The Interest Reserve Account shall be established and maintained as a non-interest bearing Eligible Account. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in January (except during a leap year) or February (commencing in 2018) (unless, in either such case, the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, in respect of all the Mortgage Loans that accrue interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the related month, an amount equal to one day’s interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Distribution Date in the month preceding the month in which such Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs, to the extent a Monthly Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March (or February if the final Distribution Date occurs in such month) of each calendar year (commencing in 2018), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account the aggregate of all Withheld Amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account.
