Reserve Account Step-up Deposit Sample Clauses

The Reserve Account Step-up Deposit clause requires a party to increase the amount held in a reserve account under certain conditions, typically to provide additional financial security for obligations under an agreement. This step-up may be triggered by events such as a downgrade in credit rating, a change in financial condition, or the passage of time, and the increased deposit is usually calculated based on a predetermined formula or percentage. The core function of this clause is to protect the counterparty by ensuring that sufficient funds are available to cover potential losses or defaults, thereby reducing credit risk.
Reserve Account Step-up Deposit. On or before the first day of any Subordination Step-up Period, the Depositors may elect to increase the Series 20 - Reserve Account Required Percentage for that Subordination Step-up Period instead of increasing the Subordination Factor, by (i) notifying the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of the election and (ii) depositing the amount of the related increase of the Series 20 - Reserve Account Required Amount in the Series 20 - Reserve Account. However, if the Depositors fail to deposit the amount of the increase in the Series 20 - Reserve Account on or before the Payment Date of that Subordination Step-up Period, the Subordination Factor will automatically increase according to the definition of Subordination Factor.
