Applicable Margin On the Third Amendment Effective Date and thereafter, the Applicable Margin with respect to the Term Loan D Loans shall be for Base Rate Advances, 1.50%, and for LIBOR Advances, 2.50%. The Applicable Margin with respect to the Term Loan D Loans shall be subject to reduction or increase, as applicable, and as set forth in the tables below, based upon the Borrower Leverage Ratio and the Senior Leverage Ratio set forth on a pro forma basis in any Request for Advance and as reflected in the financial statements required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter most recently ended pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 hereof; provided that the Applicable Margins set forth in the tables below shall be increased by 25 bps at any time when the Senior Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.5 to 1.0. The adjustment provided for in this Section 2.3(f)(ii) shall be effective (A) with respect to an increase of the Applicable Margin, as of the second (2nd) Business Day after the earliest of (1) with respect to Base Rate Advances, the day on which any Request for Advance is delivered, (2) with respect to LIBOR Advances, the day on which the requested Advance is made or (3) the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, as the case may be, and (B) with respect to a decrease in the Applicable Margin, as of the second (2nd) Business Day after the earliest of (1) with respect to Base Rate Advances, the day on which any Request for Advance is delivered, (2) with respect to LIBOR Advances, the day on which the requested Advance is made or (3) except with respect to Interest Periods ending (or other payments of interest occurring) before the date that such financial statements are actually delivered to the Administrative Agent, the day on which such financial statements are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to deliver financial statements within forty-five (45) days after the end of any of the first three fiscal quarters of the Borrower’s fiscal year (or within ninety (90) days after the end of the last fiscal quarter of the Borrower’s fiscal year), as required by Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof, it shall be conclusively presumed that the Applicable Margin is based upon a Borrower Leverage Ratio equal to the highest level set forth in the table below and a Senior Leverage Ratio greater than 2.5 to 1.0 for the period from and including the forty-sixth (46th) day (or ninety-first (91st) day, in the case of the last quarter) after the end of such fiscal quarter, as the case may be, to the Business Day following the delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of such financial statements: Greater than 4.00 to 1.00 1.50% 2.50% Less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 1.25% 2.25%
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.
Original Class B Principal Balance The Original Class B Principal Balance is $7,500,485.88.
Interest and Applicable Margins (a) Borrower shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders with respect to the various Loans made by each Lender, in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Loans which are designated as Index Rate Loans (and for all other Obligations not otherwise set forth below), the Index Rate plus the Applicable Revolver Index Margin per annum or, with respect to Revolving Loans which are designated as LIBOR Loans, at the election of Borrower, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin per annum; and (ii) with respect to such portion of the Term Loans designated as an Index Rate Loan, the Index Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan Index Margin per annum or, with respect to such portion of the Term Loans designated as a LIBOR Loan, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin per annum. The Applicable Margins shall be as follows: Applicable Revolver Index Margin 2.75 % Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 3.75 % Applicable Term Loan Index Margin 2.75 % Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin 3.75 % 1 Borrower to supply account information. provided; however, the Applicable Margins, with respect to the Term Loan, shall be adjusted (up or down) prospectively on a quarterly basis as determined by Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ consolidated financial performance. Adjustments in Applicable Margins will be determined by reference to the following grids: Level I ³ 4.00 to 1.00 3.25 % 4.25 % Level II ³ 2.50 to 1.00, and < 4.00 to 1.00 2.75 % 3.75 % Level III < 2.50 to 1.00 2.25 % 3.25 % All adjustments in the Applicable Margins shall be implemented quarterly on a prospective basis, five (5) Business Days after the date of delivery to Lenders of the quarterly unaudited Financial Statements evidencing the need for an adjustment. Concurrently with the delivery of those Financial Statements, Borrower shall deliver to Agent and Lenders a certificate, signed by its chief financial officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the continuance of, or any change in, the Applicable Margins. If any Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in the Applicable Margins is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred until the first day of the first calendar month following the date on which all Defaults or Events of Default are waived or cured.
(b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such Fees and interest are payable. The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be presumptive evidence of the correctness of such rates and Fees.
(d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g) and without notice of any kind, or so long as any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the election of Agent (or upon the written request of Requisite Lenders) confirmed by written notice from Agent to Borrower, the interest rates applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such Fee otherwise applicable hereunder (“Default Rate”), and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand, but in any event, shall be payable on the next regularly scheduled payment date set forth herein for such Obligation.
(e) After the earlier of sixty days following the Closing Date and the completion of the primary syndication of the credit facility, Borrower shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Advance be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of the LIBOR Breakage Costs in accordance with Section 2.3(d) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such amount. Any such election must be made by noon (Chicago time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Revolving Credit Advance which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrower wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by noon (Chicago time) on the 3rd Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto, that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. Borrower must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, by fax or overnight courier (or by telephone, to be promptly confirmed in writing). In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 2.2(e). No Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Loan, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent or Requisite Lenders have determined not to make or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan as a result thereof.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.2, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 2.2(a) through (e), unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.2(f), a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine by a final, non-appealable order that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess as specified in Section 2.5(e) and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as such court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-EQ2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-EQ2.” All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 4.01(d). On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Floating Rate Certificates (after taking into account the remaining Initial Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account Deposit), the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class C Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(c)(v), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. In addition, any payments received by the Trust Administrator under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement on each Distribution Date will be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account. On each such Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(d). On each Distribution Date, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (representing payments received by the Trust Administrator under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement) after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Floating Rate Certificates for such Distribution Date, shall be payable to the Trust Administrator as additional compensation. For so long as any Floating Rate Certificates are beneficially owned by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, the Depositor shall refund or cause such Affiliate to refund any amounts paid to it under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement to the Trust Administrator who shall, pursuant to the terms of the Basis Risk Cap Agreement, return such amount to the counterparty thereunder. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account be disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of 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 an equity interest in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account be treated as a partnership provided, that the Trust Administrator shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax returns in respect of such partnership unless it receives additional reasonable compensation (not to exceed $10,000 per year) for the preparation of such filings, written notification recognizing the creation of a partnership agreement or comparable documentation evidencing the partnership, if any. All amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (other than amounts received under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 4 to the Holder of the Class C Interest and by REMIC 4 to the Holder of the Class C Certificates. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Floating Rate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust and distributed to the Holders of the Class C Certificates or their designee. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Floating Rate 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). By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator hereby is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance. Amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain uninvested. For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts may have more than a de minimis value.
