For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Owner/Servicer shall continue to own the Servicing Rights following the related Transfer Date. 
(b)    With respect to non-Prior Ocwen Serviced Loans, the Subservicer shall cooperate with the Owner/Servicer in connection with obtaining any necessary consents or approvals required for the Subservicer to act as subservicer under the applicable Servicing Agreements, including responding to requests for information regarding the Subservicer by or on behalf of the related Investor and other third parties.
(c)    [Reserved]
(d)    Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge that one or more portfolios of Mortgage Loans that become subject to this Agreement are or may be serviced or subserviced by the Subservicer immediately preceding the Transfer Date (each, a “Prior Ocwen Serviced Loan”) and that no physical transfer of servicing shall be required with respect to such Prior Ocwen Serviced Loan except as may be necessary to reflect the Owner/Servicer’s ownership of the Servicing Rights and any related requirements under Applicable Requirements.  For such Prior Ocwen Serviced Loans, the parties’ respective obligations and liabilities with respect to the Prior Ocwen Serviced Loans relating to matters occurring during the period of time prior to the applicable Transfer Date shall be as set forth in the Transfer Agreement. 
(e)    Upon the Owner/Servicer’s request, the Subservicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Owner/Servicer and any backup servicer designated by the Owner/Servicer, including, but not limited to, working and coordinating with such backup servicer’s personnel to provide applicable mapping system fields, data checks, conversion routines and such other assistance to enable such backup servicer to receive readable data from the Subservicer on a periodic basis. On a monthly basis, at no additional charge (unless requested more frequently than monthly), Subservicer shall provide to Owner/Servicer and to any backup servicer designated by the Owner/Servicer the information, in readable form, set forth in Schedule 2.1(e) with respect to the Mortgage Loans subserviced hereunder.

The Subservicer’s obligation to provide any information to a back-up servicer shall only arise following the backup servicer and Subservicer entering into a customary, mutually agreeable non-disclosure agreement which will limit such back-up servicer’s use of information provided by or on behalf of Subservicer to the purpose of providing such back-up services.
(f)    The Subservicer shall provide portfolio defense services relating to the Mortgage Loans as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, as may be amended from time to time upon mutual agreement of the parties pursuant to Section 2.3. 
(g)    For any New Mortgage Loans, the Subservicer shall subservice each such New Mortgage Loan pursuant to a mutually agreeable subservicing agreement substantially similar to this Agreement in form and substance (other than the subservicing fee arrangements which shall be modified to reflect a market standard subservicing fee for agency mortgage servicing rights) and the Subservicer shall be obligated therein to indemnify and hold the Owner/Servicer harmless for any and all actions, errors or omissions in the servicing, solicitation and/or origination of any New Mortgage Loan and/or compliance with the applicable Governmental Entity Guidelines or Agency Guidelines by the Subservicer with respect to such New Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, Agency-related Compensatory Fees and unrecovered servicing advances and principal and interest advances related thereto. 
(h)    Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the Servicing Rights for which Owner/Servicer is acting as Master Servicer, the Subservicer shall not have the obligations specifically excluded under the addendum set forth in Exhibit R (the “Master Servicing Addendum”) attached hereto; provided that such exclusions shall only apply to the Subservicer's performance of the Master Servicer's obligations of the Subservicer and not to any primary or subservicing obligations relating to the same Mortgage Loans with respect to the Subservicer acting as SBO Servicer.

Section 2.2.    Subservicer to Service in Compliance with Applicable Requirements.
(a)    The Subservicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer each Mortgage Loan and REO Property in compliance with all Applicable Requirements and, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Subservicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Subservicer may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Owner/Servicer shall not itself attempt to perform the duties and activities of the Subservicer hereunder, and Owner/Servicer shall refer to Subservicer any Mortgagor 


-21-




inquiries or correspondence, payments or payoff funds, or similar matters within the Subservicer’s responsibilities hereunder that Owner/Servicer may receive; provided that Subservicer and Owner/Servicer have had prior discussion related to such failure to perform and so long as Owner/Servicer has given Subservicer one (1) Business Day prior written notice of its intent to so perform, the Owner/Servicer may perform any non-borrower facing activity required under a Servicing Agreement that the Subservicer fails to perform in accordance with such applicable Servicing Agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in a material Loss to Owner/Servicer, including but not limited to an event of default or other termination event under the applicable Servicing Agreement.  Where Applicable Requirements appear to be in conflict, the Subservicer shall notify the Owner/Servicer of such conflict, and the parties shall address such conflict in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(c). Until the principal and interest of each Mortgage Loan is paid in full, unless this Agreement is sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, and subject to this Section 2.2(a), the Subservicer shall:  
(i)    Collect, accept and apply payments of Custodial Funds and Escrow Payments only in accordance with the Mortgage Loan and Applicable Requirements.

The Subservicer shall be responsible for any liabilities under the applicable Servicing Agreement resulting from the failure to properly and timely make interest rate adjustments on the related Mortgage Loans; 
(iv)    Pay interest on Escrow Accounts if any Applicable Requirement requires the payment of interest on such amounts.  Such interest amounts paid by the Subservicer shall be reimbursed by the Owner/Servicer and included as part of the Subservicer Economics payable to the Subservicer.  As applicable, the

Subservicer will determine the amount of Escrow Payments to be made by Mortgagors and will furnish to each Mortgagor, at least once a year, an analysis of each Mortgagor’s Escrow Account in accordance with Applicable Requirements;
(v)    Maintain accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, ground rents, and other recurring similar charges generally accepted by the mortgage servicing industry, which would become a lien on the Mortgaged Property. For all Mortgage Loans providing for the payment to and collection by the Subservicer of Escrow Payments for taxes, ground rents, or such other recurring charges, the Subservicer shall remit payments for such charges before any penalty date.  The Subservicer assumes responsibility for the timely remittance of all such payments and will hold harmless and indemnify the Owner/Servicer and the applicable Investor from any and all Losses resulting from the Subservicer’s failure to discharge said responsibility subsequent to the Transfer Date of the particular Mortgage Loan by the Subservicer.  The Subservicer shall promptly notify the Owner/Servicer if it becomes aware of any missing or erroneous information with respect to the Mortgage Loans that is preventing or impeding the Subservicer from timely meeting tax or other payments obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans or from otherwise meeting the Subservicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(vi)    For all Mortgage Loans for which no provision has been made for the payment to and collection by the Subservicer of Escrow Payments, the Subservicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien and otherwise satisfies Applicable Requirements.  The Subservicer shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments and shall seek reimbursement of such Servicing Advances on the Owner/Servicer’s behalf from the Mortgagor, Insurer or Investor in accordance with the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents or otherwise as permitted by Applicable Requirements.  The Owner/Servicer shall reimburse the Subservicer for such Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 2.13 hereof;
(vii)    When a Mortgagor’s Escrow Payments are insufficient to pay taxes, assessments, mortgage insurance premiums, hazard or flood insurance premiums, or other items due therefrom, pay such amounts as a Servicing Advance and seek reimbursement from the Mortgagor or Investor. The Owner/Servicer shall reimburse the Subservicer for all outstanding deficiencies, and any other Servicing Advances made by the Subservicer to protect the security of the Investor, in accordance with Section 2.13 hereof;

The Subservicer shall only release Mortgage Servicing Files and Mortgage Loan Documents in its possession pursuant to this Agreement and Applicable Requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in connection with an examination or any request by any Investor or Governmental Authority, the Subservicer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to release any requested Mortgage Servicing Files and/or Mortgage Loan Documents in its possession pursuant to this Agreement and Applicable Requirements and shall deliver any such documents within the time frame set forth by such Investor or Governmental Authority.  Any documents or files that are released by the Subservicer shall be properly tracked and pursued to the extent such documents or files are not returned to the Subservicer or to the Custodian.  The Subservicer shall provide the Owner/Servicer with information related to documents or files that have been released by the Subservicer promptly upon request.  The Subservicer shall cooperate in good faith with the Owner/Servicer in connection with clearing any document exceptions with respect to such releases, consistent with Applicable Requirements. 
(b)    With respect to Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Owner/Servicer is the sole Investor, the Subservicer shall service such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement with respect to which such Mortgage Loans were previously serviced; provided, however, that (i) the Subservicer shall, on each Business Day remit to the Owner/Servicer all collections received by the Subservicer two (2) Business Days prior to such Business Day, on an “actual/actual” basis, (ii) the parties may agree in writing to provide for servicing provisions different from the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, pursuant to the process set forth in Section 2.3.

(b)    Except with respect to non-significant changes as mutually agreed upon by the parties, if, following the date of this Agreement, Owner/Servicer shall propose to modify (i) the Servicing Procedures ("SP Modifications"), the Advance Policy (“AP Modifications”), (ii) reports, or (iii) otherwise alter, amend or supplement the servicing activities or if Owner/Servicer becomes subject to such judicial or administrative judgment, order, stipulation, directive, consent decree, award, writ or injunction after the date of this Agreement that would modify the servicing or Subservicing of the Mortgage Loans hereunder (any such modification being herein referred to as a “Change Request”), the Owner/Servicer shall provide written notice of each such proposed Change Request to the 


-26-




Subservicer by providing (i) a specimen of each procedure proposed to be amended, supplemented or introduced, in the form in which it is proposed to be amended, supplemented or introduced; and/or (ii) a written description of each proposed amendment, supplement or other alteration to the Servicing Procedures, which description shall in each case be sufficiently clear, comprehensive and detailed to provide a reasonable basis for the Subservicer to adequately assess the Change Request.
(c)    [***]
(d)    To the extent such Change Requests or Subservicer’s compliance with Section 2.1(e), would result in the Subservicer incurring any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses or internally allocated costs or expenses, which collectively are in excess of $[***] in connection with the implementation of such changes, the Subservicer shall provide the Owner/Servicer with a good faith estimate regarding the costs and expenses needed to implement the contemplated work on the Owner/Servicer’s behalf and reasonable supporting documentation. If such work will involve third party costs or expenses, the Subservicer shall follow Owner/Servicer’s reasonable instructions regarding the retention of such third party providers, including the terms of such retention, related requests for proposals, seeking fixed prices or caps or similar arrangements and establishing time commitments from such third parties. Any such estimate shall also include the anticipated time frame for implementation of such work.  Such estimate shall also include the ongoing incremental expense of performing the work in a modified manner as described in the Change Request. If the Owner/Servicer consents to the Subservicer performing such work on its behalf, the parties will enter into a mutually acceptable agreement for implementation of such work (such agreement, a “Statement of Work”), which shall be performed by the Subservicer on a commercially-reasonable, best-efforts basis.  Upon the due execution by both parties, the Statement of Work shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement without further action on the part of either party.  The Subservicer shall perform the services set forth in the Statement of Work in the manner provided therein, and the Owner/Servicer shall pay for any agreed upon cost, if any, of the implementation and any additional services resulting therefrom, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Statement of Work and this Agreement in accordance with the process set forth in Section 2.3(d) of this Agreement.

Subject to Owner/Servicer’s approval of the terms of retention of the applicable third parties in accordance with this Section 2.3(d), if the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses are greater than the estimated amount, the Owner/Servicer shall reimburse the Subservicer for all such amounts.  Subservicer shall regularly communicate with Owner/Servicer regarding the status of performance of any Statement of Work hereunder, including with respect to any actual or expected delays or cost overruns. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties understand and agree that a Statement of Work shall not be required to implement (i) the services already enumerated or contemplated under this Agreement (other than the services contemplated by this Section 2.3 or any other services or activities in this Agreement that are expressly subject to the Statement of Work process set forth in this Section 2.3) or 


-27-




(ii) other services or projects previously commenced by the Subservicer on behalf of the Owner/Servicer. 
(e)    If any legal, regulatory or governmental policy enactment, amendment, reform or similar matter or matters applicable to non-bank servicers generally, individually or in the aggregate, have or are reasonably expected to have, caused an increase or decrease in the Subservicer’s cost to service the Mortgage Loans by more than [***], then the Subservicer or the Owner/Servicer, respectively, may give written notice (“Change Notice”) to the other party of such changed matter or matters. In the event of such Change Notice, the parties agree to review and discuss in good faith the Subservicer Economics and any other fees paid by Owner/Servicer, the performance standards and/or the services to be performed under this Agreement in order to reflect such change in Subservicer’s cost to deliver the services under this Agreement in compliance with, or to otherwise address any effect on the economics of the transaction from, any such event or occurrence described above.
(f)    Approval Process.  Any Approved Party, Substitute Vendor [***] shall be subjected to Subservicer’s usual and customary vendor onboarding  process (consistent with its practices prior to the Effective Date or improvements that Subservicer makes to such process on a platform-wide basis).  Following such onboarding process, if Subservicer identifies that such Person has material deficiencies or would be reasonably likely to violate Applicable Requirements, in each case consistent with Subervicer’s practices prior to the Effective Date or improvements that Subservicer makes to such process on a platform-wide basis, Subservicer shall notify Owner/Servicer in writing and shall provide the basis for determining that such Person has material deficiencies and/or would be reasonably likely to violate Applicable Requirements.  [***]
(g)    In addition to the Owner/Servicer’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.3, the Owner/Servicer shall indemnify and hold the Subservicer harmless against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of [***].  For purposes of this Section 2.3(g), a "Directed Provider" shall be any Approved Party, Substitute Vendor [***] proposed by the Owner/Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and onboarded in accordance with and subject to Section 2.3(f).  For the avoidance of doubt, Subservicer’s interaction and/or cooperation with any Directed Provider shall not constitute an endorsement, evaluation or view of or by the Subservicer as to whether any agreement between Owner/Servicer and any Directed Provider complies with Applicable Requirements.

(g)    The Subservicer shall conduct periodic reviews of the Vendors, Off-shore Vendors and Default Firms that the Subservicer engages to perform under this Agreement in accordance with its third-party management policy and Vendor Oversight Guidance to confirm compliance, timeliness and completeness with respect to the terms of this Agreement and Applicable Requirements and that the Vendors, Off-shore Vendors and Default Firms are not subject to litigation or other enforcement actions that could have a material effect on such Vendor’s, Off-shore Vendor’s and/or Default Firm’s financial viability or reputation. At the timing set forth in Exhibit E-1, the Subservicer shall provide to the Owner/Servicer the results of all periodic reviews concluded by or on behalf of the Subservicer during the prior three (3) month period for any Critical Vendor in a manner consistent with Exhibit Q, which shall be in the form of performance scorecards, risk rating and risk-tier assignment system, in each case, in a format reasonably acceptable to the Owner/Servicer.

-50-




To the extent any Servicing Agreement does not have provisions or otherwise contemplate the prioritization for recovery of Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees and/or P&I Advances, the Subservicer shall calculate any loss at liquidation associated with nonrecoverable advances in a manner that minimizes such loss to the Owner/Servicer (i.e., utilizing loan-level proceeds to reduce items which do not benefit from a general collections backstop before items which may be reimbursed on a pool-level basis). 
The Subservicer shall cooperate in good faith with the Owner/Servicer to pursue full reimbursement of outstanding P&I Advances, Owner/Servicer Expense and Servicing Advances and shall indicate in the monthly reporting if it determines the recoverability of any such P&I Advances or Servicing Advances is at risk.

The Owner/Servicer and the Subservicer shall consider whether such additional MSRPA obligations or loan-level characteristics require revision to the Performance Triggers and shall reflect any agreed upon adjustments in the related Acknowledgment Agreement or other documentation acceptable to the parties.

The Subservicer will comply with the BCP during the term of this Agreement.  The Subservicer shall notify the Owner/Servicer promptly of any material modifications to the BCP.
The Subservicer shall provide disaster recovery and backup capabilities and facilities through which it will be able to perform its obligations under this Agreement with minimal disruptions or delays.

The BCP shall include appropriate provisions to ensure the continued availability of critical third-party services and to ensure an orderly transition to new service providers should that become necessary.

In the event the Owner/Servicer requests that the Subservicer provide the annual privacy notice on the Owner/Servicer’s behalf, the Owner/Servicer shall provide the Subservicer with its form notice (and related correspondence for privacy notices) to be furnished to each Mortgagor and reimburse Subservicer for the incremental out-of-pocket printing and mailing expense, provided that Subservicer shall provide Owner/Servicer with a good faith estimate of such expense prior to commencing such mailing.

To the extent (i) the Owner/Servicer does not pay all non-disputed amounts of the Subservicer Economics within the applicable timeframe set forth in the prior sentence or any amounts owed to the Subservicer hereunder within the timeframe set forth herein (or if not set forth, within two (2) Business Days of Subservicer notifying Owner/Servicer of such amounts being owed) and (ii) the Subservicer provided the Owner/Servicer at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice of its intention to net such non-disputed amounts, the Subservicer is entitled net and retain all such non-disputed amounts of the Subservicer Economics from the applicable remittance Subservicer makes to the Owner/Servicer pursuant to Section 2.8(f); provided, further, that the Subservicer may not net or set-off against any portion from the applicable remittance Subservicer makes to the Owner/Servicer pursuant to Section 2.8(f) that have been sold and/or pledged by the Owner/Servicer in connection with a financing or securitization involving such remittance, including, without, limitation any servicing advance facility or servicing rights financing, in each case except as expressly permitted in writing by the applicable transaction agreements or the applicable purchaser, lender or secured party.

The Owner/Servicer shall be entitled to the Float Benefit, which amounts (i) shall be remitted by the Subservicer to the Owner/Servicer as part of the Owner/Servicer Economics pursuant to Section 2.8(f) to the extent the applicable Custodial Account(s) or Escrow Account(s) are not in the name of the Owner/Servicer and (ii) Owner/Servicer shall withdraw directly from the applicable Custodial Account(s) or Escrow Account(s) to the extent the applicable Custodial Account(s) or Escrow Account(s) are in the name of the Owner/Servicer.

ARTICLE V     
TERM AND TERMINATION


-62-





Section 5.1.    Term.
(a)    The initial term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date until the date that is the fifth (5th) year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”).  Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.1 and Section 5.6, the Subservicer shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Initial Term.  If this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated pursuant to this Article V, then the term of this Agreement for the Subservicer shall automatically be renewed for successive one (1) year terms after the expiration of the Initial Term.  The Subservicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by Subservicer or the Owner/Servicer.  If Subservicer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.6, such termination shall be treated as a termination without cause by Owner/Servicer under this Agreement.  If Subservicer resigns, such resignation of the Subservicer shall be treated as a termination for cause by Owner/Servicer under this Agreement.  Any such determination that Subservicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel written by a law firm reasonably acceptable to Owner/Servicer to such effect in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Owner/Servicer.
(b)    During the Initial Term, the Owner/Servicer may terminate this Agreement in whole, but not in part (unless otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement) for convenience, by delivering written notice of such termination to the Subservicer.  Following the Initial Term, the term of this Agreement may be extended by the Owner/Servicer for successive three (3) month renewal periods (which, if extended, shall commence on the expiration date of the then-current term and end on the calendar day that is the three (3) month anniversary of the preceding term’s expiration date (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day immediately following such day)), by delivering written notice of such three month extension (which may be by electronic mail). Such notice shall be delivered at least thirty (30) calendar days preceding such extension (or if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such day), provided that any such extension notice that is delivered prior to the expiration of the then current term shall be effective.  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to any other provision in this Article V, this Agreement shall terminate at the expiration of the then-current term if the Owner/Servicer fails to notify the Subservicer of a three (3) month extension prior to such expiration.  
(c)    The Subservicer may terminate this Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or at the end of any subsequent one year term, in whole but not in part upon written notice to the Owner/Servicer at least two-hundred twenty five (225) days prior to the end of the applicable term.  
(d)    Any Mortgage Loans removed from a Servicing Agreement pursuant to the exercise of an early termination or other reconstitution provision and (i) included in a Securitization Transaction (a “Resecuritized Transaction”) where the applicable Securitization Servicing Agreement or Interim Servicing Agreement is reasonably 


-63-




acceptable to the Subservicer shall be removed from this Agreement and shall be serviced by the Subservicer pursuant to such Securitization Servicing Agreement or Interim Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or (ii) not included in the related Securitization Transaction shall be removed from this Agreement and shall be serviced by the Subservicer under an Interim Servicing Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Termination Fee, deboarding fee or other compensation (other than accrued Subservicer Economics) shall be payable to Subservicer for a termination under this Section 5.1(d). The Subservicer shall use its best efforts to remain in good standing with the Rating Agencies and otherwise comply with the requirements of Rating Agencies.  With respect to any Resecuritized Transaction in which the Subservicer has agreed to execute the applicable Securitization Servicing Agreement but is otherwise not permitted to service in such Resecuritized Transaction solely as a result of the requirement of the related Rating Agency (which is rating such Resecuritized Transaction) (in either case, a "Barred Transaction"), the Owner/Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to consult with the applicable Rating Agencies and reasonably advocate for the Subservicer's participation in such Barred Transaction (and such participation does not have, or result in, any adverse impact or effect on the Owner/Servicer, the related Barred Transaction and/or the securities being issued thereunder).  The Owner/Servicer shall not select any Rating Agency with the sole intention of excluding the Subservicer from participating in a Barred Transaction.  If the Owner/Servicer determines, in the Owner/Servicer's reasonable discretion (as supported by reasonable documentation or analysis provided by the Owner/Servicer to Subservicer in writing), that retaining Subservicer to service loans in a Resecuritized Transaction could have a material adverse impact on the related Resecuritized Transaction and/or the securities being issued thereunder, then the Owner/Servicer shall not be obligated to utilize the Subservicer in such Resecuritized Transaction, in which event the Subservicer shall interim service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer.  If the Owner/Servicer determines, in the Owner/Servicer's reasonable discretion, that retaining Subservicer to service loans in a Resecuritized Transaction does not have a material adverse impact on the related Resecuritized Transaction and/or the securities being issued thereunder and, accordingly, elects not to retain the Subservicer in such Resecuritized Transaction, (i) the Subservicer shall interim service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer and (ii) the Owner/Servicer shall pay the applicable Exit Fee on the date that the related transfer of servicing to the successor servicer is completed.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Owner/Servicer may terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more Mortgage Loans which are not Prior Ocwen Serviced Loans, in which event the Subservicer shall interim service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer; provided that, the Owner/Servicer shall provide the Subservicer with at least forty five (45) days’ written notice prior to such termination and transfer of servicing to a successor servicer.
(e)    This Agreement shall otherwise terminate upon the earliest of (i) the distribution of the final payment on or liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property subject to this Agreement or (ii) as otherwise set forth in this Article V.

INDEPENDENCE OF PARTIES; INDEMNIFICATION SURVIVAL

Section 8.1.    Independence of Parties.

The Subservicer shall have the status of, and act as, an independent contractor.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the Owner/Servicer and the Subservicer.
Subservicer and Owner/Servicer will each promptly notify the other of any communication received in connection with a Servicing Agreement (and promptly deliver a copy of such communication to the other party) (i) from a trustee, master servicer (or other party entitled, or purporting to be entitled, to terminate) that is a solicitation of holders for a vote, or a request for direction regarding termination or (ii) from, or on behalf of, a trustee, master servicer (or other party entitled, or purporting to be entitled, to terminate) stating that such trustee, master servicer or other party has an intention to terminate Owner/Servicer or Subservicer as servicer, subservicer or master servicer under such Servicing Agreement.  The parties will fully cooperate to resolve any such matter to avoid termination.  To the extent Subservicer or the Owner/Servicer is terminated under any Servicing Agreement related to any Mortgage Loan subserviced hereunder and either (x) the basis of such termination is resulting from, arising out of or related to any enumerated items set forth in Section 8.2 (other than as a result of any delinquency or loss triggers with respect to such Servicing Agreement) or (y) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which any optional termination or clean-up call right has been exercised pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement or any Mortgage Loan subject to the Servicing Agreements set forth in Schedule 8.1, such termination was “without cause,” “for convenience” or on a similar basis and the related Servicing Agreement was terminable by the applicable Investor on such basis as of the Servicing Transfer Date, then, in each case, the Subservicer shall remit to the Owner/Servicer the Average Third Party Mark of the affected Servicing Rights within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such Average Third Party Mark (the “Average Third Party Mark Payment”); provided that in the case of any termination described in clause (y) above, the Average Third Party Mark Payment will be reduced by any termination or similar payments received by the Owner/Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in connection with such termination; provided, further, that if any such termination payments exceed the Average Third Party Mark of the affected Servicing Rights, the Owner/Servicer will pay such excess to the Subservicer.

Section 8.2.    Indemnification by the Subservicer.
The Subservicer shall indemnify and hold the Owner/Servicer harmless against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of:  
(a)    the Subservicer’s failure to observe or perform any or all of the Subservicer’s covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation the failure to comply following the applicable Transfer Date with any provisions under any Servicing Agreement relating to the servicing or Subservicing of the related Mortgage Loans;
(b)    the Subservicer’s breach of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement;
(c)    any event of termination described in Section 5.3;


-80-




(d)    the matters set forth on Schedule 4.12.15 to the Transfer Agreement; provided that such Loss is incurred prior to the later of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the two year anniversary of the termination of the Subservicer under this Agreement;
(e)    any Compensatory Fees or other Governmental Entity-imposed fees, penalties or curtailments imposed on the Owner/Servicer related to (a) any Mortgage Loan foreclosures exceeding the applicable Governmental Entity’s required timelines or (b) other servicing acts or omissions relating to the Mortgage Loans, in each case relating to or arising from the Subservicer’s failure to meet a timeline or requirement under the applicable Governmental Entity Guidelines on or after the related Transfer Date, but only to the extent and amount such Compensatory Fee or other fee, penalty or curtailment is attributable to the Subservicer; or
(f)    the matters for which Subservicer is required to indemnify the Owner/Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3; 
provided, however, the Subservicer shall not be obligated to indemnify the Owner/Servicer (i) with respect to any liabilities, Claims, costs or expenses which are covered in Section 8.3 or (ii) to the extent such Loss is due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Owner/Servicer or any of its Affiliates or the Owner/Servicer’s breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.3.    Indemnification by the Owner/Servicer.
Except as otherwise stated herein, the Owner/Servicer shall indemnify and hold the Subservicer harmless against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of:
(a)    the Owner/Servicer’s failure to observe or perform any or all of the Owner/Servicer’s covenants and obligations under this Agreement or breach of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement;
(b)    the matters for which the Owner/Servicer is required to indemnify the Subservicer pursuant to Section 2.3;

(d)    any Claim that is brought against Subservicer after the relevant Transfer Date that relates to the Mortgage Loans and the Servicing Rights, except (i) to the extent Subservicer is otherwise liable therefor under this Agreement, the MSR Purchase Agreement, the Sale Supplements, the Transfer Agreement or any other agreement between the Owner/Servicer and the Subservicer or any Affiliate or (ii) solely with respect to Prior Ocwen Serviced Loans, to the extent such Claim results from or arises out of any matter related to the period prior to the applicable Transfer Date;


-81-




(e)    solely with respect to any Mortgage Loan which is not a Prior Ocwen Serviced Loan, any act or omission by any Person other than Corporate Parent, Subservicer or their respective Affiliates prior to the applicable Transfer Date unless (i) the Subservicer knew or reasonably should have known of such deficiencies or (ii) the Subservicer is curing or correcting such deficiencies; or
(f)    any event of termination described in Section 5.6;
provided, however, the Owner/Servicer shall not be obligated to indemnify the Subservicer (i) with respect to any liabilities, Claims, costs or expenses which are covered in Section 8.2 or (ii) to the extent such Loss is due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Subservicer, Corporate Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or the Subservicer’s breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.4.    Indemnification Procedures.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Sections 8.2 or 8.3 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under Sections 8.2 or 8.3, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Sections 8.2 or 8.3, except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect, or from any liability that it may have, otherwise than under Sections 8.2 or 8.3.  The indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any such claim (provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees, and promptly pay, discharge, and satisfy any judgment or decree that may be entered against it or the indemnified party in respect of such claim.  The indemnifying party shall follow any reasonable written instructions received from the indemnified party in connection with such claim.  The provisions of Sections 8.2 or 8.3 shall survive for five (5) years following termination of this Agreement.  The Subservicer shall provide the Mortgagor Litigation Reports set forth in the related Formatted Servicing Report regarding legal action(s) by individual Mortgagor(s) relating to the Mortgage Loans and against the Subservicer or the Owner/Servicer.  With respect to any third party claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party agrees to reasonably cooperate and cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate in good faith with the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of any such claim.  The indemnifying party shall pay the indemnified party any non-disputed Losses within thirty (30) days of the indemnifying party's receipt of an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting documentation.

Section 8.5.    Mitigation.  
Each party that is eligible for indemnification under Sections 8.2 or 8.3 for reimbursement for costs and expenses under this Agreement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with requirements of Applicable Requirements with respect to mitigation of damages to mitigate such Loss and; provided, however, that the failure to mitigate by either party shall not affect the indemnifying party’s obligation to indemnify the indemnified party except to the extent such failure 


-82-




to mitigate results in any material prejudice to the indemnifying party and then only to the extent of such material prejudice and a violation of requirements of Applicable Requirements with respect to mitigation of damages.  

Section 8.6.    Survival.
The representations, warranties, and indemnifications set forth in Article VII and this Article VIII shall survive for five (5) years following the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.7.    Limitation of Damages.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, WHATSOEVER, IN EACH CASE WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PRINCIPLE, EVEN IF APPRISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH LIMITATION WILL NOT BE APPLICABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH DAMAGES PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS A RESULT OF ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS MADE AGAINST A PARTY THAT IS SUBJECT TO AN INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION PROVIDED FOR UNDER SECTION 8.2 OR 8.3, AS APPLICABLE.  

Section 8.8.    Owner/Servicer’s Direction
The Subservicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind that, prima facie, is executed and submitted by any appropriate Person respecting any matters arising hereunder by or on behalf of Owner/Servicer.

The Recipient shall hold the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, exercising no less care with respect to such Confidential Information than the level of care exercised with respect to the Recipient’s own similar Confidential Information and in no case less than a reasonable standard of care, and shall not copy, reproduce, summarize, quote, sell, assign, license, market, transfer or otherwise dispose of, give or disclose such information to third parties or use such information for any purposes other than the provision of the services to the Disclosing Party without the prior written authorization of the Disclosing Party.

The Recipient shall be liable for any breach of its confidentiality obligations and the confidentiality obligations of its Confidential Representatives.
(c)    The parties shall not, without the other party’s prior written authorization, publicize, disclose, or allow disclosure of any information about the other party, its present or former partners, managing directors, directors, officers, employees, agents or clients, its or their business and financial affairs, personnel matters, operating procedures, organization responsibilities, marketing matters and policies or procedures, with any reporter, author, producer or similar Person or entity, or take any other action seeking to publicize or disclose any such information in any way likely to result in such information being made available to the general public in any form, including books, articles or writings of any other kind, as well as film, videotape, audiotape, or any other medium except as required by Applicable Requirements.
(d)    The obligations under this Section 10.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Subservicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Owner/Servicer, the Affiliates of Owner/Servicer, any third-party originator, servicer and/or other service provider engaged by the Owner/Servicer to provide portfolio defense services, any Rating Agency, any trustee, bond insurers, Owner/Servicer's lender(s), any agents or consultants of Owner/Servicer, any regulator of the Owner/Servicer, any third-party due diligence provider and/or any prospective purchaser(s), in each case, with respect to any proposed Securitization Transactions, any financings contemplated by the Owner/Servicer, and/or any other activity reasonably requested by the Owner/Servicer related to the Mortgage Loans, Servicing Rights, Servicing Advances or P&I Advances.  The Owner/Servicer will pay Subservicer’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs related to such cooperation and, with respect to the servicing advance facilities, consistent with the caps and limitations set forth on Exhibit O attached hereto. 


-89-




The Subservicer covenants and agrees to cooperate fully with its obligations under Section 5.4 of this Agreement and any reasonable written request of Owner/Servicer to protect and preserve the value of the Servicing Rights.

Section 10.14.    Execution of Agreement.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts.  Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement shall be deemed binding when executed by both the Owner/Servicer and the Subservicer.  Telecopy or electronically transmitted signatures shall be deemed valid and binding to the same extent as the original.

Section 10.15.    Publicity.
The Subservicer and the Corporate Parent shall not issue any media releases, public announcements and public disclosures, relating to this Agreement or use the name or logo of the Owner/Servicer, including, without limitation, in promotional or marketing material or on a list of customers, without the prior written consent of the Owner/Servicer; provided, that nothing in this paragraph shall restrict compliance with this Agreement or any disclosure required by legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Section 10.16.    Executory Contract.  
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Subservicer acknowledges and agrees that, in the event it files bankruptcy under 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), this Agreement is an “executory contract” within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, the Subservicer shall have no right to modify on any basis whatsoever (other than in accordance with the terms hereof), including without limitation Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement in any such bankruptcy proceeding and hereby irrevocably waives any such right.  Further, the Subservicer acknowledges and agrees that its services provided under this Agreement are essential and should the Subservicer fail to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Owner/Servicer shall suffer irreparable harm and, consequently, the Owner/Servicer shall have the right to seek on an expedited basis an order from the bankruptcy court: (a) lifting the Section 362 automatic stay so as to permit the Owner/Servicer to terminate this Agreement; and (b) compelling the Subservicer to immediately assume or reject this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.  In the event this Agreement is rejected under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, this Agreement shall be terminated and the Subservicer agrees to immediately comply with its obligations under this Agreement with respect to termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof.  Finally, the Subservicer acknowledges and agrees that Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code has no application to this Agreement and, even if it did, the Subservicer hereby expressly waives any right to surcharge the Owner/Servicer under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 10.17.    Restrictions of Notices; Information and Disclosure.


-90-




Notwithstanding anything else herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require any party to provide any notice, information, investigation, audit, correspondence, and any other communication (collectively, “Information”) to any other party (1) if providing such Information is prohibited by Applicable Requirements or any other contractual or legal obligation or legal restriction or (2) upon any advice of counsel (which may be internal counsel), if providing such Information may cause such party to lose attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or other similar protections (governed by the applicable jurisdiction); provided that, in the case of clause (1), except with respect to any such prohibition imposed by a Governmental Authority, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, the disclosing party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent to such disclosure from the applicable third party unless disclosing party reasonably believes that such consent will not be attainable.

Exhibit C-1-2







EXHIBIT C-2
TERMINATION FEE CALCULATION
Definitions
Deal-Level UPB:  By Ocwen investor code (“deal”), the unpaid principal balance of Mortgage Loans associated with each deal will be fixed for the purposes calculations under this Exhibit C-2 as of the month-end following Subservicer’s receipt of notification of termination without cause.  To the extent Mortgage Loans serviced under RMSR 2.0 are transferred to a third party while this Agreement is still in effect,  Deal-Level UPB will be based on the month-end UPB immediately preceding such transfer date. 


MSRPA Servicing Agreements:  As defined in the Master Agreement.


Primary Mortgage Loans:  As defined in the Master Agreement.


RMSR 2.0: The New RMSR Agreement (as defined in the Master Agreement).


Transferred Percentage: A fraction which equals (A) the  Deal-Level UPB of Mortgage Loans being subserviced under this Agreement and serviced under RMSR 2.0 that with respect to which the subservicing or servicing is being terminated for any reason under this Agreement (other than Section 5.3) divided by (B) the sum of (i) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB with respect to all Mortgage Loans being subserviced under this Agreement, (ii) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB with respect to all Mortgage Loans being serviced under RMSR 2.0, (iii) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB with respect to all Primary Mortgage Loans being serviced under MSRPA Servicing Agreements, (iv) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB in respect of any Primary Mortgage Loans serviced under MSRPA Servicing Agreements the interests in which have been transferred to Ocwen pursuant to Section 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 of the Master Agreement and (v) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB in respect of any Primary Mortgage Loans serviced under MSRPA Servicing Agreements the interests in which have been transferred to a third party pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Master Agreement (calculated at the time of sale of such interests to third parties and amortized at 15%/year until the month-end following Subservicer’s receipt of notification of termination without cause).


Termination Fee Deposit Amount: With respect to the termination of Subservicer under this Agreement  or RMSR 2.0 transferred pursuant to a termination without cause or an RMSR 2.0 transfer to a third party in the first 5 years of this Agreement is calculated for each date on which subservicing or RMSR 2.0 is transferred by multiplying the Transferred Percentage by the Termination Fee associated as of the actual transfer date from Exhibit C-1.

	As a reference population, “Total Servicing Portfolio” means, for any measurement period, all mortgage loans serviced by Subservicer, other than (1) mortgage loans with respect to which the Subservicer is solely performing master servicing functions, (2) reverse mortgage loans and (3) commercial mortgage loans. “NRM Portfolio” means, as of any date of determination, all mortgage loans serviced by Subservicer under any agreement between the Subservicer and the Owner/Servicer or any of its Affiliates, excluding (1) mortgage loans with respect to which the Subservicer is solely performing master servicing functions, (2) reverse mortgage loans and (3) commercial mortgage loans.


		
	•
	The penalty amount is the baseline penalty assessed in case the penalty threshold is exceeded.  This baseline value is subject to a multiplier of either two or three, depending on whether the double penalty threshold or the triple penalty threshold, respectively, is exceeded.  


		
	•
	In the event of a major computer software system change to the Subservicer's primary servicing system, the parties will agree to waive the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger Event and the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger for a period of six (6) calendar months from the date that such system change was implemented; provided that the Subservicer provided at least ninety (90) days' notice to the Owner/Servicer of such system change.  The same applies to all relevant SLAs in case of major changes to a particular area of Subservicer’s servicing (for example, foreclosure activities).  


		
	•
	Penalties can only be assessed for a particular frequency period if the penalty threshold was exceeded both in that frequency period and in the prior frequency period.


		
	•
	Penalties for SLAs will be waived by mutual agreement of the parties on the basis of major events beyond Subservicer’s control that could be reasonably expected to have a material impact on the NRM Portfolio, conflicts or issues with vendors selected by Owner/Servicer, regulatory changes, force majeure events, or events affecting the mortgage servicing industry as a whole and not specific to Subservicer.  In these cases, the specific penalty and incentive thresholds and amounts may also be recalibrated on an ongoing basis or for a specific period of time upon mutual agreement.  In addition, recalibrations of this sort will be mutually agreed to in case of changes to measurement methodologies and regulatory or investor requirements or requests.    




Exhibit F-1




		
	•
	To the extent the parties do not mutually agree on the basis of any event or conditions giving rise to a waiver of all penalties, accelerated penalties or a recalibration of the penalty thresholds, the party requesting such waiver or recalibration shall provide a written justification for such request, with sufficient detail to permit the other party to evaluate and respond.  If such party continues to dispute the basis of the requested waiver or recalibration, within a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days, the parties shall submit such matter to a dispute resolution process (other than litigation).  Upon resolution, the successful party shall be entitled to recover as part of its claim its reasonable, out of pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, incurred in prosecuting such claim.  To the extent any unpaid amounts are determined to be payable, such amounts will be paid at an annual rate of five percent (5%) over the Prime Rate. 


		
	•
	For any SLA, if the total number of loans in the applicable population which serves as the denominator in the calculation falls below 100 for any month, (i) that month shall be excluded from monthly SLA calculations and (ii) such measurement period will increase from monthly to quarterly (or quarterly to annually, as applicable) so that there are 100 measurements.  


		
	•
	For each SLA, performance statistics will be calculated on the basis of reference data with a typical trailing period of one month but no more than two months, except in cases where the SLA metric indicates a longer moving average calculation. 


		
	•
	The maximum net penalty or incentive amount for all applicable SLAs in a given month is capped at 15% of the monthly base subservicing fee that Subservicer receives under the Subservicing Agreement, except during the 6 month period immediately following a major system change in which the maximum net penalty or incentive amount for all applicable SLAs in a given month for such 6-month period is then capped at 25% of the monthly base subservicing fee that Subservicer receives under the Subservicing Agreement.


		
	•
	The SLA reporting will begin with the data collected during the measurement period beginning on October 1, 2017, and the first reports of SLA data will be provided in December 2017; provided that, to the extent sufficient data is available to calculate metrics or estimates, Subservicer shall provide interim reporting during the period prior to December 2017 for such SLAs.


		
	•
	In addition to the Subservicer's other reporting obligations set forth in Section 2.8 of the Agreement, Subservicer will report on SLA metrics and calculations in a format reasonably requested by the Owner/Servicer, and as described below. Subservicer will report these calculations within the first five business days of the month, and any exceptions to the timeline are to be reported as soon as possible, with the applicable reports delivered no later than the tenth business of the month.


		
	o
	With respect to monthly SLAs, on a monthly basis, taking into account a one- or two-month trailing period, the Subservicer will provide the Owner/Servicer a report setting forth the following:




Exhibit F-2




		
	§
	the monthly performance metric for each monthly SLA and the monthly data that was used to calculate this metric or (i) notification of SLAs requiring a two-month trailing period and to be included on the following month’s report or (ii) reclassification of any monthly SLA as a quarterly SLA due to the decreased volume of the applicable population;


		
	§
	any complete waivers or waivers of double or triple penalties for any SLAs;


		
	§
	the applicable penalty or incentive rates for each SLA; and


		
	§
	the penalty or incentive dollar amounts assessed for each SLA.


		
	o
	With respect to quarterly SLAs, in addition to monthly reports on the estimated performance metrics (to the extent available), on a quarterly basis, taking into account a one- or two-month trailing period, the Subservicer will provide the Owner/Servicer with a report setting forth the following:


		
	§
	the quarterly performance metric for each SLA and the relevant monthly data that was used to calculate this metric or (i) notification of SLAs requiring a two-month trailing period and to be included on the following month’s report or (ii) reclassification of any quarterly SLA as an annual SLA due to the decreased volume of the applicable population;


		
	§
	any complete waivers or waivers of double or triple penalties for any SLAs for any month in the applicable quarter;


		
	§
	the penalty or incentive rates for each SLA in each month of the applicable quarter; 


		
	§
	the penalty or incentive dollar amounts assessed for each SLA in each month of the applicable quarter; and


		
	§
	the total penalty or dollar amount assessed for the applicable quarter.


		
	o
	Reporting on annual SLAs (if applicable due to volume considerations) will be similar to the reporting for quarterly SLAs, with monthly estimates of performance metrics provided on a monthly basis (to the extent available) and definitive reports provided on an annual basis.




_______________________
1 Note that in the case of waived SLAs, or SLAs where the penalty threshold was not exceeded in the prior frequency period, the penalty rate will be zero.  
2 Note that this rate will be the same for each of the three months in the quarter unless a complete waiver or waiver of double or triple penalties was in effect for some but not all months of that quarter. 


Exhibit F-3






The following constitute the service level agreements with respect to Master Servicing (the “Master Servicing SLAs”), as may be updated from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof:


[***]
Notes to Master Servicing SLAs:
		
	•
	As a reference population, “NRM Portfolio” means, for any measurement period, all mortgage loans with respect to which the Subservicer is performing master servicing functions under any agreement between the Subservicer and the Owner/Servicer or any of its Affiliates. “All Primary Servicers > 1,000 Loans” means, for any measurement period, all primary servicers that are servicing more than 1,000 loans in the NRM Portfolio. 


		
	•
	All penalties and incentives for Master Servicing SLAs are calculated as a percentage of the monthly base subservicing fee that Subservicer receives for performing Master Servicing functions under the Subservicing Agreement (the “Monthly Sub-Master Servicing Fee”). 


		
	•
	For each quarterly Master Servicing SLA, the Subservicer will assess performance during each of the three months of a given calendar quarter (with a trailing period of one month) and, when such performance assessments have been made for all three months of the quarter, the Subservicer will calculate the average of the monthly performance metrics, which will be the “quarterly performance metric” for such Master Servicing SLA.


		
	•
	Penalty and incentive rates for each quarterly Master Servicing SLA will be assessed on a monthly basis by comparing the quarterly performance metric for the calendar quarter in which that month occurs with each of the penalty, exception and incentive thresholds that are applicable in that month.  


		
	•
	With respect to each quarterly Master Servicing SLA, the dollar amount of the penalty or incentive for each month is the product of the Monthly Sub-Master Servicing Fee and the penalty or incentive rate for that month. The dollar amount of the penalty or incentive for each calendar quarter is the sum of the penalties or incentives for each of the three months in that calendar quarter.      


		
	•
	Annual Master Servicing SLAs will be assessed in an analogous manner to quarterly Master Servicing SLAs, except that the adjustments to the monthly performance metric will be based on annual rather than quarterly adjustments. 


		
	•
	Penalties can only be assessed for a particular frequency period if the penalty threshold was exceeded both in that frequency period and in the prior frequency period.




Exhibit F-4




		
	•
	In the case of any system conversion relating to Master Servicing core systems (SBO2000, DDS, DMS), penalties will be assessed on the basis of the exception threshold instead of the penalty threshold. In addition, (a) for any Master Servicing SLA in the “Securities Administration” category, the exception threshold will apply in case either (i) the number of cleanup calls involving loans in the reference population in a given month exceeds twenty (20) or (ii) the number of new deals involving loans in the reference population in a given month is greater than or equal to five (5); and (b) for any Master Servicing SLA in the “Servicer Management” or “Loan Operations” categories, the exception threshold will apply in case of the addition of three (3) or more new primary servicers in a given month.  Exception thresholds will apply for three (3) consecutive months including the month during which the exception event occurs. 


		
	•
	Penalties for Master Servicing SLAs may be waived by the parties on the basis of major events beyond Ocwen’s control, conflicts or issues with vendors selected by NRM, regulatory changes, force majeure events, or events affecting the mortgage servicing industry as a whole and not specific to Ocwen.  In these cases, the specific penalty and incentive thresholds and rates may also be recalibrated on an ongoing basis or for a specific period of time.  In addition, recalibrations of this sort will be considered in case of changes to measurement methodologies and regulatory or investor requirements or requests.  


		
	•
	Any newly boarded loans will not be included in the referenced population for the purpose of calculations for a period of time agreed to by the parties, after which period the thresholds may be recalibrated by mutual agreement of the parties.  In addition, any loans that are impacted by errors or delays caused by prior servicers will be excluded from the referenced population.


		
	•
	If the total number of securitization trusts in the NRM Portfolio falls below 400, all Master Servicing SLAs will be recalibrated. 


		
	•
	To the extent the parties do not mutually agree on the basis of any event or conditions giving rise to a waiver of all penalties, accelerated penalties or a recalibration of the penalty thresholds, the party requesting such waiver or recalibration shall provide a written justification for such request, with sufficient detail to permit the other party to evaluate and respond.  If such party continues to dispute the basis of the requested waiver or recalibration, within a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days, the parties shall submit such matter to a dispute resolution process (other than litigation).  Upon resolution, the successful party shall be entitled to recover as part of its claim its reasonable, out of pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, incurred in prosecuting such claim.  To the extent any unpaid amounts are determined to be payable, such amounts will be paid at an annual rate of five percent (5%) over the Prime Rate.


		
	•
	The Master Servicing SLA reporting will begin with the data collected during the measurement period beginning on the later of (i) October 1, 2017 and (ii) the first 




Exhibit F-5




of the month following the date on which Subservicer begins Master Servicing under this Agreement.
		
	•
	In addition to reports on monthly estimates for Master Servicing SLA performance metrics, within the first five business days of the second month of each calendar quarter, Subservicer will provide Owner/Servicer with a report setting forth: 


		
	o
	the quarterly performance metric for each of the Master Servicing SLAs from the prior calendar quarter and all monthly data that was used in the calculation of this metric; 


		
	o
	any exception events that occurred in the prior calendar quarter and, for each Master Servicing SLA and each month of the prior calendar quarter, whether the exception threshold applied in that month;


		
	o
	the penalty or incentive rates for each Master Servicing SLA in each month of the prior calendar quarter; 


		
	o
	the penalty or incentive dollar amounts assessed for each Master Servicing SLA in each month of the prior calendar quarter; and 


		
	o
	 the total penalty or incentive dollar amounts assessed for the prior calendar quarter. 


		
	•
	Reporting on annual Master Servicing SLAs will be similar to the reporting for quarterly SLAs, with monthly estimates of performance metrics provided on a monthly basis and definitive reports provided on an annual basis.   
































_______________________
3 Note that this rate will be the same for each of the three months in the calendar quarter unless the exception threshold applies in some but not all of these months.

EXHIBIT J
PERFORMANCE TRIGGERS
A. Initial Performance Triggers


The following shall represent the applicable Performance Triggers, as may be modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, and to be assessed on the basis of data collected from the first full Quarter following the Effective Date: 


		
	1.
	the Quarterly Average Delinquency Ratio exceeds [***] (the “Delinquency Trigger Event”);


		
	2.
	the Quarterly Average Foreclosure Sale Ratio falls below [***] (the “Foreclosure Sale Trigger”) for two consecutive Quarters (the “Foreclosure Sale Trigger Event”); 


		
	3.
	the Quarterly Average Workout Ratio falls below [***] (the “Workout Trigger”) for two consecutive Quarters (the “Workout Trigger Event”); and


		
	4.
	the Net SLA Monthly Penalty Amount exceeds [***] of the Monthly Fee Amount for such month (the “Excessive SLA Failure Trigger”) in every month for two consecutive Quarters (the “Excessive SLA Failure Trigger Event”). 


Subject to the automatic modification of the Workout Trigger as set for in Section D below, any modifications to Performance Triggers shall be evidenced in writing and shall take effect in the Quarter during which such modifications were agreed to, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.  In addition to the specific provisions set forth in Sections B, C and D of this Exhibit J relating to the conditions under which a Performance Trigger may be modified, the Owner/Servicer and Subservicer agree to modify any of the above Performance Triggers from time to time in cases where there have been or will be material changes to the portfolio of Subject Loans constituting the reference class of the applicable Performance Trigger.  Upon the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event, that has a material impact on the Subservicer’s ability to service the Subject Loans pursuant to the Agreement, the parties will agree to waive any of the Performance Triggers to the extent affected.
B.    Delinquency Trigger Resets
The Subservicer and Owner/Servicer shall mutually agree to a modification of the Delinquency Trigger under each of the following circumstances: (i) (x) in the event that the delinquency rate set forth in the "Seriously Delinquent As a % of Total Loans NSA" quarterly index from Mortgage Bankers Association (FORLTOSD Index on Bloomberg) (the "Index") increases by more than three percentage points from the rate set forth in such report for the month ending June 2017 and (y) thereafter, in the event of any subsequent material increase in such rate or (ii) to the extent that the Index does not capture the impact of industry-wide events which would materially impact delinquency rates (for example, industry-wide foreclosure holds imposed by states regulators).        


Exhibit J-1




C.    Foreclosure Sale Trigger Resets
The Subservicer and Owner/Servicer shall mutually agree on a modification to the Foreclosure Sale Trigger in the event that one or more judicial rulings or state regulatory actions, decrees, interpretations or guidance occurs that impact more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the total number of Subject Loans counted in the Subservicer’s active foreclosure inventory on the date of such occurrence.  
D.    Workout Trigger Resets
(a)    The Workout Trigger shall be modified, effective as of January 1, 2019, to an amount equal to [***] of the average monthly Workout Ratio for the calendar year of 2018 and, for each subsequent calendar year, effective as of January 1st of such year, the Workout Trigger shall be modified to an amount equal to [***] of the average monthly Workout Ratio of the prior calendar year; provided that, to the extent the Quarterly Average Workout Ratio falls below the Workout Trigger for the Quarter beginning in October and the Quarterly Average Workout Ratio is above the Workout Trigger for the following Quarter beginning in January solely as a result of the automatic modification of the Workout Trigger as set forth in this sentence, then the Workout Trigger for the Quarter beginning in January shall not be included for purposes of calculating the Workout Trigger Event and the parties agree to use the Workout Trigger for the Quarters beginning in October and April to determine if a Workout Trigger Event occurred. The parties agree that the Workout Trigger may be recalibrated after January 1, 2019 based on quarterly rather than annual averages in order to reflect seasonal fluctuations. 
(b)    The Subservicer and Owner/Servicer shall mutually agree on a modification to the existing (or automatically modified pursuant to clause (a) above) Workout Trigger under each of the following circumstances: (i) any regulatory changes that result in substantially lower modification rates on an industry-wide basis, (ii) the previously modified proportion of the portfolio of Subject Loans that are 60+ Day Delinquent increases to more than [***], and thereafter, for each subsequent increase of [***] (iii) a decrease in modification eligibility of the Subject Loans due to substantial macroeconomic changes, including but not limited to, material changes in (x) home prices, (y) interest rates and/or (z) unemployment rates, and (iv) conditions materially affecting modification rates, including, for example, the availability and funding of governmental modification programs.  
The Subservicer and Owner/Servicer shall mutually agree on a modification or reconstruction of the Workout Trigger to compare the Subservicer's loss mitigation performance against the performance of the mortgage servicing industry (in which the Subservicer would be expected to be within a range of average industry levels) to the extent a reliable industry benchmarking loss mitigation data has been introduced and is generally acceptable to the secondary mortgage market.
E.    Excessive SLA Failure Trigger Waivers and Applicability 
The SLAs used to calculate the Aggregate Net SLA Monthly Penalty Rate shall include all SLAs other than (i) any SLA identified as inapplicable to the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger on 


Exhibit J-2




Exhibit F of the Agreement, as updated from time to time by mutual agreement of the parties and (ii) any SLAs that the Owner/Servicer and Subservicer have agreed to waive or exclude on the basis of major events beyond the Subservicer’s control which materially and adversely affect the servicing of the Subject Loans under the Agreement, including, without limitation, conflicts or issues with Approved Parties or Vendors selected by the Owner/Servicer, regulatory changes, Force Majeure Events or events affecting the mortgage servicing industry as a whole and not specific to Subservicer. 
In the event of a major computer software system change to the Subservicer's primary servicing system, the parties will agree to waive the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger Event and the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger for a period of six (6) calendar months from the date that such system change was implemented; provided that the Subservicer provided at least ninety (90) days' notice to the Owner/Servicer of such system change.
F.    Definitions
“60+ Day Delinquent”: With respect to any Subject Loan, the Mortgage Loan that would be considered sixty (60) days or more contractually delinquent following the OTS Methodology. 
“90+ Day Delinquent”: With respect to any Subject Loan, the Mortgage Loan that would be considered ninety (90) days or more contractually delinquent following the OTS Methodology. 
“Affected SLA”: (i) In the event that there are major system changes impacting the Subservicer’s servicing platform as a whole, for a period of six months following such changes or increase, all SLAs and (ii) in the event that there are major system changes impacting particular areas of the Subservicer’s servicing activities, for a period of six months following such changes, all SLAs related to such areas.
For the avoidance of doubt, if there is a system change, the double and triple SLA penalties shall not count towards the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger.  However, they shall count towards the subservicer economics and during the six month period reference above the 25% cap on adjustments to subservicer economics shall be in place.
“Delinquency Ratio”:  With respect to the Subject Loans, as of the end of each calendar month, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the total unpaid principal balance of the Subject Loans which are 90+ Day Delinquent, including Subject Loans in foreclosure which are 90+ Day Delinquent, Subject Loans in bankruptcy which are 90+ Day Delinquent, plus the loan balance (prior to conversion to REO) of REO Properties,  that were subserviced by the Subservicer during such month and (y) the denominator of which is the total unpaid principal balance of all Subject Loans.
 “Force Majeure Event”: Any event beyond the reasonable control of the Subservicer including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services.


Exhibit J-3




“Foreclosure Sale Ratio”:  With respect to the Subject Loans, as of the end of each calendar month, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is total number of Subject Loans with respect to which the foreclosure sale has been completed as of the end of the day on the last day of such calendar month, and (y) the denominator of which is the total number of Subject Loans counted in the Subservicer’s foreclosure inventory (whether active or on hold) as of the end of the day on the last day of such calendar month.
“Incentive Amount”: For each SLA, the amount computed pursuant to Exhibit F, if applicable.
“Measurement Loans”:  Other than any Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Subservicer is solely performing Master Servicing functions, the Prior Ocwen Serviced Loans and any Mortgage Loans subject to a Deferred Servicing Agreement (as defined in the Master Agreement) as of the date of the Master Agreement or were previously subject to a Deferred Servicing Agreement and are being serviced or subserviced by the Subservicer, including on an interim basis, other than the Mortgage Loans with respect to which (x) the Servicing Rights have been transferred to a third party pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Master Agreement or (y) the Rights to MSRs and Transferred Receivables Assets (as defined in the Master Agreement) have been transferred to Subservicer from an Affiliate of Owner/Servicer pursuant to the Purchase Option (as defined in the Master Agreement).
"Monthly Fee Amount": For each month, an amount equal to (A) the product of (i)    [***] and (ii) the total unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the first Business Day of such calendar month that were subserviced by the Subservicer during such calendar month, excluding those Mortgage Loans for which the Subservicer is solely performing Master Servicing functions in this Agreement, (B) divided by 12.
“Net SLA Monthly Penalty Amount”:  For each month, the amount, if positive, equal to (A) the aggregate Penalty Amounts payable by the Subservicer, if any, with respect to the SLAs in such month minus (B)(i) if applicable, any such amounts paid as the result of a double or triple penalty multiplier for any Affected SLA and (ii) the aggregate Incentive Amounts payable to the Subservicer, if any, with respect to the SLAs in such month; provided that the amount to be included in clause (A) or (B) with respect to each Quarterly SLA shall be zero in each month prior to the initial calculation of such Quarterly SLA and for each month following such initial calculation shall be the Penalty Amount or Incentive Amount, if applicable, from the most recent calculation of such Quarterly SLA.  For the avoidance of doubt penalties and incentives related to Master Servicing SLAs shall not count towards the calculation of the Net SLA Monthly Penalty Amount.
“New Mortgage Loan”:  With respect to any existing Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement, a new mortgage loan (i) which is originated when the related Mortgagor (A) refinances such existing Mortgage Loan with proceeds from such new mortgage loan which is secured by the same mortgaged property or (B) pays off in full such existing Mortgage Loan and obtains a new mortgage loan secured by a different mortgaged property and, in each case, such refinancing or new borrowing resulted from the solicitation efforts of the Subservicer or any brokers, correspondent lenders, agents or independent contractors that Subservicer engaged to solicit such refinancing or 


Exhibit J-4




new borrowing on its behalf and (ii) for which the related Servicing Rights are transferred to the Owner/Servicer pursuant to Exhibit B. 
“OTS Methodology”:  A method of calculating delinquency of a Subject Loan based upon The Office of Thrift Supervision method, under which method a Subject Loan is considered delinquent if the payment has not been received by the Subject Loan’s next due date.  For example, a Subject Loan with a due date of August 1, 2017, with no payment received by the close of business on September 1, 2017, would have been reported as delinquent on October 1, 2017.
“Penalty Amount”: For each SLA, the amount computed pursuant to Exhibit F, including, without limitation, the application of any applicable double penalties, triple penalties or waivers and taking into account the consecutive failure requirement for a penalty to be assessed.
“Quarter”: A period consisting of three consecutive calendar months and beginning with either January, April, July or October.  
“Quarterly Average Delinquency Ratio”: With respect to each Quarter, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the sum of the Delinquency Ratios for each of the applicable three months and (y) the denominator of which is three.
“Quarterly Average Foreclosure Sale Ratio”: With respect to each Quarter, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the sum of the Foreclosure Sale Ratios for each of the applicable three months and (y) the denominator of which is three.
“Quarterly Average Workout Ratio”: With respect to each Quarter, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the sum of the Workout Ratios for each of the applicable three months and (y) the denominator of which is three. 
“Quarterly SLAs”: Each SLA with a designated frequency of “quarterly” on Exhibit F.
“Subject Loans”: Each of (i) the Measurement Loans and (ii) any Transferred-In Loans agreed upon by the parties; provided that (x) with respect to the calculation of the Foreclosure Sale Ratio, a Transferred-In Loan shall not be deemed a Subject Loan until a date that is mutually agreed by the parties and (y) with respect to the calculation of the Workout Ratio, a Transferred-In Loan shall not be deemed a Subject Loan until a date that is mutually agreed to by the parties.   
“Transferred-In Loans”: Other than any Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Subservicer is solely performing Master Servicing functions in this Agreement, each of (i) any New Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Mortgage Loans that become subject to this Agreement pursuant to an Acknowledgement Agreement with respect to which the Subservicer is not solely performing Master Servicing functions.
 “Workout Ratio”: With respect to the Subject Loans, as of the end of each calendar month, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is total number of the Subject Loans with respect to which, during such month either a non-HAMP modification, a short-sale or a deed-in-lieu agreement, in each case, has been completed, and (y) the denominator of which is 


Exhibit J-5

(vii)    made in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.  
Eligible Servicing Agreement:  As of any date of determination, any Servicing Agreement which meets the following criteria:
(i)    pursuant to the terms of such Servicing Agreement:
(A)    under such agreement, the Owner/Servicer is permitted to reimburse itself for the related Advance out of late collections of the amounts advanced, including from insurance proceeds and liquidation proceeds from the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such Advance was made, prior to any holders of any notes, certificates or other securities backed by the related mortgage loan pool or any other owner of or investor in the Mortgage Loan, and prior to payment of any party subrogated to the rights of the holders of such securities (such as a reimbursement right of a credit enhancer) or any hedge or derivative termination fees, or to any related Mortgage Pool or any related trustee, custodian, hedge counterparty or credit enhancer; provided, that reimbursement of any Advance with respect to a second lien Mortgage Loan shall be subject to any first lien on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable, under which such Advance arises;
