To the extent that the Advances or Servicing Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances to be reimbursed on an aggregate basis pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement, the reimbursement paid in this manner will be made pro rata to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, on the one hand, and the Successor Master Servicer, on the other hand, as described in clause (i)(B) above. (f) The Master Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Master Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Residential Funding shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by Residential Funding to the extent the related Reimbursement Amount(s) have not been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee. The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require Residential Funding to provide to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan by loan information with respect to each Reimbursement Amount distributed to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee on each date of remittance thereof to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan.

To the extent that the Advances or Servicing Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances to be reimbursed on an aggregate basis pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement, the reimbursement paid in this manner will be made pro rata to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, on the one hand, and the Successor Master Servicer, on the other hand, as described in clause (i)(B) above.
(f) The Master Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Master Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.
(g) Any amendment to this Section 3.22 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.22, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Master Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, Company and the Master Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, with written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment will not result in the reduction of the ratings on any class of the Certificates below the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such Certificates, and an opinion of counsel as required by Section 11.01(c), ) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of or elsewhere in this Agreement.
(h) Any rights of set-off that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Company, any Successor Master Servicer or any other Person might otherwise have against the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall not attach to any rights to be reimbursed for Advances or Servicing Advances that have been sold, transferred, pledged, conveyed or assigned to any Advancing Person.
(i) At any time when an Advancing Person shall have ceased funding Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) and the Advancing Person or related Advance Facility Trustee shall have received Reimbursement Amounts sufficient in the aggregate to reimburse all Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) the right to reimbursement for which were assigned to the Advancing Person, then upon the delivery of a written notice signed by the Advancing Person and the Master Servicer or its successor or assign) to the Trustee terminating the Advance Facility Notice (the "Notice of Facility Termination"), the Master Servicer or its Successor Master Servicer shall again be entitled to withdraw and retain the related Reimbursement Amounts from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10.
(j) After delivery of any Advance Facility Notice, and until any such Advance Facility Notice has been terminated by a Notice of Facility Termination, this Section 3.22 may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the related Advancing Person.

(ii) By way of illustration, and not by way of limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Master Servicer resigns or is terminated at a time when the Master Servicer is a party to an Advance Facility, and is replaced by a Successor Master Servicer, and the Successor Master Servicer directly funds Advances or Servicing Advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and does not assign or pledge the related Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, then all payments and recoveries received from the related Mortgagor or received in the form of Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan (including Insurance Proceeds collected in connection with a liquidation of such Mortgage Loan) will be allocated first to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee until the related Reimbursement Amounts attributable to such Mortgage Loan that are owed to the Master Servicer and the Advancing Person, which were made prior to any Advances or Servicing Advances made by the Successor Master Servicer, have been reimbursed in full, at which point the Successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain all related Reimbursement Amounts subsequently collected with respect to that Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement. To the extent that the Advances or Servicing Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances to be reimbursed on an aggregate basis pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement, the reimbursement paid in this manner will be made pro rata to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, on the one hand, and the Successor Master Servicer, on the other hand, as described in clause (i)(B) above.
(f) The Master Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Master Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.
(g) Any amendment to this Section 3.22 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.22, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Master Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, Company and the Master Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, with written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment will not result in the reduction of the ratings on any class of the Certificates below the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such Certificates, and an opinion Opinion of counsel Counsel as required by Section 11.01(c), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of or elsewhere in this Agreement.
(h) Any rights of set-off that the Trust FundTrust, the Trustee, the Company, any Successor Master Servicer or any other Person might otherwise have against the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall not attach to any rights to be reimbursed for Advances or Servicing Advances that have been sold, transferred, pledged, conveyed or assigned to any Advancing Person.
(i) At any time when an Advancing Person shall have ceased funding Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) and the Advancing Person or related Advance Facility Trustee shall have received Reimbursement Amounts sufficient in the aggregate to reimburse all Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) the right to reimbursement for which were assigned to the Advancing Person, then upon the delivery of a written notice signed by the Advancing Person and the Master Servicer or its successor or assign) to the Trustee terminating the Advance Facility Notice (the "“Notice of Facility Termination"”), the Master Servicer or its Successor Master Servicer shall again be entitled to withdraw and retain the related Reimbursement Amounts from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10.
