Advances by Master Servicer If any Servicer fails to remit any Advance required to be made under the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make, such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date immediately following such Determination Date remit to the Securities Administrator from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Advance. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances made by it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is non-recoverable, it shall, on or prior to the related Distribution Date, deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee to such effect.
ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER AND SERVICERS SECTION 5.01 Advances by the Master Servicer and Servicers. With respect to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account as Advances, an amount equal to all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the related Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on such Non-Designated Mortgage Loans serviced by it during the applicable Collection Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the related Servicer will not be required to advance the related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make advances in accordance with this Section 5.01 with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to (a) for each Servicer, other than WMMSC, an assumed scheduled payment that would otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for that Mortgage Loan and (b) for WMMSC, one month’s interest on the outstanding principal balance at the applicable Mortgage Rate, to the extent the related Servicer deems such amount to be recoverable. Each Servicer’s obligation to make such Advances as to any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has, in the judgment of such Servicer, been completely liquidated. No Servicer shall be required to advance shortfalls of principal or interest resulting from the application of the Relief Act. With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, if the amount of Advances received from a Servicer, other than WMMSC, is less than the amount required to be advanced by such Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to remit to the Trust Administrator, for deposit by the Trust Administrator in the Certificate Account, a payment in an amount equal to such deficiency, subject to any determination by the Master Servicer that any portion of the amount required to be advanced is a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, to the extent required by Accepted Servicing Practices, the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be obligated to make Advances in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such obligation with respect to any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan shall cease if the Master Servicer or a Servicer determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect to such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer or such Servicer determines that any such advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Master Servicer or such Servicer shall provide the Trust Administrator with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination. Upon the Trust Administrator’s receipt of such certificate, the Trust Administrator shall send a copy of such certificate to the Trustee. With respect to any of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, if an Advance is required to be made hereunder by a Servicer, such Servicer shall on the Cash Remittance Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.01, used by such Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by such Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Collection Account, or from other funds in the Collection Account being held for future distributions, on or before any future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due. With respect to any Designated Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall make Advances as required by Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement.

Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be precluded from selling all or part of the Servicing Fee relating to any Mortgage Loans to any Sub-Servicer, provided that with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer sells all or a part of the related Servicing Fee, the Master Servicer shall retain full responsibility under this Agreement for the servicing activities relating to such Mortgage Loan.

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form reasonably acceptable to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service or master service and administer the related Loans and REO Property.
