Failure”), and provided, that (i) Custodian previously delivered to the Trustee a Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to such document; (ii) such document is not outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release of Documents and Receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G; and (iii) such document was assigned or sold to Owner, then Custodian shall (a) with respect to any missing Mortgage Note, promptly deliver to the Trustee upon request, a Lost Note Affidavit in the form of Exhibit L annexed hereto and (b) with respect to any missing document related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan including but not limited to, a missing Mortgage Note, indemnify Owner in accordance with the succeeding paragraph of this Section 17. Custodian agrees to indemnify and hold the Owner and the Sellers and their designees harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements 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 such Custodial Delivery Failure or the Custodian’s negligence, willful misconduct, or lack of good faith.

The indemnification set forth in this section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the termination, resignation or removal of the Custodian.
Section 18.
Obligations of the Custodian Regarding Genuineness of Documents. In the absence of bad faith on the part of Custodian, Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instructions, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to Custodian, reasonably believed by Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement, but in the case of any loan document or other request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to Custodian, Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not it conforms to the requirements of this Agreeme nt, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Custodian is not required to determine if any document is in recordable form.
Section 19.
Periodic Statements. Custodian shall periodically provide to the Trustee or Seller, as the case may be, those reports, including a list of all the Purchased Mortgage Loans for which the Custodian holds a Mortgage File pursuant to this Agreement, as Trustee and Custodian mutually agree. Seller shall be entitled to copies of such reports upon reasonable request.

Section 20.
Shipment of Documents. Written Instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) that Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with transmission of Mortgage Files in the performance of the Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by Seller to Custodian prior to any shipment of any Mortgage Files hereunder. Seller will arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at Custodian’s option, reimburse Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by Custodian consistent with such instructions) and will maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Mortgage Files as Seller deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 17 above, it is expressly agreed that in no event shall Custodian have any liability for any losses or damages to any person, arising out of actions of Custodian in accordance with instructions of the Seller, unless such performance constitutes negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Custodian or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees.
