Interest Rate Cap Agreement (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall have obtained the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be maintained throughout the term of the Loan with an Acceptable Counterparty. If, at any time, the interest rate cap provider ceases to be an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement at Borrower’s sole cost and expense within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from Lender that the interest rate cap provider is no longer an Acceptable Counterparty.
(b) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and shall deliver to Lender counterparts of such Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement executed by Borrower and the Acceptable Counterparty and notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such collateral assignment (either in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall execute and deliver at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such documents as may be required to evidence Lender’s release of the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement and to notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such release.
(c) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into an account designated by Lender. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, or fails to maintain such agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall, within a reasonable period of time after the effectiveness of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, obtain and deliver to Lender (1) a confirmation evidencing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (2) any guaranty or guaranties therefor, (3) executed counterparts to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Cap Agreement, and (4) an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Cap Agreement, as applicable, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Acceptable Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Acceptable Counterparty, enforceable against the Acceptable Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.24 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, Lender converts the Loan from a LIBOR Rate Loan to either a Base Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.4 above (each, a “LIBOR Conversion”), then within thirty (30) days after such LIBOR Conversion, Borrower shall either (A) enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause (f), Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement) or (B) cause the then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement to be modified such that such then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement satisfies the requirements of a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement as set forth below in the definition thereof (a “Converted Interest Rate Protection Agreement”).
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).
REMIC Certificate Maturity Date Solely for purposes of satisfying Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" of the regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC is October 25, 2035.
Certificates Issuable in Classes; Distributions of Principal and Interest; Authorized Denominations The aggregate principal amount of the Certificates that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement is limited to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, except for Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03. Such aggregate principal amount shall be allocated among one or more Classes having designations, types of interests, initial per annum Certificate Interest Rates, initial Class Principal Balances and Final Maturity Dates as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement. The aggregate Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates of which the Class Principal Balance equals zero as of the Cut-Off Date that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement is limited to 100%. Certificates shall be issued in Authorized Denominations.
Original Class B Principal Balance The Original Class B Principal Balance is $12,006,549.92.
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.
Subordinate Certificate Loss Coverage; Limited Guaranty Subject to subsection (c) below, prior to the later of the third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date or the related Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether it or any Sub-Servicer will be entitled to any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(a) on such Distribution Date for Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances previously made, (which will not be Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances that were made with respect to delinquencies which were subsequently determined to be Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses) and, if so, the Master Servicer shall demand payment from Residential Funding of an amount equal to the amount of any Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.02(a), to the extent such Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances have not been included in the amount of the Realized Loss in the related Mortgage Loan, and shall distribute the same to the Class B Certificateholders in the same manner as if such amount were to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a).
Interest Rate Protection Agreement (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Protection Agreement. The Interest Rate Protection Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (it being agreed that the items in clauses (ii) through (v) below shall not be subject to Administrative Agent approval), (ii) shall at all times be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists or any amounts remain due and owing to Administrative Agent or the Lenders, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Properties are transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a term through the then-applicable Maturity Date of the Loan and (v) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall at all times provide for the applicable Strike Price. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement (the “Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement”), all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Protection Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account) and shall notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such assignment.
(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement to Borrower or Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders shall be directly deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to enforce Administrative Agent’s rights under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty by any Rating Agency such that it is no longer an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall either (i) replace or cause the cap provider to replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement not later than the period of time provided for in such Interest Rate Protection Agreement following such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) or (ii) if provided in such Interest Rate Protection Agreement, in the case of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the Rating of such Acceptable Counterparty, cause the Acceptable Counterparty to deliver collateral to secure Borrower’s exposure under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in such amount and pursuant to such terms as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Administrative Agent the Interest Rate Protection Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the cost incurred by Administrative Agent in purchasing such Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Administrative Agent until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Administrative Agent.
(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days following (x) the date upon which an Interest Rate Protection Agreement is required pursuant to Section 2.2.7(a) or (y) the first day of any applicable Extension Option, as applicable (i) a resolution/consent, as applicable, of the Acceptable Counterparty authorizing the delivery of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement acceptable to Administrative Agent, and (ii) an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns for the benefit of Lenders and their successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Protection Agreement;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv) the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Acceptable Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Acceptable Counterparty, enforceable against the Acceptable Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(f) At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Administrative Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall terminate and Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver such documents as may be required to evidence Administrative Agent’s release of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement on behalf of Lenders and to notify Acceptable Counterparty of such release.
Trust Administrator Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Master Servicer or a Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trust Administrator makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trust Administrator shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Servicers of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Depositor, the Sellers or the Master Servicer or the Servicers. The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued or intended to be issued hereunder. The Trust Administrator shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection for any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement.
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.
