Debt Service Reserve Account Borrower shall fund and maintain a debt service reserve in the Debt Service Reserve Account, in an amount equal to twelve (12) monthly payments of principal and interest on the Term Loan as determined from time to time by the Lender (the “Debt Service Reserve Amount”). Beginning with the first fiscal year end after the Effective Date, and at each fiscal year end thereafter, until such time as the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account is equal to or greater than the Debt Service Reserve Amount, one hundred percent (100%) of Excess Cash Flow shall be deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Account by Borrower within 120 days of each fiscal year end. The balance held in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall earn interest at the rate determined by the Lender from time to time. If at any time after the Debt Service Reserve Amount has been fully funded by the Borrower the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account is less than sixty-seven percent (67.0%) of the applicable Debt Service Reserve Amount, the Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice from the Lender as provided herein, deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account an amount sufficient to restore the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account to an amount not less than the Debt Service Reserve Amount; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to make a deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account to the extent that such a deposit would exceed one hundred percent (100%) of Excess Cash Flow, calculated based upon unaudited monthly financial statements required by Section 5.01(c)(ii) of this Agreement for the month ending immediately prior to receipt of notice from the Lender. In the event that Borrower is not required to fully restore the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Borrower shall at the earliest possible date thereafter, to the extent of Excess Cash Flow determined on unaudited monthly financial statements required by Section 5.01(c)(ii) of this Agreement or audited financial statements required by Section 5.01(c)(i) of this Agreement, as applicable, deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account such additional amounts as will restore the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account to an amount not less than the Debt Service Reserve Amount. As and when any of the Loan Obligations are past due, after any applicable grace periods have expired, under any Loan Document, Lender, in its sole discretion, may withdraw from the Debt Service Reserve Account the amount of the then past due Loan Obligations and apply such amounts to the payment of the past due Loan Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents, the Lender may, after any applicable grace periods have expired, withdraw amounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account, in its sole discretion, and apply such amounts to the payment of the Loan Obligations in such order and manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. Withdrawals by the Lender of any amounts from the Debt Service Reserve Account to pay any Loan Obligations as provided in this Section 2.14 may be made without the requirement of any consent by or notice to the Borrower, provided that Lender shall provide to Borrower notice that such withdrawal was made within a reasonable time thereafter. Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that its obligation to pay the Loan Obligations are absolute and unconditional and it is not dependent upon sufficient deposits in the Debt Service Reserve Account being available to make payment on any Loan Obligations, and nothing herein shall be construed to negate or modify the Borrower’s absolute and unconditional obligation to pay the Loan Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender any and all deposit account control agreements the Lender may reasonably request in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, and take all actions and deliver all documents the Lender may reasonably request or require to perfect the Lender’s security interest in the Debt Service Reserve Account, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.
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.
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.
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).
Reserve Account Draw Amount On or before two Business Days before a Payment Date, the Servicer will calculate the Reserve Account Draw Amount for the Payment Date and will direct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Reserve Account and deposit the Reserve Account Draw Amount into the Collection Account on or before the Payment Date.
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.
Targeted Deposits to the Accumulation Reserve Account The deposit targeted to be made to the Accumulation Reserve Subaccount for the Class A( - ) Notes for any Due Period during the Accumulation Reserve Funding Period will be an amount equal to the Targeted Accumulation Reserve Subaccount Deposit minus any amount on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Subaccount for the Class A( - ) Notes.]
Replacement Reserve Fund Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date and on each Payment Date one twelfth of the amount (the "REPLACEMENT RESERVE MONTHLY DEPOSIT") reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the "REPLACEMENTS"), which Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be in an amount equal to no less than $0.15 per year per square foot of gross leasable area. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's "REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND" and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's "REPLACEMENT RESERVE ACCOUNT". Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property. Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for the Property shall be retained by Lender in an interest bearing account, or, at the option of Lender, in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Replacement Reserve Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, Borrower shall not be required to make Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits, provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred; and (ii) Borrower makes all necessary Replacements and otherwise maintains the Property to Lender's satisfaction. Upon notice from Lender following: (a) an Event of Default; or (b) the failure of Borrower to make necessary Replacements or otherwise maintain the Property to Lender's satisfaction, Borrower shall begin to deposit the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit into the Replacement Reserve Fund beginning on the Payment Date (as defined herein) immediately following the date of such notice.
Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Accounts and Certificate Account (a) Each Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the related Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to such Servicer (to the extent not previously retained by such Servicer) the servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.14, and to pay to such Servicer, as additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or credited to such Collection Account;
(ii) to reimburse such Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the Non-Designated Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made (including without limitation, late recoveries of payments, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds to the extent received by such Servicer);
(iii) to reimburse such Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance previously made or any amount expended pursuant to Section 3.11(a);
(iv) to reimburse such Servicer for (A) unreimbursed Servicing Advances, such Servicer’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (A) with respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts received on such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest (including, without limitation, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan) respecting which any such advance was made and (B) for unpaid Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11 hereof;
(v) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Non-Designated Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase;
(vi) to make any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.07(g);
(vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in such Collection Account and not required to be deposited therein;
(viii) on the Cash Remittance Date, to withdraw an amount equal to the portion of the Available Distribution Amount applicable to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer, who will remit the aggregate of such amounts to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account;
(ix) with respect to each Non-Designated Mortgage Loan covered by a Lender Paid Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy, to effect timely payment of the premiums on such Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy pursuant to Section 3.09(c) to the extent not deducted by such Servicer prior to deposit into the applicable Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(c); and
(x) to clear and terminate such Collection Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof. Each Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the related Collection Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v). Prior to making any withdrawal from a Collection Account pursuant to subclause (iii) of a Nonrecoverable Advance, the related Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator a certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance or Servicing Advance determined by such Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance. In connection with the payment of a Purchase Price, if a Servicer is not required to remit unreimbursed Servicing Advances as specified in the definition of Purchase Price, such Servicer shall be deemed to have been reimbursed for such amount.
(b) The Trust Administrator shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to withhold pursuant to Section 2.07). In addition, the Trust Administrator may from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trust Administrator Fees to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 10.05 and any investment income earned for the related Distribution Date, and to pay to itself or the Master Servicer any other amounts in respect of reimbursement of costs, expenses, indemnification or other amounts to which it or the Master Servicer is entitled to reimbursement or payment under the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) to withdraw and return to the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, in the case of the applicable Servicer for deposit to the applicable Collection Account, any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and not required to be deposited therein; and
(iii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof.
Custodial Account Funds in any custodial accounts established by the Servicer and maintained in respect of the REMIC may be invested and, if invested, shall be invested in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer which shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Remittance Date, and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the REMIC or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be, as long as the Servicer is servicing the Mortgage Loans held by the REMIC, for the benefit of the Servicer as additional compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the relevant account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized. The foregoing requirements for deposit in such account are exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in such account and, as long as the Servicer is servicing the Mortgage Loans held by the REMIC, payments in the nature of prepayment fees, late payment charges, assumption fees or any similar fees customarily associated with the servicing mortgage loans paid by any mortgagor need not be deposited by the Servicer in such account and may be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. If the Servicer deposits in such account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
