Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account; Distribution Account (a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Certificate Account. The Certificate Account shall consist of two separate subaccounts, each of which shall relate to a particular Mortgage Pool. No later than two Business Days after receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Master Servicer shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited into the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool, including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool, net of the related Master Servicing Fee, any Prepayment Interest Excess and, for so long as First Horizon is the Master Servicer, any Retained Yield;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds in respect of the related Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures;
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.5(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.9(b), 3.9(d), and in respect of net monthly rental income from any related REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;
(vi) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts in respect of the related Mortgage Pool;
(vii) all Advances in respect of the related Mortgage Pool made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.1; and
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder in respect of the related Mortgage Pool. In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause funds to be deposited into the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account in an amount required to cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date at the related Adjusted Mortgage Rate on such date. The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment charges, assumption fees or amounts attributable to reimbursements of Advances, if collected, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Certificate Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Distribution Account shall consist of two separate subaccounts, each of which shall relate to a particular Mortgage Pool. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in respect of a Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(ix);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.5(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the applicable subaccount of the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the related Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.
(iv) The institutions at which the Certificate Account and the Distribution Account are maintained shall invest funds as directed by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments which in both cases shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Certificate Account, the second Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and all income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee. The amount of any Realized Losses in the Certificate Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account and the amount of any Realized Losses in the Distribution Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Trustee into the Distribution Account. All reinvestment income earned on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the Certificate Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.5.
(v) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account prior to any change thereof.
Certificate Account and Special Payments Account (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Certificateholders a Certificate Account as one or more non-interest-bearing accounts. The Trustee shall hold the Certificate Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and shall make or permit withdrawals therefrom only as provided in this Agreement. On each day when a Scheduled Payment is made to the Trustee under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee upon receipt thereof shall immediately deposit the aggregate amount of such Scheduled Payment in the Certificate Account.
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Certificateholders a Special Payments Account as one or more accounts, which shall be non-interest bearing except as provided in Section 4.
Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Deposits to Custodial Account (a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it would employ in its good faith business judgment and which are normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the Due Date for payments due on a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Program Guide; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall first determine that any such waiver or extension will not impair the coverage of any related Primary Insurance Policy or materially adversely affect the lien of the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not enforce any prepayment charge to the extent that such enforcement would violate any applicable law. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make timely advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements unless otherwise agreed to by the Holders of the Classes of Certificates affected thereby; provided, however, that no such extension shall be made if any such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Master Servicer's determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action); provided, however, that the Master Servicer may not modify materially or permit any Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan, including without limitation any modification that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or except in connection with prepayments to the extent that such reamortization is not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loan), capitalize any amounts owing on the Mortgage Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable; provided, further, that (1) no such modification shall reduce the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below one-half of the Mortgage Rate as in effect on the Cut-off Date, but not less than the sum of the rates at which the Servicing Fee and the Subservicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan accrues plus the rate at which the premium paid to the Certificate Insurer, if any, accrues, (2) the final maturity date for any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended beyond the Maturity Date, (3) the Stated Principal Balance of all Reportable Modified Mortgage Loans subject to Servicing Modifications (measured at the time of the Servicing Modification and after giving effect to any Servicing Modification) can be no more than five percent of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, unless such limit is increased from time to time with the consent of the Rating Agencies and the Certificate Insurer, if any. In addition, any amounts owing on a Mortgage Loan added to the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan must be fully amortized over the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, and such amounts may be added to the outstanding principal balance of a Mortgage Loan only once during the life of such Mortgage Loan. Also, the addition of such amounts described in the preceding sentence shall be implemented in accordance with the Program Guide and may be implemented only by Subservicers that have been approved by the Master Servicer for such purpose. In connection with any Curtailment of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Note and local law and practice, may permit the Mortgage Loan to be reamortized such that the Monthly Payment is recalculated as an amount that will fully amortize the remaining Stated Principal Balance thereof by the original Maturity Date based on the original Mortgage Rate; provided, that such re-amortization shall not be permitted if it would constitute a reissuance of the Mortgage Loan for federal income tax purposes, except if such reissuance is described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b)(3).
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) All payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments made by Mortgagors on the Mortgage Loans and the principal component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loans, including Buydown Funds, if any, and the interest component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(iii) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (net of any related expenses of the Subservicer);
(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 4.07 (including amounts received from Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation and all amounts required to be deposited in connection with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c) or 3.21;
(vi) All amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the Custodial Account in accordance with Section 4.02(a);
(vii) Any amounts realized by the Subservicer and received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Additional Collateral; and
(viii) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in respect of Pledged Assets. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not part of the Trust Fund (consisting of payments in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) and payments or collections in the nature of prepayment charges or late payment charges or assumption fees may but need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account. In the event any amount not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account is so deposited, the Master Servicer may at any time withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Custodial Account may contain funds that belong to one or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series and may contain other funds respecting payments on mortgage loans belonging to the Master Servicer or serviced or master serviced by it on behalf of others. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Master Servicer shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Custodial Account that have been identified by it as being attributable to the Mortgage Loans. With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and the proceeds of the purchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the Master Servicer may elect to treat such amounts as included in the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date in the month of receipt, but is not obligated to do so. If the Master Servicer so elects, such amounts will be deemed to have been received (and any related Realized Loss shall be deemed to have occurred) on the last day of the month prior to the receipt thereof.
(c) The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause the institution maintaining the Custodial Account to invest the funds in the Custodial Account attributable to the Mortgage Loans in Permitted Investments which shall mature not later than the Certificate Account Deposit Date next following the date of such investment (with the exception of the Amount Held for Future Distribution) and which shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturities. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments attributable to the investment of amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized without any right of reimbursement.
(d) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company of any change in the location of the Custodial Account and the location of the Certificate Account prior to the use thereof.
Distributions from the Certificate Account (a) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall withdraw from the Certificate Account the Total Distribution Amount for such date, shall allocate such amount to the interests issued in respect of the Trust Fund and shall distribute such amount as specified in this Section.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Interest Remittance Amount for such date in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Senior Certificates, pro rata, Accrued Certificate Interest for such Class and such Distribution Date, plus any unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest remaining unpaid from any prior Distribution Date;
(ii) to the Class M-1 Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest for such Class and such Distribution Date, plus any unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest remaining unpaid from any prior Distribution Date;
(iii) to the Class M-2 Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest for such Class and such Distribution Date, plus any unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest remaining unpaid from any prior Distribution Date;
(iv) to the Class M-3 Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest for such Class and such Distribution Date, plus any unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest remaining unpaid from any prior Distribution Date;
(v) to the Class B-1 Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest for such Class and such Distribution Date, plus any unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest remaining unpaid from any prior Distribution Date;
(vi) to the Class B-2 Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest for such Class and such Distribution Date, plus any unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest remaining unpaid from any prior Distribution Date;
(vii) to the Class B-3 Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest for such Class and such Distribution Date, plus any unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest remaining unpaid from any prior Distribution Date; and
(viii) any remaining Interest Remittance Amount to the Class R Certificates.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Principal Remittance Amount for such date as follows:
(i) to the holders of the Class R Certificates and Class A Certificates, in that order, to the extent of the Principal Remittance Amount, the Senior Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero;
(ii) to the holders of the Class M-1 Certificates, to the extent of the portion of the Principal Remittance Amount remaining after the distribution in clause (i) above, the Class M-1 Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
(iii) to the holders of the Class M-2 Certificates, to the extent of the portion of the Principal Remittance Amount remaining after distributions in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Class M-2 Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
(iv) to the holders of the Class M-3 Certificates, to the extent of the portion of the Principal Remittance Amount remaining after distributions in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Class M-3 Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
(v) to the holders of the Class B-1 Certificates, to the extent of the portion of the Principal Remittance Amount remaining after the distributions in clauses (i) through (iv) above, the Class B-1 Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
(vi) to the holders of the Class B-2 Certificates, to the extent of the portion of the Principal Remittance Amount remaining after the distributions in clauses (i) through (v) above, the Class B-2 Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and
(vii) to the holders of the Class B-2, Class B-1, Class M-3, Class M-2, Class M-1, Class A and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, the Principal Remittance Amount remaining after the distributions in clauses (i) through (vi) above, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero; and
(viii) to the holders of the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates having a higher priority of distribution has been reduced to zero, any remaining Principal Remittance Amount will be distributed to the remaining Certificates in the order of priority set forth above until the Class Principal Amount of each such Class has been reduced to zero.
(d) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount of any Deferred Interest in respect of each Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately preceding calendar month and provide such information to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.20. With respect to any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of Deferred Interest, if any, that is added to the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans on the Due Date occurring in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs will be added to the Current Principal Amounts of the Certificates on a pro rata basis based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the Current Principal Amount of each such Class and the denominator of which is the aggregate Current Principal Amount of such Classes of Certificates, in each case immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Deferred Interest allocated to any Certificate on any Distribution Date will be added to the Current Principal Amount thereof on such Distribution Date and will thereafter bear interest at the then applicable Pass-Through Rate.
Withdrawals from the Collection Account and Distribution Account (a) The Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.04:
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Master Servicer for (a) any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04; (b) any unreimbursed Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such unreimbursed Advances; or (c) subject to Section 4.04(b), any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date;
(iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and condemnation proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and (c) any Servicing Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for Servicing Advances;
(iv) to pay to the Master Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to pay to the Originator, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;

(ix) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Originator) or the Trustee, as the case may be, for enforcement expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation;
Certificate Distribution Account The Certificate Distribution Account shall be established as a non-interest bearing trust account pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account shall be held uninvested. The Certificateholders shall possess all beneficial right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Indenture or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Certificate Paying Agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, shall, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period) after becoming aware of the fact, establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Account and shall direct the Certificate Paying Agent to transfer any cash then on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account.
Collection Account and Distribution Account (a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (each such account or accounts, a “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the related clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of good funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the related Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the related Cut-off Date, or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the related Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto):
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the Servicing Fee and excluding any Prepayment Interest Excess) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01);
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

(vii) all Substitution Shortfall Amounts; and
(viii) all Prepayment Premiums collected by the Servicer. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of substitution. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, non sufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Premiums) need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or by 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in clause (2) of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Premiums on the Mortgage Loans collected by the Servicer in connection with the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full or in part of any of the Mortgage Loans and any Servicer Prepayment Premium Payment Amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (other than any such Prepayment Premiums received after the related Prepayment Period). If the Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment, including any P&I Advance to be made by the Servicer on the Servicer Remittance Date (without regard to any grace period), the Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest on such late remittance from and including the Servicer Remittance Date to but excluding the date on which such remittance is made, at an annual rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus one percentage point (but in no event greater than the maximum permitted by law).
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds held in a Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of such Collection Account until the Servicer Remittance Date when such amounts are required to be deposited into the Distribution Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event that the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit and in any event shall remit all such amounts no later than the Servicer Remittance Date, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01; and
(iv) any related amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with any Compensating Interest.
Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account Statements Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward, upon request, to the Trustee and the Depositor the most current available bank statement for the Collection Account. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
Distributions to Certificateholders; Payment of Special Primary Insurance Premiums (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly appointed paying agent) shall (i) subject to Section 3.05(a)(viii), withdraw from the Certificate Account any Special Primary Insurance Premium payable on such Distribution Date and pay such amount to the insurer under the applicable Special Primary Insurance Policy and (ii) withdraw from the Certificate Account the REMIC II Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and distribute, from the amount so withdrawn, to the extent of the REMIC II Available Distribution Amount, the REMIC II Distribution Amount to the Certificateholders (including the Class R Certificateholders with respect to any distribution to the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual Interest), all in accordance with the written statement received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(b).
