Reserve Account (i) On the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit the Specified Reserve Balance into the Reserve Account. Amounts held from time to time in the Reserve Account shall be held by the Trust Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(ii) The Seller may, from time to time after the date hereof, request each Rating Agency to approve a formula for determining the Specified Reserve Balance that is different from the formula set forth herein, which may result in a decrease in the amount of the Specified Reserve Balance or change the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if each Rating Agency then rating the Notes notifies the Seller (who shall send such notification to the Trust Collateral Agent) in writing that the use of any such new formula, and any decrease in the amount of the Specified Reserve Balance or change in the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded, will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then current rating of the Notes then the Specified Reserve Balance will be determined in accordance with such new formula and this Agreement will be amended to reflect such new formula without the consent of any Noteholder.
(iii) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trust Collateral Agent (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) (A) if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account (without taking into account any amount on deposit in the Reserve Account representing net investment earnings) is less than the Specified Reserve Balance, in which case the Trust Collateral Agent shall, after payment of any amounts required to be distributed pursuant to clauses (i) through (xviii) of Section 5.7(a) deposit in the Reserve Account the Reserve Account Deposit Amount pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(xix), and (B) if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account, after giving effect to all other deposits thereto and withdrawals therefrom to be made on such Distribution Date is greater than the Specified Reserve Balance, in which case the Trust Collateral Agent shall distribute the amount of such excess as part of Available Funds on such Distribution Date.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trust Collateral Agent (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) to withdraw the Reserve Account Withdrawal Amount from the Reserve Account and deposit such amounts in the Collection Account to be included as Total Available Funds for that Distribution Date.
(c) Amounts properly transferred to the Certificate Distribution Account for payment to the Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement shall not be available to the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trust for the purpose of making deposits to the Reserve Account, or making payments to the Noteholders, nor shall the Certificateholder be required to refund any amount properly received by them.
Yield Supplement Account On the Closing Date, the Seller will deposit the Yield Supplement Account Deposit to the Yield Supplement Account from the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes. The Yield Supplement Account shall be the property of the Issuer subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders.

Collection Account (a) On behalf of the Trustee, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more segregated Eligible Accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee.

(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the extent such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be applied to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the express requirements of law or in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with this Agreement; and

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof.
Establishment of Collection Account (a) The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish the Collection Account in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders. The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account initially established with the Indenture Trustee and maintained with the Indenture Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event that the Collection Account maintained with the Indenture Trustee is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, then the Servicer shall, with the Indenture Trustee’s assistance, as necessary, use reasonable efforts to cause the Collection Account to be moved to an Eligible Institution within thirty days.
(b) For so long as the Collection Account is maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account, all amounts held in these accounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in Eligible Investments; otherwise such amounts shall be maintained in cash. Earnings on investment of funds in these accounts (net of losses and investment expenses) shall be paid to the Servicer on each Payment Date as servicing compensation, and any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the related account.
(c) For so long as Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the Indenture Trustee, the Collection Account shall be maintained with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as an Eligible Deposit Account. In the event that the long-term debt rating of the Indenture Trustee does not satisfy clause (a) of the definition of Eligible Deposit Account, the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Indenture Trustee, as necessary, use reasonable efforts to cause the Collection Account to be moved to an Eligible Institution or an account otherwise satisfying the requirements of clause (b) of the definition of Eligible Deposit Account (which may be an account with the Indenture Trustee) within thirty days.
(d) The Indenture Trustee shall transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection Account on the Payment Date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full (or substantially all of the Trust Estate is otherwise released from the lien of the Indenture) to the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholder, and to take all necessary or appropriate actions to transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Collection Account, all funds or investments held or to be held therein and all proceeds thereof, to the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholder, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture with respect to amounts held for payment to the Noteholders that do not promptly deliver a Note for payment on such Payment Date.
(e) With respect to the Collection Account and all property held therein, the Issuer agrees, by its acceptance hereof that, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, for so long as Notes of any Class remain outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest therein (excluding interest or investment income thereon payable to the Servicer), and that such account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholder, as set forth in the Indenture. The parties hereto agree that the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee upon an Event of Default resulting in an acceleration of the Notes or liquidation of the Trust Estate or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account for the purpose of permitting the Servicer, Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or under the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.
