On each Distribution Date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates of two or more Certificate Groups has been reduced to zero, any amounts distributable pursuant to this Section 3.01(b) will be allocated, as to each applicable Class of Subordinate Certificates, in proportion to such Class’s Subordinate Class Percentage of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for the Collateral Group relating to each such retired Certificate Group.
On each Distribution Date on which the Senior Certificates of two or more Certificate Groups remain outstanding, any amounts distributable pursuant to this Section 3.01(b) will be distributed in proportion to the aggregate Certificate Principal Balances of such Certificates of each such Certificate Group.
On any Distribution Date on which any Certificate Group constitutes an Undercollateralized Group, all amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinate Certificates, in reverse order of priority (other than amounts necessary to pay Deferred Principal Amounts or unpaid Current Shortfalls) (or, following the Credit Support Depletion Date, such other amounts described in the immediately following sentence), will be distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates (other than any Notional Certificates) of such Undercollateralized Group pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii), until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Senior Certificates equals the Pool Balance of the related Collateral Group (such distribution, an “Undercollateralization Distribution”). In the event that any Certificate Group constitutes an Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date following the Credit Support Depletion Date, Undercollateralization Distributions will be made from any Available Distribution Amount for the Collateralized Groups not related to an Undercollateralized Group remaining after all required amounts have been distributed to the Senior Certificates of such other Certificate Groups.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall apply remaining amounts in the REMIC I-1 Distribution Account in respect of interest to the Class I-Pool, Class I-Sub-A and Class I-Sub-B Interests in accordance with their interest rates set forth above. In addition, on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall apply amounts in the REMIC I-1 Distribution Account in respect of principal to the Class I-Pool, Class I-Sub-A and Class I-Sub-B Interests as follows:
(i)
first, to the Class I-Sub-A Interest and the Class I-Sub-B Interest, the minimum amounts to each such that following that allocation the weighted average rate of the Class I-Sub-A and Class I-Sub-B Interests, weighted on the principal balances thereof and determined by subjecting the Class I-Sub-A Interest to a floor of 7.250% and subjecting the Class I-Sub-B Interest to a cap of 4.940%, equals the interest rate on the Class B Certificates for the following Distribution Date;
(ii)
second, to the Class I-Pool Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero; and
(iii)
third, pro rata to the Class I-Sub-A Interest and the Class I-Sub-B Interests in accordance with their principal balances following clause (i) above.

The Securities Administrator shall withdraw all amounts allocated to the various REMIC I-2 Regular Interests and deposit such amounts in the REMIC I-3 Distribution Account for distribution pursuant to section 3.01(a) above on such Distribution Date. Any amount remaining in the REMIC I-2 Distribution Account after making all other payments required under this Section 3.01(c) shall be distributed to the holder of the Class 2-R Certificates.
Section 3.02
Allocation of Realized Losses and Shortfalls.
(a)
Realized Losses of Principal.
(i)
On each Distribution Date, the respective Applicable Fractions of each Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan, to the extent allocable to principal, shall be allocated to the related Collateral Groups for further allocation to the Class or Classes of REMIC Interests supported by such Collateral Groups in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof; provided, however, that any Realized Loss allocated to a Collateral Group shall be allocated first to the Subordinate Interests related to such Collateral Group, in reverse numerical order, until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, and then pro rata to the Senior Interests related to such Collateral Group; provided, further, that any Realized Loss otherwise allocable to the Class II-IA-1 Interest shall instead be allocated to the Class II-IA-2 Interest, until the Class Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and losses allocable to the Class II-IIIA-1 Interest shall instead be allocated to the Class II-IIIA-3 Interest, until the Class Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of REMIC Interests and not reimbursed on the same Distribution Date shall be allocated to the Corresponding Class or Classes of Certificates as described below.
(ii)
Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of REMIC I-2 Interests pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(i) and not reimbursed on the same Distribution Date shall be allocated on the same date to the Corresponding Class or Classes of REMIC I-3 Certificates.
(b)
Realized Losses Allocable to Interest. On each Distribution Date, the portion of each Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan that exceeds the outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall be allocated pro rata to the related Collateral Group or Groups, on the basis of the amount of interest due to such Collateral Group from such Mortgage Loan. On each Distribution Date, the interest portion of each Realized Loss allocated to a Collateral Group in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be further allocated pro rata, on the basis of Accrued Certificate Interest, to each Class of related REMIC Interests; provided that the interest portion of any Realized Losses allocated to the Subordinate Interests in a REMIC as provided in this Section 3.02(b) shall be allocated to such Subordinate Interests in reverse order of seniority.
(c)
Interest Shortfall. Notwithstanding anything in the Standard Terms to the contrary, on each Distribution Date, before any distributions are made on the REMIC Interests and the Certificates, Month End Interest Shortfall not covered by compensating interest from P&I Advances and Servicemembers Shortfall with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be allocated pro rata among the Classes of the related REMIC based on the amount of interest otherwise owing thereto in reduction of that amount. Such amounts shall be allocated proportionately based on (1) in the case of the Senior Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest otherwise distributable thereon and (2) in the case of the Subordinate Certificates, interest accrued on their related Apportioned Principal Balances without regard to any reduction pursuant to this paragraph, for that Distribution Date.
(d)
Modification Losses. In the event that the Note Rate on a Mortgage Loan is reduced as a result of a modification of the terms of such Mortgage Loan, such modification shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Certificate Rate on any Class of Certificates or Class of REMIC Interest. Any shortfall resulting from any such modifications, however, shall be treated as a Realized Loss occurring on each Distribution Date and shall be applied to reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates and REMIC Interests in the manner and order of priority set forth above.
(e)
In the event that there is a recovery of an amount in respect of principal of a Mortgage Loan, which amount had previously been allocated as a Realized Loss to one or more Classes of Certificates, (i) such amount shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment Amount and shall be included in the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date occurring in the month following the month in which such recovery is received and (ii) the Certificate Balance of the Classes to which any Realized Loss had previously been allocated, whether or not such Classes remain outstanding, shall be increased in direct order of seniority, in each case by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of such recovery and (y) the aggregate amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Classes less amounts previously allocated to such Classes pursuant to this paragraph.
