FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for our future operations, are forward-looking statements.
These statements include declarations regarding our management’s beliefs and current expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could”, “intend,” “consider,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict” or “continue” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Our business has been undergoing substantial change, which has magnified such uncertainties. Readers should bear these factors in mind when considering forward-looking statements and should not place undue reliance on such statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by such statements. In the past, actual results have differed from those suggested by forward-looking statements and this may happen again. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed or referenced under Item 1A, Risk Factors and the following:
uncertainty related to claims, litigation, cease and desist orders and investigations brought by government agencies and private parties regarding our servicing, foreclosure, modification, origination and other practices, including uncertainty related to past, present or future investigations, litigation, cease and desist orders and settlements with state regulators, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), State Attorneys General, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Department of Justice or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and actions brought under the False Claims Act by private parties on behalf of the United States of America regarding incentive and other payments made by governmental entities;
adverse effects on our business as a result of regulatory investigations, litigation, cease and desist orders or settlements;

our servicer and credit ratings as well as other actions from various rating agencies, including the impact of prior or future downgrades of our servicer and credit ratings;
failure of our information technology and other security measures or breach of our privacy protections, including any failure to protect customers’ data;

the characteristics of our servicing portfolio, including prepayment speeds along with delinquency and advance rates;

our ability to successfully modify delinquent loans, manage foreclosures and sell foreclosed properties;
uncertainty related to legislation, regulations, regulatory agency actions, regulatory examinations, government programs and policies, industry initiatives and evolving best servicing practices;
our dependence on New Residential Investment Corp. (NRZ) for a substantial portion of our advance funding for non-agency mortgage servicing rights;
our ability to timely transfer mortgage servicing rights under our July 2017 agreements with NRZ and our ability to maintain our long-term relationship with NRZ under these new arrangements;
the loss of the services of our senior managers;
uncertainty related to general economic and market conditions, delinquency rates, home prices and disposition timelines on foreclosed properties;
uncertainty related to the actions of loan owners and guarantors, including mortgage-backed securities investors, Ginnie Mae, trustees and government sponsored entities (GSEs), regarding loan put-backs, penalties and legal actions;

uncertainty related to the processes for judicial and non-judicial foreclosure proceedings, including potential additional costs or delays or moratoria in the future or claims pertaining to past practices;

OCWEN FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)
 
Note 1 – Organization, Business Environment and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Ocwen Financial Corporation (NYSE: OCN) (Ocwen, we, us and our) is a financial services holding company which, through its subsidiaries, originates and services loans. We are headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida with offices located throughout the United States (U.S.) and in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) and with operations located in India and the Philippines. Ocwen is a Florida corporation organized in February 1988.
Ocwen owns all of the common stock of its primary operating subsidiary, Ocwen Mortgage Servicing, Inc. (OMS), and directly or indirectly owns all of the outstanding stock of its other primary operating subsidiaries: Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (OLS), Ocwen Financial Solutions Private Limited (OFSPL), Homeward Residential, Inc. (Homeward) and Liberty Home Equity Solutions, Inc. (Liberty).
We perform primary and master servicer activities on behalf of investors and other servicers, including the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) (collectively, the GSEs), the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) and private-label securitizations (non-Agency). As primary servicer, we may be required to make certain payments of property taxes and insurance premiums, default and property maintenance payments, as well as advances of principal and interest payments before collecting them from borrowers. As master servicer, we collect mortgage payments from primary servicers and distribute the funds to investors in the mortgage-backed securities. To the extent the primary servicer does not advance the scheduled principal and interest, as master servicer we are responsible for advancing the shortfall, subject to certain limitations.
We originate, purchase, sell and securitize conventional (conforming to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; collectively referred to as Agency loans) and government-insured (Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)) forward and reverse mortgages. The GSEs or Ginnie Mae guarantee these mortgage securitizations.
We had a total of approximately 8,300 employees at September 30, 2017 of which approximately 5,400 were located in India and approximately 700 were based in the Philippines. Our operations in India and the Philippines provide internal support services, principally to our loan servicing business as well as to our corporate functions. Of our foreign-based employees, nearly 80% were engaged in supporting our loan servicing operations as of September 30, 2017.
Business Environment
We are facing certain challenges and uncertainties that could have significant adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. The ability of management to appropriately address these challenges and uncertainties in a timely manner is critical to our ability to successfully operate our business.
We have incurred a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which follows losses in each of the last three fiscal years. While these losses have eroded stockholders’ equity and weakened our financial condition, it is important to note that we generated positive operating cash flow in each of these periods. We expect our cash position to strengthen in fiscal 2017 as a result of the acceleration of proceeds we expect to receive in connection with our recent agreements with New Residential Investment Corp. (NRZ), which are discussed in additional detail in Note 8 — Rights to MSRs. As a result of the acceleration of these payments from 2018 and 2019 and before considering other strategies discussed below, it is possible the business may not generate positive operating cash flow in one or more quarters of 2018. In order to drive stronger financial performance, we have begun exploring strategic approaches to streamline our business. To that end, we are seeking to focus our operations on servicing and on portfolio recapture through our forward lending retail channel. We have also taken various strategic actions with respect to our forward lending business, as we continue to evaluate the overall mortgage lending business and marketplace. In the second quarter of 2017, we closed our forward lending correspondent channel due to low margins and began selling all of our forward lending wholesale channel originations on a servicing released basis to reduce capital consumption. We have also entered into an agreement to sell certain assets of our forward lending wholesale operation, and, upon closing of that transaction, we intend to exit the forward lending wholesale business. See Note 20 — Commitments for additional information. While these changes may limit our generation of new servicing assets in the near term, we believe that they will, over time, improve our returns and improve cash flow relative to current operations. We are also evaluating our long-term strategy with respect to our reverse lending and automotive capital services activities, which could include the sale of one or both of these businesses or certain assets of these businesses.

Our business continues to be impacted by regulatory actions, regulatory settlements and the current regulatory environment. We have faced, and expect to continue to face, heightened regulatory and public scrutiny as well as stricter and more comprehensive regulation of our business. Since April 20, 2017, the CFPB, mortgage and banking regulatory agencies from 30 states and the District of Columbia and two state attorneys general have taken regulatory actions against us that alleged deficiencies in our compliance with laws and regulations relating to our servicing and lending activities. As of November 1, 2017, we have resolved these regulatory matters with 21 states and the District of Columbia while continuing to seek resolutions with the remaining nine states and the two state attorneys general. The consequences of these regulatory actions have included one rating agency downgrading our long-term corporate debt, several rating agencies putting our servicer ratings on watch and Ginnie Mae sending us a notice of violation that included a forbearance on exercising rights that has been extended until January 24, 2018. Our business, operating results and financial condition have been significantly impacted in recent periods by legal and other fees and settlement payments related to litigation and regulatory matters, including the costs of third-party monitoring firms under our regulatory settlements. Should the number or scope of regulatory actions against us increase or expand or should reasonable resolutions not be reached, our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be adversely affected. See Note 7 – Mortgage Servicing, Note 11 – Borrowings, Note 19 – Regulatory Requirements and Note 21 – Contingencies for further information. 
With regard to the current maturities of our borrowings, as of September 30, 2017, we have approximately $1.0 billion of debt outstanding under facilities coming due in the next 12 months, including scheduled payments under our Senior Secured Term Loan (SSTL), certain notes under our servicing advance match funded facilities and our mortgage loan warehouse facilities. Portions of our match funded facilities and all of our mortgage loan warehouse facilities have 364-day terms consistent with market practice. We have historically renewed these facilities on or before their expiration in the ordinary course of financing our business. We expect to renew, replace or extend all such borrowings to the extent necessary to finance our business on or prior to their respective maturities consistent with our historical experience.
Our debt agreements contain various qualitative and quantitative events of default provisions that include, among other things, noncompliance with covenants, breach of representations, or the occurrence of a material adverse change. Provisions of this type are commonly found in debt agreements such as ours. Certain of these provisions are open to subjective interpretation and, if our interpretation were contested by a lender, a court may ultimately be required to determine compliance or lack thereof. If a lender were to allege an event of default, whether as a result of recent events or otherwise, and we are unable to avoid, remedy or secure a waiver, we could be subject to adverse action by our lenders, including acceleration of outstanding obligations, enforcement of liens against the assets securing or otherwise supporting our obligations and other legal remedies, any of which could have a material adverse impact on us. In addition, OLS, Homeward and Liberty are parties to seller/servicer agreements and/or subject to guidelines and regulations (collectively, seller/servicer obligations) with one or more of the GSEs, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), FHA, VA and Ginnie Mae. These seller/servicer obligations include financial requirements, including capital requirements related to tangible net worth, as defined by the applicable agency, as well as extensive requirements regarding servicing, selling and other matters. To the extent that these requirements are not met or waived, the applicable agency may, at its option, utilize a variety of remedies including requirements to deposit funds as security for our obligations, sanctions, suspension or even termination of approved seller/servicer status, which would prohibit future originations or securitizations of forward or reverse mortgage loans or servicing for the applicable agency. Any of these actions could have a material adverse impact on us. To date, none of these counterparties has communicated any material sanction, suspension or prohibition in connection with our seller/servicer obligations. See Note 11 – Borrowings and Note 19 – Regulatory Requirements for additional information.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to Form 10-Q and SEC Regulation S-X, Article 10, Rule 10-01 for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations and other data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2017. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those that relate to fair value measurements, the amortization of mortgage

10



servicing rights, income taxes, the provision for potential losses that may arise from litigation proceedings, representation and warranty and other indemnification obligations, and our going concern evaluation. In developing estimates and assumptions, management uses all available information; however, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Reclassifications
As a result of our adoption on January 1, 2017 of FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Accounting for Employee Share-Based Payments, excess tax benefits have been classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in our unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows, rather than being separated from other income tax cash flows and classified as a financing activity. Additionally, cash paid by Ocwen when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes has been classified as a financing activity in our unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows, rather than being classified as an operating activity.
Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as follows:
Within the operating activities section, we reclassified Net gain on valuation of mortgage loans held for investment and HMBS-related borrowings from Other to a new separate line item. In addition, we reclassified amounts related to reverse mortgages from Gain on loans held for sale, net to Other.
Within the financing activities section, we reclassified Proceeds from exercise of stock options to Other. In addition, we reclassified Repayments of HMBS-related borrowings from Repayments of mortgage loan warehouse facilities and other secured borrowings to a new separate line item.
These reclassifications had no impact on our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
Certain amounts in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as follows:
Within the total assets section, we reclassified Deferred tax assets, net to Other assets.
Within the total liabilities section, we reclassified HMBS-related borrowings from Financing liabilities to a new separate line item.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Shared-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09)
In addition to the reclassification matters discussed above, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits associated with employee share-based payments to be recognized through the income statement, regardless of whether the benefit reduces income taxes payable in the current period. Prior to our adoption of this standard, excess tax benefits were recognized in additional paid-in capital and were not recognized until the deduction reduced income taxes payable. Additionally, concurrent with our adoption of ASU 2016-09, we made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, rather than estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest, as we had done prior to our adoption of this standard. Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits in the income statement were adopted prospectively. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized and forfeitures were adopted using a modified retrospective transition method by means of cumulative-effect adjustments to equity as of January 1, 2017.
For the timing of the recognition of excess tax benefits, the cumulative-effect adjustment was to recognize an increase in retained earnings of $5.0 million and a deferred tax asset for the same amount. However, because we have determined that our U.S. and USVI deferred tax assets are not considered to be more likely than not realizable, we established an offsetting full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset through a reduction in retained earnings.
For the change in accounting for forfeitures, we recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment through a reduction of $0.3 million in retained earnings and an increase in additional paid-in capital for the same amount. We also recognized the tax effect of this adjustment through an increase in retained earnings of $0.1 million and a deferred tax asset for the same amount. However, we also fully reserved the resulting deferred tax asset as an offsetting reduction in retained earnings.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09)
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. Under this standard, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity should recognize revenue through the following five-step process:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

11



Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
ASU 2014-09 will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The guidance in this standard does not apply to financial instruments and other contractual rights or obligations within the scope of ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. We do not anticipate that our adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01)
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. This standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. We do not anticipate that our adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Receivables: Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (ASU 2017-08)
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. This standard shortens the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date, rather than generally amortizing the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument, as required by current GAAP. This standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. We do not anticipate that our adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Compensation: Stock Compensation (ASU 2017-09)
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice as well as cost and complexity when applying the modification accounting guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation -- Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. We do not anticipate that our adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12)
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better
portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements, and to make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. This standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early application permitted in any interim period. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this standard.
Note 2 – Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities
We securitize, sell and service forward and reverse residential mortgage loans and regularly transfer financial assets in connection with asset-backed financing arrangements. We have aggregated these securitizations and asset-backed financing arrangements into three groups: (1) securitizations of residential mortgage loans, (2) financings of advances on loans serviced for others and (3) financings of automotive dealer financing notes.
We have determined that the special purpose entities (SPEs) created in connection with our match funded advance financing facilities are variable interest entities (VIEs) for which we are the primary beneficiary.
Securitizations of Residential Mortgage Loans
We securitize forward and reverse residential mortgage loans involving the GSEs and Ginnie Mae and loans insured by the FHA or VA. We retain the right to service these loans and receive servicing fees based upon the securitized loan balances and certain ancillary fees, all of which are reported in Servicing and subservicing fees in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. We also sell newly originated forward and reverse residential mortgage loans to unaffiliated third parties with servicing rights released.
Transfers of Forward Loans
We sell or securitize forward loans that we originate or that we purchase from third parties, generally in the form of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the GSEs or Ginnie Mae. Securitization usually occurs within 30 days of loan closing or purchase. To the extent we retain the servicing rights associated with the transferred loans, we receive a servicing fee

12



for services provided. We act only as a fiduciary and do not have a variable interest in the securitization trusts. As a result, we account for these transactions as sales upon transfer.
We report the gain or loss on the transfer of the loans held for sale in Gain on loans held for sale, net in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations along with the changes in fair value of the loans and the gain or loss on any related derivatives. We include all changes in loans held for sale and related derivative balances in operating activities in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.

In connection with these transfers, we retained MSRs of $3.6 million and $18.6 million, and $9.8 million and $26.5 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Certain obligations arise from the agreements associated with our transfers of loans. Under these agreements, we may be obligated to repurchase the loans, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse the investor or insurer for losses incurred due to material breach of contractual representations and warranties.
The following table presents the carrying amounts of our assets that relate to our continuing involvement with forward loans that we have transferred with servicing rights retained as well as our maximum exposure to loss including the UPB of the transferred loans at the dates indicated:

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 7.7% and 7.6%, respectively, of the transferred residential loans that we service were 60 days or more past due.
Transfers of Reverse Mortgages
We are an approved issuer of Ginnie Mae Home Equity Conversion Mortgage-Backed Securities (HMBS) that are guaranteed by Ginnie Mae. We originate Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM, or reverse mortgages) that are insured by the FHA. We pool the loans into HMBS that we sell into the secondary market with servicing rights retained or we sell the loans to third parties with servicing rights released. We have determined that loan transfers in the HMBS program do not meet the definition of a participating interest because of the servicing requirements in the product that require the issuer/servicer to absorb some level of interest rate risk, cash flow timing risk and incidental credit risk. As a result, the transfers of the HECM loans do not qualify for sale accounting, and therefore, we account for these transfers as financings. Under this accounting treatment, the HECM loans are classified as Loans held for investment - Reverse mortgages, at fair value, on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets. We record the proceeds from the transfer of assets as secured borrowings (HMBS-related borrowings) in Financing liabilities and recognize no gain or loss on the transfer. Holders of participating interests in the HMBS have no recourse against the assets of Ocwen, except with respect to standard representations and warranties and our contractual obligation to service the HECM loans and the HMBS.
We measure the HECM loans and HMBS-related borrowings at fair value on a recurring basis. The changes in fair value of the HECM loans and HMBS-related borrowings are included in Other revenues in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Included in net fair value gains on the HECM loans and related HMBS borrowings are the interest income that we expect to be collected on the HECM loans and the interest expense that we expect to be paid on the HMBS-related borrowings.

13



We report originations and collections of HECM loans in investing activities in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. We report net fair value gains on HECM loans and the related HMBS borrowings as an adjustment to the net cash provided by or used in operating activities in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. Proceeds from securitizations of HECM loans and payments on HMBS-related borrowings are included in financing activities in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, HMBS-related borrowings of $4.4 billion and $3.4 billion were outstanding. Loans held for investment, at fair value were $4.5 billion and $3.6 billion at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Loans held for investment included $39.2 million and $81.3 million, respectively, of originated loans which had not yet been pledged as collateral. See Note 3 – Fair Value and Note 11 – Borrowings for additional information on HMBS-related borrowings and Loans held for investment - Reverse mortgages.
Financings of Advances on Loans Serviced for Others
Match funded advances on loans serviced for others result from our transfers of residential loan servicing advances to SPEs in exchange for cash. We consolidate these SPEs because we have determined that Ocwen is the primary beneficiary of the SPE. These SPEs issue debt supported by collections on the transferred advances, and we refer to this debt as Match funded liabilities.
We make the transfers to these SPEs under the terms of our advance financing facility agreements. We classify the transferred advances on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets as a component of Match funded assets and the related liabilities as Match funded liabilities. The SPEs use collections of the pledged advances to repay principal and interest and to pay the expenses of the SPE. Holders of the debt issued by these entities have recourse only to the assets of the SPE for satisfaction of the debt. The assets and liabilities of the advance financing SPEs are comprised solely of Match funded advances, Debt service accounts, Match funded liabilities and amounts due to affiliates. Amounts due to affiliates are eliminated in consolidation in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Financings of Automotive Dealer Financing Notes
Match funded automotive dealer financing notes result from our transfers of short-term, inventory-secured loans to car dealers to an SPE in exchange for cash. We consolidate this SPE because we have determined that Ocwen is the primary beneficiary of the SPE. The SPE issues debt supported by collections on the transferred loans.
We make the transfers to the SPE under the terms of our automotive capital asset receivables financing facility agreements. We classify the transferred loans on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets as a component of Match funded assets and the related liabilities as Match funded liabilities. The SPE uses collections of the pledged loans to repay principal and interest and to pay the expenses of the SPE. Holders of the debt issued by the SPE have recourse only to the assets of the SPE for satisfaction of the debt. The assets and liabilities of the automotive capital asset receivables financing SPE are comprised solely of Match funded automotive dealer financing notes, Debt service accounts, Match funded liabilities and amounts due to affiliates. Amounts due to affiliates are eliminated in consolidation in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Note 3 – Fair Value
Fair value is estimated based on a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels whereby the highest priority is given to Level 1 inputs and the lowest to Level 3 inputs.
Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2:
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
We classify assets in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(1)
Settlements for Loans held for investment - reverse mortgages consist chiefly of principal payments received, but also may include non-cash settlements of loans.
(2)
Total losses attributable to derivative financial instruments still held at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 were $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Total losses attributable to MSRs still held at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 were $78.4 million and $62.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The methodologies that we use and key assumptions that we make to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis and those disclosed, but not carried, at fair value are described below.
Loans Held for Sale
We originate and purchase residential mortgage loans that we intend to sell. We also own residential mortgage loans that are not eligible to be sold to the GSEs due to delinquency or other factors. Residential forward and reverse mortgage loans that we intend to sell are carried at fair value as a result of a fair value election. Such loans are subject to changes in fair value due to fluctuations in interest rates from the closing date through the date of the sale of the loan into the secondary market. These loans are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy because the primary component of the price is obtained from observable values of mortgage forwards for loans of similar terms and characteristics. We have the ability to access this market, and it is the market into which conventional and government-insured mortgage loans are typically sold.
We repurchase certain loans from Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations in connection with loan modifications and loan resolution activity as part of our contractual obligations as the servicer of the loans. These loans are classified as loans held for sale at the lower of cost or fair value, in the case of modified loans, as we expect to redeliver (sell) the loans to new Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations. The fair value of these loans is estimated using published forward Ginnie Mae prices. Loans repurchased in connection with loan resolution activities are modified or otherwise remediated through loss mitigation activities or are reclassified to receivables. Because these loans are insured or guaranteed by the FHA or VA, the fair value of these loans represents the net recovery value taking into consideration the insured or guaranteed claim.
For all other loans held for sale, which we report at the lower of cost or fair value, market illiquidity has reduced the availability of observable pricing data. When we enter into an agreement to sell a loan or pool of loans to an investor at a set price, we value the loan or loans at the commitment price. We base the fair value of uncommitted loans on the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk of the estimated cash flows.
Loans Held for Investment
We measure these loans at fair value. For transferred reverse mortgage loans that do not qualify as sales for accounting purposes, we base the fair value on the expected future cash flows discounted over the expected life of the loans at a rate commensurate with the risk of the estimated cash flows. Significant assumptions include expected prepayment and delinquency rates and cumulative loss curves. The discount rate assumption for these assets is primarily based on an assessment of current market yields on newly originated reverse mortgage loans, expected duration of the asset and current market interest rates.

Significant increases or decreases in any of these assumptions in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value, respectively. The effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the loans held for investment are largely offset by the effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the HMBS-related borrowings that are associated with these loans.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The significant components of the estimated future cash inflows for MSRs include servicing fees, late fees, float earnings and other ancillary fees. Significant cash outflows include the cost of servicing, the cost of financing servicing advances and compensating interest payments.
Third-party valuation experts generally utilize: (a) transactions involving instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles, adjusted as necessary based on specific characteristics of the asset or liability being valued; and/or (b) industry-standard modeling, such as a discounted cash flow model, in arriving at their estimate of fair value. The prices provided by the valuation experts reflect their observations and assumptions related to market activity, including risk premiums and liquidity adjustments. The models and related assumptions used by the valuation experts are owned and managed by them and, in many cases, the significant inputs used in the valuation techniques are not reasonably available to us. However, we have an understanding of the processes and assumptions used to develop the prices based on our ongoing due diligence, which includes regular discussions with the valuation experts. We believe that the procedures executed by the valuation experts, supported by our verification and analytical procedures, provide reasonable assurance that the prices used in our unaudited consolidated financial statements comply with the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures and reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use.
We evaluate the reasonableness of our third-party experts’ assumptions using historical experience adjusted for prevailing market conditions. Assumptions used in the valuation of MSRs include:
Mortgage prepayment speeds
Delinquency rates
Cost of servicing
Interest rate used for computing float earnings
Discount rate
Compensating interest expense
Interest rate used for computing the cost of financing servicing advances
Collection rate of other ancillary fees
Amortized Cost MSRs
We estimate the fair value of MSRs carried at amortized cost using a process that involves either actual sale prices obtained or the use of independent third-party valuation experts, supported by commercially available discounted cash flow models and analysis of current market data. To provide greater price transparency to investors, we disclose actual Ocwen sale prices for orderly transactions where available in lieu of third-party valuations.

We perform an impairment analysis based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value after grouping the underlying loans into the applicable strata. Our strata are defined as conventional and government-insured.
Fair Value MSRs
MSRs carried at fair value are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value is equal to the mid-point of the range of prices provided by third-party valuation experts, without adjustment, except in the event we have a potential or completed Ocwen sale, including transactions where we have executed letters of intent, in which case the fair value of the MSRs is disclosed at the estimated sale price. Fair value reflects actual Ocwen sale prices for orderly transactions where available in lieu of independent third-party valuations. Our valuation process includes discussions of bid pricing with the third-party valuation experts and presumably are contemplated along with other market-based transactions in their model validation.
A change in the valuation inputs utilized by the valuation experts might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in market interest rates tend to impact the fair value for Agency MSRs via prepayment speeds by altering the borrower refinance incentive and the non-Agency MSRs via a market rate indexed cost of advance funding. Other key assumptions used in the valuation of these MSRs include delinquency rates and discount rates.

Advances
We value advances at their net realizable value, which generally approximates fair value, because advances have no stated maturity, are generally realized within a relatively short period of time and do not bear interest.
Receivables
The carrying value of receivables generally approximates fair value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and realization.

Automotive Dealer Financing Notes
We estimate the fair value of our automotive dealer financing notes using unobservable inputs within an internally developed cash flow model. Key inputs included projected repayments, interest and fee receipts, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the notes within the portfolio. The projected cash flows are then discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk of the estimated cash flows to derive the fair value of the portfolio.

Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)
Our subordinate and residual securities are not actively traded, and therefore, we estimate the fair value of these securities based on the present value of expected future cash flows from the underlying mortgage pools. We use our best estimate of the key assumptions we believe are used by market participants. We calibrate our internally developed discounted cash flow models for trading activity when appropriate to do so in light of market liquidity levels. Key inputs include expected prepayment rates, delinquency and cumulative loss curves and discount rates commensurate with the risks. Where possible, we use observable inputs in the valuation of our securities. However, the subordinate and residual securities in which we have invested trade infrequently and therefore have few or no observable inputs and little price transparency. Additionally, during periods of market dislocation, the observability of inputs is further reduced. Changes in the fair value of our investment in subordinate and residual securities are recognized in Other, net in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Discount rates for the subordinate and residual securities are determined based upon an assessment of prevailing market conditions and prices for similar assets. We project the delinquency, loss and prepayment assumptions based on a comparison to actual historical performance curves adjusted for prevailing market conditions.
U.S. Treasury Notes
We base the fair value of U.S. Treasury notes on quoted prices in active markets to which we have access.
Match Funded Liabilities
For match funded liabilities that bear interest at a rate that is adjusted regularly based on a market index, the carrying value approximates fair value. For match funded liabilities that bear interest at a fixed rate, we determine fair value by discounting the future principal and interest repayments at a market rate commensurate with the risk of the estimated cash flows. We estimate principal repayments of match funded advance liabilities during the amortization period based on our historical advance collection rates and taking into consideration any plans to refinance the notes.
Financing Liabilities
HMBS-Related Borrowings
We have elected to measure these borrowings at fair value. We recognize the proceeds from the transfer of reverse mortgages as a secured borrowing that we account for at fair value. These borrowings are not actively traded, and therefore, quoted market prices are not available. We determine fair value by discounting the future principal and interest repayments over the estimated life of the borrowing at a market rate commensurate with the risk of the estimated cash flows. Significant assumptions include prepayments, discount rate and borrower mortality rates for reverse mortgages. The discount rate assumption for these liabilities is based on an assessment of current market yields for newly issued HMBS, expected duration and current market interest rates.

Significant increases or decreases in any of these assumptions in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value.
MSRs Pledged
We have elected to measure these borrowings at fair value. We recognize the proceeds received in connection with Rights to MSRs transactions as a secured borrowing that we account for at fair value. Fair value for the portion of the borrowing attributable to the MSRs underlying the Rights to MSRs is determined using the mid-point of the range of prices provided by third-party valuation experts. Fair value for the portion of the borrowing attributable to any lump sum payments received in connection with the transfer of MSRs underlying such Rights to MSRs to the extent such transfer is accounted for as a financing is determined by discounting the relevant future cash flows that were altered through such transfer using assumptions consistent with the mid-point of the range of prices provided by third-party valuation experts for the related MSR. Since we have elected fair value for our portfolio of non-Agency MSRs, future fair value changes in the Financing Liability - MSRs Pledged will be partially offset by changes in the fair value of the related MSRs. See Note 8 — Rights to MSRs for additional information.
The more significant assumptions used in determination of the prices of the underlying MSRs consisted of the following at the dates indicated:
 
September 30, 2017
 
December 31, 2016
Weighted average prepayment speed

Significant increases or decreases in these assumptions in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value.
Secured Notes
We issued Ocwen Asset Servicing Income Series (OASIS), Series 2014-1 Notes secured by Ocwen-owned MSRs relating to Freddie Mac mortgages. We accounted for this transaction as a financing. We determine the fair value based on bid prices provided by third parties involved in the issuance and placement of the notes.
Other Secured Borrowings
The carrying value of secured borrowings that bear interest at a rate that is adjusted regularly based on a market index approximates fair value. For other secured borrowings that bear interest at a fixed rate, we determine fair value by discounting the future principal and interest repayments at a market rate commensurate with the risk of the estimated cash flows. For the SSTL, we based the fair value on quoted prices in a market with limited trading activity.
Senior Notes
We base the fair value on quoted prices in a market with limited trading activity.

Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) represent an agreement to purchase loans from a third-party originator or an agreement to extend credit to a mortgage applicant (locked pipeline), whereby the interest rate is set prior to funding. IRLCs are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as the primary component of the price is obtained from observable values of mortgage forwards for loans of similar terms and characteristics. Fair value amounts of IRLCs are adjusted for expected “fallout” (locked pipeline loans not expected to close) using models that consider cumulative historical fallout rates and other factors.
We enter into forward MBS trades to provide an economic hedge against changes in the fair value of residential forward and reverse mortgage loans held for sale that we carry at fair value. Forward MBS trades are primarily used to fix the forward sales price that will be realized upon the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. Forward contracts are actively traded in the market and we obtain unadjusted market quotes for these derivatives, thus they are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
In addition, we may use interest rate caps to minimize future interest rate exposure on variable rate debt issued on servicing advance financing facilities from increases in 1ML interest rates. The fair value for interest rate caps is based on counterparty market prices and adjusted for counterparty credit risk.

During 2016, principally in the third quarter, we participated in HUD’s Aged Delinquent Portfolio Loan Sale (ADPLS) program, which accelerates FHA insurance claims for a population of significantly delinquent FHA loans. The expedited claim filing process allows a servicer to reduce significantly its standard claim losses on accepted loans by shortening the servicing timeline and related expenses, some of which are not reimbursed by FHA insurance. Our participation required that we recognize $23.1 million of life-to-date losses on the claims filed in the third quarter of 2016. This loss is reported in Servicing and origination expense in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Because the MSRs related to the loans that were assigned to HUD had negative carrying values, our recognition of the losses on the loans reduced the negative carrying value of the MSRs, thereby generating negative amortization expense for this population of MSRs. In the third quarter of 2016, this ADPLS-related negative amortization expense of $18.1 million exceeded the positive amortization expense on the remaining MSRs, generating net negative amortization for the quarter.

Impairment of MSRs is recognized in Servicing and origination expense in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 – Fair Value for additional information regarding impairment and the valuation allowance.

Because the mortgages underlying these MSRs permit the borrowers to prepay the loans, the value of the MSRs generally tends to diminish in periods of declining interest rates, an improving housing market or expanded product availability (as prepayments increase) and increase in periods of rising interest rates, a deteriorating housing market or reduced product availability (as prepayments decrease). The following table summarizes the estimated change in the value of the MSRs that we carry at fair value as of September 30, 2017 given hypothetical shifts in lifetime prepayments and yield assumptions:

The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes, which in the case of our portfolio at September 30, 2017 are increased prepayment speeds and a decrease in the yield assumption.

UPB of loans serviced for which the Rights to MSRs have been sold to NRZ, including those subserviced for which third-party consents have been received and the MSRs have been transferred to NRZ.
Residential assets serviced includes foreclosed real estate. Residential assets serviced also includes small-balance commercial assets with a UPB of $1.0 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Commercial assets consist of large-balance foreclosed real estate.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we sold MSRs with a UPB of $210.2 million and $3.6 billion, respectively.
A significant portion of the servicing agreements for our non-Agency servicing portfolio contain provisions where we could be terminated as servicer without compensation upon the failure of the serviced loans to meet certain portfolio delinquency or cumulative loss thresholds. As a result of the economic downturn beginning in 2007 - 2008, the portfolio delinquency and/or cumulative loss threshold provisions have been breached by many private-label securitizations in our non-Agency servicing portfolio. To date, terminations as servicer as a result of a breach of any of these provisions have been minimal.
From time to time, rating agencies will assign an outlook (or a ratings watch) to the rating status of a mortgage servicer. A negative outlook is generally used to indicate that a rating “may be lowered,” while a positive outlook is generally used to indicate a rating “may be raised.” S&P’s servicer ratings outlook for Ocwen is stable in general and its outlook for master servicing is positive. Fitch Ratings changed the servicer ratings Outlook to Negative from Stable on April 25, 2017. Moody’s

27


placed the servicer ratings on Watch for Downgrade on April 24, 2017. The Morningstar ratings were withdrawn on August 8, 2017 at the request of Ocwen. None of these three ratings has subsequently changed since these actions.
Certain of our servicing agreements require that we maintain specified servicer ratings from rating agencies such as Moody’s and S&P. Of 3,325 non-Agency servicing agreements, 712 with approximately $30.8 billion of UPB as of September 30, 2017 have minimum servicer ratings criteria. As a result of our current servicer ratings, termination rights have been triggered in 172 of these non-Agency servicing agreements. This represents approximately $9.7 billion in UPB as of September 30, 2017, or approximately 7% of our total non-Agency servicing portfolio.
Downgrades in servicer ratings could adversely affect our ability to finance servicing advances and maintain our status as an approved servicer by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The servicer rating requirements of Fannie Mae do not necessarily require or imply immediate action, as Fannie Mae has discretion with respect to whether we are in compliance with their requirements and what actions it deems appropriate under the circumstances in the event that we fall below their desired servicer ratings.

Float balances (balances in custodial accounts, which represent collections of principal and interest that we receive from borrowers) are held in escrow by an unaffiliated bank and are excluded from our unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Float balances amounted to $2.0 billion and $2.6 billion at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.
Note 8 — Rights to MSRs
In 2012 and 2013, we sold Rights to MSRs with respect to certain non-Agency MSRs and the related servicing advances to Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. (HLSS), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NRZ. We refer to the sale of Rights to MSRs and the related servicing advances as the NRZ/HLSS Transactions, and to the 2012 and 2013 agreements as the 2012 - 2013 Agreements. While certain underlying economics of the MSRs were transferred, legal title was retained by Ocwen, causing the Rights to MSRs transactions to be accounted for as secured financings. We continue to recognize the MSRs and related financing liability on our consolidated balance sheet as well as the full amount of servicing revenue and changes in the fair value of the MSRs and related financing liability in our consolidated statements of operations.
In April 2015, Ocwen agreed, as part of an amendment to the 2012 - 2013 Agreements, to sell all economic beneficial rights to the “clean-up call rights” to which we are entitled pursuant to servicing agreements that underlie the Rights to MSRs to NRZ for a payment upon exercise of 0.50% of the UPB of all performing mortgage loans (mortgage loans that are current or 30 days or less delinquent) associated with such clean-up call. Clean-up call rights generally allow a servicer or master servicer to purchase the remaining mortgage loans and REO out of a securitization, after the stated principal balance of such mortgage loans in the securitization falls below a specified percentage (generally equal to or lower than 10% of the original balance), for a price generally equal to the outstanding balance of such mortgage loans plus interest and certain other amounts. We received $0.8 million and $5.5 million and $1.3 million and $2.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, from NRZ in connection with such clean-up calls.
On July 23, 2017, we entered into a master agreement (Master Agreement), transfer agreement (Transfer Agreement) and subservicing agreement (Subservicing Agreement) (collectively, the 2017 Agreements) pursuant to which the parties agreed to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer of the MSRs underlying the Rights to MSRs to NRZ and under which Ocwen will subservice the MSRs for an initial term of five years (Initial Term). Upon obtaining the required third-party consents, and upon transfer of the MSRs, NRZ will pay a lump sum to us, with the amount determined in accordance with the Master

28



Agreement as of each transfer date. In the event third-party consents are not received by July 23, 2018, or earlier if mutually agreed, any non-transferred MSRs may (i) become subject to a new mortgage servicing rights agreement to be negotiated between Ocwen and NRZ, (ii) be acquired by Ocwen or, if Ocwen does not desire or is otherwise unable to purchase, sold to a third party in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement, or (iii) remain subject to the terms of the 2012 - 2013 Agreements.

Carried at fair value in accordance with fair value election.
(2)
Under ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, Ocwen is deemed to have had a significant modification and debt extinguishment in connection with the Rights to MSRs secured financing liability. Because the secured financing liability is accounted for at fair value, there was no gain or loss recognized in connection with this debt extinguishment. As permitted by ASC 825-10-25, Financial Instruments - Recognition - Fair Value Option, a significant modification of debt is an event that creates a fair value option election date.
(3)
The amount of the lump sum payment is based on a contractual schedule that approximates the net present value of the difference in cash flows under the 2017 Agreements versus the 2012 - 2013 Agreements, and was determined based on the weighted average characteristics, such as contractual servicing fee rates and delinquency, of the MSRs underlying the Rights to MSRs. The difference between the characteristics of the MSRs underlying the Rights to MSRs that are transferred in any period, relative to the weighted average loan characteristics used to determine the lump sum payment, will result in an increase (characteristics of transferred MSRs compare favorably to the weighted average) or decrease (characteristics of transferred MSRs compare unfavorably to the weighted average) in the fair value of the financing liability. The fair value of the portion of the financing liability recognized in connection with the September 1, 2017 transfer declined $37.6 million primarily due to the transferred MSRs having a contractual servicing fee rate of 33.4 bps as compared to the weighted average of 47.1 bps.
(4)
Represents the UPB and carrying value of MSRs in connection with clean-up call rights exercised by NRZ, for MSRs transferred to NRZ under the 2017 Agreements, or by Ocwen at NRZ’s direction, for MSRs underlying the 2012 - 2013 Agreements. Ocwen derecognizes the MSRs and the related financing liability upon collapse of the securitization. Income recognized in connection with clean-up calls is reported in other income in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
The 2017 Agreements obligate NRZ to a standstill through January 23, 2019, subject to limited exceptions, on exercising rights it may otherwise have under the 2012 - 2013 Agreements to replace Ocwen as servicer of certain MSRs in the event of a termination event with respect to an affected servicing agreement underlying the MSRs resulting from a servicer rating downgrade.
Under the terms of the Subservicing Agreement, in addition to a base servicing fee, Ocwen will continue to receive ancillary income, which primarily includes late fees, HAMP or other loan modification fees and Speedpay® fees. NRZ will

29



receive all float earnings and deferred servicing fees related to delinquent borrower payments, as well as be entitled to receive all REO-related income including REO referral commissions.
At any time during the Initial Term, NRZ may terminate the Subservicing Agreement for convenience, subject to Ocwen’s right to receive a termination fee and proper notice. Following the Initial Term, NRZ may extend the term of the Subservicing Agreement for additional three-month periods by providing proper notice. Following the Initial Term, the Subservicing Agreement can be cancelled by Ocwen on an annual basis. NRZ and Ocwen have the ability to terminate the Subservicing Agreement for cause if certain conditions specified in the Subservicing Agreement occur.
Under the 2012 - 2013 Agreements, the servicing fees payable under the servicing agreements underlying the Rights to MSRs are apportioned between NRZ and us. NRZ retains a fee based on the UPB of the loans serviced, and OLS receives certain fees, including a performance fee based on servicing fees actually paid less an amount calculated based on the amount of servicing advances and the cost of financing those advances.
Due to the length of the Initial Term of the Subservicing Agreement, this transaction does not qualify as a sale and is accounted for as a secured financing. As consents are received and MSRs transfer to NRZ, a new liability is recognized in an amount equal to the lump sum payment Ocwen receives in connection with such transfer. Due diligence and consent-related costs are recorded in Professional services expense as incurred. Changes in the fair value of the financing liability are recognized in Interest expense.
Interest expense related to financing liabilities recorded in connection with the NRZ Transactions is indicated in the table below.

In connection with the sale of Agency MSRs in 2015, we placed $52.9 million in escrow for the payment of representation, warranty and indemnification claims associated with the underlying loans. Prepaid expenses at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 includes the remaining balance of $20.2 million and $34.9 million, respectively.
Automotive dealer financing notes represent short-term inventory-secured floor plan loans – provided to independent used car dealerships through our Automotive Capital Services (ACS) venture – that have not been pledged to our automotive dealer loan financing facility. The balance of the notes of $8.6 million and $37.6 million are reported net of an allowance of $8.6 million and $4.4 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The amortization date of our facilities is the date on which the revolving period ends under each advance facility note and repayment of the outstanding balance must begin if the note is not renewed or extended. The maturity date is the date on which all outstanding balances must be repaid. In all of our advance facilities, there are multiple notes outstanding. For each note, after the amortization date, all collections that represent the repayment of advances pledged to the facility must be applied to reduce the balance of the note outstanding, and any new advances are ineligible to be financed.
(2)
Borrowing capacity is available to us provided that we have additional eligible collateral to pledge. Collateral may only be pledged to one facility. At September 30, 2017, $41.9 million of the available borrowing capacity of our advance financing notes could be used based on the amount of eligible collateral that had been pledged.

1ML was 1.23% and 0.77% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
(4)
On August 11, 2017, we increased the borrowing capacity of the Series 2014-VF4 and Series 2014-VF5 variable rate notes from $70.0 million to $105.0 million. In addition, we voluntarily terminated the Series 2014-VF3 note. There is a ceiling of 125 basis points (bps) for 1ML in determining the interest rate for these notes. Rates on the individual notes are based on 1ML plus a margin of 235 to 635 bps.
(5)
Under the terms of the agreement, we must continue to borrow the full amount of the Series 2016-T1 and Series 2016-T2 fixed-rate term notes until the amortization date. On September 15, 2017, we terminated the Series 2015-T3 note, and we entered into the Series

32



2017-T1 notes. If there is insufficient collateral to support the level of borrowing, the excess cash proceeds are not distributed to Ocwen but are held by the trustee, and interest expense continues to be based on the full amount of the notes. The Series 2016-T1 and Series 2016-T2 notes have a total borrowing capacity of $500.0 million. The Series 2017-T1 notes have a borrowing capacity of $250.0 million. Rates on the individual notes range from 2.4989% to 4.4456%.
(6)
The maximum borrowing capacity under this facility is $75.0 million. There is a ceiling of 75 bps for 1ML in determining the interest rate for these variable rate notes. Rates on the individual notes are based on the lender’s cost of funds plus a margin of 230 to 470 bps.
(7)
The combined borrowing capacity of the Series 2015-VF1 Notes was $160.0 million at December 31, 2016. Rates on the individual notes are based on 1ML plus a margin of 240 to 480 bps. On June 8, 2017, we negotiated a renewal of this facility through June 7, 2018. As part of this renewal, we reduced the combined borrowing capacity of the Series 2015-VF1 Notes to $110.0 million with interest computed based on the lender’s cost of funds plus a margin of 250 to 500 bps. There is a ceiling of 300 bps for 1ML in determining the interest rate for these variable rate notes.
(8)
We entered into the loan agreements for the Series 2017-1 Notes on February 24, 2017 and for the Series 2017-2 Notes on March 17, 2017. The committed borrowing capacity for each of the Series 2017-1 and Series 2017-2 variable rate notes is $50.0 million. From time to time, we may request increases in the aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of the facility to $200.0 million. Rates on the Series 2017-1 notes are based on 1ML plus a margin of 500 bps and rates on the Series 2017-2 notes are based on the lender’s cost of funds plus a margin of 500 bps.
Pursuant to the 2012 - 2013 Agreements, NRZ assumed the obligation to fund new servicing advances with respect to the MSRs underlying the Rights to MSRs in the NRZ/HLSS Transactions. We are dependent upon NRZ for funding the servicing advance obligations for Rights to MSRs where we are the servicer. NRZ currently uses advance financing facilities in order to fund a substantial portion of the servicing advances that they are contractually obligated to purchase pursuant to our agreements with them. As of September 30, 2017, we were the servicer on Rights to MSRs sold to NRZ pertaining to approximately $90.0 billion in UPB and the associated outstanding servicing advances as of such date were approximately $2.7 billion. Should NRZ’s advance financing facilities fail to perform as envisaged or should NRZ otherwise be unable to meet its advance funding obligations, our liquidity, financial condition and business could be materially and adversely affected. As the servicer, we are contractually required under our servicing agreements to make the relevant servicing advances even if NRZ does not perform its contractual obligations to fund those advances. On July 23, 2017, we entered into a series of new agreements with NRZ (the 2017 Agreements) that provide for the conversion of NRZ’s existing Rights to MSRs to fully-owned MSRs. See Note 8 — Rights to MSRs for additional information.
In addition, although we are not an obligor or guarantor under NRZ’s advance financing facilities, we are a party to certain of the facility documents as the servicer of the underlying loans on which advances are being financed. As the servicer, we make certain representations, warranties and covenants, including representations and warranties in connection with our sale of advances to NRZ.

This financing liability arose in connection with sales proceeds received in 2012 and 2013 as part of the Rights to MSRs transactions with NRZ/HLSS and has no contractual maturity or repayment schedule. The balance of the liability is adjusted each reporting period to its fair value based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows underlying the related MSRs.
(3)
This financing liability arose in connection with the lump sum payment received in September 2017 upon subsequently obtaining the required third-party consents and transfer of legal title of the MSRs related to the Rights to MSRs transactions with NRZ/HLSS in 2012 and 2013. We received a lump sum payment of $54.6 million as compensation for foregoing certain payments under the 2012 and 2013 agreements. This liability has no contractual maturity or repayment schedule. The balance of the liability is adjusted each reporting period to its fair value based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows. See Note 3 – Fair Value and Note 8 — Rights to MSRs for additional information.
(4)
OASIS noteholders are entitled to receive a monthly payment amount equal to the sum of: (a) the designated servicing fee amount (21 basis points of the UPB of the reference pool of Freddie Mac mortgages); (b) any termination payment amounts; (c) any excess refinance amounts; and (d) the note redemption amounts, each as defined in the indenture supplement for the notes. We accounted for this transaction as a financing. Monthly amortization of the liability is estimated using the proportion of monthly projected service fees on the underlying MSRs as a percentage of lifetime projected fees, adjusted for the term of the security.

For our mortgage loan warehouse facilities, available borrowing capacity does not consider the amount of the facility that the lender has extended on an uncommitted basis. Of the borrowing capacity extended on a committed basis, $29.3 million could be used at September 30, 2017 based on the amount of eligible collateral that had been pledged.
(2)
On December 5, 2016, we entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Agreement that established a new SSTL with a borrowing capacity of $335.0 million and a maturity date of December 5, 2020. We may request increases to the loan amount of up to $100.0 million in total, with additional increases subject to certain limitations. We are required to make quarterly payments on the SSTL in an amount of $4.2 million, the first of which was paid on March 31, 2017.

34



The borrowings under the SSTL are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Ocwen, OLS and the other guarantors thereunder, excluding among other things, 35% of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries, securitization assets and equity interests of securitization entities, assets securing permitted funding indebtedness and non-recourse indebtedness, REO assets, servicing agreements where an acknowledgment from the GSE has not been obtained, as well as other customary carve-outs.
Borrowings bear interest, at the election of Ocwen, at a rate per annum equal to either (a) the base rate (the greatest of (i) the prime rate in effect on such day, (ii) the federal funds rate in effect on such day plus 0.50% and (iii) the one-month Eurodollar rate (1ML)), plus a margin of 4.00% and subject to a base rate floor of 2.00% or (b) the one-month Eurodollar rate, plus a margin of 5.00% and subject to a one-month Eurodollar floor of 1.00%. To date, we have elected option (b) to determine the interest rate.
(3)
$87.5 million of the maximum borrowing amount of $137.5 million is available on a committed basis and the remainder is available at the discretion of the lender. Effective January 1, 2018, the committed amount shall be reduced to $50.0 million. We primarily use this facility to fund the repurchase of certain loans from Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations in connection with loan modifications and loan resolution activity as part of our contractual obligations as the servicer of the loans. On August 1, 2017, we entered into an amendment to lower the advance rates under this facility by 3%.
(4)
On August 1, 2017, we elected to voluntarily terminate these agreements.
(5)
Under these participation agreements, the lender provides financing for a combined total of $250.0 million at the discretion of the lender. The participation agreement allows the lender to acquire a 100% beneficial interest in the underlying mortgage loans. The transaction does not qualify for sale accounting treatment and is accounted for as a secured borrowing. The lender earns the stated interest rate of the underlying mortgage loans while the loans are financed under the participation agreement. On April 25, 2017, the term of these participation agreements was extended to April 30, 2018.
(6)
Under these participation agreements, the lender provides uncommitted reverse mortgage financing for a combined total of $110.0 million at the discretion of the lender. The participation agreement allows the lender to acquire a 100% beneficial interest in the underlying mortgage loans. The transaction does not qualify for sale accounting treatment and is accounted for as a secured borrowing. The lender earns the stated interest rate of the underlying mortgage loans while the loans are financed under the participation agreement. On October 27, 2017, we renewed one of the agreements through October 12, 2018 and increased the maximum borrowing capacity of the facility from $50.0 million to $100.0 million.
(7)
On August 18, 2017, we elected to voluntarily terminate the master repurchase agreement.

Senior Unsecured Notes
Ocwen may redeem all or a part of the remaining Senior Unsecured Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption price (expressed as percentages of principal amount) of 103.313% and 100.000% for the twelve-month periods beginning May 15, 2017 and 2018, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any.
Senior Secured Notes
The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by Ocwen, OMS, Homeward Residential Holdings, Inc., Homeward and ACS (the Guarantors). The Senior Secured Notes are secured by second priority liens on the assets and properties of OLS and the Guarantors that secure the first priority obligations under the SSTL, excluding certain MSRs.

35



At any time, OLS may redeem all or a part of the Senior Secured Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a specified redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Prior to November 15, 2018, the Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes redeemed, plus the applicable make whole premium (as defined in the indenture). On or after November 15, 2018, OLS may redeem all or a part of the Senior Secured Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) specified in the Indenture. The redemption prices during the twelve-month periods beginning on November 15 of each year are as follows:
Year
 
Redemption Price
2018
 
106.281%
2019
 
104.188%
2020
 
102.094%
2021 and thereafter
 
100.000%
At any time, on or prior to November 15, 2018, OLS may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings (as defined in the Indenture) to redeem up to 35.0% of the principal amount of all Senior Secured Notes issued at a redemption price equal to 108.375% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, provided that: (i) at least 65.0% of the principal amount of all Senior Secured Notes issued under the Indenture (including any additional Senior Secured Notes) remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption; and (ii) OLS makes such redemption not more than 120 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.
Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture), OLS is required to make an offer to the holders of the Senior Secured Notes to repurchase all or a portion of each holder’s Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
In connection with our issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, we incurred certain costs that we capitalized and are amortizing over the period from the date of issuance to November 15, 2022.
Credit Ratings
Credit ratings are intended to be an indicator of the creditworthiness of a particular company, security or obligation. On July 25, 2017, S&P affirmed our long-term corporate rating of “B-” and removed our ratings from CreditWatch with Negative implications. On July 26, 2017, Kroll Bond Rating Agency affirmed our corporate ratings at “CCC” and removed our ratings from Watch Downgrade status. On June 16, 2017, Moody’s downgraded our long-term corporate rating to “Caa1” from “B3.” On June 15, 2017, Fitch placed our ratings on Negative. It is possible that additional actions by credit rating agencies could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and funding position, including materially changing the terms on which we may be able to borrow money.
Covenants
Under the terms of our debt agreements, we are subject to various qualitative and quantitative covenants. Collectively, these covenants include:
Financial covenants;
Covenants to operate in material compliance with applicable laws;
Restrictions on our ability to engage in various activities, including but not limited to incurring additional debt, paying dividends of making distributions on or purchasing equity interests of Ocwen, repurchasing or redeeming capital stock or junior capital, repurchasing or redeeming subordinated debt prior to maturity, issuing preferred stock, selling or transferring assets or making loans or investments or acquisitions or other restricted payments, entering into mergers or consolidations or sales of all or substantially all of the assets of Ocwen and its subsidiaries, creating liens on assets to secure debt of OLS or any Guarantor, enter into transactions with an affiliate;
Monitoring and reporting of various specified transactions or events, including specific reporting on defined events affecting collateral underlying certain debt agreements; and
Requirements to provide audited financial statements within specified timeframes, including a requirement under our SSTL that Ocwen’s financial statements and the related audit report be unqualified as to going concern.
Many of the restrictive covenants arising from the indenture for the Senior Secured Notes will be suspended if the Senior Secured Notes achieve an investment-grade rating from both Moody’s and S&P and if no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing.
Financial covenants in our debt agreements require that we maintain, among other things:
a 40% loan to collateral value ratio, as defined under our SSTL, as of the last date of any fiscal quarter; and

36



specified levels of tangible net worth and liquidity at the consolidated and OLS levels.
As of September 30, 2017, the most restrictive consolidated tangible net worth requirements contained in our debt agreements were for a minimum of $1.1 billion at OLS under our match funded debt agreements and two repurchase agreements and $450.0 million at Ocwen under an automotive dealer loan financing facility.
As a result of the covenants to which we are subject, we may be limited in the manner in which we conduct our business and may be limited in our ability to engage in favorable business activities or raise additional capital to finance future operations or satisfy future liquidity needs. In addition, breaches or events that may result in a default under our debt agreements include, among other things, nonpayment of principal or interest, noncompliance with our covenants, breach of representations, the occurrence of a material adverse change, insolvency, bankruptcy, certain material judgments and changes of control.
Covenants and default provisions of this type are commonly found in debt agreements such as ours. Certain of these covenants and default provisions are open to subjective interpretation and, if our interpretation was contested by a lender, a court may ultimately be required to determine compliance or lack thereof. In addition, our debt agreements generally include cross default provisions such that a default under one agreement could trigger defaults under other agreements. If we fail to comply with our debt agreements and are unable to avoid, remedy or secure a waiver of any resulting default, we may be subject to adverse action by our lenders, including termination of further funding, acceleration of outstanding obligations, enforcement of liens against the assets securing or otherwise supporting our obligations and other legal remedies. Our lenders can waive their contractual rights in the event of a default.
We believe that we are in compliance with all of the qualitative and quantitative covenants in our debt agreements as of the date of these financial statements.

On September 15, 2017, the statute of limitation expired with respect to our remaining uncertain tax position for which a liability had previously been recorded. This liability was derecognized and recorded as an income tax benefit during the three months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 16 - Income Taxes for additional information.
Note 13 – Equity
As disclosed in Note 8 — Rights to MSRs, on July 23, 2017, Ocwen and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a series of agreements with NRZ related to NRZ’s Rights to MSRs. On the same date, Ocwen and NRZ entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Ocwen sold NRZ 6,075,510 shares of newly-issued Ocwen common stock for $13.9 million. Ocwen received the sales proceeds from NRZ on July 24, 2017 and issued the shares. The shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
Note 14 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Because many of our current derivative agreements are not exchange-traded, we are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the agreements. We manage counterparty credit risk by entering into financial instrument transactions through national exchanges, primary dealers or approved counterparties and the use of mutual

37



margining agreements whenever possible to limit potential exposure. We regularly evaluate the financial position and creditworthiness of our counterparties. The notional amount of our contracts does not represent our exposure to credit loss.
Interest Rate Risk
Match Funded Liabilities
As required by certain of our advance financing arrangements, we have purchased interest rate caps to minimize future interest rate exposure from increases in the interest on our variable rate debt as a result of increases in the index, such as 1ML, which is used in determining the interest rate on the debt. We currently do not hedge our fixed rate debt.
Loans Held for Sale, at Fair Value
Mortgage loans held for sale that we carry at fair value are subject to interest rate and price risk from the loan funding date until the date the loan is sold into the secondary market. Generally, the fair value of a loan will decline in value when interest rates increase and will rise in value when interest rates decrease. To mitigate this risk, we enter into forward MBS trades to provide an economic hedge against those changes in fair value on mortgage loans held for sale. Forward MBS trades are primarily used to fix the forward sales price that will be realized upon the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
A loan commitment binds us (subject to the loan approval process) to fund the loan at the specified rate, regardless of whether interest rates have changed between the commitment date and the loan funding date. As such, outstanding IRLCs are subject to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of the commitment through the loan funding date or expiration date. The borrower is not obligated to obtain the loan, thus we are subject to fallout risk related to IRLCs, which is realized if approved borrowers choose not to close on the loans within the terms of the IRLCs. Our interest rate exposure on these derivative loan commitments is hedged with freestanding derivatives such as forward contracts. We enter into forward contracts with respect to both fixed and variable rate loan commitments.

Note 16 - Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 15.7% and 3.7%, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $98.7 million and $196.2 million, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate and the income tax benefits recorded on the pre-tax losses is due primarily to the tax benefit recognized on the reversal of uncertain tax positions (including interest and penalties) due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to additional tax expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to uncertain tax positions, offset in part by a decrease in tax benefits resulting from our inability to carry back current losses that are being generated in the U.S. and USVI tax jurisdictions.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the total liability for uncertain tax positions is as follows for the nine months ended September 30:

As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had $0.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which if recognized would affect the effective tax rate. We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in our provision for income taxes. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

Our major jurisdiction tax years that remain subject to examination are our U.S. federal tax return for the years ended December 31, 2014 through the present, our USVI corporate tax return for the years ended December 31, 2014 through the present, and our India corporate tax returns for the years ended March 31, 2010 through the present. We currently do not have any tax returns under income tax examination in the U.S. or USVI tax jurisdictions.
Note 17 – Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share excludes common stock equivalents and is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to Ocwen common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted earnings or loss per share by dividing net income attributable to Ocwen by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including the potential dilutive common shares related to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we have excluded the effect of stock options and common stock awards from the computation of diluted loss per share because of the anti-dilutive effect of our reported net loss.
(2)
Stock options were anti-dilutive because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of Ocwen’s stock.
(3)
Shares that are issuable upon the achievement of certain market-based performance criteria related to Ocwen’s stock price.
Note 18 – Business Segment Reporting
Our business segments reflect the internal reporting that we use to evaluate operating performance of services and to assess the allocation of our resources. While our expense allocation methodology for the current period is consistent with that used in prior periods presented, during the first quarter of 2017, we moved certain functions which had been associated with corporate cost centers to our Lending and Servicing segments because these functions align more closely with those segments. As applicable, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. As a result of these changes, income before income taxes for the Lending segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased by $2.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively, while income before income taxes for the Servicing segment increased by the same amounts for the same periods.
A brief description of our current business segments is as follows:

40



Servicing. This segment is primarily comprised of our core residential servicing business. We provide residential and commercial mortgage loan servicing, special servicing and asset management services. We earn fees for providing these services to owners of the mortgage loans and foreclosed real estate. In most cases, we provide these services either because we purchased the MSRs from the owner of the mortgage, retained the MSRs on the sale of residential mortgage loans or because we entered into a subservicing or special servicing agreement with the entity that owns the MSR. Our residential servicing portfolio includes conventional, government-insured and non-Agency loans. Non-Agency loans include subprime loans, which represent residential loans that generally did not qualify under GSE guidelines or have subsequently become delinquent.
Lending. The Lending segment originates and purchases conventional and government-insured residential forward and reverse mortgage loans mainly through correspondent lending arrangements, broker relationships (wholesale) and directly with mortgage customers (retail). The loans are typically sold shortly after origination into a liquid market on a servicing retained (securitization) or servicing released (sale to a third party) basis. In the second quarter of 2017, we closed our correspondent forward lending channel due to low margins and began selling all of our wholesale forward lending channel originations on a servicing released basis to reduce capital consumption. In the third quarter of 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell certain of our wholesale forward lending assets, and, upon closing of that transaction, we intend to exit the wholesale forward lending business. We continue to acquire loans through the retail forward lending channel as well as through all three channels of reverse mortgage lending.
Corporate Items and Other. Corporate Items and Other includes revenues and expenses of ACS and CR Limited (CRL), our wholly-owned captive reinsurance subsidiary, and our other business activities that are individually insignificant, revenues and expenses that are not directly related to other reportable segments, interest income on short-term investments of cash, interest expense on corporate debt and certain corporate expenses. Our cash balances are included in Corporate Items and Other. ACS provides short-term inventory-secured loans to independent used car dealers to finance their inventory.
We allocate a portion of interest income to each business segment, including interest earned on cash balances and short-term investments. We also allocate expenses incurred by corporate support services to each business segment.
Financial information for our segments is as follows:

Note 19 – Regulatory Requirements
Our business is subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities, including the CFPB, HUD, the SEC and various state agencies that license, audit and conduct examinations of our servicing and lending activities. In addition, we operate under a number of regulatory settlements that subject us to ongoing monitoring or reporting. From time to time, we also receive requests (including requests in the form of subpoenas and civil investigative demands) from federal, state and local agencies for records, documents and information relating to our servicing and lending activities. The GSEs (and their conservator, the Federal Housing Finance Authority (FHFA)), Ginnie Mae, the United States Treasury Department, various investors, non-Agency securitization trustees and others also subject us to periodic reviews and audits.
In the current regulatory environment, we have faced and expect to continue to face heightened regulatory and public scrutiny as an organization as well as stricter and more comprehensive regulation of the entire mortgage sector. We continue to work diligently to assess and understand the implications of the regulatory environment in which we operate and to meet the requirements of the changing environment in which we operate. We devote substantial resources to regulatory compliance, while, at the same time, striving to meet the needs and expectations of our customers, clients and other stakeholders. Our failure to comply with applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and licensing requirements could lead to (i)

43



administrative fines and penalties and litigation, (ii) loss of our licenses and approvals to engage in our servicing and lending businesses, (iii) governmental investigations and enforcement actions (iv) civil and criminal liability, including class action lawsuits and actions to recover incentive and other payments made by governmental entities, (v) breaches of covenants and representations under our servicing, debt or other agreements, (vi) damage to our reputation, (vii) inability to raise capital or otherwise fund our operations and (viii) inability to execute on our business strategy. In addition to amounts paid to resolve regulatory matters, we could incur costs to comply with the terms of such resolutions, including the costs of third-party firms to monitor our compliance with such resolutions. We have recognized $177.5 million in such third-party monitoring costs from January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2017 in connection with the 2013 Ocwen National Mortgage Settlement, our 2014 settlement with the New York Department of Financial Services (NY DFS) and our 2015 settlement with the California Department of Business Oversight (CA DBO).
We must comply with a large number of federal, state and local consumer protection and other laws and regulations, including, among others, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Homeowners Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, as well as individual state licensing and foreclosure laws, individual state and local laws relating to registration of vacant or foreclosed properties, and federal and local bankruptcy rules. These laws and regulations apply to many facets of our business, including loan origination, default servicing and collections, use of credit reports, safeguarding of non-public personally identifiable information about our customers, foreclosure and claims handling, investment of, and interest payments on, escrow balances and escrow payment features and fees assessed on borrowers, and they mandate certain disclosures and notices to borrowers. These requirements can and do change as laws and regulations are enacted, promulgated, amended, interpreted and enforced, including through CFPB interpretive bulletins and other regulatory pronouncements. In addition, the actions of legislative bodies and regulatory agencies relating to a particular matter or business practice may or may not be coordinated or consistent. As a result, ensuring ongoing compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements can be challenging. The recent trend among federal, state and local legislative bodies and regulatory agencies has been toward increasing laws, regulations, investigative proceedings and enforcement actions with regard to residential real estate lenders and servicers.
Ocwen has various subsidiaries, including OLS, Homeward and Liberty, that are licensed to originate and/or service forward and reverse mortgage loans in those jurisdictions in which they operate and which require licensing. Our licensed entities are required to renew their licenses, typically on an annual basis, and to do so they must satisfy the license renewal requirements of each jurisdiction, which generally include financial requirements such as providing audited financial statements and satisfying minimum net worth requirements and non-financial requirements such as satisfactory completion of examinations relating to the licensee’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to satisfy any of the requirements to which our licensed entities are subject could result in a variety of regulatory actions ranging from a fine, a directive requiring a certain step to be taken, a suspension or, ultimately, a revocation of a license, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. The minimum net worth requirements to which our licensed entities are subject are unique to each state and type of license. We believe our licensed entities were in compliance with all of their minimum net worth requirements at September 30, 2017.
OLS, Homeward and Liberty are also subject to seller/servicer obligations under agreements with one or more of the GSEs, HUD, FHA, VA and Ginnie Mae. These seller/servicer obligations include financial requirements, including capital requirements related to tangible net worth, as defined by the applicable agency, as well as extensive requirements regarding servicing, selling and other matters. To the extent that these requirements are not met or waived, the applicable agency may, at its option, utilize a variety of remedies including requirements to deposit funds as security for our obligations, sanctions, suspension or even termination of approved seller/servicer status, which would prohibit future originations or securitizations of forward or reverse mortgage loans or servicing for the applicable agency. Any of these actions could have a material adverse impact on us. To date, none of these counterparties has communicated any material sanction, suspension or prohibition in connection with our seller/servicer obligations. We believe we were in compliance with the related net worth requirements at September 30, 2017. Our non-Agency servicing agreements also contain requirements regarding servicing practices and other matters, and a failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business. See Note 20 — Commitments for additional information relating to our recent interactions with Ginnie Mae as a result of the state regulatory actions discussed in that note.
The most restrictive of the various net worth requirements referenced above is based on the total assets of OLS, and the required net worth was $394.3 million at September 30, 2017.
There are a number of foreign laws and regulations that are applicable to our operations outside of the U.S., including laws and regulations that govern licensing, employment, safety, taxes and insurance and laws and regulations that govern the creation, continuation and the winding up of companies as well as the relationships between shareholders, our corporate entities, the public and the government in these countries. Non-compliance with these laws and regulations could result in

44



adverse actions against us, including (i) restrictions on our operations in these counties, (ii) fines, penalties or sanctions or (iii) reputational damage.
Note 20 — Commitments
Unfunded Lending Commitments
We have originated floating-rate reverse mortgage loans under which the borrowers have additional borrowing capacity of $1.4 billion at September 30, 2017. This additional borrowing capacity is available on a scheduled or unscheduled payment basis. We also had short-term commitments to lend $189.5 million and $17.3 million in connection with our forward and reverse mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments, respectively, outstanding at September 30, 2017. We finance originated and purchased forward and reverse mortgage loans with repurchase and participation agreements, commonly referred to as warehouse lines.
Long Term Contracts
Our business is currently dependent on many of the services and products provided by Altisource Portfolio Solutions, S.A. (Altisource) under long-term agreements, many of which include renewal provisions.
Each of Ocwen and OMS are parties to a Services Agreement, a Technology Products Services Agreement, an Intellectual Property Agreement and a Data Center and Disaster Recovery Services Agreement with Altisource. Under the Services Agreements, Altisource provides various business process outsourcing services, such as valuation services and property preservation and inspection services, among other things. Altisource provides certain technology products and support services under the Technology Products Services Agreements and the Data Center and Disaster Recovery Services Agreements. These agreements expire August 31, 2025. Ocwen and Altisource have also entered into a Master Services Agreement pursuant to which Altisource provides certain loan origination services to Homeward and Liberty, and a General Referral Fee agreement pursuant to which Ocwen receives referral fees which are paid out of the commission that would otherwise be paid to Altisource as the selling broker in connection with real estate sales services provided by Altisource.
Our servicing system runs on an information technology system that we license from Altisource pursuant to a statement of work under the Technology Products Services Agreements. If Altisource were to fail to fulfill its contractual obligations to us, including through a failure to provide services at the required level to maintain and support our systems, or if Altisource were to become unable to fulfill such obligations, our business and operations would suffer. In addition, if Altisource fails to develop and maintain its technology so as to provide us with a competitive platform, our business could suffer. We are currently in the process of transitioning to a new servicing system and have entered into agreements with certain subsidiaries of Black Knight, Inc. (Black Knight) pursuant to which we plan to transition to Black Knight’s LoanSphere MSP® (MSP) servicing system. Ocwen currently anticipates a twenty-four month implementation timeline for its transition onto the MSP servicing system. Based on substantive discussions with Altisource prior to entering into our agreements with Black Knight, Ocwen plans to negotiate mutually acceptable agreements that provide for Ocwen’s transition to the MSP servicing system and the termination of the statement of work for the use of the REALServicing system.
Certain services provided by Altisource under these agreements are charged to the borrower and/or mortgage loan investor. Accordingly, such services, while derived from our loan servicing portfolio, are not reported as expenses by Ocwen. These services include residential property valuation, residential property preservation and inspection services, title services and real estate sales-related services. Similar to other vendors, in the event that Altisource’s activities do not comply with the applicable servicing criteria, we could be exposed to liability as the servicer and it could negatively impact our relationships with our servicing clients, borrowers or regulators, among others.
Wholesale Forward Lending
We have decided to exit the forward lending wholesale business, and have agreed to sell certain assets related to this business. These assets consist primarily of furniture, fixtures and equipment located at our Westborough, Massachusetts facility and meet the requisite accounting criteria for classification as held-for-sale at September 30, 2017. The buyer is expected to assume a facilities lease and to offer positions to certain Ocwen employees in the business. We have recognized a loss of $6.8 million related to the divestiture in our third quarter 2017 results which is reported in Other expenses in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. This loss is primarily related to our write-off of the capitalized balance of software developed internally for the forward lending wholesale business. Additionally, we estimate that $1.0 million to $2.0 million of severance expense will be incurred. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the fourth quarter, subject to customary closing conditions.
Note 21 – Contingencies
When we become aware of a matter involving uncertainty for which we may incur a loss, we assess the likelihood of any loss. If a loss contingency is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an accrual for the loss.

45



In such cases, there may be an exposure to potential loss in excess of the amount accrued. Where a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we disclose an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of such reasonably possible loss is not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. If a reasonable estimate of loss cannot be made, we do not accrue for any loss or disclose any estimate of exposure to potential loss even if the potential loss could be material and adverse to our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. An assessment regarding the ultimate outcome of any such matter involves judgments about future events, actions and circumstances that are inherently uncertain. The actual outcome could differ materially. Where we have retained external legal counsel or other professional advisers, such advisers assist us in making such assessments.
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, we are a defendant in, or a party or potential party to, many threatened and pending legal proceedings, including proceedings brought by regulatory agencies (discussed further under “Regulatory” below), those brought on behalf of various classes of claimants, and those brought derivatively on behalf of Ocwen against certain current or former officers and directors or others.
The majority of these proceedings are based on alleged violations of federal, state and local laws and regulations governing our mortgage servicing and lending activities, including wrongful foreclosure and eviction actions, allegations of wrongdoing in connection with lender-placed insurance arrangements, claims relating to our pre-foreclosure property preservation activities, claims relating to our written and telephonic communications with our borrowers such as claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, claims related to our payment, escrow and other processing operations, claims relating to fees imposed on borrowers relating to payment processing, payment facilitation, or payment convenience, and claims regarding certifications of our legal compliance related to our participation in certain government programs. In some of these proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against us.
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of any threatened or pending legal proceedings, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, we generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of such proceedings will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution will be, or what the eventual loss, if any, will be. Any material adverse resolution could materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
Where we determine that a loss contingency is probable in connection with a pending or threatened legal proceeding and the amount of our loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an accrual for the loss. Excluding expenses of internal or external legal counsel, we have accrued $31.9 million as of September 30, 2017 for losses relating to threatened and pending litigation that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable based on current information regarding these matters. Where we determine that a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we disclose an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of such reasonably possible loss is not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that we will incur losses relating to threatened and pending litigation that materially exceed the amount accrued. We cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of reasonably possible losses above amounts that have been recorded at September 30, 2017.
We have previously disclosed several securities fraud class action lawsuits filed against Ocwen and certain of its officers and directors that contain allegations in connection with the restatements of our 2013 and first quarter 2014 financial statements and our December 2014 Consent Order with the NY DFS, among other matters. Those lawsuits have been consolidated and are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in the matter captioned In re Ocwen Financial Corporation Securities Litigation, 9:14-cv-81057-WPD (S.D. Fla.) (such consolidated lawsuit, the Securities Class Action).
In July 2017, following a mediated settlement process resulting in all parties' acceptance of the mediator's recommendation for settlement, we reached an agreement in principle to settle this matter. Subject to final approval by the court, the settlement will include an aggregate cash payment by Ocwen to the plaintiffs of $49.0 million (of which Ocwen expects to recover $14.0 million from insurance proceeds), and an issuance to the plaintiffs of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Ocwen's common stock. Under certain circumstances related to the price of Ocwen's common stock over the five trading days prior to court approval of the settlement, the amount of shares issuable could be increased so that the aggregate number of shares issued has a total value of $7.0 million. However, in no event will Ocwen be required to issue more than 4% of the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of the date of court approval. Further, in lieu of issuing shares, Ocwen may elect to pay the plaintiffs $7.0 million in cash. Attorneys' fees for the plaintiffs will be paid from the amounts described above.
We paid the $49.0 million cash portion of the settlement in July 2017 and have a remaining accrual of $7.0 million recorded as of September 30, 2017 in connection with this settlement. We cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of reasonably possible loss above such accrual. The $7.0 million is included within the $31.9 million litigation accrual referenced

46



above. Recoveries from insurance will reduce our aggregate exposure for this matter and have been recorded as a reduction of Professional services expense in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
While Ocwen believes that it has sound legal and factual defenses, Ocwen agreed to this settlement in principle in order to avoid the uncertain outcome of litigation and the additional expense and demands on the time of its senior management that a trial would involve. Following written submissions to the court, in August 2017, the presiding judge preliminarily approved the settlement. There can be no assurance that the settlement will be finally approved by the court. In the event the settlement is not finally approved, the litigation would continue and we would vigorously defend the allegations made against Ocwen. If our efforts to defend against such claims were not successful, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
In January 2016, Ocwen was named as a defendant in a separate “opt-out” securities fraud action brought on behalf of certain putative shareholders of Ocwen based on similar allegations to those contained in the securities fraud class action lawsuit described above. See Broadway Gate Master Fund, Ltd. et al. v. Ocwen Financial Corporation et al., 9:16-cv-80056-WPD (S.D. Fla.). Dispositive motions are pending in this lawsuit, and trial is set to commence on November 27, 2017. Additional lawsuits may be filed against us in relation to these matters. At this time, Ocwen is unable to predict the outcome of this existing “opt-out” lawsuit or any additional lawsuits that may be filed, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of such lawsuits or the potential impact such lawsuits may have on us or our operations. Ocwen and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend against such lawsuits. If our efforts to defend these lawsuits are not successful, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
As a result of the federal and state regulatory actions described below under “Regulatory”, and the impact on our stock price, several putative securities fraud class action lawsuits have been filed against Ocwen and certain of its officers that contain allegations in connection with Ocwen’s statements concerning its efforts to satisfy the evolving regulatory environment, and the resources it devoted to regulatory compliance, among other matters. Additional lawsuits may be filed against us in relation to these matters. At this time, Ocwen is unable to predict the outcome of these existing lawsuits or any additional lawsuits that may be filed, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of such lawsuits or the potential impact such lawsuits may have on us or our operations. Ocwen and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend against such lawsuits. If our efforts to defend these lawsuits are not successful, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Ocwen has been named in putative class actions and individual actions related to its compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Generally, plaintiffs in these actions allege that Ocwen knowingly and willfully violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by using an automated telephone dialing system to call class members’ cell phones without their consent. On July 28, 2017, Ocwen entered into an agreement in principle to resolve two such putative class actions, which have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. See Snyder v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, 1:14-cv-08461-MFK (N.D. Ill.); Beecroft v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, 1:16-cv-08677-MFK (N.D. Ill.). Subject to final approval by the court, the settlement will include the establishment of a settlement fund to be distributed to impacted borrowers that submit claims for settlement benefits pursuant to a claims administration process. Our accrual with respect to this matter is included in the $31.9 million litigation accrual referenced above. We cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of reasonably possible loss above the amount accrued.

At this time, Ocwen is unable to predict the outcome of these existing lawsuits or any additional lawsuits that may be filed, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of such lawsuits or the potential impact such lawsuits may have on us or our operations. Ocwen intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits. If our efforts to defend these lawsuits are not successful, our business, financial condition liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
On February 17, 2017, OFC, OLS and Homeward signed an agreement with two qui tam relators to settle previously disclosed litigation matters relating to claims under the False Claims Act (the Fisher Cases). The settlement agreement, which was subsequently approved by the United States, contained no admission of liability or wrongdoing by Ocwen and provided for the payment of $15.0 million to the United States and $15.0 million for the private citizens’ attorneys’ fees and costs. We paid the settlement amount in April 2017.
In several recent court actions, mortgage loan sellers against whom repurchase claims have been asserted based on alleged breaches of representations and warranties are defending on various grounds including the expiration of statutes of limitation, lack of notice and opportunity to cure, and vitiation of the obligation to repurchase as a result of foreclosure or charge-off of the

47



loan. We have entered into tolling agreements with respect to our role as servicer for a small number of securitizations relating to our performance under the servicing agreements for those securitizations and may enter into additional tolling agreements in the future. Other court actions have been filed against certain RMBS trustees alleging that the trustees breached their contractual and statutory duties by, among other things, failing to require the loan servicers to abide by the servicers’ obligations and failing to declare that certain alleged servicing events of default under the applicable contracts occurred.
Ocwen is a party in certain of these actions, is the servicer for certain securitizations involved in other such actions and is the servicer for other securitizations as to which actions have been threatened by certificate holders. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the lawsuits to which we have been named a party. Should Ocwen be made a party to other similar actions or should Ocwen be asked to indemnify any parties to such actions, we may need to defend ourselves against allegations that we failed to service loans in accordance with applicable agreements and that such failures prejudiced the rights of repurchase claimants against loan sellers or otherwise diminished the value of the trust collateral. At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these lawsuits or any potential impact they may have on us or our operations. If, however, we were required to compensate claimants for losses related to the alleged loan servicing breaches, then our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
In addition, a number of RMBS trustees have received notices of default alleging material failures by servicers to comply with applicable servicing agreements. Although Ocwen has not yet been sued by an RMBS trustee in response to a notice of default, there is a risk that Ocwen could be replaced as servicer as a result of said notices, that the trustees could take legal action on behalf of the trust certificateholders, or, under certain circumstances, that the RMBS investors who issue notices of default could seek to press their allegations against Ocwen, independent of the trustees. At present, one such group of affiliated RMBS investors sought to direct one trustee to bring suit against Ocwen. The trustee declined to bring suit, and the RMBS investors instead brought suit against Ocwen directly. The court dismissed the RMBS investors’ suit without prejudice on October 4, 2017, and the investors have subsequently filed an amended complaint. Ocwen intends to defend itself vigorously. We are unable at this time to predict what, if any, actions any trustee will take in response to a notice of default, nor can we predict at this time the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of any notices of default or the potential impact on our operations. If Ocwen were to be terminated as servicer, or other related legal actions were pursued against Ocwen, it could have an adverse effect on Ocwen’s business, financing activities, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulatory
We are subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, cease and desist orders, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information and other actions. Where we determine that a loss contingency is probable in connection with a regulatory matter and the amount of our loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an accrual for the loss. Where we determine that a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we disclose an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of such reasonably possible loss is not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that we will incur losses relating to regulatory matters that materially exceed any accrued amount. Predicting the outcome of any regulatory matter is inherently difficult and we generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of any regulatory matter or the eventual loss, if any, associated with the outcome.
CFPB
On April 20, 2017, the CFPB filed a lawsuit in the federal district court for the Southern District of Florida against Ocwen, OMS and OLS alleging violations of federal consumer financial laws relating to our servicing business dating back to 2014. The CFPB’s claims include allegations regarding (1) the adequacy of Ocwen’s servicing system and integrity of Ocwen’s mortgage servicing data, (2) Ocwen’s foreclosure practices and (3) various purported servicer errors with respect to borrower escrow accounts, hazard insurance policies, timely cancellation of private mortgage insurance, handling of customer complaints, and marketing of optional products. The CFPB alleges violations of unfair, deceptive acts or abusive practices, as well as violations of specific laws or regulations. The CFPB does not claim specific monetary damages, although it does seek consumer relief, disgorgement of allegedly improper gains, and civil money penalties. We believe we have factual and legal defenses to the CFPB’s allegations and are vigorously defending ourselves.
Prior to the CFPB instituting legal proceedings, we had been engaged with the CFPB in efforts to resolve the matter. We recorded $12.5 million as of December 31, 2016 as a result of these discussions. If we are successful in defending ourselves against the CFPB, it is possible that our losses could be less than $12.5 million. It is also possible that we could incur losses that materially exceed the amount accrued, and the resolution of the matters raised by the CFPB could have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. We cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of reasonably possible loss above amounts previously accrued.

State Licensing, State Attorneys General and Other Matters
Our licensed entities are required to renew their licenses, typically on an annual basis, and to do so they must satisfy the license renewal requirements of each jurisdiction, which generally include financial requirements such as providing audited financial statements or satisfying minimum net worth requirements and non-financial requirements such as satisfactorily completing examinations as to the licensee’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to satisfy any of the requirements to which our licensed entities are subject could result in a variety of regulatory actions ranging from a fine, a directive requiring a certain step to be taken, a suspension or, ultimately, a revocation of a license, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we receive information requests and other inquiries, both formal and informal in nature, from our state financial regulators as part of their general regulatory oversight of our servicing and lending businesses. We also regularly engage with state attorneys general and the CFPB and, on occasion, we engage with other federal agencies, including the Department of Justice and various inspectors general on various matters, including responding to information requests and other inquiries. Many of our regulatory engagements arise from a complaint that the entity is investigating, although some are formal investigations or proceedings. The GSEs (and their conservator, FHFA), HUD, FHA, VA, Ginnie Mae, the United States Treasury Department, and others also subject us to periodic reviews and audits. We have in the past resolved, and may in the future resolve, matters via consent orders or payment of monetary amounts to settle issues identified in connection with examinations or regulatory or other oversight activities, and such resolutions could have material and adverse effects on our business, reputation, operations, results of operations and financial condition.
On April 20, 2017 and shortly thereafter, mortgage and banking regulatory agencies from 30 states and the District of Columbia issued orders against OLS and certain other Ocwen companies that alleged deficiencies in our compliance with laws and regulations relating to our servicing and lending activities. In general, the orders were styled as “cease and desist orders,” and we use that term to refer to all of the orders for ease of reference; we also include the District of Columbia as a state when we reference states below for ease of reference. All of the cease and desist orders were applicable to OLS, but additional Ocwen entities were named in some orders, including Ocwen Financial Corporation, OMS, Homeward and Liberty. While each cease and desist order was different, the orders generally prohibited a range of actions, including (1) acquiring new MSRs (17 states), (2) originating or acquiring new mortgage loans, where we would be the servicer (13 states), (3) originating or acquiring new mortgage loans (4 states) and (4) conducting foreclosure activities (2 states), among others. In addition, in July 2017, and in connection with the cease and desist orders, we received a subpoena from one state seeking information relating to lender placed insurance activities, consumer complaints and certain other matters, with which we have cooperated. Following the issuance of the orders, we reached agreements with certain regulatory agencies to obtain delays in the enforcement of certain terms or exceptions to certain terms contained in the cease and desist orders. Additionally, we revised our operations based on the terms of the orders while we sought to negotiate resolutions.
We have entered into agreements with 19 states plus the District of Columbia to resolve these regulatory actions. These agreements generally contain the following key terms (the Multi-State Common Settlement Terms):
Ocwen will not acquire any new residential mortgage servicing rights until April 30, 2018.
Ocwen will develop a plan of action and milestones regarding its transition from the servicing system we currently use, REALServicing®, to an alternate servicing system and, with certain exceptions, will not board any new loans onto the REALServicing system.
In the event that Ocwen chooses to merge with or acquire an unaffiliated company or its assets in order to effectuate a transfer of loans from the REALServicing system, Ocwen must give the applicable regulatory agency prior notice to the signing of any final agreement and the opportunity to object. If no objection is received, the provisions of the first bullet point above shall not prohibit the transaction, or limit the transfer of loans from the REALServicing system onto the merged or acquired company’s alternate servicing system. In the event that an unaffiliated company merges with or acquires Ocwen or Ocwen’s assets, the provisions of the first bullet point above shall not prohibit the transaction, or limit the transfer of loans from the REALServicing system onto the merging or acquiring company’s alternate servicing system.
Ocwen will engage a third-party auditor to perform an analysis with respect to our compliance with certain federal and state laws relating to escrow by testing approximately 9,000 loan files relating to residential real property in various states, and Ocwen must develop corrective action plans for any errors that are identified by the third-party auditor.
Ocwen will develop and submit for review a plan to enhance our consumer complaint handling processes.
Ocwen will provide financial condition reporting on a confidential basis as part of each state’s supervisory framework through September 2020.
In addition to the terms described above, Ocwen has agreed with the Texas regulatory agency on certain additional communications with and for Texas borrowers, as well as certain review and reporting obligations. We also entered into an agreement to resolve the regulatory action brought by Tennessee on separate terms that addressed concerns generally related to financial reporting and two additional states have either withdrawn or allowed their respective cease and desist orders to expire.

49



As of November 1, 2017, the total number of jurisdictions where we have reached a resolution is 22.
These agreements are generally documented as consent orders or consent agreements that resolve the specific cease and desist or other order brought by the applicable regulatory agency and contain the specific terms agreed with each agency, which in certain instances include certain state specific reporting or other requirements. In all of the above-described agreements, Ocwen neither admitted nor denied liability. None of the agreements contain any monetary fines or penalties, although we will incur costs complying with the terms of these settlements, including in connection with the escrow analysis and transition to a new servicing system. In addition, in the event errors were to be uncovered during the escrow analysis, we could incur costs remedying such errors or other actions could be taken against by regulators or others.
We continue to seek timely resolutions with the remaining nine state regulatory agencies. If Ocwen is successful in reaching such resolutions, they may contain some or all of the Multi-State Common Settlement Terms and may also contain additional terms, including potentially monetary fines or penalties or additional restrictions on our business. There can be no assurance that Ocwen will be able to reach resolutions with the remaining regulatory agencies. It is possible that the outcome of the remaining regulatory actions, whether through negotiated settlements or other resolutions, could be materially adverse to our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. We cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of reasonably possible loss related to these matters.
Certain of the state regulators’ cease and desist orders reference a confidential supervisory memorandum of understanding (MOU) that we entered into with the Multistate Mortgage Committee (MMC), a multistate coalition of various mortgage banking regulators, and six states relating to a servicing examination from 2013 to 2015. The MOU contained various provisions relating to servicing practices and safety and soundness aspects of the regulatory review, as a step toward closing the 2013-2015 examination. There were no monetary or other penalties under the MOU. Ocwen responded to the MOU items, and continues to provide certain reports and other information pursuant to the MOU.
In April 2017, and concurrent with the issuance of the cease and desist orders and the filing of the CFPB lawsuit discussed above, two state attorneys general took actions against us relating to our servicing practices. The Florida Attorney General filed a lawsuit in the federal district court for the Southern District of Florida against Ocwen, OMS and OLS alleging violations of federal and state consumer financial laws relating to our servicing business. These claims are similar to the claims made by the CFPB. The Florida Attorney General’s lawsuit seeks injunctive and equitable relief, costs, and civil money penalties in excess of $10,000 per confirmed violation of the applicable statute. As previously disclosed, the Massachusetts Attorney General had sent us a civil investigative demand requesting information relating to various aspects of our servicing practices, including lender-placed insurance and property preservation fees. Subsequently, the Massachusetts Attorney General filed a lawsuit against OLS in the Superior Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts alleging violations of state consumer financial laws relating to our servicing business, including with respect to our activities relating to lender-placed insurance and property preservation fees. The Massachusetts Attorney General’s lawsuit seeks injunctive and equitable relief, costs, and civil money penalties of $5,000 per confirmed violation of the applicable statute. While we endeavor to negotiate appropriate resolutions in these two matters, we are vigorously defending ourselves, as we believe we have valid defenses to the claims made in both lawsuits. The outcome of these two lawsuits, whether through negotiated settlements, court rulings or otherwise, could potentially involve monetary fines or penalties or additional restrictions on our business and could be materially adverse to our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. We cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of reasonably possible loss related to these matters.
On occasion, we engage with agencies of the federal government on various matters. For example, OLS received a letter from the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, notifying OLS that the Department of Justice had initiated a general investigation into OLS’s policies and procedures to determine whether violations of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act by OLS might exist. The letter stated that at this point, the investigation is preliminary in nature and the Department of Justice has not made any determination as to whether OLS violated the act. In addition, Ocwen is one of three defendants in an administrative complaint pending with HUD brought by a non-profit organization alleging discrimination in the manner in which the company maintains REO properties in minority communities. We believe the allegations to be without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these allegations.
In April 2017, Ocwen received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General of HUD requesting the production of documentation related to lender-placed insurance arrangements with a mortgage insurer and the amounts paid for such insurance. We understand that other servicers in the industry have received similar subpoenas. In May 2016, Ocwen received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General of HUD requesting the production of documentation related to HECM loans originated by Liberty. We understand that other lenders in the industry have received similar subpoenas.
In July 2017, we received a letter from Ginnie Mae in which Ginnie Mae informed us that the state regulators’ cease and desist orders discussed above create a material change in Ocwen’s business status under Chapter 3 of the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide, and Ginnie Mae has accordingly declared an event of default under Guaranty Agreements between Ocwen and Ginnie Mae. In the letter, Ginnie Mae notified Ocwen that it will forbear from immediately exercising any rights relating to this matter

50



for a period of 90 days from the date of the letter. During such forbearance period, Ginnie Mae has asked Ocwen to provide certain information regarding the cease and desist orders and certain information regarding Ocwen’s business plan, financial results and operations. Ginnie Mae stated that it reserves the right to make additional requests of Ocwen and to restrict or terminate Ocwen’s participation in the Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities program. Based on our conversations with Ginnie Mae, we understand that Ginnie Mae views this as a violation with a prescribed remedy and that the purpose of the notice is to provide for a period of resolution. We have provided and intend to continue to provide information to Ginnie Mae as we seek to resolve its concerns, including with respect to our efforts to settle the state regulatory and operational matters outlined by Ginnie Mae. Ginnie Mae has indicated to us that resolution of the state regulators’ cease and desist orders would substantially address its concerns and that there may be other alternatives to address them as well. Based on our progress in resolving the matters raised by Ginnie Mae, Ginnie Mae has extended the forbearance period for an additional 90 days. We continue to operate as a Ginnie Mae issuer in all respects and continue to participate in Ginnie Mae issuing of mortgage-backed securities and home equity conversion loan pools in the ordinary course.
Adverse actions by Ginnie Mae could materially and adversely impact our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, including if Ginnie Mae were to terminate us as an issuer or servicer of Ginnie Mae securities or otherwise take action indicating that such a termination was planned. For example, such actions could make financing our business more difficult, including by making future financing more expensive or if a lender were to allege a default under our debt agreements, which could trigger cross-defaults under all of our other material debt agreements.
New York Department of Financial Services
In December 2014, we entered into a consent order (the 2014 NY Consent Order) with the NY DFS as a result of an investigation relating to Ocwen’s servicing of residential mortgages. The 2014 NY Consent Order contained monetary and non-monetary provisions including the appointment of a third-party operations monitor (NY Operations Monitor) to monitor various aspects of our operations and restrictions on our ability to acquire MSRs that effectively prohibit any such future acquisitions until we have satisfied certain specified conditions. We were also required to pay all reasonable and necessary costs of the NY Operations Monitor, and those costs were substantial.
On March 27, 2017, we entered into a consent order (the 2017 NY Consent Order) with the NY DFS that provided for (1) the termination of the engagement of the NY Operations Monitor on April 14, 2017, (2) a regulatory examination of our servicing business, following which the NY DFS would make a determination on whether the restrictions on our ability to acquire MSRs contained in the 2014 NY Consent Order should be eased and (3) certain reporting and other obligations, including in connection with matters identified in a final report by the NY Operations Monitor. In addition, the 2017 NY Consent Order provides that if the NY DFS concludes that we have materially failed to comply with our obligations under the order or otherwise finds that our servicing operations are materially deficient, the NY DFS may, among other things, and, in addition to its general authority to take regulatory action against us, require us to retain an independent consultant to review and issue recommendations on our servicing operations.
The NY Operations Monitor delivered its final report on April 14, 2017 when its engagement terminated. The final report contained certain recommended operational enhancements to which we have responded. Under the 2017 NY Consent Order, we are required to update the NY DFS quarterly on our implementation of the enhancements that we and the NY DFS agreed should be made. Our updates to date show that all agreed upon enhancements are being implemented.
California Department of Business Oversight
In January 2015, OLS entered into a consent order (the 2015 CA Consent Order) with the CA DBO relating to our failure to produce certain information and documents during a routine licensing examination. The order contained monetary and non-monetary provisions, including the appointment of an independent third-party auditor (the CA Auditor) to assess OLS’ compliance with laws and regulations impacting California borrowers and a prohibition on acquiring any additional MSRs for loans secured in California. We were also required to pay all reasonable and necessary costs of the CA Auditor, and those costs were substantial.
On February 17, 2017, OLS and two other subsidiaries, Ocwen Business Solutions, Inc. (OBS) and OFSPL, reached an agreement, in three consent orders (collectively, the 2017 CA Consent Order), with the CA DBO that terminated the 2015 CA Consent Order and resolved open matters between the CA DBO and OLS, OBS and OFSPL, including certain matters relating to OLS’ servicing practices and the licensed activities of OBS and OFSPL. The 2017 CA Consent Order does not involve any admission of wrongdoing by OLS, OBS or OFSPL. Additionally, we have certain reporting and other obligations under the 2017 CA Consent Order. We believe that we have completed those obligations of the 2017 CA Consent Order that have already come due, and we have so notified the CA DBO. If the CA DBO were to allege that we failed to comply with these obligations or otherwise were in breach of applicable laws, regulations or licensing requirements, it could take regulatory action against us.

51



Ocwen 2013 National Mortgage Settlement
In December 2013, we entered into a settlement with the CFPB and various state attorneys general and other state agencies that regulate the mortgage servicing industry relating to various allegations regarding deficient mortgage servicing practices (the Ocwen National Mortgage Settlement). The settlement contained monetary and non-monetary provisions, including quarterly testing on various metrics relating to servicing standards agreed under the Ocwen National Mortgage Settlement.
In September 2017, Ocwen reached an agreement in principle with the Monitoring Committee established under the Ocwen National Mortgage Settlement relating to a previously disclosed potential violation of one of the tested metrics during the first quarter of 2017. In order to resolve the matter and without agreeing with the Monitoring Committee’s allegations, Ocwen agreed to pay $1.0 million and to provide notices to certain borrowers with active lender placed insurance policies. On September 26, 2017, the court overseeing the Ocwen National Mortgage Settlement issued an order approving the agreement in principle. The parties reached this agreement in principle following the filing of the final report of the Office of Mortgage Settlement Oversight under the Ocwen National Mortgage Settlement. With this final report, the Office of Mortgage Settlement Oversight has concluded all monitoring and testing activities under the Ocwen National Mortgage Settlement.
Securities and Exchange Commission
In February 2015, we received a letter from the New York Regional Office of the SEC (the Staff) informing us that it was conducting an investigation relating to the use of collection agents by mortgage loan servicers. We believe that the February 2015 letter was also sent to other companies in the industry. On February 11, 2016, we received a letter from the Staff informing us that it was conducting an investigation relating to fees and expenses incurred in connection with liquidated loans and REO properties held in non-Agency RMBS trusts. We cooperated with the SEC in both of these matters and voluntarily produced documents and information. On October 2, 2017, we received confirmation from the Staff that it had concluded both investigations as they relate to Ocwen and, based on the Staff’s information as of such date, the Staff did not intend to recommend that any related enforcement action be taken against Ocwen.
To the extent that an examination, audit or other regulatory engagement results in an alleged failure by us to comply with applicable laws, regulations or licensing requirements, or if allegations are made that we have failed to comply with applicable laws, regulations or licensing requirements or the commitments we have made in connection with our regulatory settlements (whether such allegations are made through administrative actions such as cease and desist orders, through legal proceedings or otherwise) or if other regulatory actions of a similar or different nature are taken in the future against us, this could lead to (i) administrative fines and penalties and litigation, (ii) loss of our licenses and approvals to engage in our servicing and lending businesses, (iii) governmental investigations and enforcement actions, (iv) civil and criminal liability, including class action lawsuits and actions to recover incentive and other payments made by governmental entities, (v) breaches of covenants and representations under our servicing, debt or other agreements, (vi) damage to our reputation, (vii) inability to raise capital or otherwise fund our operations and (viii) inability to execute on our business strategy. Any of these occurrences could increase our operating expenses and reduce our revenues, hamper our ability to grow or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Loan Put-Back and Related Contingencies
Our contracts with purchasers of originated loans contain provisions that require indemnification or repurchase of the related loans under certain circumstances. While the language in the purchase contracts varies, they contain provisions that require us to indemnify purchasers of related loans or repurchase such loans if:
representations and warranties concerning loan quality, contents of the loan file or loan underwriting circumstances are inaccurate;
adequate mortgage insurance is not secured within a certain period after closing;
a mortgage insurance provider denies coverage; or
there is a failure to comply, at the individual loan level or otherwise, with regulatory requirements.
Additionally, in one of the servicing contracts that Homeward acquired in 2008 from Freddie Mac, Homeward assumed the origination representations and warranties even though it did not originate the loans.
We receive origination representations and warranties from our network of approved originators in connection with loans we purchase through our correspondent lending channel. To the extent that we have recourse against a third-party originator, we may recover part or all of any loss we incur.
We believe that, as a result of the current market environment, many purchasers of residential mortgage loans are particularly aware of the conditions under which originators must indemnify or repurchase loans and under which such purchasers would benefit from enforcing any indemnification rights and repurchase remedies they may have.
In our lending business, we have exposure to indemnification risks and repurchase requests. If home values were to decrease, our realized loan losses from loan repurchases and indemnifications may increase as well. As a result, our liability for

52



repurchases may increase beyond our current expectations. If we are required to indemnify or repurchase loans that we originate and sell, or where we have assumed this risk on loans that we service, as discussed above, in either case resulting in losses that exceed our related liability, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We have exposure to origination representation, warranty and indemnification obligations because of our lending, sales and securitization activities and in connection with our servicing practices. We initially recognize these obligations at fair value. Thereafter, the estimation of the liability considers probable future obligations based on industry data of loans of similar type segregated by year of origination, to the extent applicable, and estimated loss severity based on current loss rates for similar loans, our historical rescission rates and the current pipeline of unresolved demands. Our historical loss severity considers the historical loss experience that we incur upon sale or liquidation of a repurchased loan as well as current market conditions. We monitor the adequacy of the overall liability and make adjustments, as necessary, after consideration of other qualitative factors including ongoing dialogue and experience with our counterparties.
At September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, we had outstanding representation and warranty repurchase demands of $40.2 million UPB (213 loans) and $59.3 million UPB (272 loans), respectively. We review each demand and monitor through resolution, primarily through rescission, loan repurchase or make-whole payment.
The following table presents the changes in our liability for representation and warranty obligations, compensatory fees for foreclosures that may ultimately exceed investor timelines and similar indemnification obligations:

Includes principal and interest losses realized in connection with repurchased loans, make-whole, indemnification and fee payments and settlements, net of recoveries, if any.
We believe that it is reasonably possible that losses beyond amounts currently recorded for potential representation and warranty obligations and other claims described above could occur, and such losses could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, based on currently available information, we are unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses above amounts that have been recorded at September 30, 2017.
Other
OLS, on its own behalf and on behalf of various investors, has been engaged in a variety of activities to seek payments from mortgage insurers for unpaid claims, including claims where the mortgage insurers paid less than the full claim amount. Ocwen believes that many of the actions by mortgage insurers were in violation of the applicable insurance policies and insurance law. Ocwen is in the process of settlement discussions with certain mortgage insurers. In some cases, Ocwen has entered into tolling agreements, initiated arbitration or litigation, or taken other similar actions. While we expect the ultimate outcome to result in recovery of some unpaid mortgage insurance claims, we cannot quantify the likely amount at this time.
We have outstanding affirmative indemnification claims against parties from whom we have previously acquired MSRs.  Although we are pursuing these claims, we cannot currently estimate the amount, if any, of our recoveries, which could be material.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated)
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as other portions of this Form 10-Q, may contain certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “consider,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict” or “continue” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Our business has been undergoing substantial change, which has magnified such uncertainties. You should bear these factors in mind when considering such statements and should not place undue reliance on such statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by such statements. In the past, actual results have differed from those suggested by forward-looking statements, and this may happen again. You should consider all uncertainties and risks discussed or referenced in this report,

including those under “Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 1A, Risk Factors, as well as those discussed in our other reports and filings with the SEC, including those in Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and those in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K since such date.
OVERVIEW
We are a financial services company that services and originates loans. The majority of our revenues are generated from our servicing business, which is primarily comprised of our residential mortgage servicing business. As of September 30, 2017, our residential mortgage servicing portfolio consisted of 1,267,553 loans with a UPB of $187.5 billion. In our lending business, we primarily originate, purchase, sell and securitize conventional and government-insured forward mortgage loans and reverse mortgages. In the third quarter of 2017, our lending business originated or purchased forward and reverse mortgage loans with a UPB of $541.2 million and $227.8 million, respectively. We are currently exploring streamlining our focus and re-evaluating our long-term strategy with respect to certain forward and reverse lending activities, as described further below.
We are a leader in the servicing industry in foreclosure prevention and loss mitigation that helps families stay in their homes and improves financial outcomes for mortgage loan investors. Our leadership in the industry is evidenced by our high cure rate for delinquent loans and above average rate of continuing performance by homeowners whose loans we have modified. Overall, Ocwen has completed nearly 755,000 loan modifications from January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2017.
Asset sales, portfolio runoff and regulatory restrictions on acquisitions of MSRs have resulted in a 60% decline in our servicing portfolio as compared to December 31, 2013. As a result, our revenues have decreased significantly and, while some of our expenses have reduced significantly, we have not been able to reduce our overall expenses by a comparative amount, in part because we have made significant investments in our risk and compliance infrastructure during this period. In addition, continuing regulatory and legal matters have negatively impacted our results. We are continuing to seek operational efficiencies to manage our cost structure as our servicing portfolio continues to shrink. However, there are limits to our ability to reduce costs through operational adjustments. In addition, due to the expiration of the Federal Government’s HAMP loan modification program, our servicing revenues have been negatively impacted by lower HAMP fees, which have been a significant component of servicing revenue in prior periods. As well, we are continuing to make investments in our servicing technology. For example, we are currently in the process of transitioning to a new servicing system and we have begun migrating to a new document storage platform. While these investments will involve upfront costs, we believe these investments will be beneficial to our business in the long term. While we are currently restricted in our ability to acquire MSRs, we would, absent regulatory restrictions, consider acquiring servicing if we viewed the purchase price and other terms to be attractive and determined such acquisitions were an appropriate use of our available capital at such time. Generally, we would benefit from economies of scale if we were able to increase the size of our servicing portfolio, and acquiring servicing would allow us to counteract to an extent the negative impacts on our business from revenues declining faster than expenses.
During July 2017, we entered into agreements with NRZ to convert NRZ’s existing Rights to MSRs to fully-owned MSRs. In effect, the new arrangements provide for the conversion of the existing arrangements into a more traditional subservicing arrangement and involve upfront payments to Ocwen as MSRs transfer to NRZ over time. As MSRs transfer to NRZ (following receipt of the necessary third-party consents), NRZ will pay a lump sum to Ocwen upon each transfer of such MSRs in exchange for Ocwen foregoing payments under the 2012 - 2013 Agreements. The amount of these lump sum payments is based on the amortized value of the transferred MSRs and decreases over time. The first MSRs transferred effective September 1, 2017. Conceptually, these upfront payments are a proxy for the net present value of the difference between higher future fees for servicing the mortgage loans under the 2012 - 2013 Agreements and the lower fees for servicing the mortgage loans under the new Subservicing Agreement. If the necessary third-party consents are not obtained by July 23, 2018, our agreements with NRZ provide for certain alternative arrangements to be put in place or for the MSRs to remain subject to the terms of the 2012 - 2013 Agreements. NRZ also made an equity investment in Ocwen, acquiring 6,075,510 newly-issued common shares for $13.9 million.
As a general matter, we intend to continue to evaluate returns on our existing MSR portfolio, and we may decide to sell select portions of our portfolio or to enter into transactions similar to the 2012 - 2013 Agreements if we believe that such actions will benefit Ocwen versus holding the assets over a longer term.
As part of our cost structure and performance optimizing initiatives, we have begun exploring strategic approaches to streamline our business and leverage our competitive advantages. To that end, we are seeking to focus our operations on mortgage servicing and on our retail forward lending channel, primarily through retail lending recapture. While we believe that our reverse mortgage business has performed well, we are currently evaluating our long-term strategy with respect to our reverse lending activities, including the potential sale of the reverse lending business or certain assets of the business. In addition, as previously disclosed, we have taken various strategic actions with respect to our forward lending business, as we continue to evaluate the overall mortgage lending business and marketplace. For instance, earlier this year we closed our correspondent forward lending channel due to low margins and began selling all of our wholesale forward lending channel originations on a servicing released basis to reduce capital consumption. We have now entered into an agreement to sell certain

54



of our wholesale forward lending assets, and, upon closing of that transaction, we intend to exit the wholesale forward lending business. While these changes may limit our generation of new servicing assets in the near term, we believe that they will, over time, improve our returns and improve cash flow relative to current operations.
In addition, as previously disclosed, we have been evaluating our long-term strategy for our ACS business. While we still believe that this business has long-term potential, it is a relatively capital intensive business. As our ability to raise capital at competitive levels in the current business and regulatory environment is limited, we believe the ACS business may be worth more to a depository institution, an investment fund or an existing auto industry participant than it is to us. We are therefore considering the potential benefits of monetizing our investment in this business in the near term.
To the extent we generate cash proceeds from any sales of assets or businesses, we will, subject to the terms of our debt and other agreements, evaluate the best use of such cash which could include working capital, investments in new assets and reductions in debt to the extent permissible.
We have faced, and expect to continue to face, heightened regulatory and public scrutiny as well as stricter and more comprehensive regulation of our business. Since April 20, 2017, the CFPB, mortgage and banking regulatory agencies from 30 states and the District of Columbia and two state attorneys general have taken regulatory actions against us that alleged deficiencies in our compliance with laws and regulations relating to our servicing and lending activities. As of November 1, 2017, we have resolved these regulatory matters with 22 jurisdictions while continuing to seek resolutions with the remaining nine jurisdictions and the two state attorney generals. On an ongoing basis, we work diligently to assess the implications of the regulatory environment in which we operate and to meet the requirements of the current environment. We devote substantial resources to regulatory compliance and to addressing regulatory actions and engagements, while, at the same time, striving to meet the needs and expectations of our customers, clients and other stakeholders. Our business, operating results and financial condition have been significantly impacted in recent periods by legal and other fees and settlement payments related to litigation and regulatory matters, including the costs of third-party monitoring firms under our regulatory settlements. To the extent we are unable to avoid, mitigate or offset similar expenses in future periods, our business, operating results and financial condition will continue to be adversely affected, even if we are successful in our ongoing efforts to optimize our cost structure and improve our financial performance.
As discussed above, we have previously disclosed that we are in the process of transitioning to a new servicing system. We have entered into agreements with certain subsidiaries of Black Knight, Inc. (Black Knight) pursuant to which we plan to transition to Black Knight’s LoanSphere MSP® (MSP) servicing system. The MSP servicing system includes loan boarding, payment processing, escrow administration, and default management, among other functions. We also plan to use certain ancillary services offered by Black Knight. Ocwen currently anticipates a twenty-four month implementation timeline for its transition onto the MSP servicing system. Once loans are boarded onto the MSP servicing system, the agreements have an initial term of seven years. Black Knight has significant market share and a number of the largest mortgage servicers use the MSP servicing system.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation appearing in Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
Our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were favorably impacted by a $37.6 million reduction of interest expense recognized in connection with the fair value of the financing liability recognized in connection with the transfer of MSRs to NRZ under the 2017 Agreements and by a $23.6 million income tax benefit recognized upon the reversal of the liability for uncertain tax positions, including related accrued interest and penalties, due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation. We received a $54.6 million lump sum payment in connection with the transfer of $15.9 billion in MSRs to NRZ during the quarter. The amount of lump sum payment is based on a contractual schedule that approximates the net present value of the difference in cash flows under the 2017 Agreements versus the 2012-2013 Agreements, and was determined based on the weighted average characteristics, such as contractual servicing fee rates and delinquency, of the MSRs underlying the Rights to MSRs. The fair value of the portion of the financing liability recognized in connection with the transfer declined primarily due to the transferred MSRs having a contractual servicing fee rate of 33.4 bps as compared to the weighted average of 47.1 bps used in the contractual schedule. Changes in the fair value of the financing liability are recorded in interest expense. A decrease in the fair value of the financing liability reduces interest expense and increases in the fair value increase interest expense.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016
Servicing and subservicing fees for the third quarter of 2017 were $69.0 million, or 23%, lower than the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to portfolio runoff. Additionally, the number of completed modifications declined as a result of the expiration of the HAMP program on December 31, 2016. The average UPB and average number of assets in our residential portfolio declined 14% and 12%, respectively, as compared to the third quarter of 2016.
Expenses were $1.8 million, or 1%, higher in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016.

56



Monitor expenses, which are included in Professional services expense, decreased $13.5 million as compared to the third quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of reduced costs related to the CA Auditor, whose appointment was terminated in February 2017, and the NY Operations Monitor, whose appointment was terminated in April 2017.
MSR amortization and valuation adjustments (including both fair value adjustments and impairment charges), increased $33.3 million as compared to the third quarter of 2016, principally due to a $22.0 million increase in fair value losses and a $15.7 million increase in amortization. The increase in fair value loss primarily resulted from a $20.2 million benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2016 related to collateral performance improvements that increased the value of the MSRs. The increase in amortization expense primarily resulted from an $18.1 million benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2016 related to the sale of non-performing loans conveyed to HUD as part of the ADPLS program. During the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, we reversed impairment charges related to our government insured MSRs of $6.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
Excluding MSR amortization and valuation adjustments and monitor expenses, expenses were $18.0 million, or 7%, lower as compared to the third quarter of 2016. Professional services expense, excluding monitor expenses, was $13.5 million, or 27%, lower in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016 due to a $9.2 million decline in legal expenses. Professional services expense for the third quarter of 2017 includes $3.7 million of fees incurred in connection with converting NRZ’s Rights to MSRs to fully-owned MSRs. The third quarter of 2016 included $10.0 million recorded in connection with our discussions with the CA DBO that resulted in the termination of the 2015 CA Consent Order. Servicing and origination expense, excluding MSR valuation adjustments, decreased $8.7 million, or 14%, primarily due to a decrease in the loss provision related to Ginnie Mae claim receivables.
Compensation and benefits expense declined $2.4 million, or 3%, as average headcount declined by 15%, including an 11% reduction in U.S.-based headcount. The decline in headcount occurred principally in our Servicing business where headcount declined by 21%, including a 15% reduction in the U.S.
The $6.0 million, or 63%, increase in Other expenses is due to a $6.8 million charge to write-off the carrying value of internally-developed software used in our wholesale forward lending business in connection with our decision to exit that channel and sell the furniture, fixtures and equipment located at our Westborough, Massachusetts facility.
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2017 declined $63.7 million, or 57%, as compared to the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to a $58.7 million decline in interest expense on the NRZ financing liabilities due to a $37.6 million favorable adjustment to the fair value of the NRZ financing liability recognized in connection with the transfer of MSRs, as well as the decline in the average UPB of the NRZ servicing portfolio due to runoff. The favorable fair value adjustment was primarily driven by the characteristics of Rights to MSRs with a UPB of $15.9 billion that were converted to fully-owned MSRs during the quarter, relative to the $54.6 million lump sum payment received from NRZ. For the Rights to MSRs that were converted during the quarter, the characteristics of the underlying MSRs did not correspond to the weighted average loan characteristics used to determine the lump sum payment, resulting in a decline in the fair value of the financing liability primarily due to the transferred MSRs having a contractual servicing fee rate of 33.4 bps as compared to the weighted average of 47.1 bps used in the lump sum contractual schedule. As additional Rights to MSRs may transfer in the future, the recognition may include the reversal of any gain associated solely with such characteristics. Also, interest expense was lower on match funded liabilities consistent with the decline in servicing advances and the effect of higher amortization of facility costs in the third quarter of 2016.
Other, net for the third quarter of 2016 includes $12.8 million received in connection with the execution of clean-up call rights related to four small-balance commercial mortgage securitization trusts. We also recognized a $2.5 million loss on the sale of the commercial loans purchased as part of the transaction, which we reported in Gain on loans held for sale, net.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016
Servicing and subservicing fees declined $145.5 million, or 16%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016. This decline is primarily due to portfolio runoff and a reduction in the number of completed modifications. The average UPB and average number of assets in our residential portfolio declined 10% and 8%, respectively, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Gains on loans held for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $7.9 million, or 11%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Gains on loans held for sale from our lending operations increased $11.6 million, primarily as a result of higher origination volumes and margins in our reverse lending business.
Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $155.0 million, or 16%, lower than the same period of 2016.
Monitor expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $66.8 million lower than the same period last year, primarily as a result of the termination of the CA Auditor and NY Operations Monitor appointments in 2017. MSR amortization

57



and valuation adjustments decreased $3.9 million, or 3%, due to a $38.7 million decrease in impairment charges related to our government insured MSRs and the effects of portfolio runoff, offset by a $20.0 million increase in amortization and a $14.8 million increase in fair value losses. The higher impairment in 2016 reflects a significant decrease in interest rates, whereas rates have remained relatively flat in 2017. The increase in fair value loss is due to the $20.2 million benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2016 related to collateral performance improvements that increased the value of the MSRs. The increase in amortization expense resulted from a benefit recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to the sale of non-performing loans conveyed to HUD as part of the ADPLS program.
Excluding MSR amortization and valuation adjustments and monitor expenses, expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $84.2 million, or 11%, lower than the same period a year ago. Professional services expense, excluding monitor expenses, was $45.3 million, or 25%, lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016 due to a $39.7 million decline in legal expenses. We recorded $35.8 million of anticipated recoveries of litigation settlements in the second quarter of 2017 as an offset to legal expenses. Professional services expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes $5.0 million of fees in connection with converting NRZ’s Rights to MSRs to fully-owned MSRs. Servicing and origination expense, excluding MSR valuation adjustments, decreased $20.4 million, or 14%, primarily due to a decrease in the Ginnie Mae related loss provision and claim losses.
Compensation and benefits expense declined $14.9 million, or 5%, as average headcount declined by 12%, including a 9% reduction in U.S.-based headcount. The decline in headcount occurred principally in our Servicing business where headcount declined by 20%, including a 19% reduction in the U.S. Occupancy and equipment expense declined by $12.6 million, or 20%, largely because of the effect of the decline in the size of the servicing portfolio on various expenses, particularly postage and other delivery services, and the effect of consolidating facilities. Technology and communications expense declined by $6.0 million, or 7%, because of efforts to bring technology services in-house and the effects of a declining servicing portfolio on technology fees.
Other expenses increased by $14.9 million, or 61%, primarily due to the $6.8 million charge recognized in the third quarter of 2017 to write-off the carrying value of internally-developed software used in our wholesale forward lending business and a $4.0 million increase in provision for losses on automotive dealer financing notes. The loss provision recorded by the ACS business on its portfolio of automotive dealer financing notes was required principally because of the deterioration since December 31, 2016 in the credit quality of notes due from certain dealers. Due to the increase in the age of these notes, we have assumed that the notes due from these dealers are fully collateral-dependent, with no recoveries beyond estimated liquidation value of the remaining unsold inventory.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 declined $95.6 million, or 31%, as compared to the same period of the prior year due in large part to a $65.9 million reduction in interest expense on the NRZ financing liabilities driven by declines in the value of the NRZ financing liability, principally as a result of the decline in the average UPB of the NRZ servicing portfolio due to runoff and because of the $37.6 million reduction in fair value of the NRZ financing liability recognized in connection with the transfer of MSRs, as discussed above. In addition, interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included $10.5 million of additional payments to NRZ to compensate it for certain increased costs associated with an earlier downgrade of our S&P servicer rating. Lower interest expense on match funded liabilities is consistent with the decline in servicing advances and the effect of the higher amortization of facility costs in 2016.
Although the pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 declined by $97.5 million, or 50%, to $98.7 million, the income tax benefit actually increased $8.3 million, or 114%, to $15.5 million. This is primarily due to the income tax benefit recognized on the reversal of the remaining liability for uncertain tax positions at the expiration of the statute of limitations in September 2017. The change is also due to the mix of earnings among different tax jurisdictions with different statutory tax rates, which impacts the amount of the tax benefit or expense recorded. The overall effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 15.7%, compared to 3.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This rate change primarily resulted from the tax benefit recognized on the reversal of uncertain tax positions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to additional income tax expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to uncertain tax positions, offset in part by a decrease in tax benefits resulting from our inability to carry back current losses that are being generated in the U.S. and USVI tax jurisdictions.

Changes in the composition and balance of our assets and liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are principally attributable to Loans held for investment and Financing liabilities, which increased as a result of our reverse mortgage securitizations accounted for as secured financings. Match funded liabilities declined consistent with lower advances and match funded advances on a declining servicing portfolio. Total equity declined as a result of the net loss we incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our activities are organized into two reportable business segments that reflect our primary lines of business - Servicing and Lending - as well as a Corporate Items and Other segment. While our expense allocation methodology for the current period is consistent with that used in prior periods presented, during the first quarter of 2017, we moved certain functions which had been associated with corporate cost centers to our Lending and Servicing segments because these functions align more closely with those segments. As applicable, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. As a result of these changes, income before income taxes for the Lending segment decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 by $2.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively, while loss before income taxes for the Servicing segment decreased by the same amount for the same periods.

Servicing
We earn contractual monthly servicing fees pursuant to servicing agreements (which are typically payable as a percentage of UPB) as well as ancillary fees, including HAMP fees, float earnings, REO referral commissions, Speedpay® fees and late fees, in connection with owned MSRs. We also earn fees under both subservicing and special servicing arrangements with banks and other institutions that own the MSRs. We typically earn these fees either as a percentage of UPB or on a per loan basis. Per loan fees typically vary based on delinquency status.
Loan Resolutions
Because we recognize servicing fees as revenue when the fees are earned, loan resolution activities are important to our financial performance. We recognize delinquent servicing fees and late fees as revenue when we collect cash on resolved loans, where permitted. Loan resolution activities address the pipeline of delinquent loans and generally lead to (i) modification of the loan terms, (ii) repayment plan alternatives, (iii) a discounted payoff of the loan (e.g., a “short sale”) or (iv) foreclosure or deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure and sale of the resulting REO. Loan modifications must be made in accordance with the applicable servicing agreement as such agreements may require approvals or impose restrictions upon, or even forbid, loan modifications. To select the best loan modification option for a borrower, we perform a structured analysis, using a proprietary model, of all options using information provided by the borrower as well as external data, including recent broker price opinions to value the mortgaged property. Our proprietary model includes, among other things, an assessment of re-default risk.
Because a significant portion of our loan modifications in recent years have been in connection with the HAMP loan modification program, its expiration on December 31, 2016 has adversely affected our servicing revenue and the financial performance of our servicing segment. While our other modification programs do not include the incentive fee portion of revenue that is received with respect to successful HAMP modifications, we expect to continue to realize the other benefits associated with such resolutions, including the collection of delinquent servicing fees and lower costs of servicing the performing loan. We estimate the balance of deferred servicing fees related to delinquent borrower payments was $325.8 million and $380.2 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Deferred servicing fees attributable to the MSRs underlying NRZ’s Rights to MSRs were $270.7 million at September 30, 2017. We are contractually obligated to remit to NRZ all deferred servicing fees collected in connection with MSRs underlying Rights to MSRs. However, under our 2012 and 2013 agreements with NRZ, in addition to base servicing fees, we are entitled to performance fees that increase to the extent we collect deferred servicing fees. As such, the majority of the deferred servicing fees collected are recognized by us as additional revenue without a corresponding increase in interest expense related to the NRZ financing liability. On July 23, 2017, we executed on our previously announced agreement in principle with NRZ to convert NRZ’s existing Rights to MSRs to fully-owned MSRs. As MSRs transfer to NRZ under our July 2017 agreements, we will subservice the mortgage loans to which the MSRs relate and NRZ will receive all deferred service fees. We estimate the balance of deferred servicing fees for the $15.5 billion in UPB that has been converted to fully-owned MSRs to be $17.3 million as of September 30, 2017.
Advance Obligation
As a servicer, we are generally obliged to advance funds in the event borrowers are delinquent on their monthly mortgage related payments. We advance principal and interest (P&I Advances), taxes and insurance (T&I Advances) and legal fees, property valuation fees, property inspection fees, maintenance costs and preservation costs on properties that have been foreclosed (Corporate Advances). For loans in non-Agency securitization trusts, if we determine that our P&I Advances cannot be recovered from the projected future cash flows, we generally have the right to cease making P&I Advances, declare advances, where permitted including T&I and Corporate advances, in excess of net proceeds to be non-recoverable and, in most cases, immediately recover any such excess advances from the general collection accounts of the respective trust. With T&I and Corporate Advances, we continue to advance if net future cash flows exceed projected future advances without regard to advances already made.
Most of our advances have the highest reimbursement priority (i.e., they are “top of the waterfall”) so that we are entitled to repayment from respective loan or REO liquidation proceeds before any interest or principal is paid on the bonds that were issued by the trust. In the majority of cases, advances in excess of respective loan or REO liquidation proceeds may be recovered from pool-level proceeds. The costs incurred in meeting these obligations consist principally of the interest expense incurred in financing the servicing advances. Most, but not all, subservicing agreements provide for more rapid reimbursement of any advances from the owner of the servicing rights. NRZ effectively funds advances on loans for which we have sold the Rights to MSRs because NRZ is contractually required to reimburse us for the advances we make on those loans under our agreements with NRZ.
Third-Party Servicer Ratings
Similar to other servicers, we are the subject of mortgage servicer ratings or rankings (collectively, ratings) issued and revised from time to time by rating agencies including Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. Favorable ratings from these agencies are important to the conduct of our loan servicing and lending businesses.

In addition to servicer ratings, each of the rating agencies will from time to time assign an outlook (or a ratings watch such as Moody’s review status) to the rating status of a mortgage servicer. A negative outlook is generally used to indicate that a rating “may be lowered,” while a positive outlook is generally used to indicate a rating “may be raised.” S&P’s servicer ratings outlook for Ocwen is stable in general and its outlook for master servicing is positive. Fitch Ratings changed the servicer ratings Outlook to Negative from Stable on April 25, 2017. Moody’s placed the servicer ratings on Watch for Downgrade on April 24, 2017.
Failure to maintain minimum servicer ratings could adversely affect our ability to sell or fund servicing advances going forward, could affect the terms and availability of debt financing facilities that we may seek in the future, and could impair our ability to consummate future servicing transactions or adversely affect our dealings with lenders, other contractual counterparties, and regulators, including our ability to maintain our status as an approved servicer by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The servicer rating requirements of Fannie Mae do not necessarily require or imply immediate action, as Fannie Mae has discretion with respect to whether we are in compliance with their requirements and what actions it deems appropriate under the circumstances in the event that we fall below their desired servicer ratings. Under our July 2017 agreements with NRZ, NRZ has agreed to a standstill through January 23, 2019, subject to limited exceptions, on exercising rights it would otherwise have under the existing 2012 and 2013 agreements to replace Ocwen as servicer of certain MSRs in the event of a termination event with respect to an affected servicing agreement underlying the MSRs resulting from a servicer rating downgrade.

Performing loans include those loans that are current (less than 90 days past due) and those loans for which borrowers are making scheduled payments under loan modification, forbearance or bankruptcy plans. We consider all other loans to be non-performing.
(2)
Conventional loans include 144,461 and 174,299 prime loans with a UPB of $25.7 billion and $32.7 billion at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, that we service or subservice.
(3)
Loans serviced by Ocwen for which the Rights to MSRs have been sold to NRZ, including loans that have been converted to fully-owned MSRs. Under our 2012 - 2013 Agreements with NRZ, we remit servicing fees collected on the underlying MSRs, except for the ancillary fees (other than float earnings). The servicing fees that we remit, net of the subservicing and performance fees that we receive, are accounted for as a reduction of the NRZ financing liability and as interest expense. Changes in the fair value of the related financing liability are also included in the amount reported as interest expense.
(4)
The effective average interest rate on the financing liability that we recognized in connection with the sales of Rights to MSRs to NRZ is 12.79% and 59.15% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 33.58% and 49.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest expense on financing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included $10.5 million of fees incurred in connection with our agreement to compensate NRZ through June 2016 for certain increased costs associated with its servicing advance financing facilities that were the direct result of a downgrade of our S&P servicer rating in 2015.

On September 8, 2017, we completed the sale of non-Agency MSRs on portfolios consisting of 167 loans with a UPB of $46.6 million. We will continue to subservice these loans until the transfer is completed on November 1, 2017.
The key driver of our servicing segment operating results for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to 2016, was a 23% decline in total revenue as a result of the portfolio runoff and declines in completed modifications, coupled with an 8% increase in total expenses. The increase in expenses was primarily driven by increases in MSR amortization and fair value adjustments partially offset by reductions in headcount and legal expenses.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016
Servicing and subservicing fee revenue declined by $68.7 million, or 23%, as compared to the third quarter of 2016 driven by a 14% decline in the average UPB and a 12% decline in the average number of assets in our portfolio due to runoff.
Total completed modifications decreased 69% as compared to the third quarter of 2016. The portion of modifications completed under HAMP (including streamlined HAMP) as a percentage of total modifications decreased to 9% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to 63% for the third quarter of 2016 as a result of the expiration of the HAMP program on December 31, 2016. Borrowers who had requested assistance or to whom an offer of assistance had been extended as of that date had until September 30, 2017 to finalize their modification. Revenue recognized in connection with loan modifications totaled $14.5 million and $57.3 million during the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decline of 75%.
Expenses were $16.4 million, or 8%, higher as compared to the third quarter of 2016.
MSR amortization and valuation adjustments increased $33.4 million driven by an increase in both MSR fair value losses and amortization expense, offset in part by the reversal of impairment charges. The increase in fair value losses is primarily due to a $20.2 million benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2016 related to collateral performance improvements that increased the value of the MSRs as the underlying loans are more likely to make contractual payments on time and are, generally, less costly to service. The increase in MSR amortization expense primarily resulted from an $18.1 million benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2016 related to the sale of non-performing loans conveyed to HUD as part of the ADPLS program. We recognized the reversal of impairment charges of $6.2 million and $1.9 million on our government-insured MSRs during the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, reflecting changes in interest rates or other inputs and assumptions used in the valuation of such assets.
Servicing and origination expense, excluding the $17.6 million net increase in MSR valuation adjustments, declined $8.2 million, or 15% as compared to the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to a decrease in the loss provision related to Ginnie Mae claim receivables resulting from our participation in HUD’s ADPLS program.

66



Professional services expense declined $8.8 million, or 38%, largely due to a $7.6 million decline in legal expenses that was principally the result of expenses incurred in 2016 defending ourselves in proceedings alleging violations of federal, state and local laws and regulations governing our servicing activities. Professional services expense includes $3.7 million of fees incurred in the third quarter of 2017 in connection with our progress converting NRZ’s Rights to MSRs to fully-owned MSRs.
A 15% reduction in average U.S.-based headcount and the migration of certain operations offshore, where we believe we realize cost efficiencies while maintaining operational effectiveness, enabled a reduction in Compensation and benefits expense of $3.8 million, or 9%.
Technology and communication expense declined by $2.4 million, or 17%. Excluding technology allocations, costs charged through corporate overhead allocations (which are included in Other expense) increased $10.5 million.
Interest expense declined by $72.6 million, or 72%, in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to a $58.7 million decline in interest expense on the NRZ financing liabilities due to a favorable adjustment of $37.6 million to the fair value of the NRZ financing liability recognized in connection with the transfer of MSRs, as well as the decline in the average UPB of the NRZ servicing portfolio due to runoff. The favorable fair value adjustment was primarily driven by the characteristics of Rights to MSRs with a UPB of $15.9 billion that were converted to fully-owned MSRs during the quarter, relative to the $54.6 million lump sum payment received from NRZ. For the Rights to MSRs that were converted during the quarter, the characteristics of the underlying MSRs did not correspond to the weighted average loan characteristics used to determine the lump sum payment, resulting in a decline in the fair value of the financing liability primarily due to the transferred MSRs having a contractual servicing fee rate of 33.4 bps as compared to the weighted average of 47.1 bps used in the lump sum contractual schedule. As additional Rights to MSRs may transfer in the future, the recognition may include the reversal of any gain associated solely with such characteristics.
The December 2016 transfer of the SSTL from Servicing to Corporate Items and Other when we entered into an amended and restated SSTL facility agreement and lower match funded liabilities and related commitment fees also contributed to the decline in interest expense. The transfer of the SSTL reduced interest expense by $8.7 million, and interest on match funded liabilities decreased by $6.2 million. The decline in match funded liabilities was consistent with the decline in servicing advances on a servicing portfolio that is smaller but better performing.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016
Servicing and subservicing fee revenue declined $145.0 million, or 16%, as the average UPB and the average number of assets in our residential servicing and subservicing portfolio declined by 10% and 8%, respectively, due to portfolio runoff. Revenue recognized in connection with loan modifications declined to $78.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $155.6 million for the same period in 2016 consistent with the 37% decline in completed modifications.
Expenses were $96.9 million, or 13%, lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016.
Professional services expense declined $43.5 million, or 47%, largely due to a $41.9 million decline in legal expenses that was principally the result of expenses incurred in 2016 defending ourselves in proceedings alleging violations of federal, state and local laws and regulations governing our servicing activities, including the now-settled Fisher matter. Professional services expense includes $5.0 million of fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in connection with our progress converting NRZ’s Rights to MSRs to fully-owned MSRs.
Servicing and origination expense, excluding the $23.9 million net reduction in MSR valuation adjustments, decreased by $18.0 million, or 14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016. This decrease is primarily due to a decline in losses related to Ginnie Mae claims. Ginnie Mae claim losses in the second and third quarters of 2016 included the accelerated recognition of expenses related to our participating in HUD’s ADPLS and HUD Note Sale programs, which were largely offset by a benefit in amortization expense as discussed below.
The 19% reduction in average U.S. based headcount and the migration of certain operations offshore enabled a reduction in Compensation and benefits expense of $21.1 million, or 15%.
Occupancy and equipment expense declined $12.1 million, or 25%, largely because of the effect of the decline in the average number of assets in our servicing portfolio and various cost improvement initiatives with respect to certain expenses, principally the cost of postage and other delivery services.
Technology and communication expense declined by $7.5 million, or 17%. However, this decline was partly offset by an increase of $1.8 million in technology allocations. Excluding technology allocations, costs charged through corporate overhead allocations increased by $9.4 million.
MSR amortization and valuation adjustments decreased $3.9 million because of the effects of portfolio runoff and a decrease in impairment charges related to our government insured MSRs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we

67



reversed impairment charges of $1.6 million. This compares to the recognition of $37.2 million of impairment charges for the same period of 2016, reflecting that interest rates declined during the period (followed by a significant reversal in the fourth quarter of 2016). The decrease in impairment was largely offset by increases in MSR fair value losses and amortization expense. The increase in fair value losses is primarily due to a $20.2 million benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2016 related to collateral performance improvements that increased the value of the MSRs as the underlying loans are more likely to make contractual payments on time and are, generally, less costly to service. The increase in amortization expense resulted from a $24.8 million benefit recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to the sale of non-performing loans conveyed to HUD as part of the ADPLS program.
Interest expense declined by $119.0 million, or 43%, primarily due to a $65.9 million reduction in interest expense related to the NRZ financing liabilities because of the decline in the average UPB of the NRZ servicing portfolio due to runoff and because of the reduction in fair value of the NRZ financing liability recognized in connection with the transfer of MSRs, as discussed above. In addition, interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included $10.5 million of the compensatory fees paid to NRZ as a result of the earlier downgrade to our S&P servicer rating. The transfer of the SSTL from Servicing to Corporate Items and Other reduced interest expense by $25.8 million, while interest on match funded liabilities decreased by $17.6 million. The decline in match funded liabilities was consistent with the decline in servicing advances on our smaller but better performing servicing portfolio.
Lending
We have recently taken various strategic actions with respect to our forward lending business, as we continue to evaluate the overall mortgage lending business and marketplace. In the second quarter of 2017, we closed our forward lending correspondent channel due to low margins and began selling all of our forward lending wholesale channel originations on a servicing released basis to reduce capital consumption. In the third quarter of 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell certain assets of our forward lending wholesale business, and, upon closing of that transaction, we intend to exit the forward lending wholesale business. Consistent with our long-term strategy, we remain focused on increasing conversion rates (i.e., recapture) on our existing servicing portfolio through our forward lending retail channel. While these changes may limit our generation of new servicing assets in the near term, we believe that they will, over time, improve our returns and improve cash flow relative to current operations. We are also evaluating our long-term strategy with respect to our reverse lending activities, which could include the potential sale of this business or certain assets of the business.
We originate and purchase conventional and government-insured forward mortgage loans through our forward lending operations. Reverse mortgages are originated and purchased through our reverse lending operations under the guidelines of the HECM reverse mortgage insurance program of HUD. Loans originated under this program are guaranteed by the FHA, which provides investors with protection against risk of borrower default. We retain the servicing rights to reverse loans securitized through the Ginnie Mae HMBS program. We have originated HECM loans under which the borrowers have additional borrowing capacity of $1.4 billion at September 30, 2017. These draws are funded by the servicer and can be subsequently securitized or sold (Future Value). We do not incur any substantive underwriting, marketing or compensation costs in connection with any future draws, although we must maintain sufficient capital resources and available borrowing capacity to ensure that we are able to fund these Future Value draws. We recognize this Future Value over time as future draws are securitized or sold. At September 30, 2017, unrecognized Future Value is estimated to be $68.4 million. We use a third-party valuation expert to determine Future Value based on the net present value of the estimated future cash flows of the loans, utilizing a discount rate of 12% and projected performance assumptions in line with historical experience and industry benchmarks.
Historically, loans have been acquired through three primary channels: correspondent lender relationships, broker relationships (wholesale) and directly with mortgage customers (retail). Per-loan margins vary by channel, with correspondent typically being the lowest margin and retail the highest margin. We have exited the forward lending correspondent channel and intend to exit the forward lending wholesale channel upon the closing of our agreement to sell certain assets associated with this business.
After origination, we package and sell the loans in the secondary mortgage market, through GSE securitizations on a servicing retained basis and through whole loan transactions on a servicing released basis. Lending revenues include interest income earned for the period the loans are held by us, gain on sale revenue, which represents the difference between the origination value and the sale value of the loan, and fee income earned at origination.
We provide customary origination representations and warranties to investors in connection with our loan sales and securitization activities. We receive customary origination representations and warranties from our network of approved originators in connection with loans we purchase through our correspondent lending channel. We recognize the fair value of the liability for our representations and warranties at the time of sale. In the event we cannot remedy a breach of a representation or warranty, we may be required to repurchase the loan or provide an indemnification payment to the mortgage loan investor. To the extent that we have recourse against a third-party originator, we may recover part or all of any loss we incur.

The key drivers of the results of our lending segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, were our decisions to exit the forward lending correspondent channel and to sell certain assets of our forward lending wholesale origination business. Increases in reverse loan originations were more than offset by substantial declines in forward loan originations principally as a result of a strategic decision to focus on the retail channel that is expected to produce stronger economic returns. Gains on loans held for sale increased principally because of increased origination volume and higher margins in reverse lending. The declines in other revenues are principally the result of changes in fair value of reverse loans and the related financing liabilities. Average headcount increased for both the third quarter and year to date periods as we expanded our reverse originations and brought certain functions in house. A headcount reduction has been undertaken in forward lending to align capacity with volume levels.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016
Total revenue increased by $1.2 million or 4% in third quarter of 2017 while total loan production decreased by $660.5 million, or 46%. Other revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 14%, in the third quarter of 2017 primarily as a result of a $0.6 million decrease in the excess of changes in the fair value of our HECM loans held for investment over changes in the fair value of the HMBS financing liability and a decline in fees due to lower forward loan originations. The $2.8 million, or 15% increase in Gains on loans held for sale, net is due to higher margin rates and origination volume in our reverse lending business which includes the impact of a shift in mix from the correspondent channel to the higher yielding wholesale channel. Gains in the forward lending business decreased due to lower volume and margin rates in the correspondent and wholesale channels, which was substantially offset by higher volume and higher margin rates in the retail channel.
Total expenses increased $8.4 million, or 28%, in the third quarter of 2017. Other expense, which increased by $8.6 million, or 238%, includes a charge of $6.8 million to write-off the carrying value of internally-developed Loan Operating System (LOS) software used in our wholesale forward lending business. In addition, advertising expense increased by $1.4 million. Professional services expense increased by $0.7 million, or 180%, largely due to higher legal and consulting fees. Total average headcount increased 7% over the third quarter of 2016 due to increased offshore hiring in the forward lending business. In spite of this increase, Compensation and benefits expense decreased $0.9 million, or 5%, as commissions declined on lower forward lending origination volume. Direct acquisition costs, a component of Gain on loans held for sale, net, are offset by origination fee income that is included in Other revenue.
Interest income, which consists primarily of interest earned on newly originated and purchased loans prior to sale to investors, has declined consistent with lower origination volume in our forward lending business. Interest income is offset by interest expense incurred to finance the mortgage loans. We finance originated and purchased forward and reverse mortgage loans with repurchase and participation agreements, commonly referred to as warehouse lines. Interest expense increased $0.8

70



million, or 22%, in the third quarter of 2017 due primarily to accelerated fee amortization on warehouse lines no longer utilized.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016
Total revenue increased by $6.2 million or 7% in spite of the $871.1 million, or 23%, decline in total loan production. Gains on loans held for sale, net increased $11.6 million, or 21%, largely due to higher origination volume and improved margin rates in our reverse lending business. This improvement in reverse lending was partially offset by a decline in the forward channel gains due to lower margin rates in all channels and lower volume in the correspondent and wholesale channels, which was partially offset by an increase in retail volume. Other revenue decreased $5.4 million, or 16%, primarily as a result of a $3.7 million decrease in the excess of changes in the fair value of our HECM loans held for investment over changes in the fair value of the HMBS financing liability and a decline in fees due to lower forward loan originations and lower fees in the reverse channel due to market conditions.
Total expenses increased $15.2 million, or 18%. Compensation and benefits expense increased $3.0 million, or 5%, as average headcount increased by 23% as compared to the prior year. Offshore hiring accounted for 68% of the increase in average headcount. The $10.4 million, or 96%, increase in Other expenses was driven primarily by the $6.8 million write-off of the LOS software used in our wholesale forward lending business, as disclosed above, and a $3.5 million increase in the provision for indemnification obligations due to a reversal of the liability in 2016.
Corporate Items and Other
Corporate Items and Other includes revenues and expenses of ACS, CRL and our other business activities that are currently individually insignificant, revenues and expenses that are not directly related to other reportable segments, interest income on short-term investments of cash, interest expense on corporate debt and certain corporate expenses. Our cash balances are included in Corporate Items and Other.
ACS provides short-term inventory-secured loans to independent used car dealers to finance their inventory. In addition, Ocwen formed CRL, our wholly-owned captive reinsurance subsidiary, and entered into a quota share re-insurance agreement effective in 2016 with a third-party insurer related to coverage on foreclosed real estate properties owned or serviced by us. As noted in “Overview” above, we are considering the potential benefits of monetizing our investment in the ACS business in the near term.
Expenses incurred by corporate support services are allocated to the Servicing and Lending segments.

The key driver of the results of our corporate items and other segment for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, were declines in total expenses before allocations, principally because of decreases in regulatory monitoring costs and in legal fees and settlements expense. Offsetting these items was an increase in interest expense as a result of the transfer of the SSTL from the servicing segment at the beginning of 2017 after we entered into an amended and restated SSTL facility agreement in December 2016. We also exchanged $346.9 million of 6.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019 for a like amount of 8.375% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2022, which also occurred in December 2016.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016
Revenue is primarily comprised of premiums generated by CRL of $5.5 million and $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The $13.0 million, or 15%, decrease in expenses before allocations is primarily due to a $19.0 million, or 45%, decline in Professional services expense offset in part by a $4.5 million, or 42%, increase in Technology and communications expense. The decrease in Professional services expense resulted from a $13.5 million decrease in regulatory monitoring costs and a $2.1 million decrease in legal fees and settlements. The decrease in regulatory monitoring costs reflects the termination of the CA Auditor and NY Operations Monitor engagements in 2017. Legal expenses for the third quarter of 2016 included $10.0 million recorded in connection with our discussions with the CA DBO that resulted in the termination of the 2015 CA Consent Order. The increase in Technology and communications expense is primarily due to the write-off of capitalized costs related to two projects, costs incurred in connection with a telecommunication migration and expanded use of a servicing billing automation platform.
Interest expense in the third quarter of 2017 increased by $8.1 million, or 131%, primarily as a result of our transfer of the SSTL from the Servicing segment to the Corporate Items and Other segment when we entered into an amended and restated SSTL facility agreement in December 2016. In December 2016, we also exchanged $346.9 million of 6.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019 for a like amount of 8.375% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2022.

72



During the three months ended September 30, 2017, CRL recognized $1.0 million in additional reserves in connection with estimated losses due to weather events in Texas and Florida.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016
The $62.6 million, or 19%, decrease in expenses before allocations is primarily due to a $69.7 million, or 42%, decline in Professional services expense, which resulted from a $66.8 million decrease in regulatory monitoring costs. The regulatory monitoring costs decrease reflects the termination of the CA Auditor and NY Operations Monitor engagements in 2017.
Additionally, Servicing and origination expense declined by $4.5 million, or 54%, primarily due to a decrease in reinsurance commissions incurred by CRL, which were $3.5 million and $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $6.1 million, or 44%, primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in the provision for losses on ACS automotive dealer financing notes principally as a result of the deterioration in credit quality of notes due from certain dealers. Due to the increase in the age of these notes, as of March 31, 2017 we have assumed that the notes due from these dealers are fully collateral-dependent, with no recoveries beyond estimated liquidation value of the remaining unsold inventory.
Interest expense increased by $23.0 million, or 125%, primarily as a result of our transfer of the SSTL from the servicing segment to the corporate items and other segment and the exchange of our Senior Unsecured Notes for our Senior Secured Notes, both of which occurred in December 2016 as discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
At September 30, 2017, our cash position was $299.9 million compared to $256.5 million at December 31, 2016. We invest cash that is in excess of our immediate operating needs primarily in money market deposit accounts. Our main priorities for deployment of excess cash are: (1) supporting our core servicing and lending businesses and investing in these core assets, (2) reducing revolving lines of credit in order to reduce interest expense, (3) reducing corporate leverage and (4) expanding into similar or complementary businesses that meet our return on capital requirements.
Sources of Funds
Our primary sources of funds for near-term liquidity are:
Collections of servicing fees and ancillary revenues;
Proceeds from match funded advance financing facilities;
Proceeds from other borrowings, including warehouse facilities; and
Proceeds from sales of originated loans and repurchased loans.
We also expect to receive substantial amounts from NRZ as MSRs transfer to NRZ under our July 2017 agreements with NRZ.
Servicing advances are an important component of our business and represent amounts that we, as servicer, are required to advance to, or on behalf of, our servicing clients if we do not receive such amounts from borrowers. Our ability to finance servicing advances is a significant factor that affects our liquidity. Our use of advance financing facilities is integral to our servicing advance financing strategy. Revolving variable funding notes issued by our advance financing facilities to large global financial institutions generally have a 364-day revolving period. Term notes are generally issued to institutional investors with one-, two- or three-year maturities. The revolving periods for our variable funding notes with a total borrowing capacity of $75.0 million end in 2017.
Borrowings under our advance financing facilities are incurred by special purpose entities (SPEs) that we consolidate because we have determined that Ocwen is the primary beneficiary of the SPE. We transfer the financed advances to the SPEs, and the SPEs issue debt supported by collections on the transferred advances. Holders of the debt issued by the SPEs have recourse only to the assets of the SPEs for satisfaction of the debt. In connection with our sale of servicing advances to these advance financing SPEs and to NRZ in connection with the Rights to MSRs, we make certain representations, warranties and covenants primarily related to the nature of the transferred advance receivables, our financial condition and our servicing practices.
Advances and match funded advances comprised 17% of total assets at September 30, 2017. Our borrowings under our advance financing facilities are secured by pledges of servicing advances that are sold to the related SPE and by cash held in debt service accounts.
The available borrowing capacity under our advance financing facilities since December 31, 2016 has decreased by $130.9 million from $274.0 million at December 31, 2016 to $143.1 million at September 30, 2017 because we reduced the maximum borrowing capacity by $410.0 million based on our anticipated future usage. Our ability to continue to pledge collateral under

73



our advance financing facilities depends on the performance of the advances, among other factors. At September 30, 2017, $41.9 million of the available borrowing capacity could be used based on the amount of eligible collateral that had been pledged.
We use mortgage loan warehouse facilities to fund newly originated loans on a short-term basis until they are sold to secondary market investors, including GSEs or other third-party investors. These warehouse facilities are structured as repurchase or participation agreements under which ownership of the loans is temporarily transferred to the lender. The loans are transferred at a discount, or haircut, which serves as the primary credit enhancement for the lender. Currently, our master repurchase and participation agreements generally have maximum terms of 364-days. The funds are typically repaid using the proceeds from the sale of the loans to the secondary market investors, usually within 30 days. At September 30, 2017, we had total borrowing capacity under our warehouse facilities of $497.5 million. Of the borrowing capacity extended on a committed basis, $45.5 million was available at September 30, 2017, and $29.3 million of the available borrowing capacity could be used based on the amount of eligible collateral that had been pledged. Uncommitted amounts ($220.7 million available at September 30, 2017) are advanced solely at the discretion of the lender, and there can be no assurance that any uncommitted amounts will be available to us at any particular time.
We also rely on the secondary mortgage market as a source of long-term capital to support our lending operations. Substantially all of the mortgage loans that we originate or purchase are sold or securitized in the secondary mortgage market in the form of residential mortgage backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and, in the case of mortgage backed securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, are mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the FHA or VA.
Our debt agreements contain various qualitative and quantitative covenants including financial covenants, covenants to operate in material compliance with applicable laws, monitoring and reporting obligations and restrictions on our ability to engage in various activities, including but not limited to incurring additional debt, paying dividends, repurchasing or redeeming capital stock, transferring assets or making loans, investments or acquisitions. As a result of the covenants to which we are subject, we may be limited in the manner in which we conduct our business and may be limited in our ability to engage in favorable business activities or raise additional capital to finance future operations or satisfy future liquidity needs. In addition, breaches or events that may result in a default under our debt agreements include, among other things, nonpayment of principal or interest, noncompliance with our covenants, breach of representations, the occurrence of a material adverse change, insolvency, bankruptcy, certain material judgments and litigation and changes of control.
Covenants and default provisions of this type are commonly found in debt agreements such as ours. Certain of these covenants and default provisions are open to subjective interpretation and, if our interpretation were contested by a lender, a court may ultimately be required to determine compliance or lack thereof. In addition, our debt agreements generally include cross default provisions such that a default under one agreement could trigger defaults under other agreements. If we fail to comply with our debt agreements and are unable to avoid, remedy or secure a waiver of any resulting default, we may be subject to adverse action by our lenders, including termination of further funding, acceleration of outstanding obligations, enforcement of liens against the assets securing or otherwise supporting our obligations, and other legal remedies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. We believe that we are in compliance with the qualitative and quantitative covenants in our debt agreements as of the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.
Use of Funds
Our primary uses of funds are:
Payments for advances in excess of collections on existing servicing portfolios;
Payment of interest and operating costs;
Funding of originated and repurchased loans;
Repayments of borrowings, including match funded liabilities and warehouse facilities; and
Working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Outlook
We closely monitor our liquidity position and ongoing funding requirements, and we regularly monitor and project cash flow by period to mitigate liquidity risk.
In assessing our liquidity outlook, our primary focus is on six measures:
Business financial projections for revenues, costs and net income;
Requirements for maturing liabilities compared to amounts generated from maturing assets and operating cash flow;
Any projected future sales of MSRs, interests in MSRs or other assets and any reimbursement of servicing advances that may be related to any such sales;

74



The change in advances and match funded advances compared to the change in match funded liabilities and available borrowing capacity;
Projected future originations and purchases of forward and reverse mortgage loans and automobile dealer floor plan loans; and
Projected funding requirements of new business initiatives.
We have considered the impact of financial projections on our liquidity analysis and have evaluated the appropriateness of the key assumptions in our forecast such as revenues, expenses, our assessment of the likely impact of recent regulatory actions, recurring and nonrecurring costs and sales of MSRs and other assets. We have analyzed our cash requirements and financial obligations. Based upon these evaluations and analyses, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations and fund our operations for the next twelve months.
We are required to maintain certain minimum levels of cash under our debt agreements and in the ordinary course of business, and portions of our cash balances are held in our non-U.S. subsidiaries. We would have to repatriate the cash held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries, potentially with tax consequences and in compliance with applicable laws, should we wish to utilize that cash in the U.S.
The revolving periods of our advance financing facilities end during 2017 for variable funding notes with a total borrowing capacity of $75.0 million and $51.9 million of outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2017. In the event we are unable to renew, replace or extend the revolving period of one or more of these advance financing facilities, monthly amortization of the outstanding balance must generally begin at the end of the respective 364-day revolving period.
Similarly, our master repurchase and participation agreements for financing new loan originations generally have 364-day terms. At September 30, 2017, we had $47.5 million outstanding under these financing arrangements that mature in 2017.
Despite the heightened regulatory and public scrutiny we have faced, including regulatory actions and settlements, we continue to access both the private and public debt markets to fund our business operations and believe we will be able to renew, replace or extend our debt agreements to the extent necessary to finance our business before or as they become due, consistent with our historical experience. We are actively engaged with our lenders and as a result, have successfully completed the following with respect to our financing needs:
On February 24, 2017, we executed a $200.0 million warehouse facility to replace an existing facility of the same size and with the same lender maturing in February 2018.
On February 24, 2017 and on March 17, 2017, we executed two match funded lending agreements under which we can borrow up to $50.0 million each to finance the automotive dealer loans made by our ACS business. We may from time to time request increases in the maximum borrowing capacity under these agreements to a maximum of $100.0 million each.
On April 25, 2017, we extended to April 30, 2018 the maturity of two warehouse facilities with a combined uncommitted borrowing capacity of $250.0 million.
On May 18, 2017, we negotiated a reduction in the borrowing capacity of two lending warehouse facilities from a combined $110.0 million to $75.0 million. On August 23, 2017, we negotiated an increase in the combined borrowing capacity back to $110.0 million.
On May 29, 2017, we negotiated a change in the borrowing capacity of two lending warehouse facilities from $200.0 million available on a committed basis to $100.0 million available on a committed basis and the remainder of the borrowing capacity available at the discretion of the lender. On August 1, 2017, we voluntarily terminated these facilities.
On June 8, 2017, we negotiated a renewal through June 7, 2018 of an advance financing facility. As part of the renewal, we decreased the maximum borrowing capacity of the facility from $160.0 million to $110.0 million to reflect lower expected utilization in the future.
Effective June 30, 2017, we negotiated a reduction in the combined borrowing capacity under the revolving variable funding notes of an advance financing facility from $420.0 million to $210.0 million to reflect lower expected utilization in the future.
On August 10, 2017, we extended to August 10, 2018 the maturity of two revolving variable funding notes of an advance financing facility with combined borrowing capacity of $210.0 million. In addition, we elected to voluntarily terminate one variable funding note.
On August 16, 2017, we extended the term of one of our reverse lending warehouse facilities to November 18, 2017.
On August 18, 2017, we elected to voluntarily terminate a $100.0 million reverse lending master repurchase agreement.
On August 21, 2017, we negotiated an increase in combined committed borrowing capacity under a warehouse facility from $50.0 million to $87.5 million.

75



On September 15, 2017, we issued a $250.0 million new series of fixed-rate term notes to institutional investors to replace an existing $400.0 million term note with a higher interest rate that was scheduled to begin amortizing in November 2017, to reflect lower expected utilization in the future.
On October 27, 2017, we renewed a reverse lending warehouse facility through October 12, 2018. As part of the renewal, we increased the maximum borrowing capacity of the facility from $50.0 million to $100.0 million.
Our liquidity forecast requires management to use judgment and estimates and includes factors that may be beyond our control. Additionally, our business has been undergoing substantial change, which has magnified the uncertainties that are inherent in the forecasting process. Our actual results could differ materially from our estimates. If we were to default under any of our debt agreements, it could become very difficult for us to renew, replace or extend some or all of our debt agreements. Challenges to our liquidity position could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition and could cause us to take actions that would be outside the normal course of our operations to generate additional liquidity.
Credit Ratings
Credit ratings are intended to be an indicator of the creditworthiness of a particular company, security or obligation. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets. The following table summarizes our current ratings and outlook by the respective nationally recognized rating agencies. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

On July 25, 2017, S&P affirmed our long-term corporate rating of “B-” and removed our ratings from CreditWatch with Negative implications. On July 26, 2017, Kroll Bond Rating Agency affirmed our corporate ratings at “CCC” and removed our ratings from Watch Downgrade status. On June 16, 2017, Moody’s downgraded our long-term corporate rating to “Caa1” from “B3.” On June 15, 2017, Fitch placed our ratings on Negative. It is possible that additional actions by credit rating agencies could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and funding position, including materially changing the terms on which we may be able to borrow money.
Cash Flows
Our operating cash flow is primarily impacted by operating results, changes in our servicing advance balances, the level of mortgage loan production and the timing of sales and securitizations of mortgage loans. We classify proceeds from the sale of servicing advances, including advances sold in connection with the sale of MSRs, as investing activity. We classify changes in HECM loans held for investment as investing activity and changes in the related HMBS secured financing as financing activity.
Cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017
Our operating activities provided $401.2 million of cash largely due to $285.1 million of net collections of servicing advances. Net cash paid on loans held for sale was $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Our investing activities used $659.3 million of cash. The primary uses of cash in our investing activities include net cash outflows in connection with our HECM reverse mortgages of $650.1 million, net cash outflows of $10.1 million in connection with our ACS business and additions to premises and equipment of $7.4 million. Cash inflows include the receipt of $8.4 million of net proceeds from the sale of MSRs and related advances. 
Our financing activities provided $301.5 million of cash. Cash inflows include $981.7 million received in connection with our reverse mortgage securitizations, which are accounted for as secured financings, less repayments on the related financing liability of $287.9 million. In September 2017, we received a $54.6 million lump sum payment from NRZ following receipt of the required third-party consents and transfer of legal title to the MSRs underlying certain Rights to MSRs as compensation for foregoing certain payments under the 2012 - 2013 Agreements. Also, Ocwen sold to NRZ 6,075,510 shares of newly-issued Ocwen common stock in July 2017 for $13.9 million of proceeds. Cash outflows include $253.0 million of net repayments on match funded liabilities as a result of advance recoveries, and $12.6 million of repayments on the SSTL. In addition, we reduced borrowings under our mortgage warehouse facilities used to fund loan originations by $123.8 million.

Cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016
Our operating activities provided $350.4 million of cash largely due to $343.1 million of net collections of servicing advances. Net cash paid on loans held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $81.4 million.
Our investing activities used $572.2 million of cash. The primary uses of cash in our investing activities include net cash outflows in connection with our HECM reverse mortgages of $657.3 million and additions to premises and equipment of $28.6 million. Cash inflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 include the receipt of $120.2 million of net proceeds from the sale of MSRs and related advances.
Our financing activities provided $228.0 million of cash. Cash inflows include $820.4 million received in connection with our reverse mortgage securitizations, less repayment of the related financing liability of $162.0 million. Cash outflows are primarily comprised of $218.5 million of net repayments on match funded liabilities as a result of advance recoveries and $74.7 million of repayments on the SSTL. Cash outflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 also include the repurchase of 991,985 shares of common stock under our share repurchase program for $5.9 million prior to its expiration on July 31, 2016.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Contractual Obligations
We have analyzed our unfunded commitments and other contractual obligations and have evaluated the appropriateness of the key assumptions in forecasting our ability to satisfy these obligations. Based upon these evaluations and analyses, we believe that we have adequate resources to fund all unfunded commitments to the extent required and meet all contractual obligations as they come due. At September 30, 2017, such contractual obligations were primarily comprised of secured and unsecured borrowings, interest payments, operating leases and commitments to originate or purchase loans, including equity draws on reverse mortgages. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we executed two new match funded lending agreements to finance automotive dealer loans made by our ACS business. We also executed renewals and reductions in borrowing capacity of certain mortgage loan warehouse and match funded advance financing facilities. Our short-term commitments to lend in connection with our forward mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments outstanding at September 30, 2017 have declined since December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of our decision to exit the forward lending correspondent channel and volume reductions in the forward lending wholesale channel. There were no other significant changes to our contractual obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 11 – Borrowings to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Our forecasting with respect to our ability to satisfy our contractual obligations requires management to use judgment and estimates and includes factors that may be beyond our control. Additionally, our business has been undergoing substantial change, which has magnified the uncertainties that are inherent in the forecasting process. Our actual results could differ materially from our estimates, and if this were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we engage in transactions with a variety of financial institutions and other companies that are not reflected on our balance sheet. We are subject to potential financial loss if the counterparties to our off-balance sheet transactions are unable to complete an agreed upon transaction. We manage counterparty credit risk by entering into financial instrument transactions through national exchanges, primary dealers or approved counterparties and through the use of mutual margining agreements whenever possible to limit potential exposure. We regularly evaluate the financial position and creditworthiness of our counterparties. Our off-balance sheet arrangements include mortgage loan repurchase and indemnification obligations, unconsolidated SPEs (a type of VIE) and notional amounts of our derivatives. We have also entered into non-cancelable operating leases principally for our office facilities.
Mortgage Loan Repurchase and Indemnification Liabilities. We have exposure to representation, warranty and indemnification obligations in our capacity as a loan originator and servicer. We recognize the fair value of representation and warranty obligations in connection with originations upon sale of the loan or upon completion of an acquisition. Thereafter, the estimation of the liability considers probable future obligations based on industry data of loans of similar type segregated by year of origination and estimated loss severity based on current loss rates for similar loans. Our historical loss severity considers the historical loss experience that we incur upon sale or liquidation of a repurchased loan as well as current market conditions.
The underlying trends for loan repurchases and indemnifications are volatile, and there is significant uncertainty regarding our expectations of future loan repurchases and indemnifications and related loss severities. Due to the significant uncertainties surrounding estimates related to future repurchase and indemnification requests by investors and insurers as well as uncertainties surrounding home prices, it is possible that our exposure could exceed our recorded mortgage loan repurchase and

77



indemnification liability. Our estimate of the mortgage loan repurchase and indemnification liability considers the current macro-economic environment and recent repurchase trends; however, if we experience a prolonged period of higher repurchase and indemnification activity or a decline in home values, then our realized losses from loan repurchases and indemnifications may ultimately be in excess of our recorded liability. Given the levels of realized losses in recent periods, there is a reasonable possibility that future losses may be in excess of our recorded liability. See Note 2 – Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities, Note 12 – Other Liabilities and Note 21 – Contingencies to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Involvement with SPEs. We use SPEs for a variety of purposes but principally in the financing of our servicing advances and in the securitization of mortgage loans. We consolidate the servicing advance financing SPEs.
We generally use match funded securitization facilities to finance our servicing advances. The SPEs to which the receivables for servicing advances are transferred in the securitization transaction are included in our consolidated financial statements either because we have the majority equity interest in the SPE or because we are the primary beneficiary where the SPE is a VIE. Holders of the debt issued by the SPEs have recourse only to the assets of the SPEs for satisfaction of the debt.
VIEs. If we determine that we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we include the VIE in our consolidated financial statements. We have interests in VIEs that we do not consolidate because we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. In addition, we have transferred forward and reverse mortgage loans in transactions accounted for as sales or as secured borrowings for which we retained the obligation for servicing and for standard representations and warranties on the loans. See Note 2 – Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Derivatives. We record all derivatives at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. We use these derivatives primarily to manage our interest rate risk. The notional amounts of our derivative contracts do not reflect our exposure to credit loss. See Note 14 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our ability to measure and report our financial position and operating results is influenced by the need to estimate the impact or outcome of future events on the basis of information available at the date of the financial statements. An accounting estimate is considered critical if it requires that management make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made. If actual results differ from our judgments and assumptions, then it may have an adverse impact on the results of operations and cash flows. We have processes in place to monitor these judgments and assumptions, and management is required to review critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are disclosed in Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Fair Value Measurements
We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. Refer to Note 3 – Fair Value to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value hierarchy, descriptions of valuation methodologies used to measure significant assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models, and significant assumptions utilized. We follow the fair value hierarchy in order to prioritize the inputs utilized to measure fair value. We review and modify, as necessary, our fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. As such, there may be reclassifications between hierarchy levels.

The balance represents our impaired government-insured stratum of amortization method MSRs, which is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The carrying value of this stratum is net of a valuation allowance of $26.6 million and $28.2 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Assets at fair value using Level 3 inputs increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to reverse mortgage originations. Liabilities at fair value using Level 3 inputs increased primarily in connection with reverse mortgage securitizations, which we account for as secured financings. Our net economic exposure to Loans held for investment - Reverse mortgages and the related Financing liabilities (HMBS-related borrowings) is limited to the residual value we retain. Changes in inputs used to value the loans held for investment are largely offset by changes in the value of the related secured financing.
We have various internal controls in place to ensure the appropriateness of fair value measurements. Significant fair value measures are subject to analysis and management review and approval. Additionally, we utilize a number of operational controls to ensure the results are reasonable, including comparison, or “back testing,” of model results against actual performance and monitoring the market for recent trades, including our own price discovery in connection with potential and completed sales, and other market information that can be used to benchmark inputs or outputs. Considerable judgment is used in forming conclusions about Level 3 inputs such as interest rate movements, prepayment speeds, delinquencies, credit losses and discount rates. Changes to these inputs could have a significant effect on fair value measurements.
Valuation and Amortization of MSRs
MSRs are assets that represent the right to service a portfolio of mortgage loans. We originate MSRs from our lending activities and obtain MSRs through asset acquisitions or business combinations. For initial measurement, acquired and originated MSRs are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to acquisition or origination, we account for MSRs using the amortization or fair value measurement method. For MSRs accounted for using the amortization measurement method, we assess servicing assets or liabilities for impairment or increased obligation based on fair value on a quarterly basis. We group our MSRs by stratum for impairment testing based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying mortgage loans. We recognized the reversal of $1.6 million of impairment charges on our government-insured MSRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (including a $6.2 million reversal during the third quarter), as the fair value for this stratum increased relative to its carrying value. This reversal of impairment was primarily due to a favorable assumption update in the third quarter of 2017 relating to the recoverability of certain advances on various privately-held government-insured loans. The

79



carrying value of this stratum at September 30, 2017 was $136.9 million, net of the valuation allowance of $26.6 million. We recognize MSR impairment charges and reversals in Servicing and origination expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The determination of the fair value of MSRs requires management judgment due to the number of assumptions that underlie the valuation. We estimate the fair value of our MSRs using a process based upon the use of independent third-party valuation experts and supported by commercially available discounted cash flow models and analysis of current market data. The key assumptions used in the valuation of these MSRs include prepayment speeds, loan delinquency, cost to service and discount rates.
Income Taxes
We record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. We compute the provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using the currently enacted tax rates in each jurisdiction that applies to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
We conduct periodic evaluations of positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset can be realized in future periods. In these evaluations, we gave more significant weight to objective evidence, such as our actual financial condition and historical results of operations, as compared to subjective evidence, such as projections of future taxable income or losses.
As a result of these evaluations, as of December 31, 2016, we recognized a full valuation allowance for the $95.5 million of U.S. deferred tax assets and for the $36.2 million on our USVI deferred tax assets as the U.S. and USVI jurisdictional deferred tax assets are not considered to be more likely than not realizable based on all available positive and negative evidence. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in both the U.S. and USVI until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period in which the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change based on the profitability that we achieve.
Net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (Section 382) (or comparable provisions of foreign or state law) in the event that certain changes in ownership were to occur. We periodically evaluate our NOL carryforwards and whether certain changes in ownership have occurred that would limit our ability to utilize a portion of our NOL carryforwards. If it is determined that an ownership change(s) has occurred, there may be annual limitations on the use of these NOL carryforwards under Section 382 (or comparable provisions of foreign or state law).
We are currently in the process of evaluating whether we experienced an ownership change, as defined under Section 382, and have identified risk that an ownership change may have occurred in the U.S. jurisdiction during 2015. To the extent this is ultimately determined to have occurred, the annual utilization of our NOLs may be subject to certain limitations under Section 382 and other limitations under state tax laws.
Any reduction to our NOL deferred tax asset due to an annual Section 382 limitation and the NOL carryforward period would result in an offsetting reduction in valuation allowance related to the NOL deferred tax asset. Therefore, we would anticipate that any limitation would not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations.
Indemnification Obligations
We have exposure to representation, warranty and indemnification obligations because of our lending, sales and securitization activities, our acquisitions to the extent we assume one or more of these obligations, and in connection with our servicing practices. We initially recognize these obligations at fair value. Thereafter, the estimation of the liability considers probable future obligations based on industry data of loans of similar type segregated by year of origination, to the extent applicable, and estimated loss severity based on current loss rates for similar loans, our historical rescission rates and the current pipeline of unresolved demands. Our historical loss severity considers the historical loss experience that we incur upon sale or liquidation of a repurchased loan as well as current market conditions. We monitor the adequacy of the overall liability

80



and make adjustments, as necessary, after consideration of other qualitative factors including ongoing dialogue and experience with our counterparties.
Litigation
We monitor our litigation matters, including advice from external legal counsel, and regularly perform assessments of these matters for potential loss accrual and disclosure. We establish liabilities for settlements, judgments on appeal and filed and/or threatened claims for which we believe it is probable that a loss has been or will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Going Concern
In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, we evaluate whether there are conditions that are known or reasonably knowable that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that our financial statements are issued. We perform a detailed review and analysis of relevant quantitative and qualitative information from across our organization in connection with this evaluation. To support this effort, senior management from key business units reviews and assesses the following information:
our current financial condition, including liquidity sources at the date that the financial statements are issued (e.g., available liquid funds and available access to credit, including covenant compliance);
our conditional and unconditional obligations due or anticipated within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (regardless of whether those obligations are recognized in our financial statements);
funds necessary to maintain operations considering our current financial condition, obligations and other expected cash flows within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (i.e., financial forecasting); and
other conditions and events, when considered in conjunction with the above items, that may adversely affect our ability to meet obligations within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (e.g., negative financial trends, indications of possible financial difficulties, internal matters such as a need to significantly revise operations and external matters such as adverse regulatory/legal proceedings or rating agency decisions).
If such conditions exist, management evaluates its plans that when implemented would mitigate the condition(s) and alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such plans are considered only if information available as of the date that the financial statements are issued indicates both of the following are true:
it is probable management’s plans will be implemented within the evaluation period; and
it is probable management’s plans, when implemented individually or in the aggregate, will mitigate the condition(s) that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the evaluation period.
Our evaluation of whether it is probable that management’s plans will be effectively implemented within the evaluation period is based on the feasibility of implementation of management’s plans in light of our specific facts and circumstances.
Our evaluation of whether it is probable that our plans, individually or in the aggregate, will be implemented in the evaluation period involves a degree of judgment, including about matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Dollars in thousands unless otherwise indicated)
Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk due to the impact on our mortgage-related assets and commitments, including mortgage loans held for sale, IRLCs and MSRs. Changes in interest rates could materially and adversely affect our volume of mortgage loan originations or reduce the value of our MSRs. We also have exposure to the effects of changes in interest rates on our borrowings, including advance financing facilities.
Interest rate risk is a function of (i) the timing of re-pricing and (ii) the dollar amount of assets and liabilities that re-price at various times. We are exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that our interest rate sensitive liabilities mature or re-price at different speeds, or on different bases, than interest-earning assets.
Our Market Risk Committee establishes and maintains policies that govern our hedging program, including such factors as our target hedge ratio, the hedge instruments that we are permitted to use in our hedging activities and the counterparties with whom we are permitted to enter into hedging transactions. See Note 14 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our use of derivatives.
Match Funded Liabilities
We monitor the effect of increases in interest rates on the interest paid on our variable rate advance financing debt. Earnings on cash and float balances are a partial offset to our exposure to changes in interest expense. To the extent the projected excess of our variable rate debt over cash and float balances require, we would consider hedging this exposure with interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments. We may purchase interest rate caps as economic hedges (not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes) as required by certain of our advance financing arrangements.
IRLCs and Loans Held for Sale
IRLCs represent an agreement to purchase loans from a third-party originator or an agreement to extend credit to a mortgage loan applicant, whereby the interest rate on the loan is set prior to funding. In our lending business, mortgage loans held for sale and IRLCs are subject to the effects of changes in mortgage interest rates from the date of the commitment through the sale of the loan into the secondary market. As a result, we are exposed to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of the lock commitment through (i) the lock commitment cancellation or expiration date or (ii) through the date of sale of the resulting loan into the secondary mortgage market. Loan commitments for forward loans range from 5 to 90 days, but the majority of our commitments are for 15 days (in the correspondent and broker channels) or 60 days (for the retail channel). Our holding period for mortgage loans from funding to sale is typically less than 30 days. Our interest rate exposure on these derivative loan commitments is hedged with freestanding derivatives such as forward contracts. We enter into forward contracts with respect to both fixed and variable rate loan commitments.
For loans held for sale that we have elected to carry at fair value, we manage the associated interest rate risk through an active hedging program overseen by our Investment Committee. Our hedging policy determines the hedging instruments to be used in the mortgage loan hedging program, which include forward sales of agency “to be announced” securities (TBAs), whole loan forward sales, Eurodollar futures and interest rate options. Forward mortgage-backed securities (MBS) trades are primarily used to fix the forward sales price that will be realized upon the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. Our hedging policy also stipulates the hedge ratio we must maintain in managing this interest rate risk, which is also monitored by our Investment Committee.
Fair Value MSRs
We have elected to account for two classes of MSRs at fair value. The first is a class of acquired Agency MSRs, principally originated during 2012, for which we hedged the interest rate risk because the mortgage notes underlying the MSRs permit the borrowers to prepay the loans. Effective April 1, 2013, we modified our strategy for managing the risks of the portfolio of loans underlying this class of fair value MSRs and closed out the remaining economic hedge positions associated with this class. We terminated these hedges because we determined that they were ineffective for large movements in interest rates and only assured losses in substantial increasing-rate environments. The second class of MSRs accounted for at fair value was designated on January 1, 2015, when we elected fair value accounting for a newly created class of non-Agency MSRs that we previously accounted for using the amortization method.

Sensitivity Analysis
Fair Value MSRs, Loans Held for Sale and Related Derivatives
The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our MSRs and loans held for sale that we have elected to carry at fair value as well as any related derivatives at September 30, 2017, given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. We used September 30, 2017 market rates to perform the sensitivity analysis. The estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraphs and assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship to the change in fair value may not be linear.

This change in fair value reflects the impact of market rate changes on projected prepayments on the Agency MSR portfolio carried at fair value. Additionally, non-Agency MSRs carried at fair value can exhibit cash flow sensitivity for advance financing costs and / or float earnings indexed to a market rate. However, we believe the pricing levels on aged non-Agency MSRs should remain stable despite the recent rise in LIBOR rates, given the lack of market transactions supporting any pricing change, and the general industry approach to conservatively valuing such assets. As such, we have assumed zero sensitivity to a 25 bps change in market rates for the non-Agency MSR portfolio.
Borrowings
The debt used to finance much of our operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. We may purchase interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to minimize future interest rate exposure from increases in 1-Month LIBOR interest rates.
Based on September 30, 2017 balances, if interest rates were to increase by 1% on our variable rate debt and interest earning cash and float balances, we estimate a net positive impact of approximately $8.5 million resulting from an increase of $23.1 million in annual interest income and an increase of $14.6 million in annual interest expense. The increase in interest expense reflects the effect of our hedging activities, which would offset $3.1 million of the increase in interest on our variable rate debt.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2017.
Based on such evaluation, and solely because of the previously disclosed material weakness in internal control over financial reporting (see our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2016) related to ineffective controls regarding the review and disclosure of regulatory matters, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017. Our controls related to the review and disclosure of regulatory matters were not operating effectively to ensure such matters were adequately disclosed. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management strengthened controls to improve the communication and evaluation of regulatory matters and related disclosures to and by Ocwen’s Disclosure Review Committee (DRC) by creating a working group comprised of representatives from accounting, financial reporting, legal and compliance who are charged with reviewing regulatory matters and disclosures. The DRC will also include a discussion of regulatory matters on its agenda. Management believes these changes will remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above. We will test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the new controls in future periods. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable

84



remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Other than the controls related to the review and disclosure of regulatory matters as noted above (which have been implemented), there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 21 – Contingencies to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. That information is incorporated into this item by reference.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves significant risk. We describe the most significant risks that management believes affect or could affect us under Part I of Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and we added additional risk factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Understanding these risks is important to understanding any statement in such Annual Report and in our subsequent SEC filings (including this Form 10-Q) and to evaluating an investment in our common stock. You should carefully read and consider the risks and uncertainties described therein together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in such Annual Report and in our subsequent SEC filings before you make any decision regarding an investment in our common stock. You should also consider the information set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements.” If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of our common stock could significantly decline, and you could lose some or all of your investment.

8.1    The parties hereto hereby agree to use best efforts to obtain all Third Party consents necessary or desirable to transfer the Seller Servicing Rights in respect of each MSRPA Servicing Agreement to NRM pursuant to the Transfer Agreement as quickly as possible. NRM shall not be required, however, to obtain ratings from any rating agencies to comply with its obligations under this Section 8.1. The parties agree to act in a coordinated manner in obtaining such Third Party Consents such that the purposes of this Agreement are not frustrated.
8.2    Seller will fully involve NRM and its representatives and advisors in the diligence plan and processes relating to obtaining Third Party Consents. Seller will provide ongoing updates to NRM and its representatives and advisors as to the progress of obtaining such Third Party Consents including, but not limited to, written weekly progress reports detailing the following, among other fields to be determined, (i) the “Shared Costs” (as defined below) incurred to date, (ii) estimated future “Shared Costs” and the estimated timing of incurring such Shared Costs, (iii) an updated count of diligenced MSRPA Servicing Agreements, (iv) an updated “consent tracker” showing consents received and the status of consents that have been requested but not yet delivered, (v) a description of the MSRPA Servicing Agreements in respect of which the Transfer Date has occurred.

The “Shared Costs” do not include legal expenses of Seller and its affiliates or NRM and its affiliates for any particular matter, event or issue in connection with obtaining the Third Party Consents or the transfers of servicing to NRM if both Seller (and/or any affiliate) and NRM (and/or any affiliate) determine it is reasonably necessary or appropriate to for such parties to separately incur legal expenses for such matter, event or issue (including, without limitation, the negotiation and execution of the Related Agreements).
8.5    Seller and NRM shall consult with each other prior to the payment of any fees (other than legal fees and expenses) payable to any third party in connection with the delivery of any Third Party Consent.

8.6    The provisions of this Section 8 shall govern the allocation of costs of obtaining Third Party Consents in connection with the transfer of servicing to NRM pursuant to the Transfer Agreement notwithstanding any provision in the contrary in the MSR Purchase Agreement or Sale Supplements.

The New RMSR Agreement shall be drafted and entered into in accordance with the documentation principles set forth on Exhibit 8 attached hereto.
Section 9.    Consent Non-Delivery Determination Dates.
9.1    If the Consent Non-Delivery Determination Date occurs in respect of any Group, Holdings may, in its sole and absolute discretion, pay Seller an amount equal to the Fee Restructuring Payment in respect of such Group on or before the Option #1 Exercise Deadline for such Group. In such a circumstance, Holdings shall pay the Fee Restructuring Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds prior to the end of the Option #1 Exercise Deadline to Seller’s account in the USVI pursuant to written instructions to be provided by Seller. Upon Holdings’ payment of the Fee Restructuring Payment in respect of any Group to Seller: (i) Seller shall service the related Mortgage Loans and perform its obligations under such Group, in accordance with the New RMSR Agreement and (ii) each MSRPA Servicing Agreement in such Group shall cease to be a “Deferred Servicing Agreement” for purposes of the MSR Purchase Agreement and Sale Supplements (although nothing shall impair the prior valid transfers of the Rights to MSRs, equity interests in

21
 




Advance SPEs and Transferred Receivables Assets thereunder). Holdings’ option to pay Seller an amount equal to the Fee Restructuring Payment in respect of any Group as described above is referred to herein as the “Fee Restructuring Payment Option”.
9.2    If Holdings has not exercised the Fee Restructuring Payment Option for any Group before the Option #1 Exercise Deadline for such Group, Seller may, at its option in its sole and absolute discretion, purchase the following from the Purchasers in respect of such Group: (i) the Rights to MSRs at a purchase price in cash or other immediately available funds equal to (A) the greater of the related Average Third Party Mark and the related Internal Mark minus (B) an amount equal to the Fee Restructuring Payment for such Group and (ii) all related Transferred Receivables Assets at a purchase price in cash or other immediately available funds equal to the outstanding balance of such Transferred Receivables Assets. Seller’s option to purchase the Rights to MSRs and Transferred Receivables Assets in respect of any Group as described above is referred to herein as the “Purchase Option”. In order to exercise the Purchase Option for any Group, (i) Seller shall give written notice in respect thereof on before the Option #2 Exercise Deadline for such Group and (ii) Seller and Purchasers shall work in good faith to consummate such Purchase Option as soon as practicable (but, in any event, within fifteen (15) days (or, if Seller needs to obtain financing, thirty (30) days)) after the Purchasers’ receipt of such written notice from Seller.
9.3    If (x) Holdings has not exercised the Fee Restructuring Payment Option for any Group before the related Option #1 Exercise Deadline, and (y) Seller has not exercised the Purchase Option for any Group before the related Option #2 Exercise Deadline, the Purchasers and their affiliates may, at their option, in their sole and absolute discretion, market the related Servicing Rights for such Group (including the Rights to MSRs and any Transferred Receivables Assets) to any third parties. The following shall apply in the event of any such marketing:
(a)    Purchasers shall deliver to Seller (i) all written term sheets, written offers submitted by third parties (including, in each case, those submitted in electronic form) and any non-disclosure agreements, in each case, in connection with such marketing promptly following its receipt thereof, and (ii) on a weekly basis, a written report (which may be delivered via email) generally describing the marketing process and any other written indications of interest that the Purchasers have received in connection with such marketing.
(b)    Before the execution of the definitive documentation for any such sale in accordance with clause (f) below, so long as such winning bid is greater than or equal to the related Reservation Price, Seller will have the option to purchase the related Rights to MSRs in respect of such Group at the highest third party bid obtained minus the applicable Fee Restructuring Payment. If the winning bid is less than the related Reservation Price and the Purchasers desire, in their sole and absolute discretion, to proceed with the sale, Seller shall have the option to purchase the related Rights to MSRs in respect of such Group at the highest third party bid obtained. If Seller does purchase such Rights to MSRs for such Group, Seller will also be required to purchase the related Transferred Receivables Assets for a price equal to the outstanding balance thereof. Holdings shall select the winning bid for any particular potential sale.

22
 




(c)    If the Servicing Rights (including the Rights to MSRs and any Transferred Receivables Assets) are instead sold to a third party, Holdings shall (i) pay Seller an amount equal to the Fee Restructuring Payment in respect of such MSRPA Servicing Agreement on the related closing date and (ii) use reasonable efforts to encourage such third party to engage Seller as a subservicer in respect of such MSRPA Servicing Agreement. The Purchasers are entitled to all proceeds of such sale so long as Holdings pays to Seller the Fee Restructuring Payments in respect of the applicable MSRPA Servicing Agreements as contemplated by the preceding sentence.
(d)    Immediately before any such sale to any third party or to Seller pursuant to this Section 9.3(b), Purchasers and any applicable affiliates will transfer to Seller the related Rights to MSRs and the related Transferred Receivables Assets.

The Purchasers will use best efforts to obtain such necessary consents but shall not be required to refinance any indebtedness in connection with using such best efforts.

EXHIBIT 1

Group Selection Procedures

Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Seller and Holdings, each “Group” shall be determined as follows:

On each Designation Date, Holdings shall designate a “Group” which shall consist of all of the MSRPA Servicing Agreements for which the Consent Non-Delivery Determination Date occurred on or after the most recent Designation Date (or, in the case of the initial Designation Date, on or after the Effective Date) and prior to such Designation Date.

On the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date, Holdings shall designate additional Groups in accordance with the following procedures:

o
The number of Groups designated on such date will be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next whole number) of (i) the Grouping UPB (as defined below) divided by (ii) $15.0 billion. For example, if the Grouping UPB is $33.0 billion, there will be three (3) Groups.
§
If the number of Groups is two (2) or greater, the Fee Restructuring Payments allocable to such Groups shall be determined as set forth below.

o
Holdings will then determine the MSRPA Servicing Agreements allocated to each Group based on the related Delinquency Rates (as defined below) for such MSRPA Servicing Agreements such that:

§
the amount of the Grouping UPB allocated to any particular Group is substantially the same (it being understood that each such allocated amount of the Grouping UPB may vary by Groups by up to 10%); and

§
the MSRPA Servicing Agreements allocated to any particular Group are allocated based on the related Delinquency Rates of such MSRPA Servicing Agreement. By way of example, if there are three Groups, (i) the MSRPA Servicing Agreements (by Grouping UPB) with the lowest Delinquency Rates will be allocated to one Group, (ii) the MSRPA Servicing Agreements (by Grouping UPB) with the middle Delinquency Rates will be allocated to one Group and (iii) the MSRPA Servicing Agreements (by Grouping UPB) with the highest Delinquency Rates will be allocate to one Group.
For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:



 




Delinquency Rate” means, for any MSRPA Servicing Agreement, the percentage (based on interest bearing principal balances) of Primary Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent as of June 30, 2018.

Delinquent” means for any Mortgage Loan, any monthly payment due thereon is not made by the close of business on the day such monthly payment is required to be paid and remains unpaid for more than 30 days.

Grouping UPB” means, for all MSRPA Servicing Agreements in respect of which the Consent Non-Delivery Determination Date occurs on the one-year anniversary of this Agreement or otherwise on or after the Designation Date occurring in April 2018, the aggregate unpaid interest bearing principal balance of the Primary Mortgage Loans under such MSRPA Servicing Agreements as of the close of business on June 30, 2018.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Seller and Holdings, if two (2) or more Groups are designated on the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date pursuant to the second bullet point in these Group Selection Procedures, the Fee Restructuring Payments for each such Group shall be determined as follows:
 
1.
Step 1:  Holdings shall engage two Approved Third Party Appraisers to determine the Average Third Party Marks for each such Group. 
 
2.
Step 2:  Holding shall determine the Allocation Percentage for each such Group. The “Allocation Percentage” for each such Group shall mean the quotient of (i) the Average Third Party Mark for such Group divided by (ii) the aggregate of all Average Third Party Marks for all such Groups. The sum of the Allocation Percentages for all such Groups shall equal 100%.
 
3.
Step 3:  Holdings shall then:
 
a.
determine the aggregate Lump-Sum Payments that Holdings would pay Seller if the Transfer Dates for all MSRPA Servicing Agreements in such Groups occurred on the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date. Such amount is the “Gross Amount”; and

b.
determine the Fee Restructuring Payment for each such Group, which shall equal the product of (i) the Gross Amount and (ii) the Allocation Percentage for such Group.

Section 6.8    Defaults under Deferred Servicing Agreements. Seller covenants and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cure any breach, default or notice of default with respect to its obligations under any Deferred Servicing Agreement within the timeframe for cure set forth in such Deferred Servicing Agreement.
Section 6.9    Continuity of Business. (a) Seller will maintain a disaster recovery plan in support of the services it performs pursuant to this Sale Supplement and each Deferred Servicing Agreement. Seller’s disaster recovery plan shall include, at a minimum, procedures for back-up/restoration of operating and loan administration computer systems; procedures and third‑party agreements for replacement equipment (e.g. computer equipment), and procedures and third‑party agreements for off‑site production facilities. Seller will provide Holdings information regarding its disaster recovery plan upon reasonable request. Seller agrees to annually test its disaster recovery plan to ensure compliance with this Section 6.9. If such test results identify a material failure, Seller shall advise Holdings of the steps Seller will be taking to remedy such failure and shall notify Holdings when Seller has remedied such failure and retested. Seller will notify Holdings anytime Seller’s disaster recovery plan is activated. In the event of an activation of the

22





disaster recovery plan, Seller shall use best efforts to provide redundancy capabilities for a majority of the critical systems within 48 hours in at least one of Seller’s other servicing facilities unaffected by the disaster to ensure servicing of the Mortgage Loans will be re‑established within such 48 hours.
Section 6.10    Clean Up Call Rights. Seller shall exercise its rights under any optional termination or clean up call rights provided for in the Servicing Agreements and the Underlying Documents (the “Clean Up Call Rights”) only at the prior written direction of MSR – EBO specifying the date of exercise, which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of such notice from MSR – EBO. In connection with such exercise of Clean Up Call Rights, Seller hereby sells and transfers to MSR – EBO (or its designee) on an exclusive and “as is” basis the right to all economic beneficial rights to such Clean Up Call Rights (including the right to cause Seller to exercise such Clean Up Call Rights), which include the economic beneficial interest in the right to purchase from the related trust for each Deferred Servicing Agreement all of the assets of such trust, including the mortgage loans and REO properties (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) for a payment of 0.50% of the unpaid principal balance of all Performing Mortgage Loans of such trust (which payment is due upon the exercise of any Clean Up Call Rights). Any purchase and exercise of such Clean Up Call Rights shall be subject to customary “as is” documentation, which MSR – EBO and Seller will negotiate in good faith. Seller shall give MSR – EBO at least thirty (30) days’ notice prior to the date on which Seller would have to notify the trustee for the related trust of its intent to exercise the related Clean Up Call Rights and will work in good faith with MSR – EBO and the related trustee with respect to the exercise the Clean Up Call Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, MSR – EBO (or its designee) shall fund the exercise of the Clean Ups Call Rights acquired and pay any expenses associated with such exercise (including any of Seller’s reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses and any customary transfer expenses and deboarding fees, if applicable) and pay all unreimbursed Servicer Advances and other amounts owed to Holdings with respect to such Servicing Agreement under this Sale Supplement. For purposes of this Section 6.10, “Performing Mortgage Loan” means any Mortgage Loan that is current or thirty (30) days or less delinquent (MBA method). The rights of Seller to payment in respect of any exercise of Clean Up Call Rights under this Section 6.10 by MSR – EBO or its designee shall survive any transfer of servicing pursuant to Section 6.12.
Section 6.11    Amendments to Deferred Servicing Agreements; Transfer of Servicing Rights. Seller hereby covenants and agrees not to amend the Servicing Agreements without the Purchasers’ prior written consent. Seller shall not sell or otherwise voluntarily transfer servicing under any of the Deferred Servicing Agreement during the Consent Period except as expressly provided in this Sale Supplement or take any other actions inconsistent with Holdings’ right to acquire ownership of Servicing Rights with respect to a Servicing Agreement upon receipt of the required Third Party Consents.
Section 6.12    Assumption of Servicing Duties; Transfer of Rights to MSRs and Servicing Rights. 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.

23





Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or this Sale Supplement to the contrary, either Purchaser 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, MSR – EBO shallbe entitled to receive all proceeds of such transfer.
Section 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 MSR – EBO’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 MSR – EBO with respect to which all required Third Party Consents with respect to such Servicing Agreement can be obtained. MSR – EBO shall be entitled to receive all proceeds of such transfer.
Section 6.14    Servicing Transfer. Seller and the Purchasers shall, prior to the Servicing Transfer Date with respect to each Servicing Agreement,workingoodfaith to determine and agreeuponapplicableservicing transfer procedures with respect to such Servicing Agreement.
Section 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
Section 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 the Purchasers under this Sale Supplement during such calendar month with respect the Deferred Servicing Agreements (the “Seller Monthly Servicing Fee”).

24





Section 7.2    Performance Fee. In addition to the Seller Monthly Servicing Fee, Holdings shall pay to Seller for each calendar month during which Seller 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 the Purchasers with respect to the Deferred Servicing Agreements and pursuant to the Transferred Servicing Agreements (whether directly 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 One‑Month LIBOR (calculated using the arithmetic mean of daily rates for the period published by British Bankers’ Association) plus 2.75% 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 servicer 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.
Section 7.3    Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided inthe 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 the Purchasers for any reasonable out‑of‑pocket costs, including legal fees, incurred by the Purchasers in connection with obtaining any required Third Party Consents; provided, however, thatneither Purchaser shall incur such costs without the prior written approval of Seller.
Section 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, to the extent such Ancillary Income or Prepayment Interest Excess is permitted to be retained by Seller pursuant to the related Deferred Servicing Agreement.

25





Section 7.5    Calculation and Payment. No later than the second Business Day following the receipt by the 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.
Section 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.
Section 7.7    Servicing Fee Reset Date. No later than six (6) months prior to the Servicing Fee Reset Date, Holdings shall commence negotiating in good faith an extension of the Servicing Fee Reset Date and the servicing fees payable to Seller. If Seller and Holdings are unable to agree to such servicing fees prior to the Servicing Fee Reset Date, Seller shall, upon Holdings’ written direction to such effect, transfer the Servicing Rights relating to all of the Deferred Servicing Agreements to a third party servicer (including any affiliate of Holdings) identified by Holdings with respect to which all required Third Party Consents with respect to the Deferred Servicing Agreements can be obtained. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sale Supplement, after the Servicing Fee Reset Date and prior to any transfer of servicing under this section, all fees payable to Seller under this Sale Supplement shall continue to be paid and the Servicing Agreement shall continue to be deemed a Deferred Servicing Agreement hereunder. Upon any transfer of servicing pursuant to this Section 7.7, an amount equal to the consideration for the transfer of related accrued and unpaid servicing fees for such Deferred Servicing Agreement shall be paid to Seller so long as Holdings receives the amount of the accrued and unpaid Retained Servicing Fee and Retained Servicing Fee Shortfall, if any, owing Holdings at the date of transfer (whether or not then due and payable hereunder). MSR-EBO shall be entitled to receive all proceeds of such transfer other than the amounts Seller is entitled to in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

26





perform any of Seller’s duties, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Agreement, this Sale Supplement or any other Related Agreement, (c) acts or omissions of Seller, any other servicer of any Mortgage Loans, or any subservicer, contractor or agent engaged by Seller or any other servicer, in each case prior to the related Servicing Transfer Date, relating to the Transferred Assets, including any failure by Seller, any other servicer or any subservicer, contractor or agent engaged by Seller or any other servicer prior to the related Servicing Transfer Date to comply with the Applicable Requirements, (d) the Excluded Liabilities or (e) any acts or omissions by Seller or its employees or agents in performance of its duties or obligations pursuant to this Sale Supplement.

(a)    As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under the Agreement or this Sale Supplement not involving a Third‑Party Claim, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after first becoming aware of such claim, the Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Indemnifying Person of such claim, which notice shall specify the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim and the amount that the Indemnified Person seeks hereunder from the Indemnifying Person; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Section 8.3 except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby.
(b)    The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice thereof, to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding, by any unaffiliated third Person (a “Third‑Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under the Agreement or this Sale Supplement (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such claim); provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Section 8.3 except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby.

If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the

27





counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such Third‑Party Claim, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

(b)    All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made free and clear and without deductions of any kind for taxes.
Section 8.5    Survival. The parties’ obligations under this Article 8 shall survive any termination of the Agreement and/or this Sale Supplement.

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

(iv)    by Purchaser, if it is not in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations under this Agreement (after, in the case of such representations and warranties, excluding any effect of materiality or Purchaser Material Adverse Effect qualifications), and if (A) at any time that any of the representations and warranties of Seller herein become untrue or inaccurate such that Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied or (B) there has been a breach on the part of Seller of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that Section 6.2(b) would not be satisfied, and, in both case (A) and case (B), such breach (if curable) has not been cured within thirty (30) days after Purchaser has provided written notice of such breach to Seller;

(v)    by Seller, if it is not in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations under this Agreement (after, in the case of any other representations and warranties, excluding any effect of materiality or Seller Material Adverse Effect qualifications), and if (A) at any time that any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser herein become untrue or inaccurate such that Section 6.3(a) would not be satisfied or (B) there has been a breach on the part of Purchaser of any of its covenants





or agreements contained in this Agreement such that Section 6.3(b) would not be satisfied, and, in both case (A) and case (B), such breach (if curable) has not been cured within thirty (30) days after Seller has provided written notice of such breach to Purchaser; or

(vi)    by Purchaser, in the event that prior to the Sale Date there shall have occurred (x) a material change in financial markets, an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or a material change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions; (y) a general suspension of trading on major stock exchanges; or (z) a disruption in or moratorium on commercial banking activities or securities settlement
services; in any such case, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the Purchase Price to be paid as of the Sale Date.
(b)    In the event of termination by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.3(a), written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect and the Contemplated Transactions shall be terminated without further action by any Party; provided, that, in the event this Agreement is terminated only with respect to the sale of certain Servicing Rights pertaining to any particular Servicing Agreement, it shall become void and have no effect and the Contemplated Transactions shall be terminated without further action by any Party only with respect to such sale of such Servicing Rights and shall otherwise remain in full force and effect between the Parties. If the Contemplated Transactions (or a portion thereof) are terminated as provided herein:

(i)    each Party shall return to the other Party hereto within thirty (30) days of termination all documents and other material received from such other Party or its respective Affiliates or Representatives relating to the Contemplated Transactions (or such portion thereof), whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof;

(ii)    all confidential information received by each Party hereto with respect to Seller’s or Purchaser’s servicing business shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement; and

(iii)    the provisions of Section 5.2(a) (Confidentiality), Section 5.4 (Publicity), Article VII (Indemnification) and this Article VIII shall remain in full force and effect, along with any other Section which, by its terms, relates to post-termination rights or obligations.

(c)    In no event shall any termination of this Agreement limit or restrict the rights and remedies of a Party hereto against the other Party with respect to any liabilities or Losses incurred or suffered by such Party as a result of the breach by the other Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

8.8
Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision will be substituted therefore in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor will such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

EXHIBIT 8
New RMSR Agreement Documentation Principles
The New RMSR Agreement will provide that the Seller and the Purchasers will have similar interests and economics in the related Servicing Rights and Rights to MSRs for the MSRPA Servicing Agreement subject to the New RMSR Agreement that NRM and the Purchasers would have under the NRM Subservicing Agreement (including any related portfolio defense or MSR recapture arrangements) if the related Transfer Date for such MSRPA Servicing Agreement occurred except as otherwise set forth in this Exhibit 8.
The New RMSR Agreement will be based, to the extent possible, unless explicitly prohibited by Applicable Requirements (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement) or any other contractual requirements in effect as of the Effective Date, including any MSRPA Servicing Agreement, upon the NRM Subservicing Agreement, consistent with any changes contemplated by the items described below and such other changes mutually agreed in writing by Holdings and Seller:
1.
Seller, not NRM, will be the named servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, under the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements subject to the New RMSR Agreement. Seller shall service the related Mortgage Loans in respect of the MSRPA Servicing Agreements in a manner substantially similar to the NRM Subservicing Agreement but for the benefit of the Purchasers because of the Purchasers’ interests in the related Rights to MSRs and other interests under the RMSR Servicing Agreement. Subject to Applicable Requirements (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement), the Purchasers shall have substantively the same rights and interests (including any and all applicable representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities) in connection with the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans under the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements subject to the New RMSR Agreement that NRM has under the NRM Subservicing Agreement, as long as Seller is servicing the loans, including, but not limited to, rights to receive reports and data from Seller, vendor oversight of Seller's vendors, rights related to REO downstream services, and audit rights of Seller. Seller shall not be required to take an action with respect to a Change Request (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement) which, in Seller’s reasonable opinion, may violate Applicable Requirements (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement) as detailed in an Initial Response Notice (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement).
2.
Holdings will pay Seller the same fees and other compensation under the New RMSR Agreement for any applicable MSRPA Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans that NRM would have otherwise paid Seller under the NRM Subservicing Agreement for such MSRPA Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans had the related Transfer Date had occurred. The Purchasers will be entitled to all other economic interests under the related Servicing Rights (either under the New RMSR Agreement or because of their ownership of the Rights to MSRs under the MSR Purchase Agreement and the Sale Supplements) in the same





manner that NRM would have under the NRM Subservicing Agreement had the related Transfer Date occurred. Seller will, subject to Applicable Requirements and any other contractual requirements as in effect as of the Effective Date, refer to a Purchaser or a Purchaser’s designee all services giving rise to Downstream Ancillary Income (as defined in the NRM Subservicing Agreement) in respect of the relevant MSRPA Servicing Agreements. Seller will not receive any fees or other compensation for such referrals.
3.
Seller will sell (and Holdings will purchase) all related Servicing Advance Receivables in a manner consistent with Article 3 of the Sale Supplements.
4.
The Purchasers shall not be required to pay any consideration to Seller in connection with any assignment of any Clean Up Call Rights to Purchaser (or any Purchaser’s designee), but the Purchasers (or any applicable designee) will be required to comply with provisions related to “Securitization Transactions” substantially identical to those contemplated by the NRM Subservicing Agreement.
5.
Seller will grant to each of the Purchasers a security interest in Collateral in scope consistent with Article 9 of the Sale Supplements to secure Seller’s obligations under the New RMSR Agreement.
6.
Upon either Purchaser’s written direction, Seller and Purchasers shall use best efforts to transfer any Servicing Rights subject to the New RMSR Agreement to NRM. Any such transfer will be subject to obtaining any requisite third-party consents. Upon any such transfer, the related Servicing Rights will be subject to the NRM Subservicing Agreement. To the extent any costs of such transfers are incurred on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the related MSRPA Servicing Agreement becoming subject to the New RMSR Agreement, such will be allocated in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. To the extent any particular cost arises after the one year anniversary of the related MSRPA Servicing Agreement becoming subject to the New RMSR Agreement, (i) such cost shall be paid by the Purchasers if the NRM Subservicing Agreement has been terminated when such cost is incurred, and (ii) such cost will be allocated in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement if the NRM Subservicing Agreement has not terminated when such cost is incurred. In the event the parties are unable to transfer any Servicing Rights, the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements will remain subject to the New RMSR Agreement until the Servicing Rights can be transferred.
7.
If NRM terminates the NRM Subservicing Agreement without cause, Seller and Purchasers shall use best efforts to transfer any Servicing Rights subject to the New RMSR Agreement to a party selected by Holdings as promptly as practical. Any such transfer will be subject to obtaining any requisite third-party consents and the cooperation of the Purchasers. Purchasers will be entitled to keep all of the proceeds of any such transfer. In such a case of transfer without cause, Seller will be entitled to compensation consistent with the compensation for a termination without cause contemplated by the NRM Subservicing Agreement, including, without limitation,





with respect to process and timing. The Purchasers will pay the costs of any such transfer. In the event the parties are unable to transfer any Servicing Rights, the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements will remain subject to the New RMSR Agreement until the Servicing Rights can be transferred.
8.
If NRM terminates the NRM Subservicing Agreement for cause, Seller and Purchasers shall use best efforts to transfer any Servicing Rights subject to the New RMSR Agreement to a party selected by Holdings as promptly as practicable. Any such transfer will be subject to obtaining any requisite third-party consents and the cooperation of the Purchasers. Purchasers will be entitled to keep all of the proceeds of any such transfer. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any such transfer shall be subject to terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth in Section 5.4 of the NRM Subservicing Agreement, including without limitation, with respect to processes and timing, except that the costs of any such transfer will be paid by Seller to the extent such costs are incurred on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the related MSRPA Servicing Agreement becoming subject to the New RMSR Agreement, and any costs arising thereafter shall be paid by the Purchasers. In the event the parties are unable to transfer any Servicing Rights, the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements will remain subject to the New RMSR Agreement until the Servicing Rights can be transferred.
9.
The “Step-Up Fee” contemplated by Section 5.4(d) of the NRM Subservicing Agreement will not apply in respect of the New RMSR Agreement.
10.
Subject to the penultimate sentence of this documentation principle, in the event that a Purchaser directs Seller to engage a third party to act as subservicer and to perform any primary servicing obligations in respect of the MSRPA Servicing Agreements, (A) such third party shall be reasonably acceptable to Seller and shall be licensed and qualified as a subservicer under such MSRPA Servicing Agreements, and (B) Seller shall be entitled to (i) indemnification from Purchasers in respect of acts or omissions of any such subservicer in connection with the subservicing of the related mortgage loans (which indemnification shall be no less favorable to Seller than the indemnification in favor of NRM in the NRM Subservicing Agreement), and (ii) substantially the same reporting and information access in respect of the related mortgage loans from any such subservicer as Seller is required to deliver NRM under the NRM Subservicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Purchaser shall have the right to direct Seller to engage a third party to act as subservicer or to perform any primary servicing obligations in respect of any MSRPA Servicing Agreement unless any Purchaser or Seller has reasonably demonstrated that the Servicing Rights in respect of such MSRPA Servicing Agreement cannot be otherwise transferred in accordance with the terms of such MSRPA Servicing Agreements. The terms and conditions of any subservicing agreement by and among Seller and such third-party subservicer relating to reporting, oversight and indemnification shall be no less favorable to Seller than the terms and conditions of the NRM Subservicing Agreement.





11.
The initial term of the New RMSR Agreement will be the same as the initial term of the NRM Subservicing Agreement. Upon either Purchaser’s direction therefor following the expiration of the New RMSR Agreement, Seller and Purchasers shall use best efforts to transfer any Servicing Rights subject to the New RMSR Agreement to a party selected by Holdings. Any such transfer will be subject to obtaining any requisite third-party consents and the cooperation of the Purchasers. Purchasers will be entitled to keep all of the proceeds of any such transfer. To the extent any particular cost arises in connection with any such transfer, (i) such cost shall be paid by the Purchasers if the NRM Subservicing Agreement has been terminated or has otherwise expired when such cost is incurred, and (ii) such cost will be allocated in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement if the NRM Subservicing Agreement has not terminated when such cost is incurred. In the event that the term of the New RMSR Agreement expires and the parties are unable to transfer any Servicing Rights, the related MSRPA Servicing Agreements will remain subject to the New RMSR Agreement, on the same economic terms as immediately before the expiration, until the Servicing Rights can be transferred.

Each such indemnified Party (or Party eligible for reimbursement) shall furthermore reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying Party (or responsible Party), at the indemnifying (or responsible Party’s) reasonable request and expense, in connection with any efforts by the indemnifying Party (responsible Party) to mitigate such Loss.

The party providing Confidential Information in each case shall be called the “Disclosing Party” and the party receiving the Confidential Information shall be called the “Recipient”. With respect to all such Confidential Information, the Recipient shall (i) act in accordance and comply with all Applicable Requirements (including, without limitation, security and privacy laws with respect to its use of such Confidential Information), (ii) maintain, and shall require all third parties that receive Confidential Information from the Recipient as permitted hereunder to maintain, effective information security measures to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure or use, and (iii) provide the Disclosing Party with information regarding such security measures upon the reasonable request of the Disclosing Party and promptly provide the Disclosing Party with information regarding any failure of such security measures or any security breach. The Recipient shall hold the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, exercising no less care with respect to such Confidential Information than the level of care exercised with respect to the Recipient’s own similar Confidential Information and in no case less than a reasonable standard of care, and shall not copy, reproduce, summarize, quote, sell, assign, license, market, transfer or otherwise dispose of, give or disclose such information to third parties or use such information for any purposes other than the provision of the services to the Disclosing Party without the prior written authorization of the Disclosing Party. In addition, the Recipient shall not use the Confidential Information to make any contact with any of the parties identified in the Confidential Information without the prior authorization of the Disclosing Party, except in the course of performing its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

(d)    The obligations under this Section 11.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.20    Tax Treatment of Sales of Servicing Rights.

In the event, however, that it were to be determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not an absolute transfer, this Agreement constitutes a security agreement under applicable law, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a first priority perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Servicing Rights with respect to which the Transfer Date has occurred, and the related Custodial Funds and Servicing Files to secure the Seller’s obligations hereunder and under any agreement, document or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement. The Seller authorizes and agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser, and the Purchaser may file, at the expense of the Purchaser, any financing statements (and continuation statements and amendments to such financing statements) reasonably acceptable to Seller with respect to the Servicing Rights, now existing and hereafter created, meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and to the Servicing Rights.

Except for HLSS Holdings, LLC and each Person indicated in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein expressed or implied gives or may be construed to give to any Person, other than the Parties and such respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. The parties hereby designate HLSS Holdings, LLC as an express third-party beneficiary

37





of this Agreement having the right to enforce the terms herein. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth above, the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that Mortgagors are not third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
Section 11.22    Severability. The failure or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 11.23    Reproduction of Documents. This Agreement and all documents relating hereto, including (a) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be executed and (b) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished, may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar process. The parties agree that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.
Section 11.24    Limited Effect. Except as expressly set forth above or in the attachments hereto, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, claim, cause of action, power or remedy of any party hereto, whether arising before or after the date of this Agreement, or constitute a waiver of any provision of any other agreement.

Section 11.28    Amendment; Waivers. No amendment or modification of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge or waiver is sought. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. The failure of a party hereto at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof or claim damages with respect thereto shall in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the same.

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Owner/Servicer shall continue to own the Servicing Rights following the related Transfer Date.
(b)    With respect to non-Prior Ocwen Serviced Loans, the Subservicer shall cooperate with the Owner/Servicer in connection with obtaining any necessary consents or approvals required for the Subservicer to act as subservicer under the applicable Servicing Agreements, including responding to requests for information regarding the Subservicer by or on behalf of the related Investor and other third parties.

(d)    Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge that one or more portfolios of Mortgage Loans that become subject to this Agreement are or may be serviced or subserviced by the Subservicer immediately preceding the Transfer Date (each, a “Prior Ocwen Serviced Loan”) and that no physical transfer of servicing shall be required with respect to such Prior Ocwen Serviced Loan except as may be necessary to reflect the Owner/Servicer’s ownership of the Servicing Rights and any related requirements under Applicable Requirements.

(a)    The Subservicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer each Mortgage Loan and REO Property in compliance with all Applicable Requirements and, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Subservicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Subservicer may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

-21-





inquiries or correspondence, payments or payoff funds, or similar matters within the Subservicer’s responsibilities hereunder that Owner/Servicer may receive; provided that Subservicer and Owner/Servicer have had prior discussion related to such failure to perform and so long as Owner/Servicer has given Subservicer one (1) Business Day prior written notice of its intent to so perform, the Owner/Servicer may perform any non-borrower facing activity required under a Servicing Agreement that the Subservicer fails to perform in accordance with such applicable Servicing Agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in a material Loss to Owner/Servicer, including but not limited to an event of default or other termination event under the applicable Servicing Agreement. Where Applicable Requirements appear to be in conflict, the Subservicer shall notify the Owner/Servicer of such conflict, and the parties shall address such conflict in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(c).

-50-





To the extent any Servicing Agreement does not have provisions or otherwise contemplate the prioritization for recovery of Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees and/or P&I Advances, the Subservicer shall calculate any loss at liquidation associated with nonrecoverable advances in a manner that minimizes such loss to the Owner/Servicer (i.e., utilizing loan-level proceeds to reduce items which do not benefit from a general collections backstop before items which may be reimbursed on a pool-level basis).

The Subservicer will cooperate in good faith in connection with any audit, inspection, review, or investigation of the Subservicer’s compliance with or reporting under HAMP or other government program related to the Mortgage Loans.
The Owner/Servicer shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to enable HAMP fees to be paid to Subservicer.

The Subservicer shall be entitled to all amounts, to the extent paid, allowed to a servicer from time to time by any governmental or quasi-governmental programs or PMI Companies, as applicable, for engaging in Loss Mitigation with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Owner/Servicer shall be entitled to the Float Benefit, which amounts (i) shall be remitted by the Subservicer to the Owner/Servicer as part of the Owner/Servicer Economics pursuant to Section 2.8(f) to the extent the applicable Custodial Account(s) or Escrow Account(s) are not in the name of the Owner/Servicer and (ii) Owner/Servicer shall withdraw directly from the applicable Custodial Account(s) or Escrow Account(s) to the extent the applicable Custodial Account(s) or Escrow Account(s) are in the name of the Owner/Servicer.

ARTICLE V
TERM AND TERMINATION
Section 5.1.    Term.
(a)    The initial term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date until the date that is the fifth (5th) year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.1 and Section 5.6, the Subservicer shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. If this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated pursuant to this Article V, then the term of this Agreement for the Subservicer shall automatically be renewed for successive one (1) year terms after the expiration of the Initial Term. The Subservicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by Subservicer or the Owner/Servicer. If Subservicer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.6, such termination shall be treated as a termination without cause by Owner/Servicer under this Agreement. If Subservicer resigns, such resignation of the Subservicer shall be treated as a termination for cause by Owner/Servicer under this Agreement. Any such determination that Subservicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel written by a law firm reasonably acceptable to Owner/Servicer to such effect in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Owner/Servicer.
(b)    During the Initial Term, the Owner/Servicer may terminate this Agreement in whole, but not in part (unless otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement) for convenience, by delivering written notice of such termination to the Subservicer. Following the Initial Term, the term of this Agreement may be extended by the Owner/Servicer for successive three (3) month renewal periods (which, if extended, shall commence on the expiration date of the then-current term and end on the calendar day that is the three (3) month anniversary of the preceding term’s expiration date (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day immediately following such day)), by delivering written notice of such three month extension (which may be by electronic mail). Such notice shall be delivered at least thirty (30) calendar days preceding such extension (or if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such day), provided that any such extension notice that is delivered prior to the expiration of the then current term shall be effective. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to any other provision in this Article V, this Agreement shall terminate at the expiration of the then-current term if the Owner/Servicer fails to notify the Subservicer of a three (3) month extension prior to such expiration.
(c)    The Subservicer may terminate this Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or at the end of any subsequent one year term, in whole but not in part upon written notice to the Owner/Servicer at least two-hundred twenty five (225) days prior to the end of the applicable term.
(d)    Any Mortgage Loans removed from a Servicing Agreement pursuant to the exercise of an early termination or other reconstitution provision and (i) included in a

-63-





Securitization Transaction (a “Resecuritized Transaction”) where the applicable Securitization Servicing Agreement or Interim Servicing Agreement is reasonably acceptable to the Subservicer shall be removed from this Agreement and shall be serviced by the Subservicer pursuant to such Securitization Servicing Agreement or Interim Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or (ii) not included in the related Securitization Transaction shall be removed from this Agreement and shall be serviced by the Subservicer under an Interim Servicing Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Termination Fee, deboarding fee or other compensation (other than accrued Subservicer Economics) shall be payable to Subservicer for a termination under this Section 5.1(d). The Subservicer shall use its best efforts to remain in good standing with the Rating Agencies and otherwise comply with the requirements of Rating Agencies. With respect to any Resecuritized Transaction in which the Subservicer has agreed to execute the applicable Securitization Servicing Agreement but is otherwise not permitted to service in such Resecuritized Transaction solely as a result of the requirement of the related Rating Agency (which is rating such Resecuritized Transaction) (in either case, a "Barred Transaction"), the Owner/Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to consult with the applicable Rating Agencies and reasonably advocate for the Subservicer's participation in such Barred Transaction (and such participation does not have, or result in, any adverse impact or effect on the Owner/Servicer, the related Barred Transaction and/or the securities being issued thereunder). The Owner/Servicer shall not select any Rating Agency with the sole intention of excluding the Subservicer from participating in a Barred Transaction.

Subservicer and Owner/Servicer will each promptly notify the other of any communication received in connection with a Servicing Agreement (and promptly deliver a copy of such communication to the other party) (i) from a trustee, master servicer (or other party entitled, or purporting to be entitled, to terminate) that is a solicitation of holders for a vote, or a request for direction regarding termination or (ii) from, or on behalf of, a trustee, master servicer (or other party entitled, or purporting to be entitled, to terminate) stating that such trustee, master servicer or other party has an intention to terminate Owner/Servicer or Subservicer as servicer, subservicer or master servicer under such Servicing Agreement.  The parties will fully cooperate to resolve any such matter to avoid termination. To the extent Subservicer or the Owner/Servicer is terminated under any Servicing Agreement related to any Mortgage Loan subserviced hereunder and either (x) the basis of such termination is resulting from, arising out of or related to any enumerated items set forth in Section 8.2 (other than as a result of any delinquency or loss triggers with respect to such Servicing Agreement) or (y) other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which any optional termination or clean-up call right has been exercised pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement or any Mortgage Loan subject to the Servicing Agreements set forth in Schedule 8.1, such termination was “without cause,” “for convenience” or on a similar basis and the related Servicing Agreement was terminable by the applicable Investor on such basis as of the Servicing Transfer Date, then, in each case, the Subservicer shall remit to the Owner/Servicer the Average Third Party Mark of the affected Servicing Rights within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such Average Third Party Mark (the “Average Third Party Mark Payment”); provided that in the case of any termination described in clause (y) above, the Average Third Party Mark Payment will be reduced by any termination or similar payments received by the Owner/Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in connection with such termination; provided, further, that if any such termination payments exceed the Average Third Party Mark of the affected Servicing Rights, the Owner/Servicer will pay such excess to the Subservicer.

(e)    any Compensatory Fees or other Governmental Entity-imposed fees, penalties or curtailments imposed on the Owner/Servicer related to (a) any Mortgage Loan foreclosures exceeding the applicable Governmental Entity’s required timelines or (b) other servicing acts or omissions relating to the Mortgage Loans, in each case relating to or arising from the Subservicer’s failure to meet a timeline or requirement under the applicable Governmental Entity Guidelines on or after the related Transfer Date, but only to the extent and amount such Compensatory Fee or other fee, penalty or curtailment is attributable to the Subservicer; or
(f)    the matters for which Subservicer is required to indemnify the Owner/Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3;
provided, however, the Subservicer shall not be obligated to indemnify the Owner/Servicer (i) with respect to any liabilities, Claims, costs or expenses which are covered in Section 8.3 or (ii) to the extent such Loss is due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Owner/Servicer or any of its Affiliates or the Owner/Servicer’s breach of this Agreement.
Section 8.3.    Indemnification by the Owner/Servicer.
Except as otherwise stated herein, the Owner/Servicer shall indemnify and hold the Subservicer harmless against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of:

(f)    any event of termination described in Section 5.6;
provided, however, the Owner/Servicer shall not be obligated to indemnify the Subservicer (i) with respect to any liabilities, Claims, costs or expenses which are covered in Section 8.2 or (ii) to the extent such Loss is due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Subservicer, Corporate Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or the Subservicer’s breach of this Agreement.
Section 8.4.    Indemnification Procedures.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Sections 8.2 or 8.3 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under Sections 8.2 or 8.3, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Sections 8.2 or 8.3, except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect, or from any liability that it may have, otherwise than under Sections 8.2 or 8.3. The indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any such claim (provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees, and promptly pay, discharge, and satisfy any judgment or decree that may be entered against it or the indemnified party in respect of such claim. 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. 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.

-82-





Each party that is eligible for indemnification under Sections 8.2 or 8.3 for reimbursement for costs and expenses under this Agreement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with requirements of Applicable Requirements with respect to mitigation of damages to mitigate such Loss and; provided, however, that the failure to mitigate by either party shall not affect the indemnifying party’s obligation to indemnify the indemnified party except to the extent such failure to mitigate results in any material prejudice to the indemnifying party and then only to the extent of such material prejudice and a violation of requirements of Applicable Requirements with respect to mitigation of damages.
Section 8.6.    Survival.

Each party will be excused from performance under this Agreement, except for any payment obligations for services that have been or are being performed hereunder, for any period and to the extent that it is prevented from performing, in whole or in part, as a result of delays caused by the other party or any act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute, or other cause beyond its reasonable control, including failure, fluctuations, or unavailability of heat, light, air conditioning, or telecommunications equipment (a “Force Majeure Event”). A party excused from performance pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder and shall thereafter continue with reasonable due diligence and good faith to remedy its inability to so perform, except that nothing herein shall obligate either party to settle a strike or labor dispute when it does not wish to do so.

(d)    The obligations under this Section 10.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(e)    In addition to the foregoing, the parties agree that any information provided hereunder shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2015 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), by and between New Residential Investment Corp. and Subservicer; provided that if there exists any conflict between this Agreement and the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
Section 10.13.    Further Assurances.
Each of the Owner/Servicer and the Subservicer shall cooperate with and assist the other party as reasonably requested in connection with such other party’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and in connection therewith shall execute and deliver all such papers, documents and instruments as may be necessary and appropriate in furtherance thereof.

-89-





The Subservicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Owner/Servicer, the Affiliates of Owner/Servicer, any third-party originator, servicer and/or other service provider engaged by the Owner/Servicer to provide portfolio defense services, any Rating Agency, any trustee, bond insurers, Owner/Servicer's lender(s), any agents or consultants of Owner/Servicer, any regulator of the Owner/Servicer, any third-party due diligence provider and/or any prospective purchaser(s), in each case, with respect to any proposed Securitization Transactions, any financings contemplated by the Owner/Servicer, and/or any other activity reasonably requested by the Owner/Servicer related to the Mortgage Loans, Servicing Rights, Servicing Advances or P&I Advances. The Owner/Servicer will pay Subservicer’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs related to such cooperation and, with respect to the servicing advance facilities, consistent with the caps and limitations set forth on Exhibit O attached hereto.

Section 10.14.    Execution of Agreement.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 10.15.    Publicity.
The Subservicer and the Corporate Parent shall not issue any media releases, public announcements and public disclosures, relating to this Agreement or use the name or logo of the Owner/Servicer, including, without limitation, in promotional or marketing material or on a list of customers, without the prior written consent of the Owner/Servicer; provided, that nothing in this paragraph shall restrict compliance with this Agreement or any disclosure required by legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Subservicer acknowledges and agrees that, in the event it files bankruptcy under 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), this Agreement is an “executory contract” within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, the Subservicer shall have no right to modify on any basis whatsoever (other than in accordance with the terms hereof), including without limitation Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement in any such bankruptcy proceeding and hereby irrevocably waives any such right. Further, the Subservicer acknowledges and agrees that its services provided under this Agreement are essential and should the Subservicer fail to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Owner/Servicer shall suffer irreparable harm and, consequently, the Owner/Servicer shall have the right to seek on an expedited basis an order from the bankruptcy court: (a) lifting the Section 362 automatic stay so as to permit

-90-





the Owner/Servicer to terminate this Agreement; and (b) compelling the Subservicer to immediately assume or reject this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event this Agreement is rejected under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, this Agreement shall be terminated and the Subservicer agrees to immediately comply with its obligations under this Agreement with respect to termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof. Finally, the Subservicer acknowledges and agrees that Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code has no application to this Agreement and, even if it did, the Subservicer hereby expressly waives any right to surcharge the Owner/Servicer under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 10.17.    Restrictions of Notices; Information and Disclosure.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require any party to provide any notice, information, investigation, audit, correspondence, and any other communication (collectively, “Information”) to any other party (1) if providing such Information is prohibited by Applicable Requirements or any other contractual or legal obligation or legal restriction or (2) upon any advice of counsel (which may be internal counsel), if providing such Information may cause such party to lose attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or other similar protections (governed by the applicable jurisdiction); provided that, in the case of clause (1), except with respect to any such prohibition imposed by a Governmental Authority, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, the disclosing party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent to such disclosure from the applicable third party unless disclosing party reasonably believes that such consent will not be attainable.

Exhibit C-1-2





EXHIBIT C-2
TERMINATION FEE CALCULATION
Definitions
Deal-Level UPB:  By Ocwen investor code (“deal”), the unpaid principal balance of Mortgage Loans associated with each deal will be fixed for the purposes calculations under this Exhibit C-2 as of the month-end following Subservicer’s receipt of notification of termination without cause.  To the extent Mortgage Loans serviced under RMSR 2.0 are transferred to a third party while this Agreement is still in effect,  Deal-Level UPB will be based on the month-end UPB immediately preceding such transfer date.

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) 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: 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 in the first 5 years of this Agreement 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.

FORMATTED SERVICING REPORTS


To be mutually agreed upon following the Effective Date but shall be consistent with the formats previously agreed upon and otherwise substantially similar to the most recent drafts circulated prior to the Effective Date and shall be populated by the Subservicer within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date.




Exhibit E-1-1





EXHIBIT F
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS

The following constitute the SLAs with respect to primary and subservicing (the “SLAs”), as may be updated from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof:

***

Notes to Primary/Subservicing SLAs:

As a reference population, “Total Servicing Portfolio” means, for any measurement period, all mortgage loans serviced by Subservicer, other than (1) mortgage loans with respect to which the Subservicer is solely performing master servicing functions, (2) reverse mortgage loans and (3) commercial mortgage loans. “NRM Portfolio” means, as of any date of determination, all mortgage loans serviced by Subservicer under any agreement between the Subservicer and the Owner/Servicer or any of its Affiliates, excluding (1) mortgage loans with respect to which the Subservicer is solely performing master servicing functions, (2) reverse mortgage loans and (3) commercial mortgage loans.
The penalty amount is the baseline penalty assessed in case the penalty threshold is exceeded. This baseline value is subject to a multiplier of either two or three, depending on whether the double penalty threshold or the triple penalty threshold, respectively, is exceeded.
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. The same applies to all relevant SLAs in case of major changes to a particular area of Subservicer’s servicing (for example, foreclosure activities).
Penalties can only be assessed for a particular frequency period if the penalty threshold was exceeded both in that frequency period and in the prior frequency period.
Penalties for SLAs will be waived by mutual agreement of the parties on the basis of major events beyond Subservicer’s control that could be reasonably expected to have a material impact on the NRM Portfolio, conflicts or issues with vendors selected by Owner/Servicer, regulatory changes, force majeure events, or events affecting the mortgage servicing industry as a whole and not specific to Subservicer. In these cases, the specific penalty and incentive thresholds and amounts may also be recalibrated on an ongoing basis or for a specific period of time upon mutual agreement. In addition, recalibrations of this sort will be mutually agreed to in case of changes to measurement methodologies and regulatory or investor requirements or requests.

Exhibit F-1





To the extent the parties do not mutually agree on the basis of any event or conditions giving rise to a waiver of all penalties, accelerated penalties or a recalibration of the penalty thresholds, the party requesting such waiver or recalibration shall provide a written justification for such request, with sufficient detail to permit the other party to evaluate and respond. If such party continues to dispute the basis of the requested waiver or recalibration, within a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days, the parties shall submit such matter to a dispute resolution process (other than litigation). Upon resolution, the successful party shall be entitled to recover as part of its claim its reasonable, out of pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, incurred in prosecuting such claim. To the extent any unpaid amounts are determined to be payable, such amounts will be paid at an annual rate of five percent (5%) over the Prime Rate.
For any SLA, if the total number of loans in the applicable population which serves as the denominator in the calculation falls below 100 for any month, (i) that month shall be excluded from monthly SLA calculations and (ii) such measurement period will increase from monthly to quarterly (or quarterly to annually, as applicable) so that there are 100 measurements.
For each SLA, performance statistics will be calculated on the basis of reference data with a typical trailing period of one month but no more than two months, except in cases where the SLA metric indicates a longer moving average calculation.
The maximum net penalty or incentive amount for all applicable SLAs in a given month is capped at 15% of the monthly base subservicing fee that Subservicer receives under the Subservicing Agreement, except during the 6 month period immediately following a major system change in which the maximum net penalty or incentive amount for all applicable SLAs in a given month for such 6-month period is then capped at 25% of the monthly base subservicing fee that Subservicer receives under the Subservicing Agreement.
The SLA reporting will begin with the data collected during the measurement period beginning on October 1, 2017, and the first reports of SLA data will be provided in December 2017; provided that, to the extent sufficient data is available to calculate metrics or estimates, Subservicer shall provide interim reporting during the period prior to December 2017 for such SLAs.
In addition to the Subservicer's other reporting obligations set forth in Section 2.8 of the Agreement, Subservicer will report on SLA metrics and calculations in a format reasonably requested by the Owner/Servicer, and as described below. Subservicer will report these calculations within the first five business days of the month, and any exceptions to the timeline are to be reported as soon as possible, with the applicable reports delivered no later than the tenth business of the month.
o
With respect to monthly SLAs, on a monthly basis, taking into account a one- or two-month trailing period, the Subservicer will provide the Owner/Servicer a report setting forth the following:

Exhibit F-2





§
the monthly performance metric for each monthly SLA and the monthly data that was used to calculate this metric or (i) notification of SLAs requiring a two-month trailing period and to be included on the following month’s report or (ii) reclassification of any monthly SLA as a quarterly SLA due to the decreased volume of the applicable population;
§
any complete waivers or waivers of double or triple penalties for any SLAs;
§
the applicable penalty or incentive rates for each SLA1; and
§
the penalty or incentive dollar amounts assessed for each SLA.
o
With respect to quarterly SLAs, in addition to monthly reports on the estimated performance metrics (to the extent available), on a quarterly basis, taking into account a one- or two-month trailing period, the Subservicer will provide the Owner/Servicer with a report setting forth the following:
§
the quarterly performance metric for each SLA and the relevant monthly data that was used to calculate this metric or (i) notification of SLAs requiring a two-month trailing period and to be included on the following month’s report or (ii) reclassification of any quarterly SLA as an annual SLA due to the decreased volume of the applicable population;
§
any complete waivers or waivers of double or triple penalties for any SLAs for any month in the applicable quarter;
§
the penalty or incentive rates for each SLA in each month of the applicable quarter2;
§
the penalty or incentive dollar amounts assessed for each SLA in each month of the applicable quarter; and
§
the total penalty or dollar amount assessed for the applicable quarter.
o
Reporting on annual SLAs (if applicable due to volume considerations) will be similar to the reporting for quarterly SLAs, with monthly estimates of performance metrics provided on a monthly basis (to the extent available) and definitive reports provided on an annual basis.
                                               
1 Note that in the case of waived SLAs, or SLAs where the penalty threshold was not exceeded in the prior frequency period, the penalty rate will be zero.
2 Note that this rate will be the same for each of the three months in the quarter unless a complete waiver or waiver of double or triple penalties was in effect for some but not all months of that quarter.


Exhibit F-3






The following constitute the service level agreements with respect to Master Servicing (the “Master Servicing SLAs”), as may be updated from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof:

***
Notes to Master Servicing SLAs:
As a reference population, “NRM Portfolio” means, for any measurement period, all mortgage loans with respect to which the Subservicer is performing master servicing functions under any agreement between the Subservicer and the Owner/Servicer or any of its Affiliates. “All Primary Servicers > 1,000 Loans” means, for any measurement period, all primary servicers that are servicing more than 1,000 loans in the NRM Portfolio.
All penalties and incentives for Master Servicing SLAs are calculated as a percentage of the monthly base subservicing fee that Subservicer receives for performing Master Servicing functions under the Subservicing Agreement (the “Monthly Sub-Master Servicing Fee”).
For each quarterly Master Servicing SLA, the Subservicer will assess performance during each of the three months of a given calendar quarter (with a trailing period of one month) and, when such performance assessments have been made for all three months of the quarter, the Subservicer will calculate the average of the monthly performance metrics, which will be the “quarterly performance metric” for such Master Servicing SLA.
Penalty and incentive rates for each quarterly Master Servicing SLA will be assessed on a monthly basis by comparing the quarterly performance metric for the calendar quarter in which that month occurs with each of the penalty, exception and incentive thresholds that are applicable in that month.
With respect to each quarterly Master Servicing SLA, the dollar amount of the penalty or incentive for each month is the product of the Monthly Sub-Master Servicing Fee and the penalty or incentive rate for that month. The dollar amount of the penalty or incentive for each calendar quarter is the sum of the penalties or incentives for each of the three months in that calendar quarter.
Annual Master Servicing SLAs will be assessed in an analogous manner to quarterly Master Servicing SLAs, except that the adjustments to the monthly performance metric will be based on annual rather than quarterly adjustments.
Penalties can only be assessed for a particular frequency period if the penalty threshold was exceeded both in that frequency period and in the prior frequency period.

Exhibit F-4





In the case of any system conversion relating to Master Servicing core systems (SBO2000, DDS, DMS), penalties will be assessed on the basis of the exception threshold instead of the penalty threshold. In addition, (a) for any Master Servicing SLA in the “Securities Administration” category, the exception threshold will apply in case either (i) the number of cleanup calls involving loans in the reference population in a given month exceeds twenty (20) or (ii) the number of new deals involving loans in the reference population in a given month is greater than or equal to five (5); and (b) for any Master Servicing SLA in the “Servicer Management” or “Loan Operations” categories, the exception threshold will apply in case of the addition of three (3) or more new primary servicers in a given month. Exception thresholds will apply for three (3) consecutive months including the month during which the exception event occurs.
Penalties for Master Servicing SLAs may be waived by the parties on the basis of major events beyond Ocwen’s control, conflicts or issues with vendors selected by NRM, regulatory changes, force majeure events, or events affecting the mortgage servicing industry as a whole and not specific to Ocwen. In these cases, the specific penalty and incentive thresholds and rates may also be recalibrated on an ongoing basis or for a specific period of time. In addition, recalibrations of this sort will be considered in case of changes to measurement methodologies and regulatory or investor requirements or requests.
Any newly boarded loans will not be included in the referenced population for the purpose of calculations for a period of time agreed to by the parties, after which period the thresholds may be recalibrated by mutual agreement of the parties. In addition, any loans that are impacted by errors or delays caused by prior servicers will be excluded from the referenced population.
If the total number of securitization trusts in the NRM Portfolio falls below 400, all Master Servicing SLAs will be recalibrated.
To the extent the parties do not mutually agree on the basis of any event or conditions giving rise to a waiver of all penalties, accelerated penalties or a recalibration of the penalty thresholds, the party requesting such waiver or recalibration shall provide a written justification for such request, with sufficient detail to permit the other party to evaluate and respond. If such party continues to dispute the basis of the requested waiver or recalibration, within a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days, the parties shall submit such matter to a dispute resolution process (other than litigation). Upon resolution, the successful party shall be entitled to recover as part of its claim its reasonable, out of pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, incurred in prosecuting such claim. To the extent any unpaid amounts are determined to be payable, such amounts will be paid at an annual rate of five percent (5%) over the Prime Rate.
The Master Servicing SLA reporting will begin with the data collected during the measurement period beginning on the later of (i) October 1, 2017 and (ii) the first

Exhibit F-5





of the month following the date on which Subservicer begins Master Servicing under this Agreement.
In addition to reports on monthly estimates for Master Servicing SLA performance metrics, within the first five business days of the second month of each calendar quarter, Subservicer will provide Owner/Servicer with a report setting forth:
o
the quarterly performance metric for each of the Master Servicing SLAs from the prior calendar quarter and all monthly data that was used in the calculation of this metric;
o
any exception events that occurred in the prior calendar quarter and, for each Master Servicing SLA and each month of the prior calendar quarter, whether the exception threshold applied in that month;
o
the penalty or incentive rates for each Master Servicing SLA in each month of the prior calendar quarter3;
o
the penalty or incentive dollar amounts assessed for each Master Servicing SLA in each month of the prior calendar quarter; and
o
the total penalty or incentive dollar amounts assessed for the prior calendar quarter.
Reporting on annual Master Servicing SLAs will be similar to the reporting for quarterly SLAs, with monthly estimates of performance metrics provided on a monthly basis and definitive reports provided on an annual basis.













                                               
3 Note that this rate will be the same for each of the three months in the calendar quarter unless the exception threshold applies in some but not all of these months

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).

Exhibit J-1





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 *** percent (***%) 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 J-2





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 or Vendors selected by the Owner/Servicer, 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
60+ Day Delinquent”: With respect to any Subject Loan, the Mortgage Loan that would be considered sixty (60) days or more contractually delinquent following the OTS Methodology.
90+ Day Delinquent”: With respect to any Subject Loan, the Mortgage Loan that would be considered ninety (90) days or more contractually delinquent following the OTS Methodology.
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 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.

Exhibit J-3

The Investor agrees that, for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date that is nine months after the date hereof, the Investor will not, and will cause any of its Permitted Transferees not to, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Shares, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect as the foregoing, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares; provided, however, that such restrictions shall not apply to (i) any assignment permitted by Section 5.6 hereof and (ii) any disposition to the extent Investor determines in its sole discretion that such disposition is reasonably necessary or advisable to permit Investor or any Affiliate of Investor (including any Permitted Transferee) to qualify or maintain its qualification for taxation as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code in circumstances where the potential failure to qualify or maintain such qualification results from any action taken by the Company.
Section 5.5    Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the Closing, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of the other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action (including reasonably cooperating and consulting with each other in connection with the making of all filings or notifications, if any, as may be required with any Governmental Authorities) as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the Sale and to

otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder or thereunder. Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate and use all reasonable efforts to vigorously contest and resist any litigation, suit, claim, action or proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that challenges the consummation of the Sale.
Section 5.6    Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, all the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. The Investor may not assign any of its rights hereunder to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee. Each Permitted Transferee of the Investor shall become subject to all of the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder hereto, and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits of and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to comply with all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, no transfer of rights permitted hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until (i) the Company shall have received written notice of such transfer and the joinder of the transferee to the Company and (ii) such transferee can establish beneficial ownership or ownership of record of Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.6 to the contrary, no assignment of this Agreement shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. Other than pursuant to this Section 5.6, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to or shall confer any rights, benefits or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Person other than the parties, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party.
