Section 2.1 Payment of Principal.

The Issuer will issue the Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes in the forms set forth as Exhibits A and B to this Supplement. The Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes will be issued in an aggregate Series 2006-A Principal Amount of $40,000,000. Unless a Security Agreement Event of Default or an Indenture Event of Default that results in the cessation of the issuance of the Secured Liquidity Notes or Term Notes occurs or an Optional Repurchase occurs, no Series 2006-A Principal Amount will be payable on the Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes until the Series 2006-A Final Scheduled Payment Date; provided, however, that, for purposes of an Indenture Event of Default, until the Senior Notes are paid in full, no Series 2006-A Principal Amount will be due or become due.

Section 2.2 Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest will accrue during each Series 2006-A Interest Period on the Series 2006-A Principal Amount plus the Series 2006-A Interest Shortfall, each as of the preceding Payment Date, at a per annum rate equal to the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate, commencing on the Series 2006-A Closing Date; provided, however, that, for purposes of an Indenture Event of Default, until the Senior Notes are paid in full, no interest will be due or become due.

(b) The Paying Agent will distribute from funds available therefor in the Series 2006-A Payment Account pro rata to Series 2006-A Subordinated Noteholders the Series 2006-A Interest Amount. The Series 2006-A Interest Amount will be payable on each Payment Date to the holders of the Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Note Record Date, commencing September 25, 2006 and ending on the Series 2006-A Final Scheduled Payment Date. In the event that the Paying Agent or its designated agent receives funds in an amount less than the Series 2006-A Interest Amount, additional interest on the Series 2006-A Interest Shortfall shall accrue at the applicable Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate. The Series 2006-A Interest Shortfall and additional interest on

 

4


the Series 2006-A Interest Shortfall shall be paid to Series 2006-A Subordinated Noteholders in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(c) In the event that the Series 2006-A Principal Amount is reduced by any Principal Amount Charge Off, additional interest on the aggregate Principal Amount Charge-Offs allocated to the Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes and the Series 2006-A Carry-Over Interest Deficiency, each as of the preceding Payment Date, shall accrue at the applicable Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate. The related Series 2006-A Carry Over Interest Shortfall Amount and the Series 2006-A Carry Over Interest Deficiency shall be paid to the Series 2006-A Subordinated Noteholders in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 2.3 Calculation of Interest.

(a) For purposes of calculating the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is hereby appointed as, and hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties of, the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent. The Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent may be removed by the Series 2006-A Required Subordinated Noteholders at any time. If the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Series 2006-A Required Subordinated Noteholders, or if the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent fails to determine the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate, the Series 2006-A Interest Amount, the Series 2006-A Interest Shortfall, the Series 2006-A Carry Over Interest Shortfall Amount and the Series 2006-A Interest Deficiency Amount for any Series 2006-A Interest Period, the Series 2006-A Required Subordinated Noteholders will promptly appoint as a replacement Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent a leading bank which is engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market. The Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed.

(b) LIBOR shall be determined by the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) On the second Business Day prior to the commencement of a Series 2006-A Interest Period (each such day, a “LIBOR Determination Date”), “LIBOR” shall equal the rate, as obtained by the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent, for one-month Eurodollar deposits which appears on Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions) or such other page as may replace Telerate Page 3750, as it relates to U.S. dollars, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date.

(ii) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks to leading banks in the London interbank market for one-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately

 

5


11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made by the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two (2) of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only one (1) or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in The City of New York selected by the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for one-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent by reference to the principal London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market; provided, however, that if the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures provided above, “LIBOR” shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date. As used herein, “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent.

As soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent will cause the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate, the Series 2006-A Interest Amount, the Series 2006-A Interest Shortfall, the Series 2006-A Carry Over Interest Shortfall Amount and the Series 2006-A Carry Over Interest Deficiency for the next Series 2006-A Interest Period payable in respect of the Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes on the related Payment Date to be given to the Issuer and the Paying Agent. The Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent will also specify to the Issuer the quotations upon which the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate is based, and in any event the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate and the Series 2006-A Interest Amount or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate and the Series 2006-A Interest Amount, together with its reasons therefor. For the sole purpose of calculating the Series 2006-A Subordinated Note Rate, “Business Day” shall be any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

Section 2.4 Optional Repurchase.

In connection with the termination of the Issuer’s Secured Liquidity Notes program (other than a termination through the replacement of such program with a facility having substantially similar terms; any such replacement facility may be deemed to have substantially similar terms even though interest rate spreads may differ), and repayment of all of the Senior Notes and upon satisfaction of the requirements included in the Program Documents (including the payment of any amounts due and owing to the Senior Secured Parties), the Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes, together with all other outstanding Series of Subordinated Notes, may be repurchased (an “Optional Repurchase”), in whole but not in part, by the Issuer on any

 

6


Payment Date upon not more than sixty (60) nor less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Subordinated Noteholders at a price equal to the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount thereof together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, any Interest Shortfall and interest thereon to the date of repurchase and the aggregate amount of all Principal Amount Charge-Offs that have not been reinstated (unless each holder of the Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes waives the payment of such Principal Amount Charge-Offs); provided, that the Issuer shall effect an Optional Repurchase at the written request of any Swap Counterparty given no earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day following the date that the last Mortgage Loan has been sold and all the Senior Notes have been satisfied following a Termination Event at a purchase price equal to the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes of all Series on such Payment Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid aggregate Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes of all Series and any Interest Shortfalls and interest thereon to the date of repurchase.

Section 2.5 Final Scheduled Payment; Early Amortization.

(a) The Series 2006-A Principal Amount, plus the aggregate amount of any Principal Amount Charge-Offs allocated to the Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes which have not been reinstated, will be payable in full on the Series 2006-A Final Scheduled Payment Date, as the case may be.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Security Agreement Event of Default or an Indenture Event of Default that results in the cessation of the issuance of the Secured Liquidity Notes or an Optional Repurchase, the Issuer will be prohibited from purchasing additional Mortgage Loans and, in such case, the principal collections on Mortgage Loans, the proceeds of sales of Mortgage Loans and the amounts received from the Swap Counterparty will be available to be applied to the repayment of all Series of Subordinated Notes, subject to the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 7.02(b) of the Security Agreement.

(c) In connection with any such Security Agreement Event of Default or Indenture Event of Default , upon a sale or disposition of a Defaulted Loan, a Delinquent Loan or a portfolio of Defaulted Loans and/or Delinquent Loans (each, a “Portfolio”), the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain three (3) or more bids for each such Defaulted Loan, Delinquent Loan or Portfolio; provided, however, that such bids shall be received within ten (10) Business Days of one another. The Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the holder of the largest Principal Amount of all Series of Subordinated Notes or, if no single holder holds the largest Principal Amount of all Series of Subordinated Notes, such person as the Required Subordinated Noteholders shall designate (the “Subordinated Note Representative”), of the highest bid price obtained. The Subordinated Note Representative shall have the option to purchase such Defaulted Loans, Delinquent Loans or Portfolio within certain time periods at a price at least equal to 102% of such highest bid price but in no event more than the amount of the Outstanding Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (plus accrued interest thereon) after giving effect to amounts payable by the Swap Counterparty with respect to the sale of such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans. The Subordinated Note Representative will have certain time periods specified in the Security Agreement within which to elect to purchase, and to pay for, such Defaulted Loans, Delinquent Loans or Portfolio. In the event that the Subordinated Note Representative fails to elect to purchase or pay for such

 

7


Defaulted Loans, Delinquent Loans or Portfolio within the applicable time period, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to sell such Defaulted Loans, Delinquent Loans or Portfolio to the highest bidder.

Section 2.6 Series 2006-A Payment Account.

(a) Establishment of Series 2006-A Payment Account. The Issuer shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2006-A Subordinated Noteholders, or cause to be established and maintained, a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Series 2006-A Payment Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2006-A Subordinated Noteholders. The Series 2006-A Payment Account will not be subjected to the lien of the Security Agreement. The Series 2006-A Payment Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as Indenture Trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2006-A Payment Account; provided that, if at any time such Qualified Institution is no longer a Qualified Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such depositary institution or trust company shall be reduced to below “BBB-“ by S&P or “Baa3” by Moody’s, then the Issuer shall, within 30 days of such reduction, establish a new Series 2006-A Payment Account with a new Qualified Institution. If the Series 2006-A Payment Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, the Issuer shall establish a new Payment Account, within ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such fact, which complies with such sentence, and shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing to transfer all cash and Eligible Investments from the non-qualifying Series 2006-A Payment Account into the new Series 2006-A Payment Account. Initially, the Series 2006-A Payment Account will be established with the Indenture Trustee.

(b) Administration of the Series 2006-A Payment Account. The Indenture Trustee, at the written instruction of the Servicer, may instruct the institution maintaining the Series 2006-A Payment Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 2006-A Payment Account from time to time in Eligible Investments; provided, however, that any such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Payment Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless any Eligible Investment held in the Series 2006-A Payment Account is held with the Indenture Trustee, then such investment may mature on such Payment Date and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Payment Date. All such Eligible Investments will be credited to the Series 2006-A Payment Account.

(c) Earnings from Series 2006-A Payment Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2006-A Payment Account shall be deemed to be on deposit and available for distribution.

(d) Series 2006-A Payment Account Constitutes Additional Collateral for Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes. In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Series 2006-A Subordinated Notes, the Issuer hereby grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Series 2006-A Subordinated Noteholders, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or hereafter existing or

acquired): (i) the Series 2006-A Payment Account, including any security entitlement thereto; (ii) all funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iii) all certificates and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing any or all of the Series 2006-A Payment Account or the funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iv) all Eligible Investments made at any time and from time to time with monies in the Series 2006-A Payment Account, whether constituting securities, instruments, general intangibles, investment property, financial assets or other property; (v) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Series 2006-A Payment Account, the funds on deposit therein from time to time or the Eligible Investments made with such funds; and (vi) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash (the items in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are referred to, collectively, as the “Series 2006-A Payment Account Collateral”). The Paying Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2006-A Payment Account and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Series 2006-A Payment Account. The Series 2006-A Payment Account Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Series 2006-A Subordinated Noteholders.
