“SECTION 3. TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE RENOVATION SERVICES AND LEASING AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES. This Section 3 shall apply to the Renovation Services and Leasing and Property Management Services provided by Altisource to Residential pursuant to the Renovation SOW and the Property Management SOW, as amended by this Omnibus Amendment.
3.1 AMENDED SERVICE PERIODS FOR RENOVATION SERVICES AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The Service Period for Renovation Services provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Services Letter, the Fee Letter and the Renovation SOW shall end on December 31, 2018 (the “Renovation Services Amended Service Period”) unless terminated earlier or extended solely pursuant to this Section 3.1. The Service Period for Property Management Services provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Services Letter, the Fee Letter and the Property Management SOW shall end on December 31, 2018 (the “Property Management Services Amended Service Period”) unless terminated earlier or extended solely pursuant to this Section 3.1. So long as the Renovation SOW and the Property Management SOW, as applicable, have not been terminated prior to December 31, 2018, Residential shall have the option to extend the Renovation Services Amended Service Period, the Property Management Services Amended Service Period or both Service Periods (each, an “Amended Service
4
Period”) for up to an additional three (3) months by: (a) providing written notice to Altisource of its exercise of such option to extend and setting forth the number of months it desires to extend the applicable Amended Service Period (which, for clarity, shall not exceed three months), at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of each Amended Service Period (the “Option Exercise Notice”) and (b) paying to Altisource the Extension Option Amount within five (5) business days of the date of the Option Exercise Notice. The Option Exercise Notice shall set forth the applicable Service(s) for which Residential requires the extension and the number of months of the extension period. The “Extension Option Amount” means an amount equal to one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) multiplied by the total number of months of the extension period. For clarity, Altisource shall have no obligation to provide, and Residential hereby waives its rights to request and receive, any and all post-termination services as described in Section 6.5 of the Agreement with respect to the Renovation Services and the Property Management Services beyond the Amended Service Period, as may be adjusted under this Section 3.1.
3.2 RESIDENTIAL OFFERING EMPLOYMENT TO CERTAIN PERSONNEL. Residential shall be permitted to, and shall use good faith efforts to, hire certain of the Altisource personnel that currently are providing Renovation and Property Management Services to Residential (the “Subject Personnel”). The first such hire of Subject Personnel shall be made on or before October 1, 2018 (such dates, the “Permitted Transfer Dates”) and Residential shall be permitted to hire additional Subject Personnel on additional dates in 2018, provided that in all cases Residential may not hire any additional Subject Personnel at any time later than January 1, 2019 (the “Final Transfer Date”). On or prior to the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date, Altisource shall provide a job description, if available, the most recent performance rating and of the Altisource Employees available for hire under this Section 3.2 and will make available an appropriate manger to answer questions regarding the Altisource Employees. Within five (5) business days following the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date, Residential shall provide Altisource with a written proposal of the Subject Personnel to whom it desires to make employment offers and the schedule for such offers on or before October 1, 2018. On or before October 15, 2018, Residential shall provide Altisource with a written proposal of the Subject Personnel to whom it desires to make employment offers after October 1, 2018 and the schedule for such offers. The parties shall diligently discuss each such proposal and use good faith efforts to promptly agree upon the Subject Personnel and the applicable offer schedule. Residential shall provide Altisource with prompt written notice when such offers are communicated to such Subject Personnel. To the extent Residential determines in good faith that the agreed upon Subject Personnel or schedules need to be altered, Residential shall provide prompt written notice to Altisource and diligently engage with Altisource in good faith to agree upon necessary changes. In connection with all Subject Personnel hired by Residential, Residential shall assume, and shall be obligated to pay to such Subject Personnel, all amounts that would have been earned by such Subject Personnel for the remainder of the 2018 calendar year including without limitation, their base salaries, benefits and incentive compensation in amounts at least as much as they would have received pursuant to the applicable Altisource incentive compensation plan had such Subject Personnel remained employed by Altisource as of the date of payment of such compensation. Altisource shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the Subject Personnel during the period commencing on the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date and, in the case of each individual, ending on the earlier of (a) the date such individual is hired by Residential and (b) the Final Transfer Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commercially reasonable efforts shall not include, nor is Altisource under any obligation to, make or provide any
5
increase in compensation, benefits or ancillary perks of, or pay retention bonuses or amounts to, any Subject Personnel or otherwise incur any out-of-pocket costs in connection with the attempted retention of such Subject Personnel (other than payment of salaries of the Subject Personnel as of the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date). Altisource shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Renovation Services and Leasing and Property Management Services pursuant to the Renovation SOW and Property Management SOW, respectively, taking into account the reductions in personnel and reductions of properties to which such SOWs apply, regardless of whether such reductions are caused by a transfer of employment to Residential as contemplated under this Section 3.2, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 below. For clarity, Residential is not permitted to terminate any SOW pursuant Section 6.2.2.4 (Performance Standards) where such failure to achieve any applicable Performance Standards is caused or contributed to by Altisource’s lack or shortage of personnel to perform the Renovation Services or Leasing and Property Management Services.
3.3. RENTAL PROPERTY TRANSITION SCHEDULE. On or before August 8, 2018, Residential provided Altisource with a written Rental Property transition schedule (the “Transition Plan”) pursuant to which Residential provided time frames by which Residential would assume from Altisource all leasing and property management services for the Rental Properties that are subject to the Leasing and Property Management Services SOW (Services Letter – Schedule A-7) following the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date, thereby removing such Rental Properties at the time of transfer from coverage under the Leasing and Property Management Services SOW. Altisource shall use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to assist Residential in meeting the Transition Plan including, without limitation, transferring physical and actual ownership of the historical data with respect to the transitioned properties on or before the time that the properties are transitioned to Residential under the Transition Plan. Residential shall use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to conduct the Rental Property transition in accordance with the Transition Plan. To the extent Residential determines in good faith that the Transition Plan needs to be altered, including due to Altisource’s inability to transfer the historical data with respect to the properties to be transferred, Residential shall provide prompt written notice to Altisource and diligently engage with Altisource in good faith to agree upon necessary changes. Nothing in this Section shall limit, modify, be deemed to conflict with or otherwise relieve Residential’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.1.

This SOW is attached to, and incorporated into, that certain Services Letter, dated as of December 21, 2012, as amended by the Omnibus Amendment Agreement dated of even date herewith (as amended, the “Services Letter”) as Schedule A-8 to the Services Letter. Neither the Services Letter nor this SOW shall be construed or interpreted without the other.
2. | GOVERNED BY MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT. |
This SOW is governed by that certain Master Services Agreement by and between Altisource and
Residential and dated as of December 21, 2012, as amended and supplemented by the Parties from time to time (collectively, the “MSA”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated by this reference. This SOW shall not be construed or interpreted without the MSA.
3. | DEFINED TERMS. |
Definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this SOW are contained in Exhibit 1 to this SOW, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

(a) | Agency Services; |
(b) | Property Management Services; |

(d) | Sales Support Services; and |
(e) | Insurance Services. |
Except as expressly agreed and undertaken by Altisource in writing, Altisource shall have no obligation to provide any Services contemplated under the Services Letter for any Retail Property except for the Retail Management and Disposition Services specified in this SOW. For the avoidance of doubt, the Services described in Statement of Work (Acquisition and Sales Support) attached to the MSA as Schedule A-5 shall not apply to the Retail Properties.
4.2 | Agency Services. |
16
4.2.1 | Appointment. Residential hereby appoints Altisource, and Altisource hereby accepts this appointment, as Residential’s duly authorized representative, agent, attorney-in-fact and asset manager, as the context may require, for the purpose of delegating authority to Altisource in order to enable Altisource to perform the Retail Management and Disposition Services in connection with Retail Properties on Residential’s behalf as further described herein. |
4.2.2 | Powers of Attorney. Upon the written request of Altisource, Residential agrees to execute, or cause to be executed, and furnish to Altisource appropriate powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable Altisource to carry out its duties hereunder. |

4.3.1 | Preservation and Repair Services.

4.3.2 | Code Violation Management and Mitigation. Where code violations exist and Altisource has been provided notice of violations, Altisource will manage the mitigation of such code violations and negotiate code violation fines on behalf of Residential. Residential authorizes to Altisource to expend up to $[***] on any item on Residential’s behalf to mitigate any code violation without any further approval from Residential, including paying such amount as a fine, expending such amount in repair work or offering up to such amount as a seller concession to a buyer at closing. Any fine, remediation work item or a seller concession anticipated to exceed $[***] shall require Residential’s approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any fine is the result of Altisource’s failure to timely mitigate a violation for which Altisource was aware and could have reasonably cured such violation prior to accruing the fine, then Altisource shall be responsible for payment of such fine. |
4.3.3 | Management of Utilities and HOA. Altisource will provide utility activation and management for water, gas and electric utilities, and meet service providers where required to activate utilities for vacant property held by Residential.

Residential authorizes Altisource to expend on Residential’s behalf up to $[***] on any item in connection with any HOA violation or unpaid dues and fees without any further approval from Residential, including paying such amount as a fine, expending such amount on a repair work item or offering up to such amount as a seller concession to a buyer at closing. Any fine, remediation work item or a seller concession anticipated to exceed $[***] to resolve an HOA matter shall require Residential’s approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any fine is the result of Altisource’s failure to timely mitigate a violation for which Altisource was aware and could have reasonably cured such violation prior to accruing the fine, then Altisource shall be responsible for payment of such fine. |
4.3.4 | Property Tax Mitigation. Residential authorizes Altisource to, on Residential’s behalf, pay or otherwise offer a credit to buyer at closing to cover all unpaid taxes and assessments preventing a closing in an amount equal to the lessor of (i) the actual amount of the unpaid taxes and assessments, or (ii) [***] percent ([***] %) of the [***] of such Retail Property without any further approval from Residential. Payments or a seller concession relating to unpaid taxes and assessments in an amount exceeding the actual amounts of the unpaid taxes and assessments or [***] percent ([***]%) of the [***] shall require the approval of Residential. |
4.4 | Valuation Services. Altisource will provide Valuation Services in connection with Retail Properties pursuant to the Valuation Services SOW only as requested by Residential.

4.5.1 | Assignment of Broker. For each Retail Property, Altisource or its Affiliate will recommend to Residential a duly licensed real estate agent experienced in the market in which such Retail Property is situated (the “Referral Listing Agent”) to list and market the Retail Property. Altisource’s recommendation shall be accompanied by such Referral Listing Agent’s list of homes sold in the subject market in the last 12 months and any other relevant information requested by Residential for evaluating the Referral Listing Agent’s ability. Residential shall have 5 business days to approve or disapprove such Referral Listing Agent. Any failure by Residential to disapprove such Referral Listing Agent within this 5 business day period shall be deemed an approval of such Referral listing Agent. If the Referral Listing Agent is disapproved Altisource shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a new recommendation within 5 business days. If Residential approves or is deemed to have approved the Referral Listing Agent, then Residential authorizes Altisource to execute and enter into a listing agreement on Residential’s behalf with each Referral Listing Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, Altisource shall not be responsible or held liable for the errors and omissions of any Referral Listing Agent. Residential agrees that the Referral Listing Agent shall be authorized to act as a dual agent or other similar capacity such that the Referral Listing Agent would have obligations to both Residential as the seller and to the buyer of any Retail Property. Residential authorizes Altisource to execute on Residential’s behalf any consents, disclosures or other documents relating to the Referral Listing Agent’s dual agent capacity in accordance with local customs and practice. |
4.5.2 | Listing; Registration. Altisource will require that the Referral Listing Agent list the property in the local MLS in accordance with MLS guidelines and at a set list price as specified by Residential. Retail Properties shall not be marketed in a time-limited bidding format or otherwise be sold via an auction process or website without Residential’s approval. Additionally, Altisource shall request, and Residential hereby authorizes, that each Referral Listing Agent obtain any property registrations and inspections as required by local and state laws for any Retail Property.

(b) | Placing or using existing access devices on each Retail Property; and |

Residential shall not be obligated to pay any costs for marketing unless Altisource obtains Residential’s prior approval.
4.5.4 | Offers; Market Evaluation. Altisource shall instruct the Referral Listing Agent to communicate all offers to Altisource from prospective buyers. Altisource shall have the authority to accept on Residential’s behalf any offer which is (i) of at least [***] percent ([***]%) of the list price, and (ii) complies with local payment customs. During the period that is between the [***] and [***] day of being listed on the market without an acceptable purchase offer, Altisource may review the offer history and submit a revised marketing strategy to Residential for approval. All list price reductions shall require the approval of Residential. |
4.5.5 | Contracts. Altisource shall ensure that each Referral Agent is instructed to cause all contracts for the sale of Retail Property to: (a) be prepared using Residential’s preferred form of purchase and sale agreement (PSA) for single-family, residential real property, and (b) identify as Seller the Residential subsidiary holding title to the Property as provided by Residential. |
4.5.6 | Property Condition; Disclosures. Altisource will communicate to each Referral Listing Agent that each Residential Property has never been owner-occupied by Residential and that Residential is an institutional seller. Altisource will communicate to each Referral Agent that Residential prefers to sell each Retail Property on an “as-is, where-is” basis without any representations or warranties as to the condition of the property, improvements or appurtenances to the extent permissible under applicable laws. Residential shall provide Altisource with all information and documentation required to be disclosed by a seller of any Retail Property in the jurisdiction where each Retail Property is situated. If the Referral Listing Agent requires supplemental information or documentation or seller disclosures to comply with applicable laws, Residential agrees to provide all such information to Altisource and authorizes Altisource to cooperate with Referral Listing Agent to provide the requested information and execute such documentation as appropriate. |
18
4.5.7 | Earnest Money. Earnest money will be held by the entity designated in the PSA as providing escrow services in an amount as recommended by the Referral Listing Agent and agreed to in the PSA. Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, each sales contract will provide that in the event of default by purchaser, earnest money will be forfeited in full and the entire amount paid to Residential immediately upon demand. |
4.5.8 | Document Management and Closing. Altisource will coordinate with the title company, settlement agent and Referral Agent assigned to each closing to facilitate Residential’s receipt and review of all closing documents at Residential’s direction.
