EXHIBIT A

Settlement Term Sheet

The provisions outlined below are intended to apply to loans secured by owner-occupied properties that serve as the primary residence of the borrower unless otherwise noted herein.


I.	Foreclosure and Bankruptcy Information and Documentation.

Unless otherwise specified, these provisions shall apply to bankruptcy and foreclosures in all jurisdictions regardless of whether the jurisdiction has a judicial, non-judicial or quasi-judicial process for foreclosures and regardless of whether a statement is submitted during the foreclosure or bankruptcy process in the form of an affidavit, sworn statement or declarations under penalty of perjury (to the extent stated to be based on personal knowledge) (“Declaration”).


A.	Standards for Documents Used in Foreclosure and Bankruptcy Proceedings.

Servicer shall ensure that factual assertions made in pleadings (complaint, counterclaim, cross-claim, answer or similar pleadings), bankruptcy proofs of claim (including any facts provided by Servicer or based on information provided by the Servicer that are included in any attachment and submitted to establish the truth of such facts) (“POC”), Declarations, affidavits, and sworn statements filed by or on behalf of Servicer in judicial foreclosures or bankruptcy proceedings and notices of default, notices of sale and similar notices submitted by or on behalf of Servicer in non-judicial foreclosures are accurate and complete and are supported by competent and reliable evidence. Before a loan is referred to non-judicial foreclosure, Servicer shall ensure that it has reviewed competent and reliable evidence to substantiate the borrower's default and the right to foreclose, including the borrower's loan status and loan information.


2.	Servicer shall ensure that affidavits, sworn statements, and Declarations are based on personal knowledge, which may be based on the affiant's review of Servicer's books and records, in accordance with the evidentiary requirements of applicable state or federal law.

Servicer shall ensure that affidavits, sworn statements and Declarations executed by Servicer's affiants are based on the affiant's review and personal knowledge of the accuracy and completeness of the assertions in the affidavit, sworn statement or Declaration, set out facts that Servicer reasonably believes would be admissible in evidence, and show that the affiant is competent to testify on the matters stated. Affiants shall confirm that they have reviewed competent and reliable evidence to substantiate the borrower's default and the right to foreclose, including the borrower's loan status and required loan ownership information. If an affiant relies on a review of business records for the basis of its affidavit, the referenced business record shall be attached if required by applicable state or federal law or court rule. This provision does not apply to affidavits, sworn statements and Declarations signed by counsel based solely on counsel's personal knowledge (such as affidavits of counsel relating to service of process, extensions of time, or fee petitions) that are not based on a review of Servicer's books and records. Separate affidavits, sworn statements or Declarations shall be used when one affiant does not have requisite personal knowledge of all required information.

Servicer shall have standards for qualifications, training and supervision of employees. Servicer shall train and supervise employees who regularly prepare or execute affidavits, sworn statements or Declarations. Each such employee shall sign a certification that he or she has received the training. Servicer shall oversee the training completion to ensure each required employee properly and timely completes such training. Servicer shall maintain written records confirming that each such employee has completed the training and the subjects covered by the training.

Servicer shall review and approve standardized forms of affidavits, standardized forms of sworn statements, and standardized forms of Declarations prepared by or signed by an employee or officer of Servicer, or executed by a third party using a power of attorney on behalf of Servicer, to ensure compliance with applicable law, rules, court procedure, and the terms of this Agreement (“the Agreement”).


6.	Affidavits, sworn statements and Declarations shall accurately identify the name of the affiant, the entity of which the affiant is an employee, and the affiant's title.


7.	Affidavits, sworn statements and Declarations, including their notarization, shall fully comply with all applicable state law requirements.


8.	Affidavits, sworn statements and Declarations shall not contain information that is false or unsubstantiated. This requirement shall not preclude Declarations based on information and belief where so stated.


9.	Servicer shall assess and ensure that it has an adequate number of employees and that employees have reasonable time to prepare, verify, and execute pleadings, POCs, motions for relief from stay (“MRS”), affidavits, sworn statements and Declarations.


10.	Servicer shall not pay volume-based or other incentives to employees or third-party providers or trustees that encourage undue haste or lack of due diligence over quality.


11.	Affiants shall be individuals, not entities, and affidavits, sworn statements and Declarations shall be signed by hand signature of the affiant (except for permitted electronic filings). For such documents, except for permitted electronic filings, signature stamps and any other means of electronic or mechanical signature are prohibited.


12.	At the time of execution, all information required by a form affidavit, sworn statement or Declaration shall be complete.


13.	Affiants shall date their signatures on affidavits, sworn statements or Declarations.


14.	Servicer shall maintain records that identify all notarizations of Servicer documents executed by each notary employed by Servicer.

15.

Servicer shall not file a POC in a bankruptcy proceeding which, when filed, contained materially inaccurate information. In cases in which such a POC may have been filed, Servicer shall not rely on such POC and shall (a) in active cases, at Servicer's expense, take appropriate action, consistent with state and federal law and court procedure, to substitute such POC with an amended POC as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, not more than 30 days) after acquiring actual knowledge of such material inaccuracy and provide appropriate written notice to the borrower or borrower's counsel; and (b) in other cases, at Servicer's expense, take appropriate action after acquiring actual knowledge of such material inaccuracy.


16.	Servicer shall not rely on an affidavit of indebtedness or similar affidavit, sworn statement or Declaration filed in a pending pre-judgment judicial foreclosure or

A-2

bankruptcy proceeding which (a) was required to be based on the affiant's review and personal knowledge of its accuracy but was not, (b) was not, when so required, properly notarized, or (c) contained materially inaccurate information in order to obtain a judgment of foreclosure, order of sale, relief from the automatic stay or other relief in bankruptcy. In pending cases in which such affidavits, sworn statements or Declarations may have been filed, Servicer shall, at Servicer's expense, take appropriate action, consistent with state and federal law and court procedure, to substitute such affidavits with new affidavits and provide appropriate written notice to the borrower or borrower's counsel.

17.

In pending post-judgment, pre-sale cases in judicial foreclosure proceedings in which an affidavit or sworn statement was filed which was required to be based on the affiant's review and personal knowledge of its accuracy but may not have been, or that may not have, when so required, been properly notarized, and such affidavit or sworn statement has not been re-filed, Servicer, unless prohibited by state or local law or court rule, will provide written notice to borrower at borrower's address of record or borrower's counsel prior to proceeding with a foreclosure sale or eviction proceeding.

18.

In all states, Servicer shall send borrowers a statement setting forth facts supporting Servicer's or holder's right to foreclose and containing the information required in paragraphs I.B.6 (items available upon borrower request), I.B.10 (account statement), I.C.2 and I.C.3 (ownership statement), and IV.B.13 (loss mitigation statement) herein. Servicer shall send this statement to the borrower in one or more communications no later than 14 days prior to referral to foreclosure attorney or foreclosure trustee. Servicer shall provide the Monitoring Committee with copies of proposed form statements for review before implementation.


B.	Requirements for Accuracy and Verification of Borrower's Account Information.


1.	Servicer shall maintain procedures to ensure accuracy and timely updating of borrower's account information, including posting of payments and imposition of fees. Servicer shall also maintain adequate documentation of borrower account information, which may be in either electronic or paper format.

For any loan on which interest is calculated based on a daily accrual or daily interest method and as to which any obligor is not a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding without reaffirmation, Servicer shall promptly accept and apply all borrower payments, including cure payments (where authorized by law or contract), trial modification payments, as well as non-conforming payments, unless such application conflicts with contract provisions or prevailing law. Servicer shall ensure that properly identified payments shall be posted no more than two business days after receipt at the address specified by Servicer and credited as of the date received to borrower's account. Each monthly payment shall be applied in the order specified in the loan documents.

For any loan on which interest is not calculated based on a daily accrual or daily interest method and as to which any obligor is not a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding without reaffirmation, Servicer shall promptly accept and apply all borrower conforming payments, including cure payments (where authorized by law or contract), unless such application conflicts with contract provisions or prevailing law. Servicer shall continue to accept trial modification payments consistent with existing payment application practices. Servicer shall ensure that properly identified payments shall be posted no more than two business days after receipt at the address specified by Servicer. Each monthly payment shall be applied in the

A-3

order specified in the loan documents.


a.	Servicer shall accept and apply at least two non-conforming payments from the borrower, in accordance with this subparagraph, when the payment, whether on its own or when combined with a payment made by another source, comes within $50.00 of the scheduled payment, including principal and interest and, where applicable, taxes and insurance.

Except for payments described in paragraph I.B.3.a, Servicer may post partial payments to a suspense or unapplied funds account, provided that Servicer (1) discloses to the borrower the existence of and any activity in the suspense or unapplied funds account; (2) credits the borrower's account with a full payment as of the date that the funds in the suspense or unapplied funds account are sufficient to cover such full payment; and (3) applies payments as required by the terms of the loan documents. Servicer shall not take funds from suspense or unapplied funds accounts to pay fees until all unpaid contractual interest, principal, and escrow amounts are paid and brought current or other final disposition of the loan.


4.	Notwithstanding the provisions above, Servicer shall not be required to accept payments which are insufficient to pay the full balance due after the borrower has been provided written notice that the contract has been declared in default and the remaining payments due under the contract have been accelerated.


5.	Servicer shall provide to borrowers (other than borrowers in bankruptcy or borrowers who have been referred to or are going through foreclosure) adequate information on monthly billing or other account statements to show in clear and conspicuous language:


a.	total amount due;


b.	allocation of payments, including a notation if any payment has been posted to a “suspense or unapplied funds account”;


c.	unpaid principal;


d.	fees and charges for the relevant time period;


e.	current escrow balance; and


f.	reasons for any payment changes, including an interest rate or escrow account adjustment, no later than 21 days before the new amount is due (except in the case of loans as to which interest accrues daily or the rate changes more frequently than once every 30 days);

Statements as described above are not required to be delivered with respect to any fixed rate residential mortgage loan as to which the borrower is provided a coupon book.


6.	In the statements described in paragraphs I.A.18 and III.B.1.a, Servicer shall notify borrowers that they may receive, upon written request:


a.	A copy of the borrower's payment history since the borrower was last less than 60 days past due;


b.	A copy of the borrower's note;


c.	If Servicer has commenced foreclosure or filed a POC, copies of any assignments of mortgage or deed of trust required to demonstrate the right to foreclose on the borrower's note under applicable state law; and


d.	The name of the investor that holds the borrower's loan.


7.	Servicer shall adopt enhanced billing dispute procedures, including for disputes regarding fees. These procedures will include:

A-4


a.	Establishing readily available methods for customers to lodge complaints and pose questions, such as by providing toll-free numbers and accepting disputes by email;


b.	Assessing and ensuring adequate and competent staff to answer and respond to consumer disputes promptly;


c.	Establishing a process for dispute escalation;


d.	Tracking the resolution of complaints; and


e.	Providing a toll-free number on monthly billing statements.


8.	Servicer shall take appropriate action to promptly remediate any inaccuracies in borrowers' account information, including:


a.	Correcting the account information;


b.	Providing cash refunds or account credits; and


c.	Correcting inaccurate reports to consumer credit reporting agencies.


9.	Servicer's systems to record account information shall be periodically independently reviewed for accuracy and completeness by an independent reviewer.


10.	As indicated in paragraph I.A.18, Servicer shall send the borrower an itemized plain language account summary setting forth each of the following items, to the extent applicable:


a.	The total amount needed to reinstate or bring the account current, and the amount of the principal obligation under the mortgage;


b.	The date through which the borrower's obligation is paid;


c.	The date of the last full payment;


d.	The current interest rate in effect for the loan (if the rate is effective for at least 30 days);


e.	The date on which the interest rate may next reset or adjust (unless the rate changes more frequently than once every 30 days);


f.	The amount of any prepayment fee to be charged, if any;


g.	A description of any late payment fees;


h.	A telephone number or electronic mail address that may be used by the obligor to obtain information regarding the mortgage; and


i.	The names, addresses, telephone numbers, and Internet addresses of one or more counseling agencies or programs approved by HUD (http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm).


11.	In active chapter 13 cases, Servicer shall ensure that:

b.	the debtor is treated as being current so long as the debtor is making payments in accordance with the terms of the then-effective confirmed plan and any later effective payment change notices; and

as of the date of dismissal of a debtor's bankruptcy case, entry of an order granting Servicer relief from the stay, or entry of an order granting the debtor a discharge, there is a reconciliation of payments received with respect to the debtor's obligations during the case and appropriately update the Servicer's systems of record. In connection with such reconciliation, Servicer shall reflect the waiver of any fee, expense or charge pursuant to paragraphs III.B.1.c.i or III.B.1.d.

A-5


C.	Documentation of Note, Holder Status and Chain of Assignment.

2.	Servicer shall include a statement in a pleading, affidavit of indebtedness or similar affidavits in court foreclosure proceedings setting forth the basis for asserting that the foreclosing party has the right to foreclose.


3.	Servicer shall set forth the information establishing the party's right to foreclose as set forth in I.C.2 in a communication to be sent to the borrower as indicated in I.A.18.

If the original note is lost or otherwise unavailable, Servicer shall comply with applicable law in an attempt to establish ownership of the note and the right to enforcement. Servicer shall ensure good faith efforts to obtain or locate a note lost while in the possession of Servicer or Servicer's agent and shall ensure that Servicer and Servicer's agents who are expected to have possession of notes or assignments of mortgage on behalf of Servicer adopt procedures that are designed to provide assurance that the Servicer or Servicer's agent would locate a note or assignment of mortgage if it is in the possession or control of the Servicer or Servicer's agent, as the case may be. In the event that Servicer prepares or causes to be prepared a lost note or lost assignment affidavit with respect to an original note or assignment lost while in Servicer's control, Servicer shall use good faith efforts to obtain or locate the note or assignment in accordance with its procedures. In the affidavit, sworn statement or other filing documenting the lost note or assignment, Servicer shall recite that Servicer has made a good faith effort in accordance with its procedures for locating the lost note or assignment.

Unless not permitted by statute or rule, Servicer shall ensure that each POC is documented by attaching:

The original or a duplicate of the note, including all indorsements; a copy of any mortgage or deed of trust securing the notes (including, if applicable, evidence of recordation in the applicable land records); and copies of any assignments of mortgage or deed of trust required to demonstrate the right to foreclose on the borrower's note under applicable state law (collectively, “Loan Documents”). If the note has been lost or destroyed, a lost note affidavit shall be submitted.


b.	If, in addition to its principal amount, a claim includes interest, fees, expenses, or other charges incurred before the petition was filed, an itemized statement of the interest, fees, expenses, or charges shall be filed with the proof of claim (including any expenses or charges based on an escrow analysis as of the date of filing) at least in the detail specified in the

A-6

current draft of Official Form B 10 (effective December 2011) (“Official Form B 10”) Attachment A.

b.	To the extent not previously submitted with a POC, Servicer shall include a statement in an MRS setting forth the basis for asserting that the applicable party has the right to foreclose.


c.	An affidavit, sworn statement or Declaration made by Servicer or based on information provided by Servicer (“MRS affidavit” (which term includes, without limitation, any facts provided by Servicer that are included in any attachment and submitted to establish the truth of such facts) setting forth:


i.	whether there has been a default in paying pre-petition arrearage or post-petition amounts (an “MRS delinquency”);

ii.

if there has been such a default, (a) the unpaid principal balance, (b) a description of any default with respect to the pre-petition arrearage, (c) a description of any default with respect to the post-petition amount (including, if applicable, any escrow shortage), (d) the amount of the pre-petition arrearage (if applicable), (e) the post-petition payment amount , (f) for the period since the date of the first post-petition or pre-petition default that is continuing and has not been cured, the date and amount of each payment made (including escrow payments) and the application of each such payment, and (g) the amount, date and description of each fee or charge applied to such pre-petition amount or post-petition amount since the later of the date of the petition or the preceding statement pursuant to paragraph III.B.1.a; and

A-7

whether the debtor is being evaluated for a loss mitigation option.


E.	Quality Assurance Systems Review.

Servicer shall conduct regular reviews, not less than quarterly, of a statistically valid sample of affidavits, sworn statements, Declarations filed by or on behalf of Servicer in judicial foreclosures or bankruptcy proceedings and notices of default, notices of sale and similar notices submitted in non-judicial foreclosures to ensure that the documents are accurate and comply with prevailing law and this Agreement.

The reviews shall also verify the accuracy of the statements in affidavits, sworn statements, Declarations and documents used to foreclose in non-judicial foreclosures, the account summary described in paragraph I.B.10, the ownership statement described in paragraph I.C.2, and the loss mitigation statement described in paragraph IV.B.13 by reviewing the underlying information. Servicer shall take appropriate remedial steps if deficiencies are identified, including appropriate remediation in individual cases.


b.	The reviews shall also verify the accuracy of the statements in affidavits, sworn statements and Declarations submitted in bankruptcy proceedings. Servicer shall take appropriate remedial steps if deficiencies are identified, including appropriate remediation in individual cases.


2.	The quality assurance steps set forth above shall be conducted by Servicer employees who are separate and independent of employees who prepare foreclosure or bankruptcy affidavits, sworn statements, or other foreclosure or bankruptcy documents.

Servicer shall conduct regular pre-filing reviews of a statistically valid sample of POCs to ensure that the POCs are accurate and comply with prevailing law and this Agreement. The reviews shall also verify the accuracy of the statements in POCs. Servicer shall take appropriate remedial steps if deficiencies are identified, including appropriate remediation in individual cases. The pre-filing review shall be conducted by Servicer employees who are separate and independent of the persons who prepared the applicable POCs.


4.	Servicer shall regularly review and assess the adequacy of its internal controls and procedures with respect to its obligations under this Agreement, and implement appropriate procedures to address deficiencies.

A.	Oversight Duties Applicable to All Third-Party Providers.

Servicer shall adopt policies and processes to oversee and manage foreclosure firms, law firms, foreclosure trustees, subservicers and other agents, independent contractors, entities and third parties (including subsidiaries and affiliates) retained by or on behalf of Servicer that provide foreclosure, bankruptcy or mortgage servicing activities (including loss mitigation) (collectively, such activities are “Servicing Activities” and such providers are “Third-Party Providers”), including:


1.	Servicer shall perform appropriate due diligence of Third-Party Providers' qualifications, expertise, capacity, reputation, complaints, information security, document custody practices, business continuity, and financial viability.


2.	Servicer shall amend agreements, engagement letters, or oversight policies, or enter into new agreements or engagement letters, with Third-Party Providers to require them to comply with Servicer's applicable policies and procedures (which will

A-8

incorporate any applicable aspects of this Agreement) and applicable state and federal laws and rules.


3.	Servicer shall ensure that agreements, contracts or oversight policies provide for adequate oversight, including measures to enforce Third-Party Provider contractual obligations, and to ensure timely action with respect to Third-Party Provider performance failures.


4.	Servicer shall ensure that foreclosure and bankruptcy counsel and foreclosure trustees have appropriate access to information from Servicer's books and records necessary to perform their duties in preparing pleadings and other documents submitted in foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings.


5.	Servicer shall ensure that all information provided by or on behalf of Servicer to Third-Party Providers in connection with providing Servicing Activities is accurate and complete.

b.	A review of the fees and costs assessed by the Third-Party Provider to provide that only fees and costs that are lawful, reasonable and actually incurred are charged to borrowers and that no portion of any fees or charges incurred by any Third-Party Provider for technology usage, connectivity, or electronic invoice submission is charged as a cost to the borrower;

Servicer shall require a certification process for law firms (and recertification of existing law firm providers) that provide residential mortgage foreclosure and bankruptcy services for Servicer, on a periodic basis, as qualified to serve as a Third-Party Provider to Servicer, including that attorneys have the experience and competence necessary to perform the services requested.

3.	Servicer shall ensure that foreclosure and bankruptcy counsel and foreclosure trustees have an appropriate Servicer contact to assist in legal proceedings and to facilitate loss mitigation questions on behalf of the borrower.


4.	Servicer shall adopt policies requiring Third-Party Providers to maintain records that identify all notarizations of Servicer documents executed by each notary employed by the Third-Party Provider.


III.	Bankruptcy.


A.	General.


1.	The provisions, conditions and obligations imposed herein are intended to be interpreted in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. Nothing herein shall require a Servicer to do anything inconsistent with applicable state or federal law, including the applicable bankruptcy law or a court order in a bankruptcy case.


2.	Servicer shall ensure that employees who are regularly engaged in servicing mortgage loans as to which the borrower or mortgagor is in bankruptcy receive training specifically addressing bankruptcy issues.


B.	Chapter 13 Cases.


1.	In any chapter 13 case, Servicer shall ensure that:

So long as the debtor is in a chapter 13 case, within 180 days after the date on which the fees, expenses, or charges are incurred, file and serve on the debtor, debtor's counsel, and the trustee a notice in a form consistent with Official Form B10 (Supplement 2) itemizing fees, expenses, or charges (1) that were incurred in connection with the claim after the bankruptcy case was filed, (2) that the holder asserts are recoverable against the debtor or against the debtor's principal residence, and (3) that the holder intends to collect from the debtor.


b.	Servicer replies within time periods established under bankruptcy law to any notice that the debtor has completed all payments under the plan or otherwise paid in full the amount required to cure any pre-petition default.


c.	If the Servicer fails to provide information as required by paragraph III.B.1.a with respect to a fee, expense or charge within 180 days of the incurrence of such fee, expense, or charge, then,


i.	Except for independent charges (“Independent charge”) paid by the Servicer that is either (A) specifically authorized by the borrower or (B) consists of amounts advanced by Servicer in respect of taxes, homeowners association fees, liens or insurance, such fee, expense or charge shall be deemed waived and may not be collected from the borrower.


ii.	In the case of an Independent charge, the court may, after notice and hearing, take either or both of the following actions:

A-10


(a)	preclude the holder from presenting the omitted information, in any form, as evidence in any contested matter or adversary proceeding in the case, unless the court determines that the failure was substantially justified or is harmless; or


(b)	award other appropriate relief, including reasonable expenses and attorney's fees caused by the failure.


d.	If the Servicer fails to provide information as required by paragraphs III.B.1.a or III.B.1.b and bankruptcy law with respect to a fee, expense or charge (other than an Independent Charge) incurred more than 45 days before the date of the reply referred to in paragraph III.B.1.b, then such fee, expense or charge shall be deemed waived and may not be collected from the borrower.

Servicer shall file and serve on the debtor, debtor's counsel, and the trustee a notice in a form consistent with the current draft of Official Form B10 (Supplement 1) (effective December 2011) of any change in the payment amount, including any change that results from an interest rate or escrow account adjustment, no later than 21 days before a payment in the new amount is due. Servicer shall waive and not collect any late charge or other fees imposed solely as a result of the failure of the borrower timely to make a payment attributable to the failure of Servicer to give such notice timely.


IV.	Loss Mitigation.

These requirements are intended to apply to both government-sponsored and proprietary loss mitigation programs and shall apply to subservicers performing loss mitigation services on Servicer's behalf.


A.	Loss Mitigation Requirements.

Servicer shall be required to notify potentially eligible borrowers of currently available loss mitigation options prior to foreclosure referral. Upon the timely receipt of a complete loan modification application, Servicer shall evaluate borrowers for all available loan modification options for which they are eligible prior to referring a borrower to foreclosure and shall facilitate the submission and review of loss mitigation applications. The foregoing notwithstanding, Servicer shall have no obligation to solicit borrowers who are in bankruptcy.


2.	Servicer shall offer and facilitate loan modifications for borrowers rather than initiate foreclosure when such loan modifications for which they are eligible are net present value (NPV) positive and meet other investor, guarantor, insurer and program requirements.


3.	Servicer shall allow borrowers enrolled in a trial period plan under prior HAMP guidelines (where borrowers were not pre-qualified) and who made all required trial period payments, but were later denied a permanent modification, the opportunity to reapply for a HAMP or proprietary loan modification using current financial information.

Servicer shall promptly send a final modification agreement to borrowers who have enrolled in a trial period plan under current HAMP guidelines (or fully underwritten proprietary modification programs with a trial payment period) and who have made the required number of timely trial period payments, where the modification is underwritten prior to the trial period and has received any necessary investor, guarantor or insurer approvals. The borrower shall then be converted by Servicer to a permanent modification upon execution of the final modification documents,

A-11

consistent with applicable program guidelines, absent evidence of fraud.


B.	Dual Track Restricted.

If a borrower has not already been referred to foreclosure, Servicer shall not refer an eligible borrower's account to foreclosure while the borrower's complete application for any loan modification program is pending if Servicer received (a) a complete loan modification application no later than day 120 of delinquency, or (b) a substantially complete loan modification application (missing only any required documentation of hardship) no later than day 120 of delinquency and Servicer receives any required hardship documentation no later than day 130 of delinquency. Servicer shall not make a referral to foreclosure of an eligible borrower who so provided an application until:


a.	Servicer determines (after the automatic review in paragraph IV.G.1) that the borrower is not eligible for a loan modification, or


b.	If borrower does not accept an offered foreclosure prevention alternative within 14 days of the evaluation notice, the earlier of (i) such 14 days, and (ii) borrower's decline of the foreclosure prevention offer.

If borrower accepts the loan modification resulting from Servicer's evaluation of the complete loan modification application referred to in paragraph IV.B.1 (verbally, in writing (including e-mail responses) or by submitting the first trial modification payment) within 14 days of Servicer's offer of a loan modification, then the Servicer shall delay referral to foreclosure until (a) if the Servicer fails timely to receive the first trial period payment, the last day for timely receiving the first trial period payment, and (b) if the Servicer timely receives the first trial period payment, after the borrower breaches the trial plan.


3.	If the loan modification requested by a borrower as described in paragraph IV.B.1 is denied, except when otherwise required by federal or state law or investor directives, if borrower is entitled to an appeal under paragraph IV.G.3, Servicer will not proceed to a foreclosure sale until the later of (if applicable):


a.	expiration of the 30-day appeal period; and

if the borrower appeals the denial, until the later of (if applicable) (i) if Servicer denies borrower's appeal, 15 days after the letter denying the appeal, (ii) if the Servicer sends borrower a letter granting his or her appeal and offering a loan modification, 14 days after the date of such offer, (iii) if the borrower timely accepts the loan modification offer (verbally, in writing (including e-mail responses), or by making the first trial period payment), after the Servicer fails timely to receive the first trial period payment, and (iv) if the Servicer timely receives the first trial period payment, after the borrower breaches the trial plan.

If, after an eligible borrower has been referred to foreclosure, the Servicer receives a complete application from the borrower within 30 days after the Post Referral to Foreclosure Solicitation Letter, then while such loan modification application is pending, Servicer shall not move for foreclosure judgment or order of sale (or, if a motion has already been filed, shall take reasonable steps to avoid a ruling on such motion), or seek a foreclosure sale. If Servicer offers the borrower a loan modification, Servicer shall not move for judgment or order of sale, (or, if a motion has already been filed, shall take reasonable steps to avoid a ruling on such motion), or seek a foreclosure sale until the earlier of (a) 14 days after the date of the related offer of a loan modification, and (b) the date the borrower declines the loan modification offer. If the borrower accepts the loan modification offer (verbally, in

A-12

writing (including e-mail responses) or by submitting the first trial modification payment) within 14 days after the date of the related offer of loan modification, Servicer shall continue this delay until the later of (if applicable) (A) the failure by the Servicer timely to receive the first trial period payment, and (B) if the Servicer timely receives the first trial period payment, after the borrower breaches the trial plan.


5.	If the loan modification requested by a borrower described in paragraph IV.B.4 is denied, then, except when otherwise required by federal or state law or investor directives, if borrower is entitled to an appeal under paragraph IV.G.3, Servicer will not proceed to a foreclosure sale until the later of (if applicable):


a.	expiration of the 30-day appeal period; and

if the borrower appeals the denial, until the later of (if applicable) (i) if Servicer denies borrower's appeal, 15 days after the letter denying the appeal, (ii) if the Servicer sends borrower a letter granting his or her appeal and offering a loan modification, 14 days after the date of such offer, (iii) if the borrower timely accepts the loan modification offer (verbally, in writing (including e-mail responses), or by making the first trial period payment), after the failure of the Servicer timely to receive the first trial period payment, and (iv) if the Servicer timely receives the first trial period payment, after the borrower breaches the trial plan.

If, after an eligible borrower has been referred to foreclosure, Servicer receives a complete loan modification application more than 30 days after the Post Referral to Foreclosure Solicitation Letter, but more than 37 days before a foreclosure sale is scheduled, then while such loan modification application is pending, Servicer shall not proceed with the foreclosure sale. If Servicer offers a loan modification, then Servicer shall delay the foreclosure sale until the earlier of (i) 14 days after the date of the related offer of loan modification, and (ii) the date the borrower declines the loan modification offer. If the borrower accepts the loan modification offer (verbally, in writing (including e-mail responses) or by submitting the first trial modification payment) within 14 days, Servicer shall delay the foreclosure sale until the later of (if applicable) (A) the failure by the Servicer timely to receive the first trial period payment, and (B) if the Servicer timely receives the first trial period payment, after the borrower breaches the trial plan.

If the loan modification requested by a borrower described in paragraph IV.B.6 is denied and it is reasonable to believe that more than 90 days remains until a scheduled foreclosure date or the first date on which a sale could reasonably be expected to be scheduled and occur, then, except when otherwise required by federal or state law or investor directives, if borrower is entitled to an appeal under paragraph IV.G.3.a, Servicer will not proceed to a foreclosure sale until the later of (if applicable):


a.	expiration of the 30-day appeal period; and

A-13

borrower breaches the trial plan.

If, after an eligible borrower has been referred to foreclosure, Servicer receives a complete loan modification application more than 30 days after the Post Referral to Foreclosure Solicitation Letter, but within 37 to 15 days before a foreclosure sale is scheduled, then Servicer shall conduct an expedited review of the borrower and, if the borrower is extended a loan modification offer, Servicer shall postpone any foreclosure sale until the earlier of (a) 14 days after the date of the related evaluation notice, and (b) the date the borrower declines the loan modification offer. If the borrower timely accepts the loan modification offer (either in writing or by submitting the first trial modification payment), Servicer shall delay the foreclosure sale until the later of (if applicable) (A) the failure by the Servicer timely to receive the first trial period payment, and (B) if the Servicer timely receives the first trial period payment, after the borrower breaches the trial plan.

If, after an eligible borrower has been referred to foreclosure, the Servicer receives a complete loan modification application more than 30 days after the Post Referral to Foreclosure Solicitation Letter and less than 15 days before a scheduled foreclosure sale, Servicer must notify the borrower before the foreclosure sale date as to Servicer's determination (if its review was completed) or inability to complete its review of the loan modification application. If Servicer makes a loan modification offer to the borrower, then Servicer shall postpone any sale until the earlier of (a) 14 days after the date of the related evaluation notice, and (b) the date the borrower declines the loan modification offer. If the borrower timely accepts a loan modification offer (either in writing or by submitting the first trial modification payment), Servicer shall delay the foreclosure sale until the later of (if applicable) (A) the failure by the Servicer timely to receive the first trial period payment, and (B) if the Servicer timely receives the first trial period payment, after the borrower breaches the trial plan.


10.	For purposes of this section IV.B, Servicer shall not be responsible for failing to obtain a delay in a ruling on a judgment or failing to delay a foreclosure sale if Servicer made a request for such delay, pursuant to any state or local law, court rule or customary practice, and such request was not approved.


11.	Servicer shall not move to judgment or order of sale or proceed with a foreclosure sale under any of the following circumstances:


a.	The borrower is in compliance with the terms of a trial loan modification, forbearance, or repayment plan; or


b.	A short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure has been approved by all parties (including, for example, first lien investor, junior lien holder and mortgage insurer, as applicable), and proof of funds or financing has been provided to Servicer.


12.	If a foreclosure or trustee's sale is continued (rather than cancelled) to provide time to evaluate loss mitigation options, Servicer shall promptly notify borrower in writing of the new date of sale (without delaying any related foreclosure sale).

13.

As indicated in paragraph I.A.18, Servicer shall send a statement to the borrower outlining loss mitigation efforts undertaken with respect to the borrower prior to foreclosure referral. If no loss mitigation efforts were offered or undertaken, Servicer shall state whether it contacted or attempted to contact the borrower and, if applicable, why the borrower was ineligible for a loan modification or other loss mitigation options.


14.	Servicer shall ensure timely and accurate communication of or access to relevant

A-14

loss mitigation status and changes in status to its foreclosure attorneys, bankruptcy attorneys and foreclosure trustees and, where applicable, to court-mandated mediators.


C.	Single Point of Contact.


1.	Servicer shall establish an easily accessible and reliable single point of contact (“SPOC”) for each potentially-eligible first lien mortgage borrower so that the borrower has access to an employee of Servicer to obtain information throughout the loss mitigation, loan modification and foreclosure processes.

Servicer shall initially identify the SPOC to the borrower promptly after a potentially-eligible borrower requests loss mitigation assistance. Servicer shall provide one or more direct means of communication with the SPOC on loss mitigation-related correspondence with the borrower. Servicer shall promptly provide updated contact information to the borrower if the designated SPOC is reassigned, no longer employed by Servicer, or otherwise not able to act as the primary point of contact.


a.	Servicer shall ensure that debtors in bankruptcy are assigned to a SPOC specially trained in bankruptcy issues.


3.	The SPOC shall have primary responsibility for:


a.	Communicating the options available to the borrower, the actions the borrower must take to be considered for these options and the status of Servicer's evaluation of the borrower for these options;


b.	Coordinating receipt of all documents associated with loan modification or loss mitigation activities;


c.	Being knowledgeable about the borrower's situation and current status in the delinquency/imminent default resolution process; and


d.	Ensuring that a borrower who is not eligible for MHA programs is considered for proprietary or other investor loss mitigation options.


4.	The SPOC shall, at a minimum, provide the following services to borrowers:


a.	Contact borrower and introduce himself/herself as the borrower's SPOC;


b.	Explain programs for which the borrower is eligible;


c.	Explain the requirements of the programs for which the borrower is eligible;


d.	Explain program documentation requirements;


e.	Provide basic information about the status of borrower's account, including pending loan modification applications, other loss mitigation alternatives, and foreclosure activity;


f.	Notify borrower of missing documents and provide an address or electronic means for submission of documents by borrower in order to complete the loan modification application;


g.	Communicate Servicer's decision regarding loan modification applications and other loss mitigation alternatives to borrower in writing;


h.	Assist the borrower in pursuing alternative non-foreclosure options upon denial of a loan modification;


i.	If a loan modification is approved, call borrower to explain the program;


j.	Provide information regarding credit counseling where necessary;


k.	Help to clear for borrower any internal processing requirements; and


l.	Have access to individuals with the ability to stop foreclosure proceedings when necessary to comply with the MHA Program or this Agreement.


5.	The SPOC shall remain assigned to borrower's account and available to borrower until such time as Servicer determines in good faith that all loss mitigation options

A-15

have been exhausted, borrower's account becomes current or, in the case of a borrower in bankruptcy, the borrower has exhausted all loss mitigation options for which the borrower is potentially eligible and has applied.


6.	Servicer shall ensure that a SPOC can refer and transfer a borrower to an appropriate supervisor upon request of the borrower.


7.	Servicer shall ensure that relevant records relating to borrower's account are promptly available to the borrower's SPOC, so that the SPOC can timely, adequately and accurately inform the borrower of the current status of loss mitigation, loan modification, and foreclosure activities.

Servicer shall designate one or more management level employees to be the primary contact for the Attorneys General, state financial regulators, the Executive Office of U.S. Trustee, each regional office of the U.S. Trustee, and federal regulators for communication regarding complaints and inquiries from individual borrowers who are in default and/or have applied for loan modifications. Servicer shall provide a written acknowledgment to all such inquiries within 10 business days. Servicer shall provide a substantive written response to all such inquiries within 30 days. Servicer shall provide relevant loan information to borrower and to Attorneys General, state financial regulators, federal regulators, the Executive Office of the U.S. Trustee, and each U.S. Trustee upon written request and if properly authorized. A written complaint filed by a borrower and forwarded by a state attorney general or financial regulatory agency to Servicer shall be deemed to have proper authorization.


9.	Servicer shall establish and make available to Chapter 13 trustees a toll-free number staffed by persons trained in bankruptcy to respond to inquiries from Chapter 13 trustees.


D.	Loss Mitigation Communications with Borrowers.

Servicer shall commence outreach efforts to communicate loss mitigation options for first lien mortgage loans to all potentially eligible delinquent borrowers (other than those in bankruptcy) beginning on timelines that are in accordance with HAMP borrower solicitation guidelines set forth in the MHA Handbook version 3.2, Chapter II, Section 2.2, regardless of whether the borrower is eligible for a HAMP modification. Servicer shall provide borrowers with notices that include contact information for national or state foreclosure assistance hotlines and state housing counseling resources, as appropriate. The use by Servicer of nothing more than prerecorded automatic messages in loss mitigation communications with borrowers shall not be sufficient in those instances in which it fails to result in contact between the borrower and one of Servicer's loss mitigation specialists. Servicer shall conduct affirmative outreach efforts to inform delinquent second lien borrowers (other than those in bankruptcy) about the availability of payment reduction options. The foregoing notwithstanding, Servicer shall have no obligation to solicit borrowers who are in bankruptcy.


2.	Servicer shall disclose and provide accurate information to borrowers relating to the qualification process and eligibility factors for loss mitigation programs.

Servicer shall communicate, at the written request of the borrower, with the borrower's authorized representatives, including housing counselors. Servicer shall communicate with representatives from state attorneys general and financial regulatory agencies acting upon a written complaint filed by the borrower and forwarded by the state attorney general or financial regulatory agency to Servicer. When responding to the borrower regarding such complaint, Servicer shall include

A-16

the applicable state attorney general on all correspondence with the borrower regarding such complaint.

Servicer shall cease all collection efforts while the borrower (i) is making timely payments under a trial loan modification or (ii) has submitted a complete loan modification application, and a modification decision is pending. Notwithstanding the above, Servicer reserves the right to contact a borrower to gather required loss mitigation documentation or to assist a borrower with performance under a trial loan modification plan.


5.

2.	Denial Notice.


a.	When a first lien loan modification is denied after independent review, Servicer shall send a written non-approval notice to the borrower identifying the reasons for denial and the factual information considered. The notice

A-18

shall inform the borrower that he or she has 30 days from the date of the denial letter declination to provide evidence that the eligibility determination was in error.


b.	If the first lien modification is denied because disallowed by investor, Servicer shall disclose in the written non-approval notice the name of the investor and summarize the reasons for investor denial.


c.	For those cases where a first lien loan modification denial is the result of an NPV calculation, Servicer shall provide in the written non-approval notice the monthly gross income and property value used in the calculation.


3.	Appeal Process.

After the automatic review in paragraph IV.G.1 has been completed and Servicer has issued the written non-approval notice, in the circumstances described in the first sentences of paragraphs IV.B.3, IV.B.5 or IV.B.7,except when otherwise required by federal or state law or investor directives, borrowers shall have 30 days to request an appeal and obtain an independent review of the first lien loan modification denial in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Servicer shall ensure that the borrower has 30 days from the date of the written non-approval notice to provide information as to why Servicer's determination of eligibility for a loan modification was in error, unless the reason for non-approval is (1) ineligible mortgage, (2) ineligible property, (3) offer not accepted by borrower or request withdrawn, or (4) the loan was previously modified.

For those cases in which the first lien loan modification denial is the result of an NPV calculation, if a borrower disagrees with the property value used by Servicer in the NPV test, the borrower can request that a full appraisal be conducted of the property by an independent licensed appraiser (at borrower expense) consistent with HAMP directive 10-15. Servicer shall comply with the process set forth in HAMP directive 10-15, including using such value in the NPV calculation.


c.	Servicer shall review the information submitted by borrower and use its best efforts to communicate the disposition of borrower's appeal to borrower no later than 30 days after receipt of the information.

Servicer shall provide the borrower, prior to entering into a trial loan modification, with clear and conspicuous written information that adverse credit reporting consequences may result from the borrower making reduced payments during the trial period.


7.	Where Servicer grants a loan modification, Servicer shall provide borrower with a copy of the fully executed loan modification agreement within 45 days of receipt of the executed copy from the borrower. If the modification is not in writing, Servicer shall provide the borrower with a written summary of its terms, as promptly as possible, within 45 days of the approval of the modification.


8.	Servicer shall not instruct, advise or recommend that borrowers go into default in order to qualify for loss mitigation relief.

10.

11.	Servicer shall not charge borrower an application fee in connection with a request for a loan modification. Servicer shall provide borrower with a pre-paid overnight envelope or pre-paid address label for return of a loan modification application.

12.

If the short sale request is accepted, Servicer shall contemporaneously notify the borrower whether Servicer or investor will demand a deficiency payment or related cash contribution and the approximate amount of that deficiency, if such deficiency obligation is permitted by applicable law. If the short sale request is denied, Servicer shall provide reasons for the denial in the written notice. If Servicer waives a deficiency claim, it shall not sell or transfer such claim to a third-party debt collector or debt buyer for collection.


L.	Loss Mitigation During Bankruptcy.


1.	Servicer may not deny any loss mitigation option to eligible borrowers on the basis that the borrower is a debtor in bankruptcy so long as borrower and any trustee cooperates in obtaining any appropriate approvals or consents.


2.	Servicer shall, to the extent reasonable, extend trial period loan modification plans as necessary to accommodate delays in obtaining bankruptcy court approvals or receiving full remittance of debtor's trial period payments that have been made to a

A-21

chapter 13 trustee. In the event of a trial period extension, the debtor must make a trial period payment for each month of the trial period, including any extension month.


3.	When the debtor is in compliance with a trial period or permanent loan modification plan, Servicer will not object to confirmation of the debtor's chapter 13 plan, move to dismiss the pending bankruptcy case, or file a MRS solely on the basis that the debtor paid only the amounts due under the trial period or permanent loan modification plan, as opposed to the non-modified mortgage payments.


M.	Transfer of Servicing of Loans Pending for Permanent Loan Modification.

2.	Transfer of Servicing to Servicer. When Servicer acquires servicing rights from another servicer, Servicer shall ensure that it will accept and continue to process pending loan modification requests from the prior servicer, and that it will honor trial and permanent loan modification agreements entered into by the prior servicer.


V.	Protections for Military Personnel.

Servicer shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), 50 U.S.C. Appx. § 501 et seq., and any applicable state law offering protections to servicemembers, and shall engage an independent consultant whose duties shall include a review of (a) all foreclosures in which an SCRA-eligible servicemember is known to have been an obligor or mortgagor, and (b) a sample of foreclosure actions (which sample will be appropriately enlarged to the extent Servicer identifies material exceptions), from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010 to determine whether the foreclosures were in compliance with the SCRA. Servicer shall remediate all monetary damages in compliance with the banking regulator Consent Orders.

When a borrower states that he or she is or was within the preceding 9 months (or the then applicable statutory period under the SCRA) in active military service or has received and is subject to military orders requiring him or her to commence active military service, Lender shall determine whether the borrower may be eligible for the protections of the SCRA or for the protections of the provisions of paragraph V.F. If Servicer determines the borrower is so eligible, Servicer shall, until Servicer determines that such customer is no longer protected by the SCRA,


1.	if such borrower is not entitled to a SPOC, route such customers to employees who have been specially trained about the protections of the SCRA to respond to such borrower's questions, or


2.	if such borrower is entitled to a SPOC, designate as a SPOC for such borrower a person who has been specially trained about the protections of the SCRA (Servicemember SPOC).


C.	Servicer shall, in addition to any other reviews it may perform to assess eligibility under

A-22

the SCRA, (i) before referring a loan for foreclosure, (ii) within seven days before a foreclosure sale, and (iii) the later of (A) promptly after a foreclosure sale and (B) within three days before the regularly scheduled end of any redemption period, determine whether the secured property is owned by a servicemember covered under SCRA by searching the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) for evidence of SCRA eligibility by either (a) last name and social security number, or (b) last name and date of birth.

When a servicemember provides written notice requesting protection under the SCRA relating to interest rate relief, but does not provide the documentation required by Section 207(b)(1) of the SCRA (50 USC Appx. § 527(b)(1)), Servicer shall accept, in lieu of the documentation required by Section 207(b)(1) of the SCRA, a letter on official letterhead from the servicemember's commanding officer including a contact telephone number for confirmation:


1.	Addressed in such a way as to signify that the commanding officer recognizes that the letter will be relied on by creditors of the servicemember (a statement that the letter is intended to be relied upon by the Servicemember's creditors would satisfy this requirement);


2.	Setting forth the full name (including middle initial, if any), Social Security number and date of birth of the servicemember;


3.	Setting forth the home address of the servicemember; and


4.	Setting forth the date of the military orders marking the beginning of the period of military service of the servicemember and, as may be applicable, that the military service of the servicemember is continuing or the date on which the military service of the servicemember ended.

Servicer shall notify customers who are 45 days delinquent that, if they are a servicemember, (a) they may be entitled to certain protections under the SCRA regarding the servicemember's interest rate and the risk of foreclosure, and (b) counseling for covered servicemembers is available at agencies such as Military OneSource, Armed Forces Legal Assistance, and a HUD-certified housing counselor. Such notice shall include a toll-free number that servicemembers may call to be connected to a person who has been specially trained about the protections of the SCRA to respond to such borrower's questions. Such telephone number shall either connect directly to such a person or afford a caller the ability to identify him- or herself as an eligible servicemember and be routed to such persons. Servicers hereby confirm that they intend to take reasonable steps to ensure the dissemination of such toll-free number to customers who may be eligible servicemembers.

Irrespective of whether a mortgage obligation was originated before or during the period of a servicemember's military service, if, based on the determination described in the last sentence and subject to Applicable Requirements, a servicemember's military orders (or any letter complying with paragraph V.D), together with any other documentation satisfactory to the Servicer, reflects that the servicemember is (a) eligible for Hostile Fire/Imminent Danger Pay and (b) serving at a location (i) more than 750 miles from the location of the secured property or (ii) outside of the United States, then to the extent consistent with Applicable Requirements, the Servicer shall not sell, foreclose, or seize a property for a breach of an obligation on real property owned by a servicemember that is secured by mortgage, deed of trust, or other security in the nature of a mortgage, during, or within 9 months after, the period in which the servicemember is eligible for Hostile Fire/Imminent Danger Pay, unless either (i) Servicer has obtained a court order granted before such sale, foreclosure, or seizure with a return made and approved by the court, or (ii) if made pursuant to an agreement as provided in section 107 of the SCRA (50 U.S.C. Appx. § 517). Unless a servicemember's eligibility for the protection under this paragraph can be

A-23

fully determined by a proper search of the DMDC website, Servicer shall only be obligated under this provision if it is able to determine, based on a servicemember's military orders (or any letter complying with paragraph V.D), together with any other documentation provided by or on behalf of the servicemember that is satisfactory to the Servicer, that the servicemember is (a) eligible for Hostile Fire/Imminent Danger Pay and (b) serving at a location (i) more than 750 miles from the location of the secured property or (ii) outside of the United States.

Servicer shall not require a servicemember to be delinquent to qualify for a short sale, loan modification, or other loss mitigation relief if the servicemember is suffering financial hardship and is otherwise eligible for such loss mitigation. Subject to Applicable Requirements, for purposes of assessing financial hardship in relation to (i) a short sale or deed in lieu transaction, Servicer will take into account whether the servicemember is, as a result of a permanent change of station order, required to relocate even if such servicemember's income has not been decreased, so long as the servicemember does not have sufficient liquid assets to make his or her monthly mortgage payments, or (ii) a loan modification, Servicer will take into account whether the servicemember is, as a result of his or her under military orders required to relocate to a new duty station at least seventy five mile from his or her residence/secured property or to reside at a location other than the residence/secured property, and accordingly is unable personally to occupy the residence and (a) the residence will continue to be occupied by his or her dependents, or (b) the residence is the only residential property owned by the servicemember.


H.	Servicer shall not make inaccurate reports to credit reporting agencies when a servicemember, who has not defaulted before relocating under military orders to a new duty station, obtains a short sale, loan modification, or other loss mitigation relief.

4.	Late Fees.


a.	Servicer shall not collect any late fee or delinquency charge when the only delinquency is attributable to late fees or delinquency charges assessed on an earlier payment, and the payment is otherwise a full payment for the applicable period and is paid on or before its due date or within any applicable grace period.


b.	Servicer shall not collect late fees (i) based on an amount greater than the past due amount; (ii) collected from the escrow account or from escrow surplus without the approval of the borrower; or (iii) deducted from any regular payment.

b.	No property inspection fee shall be imposed on a borrower any more frequently than the timeframes allowed under GSE or HUD guidelines unless Servicer has identified specific circumstances supporting the need for further property inspections; and


c.	Servicer shall be limited to imposing property valuation fees (e.g., BPO) to once every 12 months, unless other valuations are requested by the borrower to facilitate a short sale or to support a loan modification as outlined in paragraph IV.G.3.a, or required as part of the default or foreclosure valuation process.


2.	Default, foreclosure and bankruptcy-related services performed by third parties shall be at reasonable market value.

Servicer shall not collect any fee for default, foreclosure or bankruptcy-related services by an affiliate unless the amount of the fee does not exceed the lesser of (a) any fee limitation or allowable amount for the service under applicable state law, and (b) the market rate for the service. To determine the market rate, Servicer shall obtain annual market reviews of its affiliates' pricing for such default and foreclosure-related services; such market reviews shall be performed by a qualified, objective, independent third-party professional using procedures and standards generally accepted in the industry to yield accurate and reliable results. The independent third-party professional shall determine in its market survey the price

actually charged by third-party affiliates and by independent third party vendors.


4.	Servicer shall be prohibited from collecting any unearned fee, or giving or accepting referral fees in relation to third-party default or foreclosure-related services.

VII.	Force-Placed Insurance.


A.	General Requirements for Force-Placed Insurance.


1.	Servicer shall not obtain force-placed insurance unless there is a reasonable basis to believe the borrower has failed to comply with the loan contract's requirements to maintain property insurance. For escrowed accounts, Servicer shall continue to advance payments for the homeowner's existing policy, unless the borrower or insurance company cancels the existing policy.

EXHIBIT D

Consumer Relief Requirements

Any Servicer as defined in the Servicing Standards set forth in Exhibit A to this Consent Judgment (hereinafter “Servicer” or “Participating Servicer”) agrees that it will not implement any of the Consumer Relief Requirements described herein through policies that are intended to (i) disfavor a specific geography within or among states that are a party to the Consent Judgment or (ii) discriminate against any protected class of borrowers. This provision shall not preclude the implementation of pilot programs in particular geographic areas.

Any discussion of property in these Consumer Relief Requirements, including any discussion in Table 1 or other documents attached hereto, refers to a 1-4 unit single-family property (hereinafter, “Property” or collectively, “Properties”).

Any consumer relief guidelines or requirements that are found in Table 1 or other documents attached hereto, are hereby incorporated into these Consumer Relief Requirements and shall be afforded the same deference as if they were written in the text below.

For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Consumer Relief Requirements described below, Servicer shall receive credit for consumer relief activities with respect to loans insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or the U.S. Department of Agriculture in accordance with the terms and conditions herein, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to in any way relieve Servicer of the obligation to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture with respect to the servicing of such loans.

Servicer shall not, in the ordinary course, require a borrower to waive or release legal claims and defenses as a condition of approval for loss mitigation activities under these Consumer Relief Requirements. However, nothing herein shall preclude Servicer from requiring a waiver or release of legal claims and defenses with respect to a Consumer Relief activity offered in connection with the resolution of a contested claim, when the borrower would not otherwise have received as favorable terms or when the borrower receives additional consideration.

Programmatic exceptions to the crediting available for the Consumer Relief Requirements listed below may be granted by the Monitoring Committee on a case-by-case basis.

To the extent a Servicer is responsible for the servicing of a mortgage loan to which these Consumer Relief Requirements may apply, the Servicer shall receive credit for all consumer relief and refinancing activities undertaken in connection with such mortgage loan by any of its subservicers to the same extent as if Servicer had undertaken such activities itself.^*


1.	First Lien Mortgage Modifications


a.	Servicer will receive credit under Table 1, Section 1, for first-lien mortgage loan modifications made in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this Section 1.


b.	First liens on occupied¹Properties with an unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) prior to capitalization at or below the highest GSE conforming loan limit cap as of January 1, 2010 shall constitute at least 85% of the eligible credits for first liens (the “Applicable Limits”).


c.	Eligible borrowers must be at least 30 days delinquent or otherwise qualify as being at imminent risk of default due to borrower's financial situation.


d.	Eligible borrowers' pre-modification loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) is greater than 100%.


e.	Post-modification payment should target a debt-to-income ratio (“DTI”)² of 31% (or an affordability measurement consistent with HAMP guidelines) and a modified LTV³ of no greater than 120%, provided that eligible borrowers receive a modification that meets the following terms:


i.	Payment of principal and interest must be reduced by at least 10%.


ii.	Where LTV exceeds 120% at a DTI of 31%, principal shall be reduced to a LTV of 120%, subject to a minimum DTI of 25% (which minimum may be waived by Servicer at Servicer's sole

_________________________________


^*	If a Servicer holds a mortgage loan but does not service or control the servicing rights for such loan (either through its own servicing operations or a subservicer), then no credit shall be granted to that Servicer for consumer relief and refinancing activities related to that loan.


1.	Servicer may rely on a borrower's statement, at the time of the modification evaluation, that a Property is occupied or that the borrower intends to rent or re-occupy the property.


2.	Consistent with HAMP, DTI is based on first-lien mortgage debt only. For non-owner-occupied properties, Servicer shall consider other appropriate measures of affordability.


3.	For the purposes of these guidelines, LTV may be determined in accordance with HAMP PRA.

D-2

discretion), provided that for investor-owned loans, the LTV and DTI need not be reduced to a level that would convert the modification to net present value (“NPV”) negative.


f.	DTI requirements may be waived for first lien mortgages that are 180 days or more delinquent as long as payment of principal and interest is reduced by at least 20% and LTV is reduced to at least 120%.


g.	Servicer shall also be entitled to credit for any amounts of principal reduction which lower LTV below 120%.

When Servicer reduces principal on a first lien mortgage via its proprietary modification process, and a Participating Servicer owns the second lien mortgage, the second lien shall be modified by the second lien owning Participating Servicer in accordance with Section 2.c.i below, provided that any Participating Servicer other than the five largest servicers shall be given a reasonable amount of time, as determined by the Monitor, after that Participating Servicer's Start Date to make system changes necessary to participate in and implement this requirement. Credit for such second lien mortgage write-downs shall be credited in accordance with the second lien percentages and cap described in Table 1, Section 2.

In the event that, in the first 6 months after Servicer's Start Date (as defined below), Servicer temporarily provides forbearance or conditional forgiveness to an eligible borrower as the Servicer ramps up use of principal reduction, Servicer shall receive credit for principal reduction on such modifications provided that (i) Servicer may not receive credit for both the forbearance and the subsequent principal reduction and (ii) Servicer will only receive the credit for the principal reduction once the principal is actually forgiven in accordance with these Consumer Relief Requirements and Table 1.


j.	Eligible modifications include any modification that is made on or after Servicer's Start Date, including:


i.	Write-offs made to allow for refinancing under the FHA Short Refinance Program;

ii.

Modifications under the Making Home Affordable Program (including the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) Tier 1 or Tier 2) or the Housing Finance Agency Hardest Hit Fund (“HFA Hardest Hit Fund”) (or any other federal program) where principal is forgiven, except to the extent that state or federal funds paid to Servicer in its capacity as an investor are the source of a Servicer's credit claim.

D-3


iii.	Modifications under other proprietary or other government modification programs, provided that such modifications meet the guidelines set forth herein.⁴


2.	Second Lien Portfolio Modifications


a.	Servicer is required to adhere to these guidelines in order to receive credit under Table 1, Section 2.

A write-down of a second lien mortgage will be creditable where such write-down facilitates either (a) a first lien modification that involves an occupied Property for which the borrower is 30 days delinquent or otherwise at imminent risk of default due to the borrower's financial situation; or (b) a second lien modification that involves an occupied Property with a second lien which is at least 30 days delinquent or otherwise at imminent risk of default due to the borrower's financial situation.

_________________________________

Two examples are hereby provided. Example 1: on a mortgage loan at 175% LTV, when a Servicer (in its capacity as an investor) extinguishes $75 of principal through the HAMP Principal Reduction Alternative (“PRA”) modification in order to bring the LTV down to 100%, if the Servicer receives $28.10 in PRA principal reduction incentive payments from the U.S. Department of the Treasury for that extinguishment, then the Servicer may claim $46.90 of principal reduction for credit under these Consumer Relief Requirements:




LTV Reduction Band:	HAMP-PRA Incentive Amount Received:	Allowable Settlement Credit:
175% LTV to 140% LTV	$10.50 (35% LTV * $0.30)	$24.50 ((35% LTV-$10.50) * $1.00)

Total:	$28.10	$46.90

Example 2: on a mortgage loan at 200% LTV, when a Servicer (in its capacity as an investor) extinguishes $100 of principal through a HAMP-PRA modification in order to bring the LTV down to 100%, if the Servicer receives $35.60 in PRA principal reduction incentive payments from Treasury for that extinguishment, then although the Servicer would have funded $64.40 in principal reduction on that loan, the Servicer may claim $55.70 of principal reduction for credit under these Consumer Relief Requirements:




LTV Reduction Band:	HAMP-PRA Incentive Amount Received:	Allowable Settlement Credit:
200% LTV to 175% LTV	$7.50 (25% LTV * $0.30)	$8.80 ((25% LTV-$7.50) * $0.50)

Total:	$35.60	$55.70

D-4


c.	Required Second Lien Modifications:


i.	Servicer agrees that it must write down second liens consistent with the following program until its Consumer Relief Requirement credits are fulfilled:


1.	A write-down of a second lien mortgage will be creditable where a successful first lien modification is completed by a Participating Servicer via a servicer's proprietary, non-HAMP modification process, in accordance with Section 1, with the first lien modification meeting the following criteria:


a.	Minimum 10% payment reduction (principal and interest);


b.	Income verified;


c.	A UPB at or below the Applicable Limits; and


d.	Post-modification DTI⁵ between 25% and 31%.


2.	If a Participating Servicer has completed a successful proprietary first lien modification and the second lien loan amount is greater than $5,000 UPB and the current monthly payment is greater than $100, then:


a.	Servicer shall extinguish and receive credit in accordance with Table 1, Section 2.iii on any second lien that is greater than 180 days delinquent.


b.	Otherwise, Servicer shall solve for a second lien payment utilizing the HAMP Second Lien Modification Program (“2MP”) logic used as of January 26, 2012.


c.	Servicer shall use the following payment waterfall:


i.	Forgiveness equal to the lesser of (a) achieving 115% combined loan-to-value ratio (“CLTV”) or (b) 30% UPB (subject to minimum forgiveness level); then


ii.	Reduce rate until the 2MP payment required by 2MP logic as of January 26, 2012; then

_________________________________


5.	Consistent with HAMP, DTI is based on first-lien mortgage debt only. For non-owner-occupied properties, Servicer shall consider other appropriate measures of affordability.

D-5


iii.	Extend term to “2MP Term” (greater of modified first or remaining second).


d.	Servicer shall maintain an I/O product option consistent with 2MP protocols.


d.	Eligible second lien modifications include any modification that is made on or after Servicer's Start Date, including:


i.	Principal reduction or extinguishments through the Making Home Affordable Program (including 2MP), the FHA Short Refinance Second Lien (“FHA2LP”) Program or the HFA Hardest Hit Fund (or any other federal program), except (to the extent) that state or federal funds are the source of a Servicer's credit claim.


ii.	Second lien write-downs or extinguishments completed under proprietary modification programs, are eligible, provided that such write-downs or extinguishments meet the guidelines as set forth herein.


e.	Extinguishing balances of second liens to support the future ability of individuals to become homeowners will be credited based on applicable credits in Table 1.


3.	Enhanced Borrower Transitional Funds

Servicer may receive credit, as described in Table 1, Section 3, for providing additional transitional funds to homeowners in connection with a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to homeowners for the amount above $1,500.


4.	Short Sales


a.	As described in the preceding paragraph, Servicer may receive credit for providing incentive payments for borrowers on or after Servicer's Start Date who are eligible and amenable to accepting such payments in return for a dignified exit from a Property via short sale or similar program. Credit shall be provided in accordance with Table 1, Section 3.i.


b.	To facilitate such short sales, Servicer may receive credit for extinguishing second liens on or after Servicer's Start Date under Table 1, Section 4.


c.	Short sales through the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program or any HFA Hardest Hit Fund program or proprietary programs closed on or after Servicer's Start Date are eligible.

Servicer shall be required to extinguish a second lien owned by Servicer behind a successful short sale/deed-in-lieu conducted by a Participating Servicer (provided that any Participating Servicer other than the five largest servicers shall be given a reasonable amount of time, as determined by the Monitor, after their Start Date to make system changes necessary to participate in and implement this requirement) where the first lien is greater than 100% LTV and has a UPB at or below the Applicable Limits, until Servicer's Consumer Relief Requirement credits are fulfilled. The first lien holder would pay to the second lien holder 8% of UPB, subject to a $2,000 floor and an $8,500 ceiling. The second lien holder would then release the note or lien and waive the balance.


5.	Deficiency Waivers


a.	Servicer may receive credit for waiving deficiency balances if not eligible for credit under some other provision, subject to the cap provided in the Table 1, Section 5.i.


b.	Credit for such waivers of any deficiency is only available where Servicer has a valid deficiency claim, meaning where Servicer can evidence to the Monitor that it had the ability to pursue a deficiency against the borrower but waived its right to do so after completion of the foreclosure sale.


6.	Forbearance for Unemployed Borrowers


a.	Servicer may receive credit for forgiveness of payment of arrearages on behalf of an unemployed borrower in accordance with Table 1, Section 6.i.

D-6


b.	Servicer may receive credit under Table 1, Section 6.ii., for funds expended to finance principal forbearance solutions for unemployed borrowers as a means of keeping them in their homes until such time as the borrower can resume payments. Credit will only be provided beginning in the 7th month of the forbearance under Table 1, Section 6.ii.


7.	Anti-Blight Provisions


a.	Servicer may receive credit for certain anti-blight activities in accordance with and subject to caps contained in Table 1, Section 7.


b.	Any Property value used to calculate credits for this provision shall have a property evaluation meeting the standards acceptable under the Making Home Affordable programs received within 3 months of the transaction.


8.	Benefits for Servicemembers


a.	Short Sales

Servicer shall, with respect to owned portfolio first liens, provide servicemembers who qualify for SCRA benefits (“Eligible Servicemembers”) a short sale agreement containing a predetermined minimum net proceeds amount (“Minimum Net Proceeds”) that Servicer will accept for short sale transaction upon receipt of the listing agreement and all required third-party approvals. The Minimum Net Proceeds may be expressed as a fixed dollar amount, as a percentage of the current market value of the property, or as a percentage of the list price as approved by Servicer. After providing the Minimum Net Proceeds, Servicer may not increase the minimum net requirements above the Minimum Net Proceeds amount until the initial short sale agreement termination date is reached (not less than 120 calendar days from the date of the initial short sale agreement). Servicer must document subsequent changes to the Minimum Net Proceeds when the short sale agreement is extended.

ii.

Eligible Servicemembers shall be eligible for this short sale program if: (a) they are an active duty full-time status Eligible Servicemember; (b) the property securing the mortgage is not vacant or condemned; (c) the property securing the mortgage is the Eligible Servicemember's primary residence (or, the property was his or her principal residence immediately before he or she moved pursuant to a Permanent Change of Station (“PCS”) order dated on or after October 1, 2010; (d) the Eligible Servicemember purchased the subject primary residence on or after July 1, 2006 and before December 31, 2008; and (e) the Eligible Servicemember relocates or has relocated from the subject property not more than 12 months prior to the date of the short sale agreement to a new duty station or home port outside a 50-mile radius of the Eligible Servicemember's former duty station or home port under a PCS. Eligible Servicemembers who have relocated may be eligible if the Eligible Servicemember provides documentation that the property was their principal residence prior to relocation or during the 12-month period prior to the date of the short sale agreement.


b.	Short Sale Waivers


i.	If an Eligible Servicemember qualifies for a short sale hereunder and sells his or her principal residence in a short sale conducted in accordance with Servicer's then customary short sale process, Servicer shall, in the case of an owned portfolio first lien, waive the additional amount owed by the Eligible Servicemember so long as it is less than $250,000.


ii.	Servicer shall receive credit under Table 1, Section 4, for mandatory waivers of amounts under this Section 8.b.


c.	With respect to the refinancing program described in Section 9 below, Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to identify active servicemembers in its owned portfolio who would qualify and to solicit those individuals for the refinancing program.

D-7

ii.	Loan must be current with no delinquencies in past 12 months.


iii.	Fixed rate loans, ARMS, or I/Os are eligible if they have an initial period of 5 years or more.

vi.	Loan must not have received any modification in the past 24 months.


vii.	Loan must have a current interest rate of at least 5.25 % or PMMS + 100 basis points, whichever is greater.

ix.	Maximum UPB will be an amount at or below the Applicable Limits.


x.	The following types of loans are excluded from the program eligibility:


1.	FHA/VA


2.	Property outside the 50 States, DC, and Puerto Rico


3.	Loans on Manufactured Homes


4.	Loans for borrowers who have been in bankruptcy anytime within the prior 24 months


5.	Loans that have been in foreclosure within the prior 24 months

The refinancing program shall be made available to all borrowers fitting the minimum eligibility criteria described above in 9.a. Servicer will be free to extend the program to other customers beyond the minimum eligibility criteria provided above and will receive credit under this Agreement for such refinancings, provided that such customers have an LTV of over 80%, and would not have qualified for a refinance under Servicer's generally-available refinance programs as of September 30, 2011. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer shall not be required to solicit or refinance borrowers who do not satisfy the eligibility criteria under 9.a above. In addition, Servicer shall not be required to refinance a loan under circumstances that, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would result in Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) treatment. A letter to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission regarding TDR treatment, dated November 22, 2011, shall be provided to the Monitor for review.


c.	The structure of the refinanced loans shall be as follows:


i.	Servicer may offer refinanced loans with reduced rates either:


1.	For the life of the loan;


2.	For loans with current interest rates above 5.25% or PMMS + 100 basis points, whichever is greater, the interest rate may be reduced for 5 years. After the 5 year fixed interest rate period, the rate will return to the preexisting rate subject to a maximum rate increase of 0.5% annually; or


3.	For loans with an interest rate below 5.25% or PMMS + 100 basis points, whichever is greater, the interest rate may be reduced to obtain at least a 25 basis point interest rate reduction or $100 payment reduction in monthly payment, for a period of 5 years, followed by 0.5% annual interest rate increases with a maximum ending interest rate of 5.25% or PMMS + 100 basis

D-8

points.


ii.	The original term of the loan may be changed.


iii.	Rate reduction could be done through a modification of the existing loan terms or refinance into a new loan.


iv.	New term of the loan has to be a fully amortizing product.


v.	The new interest rate will be capped at 100 basis points over the PMMS rate or 5.25%, whichever is greater, during the initial rate reduction period.


d.	Banks fees and expenses shall not exceed the amount of fees charged by Banks under the current Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”) guidelines.


e.	The program shall be credited under these Consumer Relief Requirements as follows:


i.	Credit will be calculated as the difference between the preexisting interest rate and the offered interest rate times UPB times a multiplier.


ii.	The multiplier shall be as follows:


1.	If the new rate applies for the life of the loan, the multiplier shall be 8 for loans with a remaining term greater than 15 years, 6 for loans with a remaining term between 10 and 15 years and 5 for loans with a remaining term less than 10 years.


2.	If the new rate applies for 5 years, the multiplier shall be 5.


f.	Additional dollars spent by each Servicer on the refinancing program beyond that Servicer's required commitment shall be credited 25% against that Servicer's first lien principal reduction obligation and 75% against that Servicer's second lien principal reduction obligation, up to the limits set forth in Table 1.


10.	Timing, Incentives, and Payments


a.	For the consumer relief and refinancing activities imposed by this Agreement, Servicer shall be entitled to receive credit against Servicer's outstanding settlement commitments for activities taken on or after Servicer's start date, March 1, 2012 (such date, the “Start Date”).


b.	Servicer shall receive an additional 25% credit against Servicer's outstanding settlement commitments for any first or second lien principal reduction and any amounts credited pursuant to the refinancing program within 12 months of Servicer's Start Date (e.g., a $1.00 credit for Servicer activity would count as $1.25).


c.	Servicer shall complete 75% of its Consumer Relief Requirement credits within two years of the Servicer's Start Date.

If Servicer fails to meet the commitment set forth in these Consumer Relief Requirements within three years of Servicer's Start Date, Servicer shall pay an amount equal to 125% of the unmet commitment amount; except that if Servicer fails to meet the two year commitment noted above, and then fails to meet the three year commitment, the Servicer shall pay an amount equal to 140% of the unmet three-year commitment amount; provided, however, that if Servicer must pay any Participating State for failure to meet the obligations of a state-specific commitment to provide Consumer Relief pursuant to the terms of that commitment, then Servicer's obligation to pay under this provision shall be reduced by the amount that such a Participating State would have received under this provision and the Federal portion of the payment attributable to that Participating State. The purpose of the 125% and 140% amounts is to encourage Servicer to meet its commitments set forth in these Consumer Relief Requirements.

D-9


11.	Applicable Requirements

The provision of consumer relief by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement in connection with any residential mortgage loan is expressly subject to, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, as applicable, the terms and provisions of the Servicer Participation Agreement with the U.S. Department of Treasury, any servicing agreement, subservicing agreement under which Servicer services for others, special servicing agreement, mortgage or bond insurance policy or related agreement or requirements to which Servicer is a party and by which it or its servicing affiliates are bound pertaining to the servicing or ownership of the mortgage loans, including without limitation the requirements, binding directions, or investor guidelines of the applicable investor (such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac), mortgage or bond insurer, or credit enhancer, provided, however, that the inability of a Servicer to offer a type, form or feature of the consumer relief payments by virtue of an Applicable Requirement shall not relieve the Servicer of its aggregate consumer relief obligations imposed by this Agreement, i.e., the Servicer must satisfy such obligations through the offer of other types, forms or features of consumer relief payments that are not limited by such Applicable Requirement.

_________________________________

Where applicable, the number of days of delinquency will be determined by the number of days a loan is delinquent at the start of the earlier of the first or second lien modification process. For example, if a borrower applies for a first lien principal reduction on February 1, 2012, then any delinquency determination for a later second lien modification made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be based on the number of days the second lien was delinquent as of February 1, 2012.

Credit for all modifications is determined from the date the modification is approved or communicated to the borrower. However, no credits shall be credited unless the payments on the modification are current as of 90 days following the implementation of the modification, including any trial period, except if the failure to make payments on the modification within the 90 day period is due to unemployment or reduced hours, in which case Servicer shall receive credit provided that Servicer has reduced the principal balance on the loan. Eligible Modifications will include any modification that is completed on or after the Start Date, as long as the loan is current 90 days after the modification is implemented.

Enforcement Terms

Implementation Timeline. Servicer anticipates that it will phase in the implementation of the Servicing Standards and Mandatory Relief Requirements (i) through (iv), as described in Section C.12, using a grid approach that prioritizes implementation based upon: (i) the importance of the Servicing Standard to the borrower; and (ii) the difficulty of implementing the Servicing Standard. In addition to the Servicing Standards and any Mandatory Relief Requirements that have been implemented upon entry of this Consent Judgment, the periods for implementation will be: (a) within 60 days of entry of this Consent Judgment; (b) within 90 days of entry of this Consent Judgment; and (c) within 180 days of entry of this Consent Judgment. Servicer will agree with the Monitor chosen pursuant to Section C, below, on the timetable in which the Servicing Standards and Mandatory Relief Requirements (i) through (iv) will be implemented. In the event that Servicer, using reasonable efforts, is unable to implement certain of the standards on the specified timetable, Servicer may apply to the Monitor for a reasonable extension of time to implement those standards or requirements.

Monitoring Committee. A committee comprising representatives of the state Attorneys General, State Financial Regulators, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development shall monitor Servicer's compliance with this Consent Judgment (the “Monitoring Committee”). The Monitoring Committee may substitute representation, as necessary. Subject to Section F, the Monitoring Committee may share all Monitor Reports, as that term is defined in Section D.2 below, with any releasing party.


C.	Monitor

Retention and Qualifications and Standard of Conduct


1.	Pursuant to an agreement of the parties, Joseph A. Smith Jr. is appointed to the position of Monitor under this Consent Judgment. If the Monitor is at any time unable to complete his or her duties under this Consent Judgment, Servicer and the Monitoring Committee shall mutually agree upon a replacement in accordance with the process and standards set forth in Section C of this Consent Judgment.

Such Monitor shall be highly competent and highly respected, with a reputation that will garner public confidence in his or her ability to perform the tasks required under this Consent Judgment. The Monitor shall have the right to employ an accounting firm or firms or other firm(s) with similar capabilities to support the Monitor in carrying out his or her duties under this Consent Judgment. Monitor and Servicer shall agree on the selection of a “Primary Professional Firm,” which must have adequate capacity and resources to perform the work required under this agreement. The Monitor shall also have the right to engage one or more attorneys or other professional persons to represent or assist the Monitor in carrying out the Monitor's duties under this Consent Judgment (each such individual, along with each individual deployed to the engagement by the Primary Professional Firm, shall be defined as a “Professional”). The Monitor and Professionals will collectively possess expertise in the areas of mortgage servicing, loss mitigation, business operations, compliance, internal controls, accounting, and foreclosure and bankruptcy law and practice. The Monitor and Professionals shall at all times act in good faith and with integrity and fairness towards all the Parties.


3.	The Monitor and Professionals shall not have any prior relationships with the Parties that would undermine public confidence in the objectivity of their work and, subject to Section C.3(e), below, shall not have any conflicts of interest with any Party.


(a)	The Monitor and Professionals will disclose, and will make a reasonable inquiry to discover, any known current or prior relationships to, or conflicts with, any Party, any Party's holding company, any subsidiaries of the Party or its holding company, directors, officers, and law firms.


(b)	The Monitor and Professionals shall make a reasonable inquiry to determine whether there are any facts that a reasonable individual would consider likely to create a conflict of interest for the Monitor or Professionals. The Monitor and Professionals shall disclose any conflict of interest with respect to any Party.


(c)	The duty to disclose a conflict of interest or relationship pursuant to this Section C.3 shall remain ongoing throughout the course of the Monitor's and Professionals' work in connection with this Consent Judgment.


(d)	All Professionals shall comply with all applicable standards of professional conduct, including ethics rules and rules pertaining to conflicts of interest.


(e)	To the extent permitted under prevailing professional standards, a Professional's conflict of interest may be waived by written agreement of the Monitor and Servicer.


(f)	Servicer or the Monitoring Committee may move the Court for an order disqualifying any Professionals on the grounds that such Professional has a conflict of interest that has inhibited or could inhibit the Professional's ability to act in good faith and with integrity and fairness towards all Parties.

The Monitor must agree not to be retained by any Party, or its successors or assigns, for a period of 2 years after the conclusion of the terms of the engagement. Any Professionals who work on the engagement must agree not to work on behalf of Servicer, or its successor or assigns, for a period of 1 year after the conclusion of the term of the engagement (the “Professional Exclusion Period”). Any Firm that performs work with respect to Servicer on the engagement must agree not to perform work on behalf of Servicer, or its successor or assigns, that consists of advising Servicer on a response to the Monitor's review during the engagement and for a period of six months after the conclusion of the term of the engagement (the “Firm Exclusion Period”). The Professional Exclusion Period and Firm Exclusion Period, and terms of exclusion may be altered on a case-by-case basis upon written agreement of Servicer and the Monitor. The Monitor shall organize the work of any Firms so as to minimize the potential for any appearance of, or actual, conflicts.

Monitor's Responsibilities


5.	It shall be the responsibility of the Monitor to determine whether Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Standards and the Mandatory Relief Requirements (as defined in Section C.12) and whether Servicer has satisfied the Consumer Relief Requirements, in accordance with the authorities provided herein and to report his or her findings as provided in Section D.3, below.


6.	The manner in which the Monitor will carry out his or her compliance responsibilities under this Consent Judgment and, where applicable, the methodologies to be utilized shall be set forth in a work plan agreed upon by Servicer and the Monitor, and not objected to by the Monitoring Committee (the “Work Plan”).

Internal Review Group

E-2

Servicer will designate an internal quality control group that is independent from the line of business whose performance is being measured (the “Internal Review Group”) to perform compliance reviews each calendar quarter (“Quarter”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Work Plan (the “Compliance Reviews”) and satisfaction of the Consumer Relief Requirements after the (A) end of each calendar year (and, in the discretion of the Servicer, any Quarter) and (B) earlier of the Servicer assertion that it has satisfied its obligations thereunder and the third anniversary of the Start Date (the “Satisfaction Review”). For the purposes of this provision, a group that is independent from the line of business shall be one that does not perform operational work on mortgage servicing, and ultimately reports to a Chief Risk Officer, Chief Audit Executive, Chief Compliance Officer, or another employee or manager who has no direct operational responsibility for mortgage servicing.


8.	The Internal Review Group shall have the appropriate authority, privileges, and knowledge to effectively implement and conduct the reviews and metric assessments contemplated herein and under the terms and conditions of the Work Plan.


9.	The Internal Review Group shall have personnel skilled at evaluating and validating processes, decisions, and documentation utilized through the implementation of the Servicing Standards. The Internal Review Group may include non-employee consultants or contractors working at Servicer's direction.


10.	The qualifications and performance of the Internal Review Group will be subject to ongoing review by the Monitor. Servicer will appropriately remediate the reasonable concerns of the Monitor as to the qualifications or performance of the Internal Review Group.

Work Plan

11.

Servicer's compliance with the Servicing Standards shall be assessed via metrics identified and defined in Schedule E-1 hereto (as supplemented from time to time in accordance with Sections C.12 and C.23, below, the “Metrics”). The threshold error rates for the Metrics are set forth in Schedule E-1 (as supplemented from time to time in accordance with Sections C.12 and C.23, below, the “Threshold Error Rates”). The Internal Review Group shall perform test work to compute the Metrics each Quarter, and report the results of that analysis via the Compliance Reviews. The Internal Review Group shall perform test work to assess the satisfaction of the Consumer Relief Requirements within 45 days after the (A) end of each calendar year (and, in the discretion of the Servicer, any Quarter) and (B) earlier of (i) the end of the Quarter in which Servicer asserts that it has satisfied its obligations under the Consumer Relief Provisions and (ii) the Quarter during which the third anniversary of the Start Date occurs, and report that analysis via the Satisfaction Review.

12.

In addition to the process provided under Sections C.23 and 24, at any time after the Monitor is selected, the Monitor may add up to three additional Metrics and associated Threshold Error Rates, all of which (a) must be similar to the Metrics and associated Threshold Error Rates contained in Schedule E-1, (b) must relate to material terms of the Servicing Standards, or the following obligations of Servicer: (i) after the Servicer asserts that it has satisfied its obligation to provide a refinancing program under the framework of the Consumer Relief Requirements (“Framework”), to provide notification to eligible borrowers indicating that such borrowers may refinance under the refinancing program described in the Framework, (ii) to make the Refinancing Program available to all borrowers fitting the minimum eligibility criteria described in 9.a of the Framework, (iii)

when the Servicer owns the second lien mortgage, to modify the second lien mortgage when a Participating Servicer (as defined in the Framework) reduces principal on the related first lien mortgage, as described in the Framework, (iv) with regard to servicer-owned first liens, to waive the deficiency amounts less than $250,000 if an Eligible Servicemember qualifies for a short sale under the Framework and sells his or her principal residence in a short sale conducted in accordance with Servicer's then customary short sale process, or (v) without prejudice to the implementation of pilot programs in particular geographic areas, to implement the Framework requirements through policies that are not intended to disfavor a specific geography within or among states that are a party to the Consent Judgment or discriminate against any protected class of borrowers (collectively, the obligations described in (i) through (v) are hereinafter referred to as the “Mandatory Relief Requirements”), (c) must either (i) be outcomes-based (but no outcome-based Metric shall be added with respect to any Mandatory Relief Requirement) or (ii) require the existence of policies and procedures implementing any of the Mandatory Relief Requirements or any material term of the Servicing Standards, in a manner similar to Metrics 5.B-E, and (d) must be distinct from, and not overlap with, any other Metric or Metrics. In consultation with Servicer and the Monitoring Committee, Schedule E-1 shall be amended by the Monitor to include the additional Metrics and Threshold Error Rates as provided for herein, and an appropriate timeline for implementation of the Metric shall be determined.

13.

Servicer and the Monitor shall reach agreement on the terms of the Work Plan within 90 days of the Monitor's appointment, which time can be extended for good cause by agreement of Servicer and the Monitor. If such Work Plan is not objected to by the Monitoring Committee within 20 days, the Monitor shall proceed to implement the Work Plan. In the event that Servicer and the Monitor cannot agree on the terms of the Work Plan within 90 days or the agreed upon terms are not acceptable to the Monitoring Committee, Servicer and Monitoring Committee or the Monitor shall jointly petition the Court to resolve any disputes. If the Court does not resolve such disputes, then the Parties shall submit all remaining disputes to binding arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators. Each of Servicer and the Monitoring Committee shall appoint one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators shall appoint a third.


14.	The Work Plan may be modified from time to time by agreement of the Monitor and Servicer. If such amendment to the Work Plan is not objected to by the Monitoring Committee within 20 days, the Monitor shall proceed to implement the amendment to the Work Plan. To the extent possible, the Monitor shall endeavor to apply the Servicing Standards uniformly across all Servicers.


15.	The following general principles shall provide a framework for the formulation of the Work Plan:


(a)	The Work Plan will set forth the testing methods and agreed procedures that will be used by the Internal Review Group to perform the test work and compute the Metrics for each Quarter.


(b)	The Work Plan will set forth the testing methods and agreed procedures that will be used by Servicer to report on its compliance with the Consumer Relief Requirements of this Consent Judgment, including, incidental to any other testing, confirmation of state-identifying information used by Servicer to compile state-level Consumer Relief information as required by Section D.2.


(c)	The Work Plan will set forth the testing methods and procedures that the Monitor

E-4

will use to assess Servicer's reporting on its compliance with the Consumer Relief Requirements of this Consent Judgment.


(d)	The Work Plan will set forth the methodology and procedures the Monitor will utilize to review the testing work performed by the Internal Review Group.


(e)	The Compliance Reviews and the Satisfaction Review may include a variety of audit techniques that are based on an appropriate sampling process and random and risk-based selection criteria, as appropriate and as set forth in the Work Plan.


(f)	In formulating, implementing, and amending the Work Plan, Servicer and the Monitor may consider any relevant information relating to patterns in complaints by borrowers, issues or deficiencies reported to the Monitor with respect to the Servicing Standards, and the results of prior Compliance Reviews.


(g)	The Work Plan should ensure that Compliance Reviews are commensurate with the size, complexity, and risk associated with the Servicing Standard being evaluated by the Metric.


(h)	Following implementation of the Work Plan, Servicer shall be required to compile each Metric beginning in the first full Quarter after the period for implementing the Servicing Standards associated with the Metric, or any extension approved by the Monitor in accordance with Section A, has run.

Monitor's Access to Information

16.

So that the Monitor may determine whether Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Standards and Mandatory Relief Requirements, Servicer shall provide the Monitor with its regularly prepared business reports analyzing Executive Office servicing complaints (or the equivalent); access to all Executive Office servicing complaints (or the equivalent) (with appropriate redactions of borrower information other than borrower name and contact information to comply with privacy requirements); and, if Servicer tracks additional servicing complaints, quarterly information identifying the three most common servicing complaints received outside of the Executive Office complaint process (or the equivalent). In the event that Servicer substantially changes its escalation standards or process for receiving Executive Office servicing complaints (or the equivalent), Servicer shall ensure that the Monitor has access to comparable information.


17.	So that the Monitor may determine whether Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Standards and Mandatory Relief Requirements, Servicer shall notify the Monitor promptly if Servicer becomes aware of reliable information indicating Servicer is engaged in a significant pattern or practice of noncompliance with a material aspect of the Servicing Standards or Mandatory Relief Requirements.


18.	Servicer shall provide the Monitor with access to all work papers prepared by the Internal Review Group in connection with determining compliance with the Metrics or satisfaction of the Consumer Relief Requirements in accordance with the Work Plan.

19.


20.	Where reasonably necessary in fulfilling the Monitor's responsibilities under the Work Plan to assess compliance with the Metrics or the satisfaction of the Consumer Relief Requirements, the Monitor may request information from Servicer in addition to that

E-5

provided under Sections C.16-19. Servicer shall provide the requested information in a format agreed upon between Servicer and the Monitor.

21.

Where reasonably necessary in fulfilling the Monitor's responsibilities under the Work Plan to assess compliance with the Metrics or the satisfaction of the Consumer Relief Requirements, the Monitor may interview Servicer's employees and agents, provided that the interviews shall be limited to matters related to Servicer's compliance with the Metrics or the Consumer Relief Requirements, and that Servicer shall be given reasonable notice of such interviews.

Monitor's Powers

22.

Where the Monitor reasonably determines that the Internal Review Group's work cannot be relied upon or that the Internal Review Group did not correctly implement the Work Plan in some material respect, the Monitor may direct that the work on the Metrics (or parts thereof) be reviewed by Professionals or a third party other than the Internal Review Group, and that supplemental work be performed as necessary.

23.

If the Monitor becomes aware of facts or information that lead the Monitor to reasonably conclude that Servicer may be engaged in a pattern of noncompliance with a material term of the Servicing Standards that is reasonably likely to cause harm to borrowers or tenants residing in foreclosed properties or with any of the Mandatory Relief Requirements, the Monitor shall engage Servicer in a review to determine if the facts are accurate or the information is correct. If after that review, the Monitor reasonably concludes that such a pattern exists and is reasonably likely to cause material harm to borrowers or tenants residing in foreclosed properties, the Monitor may propose an additional Metric and associated Threshold Error Rate relating to Servicer's compliance with the associated term or requirement. Any additional Metrics and associated Threshold Error Rates (a) must be similar to the Metrics and associated Threshold Error Rates contained in Schedule E-1, (b) must relate to material terms of the Servicing Standards or one of the Mandatory Relief Requirements, (c) must either (i) be outcomes-based (but no outcome-based Metric shall be added with respect to any Mandatory Relief Requirement) or (ii) require the existence of policies and procedures required by the Servicing Standards or the Mandatory Relief Requirements, in a manner similar to Metrics 5.B-E, and (d) must be distinct from, and not overlap with, any other Metric or Metrics. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Monitor may add a Metric that satisfies (a)-(c) but does not satisfy (d) of the preceding sentence if the Monitor first asks the Servicer to propose, and then implement, a Corrective Action Plan, as defined below, for the material term of the Servicing Standards with which there is a pattern of noncompliance and that is reasonably likely to cause material harm to borrowers or tenants residing in foreclosed properties, and the Servicer fails to implement the Corrective Action Plan according to the timeline agreed to with the Monitor.

24.

If Monitor proposes an additional Metric and associated Threshold Error Rate pursuant to Section C.23, above, Monitor, the Monitoring Committee, and Servicer shall agree on amendments to Schedule E-1 to include the additional Metrics and Threshold Error Rates provided for in Section C.23, above, and an appropriate timeline for implementation of the Metric. If Servicer does not timely agree to such additions, any associated amendments to the Work Plan, or the implementation schedule, the Monitor may petition the court for such additions.


25.	Any additional Metric proposed by the Monitor pursuant to the processes in Sections C.12, C.23, or C.24 and relating to provision VIII.B.1 of the Servicing Standards shall be limited to Servicer's performance of its obligations to comply with (1) the federal Protecting

E-6

Tenants at Foreclosure Act and state laws that provide comparable protections to tenants of foreclosed properties; (2) state laws that govern relocation assistance payments to tenants (“cash for keys”); and (3) state laws that govern the return of security deposits to tenants.


D.	Reporting

Quarterly Reports

Following the end of each Quarter, Servicer will report the results of its Compliance Reviews for that Quarter (the “Quarterly Report”). The Quarterly Report shall include: (i) the Metrics for that Quarter; (ii) Servicer's progress toward meeting its payment obligations under this Consent Judgment; (iii) general statistical data on Servicer's overall servicing performance described in Schedule Y. Except where an extension is granted by the Monitor, Quarterly Reports shall be due no later than 45 days following the end of the Quarter and shall be provided to: (1) the Monitor, and (2) the Board of Servicer or a committee of the Board designated by Servicer. The first Quarterly Report shall cover the first full Quarter after this Consent Judgment is entered.

Following the end of each Quarter, Servicer will transmit to each state a report (the “State Report”) including general statistical data on Servicer's servicing performance, such as aggregate and state-specific information regarding the number of borrowers assisted and credited activities conducted pursuant to the Consumer Relief Requirements, as described in Schedule Y. The State Report will be delivered simultaneous with the submission of the Quarterly Report to the Monitor. Servicer shall provide copies of such State Reports to the Monitor and Monitoring Committee.

Monitor Reports

The Monitor shall report on Servicer's compliance with this Consent Judgment in periodic reports setting forth his or her findings (the “Monitor Reports”). The first three Monitor Reports will each cover two Quarterly Reports. If the first three Monitor Reports do not find Potential Violations (as defined in Section E.1, below), each successive Monitor Report will cover four Quarterly Reports, unless and until a Quarterly Report reveals a Potential Violation (as defined in Section E.1, below). In the case of a Potential Violation, the Monitor may (but retains the discretion not to) submit a Monitor Report after the filing of each of the next two Quarterly Reports, provided, however, that such additional Monitor Report(s) shall be limited in scope to the Metric or Metrics as to which a Potential Violation has occurred.

Prior to issuing any Monitor Report, the Monitor shall confer with Servicer and the Monitoring Committee regarding its preliminary findings and the reasons for those findings. Servicer shall have the right to submit written comments to the Monitor, which shall be appended to the final version of the Monitor Report. Final versions of each Monitor Report shall be provided simultaneously to the Monitoring Committee and Servicers within a reasonable time after conferring regarding the Monitor's findings. The Monitor Reports shall be filed with the Court overseeing this Consent Judgment and shall also be provided to the Board of Servicer or a committee of the Board designated by Servicer.

The Monitor Report shall: (i) describe the work performed by the Monitor and any findings made by the Monitor's during the relevant period, (ii) list the Metrics and Threshold Error Rates, (iii) list the Metrics, if any, where the Threshold Error Rates have been exceeded, (iv) state whether a Potential Violation has occurred and explain the nature of the Potential Violation, and (v) state whether any Potential Violation has been cured. In addition, following each Satisfaction Review, the Monitor Report shall report on the Servicer's satisfaction of the Consumer Relief Requirements, including regarding the number of

E-7

borrowers assisted and credited activities conducted pursuant to the Consumer Relief Requirements, and identify any material inaccuracies identified in prior State Reports. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Monitor Report may be used in any court hearing, trial, or other proceeding brought pursuant to this Consent Judgment pursuant to Section J, below, and shall be admissible in evidence in a proceeding brought under this Consent Judgment pursuant to Section J, below. Such admissibility shall not prejudice Servicer's right and ability to challenge the findings and/or the statements in the Monitor Report as flawed, lacking in probative value or otherwise. The Monitor Report with respect to a particular Potential Violation shall not be admissible or used for any purpose if Servicer cures the Potential Violation pursuant to Section E, below.

Satisfaction of Payment Obligations

Upon the satisfaction of any category of payment obligation under this Consent Judgment, Servicer, at its discretion, may request that the Monitor certify that Servicer has discharged such obligation. Provided that the Monitor is satisfied that Servicer has met the obligation, the Monitor may not withhold and must provide the requested certification. Any subsequent Monitor Report shall not include a review of Servicer's compliance with that category of payment obligation.

Compensation

Within 120 days of entry of this Consent Judgment, the Monitor shall, in consultation with the Monitoring Committee and Servicer, prepare and present to Monitoring Committee and Servicer an annual budget providing its reasonable best estimate of all fees and expenses of the Monitor to be incurred during the first year of the term of this Consent Judgment, including the fees and expenses of Professionals and support staff (the “Monitoring Budget”). On a yearly basis thereafter, the Monitor shall prepare an updated Monitoring Budget providing its reasonable best estimate of all fees and expenses to be incurred during that year. Absent an objection within 20 days, a Monitoring Budget or updated Monitoring Budget shall be implemented. Consistent with the Monitoring Budget, Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Monitor, including the fees and expenses of Professionals and support staff. The fees, expenses, and costs of the Monitor, Professionals, and support staff shall be reasonable. Servicer may apply to the Court to reduce or disallow fees, expenses, or costs that are unreasonable.


E.	Potential Violations and Right to Cure


1.	A “Potential Violation” of this Consent Judgment occurs if the Servicer has exceeded the Threshold Error Rate set for a Metric in a given Quarter. In the event of a Potential Violation, Servicer shall meet and confer with the Monitoring Committee within 15 days of the Quarterly Report or Monitor Report indicating such Potential Violation.


2.	Servicer shall have a right to cure any Potential Violation.

Subject to Section E.4, a Potential Violation is cured if (a) a corrective action plan approved by the Monitor (the “Corrective Action Plan”) is determined by the Monitor to have been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the terms thereof; and (b) a Quarterly Report covering the Cure Period reflects that the Threshold Error Rate has not been exceeded with respect to the same Metric and the Monitor confirms the accuracy of said report using his or her ordinary testing procedures. The Cure Period shall be the first full quarter after completion of the Corrective Action Plan or, if the completion of the Corrective Action Plan occurs within the first month of a Quarter and if the Monitor determines that there is sufficient time remaining, the period between completion of the Corrective Action Plan and the end of that Quarter.


4.	If after Servicer cures a Potential Violation pursuant to the previous section, another

E-8

violation occurs with respect to the same Metric, then the second Potential Violation shall immediately constitute an uncured violation for purposes of Section J.3, provided, however, that such second Potential Violation occurs in either the Cure Period or the quarter immediately following the Cure Period.

In addition to the Servicer's obligation to cure a Potential Violation through the Corrective Action Plan, Servicer must remediate any material harm to particular borrowers identified through work conducted under the Work Plan. In the event that a Servicer has a Potential Violation that so far exceeds the Threshold Error Rate for a metric that the Monitor concludes that the error is widespread, Servicer shall, under the supervision of the Monitor, identify other borrowers who may have been harmed by such noncompliance and remediate all such harms to the extent that the harm has not been otherwise remediated.


6.	In the event a Potential Violation is cured as provided in Sections E.3, above, then no Party shall have any remedy under this Consent Judgment (other than the remedies in Section E.5) with respect to such Potential Violation.


F.	Confidentiality

These provisions shall govern the use and disclosure of any and all information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” as set forth below, in documents (including email), magnetic media, or other tangible things provided by the Servicer to the Monitor in this case, including the subsequent disclosure by the Monitor to the Monitoring Committee of such information. In addition, it shall also govern the use and disclosure of such information when and if provided to the participating state parties or the participating agency or department of the United States whose claims are released through this settlement (“participating state or federal agency whose claims are released through this settlement”).

The Monitor may, at his discretion, provide to the Monitoring Committee or to a participating state or federal agency whose claims are released through this settlement any documents or information received from the Servicer related to a Potential Violation or related to the review described in Section C.19; provided, however, that any such documents or information so provided shall be subject to the terms and conditions of these provisions. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the Monitor from providing documents received from the Servicer and not designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” to a participating state or federal agency whose claims are released through this settlement.

The Servicer shall designate as “CONFIDENTIAL” that information, document or portion of a document or other tangible thing provided by the Servicer to the Monitor, the Monitoring Committee or to any other participating state or federal agency whose claims are released through this settlement that Servicer believes contains a trade secret or confidential research, development, or commercial information subject to protection under applicable state or federal laws (collectively, “Confidential Information”). These provisions shall apply to the treatment of Confidential Information so designated.


4.	Except as provided by these provisions, all information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” shall not be shown, disclosed or distributed to any person or entity other than those authorized by these provisions. Participating states and federal agencies whose claims are released through this settlement agree to protect Confidential Information to the extent permitted by law.

This agreement shall not prevent or in any way limit the ability of a participating state or federal agency whose claims are released through this settlement to comply with any subpoena, Congressional demand for documents or information, court order, request under the Right of Financial Privacy Act, or a state or federal public records or state or federal freedom of information act request; provided, however, that in the event that a participating state or federal agency whose claims are released through this settlement receives such a

E-9

subpoena, Congressional demand, court order or other request for the production of any Confidential Information covered by this Order, the state or federal agency shall, unless prohibited under applicable law or the unless the state or federal agency would violate or be in contempt of the subpoena, Congressional demand, or court order, (1) notify the Servicer of such request as soon as practicable and in no event more than ten (10) calendar days of its receipt or three calendar days before the return date of the request, whichever is sooner, and (2) allow the Servicer ten (10) calendar days from the receipt of the notice to obtain a protective order or stay of production for the documents or information sought, or to otherwise resolve the issue, before the state or federal agency discloses such documents or information. In all cases covered by this Section, the state or federal agency shall inform the requesting party that the documents or information sought were produced subject to the terms of these provisions.

Dispute Resolution Procedures. Servicer, the Monitor, and the Monitoring Committee will engage in good faith efforts to reach agreement on the proper resolution of any dispute concerning any issue arising under this Consent Judgment, including any dispute or disagreement related to the withholding of consent, the exercise of discretion, or the denial of any application. Subject to Section J, below, in the event that a dispute cannot be resolved, Servicer, the Monitor, or the Monitoring Committee may petition the Court for resolution of the dispute. Where a provision of this agreement requires agreement, consent of, or approval of any application or action by a Party or the Monitor, such agreement, consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Consumer Complaints. Nothing in this Consent Judgment shall be deemed to interfere with existing consumer complaint resolution processes, and the Parties are free to bring consumer complaints to the attention of Servicer for resolution outside the monitoring process. In addition, Servicer will continue to respond in good faith to individual consumer complaints provided to it by State Attorneys General or State Financial Regulators in accordance with the routine and practice existing prior to the entry of this Consent Judgment, whether or not such complaints relate to Covered Conduct released herein.

Relationship to Other Enforcement Actions. Nothing in this Consent Judgment shall affect requirements imposed on the Servicer pursuant to Consent Orders issued by the appropriate Federal Banking Agency (FBA), as defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q), against the Servicer. In conducting their activities under this Consent Judgment, the Monitor and Monitoring Committee shall not impede or otherwise interfere with the Servicer's compliance with the requirements imposed pursuant to such Orders or with oversight and enforcement of such compliance by the FBA.


J.	Enforcement

Consent Judgment. This Consent Judgment shall be filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “Court”) and shall be enforceable therein. Servicer and the Releasing Parties shall waive their rights to seek judicial review or otherwise challenge or contest in any court the validity or effectiveness of this Consent Judgment. Servicer and the Releasing Parties agree not to contest any jurisdictional facts, including the Court's authority to enter this Consent Judgment.

Enforcing Authorities. Servicer's obligations under this Consent Judgment shall be enforceable solely in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. An enforcement action under this Consent Judgment may be brought by any Party to this Consent Judgment or the Monitoring Committee. Monitor Report(s) and Quarterly Report(s) shall not be admissible into evidence by a Party to this Consent Judgment except in an action in the Court to enforce this Consent Judgment. In addition, unless immediate action is necessary in order to prevent irreparable and immediate harm, prior to commencing any enforcement action, a Party must provide notice to the Monitoring Committee of its intent to bring an

E-10

action to enforce this Consent Judgment. The members of the Monitoring Committee shall have no more than 21 days to determine whether to bring an enforcement action. If the members of the Monitoring Committee decline to bring an enforcement action, the Party must wait 21 additional days after such a determination by the members of the Monitoring Committee before commencing an enforcement action.


3.	Enforcement Action. In the event of an action to enforce the obligations of Servicer and to seek remedies for an uncured Potential Violation for which Servicer's time to cure has expired, the sole relief available in such an action will be:


(a)	Equitable Relief. An order directing non-monetary equitable relief, including injunctive relief, directing specific performance under the terms of this Consent Judgment, or other non-monetary corrective action.

(b)

Civil Penalties. The Court may award as civil penalties an amount not more than $1 million per uncured Potential Violation; or, in the event of a second uncured Potential Violation of Metrics 1.a, 1.b, or 2.a (i.e., a Servicer fails the specific Metric in a Quarter, then fails to cure that Potential Violation, and then in subsequent Quarters, fails the same Metric again in a Quarter and fails to cure that Potential Violation again in a subsequent Quarter), where the final uncured Potential Violation involves widespread noncompliance with that Metric, the Court may award as civil penalties an amount not more than $5 million for the second uncured Potential Violation.

Nothing in this Section shall limit the availability of remedial compensation to harmed borrowers as provided in Section E.5.


(c)	Any penalty or payment owed by Servicer pursuant to the Consent Judgment shall be paid to the clerk of the Court or as otherwise agreed by the Monitor and the Servicer and distributed by the Monitor as follows:


1.	In the event of a penalty based on a violation of a term of the Servicing Standards that is not specifically related to conduct in bankruptcy, the penalty shall be allocated, first, to cover the costs incurred by any state or states in prosecuting the violation, and second, among the participating states according to the same allocation as the State Payment Settlement Amount.


2.	In the event of a penalty based on a violation of a term of the Servicing Standards that is specifically related to conduct in bankruptcy, the penalty shall be allocated to the United States or as otherwise directed by the Director of the United States Trustee Program.


3.	In the event of a payment due under Paragraph 10.d of the Consumer Relief requirements, 50% of the payment shall be allocated to the United States, and 50% shall be allocated to the State Parties to the Consent Judgment, divided among them in a manner consistent with the allocation in Exhibit B of the Consent Judgment.

Sunset. This Consent Judgment and all Exhibits shall retain full force and effect for three and one-half years from the date it is entered (the “Term”), unless otherwise specified in the Exhibit. Servicer shall submit a final Quarterly Report for the last quarter or portion thereof falling within the Term, and shall cooperate with the Monitor's review of said report, which shall be concluded no later than six months following the end of the Term, after which time Servicer shall have no further obligations under this Consent Judgment.

(b)Subject to the exceptions in Paragraph 11 (concerning excluded claims) below, the United States fully and finally releases the COMPANY and any current or former affiliated entity (to the extent the COMPANY retains liabilities associated with such former affiliated entity), and any of their respective successors or assigns, as well as any current or former director, current or former officer, and current or former employee of any of the foregoing, individually and collectively, from any civil or administrative claims it has or may have and from any civil or administrative remedies or penalties (expressly including punitive or exemplary damages) it may seek or impose under FIRREA, the False Claims Act, and the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act where the sole basis for such claim or claims is that the COMPANY or any current or former affiliated entity (to the extent the COMPANY retains liabilities associated with such former affiliated entity) or any of their respective successors or assigns, submitted to HUD-FHA prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on February 8, 2012 a false or fraudulent annual certification that the mortgagee had “conform[ed] to all HUD-FHA regulations necessary to maintain its HUD-FHA approval” (including, but not limited to, the requirement that the mortgagee implement and maintain a quality control program that conforms to HUD-FHA requirements), or “complied with and agree[d] to continue to comply with HUD-FHA regulations, handbooks, Mortgagee Letters, Title I Letters, policies, and terms of any agreements entered into with the Department under HUD's Direct Endorsement Program.” For avoidance of doubt, this Paragraph means that the United States is barred from asserting that a false annual certification renders the COMPANY or any current or former affiliated entity (to the extent the COMPANY retains liabilities associated with such former affiliated entity) liable under the False Claims Act and the other laws cited above for loans endorsed by the COMPANY or its affiliated entity for FHA insurance during the period of time applicable to the annual certification without regard to whether any such loans contain material violations of HUD-FHA requirements, or that a false individual loan certification that “this mortgage is eligible for HUD mortgage insurance under the Direct Endorsement program” renders the COMPANY or any current or former affiliated entity (to the extent the COMPANY retains liabilities associated with such former affiliated

F-13

entity) liable under the False Claims Act for any individual loan that does not contain a material violation of HUD-FHA requirements. However, this Paragraph does not (i) release, bar or otherwise preclude the right of the United States to pursue any civil or administrative claims or remedies it has or may have, or release or preclude under res judicata or collateral estoppel theories any civil or administrative remedies or penalties it may seek or impose, against the COMPANY, any current or former affiliated entity (to the extent the COMPANY retains liabilities associated with such former affiliated entity), and any of their respective successors or assigns, for conduct with respect to the insurance of residential mortgage loans that violates any laws, regulations or other HUD-FHA requirements applicable to the insurance of residential mortgage loans by HUD, including, but not limited to, material violations of any applicable HUD-FHA requirements with respect to an individual loan or loans, except if and to the extent such claim, remedy or penalty is based solely on such entity's failure to provide HUD with an accurate annual certification as described above; (ii) release or otherwise bar the United States from introducing evidence of any alleged failure to comply with applicable HUD-FHA requirements, including, but not limited to, sufficient quality control, underwriting or due diligence programs, in any way (including, but not limited to, for the purpose of proving intent) in connection with any claim that there was a material violation(s) of applicable HUD-FHA requirements with respect to an individual loan or loans that would subject the COMPANY or an affiliated entity to liability under the False Claims Act or any other federal statutory or common law administrative or judicial claim; or (iii) permit the COMPANY or its affiliates to offset or otherwise reduce any potential liability for such claims or remedies by any amount paid under the Consent Judgment. The parties agree that the issue of whether and to what extent the United States may use statistical sampling of individual loans or similar techniques for calculating damages or proving material violations of HUD-FHA underwriting requirements with respect to a pool of loans is not addressed by the Consent Judgment and shall be governed by the law of the relevant administrative or judicial forum of any future dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no instance shall this Release relieve the COMPANY or any affiliated entity from the obligation to remedy, upon identification, defects of title or such other

F-14

problems caused by the acts or omissions of the COMPANY or an affiliated entity that may preclude FHA from accepting assignment or paying a claim for which FHA lacks statutory authority pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1707(a) and § 1710(a)(1)(B), in which case FHA shall reconvey the property back to the COMPANY or affiliated entity to remedy the defect in title or such other problem and the COMPANY or affiliated entity shall convey the property back to FHA once the defect or problem is cured.

Nothing in the foregoing shall be interpreted to release the right of the United States to pursue any civil or administrative claims it has or may have, or to release any civil or administrative remedies or penalties it may seek or impose, against the COMPANY, any current or former affiliated entity (to the extent the COMPANY retains liabilities associated with such former affiliated entity), and any of their respective successors or assigns, based on Covered Origination Conduct that violates the laws or regulations applicable to the guaranty of residential mortgage loans by VA with respect to any residential mortgage loan or loans, except if and to the extent such claim, remedy or penalty is based on such entity's failure to provide VA with an accurate general

F-15

program compliance certification, to implement an effective quality control plan, or to conform to all VA regulations necessary to maintain the authority of the COMPANY or any current or former affiliated entity to close VA-guaranteed loans on an automatic basis.

Nothing in the foregoing shall be interpreted to release the right of the United States to pursue any civil or administrative claims it has or may have, or to release any civil or administrative remedies or penalties it may seek or impose, against the COMPANY, any current or former affiliated entity (to the extent the COMPANY retains liabilities associated with such former affiliated entity), and any of their respective successors or assigns, based on Covered Origination Conduct that violates the laws or regulations applicable to the guaranty of residential mortgage loans by USDA with respect to any residential mortgage loan or loans, except if and to the extent such claim, remedy or penalty is based on such entity's failure to provide USDA with an accurate general program compliance certification, to implement an effective quality control plan, or on statements made in the COMPANY's or current or former affiliated entity's application for approved lender status in the Single Family Housing Guaranteed

F-16

Loan Program.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Treasury, in connection with the Making Home Affordable Program, reserves the right to continue to perform compliance reviews on the COMPANY's Making Home Affordable Program activities occurring prior to February 8, 2012, to require non-financial remedies with respect to such activities, and to publicly release servicer assessments with respect thereto. If, as the result of any such compliance review occurring after February 8, 2012, Treasury determines that the COMPANY or any of its affiliated entities have not adequately corrected identified instances of noncompliance that occurred prior to the date specified in the first sentence of this Paragraph

F-17

and were communicated to COMPANY or any of its affiliated entities by Treasury in a letter dated March 9, 2012, Treasury reserves the right to adjust any Making Home Affordable Program incentive payments made or owed to the COMPANY or any of its affiliated entities with respect to those identified instances of noncompliance. In addition, with respect to instances of noncompliance that occur after February 8, 2012, Treasury reserves the right to exercise all available remedies, both financial and non-financial, under the Making Home Affordable Program Commitment to Purchase Financial Instrument and Servicer Participation Agreement, as amended, between Treasury and COMPANY or any of its affiliated entities (“the SPA”).

II.	Compensation for Servicemembers and Co-Borrowers

Violations of Section 521 of the SCRA related to completed foreclosures on active duty servicemembers: Servicer will engage an independent consultant whose duties shall include a review of all completed foreclosures from January 1, 2006 to the present to evaluate whether the completed foreclosures were in compliance with Section 521 of the SCRA.

receiving the above-referenced approvals by DOJ. The independent consultant shall submit the results of its review to DOJ within 150 days after it receives the data necessary for its analysis from the Department of Defense's Defense Manpower Data Center (“DMDC”), providing relevant periods of military service of borrowers for completed foreclosures from January 1, 2006 to present. Based on the information gathered by the independent consultant, information submitted by Servicer, and DOJ's independent investigation, DOJ shall make the determination reasonably based on the information it has received and its investigative conclusions whether or not a completed foreclosure was in compliance with the SCRA. In the event Servicer disagrees with the DOJ's determination, Servicer shall be afforded 30 days to produce evidence of compliance, which DOJ shall consider in good faith. Where DOJ determines that a foreclosure was not in compliance with the SCRA, Servicer shall compensate the borrowers (i.e., any individual(s) who signed the note with respect to a foreclosed property) by providing:

(1) an amount of $116,785.00 to the servicemember-borrower or an amount consistent with what was provided under the OCC Consent Order Independent Review Process for similar violations of Section 521 of the SCRA, whichever is higher;

(2) any lost equity in the foreclosed property, as calculated by: subtracting:


(a)	any outstanding principal, interest, and other amounts owing by the borrowers (excluding any fees associated with foreclosure) at the time of foreclosure, plus any junior liens and any disbursements made to the servicemember or a third party other than a junior lien holder from the proceeds of the foreclosure sale (exclusive of any fees associated with the foreclosure) from


(b)	Either:


i.	a contemporaneous appraisal reflecting the value of the home at the time of foreclosure;

H-3


ii.	a BPO or other desktop determination of property valuation that results in property valuations reasonably consistent⁴ with those contained in contemporaneous appraisals; or


iii.	closa retroactive appraisal reflecting the value of the home at the time of foreure; and

(3) interest accrued on this lost equity, calculated from the date of the foreclosure sale until the date payment is issued, at the rate set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1961.⁵While the amount described in subsection (1) shall be paid entirely to the servicemember-borrower on the note securing the mortgage, the amounts described in subsections (2) and (3) shall be distributed among all owners (including non-servicemember owners) on the deed.⁶ In cases where Servicer has already taken remedial actions with respect to a foreclosure which DOJ determines did not comply with Section 521 of the SCRA, DOJ shall consider such remedial actions and adjust the compensation to be awarded to the subject borrower or mortgagor.⁷ DOJ will submit lists or electronic links to, the Servicer identifying servicemembers or co-borrowers to be compensated, and Servicer must notify each identified servicemember or co-borrower (using best efforts to locate each person) by letter (using Exhibit 1 or a modified version mutually agreeable to Servicer and DOJ) within 45 days of receiving this list. Any letters returned with forwarding addresses must be promptly mailed to the forwarding address. Servicer shall issue and mail compensation

____________________________

⁴Before Servicer may rely on a BPO or desktop determination for purposes of this subsection, Servicer must first obtain DOJ approval that the methodology for the BPO or desktop determination results in property valuations reasonably consistent with a contemporaneous appraisal. DOJ shall not unreasonably withhold such approval.

⁵ The independent consultant shall calculate the lost equity and interest described herein as part of its review.

⁶If information is available regarding percentages of ownership interest in the subject property, the amounts described in subsections (2) and (3) will be distributed in amounts proportionate to the ownership interests. Otherwise, amounts described in subsections (2) and (3) will be distributed equally among owners.

⁷In determining the amount of compensation due to any servicemember or co-borrower pursuant to Subsection II.a, DOJ will credit any monetary compensation or other remediation efforts, including returning the home to the borrower, already provided to any servicemember or co-borrower for alleged compliance issues pursuant to Section 521 of the SCRA and arising from the same mortgage. In the event that a servicemember located through the OCC Independent Consultant review process elects to receive the return of his or her home in lieu of a flat fee damages payment pursuant to the OCC Consent Order remediation plan (which payment shall not be less than the amount provided in Section II.a.1 for violations of Section 521 of the SCRA and arising from the same mortgage, the servicemember shall be compensated pursuant to the terms of the OCC Consent Order remediation plan rather than Section II.a of this agreement.

checks no later than 21 days after receipt of a signed release from the servicemember or co-borrower aggrieved person. Every 6 months for a period of two years following entry of this agreement, Servicer shall provide the DOJ with an accounting of all releases received, checks issued (including copies of issued checks), credit entries repaired, and notifications without responses or that were returned as undeliverable.

Violations of Section 527 of the SCRA related to failing to limit interest rates to 6% on SCRA-covered mortgage debt: Servicer shall conduct a review of its compliance with Section 527 of the SCRA as described in the Consent Order entered in United States v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP. The independent auditor shall submit the results of its review within 120 days after entry of this agreement. Based on the information gathered by the independent auditor in the sample review, information submitted by the Servicer, and DOJ's independent investigation, DOJ shall make the determination, reasonably based on the information it has received and its investigative conclusions, whether or not potential violations of Section 527 occurred and whether or not the level of compliance revealed by the report necessitates expansion of the analysis by the independent auditor to an exhaustive review including all requests for interest rate protection on mortgage loans from January 1, 2008 to the present. In the event Servicer disagrees with the DOJ's determination of a violation, either with regard to exceptions located during the sample review or exceptions located during an exhaustive review if required, Servicer shall be afforded 30 days to produce evidence of compliance, which DOJ shall consider in good faith. Where DOJ determines that a mortgage loan was not serviced in compliance with Section 527, Servicer shall: (1) refund (with interest, as calculated pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961) all interest and fees charged above 6%; and (2) provide an additional payment of $500 or triple the amount of the refund referenced in subsection (1), whichever amount is larger.⁸The compensation described in subsection (1) shall be distributed equally among

____________________________

⁸The independent consultant shall calculate the amounts described herein as part of its review.

H-5

all borrowers (including non-servicemember borrowers) on the note secured by the mortgage. The compensation described in subsection (2) shall be paid entirely to the servicemember. In cases where Servicer has already taken remedial actions with respect to a mortgage which DOJ determines did not comply with Section 527 of the SCRA, DOJ shall consider such remedial actions and adjust the compensation to be awarded to the subject servicemember, borrower, or mortgagor.⁹DOJ will submit lists or electronic links to the Servicer of identified servicemembers or co-borrowers to be compensated, and Servicer must notify each identified servicemember or co-borrower (using best efforts to locate each person) by letter (using Exhibit 2 or a modified version mutually agreeable to Servicer and DOJ) within 60 days of receiving this list of servicemembers or co-borrowers to be compensated. Any letters returned with forwarding addresses must be promptly mailed to the forwarding address. Servicer shall issue and mail compensation checks no later than 21 days of receipt of a signed release from the servicemember or co-borrower aggrieved person. Every 6 months for a period of two years following entry of this agreement, Servicer shall provide the DOJ with an accounting of all releases received, checks issued (including copies of issued checks), credit entries repaired and notifications without responses or that were returned as undeliverable.

Concurrent with providing financial compensation to the servicemember-borrower, Servicer must request that all three major credit bureaus remove negative entries for the servicemember(s) and any co-borrower(s) attributable specifically to the wrongful foreclosure or interest overcharges and Servicer shall not pursue, and must indemnify the servicemember and his or her co-borrower(s) against any third-party pursuing, any deficiency that was remaining on the servicemember's SCRA-protected mortgage or junior

____________________________

⁹In determining whether any compensation is due to any servicemember or co-borrower pursuant to Subsection II.b and, if so, the amount, DOJ will consider the timing of any remedial actions and will credit any monetary compensation already provided to any servicemember or co-borrower for alleged compliance issues pursuant to Section 527 of the SCRA and arising from the same mortgage, and/or provided under the OCC Consent Order Independent Consultant review process for violations of Section 527 of the SCRA and arising from the same mortgage.

H-6

lien after a foreclosure was completed in violation of the SCRA.


d.	Servicer shall have 10 days after DOJ's final determination that a foreclosure was not in compliance with the SCRA or a mortgage loan was not serviced in compliance with Section 527, to seek judicial review on the ground that DOJ made a clearly erroneous factual determination.


III.	SCRA Compliance Policies

a.Servicer shall submit SCRA mortgage loan interest rate-related policies to DOJ for review and approval.¹⁰ If the Servicer decides to make a material modification to these policies, Servicer will provide the modified policies for review and approval. DOJ will advise Servicer of the results of DOJ's review within 60 days of receipt of a complete submission of all SCRA mortgage loan interest rate-related policies and any subsequent material modifications. In addition to the areas covered under Article V of the Settlement Agreement, these policies must address:

Servicer shall accept servicemembers' requests for reduced mortgage interest rates pursuant to the SCRA via electronic mail, facsimile, U.S. Mail, Federal Express or other overnight/express delivery to facsimile numbers and addresses designated by the Servicer. Within six months after entry of this agreement, Servicer shall also accept servicemembers' requests for reduced mortgage interest rates pursuant to the SCRA via in-person delivery at the Servicer's full-service branch locations, should the Servicer maintain branch locations.


ii.	When a servicemember requests interest rate relief under the SCRA, Servicer shall accept orders as defined in the Settlement Agreement or any other document that the DOD shall deem sufficient as a substitute for official orders.

____________________________

¹⁰Under the consent order entered in United States v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP (C.D. Cal.), BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, formerly known as Countrywide Home Loans Servicing, LP, is required to adopt policies to ensure compliance with the SCRA's Section 533 and 521 foreclosure provisions and to implement a monitoring program to ensure compliance with those provisions.

H-7


iii.	Servicer shall seek only orders identifying the beginning date of the applicable period of military service from the requesting servicemember and may not condition providing SCRA benefits on the servicemember submitting orders that include an end date.

iv.

Before concluding that the SCRA permits raising the interest rate on the servicemember's loan higher than six percent, the Servicer shall access the DMDC website to determine the dates, where available, of active duty military service of those servicemembers who request reduced interest rates pursuant to the SCRA. If DMDC indicates that the individual is still on active duty, the Servicer must continue to limit the charges pursuant to Section 527 of the SCRA.


v.	For those servicemembers who request a reduced interest rate pursuant to the SCRA, but are determined not to be eligible for the reduced rate, Servicer shall notify the servicemembers in writing of the reasons for the denial and that they may provide additional documentation or information to establish eligibility for the reduced interest rate.

In the event that DOJ requires a change or modification pursuant to this agreement that is in conflict with a policy required by the appropriate Federal Banking Agency (FBA), as defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q), under the Consent Order issued against the Servicer by the FBA on April 13, 2011, and the FBA will not consent to the change, DOJ shall meet and confer with the FBA to resolve the conflict. Nothing in this agreement prevents DOJ from requiring Servicer to adopt policies that provide additional protections beyond the policies required by the FBA.


IV.	Training and Monitoring Program


a.	Under paragraph 15 of the Consent Order in United States v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP is required to submit its proposed SCRA training

H-8

program to DOJ, which then has an opportunity to raise objections to the program. Within 45 days after entry of this agreement, Servicer shall provide the new portions of its SCRA training program (relating to provisions in this agreement that were not part of the Consent Order in United States v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP) to DOJ for approval. After receiving DOJ's approval, Servicer shall provide and require training on the SCRA and this settlement for employees (including management officials) involved in mortgage servicing, providing customer service to servicemembers, or adjusting interest rates for mortgage loans, within 60 days of DOJ's approval (if already employed in such a position), or within 30 days of his or her hiring, promotion or transfer.¹¹

Servicer shall implement a monitoring program approved by DOJ designed to ensure compliance with this settlement and the SCRA. At a minimum, monitoring will include a quarterly report to be submitted to DOJ¹² within 60 days after the end of each quarter containing an analysis of a sample of judicial default foreclosures and a sample of mortgages where a borrower or mortgagor submitted orders seeking protection under Section 527 of the SCRA to determine compliance with the SCRA and this settlement. If Servicer learns that despite the policies required by Section III a violation of Section 521 or 527 has occurred, Servicer will take corrective action as set forth in Section II of this agreement.


V.	Term of Agreement

This agreement shall retain full force and effect for three and one half years from the date it is entered (the “Term”). Servicer's obligation pursuant to Section III to submit quarterly reports and DOJ's review of the same shall continue for the six months following the Term, after which time Servicer shall have no further obligations under this agreement.

____________________________

¹¹Employees who have already been trained on their obligations under the SCRA pursuant to the Consent Order in United States v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, Servicer need not be retrained on the same material pursuant to this agreement. The training of those employees may be limited to the new portions of the training stemming from this agreement.

¹² All materials required by this Order to be sent to the Department of Justice shall be sent by commercial overnight delivery service addressed as follows: Chief, Housing and Civil Enforcement Section, Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 1800 G Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20006, Attn: DJ 216-16-5.

BANK OF AMERICA/COUNTRYWIDE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT


1.	Financial Terms. Total settlement obligation of $3,232,415,075.00 (“BOA/CFC Settlement Amount”), in the manner provided below and subject to the terms and conditions provided herein.

Pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Consent Judgment, $2,382,415,075.00 (“Initial BOA/CFC Settlement Payment”) shall be paid by electronic funds transfer no later than seven days after the Effective Date of the Consent Judgment, in accordance with written instructions to be provided by the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and shall be distributed in the manner and for the purposes identified in Paragraph 1 of Exhibit B to the Consent Judgment.


b.	BOA/CFC shall also be responsible for their share of attorneys' fees for qui tam relators.

$850,000,000.00 (“Deferred BOA/CFC Settlement Payment”) shall be paid by electronic funds transfer no later than thirty days after the third anniversary of the Effective Date of the Consent Judgment (or, if a request for a Certification of Compliance is pending at that time or if BOA/CFC are exercising their right to cure pursuant to Paragraph 4.c, thirty days after such request is denied and any dispute with respect to such denial is resolved or thirty days after BOA/CFC have failed to cure such deficiency), in accordance with written instructions to be provided by DOJ, to be deposited, subject to 28 U.S.C. § 527 (Note), into the Federal Housing Administration's (“FHA”) Capital Reserve Account in the manner and for the purposes identified in Paragraph 1.a.i of Exhibit B to the Consent Judgment, except that:


i.	As provided in Paragraph 3.a, BOA/CFC shall have no obligation to make the Deferred BOA/CFC Settlement Payment if the Monitor has issued a Certification of Compliance pursuant to Paragraph 4.a; and


ii.	As provided in Paragraph 3.b, BOA/CFC shall have an obligation to make only a partial Deferred BOA/CFC Settlement Payment if the Monitor has issued a Certification of Partial Compliance pursuant to Paragraph 4.b.


2.	Settlement Loan Modification Program. BOA/CFC shall conduct a one-time nationwide modification program to be offered to underwater borrowers with economic hardship on first-lien loans (“Settlement Loan Modification Program”).


a.	BOA/CFC shall solicit, in accordance with the Settlement Loan Modification Program Solicitation Requirements, all Potentially Eligible Borrowers with mortgages meeting conditions (i) through (v) in the definition of Eligible Mortgage in Paragraph 7.d.


b.	As of the Effective Date of the Consent Judgment, BOA/CFC shall defer any foreclosure sale on a Potentially Eligible Borrower with a mortgage meeting conditions (i) through (v) in the definition of Eligible Mortgage in Paragraph 7.d until the Settlement Loan Modification Program Solicitation Requirements have been completed with respect to that borrower.


c.	Borrowers with mortgages meeting conditions (i) through (v) in the definition of Eligible Mortgage in Paragraph 7.d who are not Potentially Eligible Borrowers may apply for a Settlement Loan Modification. However, BOA/CFC are not required to solicit such borrowers.


d.	Unless otherwise required by law, BOA/CFC shall require only the Required Documentation, consistent with the FHA's verification of income standards, in connection with an application for a Settlement Loan Modification.

Subject to Paragraph 2.f, and notwithstanding whether BOA/CFC have satisfied their minimum requirement under Part 1 of the Consumer Relief Requirements, BOA/CFC shall provide a Settlement Loan Modification to any borrower (other than a borrower who chooses not to provide written consent under Paragraph 2.h) who holds an Eligible Mortgage and who satisfies the conditions for the offer set forth in Paragraphs 7.g-h and accepts the offer (unless such borrower is not a Potentially Eligible Borrower and BOA/CFC no longer own the mortgage servicing rights for the relevant loan).

Borrowers who qualify for and accept a Settlement Loan Modification shall get a trial offer. If the borrower remains current for ninety days following commencement of the trial, the loan modification shall, on written acceptance by the borrower, become permanent and BOA/CFC shall return the loan to normal servicing. BOA/CFC shall promptly, after successful completion of the trial, send the borrower documentation of the modification for acceptance of the modification by the borrower.


g.	The Settlement Loan Modification Program shall use the United States Department of the Treasury's (“Treasury”) Net Present Value Model, including any amendments thereto.

With respect to any borrower who has ever been eligible to be referred to foreclosure consistent with the requirements of the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) and, with written consent (it being understood that, so long as the borrower states he or she consents to be evaluated under the Settlement Loan Modification Program in lieu of HAMP and such statement is reflected by BOA/CFC in their servicing system or mortgage file, such written consent will be obtained only from borrowers who enter into a final modification agreement under the Settlement Loan Modification Program), any other borrower who is eligible for HAMP, BOA/CFC may, in lieu of any evaluation of such borrower under HAMP TIER 1 or TIER 2, evaluate such borrower under the Settlement Loan Modification Program. With respect to any borrower potentially eligible for both HAMP and the Settlement Loan Modification Program, (i) BOA/CFC agree to provide internal Quality Assurance (“QA”) coverage to the loans subject to the terms of this Agreement and potentially eligible for HAMP (which include HAMP TIER 1 and, once effective, HAMP TIER 2) (the “HAMP Eligible Loans”), substantially similar to QA coverage for loans eligible for the Making

I-2

Home Affordable (“MHA”) program; (ii) BOA/CFC agree to allow Treasury and its compliance agent for the MHA program the right to review the nature and scope of testing, results of the testing, and the execution of remediation plans derived from the testing on the HAMP Eligible Loans; (iii) BOA/CFC agree to implement any reasonable recommendations from Treasury and its compliance agent to improve the QA testing of the HAMP Eligible Loans; and (iv) BOA/CFC shall provide a monthly report to Treasury detailing (A) the aggregate number of borrowers who have accepted a modification under the Settlement Loan Modification Program, both on a monthly basis and a cumulative basis (excluding those identified in response to clause (B)); (B) the aggregate number of borrowers who consented to be evaluated for a modification under the Settlement Loan Modification Program in lieu of a HAMP TIER 1 or TIER 2 modification and accepted a modification under the Settlement Loan Modification Program, both on a monthly basis and a cumulative basis; and (C) the cumulative number of completed Settlement Loan Modification Program modifications from (A) and (B) that are still outstanding and current (defined as not more than 59 days past due) as of such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any borrower whose consent is required to be evaluated for the Settlement Loan Modification Program in lieu of evaluation of such borrower under HAMP TIER 1 or TIER 2 may, if such borrower is denied a Settlement Loan Modification, thereafter request to be evaluated for HAMP TIER 1 or TIER 2.


i.	Settlement Loan Modifications shall be treated as Qualified Loss Mitigation Plan modifications.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, credit for obligations with respect to the Deferred BOA/CFC Settlement Payment shall be provided for first-lien principal forgiven and shall be calculated in accordance with Exhibit D to the Consent Judgment. Credit shall be provided for first-lien principal forgiven, whether under the Settlement Loan Modification Program or otherwise. BOA/CFC shall begin to receive credit against the Deferred BOA/CFC Settlement Payment once they exceed their minimum requirement under Part 1 of the Consumer Relief Requirements (i.e., 30% of total consumer relief funds, subject to a reduction of 2.5% as a result of excess refinancing program credits); provided, however, that BOA/CFC shall retain, in their sole discretion, the right to apply first-lien principal forgiven in excess of their minimum requirement under Part 1 of the Consumer Relief Requirements to other aspects of the Consumer Relief Requirements.


3.	Satisfaction of Obligations.


a.	If the Monitor issues a Certification of Compliance pursuant to Paragraph 4.a, BOA/CFC shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligation under Paragraph 1.c.

If the Monitor issues a Certification of Partial Compliance pursuant to Paragraph 4.b, BOA/CFC shall be deemed to have partially satisfied their obligation under Paragraph 1.c. If the Monitor issues a Certification of Partial Compliance pursuant to Paragraph 4.b, the amount owed under Paragraph 1.c shall be reduced by the amount that BOA/CFC exceeded their minimum requirement under Part 1 of the Consumer Relief Requirements.

I-3

Compliance. BOA/CFC may request that the Monitor issue a Certification of Compliance or Certification of Partial Compliance at any time before thirty days after the third anniversary of the Effective Date of the Consent Judgment. In connection with such request, BOA/CFC may inform the Monitor that BOA/CFC have complied with the conditions required for the issuance of the applicable Certification of Compliance or Certification of Partial Compliance, as set forth in Paragraphs 4.a-b. The Monitor shall act expeditiously to determine if such a Certification of Compliance or Certification of Partial Compliance is warranted and may take steps necessary to verify that the conditions required for the issuance of the applicable Certification of Compliance or Certification of Partial Compliance have been satisfied, using methods consistent with Exhibit E to the Consent Judgment (Enforcement Terms). The Monitor and BOA/CFC shall work together in good faith to resolve any disagreements or discrepancies with respect to a Certification of Compliance or Certification of Partial Compliance. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved, the Monitor or BOA/CFC may petition the Court for resolution in accordance with Section G of Exhibit E to the Consent Judgment (Enforcement Terms).

The Monitor shall issue a Certification of Compliance if BOA/CFC (i) materially complied with the Settlement Loan Modification Program Solicitation Requirements; (ii) provided a Settlement Loan Modification to materially all Potentially Eligible Borrowers (excluding borrowers who chose not to provide written consent under Paragraph 2.h) with an Eligible Mortgage who satisfied the conditions for the offer set forth in Paragraphs 7.g-h and accepted the offer; and (iii) the total amount of first-lien principal forgiven exceeds BOA/CFC's minimum requirement under Part 1 of the Consumer Relief Requirements by at least $850,000,000.00. At BOA/CFC's request, the Monitor may make determination (i) prior to, and independently of, making determinations (ii) and (iii).


b.	If BOA/CFC exceed their minimum requirement under Part 1 of the Consumer Relief Requirements by an amount less than the Deferred BOA/CFC Settlement Payment, the Monitor shall issue a Certification of Partial Compliance. Such Certification of Partial Compliance shall specify the exact amount by which BOA/CFC exceeded their minimum requirement under Part 1 of the Consumer Relief Requirements.

The Monitor shall provide BOA/CFC notice and an opportunity to cure if he or she determines (i) during the three years after the Effective Date of the Consent Judgment, that BOA/CFC are not in material compliance with the Settlement Loan Modification Program Solicitation Requirements, or (ii) that BOA/CFC have not provided a Settlement Loan Modification to materially all Potentially Eligible Borrowers (excluding borrowers who chose not to provide written consent under Paragraph 2.h) with an Eligible Mortgage who satisfied the conditions for the offer set forth in Paragraphs 7.g-h and accepted the resulting offer.


5.	Releases.


a.

(as in effect on February 9, 2012); for the purposes of this provision only, a modification is considered to be permitted if it would not subject BOA/CFC to adverse action under such law, directive or contract, such as indemnity, mandatory buy-in, compromise of insurance coverage, fines or penalties.


vi.	The borrower has a debt-to-income ratio (“DTI”) of 25% or greater.


e.	PMMS. PMMS is the Primary Mortgage Market Survey promulgated by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or any successor thereto.


f.	Potentially Eligible Borrower. A Potentially Eligible Borrower is a borrower who meets the following criteria:


i.	The borrower presently holds the mortgage and was the owner-occupant of the residential property securing the mortgage at the time of origination.


ii.	The borrower has not previously defaulted on a modification that afforded terms equal to or more favorable than those in the HAMP guidelines.

ix.	Non-Borrower Income - With respect to non-borrower income, BOA/CFC shall apply the above rules depending upon type of income being used for qualifying non-borrower.


h.	Settlement Loan Modification. A Settlement Loan Modification is a modification made according to the following priority:


i.	All delinquent interest payments and late fees will be capitalized.


ii.	Principal will be forgiven in the amount necessary to achieve a DTI of 25%, subject to the provision that the LTV need not be reduced below 100%.

iii.

If, following the principal reduction step, DTI is above 31%, the interest rate will be reduced to the extent necessary to achieve a DTI of 31%, but in no event will the interest rate be reduced below 2% (beginning at year five, any reduced interest rate will be adjusted upward, so as to increase the net present value (“NPV”) of modifications). HAMP step rate requirements will be utilized, as summarized below:


1.	Modified rate no lower than 2% is in effect for five years.


2.	At the end of five years, the rate steps up at (up to) 1% per year, until the PMMS rate in effect at the time of the modification is reached (rounded to the nearest eighth).


3.	Once the PMMS rate is reached, then the rate is fixed for the remainder of the loan term.


iv.	If, following the interest rate reduction step, DTI is above 31%, provide payment relief through forbearance until the end of the term of the loan in the amount necessary to achieve a DTI of 31%.


v.	Consistent with HAMP, the combined impact of forgiveness and forbearance will go no lower than a floor of 70% LTV.

I-8

vi.

In all instances, the adjustments must be limited so as to provide a positive NPV, with the calculation based on the Treasury NPV model outcome. If, following the priority above, the modification produces a negative NPV, the steps in the priority will be adjusted (in reverse order) to produce successive 1% increases in DTI (but in no event higher than 42%), and the NPV model will be re-run after each 1% payment adjustment. Modifications will be offered at the lowest DTI solution that is NPV-positive. There will be no modification if payments greater than 42% DTI are required to make the modification NPV-positive. BOA/CFC will be able to receive no more than 15% of their overall credit for First-Lien Mortgage Modifications under Exhibit D to the Consent Judgment from loans for which the modification is altered under this Paragraph 7.h.vi because the modification would otherwise have produced a negative NPV.


vii.	Subject to Paragraphs 7.h.i-vi, and the provision that LTV need not be reduced below 100%, there is no percentage limit on the reduction of unpaid principal balances.


i.	Settlement Loan Modification Program Solicitation Requirements. The Settlement Loan Modification Program Solicitation Requirements shall meet at least the following requirements:


i.	If no Right Party Contact, as defined in Chapter II of the MHA Handbook, is established with the borrower since delinquency, BOA/CFC shall make a minimum of four telephone calls over a period of at least thirty days, at different times of the day.


ii.	If no Right Party Contact is established with the borrower since delinquency, BOA/CFC shall send two proactive solicitations with a thirty-day response period, one via certified mail and the other via regular mail.


iii.	Any contact with borrowers, whether by telephone, mail or otherwise, shall advise borrowers that they may be eligible for the Settlement Loan Modification Program.


iv.	If Right Party Contact is established over the phone and the borrower expresses interest in the Settlement Loan Modification Program, BOA/CFC shall send one reactive package with a fifteen-day response period.


v.	If the borrower does not respond by submitting the Required Documentation, BOA/CFC shall send another reactive package with a fifteen-day response period.


vi.	If Right Party Contact is established but the borrower submits an incomplete set of the Required Documentation, BOA/CFC shall exhaust any remaining reasonable effort calls to complete the Required Documentation before declining these loans.

I-9
