RECITALS
(a)The Depositor is a special purpose Delaware limited liability company. The Depositor and OLS are parties to that certain Receivables Sale Agreement (the “Original Receivables Sale Agreement”), dated as of August 31, 2010 (the “Original Closing Date”). The Original Receivables Sale Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety by that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement”), dated as of March 5, 2012 (the “Amended and Restated Closing Date”), among the Depositor, HLSS and OLS. The Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety by that certain Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement”), dated as of September 13, 2012 (the “Second Amended and Restated Closing Date”), among the Depositor, HLSS and OLS. Pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement, HLSS, OLS and the Depositor may amend the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement by written instrument provided that: (i) so long as the Notes are outstanding, more than 50% of the Holders of all Outstanding Notes, each Supplemental Credit Provider and each Liquidity Provider provide their prior written consent, (ii) HLSS shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an officer’s certificate to the effect that HLSS reasonably believes that any such amendment will not have an Adverse Effect on the Noteholders, and (iii) OLS shall promptly notify each Note Rating Agency of any such amendment and shall furnish a copy of any such amendment to each such Note Rating Agency. The Depositor, OLS and HLSS wish to amend and restate in its entirety the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement, pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement.
(a) OLS is the “Servicer” under certain pooling and servicing agreements, sale and servicing agreements, and servicing agreements (each, as may be amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Servicing Agreement” and, collectively, the “Servicing Agreements”). As of the Effective Date, with respect to the Servicing Agreements identified on Schedule 2 attached hereto (the “Homeward Designated Servicing Agreements”), OLS is assuming such servicing rights and obligations by acting as a subservicer of the mortgage loans for Homeward (each, as may be amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Subserviced Servicing Agreement” and, collectively, the “Subserviced Servicing Agreements”), including the obligation to make Advances from and after the Effective Date and the right to collect the related Receivables in reimbursement of such Advances and the right to collect Receivables in existence on the Effective Date related to Advances made by Homeward. Certain Servicing Agreements and Subserviced Servicing Agreements will be designated as described herein for inclusion under this Agreement, the Receivables Pooling Agreement and the Indenture (each, as may be amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Designated Servicing Agreement” and, collectively, the “Designated Servicing Agreements”).
(b) OLS has sold and is selling the economics associated with the servicing rights under the Designated Servicing Agreements to HLSS, which is wholly owned by Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd., an exempted company formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands. On the Second Amended and Restated Closing Date or the Effective Date, as applicable, and until the MSR Transfer Date with respect to any Designated Servicing Agreement, OLS shall continue to (i) be the “Servicer” under such Designated Servicing Agreement, (ii) have the obligation to make the required Advances under such Designated Servicing Agreement, (iii) have the right to collect the related Receivables in reimbursement of such Advances, and (iv) have the right to collect Receivables in existence on the Second Amended and Restated Closing Date or the Effective Date, as applicable, related to Advances. Upon its disbursement of an Advance pursuant to a Designated Servicing Agreement (including the Subserviced Servicing Agreements), OLS, as servicer (until the related MSR Transfer Date), becomes the beneficiary of a contractual right to be reimbursed for such Advance in accordance with the terms of the related Designated Servicing Agreement (including the Subserviced Servicing Agreements). Immediately, upon their creation, OLS shall sell the related Receivables to HLSS for cash purchase prices equal to 100% of their respective Receivable Balances pursuant to this Agreement (until the related MSR Transfer Date) and the Purchase Agreement (defined below), and HLSS shall sell and/or contribute the Receivables it purchases from OLS, to the Depositor as described in Paragraph (g) below.
(c) When all required consents and ratings agency letters required for a formal change of the named servicer under a Designated Servicing Agreement from OLS to HLSS shall have been obtained, OLS shall sell to HLSS all of the servicing rights and obligations under such Designated Servicing Agreement (the “MSR Transfer Date”) pursuant to the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2012, and related Sale Supplements, dated as of February 10, 2012, May 1, 2012, August 1, 2012, September 13, 2012 and March 13, 2013, by and between OLS and HLSS (as may be amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time and including any future sale supplements, the “Purchase Agreement”). Following the MSR Transfer Date for any Designated Servicing Agreement, HLSS shall be the “Servicer” under such Designated Servicing Agreement, and HLSS shall thereafter (i) be the “Servicer” under such Designated Servicing Agreement, (ii) have the obligation to make the required Advances under such Designated Servicing Agreement, (iii) have the right to collect the related Receivables in reimbursement of such Advances, and (iv) have the right to collect Receivables in existence on the MSR Transfer Date related to Advances. Upon its disbursement of an Advance pursuant to a Designated Servicing Agreement, HLSS, as servicer (on and after the related MSR Transfer Date), becomes the beneficiary of a contractual right to be reimbursed for such Advance in accordance with the terms of the related Designated Servicing Agreement. OLS will initially be engaged by HLSS as subservicer for all of the Designated Servicing Agreements as to which the related MSR Transfer Date has occurred under a subservicing agreement (as may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Subservicing Agreement”). Other subservicers may be appointed for some or all of the Designated Servicing Agreements or for other servicing rights acquired by HLSS from time to time in compliance with Section 5(a)(xxxiii) hereof.
(d) HLSS Servicer Advance Receivables Trust (formerly known as HomEq Servicer Advance Receivables Trust 2010-ADV1 (the “Issuer”), HLSS, as servicer (on and after the related MSR Transfer Date) and as Administrator, OLS, as servicer (until the related MSR Transfer Date) and as subservicer (on the related MSR Transfer Date), Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), as Calculation Agent, as Paying Agent and as Securities Intermediary, Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), as administrative agent, Sheffield Receivables Corporation and Ocwen Financial Corporation entered into an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of March 5, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified until the date hereof, the “Amended and Restated Indenture”), amending and restating that certain Indenture, dated as of August 31, 2010 (the “Original Indenture”).
(e) Pursuant to the Original Indenture, the Issuer issued term amortizing asset-backed notes in four classes and a variable funding note, all collateralized by the Receivables. On the Amended and Restated Closing Date, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture, the Series 2010-ADV1 Class D Term Notes were paid in full and retired. The remaining Series 2010-ADV1 Notes were amended to have terms consistent with those set forth in the Amended and Restated Indenture. On the Second Amended and Restated Closing Date, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Indenture (as may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time and including any indenture supplement, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, HLSS, as servicer (on and after the related MSR Transfer Date) and as Administrator, OLS, as servicer (until the related MSR Transfer Date) and as subservicer (on the related MSR Transfer Date), the Indenture Trustee, as Indenture Trustee, as Calculation Agent, as Paying Agent and as Securities Intermediary, Barclays, as administrative agent and sole Holder of the Series 2010-ADV1 Notes and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, as administrative agent, the Amended and Restated Indenture was amended and restated to provide for, among other things, the Issuer’s authority to issue different Series of Advance Receivables Backed Notes from time to time, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. Such Advance Receivables Backed Notes shall be collateralized by the Aggregate Receivables and related property and certain monies in respect thereof now owned and to be hereafter acquired by the Issuer.
(f) HLSS, as receivables seller, desires to sell and/or contribute, assign, transfer and convey to the Depositor all its contractual rights (A) to reimbursement pursuant to the terms of a Designated Servicing Agreement for an Advance (other than Servicing Fee Advances) made by the Servicer (including any predecessor servicer) pursuant to such Designated Servicing Agreement, which Advance has not previously been reimbursed, or (B) to payment pursuant to the terms of a Designated Servicing listed on the Servicing Fee Advance Designated Servicing Agreement Schedule for a Servicing Fee Advance owed the Servicer pursuant to the terms of a Designated Servicing Agreement listed on the Servicing Fee Advance Designated Servicing Agreement Schedule for a Servicing Fee Advance owed to the Servicer pursuant to such Designated Servicing Agreement which has been accrued by the Servicer but not paid, and including in either case all rights of the Servicer (including any predecessor Servicer) to enforce payment of such obligation under the related Servicing Agreement and which it either acquires from OLS (before the related MSR Transfer Date) or creates itself as described in (A) or (B) above (on or after the related MSR Transfer Date), from the date hereof through the Receivables Sale Termination Date, under the Designated Servicing Agreements (a “Receivable” and, collectively, the “Receivables”), pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor has entered into a Second Amended and Restated Receivables Pooling Agreement, dated as of September 13, 2013 (as may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Pooling Agreement”), which amended and restated that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Pooling Agreement dated as of March 5, 2012 (the “Amended and Restated Receivables Pooling Agreement”), which in turn amended and restated that certain Receivables Pooling Agreement dated as of August 31, 2010 (the “Original Receivables Pooling Agreement”), to sell and/or contribute, assign, transfer and convey to the Issuer all Receivables acquired by the Depositor from HLSS, as receivables seller, immediately upon the Depositor’s acquisition of such Receivables pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that all Receivables in existence on the Second Amended and Restated Closing Date shall have been transferred from OLS to the Depositor under the Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement and from the Depositor to the Issuer under the Amended and Restated Receivables Pooling Agreement prior to the Second Amended and Restated Closing Date.
(g) In consideration of each transfer by HLSS, as receivables seller, to the Depositor of the Transferred Assets on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Depositor has agreed to pay to HLSS a purchase price equal to 100% of the fair market value thereof on each Sale Date. To the extent the purchase price actually paid in cash by the Depositor for the Transferred Assets is less than 100% of the fair market value thereof, the consideration for such excess fair market value shall be an increase in the value of the membership interest of the Depositor, 100% of which is held by HLSS, by the amount by which the fair market value of such Receivable exceeds the cash purchase price actually paid therefor.

(i) Facility Eligible Receivables.

(x) HLSS’s Reporting Obligations. With respect to each Receivable, HLSS is not aware of any circumstances which could reasonably be expected to make it unable to perform its reporting obligations as set forth in the Indenture in any material respect.
(xi) UCC Classification. No Receivable is secured by “real property” or “fixtures” or evidenced by an “instrument” under and as defined in the UCC. The Aggregate Receivables constitute “general intangibles,” “accounts” or “payment intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

Each Receivable is assignable by HLSS, and by the Depositor and its successors and assigns, without the consent of any other Person (except any such consent that shall have been obtained), and upon acquiring the Receivables the Issuer will have the right to pledge the Receivables without the consent of any other Person and without any other restrictions on such pledge.
(c) Survival. It its understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5(a) and Section 5(b) shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement.

Such representations and warranties and the rights and remedies for the breach thereof shall survive the sale and/or contribution, assignment, transfer and conveyance of any Receivables from HLSS to the Depositor and its assignees, and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and shall be fully exercisable by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(d) Remedies Upon Breach. HLSS shall inform the Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agent promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder. Unless such breach shall have been cured or waived within thirty (30) days after the earlier to occur of the discovery of such breach by HLSS or receipt of written notice of such breach by HLSS, such that, in the case of a representation and warranty, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on such day, and HLSS shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an officer’s certificate describing the nature of such breach and the manner in which the relevant representation and warranty became true and correct or the breach was otherwise cured, HLSS shall either repurchase the affected Receivables or indemnify its assignees (including the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each of their respective assignees), against and hold its assignees (including the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each of their respective assignees) harmless from any cost, liability and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether incurred in enforcement proceedings between the parties or otherwise, incurred as a result of, or arising from, such breach (each such repurchase or indemnification amount to be paid hereunder, an “Indemnity Payment”), the amount of which shall equal the Receivables Balance of any affected Receivable; provided, that any unpaid amount shall be payable at such time only if the Collateral Test is not satisfied, to the extent necessary to satisfy the Collateral Test. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Collateral Test is satisfied on the date the obligation to make the Indemnity Payment first arises, the requirement to make such Indemnity Payment shall be applied on any subsequent date to the extent the Collateral Test is not satisfied on such subsequent date. This Section 5(d) sets forth the exclusive remedy for a breach of representation, warranty or covenant by HLSS pertaining to a Receivable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant shall not be waived by the Issuer under any circumstances without the consent of the Majority Holders of the Outstanding Notes of each Series and the Administrative Agent.

(a) Without limiting any other rights that an OLS Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, OLS agrees to indemnify each OLS Indemnified Party from and against any and all OLS Indemnification Amounts which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an OLS Indemnified Party in any way arising out of or relating to (1) any breach of OLS’s obligations under this Agreement, (2) the removal of OLS or any OFC-Owned Servicer as Servicer or Subservicer with respect to any of the MBS Trusts by the related MBS Trustee on account of a failure to satisfy any condition to transfer of servicing as set forth under the definition of "MSR Transfer Notice" with respect thereto, (3) the reliance of the parties hereto on Section 14(a) of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement to amend the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement, (4) that otherwise arise out of, result from or in any way relate to the execution and delivery of or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and/or (5) the ownership of the Initial Receivables, OLS Additional Receivables or in respect of any such Receivable, excluding, however, OLS Indemnification Amounts to the extent resulting from (1) the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such OLS Indemnified Party or (2) the failure of a particular MBS Trust to generate sufficient cash flow to pay the Receivables attributable to that MBS Trust.
(b) Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, OLS shall pay on demand to each OLS Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such OLS Indemnified Party from and against any and all OLS Indemnification Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(i) reliance on any representation or warranty made by OLS under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any report or any other information delivered by it pursuant hereto, which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered;
(ii) the failure by OLS to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement, or any agreement executed by it in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable, or the nonconformity of any Receivable with any such applicable law, rule or regulation; or
(iii) the failure of this Agreement to vest and maintain vested in HLSS, or to transfer, to HLSS, legal and equitable title to and ownership of the OLS Additional Receivables which are, or are purported to be, Receivables, together with all collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any adverse claim (except as permitted hereunder) whether existing at the time of the transfer of such Receivable or at any time thereafter.
(c) Any OLS Indemnification Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 12 shall be paid to the OLS Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days following demand therefor. “OLS Indemnified Party” means any of HLSS, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders. “OLS Indemnification Amounts” means any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, investigations, judgments, suits (or other proceedings commenced or threatened in respect thereof), and related reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by or made against an OLS Indemnified Party or any person, if any, who controls such OLS Indemnified Party within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, and the respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees of such OLS Indemnified Party and each such person with respect to this Agreement as a result of a breach by OLS, as described in Section 12(a), including without limitation, the enforcement hereof.
(d) (1) Promptly after an OLS Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or other first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be claimed against OLS under this Section 12, the OLS Indemnified Party shall notify OLS in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, but failure so to notify OLS shall not relieve OLS from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that OLS is prejudiced by such failure so to notify OLS.
(i) OLS will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such OLS Indemnified Party, and, after notice from OLS to such OLS Indemnified Party that OLS wishes to assume the defense of any such action, OLS will not be liable to such OLS Indemnified Party under this Section 12 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such OLS Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of any such action unless, (A) the defendants in any such action include both the OLS Indemnified Party and OLS, and the OLS Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to OLS, or one or more OLS Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable judgment of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both OLS and such OLS Indemnified Party, (B) OLS shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the OLS Indemnified Party to represent the OLS Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (C) OLS shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the OLS Indemnified Party at OLS’s expense; then, in any such event, such OLS Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in such action, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by OLS; provided, however, that OLS shall not in connection with any such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for any fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys at any time for all OLS Indemnified Parties. Each OLS Indemnified Party, as a condition of the indemnity agreement contained herein, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with OLS in the defense of any such action or claim.
(ii) OLS shall not, without the prior written consent of any OLS Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such OLS Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such OLS Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such OLS Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.
Section 13. Indemnification by HLSS.
(a) Without limiting any other rights that an Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, HLSS agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnification Amounts which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party in any way arising out of or relating to (1) any breach of HLSS’s obligations under this Agreement, (2) the removal of HLSS, OLS or any OFC-Owned Servicer as Servicer or Subservicer with respect to any of the MBS Trusts by the related MBS Trustee on account of a failure to satisfy any condition to transfer of servicing as set forth under the definition of "MSR Transfer Notice" with respect thereto, (3) the reliance of the parties hereto on Section 14(a) of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement to amend the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement, (4) that otherwise arise out of, result from or in any way relate to the execution and delivery of or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and/or (5) the ownership of the Aggregate Receivables or in respect of any Receivable, excluding, however, Indemnification Amounts to the extent resulting from (1) the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (2) the failure of a particular MBS Trust to generate sufficient cash flow to pay the Receivables attributable to that MBS Trust.
(b) Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, HLSS shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnification Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(i) reliance on any representation or warranty made by HLSS under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any report or any other information delivered by it pursuant hereto, which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered;
(ii) the failure by HLSS to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement, or any agreement executed by it in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable, or the nonconformity of any Receivable with any such applicable law, rule or regulation; or
(iii) the failure of this Agreement to vest and maintain vested in the Depositor, or to transfer, to the Depositor, legal and equitable title to and ownership of the Aggregate Receivables which are, or are purported to be, Receivables, together with all collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any adverse claim (except as permitted hereunder) whether existing at the time of the transfer of such Receivable or at any time thereafter.
(c) Any Indemnification Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 13 shall be paid to the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days following demand therefor. “Indemnified Party” means any of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders. “Indemnification Amounts” means any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, investigations, judgments, suits (or other proceedings commenced or threatened in respect thereof), and related reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by or made against an Indemnified Party or any person, if any, who controls such Indemnified Party within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, and the respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees of such Indemnified Party and each such person with respect to this Agreement as a result of a breach by HLSS, as described in Section 13(a), including without limitation, the enforcement hereof.
(d) (1) Promptly after an Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or other first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be claimed against HLSS under this Section 13, the Indemnified Party shall notify HLSS in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, but failure so to notify HLSS shall not relieve HLSS from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that HLSS is prejudiced by such failure so to notify HLSS.
(i) HLSS will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from HLSS to such Indemnified Party that HLSS wishes to assume the defense of any such action, HLSS will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 13 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of any such action unless, (A) the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and HLSS, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to HLSS, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable judgment of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both HLSS and such Indemnified Party, (B) HLSS shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (C) HLSS shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Party at HLSS’s expense; then, in any such event, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in such action, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by HLSS; provided, however, that HLSS shall not in connection with any such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for any fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. Each Indemnified Party, as a condition of the indemnity agreement contained herein, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with HLSS in the defense of any such action or claim.
(ii) HLSS shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.
Section 14. Miscellaneous.

In addition, so long as the Notes are outstanding, this Agreement may not be amended without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Majority Holders of the Outstanding Notes of each Series, each Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider and each Liquidity Provider unless (i) the amendment is for a purpose for which the Indenture could be amended without any Noteholder consent and (ii) HLSS shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an officer’s certificate to the effect that HLSS reasonably believes that any such amendment will not have an Adverse Effect on the Holders of the Notes. Any such amendment requested by HLSS shall be at its own expense. HLSS shall promptly notify each Note Rating Agency of any amendment of this Agreement or of the Receivables Pooling Agreement, and shall furnish a copy of any such amendment to each such Note Rating Agency.
(b) Binding Nature; Assignment. The covenants, agreements, rights and obligations contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of OLS (prior to the final MSR Transfer Date) and HLSS and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of HLSS and the Depositor, and all persons claiming by, through or under HLSS or the Depositor.
(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.
(d) Derivative Instrument. The parties hereto mutually acknowledge and agree that HLSS shall have the right under this Agreement, at any time and from time to time, to convey to the Depositor a prepaid derivative, credit enhancement agreement or similar instruments, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes.
(e) Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or non‑authorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(f) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HERETO, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and all so executed shall constitute one agreement binding on all parties hereto, notwithstanding that all the parties have not signed the original or the same counterpart. Any counterpart hereof signed by a party against whom enforcement of this Agreement is sought shall be admissible into evidence as an original hereof to prove the contents thereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(h) Indulgences; No Waivers. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or future exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.
(i) Headings Not to Affect Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and they shall not be used in the interpretation hereof.
(j) Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
(k) No Petition. Each of OLS and HLSS, by entering into this Agreement, agrees that it will not at any time prior to the date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all of the Notes, institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, Insolvency Proceedings or other similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes or this Agreement, or cause the Depositor or the Issuer to commence any reorganization, bankruptcy proceedings, or Insolvency Proceedings under any applicable state or federal law, including without limitation any readjustment of debt, or marshaling of assets or liabilities or similar proceedings.
