(q) Sellers and Affiliate Sellers shall not modify the base salary, wages, benefits or other compensation of any employee who provides services Related to the Business or take any action that would accelerate, create or increase a right to payment to any Business Employee under any Plan, other than for increases in base salary or wages in the Ordinary Course of Business;

All such actions shall be at Purchaser’s cost and expense, and Sellers shall cooperate with, and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide assistance to, Purchaser in all such efforts.

Section 6.7 Employee Matters.

(a) (i) With respect to each Business Employee, not later than December 15, 2012, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with an updated version of the Business Employee List referenced in Section 4.13(a), reflecting the Business Employees then currently employed by a Seller and any changes in the information set forth therein. Sellers shall further update such Business Employee List from time to time prior to the Closing Date.

(ii) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, representatives of Sellers, Purchaser and the Walter Entity shall meet to discuss the employee needs of Sellers to complete the Post-Closing Pipeline and the Walter Entity to operate the Consumer Lending Platform post-Closing. Good faith consideration shall be given to an equitable distribution of management, operations, information systems and other personnel necessary to effectively operate the respective functions. Not later than January 15, 2013, Sellers, Purchaser and the Walter Entity shall finalize the respective lists with those Business Employees to be retained by Sellers being referred to as the “Retained Originations Employees” and “Retained ETS Employees” and those Business Employees to be transferred to (x) the Walter Entity being referred to as the “Transferred Originations Employees” and (y) Purchaser being referred to as the “Transferred ETS Employees”. Sellers, Purchaser and the Walter Entity shall also agree upon a list of any Retained Originations Employees and Retained ETS Employees who will be transferred to the Walter Entity or Purchaser post-Closing, along with an estimated schedule for such transfer. Any such employees shall be deemed Transferred Originations Employees or Transferred ETS Employees as of the date of transfer to the Walter Entity or Purchaser, as applicable. Subject to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 6.7(b), neither Purchaser nor the Walter Entity shall have any responsibility for Retained Originations Employees or Retained ETS Employees who are not transferred to the Walter Entity or Purchaser.

(b) Not later than January 15, 2013, Purchaser and the Walter Entity shall provide a list to Sellers of those Business Employees who will be offered employment by Purchaser or the Walter Entity effective as of the Closing Date (together with those employees on the list of Transferred Originations Employees and Transferred ETS Employees, the “Transferred Employee List”); provided that the severance obligation that would have been owed to personnel on the Transferred Employee List by the Sellers shall equal or exceed the Severance Threshold. No Seller shall preclude Purchaser or the Walter Entity from offering employment to any Business Employee or solicit any such Business Employee to refuse such offer of employment. It is understood and agreed that if the Transferred Employee List includes Business Employees to whom the Walter Entity will make offers of employment, the terms of this Section 6.7 that apply to Purchaser shall also apply to the Walter Entity.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall provide to each Business Employee on the Transferred Employee List an offer (the “Employment Offer”) of employment on the terms set forth in this Section 6.7, effective as of the later of the Closing Date or the date such Business Employee accepts such Employment Offer; provided that each Employment Offer shall be a Qualified Employment Offer (“Qualified Employment Offer”). A Qualified Employment Offer to a Business Employee shall not result in any of the following: (1) a substantial change in current duties for which the employee no longer qualifies; (2) a substantial change in current duties which results in a twenty percent (20%) or more reduction in salary; (3) a geographic transfer such that the distance over the shortest, most commonly traveled route from the Business Employee’s home to the new work location would be at least 50 miles greater than the distance from the Business Employee’s home to his or her current work location;; (4) base salary and target incentive opportunity that is less than 80% of such Business Employee’s current salary and incentive package. Each Business Employee who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment and who becomes an employee of Purchaser shall be a “Transferred Employee.” Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in effecting the Transferred Employees’ transfer of employment from Sellers to Purchaser as contemplated hereby.

(d) For at least one year following the Closing, to the extent that a Transferred Employee remains employed by Purchaser, subject to the terms of the applicable Employment Offer, Purchaser shall employ such Transferred Employee on terms and conditions not less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by Purchaser to similarly situated employees of Purchaser, including with respect to salary or wages, paid time off, bonus opportunity and employee benefits (it being understood and agreed that this sentence shall not require Purchaser to continue to employ any Transferred Employee). Sellers shall retain all responsibility for providing severance compensation and benefits to each Business Employee (including each Business Employee who is a Transferred Employee) to the extent such Business Employee is or becomes entitled to such severance compensation and benefits pursuant to any severance plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained by a Seller or any Affiliate thereof. To the extent that a Transferred Employee is terminated by the Purchaser without cause within the first year of employment by Purchaser and such termination qualifies for severance benefits, such severance benefits shall be equal to the severance benefits that such Transferred Employee would have been eligible for pursuant to Seller’s severance plan at the time of the Closing. Sellers shall retain all responsibility for paying retention bonuses or similar compensation to the extent not expressly assumed by Purchaser pursuant to this paragraph.

(e) Unless prohibited by Law or otherwise provided in an Employment Offer, all unused vacation and paid time off of the Transferred Employees accrued as of the Closing Date shall, effective as of the Closing Date or, if later, the date on which such Transferred Employee becomes an employee of Purchaser, be transferred to and assumed by Purchaser, and following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall recognize and provide all such unused paid time off to the extent such paid time off is reflected in the Closing Date Schedule of Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities. Sellers shall be responsible for paying out any earned and unused paid time off of (i) the Business Employees who are not Transferred Employees, and (ii) Transferred Employees to the extent such paid time off cannot be assumed by Purchaser in accordance with applicable Law (unless a Transferred Employee consents to such assumption by Purchaser, if allowed under applicable Law) or are not reflected in the Closing Date Schedule of Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities.

(f) Unless prohibited by Law, with respect to each Transferred Employee, Purchaser agrees to assume and honor all accrued but unpaid bonus compensation to the extent (i) such bonus compensation is reflected in the Closing Date Schedule of Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities and (ii) all terms and conditions applicable to such bonus compensation (including, the name of the recipient, the amount, as updated through the Closing Date, and the time and form of payment) are set forth on Section 4.13(a) of the Disclosure Memorandum. Sellers shall be responsible for paying all accrued but unpaid bonus compensation to the extent not assumed by Purchaser pursuant to this paragraph (including any amounts owed to Transferred Employees that are greater than the amount reflected on the Closing Date Schedule of Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities due to fluctuations in the value of equity on which such amounts are based or otherwise).

(g) Purchaser shall also recognize each Transferred Employee’s service at such Seller for all purposes (other than benefit accruals under defined benefit plans or retiree medical arrangements) under any Plans maintained by Purchaser for the benefit of the Transferred Employees to the extent such service was recognized under the same or comparable Plans that covered the Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(h) From and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall retain all (i) employment obligations with regard to those employees and former employees of Sellers (or who are otherwise Related to the Business) who are not Transferred Employees, and (ii) all liabilities related to any Transferred Employees to the extent such liability is not expressly assumed by Purchaser in this Section 6.7.

(i) The Sellers shall cause, effective as of the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee to become fully vested in his or her account balance under the Ally Financial Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”). To the extent not already provided for under the Seller 401(k) Plan, the Sellers shall amend, or cause to be amended, the Seller 401(k) Plan to provide for, with respect to any Transferred Employee who elects a “direct rollover” of his or her full account balance, the distribution and rollover of any promissory note evidencing a loan outstanding under the Seller 401(k) Plan.

(j) Without limiting the generality of Section 12.8, nothing in this Section 6.7 shall (a) be treated as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend, any employee benefit plan, (b) obligate Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates to retain the employment of any particular employee or (c) confer any rights or benefits on any person, including any Transferred Employee, other than the parties to this Agreement. Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on information provided by Sellers with respect to any Business Employee Liabilities and the performance of its obligations under this Section 6.7.

(k) If and to the extent Sellers are not “liquidating fiduciaries in bankruptcy” within the meaning of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”), Sellers shall assume any liabilities, obligations and commitments in respect of WARN and any similar state and local laws, if any, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in respect of Business Employees who are not Transferred Employees.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 11.1 Indemnification by Sellers.

(a) Each Seller agrees, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify and hold harmless each of Purchaser, Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Parent”), Parent’s direct and indirect Subsidiaries, Parent’s controlling shareholders and its and their respective directors, officers and employees (each a “Purchaser Group Member”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Purchaser Group Member in connection with or arising from any breach of any Core Representations or the inaccuracy of any Core Representations of Sellers contained or referred to in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Sellers pursuant hereto; provided, that in no event shall the aggregate amount required to be paid by Sellers pursuant to this Section 11.1(a) exceed the Indemnity Escrow Amount.

(b) The indemnification provided for in Section 11.1(a) shall terminate on the earlier of one year after the Closing Date and the entry of a Final Order closing the Bankruptcy Case (the “Termination Date”) (and no claims shall be made by any Purchaser Group Member under Section 11.1(a) after the Termination Date), except that the indemnification by Sellers shall continue as to any Loss of which any Purchaser Group Member has notified ResCap in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.2 on or prior to the Termination Date, as to which the obligation of Sellers shall continue until the liability of Sellers shall have been determined pursuant to this Article XI, and Sellers shall have reimbursed all Purchaser Group Members for the full amount of such Losses in accordance with this Article XI.

Section 11.2 Notice of Claims.

(a) Any Purchaser Group Member seeking indemnification hereunder shall give to each Seller obligated to provide indemnification to such Purchaser Group Member (the “Indemnitor”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any pending or threatened action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought (each such action or suit being a “Third Person Claim”) shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; provided further that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which a Purchaser Group Member shall be entitled under this Article XI shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Purchaser Group Member and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Purchaser Group Member and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Purchaser Group Member shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Loss suffered by it.

Section 11.3 Third Person Claims.

(a) Subject to Section 11.3(b), the Purchaser Group Member shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third Person Claim against such Purchaser Group Member as to which indemnification will be sought by any Purchaser Group Member from any Indemnitor hereunder, and in any such case the Indemnitor shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser Group Member in connection therewith; provided, that:

(i) the Indemnitor may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Person Claim as to which the Purchaser Group Member has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof; and

(ii) the Purchaser Group Member shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitor, pay, compromise or settle any such Third Person Claim, except that no such consent shall be required if, following a written request from the Purchaser Group Member, the Indemnitor shall fail, within 28 days after the making of such request or such shorter period if such Purchaser Group Member is required to respond prior to the end of such 28-day period, to acknowledge and agree in writing that, if such Third Person Claim shall be adversely determined, such Indemnitor has an obligation to provide indemnification hereunder to such Purchaser Group Member.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser Group Member shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such Third Person Claim without such consent, provided, that in such event the Purchaser Group Member shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder unless such consent is unreasonably withheld.

(b) If any Third Person Claim against any Purchaser Group Member is solely for money damages or will have no continuing effect in any material respect on the Business or the Purchased Assets, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Person Claim against such Purchaser Group Member as to which indemnification will be sought by any Purchaser Group Member from any Indemnitor hereunder if the Indemnitor has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely determined, the Indemnitor has an obligation to provide indemnification to the Purchaser Group Member in respect thereof, and in any such case the Purchaser Group Member shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided, that the Purchaser Group Member may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such Third Person Claim as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Person Claim if the reasonably expected monetary damages for which the Purchaser Group Member would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement is greater than the Indemnity Escrow Funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser Group Member shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such Third Person Claim, provided, that in such event the Purchaser Group Member shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder .

Section 11.4 Claims Against the Indemnity Escrowed Funds. Purchaser shall have the right to notify the Indemnity Escrow Agent of any claim for indemnification made by any Purchaser Group Member pursuant to this Article XI. Promptly following the final determination in accordance with this Article XI of any claim for indemnification made by any Purchaser Group Member, upon request by Purchaser, Sellers shall execute and deliver a certificate requesting the Indemnity Escrow Agent to deliver by wire transfer to an account designated by Purchaser immediately available funds in the amount of such claim as finally determined in accordance with this Article XI (not to exceed the Indemnity Escrowed Funds). On the Termination Date, the Indemnity Escrow Agent shall deliver to Sellers all the Indemnity Escrowed Funds then held by the Indemnity Escrow Agent by wire transfer to one or more accounts designated by ResCap; provided, however, that if prior to the Termination Date Purchaser notifies the Indemnity Escrow Agent in writing that all or a portion of the Indemnity Escrowed Funds is subject to claims for indemnification under this Agreement that have not been finally determined (the “Outstanding Claims”), the amount delivered to Sellers upon the Termination Date shall be equal to the Indemnity Escrowed Funds then held by the Indemnity Escrow Agent, less the sum of any amounts subject to the Outstanding Claims. If at any time after the Termination Date the amount of the Indemnity Escrowed Funds then held by the Indemnity Escrow Agent exceeds the sum of any amounts subject to the Outstanding Claims, ResCap and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a certificate requesting the Indemnity Escrow Agent to deliver such excess amount to Sellers by wire transfer to one or more accounts designated by ResCap.

Section 11.5 Adjustment to Purchase Price. To the extent that any payment by Sellers under this Article XI can be properly so characterized under applicable Tax law, such payment shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 11.6 Survival. Sellers and Purchaser agree that all of the representations, warranties and covenants of Sellers and Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall terminate at the Closing Date, except that the Core Representations shall survive as provided in Section 11.1(b) and the covenants that by their terms survive the Closing Date shall survive the Closing Date.

Section 11.7 Exclusive Remedy

. Except in the case of fraud or where a Party seeks to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section 12.11, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Purchaser Group Member in connection with any breach of any Core Representations or the inaccuracy of any Core Representations of Sellers contained or referred to in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Sellers pursuant hereto, whether under this Agreement or arising under common law or any other Law, shall be as provided in this Article XI. Nothing in this Section 11.7 shall operate to interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Section 3.2 or any Ancillary Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Sale Procedures Order, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction hereunder, shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses. Following approval of the Sale Procedures Order, any claims arising from breaches by any Sellers of their obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall constitute administrative expense claims against the Sellers under Sections 503(b)(1) and 507(a)(1), as applicable, of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 12.2 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

Section 12.4 Waivers. The failure of a party to require performance of any provision hereof shall not affect its right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by a party of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained herein shall be effective unless in writing. No such waiver in any one instance shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of any such term, covenant, representation or warranty in any other instance.

Section 12.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 12.6 Applicable Law; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; Venue and Retention of Jurisdiction.

The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3.

Section 12.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that no assignment of either party’s rights or obligations may be made without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided that Purchaser may assign (i) its rights and interests in Servicing Advances to be acquired hereunder to any of its lenders as collateral security or (ii) this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including Purchaser’s rights to purchase the Purchased Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities) to (x) pursuant to the Walter Assignment as provided in Section 6.15 or (y) one or more Affiliates of Purchaser (an “Affiliate Assignment”); provided that any such Affiliate has at the Closing all Business Licenses necessary to own and conduct business with such Purchased Assets and to assume such Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that (1) with respect to an Affiliate Assignment, Purchaser shall remain obligated to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and for any damages arising from an unlawful breach hereof; and provided further, that Sellers are permitted to assign their right under the Deposit Escrow Agreement as provided in Section 6.26. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 12.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article XI, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto, and no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any remedy, claim or right upon any third party, including any employee or former employee of Sellers or any participant or beneficiary in any benefit plan, program or arrangement.

Section 12.9 Public Announcements. Sellers and Purchaser each agree that they and their Affiliates shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or respond to any media inquiry with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior approval of the other parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as may be required by Law or by any stock exchanges having jurisdiction over Sellers, Purchaser or their Affiliates.

Section 12.10 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.

Section 12.11 Matters Related to Purchaser as Next Highest Bidder; Specific Performance.

(a) If the Auction is held pursuant to the Sale Procedures and Purchaser is not chosen as the Successful Bidder (as such term is defined in the Sale Procedures), then (i) the Cash Deposit (together with interest thereon in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement) shall be returned to Purchaser on December 31, 2012 if the Cash Deposit had not previously been distributed prior to such date and (ii) the recourse against Purchaser with respect to any claim against Purchaser related to Purchaser’s Bid Proposal (as defined in the Sale Procedures), the Auction, the Sale Procedures, this Agreement or any other matter in the Bankruptcy Case, whether with respect to a claim of breach by Purchaser, noncompliance by Purchaser or otherwise, shall be limited to a claim on the Cash Deposit being held pursuant to the Deposit Escrow Agreement.

(b) If the Auction is held pursuant to the Sale Procedures and Purchaser is chosen as the Successful Bidder, the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
