Sales of MSRs While the Company has historically retained MSRs on its Balance sheet from the majority of its loan sales, the Company has entered into contracts to sell substantially all of its existing MSR assets in a series of transactions as part of the conclusions reached from the strategic review process. If the sales of these MSRs are completed, the Company does not anticipate retaining a significant amount of capitalized MSRs owned in the future. The final proceeds the Company may receive from each MSR sale are dependent on the portfolio composition and market conditions at each transfer date and are also dependent upon the extent to which consent is received from the GSEs, private loan investors, PLS clients and other origination sources. The following table summarizes the Company's MSRs and its commitments under sale agreements, based on the portfolio as of June 30, 2017 : June 30, 2017 UPB Fair Value (In millions) MSR commitments: New Residential Investment Corp. $ 49,118 $ 403 Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC 1,989 12 Other counterparties 1,240 12 MSRs capitalized under secured borrowing arrangements and subserviced 13,084 114 Non-committed 1,586 14 Total MSRs $ 67,017 $ 555 In addition, the Company has commitments to transfer approximately $220 million of Servicing advances to the counterparties of these agreements (based on the June 30, 2017 portfolio). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company received $20 million and $91 million , respectively, in cash from sales of MSRs that have been de-recognized from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets . For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company received an additional $102 million in cash from sales of MSRs that have been accounted for as a secured borrowing arrangement.

On May 2, 2017 , an additional sale of GNMA MSRs was completed, representing $1.0 billion of unpaid principal balance, $7 million of MSR fair value, and $1 million of Servicing advances with total expected proceeds of $8 million from this transfer.

See Note 11, 'Fair Value Measurements' for a discussion of the secured borrowing arrangement. The consummation of substantially all of the remaining MSRs and related advances contemplated by this sale agreement after the June and July sales is subject to the approvals of multiple counterparties, including origination sources, investors and trustees, as well as other customary closing requirements. In connection with the agreement, the Company entered into a subservicing agreement with New Residential, pursuant to which the Company will subservice the loans sold in this transaction for an initial period of three years, subject to certain transfer and termination provisions, which includes 81,000 units as of June 30, 2017 as part of the secured borrowing arrangement.
