Purchaser within one hundred twenty (120) days of default for any such second
lien Mortgage Loan a bid pass package to Purchaser containing all relevant

such
capacity, may consent to the refinancing of the prior senior lien, provided
that
the following requirements are met: (i) the resulting combined Loan-to-Value
Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher than the combined Loan-to-Value Ratio
prior to such refinancing; and (ii) the interest rate, or, in the case of an
adjustable rate existing senior lien, the maximum interest rate, for the loan
