• Establishment of Accounts (a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account with the Securities Intermediary in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of (i) the Securityholders (the “Collection Account”), (ii) the Noteholders (the “Note Distribution Account”), (iii) the Securityholders (the “Reserve Fund”) and (iv) the Securityholders (the “Yield Supplement Account”), in each case, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the related Securityholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event that the Indenture Trustee is no longer an Eligible Institution, the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Indenture Trustee as necessary, cause the Accounts to be moved to an Eligible Institution. (b) To the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, all amounts held in the Collection Account, the Reserve Fund and the Yield Supplement Account shall be either invested by the Securities Intermediary in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer or maintained in cash. No amounts held in the Note Distribution Account will be invested. Earnings on investment of funds in the Collection Account (net of losses and investment expenses) shall be paid to the Servicer as part of the Supplemental Servicing Fee and any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the related Account. (i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(b), the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Owner Trust Estate. The Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Securityholders, as the case may be. (ii) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Servicer agrees that the Reserve Fund, the Yield Supplement Account and the Collection Account will be established only with an Eligible Institution which agrees substantially as follows: (A) it will comply with Entitlement Orders related to such account issued by the Indenture Trustee without further consent by the Servicer or Issuer; (B) until termination of this Agreement, it will not enter into any other agreement related to such account pursuant to which it agrees to comply with Entitlement Orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee; (C) all Account Property delivered or credited to it in connection with such account and all proceeds thereof will be promptly credited to such account; (D) it will treat all Account Property as Financial Assets; and (E) all Account Property will be physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Eligible Institution maintaining the related Account in accordance with such Eligible Institution’s customary procedures such that such Eligible Institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto over which the Indenture Trustee (or such other Eligible Institution) has Control. (iii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or under the Trust Agreement or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

Such accounts (each, an “Account,” and collectively, the “Accounts”) shall be in the name of the Fund and Series, if any.

The Fund is established initially as a standby to receive payments and shall not consist of any property. Payments made by the Grantor pursuant to the Agency’s instructions are transferred to the Trustee and referred to as the Fund, together with all earnings and profits thereon, less any payments or distributions made by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. The Fund shall be held by the Trustee, IN TRUST for the benefit of the Agency, as hereinafter provided.

All such Eligible Investments shall be held or controlled by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, as applicable (and for the purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC, each Eligible Investment is intended to constitute a Financial Asset, and each of the Trust Accounts is intended to constitute a Securities Account); provided, that on each Transfer Date, all Investment Earnings on funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Total Distribution Amount.

The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account established with an Eligible Institution. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be invested in Eligible Investments subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 hereof.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Servicer and payments made by the Servicer after the Cut-off Date (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date or received by the Servicer prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to the period subsequent thereto or Servicing Transfer Date), as applicable: (i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments; (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate; (iii) all Liquidation Proceeds; (iv) all Insurance Proceeds (other than amounts applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or immediately released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices); (v) all Condemnation Proceeds that are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor; (vi) with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of distribution.

Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04. Additionally, any other benefit derived from the Custodial Account associated with the receipt, disbursement and accumulation of principal, interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance, etc. shall accrue to the Servicer.

To the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

• Establishment of Trust Account The Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Certificate Distribution Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
