Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments (or other investments permitted by the Rating Agencies) that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Transfer Date preceding the following Payment Date; provided, however, that funds on deposit in Trust Accounts may be invested in Eligible Investments of the entity serving as Indenture Trustee payable on demand or that mature so that such funds will be available on the Payment Date.

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.

(iii) to pay to itself or the related Subservicer (if not previously retained by such Subservicer) out of each payment received by the Master Servicer on account of interest on a Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Sections 3.14 and 3.16, an amount equal to that remaining portion of any such payment as to interest (but not in excess of the Servicing Fee and the Subservicing Fee, if not previously retained) which, when deducted, will result in the remaining amount of such interest being interest at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) on the amount specified in the amortization schedule of the related Mortgage Loan as the principal balance thereof at the beginning of the period respecting which such interest was paid after giving effect to any previous Curtailments;
(iv) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any interest or investment income earned on funds and other property deposited in or credited to the Custodial Account that it is entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 3.07(c);

(vii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) below, and any Advance or Servicing Advance made in connection with a modified Mortgage Loan that is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, default is reasonably foreseeable pursuant to Section 3.07(a), to the extent the amount of the Advance or Servicing Advance was added to the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan in a prior calendar month, or any Advance reimbursable to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(a);
(viii) to reimburse itself or the Company for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it or the Company pursuant to Sections 3.01(a), 3.11, 3.13, 3.14(c), 6.03, 10.01 or otherwise, or in connection with enforcing, in accordance with this Agreement, any repurchase, substitution or indemnification obligation of any Seller (other than an Affiliate of the Company) pursuant to the related Seller's Agreement;

Such right of reimbursement in respect of a Nonrecoverable Advance relating to an Advance pursuant to Section 4.04 on any such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be limited to an amount not exceeding the portion of such Advance previously paid to Certificateholders (and not theretofore reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer).
