In the event the Servicer effects a refinancing of a Distressed Whole Loan on behalf of the Owner and not through a third party lender and the resulting Mortgage Loan is readily saleable, or the Servicer originates a Mortgage Loan to facilitate the disposition of REO Property, the Servicer

shall be entitled to fees and other compensation in connection with such originations based on market-based pricing and terms that are consistent with the pricing and terms offered by the Servicer to unaffiliated third parties on a retail basis. The amount of the compensation and the pricing and terms offered by the Servicer shall be subject to review by the Owner and the Servicer from time to time to reflect market rates.
