The execution, delivery and performance by such Credit Party of this Amendment do not (i) conflict with any of such Credit Party's organizational documents; (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any Law; (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which such

2

          

Credit Party or any of its property or assets may be bound or affected; (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Required Permit from, any Governmental Authority (except such Required Permits which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect); or (v) constitute a default under or conflict with any Material Agreement.

2.     This Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Credit Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms.

3.     After giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents are true and correct in all material respects (but in all respects if such representation or warranty is qualified by "material" or "Material Adverse Effect"), except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects (but in all respects if such representation or warranty is qualified by "material" or "Material Adverse Effect") on and as of such earlier date, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.

D.  OTHER AGREEMENTS

1.     Waivers.

(i)          The Borrower and its Subsidiaries acknowledge and agree that as of this date, an Event of Default has occurred as a result of the Borrower's failure to comply with Section 7.2(c)(i) of the Credit Agreement in that the Borrower failed to hire a suitable permanent replacement for its Chief Financial Officer within ninety (90) days of departure (the "Existing Default").  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, Agent and Lenders hereby waive the Existing Default. Such waiver shall in no way constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default which may have occurred, but is not specifically referenced as an "Event of Default," nor shall it obligate Agent or Lenders to provide any further waiver of any other Event of Default.

(ii)          Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, Agent and Lenders hereby waive the requirement to pay any Applicable Prepayment Fee payable as a result of this Amendment pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the existing Term Credit Facilities in place immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment; provided, however that this shall in no way constitute a waiver of the Applicable Prepayment Fee payable with respect to the Term Credit Facility described on the Credit Facility Schedule attached to this Amendment as Exhibit A.

2.     Continuing Effectiveness of Financing Documents.  As amended hereby, all terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Credit Parties party thereto.  To the extent any terms and conditions in any of the other Financing Documents shall contradict or be in conflict with any terms or conditions of the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to this Amendment, such terms and conditions are hereby deemed modified and amended accordingly to reflect the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as modified and amended hereby. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment such terms and conditions are hereby deemed modified and amended accordingly to reflect the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as modified and amended hereby.  This Amendment shall constitute a Financing Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.

3.     Reaffirmation. Each of the Credit Parties as debtor, grantor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor, or in other any other similar capacity in which such Credit Party grants liens or security interests in its property or otherwise acts as accommodation party or guarantor, as the case may be, hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party (after giving effect hereto).  Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges

3

          

that, as of the date hereof, the security interests and liens granted to Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents are in full force and effect, are properly perfected and are enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

4.     No Waiver or Novation.  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement.  This Amendment is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not be construed to be, a novation of the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents or an accord and satisfaction in regard thereto.

5.     Governing Law.   This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Maryland and all applicable federal laws of the United States of America.

6.     Costs and Expenses.  Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of Agent and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel for Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto.

7.     Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one agreement.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

8.     Binding Nature.  This Amendment binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party hereto.  No third party beneficiaries are intended in connection with this Amendment.

9.     Integration.  This Amendment and the Financing Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements.  All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Amendment and the Financing Documents merge into this Amendment and the Financing Documents.

10.   Release.  Each Credit Party hereby releases, acquits, and forever discharges Agent and each of the Lenders, and each and every past and present subsidiary, affiliate, stockholder, officer, director, agent, servant, employee, representative, and attorney of Agent and the Lenders, from any and all claims, causes of action, suits, debts, liens, obligations, liabilities, demands, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind, character, or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which such Credit Party may have or claim to have now or which may hereafter arise out of or connected with any act of commission or omission of Agent or the Lenders existing or occurring prior to the date of this Amendment or any instrument executed prior to the date of this Amendment including, without limitation, any claims, liabilities or obligations arising with respect to the Credit Agreement or the other of the Financing Documents, other than claims, liabilities or obligations caused by Agent's or any Lender's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

as part of his final paycheck as part of the customary payroll schedule, except as further provided in this Agreement; and that
(ii) Individual is not entitled to any additional or future compensation or benefits arising out of Individual’s employment
with the Company, except for such compensation or benefits, if any, arising under the retirement or welfare benefits or plans of
Ocwen to which Individual may be entitled by virtue of Individual’s employment with the Company, subject in all cases to
the terms and conditions of the plans and agreements governing such benefits. Without limitation to the above, Individual acknowledges
and agrees that (i) he is not entitled to any additional incentive or other bonus type compensation other than what has been included
herein; (ii) Individual is not entitled to the vesting of any additional or future equity awards (iii) Individual has reported
to the Company any and all work-related injuries which incurred during employment; (iv) the Company properly provided any leave

2. Consideration.

 

In consideration
of Individual’s promises in this Agreement, the Company will provide Individual the gross sum of $125,000.00, less applicable
withholding and taxes (the “Payment”). In accord with the terms of the Company’s U.S. Virgin Island Relocation
Program, the Company will also pay the individual $50,000.00, less applicable withholding and taxes, in connection with his relocation

Form (Attachment B hereto) to the Company confirming Individual’s decision not to revoke this Agreement, and (f) Individual
has returned all company property to the Company.

 

Amounts the Company
is paying in consideration for the Agreement will be treated as taxable compensation but are not intended by either party to be
treated, and will not be treated, as compensation for purposes of eligibility or benefits under any benefit plan of the Company,
to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the governing documents of the relevant plans. The Company will apply standard
tax and other applicable withholdings to payments made to Individual. Individual agrees that the consideration the Company will
provide includes amounts in addition to anything of value to which Individual already is entitled. The Company also will pay Individual
any accrued but unused vacation regardless of whether Individual signs this Agreement.

 

Individual acknowledges
and agrees that the separation payment is in full satisfaction of any amounts that may otherwise have been payable under any cash
bonus or incentive, equity or other arrangement.

 

    	2

or under any indemnification agreement previously agreed to by the parties.

 

4. Agreement Not To Sue.

 

Other than an action
for breach of this Release Agreement or as otherwise provided in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8, Individual expressly acknowledges that
if Individual files any claim or lawsuit, or causes or aids any claim or arbitration to be filed on Individual’s behalf,
regarding any matter described in this Release Agreement, the Company may be entitled to recover from Individual some or all money
paid under this Release Agreement, plus attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in defending against such action, to the extent
permitted by law.

5. Advice of Counsel, Consideration
and Revocation Periods, Other Information.

 

The Company advises
Individual to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement. Individual has 21 days to consider whether to sign this
Agreement from the date Individual receives this Agreement and any attached information (“Consideration Period”). Individual
must return this signed Agreement to the Company’s representative identified below within the Consideration Period. If Individual
signs and returns this Agreement before the end of the Consideration Period, it is because Individual freely chose to do so after
carefully considering its terms. Additionally, Individual shall have seven days from the date the Individual signs this Agreement
to revoke this Agreement by delivering a written notice of revocation within the seven day revocation period to the same person
as Individual returned this Agreement. If the revocation period expires on a weekend or holiday, Individual will have until the
end of the next business day to revoke. This Agreement will become effective on the eighth day after Individual signs this Agreement
provided Individual does not revoke this Agreement (“Effective Date”). Any modification or alteration of any terms
of this Agreement by Individual voids this Agreement in its entirety. Individual agrees with the Company that changes, whether
material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the Consideration Period.

 

6. No Interference with Rights.

 

Nothing in this
Agreement is intended to waive claims (i) for unemployment or workers’ compensation benefits; (ii) for vested rights under
ERISA-covered employee benefit plans as applicable on the date Individual signs this Agreement; (iii) for vested rights under ERISA-covered
employee benefit plans that may arise after Individual signs this Agreement; (iv) for reimbursement of expenses under the Company’s
expense reimbursement policies; or (v) which cannot be released by private agreement. In addition, nothing in this Agreement including
but not limited to the acknowledgments, release of claims, proprietary information, confidentiality, cooperation, and non-disparagement
provisions (i) limits or affects Individual’s right to challenge the validity of this Agreement under the ADEA or the OWBPA,
(ii) prevents Individual from filing a charge or complaint with or from participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted
by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, National Labor Relations Board,
the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other any federal, state or local agency charged with the enforcement of any laws,
including providing documents or any other information, without notice to the Company or (iii) limits Individual from exercising
rights under Section 7 of the NLRA to engage in protected, concerted activity with other employees, although by signing this Agreement
Individual is waiving rights to individual relief (including backpay, frontpay, reinstatement or other legal or equitable relief)
in any charge, complaint, or lawsuit or other proceeding brought by Individual or on Individual’s behalf by any third party,
except for any right Individual may have to receive a payment from a government agency (and not the Company) for information provided
to the government agency.

 

7. Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act.

 

Notwithstanding
the confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations in this Release and otherwise, Individual understands that as provided by the
Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, Individual will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret
law for the disclosure of a trade secret made: (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly
or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2)
in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

 

    	4

     

    

 

8. Executive Cooperation.

 

Individual shall
reasonably cooperate with Ocwen in connection with: (a) any internal or governmental investigation or administrative, regulatory,
arbitral or judicial proceeding involving Ocwen with respect to matters relating to Individual’s employment with Ocwen (collectively,
“Litigation”); (b) any audit of the financial statements of Ocwen with respect to the period of time when Individual
was employed by or provided services to Ocwen (“Audit”); and (c) providing such other occasional advice, assistance
and consultation as Ocwen may reasonably request from time to time on matters with which Individual was familiar and/or about which
Individual acquired knowledge, expertise and/or experience during the time that Individual was employed by Ocwen to help ensure
a smooth transition of his position; provided that such cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with Individual’s then-current
professional or personal commitments. Individual acknowledges that such cooperation may include, but shall not be limited to, Individual
making himself available to Ocwen (or their respective attorneys or auditors) upon reasonable notice for: (i) interviews, factual
investigations, and providing declarations or affidavits that provide truthful information in connection with any Litigation or
Audit; (ii) appearing at the request of Ocwen to give truthful testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal
process; (iii) volunteering to Ocwen pertinent information related to any Litigation or Audit; and (iv) turning over to Ocwen any
documents relevant to any Litigation or Audit that are or may come into Individual’s possession. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, Individual will have no obligation to act against his own legal or financial interests or to forgo any constitutional
rights (including, but not limited to, in connection with any regulatory investigation), and this Section 8 will not affect his
Indemnification Rights. Ocwen and agrees to reimburse Individual for his actual and reasonable expenses in performing any services
pursuant to this Section 8 that are requested by Ocwen, provided that Individual promptly submits such expenses for reimbursement
along with reasonable and customary supporting documentation for the same. Any such reimbursement shall be paid promptly after
receipt by Ocwen of such materials from Individual, and in all events not later than six months from when Individual submitted
his supporting documentation for the related expense to Ocwen.

 

9. Company Property and Confidential
Proprietary Information. 

 

Individual further
agrees and covenants that Individual has not and will not remove from the Company premises any item belonging to the Company and
its affiliates, including office equipment, files, business records or correspondence, customer lists, computer data and proprietary
or confidential information (“Information”) and that Individual has not and will not disclose or use any Information
and/or trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates. To the extent individual has Information in his possession, Individual
agrees to return to the Company prior to the Termination Date all confidential and proprietary information and all other Company
property, as well as all copies or excerpts of any property, files or documents obtained as a result of employment with the Company,
except those items that the Company specifically agrees in writing to permit Individual to retain. Individual agrees to keep all
such information confidential and not disclose or use the Information for any purpose, or divulge or disclose that Information
to any person other than employees of the Company, except as compelled by legal process or pursuant to paragraph 6 and 7 of this
Agreement. In addition, Individual reaffirms his obligations pursuant to the Intellectual Property and Confidentiality Agreement
signed by him.

 

10. Post-Employment Restrictions.

 

Individual acknowledges
that during his time of employment he was provided access to confidential information and Company’s clients, customers and
others with whom the Company has formed valuable business arrangements. Therefore, the Individual agrees that he will refrain from
using such confidential information to take any action that would interfere with, diminish or impair the valuable relationships
that the Company has with its clients, customers and others with which the Company has business relationships or to which services
are rendered. Because of the reasons stated above, the individual also agrees to refrain from using such confidential information
to recruit or otherwise solicit for employment or induce to terminate the Company’s employment of or consultancy with, any
person (natural or otherwise) who is or becomes an employee or consultant of the Company; or assist with others engaging in any
of the foregoing. Further, the Individual agrees that he will not:

 

    	5

     

    

 

(a) For a period of two (2)
years following the date of this Agreement take any action that would interfere with, diminish or impair the valuable relationships
that the Company has with its clients, customers and others with which the Company has business relationships or to which services
are rendered;

 

(b) Recruit or otherwise solicit
for employment or induce to terminate the Company’s employment of or consultancy with, any person (natural or otherwise)
who is or becomes an employee or consultant of the Company, or hire any such employee or consultant who has left the employ of
the Company within one (1) year after the termination or expiration of such employee’s or consultant’s
employment with the Company, as the case may be; or

 

(c) Assist with others engaging
in any of the foregoing.

 

11. Subpoena.

 

Except as provided
in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8, Individual further agrees not to testify for, appear on behalf of, or otherwise assist in any way any
individual or company in any claim against Ocwen except, unless, and only pursuant to a lawful subpoena or other legal process
issued to Individual. If such a subpoena is issued, Individual will immediately notify Ocwen’s Legal Department and provide
it with a copy of the subpoena, unless the subpoena reflects that Ocwen has already received a copy. 

 

12. Action for Breach.

 

Violation of any
provision of this Agreement by Individual will subject Individual to an action for breach of this Agreement, and an action to obtain
reimbursement of all monies paid pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement.

 

13. Arbitration.

 

Any dispute arising
out of or related in any way to this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator
pursuant to the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Employment Arbitration Rules (“AAA’s Rules”),
a copy of which is available at www.adr.org. In addition, Individual reaffirms the Pre-Employment Dispute Resolution Agreement
and Employment Dispute Resolution Agreements signed by him. By way of example only, some of the types of claims subject to final
and binding arbitration include claims alleging breach of this Agreement; or any claims the Company may have against Employee.
This agreement to arbitrate extends to disputes with or claims against the Discharged Parties (as intended third party beneficiaries
of this Agreement), and survives beyond the Effective Date. AAA’s Rules will govern the allocation of costs and expenses
except as otherwise agreed and set forth below. If an employee initiates arbitration by submitting a written claim to the Company
Human Resource Manager (or other designated representative of the Company), unless Employee elects otherwise, the Company (or the
third party beneficiary, if applicable) will be responsible for the filing fee charged by AAA, as well as AAA’s daily administrative
fees, the cost of hearing location, and the compensation and travel expenses of the Arbitrator. The arbitration hearing shall take
place in St Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.

 

    	6

     

    

 

The Arbitrator shall
have authority to hear and rule on a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party. The arbitrator shall
also arbitrate the issue of arbitrability of any claim. The arbitrator shall decide all issues of arbitrability including, but
not limited to, any defenses to arbitration based on waiver by litigation conduct, or any other type of waiver, delay, or like
defense. The arbitrator shall also decide whether any and all conditions precedent to arbitrability have been fulfilled. All matters
of substantive and procedural arbitrability shall be decided exclusively by arbitration.

 

Special Note:
This agreement to arbitrate affects your legal rights. You may wish to seek legal advice if you have any question about the effect
of this agreement to arbitrate on your rights.

Both parties acknowledge
that they have had the opportunity to freely consult, if they so desire, with attorneys of their own choosing prior to signing
this document regarding the contents and consequences of this document. The parties understand that the payment and other matters

shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. In the event any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement
is determined to be non-arbitrable by an arbitrator or any court of law, the Parties hereby waive and give up the right to a trial
by jury, and agree that any such claim or dispute will be settled by a court of the United Sates Virgin Islands having jurisdiction
to do so and not by a jury. The Parties specifically agree that the Superior Court and the District Court of the United States
Virgin Islands have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any such claim or dispute determined to be non-arbitrable.

 

    	7

     

    

 

15. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction and Venue and Jury Waiver.

 

It is the intention
of the parties hereto that all questions with respect to the construction of this Agreement and the rights and liabilities of the
parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the U.S. Virgin Islands, without regard to conflict of law
principles. Any non-arbitrable dispute with respect to this Agreement or Individual’s employment with the Company which requires
intervention by a court of law shall be decided in the district or federal courts located in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. The parties
further expressly waive any and all objections they may have to venue in any such courts. The parties knowingly and voluntarily
waive any right which either or both of them shall have to receive a trial by jury with respect to any claims, controversies or
disputes which arise out of or relate to this Agreement or Individual’s employment with the Company.

 

16. No Admission of Liability.

 

Nothing in this
Release Agreement shall be construed to be an admission of liability by the Company and its respective parent company, subsidiaries,
affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, and their officers, directors, shareholders, principals, employees, insurers,
and agents for any alleged violation of any of Individual’s statutory rights or any common law duty imposed upon the Company.

 

17. Successors and Assigns.

 

Except as otherwise
provided in specific provisions above, this Release Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Individual, Individual’s
spouse, Individual’s heirs, executors, administrators, designated beneficiaries and upon anyone claiming under Individual
or Individual’s spouse, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.
Individual warrants and represents that, except as provided herein, no right, claim, cause of action or demand, or any part thereof,
which Individual may have arising out of or in any way related to Individual’s employment with the Company, has been or will
be assigned, granted or transferred in any way to any other person, entity, firm or corporation, in any manner, including by subrogation
or by operation of marital property rights.

 

18. Exemption from § 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

All payments due
under this Release Agreement will be paid no later than March 15, 2019. It is the intent of the Parties that all such payments
are to be considered to be short-term deferrals to which Code Section 409A is not applicable by reason of Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(b)(4).
