The holder of this Trust Receipt also is advised to contact the Buyer or its agent to determine whether (i) Buyer has entered into repurchase transactions with respect to or pledged or assigned its ownership in the Mortgage Loans set forth on the attached Custodian Loan Transmission as collateral for an obligation of Buyer or (ii) any of the Mortgage Files with respect to the Mortgage Loans set forth on the attached Custodian Loan Transmission have been released from Custodian’s possession as provided in the Tri-Party Custody Agreement.

     Custodian makes no representations as to and shall not be responsible for or required to verify (A) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, effectiveness, recordability, insurability, sufficiency, value, form, substance, or genuineness of any of the documents contained in each Mortgage File or (B) the collectibility, ownership, insurability, validity, transferability, insurability, value, effectiveness, perfection, priority or suitability of any Mortgage Loan, and shall have no obligation to determine that any of such documents delivered to it hereunder have been actually recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
