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.

Distributions to Certificateholders (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate account as set forth in Article I (the "Certificate Account"), the purpose of which is to accept deposits from the Servicer and to make distributions to the Certificateholders of the amounts set forth in this Section 4.1. (b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, if any, shall (i) withdraw from the Certificate Account the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and shall distribute to each Certificateholder, from the amount so withdrawn and to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount, such Certificateholder's share (based on the aggregate Percentage Interests represented by the Certificates of the applicable Class held by such Certificateholder) of the amounts and in the order of priority as set forth in the definition of "Certificate Distribution Amount", and (ii) distribute Excess Liquidation Proceeds to the Class R Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds for the account of the Certificateholder, or by any other means of payment acceptable to each Certificateholder of record on the immediately preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.1 respecting the final distribution), as specified by each such Certificateholder and at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register; provided, that if the Trustee has appointed a Certificate Administrator, such distributions in (i) and (ii) above shall be made in accordance with written statements received from the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.3. (c) All reductions in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate effected by distributions of principal or allocations of Realized Losses with respect to Loans made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all Holders of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such distribution is noted on such Certificate. The final distribution of principal of each Certificate (and the final distribution with respect to the Class R Certificate upon termination of the Trust Fund) shall be payable in the manner provided above only upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the Distribution Date therefor at the office or agency of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, if any, specified in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(d) or Section 9.1. (d) Whenever, on the basis of Curtailments, Payoffs and Monthly Payments on the Loans and Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received and expected to be received during the applicable Prepayment Period, the Trustee believes, or the Certificate Administrator, if any, has notified the Trustee that it believes, that the entire remaining unpaid Class Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates will become distributable on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, if any, shall, no later than the Determination Date of the month of such Distribution Date, mail or cause to be mailed to each Person in whose name a Certificate to be so retired is registered at the close of business on the Record Date, to the Underwriters and to each Rating Agency a notice to the effect that: (i) it is expected that funds sufficient to make such final distribution will be available in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date, and (ii) if such funds are available, (A) such final distribution will be payable on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose (the address of which shall be set forth in such notice), and (B) no interest shall accrue on such Certificate after such Distribution Date.
Final Distribution on the Certificates If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.1, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and no later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Master Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in the Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the applicable subaccounts of the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in the order set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in the case of the Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest bearing Certificate, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above. In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Holders of each of the Class I-A-R Certificates shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund, held for distribution to such Certificateholders, which remain subject hereto.
Determination of Pass-Through Rates for COFI Certificates The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the applicable formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. Except as provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual Period following the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not later than two Business Days prior to such Interest Accrual Period but following the publication of the applicable Index determine the Pass-Through Rate at which interest shall accrue in respect of the COFI Certificates during the related Interest Accrual Period. Except as provided below, the Index to be used in determining the respective Pass-Through Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular Interest Accrual Period shall be COFI for the second calendar month preceding the Outside Reference Date for such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside Reference Date for any Interest Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date has not been published, the Trustee shall use COFI for the third calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date. If COFI for neither the second nor third calendar months preceding any Outside Reference Date has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, the Index for such Interest Accrual Period and for all subsequent Interest Accrual Periods shall be the National Cost of Funds Index for the third calendar month preceding such Interest Accrual Period (or the fourth preceding calendar month if such National Cost of Funds Index for the third preceding calendar month has not been published by such Outside Reference Date). In the event that the National Cost of Funds Index for neither the third nor fourth calendar months preceding an Interest Accrual Period has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, then for such Interest Accrual Period and for each succeeding Interest Accrual Period, the Index shall be LIBOR, determined in the manner set forth below. With respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable Index is LIBOR, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on the related Interest Determination Date as provided in Section 4.08. In determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Reuters Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 4.07. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
