          (b) By no later than 30 days after the Closing Date, ResCap shall deliver to NewCo a written
statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth the calculation of (i) Aggregate NBV
and (ii) Additional Proceeds, together with (x) the material documentation supporting such
calculations and (y) a certificate, executed by a duly authorized officer of ResCap, to the effect
that such calculations were made in good faith and are consistent with the books and records of
ResCap and Seller. ResCap agrees to make available to NewCo, at NewCo’s request, all books and

NBV” means the Aggregate NBV as set forth in the Post-Closing Statement, subject to adjustment

Assets that represent the Excess NBV (the “Excess Assets”), the term “Excluded Assets”

applicable Subsidiary in and to such Excess Assets shall be transferred to Seller pursuant to

to reach mutual agreement by the end of such 30-day period, NewCo shall pay to Seller an amount in
cash equal to the product of (i) the Excess NBV and (ii) 0.4799946.

          (d) To the extent Final Aggregate NBV is less than $479,172,068 (such excess amount, the

Post-Closing Statement, reach mutual agreement as to which additional assets of ResCap and its
controlled Affiliates shall be included as “Transferred Assets” to result in the Aggregate NBV
(taking into account such additional assets) equaling $479,172,068, (ii) such additional assets
shall be deemed to be “Transferred Assets” and ResCap shall, or shall cause its controlled
Affiliate to, sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to NewCo or the Subsidiary designated by
NewCo, all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to such additional assets and (iii)
the term “Final Aggregate NBV” shall mean the Aggregate NBV as set forth in the Post-Closing
Statement plus the aggregate net book value of such additional assets as recorded on the
books of ResCap as of the Cut-Off Date.



     Section 2.11 Allocation of Purchase Price. A proposed allocation of the Purchase
Price among the Interests and Indirect Interests (an
“Allocation”) shall be set forth on a
schedule to be prepared by NewCo and delivered to ResCap within 90 days following the Closing Date.
ResCap shall have a period of thirty 30 days after receipt of the proposed Allocation (the
“Review Period”) to review it. If ResCap does not object to the proposed Allocation in
writing during the Review Period, the Allocation prepared by NewCo shall be the final Allocation
for the Purchase Price. If ResCap provides written notice to NewCo within the Review Period that
ResCap disputes the proposed Allocation, NewCo and ResCap shall attempt to reach a mutually
acceptable agreement regarding the appropriate Allocation during the thirty-day 30-day period
beginning on the date that NewCo receives the notice from ResCap (the
“Negotiation
Period”). If NewCo and ResCap are able to reach a mutually acceptable agreement within the
Negotiation Period, such agreement shall be the final Allocation of the Purchase Price. NewCo and
Seller, or their respective Affiliates as applicable, shall file all Tax Returns for which they are
responsible consistent with the final Allocation and shall take no position before any taxing
authority inconsistent with such Allocation except (x) to the extent agreed to in writing by NewCo

cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and assist and

cooperate with the other Parties to this Agreement in doing, all things necessary or desirable
under applicable Law to consummate, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.



     Section 4.2 The Separation.



          (a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Seller shall retain all right, title and interest (legal or beneficial) to (including
tax ownership in respect of) the Excluded Assets and Retained Liabilities from and after the
Closing. In furtherance of the previous sentence, (i) ResCap and its controlled Affiliates shall
use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Specified Excluded Assets to be
transferred from the Subsidiaries to Seller or one or more controlled Affiliates of ResCap (other
than any Subsidiary) as promptly as practicable after the Closing, (ii) each Party hereto shall,
and shall cause its Affiliates, promptly to execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances
or documents or instruments of transfer reasonably requested by the other Party hereto and
necessary to effect such retention of the Excluded Assets by Seller and (iii) to the extent any
Excluded Assets are held by any Subsidiary after the Closing, then NewCo shall cause such
Subsidiary to transfer such Excluded Assets to Seller or, at ResCap’s direction, one or more
controlled Affiliates of ResCap (other than any Subsidiary). ResCap shall bear all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel)
incurred by NewCo or any Subsidiary in connection therewith. From and after the Closing, ResCap
shall indemnify and defend NewCo, its Affiliates (including the Subsidiaries), managing member,

Party”) from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, damages, losses,
deficiencies, liabilities, penalties, fines, interest, costs, damages, judgments, amounts paid in
settlement and expenses (including, without limitation, the cost and expenses of any litigations,
actions, judgments and settlements related thereto, and the reasonable costs and expenses of
attorneys and accountants incurred in the investigation or defense thereof or the enforcement of
rights hereunder) (collectively, “Losses”) related to the Excluded Assets or the Retained
Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that,
in addition to the indemnification provided to the NewCo Indemnified Parties hereunder, but without
duplication of recovery, the Company shall have the rights specified in Section 4.2(a) of the

proceeds or other payments with respect to any of the Excluded Assets, NewCo shall, or shall cause
the applicable Subsidiary to, (i) accept and hold such proceeds or payments in trust for the
account and sole benefit of Seller and have no equitable or beneficial interest in any such
proceeds or payments and (ii) deliver such proceeds and payments (free of any withholding, setoff,
recoupment or deduction of any kind except as required by applicable Law) promptly (but in any
event no later than three Business Days after the date on which such Person receives such proceeds
or payment) to Seller, when necessary or appropriate, with NewCo’s or a Subsidiary’s endorsement,
as applicable, (without recourse, representation or warranty).

Subsidiary to ResCap or a controlled Affiliate of ResCap (other than the Subsidiaries) and (ii) the

-13-









 







Excluded Employees (the “Employee Separation”). The Employee Separation will be
deemed effective for legal, accounting and other computational purposes as of 11:59 p.m. (New York
City Time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date. From and after the effective
time of the Employee Separation, none of the Subsidiaries shall have any responsibility for, and

Losses related to all current or former employees (including the Excluded Employees), and, to the
extent a Retained Liability, contractors or consultants of a Subsidiary.

(other than any Subsidiary) to, provide NewCo and the Subsidiaries with the services identified on
the Servicing Agreement Term Sheet until the expiration of the applicable term set forth thereon,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein. NewCo shall, or shall cause one of its
Subsidiaries to, timely pay all costs required to be paid thereunder for such services. The terms
and conditions set forth in the Servicing Agreement Term Sheet shall be deemed to be operative
covenants under this Agreement. As promptly as practicable after the Closing, the Parties shall
negotiate in good faith and enter into a definitive servicing agreement in form and substance to be
mutually agreed upon and consistent with the Servicing Agreement Term Sheet.



          (e) Prior to Closing, ResCap shall, or shall cause one of its controlled Affiliates to,

          (f) To the extent that, during the period from the Cut-Off Date to the Closing, there has
been any, direct or indirect, sale, transfer, conveyance of other disposition of any assets of a
Subsidiary that would have constituted Transferred Assets had such assets been owned by such
Subsidiary as of the Closing Date, then, (i) prior to the Closing, ResCap shall promptly notify
NewCo of such action or proposed action and (ii) NewCo shall have the right to receive at Closing
from ResCap the proceeds from the sale of such asset.



          (g) From and after the Closing, NewCo shall indemnify and defend ResCap, its Affiliates,
managing member, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “ResCap
Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of the ownership of the
Interests, Indirect Interests or any of the Transferred Assets after the Closing, except to the
extent such Losses arise out of the Excluded Assets or constitute Retained Liabilities.

hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, promptly to execute, acknowledge and deliver any
other assurances or documents or instruments of transfer reasonably requested by the other Party
hereto and necessary for the requesting Party to satisfy obligations hereunder or to obtain the



-14-









 







benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to the extent that NewCo discovers following Closing that any asset that was intended to
be transferred pursuant this Agreement was not transferred at Closing, ResCap shall or shall cause
its Affiliates promptly to assign and transfer to NewCo all right, title and interest in such
asset. As soon as practicable after Closing (but in any event by no later than 30 days
thereafter), ResCap shall deliver to NewCo a schedule (i) identifying the Transferred Assets owned
by each Subsidiary as of the Closing Date and (ii) such other information concerning the
Transferred Assets as reasonably requested by NewCo.

          (a) Seller shall be liable for and Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, any and all Taxes
applicable to the Interests, Indirect Interests or Transferred Assets attributable to periods (or
portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date. NewCo shall be liable for and shall pay
all Taxes applicable to the Interests, Indirect Interests or Transferred Assets attributable to
periods (or portions thereof) beginning on the day after the Closing Date.



          (b) Seller or NewCo, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse any Tax paid by the other
party all or a portion of which Tax is the responsibility of Seller or NewCo in accordance with the
terms of this Section 4.4. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any such Tax, the
party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other party of the Tax payable and the portion that
is the liability of each party, although failure to do so shall not relieve the other party from
its liability hereunder except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by such delay.



          (c) After the Closing, Seller and NewCo shall, as reasonably requested by the other, (i)
assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns relating to the Interests, Indirect Interests
or Transferred Assets which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing; (ii)
cooperate fully in preparing for any audit of, or dispute with taxing authorities regarding, and
any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to, liability for Taxes, in the preparation or
conduct of litigation or investigation of claims, and in connection with the preparation of
financial statements or other documents to be filed with any taxing authority, in each case with
respect to the Interests, Indirect Interests or Transferred Assets; (iii) make available to the
other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents
relating to Taxes relating to the Interests, Indirect Interests or Transferred Assets; (iv) provide
timely notice to the other party in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments
relating to the Interests, Indirect Interests or Transferred Assets for taxable periods for which
the other party is responsible under this Section 4.4; and (v) furnish the other party with copies
of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any taxable audit or
information request with respect to any Tax periods for which the other is responsible under this
Section 4.4. Until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will, to the extent
necessary in connection with any Taxes (including the tax basis of any acquired asset) or other
matters relating to the Interests, Indirect Interests or Transferred Assets for any period ending
at or prior to the Closing, and without charge to NewCo, retain all original books, records and
other documents and all electronically archived data not deliverable to NewCo at Closing related to
the Interests, Indirect Interests or Transferred Assets. Any information obtained pursuant to this
Section 4.4 or pursuant to any other Section hereof providing for the sharing of information or



-15-









 







review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes shall be kept confidential by the
Parties, except to the extent such information is required to be disclosed by Law, regulation or
judicial order.



          (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.4 or otherwise in this Agreement to the
contrary, Seller shall pay, on a timely basis, all applicable transfer, sales, use, recording,
registration and other similar Taxes (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”) arising out of
(i) the sale of the Interests to NewCo or (ii) the transfer of the Excluded Assets from any
Subsidiary to ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates. Seller shall prepare and file, and NewCo

the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior

Letter”) between ResCap and the Investors (as defined in the Commitment Letter) shall remain

Letter, this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the
fees and expenses of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP incurred by such Investors in connection therewith,
which shall be borne by such Investors) shall remain in full force and effect.



     Section 7.5 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any Party to any other
Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an
Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such
Party.



     Section 7.6 Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, in the
Commitment Letter or in any other Transaction Document, all costs and expenses, including fees and
disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the Party incurring
such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.



     Section 7.7 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum; Waiver of Trial
by Jury. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. Any action or proceeding in
respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contained in
or contemplated hereby against any Party hereto shall be brought in the Chancery Court of the State
of Delaware, any other state court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for
the District of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection with claims
arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, each
party: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any
objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any
objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any
Party hereto and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or
proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Agreement.
Each Party hereto irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.



     Section 7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. Executed signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile and such
facsimiles will be deemed as sufficient as if actual signature pages had been delivered.



     Section 7.9 Headings. The heading references herein and the table of contents hereof
are for convenience purposes only, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.



     Section 7.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable
and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable



-20-









 







and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be
valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b)
the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or
circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such
invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the
application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.



     Section 7.11 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The
representations and warranties set forth in Article III of this Agreement shall survive the Closing
until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties
set forth in Sections 3.1(a) through 3.1(e)(i), 3.1(g), and 3.2(a) through 3.2(e) shall survive the
Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The covenants in this
Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely.



     Section 7.12 Commitment Regarding Actions of Controlled Affiliates. With respect to
any covenant requiring any controlled Party or controlled Affiliate of a Party to take an action or
omit to take an action, such Party shall cause such controlled Affiliate to comply with such
covenant. Any failure by any Party’s controlled Affiliates to do so shall also constitute a breach
of such covenant by such Party.



     Section 7.13 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that money damages would
be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such party and
that any such breach would cause the other Party hereto irreparable harm. Accordingly, each Party
hereto also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this
Agreement by such Party, the other Party hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief without the
requirement of posting a bond or other security, including in the form of injunctions and orders
for specific performance.

EXHIBIT D




Servicing Agreement Term Sheet




Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them
in the Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2008, among Residential Capital, LLC
(“ResCap”), GMAC Model Home Finance I, LLC (“Seller”) and CMH Holdings LLC
(“NewCo”) (the “Purchase Agreement”). The terms and conditions set forth in this
Servicing Agreement Term Sheet (this “Term Sheet”) shall be deemed to be operative covenants under
the Purchase Agreement.



	 	 	 
	Parties:

	 	ResCap, on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates, and NewCo, on
behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries.
	 
	 	 
	Services:

	 	ResCap agrees to provide, or cause its controlled Affiliates to provide,
to NewCo and the Subsidiaries, the Services (as described below). ResCap
shall, or shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, provide the Services
with the same degree of care, skill, and diligence and in substantially
the same manner as such services are currently obtained by the
Subsidiaries (from the Excluded Employees, ResCap or its controlled
Affiliates or by virtue of third party services made available by ResCap
or its controlled Affiliates) as of the Closing Date. The Parties agree
that ResCap may use third parties to satisfy ResCap’s obligation to
provide any such Services so long as such third parties (or similar
third parties) currently provide such Services (directly or indirectly)
to the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. ResCap shall provide NewCo
advance written notice of any significant change in the manner in which
the Services are provided, including any change in the employees or
third parties providing such Services.


The Services shall include all services currently obtained by the
Subsidiaries (from the Excluded Employees, ResCap or its controlled
Affiliates or by virtue of third party services made available by ResCap
or its controlled Affiliates) that are necessary or advisable, in the
reasonable judgment of NewCo, to conduct NewCo’s business (including the
ownership, operation, maintenance, sale and disposition of the
Transferred Assets as contemplated by the LLC Agreement), including,
without limitation:
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	    •   
Employees, including support of asset managers from ResCap’s
Special Assets Group and internal ResCap legal counsel;

	 
	 

	 	    •    
Third party professional service providers, including legal;

	 
	 

	 	    •    
Cash management services;

	 
	 

	 	    •    
IT services;

	 
	 

	 	    •    
Accounting services;

	 
	 

	 	    •    
Insurance;







-23-









 






	 	 	 
	 

	 	    •   
Use of the Richmond, Virginia headquarters facility, and any
other location or facility providing services relating to the
Transferred Assets as of the Closing Date;

	 
	 

	 	    •   
Use of the names of the Subsidiaries (including GMAC) and any
derivatives thereof to the extent necessary or advisable to conduct
NewCo’s business; and

	 
	 

	 	    •    
Such other Services as may be necessary or incidental to the
operations of NewCo and the Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
business relating to the Transferred Assets.

	 
	 	 
	Costs:

	 	In consideration for each Service, NewCo shall reimburse ResCap on a
dollar-for-dollar basis for the actual, reasonably documented
out-of-pocket costs (if any) incurred by ResCap and its controlled
Affiliates to provide such Service (each such out-of-pocket cost, taking
into account the subsequent proviso, the “Applicable Service Cost”),
provided that (i) no premium, corporate overhead allocation or other
internal costs shall be charged or applied, (ii) ResCap shall solely
bear all direct and indirect compensation (including fringe benefits of
any sort) for the employees of ResCap and any of its controlled
Affiliates (including the Excluded Employees) in respect of the
Services, and shall be responsible for workers’ compensation insurance,
unemployment insurance, employment taxes, and all other employer
liabilities relating to such persons and such costs shall not be charged
or applied to NewCo, (iii) to the extent any third parties (including
advisors, contractors or other agents) are engaged by ResCap or any of
its controlled Affiliates to perform any Services that, in the ordinary
course of business, have been performed by employees of ResCap or any of
its controlled Affiliates for the benefit of the Subsidiaries, then,
with respect to such service providers, ResCap shall solely bear all
out-of-pocket costs incurred in respect of the use of such third parties
to satisfy any such Services and such costs shall not be charged or
applied to NewCo, and (iv) ResCap shall, at its sole expense (and
without subsequent charge to NewCo), obtain all consents, approvals,
licenses and authorizations, necessary or advisable for ResCap and its
controlled Affiliates to provide such Service. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall the Applicable Service Cost for any Service
for any month be greater than the average monthly actual cost incurred
by the Subsidiaries for such Service during the five-month period ended
May 31, 2008.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	During the applicable term of each Service, ResCap shall invoice NewCo
for the Applicable Service Cost promptly after the end of each calendar
month during such term. ResCap shall include with each invoice a
reasonably detailed description of the Services performed, the costs
charged, and such other details as may be necessary to support the
invoice. All undisputed invoices shall be paid by NewCo (or the
Subsidiaries) to ResCap by wire transfer of immediately available funds






-24-









 






	 	 	 
	 

	 	not later than sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by NewCo of
ResCap’s invoice, in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by
ResCap to NewCo.
	 
	 	 
	Term:

	 	Each Service shall be provided until the earlier to occur of (i) the
date on which NewCo notifies ResCap in writing to terminate such
Service, provided that NewCo provides ResCap with at least 30 days’
prior written notice of such termination, and (ii) the dissolution of
NewCo.
	 
	 	 
	Indemnification:

	 	ResCap shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless NewCo and its
Affiliates from and against all Losses arising out of (i) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of ResCap or any of its controlled
Affiliates in the performance of its obligations under the Servicing
Agreement, or (ii) any claim that any of the Services violates or
infringes on any intellectual property rights of any third party.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	NewCo shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ResCap and its
controlled Affiliates from and against all Losses arising out of any
third party claims in connection with or arising from the performance of
the obligations of ResCap and its controlled Affiliates under the
Servicing Agreement, except to the extent such Losses arise out of (i)
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of ResCap or any of its
controlled Affiliates in the performance of its obligations under the
Servicing Agreement, or (ii) any claim that any of the Services violates
or infringes on any intellectual property rights of any third party.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Neither ResCap nor NewCo shall be required to indemnify the other or the
other’s Affiliates for exemplary, punitive, treble, special, indirect,
consequential, remote or speculative damages, lost profits or internal
costs, provided, that, if any indemnified party is held liable pursuant
to a third-party claim for any of such damages and the indemnifying
party is obligated to indemnify such indemnified party under the
indemnity above, then the indemnifying party shall be liable for and
obligated to reimburse the indemnified party for such damages.
	 
	 	 
	Relationship of the
Parties:

	 	ResCap and its controlled Affiliates, in the performance of the
Services, shall be acting as independent contractors to NewCo and the
Subsidiaries, and not as partners, joint venturers or agents of NewCo.
Neither ResCap nor NewCo intend to create by the Servicing Agreement an
employer-employee relationship. Each of ResCap and its controlled
Affiliates, on the one hand, and NewCo and the Subsidiaries, on the
other hand, shall retain control over their respective personnel, and
their respective employees shall not be considered employees of the
other. Neither ResCap nor any of its controlled Affiliates, on the one
hand, nor NewCo or any of the Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall
have any right, power or authority to create any obligation, express or
implied, on






-25-









 






	 	 	 
	 

	 	behalf of the other pursuant to this Term Sheet.
	 
	 	 
	Records and
Inspection:

	 	During the term of the Servicing Agreement, ResCap shall maintain
complete and accurate records of the Services provided, costs invoiced
to NewCo, payments made thereunder and all costs incurred that are
intended to constitute “Class B Junior Preferred Member Reimbursable
Costs” under the LLC Agreement. All such records shall be available for
inspection by NewCo or its representative. Upon any termination or
expiration of any Service or of the Servicing Agreement, ResCap shall
cooperate, and cause its controlled Affiliates to cooperate, with all
reasonable requests by NewCo in connection with the transition of the
Services, including the transfer and retention of records and data
pertaining to the Services or the Subsidiaries to NewCo or its designees
(in a mutually agreed industry standard electronic format).
	 
	 	 
	Cooperation:

	 	ResCap shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates, employees,
agents, representatives and subcontractors to, cooperate fully with
NewCo, the Subsidiaries and their respective employees, agents and
representatives to facilitate, in all respects, the provision of
Services to NewCo and the Subsidiaries. NewCo shall, and shall cause
the Subsidiaries and their respective employees, agents, representatives
and subcontractors to, cooperate fully with ResCap, its controlled
Affiliates and their respective employees, agents and representatives to
facilitate, in all respects, the provision of Services to NewCo and the
Subsidiaries.
	 
	 	 
	Steering Committee:

	 	On the Closing Date, ResCap and NewCo shall form a steering committee
(the “Steering Committee”), which shall consist of two individuals, one
of whom shall be nominated by ResCap and one of whom shall be nominated
by NewCo. The initial member of the Steering Committee nominated by
ResCap shall be a person to be identified by ResCap prior to the Closing
(the “ResCap Nominee”), and the initial member of the Steering Committee
nominated by NewCo shall be a person to be identified by NewCo prior to
the Closing (the “NewCo Nominee”, and collectively with the ResCap
Nominee, the “Steering Committee Members”). To the fullest extent
practicable, ResCap shall keep the Steering Committee reasonably
informed on all proposed changes to the provision of Services and
consult with the Steering Committee prior to taking any action that
would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, in any material
respect, the provision of Services hereunder.
	 
	 	 
	Disputes:

	 	In the event that NewCo has a good faith dispute with regard to any
costs invoiced by ResCap, NewCo shall provide ResCap with written notice
of such dispute, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of such
dispute, at or prior to the time payment is due, and NewCo may withhold
payment of any disputed amounts pending resolution of the dispute.
NewCo’s failure to pay amounts disputed in accordance with the






-26-









 






	 	 	 
	 

	 	preceding
sentence shall not be grounds for a claim of breach or suspension of the
provision of Services by ResCap or its controlled Affiliates.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Any controversy or dispute arising out of the Servicing Agreement (each,
a “Dispute”) shall be submitted to the Steering Committee.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	If the Steering Committee fails to reach unanimous agreement on the
resolution of such Dispute within 20 Business Days, then either ResCap
or NewCo may seek remedies under New York law, and in connection
therewith, such Dispute shall be brought in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court
sitting in New York City (the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection
with such claims arising under the Servicing Agreement each Party (i)
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts,
(ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or
proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the
Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over
any Party hereto and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such Party
in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given
in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement. Each Party
hereto irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any
legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the Servicing Agreement.
	 
	 	 
	Confidential 

Information:

	 	The Servicing Agreement shall include a customary covenant regarding the
confidential use and non-disclosure of non-public information concerning
NewCo or any of its Affiliates or the Transferred Assets.
