Class Certificate Balance of such Class of
Certificates
immediately prior
to
such Distribution Date, less such Class' share of
any Net Interest
Shortfall,
allocable among the outstanding Classes of Senior Certificates of the related

Advance: The payment
required to be made by
the Master Servicer
with
respect to any Distribution Date pursuant
to Section 4.1, the amount of any such
payment being equal to the aggregate of
payments of principal and interest (net

income in the case of
any REO
Property) on the Mortgage Loans that were due on the related
Due Date and not
received as of the close of business on the
related Determination Date, less the
aggregate amount of any such delinquent payments that the Master Servicer
has
determined would constitute a

Agreement: This
Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and all amendments or

solely for purposes of this definition, the applicable Subordinated Optimal
Principal Amount for each Mortgage Pool will
be reduced by the amounts required
to be distributed to the related Class PO Certificates in respect of the

reduction in the applicable Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount for each
Mortgage Pool shall reduce the amounts
calculated pursuant to
clauses (1), (4),

Subordinated
Certificates will be reduced
by such amounts in reverse order of priority until the respective Class
