Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and, more particularly, the conditions of this ARTICLE III, if Seller or any of its affiliates refinances any Current Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loan, it shall designate a residential mortgage loan as a replacement

Mortgage Loan pursuant to this ARTICLE III and assign the Future Excess Servicing Spread with respect to such replacement Mortgage Loan on the applicable Assignment Date to Purchaser as provided in this Agreement (such obligations of Seller, the “Future Excess Servicing Spread Assignment Obligation“), and the rights of Purchaser to such Future Excess Servicing Spread, the “Future Excess Servicing Spread Rights“).

Section 3.02 Criteria for Mortgage Loans.

(a) As of the applicable Assignment Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser, either:

(i) The Mortgage Loan shall satisfy the following criteria:

(1) The proceeds of such Mortgage Loan (the “New Mortgage Loan“) were use to repay the Refinanced Mortgage Loan in whole or in part;

(2) All consents, if any, required by the applicable Owner to assign the related Future Excess Servicing Spread with respect to the New Mortgage Loan shall have been obtained;

(3) The servicing fee rate for the New Mortgage Loan is not less than the lesser of (x) the servicing fee rate of the Refinanced Mortgage Loan and (y) (A) 0.25% per annum if such New Mortgage Loan is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, (B) 0.35% per annum if such New Mortgage Loan is a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan or (C) 0.375% per annum if such New Mortgage Loan is owned by GNMA; and

(4) The New Mortgage Loan is secured by the same property as the Refinanced Mortgage Loan; or

(ii) if Seller is unable to satisfy the conditions in Section 3.02(a)(i) after using commercially reasonable efforts, Seller shall use its best efforts to substitute the New Mortgage Loan with a Mortgage Loan satisfying the following criteria:

(1) The servicing fee rate (which results in the Servicing Spread Collections) for the Mortgage Loan is equal to or greater than the servicing fee rate of the New Mortgage Loan; provided however if the servicing fee rate of the New Mortgage Loan is less than the applicable rate set forth in Section 3.02(a)(i)(3), the servicing fee rate on the Mortgage Loan is not less than the lesser of (x) the servicing fee rate of the Refinanced Mortgage Loan and (y) (A) 0.25% per annum if such Mortgage Loan is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, (B) 0.35% per annum if such Mortgage Loan is a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan or (C) 0.375% per annum if such Mortgage Loan is owned by GNMA;

(4) The principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is no less than the principal balance of the Refinanced Mortgage Loan;

(5) The remaining credit characteristics of the Mortgage Loan (other than as specified in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) above) are substantially the same as the credit characteristics of the New Mortgage Loan;

(6) The Mortgage Loan is current as of the applicable Assignment Date; and

(7) The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any foreclosure or similar proceeding as of the applicable Assignment Date; is not in process of any modification, workout or other loss mitigation process; and is not involved in litigation.

(b) If a New Mortgage Loan would otherwise meet the criteria set forth in Section 3.02(a)(i) and is still owned by Seller as of the Mortgage Loan Identification Date, in lieu of a substitution pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(ii) above, the Seller may include such New Mortgage Loan as a Mortgage Loan in the Available Portfolio; provided (i) the servicing fee rate (which results in the Servicing Spread Collections) for such Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be 0.30% per annum and (ii) if at any time such Mortgage Loan fails to otherwise meet the criteria set forth in Section 3.02(a)(i) (e.g. the Mortgage Loan is sold to an Agency and the Seller is unable to obtain an Owner Consent), the Seller shall be required to substitute a loan for such New Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(ii) above.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.02(a)(ii)(4), Seller shall not be in breach of Section 3.01 on any Assignment Date if, after using best efforts to select residential mortgage loans to substitute New Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(ii), the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the residential mortgage loans in the Available Portfolio as of such Assignment Date is equal to or greater than 90% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the New Mortgage Loans during the Related Collection Period as measured on the opening of business on their respective Refinancing Date.

Section 3.03 Refinancing Incentives.

For any Assignment Date beginning with the Assignment Date in the sixth calendar month after the Sale Date and subject to Section 4.04 hereof, Seller’s Future Excess Servicing Spread Assignment Obligation shall be reduced by the Maximum Retained Refinancing Loan Amount for such Assignment Date. For purposes of this Section 3.03, the following definitions shall apply:

Replacement Shortfall: With respect to any Assignment Date and the Related Collection Period, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the New Mortgage Loans that were originated by Seller or an affiliate thereof during the Related Collection Period as measured on the opening of business on their respective Refinancing Date, minus the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the residential mortgage loans in the Available Portfolio as of such Assignment Date.

Excess Refinancing Percentage: With respect to any Assignment Date, a percentage equal to the excess, if any, of (a) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate principal balance of New Mortgage Loans that were originated by Seller or an affiliate thereof over the Related Collection Period and the two Collection Periods immediately prior to such Related Collection Period (the “Quarterly Collection Period”) as measured on their respective Refinancing Date, minus the aggregate Replacement Shortfall over such Quarterly Collection Period, and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans that voluntarily prepaid in full over the Quarterly Collection Period (measured as of the date of such prepayment), over (b) 35%.

Refinancing Split Percentage: With respect to any Assignment Date, the Refinancing Split Percentage shown in the column of the table below corresponding to the Excess Refinancing Percentage therein:


Three Month Average Recapture Percentage	Excess Refinancing Percentage	Refinancing Split Percentage
35% or Less	0%	0%
> 35%, <= 40%	>0.00% and <=5.00%	25%
> 40%, <= 45%	>5.00% and <=10.00%	30%
> 45%, <= 50%	>10.00% and <=15.00%	35%
> 50%, <= 55%	>15.00% and <=20.00%	40%

Greater than 60%	>25.00%	50%

Maximum Retained Refinancing Loan Amount: With respect to any Assignment Date, an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Refinancing Split Percentage, if any, applicable to such Assignment Date, (ii) the Excess Refinancing Percentage applicable to such Assignment Date and (iii) the aggregate principal balance of New Mortgage Loans that were refinanced with Seller or an affiliate thereof during the Related Collection Period, plus (b) the Carryover Retained Amount, minus (c) the applicable Replacement Shortfall.

Carryover Retained Amount: With respect to any Assignment Date beginning with the Assignment Date in the seventh calendar month after the Sale Date, the excess, if any, of the Maximum Retained Refinancing Loan Amount for the prior Assignment Date over the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans that were retained by Seller pursuant to this Section 3.03 on the prior Assignment Date.

Section 3.04 Selection Procedures.

(a) Not later than the Mortgage Loan Identification Date, Seller shall (i) notify Purchaser of the identity of each Current Mortgage Loan and each Mortgage Loan that became a Refinanced Mortgage Loan during the Related Collection Period, (ii) calculate the Excess Refinancing Percentage, the Refinancing Split Percentage, the Maximum Retained Refinancing Loan Amount and the Carryover Retained Amount for the following Assignment Date, and notify Purchaser of such amounts in writing, (iii) provide Purchaser with a list of potential Mortgage Loans (the “Available Portfolio”), selected on the basis that the Excess Refinancing Percentage is equal to zero, and (iv) provide Purchaser with a list of residential mortgage loans selected from the Available Portfolio to be designated as Mortgage Loans (the “Replacement Portfolio”) on the following Assignment Date and a list of residential mortgage loans selected from the Available Portfolio to be excluded from the pool of Mortgage Loans (the “Retained Portfolio”) on the following Assignment Date in accordance with Section 3.03.

(b) Purchaser may submit an objection to the proposed Available Portfolio, the proposed Replacement Portfolio or the proposed Retained Portfolio not later than five Business Days following receipt of the notice of the proposed portfolios pursuant to Section 3.04(a). If Purchaser submits an objection, Seller and Buyer shall work together in good faith over the next five Business Days (the “Selection Period”) to mutually agree on the Replacement Portfolio and the Retained Portfolio. During the Selection Period, Seller may suggest alternative Mortgage Loans that meet the criteria of Section 3.02. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree on a Replacement Portfolio and a Retained Portfolio (if applicable) by close of business on the Business Day prior to the Assignment Date, Seller and Purchaser may modify the percentages in the definitions of Future Excess Servicing Spread and Retained Servicing Spread and in the Priority of Payments, as applicable, to reflect the relative values that Seller and Purchaser would have had in the Future Excess Servicing Spread and Retained Servicing Spread but for the inability of Seller and Purchaser to mutually agree on such portfolios.

(c) Unless mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser, the Retained Portfolio and the Replacement Portfolio with respect to any Assignment Date shall satisfy the following criteria:

(i) The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the residential mortgage loans in the Retained Portfolio shall not exceed the Maximum Retained Refinancing Loan Amount;

(ii) The weighted average servicing fee rate for the residential mortgage loans in the Retained Portfolio shall be substantially equal to the weighted average servicing fee rate for the Mortgage Loans in the Replacement Portfolio;

(iii) The weighted average interest accrual rate per annum of the residential mortgage loans in the Retained Portfolio shall be within 12.5 basis points per annum of the weighted average interest rate of the Mortgage Loans in the Replacement Portfolio;

(iv) The weighted average final maturity date of the residential mortgage loans in the Retained Portfolio shall be within six months of the weighted average final maturity date of the Mortgage Loans in the Replacement Portfolio; and

(v) The remaining credit characteristics of the pool of residential mortgage loans in the Retained Portfolio (other than as specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above) shall be substantially the same as the credit characteristics of the pool of Mortgage Loans in the Replacement Portfolio.

(d) Exhibit B provides an example of the calculations to be made pursuant to Section 3.04(c)(i).

Section 3.05 Assignment of Future Excess Servicing Spread.

Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Agreement, on each Assignment Date, Seller shall execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement for the Future Excess Servicing Spread to be assigned on such Assignment Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans included in the applicable Replacement Portfolio; provided, however, that

(a) Purchaser shall be entitled to all Future Excess Servicing Spread and Seller shall be entitled to all Retained Servicing Spread arising with respect to each such Mortgage Loan on and after the Refinancing Date with respect to the related Refinanced Mortgage Loan,

(b) Seller shall deposit all Servicing Spread Collections received with respect to such Mortgage Loans on and after the Refinancing Date with respect to the related Refinanced Mortgage Loans into the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account not later than the Assignment Date, and

(c) for each Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after the Refinancing Date of the related Refinanced Mortgage Loan, Seller shall deposit all Servicing Spread Collections with respect to amounts prepaid at the time of closing of such Mortgage Loan, if applicable, into the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account not later than the Assignment Date.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.01 Purchase Price.

In full consideration for Purchaser’s right to receive any Future Excess Servicing Spread assigned to Purchaser, and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount (the “Purchase Price”) that shall be determined by the Parties on the Sale Date in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Current Spread Agreement.

Section 4.02 Payments by Purchaser.

Payment shall be made by Purchaser to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, to an account designated by Seller.

Section 4.03 Accounts.

(a) Lockbox Account. Seller shall inform the Mortgagors of Mortgage Loans to remit their mortgage payments to the Lockbox Account. Payments of all Servicing Spread Collections received on and after the first Assignment Date shall be transferred from the Lockbox Account to the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account within one Business Day of receipt and identification thereof and in any event, within two Business Days of receipt thereof. If Seller receives any Servicing Spread Collections not remitted to the Lockbox Account, it shall hold such funds in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and deposit such amounts to the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Account within two Business Days of receipt thereof.

(b) Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account.

(i) The Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account will be established with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association or with such other third party custodian or trustee selected by Purchaser, for the sole purpose of receiving and disbursing all Servicing Spread Collections, Sales Proceeds and Servicing Agreement termination payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account will be established pursuant to the Future Spread Custodial Account Control Agreement with respect to which Purchaser is an Entitlement Holder with Control. So long as permitted by the Future Spread Custodial Account Control Agreement, Seller may direct the disposition of funds in the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account strictly in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Upon any material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by Seller hereunder or during the occurrence and continuance of a Future Spread Reserve Account Deposit Event, Purchaser may elect to exercise Control over the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account. Seller agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary, including the filing of appropriate financing statements, to protect Purchaser’s interest in the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account.

(ii) Seller shall inform each Owner to remit the applicable portion of any Servicing Agreement termination payments payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans directly to the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account. Any termination payment to be directed to the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account shall be equal to the pro rata amount by which the Mortgage Loans affected by such termination bear to all mortgage loans of Seller affected by such termination, based upon the method in which such termination payments are calculated in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

(iii) If Seller is to receive any Sales Proceeds, Seller shall direct the Person making such payments to deposit such payments into the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account.

(iv) If Seller receives any amounts required to be deposited into the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account in error, Seller shall promptly remit such funds to the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account.

(c) Future Spread Reserve Account. The Future Spread Reserve Account will be established with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association or with such other third party custodian or trustee selected by Purchaser. The Future Spread Reserve Account will be established pursuant to the Future Spread Reserve Account Control Agreement with respect to which Purchaser is an Entitlement Holder with Control. So long as permitted by the Future Spread Reserve Account Control Agreement, Seller may direct the disposition of funds in the Future Spread Reserve Account strictly in accordance with Section 4.05. Seller agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary, including the filing of appropriate financing statements, to protect Purchaser’s interest in the Future Spread Reserve Account.

If at any time Seller’s Consolidated Tangible Net Worth falls below the sum of (x) $250,000,000 and (y) 50% of the proceeds from any issuance of equity on or after the date hereof by Seller, Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. or any of Seller’s consolidated subsidiaries or if Seller (considered together with its consolidated subsidiaries) defaults in any indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 (individually or in the aggregate) (each, a “Future Spread Reserve Account Deposit Event”), Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing that a Future Spread Reserve Account Deposit Event has occurred. On each Distribution Date upon which a Future Spread Reserve Account Deposit Event has occurred and is continuing, Seller shall be required to transfer funds in the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account to the Future Spread Reserve Account in accordance with the Priority of Payments until the amount of funds in the Future Spread Reserve Account is equal to the Future Spread Reserve Account Required Amount. The “Future Spread Reserve Account Required Amount” is equal to 25% of the fair market value as of the date the Future Spread Reserve Account Deposit Event that is then-continuing first occurred of the Total Servicing Spread expected to be paid over the expected remaining life of the Mortgage Loans (the “Remaining Expected Total Servicing Spread”) determined in accordance with the following paragraph. Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing if a Future Spread Reserve Account Deposit Event is no longer continuing. Any funds in the Future Spread Reserve Account in excess of the Future Spread Reserve Account Required Amount shall be released to Seller.

For purposes of determining the fair market value of the Remaining Expected Total Servicing Spread, Purchaser shall submit its claim for determination of the fair market value of the Remaining Expected Total Servicing Spread, together with such back-up information it deems appropriate to justify such fair market value (which value shall be considered the fair market value of the Remaining Expected Total Servicing Spread for purposes of calculating the Future Spread Reserve Account Required Amount until the final determination of such fair market value in accordance with this paragraph). Within five (5) Business Days of Seller’s

receipt of such determination, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of its acceptance or any objection to such determination of such fair market value, and if Seller objects to such determination, such notice shall include its own determination of such fair market value and any back-up information as it deems appropriate to justify such fair market value (an “Objection Notice”). In the event an Objection Notice is delivered, the parties shall negotiate in good faith a resolution to such objection. In the event that Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve such objection within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such Objection Notice, Seller and Purchaser shall appoint a mutually acceptable nationally recognized valuation expert to determine such fair market value of the Remaining Expected Total Servicing Spread. The determination of such valuation expert shall be binding on Seller and Purchaser and the fees of such valuation expert shall be borne by Seller.

Section 4.04 Priority of Payments.

On each Business Day, subject to the terms and conditions of the Future Spread Custodial Account Control Agreement, Seller (or, after the delivery of an access termination notice pursuant to the Future Spread Custodial Account Control Agreement, Purchaser) shall direct the Bank to apply the monies in the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account in the following order of priority (the “Priority of Payments”), in every case, after giving effect to each prior item in the Priority of Payments on such Distribution Date:

(b) second, on any Business Day from and including the first Business Day of a calendar month to but excluding the Distribution Date in such calendar month, at the option of Seller, the Base Servicing Fee payable with respect to a prior Collection Period for the Mortgage Loans to Seller; provided however, that, to the extent that (i) the Seller is not permitted or is otherwise unable to advance servicing fees relating to the Total Servicing Spread with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced under the related Servicing Agreement, (ii) the related Servicing Agreement does not permit payment of servicing fees from general collections, and (iii) the related Servicing Agreement does not allocate liquidation proceeds to servicing fees first, payments from monies in the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account relating to the affected Mortgage Loans shall be made pursuant to clause (d) below prior to this clause (b);

(c) third, on each Distribution Date, to the extent not previously paid to Seller in accordance with Section 4.04(b), any accrued and unpaid Base Servicing Fee to Seller; provided however, that, to the extent that (i) the Seller is not permitted or is otherwise unable to advance servicing fees relating to the Total Servicing Spread with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced under the related Servicing Agreement, (ii) the related Servicing Agreement does not permit payment of servicing fees from general collections, and (iii) the related Servicing Agreement does not allocate liquidation proceeds to servicing fees first, payments from monies in the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account relating to the affected Mortgage Loans shall be made pursuant to clause (d) below prior to this clause (c);

(d) fourth, on each Distribution Date, pro rata, (A) to Purchaser, any Future Excess Servicing Spread for the prior Collection Period (other than the portion thereof consisting of termination payments paid pursuant to Section 4.04(a)); and (B) to Seller, any Retained Servicing Spread for the prior Collection Period (other than the portion thereof consisting of termination payments paid pursuant to Section 4.04(a)); provided, that (I) prior to the distribution to Purchaser of any Future Excess Servicing Spread pursuant to clause (A), the Future Excess Servicing Spread shall be applied to the payment of any indemnity payments then due and payable to a Seller Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.02, and (II) prior to the distribution to Seller of any Retained Servicing Spread pursuant to clause (B), the Retained Servicing Spread shall be applied first, to the payment of any indemnity payments then due and payable to a Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.01 and second, for deposit to the Future Spread Reserve Account to the extent necessary to cause the amount of funds on deposit in the Future Spread Reserve Account to equal the Future Spread Reserve Account Required Amount; and

(e) fifth, on each Distribution Date, to Seller, any other amounts remaining on deposit in the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account.

All payments to Purchaser or Seller shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable.

Section 4.05 Withdrawals from the Future Spread Reserve Account.

On any Business Day, at the instruction of Purchaser, Seller shall direct the Bank to apply funds in the Future Spread Reserve Account, if any, to the payment of indemnity payments payable to a Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.01. If on any Business Day a Future Spread Reserve Account Deposit Event is not then continuing and all outstanding indemnity payments payable to Purchaser Indemnitees have been paid in full, Seller may direct the Bank to distribute any remaining funds in the Future Spread Reserve Account to, or as directed by, Seller. If there are any funds remaining in the Future Spread Reserve Account after the Future Excess Servicing Spread and all indemnity payments payable to Purchaser Indemnitees have been paid in full, Seller shall direct the Bank to distribute such remaining funds to, or as directed by, Seller.

Section 4.06 Payment to Seller of Base Servicing Fee.

(a) Seller shall be entitled to payment of the Base Servicing Fee only to the extent funds are available therefor in the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser be liable to Seller for payment of the Base Servicing Fee. In the event servicing of the Mortgage Loans is transferred to sub-servicers for any reason, the servicing fees and expenses of such sub-servicers shall be paid by Seller and in no event will the amount of Servicing Spread Collections or termination payments otherwise allocable to the Future Excess Servicing Spread be reduced due to the payment of sub-servicing fees and expenses.

(b) The Base Servicing Fee with respect to a Mortgage Loan shall begin to accrue as of the Collection Period prior to the applicable Assignment Date. In no event shall Base Servicing Fees accrue concurrently on any day for a Refinanced Mortgage Loan and for a Mortgage Loan.

Section 4.07 Correction of Principal Balance Error.

If, subsequent to the payment of any amounts due hereunder to either party, the outstanding principal balance of any Mortgage Loan is found to be in error, the party benefiting from the error shall pay an amount sufficient to correct and reconcile such amounts and shall provide a reconciliation statement and other such documentation to reasonably satisfy the other party concerning the accuracy of such reconciliation. Such amounts shall be paid by the proper party within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of satisfactory written verification of amounts due.

Section 4.08 Intent and Characterization.

(a) Seller and Purchaser intend that the assignments of the Future Excess Servicing Spread pursuant to this Agreement and each Assignment Agreement constitute valid sales of such Future Excess Servicing Spread from Seller to Purchaser, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens, and that the beneficial interest in and title to such Future Excess Servicing Spread not be part of Seller’s estate in the event of the bankruptcy of Seller. Seller and Purchaser intend and agree to treat the transfer and assignment of the Future Excess Servicing Spread as an absolute sale for tax purposes, and as an absolute and complete conveyance of title for property law purposes. Except for financial accounting purposes, neither party intends the transactions contemplated hereby to be characterized as a loan from Purchaser to Seller.

(b) In the event (but only in the event) that the conveyance of the Future Excess Servicing Spread is characterized by a court or governmental authority as security for a loan rather than a sale, Seller will be deemed to have granted to Purchaser, and Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Future Excess Servicing Spread and all proceeds thereof as security for a loan in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price (as defined in the Current Spread Agreement).

(a) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser, its affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) harmless from and shall reimburse the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee for any Losses suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee after the Agreement Date which result from:

(i) Any material breach of a representation or warranty by Seller, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Seller, contained in this Agreement;

(ii) Any servicing act or omission of any prior servicer relating to any Mortgage Loan and any act or omission of any party related to the origination of any Mortgage Loan;

(iii) Any act, error or omission of Seller in servicing any of the Mortgage Loans, including improper action or failure to act when required to do so;

(iv) Any exercise of any rights of setoff or other netting arrangements by any Owner against Seller that results in a decrease in Servicing Agreement termination payments due to Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans from such Owner or in a shortfall of funds to pay the Future Excess Servicing Spread; and

(v) Litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions or decrees resulting from any of the items described in Section 11.01(a)(i)-(iv) above;

provided, however, that the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee has taken all commercially reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses as reasonably requested by Seller, which such failure of mitigation shall not relieve Seller of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.01(a) but may affect the amount of such obligation; and further provided, that any Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to any attempt to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses shall be reimbursed by Seller as part of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.01(a). Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions, decrees or any third party claims subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”). Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, Seller shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee, but may not enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel and to otherwise separately defend itself at its own expense but shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any exercise of such rights by a Purchaser Indemnitee shall not relieve Seller of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 11.01(a) or any other provision of this Agreement. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee shall be required to cooperate in good faith with Seller to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third-Party Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s obligations for Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be limited to funds available in the Third Party Controlled Future Spread Custodial Account or the Future Spread Reserve Account.

(b) REIT Requirements. Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01(a), in the event that counsel or independent accountants for the Protected REIT determine that there exists a material risk that any amounts due to Purchaser under Section 11.01(a) hereof would be treated as Nonqualifying Income upon the payment of such amounts to Purchaser, the amount paid to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement in any tax year shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be paid to Purchaser in such year without causing the Protected REIT to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for such year, determined as if the payment of such amount were Nonqualifying Income as determined by such counsel or independent accountants to the Protected REIT. If the amount payable for any tax year under the preceding sentence is less than the amount which Seller would otherwise be obligated to pay to Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.01 of this Agreement (the “Expense Amount”), then: (1) Seller shall place the Expense Amount into an escrow account (the “Expense Escrow Account”) using an escrow agent and agreement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and shall not release any portion thereof to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to any such amount, unless and until Purchaser delivers to Seller, at the sole option of the Protected REIT, (i) an opinion (an “Expense Amount Tax Opinion”) of the Protected REIT’s tax counsel to the effect that such amount, if and to the extent paid, would not constitute Nonqualifying Income, (ii) a letter (an “Expense Amount Accountant’s Letter”) from the Protected REIT’s independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid at that time to Purchaser without causing the Protected REIT to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for any relevant taxable year, or (iii) a private letter ruling issued by the IRS to the Protected REIT indicating that the receipt of any Expense Amount hereunder will not cause the Protected REIT to fail to satisfy the REIT Requirements (a “REIT Qualification Ruling” and, collectively with an Expense Amount Tax Opinion and an Expense Amount Accountant’s Letter, a “Release Document”); and (2) pending the delivery of a Release Document by Purchaser to Seller, Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to borrow the Expense Amount from the Escrow Account pursuant to a loan agreement (an “Indemnity Loan Agreement”) reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that (i) requires Seller to lend Purchaser immediately available cash proceeds in an amount equal to the Expense Amount (an “Indemnity Loan”), and (ii) provides for (A) a commercially reasonable interest rate and commercially reasonable covenants, taking into account the credit standing and profile of Purchaser or any guarantor of Purchaser, including the Protected REIT, at the time of such Loan, and (B) a 15 year maturity with no periodic amortization.

Section 11.02 Indemnification by Purchaser.

Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors (the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and shall reimburse the applicable Seller Indemnitee for any Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee which result from:

(a) Any material breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and

(b) Litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions or decrees, the basis for which occurred after the Agreement Date, resulting from any of the items described in Section 11.02(a) above;

provided, however, that the applicable Seller Indemnitee has taken all commercially reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses as reasonably requested by Purchaser, which such failure of mitigation shall not relieve Purchaser of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.02 but may affect the amount of such obligation; and further provided, that any Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitee pursuant to any attempt to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses shall be reimbursed by Purchaser as part of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.02. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions, decrees or any third party claims subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”). Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Seller Indemnitee, but may not enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Seller Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel and to otherwise separately defend itself but shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any exercise of such rights by a Seller Indemnitee shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 11.02 or any other provision of this Agreement. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the applicable Seller Indemnitee shall be required to cooperate in good faith with Purchaser to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third-Party Claim.

Section 11.03 Other Rights.

The Seller hereby acknowledges that, in addition to its rights under this Agreement, the Purchaser is entitled to exercise its rights under the related Owner Consent.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01 Costs and Expenses.

Purchaser and Seller shall each pay the expenses incurred by it or its affiliates pursuant to the Current Spread Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 12.02 Confidentiality.

Each Party understands that in connection with this transaction, it has been furnished and will be furnished Non-Public Personal Information and/or Personally Identifiable Financial Information (as those terms are defined in Sections 573.3(n) and (o) of the Office of Thrift

Supervision Regulations on Privacy of Consumer Information published at 12 C.F.R. Chapter V implementing Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), and other information regarding the policies and plans of the other Party and its affiliates that is and has been designated as confidential and proprietary, and each Party agrees that it will maintain the confidentiality of such information and will not disclose it to others (except for its affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, financing sources, agents, representatives and advisors), or use it except in connection with the proposed acquisition contemplated by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Party furnishing such information. Information which is generally known in the industry concerning a Party or among such Party’s creditors generally or which has been disclosed to the other Party by third parties who have a right to do so shall not be deemed confidential or proprietary information for these purposes. If Purchaser, any of its affiliates or any officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing is at any time requested or required to disclose any information supplied to it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with prompt notice of such request(s) so that Seller may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive Purchaser’s compliance with the terms of this Section 12.02. If Seller, any of its affiliates or any officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing is at any time requested or required to disclose any information supplied to it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such request(s) so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive Seller’s compliance with the terms of this Section 12.02. Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 12.02, if, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Purchaser or Seller is nonetheless, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose information concerning the other Party to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Purchaser or Seller may disclose such information to such tribunal without liability hereunder. If the proposed acquisition is not consummated, each Party agrees to promptly return to the other, promptly upon request, all confidential materials, and all copies thereof, which have been furnished to it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, either Party may provide its shareholders and creditors with a general description of this Agreement and any related transactions, and, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.02, information obtained from the reports provided by Seller pursuant to Section 8.07.

Section 12.03 Broker’s Fees.

Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other that it has made no agreement to pay any finder’s, agent’s, broker’s or originator’s fee arising out of or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser has entered or enters into an agreement to pay any finder’s, agent’s, broker’s, advisor’s or originator’s fee arising out of or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all such fees. The parties hereto shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against any such obligation or liability and any expense incurred in investigating or defending (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) any claim based upon the other party’s actions in connection with such obligation.

Section 12.04 Relationship of Parties.

Section 12.14 Severability of Provisions.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the rights of the parties hereto.

Section 12.15 Assignment.

(a) Seller may not assign, transfer, sell or subcontract all or any part of this Agreement, any interest herein, or any of the Seller’s interest in the Servicing Spread Collections, other than the interest in the Total Servicing Spread sold hereby, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, provided that any successor to Seller must assume Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. Purchaser shall have the unrestricted right to further assign, transfer, deliver, hypothecate, pledge, subdivide or otherwise deal with its rights under this Agreement on whatever terms Purchaser shall determine without the consent of Seller; including the right to assign all or any portion of the Future Excess Servicing Spread and to assign the related rights under this Agreement. If Purchaser assigns any rights under this Agreement to a third party (a “Third Party Assignment“), such third party (a “Third Party Assignee“) shall enter into a new agreement (a “Third Party Future Spread Agreement“) with Seller or Seller’s assignee that provides such Third Party Assignee with the same rights with respect to the Future Excess Servicing Spread that Purchaser would have had under this Agreement if the Third Party Assignment had not occurred.

(b) Seller shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each holder of the Future Excess Servicing Spread and each holder’s interest in the Future Excess Servicing Spread (the “Holder Register”) for each transaction described in Section 12.15(a). The entries in the Holder Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Holder Register as an owner of the Future Excess Servicing Spread for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions of the Future Spread Agreement for FHLMC Mortgage Loans, dated as of January 6, 2013 (the “Agreement”), by and between Nationstar Mortgage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Seller”) and MSR IX LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors assigns, the “Purchaser”), as may be amended, restated, or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, Seller hereby assigns, transfers and delivers to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to Future Excess Servicing Spread for each of the Mortgage Loans set forth in Annex A attached hereto and all proceeds thereof, and agrees that as of the applicable Assignment Date, the applicable Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be a “Mortgage Loan” for all purposes of the Agreement.
