If such work will involve third party costs or expenses, the Subservicer shall follow Owner/Servicer’s reasonable instructions regarding the retention of such third party providers, including the terms of such retention, related requests for proposals, seeking fixed prices or caps or similar arrangements and establishing time commitments from such third parties. Any such estimate shall also include the anticipated time frame for implementation of such work. Such estimate shall also include the ongoing incremental expense of performing the work in a modified manner as described in the Change Request. If the Owner/Servicer consents to the Subservicer performing such work on its behalf, the parties will enter into a mutually acceptable agreement for implementation of such work (such agreement, a “Statement of Work”), which shall be performed by the Subservicer on a commercially-reasonable, best-efforts basis.

If the actual internally allocated costs and expenses are greater than the estimated amount, (i) the Owner/Servicer shall not be liable for any amounts in excess of such invoiced amount and (ii) the Subservicer shall perform all such contemplated work within the agreed upon timeframe. Subject to Owner/Servicer’s approval of the terms of retention of the applicable third parties in accordance with this Section 2.3(d), if the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses are greater than the estimated amount, the Owner/Servicer shall reimburse the Subservicer for all such amounts.

Owner/Servicer agrees that to the extent any NRZ O/S Entity and Subservicer are contemplating or implementing a similar Change Request under any NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement or the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement, Owner/Servicer shall coordinate with such NRZ O/S Entity on a single set of estimates, instructions, reporting, processes and Statements of Work. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties understand and agree that a Statement of Work shall not be required to implement (i) the services already enumerated or contemplated under this Agreement (other than the services contemplated by this Section 2.3 or any other services or activities in this Agreement that are expressly subject to the Statement of Work process set forth in this Section 2.3) or (ii) other services or projects previously commenced by the Subservicer on behalf of the Owner/Servicer.”

“(b) From time to time, the Subservicer may engage other Vendors in addition to those appearing on Exhibit I-1 to provide services to the Subservicer that are related to the Mortgage Loans. The Subservicer shall not engage any Vendors or Default Firms to provide services with respect to any Mortgage Loan if such Vendor or Default Firm is on any of the (i) Xxxxxxx Mac Exclusionary List, (ii) Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List published by OFAC, (iii) Suspended Counterparty Program list published by FHFA, or (iv) Subservicer’s internal exclusionary list, and shall promptly (x) notify Owner/Servicer if any such Vendor or Default Firm becomes subject to any such exclusionary list, and (y) replace any such Vendor or Default Firm. In the event any such additional Critical Vendor is identified by the Owner/Servicer as having been deficient in the reasonable judgment of the Owner/Servicer, the Owner/Servicer shall notify the Subservicer with its concerns of such Critical Vendor. The Subservicer shall notify the Owner/Servicer of additional Critical Vendors at the timing set forth in Exhibit E-1. The Subservicer shall promptly respond to the Owner/Servicer and the parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the Owner/Servicer’s concerns and/or findings relating to Critical Vendors, including but not limited to determining if such deficiencies can be corrected or to replace Critical Vendors, as applicable, with another Vendor or Default Firm, as applicable, mutually acceptable to the parties and in accordance with Applicable Requirements. In addition, the Subservicer shall promptly notify the Owner/Servicer of any material deficiencies with respect to any Vendor and/or Default Firm used by the Subservicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan. To the extent that the same Vendor or Default Firm is being utilized under any NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement or the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement, Owner/Servicer will coordinate with the related NRZ O/S Entity regarding all inquiries, notices and determinations with respect to such Vendor or Default Firm.

Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, the Subservicer shall (i) provide a report to the Owner/Servicer identifying any Default Firm which received an "objection" or other similar classification from any Agency to the extent the Subservicer submitted such Default Firm to an Agency for servicing Agency loans in the Subservicer's servicing portfolio, it being understood that to the extent such report have been made available to any NRZ O/S Entity pursuant to Section 2.4(d) of the any NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement or the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement, such reports shall be deemed to have been made available hereunder and (ii) shall cooperate with Owner/Servicer to evaluate what steps, if any, should be taken as a result of such objection.”
“(f) The Subservicer shall oversee all Vendors, Off-shore Vendors and Default Firms in accordance with the Vendor Oversight Guidance and its third-party management policy, and require that all Vendors, Off-shore Vendors and Default Firms on the Vendor List maintain and provide policies and procedures applicable
15
to the services provided in a manner consistent with all Applicable Requirements, the Vendor Oversight Guidance and the servicing standards under this Agreement. Solely as it relates to a violation or non-compliance with Applicable Requirements by a Vendor that materially and adversely affects any Mortgage Loan or the related Servicing Rights, within twenty-one (21) Business Days of confirmation of the violation or non-compliance with Applicable Requirements, (i) the Subservicer shall provide to the Owner/Servicer notice of such violations or such non-compliance with Applicable Requirements of which the Subservicer has knowledge by any Vendor, Off-shore Vendor and/or Default Firm under the Vendor Oversight Guidance, the Subservicer’s third-party management policy and/or Applicable Requirements, (ii) the Subservicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner/Servicer to remedy such non-compliance and to maintain regular communication with the Owner/Servicer regarding the progress of any remediation efforts, (iii) the Subservicer shall provide to the Owner/Servicer a summary and action-plan by the Subservicer detailing how such violation(s) or non-compliance will be remediated, (iv) to the extent permitted under the applicable Vendor contract or consented to by such Vendor, the Owner/Servicer may directly participate in cooperation with the Subservicer in any of the material activities described in this paragraph, and (v) the Subservicer shall provide to the Owner/Servicer, if applicable, a request in writing for an extension of the twenty-one (21) Business Day period.

(g) The Subservicer shall conduct periodic reviews of the Vendors, Off-shore Vendors and Default Firms that the Subservicer engages to perform under this Agreement in accordance with its third-party management policy and Vendor Oversight Guidance to confirm compliance, timeliness and completeness with respect to the terms of this Agreement and Applicable Requirements and that the Vendors, Off-shore Vendors and Default Firms are not subject to litigation or other enforcement actions that could have a material effect on such Vendor’s, Off-shore Vendor’s and/or Default Firm’s financial viability or reputation. At the timing set
16
forth in Exhibit E-1, the Subservicer shall provide to the Owner/Servicer the results of all periodic reviews concluded by or on behalf of the Subservicer during the prior three (3) month period for any Critical Vendor in a manner consistent with Exhibit Q, which shall be in the form of performance scorecards, risk rating and risk-tier assignment system, in each case, in a format reasonably acceptable to the Owner/Servicer. During each such quarterly update, the Subservicer shall notify the Owner/Servicer of any changes to the Subservicer’s scorecard, risk-rating, or risk-tiering methodology, to the extent such information is available or obtainable for each Vendor, Off-shore Vendor and Default Firm. To the extent that Subservicer provides such quarterly reviews or notices to any NRZ O/S Entity pursuant to Section 2.4(g) of any NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement or the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement, such reviews and notices shall be deemed to have been delivered hereunder.”
“(j) Subject to Section 10.17, if reasonably necessary for the Owner/Servicer to comply with the requirements of any Governmental Authority that exercises authority over the Owner/Servicer, the Subservicer shall, at the request of the Owner/Servicer, make available to the Owner/Servicer copies of any contracts electronically through an electronic portal, ftp site, or otherwise, by or with any Vendors, Off-shore Vendors and/or Default Firms on the Vendor List and any reports, audits, evaluations, reviews or assessments with respect to such contractors, it being understood that to the extent such contracts have been made available to any NRZ O/S Entity pursuant to Section 2.4(j) of any NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement or the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement, such contracts shall be deemed to have been made available hereunder. Subject to Section 10.17, in the event the Subservicer is not able to make available copies contracts, reports, evaluations, reviews or assessments with respect to any Vendors, Off-shore Vendors or Default Firms that are required to be made available to the Owner/Servicer under this Section 2.4 or are otherwise reasonably requested by the Owner/Servicer in order for it to comply with Applicable Requirements because such materials are subject to confidentiality or other non-disclosure restrictions that would prevent disclosing such materials, (i) the Subservicer shall make reasonable efforts to obtain consent to disclosure from the related Vendors, Off-shore Vendors or Default Firms, with the understanding that pricing or other confidential business terms may be redacted and (ii) the Subservicer shall provide the Owner/Servicer with such relevant information or summaries with respect to the related matter that would not be prohibited.”

18
commenced by a Governmental Authority is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Servicing Rights, it being understood that to the extent such a notice is delivered to an NRZ O/S Entity pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of an NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement or the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement, such notice shall be deemed to have been delivered hereunder.

In the event the Subservicer is prohibited under applicable rules of privilege and confidentiality based upon the express advice of counsel from providing specific information or documentation under this Section 2.6, the Subservicer shall provide (and to the extent prohibited, the Subservicer shall provide to the maximum extent possible the information that is not prohibited from being disclosed) the Owner/Servicer with such relevant information or summaries with respect to the related matter that would not be prohibited under such rules, it being understood that to the extent Subservicer has provided such information to any NRZ O/S Entity pursuant to any NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement or the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement, such information shall be deemed to have been provided hereunder.

The Subservicer shall provide the Owner/Servicer any and all supporting documentation reasonably necessary to review the Internal Cost Variance asserted by Subservicer (supporting documentation may include invoices, reports and any other documentation or evidence which reasonably substantiates the alleged Internal Cost Variance) and the Owner/Servicer must reasonably agree with such Internal Cost Variance prior to the Owner/Servicer reimbursing the applicable incremental costs and incremental expenses as set forth above. The Owner/Servicer shall be reasonable with respect to any requests to change any Approved Party or Critical REO Disposition Vendor. In connection with the foregoing, the parties hereby agree that it would not be “reasonable” [***]. Any Approved Party shall be onboarded in accordance with and subject to the provisions in Section 2.3(f) of this Agreement.”

(ba)The Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Section 5.7 immediately following Section 5.6:
“Section 5.7. Recognition of Rights of Investor to Terminate or Assume Agreement.
(a) Subject to Section 5.7(b), the parties hereto acknowledge that, in the event the Owner/Servicer is terminated as servicer (or in similar capacity) under a Servicing Agreement by the related Investor (or, if expressly provided in such Servicing
41
Agreement, the Owner/Servicer is no longer the servicer thereunder for any reason (including termination due to an event of default of the Owner/Servicer)), then one or more of the following rights may be exercised: (i) if such right is required by the express provisions of such Servicing Agreement to be included in this Agreement, the Owner/Servicer shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the related Mortgage Loans subject to the related Servicing Agreement for which the Owner/Servicer was terminated as servicer (or in similar capacity) in accordance with the terms of the related Servicing Agreement, (ii) if such right is required by the express provisions of the Servicing Agreement to be included in this Agreement, the related Investor or its designee or any successor servicer appointed by such Investor shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement (subject to the receipt of such consents, if any, as may be required by such Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with the terms of such Servicing Agreement) solely with respect to the related Mortgage Loans subject to the related Servicing Agreement for which was terminated as servicer (or in similar capacity), or (iii) if such right is required by the express provisions of such Servicing Agreement to be included in this Agreement, the related Investor or its designee or any successor servicer appointed by such Investor shall have the right to assume (or may be deemed to have assumed without act or deed on the part such Investor or its designee or any successor servicer) all of the rights and obligations of the Owner/Servicer under this Agreement solely with respect to the related Mortgage Loans subject to the related Servicing Agreement for which the Owner/Servicer was terminated as servicer (or in similar capacity) in accordance with the terms of the related Servicing Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Investor terminates both the Owner/Servicer and the Subservicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, such termination would be treated as:
(i) a termination for cause for purposes of this Agreement solely with respect to the related Mortgage Loans subject to the related Servicing Agreement for which the Owner/Servicer was terminated as servicer (or in similar capacity) if the Investor’s action is related to an act or omission of the Subservicer or the Corporate Parent, or the processes, practices and/or procedures of the Subservicer or the Corporate Parent (unless such act, omission or breach is related to Subservicer’s compliance with the Owner/Servicer’s written direction in accordance with Section 2.3) or in connection with a Subservicer Termination Event; provided, further, that this provision shall not protect the Subservicer from any liability for any breach of its covenants made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or from any liability which would otherwise be imposed on the Subservicer or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees by reason of the Subservicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud, or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its negligent disregard of its obligations or duties hereunder), or
(ii) a termination without cause solely with respect to the related Mortgage Loans subject to the related Servicing Agreement for which the Owner/Servicer was terminated
42
if the Investor’s action is (1) unrelated to (x) an act or omission of the Subservicer or the Corporate Parent, respectively, or (y) a Subservicer Termination Event, or (2) related to Subservicer’s compliance with the Owner/Servicer’s written direction in accordance with Section 2.3.
(c) If an Investor assumes (or is deemed to have assumed) the obligations of the Owner/Servicer in accordance with the express provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, then the Subservicer shall have the right, upon not less than 90 days’ prior written notice to the related Investor, to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the related Mortgage Loans subject to the related Servicing Agreement for which the Owner/Servicer was terminated as servicer (or in similar capacity). In addition to any rights and remedies under the applicable Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, in the event such Investor terminates the Subservicer following such assumption of this Agreement by such Investor and such termination by the Investor is unrelated to an act or omission of the Subservicer or the Corporate Parent, respectively, unrelated to a Subservicer Termination Event or related to Subservicer’s compliance with the Owner/Servicer’s written direction in accordance with Section 2.3, and solely if the Effective Date of Termination occurs during the Initial Term, Investor (including without limitation, any trustee master servicer, back-up servicer, successor servicer, trust administrator, insurer or similar transaction party or any related securityholder) assuming the obligations of the Owner/Servicer shall reimburse the Subservicer in accordance with such termination without cause provisions. To the extent the Investor is obligated to pay the applicable Termination Fee as set forth in this Section 5.7(c), the Investor shall remit to the Subservicer one-hundred percent (100%) of the applicable Termination Fee (Investor) Deposit Amount (as defined and calculated in accordance with Exhibit C-2) on the related Effective Date of Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions relating to the Escrow Agent in Section 5.04 shall be inapplicable to the extent the related Investor is obligated to pay the Subservicer the applicable Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 5.7(c).
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the termination of this Agreement as to the related Mortgage Loans (subject to the related Servicing Agreement for which the Owner/Servicer was terminated as servicer (or in similar capacity)) by the Subservicer in accordance with Section 5.7(c) above shall not be effective until a successor subservicer has been appointed by the related Investor and has assumed the duties of the Subservicer hereunder solely with respect to the related Mortgage Loans subject to the related Servicing Agreement which was terminated, and the Subservicer shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loans until such time. If a successor subservicer has not assumed the duties of the Subservicer within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Subservicer’s notice of termination pursuant to Section 5.7(c), the Subservicer may, at the expense of the related Investor, petition a court with appropriate jurisdiction to appoint a successor subservicer.
43
(e) Unless expressly required pursuant to the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans for which the Owner/Servicer is terminated as servicer (or in similar capacity) under a Servicing Agreement by the related Investor (or, if expressly provided in such Servicing Agreement, the Owner/Servicer is no longer the servicer thereunder for any reason (including termination due to an event of default of the Owner/Servicer), in the event that the related trustee or successor servicer assumes or (is deemed to have assumed) the rights and/or obligations of the Owner/Servicer in accordance with the express provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, New Penn Financial, LLC d/b/a Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing shall not have any obligations as Owner/Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans following the date of such assumption and shall not be liable to the Subservicer for any losses, liabilities, acts or omissions of Investor as Owner/Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans following the date of such assumption.”

(e) the matters set forth on Schedule 4.12.15 to the Transfer Agreement; provided that such Loss is incurred and/or is payable prior to the earliest of (i) the date New Residential Mortgage LLC is terminated as Owner/Servicer and (ii) the later of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and (y) the two year anniversary of the termination of the Subservicer under this Agreement;”

The indemnifying party shall follow any reasonable written instructions received from the indemnified party in connection with such claim. The provisions of Sections 8.2 or 8.3 shall survive for five (5) years following termination of this Agreement. The Subservicer shall provide the Mortgagor Litigation Reports set forth in the related Formatted Servicing Report regarding legal action(s) by individual Mortgagor(s) relating to the Mortgage Loans and against the Subservicer or the Owner/Servicer, it being understood that the Subservicer may combine such reports with the reports required to be delivered under Section 8.4 of any NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement or the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement and delivery thereunder shall be deemed to constitute delivery hereunder. With respect to any third party claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party agrees to reasonably cooperate and cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate in good faith with the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of any such claim. The indemnifying party shall pay the indemnified party any non-disputed Losses within thirty (30) days of the indemnifying party’s receipt of an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting documentation.”

Investor Transferred Percentage: A fraction which equals (A) the Deal-Level UPB of Mortgage Loans being subserviced under this Agreement that with respect to which the subservicing or servicing is being terminated solely pursuant to Section 5.7(c) divided by (B) the sum of (i) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB with respect to all Mortgage Loans being subserviced under this Agreement, (ii) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB with respect to all Mortgage Loans being serviced under RMSR 2.0, (iii) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB with respect to all Primary Mortgage Loans being serviced under MSRPA Servicing Agreements, (iv) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB in respect of any Primary Mortgage Loans serviced under MSRPA Servicing Agreements the interests in which have been transferred to Ocwen pursuant to Section 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 of the Master Agreement and (v) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB in respect of any Primary Mortgage Loans serviced under MSRPA Servicing Agreements the interests in which have been transferred to a third party pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Master Agreement (calculated at the time of sale of such interests to third parties and amortized at 15%/year until the month-end following Subservicer’s receipt of notification of termination without cause).
MSRPA Servicing Agreements: As defined in the Master Agreement.
Primary Mortgage Loans: As defined in the Master Agreement.
RMSR 2.0: The New RMSR Agreement (as defined in the Master Agreement).
Transferred Percentage: A fraction which equals (A) the Deal-Level UPB of Mortgage Loans being subserviced under this Agreement and serviced under RMSR 2.0 that with respect to which the subservicing or servicing is being terminated for any reason under this Agreement (other than Section 5.3 and Section 5.7) divided by (B) the sum of (i) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB with respect to all Mortgage Loans being subserviced under this Agreement, (ii) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB with respect to all Mortgage Loans being serviced under RMSR 2.0, (iii) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB with respect to all Primary Mortgage Loans being serviced under MSRPA Servicing Agreements, (iv) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB in respect of any Primary Mortgage Loans serviced under MSRPA Servicing Agreements the interests in which have been transferred to Ocwen pursuant to Section 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 of the Master Agreement and (v) the aggregate Deal-Level UPB in respect of any Primary Mortgage Loans serviced under MSRPA Servicing Agreements the interests in which have been transferred to a third party pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Master Agreement (calculated at the
time of sale of such interests to third parties and amortized at 15%/year until the month-end following Subservicer’s receipt of notification of termination without cause).
Termination Fee Deposit Amount: Except with respect to a termination of Subservicer by an Investor pursuant to Section 5.7(c), with respect to the termination of Subservicer under this Agreement or RMSR 2.0 transferred pursuant to a termination without cause or an RMSR 2.0 transfer to a third party during the Initial Term is calculated for each date on which subservicing or RMSR 2.0 is transferred by multiplying the Transferred Percentage by the Termination Fee associated as of the actual transfer date from Exhibit C-1.
Termination Fee (Investor) Deposit Amount: Solely with respect to a termination without cause of Subservicer by an Investor pursuant to Section 5.7(c) prior to the expiration of the Initial Term is calculated for each date on which subservicing is transferred by multiplying the Investor Transferred Percentage by the Termination Fee associated as of the actual transfer date from Exhibit C-1.

EXHIBIT G
THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
[***]
EXHIBIT J
PERFORMANCE TRIGGERS
A. Initial Performance Triggers
The following shall represent the applicable Performance Triggers, as may be modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, and to be assessed on the basis of data collected from the first full Quarter following the Effective Date:
1. | the Quarterly Average Delinquency Ratio exceeds [***] (the “Delinquency Trigger Event”); |
2. | the Quarterly Average Foreclosure Sale Ratio falls below [***] (the “Foreclosure Sale Trigger”) for two consecutive Quarters (the “Foreclosure Sale Trigger Event”); |
3. | the Quarterly Average Workout Ratio falls below [***] (the “Workout Trigger”) for two consecutive Quarters (the “Workout Trigger Event”); and |
4. | the Net SLA Monthly Penalty Amount exceeds [***] of the Monthly Fee Amount for such month (the “Excessive SLA Failure Trigger”) in every month for two consecutive Quarters (the “Excessive SLA Failure Trigger Event”). |
Subject to the automatic modification of the Workout Trigger as set for in Section D below, any modifications to Performance Triggers shall be evidenced in writing and shall take effect in the Quarter during which such modifications were agreed to, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. In addition to the specific provisions set forth in Sections B, C and D of this Exhibit J relating to the conditions under which a Performance Trigger may be modified, the Owner/Servicer and Subservicer agree to modify any of the above Performance Triggers from time to time in cases where there have been or will be material changes to the portfolio of Subject Loans constituting the reference class of the applicable Performance Trigger. Upon the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event, that has a material impact on the Subservicer’s ability to service the Subject Loans pursuant to the Agreement, the parties will agree to waive any of the Performance Triggers to the extent affected.
B. Delinquency Trigger Resets
The Subservicer and Owner/Servicer shall mutually agree to a modification of the Delinquency Trigger under each of the following circumstances: (i) (x) in the event that the delinquency rate set forth in the “Seriously Delinquent As a % of Total Loans NSA” quarterly index from Mortgage Bankers Association (FORLTOSD Index on Bloomberg) (the “Index”) increases by more than three percentage points from the rate set forth in such report for the month ending June 2017 and (y) thereafter, in the event of any subsequent material increase in such rate or (ii) to the extent that the Index does not capture the impact of industry-wide events which would materially impact delinquency rates (for example, industry-wide foreclosure holds imposed by states regulators).
C. Foreclosure Sale Trigger Resets
The Subservicer and Owner/Servicer shall mutually agree on a modification to the Foreclosure Sale Trigger in the event that one or more judicial rulings or state regulatory actions, decrees, interpretations or guidance occurs that impact more than [***] ([***]) of the total number of Subject Loans counted in the Subservicer’s active foreclosure inventory on the date of such occurrence.
D. Workout Trigger Resets
(a) The Workout Trigger shall be modified, effective as of January 1, 2019, to an amount equal to [***] of the average monthly Workout Ratio for the calendar year of 2018 and, for each subsequent calendar year, effective as of January 1st of such year, the Workout Trigger shall be modified to an amount equal to [***] of the average monthly Workout Ratio of the prior calendar year; provided that, to the extent the Quarterly Average Workout Ratio falls below the Workout Trigger for the Quarter beginning in October and the Quarterly Average Workout Ratio is above the Workout Trigger for the following Quarter beginning in January solely as a result of the automatic modification of the Workout Trigger as set forth in this sentence, then the Workout Trigger for the Quarter beginning in January shall not be included for purposes of calculating the Workout Trigger Event and the parties agree to use the Workout Trigger for the Quarters beginning in October and April to determine if a Workout Trigger Event occurred. The parties agree that the Workout Trigger may be recalibrated after January 1, 2019 based on quarterly rather than annual averages in order to reflect seasonal fluctuations.
(b) The Subservicer and Owner/Servicer shall mutually agree on a modification to the existing (or automatically modified pursuant to clause (a) above) Workout Trigger under each of the following circumstances: (i) any regulatory changes that result in substantially lower modification rates on an industry-wide basis, (ii) the previously modified proportion of the portfolio of Subject Loans that are 60+ Day Delinquent increases to more than [***] ([***]), and thereafter, for each subsequent increase of [***] (iii) a decrease in modification eligibility of the Subject Loans due to substantial macroeconomic changes, including but not limited to, material changes in (x) home prices, (y) interest rates and/or (z) unemployment rates, and (iv) conditions materially affecting modification rates, including, for example, the availability and funding of governmental modification programs.
The Subservicer and Owner/Servicer shall mutually agree on a modification or reconstruction of the Workout Trigger to compare the Subservicer’s loss mitigation performance against the performance of the mortgage servicing industry (in which the Subservicer would be expected to be within a range of average industry levels) to the extent a reliable industry benchmarking loss mitigation data has been introduced and is generally acceptable to the secondary mortgage market.
E. Excessive SLA Failure Trigger Waivers and Applicability
The SLAs used to calculate the Aggregate Net SLA Monthly Penalty Rate shall include all SLAs other than (i) any SLA identified as inapplicable to the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger on Exhibit F of the Agreement, as updated from time to time by mutual agreement of the parties and (ii) any SLAs that the Owner/Servicer and Subservicer have agreed to waive or exclude on the basis of major events beyond the Subservicer’s control which materially and adversely affect the servicing of the Subject Loans under the Agreement, including, without limitation, conflicts or issues with Approved Parties, any “Approved Parties” (as defined herein), Vendors selected by the Owner/
Servicer, HLSS or Shellpoint, any NRZ REO Vendor (under and as defined in the Servicing Addendum) or any subcontractors or subvendors retained by any such NRZ REO Vendor, regulatory changes, Force Majeure Events or events affecting the mortgage servicing industry as a whole and not specific to Subservicer.
In the event of a major computer software system change to the Subservicer’s primary servicing system, the parties will agree to waive the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger Event and the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger for a period of six (6) calendar months from the date that such system change was implemented; provided that the Subservicer provided at least ninety (90) days’ notice to the Owner/Servicer of such system change.
F. Definitions

“Affected SLA”: (i) In the event that there are major system changes impacting the Subservicer’s servicing platform as a whole, for a period of six months following such changes or increase, all SLAs and (ii) in the event that there are major system changes impacting particular areas of the Subservicer’s servicing activities, for a period of six months following such changes, all SLAs related to such areas.
For the avoidance of doubt, if there is a system change, the double and triple SLA penalties shall not count towards the Excessive SLA Failure Trigger. However, they shall count towards the Subservicer Economics and during the six month period reference above the 25% cap on adjustments to Subservicer Economics shall be in place.
“Delinquency Ratio”: With respect to the Subject Loans, as of the end of each calendar month, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the total unpaid principal balance of the Subject Loans which are 90+ Day Delinquent, including Subject Loans in foreclosure which are 90+ Day Delinquent, Subject Loans in bankruptcy which are 90+ Day Delinquent, plus the loan balance (prior to conversion to REO) of REO Properties, that were serviced or subserviced by the Subservicer during such month and (y) the denominator of which is the total unpaid principal balance of all Subject Loans.
“Force Majeure Event”: Any event beyond the reasonable control of the Subservicer including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services.
“Foreclosure Sale Ratio”: With respect to the Subject Loans, as of the end of each calendar month, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is total number of Subject Loans with respect to which the foreclosure sale has been completed as of the end of the day on the last day of such calendar month, and (y) the denominator of which is the total number of Subject Loans counted in the Subservicer’s foreclosure inventory (whether active or on hold) as of the end of the day on the last day of such calendar month.
“Incentive Amount”: For each SLA, the amount computed pursuant to Exhibit F, if applicable.
“Measurement Loans”: Other than any Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Subservicer is solely performing Master Servicing functions, the Prior Ocwen Serviced Loans hereunder and under any NRZ Servicing/Subservicing Agreement or any mortgage loans subserviced by Subservicer pursuant to the NRM Agency Subservicing Agreement and any Mortgage Loans subject to an MSRPA Servicing Agreement (as defined in the New RMSR Agreement) as of the date of the New RMSR Agreement or that were previously subject to a Deferred Servicing Agreement (as defined in the Master Agreement) and which, in each case, are being serviced or subserviced by Subservicer for any NRZ O/S Entity or any of their respective Affiliates or securitizations sponsored by New Residential Investment Corp. or any of its subsidiaries, including on an interim basis, but excluding any Mortgage Loans with respect to which (x) the Servicing Rights have been transferred to a third party pursuant to the New RMSR Agreement or the Servicing Addendum, (y) the Rights to MSRs (as defined in the New RMSR Agreement) and Transferred Receivables Assets (as defined in the New RMSR Agreement) have been transferred to Subservicer or an Affiliate of Subservicer pursuant to the New RMSR Agreement or the Servicing Addendum or (z) the subservicing of such Mortgage Loans is being performed by a party other than Subservicer or an Affiliate of Subservicer pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Servicing Addendum.

For the avoidance of doubt penalties and incentives related to Master Servicing SLAs shall not count towards the calculation of the Net SLA Monthly Penalty Amount.
“New Mortgage Loan”: With respect to any existing Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement, the Shellpoint PLS Subservicing Agreement or the Servicing Addendum, a new mortgage loan (i) which is originated when the related Mortgagor (A) refinances such existing Mortgage Loan with proceeds from such new mortgage loan which is secured by the same mortgaged property or (B) pays off in full such existing Mortgage Loan and obtains a new mortgage loan secured by a different mortgaged property and, in each case, such refinancing or new borrowing resulted from the solicitation efforts of the Subservicer or any brokers, correspondent lenders, agents or independent contractors that Subservicer engaged to solicit such refinancing or new borrowing on its behalf and (ii) for which the related Servicing Rights are transferred to the Owner/Servicer
or Shellpoint pursuant to Exhibit B of this Agreement, the Shellpoint PLS Subservicing Agreement or the Servicing Addendum.
“OTS Methodology”: A method of calculating delinquency of a Subject Loan based upon The Office of Thrift Supervision method, under which method a Subject Loan is considered delinquent if the payment has not been received by the Subject Loan’s next due date. For example, a Subject Loan with a due date of August 1, 2017, with no payment received by the close of business on September 1, 2017, would have been reported as delinquent on October 1, 2017.
“Penalty Amount”: For each SLA, the amount computed pursuant to Exhibit F, including, without limitation, the application of any applicable double penalties, triple penalties or waivers and taking into account the consecutive failure requirement for a penalty to be assessed.
