Any excess amounts shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each Distribution Date, payments and losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests shall have a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests (if necessary to reflect an increase in overcollateralization, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class LTIX interest may be added to its principal amount to achieve this result) and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Class LTII1A Interest, Class LTII1B Interest, Class LTII2A Interest, Class LTII2B Interest and the Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Distributions and losses allocated to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence will be allocated among such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the following manner: (x) such distributions shall be deemed made to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining distributions of principal to the Class LTIIX Interest and (y) such losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of losses shall be allocated to each Lower REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining losses to the Class LTIIX Interest. Notwithstanding the -58- preceding two sentences, however, losses not allocated to any Class of Certificates will not be allocated to any Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests. All computations with respect to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be taken out to ten decimal places. Any available funds remaining in the Lower Tier REMIC on a Distribution Date after distributions to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LTR Interest. If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates is increased pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of "Certificate Principal Balance", then there shall be an equivalent increase in the principal amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the allocation of losses on the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests on such Distribution Date) among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that, to the greatest extent possible, (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests has a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interests and the Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Allocations in connection with clause (iii) shall be made so that, to the greatest extent possible, (a) the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group, (b) the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the excess of (x) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group over (y) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest and (c) any remaining allocations are made to the Class LTIIX Interest. For purposes of this Section 2.07, (i) the Class LTII1A Interest and Class LTII1B Interest shall be related to Group One, and (ii) the Class LTII2A Interest and Class LTII2B Interest shall be related to Group Two. (i) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the NIMs Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC on which the Servicer has relied.

Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class P and Class C Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the Corresponding REMIC Regular Interest of such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a "Class Payment Shortfall"). A Class Payment Shortfall shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent that interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the Pass-Through Rate for a Class, computed by substituting "Upper Tier REMIC Net WAC Cap" for the Available Funds Cap set forth in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued on such Certificate at the Pass-Through Rate (without such substitution) for the related Accrual Period, and a Class Payment Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. (e) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Uncertificated Class C Interest, the uncertificated Class UT-IO Interest, the rights to receive payments deemed made by the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates in respect of notional principal contracts described in Section 2.07(d)(ii), the Corridor Contract Account, the Corridor Contracts, the Supplemental Interest Trust which holds the Swap Agreement, and the obligation of the holders of the Class C Certificates to pay amounts in respect of Excess Interest to the holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class C Certificates, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class C Certificates information regarding their allocable share, if any, of the income with respect to such grantor trust, (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable, (iii) comply with such information reporting obligations with respect to payments from such grantor trust to the holders of Class A, Class M, Class B and Class C Certificates as may be applicable under the Code and (iv) provide, upon applying for and receiving the tax identification number for the grantor trust from the IRS, a properly completed Form W-9 on behalf of such grantor trust to the Swap Counterparty and Cap Contract Counterparty. (f) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the right to receive amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class P Certificates, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class P Certificates information regarding their allocable share of the income with respect to such grantor trust and (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable. (g) The parties intend that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement shall be deemed for federal income tax purposes to be paid by the Class C Certificates first, out of funds deemed received in respect of the Class UT-IO Interest, second, out of funds deemed received in respect of the Uncertificated Class C Interest and third, out of funds deemed received in respect of notional principal contracts described in Section 2.07(d)(ii), and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty are deemed paid out of funds received in respect of the Uncertificated Class C Interest, such amounts will be treated as distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Class C Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts specified in Section 4.04(g) and then paid to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the Swap Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an "outside reserve fund" for federal income tax purposes and not an asset of any REMIC. Furthermore, the Holders of the Class C Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the Supplemental Interest Trust for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon. (h) All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on each of the Mortgage Loans (other than amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof) received by the SWAP REMIC with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any available funds remaining in the SWAP REMIC on a Distribution Date after distributions to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates on account of the Class SWR Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest Funds (net of expenses (other than any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment made to the Swap Counterparty) and payments to the Class P Certificates) with respect to each of the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests based on the interest rates for each such SWAP REMIC Regular Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Principal Funds with respect to the Group One Mortgage Loans first to the Class 1-SW1 Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero and then sequentially to each of the other SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "1" in ascending order of their numerical class designation, in equal amounts to each such class in such numerical designation, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses with respect to the Group One Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "1" in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Principal Funds with respect to the Group Two Mortgage Loans first to the Class 2-SW2 Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero and then sequentially to each of the other SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "2" in ascending order of their numerical class designation, in equal amounts to each such class in such numerical designation, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses with respect to the Group Two Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "2" in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated. Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the Group One and Group Two Mortgage Loans shall be allocated in the reverse fashion from the manner in which losses are allocated. All payments received by the Lower Tier REMIC with respect to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall be paid to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any excess amounts shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each Distribution Date, payments and losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests shall have a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests (if necessary to reflect an increase in overcollateralization, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class LTIX interest may be added to its principal amount to achieve this result) and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Class LTII1A Interest, Class LTII1B Interest, Class LTII2A Interest, Class LTII2B Interest and Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Distributions and losses allocated to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence will be allocated among such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the following manner: (x) such distributions shall be deemed made to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group and second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining distributions of principal to the Class LTIIX Interest and (y) such losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgag

If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate, the "tax matters person" shall be the Person with the greatest percentage interest in the Class R Certificate and, if there is more than one such Person, shall be determined under Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulation Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. (d) It is intended that the rights of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap contracts written by the Class C Certificateholders in favor of the holders of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and apart from the regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC held by the holders of the Class A (other than the Class R Certificate), Class M and Class B Certificates and the residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC held by the holder of the Class R Certificate.

(f) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the right to receive payments distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention.

(g) [RESERVED] (h) All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on each of the Mortgage Loans (other than payments distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof) received from the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any excess amounts shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to 50% of the increase in the Overcollateralization Amount shall be payable as a reduction of the principal amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Marker Classes (with such amount allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Marker Classes so that each Lower Tier REMIC Marker Class will have its principal reduced by an amount equal to 50% of any increase in the Overcollateralization Amount that results in a reduction in the principal balance of its Related Certificates) and will be accrued and added to the principal balance of the Class LTX Interest. All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated 50% to the Class LTX Interest and 50% to the Lower Tier REMIC Marker Classes (with principal payments allocated to each of the Lower Tier REMIC Marker Classes in an amount equal to 50% of the principal amounts distributed to the Related Certificates in reduction of their principal amounts). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, an amount equal to the principal payments that result in a reduction in the Overcollateralization Amount shall be treated as payable entirely to the Class LTX Interest. Realized Losses that are allocated to the Certificates shall be applied to the Lower Tier REMIC Marker Classes and the Class LTX Interest so that after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the principal balance of each of the Lower Tier REMIC Marker Classes is equal to 50% of the principal balance of the Related Certificates and (ii) the principal balance of the Class LTX Interest is equal to the sum of (x) 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (y) 50% of the Overcollateralization Amount. Each Lower Tier REMIC Marker Class shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to 50% of all amounts distributed to the Related Certificates in respect of unreimbursed amounts of Realized Losses. The Class LTX Interest shall be entitled to receive all other amounts distributed to the Certificates in respect of unreimbursed amounts of Realized Losses. If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates is increased pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of "Certificate Principal Balance", then there shall be an equivalent increase in the principal amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the allocation of losses on the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests on such Distribution Date) among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier Marker Classes has a principal balance equal to 50% of the principal balance of the Related Certificates, (ii) the Class LTX Interest has a principal balance equal to the sum of (x) 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (y) 50% of the Overcollateralization Amount. (i) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by a Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, each Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that a Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Holder of a Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Class R Certificate on which such Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Class R Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall a Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than those arising out of a negligent performance by such Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates). (j) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Securities Administrator shall indemnify the Servicers and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of a Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of a Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Class R Certificate on which the Securities Administrator has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Class R Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than those arising out of a negligent performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

Any excess amounts shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each Distribution Date, payments and losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests shall have a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests (if necessary to reflect an increase in overcollateralization, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class LTIX interest may be added to its principal amount to achieve this result) and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Class LTII1A Interest, Class LTII1B Interest, Class LTII2A Interest, Class LTII2B Interest and Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Distributions and losses allocated to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence will be allocated among such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the following manner: (x) such distributions shall be deemed made to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining distributions of principal to the Class LTIIX Interest and (y) such losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of losses shall be allocated to each Lower REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining losses to the Class LTIIX Interest. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, however, losses not allocated to any Class of Certificates will not be allocated to any Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests. All computations with respect to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be taken out to ten decimal places. Any available funds remaining in the Lower Tier REMIC on a Distribution Date after distributions to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be distributed to the Class R Certificate in respect of the Class LTR Interest. If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates is increased pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of "Certificate Principal Balance", then there shall be an equivalent increase in the principal amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the allocation of losses on the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests on such Distribution Date) among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that, to the greatest extent possible, (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests has a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interests and the Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Allocations in connection with clause (iii) shall be made so that, to the greatest extent possible, (a) the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group, (b) the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the excess of (x) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group over (y) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest and (c) any remaining allocations are made to the Class LTIIX Interest. For purposes of this Section 2.07, (i) the Class LTII1A Interest and Class LTII1B Interest shall be related to Group One, and (ii) the Class LTII2A Interest and Class LTII2B Interest shall be related to Group Two. (i) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of the Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the Class R Certificate on which the Servicer has relied.

If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate, the “tax matters person” shall be the Person with the greatest percentage interest in the Class R Certificate and, if there is more than one such Person, shall be determined under Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulation Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. (d) It is intended that the rights of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap contracts written in favor of the holders of the Class A, Class M, and Class B Certificates by the holder of the Class X Certificates, and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and apart from the regular interests in REMIC 3 held by the holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates.

The parties intend that in the event that any servicer’s fee is computed based on a rate that exceeds the rate upon which the Servicer’s fee is computed as of the Closing Date, the holders of the Class ES Certificates shall be treated as if they received any amounts that are paid to such servicer and such holders shall be deemed to pay such amounts to such servicer. (f) All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on each of the Mortgage Loans received from the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any excess amounts shall be distributed to the Class LT1-R Interest. On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to 50% of the increase in the Overcollateralization Amount shall be payable as a reduction of the principal amounts of the REMIC 1 Marker Interests (with such amount allocated among the REMIC 1 Marker Interests so that each REMIC 1 Marker Interest will have its principal reduced by an amount equal to 50% of any increase in the Overcollateralization Amount that results in a reduction in the principal balance of its Corresponding REMIC 2 Interest) and will be accrued and added to the principal balance of the Class LT1-X Interest. All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated 50% to the Class LT1-X Interest and 50% to the REMIC 1 Marker Interests (with principal payments allocated to each of the REMIC 1 Marker Interests in an amount equal to 50% of the principal amounts distributed to the Corresponding REMIC 2 Interests in reduction of their principal amounts). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, an amount equal to the principal payments that result in a reduction in the Overcollateralization Amount shall be treated as payable entirely to the Class LT1-X Interest. Realized Losses, other than Realized Losses that are not applied against overcollateralization or the principal amount of the Class M, Class X or Class B Certificates, shall be applied to the REMIC 1 Marker Interests and the Class LT1-X Interest so that after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the principal balance of each of the REMIC 1 Marker Interests is equal to 50% of the principal balance of the Corresponding REMIC 2 Interest and (ii) the principal balance of the Class LT1-X Interest is equal to the sum of (x) 50% of the sum of (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) the Pre-Funded Amount and (y) 50% of the Overcollateralization Amount. Each REMIC 1 Marker Interest shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to 50% of all amounts distributed to the Corresponding REMIC 2 Interest in respect of unreimbursed amounts of Realized Losses. The Class LT1-X Interest shall be entitled to receive all other amounts distributed to the Certificates in respect of unreimbursed amounts of Realized Losses. The principal balance of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests will be increased on each Distribution Date in an amount equal to any increase on such Distribution Date in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates pursuant to the definition of “Certificate Principal Balance.” The increase described in the preceding sentence shall be allocated 50% to the Class LT1-X Interest and 50% among the REMIC 1 Marker Interests so that each REMIC 1 Marker Interest will have its principal amount increased by an amount equal to 50% of the increase in the principal balance of its Corresponding REMIC 2 Interest pursuant to the immediately following paragraph. (g) All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, Realized Losses and shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans that are allocated to the Certificates, shall be allocated among the REMIC 2 Regular Interests in the same manner as such payments, Realized Losses or shortfalls are allocated to the Related Certificates (treating the Class S Certificates as Related Certificates with respect to each of the Class LT2-A-1A Interest, the Class LT2-A-1B Interest and the Class LT2-A-1C Interest in proportion to their respective principal balances and treating the Class X Certificates as Related Certificates with respect to the Class LT2-X Interest). Each REMIC 2 Regular Interest shall be entitled to receive all amounts distributed to the Related Certificates in respect of unreimbursed amounts of Realized Losses or shortfalls (treating the Class S Certificates as Related Certificates with respect to each of the Class LT2-A-1A Interest, Class LT2-A-1B Interest and Class LT2-A-1C Interest in proportion to their respective principal balances and treating the Class X Certificates as Related Certificates with respect to the Class LT2-X Interest). If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates is increased pursuant to the definition of “Certificate Principal Balance”, then there shall be an equivalent increase in the principal amounts of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests, with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the allocation of losses on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests on such Distribution Date) among the REMIC 2 Regular Interests in the same manner as such increase is allocated to the Related Certificates. (h) All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, and Realized Losses and shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans, shall be allocated among the REMIC 3 Interests in the same manner as such payments or Realized Losses or shortfalls are allocated to the Related Certificates (treating the Class S Certificates as Related Certificates with respect to each of the REMIC 3 S Components in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued interest and treating the Class X Certificates as related to the REMIC 3X Interest for this purpose). Each REMIC 3 Interest shall be entitled to receive all amounts distributed to the Related Certificates in respect of unreimbursed amounts of Realized Losses or shortfalls (treating the Class S Certificates as Related Certificates with respect to each of the REMIC 3 S Components in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued interest and treating the Class X Certificates as related to the REMIC 3X Interest for this purpose). The principal balance of the REMIC 3 Interests will be increased on each Distribution Date in an amount equal to any increase on such Distribution Date in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Related Certificates pursuant to the definition of “Certificate Principal Balance.” In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicing Administrator and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of the Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the Class R Certificate on which the Servicer has relied.

In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class C Certificates information regarding their allocable share, if any, of the income with respect to such grantor trust, (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable and (iii) comply with such information reporting obligations with respect to payments from such grantor trust to the holders of Class A, Class M, Class B and Class C Certificates as may be applicable under the Code.

Any excess amounts shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each Distribution Date, payments and losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests shall have a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests (if necessary to reflect an increase in overcollateralization, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class LTIX interest may be added to its principal amount to achieve this result) and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Class LTII1A Interest, Class LTII1B Interest, Class LTII2A Interest, Class LTII2B Interest and the Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Distributions and losses allocated to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence will be allocated among such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the following manner: (x) such distributions shall be deemed made to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining distributions of principal to the Class LTIIX Interest and (y) such losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of losses shall be allocated to each Lower REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining losses to the Class LTIIX Interest. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, however, losses not allocated to any Class of Certificates will not be allocated to any Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests. All computations with respect to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be taken out to ten decimal places. Any available funds remaining in the Lower Tier REMIC on a Distribution Date after distributions to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LTR Interest. If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates is increased pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of "Certificate Principal Balance", then there shall be an equivalent increase in the principal amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the allocation of losses on the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests on such Distribution Date) among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that, to the greatest extent possible, (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests has a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interests and the Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Allocations in connection with clause (iii) shall be made so that, to the greatest extent possible, (a) the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group, (b) the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the excess of (x) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group over (y) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest and (c) any remaining allocations are made to the Class LTIIX Interest. For purposes of this Section 2.07, (i) the Class LTII1A Interest and Class LTII1B Interest shall be related to Group One, and (ii) the Class LTII2A Interest and Class LTII2B Interest shall be related to Group Two. (i) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the NIMs Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC on which the Servicer has relied.

This Agreement shall be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that each of the Upper Tier REMIC, the Lower Tier REMIC and the SWAP REMIC be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated.

The REMIC Regular Interests shall be designated as the regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and the Residual Interest shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. For federal income tax purposes, the pass-through rate on each REMIC Regular Interest (other than the Uncertificated Class C Interest and the Class UT-IO Interest) and on the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC shall be subject to a cap equal to the Upper Tier REMIC Net WAC Cap. The beneficial ownership of the Class SWR Interest, the Class LTR Interest and the Residual Interest shall be represented by the Class R Certificate. The Class SWR Interest and the Class LTR Interest shall not have a principal balance or bear interest. (c) The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate; provided, however, that the Holder of the Class R Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act as "tax matters person" with respect to each such REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate, the "tax matters person" shall be the Person with the greatest percentage interest in the Class R Certificate and, if there is more than one such Person, shall be determined under Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulation Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. (i) It is intended that the rights of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap contracts written by the Class C Certificateholders in favor of the holders of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and apart from the regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC held by the holders of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class R Certificate), Class M Certificates, Class B Certificates and the residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC held by the holder of the Class R Certificate. For information reporting requirements, the rights of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be assumed to have zero or a de minimis value. This provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with REMIC interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistently with such regulation.

(ii) It is intended that the beneficial owners of the Certificates (other than the Class P and Class C Certificates) shall be treated as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class P and Class C Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the Corresponding REMIC Regular Interest of such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a "Class Payment Shortfall"). A Class Payment Shortfall shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent that interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the Pass-Through Rate for a Class, computed by substituting "Upper Tier REMIC Net WAC Cap" for the Available Funds Cap set forth in -76- the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued on such Certificate at the Pass-Through Rate (without such substitution) for the related Accrual Period, and a Class Payment Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. (e) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Uncertificated Class C Interest, the uncertificated Class UT-IO Interest, the rights to receive payments deemed made by the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates in respect of notional principal contracts described in Section 2.07(d)(ii), the Corridor Contract Account, the Corridor Contracts, the Supplemental Interest Trust which holds the Swap Agreement, and the obligation of the holders of the Class C Certificates to pay amounts in respect of Excess Interest to the holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class C Certificates, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class C Certificates information regarding their allocable share, if any, of the income with respect to such grantor trust, (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable, (iii) comply with such information reporting obligations with respect to payments from such grantor trust to the holders of Class A, Class M, Class B and Class C Certificates as may be applicable under the Code and (iv) provide, upon applying for and receiving the tax identification number for the grantor trust from the IRS, a properly completed Form W-9 on behalf of such grantor trust to the Swap Counterparty and Cap Contract Counterparty. (f) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the right to receive amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class P Certificates, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class P Certificates information regarding their allocable share of the income with respect to such grantor trust and (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable. (g) The parties intend that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement shall be deemed for federal income tax purposes to be paid by the Class C Certificates first, out of funds deemed received in respect of the Class UT-IO Interest, second, out of funds deemed received in respect of the Uncertificated Class C Interest and third, out of funds deemed received in respect of notional principal contracts described in Section 2.07(d)(ii), and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty are deemed paid out of funds received in respect of the Uncertificated Class C Interest, such amounts will be treated as distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Class C Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts specified in Section 4.04(g) and then paid to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the Swap Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an "outside reserve fund" for federal income tax purposes and not an asset of any REMIC. Furthermore, the Holders of the Class C Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the Supplemental Interest Trust for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon. (h) All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on each of the Mortgage Loans (other than amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof) received by the SWAP REMIC with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any available funds remaining in the SWAP REMIC on a Distribution Date after distributions to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates on account of the Class SWR Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest Funds (net of expenses (other than any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment made to the Swap Counterparty) and payments to the Class P Certificates) with respect to each of the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests based on the interest rates for each such SWAP REMIC Regular Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Principal Funds with respect to the Group One Mortgage Loans first to the Class 1-SW1 Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero and then sequentially to each of the other SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "1" in ascending order of their numerical class designation, in equal amounts to each such class in such numerical designation, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses with respect to the Group One Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "1" in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Principal Funds with respect to the Group Two Mortgage Loans first to the Class 2-SW2 Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero and then sequentially to each of the other SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "2" in ascending order of their numerical class designation, in equal amounts to each such class in such numerical designation, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses with respect to the Group Two Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "2" in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated. Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the Group One and Group Two Mortgage Loans shall be allocated in the reverse fashion from the manner in which losses are allocated. All payments received by the Lower Tier REMIC with respect to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall be paid to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any excess amounts shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each Distribution Date, payments and losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests shall have a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests (if necessary to reflect an increase in overcollateralization, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class LTIX interest may be added to its principal amount to achieve this result) and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Class LTII1A Interest, Class LTII1B Interest, Class LTII2A Interest, Class LTII2B Interest and Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Distributions and losses allocated to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence will be allocated among such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the following manner: (x) such distributions shall be deemed made to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group and second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining distributions of principal to the Class LTIIX Interest and (y) such losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mo
