Allocations and Distributions

Section 5.1 Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. This Section 5.1 sets forth the rules for both the book allocations of Net Income (and items of income and gain) and Net Loss (and items of loss and deduction), to reflect the economic arrangements of the Members and, subject to Section 5.5, for the tax allocations for United States federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Section 704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, Net Loss shall be allocated among the Members with respect to each Fiscal Period as of the end of such Fiscal Period pro rata based upon their respective Common Interest Percentages.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, Net Income shall be allocated among the Members with respect to each Fiscal Period as of the end of such Fiscal Period pro rata based upon their respective Common Interest Percentages.

Section 5.2 Adjustments and Special Allocations.

The following special allocations shall be made in the following order and prior to any other allocations under this Agreement:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V and except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Period of the Company, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and (j)(2). This Section 5.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, then, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). This Section 5.2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially

allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Section have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(c) were not in the Agreement. This Section 5.2(c) is intended to satisfy the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistent therewith.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Common Interest Percentage.

(e) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period of the Company or portion thereof shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(f) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset is required pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) (2) or (4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such sections of the Treasury Regulations.

Section 5.3 Net Loss Limitation.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1(a), the Net Losses (or items of deduction or loss) allocated pursuant to Section 5.1(a) hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses (or items of deduction or loss) that can be so allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Period. In the event that some but not all Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of the allocation of Net Losses (or items of deduction or loss) pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, the limitation set forth in this Section 5.3 shall be applied on a Member by Member basis and Net Losses (or items of deduction or loss) not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the respective positive balances in such Members’ Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses (or items of deduction or loss) to each Member under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

Section 5.4 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) For purposes of determining the Net Income, Net Loss or other items allocable to any Fiscal Period, subject to approval by the Board pursuant to Section 6.3(a)(xiv) hereof, Net Income, Net Losses and such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis as determined by the Managing Member using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b) “Excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall, subject to Section 6.3(a)(xiv) hereof, be allocated to the Members in any permissible method as determined by the Managing Member.

Section 5.5 Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c).

(a) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the correlative item of book income, gain, loss, deduction and credit is allocated pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. In addition, in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value at the time of contribution using the “traditional method” as set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).

(b) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted in accordance with the definition of Gross Asset Value hereof, subsequent allocations of items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its adjusted Gross Asset Value in a manner consistent with the principles of Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall, subject to Section 6.3(a)(xiv) hereof, be made by the Managing Member in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Members’ Capital Account or share of Net Income (or items of income or gain) or Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction), other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 5.6 Distributions.

Within thirty (30) days following the completion of each Fiscal Quarter, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute to all Members an amount equal to the Distributable Net Income for such Fiscal Quarter pro rata based upon their respective Common Interest Percentages.

(b) In the event that, as a result of any change in law, rule or regulation or interpretation thereof after the date hereof, as set forth in a written document by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction, (i) any term or provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, in the written opinion of nationally-recognized counsel of either party, is not compliant in any material respect with any applicable law, including RESPA, or (ii) the financial terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, taken as a whole, become materially inconsistent with the then-current market, the Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restructure the business and operations of the Company and amend the relevant provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the extent necessary to achieve as closely as possible the intention of the parties with respect to the economics of the relationships provided for in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in a manner that complies with such law, and, in the case of a change in law, rule or regulation described in (ii) above, the Cendant Member shall have the right, by

providing written notice to the PHH Member, to cause PMC and the PHH Member to enter into good faith discussions to renegotiate the economic terms provided for in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In the event the Members fail to reach agreement regarding any such restructuring and renegotiation on terms that are reasonably satisfactory to the Cendant Member within thirty (30) days following the date on which written notice is provided by the Cendant Member, the existing financial terms shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that in such case the Cendant Member may elect to solicit from the PHH Member and from other Persons a request for proposals for the provision of mortgage services substantially similar to those provided for in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In the event that any proposal received by the Cendant Member contains financial and other terms that, taken as a whole, are reasonably determined by the Cendant Member to be superior to those set forth in the PHH Member’s proposal, and the Cendant Member notifies the PHH Member of its intent to accept such proposal, the PHH Member shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such notification to review and determine whether to accept all of the terms of such proposal, so long as such proposal complies with all applicable laws and regulations (it being understood that the Cendant Member shall have no obligation to accept any proposal at all). In the event that the PHH Member agrees to the terms of such proposal within such thirty (30) day period, such terms shall be incorporated into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents effective as of a date not later than ten (10) days following such agreement. In the event the PHH Member fails to accept the terms of such proposal, then the Cendant Member, at its option, shall have the right to terminate its relationship as set forth in this Agreement by providing written notice (the “Special Termination Notice”) to the PHH Member and through completion of the transaction contemplated by Section 8.4(b) (a “Special Termination Event”). In the event that the proposal submitted by the PHH Member is selected by the Cendant Member, the terms of such proposal shall be incorporated into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents effective as of a date not later than 20 days following the Cendant Member’s selection of such proposal.

(c) If any change in law, rule or regulation described in (b) above involves a change in RESPA that would permit Cendant or an Affiliate of Cendant to be paid directly for loan referrals to the Company, then in lieu of the provisions described in (b) above, the Members shall revise the structure and terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents so that, in lieu of the distributions provided for in this Agreement, the Company shall pay a fee to the Cendant Member in respect of each Mortgage Loan referred to the Company by Cendant or an Affiliate of Cendant in an amount not less than, at Cendant’s option, (i) 10 basis points over the average return to the Cendant Member with respect to its interest in the Company, computed as basis points per loan, over the immediately preceding six Quarterly Periods and (ii) the price the Cendant Member could obtain in the then-current market on substantially similar terms, based upon a survey of the market by Cendant and PMC with the highest and lowest bids being discounted.

Section 7.2 Consolidation.

(a) The PHH Member hereby represents and warrants to the Cendant Member that the Company will be consolidated on the books of PHH for financial reporting purposes, and that PHH has undertaken and completed prior to date hereof all analyses and investigations as shall be necessary and appropriate to support such position.

(b) The Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such actions as shall be necessary to ensure that the Company is consolidated on the books of PHH for financial reporting purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that, as a result of a change or interpretation in United States generally accepted accounting principles after the date hereof, the Company is required to be consolidated on the balance sheet of Cendant, the Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such changes to the business relationship between the parties and to the provisions of this Agreement as are requested by the Cendant Member to mitigate the effects to Cendant of such change.

Section 7.3 Certain Actions.

The Managing Member shall (i) promptly notify the Cendant Member in writing of any claim or action, or any inquiry or investigation that could result in a claim or action, initiated by any Person (including any Governmental Entity) that, if adversely resolved, would result in a material or significant restriction on the ability of the Company to conduct its business as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or that would otherwise cause a significant change in the business operations of the Company, and (ii) keep the Cendant Member actively involved in the settlement or other resolution of any such claim, action, inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that such claim, action, inquiry or investigation shall not be settled or adjusted, and the Company shall not confess a judgment against it in connection therewith, without the approval of the Board pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof.

The PHH Member shall cooperate with and assist the Cendant Member and the Cendant Designated Buyer in obtaining all consents and approvals of, making all filings and registrations with and providing all notices to, such Governmental Entities or third parties as shall be necessary or advisable to consummate such sale.

ARTICLE XII
Indemnification and Insurance

Section 12.1 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

(a) In General. The Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless all Advisors and officers of the Company (“Indemnified Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all Losses, including, without limitation, Losses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from any of the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or commission, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party is or may be a party thereto, which arises out of, relates to or is in connection with this Agreement or the management or conduct of the business or affairs of the Company, except for any such Losses that are found, pursuant to a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Agreement or knowing violation of law by, the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification. The termination of any proceeding by settlement shall not be deemed to create a presumption that the Indemnified Party involved in such settlement acted in a manner which constituted gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct or a knowing violation of law. All judgments against an Indemnified Party wherein such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification shall, to the extent available, be satisfied from Company assets. The provisions of this Section 12.1 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced (and must be advanced to Advisors) by the Company prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The right of any Indemnified Party to the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided herein shall be cumulative of and in addition to any and all rights to which such Indemnified Party may otherwise be

entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnified Party’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

(b) Any indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 12.1 (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Indemnified Party is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 12.1. Such determination shall be made (i) by a four-fifths vote of the Board, or (ii) if a four-fifths vote of the Board so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

(c) For purposes of this Section 12.1, any reference to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving entity, any constituent entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any Person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent entity, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent entity as a director, officer or manager of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 12.1 with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he or she would have with respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had continued.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Article XII to the contrary, the Company will not have the obligation of indemnifying any Person with respect to proceedings, claims or actions initiated or brought voluntarily by such Person and not by way of defense.

(e) Any indemnification or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 12.1 shall be considered retroactive to the date upon which the Certificate of Formation was filed with the State of Delaware.

Section 12.2 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any Person who is or was an Advisor or officer identified in Section 12.1 against any liability asserted against such Person or incurred by such Person in such a capacity or arising out of the status of such a Person, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against that liability under Section 12.1 or otherwise.

Section 12.3 Limit on Liability of Members. The indemnification set forth in this Article XII shall in no event cause the Members to incur any personal liability beyond their total Capital Contributions, nor shall it result in any liability of the Members to any third party.

Section 12.4 Indemnification by Managing Member.

(a) The Managing Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all other Members and their respective Affiliates (“Other Indemnified Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all Losses, including, without limitation, Losses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from any of the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or commission, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Other Indemnified Party is or may be a party thereto, arising out of or resulting from (i) the negligence, willful misconduct or violation of law or erroneous acts of or by the Managing Member or any of its officers or employees in connection with the management of the business and affairs of the Company, and (ii) any breach or violation by PMC or any of its Affiliates of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including, without limitation, any indemnification payment made to an Advisor or officer under this Article XII hereof as a result of such breach or violation), it being understood that the Company shall retain all risk with respect to, and the Managing Member shall have no indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to, loan level origination defects not otherwise resulting from any of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 12.4(a). The provisions of this Section 12.4 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The right of any Other Indemnified Party to the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided herein shall be cumulative of and in addition to any and all rights to which such Other Indemnified Party may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Other Indemnified Party’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

(b) In the case of a PHH Regulatory Event, the PHH Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against all Losses incurred by it arising out of or resulting from such PHH Regulatory Event, except, in any such case, to the extent that the Regulatory Order or Proceeding or Losses leading to such PHH Regulatory Event are caused solely by Cendant or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, advisors or employees.

(c) In the case of a Company Regulatory Event, the PHH Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against all Losses incurred or sustained by it arising out of or resulting from such Company Regulatory

Event, except, in any case, to the extent that the Regulatory Order or Proceeding or Losses leading to such Company Regulatory Event are caused solely by Cendant or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, advisors or employees.

(d) In the event there is a breach or violation by PMC or its Affiliates (excluding the Company), on the one hand, or by Cendant or its Affiliates, on the other hand, of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, then the breaching Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other Party and each Advisor.

Section 12.5 No Additional Indemnification Rights.

Except as set forth herein, no Person (including, without limitation, any Member and any officer, director or agent of any Member) shall have indemnification rights against the Company.

ARTICLE XIII
Miscellaneous Provisions

Section 13.1 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which will constitute one and the same.

Section 13.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and contains all of the agreements among such parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede any and all other agreements, either oral or written, between such parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 13.3 Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

Section 13.4 Amendment. Except as expressly provided herein (including Section 10.1 hereof), this Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed by all the Members. Following such amendment, the Agreement, as

amended, shall be binding upon all Members. The Company shall notify the Secretary of HUD of any amendments to this Agreement which would affect the Company’s action under any HUD/FHA administered mortgage insurance program.

Section 13.6 Negotiation and Mediation.

(a) Negotiation. In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Dispute”), upon the written notice of any Member hereto, the Members shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. If the Members are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within 30 days after the receipt of such notice, the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with Section 13.6(b) hereof.

(b) Mediation. Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 13.6(a) hereof shall, at the request (the “Mediation Request”) of any Member (the “Disputing Member”), be submitted to mediation in accordance with the then-prevailing Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as modified herein (the “Rules”). The mediation shall be held in New York, New York. The Members shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by a party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the Members within twenty (20) days of receipt by a Member (or Members) of a Mediation Request, then any Member may request (on written notice to the other Member or Members), that the American Arbitration Association appoint a mediator in accordance with the Rules. All mediation pursuant to this Section 13.6(b) shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations, and no oral or documentary representations made by the Members during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. No Member shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by another Member in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation award without the prior written consent of such other Member except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by law, rule or regulation or requested by a governmental authority or securities exchange. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Member intending to make such disclosure shall give the other Member a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. If the Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a Mediator, or within ninety (90) days of delivery by a Disputing Member of notice in accordance with Section 13.10 (whichever occurs sooner) or within such longer period as the

Members may agree to in writing, then any Member may file an action on the Dispute in any court having jurisdiction in accordance with Section 13.7 herein.

Section 13.7 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAWS RULES THEREOF, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE MEMBERS HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. Any legal suit, action or proceeding against any of the Parties hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall only be instituted in any federal or state court in New York, New York, pursuant to Section 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Parties hereby agree to venue in such courts and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim that any such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Section 13.8 Offset. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum to any Member, any amounts that Member owes the Company may be deducted from that sum before payment.

Section 13.9 Effect of Waiver or Consent. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver is contained in a written notice given to the party claiming such waiver has occurred. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 13.11 shall apply regardless of the form of action in which a claim is brought, whether in contract, tort (including negligence of any kind, whether active or passive), warranty, strict liability or any other legal or equitable grounds, and shall survive failure of an exclusive remedy.

Section 13.12 Most Favored Nation.

If during the term of this Agreement PMC or any of its Affiliates enters into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with a third party whereby PMC or such Affiliate (or any other entity formed in connection with such agreement, arrangement or understanding) agrees to provide substantially the same Mortgage Loan origination services to such third party, and such agreement, arrangement or understanding contains pricing (other than the pricing of loans) or servicing terms or conditions that, taken as a whole, are more favorable to such third party than the comparable terms of this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents, taken as a whole, are to Cendant, then the Company shall offer such favorable terms and conditions to the Cendant Member with respect to Mortgage Loans originated by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and amend this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents, as applicable, to the extent necessary so that such terms and conditions are incorporated in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Cendant Member.
