21
Advance SPEs and Transferred Receivables Assets thereunder). Holdings’ option to pay Seller an amount equal to the Fee Restructuring Payment in respect of any Group as described above is referred to herein as the “Fee Restructuring Payment Option”.

Seller’s option to purchase the Rights to MSRs and Transferred Receivables Assets in respect of any Group as described above is referred to herein as the “Purchase Option”. In order to exercise the Purchase Option for any Group, (i) Seller shall give written notice in respect thereof on before the Option #2 Exercise Deadline for such Group and (ii) Seller and Purchasers shall work in good faith to consummate such Purchase Option as soon as practicable (but, in any event, within fifteen (15) days (or, if Seller needs to obtain financing, thirty (30) days)) after the Purchasers’ receipt of such written notice from Seller.
9.3 If (x) Holdings has not exercised the Fee Restructuring Payment Option for any Group before the related Option #1 Exercise Deadline, and (y) Seller has not exercised the Purchase Option for any Group before the related Option #2 Exercise Deadline, the Purchasers and their affiliates may, at their option, in their sole and absolute discretion, market the related Servicing Rights for such Group (including the Rights to MSRs and any Transferred Receivables Assets) to any third parties. The following shall apply in the event of any such marketing:
(a) Purchasers shall deliver to Seller (i) all written term sheets, written offers submitted by third parties (including, in each case, those submitted in electronic form) and any non-disclosure agreements, in each case, in connection with such marketing promptly following its receipt thereof, and (ii) on a weekly basis, a written report (which may be delivered via email) generally describing the marketing process and any other written indications of interest that the Purchasers have received in connection with such marketing.
(b) Before the execution of the definitive documentation for any such sale in accordance with clause (f) below, so long as such winning bid is greater than or equal to the related Reservation Price, Seller will have the option to purchase the related Rights to MSRs in respect of such Group at the highest third party bid obtained minus the applicable Fee Restructuring Payment. If the winning bid is less than the related Reservation Price and the Purchasers desire, in their sole and absolute discretion, to proceed with the sale, Seller shall have the option to purchase the related Rights to MSRs in respect of such Group at the highest third party bid obtained. If Seller does purchase such Rights to MSRs for such Group, Seller will also be required to purchase the related Transferred Receivables Assets for a price equal to the outstanding balance thereof. Holdings shall select the winning bid for any particular potential sale.
22
(c) If the Servicing Rights (including the Rights to MSRs and any Transferred Receivables Assets) are instead sold to a third party, Holdings shall (i) pay Seller an amount equal to the Fee Restructuring Payment in respect of such MSRPA Servicing Agreement on the related closing date and (ii) use reasonable efforts to encourage such third party to engage Seller as a subservicer in respect of such MSRPA Servicing Agreement. The Purchasers are entitled to all proceeds of such sale so long as Holdings pays to Seller the Fee Restructuring Payments in respect of the applicable MSRPA Servicing Agreements as contemplated by the preceding sentence.
(d) Immediately before any such sale to any third party or to Seller pursuant to this Section 9.3(b), Purchasers and any applicable affiliates will transfer to Seller the related Rights to MSRs and the related Transferred Receivables Assets. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that any such transfer to Seller before a transfer to a third party is effectuated by Seller merely as an accommodation party in order to facilitate the transfer of such Rights to MSRs and related Transferred Receivables Assets to a third party in accordance with this Section 9.3, and as a result Seller will not acquire beneficial economic ownership of such Rights to MSRs or related Transferred Receivables Assets for tax purposes.
(e) In order to exercise the purchase option under Section 9.3(b), (i) Seller shall give written notice in respect thereof within three (3) Business Days after the date bids are provided to Seller, and (ii) Seller and Purchasers shall work in good faith to consummate such Purchase Option as soon as practicable (but, in any event, within fifteen (15) days (or, if Seller needs to obtain financing, thirty (30) days)) after the Purchasers’ receipt of such written notice from Seller.
(f) In the case of marketing and sale of Servicing Rights to a third party pursuant to this Section 9.3, Seller shall (and shall cause its applicable affiliates to) cooperate in connection with such marketing and sale. The definitive documentation for any such sale shall be in the form of a Third Party Purchase Agreement. Seller shall, promptly following Holdings’ request therefor, execute and deliver a Third Party Purchase Agreement in connection with such any sale to a third party. In addition, Seller shall use the same level of efforts to obtain any consents to effect any transfer of Servicing Rights to any third party as contemplated by this Section 9.3 as it is required to use pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 hereof in connection with any proposed transfers to NRM.
(g) Seller and Holdings will equally share in the out-of-pocket costs of marketing any Servicing Rights and transferring such Servicing Rights to any third party as contemplated by this Section 9.3 (including legal fees associated with negotiation of a Third Party Purchase Agreement with a third party buyer, Third Party Consent fees, and broker fees). Seller and Holdings shall consult with each other regarding the incurrence of any costs prior to incurring such costs.
9.4 If, after the Option #2 Exercise Deadline for any Group, the Purchasers and their affiliates market the related Servicing Rights for any Group as contemplated by Section 9.3 above and the Purchasers determine that such marketing is not satisfactory for any reason (or if the
23
Purchasers otherwise determine that such marketing will not be satisfactory), (i) Holdings may, on notice to Seller, exercise the Fee Restructuring Payment Option for such Group on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or such earlier time as designated by Holdings to Seller) after such determination (or (ii) if Holdings does not exercise the Fee Restructuring Payment Option on or before such second (2nd) Business Day (or such earlier time as designated by Holdings to Seller), Seller may, on notice to Holdings, exercise the Purchase Option for such Group at any time during the next six (6) Business Days. Seller and Purchasers shall work in good faith to consummate such Purchase Option as soon as practicable (but, in any event, within fifteen (15) days (or, if Seller needs to obtain financing, thirty (30) days)) after the Purchasers’ receipt of such written notice from Seller.

9.8 The Purchasers shall not have any obligation (i) to sell any Rights to MSRs or any Transferred Receivables Assets or (ii) permit the sale of the related Servicing Rights, as applicable, pursuant to Section 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 hereof unless and until the Purchasers and any applicable affiliates have received all necessary consents under any applicable SAF or mortgage servicing fee financing transaction. The Purchasers will use best efforts to obtain such necessary consents but shall not be required to refinance any indebtedness in connection with using such best efforts.
9.9 Upon any sale of Rights to MSRs or any Transferred Receivables Assets in accordance with this Section 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4, the related MSRPA Servicing Agreement shall cease to be a Deferred Servicing Agreement or otherwise subject to the MSR Purchase Agreement and Sale Supplements.

Group Selection Procedures
Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Seller and Holdings, each “Group” shall be determined as follows:
• | On each Designation Date, Holdings shall designate a “Group” which shall consist of all of the MSRPA Servicing Agreements for which the Consent Non-Delivery Determination Date occurred on or after the most recent Designation Date (or, in the case of the initial Designation Date, on or after the Effective Date) and prior to such Designation Date. |
• | On the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date, Holdings shall designate additional Groups in accordance with the following procedures: |
o | The number of Groups designated on such date will be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next whole number) of (i) the Grouping UPB (as defined below) divided by (ii) $15.0 billion. For example, if the Grouping UPB is $33.0 billion, there will be three (3) Groups. |
§ | If the number of Groups is two (2) or greater, the Fee Restructuring Payments allocable to such Groups shall be determined as set forth below. |
o | Holdings will then determine the MSRPA Servicing Agreements allocated to each Group based on the related Delinquency Rates (as defined below) for such MSRPA Servicing Agreements such that: |
§ | the amount of the Grouping UPB allocated to any particular Group is substantially the same (it being understood that each such allocated amount of the Grouping UPB may vary by Groups by up to 10%); and |
§ | the MSRPA Servicing Agreements allocated to any particular Group are allocated based on the related Delinquency Rates of such MSRPA Servicing Agreement. By way of example, if there are three Groups, (i) the MSRPA Servicing Agreements (by Grouping UPB) with the lowest Delinquency Rates will be allocated to one Group, (ii) the MSRPA Servicing Agreements (by Grouping UPB) with the middle Delinquency Rates will be allocated to one Group and (iii) the MSRPA Servicing Agreements (by Grouping UPB) with the highest Delinquency Rates will be allocate to one Group. |
For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Delinquency Rate” means, for any MSRPA Servicing Agreement, the percentage (based on interest bearing principal balances) of Primary Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent as of June 30, 2018.
“Delinquent” means for any Mortgage Loan, any monthly payment due thereon is not made by the close of business on the day such monthly payment is required to be paid and remains unpaid for more than 30 days.
“Grouping UPB” means, for all MSRPA Servicing Agreements in respect of which the Consent Non-Delivery Determination Date occurs on the one-year anniversary of this Agreement or otherwise on or after the Designation Date occurring in April 2018, the aggregate unpaid interest bearing principal balance of the Primary Mortgage Loans under such MSRPA Servicing Agreements as of the close of business on June 30, 2018.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Seller and Holdings, if two (2) or more Groups are designated on the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date pursuant to the second bullet point in these Group Selection Procedures, the Fee Restructuring Payments for each such Group shall be determined as follows:
1. | Step 1: Holdings shall engage two Approved Third Party Appraisers to determine the Average Third Party Marks for each such Group. |
2. | Step 2: Holding shall determine the Allocation Percentage for each such Group. The “Allocation Percentage” for each such Group shall mean the quotient of (i) the Average Third Party Mark for such Group divided by (ii) the aggregate of all Average Third Party Marks for all such Groups. The sum of the Allocation Percentages for all such Groups shall equal 100%. |
3. | Step 3: Holdings shall then: |
a. | determine the aggregate Lump-Sum Payments that Holdings would pay Seller if the Transfer Dates for all MSRPA Servicing Agreements in such Groups occurred on the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date. Such amount is the “Gross Amount”; and |
b. | determine the Fee Restructuring Payment for each such Group, which shall equal the product of (i) the Gross Amount and (ii) the Allocation Percentage for such Group. |

(a) As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under the Agreement or this Sale Supplement not involving a Third‑Party Claim, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after first becoming aware of such claim, the Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Indemnifying Person of such claim, which notice shall specify the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim and the amount that the Indemnified Person seeks hereunder from the Indemnifying Person; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Section 8.3 except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby.
(b) The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice thereof, to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding, by any unaffiliated third Person (a “Third‑Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under the Agreement or this Sale Supplement (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such claim); provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Section 8.3 except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Person may, at its own expense, (i) participate in the defense of any such Third‑Party Claim, and (ii) upon notice to the Indemnified Person, at any time during the course of any such Third‑Party Claim, assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choice and, in the event of such assumption, shall have the exclusive right, subject to clause (i) in the proviso in Section 8.3(c), to settle or compromise such Third‑Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the
27
counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such Third‑Party Claim, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

(d) Except as specifically provided for in the Agreement or this Sale Supplement, no claim may be made by an Indemnified Person for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages (“Special Damages”) in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct (whether the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law) in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated, or relationship established, by this Agreement or any Sale Supplement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller and each Purchaser hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for Special Damages, whether or not accrued or whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

equal to the product of (i) the Purchase Price for such Deferred Servicing Agreement and (ii) the Amortization Percentage for the calendar month in which Seller received notice of such termination, and the Purchasers shall accept such sum as liquidated damages, and not as penalty, in the event of such a termination.
Section 8.7 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or this Sale Supplement, (i) it is understood and agreed that the remedy of indemnity payments pursuant to this Article 8 and other remedies at law would be inadequate in the case of any actual or threatened breach of the Agreement or this Sale Supplement by Seller and (ii) the Purchasers shall be entitled, without limiting its other remedies and without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond, to equitable relief, including the remedy of specific performance or injunction, with respect to any breach or threatened breach of such covenants. Such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other remedies available at law or in equity to such party under the Agreement and this Sale Supplement.

EXHIBIT 8
New RMSR Agreement Documentation Principles
The New RMSR Agreement will provide that the Seller and the Purchasers will have similar interests and economics in the related Servicing Rights and Rights to MSRs for the MSRPA Servicing Agreement subject to the New RMSR Agreement that NRM and the Purchasers would have under the NRM Subservicing Agreement (including any related portfolio defense or MSR recapture arrangements) if the related Transfer Date for such MSRPA Servicing Agreement occurred except as otherwise set forth in this Exhibit 8.
The New RMSR Agreement will be based, to the extent possible, unless explicitly prohibited by Applicable Requirements (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement) or any other contractual requirements in effect as of the Effective Date, including any MSRPA Servicing Agreement, upon the NRM Subservicing Agreement, consistent with any changes contemplated by the items described below and such other changes mutually agreed in writing by Holdings and Seller:
1. | Seller, not NRM, will be the named servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, under the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements subject to the New RMSR Agreement. Seller shall service the related Mortgage Loans in respect of the MSRPA Servicing Agreements in a manner substantially similar to the NRM Subservicing Agreement but for the benefit of the Purchasers because of the Purchasers’ interests in the related Rights to MSRs and other interests under the RMSR Servicing Agreement. Subject to Applicable Requirements (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement), the Purchasers shall have substantively the same rights and interests (including any and all applicable representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities) in connection with the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans under the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements subject to the New RMSR Agreement that NRM has under the NRM Subservicing Agreement, as long as Seller is servicing the loans, including, but not limited to, rights to receive reports and data from Seller, vendor oversight of Seller's vendors, rights related to REO downstream services, and audit rights of Seller. Seller shall not be required to take an action with respect to a Change Request (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement) which, in Seller’s reasonable opinion, may violate Applicable Requirements (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement) as detailed in an Initial Response Notice (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement). |
2. | Holdings will pay Seller the same fees and other compensation under the New RMSR Agreement for any applicable MSRPA Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans that NRM would have otherwise paid Seller under the NRM Subservicing Agreement for such MSRPA Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans had the related Transfer Date had occurred. The Purchasers will be entitled to all other economic interests under the related Servicing Rights (either under the New RMSR Agreement or because of their ownership of the Rights to MSRs under the MSR Purchase Agreement and the Sale Supplements) in the same |
manner that NRM would have under the NRM Subservicing Agreement had the related Transfer Date occurred. Seller will, subject to Applicable Requirements and any other contractual requirements as in effect as of the Effective Date, refer to a Purchaser or a Purchaser’s designee all services giving rise to Downstream Ancillary Income (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement) in respect of the relevant MSRPA Servicing Agreements. Seller will not receive any fees or other compensation for such referrals.
3. | Seller will sell (and Holdings will purchase) all related Servicing Advance Receivables in a manner consistent with Article 3 of the Sale Supplements. |
4. | The Purchasers shall not be required to pay any consideration to Seller in connection with any assignment of any Clean Up Call Rights to Purchaser (or any Purchaser’s designee), but the Purchasers (or any applicable designee) will be required to comply with provisions related to “Securitization Transactions” substantially identical to those contemplated by the NRM Subservicing Agreement. |
5. | Seller will grant to each of the Purchasers a security interest in Collateral in scope consistent with Article 9 of the Sale Supplements to secure Seller’s obligations under the New RMSR Agreement. |
6. | Upon either Purchaser’s written direction, Seller and Purchasers shall use best efforts to transfer any Servicing Rights subject to the New RMSR Agreement to NRM. Any such transfer will be subject to obtaining any requisite third-party consents. Upon any such transfer, the related Servicing Rights will be subject to the NRM Subservicing Agreement. To the extent any costs of such transfers are incurred on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the related MSRPA Servicing Agreement becoming subject to the New RMSR Agreement, such will be allocated in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. To the extent any particular cost arises after the one year anniversary of the related MSRPA Servicing Agreement becoming subject to the New RMSR Agreement, (i) such cost shall be paid by the Purchasers if the NRM Subservicing Agreement has been terminated when such cost is incurred, and (ii) such cost will be allocated in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement if the NRM Subservicing Agreement has not terminated when such cost is incurred. In the event the parties are unable to transfer any Servicing Rights, the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements will remain subject to the New RMSR Agreement until the Servicing Rights can be transferred. |
7. | If NRM terminates the NRM Subservicing Agreement without cause, Seller and Purchasers shall use best efforts to transfer any Servicing Rights subject to the New RMSR Agreement to a party selected by Holdings as promptly as practical. Any such transfer will be subject to obtaining any requisite third-party consents and the cooperation of the Purchasers. Purchasers will be entitled to keep all of the proceeds of any such transfer. In such a case of transfer without cause, Seller will be entitled to compensation consistent with the compensation for a termination without cause contemplated by the NRM Subservicing Agreement, including, without limitation, |
with respect to process and timing. The Purchasers will pay the costs of any such transfer. In the event the parties are unable to transfer any Servicing Rights, the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements will remain subject to the New RMSR Agreement until the Servicing Rights can be transferred.
8. | If NRM terminates the NRM Subservicing Agreement for cause, Seller and Purchasers shall use best efforts to transfer any Servicing Rights subject to the New RMSR Agreement to a party selected by Holdings as promptly as practicable. Any such transfer will be subject to obtaining any requisite third-party consents and the cooperation of the Purchasers. Purchasers will be entitled to keep all of the proceeds of any such transfer. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any such transfer shall be subject to terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth in Section 5.4 of the NRM Subservicing Agreement, including without limitation, with respect to processes and timing, except that the costs of any such transfer will be paid by Seller to the extent such costs are incurred on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the related MSRPA Servicing Agreement becoming subject to the New RMSR Agreement, and any costs arising thereafter shall be paid by the Purchasers. In the event the parties are unable to transfer any Servicing Rights, the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements will remain subject to the New RMSR Agreement until the Servicing Rights can be transferred. |
9. | The “Step-Up Fee” contemplated by Section 5.4(d) of the NRM Subservicing Agreement will not apply in respect of the New RMSR Agreement. |
10. | Subject to the penultimate sentence of this documentation principle, in the event that a Purchaser directs Seller to engage a third party to act as subservicer and to perform any primary servicing obligations in respect of the MSRPA Servicing Agreements, (A) such third party shall be reasonably acceptable to Seller and shall be licensed and qualified as a subservicer under such MSRPA Servicing Agreements, and (B) Seller shall be entitled to (i) indemnification from Purchasers in respect of acts or omissions of any such subservicer in connection with the subservicing of the related mortgage loans (which indemnification shall be no less favorable to Seller than the indemnification in favor of NRM in the NRM Subservicing Agreement), and (ii) substantially the same reporting and information access in respect of the related mortgage loans from any such subservicer as Seller is required to deliver NRM under the NRM Subservicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Purchaser shall have the right to direct Seller to engage a third party to act as subservicer or to perform any primary servicing obligations in respect of any MSRPA Servicing Agreement unless any Purchaser or Seller has reasonably demonstrated that the Servicing Rights in respect of such MSRPA Servicing Agreement cannot be otherwise transferred in accordance with the terms of such MSRPA Servicing Agreements. The terms and conditions of any subservicing agreement by and among Seller and such third-party subservicer relating to reporting, oversight and indemnification shall be no less favorable to Seller than the terms and conditions of the NRM Subservicing Agreement. |
11. | The initial term of the New RMSR Agreement will be the same as the initial term of the NRM Subservicing Agreement. Upon either Purchaser’s direction therefor following the expiration of the New RMSR Agreement, Seller and Purchasers shall use best efforts to transfer any Servicing Rights subject to the New RMSR Agreement to a party selected by Holdings. Any such transfer will be subject to obtaining any requisite third-party consents and the cooperation of the Purchasers. Purchasers will be entitled to keep all of the proceeds of any such transfer. To the extent any particular cost arises in connection with any such transfer, (i) such cost shall be paid by the Purchasers if the NRM Subservicing Agreement has been terminated or has otherwise expired when such cost is incurred, and (ii) such cost will be allocated in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement if the NRM Subservicing Agreement has not terminated when such cost is incurred. In the event that the term of the New RMSR Agreement expires and the parties are unable to transfer any Servicing Rights, the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements will remain subject to the New RMSR Agreement, on the same economic terms as immediately before the expiration, until the Servicing Rights can be transferred. |
