• Collection of Funds Except as permitted under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and will receive and collect, directly the funds and other property payable to or to be received by the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee will apply the funds and other property received by it, and will make deposits to, and distributions from, the Bank Accounts, under this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

• Application of Funds in the Collection Account The Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes: (i) to reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances made by it or by such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04 or the applicable Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause is limited to amounts received on or in respect of particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage) which represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee and the Master Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting which any such Advance was made; provided, further, that following the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may reimburse itself for previously unreimbursed Advances in excess of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loans from any funds in the Collection Account, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders; (ii) to reimburse itself or any Servicer for any Servicing Advances made by it or by such Servicer that it or such Servicer determines in good faith will not be recoverable from amounts representing late recoveries of payments of principal or interest respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Servicing Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders; (iii) to reimburse itself or any Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Sections 9.20 and 9.22(a) or the applicable Servicing Agreement in good faith in connection with the restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee and the Master Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next succeeding the date of its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself out of such excess the amount of any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess remaining thereafter as additional servicing compensation, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders; (iv) to reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable by or reimbursable to it or such Servicer pursuant to Section 9.04, 9.05, 9.06, 9.16 or 9.22(a) or pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, and to reimburse itself for any expenses reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 10.01(c); (v) to pay to the applicable Person, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased by such Person pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not distributed on the date on which the related repurchase was effected; (vi) subject to Section 5.05, to pay to itself income earned on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account; (vii) to make payments to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01(c); (viii) to make distributions of any Retained Interest to the Retained Interest Holder on each Distribution Date (other than any Retained Interest not deposited into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.01(d)(iii)); (ix) to make payment to itself, the Trustee and others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement; (x) to withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account; (xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.02; (xii) to reimburse a successor Master Servicer (solely in its capacity as successor Master Servicer), for any fee or advance occasioned by a termination of the Master Servicer, and the assumption of such duties by the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14, in each case to the extent not reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that the right of the Master Servicer or the Trustee thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders; and (xiii) to reimburse any Servicer for such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to such Servicer to the extent provided in such Servicing Agreement. If provided in the related Servicing Agreement, each Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any Prepayment Interest Excess (to the extent not offset by Prepayment Interest Shortfalls). In the event that the Master Servicer fails on any Deposit Date to remit to the Trustee any amounts required to be so remitted to the Trustee pursuant to subclause (vii) by 12 noon (New York time) on such date, the Master Servicer shall pay the Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest calculated at the “prime rate” (as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal) on such amounts not timely remitted for the period from and including that Deposit Date to but not including the related Distribution Date. In connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) above, the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, except as provided herein. The Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan it master services for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) above.

• Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account (a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account and any REO Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), and the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, the Distribution Account is also an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any REO Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:

• Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Trustee (a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the Master Servicer's right to retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer Collection Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall cause each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information. (b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.

• Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Documents Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

• Application of Trust Funds Certain Duties Section 5.01. [Reserved].

• Application of Trust Funds (a) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate Paying Agent to distribute amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date in the following order of priority: (i) to make payments to the Certificateholder any remaining amount deposited therein; and (ii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Distribution Account upon the termination of this Agreement. (b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to the Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee or Certificate Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to the Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to the Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph. (c) Any Holder of the Certificate that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date such Holder becomes a Holder, (i) shall notify the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent and (ii)(A) provide the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent with Internal Revenue Service form X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX or W-8EXP (or successor forms), as appropriate, or (B) notify the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent that it is not entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or a reduction in the rate thereof on payments of interest. Any such Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Certificate, on an ongoing basis, to provide like certification for each taxable year and to notify the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent should subsequent circumstances arise affecting the information provided the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon, and each Holder by its acceptance of the Certificate hereunder agrees to indemnify and hold the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent harmless against all claims or liability of any kind arising in connection with or related to the Owner Trustee’s and the Certificate Paying Agent’s reliance upon any documents, forms or information provided by any Holder to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent.

• Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

• Application of Amounts in Trust Accounts (a) For so long as any Notes are outstanding, on each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee will distribute to the Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, based on the Percentage Interests thereof, the amounts distributable thereto pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 3.01 of the Indenture. From and after the date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificateholders (i) amounts released to the Trust pursuant to Sections 4.02 and 8.05(b) of the Indenture and Section 5.01(d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (ii) amounts that are distributable to the Certificateholders in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. (b) On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall send to the Certificateholders the statement provided to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Payment Date. (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s distributions (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee and Paying Agent (and the Indenture Trustee, to the extent the Indenture Trustee is then making distributions to Certificateholders) are hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to any distribution (such as any distribution to a Non-U.S. Person), in order to comply with applicable law, the Owner Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without liability, withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c). In the event that a Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith.

• Documents Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to be Held for the Trustee Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Master Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
