ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01 Definitions.
Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases,
unless
the context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings specified in this
Article.
Accrued Certificate Interest: With respect to each Distribution
Date, as
to any Class of Certificates (other than the Principal Only
Certificates),
an
amount equal to interest accrued during the related
Interest Accrual
Period at
the related Pass-Through Rate on the
Certificate Principal
Balance or Notional
Amount thereof immediately prior to such
Distribution Date. Accrued Certificate
Interest will be calculated on the basis of
a 360-day year, consisting of twelve
30-day months. In each case Accrued Certificate Interest on any Class of
Certificates will be reduced by interest
shortfalls from the
Mortgage Loans in
the related Loan Group, if any, allocated
to such Class of Certificates for such
Distribution Date, to the extent not covered with respect to the Senior
Certificates by the Subordination provided
by the Class B Certificates and Class
M Certificates and, with respect to each Class of
Subordinate
Certificates to
the extent not covered by the Subordination provided by each Subordinate
Certificate with a Lower Priority,
including in each case:
(i)
Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls
on the Mortgage Loans in the
related Loan
Group (to the
extent not offset by the Master
Servicer with a payment of Compensating Interest as provided in
Section 4.01),
allocated among the
Certificates
on a pro rata
basis,
(ii) the
interest portion
(adjusted to the Net
Mortgage Rate (or the
Modified Net
Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified
Mortgage
Loan)) of Realized
Losses on the Mortgage
Loans in the
related
Loan Group (including
Excess Losses from the related Loan Group)
not allocated
solely
to one or more specific Classes of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05,
(iii) the interest
portion of Advances
that were (A)
previously made
with respect to a
Mortgage Loan or REO
Property on the Mortgage
Loans in the related
Loan Group,
which remained unreimbursed
following the
Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition of such
Mortgage
Loan or REO Property or (B) made with respect to
delinquencies that were ultimately determined to be Excess
Losses
from the related Loan Group, and
(iv) any other
interest shortfalls
not covered by the
subordination
provided by the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates,
including interest
that is not
collectible
from the Mortgagor

Accrued Certificate
Interest payable

any
Class of Class B Certificates or any Class of Class M Certificates, Accrued
Certificate Interest on such Class of Class B Certificates or such Class of
Class M Certificates will be reduced by the interest

are allocated solely to such Class of
Class B Certificates or such Class of Class M
Certificates pursuant

Nonrecoverable
Advance: Any Advance
previously made or
proposed to be
made by the Master Servicer or Subservicer in respect
of a Mortgage Loan (other

Master
Servicer, will not, or, in the case of a proposed Advance, would not, be
ultimately recoverable by the Master Servicer from related Late
Collections,
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or
REO Proceeds. To the extent that any
Mortgagor is not obligated under the related Mortgage documents to pay or
reimburse any portion of any Advances that
are outstanding
with respect to
the
related Mortgage Loan as a result of a
modification of such Mortgage Loan by the
Master Servicer, which forgives unpaid Monthly
Payments or other amounts which
the Master Servicer had previously
advanced, and the
Master Servicer determines
that no other source of payment or
reimbursement for such
advances is available
to it, such Advances shall be deemed to be
nonrecoverable;
provided, however,
that in connection with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall provide an
Officers' Certificate as described below. The determination by the Master
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be evidenced by a
certificate of a Servicing Officer,
Responsible Officer or Vice President or its
equivalent or senior officer of the Master
Servicer, delivered to the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Master Servicer setting forth such determination, which
shall include any other information or reports
obtained by the Master
Servicer
such as property operating statements, rent rolls, property inspection
reports
and engineering reports, which may support
such determinations.
Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee shall be entitled to
rely upon any
determination by the
Master Servicer that any Advance previously
made is a Nonrecoverable Advance or
that any proposed Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
