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.

In no case will any financial asset credited to the Collateral Account be registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent (in its capacity as such) or any Holder or specially indorsed to the Purchase Contract Agent (in its capacity as such) or any Holder, unless such financial asset has been further indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.
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.
Establishment of Certificate Distribution Account (a) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Owner Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Certificate Distribution Account (the "Certificate Distribution Account"), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Owner Trustee (or the Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee, if the Certificate Distribution Account is not then held by the Owner Trustee or an Affiliate thereof) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Certificate Distribution Account.
Interest Reserve Account The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Interest Reserve Account in the Certificate Administrator’s name, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Interest Reserve Account shall be established and maintained as a non-interest bearing Eligible Account. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in January (except during a leap year) or February (commencing in 2018) (unless, in either such case, the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, in respect of all the Mortgage Loans that accrue interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the related month, an amount equal to one day’s interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Distribution Date in the month preceding the month in which such Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs, to the extent a Monthly Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March (or February if the final Distribution Date occurs in such month) of each calendar year (commencing in 2018), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account the aggregate of all Withheld Amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account.
Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund (if any).
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(f)) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such amounts. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender's judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000.00.
Reserve Accounts All unexpended funds in project reserve accounts shall remain with the project to be used for the benefit of the property and/or its residents.
Establishment of Collateral Accounts Securities Intermediary acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it has established and is maintaining on its books and records the accounts identified on the attached Schedule 1 (each such account, together with any replacements thereof or substitutions therefor, the “Collateral Account” and such accounts, collectively, the “Collateral Accounts”) in the name of the Borrower; (ii) each Collateral Account is a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC) in respect of which Securities Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC and, with respect to any Book-Entry Security, within the meaning of Federal Book-Entry Regulations) and the Security Agent is the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC); provided, however, that if, notwithstanding the intention of the parties hereto, all or any portion of the Collateral Account is determined to be a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC) rather than a “securities account,” then the Securities Intermediary represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that it is a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC) and will treat the Borrower as its customer (within the meaning of Section 9-104(a)(3) of the UCC) with respect to the Collateral Accounts (or portion thereof); (iii) all property delivered, or to be delivered, to Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement is, and will be, promptly credited to the Collateral Accounts; (iv) it does not know of any claim to or interest in any Collateral Account or any assets or funds therein, except for claims and interests of the parties to this Agreement as set forth herein; and (v) it shall not change the name or account number of any Collateral Account without the prior written consent of the Security Agent. Except as provided in Section 2(b), Securities Intermediary agrees that it shall not take “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) or “instructions” (within the meaning of Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC) with respect to the Collateral Accounts or any assets or funds therein from any Person other than the Security Agent.
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, [_______________], as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of [_______________], New Century Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 200_-__, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates." The amount on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will consist of any amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4). All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Offered Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 4.01(a)(4).
(b) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Offered Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE-1 Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(a)(4), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Offered Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Offered Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a). On each Distribution Date, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Offered Certificates for such Distribution Date, shall be payable to the Trustee.
(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE-1 Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC III to the Holders of the Class CE-1 Interset and by the Class CE-1 Interest to the Class CE-1 Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Offered Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Offered Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

(xi) with respect to each Principal Prepayment, an amount (to be paid by the Seller out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor) which, when added to all amount allocable to interest received in connection with such Principle Prepayment, equals one month’s interest on the amount of the principal so prepaid at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate of deposits made by the Seller pursuant to this clause (xi) exceed the aggregate amount of the Servicing Fee in the calendar month in which such deposits are required. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial 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 and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller and the Seller shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 (iv).
