Dear George:

As we have discussed, I am delighted to invite you to join the board of
directors of Walter Investment Management Corp. (the “Company”) as a director
and Executive Chairman, and to serve as interim Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company (“Interim CEO”), in each case effective as of June 30,
2016 (the “Effective Date”). I believe the Company would greatly benefit from
your valuable insights and leadership. You will be compensated as set forth
below in connection with your service as a member of our board of directors and
as Interim CEO.

Effective as of the Effective Date we will appoint you to serve as a director on
the Company’s board of directors with a term expiring at the 2017 annual meeting
of stockholders (assuming the currently pending proposal to declassify the board
of directors of the Company is approved by Company stockholders at the Company’s
upcoming annual meeting of stockholders; if such proposal is not approved your
term will expire as determined by the board). Also as of the Effective Date, you
will be designated Executive Chairman of the board of directors of the Company.

In addition, as of the Effective Date, we will appoint you to serve as Interim
CEO during the period from the Effective Date through the earlier of (i) the
appointment of a new, permanent Chief Executive Officer and President of the
Company and (ii) September 30, 2016 (such period, the “Transition Period”).
During the Transition Period, you will have the normal duties, responsibilities
and authority attendant to the positions of Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company, subject to the power of the board of the Company to
expand or limit such duties, responsibilities and authority from time to time.

In connection with your assumption of responsibilities as Interim CEO, you will
be eligible to receive an award of 500,000 restricted stock units on or about
the Effective Date. The agreement governing the award of the restricted stock
units will provide that the restricted stock units will vest (i) ratably in
annual installments over three years, with the first scheduled vesting date to
be September 30, 2016, the second scheduled vesting date to be September 30,
2017, and the final scheduled vesting date to be September 30, 2018, (ii) upon a
change of control and (iii) if you are not nominated for re-election as a
director. During the Transition Period, you will also be eligible for
compensation provided to non-employee directors under the company’s non-employee
director compensation policy.

Following the effectiveness of your appointment as a director of the Company,
you would be subject to the same governance, confidentiality and other policies,
and be entitled to the same insurance, indemnification, compensation and expense
reimbursement arrangements, as apply to other non-employee directors of the
Company. In addition, you would be expected to preserve the confidentiality of
company information, including discussions and matters considered in board and
committee meetings, to the extent not disclosed publicly by the Company. Our
invitation to join the board and to serve as Interim CEO is contingent upon the
satisfactory completion of our standard new employee background check
process.    

On behalf of our board, I would like to welcome you to the Company and to
emphasize how much we look forward to you joining as a director, Executive
Chairman and Interim CEO.
