Collateral received shall be held in safekeeping for the UCITS by the depositary or its agent. This section explains the collateral policy applied by the management company in such cases. Within the meaning of this section, all assets received by the management company in the name and for the account of the UCITS (securities lending, asset-based annuities transactions, reverse annuity transactions) within the scope of efficient portfolio manage- ment techniques shall be treated as collateral. The management company can use the collateral it receives to reduce the counterparty risk provided it abides by the criteria set forth in the applicable laws, regulations, and FMA-issued guidelines, particularly with respect to liquidi- ty, valuation, issuer credit rating, correlation, risks in conjunction with the ad- ministration of collateral and realizability. Mainly, collateral should fulfill the fol- lowing conditions: All non-cash forms of collateral should be of good quality and high liquidity and be traded on a regulated market or a multilateral trading system with transparent pricing so that they can quickly be sold at a price that roughly corresponds with the valuation prior to a sale. They should be valued at least daily, and assets subject to high price volatility should be accepted as collateral only if an adequately conservative discount (haircut) is applied. They should be issued by an entity that is not affiliated with the counterparty and is therefore not likely to exhibit any strong correlation with the perfor- xxxxx of the counterparty. They should be sufficiently diversified across countries, markets, and issuers and correspond to a maximum aggregate commitment of 20% of the net asset value (NAV) of the UCITS in any single issuer under consideration of all collat- eral received. If it complies with the rules in 6.3.5 – 6.3.7 above, the UCITS may deviate from that benchmark. At all times, they should be realizable by the management company without recourse to or approval by the counterparty. The management company shall determine the required worth of the collat- eral for transactions with OTC derivatives and for efficient portfolio manage- ment techniques under consideration ...

Collateral policy and investment of collateral General. In conjunction with transactions in OTC financial derivatives and efficient portfolio management techniques, the Manage- ment Company can in the name and on the account of the fund take receipt of collateral in order to reduce its counter- party risk. Received collateral must be deposited for the fund with the Custodian or with its agent. This section describes the collateral policy applied by the Management Company in these cases. All of the assets received by the management company in the name and on the account of the UCITS (securities lending, securities repurchase transactions, reverse repurchase transactions) within the context of efficient portfolio management techniques shall be treated as collateral within the meaning of this section. The Management Company can use the collateral it receives to reduce the counterparty risk, provided that it adheres to the criteria set out in the respective applicable statutory provisions, regulations and guidelines issued by the FMA, above all in terms of liquidity, valuation, creditworthiness of the issuer, correlation, risks associated with the administration of collateral and realisability. Collateral should fulfil above all the following conditions: Liquidity Any collateral other than cash or sight deposits must be highly liquid at a transparent price and must be traded on a regulated market or within a multilateral trading system. In addition, collateral with a short settlement cycle is preferable to collateral with a long settlement cycle because it can be converted into cash more quickly.

The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. (b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans.

In the event that the Company gains knowledge that as of the Closing Date, a Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% and is not the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy (and was not included in any exception to the representation in Section 2.03(b)(iv)) and that such Mortgage Loan has a current Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80% then the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain a Primary Insurance Policy to the extent that such a policy is obtainable at a reasonable price. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, or consent to any Subservicer canceling or refusing to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is acceptable to each Rating Agency for mortgage pass-through certificates having a rating equal to or better than the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to the Certificates as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency. (b) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present or to cause the related Subservicer to present, on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Subservicer, if any, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the related Insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance with such policies, and, in this regard, to take or cause to be taken such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any Insurance Proceeds collected by or remitted to the Master Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
