Advances by the Master Servicer; Distribution Reports to the Trustee (a) To the extent described below, the Master Servicer is obligated to advance its own funds to the Certificate Account to cover any shortfall between (i) payments scheduled to be received in respect of Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the amounts actually deposited in the Certificate Account on account of such payments. The Master Servicer's obligation to make any advance or advances described in this Section 4.02 is effective only to the extent that such advance is, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer made on or before the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, reimbursable from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise. Prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether or not it will make a Monthly P&I Advance on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date (in the event that the applicable Servicer fails to make such advances) and shall furnish a written statement to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, and to any Certificateholder requesting the same, setting forth the aggregate amount to be advanced on account of principal and interest in respect of the Mortgage Loans, stated separately. In the event that the Master Servicer shall be required to make a Monthly P&I Advance, it shall on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Monthly P&I Advance, (ii) make an appropriate entry in the records of the Certificate Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.02, used by the Master Servicer to make such Monthly P&I Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Monthly P&I Advance. Any funds being held for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding any future Distribution Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Under each Selling and Servicing Contract, the Master Servicer is entitled to receive from the Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers amounts received by the applicable Servicers on particular Mortgage Loans as late payments of principal and interest or as Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds and respecting which the Master Servicer has made an unreimbursed advance of principal and interest. The Master Servicer is also entitled to receive other amounts from the related Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers to reimburse itself for prior Nonrecoverable Advances respecting Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicers. The Master Servicer shall deposit these amounts in the Investment Account prior to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05. In accordance with Section 3.05, Monthly P&I Advances are reimbursable to the Master Servicer from cash in the Investment Account or the Certificate Account to the extent that the Master Servicer shall determine that any such advances previously made are Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to Section 4.03.
