Supplemental Interest Trust (a) A separate trust is hereby established (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”), the corpus of which shall be held by the Securities Administrator, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates. The Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility with respect to the Supplemental Interest Trust and shall have no liability to the Certificateholders or Swap Counterparty with respect to the Supplemental Interest Trust or the funds held in or distributed from the Supplemental Interest Account. On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate account for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest Account”), into which the Depositor shall initially deposit $1,000. The Supplemental Interest Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Account the amount withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.11(b)(iii). The Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Account any amounts required to be paid to the Swap Provider pursuant to the preceding sentence and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Account any such amounts to the Swap Provider as required by Section 4.10 on each Swap Payment Date. The Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Account any Net Swap Payments received from the Swap Provider and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Account any such amounts to holders of the Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.10.
(c) Funds in the Supplemental Interest Account shall remain uninvested. The Class C Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax purposes and the Holder thereof shall direct the Securities Administrator, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein.
(d) Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Supplemental Interest Account after payment of amounts owing to the Swap Provider shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 4.10.
(e) It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the holder for the Class C Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is recharacterized as representing ownership of an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax purposes.
(f) The Securities Administrator is hereby directed, on or prior to the Closing Date, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, to enter into and assume the obligations under the Swap Agreement with the Swap Provider for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, in the form presented to it by the Depositor. The Depositor shall pay or cause to be paid on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust the payments, if any, owed to the Swap Provider as of the Closing Date under the Swap Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall not, individually or personally, have any liability to perform any covenant either express or implied contained in the Swap Agreement and under no circumstance shall the Securities Administrator be personally liable for the payment of any amounts payable by the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement or any expenses of the Supplemental Interest Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement.
Grantor Trust The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Sponsor is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.
Payments from Owner Trust Estate All payments to be made by the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party shall be made only from the income and proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate and only to the extent that the Owner Trustee shall have received income or proceeds from the Owner Trust Estate to make such payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Wilmington Trust Company or any successor thereto, in its individual capacity, shall not be liable for any amounts payable under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party.
Pre-Funding Account (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain a trust account which at all times shall be an Eligible Account and shall be titled “Pre-Funding Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, in trust for the registered holders of Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2006-AR2, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates” (the “Pre-Funding Account”). The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Pre-Funding Account and retain therein the Original Pre-Funded Amount remitted on the Closing Date by the Depositor. Funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set forth herein.
(b) The Securities Administrator will invest funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account only as directed in writing by the Depositor (and such amounts shall not be invested if no direction is received by Securities Administrator) in Permitted Investments with a maturity date (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment or (iii) within one (1) Business Day of the Securities Administrator’s receipt thereof. For federal income tax purposes, the Depositor shall be the owner of the Pre-Funding Account and shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account shall be transferred to the Depositor. The Depositor shall deposit in the Pre-Funding Account the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss without any right of reimbursement therefor. At no time will the Pre-Funding Account be an asset of any REMIC created hereunder.
(c) Amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall be withdrawn by the Securities Administrator as follows:
(i) On any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to 100% of the Principal Balances of the related Subsequent Loans as of the Subsequent Cut-Off Date, transferred and assigned to the Trustee for deposit in the Trust Fund on such Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of the Depositor upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.6 with respect to such transfer and assignment;
(ii) If the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account (exclusive of any investment income therein) has not been reduced to zero during the Pre-Funding Period, on the Distribution Date immediately following the termination of the Pre-Funding Period, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Distribution Account any amounts remaining in the Pre-Funding Account (exclusive of any investment income therein) for distribution in accordance with the terms hereof;
(iii) To withdraw any amount not required to be deposited in the Pre-Funding Account or deposited therein in error; and
(iv) To clear and terminate the Pre-Funding Account upon the earlier to occur of (A) the Distribution Date immediately following the end of the Pre-Funding Period and (B) the termination of this Agreement, with any amounts remaining on deposit therein being paid to the Holders of the Class A Certificates then entitled to distributions in respect of principal. Withdrawals pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be treated as contributions of cash to REMIC I on the date of withdrawal.
Trust Fund The Buyer is a trust fund whose trustee is a bank or trust company and whose participants are exclusively (a) plans established and maintained by a State, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of the State or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees, or (b) employee benefit plans within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, but is not a trust fund that includes as participants individual retirement accounts or H.R. 10
Swap Account (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of MASTR Second Lien Trust 2006-1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-1—Swap Account” (the “Swap Account”). Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested. The Swap Account shall be an asset of the Supplemental Interest Trust, but shall not be an asset of any REMIC.
(b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall deposit into the Swap Account: (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment (other than any Swap Termination Payment resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to the Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement) from funds collected and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination of Available Funds and (ii) amounts received by the Trust Administrator from the Swap Administrator, for distribution in accordance with subsection (d) below, pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the Swap Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid in respect of the Class SWAP-IO Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class SWAP-IO Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined below).
(c) For federal income tax purposes, the Swap Account shall be owned by the beneficial owners of the Class CE Certificates.
(d) For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the regular interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Rate, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a regular interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in the Master REMIC and as having been paid by such Holders to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract. For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator shall treat such notional principal contract as having a value of $10,000 as of the Closing Date.
Principal Funding Account (a) The Trustee, or the Servicer, on its behalf, shall establish and maintain, in the name of the Trust, on behalf of the Trust, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Principal Funding Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Principal Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Principal Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If at any time the Principal Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Transferor shall notify the Trustee, and the Trustee upon being notified (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, within 10 Business Days, establish a new Principal Funding Account which meets the conditions specified in the definition of Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Principal Funding Account. The Trustee or the Paying Agent, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Principal Funding Account from time to time, in the amounts and for the purposes set forth in this Series Supplement, and (ii) on each Transfer Date (from and after the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period) prior to termination of the Principal Funding Account make a deposit into the Principal Funding Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, subsection 4.9(c).
(b) Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee or the Paying Agent in Permitted Investments. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Principal Funding Account on such Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the next succeeding Transfer Date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall maintain for the benefit of the Certificateholders possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such Permitted Investments. No Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity. On the Transfer Date occurring in the month following the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period, and on each Transfer Date thereafter with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, acting at the Servicer's direction given before each Transfer Date, shall transfer from the Principal Funding Account to the Finance Charge Account the Principal Funding Investment Proceeds, but not in excess of the Covered Amount, for application as Available Investor Finance Charge Collections applied pursuant to subsection 4.9(a). Any Excess Principal Funding Investment Proceeds shall be included as Available Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Transfer Date. An amount equal to any Principal Funding Investment Shortfall shall be deposited in the Finance Charge Account on each Transfer Date from the Accumulation Period Reserve Account to the extent funds are available pursuant to subsection 4.14(d) and included as Available Investor Finance Charge Collections for such Transfer Date. Principal Funding Investment Proceeds (including reinvested interest) shall not be considered part of the amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account for purposes of this Series Supplement.
REMIC Administrator: Residential Funding Corporation If Residential Funding Corporation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to no longer be able to fulfill its obligations as REMIC Administrator under this Agreement the Master Servicer or Trustee acting as Master Servicer shall appoint a successor REMIC Administrator, subject to assumption of the REMIC Administrator obligations under this Agreement.
Grantor Trust Administration (a) The Tax Administrator shall treat the Grantor Trust Pool, for tax return preparation purposes, as a Grantor Trust under the Code. The Tax Administrator shall also perform on behalf of the Grantor Trust Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such Grantor Trust Pool under the Code or any compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authorities. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator.
(b) The Tax Administrator shall pay out of its own funds any and all routine tax administration expenses of the Trust Fund incurred with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool (but not including any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Trust Fund that involve the IRS or state tax authorities which extraordinary expenses shall be payable or reimbursable to the Tax Administrator from the assets in the Grantor Trust Pool, unless otherwise provided in Section 10.02(e) or 10.02(f)).
(c) The Tax Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Tax Administrator) and timely file all of the Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust Pool. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. Except as provided in Section 10.02(h), 10.02(i) and 10.02(j), the Tax Administrator shall comply with such requirement by filing IRS Form 1041, indicating the name and address of the Trust and signed by the Tax Administrator but otherwise left blank, IRS Form 1099 or any other such form as may be applicable. There shall be appended to each such form a schedule for each Certificateholder indicating such Certificateholder’s share of income and expenses of the Trust for the portion of the preceding calendar year in which such Certificateholder possessed an Ownership Interest in a Certificate. Such form shall be prepared in sufficient detail to enable reporting on the cash or accrual method of accounting, as applicable, and to report on such Certificateholder’s fiscal year if other than the calendar year.
(d) The other parties hereto shall provide on a timely basis to the Tax Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool as is in its possession and reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this Section 10.02. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor, within ten (10) days following the Tax Administrator’s request therefor, shall provide in writing to the Tax Administrator such information as is reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator for tax purposes, and the Tax Administrator’s duty to perform its reporting and other tax compliance obligations under this Section 10.02 shall be subject to the condition that it receives from the Depositor such information possessed by the Depositor that is necessary to permit the Tax Administrator to perform such obligations.
(e) The Tax Administrator shall perform on behalf of the Grantor Trust Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are required in respect thereof under the Code, the Grantor Trust Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority, including the furnishing to Certificateholders of the schedules described in Section 10.02(c).
(f) The Tax Administrator shall perform its duties hereunder so as to maintain the status of the Grantor Trust Pool as Grantor Trust under the Grantor Trust Provisions (and the Trustee, the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall assist the Tax Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator and to the extent of information within the Trustee’s, the Master Servicers’ or the Special Servicers’ possession or control). None of the Tax Administrator, Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Trustee shall knowingly take (or cause the Grantor Trust Pool to take) any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the Grantor Trust Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event, unless the Tax Administrator has obtained or received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such action or at the expense of the Trust Fund if the Tax Administrator seeks to take such action or to refrain from taking any action for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event. None of the other parties hereto shall take any action or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Tax Administrator has advised it in writing that the Tax Administrator has received or obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse Grantor Trust Event could result from such action or failure to act. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool, or causing the Trust Fund to take any action, that is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall consult with the Tax Administrator or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse Grantor Trust Event to occur. The Tax Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the cost or expense of the Trust Fund, the Tax Administrator or the Trustee.
(g) If any tax is imposed on the Grantor Trust Pool pursuant to the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, then such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be charged to and paid by: (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (ii) the Certificate Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Certificate Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iii) the Tax Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Tax Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iv) a Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (v) a Special Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such Special Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); or (vi) the Trust, out of the Trust Fund, in all other instances. Any such amounts payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be paid by the Trustee out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.
(h) The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator shall provide such information in its possession to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis. With respect to the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates, the Tax Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Tax Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so, and is not in its possession, is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis. The Tax Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of a determination by the IRS that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph.
(i) The Tax Administrator, in its discretion, will report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Tax Administrator will be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Tax Administrator will make available WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Tax Administrator will not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.
(j) The Tax Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Tax Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Tax Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Tax Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Tax Administrator will assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.
(k) To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Tax Administrator will use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will not publish any associated Regulation S CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Tax Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Tax Administrator will not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.
Special Purpose Funding Vehicles Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Committed Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Committed Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
