In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in

Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of
the third taxable year after the year of its acquisition by the Trust
Fund unless the Servicer has applied for and received a grant of
extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under
the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under
applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property
for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such
REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such
REMIC. If the Servicer has received such an extension, then the Servicer
shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market
value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits
(the "Extended Period"). If the Servicer has not received such an
extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the
period ending 3 months before the end of such third taxable year after
its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Servicer has received such
an extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within
the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period,
the Servicer shall, before the end of the three year period or the
Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a
price equal to the REO Property's fair market value or (ii) auction the
REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an
auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the
expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case
may be. The Trustee shall sign any document or take any other action
reasonably requested by the Servicer which would enable the Servicer, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO
Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to
continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust
Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause
such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any Trust
REMIC to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned
from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of
Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the
imposition of any such taxes.

and status thereof including the steps being taken by the Servicer
to remedy such default.

Expenses) is hereby amended by deleting the word "all" from the third

follows:
(1) the first sentence shall be deleted in its entirety;

rights of the Owner" with "then the Servicer may reimburse

the Trust Fund."

Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this
subclause (e) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being
limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage
Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or
interest respecting which any such advance was made,
it being understood that, in the case of any such
reimbursement, the Servicer's right to such
reimbursement shall be prior to the rights of the
Trust Fund; provided however, that in the event that
the Servicer determines in good faith that any
unreimbursed Monthly Advances will not be recoverable
from amounts representing late recoveries of payments
of principal or interest respecting the particular
Mortgage Loan as to which such Monthly Advance was
made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer may reimburse itself for such amounts from
the Collection Account, it being understood, in the
case of any such reimbursement, that the Servicer's
right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the
Trust Fund.

pursuant to Section 8.3(a).

Servicer after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the
Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on any such
late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted
as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but
in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Collection
Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and
shall cover the period commencing with the day following such
Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such
payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted
along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. The payment by the Servicer of any such
interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a
waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.
All remittances required to be made to the Master Servicer
shall be made to the following wire account:
Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association
Minneapolis, Minnesota

Account Name: Corporate Trust Clearing
For further credit to: 13671500 ARC 2000-BC2
Section 6.7 Statements to Master Servicer.
Not later than the tenth calendar day (or if such tenth
calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day) of each month, the Servicer shall furnish to the
Master Servicer (a) a monthly remittance advice containing such
information in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 or other
mutually acceptable format as to the accompanying remittance and
the period ending on the preceding Determination Date and (b) all
such information required pursuant to clause (a) above on a
magnetic tape or other similar media reasonably acceptable to the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer will convert such data into a
format acceptable to the Guarantor and provide monthly reports to
the Guarantor pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
Such monthly remittance advice shall also include on a
cumulative basis the amount of any (i) claims filed, (ii) claim
payments made, (iii) claims denied and (iv) policies cancelled
with respect to those Serviced Mortgage Loans covered by
loan-level primary mortgage insurance policies provided by MGIC or
any other provider of primary mortgage insurance purchased by the
Trust.
The Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with such
information available to it concerning the Mortgage Loans as is
necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare the Trust Fund's
federal income tax return as the Master Servicer may reasonably
request from time to time.
Section 6.8 Monthly Advances by Servicer.
On the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution
Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account from
its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution an
amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to
the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage
Loans during the applicable Collection Period and which were
delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding
Determination Date. Any amounts held for future distribution and
so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the
Collection Account on or before any future Distribution Date if
funds in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date shall be
less than remittances to the Master Servicer required to be made
on such Distribution Date. The Servicer shall keep appropriate
records of such amounts and will provide such records to the
Guarantor and the Master Servicer upon request. The Guarantor, in
its reasonable judgment, shall have the right to require the
Servicer to remit from its own funds to the Collection Account an
amount equal to all Monthly Advances previously made out of funds
held in the Collection Account and not previously reimbursed from
collections on the Mortgage Loans, and in such event, the Servicer
shall thereafter remit all Monthly Advances from its own funds. In
no event shall the preceding sentence be construed as limiting the
Servicer's right to (i) pass through late collections on the
related Mortgage Loans in lieu of making Monthly Advances or (ii)
reimburse itself for such Monthly Advances from late collections
on the related Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall make Monthly Advances through the
Distribution Date immediately preceding the distribution of all
Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including
insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds) with respect to the
related Mortgage Loans.
Section 6.9 Compensating Interest.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on a
daily basis, and retain therein with respect to each Principal
Prepayment, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for
the month of such distribution. Such deposit shall be made from
the Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefor up to a
maximum amount per month of the Servicing Fee actually received
for such month for the Mortgage Loans.
48. Section 7.1(e) (Litigation) is hereby amended by adding "in any one
instance or in the aggregate," after "if adversely determined,".
49. Section 7.1(h) (Ability to Service) is hereby amended by deleting
"seller/" in the first line thereof and "FNMA or" in each instance.
50. A new paragraph is hereby added at the end of Section 7.1
(Representations and Warranties) to read as follows:
It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 7.1 shall survive the engagement
of the Servicer to perform the servicing responsibilities
hereunder and the delivery of the Servicing Files to the Servicer
and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee and the Trust Fund.
Upon discovery by either the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties which materially and adversely affects the ability of
the Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this
Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value
of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority of
the security interest on such Mortgaged Property or the interest
of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.
Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or
notice to the Servicer of any breach of a representation or
warranty set forth in Section 7.1 which materially and adversely
affects the ability of the Servicer to perform its duties and
obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and
adversely affects the value of the Loans, the Mortgaged Property
or the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged
Property, the Servicer shall use its best efforts promptly to cure
such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be
cured, the Servicer shall, at the Trustee's option, assign the
Servicer's rights and obligations under this Agreement (or
respecting the affected Loans) to a successor Servicer selected by
the Trustee with the prior consent and approval of the Master
Servicer and the Guarantor. Such assignment shall be made in
accordance with Section 10.4.
In addition, the Servicer shall indemnify (from its own
funds) the Trustee, the Trust Fund, the Guarantor and the Master
Servicer and hold each of them harmless against any costs
resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or
grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Servicer's
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is
understood and agreed that the remedies set forth in this Section
7.1 constitute the sole remedies of the Master Servicer, the Trust
Fund and the Trustee respecting a breach of the foregoing
representations and warranties.
Any cause of action against the Servicer relating to or
arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties
made in Section 7.1 shall accrue upon (i) discovery of such breach
by the Servicer or notice thereof by the Trustee or Master
Servicer to the Servicer, (ii) failure by the Servicer to cure
such breach within the applicable cure period, and (iii) demand
upon the Servicer by the Trustee, the Guarantor or the Master
Servicer for compliance with this Agreement.
51. Section 8.2 (Servicer's Indemnity of Owner) is hereby amended by
changing the word "Owner" in the second, fifth and ninth lines thereof
to "Master Servicer, Guarantor, Trustee and the Trust Fund".
52. Section 8.3 (Owner's Indemnity of Servicer; Limitation on Liability of
Servicer) is hereby amended by (i) replacing Section 8.3(a) with the
following:
The Servicer and any director or officer or employee or
agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and
held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
; (ii) deleting the fifth and sixth sentences of Section 8.3(d); and
changing the word "Owner" in Section 8.3(b) to "Master Servicer,
Guarantor, Trustee or Trust Fund".
53. Section 9.1 (Events of Default) is hereby amended by changing the words
"three (3)" in paragraph (a) thereto to "one (1)".
54. Section 10.1(b) is deleted and replaced by the following:
If the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations
which would result, after expiration of the applicable notice and
cure or grace period (if applicable), in a Servicer Event of
Default hereunder, the Master Servicer may terminate this
Agreement by written notice to the other party, specifying the
effective date of such termination and instructions with respect
to the Servicing Files and Mortgage Loan Documents. The Servicer
shall do all things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such termination and the transfer of servicing and
shall pay all costs and expenses related to the transfer of
servicing. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
Properties shall terminate effective as of the date specified in
such written notice. The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Guarantor may also pursue whatever rights they may have at law or
in equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance.
55. New paragraphs (c) and (d) are hereby added to the end of Section 10.1
to read as follows:
(c) By a written notice, the Trustee and the Master
Servicer, with the consent of the Guarantor, may waive any default
by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder
and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default under
Section 9.1 arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
(d) With the prior consent of Freddie Mac, the Directing
Holder may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement without cause. Any such termination shall be
with 30 days' prior notice, in writing and delivered to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Servicer by registered mail.
The Servicer shall comply with the termination procedures set
forth in Section 10.4 hereof. The Master Servicer or the Trustee
shall have no right to terminate the Servicer pursuant to this
Section 10.1(c). In the event of a termination pursuant to this
Section 10.1(c), the Directing Holder shall (i) appoint a
successor servicer in accordance with Section 10.4 and (ii) pay to
the Servicer a sum, as liquidated damages, from its own funds
without reimbursement, equal to the product of (a) two, (b) the
annual servicing fee rate, and (c) the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of the Loans for which this Agreement is going to be
terminated as of the last day of the month following receipt of
such notice of termination.
56. Section 10.2 is hereby amended by changing the word "Owner" to "Master
Servicer, the Guarantor and the Depositor".
57. Section 10.3 (Servicer Not to Resign) is hereby amended by changing the
word "Owner" to the "Master Servicer, the Guarantor and the Trustee",
except in the final sentence thereof where the word "Owner" shall be
replaced by the word "Master Servicer".
58. The following new paragraphs are hereby added to Section 10.4
immediately preceding the existing paragraph of Section 10.4, to read as
follows:
Upon the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and
duties under this Agreement (a) pursuant to Sections or 10.3 or
12.13, the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the
provisions of the Trust Agreement (i) succeed to and assume all of
the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor meeting the
eligibility requirements of this Agreement and which shall succeed
to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement with the
termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and
liabilities under this Agreement; or (b) pursuant to Section
10.1(c), the Directing Holder shall appoint a successor which
shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under
this Agreement with the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any
successor to the Servicer shall be subject to the approval of the
Master Servicer, the Guarantor, the Depositor and each Rating
Agency (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement). Each
Rating Agency must deliver to the Trustee a letter to the effect
that such transfer of servicing will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating
of any of the Certificates. In addition, with respect to any FHA
Loans serviced hereunder, the Servicer shall provide notice of
such change in servicers to HUD on HUD Form 92080 or such other
form as prescribed by HUD, at least 10 days after such transfer of
servicing. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Servicer under this Agreement. In the event that the
Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this
Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned
sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and
responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires
knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof
with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is
obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no
action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or
financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal
of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not
become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to
this Section 10.4 and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of
the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 7.1
and the remedies available to the Trustee under Section 7.1, it
being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Section
7.1 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such
resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of
this Agreement.
Within a reasonable period of time, but in no event longer
than 30 days of the appointment of a successor entity, the
Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor
entity any and all documents and other instruments, place in such
successor's possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be
done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and the Master Servicer, as applicable,
and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of
servicing responsibilities to the successor Servicer, including
without limitation, the transfer to such successor for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time
be credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account or any
Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Loans.
In the event the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section
10.1(c), the Directing Holder shall be responsible for payment
from its own funds of any out-of-pocket costs incurred by the
Servicer and the Master Servicer in connection with the transfer
of the Serviced Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, the Servicer and the
Master Servicer an instrument (i) accepting such appointment,
wherein the successor shall make the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 7.1 and (ii) an assumption of the
due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and
condition to be performed and observed by the Servicer under this
Agreement, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with
all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally
named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation
of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Sections 10.1 or 10.3 shall not affect any claims that the Master
Servicer or the Trustee may have against the Servicer arising out
of the Servicer's actions or failure to act prior to any such
termination or resignation.
The Servicer shall deliver within three (3) Business Days to
the successor Servicer the funds in the Collection Account and
Escrow Account and all Loan Documents and related documents and
statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for
all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do
such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and
definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Servicer.
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the
Servicer shall notify the Trustee and Master Servicer of such
appointment in accordance with the notice procedures set forth
herein.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any
transfer of servicing hereunder (whether as a result of
termination or removal of the Servicer or resignation of the
Servicer or otherwise), including, without limitation, the costs
and expenses of the Master Servicer or any other Person in
appointing a successor servicer, or of the Master Servicer in
assuming the responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder, or of
transferring the Servicing Files and the other necessary data to
the successor servicer shall be paid by the terminated, removed or
resigning Servicer from its own funds without reimbursement.
59. Section 12.2 (Choice of Law) shall be deleted in its entirety.
60. Section 12.4 (Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers) is hereby amended
by replacing "the party against whom such amendment is sought to be
enforced" with "the Servicer and Lehman Capital, with the written
consent of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Guarantor", and by
deleting the third sentence thereof and replacing it with "The Master
Servicer may, by written notice to the Servicer, extend the time for or
waive the performance of any of the obligations of the Servicer
hereunder."
61. Section 12.5 (No Joint Venture; Limited Agency) is hereby amended by
replacing the word "Owner" with "Trustee, Trust Fund, Master Servicer or
Lehman Capital" in each instance.
62. New Sections 12.11 (Intended Third Party Beneficiaries), 12.12
(Guarantor Audit and Inspection Rights; Access to Financial Statements),
12.13 (Guarantor Right of Termination or Declaration of Event of
Default), 12.14 (Fees for Failure to Provide Timely Reports), 12.15
(Confidentiality) and 12.16 (Deficiency Judgments) are added to the Flow
Servicing Agreement to read as follows:
Section 12.11 Intended Third Party Beneficiaries.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the parties
to this Agreement agree that it is appropriate, in furtherance of
the intent of such parties as set forth herein, that the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Directing Holder
receive the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement as
intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the extent
of such provisions. The Servicer shall have the same obligations
to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Guarantor and the
Directing Holder as if they were parties to this Agreement, and
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Directing
Holder shall have the same rights and remedies to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement as if they were parties to this
Agreement. The Servicer shall only take direction from the Master
Servicer (if direction by the Master Servicer is required under
this Agreement) unless otherwise directed by this Agreement or the
Loss Mitigation Advisory Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Trustee
hereunder (other than the right to indemnification) shall
terminate upon termination of the Trust Agreement and of the Trust
Fund pursuant to the Trust Agreement, and all rights of the
Guarantor hereunder (other than the right to indemnification)
shall terminate upon termination of the Guaranty.
Section 12.12 Guarantor Audit and Inspection Rights; Access to
Financial Statements.
(a) During business hours, or at such other times as may be
reasonable under the applicable circumstances, and upon reasonable
advance notice to the Servicer, the Guarantor, with the assistance and
cooperation of an appropriate Servicing Officer or other knowledgeable
financial officer of the Servicer, shall have the right to (i) review
and audit the Servicer's servicing procedures as they relate to the
Serviced Mortgage Loans and (ii) examine and audit the Servicing Files
and related book, records and other information of the Servicer, but
solely as they relate to the Serviced Mortgage Loans and this Agreement.
(b) Within ninety days after the Closing Date, to the extent the
Servicing Files contain information relating to the underwriting
criteria used in the origination of each Mortgage Loan, the Guarantor
will have the right to review up to 800 of the Servicing Files and the
related underwriting documentation in order to ascertain whether each
such Mortgage Loan was originated generally in accordance with the
applicable underwriting standards. If the Guarantor determinates that
more than 20% (by number) of such 800 Mortgage Loans were not originated
in accordance with the applicable underwriting standards, the Guarantor
will have the right to review additional Servicing Files until the
Guarantor obtains a sample containing less than 20% (by number) of
Mortgage Loans not so originated.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that goes into foreclosure,
the Guarantor will have the right to request the Servicer to deliver a
copy of the related Servicing File to the Guarantor to review.
(d) Within thirty days of their issuance to the public (in the
event that Servicer is a SEC reporting company) or to its members or
stockholders, the Servicer shall make available to the Guarantor a copy
of its audited financial statements. The Servicer shall also make
available upon the request of the Guarantor any comparable interim
financial statements, but only to the extent that such statements have
been prepared by or on behalf of the Servicer in the normal course of
its business and are available upon request to its members or
stockholders or to the public at large.
Section 12.13. Guarantor Right of Termination or Declaration of
Event of Default.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the
event either (i) any Class of Certificates issued by the Trust Fund with
an initial rating assigned by the Rating Agencies of "AA" is downgraded
to "A" (or an equivalent rating) or lower or (ii) a Realized Loss is
applied to reduce the principal balance of the Class B Certificates, the
Guarantor, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to terminate the
Servicer or Servicers (or any subservicers) of the Serviced Mortgage
Loans to which such applied Realized Loss is attributable and to appoint
a successor servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 10.4.
Section 12.14 Fees for Failure to Provide Timely Reports.
In the event the Master Servicer fails to provide certain reports
to the Guarantor accurately, completely and timely due to the Servicer's
failure to timely provide the necessary information to the Master
Servicer, and the Master Servicer is required to pay a fee to the
Guarantor, such fee shall be paid by the Servicer; provided, however,
that no more than one such fee shall be payable in any month. The fees
are as follows:
1. For the first such failure, the amount of $500; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to
make any such payment upon the first such failure during
each successive two-year period following the Closing Date.
2. For the second such failure, the amount of $750.
3. For the third such failure, the amount of $1,000.
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required to
make any such payments upon the first such failure during each
successive two year period following the Closing Date.
Section 12.15 Confidentiality.
The Servicer and the Master Servicer shall keep the terms of this
Agreement and the Trust Agreement regarding fees and expenses
confidential to the extent such information is not otherwise disclosed
in or pursuant to the Trust Agreement or any publicly available
documents.
Section 12.16. Deficiency Judgments.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Holders of the Subordinate
Certificates that are or may be affected by a Realized Loss on a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan are deemed to have repurchased the ownership
interest in such Liquidated Mortgage Loan held by Holders of the Senior
Certificates. In connection with the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, if
(i) the Servicer is directed by the Master Servicer to seek a deficiency
judgment, (ii) the Servicer is offered suitable indemnification and
reimbursement for expenses from the Holders of Subordinate Certificates,
and (iii) such action is permitted by law, the Servicer shall seek a
deficiency judgment under such Liquidated Mortgage Loan on behalf of the
Holders of the Subordinate Certificates to the extent of any Realized
Loss.
