In such capacities, Barclays and Nomura will have the rights and authority customarily given to financial institutions in such roles and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, as more particularly set forth in the Definitive Documentation. Barclays shall appear on the left of all marketing and other materials in connection with the Facilities and will have the rights and responsibilities customarily associated with such name placement.
In connection with the foregoing:
(a) each of Barclays and Nomura is pleased to advise you of its several and not joint commitment to enter into Transactions under the New Forward Origination Facility Agreement with Ditech Financial during the Chapter 11 Period in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth on Part A of Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Committed Buyer;
(b) each of Barclays and Nomura is pleased to advise you of its several and not joint commitment to enter into Transactions under the New Reverse Mortgage Facility Agreement with RMS during the Chapter 11 Period in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth on Part B of Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Committed Buyer;
(c) Barclays is pleased to advise you of its several and not joint commitment to enter into Transactions under the New Servicing Advance Facility Agreements with the Sellers (or other relevant Debtors or non-Debtor subsidiaries of Sellers that are party thereto) during the Chapter 11 Period in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth on Part C of Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Committed Buyer;
in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this commitment letter (collectively with all exhibits and other attachments hereto, this Commitment Letter), the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A and forming a part hereof (collectively with all schedules attached to such exhibit, the Term Sheet), that certain facilities fee letter, dated the date hereof, among you and us (the Facilities Fee Letter), and that certain agency fee letter, dated the date hereof, among you and Barclays (the Barclays Fee Letter and, together with the Facilities Fee Letter, the Fee Letters).

The rights and obligations of each of the Committed Buyers and the Administrative Agent under this Commitment Letter shall be several and not joint, and no failure of any Committed Buyer or Administrative Agent to comply with any of its obligations hereunder shall prejudice the rights of any other unaffiliated Committed Buyer or Administrative Agent, as the case may be; provided that no Committed Buyer shall be required to fund any of the commitments of any other Buyer under any Facility in the event such other Buyer fails to do so (the Breaching Party), but each Committed Buyer under such Facility that is not a Breaching Party shall be offered an opportunity to fund in whole or in part such portion of the commitments of such Breaching Party under such Facility (the Accepting Party), in which event, the Accepting Party shall be entitled to all of the fees, rights or powers relating to such commitments that would otherwise be issued or granted to the Breaching Party (and, in the event of more than one Accepting Party under the relevant Facility, such funding shall be proportional to their respective pro rata portions of the commitments under such Facility, or as otherwise agreed among such Accepting Parties).

You hereby represent, warrant and covenant that (a) all written information (other than all financial projections (the Projections), other forward-looking and/or projected information and general economic or industry information) that has been or will be made available to Administrative Agent or any of the Committed Buyers by or on behalf of you or any of your affiliates or representatives (the Information), when taken as a whole, does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, when taken as a whole (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto), and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to Administrative Agent or any of the Committed Buyers by or on behalf of you or any of your affiliates or representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements of the Guarantor and upon assumptions that are reasonable at the time the related Projections are made available to Administrative Agent or any of the Committed Buyers (it being understood and agreed that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond your control and are not a guarantee of financial performance and actual results may differ from financial projections and such differences may be material). You agree that, if at any time prior to the entry of the Interim DIP Order and the effectiveness of, and initial funding under, the DIP Warehouse Facility Agreements (the DIP Closing) you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly (and prior to the DIP Closing) supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances. Each of the Committed Buyers and Administrative Agent will be entitled to use and rely upon, without responsibility to verify independently, the Information and the Projections.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no party hereto or
Commitment Letter
-4-
any of its respective affiliates or any of the other Indemnified Persons will have any responsibility or liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with its activities related to any of the Facilities; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit your indemnity obligations to the extent set forth in this Section 5. You shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Person affected thereby, settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the right of any Indemnified Person to claim indemnification hereunder unless such settlement (i) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnified Person and (ii) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
Your indemnity and reimbursement obligations under this Section 5 will be in addition to any liability that you may otherwise have and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of you and the Indemnified Persons.
6. Sharing Information; Absence of Fiduciary Relationship; Affiliate Activities.
You (on behalf of yourselves and your subsidiaries) acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and/or the Committed Buyers may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you or your subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein or otherwise. You (on behalf of yourselves and your subsidiaries) acknowledge that neither we nor our affiliates have any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you or any of your subsidiaries, confidential information obtained by us from other persons or companies.
