Advancing Servicer is not entitled to be reimbursed by the Trustee from the
---
Distribution Account for any reimbursed Advances from funds held in the
Collection Account for future distribution pursuant to Section 3.04 of the
Standard Terms. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the
Advancing Servicer such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any
advancing facility agree.
(c) All Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be
deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first-in-first out" (FIFO) basis;
