Holdings may from time to time designate any of Seller’s servicing obligations under a Deferred Servicing Agreement and assume the performance of such obligations so long as such assumption is permitted pursuant to such Deferred Servicing Agreement and does not limit Seller’s right to receive the Servicing Fees pursuant to such Deferred Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or this Sale Supplement to the contrary, HLSS may transfer the Rights to MSRs to any third party and/or may direct Seller to transfer the Servicing Rights to a third party that can obtain the required Third Party Consents, subject to the right of the Seller to receive the Seller Monthly Servicing Fee, the Performance Fee, the Ancillary Income and, if applicable, the Prepayment Interest Excess owed to Seller with respect to such Deferred Servicing Agreement pursuant to Article 7. For the avoidance of doubt, HLSS shall be entitled to receive all proceeds of such transfer.
-20-
6.13 Termination Event. In the case that any Termination Event occurs with respect to any Servicing Agreement during the Consent Period, Seller shall, upon HLSS’s written direction to such effect, use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the Servicing Rights relating to any affected Servicing Agreement to a third party servicer identified by HLSS with respect to which all required Third Party Consents with respect to such Servicing Agreement can be obtained. HLSS shall be entitled to receive all proceeds of such transfer.
6.14 Servicing Transfer. Seller and Purchasers shall, prior to the Servicing Transfer Date with respect to each Servicing Agreement, work in good faith to determine and agree upon applicable servicing transfer procedures with respect to such Servicing Agreement.
6.15 Incorporation of Provisions from Subservicing Agreement. The provisions of each of Sections 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 (excluding the first sentence thereof), 5.17 and 5.18, and Exhibit A of the Subservicing Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Sale Supplement by reference, mutatis mutandis, as if its provisions were fully set forth herein; provided that any reference therein to the defined terms “Ocwen,” “Servicer,” “Mortgage Loan,” “Subject Servicing Agreement” and “Agreement,” shall be deemed for purposes of this Sale Supplement to be references to the terms “Seller,” “Holdings,” “Deferred Mortgage Loan,” “Deferred Servicing Agreement” and “Sale Supplement,” respectively and any reference therein to the phrase “during the term of this Agreement” shall be deemed for purposes of this Sale Supplement to be references to the phrase “until the last Servicing Transfer Date.”
ARTICLE 7
SELLER SERVICING FEES; COSTS AND EXPENSES
7.1 Seller Monthly Servicing Fee. As consideration for Seller servicing the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Deferred Servicing Agreements during the applicable Consent Period but prior to the earlier of the date on which the Servicing Rights are transferred from Seller with respect to a Deferred Servicing Agreement or Servicing Fee Reset Date, Holdings shall pay to Seller a monthly base servicing fee for each calendar month during such period during which Seller is servicing Mortgage Loans with respect to Deferred Servicing Agreements pursuant to this Sale Supplement equal to 12% of the aggregate Servicing Fees actually received by Purchasers under this Sale Supplement during such calendar month with respect the Deferred Servicing Agreements (the “Seller Monthly Servicing Fee”).
7.2 Performance Fee. In addition to the Seller Monthly Servicing Fee, Holdings shall pay to Seller for each calendar month during which Holdings is servicing Mortgage Loans with respect to Deferred Servicing Agreements pursuant to this Sale Supplement a performance fee (“Performance Fee”) equal to the greater of (a) zero and (b) (x) the excess, if any, of the aggregate of all Servicing Fees actually received by Purchasers with respect to the Deferred Servicing Agreements and pursuant to the Transferred Servicing Agreements (whether directly
-21-
pursuant to such Transferred Servicing Agreements or pursuant to this Sale Supplement) during such calendar month over the sum of (i) the Monthly Servicing Fee for such calendar month and (ii) the Retained Servicing Fee for such calendar month multiplied by (y) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the average unpaid principal balance of all Mortgage Loans subject to the Deferred Servicing Agreements during such calendar month and (ii) the denominator of which is equal to the sum of the average unpaid principal balance of all Mortgage Loans subject to the Deferred Servicing Agreements during such calendar month and the average unpaid principal balance of all Mortgage Loans subject to the Transferred Servicing Agreements during such calendar month, or such other allocation percentage which is agreed by Seller and Holdings (the “Allocation Percentage”). The Performance Fee, if any, for any calendar month will be reduced by an amount equal to (y) 6.50% per annum (i.e., 0.5417% per month) of the Excess Servicing Advances, if any, for such month multiplied by the Allocation Percentage, and the amount of any such reduction in the Performance Fee shall be retained by Holdings. If the Closing Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar month, the Performance Fee for the period from the Closing Date to the last of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be calculated in a pro rata manner based on the number of days in such period. Notwithstanding any provision in this Sale Supplement to the contrary, in the event Holdings has failed to pay Seller any Seller Monthly Servicing Fee or Performance Fees that are past due after ten (10) Business Days of Holdings receiving notice of such failure, Seller shall not be required to continue to act as subservicer until such time as Holdings has fully paid such past due Seller Monthly Servicing Fee or Performance Fee; provided that Holdings shall not have notified Seller that it disputes the occurrence or amount of such past due Seller Monthly Servicing Fee or Performance Fee.
7.3 Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement or this Sale Supplement, each party hereto shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Agreement, this Sale Supplement and all documents relating thereto. Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its obligations hereunder to the extent such expenses do not constitute Servicer Advances and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein or in the applicable Deferred Servicing Agreement. Seller shall reimburse Purchasers for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including legal fees, incurred by Purchasers in connection with obtaining any required Third Party Consents; provided, however, that neither Purchaser shall incur such costs without the prior written approval of Seller.
7.4 Ancillary Income. Seller shall be entitled to retain as additional compensation any Ancillary Income and any Prepayment Interest Excess received by Seller with respect to the Deferred Mortgage Loans, and all income from amounts on deposit in Custodial Accounts and Related Escrow Accounts related to the Deferred Servicing Agreements, to the extent such Ancillary Income, Prepayment Interest Excess or income is permitted to be retained by Seller pursuant to the related Deferred Servicing Agreement.
7.5 Calculation and Payment. No later than the second Business Day following the receipt by Purchasers of the Monthly Servicing Oversight Report for a calendar month, Holdings will remit to Seller in immediately available funds the Seller Monthly Servicing Fee and Performance Fees payable by Holdings to Seller for the related calendar month, along with a report showing in reasonable detail the calculation of such Seller Monthly Servicing Fees and Performance Fees.
-22-
7.6 No Offset. Neither party shall have any right to offset against any amount payable hereunder or other agreement to the other party, or otherwise reduce any amount payable hereunder as a result of, any amount owing by the other party or any of its Affiliates to such party or any of its Affiliates.
7.7 Servicing Fee Reset Date. The servicing fees payable to Seller after the Servicing Fee Reset Date shall be subject to negotiation between Seller and Holdings. If Seller and Holdings are unable to agree to such servicing fee prior to the Servicing Fee Reset Date, Seller shall, upon Holding’s written direction to such effect, transfer the Servicing Rights relating to all of the Deferred Servicing Agreements to a third party servicer identified by Holdings with respect to which all required Third Party Consents with respect to the Deferred Servicing Agreements can be obtained. Holdings shall be entitled to receive all proceeds related to such transfer.

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 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.

-24-
(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 xxx upon any such claim for Special Damages, whether or not accrued or whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

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) 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.
