“(2A) A designated mortgage credit institution shall, as soon as practicable after becoming aware that a cover asset comprised in its cover assets pool would, if the institution were to include that asset at that time in its pool, contravene section 35(8)(a) or 41A(1)(c)(iii), remove that cover asset from its cover assets pool and, where required by this Act, replace it in accordance with section 35.
