(ii) It shall be a swap disclosure event (“Swap Disclosure Event”) if, on any Business Day after the date hereof, MASTR notifies UBS AG the Significance Percentage has reached one of the thresholds for significance of derivative contracts set forth in Item 1115 of Regulation AB (based on a reasonable determination by MASTR, in good faith and using the Calculation Methodology, of such Significance Percentage).
(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event, UBS AG, at its own expense, shall provide to MASTR the applicable Swap Financial Disclosure (as defined below).
(iv) In the alternative to subparagraph (iii) above, upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event or at any time after complying with subparagraph (iii) above, UBS AG, may, at its option and at its own expense, (a) secure another entity to replace UBS AG as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement and subject to prior notification to the Swap Rating Agencies, which entity (or a guarantor therefor) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds (or which satisfies the Rating Agency Condition) and which entity is able to comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB or (b) obtain a guaranty of UBS AG’s obligations under this Agreement from an affiliate of UBS AG that is able to comply with the financial information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB, such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to the Swap Provider, and cause such affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by reference to or incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
(v) UBS AG agrees that, in the event that UBS AG provides Swap Financial Disclosure to MASTR in accordance with paragraph (iii) above, or causes its affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure to MASTR in accordance with paragraph (iv)(b) above, it will indemnify and hold harmless MASTR, its respective directors or officers and any person controlling MASTR, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (any “Damage”) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Swap Financial Disclosure or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state in such Swap Financial Disclosure a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however that the foregoing shall not apply to any Damage caused by the negligence or any willful action of MASTR or any other party (other than UBS AG or any of its affiliates or any of their respective agents), including without limitation any failure to calculate the Significance Percentage according to the terms of this Agreement or to make any filing as and when required under Regulation AB.
(vi) In the event that UBS AG provides the information referred to above, such information shall be provided not later than five (5) calendar days prior to the date in which the Trust Administrator is required to file a Form 10-D for such Distribution Date.

contract as mutually agreed to by MASTR and UBS AG.
“Swap Financial Disclosure” means the financial information specified in Item 1115 of Regulation AB relating

Additional Termination Events:
The following Additional Termination Events will apply to UBS AG:
1.
Ratings Event. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) has occurred and UBS AG has not complied with the requirements set forth in the succeeding paragraph within the 30 business day time period specified therein, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to UBS AG and UBS AG shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such an Additional Termination Event.
Rating Agency Downgrade:
If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to UBS AG, then UBS AG shall, at its own expense, (i) assign this Transaction hereunder to a third party within thirty (30) business days of such Ratings Event that meets or exceeds, or as to which any applicable credit support provider meets or exceeds, the Approved Rating Threshold (as defined below) on terms substantially similar to this Confirmation or (ii) deliver collateral acceptable in a form and amount acceptable to Standard and Poor’s Ratings Service, a division of the XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies Inc. (“S&P”) within thirty (30) business days of such Ratings Event and subject to written confirmation from S&P that delivery of such collateral in the context of such downgrade will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the then current ratings assigned to the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, a downgrade of the rating on MASTR Asset Securitization Trust 2006-2, Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-2 (the “Certificates”) could occur in the event that UBS AG does not post sufficient collateral.
For purposes of this Transaction, a “Ratings Event” shall occur with respect to the UBS AG if its long term unsecured debt rating ceases to be rated at least “A+” by S&P (such rating being referred to individually herein as the “Approved Ratings Threshold”), (unless, within 30 business days after such withdrawal or downgrade S&P has reconfirmed the rating of the Notes which was in effect immediately prior to such withdrawal or downgrade).
2.
Swap Disclosure Event. If upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event (as defined in paragraph (xxii) above), UBS AG has not, within 10 business days (after giving effect to any grace period applicable to the relevant filing) after such Swap Disclosure Event, either: (A) complied with any of the provisions set forth in paragraph (xxii) above or (B) accomplished an Elective Termination (as provided below), then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to UBS AG and UBS AG shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.
Elective Termination
At any time that UBS AG has failed to meet its obligations under paragraph (xxii) above, then on or prior to any Early Termination Date relating to any Additional Termination Event, UBS AG may elect to designate a date as an Early Termination Date (an “Elective Termination Date”), and the termination payment for this Transaction shall be calculated and paid under the terms of Section 6 of the ISDA Master Agreement as if a Termination Event had occurred, the Elective Termination Date is the Early Termination Date and UBS AG is the sole Affected Party.
Transfer, Amendment and Assignment:
No transfer, amendment, waiver, supplement, assignment or other modification of this Transaction (other than the pledge of this Transaction to the Trust Administrator pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall be permitted by either party unless S&P has been provided notice of the same and confirms in writing (including by facsimile transmission) that it will not downgrade, qualify, withdraw or otherwise modify its then-current rating of the Notes; provided however that except with respect to a transfer at the direction of UBS, nothing in this provision shall impose any obligation on UBS to give notice to any rating agency.
Permitted Security Interest:

(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event, UBS AG, at its own expense, shall provide to MASTR the applicable Swap Financial Disclosure (as defined below).
(iv) In the alternative to subparagraph (iii) above, upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event or at any time after complying with subparagraph (iii) above, UBS AG, may, at its option and at its own expense, (a) secure another entity to replace UBS AG as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement and subject to prior notification to the Swap Rating Agencies, which entity (or a guarantor therefor) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds (or which satisfies the Rating Agency Condition) and which entity is able to comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB or (b) obtain a guaranty of UBS AG’s obligations under this Agreement from an affiliate of UBS AG that is able to comply with the financial information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB, such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to the Swap Provider, and cause such affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by reference to or incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
(v) UBS AG agrees that, in the event that UBS AG provides Swap Financial Disclosure to MASTR in accordance with paragraph (iii) above, or causes its affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure to MASTR in accordance with paragraph (iv)(b) above, it will indemnify and hold harmless MASTR, its respective directors or officers and any person controlling MASTR, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (any “Damage”) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Swap Financial Disclosure or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state in such Swap Financial Disclosure a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however that the foregoing shall not apply to any Damage caused by the negligence or any willful action of MASTR or any other party (other than UBS AG or any of its affiliates or any of their respective agents), including without limitation any failure to calculate the Significance Percentage according to the terms of this Agreement or to make any filing as and when required under Regulation AB.
(vi) In the event that UBS AG provides the information referred to above, such information shall be provided not later than five (5) calendar days prior to the date in which the Trust Administrator is required to file a Form 10-D for such Distribution Date.

Additional Termination Events:
The following Additional Termination Events will apply to UBS AG:
1.
Ratings Event. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) has occurred and UBS AG has not complied with the requirements set forth in the succeeding paragraph within the 30 business day time period specified therein, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to UBS AG and UBS AG shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such an Additional Termination Event.
Rating Agency Downgrade:
If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to UBS AG, then UBS AG shall, at its own expense, (i) assign this Transaction hereunder to a third party within thirty (30) business days of such Ratings Event that meets or exceeds, or as to which any applicable credit support provider meets or exceeds, the Approved Rating Threshold (as defined below) on terms substantially similar to this Confirmation or (ii) deliver collateral acceptable in a form and amount acceptable to Standard and Poor’s Ratings Service, a division of the XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies Inc. (“S&P”) within thirty (30) business days of such Ratings Event and subject to written confirmation from S&P that delivery of such collateral in the context of such downgrade will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the then current ratings assigned to the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, a downgrade of the rating on MASTR Asset Securitization Trust 2006-2, Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-2 (the “Certificates”) could occur in the event that UBS AG does not post sufficient collateral.
For purposes of this Transaction, a “Ratings Event” shall occur with respect to the UBS AG if its long term unsecured debt rating ceases to be rated at least “A+” by S&P (such rating being referred to individually herein as the “Approved Ratings Threshold”), (unless, within 30 business days after such withdrawal or downgrade S&P has reconfirmed the rating of the Notes which was in effect immediately prior to such withdrawal or downgrade).
2.
Swap Disclosure Event. If upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event (as defined in paragraph
(xxii) above), UBS AG has not, within 10 business days (after giving effect to any grace period applicable to the relevant filing) after such Swap Disclosure Event, either: (A) complied with any of the provisions set forth in paragraph (xxii) above or (B) accomplished an Elective Termination (as provided below), then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to UBS AG and UBS AG shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.
Elective Termination
At any time that UBS AG has failed to meet its obligations under paragraph (xxii) above, then on or prior to any Early Termination Date relating to any Additional Termination Event, UBS AG may elect to designate a date as an Early Termination Date (an “Elective Termination Date”), and the termination payment for this Transaction shall be calculated and paid under the terms of Section 6 of the ISDA Master Agreement as if a Termination Event had occurred, the Elective Termination Date is the Early Termination Date and UBS AG is the sole Affected Party.
Transfer, Amendment and Assignment:
No transfer, amendment, waiver, supplement, assignment or other modification of this Transaction (other than the pledge of this Transaction to the Trust Administrator pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall be permitted by either party unless S&P has been provided notice of the same and confirms in writing (including by facsimile transmission) that it will not downgrade, qualify, withdraw or otherwise modify its then-current rating of the Notes; provided however that except with respect to a transfer at the direction of UBS, nothing in this provision shall impose any obligation on UBS to give notice to any rating agency.
Permitted Security Interest:
For purposes of Section 7 of the Agreement, UBS AG hereby consents to the Permitted Security Interest.
“Permitted Security Interest” means the collateral assignment by the Counterparty of the Cap Collateral to the Trust Administrator pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the granting to the Trust Administrator of a security interest in the Cap Collateral pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
“Cap Collateral” means all right, title and interest of the Counterparty in this Agreement, each Transaction hereunder, and all present and future amounts payable by UBS AG to the Counterparty under or in connection with the Agreement or any Transaction governed by the Agreement, whether or not evidenced by a Confirmation, including, without limitation, any transfer or termination of any such Transaction.
