CAUTIONS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are not statements of historical facts. When used in this discussion, the words “anticipate,” “appears,” “believe,” “foresee,” “intend,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “are likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve predictions of our future financial condition, performance, plans and strategies, and are thus dependent on a number of factors including, without limitation, assumptions and data that may be imprecise or incorrect. Specific factors that may impact performance or other predictions of future actions have, in many but not all cases, been identified in connection with specific forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include:

the delay in our foreclosure proceedings due to inquiries by certain state Attorneys General, court administrators, and state and federal government agencies;
the impact of the ongoing implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), including the recent examination of our business begun by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"), on our business activities and practices, costs of operations and overall results of operations;
the impact on our servicing practices of enforcement consent orders against and agreements entered into by certain federal and state agencies with the largest mortgage servicers and ongoing inquiries regarding other non-bank mortgage servicers;
increased legal proceedings and related costs;
the continued uncertainty of the residential mortgage market, increase in monthly payments on adjustable rate mortgage loans, adverse economic conditions, decrease in property values and increase in delinquencies and defaults;
the deterioration of the market for reverse mortgages and increase in foreclosure rates for reverse mortgages;
our ability to efficiently service higher risk loans;
our ability to mitigate the increased risks related to servicing reverse mortgages;
our ability to compete successfully in the mortgage loan servicing and mortgage loan originations industries;
our ability to maintain or grow the size of our servicing portfolio and realize our significant investments in personnel and our technology platform by successfully identifying attractive acquisition opportunities, including mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), subservicing contracts, servicing platforms and originations platforms;
our ability to scale-up appropriately and integrate our acquisitions to realize the anticipated benefits of any such potential future acquisitions, including potentially significant acquisitions;
our ability to obtain sufficient capital to meet our financing requirements;
our ability to grow our loan originations volume;
the termination of our servicing rights and subservicing contracts;
changes to federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning loan servicing, loan origination, loan modification or the licensing of entities that engage in these activities;
loss of our licenses;
our ability to meet certain criteria or characteristics under the indentures governing our securitized pools of loans;
our ability to follow the specific guidelines of government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") or a significant change in such guidelines;
delays in our ability to collect or be reimbursed for servicing advances;
changes to Home Affordable Modification Program ("HAMP"), Home Affordable Refinance Program ("HARP"), Making Home Affordable Plan ("MHA") or other similar government programs;
changes in our business relationships with the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") and others that facilitate the issuance of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS");
changes to the nature of the guarantees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the market implications of such changes;
errors in our financial models or changes in assumptions;

3


requirements to write down the value of certain assets;
changes in prevailing interest rates;
our ability to successfully mitigate our risks through hedging strategies;
changes to our servicer ratings;
the accuracy and completeness of information about borrowers and counterparties;
our ability to maintain our technology systems and our ability to adapt such systems for future operating environments;
failure of our internal security measures or breach of our privacy protections;
failure of our vendors to comply with servicing criteria;
the loss of the services of our senior managers;
failure to attract and retain a highly skilled work force;
changes in public opinion concerning mortgage originators or debt default specialists; and
changes in accounting standards.
All of the above factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results, and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors or to assess the effect of each such new factor on our business. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore any of these statements included herein may prove to be inaccurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved. Please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors of Nationstar Mortgage LLC's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2012, and Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q for further information on these and other factors affecting us.

1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Material Transaction
Nature of Business
Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (Nationstar Inc. or the Company) is a Delaware corporation, formed in conjunction with and for the purpose of effecting an initial public offering by allowing common shareholders to own equity in a corporation instead of in a limited liability company.
Nationstar Inc. is a holding company that conducts no operating activities and owns no significant assets other than through its interests in its subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, Nationstar Inc. is engaged primarily in the servicing of residential mortgage loans for others and the origination and selling or securitization of single-family conforming mortgage loans to government-sponsored entities (GSE) or other third party investors in the secondary market. Nationstar Mortgage LLC (Nationstar), the Company's principal operating subsidiary, is one of the largest high touch non-bank servicers in the United States.
Basis of Presentation
In conjunction with the initial public offering of Nationstar Inc., Nationstar became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Nationstar Inc. Prior to the reorganization and initial public offering (Reorganization), Nationstar was a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIF HE Holdings LLC (FIF). Nationstar Inc. was formed solely for the purpose of reorganizing the structure of FIF and Nationstar so that the common stock issuer was a corporation rather than a limited liability company. As such, investors own common stock rather than equity interests in a limited liability company. Upon completion of the initial public offering and Reorganization, all of the equity interests in Nationstar were transferred from FIF to two direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Nationstar Inc. In conjunction with the Reorganization, FIF contributed certain assets to Nationstar. The Reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization under common control and, accordingly, there was no change in the basis of the assets and liabilities. As part of the Reorganization, FIF exchanged its equity in Nationstar for 70,000,000 shares of common stock in Nationstar Inc.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nationstar Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where Nationstar Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Nationstar Inc. applies the equity method of accounting to investments when the entity is not a VIE and Nationstar Inc. is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the policies and procedures of the entity but owns less than 50% of the voting interests. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations, assets and liabilities of VIEs are included from the date that Nationstar Inc. became the primary beneficiary through the date Nationstar Inc. ceases to be the primary beneficiary.
The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included. The consolidated interim financial statements of Nationstar Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Nationstar Mortgage LLC's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2012. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Nationstar Inc. evaluated subsequent events through the date these interim consolidated financial statements were issued.
Material Transaction
On March 6, 2012, Nationstar entered into an asset purchase agreement with Aurora Bank FSB and Aurora Loan Services LLC, (collectively "Aurora"). Nationstar and Aurora closed the asset purchase in June 2012. Nationstar paid Aurora approximately $2.0 billion that included mortgage servicing rights of approximately $271.5 million and servicing advance receivables of approximately $1.7 billion. As a part of the purchase, certain other assets and liabilities were also acquired. The mortgage servicing rights relate to approximately 300,000 residential mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of over $63 billion. As of the closing date, Nationstar entered into certain financing arrangements amounting to approximately $1.3 billion

10


for the servicing advance receivables and $176.5 million for excess spread financing related to the mortgage servicing rights. The remainder of the purchase price was funded with Nationstar cash.
During June 2012, loans with an unpaid principal balance of $6.2 billion were boarded onto Nationstar's servicing platform, with the remaining $57.0 billion boarded in July 2012. The loans boarded in July 2012 were subserviced by Aurora until they were boarded by Nationstar.

2. Recent Accounting Developments
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements (Update No. 2011-03). Update No. 2011-03 is intended to improve the accounting and reporting of repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This amendment removes the criterion pertaining to an exchange of collateral such that it should not be a determining factor in assessing effective control, including (i) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (ii) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. Other criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control are not changed by the amendments in the update. The amendments in this update were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of Update No. 2011-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (Update No. 2011-04). Update No. 2011-04 is intended to provide common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The changes required in this update include changing the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively and were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Upon adoption, certain disclosure requirements were added to the Fair Value Measurements footnote. The adoption of Update No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Update No. 2011-05). Update No. 2011-05 is intended to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Update No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and now requires that all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments in this update are to be applied retrospectively and were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of Update No. 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No 2011-05 (Update No. 2011-12). Update 2011-12 is intended to temporarily defer the effective date of the requirement to present separate line items on the income statement for reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income as required by Update No. 2011-05. All other requirements in Update 2011-05 are not affected by this update. This update does not change the requirement to present reclassifications adjustments within other comprehensive income either on the face of the statement that reports other comprehensive income or in the notes to the financial statements (Update 2011-05). The amendments in this update were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of Update No. 2011-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

3. Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations
Nationstar has been the transferor in connection with a number of securitizations or asset-backed financing arrangements, from which Nationstar has continuing involvement with the underlying transferred financial assets. Nationstar aggregates these securitizations or asset-backed financing arrangements into two groups: 1) securitizations of residential mortgage loans and 2) transfers accounted for as secured borrowings.
On securitizations of residential mortgage loans, Nationstar’s continuing involvement typically includes acting as servicer for the mortgage loans held by the trust and holding beneficial interests in the trust. Nationstar’s responsibilities as servicer include, among other things, collecting monthly payments, maintaining escrow accounts, providing periodic reports and managing insurance in exchange for a contractually specified servicing fee. The beneficial interests held consist of both subordinate and residual securities that were retained at the time of the securitization and any mortgage servicing rights

11


subsequently retained in the securitization.
Nationstar also maintains various agreements with special purpose entities (SPEs), under which Nationstar transfers mortgage loans and/or advances on residential mortgage loans in exchange for cash. These SPEs issue debt supported by collections on the transferred mortgage loans and/or advances. These transfers do not qualify for sale treatment because Nationstar continues to retain control over the transferred assets. As a result, Nationstar accounts for these transfers as financings and continues to carry the transferred assets and recognizes the related liabilities on Nationstar’s consolidated balance sheets. Collections on the mortgage loans and/or advances pledged to the SPEs are used to repay principal and interest and to pay the expenses of the entity. The holders of these beneficial interests issued by these SPEs do not have recourse to Nationstar and can only look to the assets of the SPEs themselves for satisfaction of the debt.
A Variable Interest Entity (VIE) is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that, through its variable interests has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Current accounting guidance requires that all existing SPEs be evaluated for consolidation. Nationstar identified certain securitization trusts where Nationstar, through its affiliates, continued to hold beneficial interests in these trusts. These retained beneficial interests obligate Nationstar to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant. In addition, Nationstar as master servicer on the related mortgage loans, retains the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. When it is determined that Nationstar has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the assets and liabilities of these VIEs are included in Nationstar’s consolidated financial statements. Upon consolidation of these VIEs, Nationstar derecognized all previously recognized beneficial interests obtained as part of the securitization, including any retained investment in debt securities, mortgage servicing rights, and any remaining residual interests. In addition, Nationstar recognized the securitized mortgage loans as mortgage loans held for investment, subject to ABS nonrecourse debt, and the related asset-backed certificates (ABS nonrecourse debt) acquired by third parties as ABS nonrecourse debt on Nationstar’s consolidated balance sheet.
As a result of market conditions and deteriorating credit performance on these consolidated VIEs, Nationstar expects minimal to no future cash flows on the economic residual. Under existing GAAP, Nationstar would be required to provide for additional allowances for loan losses on the securitization collateral as credit performance deteriorated, with no offsetting reduction in the securitization’s debt balances, even though any nonperformance of the assets will ultimately pass through as a reduction of amounts owed to the debt holders once they are extinguished. Therefore, Nationstar would be required to record accounting losses beyond its economic exposure.
To more accurately represent the future economic performance of the securitization collateral and related debt balances, Nationstar elected the fair value option provided for by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments-Overall. This option was applied to all eligible items within the VIE, including mortgage loans held for investment, subject to ABS nonrecourse debt, and the related ABS nonrecourse debt.

Subsequent to this fair value election, Nationstar no longer records an allowance for loan loss on mortgage loans held for investment, subject to ABS nonrecourse debt. Nationstar continues to record interest income in Nationstar’s consolidated statement of operations on these fair value elected loans until they are placed on a nonaccrual status when they are 90 days or more past due. The fair value adjustment recorded for the mortgage loans held for investment is classified within fair value changes of ABS securitizations in Nationstar’s consolidated statement of operations.
Subsequent to the fair value election for ABS nonrecourse debt, Nationstar continues to record interest expense in Nationstar’s consolidated statement of operations on the fair value elected ABS nonrecourse debt. The fair value adjustment recorded for the ABS nonrecourse debt is classified within fair value changes of ABS securitizations in Nationstar’s consolidated statement of operations.
Under the existing pooling and servicing agreements of these securitization trusts, the principal and interest cash flows on the underlying securitized loans are used to service the asset-backed certificates. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on this nonrecourse debt is dependent on the payments received on the underlying mortgage loans and liquidation of real estate owned.
Nationstar consolidates the SPEs created for the purpose of issuing debt supported by collections on loans and advances that

12


have been transferred to it as VIEs, and Nationstar is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company consolidates the assets and liabilities of the VIEs onto its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, Nationstar sold its remaining variable interest in a securitization trust that had been a consolidated VIE since January 1, 2010 and deconsolidated the VIE. In accordance with ASC 810 Nationstar has evaluated this securitization trust and determined that Nationstar no longer has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, and this securitization trust was derecognized as of December 31, 2011. Upon deconsolidation of this VIE, Nationstar derecognized the securitized mortgage loans held for investment, subject to ABS nonrecourse debt, the related ABS nonrecourse debt, as well as certain other assets and liabilities of the securitization trust, and recognized any MSRs on the consolidated balance sheet. The impact of this derecognition on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2011 in the fair value changes in ABS securitizations line item.

6. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale and Investment
Mortgage loans held for sale
Nationstar maintains a strategy of originating mortgage loan products primarily for the purpose of selling to GSEs or other third party investors in the secondary market. Generally, all newly originated mortgage loans held for sale are delivered to third-party purchasers or securitized shortly after origination.
Nationstar has elected to measure newly originated prime residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value, as permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Nationstar estimates fair value by evaluating a variety of market indicators, including recent trades and outstanding commitments, calculated on an aggregate basis (see Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements).

Mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt - legacy assets, net
Mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt – legacy assets principally consist of nonconforming or subprime mortgage loans securitized which serve as collateral for the issued debt. These loans were transferred on October 1, 2009 from mortgage loans held for sale at fair value on the transfer date, as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows, with no valuation allowance recorded. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected and the investment in the loan is recognized as interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at transfer are not recognized as a yield adjustment or as a loss accrual or a valuation allowance. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the transfer are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loans over the remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows subsequent to transfer are recognized as a valuation allowance.
An allowance for loan losses is established by recording a provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of operations when management believes a loss has occurred on a loan held for investment. When management determines that a loan held for investment is partially or fully uncollectible, the estimated loss is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time the recovery is collected.

Nationstar accounts for the loans that were transferred to held for investment from held for sale during October 2009 in a manner similar to ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. At the date of transfer, management evaluated such loans to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality since acquisition and if it was probable that Nationstar would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms. The transferred loans were aggregated into separate pools of loans based on common risk characteristics (loan delinquency). Nationstar considers expected prepayments, and estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows for each aggregated pool of loans. The determination of expected cash flows utilizes internal inputs such as prepayment speeds and credit losses. These internal inputs require the use of judgment and can have a significant impact on the accretion of income and/or valuation allowance. Nationstar determines the excess of the pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over all cash flows expected as of the transfer date as an amount that should not be accreted (nonaccretable difference). The remaining amount is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the pool of loans (accretable yield).
Over the life of the transferred loans, management continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Nationstar evaluates at the balance sheet date whether the present value of the loans determined using the effective interest rates has decreased, and if so, records an allowance for loan loss. The present value of any subsequent increase in the transferred loans cash flows expected to be collected is used first to reverse any existing allowance for loan loss related to such loans. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected are used to adjust the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the remaining life of the loans.
Nationstar accounts for its allowance for loan losses for all other mortgage loans held for investment in accordance with ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the loans held for investment portfolio. Mortgage loans held for investment portfolio is comprised primarily of large groups of homogeneous residential mortgage loans. These loans are evaluated based on the loan’s present delinquency status. The entire allowance is available to absorb probable credit losses from the entire held for investment portfolio.

Nationstar may periodically modify the terms of any outstanding mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt-legacy assets, net for loans that are either in default or in imminent default. Modifications often involve reduced payments by borrowers, modification of the original terms of the mortgage loans, forgiveness of debt and/or increased servicing advances. As a result of the volume of modification agreements entered into, the estimated average outstanding life in this pool of mortgage loans has been extended. Nationstar records interest income on the transferred loans on a level-yield method. To maintain a level-yield on these transferred loans over the estimated extended life, Nationstar reclassified approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from nonaccretable difference. Furthermore, Nationstar considers the decrease in principal, interest, and other cash flows expected to be collected arising from the transferred loans as an impairment, and Nationstar recorded provisions for loan losses of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 on the transferred loans to reflect this impairment. There were no additional provision required for the three months period ended June 30, 2011. Nationstar recorded provisions for loan losses of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 on the transferred loans to reflect this impairment.
Nationstar collectively evaluates all mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt-legacy assets for impairment.

Loan delinquency and loan-to-value ratio (LTV) are common credit quality indicators that Nationstar monitors and utilizes in its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, of which the primary indicator of credit quality is loan delinquency. LTV refers to the ratio of comparing the loan’s unpaid principal balance to the property’s collateral value. Loan delinquencies and unpaid principal balances are updated monthly based upon collection activity. Collateral values are updated from third-party providers on a periodic basis. For an event requiring a decision based at least in part on the collateral value, Nationstar takes its last known value provided by a third party and then adjusts the value based on the applicable home price index.

The following tables provide the outstanding unpaid principal balance of Nationstar’s mortgage loans held for investment by credit quality indicators as of dates indicated.

Performing loans refer to loans that are less than 90 days delinquent. Non-performing loans refer to loans that are greater than 90 days delinquent.
Reverse mortgage interests
Reverse mortgage interests consists of fees paid to taxing authorities for borrowers’ unpaid taxes and insurance, and payments made to borrowers for line of credit draws on the reverse mortgages. These advances include due and payable advances, which are recovered upon the sale of the subject property, and defaulted advances that can be securitized and sold. As of June 30, 2012, Nationstar had $310.1 million in outstanding reverse mortgage interests.
Nationstar accounts for outstanding and future reverse mortgage interests as financing receivables in accordance with ASC 310, Receivables. Interest and other unpaid taxes and fees are accrued monthly and capitalized as part of the outstanding advance balance. When Nationstar determines that a loss on the advance balance is probable and that the carrying balance may be partially or fully uncollectible, an allowance for loan loss is established by recording a provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of operations.

7. Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)
MSRs at fair value
Nationstar recognizes MSRs related to all existing residential mortgage loans transferred to a third party in a transfer that meets the requirements for sale accounting and for which the servicing rights are retained. Additionally, Nationstar may acquire the rights to service residential mortgage loans that do not relate to assets transferred by Nationstar through the purchase of these rights from third parties.
Nationstar identifies MSRs related to all existing forward residential mortgage loans transferred to a third party in a transfer that meets the requirements for sale accounting or through the acquisition of rights to service forward residential mortgage loans that do not relate to assets transferred by Nationstar through the purchase of these rights from third parties as a class of MSR. Nationstar applies fair value accounting to this class of MSRs, with all changes in fair value recorded as charges or credits to servicing fee income in accordance with ASC 860-50, Servicing Assets and Liabilities.

MSRs arise from contractual agreements between Nationstar and investors in mortgage securities and mortgage loans. Nationstar records MSR assets when it sells loans on a servicing-retained basis, at the time of securitization or through the acquisition or assumption of the right to service a financial asset. Under these contracts, Nationstar performs loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and other remuneration.
The fair value of the MSRs is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows related to servicing these loans. Nationstar receives a base servicing fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% annually on the remaining outstanding principal balances of the loans. The servicing fees are collected from investors. Nationstar determines the fair value of the MSRs by the use of a cash flow model that incorporates prepayment speeds, discount rate, and other assumptions (including servicing costs) that management believes are consistent with the assumptions other major market participants use in valuing the MSRs. Certain of the forward loans underlying the MSRs are prime agency and government conforming residential forward mortgage loans and as such are more interest rate sensitive whereas the remaining MSRs are more credit sensitive. The nature of the forward loans underlying the MSRs affects the assumptions that management believes other major market participants use in valuing the MSRs. Nationstar obtains third-party valuations for a portion of its MSRs to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculated by the cash flow model.
Certain of the forward loans underlying the mortgage servicing rights carried at fair value that are owned by Nationstar are credit sensitive in nature and the value of these mortgage servicing rights are more likely to be affected from changes in credit losses than from interest rate movement. The remaining forward loans underlying Nationstar’s MSRs held at fair value are prime agency and government conforming residential mortgage loans for which the value of these MSRs are more likely to be affected from interest rate movement than changes in credit losses.
Nationstar used the following weighted average assumptions in estimating the fair value of MSRs for the dates indicated:

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors (e.g., a decrease in total prepayment speeds may result in an increase in credit losses), which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
MSRs at amortized cost
Additionally, Nationstar has acquired servicing rights for reverse mortgage loans. For this class of servicing rights, Nationstar applies the amortization method (i.e., lower of cost or market) with the capitalized cost of the MSRs amortized in proportion and over the period of the estimated net future servicing income and recognized as an adjustment to servicing fee income. The expected period of the estimated net servicing income is based, in part, on the expected prepayment period of the underlying reverse mortgages. This class of MSRs is periodically evaluated for impairment. For purposes of measuring impairment, MSRs are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying serviced loans. These risk characteristics include loan type (fixed or adjustable rate), term and interest rate. Impairment, if any, represents the excess of amortized cost of an individual stratum over its estimated fair value and is recognized through a valuation allowance.
As of June 30, 2012, Nationstar owns the right to service certain reverse mortgage MSRs with an unpaid principal balance of $27.2 billion. The initial carrying amount of these MSRs is based on the relative fair value of the purchased assets and

19


liabilities including reverse mortgage interests. These MSRs are subsequently accounted for using the amortization method. Amortization / accretion is recorded as service fee income on the statement of operations and comprehensive income. Nationstar utilizes a variety of assumptions in assessing the fair value of its servicing assets or liabilities, with the primary assumptions including discount rates and the expected weighted average life. At June 30, 2012, no impairment was identified.

Subserviced loans
In addition to the two classes of MSRs that Nationstar services for others, Nationstar also subservices loans on behalf of owners of MSRs or loans for a fee. Nationstar has no recorded value for its subservicing arrangements. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the unpaid principal balances under subservicing arrangements were $47.6 billion and $53.7 billion, respectively.

In conjunction with Nationstar's definitive agreement to acquire certain assets from Residential Capital, LLC (see Note 23), Nationstar was required to place in escrow $72.0 million toward the purchase price. Also, as a part of the transaction, Newcastle Investment Corp. (Newcastle) remitted $25.2 million to Nationstar toward the escrow payment. Such amount has been recorded in payables and accrued liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheet and would be repaid to Newcastle in the event that the agreement is not consummated.
Deposits pending on mortgage servicing rights acquisitions primarily consist of amounts transferred to third parties for the future acquisition of mortgage servicing. In December 2011, Nationstar entered into an agreement with a financial institution to acquire the rights to service reverse mortgages with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $9.5 billion, of which the underlying reserve mortgages are currently owned by an unaffiliated GSE. The purchase of these servicing rights was completed upon the approval of the GSE which was received in June 2012. Upon execution of the purchase, Nationstar assumed responsibility for advance obligations on the underlying reverse mortgage loans. Nationstar paid $9.0 million for the purchase of these servicing rights which had previously been deposited with the financial institution. Also, as of December 31, 2011, Nationstar had placed in escrow $17.9 million relating to the purchase of the mortgage servicing rights and related outstanding advance balances with the same financial institution. Such purchase was completed in January 2012 and these escrow amounts were released. In addition, Nationstar has entered into separate agreements to purchase forward mortgage servicing rights. These amounts are carried as deposits on acquired servicing rights acquisitions until the underlying forward residential mortgage loan balances are transferred to Nationstar. Nationstar has deposited with a counterparty for servicing rights on forward mortgages for $1.8 million as of June 30, 2012 that are expected to be originated and transferred to Nationstar during the third quarter of 2012, and $2.0 million as of December 31, 2011 that were originated and transferred to Nationstar during the first quarter of 2012.
For certain loans sold to GNMA (Ginnie Mae), Nationstar as the servicer has the unilateral right to repurchase without Ginnie Mae’s prior authorization any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including being delinquent greater than 90 days. Once Nationstar has the unilateral right to repurchase the delinquent loan, Nationstar has effectively regained control over the loan, and under GAAP, must re-recognize the loan on its balance sheet and establish a corresponding repurchase liability regardless of Nationstar’s intention to repurchase the loan. Nationstar’s re-recognized loans included in other assets and the corresponding liability in payables and accrued liabilities was $46.1 million at June 30, 2012 and $35.7 million at December 31, 2011.
In March 2011, Nationstar acquired a 22% interest in ANC Acquisition LLC (ANC) for an initial investment of $6.6 million. ANC is the parent company of National Real Estate Information Services, LP (NREIS) a real estate services company. In March 2012 FIF contributed its 13% investment in ANC to Nationstar, increasing the overall investment to 35%. As Nationstar is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the policies and procedures of the entity, and Nationstar owns less than 50% of the voting interests, Nationstar applies the equity method of accounting. NREIS, an ancillary real estate services and vendor management company, offers comprehensive settlement and property valuation services for both originations and default management channels. Direct or indirect product offerings include title insurance agency, tax searches, flood certification, default valuations, full appraisals and broker price opinions.

10. Derivative Financial Instruments
Nationstar enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with prospective borrowers. These commitments are carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC 815 clarifies that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The estimated fair values of IRLCs are based on quoted market values and are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The initial and subsequent changes in the value of IRLCs are a component of gain on mortgage loans held for sale.
Nationstar actively manages the risk profiles of its IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale on a daily basis. To manage the price risk associated with IRLCs, Nationstar enters into forward sales of MBS in an amount equal to the portion of the IRLC expected to close, assuming no change in mortgage interest rates. In addition, to manage the interest rate risk associated with mortgage loans held for sale, Nationstar enters into forward sales of MBS to deliver mortgage loan inventory to investors. The estimated fair values of forward sales of MBS and forward sale commitments are based on quoted market values and are recorded as a component of other assets and mortgage loans held for sale, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The initial and subsequent changes in value on forward sales of MBS and forward sale commitments are a component of gain on mortgage loans held for sale.
Periodically, Nationstar enters into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest payment on the warehouse debt. These interest rate swap agreements generally require Nationstar to pay a fixed interest rate and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. Unless designated as an accounting hedge, Nationstar records losses on interest rate swaps as a component of gain/(loss) on interest rate swaps and caps in Nationstar’s consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized losses on undesignated interest rate derivatives are separately disclosed under operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815 are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, with any changes in fair value related to the effective portion of the hedge being recorded as an adjustment to other comprehensive income. To qualify as a cash flow hedge, the hedge must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be formally designated at hedge inception. Nationstar considers a hedge to be highly effective if the change in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument is within 80% to 125% of the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Ineffective portions of the cash flow hedge are reflected in earnings as they occur as a component of interest expense.


23


During 2008, Nationstar entered into interest rate cap agreements to hedge the interest payment on the servicing advance facility. These interest rate cap agreements generally require an upfront payment and receive cash flow only when a variable rate based on LIBOR exceeds a defined interest rate. These interest rate cap agreements are not designated as hedging instruments, and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in loss on interest rate swaps and caps in Nationstar’s consolidated statements of operations.
In conjunction with the Reorganization, FIF contributed outstanding interest rate swaps in March 2012 to Nationstar. These interest rate swaps on ABS debt generally require Nationstar to pay a fixed interest rate and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The outstanding interest rate swaps have not been designated as accounting hedges during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Any changes in fair value are recorded as a component of gains or losses on interest rate swaps and caps in Nationstar’s consolidated statement of operations.

Legacy Asset and Other Financing
Nonrecourse Debt–Legacy Assets
In November 2009, Nationstar completed the securitization of approximately $222 million of ABS, which was structured as a secured borrowing. This structure resulted in Nationstar carrying the securitized loans as mortgages on Nationstar’s consolidated balance sheet and recognizing the asset-backed certificates acquired by third parties as nonrecourse debt, totaling

28


approximately $106.3 million and $112.5 million at June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. The principal and interest on these notes are paid using the cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. The interest rate paid on the outstanding securities is 7.50%, which is subject to an available funds cap. The total outstanding principal balance on the underlying mortgage loans serving as collateral for the debt was approximately $353.1 million and $373.1 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on this nonrecourse debt is dependent on the payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. The unpaid principal balance on the outstanding notes was $123.6 million and $130.8 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Excess Spread Financing Debt at Fair Value
In conjunction with Nationstar's acquisition of certain mortgage servicing rights on various pools of residential mortgage loans (the Portfolios), Nationstar has entered into sale and assignment agreements which are treated as financings with an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Newcastle. Nationstar is an affiliate of Newcastle’s manager. Nationstar, in transactions accounted for as financing arrangements, sold to Newcastle the right to receive 65% of the excess cash flow generated from the Portfolios after receipt of a fixed basic servicing fee per loan.
Nationstar retains all ancillary income associated with servicing the Portfolios and 35% of the excess cash flow after receipt of the fixed basic servicing fee. Nationstar continues to be the servicer of the Portfolios and provides all servicing and advancing functions. Newcastle has no prior or ongoing obligations associated with the Portfolios.
Contemporaneous with the above, Nationstar entered into refinanced loan agreements with Newcastle. Should Nationstar refinance any loan in the Portfolios, subject to certain limitations, Nationstar will be required to transfer the new loan or a replacement loan of similar economic characteristics into the Portfolios. The new or replacement loan will be governed by the same terms set forth in the sale and assignment agreement described above.

The total carrying amount of the outstanding excess spread financing agreements was $266.7 million and $44.6 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Participating Interest Financing
Participating interest financing represent the issuance of pools of Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Backed Securities (HMBS) to third-party security holders which are guaranteed by certain GSEs. Nationstar has accounted for the transfer of these advances in the related Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM) loans as secured borrowings, retaining the initial Reverse mortgage interests on its balance sheet, and recording the pooled HMBS as participating interest financing liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet. Monthly cash flows generated from the HECM loans are used to service the HMBS. The interest rate is based on the underlying HMBS rate with a range of 0.53% to 7.17%. The participating interest financing was $181.1 million at June 30, 2012. There was none outstanding at December 31, 2011.
Financial Covenants
As of June 30, 2012, Nationstar was in compliance with its covenants on its borrowing arrangements and credit facilities. These covenants generally relate to Nationstar’s tangible net worth, liquidity reserves, and leverage requirements.

13. Income Taxes
The financial statements through December 31, 2011 and for the period January 1, 2012 up to Reorganization do not include income tax expense or benefit or any current or deferred income tax assets or liabilities. Nationstar Inc.'s corporate subsidiaries were subject to income taxes prior to the Reorganization, however, income tax expense (primarily state) and related tax liabilities were not material for presentation purposes.
As a result of the Reorganization, Nationstar Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Nationstar, became a new corporate consolidated group for income tax purposes. As a result of the change in income tax status, the Company is required to record deferred taxes on the difference between book and tax bases in assets and liabilities as of the Reorganization date. The net deferred tax asset or liability is recorded through the consolidated statement of operations as a component of income tax expense. As of the Reorganization date, the Company recorded a $70.8 million deferred tax asset for net operating and other loss carryforwards inherited as a result of the Reorganization, and a $16.5 million deferred tax liability related to basis differences in Nationstar's assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company recorded a $54.3 million valuation allowance for deferred tax assets that management concluded will likely not be realized.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $12.8 million on pretax income for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, income tax expense was $15.9 million. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $3.1 million on pretax income of $12.4 million earned from the Reorganization date through March 31, 2012.

14. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies when GAAP requires or allows assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and, therefore, does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstance.
ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy based on the level of observable inputs used in the measurement of fair value (e.g., Level 1 representing quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market; Level 2 representing values using observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1; and Level 3 representing estimated values based on significant unobservable inputs). In addition, ASC 820 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including its own credit standing, when measuring the fair value of a liability. Under ASC 820, related disclosures are segregated for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the level used within the hierarchy to determine their fair values.
The following describes the methods and assumptions used by Nationstar in estimating fair values:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash – The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets

30


approximates fair value.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale – Nationstar originates mortgage loans in the U.S. that it intends to sell to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae (collectively, the Agencies). Additionally, Nationstar holds mortgage loans that it intends to sell into the secondary markets via whole loan sales or securitizations. Nationstar measures newly originated prime residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value.
Mortgage loans held for sale are typically pooled together and sold into certain exit markets, depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility, product type, interest rate, and credit quality. Mortgage loans held for sale are valued using a market approach by utilizing either: (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, including the value attributable to mortgage servicing and credit risk, (ii) current commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. As these prices are derived from quoted market prices, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.
Mortgage Loans Held for Investment, subject to nonrecourse debt – Legacy Assets – Nationstar determines the fair value of loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt – Legacy Assets using internally developed valuation models. These valuation models estimate the exit price Nationstar expects to receive in the loan’s principal market. Although Nationstar utilizes and gives priority to observable market inputs such as interest rates and market spreads within these models, Nationstar typically is required to utilize internal inputs, such as prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates. These internal inputs require the use of judgment by Nationstar and can have a significant impact on the determination of the loan’s fair value. As these prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
Mortgage Servicing Rights – Fair Value – Nationstar recognizes MSRs related to all existing residential mortgage loans transferred to a third party in a transfer that meets the requirements for sale accounting and for which the servicing rights are retained. Additionally, Nationstar may acquire the rights to service residential mortgage loans that do not relate to assets transferred by Nationstar through the purchase of these rights from third parties. Nationstar estimates the fair value of its forward MSRs using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being mortgage prepayment speeds and discount rates. These assumptions are generated and applied based on collateral stratifications including product type, remittance type, geography, delinquency and coupon dispersion. These assumptions require the use of judgment by Nationstar and can have a significant impact on the determination of the MSR’s fair value. Periodically, management obtains third party valuations of a portion of the portfolio to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculations provided by the cash flow model. Because of the nature of the valuation inputs, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
Reverse Mortgage Interests – Nationstar’s reverse mortgage advances consist of fees paid to taxing authorities for borrowers unpaid taxes and insurance, and payments made to borrowers for line of credit draws on reverse mortgages. These advances include due and payable advances, which are recovered upon the foreclosure and sale of the subject property, and defaulted advances that can be securitized. Nationstar estimates the fair value using a market approach by utilizing the fair value of securities backed by similar advances on reverse mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.

REO – Nationstar determines the fair value of REO properties through the use of third-party appraisals and broker price opinions, adjusted for estimated selling costs. Such estimated selling costs include realtor fees and other anticipated closing costs. These values are adjusted to take into account factors that could cause the actual liquidation value of foreclosed properties to be different than the appraised values. This valuation adjustment is based upon Nationstar’s historical experience with REO. REO is classified as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
Derivative Instruments – Nationstar enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of its hedging strategy. The majority of these derivatives are exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, Nationstar utilizes the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract; therefore, these contracts are classified as Level 2. In addition, Nationstar enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers. These commitments are carried at fair value based on fair value of related mortgage loans which is based on observable market data. Nationstar adjusts the outstanding IRLCs with prospective borrowers based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded. IRLCs are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These IRLCs are classified as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.
Notes Payable – Notes payable consists of outstanding borrowing on Nationstar's warehouse and advance financing facilities.

31


As the underlying warehouse and advance finance facilities bear interest at a rate that is periodically adjusted based on a market index, the carrying amount reported on the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair value. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
Unsecured Senior Notes – The fair value of unsecured senior notes is based on quoted market prices and is considered Level 1 from the market observable inputs used to determine fair value.
Nonrecourse Debt – Legacy Assets – Nationstar estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. These prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices, and are classified as Level 3.
Excess Spread Financing – Nationstar estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions at June 30, 2012 being mortgage prepayment speeds of 19.0%, average life of 3.6 years, and discount rate of 14.8%. Changes in fair value to the excess spread financing are recorded as a component of service fee income in Nationstar's consolidated statement of operations. As these prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices based on the value of the underlying MSRs, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
Participating Interest Financing – Nationstar estimates the fair value using a market approach by utilizing the fair value of securities backed by similar participating interests in reverse mortgage loans. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.

15. Shareholders’ Equity
Share-based compensation is recognized in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This guidance requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations, based on the fair values. The amount of compensation is measured at the fair value of the awards when granted and this cost is expensed over the required service period, which is normally the vesting period of the award.
Nationstar Inc. has adopted the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan”), that offers certain key employees of Nationstar, consultants and non-employee directors equity-based awards. In connection with the initial public offering, on March 7, 2012, Nationstar Inc. made grants of restricted stock to management in the total amount of 1,191,117 shares and also to members of the Board in the total amount of 85,716 shares.
The restricted stock, net of forfeitures, is scheduled to vest over 3 years with 419,358 shares vesting in February 2013, 419,358

36


shares vesting in February 2014, and 420,617 shares vesting in February 2015. The weighted average grant date fair value of the restricted stock was $14.00.
The following table summarizes information about our restricted stock as of June 30, 2012 under the 2012 Plan (restricted stock in thousands):

In addition to the 2012 Plan, Nationstar management also had interests in certain of the predecessor parent company FIF’s restricted preferred units which fully vested on June 30, 2012. The weighted average grant date fair value of these units was $4.23. In conjunction with the final vesting under this plan, certain participants remitted a portion of their Nationstar Inc. common stock to Nationstar Mortgage LLC in payment of a portion of their federal tax withholdings on their vested shares. The participants paid the remainder of their required tax payments with cash. As a result of the above activity, Nationstar Mortgage LLC holds 212,156 shares of Nationstar Inc. common shares at their cost of $4.6 million. These shares are reflected in Nationstar's consolidated balance sheet as common shares held by subsidiary, a contra equity account. The shares are expected to be held by Nationstar Mortgage LLC until they can be distributed to Nationstar Inc. and retired.
Total compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for both the 2012 Plan and the predecessor plan recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $5.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Total compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $5.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Total compensation expenses, net of forfeitures, for the predecessor plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, was $5.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Nationstar expects to recognize $5.4 million of compensation expense in the last six months of 2012, $5.9 million in 2013, $2.5 million in 2014, and $0.4 million in 2015.

16. Earnings Per Share

Net income per share is computed under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares represent outstanding restricted stock.
17. Capital Requirements
Certain of Nationstar’s secondary market investors require various capital adequacy requirements, as specified in the respective selling and servicing agreements. To the extent that these mandatory, imposed capital requirements are not met, Nationstar’s secondary market investors may ultimately terminate Nationstar’s selling and servicing agreements, which would prohibit Nationstar from further originating or securitizing these specific types of mortgage loans. In addition, these secondary market investors may impose additional net worth or financial condition requirements based on an assessment of market conditions or other relevant factors.
Among Nationstar’s various capital requirements related to its outstanding selling and servicing agreements, the most restrictive of these requires Nationstar to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth balance of $293.8 million. As of June 30, 2012, Nationstar was in compliance with all of its selling and servicing capital requirements.
Additionally, Nationstar is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $175.0 million as of each quarter-end related to its outstanding Master Repurchase Agreements on its outstanding repurchase facilities. As of June 30, 2012, Nationstar was in compliance with these minimum tangible net worth requirements.

18. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
In the ordinary course of business, Nationstar Inc. and its subsidiaries and current and former officers and employees are routinely named as defendants in various legal actions, including class actions and other litigation, arising in connection with activities related to a national mortgage servicer and lender. Certain of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory, punitive and/or, statutory damages or claims for an indeterminate amount of damages. Further, in the ordinary course of business the Company and certain related parties can be or are involved in governmental and regulatory examinations, information gathering requests, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal), regarding the Company’s business, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief.
The Company seeks to resolve all litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company and contests liability, allegations of wrongdoing and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss an accrued liability is established. The actual costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued.
A 50 state task force of attorneys general as well as certain federal agencies are investigating issues related to the conduct of certain mortgage servicing companies and related service providers, in connection with mortgage foreclosures. While the Company is not involved in the investigation or negotiations regarding a settlement, the ultimate outcome could have a material impact on other mortgage servicers, including the Company.
When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and estimable. Once the matter is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount to litigation related expense. The Company will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Litigation related expense, which includes the fees paid to external legal providers, of $4.6 million and $6.2 million were included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. There were no significant additional litigation related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Based on current knowledge, and after consultation with counsel, management believes that the current legal accrued liability is appropriate, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, although the outcome of such proceedings could be material to the Company’s operating results and cash flows for a particular period depending on among other things, the level of the Company’s revenues or income for such period. However, in the event of significant developments on existing cases, it is possible that the ultimate resolution, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Lease Commitments
Nationstar leases various office facilities under non-cancelable lease agreements with primary terms extending through 2019. These lease agreements generally provide for market-rate renewal options, and may provide for escalations in minimum rentals over the lease term. Minimum annual rental commitments for office leases with unrelated parties and with initial or remaining terms of one year or more, net of sublease payments, are presented below (in thousands).

Loan and Other Commitments
Nationstar enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers whereby the Company commits to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and interest rates to the borrower. These IRLCs are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value (See Note 10, Derivative Financial Instruments).

In 2012, Nationstar completed its acquisitions of certain MSRs related to approximately $27.2 billion of unpaid principal balance in reverse mortgage loans from financial services companies. As servicer for these reverse mortgage loans, among other things, the Company is obligated to make advances to the loan customers as required. At June 30, 2012, the Company’s maximum unfunded advance obligation related to these MSRs was approximately $4.5 billion. Upon funding any portion of these advances, the Company expects to securitize and sell the advances in transactions that will be accounted for as financing arrangements.

Other Contingencies
In June 2011, Nationstar entered into an agreement to subservice loans for a financial services company. Nationstar began to subservice these loans in July and August 2011. This subservicing agreement included, among other things, a loss incentive and sharing arrangement. Under this arrangement, Nationstar can earn incentive fees of up to $2.5 million for successfully mitigating losses within a specific subserviced population of loans. This incentive fee would be recognized when earned. For this same population of loans, Nationstar is subject to loss sharing under certain conditions. Should losses in this population of loans exceed a specified level, Nationstar would be required to share a portion of the losses on such loans up to a maximum of $10.0 million. Losses under this arrangement would be recognized at the point at which Nationstar determines that a liability is expected to be incurred. At June 30, 2012, Nationstar has estimated no liability under this agreement.

During December 2009, Nationstar entered into a strategic relationship with a major mortgage market participant, which
contemplates, among other things, significant mortgage servicing rights and subservicing transfers to Nationstar upon terms to be determined. Under this arrangement, if certain delivery thresholds have been met, the market participant may require Nationstar to establish an operating division or newly created subsidiary with separate, dedicated employees within a specified timeline to service such mortgage servicing rights and subservicing. After a specified time period, this market participant may purchase the subsidiary at an agreed upon price. Since December 2010, all of the required delivery thresholds with this market participant have been met, but the market participant has not required the Company to establish an operating division or newly created subsidiary with separate, dedicated employees.

19. Business Segment Reporting
Nationstar currently conducts business in two separate operating segments: Servicing and Originations. The Servicing segment provides loan servicing on Nationstar’s total servicing portfolio, including the collection of principal and interest payments and the assessment of ancillary fees related to the servicing of mortgage loans. The Originations segment involves the origination, packaging, and sale of agency mortgage loans into the secondary markets via whole loan sales or securitizations. Nationstar reports the activity not related to either operating segment in the Legacy Portfolio and Other column. The Legacy Portfolio and Other column includes primarily all subprime mortgage loans originated in the latter portion of 2006 and during 2007 or acquired from Nationstar’s predecessor and consolidated VIEs which were consolidated pursuant to consolidation guidance related to VIEs adopted on January 1, 2010.
Nationstar’s segments are based upon Nationstar’s organizational structure which focuses primarily on the services offered. The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of Nationstar except for 1) expenses for consolidated back-office operations and general overhead-type expenses such as executive administration and accounting and 2) revenues generated on inter-segment services performed. Expenses are allocated to individual segments based on the estimated value of services performed, including total revenue contributions, personnel headcount, and the equity invested in each segment. Revenues generated or inter-segment services performed are valued based on similar services provided to external parties.

21. Disclosures Related to Transactions with Affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC
Nationstar maintains a marketing agreement with Springleaf Home Equity, Inc., formerly known as American General Home Equity, Inc., Springleaf General Financial Services of Arkansas, Inc., formerly known as American General Financial Services of Arkansas, Inc. and MorEquity, Inc. (collectively “Springleaf”), each of which are indirectly owned by investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Pursuant to this agreement, Nationstar markets mortgage originations products to customers of Springleaf, and is compensated by the originations fees of loans that Nationstar refinances.
Additionally, in January 2011, Nationstar entered into three agreements to act as the loan subservicer for Springleaf for a whole loan portfolio and two securitized loan portfolios totaling $4.4 billion for which Nationstar receives a monthly per loan subservicing fee and other performance incentive fees subject to the agreements with Springleaf. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, Nationstar recognized revenue of $5.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, in additional servicing and other performance incentive fees related to these portfolios. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, Nationstar recognized revenue of $2.5 million and $2.7 million , respectively, in additional servicing and other performance incentive fees related to these portfolios. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Nationstar had an outstanding receivable from Springleaf of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which was included as a component of accounts receivable.
Nationstar is the loan servicer for two securitized loan portfolios managed by Newcastle, which is managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC, for which Nationstar receives a monthly net servicing fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the unpaid principal balance of the portfolios, which was $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, Nationstar received servicing fees and other performance incentive fees of $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, Nationstar received servicing fees and other performance incentive fees of $2.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
Additionally, from December 2011 through June 2012, Nationstar entered into several agreements with Newcastle, where Nationstar sold to Newcastle the right to receive approximately 65% of the excess cash flow generated from certain acquired MSRs after receipt of a fixed basic servicing fee per loan. Nationstar will retain all ancillary income associated with servicing such MSRs and 35% of the excess cash flow after receipt of the fixed basic servicing fee. Nationstar will continue to be the servicer of the loans and provide all servicing and advancing functions for the portfolio. Newcastle will not have prior or ongoing obligations associated with this MSR portfolio. Furthermore, should Nationstar refinance any loan in such portfolio, subject to certain limitations, Nationstar will be required to transfer the new loan or a replacement loan of similar economic

51


characteristics into the portfolio. The new or replacement loan will be governed by the same terms set forth in the agreement described above.
The fair value on the outstanding liability related to these agreements was $266.7 million at June 30, 2012. Additionally, as a component of the underlying agreements, Newcastle held back a portion of the sales price, amounting to $34.5 million, pending certain conditions being satisfied by Nationstar. Such amount is recorded in accounts receivable and is expected to be received in third quarter 2012.
22. Related Party Disclosure
In March 2011, Nationstar entered into a limited partnership agreement with ANC. ANC is the parent company of NREIS, which through the ANC partnership Nationstar holds a non-controlling interest in NREIS, an ancillary real estate services and vendor management company that directly and indirectly provides title agency settlement or valuation services for loan originations and default management. As Nationstar is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the policies and procedures of the entity, and Nationstar owns less than 50% of the voting interests, Nationstar applies the equity method of accounting. In March 2012 as part of the initial public offering restructuring, Nationstar assumed FIF’s 13% ownership in NREIS, increasing the total Nationstar investment to 35%. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ending December 31, 2011, Nationstar disbursed $3.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for servicing-related advances. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ending December 31, 2011, Nationstar disbursed $7.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for servicing-related advances. Additionally, during May 2012, Nationstar advanced NREIS $2.0 million for future services. The amount is recorded in accounts receivable other in these financial statements.
23. Definitive Agreement to Acquire Certain Mortgage Servicing Assets of Residential Capital, LLC
On May 13, 2012, Nationstar signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) which was subsequently amended on June 28, 2012 to acquire certain residential mortgage servicing assets and other assets (collectively, “Mortgage Servicing Assets”) from Residential Capital, LLC and related entities (collectively, “ResCap”) in connection with ResCap’s proceedings before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy court”).
Nationstar expects the acquired Mortgage Servicing Assets to total approximately $371 billion, including $196 billion in primary residential MSRs and $174 billion in subservicing contracts, as measured by unpaid principal balances as of March 31, 2012, approximately $1.8 billion of related servicing advance receivables and certain other assets. The sale of the Mortgage Servicing Assets is expected to close by the first quarter of 2013, subject to certain conditions and auction described below.
The aggregate purchase price for the Mortgage Servicing Assets under the Agreement is approximately $2.4 billion. Nationstar expects to fund such purchase price through a combination of cash, the proceeds of a co-investment with Newcastle of up to $450 million, proceeds of advance financing facilities and the issuance of debt or equity.
Although Nationstar has been approved as the stalking-horse bidder by the Bankruptcy Court, other bidders may submit bids for the assets the Company is seeking to acquire. The auction for the mortgage servicing asset is scheduled to commence on October 23, 2012. If any such bidders submit bids, Nationstar can provide no assurances that it will be the winning bidder and ultimately permitted to purchase the assets Nationstar is seeking to acquire or that it will not be required to make changes, which changes could be material, to the terms of the Agreement in order to purchase the assets. If the Agreement is terminated as a result of the Bankruptcy Court's approval of a competing bidder, ResCap will be required to pay Nationstar a $24 million break-up fee in cash (a portion of which will be payable to Newcastle).
24. Subsequent Events
On July 19, 2012, Nationstar offered $100 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Notes due 2019, in a private placement transaction. The notes were issued with an issue premium of $5.5 million for net cash proceeds of $104.0 million. The notes are a further issuance of the $275 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Notes due 2019, issued in April 2012 (the "Existing Notes") and are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by each of Nationstar's current and future domestic subsidiaries, other than its securitization and certain finance subsidiaries and subsidiaries that in the future can be designated as excluded restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries. The notes are a further issuance of the Existing Notes and form a single series of debt securities with the Existing Notes.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In conjunction with the completion of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc.'s initial public offering, Nationstar Mortgage LLC became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of reorganizing the structure of FIF HE Holdings LLC (FIF) and Nationstar Mortgage LLC so that the common stock issuer was a corporation rather than a limited liability company. Investors in FIF exchanged their membership units for shares in Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. Because Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. had no operations prior to the reorganization and initial public offering, Nationstar Mortgage LLC is the predecessor company. The following discussion and analysis relates to the operations of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “we,” “us”, or “our” refer to the business of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. or its predecessor Nationstar Mortgage LLC as appropriate.
General
Our Business
We are a leading high touch non-bank residential mortgage servicer with a broad array of servicing capabilities across the residential mortgage product spectrum. We have been the fastest growing mortgage servicer since 2007 as measured by annual percentage growth in UPB, having grown 83.1% annually on a compounded basis. As of June 30, 2012, we serviced almost 1.1 million residential mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $193.1 billion, making us the largest high touch non-bank servicer in the United States. Our total servicing portfolio as of June 30, 2012 includes approximately $27.2 billion of servicing related to reverse residential mortgage loans which were acquired in January 2012 and June 2012. We currently outsource the servicing of our reverse residential mortgage loan portfolio to several servicing counterparties. Additionally, we made several acquisitions of forward MSRs in June 2012 related to UPB of approximately $72.8 billion. Of these acquisitions, approximately $6.2 billion of the underlying UPB were boarded in June 2012. The remainder were boarded in July 2012.
We service loans as the owner of the forward MSRs, which we refer to as “primary servicing,” and we service loans on behalf of other MSR or mortgage owners, which we refer to as “subservicing”. We acquire MSRs on a standalone basis and have also developed an innovative model for investing on a capital light basis by co-investing with financial partners in “excess MSRs.” Subservicing represents another capital light means of growing our servicing business, as subservicing contracts are typically awarded on a no-cost basis and do not require substantial capital. As of June 30, 2012, our primary servicing and subservicing, represented 61.1% and 24.8%, respectively of our total servicing portfolio, with 14.1% of our outstanding servicing portfolio consisting of reverse residential mortgage loans. In addition, we operate or have investments in several adjacent businesses designed to meet the changing needs of the mortgage industry. These businesses offer an array of ancillary services, including providing services for delinquent loans, managing loans in the foreclosure/REO process and providing title insurance agency, loan settlement and valuation services on newly originated and re-originated loans.
In June 2012, we closed an asset purchase agreement with Aurora Bank FSB and Aurora Loan Services LLC, (collectively “Aurora”). Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, we purchased MSRs to approximately 300,000 residential mortgage loans with a total unpaid principal balance of over $63 billion, $1.7 billion of servicing advance receivables, and certain other assets. The composition of the acquired MSR portfolio is approximately 75% non-conforming loans in private label securitizations and approximately 25% conforming loans in GSE pools. We also assumed certain liabilities.
In January 2012, we acquired the mortgage servicing rights related to a portfolio of reverse residential mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $7.9 billion. In June 2012, we completed two additional acquisitions of MSRs related to reverse mortgages. These acquisitions total approximately $19.4 billion in unpaid principal balance. Reverse mortgages provide seniors (62 years and older) with a loan secured by their home. The majority of reverse mortgages are secured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and are referred to as “HECMs” or Home Equity Conversion Mortgages. Like a typical home equity loan, reverse mortgages are designed to enable seniors to borrow against the value of their home. Unlike a typical home equity loan, no payment of principal or interest is required until the death of the borrower or sale of the home and the amount of the loan is dependent on the appraised value of the home at the time of origination, the interest rate on the loan and the borrower's age. Reverse mortgages may be either fully funded (fixed rate loan) or can provide for a line of credit that can be drawn periodically (adjustable rate “ARM” loan).
We are one of only a few non-bank servicers with a fully integrated loan originations platform to complement and enhance our servicing business. We originate primarily conventional agency (GSE) and government-insured residential mortgage loans and, to mitigate risk, typically sell these loans within 30 days while retaining the associated servicing rights. Our originations efforts are primarily focused on “re-origination,” which involves actively working with existing borrowers to refinance their mortgage loans. By re-originating loans for existing borrowers, we retain the servicing rights, thereby extending the longevity of the servicing cash flows, which we refer to as “recapture.”

53


We also have a legacy asset portfolio, which consists primarily of non-prime and nonconforming residential mortgage loans, most of which we originated from April to July 2007. In November 2009, we engaged in a transaction through which we term-financed our legacy assets with a nonrecourse loan. Additionally, we consolidated certain securitization trusts where it was determined that we had both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entities' (VIE) economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE pursuant to new consolidation accounting guidance related to VIEs adopted on January 1, 2010.
The analysis of our financial condition and results of operations as discussed herein is primarily focused on the combined results of our two Operating Segments: the Servicing Segment and the Originations Segment.
Our internet address is www.nationstarholdings.com. Through this internet website (under the “Investor Relations / Financial Information” link), we make available, free of charge, its reports that are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Critical Accounting Policies
Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, we have identified four policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to: (a) fair value measurements, (b) sale of mortgage loans, (c) accounting for mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt and (d) valuation of deferred tax assets. We believe that the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our consolidated financial statements to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition.

For further information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since March 31, 2012.

1Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of our segments. Adjusted EBITDA represents our Operating Segments' income, and excludes income and expenses that relate to the financing of the unsecured senior notes, depreciable (or amortizable) asset base of the business, income taxes (if any), exit costs from our 2007 restructuring and certain non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes results from our legacy asset portfolio and certain securitization trusts that were consolidated upon adoption of the accounting guidance eliminating the concept of a QSPE.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA provides us with a key measure of our Operating Segments' performance as it assists us in comparing our Operating Segments' performance on a consistent basis. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful in assessing the profitability of our core business and uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance as follows:
Financing arrangements for our Operating Segments are secured by assets that are allocated to these segments. Interest expense that relates to the financing of our unsecured senior notes is not considered in evaluating our operating performance because this obligation is serviced by the excess earnings from our Operating Segments after the debt obligations that are secured by their assets.
To monitor operating costs of each Operating Segment excluding the impact from depreciation, amortization and fair value change of the asset base, exit costs from our restructuring and non-cash operating expense, such as share-based compensation. Operating costs are analyzed to manage costs per our operating plan and to assess staffing levels, implementation of technology based solutions, rent and other general and administrative costs.
Management does not assess the growth prospects and the profitability of our legacy asset portfolio and certain securitization trusts that were previously consolidated, except to the extent necessary to assess whether cash flows from the assets in the legacy asset portfolio are sufficient to service its debt obligations.
We also use Adjusted EBITDA (with additional adjustments) to measure our compliance with covenants such as leverage coverage ratios for our unsecured senior notes.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis

55


of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service principal payments related to the financing of the business;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our corporate debt;
although depreciation and amortization and changes in fair value of MSRs are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these and other limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is presented to provide additional information about our operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, net income, operating cash flow and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

Recent Developments
On July 19, 2012, Nationstar offered $100 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Notes due 2019, in a private placement transaction. We issued the notes with an issue premium of $5.5 million for net cash proceeds of $104.0 million. The notes are a further issuance of the $275 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Notes due 2019, issued in April 2012 (the "Existing Notes") and are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by each of Nationstar's current and future domestic subsidiaries, other than its securitization and certain finance subsidiaries and subsidiaries that in the future can be designated as excluded restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries. The notes are a further issuance of the Existing Notes and form a single series of debt securities with the Existing Notes. Effective June 30, 2012, Nationstar Inc. and its two direct wholly-owned subsidiaries became guarantors of the unsecured notes as well.

Definitive Agreement to Acquire Certain Mortgage Servicing Assets of Residential Capital, LLC
On May 13, 2012, Nationstar signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) which was subsequently amended on June 28, 2012 to acquire certain residential mortgage servicing assets and other assets (collectively, “Mortgage Servicing Assets”) from Residential Capital, LLC and related entities (collectively, “ResCap”) in connection with ResCap’s proceedings before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy court”).
Nationstar expects the acquired Mortgage Servicing Assets to total approximately $371 billion, including $196 billion in primary residential MSRs and $174 billion in subservicing contracts, as measured by unpaid principal balances as of March 31, 2012, approximately $1.8 billion of related servicing advance receivables and certain other assets. The sale of Mortgage Servicing Assets is expected to close by the first quarter of 2013, subject to certain conditions and auction described below.
The aggregate purchase price for the Mortgage Servicing Assets under the Agreement is approximately $2.4 billion. Nationstar expects to fund such purchase price through a combination of cash, the proceeds of a co-investment with Newcastle of up to $450 million, the proceeds of advance and financing facilities, and the issuance of debt or equity.
Although Nationstar has been approved as the stalking-horse bidder by the Bankruptcy Court, other bidders may submit bids for the assets the Company is seeking to acquire. The auction for the assets is scheduled to commence on October 23, 2012. If any such bidders submit bids, Nationstar can provide no assurances that it will be the winning bidder and ultimately permitted to purchase the assets Nationstar is seeking to acquire or that it will not be required to make changes, which changes could be material, to the terms of the Agreement in order to purchase the assets. If the Agreement is terminated as a result of the Bankruptcy Court's approval of a competing bidder, ResCap will be required to pay Nationstar a $24 million break-up fee in cash (a portion of which will be payable to Newcastle).

Results of Operations
Below is a summarization of our consolidated operating results for the periods indicated. We provide further discussion of our results of operations for each of our reportable segments under “Segment Results” below. Certain income and expenses not allocated to our reportable segments are presented under “Legacy Portfolio and Other” below and discussed in “Note 19—Business Segment Reporting”, in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Comparison of Consolidated Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Revenues increased $117.8 million from $82.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $200.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, due to increases in both our total fee income and our gain on mortgage loans held for sale. The increase in our total fee income was primarily the result of our higher average forward servicing portfolio balance of $95.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $66.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and an increase in loss mitigation and performance based incentive fees combined with fees earned from our reverse mortgage portfolio, which we began servicing in January 2012. The increase in the gain on loans held for sale was a result of the $1,082.5 million, or 149.5%, increase in the amount of loans originated during the 2012 period compared to the 2011 period, higher margins earned on the sale of residential mortgage loans during the period and an increase in the value of our outstanding derivative financial instruments as a result of an increase in our outstanding mortgage loan commitments.
Expenses and impairments increased $62.0 million from $68.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $130.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to the increase in compensation expenses related to increased staffing levels in order to accommodate our larger servicing portfolio and originations volumes as well as other related increases in general and administrative expenses.
Other expense increased $8.5 million from $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $20.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in our net interest margin resulting from higher average outstanding balances on our outstanding warehouse and advance facilities combined with a higher average outstanding balance on our senior unsecured notes.
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred tax expense of $12.8 million, with no corresponding tax expense during the comparable 2011 period. During March 2012, we became a taxable entity in conjunction with our initial public offering.
Comparison of Consolidated Results for the Six Months Ended June, 30 2012 and 2011
Revenues increased $194.4 million from $167.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $361.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, due to increases in both our total fee income and our gain on mortgage loans held for sale. The increase in our total fee income was primarily the result of our higher average forward servicing portfolio balance of $96.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $66.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and an increase in loss mitigation and performance based incentive fees combined with fees earned from our reverse mortgage portfolio, which we began servicing in January 2012. The increase in the gain on loans held for sale was a result of the $1,618.3 million, or 117.4%, increase in the amount of loans originated during the 2012 period compared to the 2011 period, higher margins earned on the sale of residential mortgage loans during the period and an increase in the value of our outstanding derivative financial instruments as a result of an increase in our outstanding mortgage loan commitments.
Expenses and impairments increased $90.4 million from $136.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $226.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to the increase in compensation expenses related to increased staffing levels in order to accommodate our larger servicing portfolio and originations volumes as well as other related increases in general and administrative expenses.
Other expense increased $10.6 million from $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in our net interest margin resulting from higher average outstanding balances on our outstanding warehouse and advance facilities combined with a higher average outstanding balance on our senior unsecured notes.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred tax expense of $15.9 million, with no corresponding expense during the comparable 2011 period. During March 2012, we became a taxable entity in conjunction with our initial public offering.
Segment Results
Our primary business strategy is to generate recurring, stable income from managing and growing our servicing portfolio. We operate through two business segments: the Servicing Segment and the Originations Segment, which we refer to collectively as our Operating Segments. We report the activity not related to either operating segment in Legacy Portfolio and Other. Legacy

58


Portfolio and Other includes primarily all subprime mortgage loans originated mostly from April to July 2007 or acquired, and VIEs which were consolidated pursuant to the adoption of consolidation guidance related to VIEs. As of June 30, 2012, we had no consolidated VIEs.
The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of the consolidated financial statements except for (i) expenses for consolidated back-office operations and general overhead expenses such as executive administration and accounting and (ii) revenues generated on inter-segment services performed. Expenses are allocated to individual segments based on the estimated value of the services performed, including total revenue contributions, personnel headcount, and the equity invested in each segment. Revenues generated or inter-segment services performed are valued based on similar serviced provided to external parties.

Servicing Segment
The Servicing Segment provides loan servicing on our primary and subservicing portfolios, including the collection of principal and interest payments and the generation of ancillary fees related to the servicing of mortgage loans. We also service approximately $27.2 billion in reverse residential mortgage loans which we acquired in 2012. Servicing reverse mortgage loans involves monitoring the condition of the property, advancing for delinquent taxes and insurance, advancing for line of credit draws, and dealing with foreclosure and recovery in the event of default.
Increase in aggregate UPB of our servicing portfolio primarily governs the increase in revenues, expenses and other income (expense) of our Servicing Segment.

Servicing Segment for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Service Fee Income
Servicing fee income was $85.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $52.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $33.2 million, or 63.0%, primarily due to the net effect of the following:

Increase of $35.6 million due to higher average UPB on our forward servicing portfolio of $95.8 billion in the 2012 period compared to $66.2 billion in the comparable 2011 period. The increase in our servicing portfolio was primarily driven by an increase in average UPB for loans serviced for GSEs and other subservicing contracts for third-party investors of $70.5 billion in the 2012 period compared to $51.0 billion in the comparable 2011 period. In addition, we also experienced an increase in average UPB for our private asset-backed securitizations portfolio, which increased to $17.7 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $6.8 billion in the comparable 2011 period.
Increase of $5.0 million due to increased loss mitigation and performance-based incentive fees earned from a GSE.
Increase of $0.8 million due to higher modification fees earned from HAMP and non-HAMP modifications.
Increase of $1.0 million from increased collections from late fees and other ancillary charges.
Increase of $6.2 million from fees earned from our reverse mortgage portfolio for which we began servicing in January 2012.
Decrease of $13.0 million from change in fair value on MSRs which was recognized in servicing fee income. The fair value of our MSRs is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows related to servicing these loans. The revenue components of the cash flows are servicing fees, interest earned on custodial accounts, and other ancillary income. The expense components include operating costs related to servicing the loans (including delinquency and foreclosure costs) and interest expenses on servicing advances. The expected future cash flows are primarily impacted by prepayment estimates, delinquencies, and market discount rates. Generally, the value of MSRs increases when interest rates increase and decreases when interest rates decline due to the effect those changes in interest rates have on prepayment estimates. Other factors affecting the MSR value includes the estimated effects of loan modifications on expected cash flows. Such modifications tend to positively impact cash flows by extending the expected life of the affected MSR and potentially producing additional revenue opportunities depending on the type of modification. In valuing the MSRs, we believe our assumptions are consistent with the assumptions other major market participants use. These assumptions include a level of future modification activity that we believe major market participants would use in their valuation of MSRs. Internally, we have modification goals that exceed the assumptions utilized in our valuation model. Nevertheless, were we to apply an assumption of a level of future modifications consistent with our internal goals to our MSR valuation, we do not believe the resulting increase in value would be material. Additionally, several state attorneys general have previously requested that certain mortgage servicers, including us, suspend foreclosure proceedings pending internal review to ensure compliance with applicable law, and we received requests from four such state attorneys general. Although we have resumed those previously delayed proceedings, changes in the foreclosure process that may be required by government or regulatory bodies could increase the cost of servicing and diminish the value of our MSRs. We utilize assumptions of servicing costs that include delinquency and foreclosure costs that we believe major market participants would use to value their MSRs. We periodically compare our internal MSR valuation to third-party valuation of our MSRs to help substantiate our market assumptions. We have considered the costs related to the delayed proceedings in our assumptions and we do not believe that any resulting decrease in the MSR was material given the expected short-term nature of the issue.
Decrease of $2.4 million from change in fair value of our excess spread financing arrangements. In conjunction with various MSR acquisitions, we have entered into sale and assignment agreements, which we treated as financings, whereby we sold the right to receive 65% of the excess cash flow generated from certain underlying MSR portfolios after receipt of a fixed basic servicing fee per loan. We measure these financing arrangements at fair value.

Other Fee Income
Other fee income was $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.5 million, or 71.4%, due to higher commissions earned on lender placed insurance and higher REO sales commissions.

Other Income (Expense)
Total other income (expense) was $(22.9) million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $(12.8) million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase in expense, net of income, of $10.1 million, or 78.9%, primarily due to the net effect of the following:

Interest income was $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $4.5 million primarily attributable to interest earned on our outstanding participating interests in reverse mortgages of $5.3 million, with no respective interest amounts earned in the comparable 2011 period.
Interest expense was $28.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $13.5 million for the three ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $14.8 million, or 109.6%, primarily due to higher average outstanding debt of $1,151.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $610.3 million in the comparable 2011 period. The impact of the higher debt balances is partially offset by lower interest rates due to declines in the base LIBOR and decreases in the overall index margin on outstanding servicer advance facilities. Interest expense from the senior

unsecured notes was $13.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Interest expense for June 30, 2011 also includes gains for the ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge of $0.5 million, with no respective amounts for the 2012 period.

Servicing fee income was $169.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $110.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $59.1 million, or 53.4%, primarily due to the net effect of the following:

Increase of $49.3 million due to higher average UPB on our forward servicing portfolio of $96.0 billion in the 2012 period compared to $66.0 billion in the comparable 2011 period. The increase in our servicing portfolio was primarily driven by an increase in average UPB for loans serviced for GSEs and other subservicing contracts for third-party investors of $71.3 billion in the 2012 period compared to $51.4 billion in the comparable 2011 period. In addition, we also experienced an increase in average UPB for our private asset-backed securitizations portfolio, which increased to $18.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $6.9 billion in the comparable 2011 period.
Increase of $10.8 million due to increased loss mitigation and performance-based incentive fees earned from a GSE.
Increase of $1.5 million due to higher modification fees earned from HAMP and non-HAMP modifications.
Increase of $2.2 million from higher collections from late fees and other ancillary charges.
Increase of $10.1 million from fees earned from our reverse mortgage portfolio for which we began servicing in January 2012.
Decrease of $8.7 million from change in fair value on MSRs which was recognized in servicing fee income. The fair value of our MSRs is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows related to servicing these loans. The revenue components of the cash flows are servicing fees, interest earned on custodial accounts, and other ancillary income.

Expenses and impairments were $48.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $23.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $24.3 million, or 102.5%, primarily due to the net effect of the following:

Increase of $18.0 million in salaries, wages and benefits expense from increase in average headcount of 783 in 2011 to

65


948 in 2012 and increases in performance-based compensation due to increases in originations volume.
Increase of $6.2 million in general and administrative and occupancy expense primarily due to an increase in our overhead expenses from the higher originations volume in the 2012 period.
Other Income and Expenses
Total other income (expense) was $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase in income, net of expense, of $0.6 million, or 150.0% primarily due to the net effect of the following:

Interest income was $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.1 million, or 72.4%, representing interest earned from originated loans prior to sale or securitization. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the volume of originations. Loans are typically sold within 30 days of origination.
Interest expense was $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.5 million, or 60.0%, primarily due to an increase in originations volume in 2012 and associated financing required to originate these loans, combined with a slight increase in outstanding average days in warehouse on newly originated loans. Additionally, we recognized $0.8 million in additional amortization on our outstanding debt facilities due to recent amendments and modifications on our outstanding warehouse facilities.
Originations Segment for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Originations Revenue
Total revenues were $178.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $51.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $127.3 million, or 248.1%, primarily due to the net effect of the following:

Other fee income was $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 27.8%, primarily due to a decrease in net points and fees collected as a result of an increase in fees paid to third party mortgage brokers. Our wholesale originations business operates largely through third-party mortgage brokers. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, wholesale consisted of 37.1% of our total origination volume, compared to 33.6% for the comparable 2011 period.

Other Income and Expenses
Total other income (expense) was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease in income, net of expense, of $0.2 million, or 20.0% primarily due to the net effect of the following:

Interest income was $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $3.1 million, or 56.4%, representing interest earned from originated loans prior to sale or securitization. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the volume of originations. Loans are typically sold within 30 days of origination.
Interest expense was $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $3.3 million, or 73.3%, primarily due to an increase in originations volume in 2012 and associated financing required to originate these loans, combined with a slight increase in outstanding average days in warehouse on newly originated loans. Additionally, we recognized an additional $1.2 million in amortization on our outstanding debt facilities due to recent amendments and modifications on our outstanding warehouse facilities.

Legacy Portfolio and Other
Our Legacy Portfolio and Other consist primarily of non-prime and nonconforming residential mortgage loans that we primarily originated from April to July 2007. Revenues and expenses are primarily a result of mortgage loans transferred to securitization trusts that were structured as secured borrowings, resulting in carrying the securitized loans as mortgage loans on our consolidated balance sheets and recognizing the asset-backed certificates as nonrecourse debt. These loans were transferred on October 1, 2009, from mortgage loans held for sale to a held-for-investment classification at fair value on the transfer date. Subsequent to the transfer date, we completed the securitization of the mortgage loans, which was structured as a secured borrowing. This structure resulted in carrying the securitized loans as mortgages on our consolidated balance sheet and recognizing the asset-backed certificates acquired by third parties as nonrecourse debt.
Effective January 1, 2010, new accounting guidance eliminated the concept of a QSPE. Consequently, all existing securitization trusts are considered VIEs and are now subject to the new consolidation guidance. Upon consolidation of certain of these VIEs, we recognized the securitized mortgage loans related to these securitization trusts as mortgage loans held for investment, subject to ABS nonrecourse debt. See “Note 3 – Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations” to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, we elected the fair value option provided for by ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments-Overall. Assets and liabilities related to these VIEs are included in Legacy Assets and Other in our segmented results.
In December 2011, we sold our remaining variable interest in a securitization trust that had been a consolidated VIE since January 1, 2010 and deconsolidated the variable interest. Upon deconsolidation of this VIE, we derecognized the related mortgage loans held for investment, subject to ABS nonrecourse debt and the ABS nonrecourse debt.
The table below provides detail of the characteristics of our securitization trusts included in Legacy Portfolio and other for the periods indicated (in thousands).

Legacy Portfolio and Other for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Total revenues were $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $0.7 million. This decrease was primarily a result of decreased ancillary income on our legacy portfolio.
Total expenses and impairments were $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $3.8 million, or 77.6%. This change was primarily due to an increase in total allocated overhead charges to our Legacy Portfolio and Other as a result of our overall growth.
Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to the effects of the derecognition of a previously consolidated VIE as of December 31, 2011.
Fair value changes in ABS securitizations were $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, with no related charges for the 2012 period due to the ABS nonrecourse debt and related mortgage loans held for investment and related REO that was deconsolidated in December 2011 on the previously consolidated VIE.
Legacy Portfolio and Other for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Total revenues were $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $1.4 million. This decrease was primarily a result of decreased ancillary income on our legacy portfolio.
Total expenses and impairments were $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $6.7 million, or 61.5%. This change was primarily due to an increase in total allocated overhead charges to our Legacy Portfolio and Other as a result of our overall growth.
Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to the effects of the derecognition of a previously consolidated VIE as of December 31, 2011.
Fair value changes in ABS securitizations were $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, with no related charges for the 2012 period due to the ABS nonrecourse debt and related mortgage loans held for investment and related REO that was deconsolidated in December 2011 on the previously consolidated VIE.

Analysis of Items on Consolidated Balance Sheet
Assets
Restricted cash consists of certain custodial accounts related to collections on certain mortgage loans and mortgage loan advances that have been pledged to debt counterparties under various master repurchase agreements (MRAs). Restricted cash was $119.5 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $48.0 million from December 31, 2011, primarily a result of higher servicer advance reimbursement amounts. Additionally, in 2012, we began servicing reverse residential mortgages. Our June 2012 restricted cash balance contains approximately $28.3 million in custodial deposits related to reverse mortgage loans which will be remitted to certain GSEs as required under various securities agreements.

Accounts receivable consists primarily of accrued interest receivable on mortgage loans and securitizations, collateral deposits on surety bonds and advances made to nonconsolidated securitization trusts, as required under various servicing agreements related to delinquent loans, which are ultimately paid back to us from the securitization trusts. Accounts receivable increased $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion at June 30, 2012, primarily due to the acquisition of the Aurora MSRs and related advances.

68



Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value. We estimate fair value by evaluating a variety of market indicators including recent trades and outstanding commitments. Mortgage loans held for sale were $837.9 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $379.3 million from December 31, 2011, primarily due to $3.0 billion of loan originations during the 2012 period offset by $2.7 billion in mortgage loan sales.

Mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt - Legacy Assets consist of nonconforming or subprime mortgage loans securitized which serve as collateral for the nonrecourse debt. Mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt - Legacy Assets was $238.2 million at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $5.3 million from December 31, 2011, as $3.2 million UPB was transferred to REO during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Reverse mortgage interests consists of scheduled and unscheduled draws on reverse residential mortgage loans, capitalized interest and servicing fees, and fees paid to taxing authorities to cover unpaid taxes and insurance. In January and June 2012, we purchased the servicing rights to certain reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgage interests were $310.1 million at June 30, 2012, with no corresponding balance at December 31, 2011.

Receivables from affiliates consist of periodic transactions with Nationstar Regular Holdings, Ltd., a subsidiary of FIF. These transactions typically involve the monthly payment of principal and interest advances that are required to be remitted to securitization trusts as required under various Pooling and Servicing Agreements. These amounts are later repaid to us when principal and interest advances are recovered from the respective borrowers. Receivables from affiliates were $13.1 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $8.5 million from December 31, 2011. Prior to our March 2012 restructuring in conjunction with our initial public offering, FIF contributed a portion of the outstanding balance in receivables from affiliates related to outstanding interest rate swap settlements to the Company eliminating this payable amount.

MSRs at fair value consist of servicing assets related to all existing forward residential mortgage loans transferred to a third party in a transfer that meets the requirements for sale accounting or through the acquisition of the right to service residential mortgage loans that do not relate to our assets. MSRs were $596.5 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $345.4 million over December 31, 2011, primarily a result of the purchase of servicing portfolios for $341.7 million combined with capitalization of $24.1 million newly created MSRs, and a $20.4 million decrease in the fair value of our MSRs.

MSRs at amortized cost of $8.4 million at June 30, 2012 represents MSRs for certain reverse loans that we acquired during 2012. Prior to 2012, we had no reverse mortgage servicing rights. Our MSRs for reverse loans are treated as a separate class of servicing assets.

Property and equipment, net is comprised of land, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements, computer software, computer hardware, and software in development and other. These assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment, net was $39.1 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $15.0 million from December 31, 2011, as we invested in information technology systems to support volume growth in both our Servicing and Originations Segments, as well as the addition of certain property acquired from the Aurora purchase.

REO, net represents property we acquired as a result of foreclosures on delinquent mortgage loans. REO, net is recorded at estimated fair value, less costs to sell, at the date of foreclosure. Any subsequent operating activity and declines in value are charged to earnings. REO, net was $3.4 million at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $0.3 million from December 31, 2011. This change was primarily due to the transfer of $3.2 million of mortgage loans held for investment to REO, offset by liquidations.

Other assets include deferred financing costs, derivative financial instruments, prepaid expenses, loans subject to repurchase rights from Ginnie Mae and equity method investments. Other assets increased $120.1 million from December 31, 2011 to $226.3 million, primarily due to $41.9 million in increase in derivative financial instruments, $10.4 million increase in loans subject to repurchase rights from Ginnie Mae, and $3.2 million increase in equity method investment in ANC Acquisition LLC (ANC) due to an additional 13% ownership transfer from FIF from the corporate restructuring, offset by a $27.1 million decrease in deposits on MSR acquisitions that were completed in 2012. In addition, we had $72 million placed in escrow at June 30, 2012 related to our definitive agreement to acquire certain assets from Residential Capital, LLC (see Note 8, Other Assets).

Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity

At June 30, 2012, total liabilities were $4.3 billion, a $2.8 billion increase from December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $1.5 billion increase in notes payable, our issuance of $275 million in unsecured senior notes in April 2012, an increase in payables and accrued liabilities of $456.0 million, an increase in excess spread financing of $222.1 million, and an increase

69


in participating interest financing of $181.1 million. The increases are generally the result of our acquisitions of MSR portfolios, including Aurora, the increase in our mortgage origination business and our entry into servicing reverse mortgages.

Included in our payables and accrued liabilities caption on our balance sheet is our reserve for repurchases and indemnifications of $12.4 million and $10.0 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This liability represents our (i) estimate of losses to be incurred on the repurchase of certain loans that we previously sold and (ii) estimate of losses to be incurred for indemnification of losses incurred by purchasers or insurers with respect to loans that we sold. Certain sale contracts include provisions requiring us to repurchase a loan or indemnify the purchaser or insurer for losses if a borrower fails to make certain initial loan payments due to the acquirer or if the accompanying mortgage loan fails to meet certain customary representations and warranties. These representations and warranties are made to the loan purchasers or insurers about various characteristics of the loans, such as the manner of origination, the nature and extent of underwriting standards applied and the types of documentation being provided and typically are in place for the life of the loan. Although the representations and warranties are in place for the life of the loan, we believe that most repurchase requests occur within the first five years of the loan. In the event of a breach of the representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser for losses it sustains on the loan. In addition, an investor may request that we refund a portion of the premium paid on the sale of mortgage loans if a loan is prepaid within a certain amount of time from the date of sale. We record a provision for estimated repurchases, loss indemnification and premium recapture on loans sold, which is charged to gain (loss) on mortgage loans held for sale.

We increase the reserve by applying an estimated loss factor to the principal balance of loan sales. Secondarily, the reserve may be increased based on outstanding claims received. We have observed an increase in repurchase requests in each of the last four years. We believe that because of the increase in our loan originations since 2008, repurchase requests are likely to increase. Should home values continue to decrease, our realized loan losses from loan repurchases and indemnifications may increase as well. As such, our reserve for repurchases may increase beyond our current expectations. While the ultimate amount of repurchases and premium recapture is an estimate, we consider the liability to be adequate at each balance sheet date.

At June 30, 2012, total shareholders' equity was $633.1 million, a $351.8 million increase from December 31, 2011, which is primarily attributable to net income of $86.5 million in the 2012 period, $246.5 million in IPO proceeds, contributions of $12.8 million from FIF and $8.0 million in share-based compensation.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
Our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the effects of general levels of inflations. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Recent Accounting Developments
See Note 2, Recent Accounting Developments, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for details of recently issued accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity measures our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including the funding of servicing advances, the payment of operating expenses, the originations of loans and the repayment of borrowings. Our cash balance decreased from $62.4 million as of December 31, 2011 to $15.9 million as of June 30, 2012, primarily due to cash outflows in our operating and investing activities, offset by cash inflows from financing activities.

In March 2012 we completed an initial public offering. As part of this offering we raised approximately $247 million in additional capital, net of expenses.

In April 2012, we completed the offering of $275.0 million of unsecured senior notes, with a maturity date of May 2019. After deduction the initial purchasers' discounts, we received net cash proceeds of approximately $269.5 million. Under the terms of these unsecured senior notes, we pay interest biannually to the note holders at an interest rate of 9.625%. We intend to use a portion of the cash proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include future acquisitions and transfers of servicing portfolios. In addition, in July 2012, we issued an additional $100 million of unsecured senior notes as an add on to the $275 million of unsecured senior notes issued in April 2012.

We grew our servicing portfolio from $65.7 billion in UPB as of June 30, 2011 to $193.1 billion in UPB as of June 30, 2012. We shifted our strategy after 2007 to leverage our industry-leading servicing capabilities and capitalize on the opportunities to grow our originations platform which has led to the strengthening of our liquidity position. As a part of our shift in strategy, we ceased originating non-prime loans in 2007, and new originations have been focused on loans that are eligible to be sold to GSEs. Since 2008, substantially all originated loans have either been sold or are pending sale.

As part of the normal course of our business, we borrow money periodically to fund servicing advances and loan originations. The loans we originate are financed through several warehouse lines on a short-term basis. We typically hold the loans for approximately 30 days and then sell the loans or place them in government securitizations and repay the borrowings under the warehouse lines. We rely upon several counterparties to provide us with financing facilities to fund a portion of our servicing advances and to fund our loan originations on a short- term basis. Our ability to fund current operations depends upon our ability to secure these types of short term financings on acceptable terms and to renew or replace the financings as they expire.

At this time, we see no material negative trends that we believe would affect our access to long-term borrowings, short-term borrowings or bank credit lines sufficient to maintain our current operations, or would likely cause us to cease to be in compliance with any applicable covenants in our indebtedness or that would inhibit our ability to fund operations and capital commitments for the next 12 months.


71


Our primary sources of funds for liquidity include: (i) lines of credit, other secured borrowings and the unsecured senior notes; (ii) servicing fees and ancillary fees; (iii) payments received from sale or securitization of loans; (iv) payments received from mortgage loans held for sale; and (v) payments from the liquidation or securitization of our outstanding participating interests in reverse mortgage loans.

Our primary uses of funds for liquidity include: (i) funding of servicing advances; (ii) originations of loans; (iii) payment of interest expenses; (iv) payment of operating expenses; (v) repayment of borrowings; (vi) payments for acquisitions of MSRs; and (vii) scheduled and unscheduled draws on our serviced reverse residential mortgage loans.

Our servicing agreements impose on us various rights and obligations that affect our liquidity. Among the most significant of these obligations is the requirement that we advance our own funds to meet contractual principal and interest payments for certain investors and to pay taxes, insurance, foreclosure costs and various other items that are required to preserve the assets being serviced. Delinquency rates and prepayment speed affect the size of servicing advance balances. As a result of the agreement we entered into to purchase the servicing rights to certain reverse mortgages from a financial institution, we will be required to fund payments due to borrowers, which advances are typically greater than advances on forward residential mortgages. These advances are typically recovered upon weekly or monthly reimbursement or from sale in the market.

We intend to continue to seek opportunities to acquire loan servicing portfolios and/or businesses, including ResCap, that engage in loan servicing and/or loan originations. Any future acquisitions could require substantial additional capital in excess of cash from operations. We would expect to finance the capital required for acquisitions through a combination of additional issuances of equity, corporate indebtedness, asset backed acquisition financing and/or cash from operations.

Operating Activities

Our operating activities used $356.6 million of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to providing $116.1 million of cash flow for the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash used by operating activities of $472.7 million during the 2012 period was primarily due to higher volume originations of residential mortgage loans partially offset by higher volume of sales of mortgage loans. The decrease was primarily due to the net effect of the following:

Decrease of $1,618.4 million due to higher originations volume. We originated $2,996.4 million in residential mortgage loans during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $1,378.0 in mortgage originations for the comparable 2011 period. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1,208.8 million in our cash inflows from proceeds received from the sale of our residential mortgage loans and payments received on mortgage loans. We received $2,724.4 million in cash proceeds from loan sales and principal collections for the six month ended June 30, 2012, compared to $1,515.6 million for the comparable 2011 period.
Increase of $23.1 million in cash outflows used by working capital which used $49.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $26.0 million in cash outflow for the comparable 2011 period.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities used $1,968.7 million and provided $18.6 million of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $1,987.3 million decrease in cash flows used by investing activities from the 2011 period to the 2012 period was primarily a result of our two significant MSR acquisitions. In May 2012, we acquired the servicing rights of a $10.4 billion forward residential servicing portfolio, which was scheduled to fully transfer in July 2012. We made an initial deposit on this MSR purchase in June 2012 of $16.1 million. Additionally in June 2012, we acquired the servicing rights of another $63 billion forward residential servicing portfolio, which was scheduled to fully transfer in July 2012. In June 2012, we paid the full purchase price of $1,960.8 million.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities provided $2,278.7 million and used $153.4 million of cash flow during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $2,125.3 million increase in cash flows provided by our financing activities was primarily the result of our June 2012 MSR acquisition, as we leveraged our existing facilities to finance the additional delinquency and servicer advances which were acquired. As a result of these acquisitions, combined with the increase our originations volume, we increased our borrowings on our outstanding advance and warehouse facilities by $1,539.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to a $105.0 million paydown during the comparable 2011 period. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, we also completed our March 2012 initial public offering in which we raised approximately $250 million in capital, combined with proceeds from our April 2012 high yield debt offering in which we received $269.5 million in net cash proceeds.

In addition to the above contractual obligations, we have also been involved with several securitizations of ABS, which were structured as secured borrowings. These structures resulted in us carrying the securitized loans as mortgages on our consolidated balance sheet and recognizing the asset-backed certificates acquired by third parties as nonrecourse debt. The timing of the principal payments on this nonrecourse debt is dependent on the payments received on the underlying mortgage loans and liquidation of REO. The outstanding principal balance on our Nonrecourse Debt-Legacy Assets was $106.3 million at June 30, 2012. The repayment of our excess spread financing is based on amounts received on the underlying mortgage loans. As such, we have excluded the financing from the table above. The fair value of our excess spread financing was $266.7 million at June 30, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market risks which include interest rate risk, consumer credit risk and counterparty credit risk.

Interest Rate Risk


73


Changes in interest rates affect our operations primarily as follows:


Servicing Segment

an increase in interest rates would increase our costs of servicing our outstanding debt, including our ability to finance servicing advances;
a decrease (increase) in interest rates would generally increase (decrease) prepayment rates and may require us to report a decrease (increase) in the value of our MSRs;
a change in prevailing interest rates could impact our earnings from our custodial deposit accounts; and
an increase in interest rates could generate an increase in delinquency, default and foreclosure rates resulting in an increase in both operating expenses and interest expense and could cause a reduction in the value of our assets.

Originations Segment

a substantial and sustained increase in prevailing interest rates could adversely affect our loan originations volume because refinancing an existing loan would be less attractive and qualifying for a loan may be more difficult; and
an increase in interest rates would increase our costs of servicing our outstanding debt, including our ability to finance loan originations;

We actively manage the risk profiles of IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale on a daily basis and enter into forward sales of MBS in an amount equal to the portion of the IRLC expected to close, assuming no change in mortgage interest rates. In addition, to manage the interest rate risk associated with mortgage loans held for sale, we enter into forward sales of MBS to deliver mortgage loan inventory to investors.

Consumer Credit Risk

We sell our loans on a nonrecourse basis. We also provide representations and warranties to purchasers and insurers of the loans sold that typically are in place for the life of the loan. In the event of a breach of these representations and warranties, we may be required to repurchase a mortgage loan or indemnify the purchaser, and any subsequent loss on the mortgage loan may be borne by us. If there is no breach of a representation and warranty provision, we have no obligation to repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor against loss. The outstanding UPB of loans sold by us represents the maximum potential exposure related to representation and warranty provisions.

We maintain a reserve for losses on loans repurchased or indemnified as a result of breaches of representations and warranties on our sold loans. Our estimate is based on our most recent data regarding loan repurchases and indemnity payments, actual credit losses on repurchased loans, recovery history, among other factors. Our assumptions are affected by factors both internal and external in nature. Internal factors include, among other things, level of loan sales, as well as to whom the loans are sold, the expectation of credit loss on repurchases and indemnifications, our success rate at appealing repurchase demands and our ability to recover any losses from third parties. External factors that may affect our estimate includes, among other things, the overall economic condition in the housing market, the economic condition of borrowers, the political environment at investor agencies and the overall U.S. and world economy. Many of the factors are beyond our control and may lead to judgments that are susceptible to change.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to various agreements. We monitor the credit ratings of our counterparties and do not anticipate losses due to counterparty non-performance.

Sensitivity Analysis

We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes (increases and decreases) in interest rates.

We use a duration-based model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts on our loan portfolio, certain other interest-bearing liabilities measured at fair value and interest rate derivatives portfolios. The primary assumption used in these models is that an increase or decrease in the benchmark interest rate produces a parallel shift in the yield curve across all maturities.

We utilize a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of MSRs and the impact of parallel interest rate shifts on

74


MSRs. The primary assumptions in this model are prepayment speeds, market discount rates and cost to service. However, this analysis ignores the impact of interest rate changes on certain material variables, such as the benefit or detriment on the value of future loan originations, non-parallel shifts in the spread relationships between MBS, swaps and U.S. Treasury rates and changes in primary and secondary mortgage market spreads. For mortgage loans, IRLCs and forward delivery commitments on MBS, we rely on a model in determining the impact of interest rate shifts. In addition, for IRLCs, the borrower’s propensity to close their mortgage loans under the commitment is used as a primary assumption.

Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including market volatility and the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled.

We used June 30, 2012 market rates on our instruments 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 of the change in fair value may not be linear.

The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates as of June 30, 2012 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2012.
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of conducting business. Although the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently expect any of the proceedings pending against us, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations (see Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies).
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes or additions to the risk factors previously disclosed under “Risk Factors” included in the Nationstar Mortgage LLC's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2012 other than the risk factors provided below:

The Dodd-Frank Act could increase our regulatory compliance burden and associated costs, limit our future capital raising strategies, and place restrictions on certain originations and servicing operations all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Act into law. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry in the United States. The Dodd-Frank Act includes, among other things: (i) the creation of a Financial Stability Oversight Council to identify emerging systemic risks posed by financial firms, activities and practices, and to improve cooperation among federal agencies; (ii) the creation of a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“CFPB”) authorized to promulgate and enforce consumer protection regulations relating to financial products; (iii) the establishment of strengthened capital and prudential standards for banks and bank holding companies; (iv) enhanced regulation of financial markets, including the derivatives and securitization markets; and (v) amendments to the Truth in Lending Act aimed at improving consumer protections with respect to mortgage originations, including originator compensation, minimum repayment standards and prepayment considerations. On July 21, 2011, the CFPB obtained enforcement authority pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and began official operations. On October 13, 2011, the CFPB issued guidelines governing how it supervises mortgage transactions, which involves sending examiners to banks and other institutions that service mortgages to assess whether consumers' interests are protected. On January 11, 2012, the CFPB issued guidelines governing examination procedures for bank and non-bank mortgage originators. The exact scope and applicability of many of these requirements to us are currently unknown as the regulations to implement the Dodd-Frank Act generally have not yet been finalized. Pursuant to these new guidelines, the CFPB has begun an examination of our business. These provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and recent examination or future actions by the CFPB could increase our regulatory compliance burden and associated costs and place restrictions on certain originations and servicing operations, all of which could in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The enforcement consent orders by, agreements with, and settlements of, certain federal and state agencies against the largest mortgage servicers related to foreclosure practices and other inquiries regarding other non-bank mortgage servicers could impose additional compliance costs on our servicing business, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
On April 13, 2011, the federal agencies overseeing certain aspects of the mortgage market, the OCC, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, entered into enforcement consent orders with 14 of the largest mortgage servicers in the United States regarding foreclosure practices. The enforcement consent orders require the servicers, among other things to: (i) promptly correct deficiencies in residential mortgage loan servicing and foreclosure practices; (ii) make significant modifications in practices for residential mortgage loan servicing and foreclosure processing, including communications with borrowers and limitations on dual-tracking, which occurs when servicers continue to pursue foreclosure during the loan modification process; (iii) ensure that foreclosures are not pursued once a mortgage has been approved for modification and establish a single point of contact for borrowers throughout the loan modification and foreclosure processes; and (iv) establish robust oversight and controls pertaining to their third party vendors, including outside legal counsel, that provide default management or foreclosure services. While these enforcement consent orders are considered not to be preemptive of the state actions, it is currently unclear how state actions and proceedings will be affected by the federal consents.
On February 9, 2012, federal and state agencies announced a $25 billion settlement with five large banks that resulted from investigations of foreclosure practices. As part of the settlement, the banks have agreed to comply with various servicing standards relating to foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings, documentation of borrowers' account balances, chain of title, and

77


evaluation of borrowers for loan modifications and short sales as well as servicing fees and the use of force-placed insurance. The settlement also provides for certain financial relief to homeowners.
Although we are not a party to the above enforcement consent orders and settlements, we could become subject to the terms of the consent orders and settlements if (i) we subservice loans for the mortgage servicers that are parties to the enforcement consent orders and settlements; (ii) the agencies begin to enforce the consent orders and settlements by looking downstream to our arrangement with certain mortgage servicers; (iii) the mortgage servicers for which we subservice loans request that we comply with certain aspects of the consent orders and settlements, or (iv) we otherwise find it prudent to comply with certain aspects of the consent orders and settlements. We have been made aware that certain other non-bank mortgage servicers will be meeting with the CFPB with respect to the applicability of the consent orders to their business. If such non-bank mortgage servicers are required to become a party to the consent orders, we can provide no assurances that we will not also be requested to become a party to the consent orders. In addition, the practices set forth in such consent orders and settlements may be adopted by the industry as a whole, forcing us to comply with them in order to follow standard industry practices, or may become required by our servicing agreements. In addition, some states have begun adopting laws which impose requirements similar to those contained in the consent orders on mortgage servicers, which will increase our costs and operational complexity and may subject us to significant penalties. While we have made and continue to make changes to our operating policies and procedures in light of the consent orders and settlements, further changes could be required and changes to our servicing practices will increase compliance costs for our servicing business, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
On September 1, 2011 and November 10, 2011, the New York State Department of Financial Services entered into agreements regarding mortgage servicing practices with seven financial institutions. The additional requirements provided for in these agreements will increase operational complexity and the cost of servicing loans in New York. Other servicers, including us, could be required to enter into similar agreements. In addition, other states may also require mortgage servicers to enter into similar agreements. These additional costs could also materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Legal proceedings, state or federal governmental examinations or enforcement actions and related costs could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position and results of operations.
We are routinely and currently involved in legal proceedings and regulatory examinations and investigations concerning matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These legal proceedings range from actions involving a single plaintiff to class action lawsuits with potentially tens of thousands of class members. An adverse result in governmental investigations or examinations or private lawsuits, including purported class action lawsuits, may adversely affect our financial results. In addition, a number of participants in our industry, including us, have been the subject of purported class action lawsuits and regulatory actions by state regulators, and other industry participants have been the subject of actions by state Attorneys General. Additionally, along with others in our industry, we are subject to repurchase claims and may continue to receive claims in the future. Although we believe we have meritorious legal and factual defenses to the lawsuits in which we are currently involved, the ultimate outcomes with respect to these matters remain uncertain. Litigation and other proceedings may require that we pay settlement costs, legal fees, damages, penalties or other charges, any or all of which could adversely affect our financial results. In particular, ongoing and other legal proceedings brought under state consumer protection statutes may result in a separate fine for each violation of the statute, which, particularly in the case of class action lawsuits, could result in damages substantially in excess of the amounts we earned from the underlying activities and that could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position and results of operations.
Governmental investigations, both state and federal, can be either formal or informal. The costs of responding to the investigations, as well as governmental examinations, can be substantial. In addition, government-mandated changes to servicing practices could lead to higher costs and additional administrative burdens, in particular regarding record retention and informational obligations.
We may experience serious financial difficulties as some mortgage servicers and originators have experienced, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Since late 2006, a number of mortgage servicers and originators of residential mortgage loans have experienced serious financial difficulties and, in some cases, have gone out of business. These difficulties have resulted, in part, from declining markets for their mortgage loans as well as from claims for repurchases of mortgage loans previously sold under provisions requiring repurchase in the event of early payment defaults or breaches of representations and warranties regarding loan quality and certain other loan characteristics. Higher delinquencies and defaults may contribute to these difficulties by reducing the value of mortgage loan portfolios and requiring originators to sell their portfolios at greater discounts to par. In

78


addition, the cost of servicing an increasingly delinquent mortgage loan portfolio may rise without a corresponding increase in servicing compensation. Private-label mortgage loans are at greater risk of such delinquency than GSE and government agency-insured mortgage loans. Therefore, as we increase the percentage of private-label mortgages in our servicing portfolio as measured by UPB (which we have done pursuant to the Aurora Purchase Agreement), our servicing portfolio may become increasingly delinquent. The value of many residual interests retained by sellers of mortgage loans in the securitization market has also been declining. Overall originations volumes are down significantly in the current economic environment. According to Inside Mortgage Finance, total U.S. residential mortgage originations volume decreased from $3.0 trillion in 2006 to $1.5 trillion for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We service reverse mortgages, which subjects us to additional risks and could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
As of June 30, 2012, our reverse mortgage servicing portfolio had grown to approximately $27.2 billion in UPB. We expect to continue to grow our reverse mortgage servicing portfolio. The reverse mortgage business is subject to substantial risks, including market, credit, interest rate, liquidity, operational and legal risks. A reverse mortgage is a loan available to seniors aged 62 or older that allows homeowners to borrow money against the value of their home. No repayment of the mortgage is required until the borrower dies or the home is sold. A deterioration of the market for reverse mortgages may reduce the number of reverse mortgages we service, reduce the profitability of reverse mortgages currently serviced by us and adversely affect our ability to sell reverse mortgages in the market. Although foreclosures involving reverse mortgages generally occur less frequently than forward mortgages, loan defaults on reverse mortgages leading to foreclosures may occur if borrowers fail to meet maintenance obligations, such as payment of taxes or home insurance premiums. An increase in foreclosure rates may increase our cost of servicing. As a reverse mortgage servicer, we will also be responsible for funding any payments due to borrowers in a timely manner, remitting to investors interest accrued, and paying for interest shortfalls. Advances on reverse mortgages are typically greater than advances on forward residential mortgages. They are typically recovered upon weekly or monthly reimbursement or from sale in the market. In the event we receive requests for advances in excess of amounts we are able to fund, we may not be able to fund these advance requests, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity. Additionally, we currently outsource the servicing of our reverse mortgages to several servicing counterparties. Finally, we are subject to negative headline risk in the event that loan defaults on reverse mortgages lead to foreclosures or even evictions of elderly homeowners. All of the above factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and will increase as we grow our reverse mortgage servicing portfolio.
We principally service higher risk loans, which exposes us to a number of different risks.
A significant percentage of the mortgage loans we service are higher risk loans, meaning that the loans are to less creditworthy borrowers or for properties the value of which has decreased. These loans are more expensive to service because they require more frequent interaction with customers and greater monitoring and oversight. As a result, these loans tend to have higher delinquency and default rates, which can have a significant impact on our revenues, expenses and the valuation of our MSRs. Private-label mortgage loans are at greater risk of such delinquency than GSE and government agency-insured mortgage loans. Therefore, as we increase the percentage of private-label mortgages in our servicing portfolio as measured by UPB (which we have done pursuant to the Aurora Purchase Agreement), our servicing portfolio may become increasingly delinquent. It may also be more difficult for us to recover advances we are required to make with respect to higher risk loans. In connection with the ongoing mortgage market reform and regulatory developments, servicers of higher risk loans may be subject to increased scrutiny by state and federal regulators or may experience higher compliance costs, which could result in higher servicing costs. We may not be able to pass along any incremental costs we incur to our servicing clients. All of the foregoing factors could therefore adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition pursuant to the ResCap Purchase Agreement.
We have entered into the ResCap Purchase Agreement to purchase the Mortgage Servicing Assets from ResCap. We are required to obtain the approval of the Bankruptcy Court in order to close on this agreement. Although we have been approved as the stalking-horse bidder by the Bankruptcy Court, other bidders may submit bids for the assets we are seeking to acquire. The auction for the Mortgage Servicing Assets is scheduled to commence on October 23, 2012. If any such bidders submit bids, we can provide no assurances that we will be the winning bidder and ultimately be permitted to purchase the assets we are seeking to acquire or that we will not be required to make changes, which changes could be material, to the terms of the ResCap Purchase Agreement in order to purchase the assets. If the Bankruptcy Court approves a competing bidder in the auction process, this agreement will be terminated and we will not close the transaction. The ResCap Purchase Agreement is also subject to a number of other closing conditions, the failure of any of which may prevent us from closing the transaction.

79


Moreover, we are unable to control the timing of the Bankruptcy Court's approval process. We may experience significant delays in closing the ResCap Purchase Agreement as a result of this approval process or because of complications arising from any other closing condition. Failure to close on the ResCap Purchase Agreement or delays in closing on this agreement could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If this transaction does close, it will substantially increase the UPB of mortgage loans that we service to multiples of our current size. We may be unable to scale up to appropriately service these assets. Similarly, our potential acquisition pursuant to the ResCap Purchase Agreement would also alter the composition of the portfolio of mortgage loans that we service. We may be unable to adapt our current operations to appropriately service this altered portfolio. Furthermore, approximately 34% of the loans in the ResCap portfolio are loans that are not owned, insured or guaranteed by the GSEs. Therefore, as we increase the percentage of non-GSE loans in our servicing portfolio, our servicing portfolio may become increasingly delinquent. Failure to effectively service all or a portion of our portfolio following an acquisition pursuant to the ResCap Purchase Agreement could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to MSRs and subservicing rights, if the transaction closes, we will also acquire an origination platform and certain other components of ResCap's systems and infrastructure. We may elect to operate this platform in addition to our current platform for a period of time or indefinitely. Whether by operating this platform separately or otherwise, the success of our potential acquisition depends on our ability to effectively integrate these acquired elements into our existing operations, which we may be unable to accomplish. Failure to effectively employ the platform and other components of systems and infrastructure acquired pursuant to the ResCap Purchase Agreement could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Federal, state and local laws and regulations could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Federal, state and local governments have recently proposed or enacted numerous laws, regulations and rules related to mortgage loans generally and foreclosure actions in particular. These laws, regulations and rules may result in delays in the foreclosure process, reduced payments by borrowers, modification of the original terms of mortgage loans, permanent forgiveness of debt and increased servicing advances. In some cases, local governments have ordered moratoriums on foreclosure activity, which prevent a servicer or trustee, as applicable, from exercising any remedies they might have in respect of liquidating a severely delinquent mortgage loan. Several courts also have taken unprecedented steps to slow the foreclosure process or prevent foreclosure altogether.
In addition, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the “FHFA”) recently proposed changes to mortgage servicing compensation structures, including cutting servicing fees and channeling funds toward reserve accounts for delinquent loans. Due to the highly regulated nature of the residential mortgage industry, we are required to comply with a wide array of federal, state and local laws and regulations that regulate, among other things, the manner in which we conduct our servicing and originations business and the fees we may charge. These regulations directly impact our business and require constant compliance, monitoring and internal and external audits. A material failure to comply with any of these laws or regulations could subject us to lawsuits or governmental actions, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, there continue to be changes in legislation and licensing in an effort to simplify the consumer mortgage experience, which require technology changes and additional implementation costs for loan originators. We expect legislative changes will continue in the foreseeable future, which may increase our operating expenses.
Furthermore, there continue to be changes in state law that are adverse to mortgage servicers that increase costs and operational complexity of our business and impose significant penalties for violation.
Any of these changes in the law could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Unlike competitors that are banks, we are subject to state licensing and operational requirements that result in substantial compliance costs, which are in addition to the requirements imposed by the federal government.
Because we are not a depository institution, we do not benefit from a federal exemption to state mortgage banking, loan servicing or debt collection licensing and regulatory requirements. We must comply with state licensing requirements and varying compliance requirements in all fifty states and the District of Columbia, and we are sensitive to regulatory changes that may increase our costs, impose complex mortgage servicing requirements that impact our efficiency, as well as increase burdens due to stricter licensing laws, disclosure laws or increased fees or that may impose conditions to licensing that we or

80


our personnel are unable to meet. In addition, we are subject to periodic examinations by state and federal regulators, which can result in refunds to borrowers of certain fees earned by us, and we may be required to pay substantial penalties imposed by state or federal regulators due to compliance errors. Future state and federal legislation and changes in existing regulation may significantly increase our compliance costs or reduce the amount of ancillary fees, including late fees, that we may charge to borrowers. This could make our business cost-prohibitive in the affected state or states and could materially affect our business.
We may be required to indemnify or repurchase loans we originated, or will originate, if our loans fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances.
The indentures governing our securitized pools of loans and our contracts with purchasers of our whole loans contain provisions that require us to indemnify or repurchase the related loans under certain circumstances. While our contracts vary, they contain provisions that require us to repurchase loans if:
our representations and warranties concerning loan quality and loan circumstances are inaccurate, including representations concerning the licensing of a mortgage broker;
we fail to secure adequate mortgage insurance within a certain period after closing;
a mortgage insurance provider denies coverage; or
we fail to comply, at the individual loan level or otherwise, with regulatory requirements in the current dynamic regulatory environment.
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 would benefit from enforcing any repurchase remedies they may have. Along with others in our industry, we are subject to repurchase claims and may continue to receive claims in the future. See “-Legal proceedings, state or federal government examinations or enforcement actions and related costs could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position and results of operations.” We believe that our exposure to repurchases under our representations and warranties includes the current unpaid balance of all loans we have sold. In the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012, we sold an aggregate of $10.0 billion of loans. To recognize the potential loan repurchase or indemnification losses, we have recorded a reserve of $12.4 million as of June 30, 2012. Because of the increase in our loan originations since 2008, we expect that repurchase requests are likely to increase. Should home values continue to decrease, our realized loan losses from loan repurchases and indemnifications may increase as well. As such, our reserve for repurchases may increase beyond our current expectations. If we are required to indemnify or repurchase loans that we originate and sell or securitize that result in losses that exceed our reserve, this could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The effective date of our registration statement filed on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (File No. 333-174246) relating to our initial public offering of common stock was March 7, 2012. A total of 19,166,667 shares of common stock were registered and sold, including shares of common stock sold pursuant to the underwriters' overallotment option.
The sale of 19,166,667 shares of common stock was completed on March 13, 2012, including shares of common stock sold pursuant to the underwriters' overallotment option. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as representatives of the several underwriters. The aggregate offering price for the shares of common stock was $268.3 million, including exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option. The aggregate underwriting discounts were $17.4 million and we incurred approximately $3.8 million of expenses in connection with the initial public offering. The proceeds to us, net of total expenses, were approximately $247.1 million, including exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option. As of June 30, 2012, we had used the net proceeds of the initial public offering, together with cash on hand for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including servicing acquisitions.
None of the underwriting discounts or other expenses incurred in connection with the initial public offering, including the exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option, were paid, directly or indirectly, to directors, officers, general partners of us or their associates, to persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of us or our affiliates.

81


None of the use of proceeds in connection with the initial public offering was a direct or indirect payment to directors, officers, general partners of us or their associates, to persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of us or to our affiliates.

The Indenture Trustee shall not assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Receivables or any other

24



asset constituting the Trust Estate (except as expressly provided herein) or knowingly permit the Receivables or any other asset constituting the Trust Estate to be subjected to any lien (other than Permitted Liens), claim or encumbrance arising by, through or under the Indenture Trustee or any Person claiming by, through or under the Indenture Trustee.

(e).This Indenture shall evidence a continuing lien on and security interest in the Trust Estate to secure the full payment of the principal, interest and other amounts on all the Notes, which (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) shall in all respects be equally and ratably secured hereby without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication and delivery of such Notes.

Section 2.05 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
(f).At all times during the term of this Indenture, there shall be maintained at the office of a registrar appointed by the Issuer (the “Note Registrar”) a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Note Registrar may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in accordance with the terms hereof) as Note Registrar for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Issuer, any other bank or trust company to act as Note Registrar under such conditions as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder as Note Registrar by reason of such appointment. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor indenture trustee shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Note Registrar.

If a transfer of any Note is made without the receipt by the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee of the prior written consent of the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it and the Indenture Trustee receive (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) such items. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Notes under the 1933 Act or any other securities law.

(h).By acquiring a Note, each purchaser of a Note shall represent, warrant and covenant that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note with the assets of an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”) or any other plan subject to a federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a nonexempt violation under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other substantially similar law. Furthermore, by acquiring a Note, the Note Purchaser will be deemed to give the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer a binding instruction to enter into the Hedge Agreements and the transactions thereunder, and each transferee will, by the acquisition of such Note, be deemed to have given the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer a binding instruction to enter into transactions pursuant to the Hedge Agreements.

25




(i).If a Person is acquiring any Note or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to certify that it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.05.

(k).At the option of any Noteholder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of authorized denominations of a like aggregate Note Principal Balance, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(l).Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(m).No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Notes but the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

(n).All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures.

(o).The Note Registrar shall provide to each of the Issuer and any Noteholder, upon reasonable written request and at the expense of the requesting party, an updated copy of the Note Register.

(p).Subject to Section 9.07(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall not permit a transfer of any Note unless such transfer, is consented to in writing by the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, this Section 2.05(k) does not apply to the transfer of a participation interest of a Note or the transfer of all or a portion of a Note that does not include the Commitment of the related Note Purchaser under the Note Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor, a new Note of the same principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.06, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Noteholder of an amount sufficient to pay or discharge any tax or other

26



governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Authenticating Agent, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee) in connection therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 in lieu of any destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by any Person, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 2.07 Noteholder Lists.
The Note Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders, which list, upon request, will be made available to the Indenture Trustee insofar as the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Note Registrar. Upon written request of any Noteholder at the Noteholder's expense made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Note Registrar shall promptly furnish such Noteholder with a list of the other Noteholders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request.

principal or other amounts, or any such payment set aside on the Final Payment Date for such Note as provided in Section 2.10(b), shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.
d.With respect to each Payment Date, any interest, principal and other amounts payable on the Notes shall be paid to the Person that is the registered holder thereof at the close of business on the related Record Date; provided, however, that interest, principal and other amounts payable at the Final Payment Date of any Note shall be payable only against surrender thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee. Payments of interest, principal and other amounts on the Notes shall be made on the applicable Payment Date other than the Final Payment Date, subject to applicable laws and regulations, by wire transfer to such account as such Noteholder shall designate by written instruction received by the Indenture Trustee not later than the Record Date related to the applicable Payment Date or otherwise by check mailed on or before the Payment Date to the Person entitled thereto at such Person's address appearing on the Note Register.

Monthly interest and principal with respect to the Notes shall be determined, allocated and paid in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture.
If any Note on which the final payment was due is not presented for payment on its Final Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee shall set aside such payment in a segregated account separate from the Note Payment Account but which constitutes an Eligible Account, and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall act in accordance with Section 5.10 in respect of the unclaimed funds.

The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall give written notice to the Agent, each Swap Provider and the Noteholders of its intent to paydown the Note Principal Balances at least five (5) Business Days prior to the chosen Paydown Date. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall remit the paydown amount to the Note Payment Account and the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw such amounts and allocate such amounts to reduce the Note Principal Balance of the Notes on a pro rata basis after remitting any termination payments due to the Hedge Provider under the applicable Swap Agreement; provided, that, if the Paydown Date is a Payment Date, such paydown amount will be remitted in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(vi)(F) after all prior payments in accordance with Section 2.10(c) have been made and that the Note Principal Balance of the Notes used to calculate such payments pursuant to Section 2.10(c) shall be the Note Principal Balance prior to distribution of the paydown amount. Notwithstanding any optional paydown as provided in this Section 2.16(d), the Commitment of the Holders of the Notes shall not be reduced.

ac.In the event that the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default hereunder institutes proceedings to foreclose on the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly give a notice to that effect to each Noteholder and each Hedge Provider.

Section 4.06 Limitation on Suits.
Except as provided in Section 4.07, no Noteholder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1)    such Noteholder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(2)     the Majority Noteholders shall have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

45



(5)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Majority Noteholders; and
(6)    an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself or themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Noteholders. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Noteholders may exercise their rights under this Section 4.06 independently.
Section 4.07 Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, following the Stated Maturity Date, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payments of interest, principal and other amounts then due on such Note (subject to Section 2.10) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment (subject to Section 4.06), and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder, unless a non-payment has been cured pursuant to Section 4.02.

Section 4.08 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued, waived, rescinded or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 4.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 4.10 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 4.11 Control by Noteholders.
The Majority Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders will not be required to provide, and the Indenture Trustee will not be required to obtain, a Tax Opinion in the case of a direction by the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default, to realize upon the Trust Estate by liquidating the Collateral or otherwise.
Section 4.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Prior to acceleration or the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes, the Required Noteholders may, on behalf of the

46



Noteholders of all the Notes, waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default:
(1)    in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, which waiver shall require the waiver by Noteholders holding 100% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes affected;
(2)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected, which waiver shall require the waiver by each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected;
(3)    depriving the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of a lien or the benefit of a lien, as the case may be, upon any part of the Trust Estate, which waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be; or
(4)    depriving the Indenture Trustee of any fee, reimbursement for any expense incurred, or any indemnification to which the Indenture Trustee is entitled, which waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that no such waiver shall restore any Hedge Agreement which has terminated pursuant to its terms. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such acceleration and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.10(c).
Section 4.13 Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses based on time expended, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Issuer, or to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate at least 25% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of Outstanding Notes or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the Stated Maturity Date of such Note.
Section 4.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee and any Hedge Provider, but will suffer and permit the exercise of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.15 Sale of Trust Estate.
aj.The power to effect any public or private sale of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until either the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any such sale but such waiver does not apply to any amounts to which the Indenture Trustee is otherwise entitled under Section 5.04 of this Indenture.

47




ak.The Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless:

i.the Agent, with the consent and on behalf of 100% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes and each Swap Provider consents to, or directs the Indenture Trustee to make, such sale; or
ii.the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the entire amount which would be payable to the Holders of the Notes, in full payment thereof, and all amounts payable including termination payments, to all Hedge Providers in accordance with Section 4.05, on any date following the date of such sale, together with all other amounts due under this Indenture.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15 shall not preclude or limit the ability of the Indenture Trustee to purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate at any sale, public or private, and the purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at any sale shall not be deemed a sale or disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 4.15(b).

al.Unless the Holders of all Outstanding Notes have otherwise consented or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount described in paragraph (ii) of subsection (b) of this Section 4.15 has not been established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee shall in accordance with paragraph (ii) of subsection (d) of this Section 4.15 bid an amount at least $1.00 more than the highest other bid in order to preserve the Trust Estate.

am.In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate:

i.any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon in accordance with Section 2.10(c), shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;

ii.the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for sale in connection with any sale thereof, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross sale price against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the Holders of the Notes as a result of such sale in accordance with Section 4.05 on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such sale and (B) the expenses of the sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such sale or in order for the net sale price to be credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

iii.the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver, without recourse, an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof;

iv.the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey the Issuer's interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale; and

v.no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.

Section 4.16 Action on Notes.
The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be

48



affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate.

ARTICLE V THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 5.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
The Issuer hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Indenture Trustee and any Responsible Officer thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in place and stead of the Issuer and in the name of the Issuer or in its own name or in the name of a nominee, from time to time in the Indenture Trustee's discretion, for the purpose of enforcing the rights, powers and remedies of the Issuer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Indenture and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, all as set forth in this Indenture.
a.The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of this Indenture shall be as follows:
i.The Indenture Trustee shall have the full power and authority to do all things not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture that it may deem advisable in order to enforce the provisions hereof or to take any action with respect to a default or an Event of Default hereunder, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect hereto, or to protect the interests of the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable except for its own bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence. The Issuer shall prepare and file or cause to be filed, at the Issuer's expense, a UCC Financing Statement, describing the Issuer as debtor, the Indenture Trustee as secured party and the Trust Estate as the collateral, in all appropriate locations promptly following the initial issuance of the Notes, and the Issuer shall prepare and file at each such office, continuation statements with respect thereto, in each case within six months prior to each fifth anniversary of the original filing. The Issuer is hereby authorized and obligated to make, at the expense of the Issuer, all required filings and refilings of which the Issuer becomes aware, necessary to preserve the liens created by this Indenture to the extent not done by the Issuer as provided herein. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action to exercise or enforce the trusts hereby created which, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Indenture Trustee, unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an agreement satisfactory to it in its sole reasonable discretion to indemnify it against such liability and expense. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, or in the Receivables Purchase Agreement or in any other instruments to be performed or observed by the Issuer or any party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

ii.Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders, or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provisions of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face in the form required by this Indenture to the extent expressly set forth herein. If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Indenture in a material manner, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Indenture Trustee's reasonable satisfaction, the Indenture Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, consent, certificate, opinion, or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine. In administering the trusts hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder directly or through its attorneys or custodians and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any negligence on the part of any custodian or attorney appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care. The Indenture Trustee may, subject to Section 5.04, consult with counsel, accountants and other professionals to be selected and employed by it, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such Person nor for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be

49



proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

iii.The Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of any recording, filing or registration of any instrument or other document (including any UCC Financing Statements), or any amendments or supplements to any of said instruments or to determine if any such instrument or other document is in a form suitable for recording, filing or registration, and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of the payment of any fees, charges or taxes in connection therewith.

iv.Whenever in performing its duties hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, rely upon (unless other evidence in respect thereof be specifically prescribed herein) an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer, and such Officer's Certificate shall be full warrant to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it on the faith thereof.

v.The Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligations to see to the payment or discharge of any liens (other than the liens hereof) upon the Receivables, or to see to the application of any payment of the principal of or interest on any note secured thereby or to the delivery or transfer to any Person of any property released from any such lien, or to give notice to or make demand upon any mortgagor, mortgagee, trustor, beneficiary or other Person for the delivery or transfer of any such property. The Indenture Trustee (and any successor trustee or co-trustee in its individual capacity) nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens or encumbrances on the Receivables arising as a result of the Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be) acting improperly in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be).

vi.The Indenture Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to any Person for the use or application of any deposited moneys or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released from the lien hereof or thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof or thereof and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability for the acts of other parties that are not in accordance with the provisions hereof.

b.The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Receivables and this Indenture, in addition to those set forth in Section 5.01(a), shall be as follows:

i.except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and

ii.the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture, to the extent expressly set forth herein.

c.Subject to Section 4.12 hereof, in case an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.


50



d.No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

i.this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section; (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

ii.the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Majority Noteholders, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; and

iii.the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice or deemed to have notice of, or charged with knowledge of a default, an Event of Default or an Early Amortization Event unless either (i) a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such default, Event of Default or Early Amortization Event or (ii) written notice of such default shall have been given by the Issuer or by any Noteholder to and received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee and in the absence of such notice or actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no default, Event of Default or Early Amortization Event.

Section 5.02 Notice of Defaults.

a.The Indenture Trustee, promptly but not later than two (2) Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any event which, after notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, shall notify the Issuer, the Noteholders, any Hedge Provider and the Agent of any such event, unless all such events known to the Indenture Trustee shall have been cured before the giving of such notice or unless the same is rescinded and annulled, or waived by the Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.02 or Section 4.12. For the purpose of this Section 5.02, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
b.The Indenture Trustee also agrees, promptly but no later than two (2) Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of any default or event of default under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, to notify the Issuer, the Noteholders and the Agent of such default or event of default.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to fully perform its duties under this Indenture notwithstanding any failure on the part of the Issuer to make any payments, reimbursements or indemnifications to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.04(a); provided, however, that (subject to Section 5.04(b)) nothing in this Section 5.04 shall be construed to limit the exercise by the Indenture Trustee of any right or remedy permitted under this Indenture in the event of the Issuer's failure to pay any sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.04.

Upon request of any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers and

55



trusts referred to in this Section 5.09.
No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article V.
Section 5.10 Unclaimed Funds.
The Indenture Trustee is required to hold any payments received by it with respect to the Notes that are not paid to the Noteholders in trust for the Noteholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the expiration of two (2) years following the Final Payment Date for the Notes, any moneys set aside in accordance with Section 2.10(b) for payment of principal, interest and other amounts on such Notes remain unclaimed by any lawful owner thereof, such unclaimed funds and, to the extent required by applicable law, any accrued interest thereon shall be remitted to the Issuer to be held in trust by the Issuer for the benefit of the applicable Noteholder until distributed in accordance with applicable law, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee with respect to such money shall thereupon cease; provided, that the Indenture Trustee, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the applicable Noteholder, payable out of such unclaimed funds, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and otherwise at the expense of the Issuer, cause to be published at least once but not more than three times in two newspapers in the English language customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation, in New York, New York, a notice to the effect that such moneys remain unclaimed and have not been applied for the purpose for which they were deposited, and that after a date specified therein, which shall be not less than 30 days after the date of first publication of said notice, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining in the hands of the Indenture Trustee will be paid to the Issuer upon its written directions to be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Noteholder until distributed in accordance with applicable law. Any successor to the Issuer through merger, consolidation or otherwise or any recipient of substantially all the assets of the Issuer in a liquidation of the Issuer shall remain liable for the amount of any unclaimed balance paid to the Issuer pursuant to this Section 5.10.
Section 5.11 Illegal Acts.
No provision of this Indenture or any amendment or supplement hereto shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Indenture Trustee to do any act in the performance of its duties hereunder or to exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, which under any present or future law shall be unlawful, or which shall be beyond the corporate powers, authorization or qualification of the Indenture Trustee.
Section 5.12 Communications by the Indenture Trustee.
The Indenture Trustee shall send to the Issuer, within one (1) Business Day after the Maturity Date thereof, if any principal of or interest on such Notes due and payable hereunder is not paid, a written demand for payment thereof.
Section 5.13 Separate Indenture Trustees and Co-Trustees.
a.Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting legal requirements applicable to it in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to, and shall execute and deliver all instruments to, appoint one or more Persons to act as separate trustees or co-trustees hereunder, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of any of the Trust Estate subject to this Indenture, and any such Persons shall be such separate trustee or co-trustee, with such powers and duties consistent with this Indenture as shall be specified in the instrument appointing such Person but without thereby releasing the Indenture Trustee from any of its duties hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee has no duty under this Indenture to perform any obligations of the Hedge Enforcement Party. If the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Agent and the Issuer to the retention of any such separate trustee or co-trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any fees or expenses of any such separate trustee or co-trustee. If the Indenture Trustee shall request the Issuer to do so, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution of such instrument, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without making such request. A separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 5.13 need not meet the eligibility requirements of Section 5.05.

b.Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, be subject to the following terms and conditions:

i.the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon such separate or co-

56



trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate or co-trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the appointing instrument, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed any nonresident trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee;

ii.all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, in respect of the custody of all cash deposited hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; and

iii.the Indenture Trustee may at any time by written instrument accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to make effective such resignation or removal, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to accept such resignation or to make such removal without making such request. A successor to a separate trustee or co-trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner otherwise provided herein.

c.Such separate trustee or co-trustee, upon acceptance of such trust, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in such instrument, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as may be necessary to provide for (i) the appropriate interest in the Trust Estate to be vested in such separate trustee or co-trustee, (ii) the execution and delivery of any transfer documentation or note powers that may be necessary to give effect to the transfer of the Receivables to the co-trustee. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, by written instrument, constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney in fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion authorized or permitted by it, for and on behalf of it and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be dissolved, become incapable of acting, resign, be removed or die, all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee, until the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary as provided in this Indenture.

d.Any notice, request or other writing, by or on behalf of any Noteholder, delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to all separate trustees and co-trustees.

e.Although co-trustees may be jointly liable, no co-trustee or separate trustee shall be severally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any other such trustee hereunder.

In the event of any such conveyance or transfer of the Trust Estate permitted by this Section 9.09, the Person named as the “Issuer” in the first paragraph of this Indenture, or any successor that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article and that has thereafter effected such a conveyance or transfer, may be dissolved, wound-up and liquidated at any time thereafter, and such Person thereafter shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker on all of the then Outstanding Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture.

c.Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer shall not voluntarily consent to or otherwise acquiesce to any consolidation of the Issuer into the Seller, the Depositor or any of their Affiliates and shall take all legally permissible actions to oppose any such consolidation. Further, each Noteholder acknowledges that it is relying on the separateness of the Issuer from the Seller, the Depositor and its Affiliates as a condition to purchasing the Notes.

Section 9.10 Purchase of Notes.

The Issuer may reacquire Notes, in its discretion, by open market purchases in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Section 9.11 Indemnification.

a.Without limiting any other rights that an Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Issuer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party (as defined below) from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (as defined below), excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking to indemnify the Indemnified Parties may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Issuer nevertheless shall pay such amounts as may be permitted under applicable law to satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.

Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Issuer shall pay in accordance with Section 2.10(c) to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
i.
a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Issuer under or in connection with

69



this Indenture or any other Transaction Document (without duplication of any amount paid by the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement); or

ii.
the failure by the Issuer to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document; or

iii.
any information prepared by and furnished or to be furnished by any of the Issuer or the Seller or any of their Affiliates pursuant to or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, such written information as may have been and may be furnished in connection with any due diligence investigation with respect to the business, operations, financial condition of the Issuer, the Seller, any of their Affiliates or with respect to the Receivables, to the extent such information contains any untrue statement of material fact
.
b.Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.11 shall be paid to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following demand therefor; provided that, prior to an Event of Default, amounts payable under this Section 9.11 shall only be payable on Payment Dates pursuant to Section 2.10(c). “Indemnified Party” means any of the Indenture Trustee (in all its capacities), the Calculation Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Posted Collateral Custodian, the Owner Trustee, the Agent, any Hedge Provider, the Noteholders and their officers, employees, directors, attorneys, consultants, agents and successors or assigns. “Indemnified Amounts” means any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and related reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party, to the extent such Indemnified Amounts are caused by the occurrence of an event described in Section 9.11(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, with respect to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

c.Promptly after an Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or other first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be claimed against the Issuer under this Section 9.11, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Issuer in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, but failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that the Issuer is prejudiced by such failure so to notify the Issuer. The Issuer will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, unless the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Issuer, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Issuer and such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Secured Parties and one firm of attorneys for the Indenture Trustee. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Issuer in the defense of any such action or claim. The Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Noteholders, and such instructions of the Majority Noteholders shall be binding upon all Noteholders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, exposes the Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document or applicable law.
Section 10.02 Nature of Duties.

The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture or in the other Transaction Documents. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agent shall not have by reason of this Indenture or any Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Noteholder. Nothing in this Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Noteholder shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Issuer in connection with advancing any Additional Note Balance pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Issuer and the value of the Collateral, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Noteholder with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the advance of the Initial Note Balance hereunder or at any time or times thereafter; provided, that, upon the reasonable request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide to such Noteholder any documents or reports delivered to the Agent by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document. Prior to waiving an Early Amortization Event, the Agent shall obtain the approval of the Required Noteholders. If the Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Noteholders to the taking or refraining from taking any action under this Indenture, the Agent shall send notice thereof to each Noteholder. The Agent shall promptly notify each Noteholder any time that the Required Noteholders have instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
Section 10.03 Rights, Exculpation, Etc.

The Agent and its directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents unless such action or inaction shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent or its directors, officers, agents or employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Agent or counsel to the Issuer), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Noteholder and shall not be responsible to any Noteholder for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other

71



property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Noteholder for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Indenture Trustee's Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Issuer in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Noteholders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 2.10, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Noteholder to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Noteholders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Noteholders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Indenture or of any of the other Transaction Document the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the other Transaction Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Majority Noteholders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Noteholder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Indenture, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Noteholders.
Section 10.04 Reliance.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
Section 10.05 Indemnification.

To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Issuer, the Noteholders will reimburse and indemnify the Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, in proportion to each Noteholder's Percentage Interest, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no Noteholder shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such resulted from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Noteholders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of this Indenture.
Section 10.06 Agent Individually.

With respect to its Percentage Interest under the Note Purchase Agreement, the advances made by it and the Notes issued to or held by it or any of its Affiliates, the Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Noteholder or holder of a Note. The terms “Noteholders,” “Majority Noteholders,” or “Required Noteholders,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Noteholder or one of the Majority Noteholders. The term “Agent” shall mean the Agent solely in its individual capacity as the Agent hereunder. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Issuer as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the Noteholders.
Section 10.07 Successor Agent.

a.The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the

72



other Transaction Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to the Issuer and each Noteholder. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

b.Upon any such notice of resignation, the Majority Noteholders shall appoint a successor Agent who, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents. After the Agent's resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

c.If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who, if an Event of Default is not continuing, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Majority Noteholders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

Section 10.08 Collateral Matters.

a.The Agent may from time to time, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which the Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Issuer of the Notes and other Issuer Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.05. The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Collateral and repayable pursuant to Section 2.10(c) on the Payment Date immediately succeeding the date on which such Agent Advances were made. The Agent Advances shall not constitute advances on the Notes but shall otherwise constitute Issuer Obligations hereunder. The Agent shall notify each Noteholder and the Issuer in writing of each Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Noteholder agrees that it shall make available to the Agent, upon the Agent's demand, in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Noteholder's Percentage Interest of such Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Agent by such Noteholder, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Noteholder, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Reference Rate.

b.The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Noteholders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Issuer or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section 10.08 or in any of the other Transaction Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the Noteholders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder.

Section 11.01 Execution Counterparts.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.02 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.


73



Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with.
Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:
i.a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

Section 11.03 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that any Person shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of such Person's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of such Person to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article V.
Section 11.04 Acts of Noteholders.

a.Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by

74



this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 5.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. With respect to authorization to be given or taken by Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized to follow the written directions or the vote of the Majority Noteholders, unless any greater or lesser percentage is required by the terms hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

b.The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

c.The Note Principal Balance and serial numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.

d.Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, declaration, waiver or other act of any Noteholder shall bind every future Noteholder of the same Note and the Noteholder of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

Section 11.05 Computation of Percentage of Noteholders.

Whenever this Indenture states that any action may be taken by a specified percentage of the Noteholders, such statement shall mean that such action may be taken by the Noteholders of such specified percentage of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes.
Section 11.06 Notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and Certain Other Persons.

Any communication provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by courier or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if transmitted by telecopier and confirmed in a writing delivered or mailed as aforesaid, to: (i) in the case of the Issuer, Nationstar Agency Advance Funding Trust 2012-AW, c/o Wilmington Trust, National Association, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890 Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, telecopy number: (302) 636-4140, telephone number: (302) 651-1000 and (ii) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, the Corporate Trust Office, or as to each such Person, such other address or facsimile number as may hereafter be furnished by such Person to the parties hereto in writing.
Section 11.07 Notices to Noteholders; Notification Requirements and Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, a copy of any such notice shall be given simultaneously to each Hedge Provider, and in the case of any notice sent to Noteholders, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered by courier or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid; to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is delivered or mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.

75



Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular courier and mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Section 11.08 Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 11.09 Separability Clause.

In case any provision of this Indenture or of the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall, to the extent permitted by law, not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.13 shall not limit the right of any person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any action or suit or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such person or entity.

The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

(D)    it is not (x) a partnership, common trust fund, special trust, pension fund or retirement plan or other entity in which the partners, beneficiaries, security owners or participants, as the case may be, may designate the particular investments to be made or the allocation thereof, unless each such partner, beneficiary, security owner or participant empowered alone or with other partners or participants to make such decisions meets all requirements set forth herein for qualification as an eligible purchaser, or (y) an entity that has invested more than 40% of its assets in securities of the Issuer, giving effect to the amount invested in connection with its acquisition of the notes or a beneficial interest therein, unless each beneficial owner of the eligible purchaser's securities meets all requirements set forth herein for qualification as an eligible purchaser;
(E)    it either (x) is not an entity organized prior to April 30, 1996 that is excepted from the 1940 Act pursuant to section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) thereof or (y) has received the consent of the beneficial owners of its securities with respect to its treatment as a “qualified purchaser” in the manner required by section 2(a)(51)(C) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder;
(F)    it acknowledges that the Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Issuer has not been or will be registered under the 1940 Act; and

Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.

8.    The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Notes will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase.

The Notes will be issuable only in denominations of not less than $100,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(b)The Notes to be issued under this Indenture may be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication and thereupon the same shall be authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Request, upon compliance with the terms and provisions of this Indenture and the following: (i) satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in Section 4.01 of the Note Purchase Agreement as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate by the Issuer; (ii) satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate by the Issuer; and (iii) with respect to the issuance of the Term Notes, receipt by the Agent of a favorable opinion dated as of the date of issuance of the Term Notes and satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent and the Indenture Trustee, setting forth that the statements made in any applicable term sheet or offering materials related to ERISA considerations, to the extent those statements constitute matters of United States federal or state of New York law or legal conclusions with respect thereto are correct in all material respects with respect to those consequences or matters that are discussed therein. 
(c)This Section 2.01(c) shall apply only to Global Term Notes deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.  The Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall, in accordance with Article II of this Indenture, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Term Notes that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Term Note or Global Term Notes or the nominee of such Depository and (ii) shall be delivered by the Indenture Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's instructions held by the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for the Depository.  Agent Members shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Term Note held on their behalf by the Depository or under the Global Term Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar as the absolute owner of such Global Term Note for all purposes whatsoever (except to the extent otherwise provided herein).

Section 2.02.    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
(a)The Notes shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Issuer by any Authorized Officer of the Issuer.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, or be valid for any purpose, however, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b)Upon the written request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall and, at the election of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more agents (each an “Authenticating Agent”) with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with the transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.05 and 2.06, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to authenticate the Notes.

Any corporation, bank, trust company or association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, bank, trust company or association resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation, bank, trust company or association succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation, bank, trust company or association.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any





Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Indenture Trustee may, or at the direction of the Issuer shall, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer and give notice of such appointment to the Noteholders. Upon the resignation or termination of the Authenticating Agent and prior to the appointment of a successor, the Indenture Trustee shall act as Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to all limitations on liability, rights of reimbursement and indemnities that the Indenture Trustee is entitled to hereunder as if it were the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.03.    Acknowledgment of Receipt of the Receivables.
(a)Upon receipt by it of the Receivable Files with respect to the Initial Receivables and all other assets to be delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture and included in the Trust Estate on the Initial Funding Date, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Noteholders and acknowledge such receipt.

(b)The Indenture Trustee shall not be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Receivables delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form if recordation is required, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
The Indenture Trustee shall not assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Receivables or any other asset constituting the Trust Estate (except as expressly provided herein) or knowingly permit the Receivables or any other asset constituting the Trust Estate to be subjected to any lien (other than Permitted Liens), claim or encumbrance arising by, through or under the Indenture Trustee or any Person claiming by, through or under the Indenture Trustee.

(c)This Indenture shall evidence a continuing lien on and security interest in the Trust Estate to secure the full payment of the principal, interest and other amounts on all the Notes, which (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) shall in all respects be equally and ratably secured hereby without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication and delivery of such Notes.
Section 2.05.    Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
(a)At all times during the term of this Indenture, there shall be maintained at the office of a registrar appointed by the Issuer (the “Note Registrar”) a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Note Registrar may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in accordance with the terms hereof) as Note Registrar for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Issuer, any other bank or trust company to act a





s Note Registrar under such conditions as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder as Note Registrar by reason of such appointment. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor indenture trustee shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Note Registrar. The Issuer and the Noteholders shall have the right to inspect the Note Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Note Registrar as to the information set forth in the Note Register.
(b)No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or beneficial ownership interest therein shall be made unless the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall have received (i) either (x) the prior written consent of the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (y) a certificate from the transferor that such Noteholder is transferring, selling, pledging or otherwise disposing of either (1) a participating interest in all or a portion of any Note or (2) such Note to a Person without a transfer or sale of its Commitment under the Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto. If a transfer of any Note or any beneficial ownership interest therein is made without the receipt by the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee of the prior written consent of the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or certificate of the transferor and a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it and the Indenture Trustee receive (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) such items. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Notes under the 1933 Act or any other securities law.
(c)By acquiring a Note, each purchaser of a Variable Funding Note or a Certificated Term Note shall and, each purchaser of a Global Term Note will be deemed to, represent, warrant and covenant that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note with the assets of an employee benefit plan or plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”) or any other plan subject to a federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a nonexempt violation of any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Furthermore, by acquiring a Note, the Note Purchaser will be deemed to give the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer a binding instruction to enter into the Hedge Agreements and the transactions thereunder, and each transferee will, by the acquisition of such Note, be deemed to have given the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer a binding instruction to enter into transactions pursuant to the Hedge Agreements.
(d)If a Person is acquiring any Note or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to certify that it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.05.
(e)Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.05, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of a like aggregate Note Principal Balance.
(f)At the option of any Noteholder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of authorized denominations of a like aggregate Note Principal Balance, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose.

(g)Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note R





egistrar or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(h)No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Notes or beneficial ownership interest therein, but the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes or beneficial ownership interests therein.
(i)All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor, a new Note of the same principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction (including mutilation tantamount to destruction), loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to hold each of them, and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same tenor and denomination registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.06, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Noteholder of an amount sufficient to pay or discharge any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Authenticating Agent, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee) in connection therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 in lieu of any destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by any Person, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 2.07.    Noteholder Lists.
The Note Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent





list available to it of the names and addresses of Variable Funding Noteholders and Term Noteholders, which list, upon request, will be made available to the Indenture Trustee insofar as the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Note Registrar. Upon written request of any Noteholder at the Noteholder's expense made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Note Registrar shall promptly furnish such Noteholder with a list of the other Variable Funding Noteholders and Term Noteholders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request.

Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any holder of a Note of interest, principal or other amounts, or any such payment set aside on the Final Payment Date for such Note as provided in Section 2.10(b), shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.





(b)With respect to each Payment Date, any interest, principal and other amounts payable on the Variable Funding Notes and Certificated Term Notes shall be paid to the Person that is the registered holder thereof at the close of business on the related Record Date, and any interest, principal and other amounts payable on the Global Term Notes shall be distributed by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account maintained by the Depository or its nominee or, if a wire transfer cannot be effected, by a check in immediately available funds delivered to the Depository or its nominee; provided, however, that interest, principal and other amounts payable at the Final Payment Date of any Note shall be payable only against surrender thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee. Payments of interest, principal and other amounts on the Notes shall be made on the applicable Payment Date other than the Final Payment Date, subject to applicable laws and regulations, by wire transfer to such account as such Noteholder shall designate by written instruction received by the Indenture Trustee not later than the Record Date related to the applicable Payment Date or otherwise by check mailed on or before the Payment Date to the Person entitled thereto at such Person's address appearing on the Note Register.

If presentation is made after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day, such presentation shall be deemed to have been made on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

Interest, principal and other amounts payable on any Note issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on the Record Date immediately preceding the Final Payment Date for such Notes and ending on the Final Payment Date for such Notes, shall be payable to the Person that surrenders the new Note as provided in this Section 2.10(b).
All payments of interest, principal and other amounts made with respect to any Note of a Class will be allocated pro rata among the Outstanding Notes of such Class based on the Percentage Interest of that Note within such Class. Monthly interest and principal with respect to the Notes shall be determined, allocated and paid in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture.
If any Note on which the final payment was due is not presented for payment on its Final Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee shall set aside such payment in a segregated account separate from the Note Payment Account but which constitutes an Eligible Account, and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall act in accordance with Section 5.10 in respect of the unclaimed funds.
(c)On each Payment Date and any Redemption Date relating to a Total Redemption, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit into the Note Payment Account all funds on deposit in the Reimbursement Account and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.20, amounts from the Hedge Account and the Posted Collateral Account and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.15, amounts from the Reserve Account and, if applicable, any payments received from the Seller on an Option Purchase Date pursuant to Section 2.19 and any payments received from the Seller or its designee pursuant to Section 7.03(b) and withdraw from the Note Payment Account and apply the Available Funds for such Payment Date or Redemption Date, as applicable, for the following purposes a

Following issuance of the Redemption Notice by the Issuer, the Issuer shall be required to purchase the entire Outstanding or the Applicable Redemption Percentage of Note Principal Balance of the Notes, as of the Redemption Date, for the Note Redemption Amount on such Redemption Date. Each Secured Party, by its acceptance of a Note or any interest or rights under any Transaction Document, as applicable, hereby consents to the release of lien of this Indenture, in whole or in part, as applicable, upon the Issuer's deposit of the applicable Note Redemption Amount.

pplicable definition of Note Redemption Amount, pro rata, to any Swap Providers based on the aggregate amounts owed to each such Swap Provider. Upon the Issuer's payment of the Note Redemption Amount with respect to a Partial Redemption, (i) the Indenture Trustee, acting on behalf of the Noteholders, shall release its lien with respect to all outstanding Receivables related to the Securitization Trusts specified in the applicable Redemption Notice and shall, at the direction of the Agent, execute a lien release or similar instrument with respect thereto, such instrument to be provided to the Indenture Trustee, and (ii) Schedules I through IV attached hereto shall be updated accordingly. Upon the Issuer's payment of the Redemption Amount with respect to a Total Redemption, the Commitment of the Note Purchaser under Section 2.01 of the Note Purchase Agreement to purchase Additional Note Balances shall terminate.

The Agent shall give written notice (a “Clean-up Call Notice”) of its intent to put the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and each Swap Provider at least 30 days prior to the related Payment Date. Upon exercise of the Clean-up Call Option by the Agent, the Issuer shall be required to purchase the entire Outstanding Note Principal Balance of the Notes, as of the applicable Payment Date, for the Note Redemption Amount on the applicable Payment Date (such Payment Date, the “Clean-up Call Date”).
(c)Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, on the third Business Day prior to the applicable Redemption Date, the Clean-up Call Date or Stated Maturity Date, as applicable, the Issuer shall cause there to be deposited the Note Redemption Amount into the Note Payment Account.
(d)    On any Business Day during the Funding Period, the Variable Funding Notes may be subject to an optional paydown by the Issuer. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall give written notice to the Agent, each Hedge Provider and the Noteholders of its intent to paydown the Variable Funding Note Principal Balances at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such paydown shall occur (the “Paydown Date”). The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall remit the paydown amount to the Note Payment Account, as applicable, and the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw such amounts and allocate such amounts to reduce the Variable Funding Note Principal Balance of the Variable Funding Notes on a pro rata basis after remitting any termination payments due to the Hedge Provider under the applicable Swap Agreement; provided, that, if the Paydown Date is a Payment Date, such paydown amount will be remitted in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(vii)(F) after all prior payments in accordance with Section 2.10(c) have been made and that the Variable Funding Note Principal Balance of the Notes used to calculate such payments pursuant to Section 2.10(c) shall be the Variable Funding Note Principal Balance prior to distribution of the paydown amount. Notwithstanding any optional paydown as provided in this Section 2.16(d), the Commitment of the Holders of the Variable Funding Notes shall not be reduced.

Section 4.02.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default under any of Sections 4.01(a) through (c) or Sections 4.01(f) through (u) should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Agent, acting with the consent of the Controlling Class Required Noteholders, declare all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable in full, by a notice in writing to the Issuer and any Swap Provider, and upon any such declaration the unpaid Note Principal Balance of such Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable in full. If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.01(d) or (e) occurs, the unpaid Note Principal Balance of the Notes, together with all accrued interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall automatically become due and payable in full without any declaration or other act on the part of the Agent, the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder.
At any time after such declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due in respect of the Notes has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Section 4.02, the Agent, acting with the consent of the Required Noteholders, by written notice to the Issuer, to the Indenture Trustee and to any Hedge Provider and to the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(a)the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee to the Note Payment Account a sum sufficient to pay:
(i)all payments of principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes through the date of such declaration and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and
(ii)all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and counsel, in each case incurred in connection with such Event of Default; and
(iii)any and all amounts then due and payable to the Hedge Providers; and
(b)all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 4.12.
No such rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 4.03.    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.
(a)If the Issuer fails to pay all amounts due upon an acceleration of the Notes under Section 4.02 forthwith upon demand and such declaration and its consequences shall not have been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon such Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Trust Estate, wherever situated, or may institute and prosecute such non-judicial proceedings in lieu of judicial proceedings as are then permitted by applicable law.
(b)If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, in its discretion, p





roceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
(c)In case (x) there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, (y) a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or shall have taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such Person or (z) there shall be pending a comparable judicial proceeding brought by creditors of the Issuer or affecting the property of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of or interest on any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:
(i)to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective attorneys, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of the Indenture Trustee) and of the Noteholders allowed in such proceedings;

(d)Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any related Noteholder or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.
(e)In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.





(f)In the event that the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default hereunder institutes proceedings to foreclose on the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly give a notice to that effect to each Noteholder and each Hedge Provider.
(g)All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered, subject to the payment priorities of Section 2.10.

Section 4.04.    Remedies.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, upon five (5) days' prior notice to each other Secured Party, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following:
(a)institute, or cause to be instituted, Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on or under this Indenture with respect to the Notes, whether by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Trust Estate moneys adjudged due;
(b)sell, or cause to be sold, the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall give the Issuer written notice of any private sale called by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) at least ten (10) days prior to the date fixed for such private sale;
(c)institute, or cause to be instituted, Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure with respect to the Trust Estate;
(d)exercise, or cause to be exercised, any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes hereunder; and
(e)maintain possession of the Trust Estate and, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, collect and otherwise receive in accordance with this Indenture any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not, unless required by law, sell or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of the Trust Estate following any Event of Default except in accordance with Section 4.15.

Section 4.05.    Application of Money Collected.
Any money collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article IV shall be deposited in the Note Payment Account and, on each Payment Date, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of the principal of or interest on the Notes, upon presentation and surrender of the Notes if fully paid.
Section 4.06.    Limitation on Suits.
Except as provided in Section 4.07, no Noteholder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1)    such Noteholder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;





(2)     the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders shall have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(3)    such Noteholder or Noteholders have offered to the Indenture Trustee adequate indemnity or security satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4)    the Indenture Trustee for 60 days, after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security satisfactory to it, has failed to institute any such proceeding;
(5)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders; and
(6)    an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself or themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Noteholders. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Noteholders may exercise their rights under this Section 4.06 independently.
Section 4.07.    Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, following the Stated Maturity Date, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payments of interest, principal and other amounts then due on such Note (subject to Section 2.10) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment (subject to Section 4.06), and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder, unless a non-payment has been cured pursuant to Section 4.02. The Issuer shall, however, be subject to only one consolidated lawsuit by the Noteholders, or by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, for any one cause of action arising under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 4.08.    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued, waived, rescinded or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 4.09.    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 4.10    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.





No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 4.11.Control by Noteholders.
The Majority Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders will not be required to provide, and the Indenture Trustee will not be required to obtain, a Tax Opinion in the case of a direction by the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default, to realize upon the Trust Estate by liquidating the Collateral or otherwise.
Section 4.12.    Waiver of Past Defaults.
Prior to acceleration or the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes, the Controlling Class Required Noteholders may, on behalf of the Noteholders of all the Notes, waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default:
(1)    in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, which waiver shall require the waiver by Noteholders holding 100% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes affected;
(2)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected, which waiver shall require the waiver by each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected;
(3)    depriving the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of a lien or the benefit of a lien, as the case may be, upon any part of the Trust Estate, which waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be; or
(4)    depriving the Indenture Trustee of any fee, reimbursement for any expense incurred, or any indemnification to which the Indenture Trustee is entitled, which waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that no such waiver shall restore any Hedge Agreement which has terminated pursuant to its terms. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such acceleration and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.10(c).
Section 4.13.    Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such





suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses based on time expended, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Issuer, or to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate at least 25% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of Outstanding Notes or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the Stated Maturity Date of such Note.
Section 4.14    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee and any Hedge Provider, but will suffer and permit the exercise of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.15.    Sale of Trust Estate.
(a)The power to effect any public or private sale of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until either the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any such sale but such waiver does not apply to any amounts to which the Indenture Trustee is otherwise entitled under Section 5.04 of this Indenture.
(b)The Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless:
(i)the Agent, with the consent and on behalf of the Controlling Class Required Noteholders and each Swap Provider consents to, or directs the Indenture Trustee to make, such sale; or
(ii)the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the entire amount which would be payable to the Holders of the Notes, in full payment thereof, and all amounts payable including termination payments, to all Hedge Providers in accordance with Section 4.05, on any date following the date of such sale, together with all other amounts due under this Indenture.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15 shall not preclude or limit the ability of the Indenture Trustee to purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate at any sale, public or private, and the purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at any sale shall not be deemed a sale or disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 4.15(b).
(c)Unless the Holders of all Outstanding Notes have otherwise consented or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount described in paragraph (ii) of subsection (b) of this Section 4.15 has not been established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee shall in accordance with paragraph (ii) of subsection (d) of this Section 4.15 bid an amount at least $1.00 more than the highest other bid in order to preserve the Trust Estate.
(d)In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate:
(i)any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any





Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon in accordance with Section 2.10(c), shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
(ii)the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for sale in connection with any sale thereof, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross sale price against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the Holders of the Notes as a result of such sale in accordance with Section 4.05 on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such sale and (B) the expenses of the sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such sale or in order for the net sale price to be credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;
(iii)the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver, without recourse, an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof;
(iv)the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey the Issuer's interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale; and
(v)no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.
Section 4.16.    Action on Notes.
The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate.

ARTICLE V
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
    
Section 5.01.    Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
The Issuer hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Indenture Trustee and any Responsible Officer thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in place and stead of the Issuer and in the name of the Issuer or in its own name or in the name of a nominee, from time to time in the Indenture Trustee's discretion, for the purpose of enforcing the rights, powers and remedies of the Issuer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Indenture and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, all as set forth in this Indenture.
(a)The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of this Indenture shall be as follows:
(i)The Indenture Trustee shall have the full power and authority to do all things not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture that it may deem advisable in order to enforce the provisions hereof or to take any action with respect to a default or an Event of Default hereunder, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect hereto, or to protect the





interests of the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable except for its own bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence. The Issuer shall prepare and file or cause to be filed, at the Issuer's expense, a UCC Financing Statement, describing the Issuer as debtor, the Indenture Trustee as secured party and the Trust Estate as the collateral, in all appropriate locations promptly following the initial issuance of the Notes, and the Issuer shall prepare and file at each such office, continuation statements with respect thereto, in each case within six months prior to each fifth anniversary of the original filing. The Issuer is hereby authorized and obligated to make, at the expense of the Issuer, all required filings and refilings of which the Issuer becomes aware, necessary to preserve the liens created by this Indenture to the extent not done by the Issuer as provided herein. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action to exercise or enforce the trusts hereby created which, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Indenture Trustee, unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an agreement satisfactory to it in its sole reasonable discretion to indemnify it against such liability and expense. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, or in the Receivables Purchase Agreement or in any other instruments to be performed or observed by the Issuer or any party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(ii)Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders, or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provisions of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face in the form required by this Indenture to the extent expressly set forth herein. If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Indenture in a material manner, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Indenture Trustee's reasonable satisfaction, the Indenture Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, consent, certificate, opinion, or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine. In administering the trusts hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder directly or through its attorneys or custodians and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any negligence on the part of any custodian or attorney appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care. The Indenture Trustee may, subject to Section 5.04, consult with counsel, accountants and other professionals to be selected and employed by it, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such Person nor for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iii)The Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of any recording, filing or registration of any instrument or other document (including any UCC Financing Statements), or any amendments or supplements to any of said instruments or to determine if any such instrument or other document is in a form suitable for recording, filing or registration, and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of the payment of any fees, charges or taxes in connection therewith.
(iv)Whenever in performing its duties hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, rely upon (unless other evidence in respect thereof be specifically prescribed herein) an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer, and such Officer's Certificate shall be full warrant to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it on the faith thereof.
(v)The Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligations to see to the payment or discharge





of any liens (other than the liens hereof) upon the Receivables, or to see to the application of any payment of the principal of or interest on any note secured thereby or to the delivery or transfer to any Person of any property released from any such lien, or to give notice to or make demand upon any mortgagor, mortgagee, trustor, beneficiary or other Person for the delivery or transfer of any such property. The Indenture Trustee (and any successor trustee or co-trustee in its individual capacity) nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens or encumbrances on the Receivables arising as a result of the Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be) acting improperly in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be).
(vi)The Indenture Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to any Person for the use or application of any deposited moneys or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released from the lien hereof or thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof or thereof and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability for the acts of other parties that are not in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(b)The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Receivables and this Indenture, in addition to those set forth in Section 5.01(a), shall be as follows:
(i)except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(ii)the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture, to the extent expressly set forth herein.
(c)Subject to Section 4.12 hereof, in case an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(d)No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i)this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section; (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

The Indenture Trustee agrees to fully perform its duties under this Indenture notwithstanding any failure on the part of the Issuer to make any payments, reimbursements or indemnifications to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.04(a); provided, however, that (subject to Section 5.04(b)) nothing in this Section 5.04 shall be construed to limit the exercise by the Indenture Trustee of any right or remedy permitted under this Indenture in the event of the Issuer's failure to pay any sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.04.

No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article V.
Section 5.10.    Unclaimed Funds.
The Indenture Trustee is required to hold any payments received by it with respect to the Notes that are not paid to the Noteholders in trust for the Noteholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the expiration





of two (2) years following the Final Payment Date for the Notes, any moneys set aside in accordance with Section 2.10(b) for payment of principal, interest and other amounts on such Notes remain unclaimed by any lawful owner thereof, such unclaimed funds and, to the extent required by applicable law, any accrued interest thereon shall be remitted to the Issuer to be held in trust by the Issuer for the benefit of the applicable Noteholder until distributed in accordance with applicable law, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee with respect to such money shall thereupon cease; provided, that the Indenture Trustee, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the applicable Noteholder, payable out of such unclaimed funds, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and otherwise at the expense of the Issuer, cause to be published at least once but not more than three times in two newspapers in the English language customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation, in New York, New York, a notice to the effect that such moneys remain unclaimed and have not been applied for the purpose for which they were deposited, and that after a date specified therein, which shall be not less than 30 days after the date of first publication of said notice, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining in the hands of the Indenture Trustee will be paid to the Issuer upon its written directions to be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Noteholder until distributed in accordance with applicable law. Any successor to the Issuer through merger, consolidation or otherwise or any recipient of substantially all the assets of the Issuer in a liquidation of the Issuer shall remain liable for the amount of any unclaimed balance paid to the Issuer pursuant to this Section 5.10.
Section 5.11.    Illegal Acts.

Section 5.12    Communications by the Indenture Trustee.
The Indenture Trustee shall send to the Issuer, within one (1) Business Day after the Maturity Date thereof, if any principal of or interest on such Notes due and payable hereunder is not paid, a written demand for payment thereof.
Section 5.13    Separate Indenture Trustees and Co-Trustees.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting legal requirements applicable to it in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to, and shall execute and deliver all instruments to, appoint one or more Persons to act as separate trustees or co-trustees hereunder, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of any of the Trust Estate subject to this Indenture, and any such Persons shall be such separate trustee or co-trustee, with such powers and duties consistent with this Indenture as shall be specified in the instrument appointing such Person but without thereby releasing the Indenture Trustee from any of its duties hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee has no duty under this Indenture to perform any obligations of the Hedge Enforcement Party. If the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Agent and the Issuer to the retention of any such separate trustee or co-trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any fees or expenses of any such separate trustee or co-trustee. If the Indenture Trustee shall request the Issuer to do so, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution of such instrument, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without making such request. A separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 5.13 need not meet the eligibility requirements of Section 5.05.
(b)Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon such separate or





co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate or co-trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the appointing instrument, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed any nonresident trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee;
(ii)all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, in respect of the custody of all cash deposited hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; and
(iii)the Indenture Trustee may at any time by written instrument accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to make effective such resignation or removal, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to accept such resignation or to make such removal without making such request. A successor to a separate trustee or co-trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner otherwise provided herein.
(c)Such separate trustee or co-trustee, upon acceptance of such trust, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in such instrument, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as may be necessary to provide for (i) the appropriate interest in the Trust Estate to be vested in such separate trustee or co-trustee, (ii) the execution and delivery of any transfer documentation or note powers that may be necessary to give effect to the transfer of the Receivables to the co-trustee. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, by written instrument, constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney in fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion authorized or permitted by it, for and on behalf of it and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be dissolved, become incapable of acting, resign, be removed or die, all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee, until the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary as provided in this Indenture.
(d)Any notice, request or other writing, by or on behalf of any Noteholder, delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to all separate trustees and co-trustees.
(e)Although co-trustees may be jointly liable, no co-trustee or separate trustee shall be severally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any other such trustee hereunder.

mallest amount necessary to correct the Funding Imbalance as of such date.  The Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of any such designation or removal and shall be able to remove any Securitization Trust, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth above in this Section 7.03, upon the Indenture Trustee having received certification from the Seller in writing that it has filed all financing statements or amendments to financing statements as necessary.  The Issuer may sell the unreimbursed Receivables with respect to a removed Securitization Trust to the Seller or its designee. In connection with any sale of Receivables to Seller or its designee pursuant to this Section 7.03(b), Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited an amount equal to the Receivables Balance of each such Receivable purchased into the Note Payment Account and any termination payments required to be made pursuant to any Swap Agreements. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Indenture Trustee shall release the lien of this Indenture with respect to such purchased Receivables. 

Section 7.04.    Removal of Subserviced Securitization Trusts.
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such MSR Transfer Evidence with respect to all Securitization Trusts that are not Subserviced Securitization Trusts. Promptly after the Seller obtains complete MSR Transfer Evidence with respect to a Subserviced Securitization Trust, the Seller, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, shall deliver to the Agent such MSR Transfer Evidence. Subject to the terms of clause (l)(ii) of the definition of Eligible Servicing Contract, on any date on which the Agent receives the MSR Transfer Evidence with respect to a Subserviced Securitization Trust, the related Securitization Trust shall no longer be a “Subserviced Securitization Trust” and the Administrator shall update the Subserviced Securitization Trust Schedule and furnish it to the Agent and the Indenture Trustee, and the most recently furnished schedule shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee as the definitive Subserviced Securitization Trust Schedule.

(v)the Successor Person shall have assumed the obligations of the Issuer under all Hedge Agreements effective as of the date of such consolidation or merger.
(b)Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance or transfer of the Trust Estate securing the Notes, the Successor Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Person had been named as the Issuer herein. In the event of any such conveyance or transfer of the Trust Estate permitted by this Section 9.09, the Person named as the “Issuer” in the first paragraph of this Indenture, or any successor that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article and that has thereafter effected such a conveyance or transfer, may be dissolved, wound-up and liquidated at any time thereafter, and such Person thereafter shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker on all of the then Outstanding Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture.

Section 9.10.    Purchase of Notes.
The Issuer may reacquire Notes, in its discretion, by open market purchases in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Section 9.11    Indemnification.
(a)Without limiting any other rights that an Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Issuer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party (as defined below) from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (as defined below), excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking to indemnify the Indemnified Parties may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Issuer nevertheless shall pay such amounts as may be permitted under applicable law to satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.
Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Issuer shall pay in accordance with Section 2.10(c) to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(i)
a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Issuer under or in connection with this Indenture or any other Transaction Document (without duplication of any amount paid by the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement); or
(ii)
the failure by the Issuer to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document; or
(iii)
any information prepared by and furnished or to be furnished by any of the Issuer or the Seller or any of their Affiliates pursuant to or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, such written information as may have been and may be furnished in connection with any due diligence investigation with respect to the business, operations, financial condition of the Issuer, the Seller, any of their Affiliates or with respect to the Receivables, to the extent such information





contains any untrue statement of material fact.
(b)Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.11 shall be paid to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following demand therefor; provided that, prior to an Event of Default, amounts payable under this Section 9.11 shall only be payable on Payment Dates pursuant to Section 2.10(c). “Indemnified Party” means any of the Indenture Trustee (in all its capacities), the Calculation Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Posted Collateral Custodian, the Owner Trustee, the Agent, any Hedge Provider, the Noteholders and their officers, employees, directors, attorneys, consultants, agents and successors or assigns and Affiliates and any Person who controls any of the foregoing or their respective Affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act. “Indemnified Amounts” means any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and related reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party, to the extent such Indemnified Amounts are caused by the occurrence of an event described in Section 9.11(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, with respect to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.
(c)Promptly after an Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or other first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be claimed against the Issuer under this Section 9.11, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Issuer in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, but failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that the Issuer is prejudiced by such failure so to notify the Issuer. The Issuer will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, unless the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Issuer, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Issuer and such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Secured Parties and one firm of attorneys for the Indenture Trustee. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Issuer in the defense of any such action or claim. The Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.

Section 9.12.    Lewtan Reports.
The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Agent, any Hedge Providers and the Noteholders, beginning one month after the Closing Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable, and on each Payment Date thereafter, a Lewtan Report for any Aggregate Receivables related to outstanding Delinquency Advances. Any failure to provide such notice in a timely manner shall result in a Discount Factor Reduction Event; provided however, that the failure to deliver the Lewtan Report in a timely manner shall not by itself result in an Event of Default (it being understood that an Event of Default may occur due to a reduction in the Aggregate Collateral Value as a result of any applicable Discount Factor Reduction Event arising from the Issuer's failure to deliver a Lewtan Report pursuant to this Section 9.12).

As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Noteholders, and such instructions of the Majority Noteholders shall be binding upon all Noteholders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, exposes the Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document or applicable law.
Section 10.02    Nature of Duties.
The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture or in the other Transaction Documents. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agent shall not have by reason of this Indenture or any Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Noteholder. Nothing in this Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Noteholder shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Issuer in connection with advancing any Additional Note Balance pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Issuer and the value of the Collateral, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Noteholder with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the advance of the Initial Note Balance hereunder or at any time or times thereafter; provided, that, upon the reasonable request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide to such Noteholder any documents or reports delivered to the Agent by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document. Prior to waiving an Early Amortization Event, the Agent shall obtain the approval of the Controlling Class Required Noteholders. If the Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Noteholders to the taking or refraining from taking any action under this Indenture, the Agent shall send notice thereof to each Noteholder.

Section 10.03    Rights, Exculpation, Etc.
The Agent and its directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents





unless such action or inaction shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent or its directors, officers, agents or employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Agent or counsel to the Issuer), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Noteholder and shall not be responsible to any Noteholder for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Noteholder for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Indenture Trustee's Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Issuer in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Noteholders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 2.10, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Noteholder to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Noteholders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Noteholders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Indenture or of any of the other Transaction Document the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the other Transaction Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Majority Noteholders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Noteholder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Indenture, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Noteholders.
Section 10.04    Reliance.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
Section 10.05    Indemnification.
To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Issuer, the Noteholders will reimburse and indemnify the Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, in proportion to each Noteholder's Percentage Interest, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no Noteholder shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which





there has been a final judicial determination that such resulted from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Noteholders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of this Indenture.
Section 10.06.    Agent Individually.
With respect to its Percentage Interest under the Note Purchase Agreement, the advances made by it and the Variable Funding Notes issued to or held by it or any of its Affiliates, the Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Noteholder or holder of a Note. The terms “Controlling Class,” “Noteholders,” “Majority Noteholders,” “Controlling Class Majority Noteholders,” “Required Noteholders,” “Controlling Class Required Noteholders,” or Variable Funding Noteholders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Noteholder or one of the Majority Noteholders. The term “Agent” shall mean the Agent solely in its individual capacity as the Agent hereunder. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Issuer as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the Noteholders.
Section 10.07.    Successor Agent.
(a)The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to the Issuer and each Noteholder. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.
(b)Upon any such notice of resignation, the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders shall appoint a successor Agent who, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents. After the Agent's resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.
(c)If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who, if an Event of Default is not continuing, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Majority Noteholders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

Section 10.08    Collateral Matters.
(a)The Agent may from time to time, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which the Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Issuer of the Notes and other Issuer Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.05. The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Collateral and repayable pursuant to Section 2.10(c) on the Payment Date immediately succeeding the date on which such Agent Advances were made. The Agent Advances shall not constitute advances on the Notes but shall otherwise constitute Issuer Obligations hereunder. The Agent shall notify each Noteholder and the Issuer in writing of each Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Variable Funding Noteholder agrees that it shall make available to the Agent, upon the Agent's demand, in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Noteholder's Percentage Interest of such Agent A





dvance. If such funds are not made available to the Agent by such Noteholder, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Noteholder, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Reference Rate.
(b)The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Noteholders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Issuer or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section 10.08 or in any of the other Transaction Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the Noteholders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder.

Section 11.03.Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows,





or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that any Person shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of such Person's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of such Person to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article V.
Section 11.04.    Acts of Noteholders.
(a)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 5.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. With respect to authorization to be given or taken by Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized to follow the written directions or the vote of the Majority Noteholders, unless any greater or lesser percentage is required by the terms hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

(d)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, declaration, waiver or other act of any Noteholder shall bind every future Noteholder of the same Note and the Noteholder of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
Section 11.05    Computation of Percentage of Noteholders.
Whenever this Indenture states that any action may be taken by a specified percentage of the Noteholders, such statement shall mean that such action may be taken by the Noteholders of such specified percentage of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes.





Section 11.06    Notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and Certain Other Persons.
Any communication provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by courier or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if transmitted by telecopier and confirmed in a writing delivered or mailed as aforesaid, to: (i) in the case of the Issuer, Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-W, c/o Wilmington Trust, National Association, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890 Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, telecopy number: (302) 636-4140, telephone number: (302) 651-1000 and (ii) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, the Corporate Trust Office, or as to each such Person, such other address or facsimile number as may hereafter be furnished by such Person to the parties hereto in writing.
Section 11.07.    Notices to Noteholders; Notification Requirements and Waiver.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, a copy of any such notice shall be given simultaneously to each Hedge Provider, and in the case of any notice sent to Noteholders, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered by courier or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid; to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is delivered or mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular courier and mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Section 11.08.    Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 11.09.    Separability Clause.
In case any provision of this Indenture or of the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall, to the extent permitted by law, not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.10    Governing Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee, at the direction or upon the prior written consent of the Agent, acting with the consent of the Controlling Class Required Noteholders, has declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All applicable principal payments on the Notes shall be made to the Holders of the Notes entitled thereto as set forth in Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture.
The Collateral secures this Note and all other Notes equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between this Note and any other Note. The Notes are non‑recourse obligations of the Issuer and are limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Collateral, as provided in the Indenture. The Issuer shall not otherwise be liable for payments on the Notes, and none of the owners, agents, officers, directors, employees, or successors or assigns of the Issuer shall be personally liable for any amounts payable, or performance due, under the Notes or the Indenture.

Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any applicable Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form attached hereto duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program (“STAMP”), and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Issuer may require the Noteholder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.
Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or a beneficial ownership interest in a Note,





covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or “control person” within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.
Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or a beneficial ownership interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any time institute against the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes or the Transaction Documents.
The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Notes [will qualify] as debt secured by the Collateral. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note, agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as debt unless required otherwise by law in a proceeding of final determination.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified Percentage Interests of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of all of the Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of any Noteholder.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, none of the Issuer in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or





indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by ____________________ (the “Transferor”) to _____________________________ (the “Transferee”) of the [Variable Funding][Term] Notes having an [Variable Funding][Term] Initial Principal Balance as of [________________] of $______________. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of [_____________] (the “Indenture”), between Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-W as issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as indenture trustee. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Note Registrar, that:
1.    The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and has completed one of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex 1. The Transferee is a “qualified purchaser” (a “Qualified Purchaser”) as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and the rules thereunder. The Transferee is acquiring the Note for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer (who is a Qualified Purchaser), and understands that such Note may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person reasonably believed to be a Qualified Institutional Buyer (who is a Qualified Purchaser) that purchases for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer and Qualified Purchaser.
2.    The Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer any Note except in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, which provisions it has carefully reviewed, and that each Note will bear the following legend:
THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH NOTE (A) COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE INDENTURE AND (B) ONLY TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE 1933 ACT WHO IS A QUALIFIED PURCHASER UNDER SECTION 2(a)(51) OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE “1940 ACT”) AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER (AN “ELIGIBLE PURCHASER”) THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR

EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTERESTS HEREIN WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT THAT IT AGREES TO COMPLY WITH THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN AND IN THE WITHIN MENTIONED INDENTURE (THE “INDENTURE”), AND WILL NOT TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL OR ECONOMIC INTERESTS HEREIN EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE TO AN ELIGIBLE PURCHASER WHO MAKES THE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS REQUIRED THEREBY ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS PURCHASING. ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTERESTS HEREIN THAT IS IN BREACH, AT THE TIME MADE, OF ANY TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE MAY BE VOID AB INITIO. IF AT ANY TIME THE ISSUER DETERMINES IN GOOD FAITH THAT A HOLDER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THIS SECURITY OR BENEFICIAL INTERESTS HEREIN IS IN BREACH, AT THE TIME GIVEN, OF ANY OF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, THE ISSUER MAY IN ITS DISCRETION CONSIDER THE ACQUISITION BY SUCH HOLDER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THIS SECURITY OR SUCH BENEFICIAL INTERESTS VOID AND OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT, AND SUCH ACQUISITION WILL NOT, AT THE DISCRETION OF ISSUER, OPERATE TO TRANSFER ANY RIGHTS TO THE TRANSFEREE NOTWITHSTANDING ANY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CONTRARY TO THE ISSUER, THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE UNDER THE INDENTURE, OR ANY OTHER INTERMEDIARY. IN ADDITION, THE ISSUER MAY REQUIRE SUCH ACQUIRER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER TO SELL THIS SECURITY OR SUCH BENEFICIAL INTERESTS TO AN ELIGIBLE PURCHASER.

QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A/QUALIFIED PURCHASER STATUS UNDER SECTION 2(a)(51)
[for Transferees other than Registered Investment Companies]
The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor] (the “Transferor”) and [name of Note Registrar], as Note Registrar, with respect to the [Variable Funding][Term] Note No. [__] (the “Notes”) being transferred as described in the Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates and to which this certification is an Annex:

2.    The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule l44A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144A”) because (i) the Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $100,000,000 or more in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) the Transferee satisfies the criteria in the category marked below.
        
Corporation, etc. The Transferee is a corporation (other than a bank, savings and loan association or similar institution), Massachusetts or similar business trust, partnership, or any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Other. (Please supply a brief description of the entity and a cross‑reference to the paragraph and subparagraph under subsection (a)(1) of Rule 144A pursuant to which it qualifies.)

3.    The Transferee is a “qualified purchaser” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, together with the rules and regulations thereunder (the “1940 Act”), and is aware that the Issuer will not be registered under the 1940 Act in reliance on the exemption set forth in Section 3(c)(7) thereof and that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Transferee further represents and warrants that:
(A)    it is not purchasing the Notes with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not sell participation interests in the notes or enter into any other arrangement pursuant to which any other person will be entitled to an interest in any payments on or based on the notes;
(B)    it is not a broker-dealer that owns and invests on a discretionary basis less than $25 million in securities of unaffiliated issuers;
(C)    it is not a participant-directed employee plan, such as a 401(k) plan, as referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A, or a trust fund referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the assets of such a plan;
(D)    it is not (x) a partnership, common trust fund, special trust, pension fund or retirement plan or other entity in which the partners, beneficiaries, security owners or participants, as the case may be, may designate the particular investments to be made or the allocation thereof, unless each such partner, beneficiary, security owner or participant empowered alone or with other partners or participants to make such decisions meets all requirements set forth herein for qualification as an eligible purchaser, or (y) an entity that has invested more than 40% of its assets in securities of the Issuer, giving effect to the amount invested in connection with its acquisition of the notes or a beneficial interest therein, unless each beneficial owner of the eligible purchaser's securities meets all requirements set forth herein for qualification as an eligible purchaser;
(E)    it either (x) is not an entity organized prior to April 30, 1996 that is excepted from the 1940 Act pursuant to section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) thereof or (y) has received the consent of the beneficial owners of its securities with respect to its treatment as a “qualified purchaser” in the manner required by section 2(a)51(C) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder;
(F)    it acknowledges that the Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that the Notes





have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Issuer has not been or will be registered under the 1940 Act; and
(G)    if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Purchased Notes or beneficial or economic interests therein, such Notes or interests may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only to a transferee who first provides a certificate in the form of this Exhibit B of the Indenture on behalf of itself and each account for which it is purchasing.         
4.    The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee did not include any of the securities referred to in this paragraph.
5.    For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market. Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction. However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority‑owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
6.    ____     ____        Will the Transferee be purchasing the Notes
Yes    No        only for the Transferee's own account?
If the answer to the foregoing question is “no,” then in each case where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule l44A and a “qualified purchaser” under Section 2(a)(51) and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the “qualified institutional buyer” and “qualified purchaser” status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A and such third party has represented that it is a “qualified purchaser” under Section 2(a)(51) and the rules and regulations thereunder.
8.    The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Notes will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties any updated annual financial statements that become available on or before the date of such purchase, promptly after they become available.

(s)A Global Term Note deposited with the Depository pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof only if such transfer complies with Section 2.05 and the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Term Note or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days of such notice.  Any Global Term Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Indenture Trustee's Corporate Trust Office, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Term Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Notes of authorized denominations. Any





portion of a Global Term Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01, the registered Holder of a Global Term Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Term Notes.  Upon receipt of notice from the Depository of the occurrence of the event specified in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(d), the Issuer shall use its best efforts to make arrangements with the Depository for the exchange of interests in the Global Term Notes for individual Certificated Term Notes, and cause the requested individual Certificated Term Notes to be executed and delivered to the Note Registrar in sufficient quantities and authenticated by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for delivery to Noteholders.  Persons exchanging interests in a Global Term Note for individual Certificated Term Notes will be required to provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, through the Depository, (i) written instructions and other information required by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to complete, execute and deliver such individual Certificated Term Notes and (ii) such certification as to QIB status pursuant to Rule 144A and Qualified Purchaser status under Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Act as the Issuer shall require. In all cases, individual Certificated Term Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Term Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by the Depository.
Section 2.02.    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
(t)The Notes shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Issuer by any Authorized Officer of the Issuer. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the authorized officers of the Issuer shall be entitled to all benefits under this Indenture, subject to the following sentence, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, or be valid for any purpose, however, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(u)Upon the written request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall and, at the election of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more agents (each an “Authenticating Agent”) with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with the transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.05 and 2.06, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to authenticate the Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee.” The Indenture Trustee shall be the initial Authenticating Agent.
Any corporation, bank, trust company or association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, bank, trust company or association resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation, bank, trust company or association succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation, bank, trust company or association.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Indenture Trustee may, or at the direction of the Issuer shall, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, give written notice of such





appointment to the Issuer and give notice of such appointment to the Noteholders. Upon the resignation or termination of the Authenticating Agent and prior to the appointment of a successor, the Indenture Trustee shall act as Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to all limitations on liability, rights of reimbursement and indemnities that the Indenture Trustee is entitled to hereunder as if it were the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.03    Acknowledgment of Receipt of the Receivables.
(v)Upon receipt by it of the Receivable Files with respect to the Initial Receivables and all other assets to be delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture and included in the Trust Estate on the Initial Funding Date, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Noteholders and acknowledge such receipt. In each case, such receipt shall be in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim. The Indenture Trustee declares that it will hold such documents and the other documents received by it that constitute portions of the Receivables Files received after the Initial Funding Date, and that it will hold all assets included in the Trust Estate, on behalf of all present and future Secured Parties.
(w)The Indenture Trustee shall not be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Receivables delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form if recordation is required, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
The Indenture Trustee shall not assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Receivables or any other asset constituting the Trust Estate (except as expressly provided herein) or knowingly permit the Receivables or any other asset constituting the Trust Estate to be subjected to any lien (other than Permitted Liens), claim or encumbrance arising by, through or under the Indenture Trustee or any Person claiming by, through or under the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.04     The Notes Generally.
(x)The aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to the Variable Funding Note Maximum Balance plus the Term Note Initial Principal Balance, as set forth in this Indenture, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.06 below.
(y)Each Note of a Class shall rank pari passu with each other Note of such Class and be equally and ratably secured by the Trust Estate. All Notes shall be substantially identical except as otherwise to denominations and as expressly permitted in this Indenture.
(z)This Indenture shall evidence a continuing lien on and security interest in the Trust Estate to secure the full payment of the principal, interest and other amounts on all the Notes, which (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) shall in all respects be equally and ratably secured hereby without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication and delivery of such Notes.
Section 2.05    Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
(aa)At all times during the term of this Indenture, there shall be maintained at the office of a registrar appointed by the Issuer (the “Note Registrar”) a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Note Registrar may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in accordance with the terms hereof) as Note Registrar for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Issuer, any other bank or trust company to act as Note Registrar under such conditions as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder as Note Registrar by reason of such appointment. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the





successor indenture trustee shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Note Registrar. The Issuer and the Noteholders shall have the right to inspect the Note Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Note Registrar as to the information set forth in the Note Register.
(ab)No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or beneficial ownership interest therein shall be made unless the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall have received (i) other than a participation or a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of an interest in the Note to a Support Party (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) or to an Affiliate (in each case, without the related Commitment), the prior written consent of the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) other than a pledge of the type described in Section 9.07(d) of the Note Purchase Agreement, a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto. If a transfer of any Note or any beneficial ownership interest therein is made without (i) other than a participation or a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of an interest in the Note to a Support Party (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) or to an Affiliate (in each case, without the related Commitment), the receipt by the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee of the prior written consent of the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) other than a pledge of the type described in Section 9.07(d) of the Note Purchase Agreement, a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it and the Indenture Trustee receive (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) such items. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Notes under the 1933 Act or any other securities law.
(ac)By acquiring a Note, each purchaser of a Variable Funding Note or a Certificated Term Note shall and, each purchaser of a Global Term Note will be deemed to, represent, warrant and covenant that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note with the assets of an employee benefit plan or plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”) or any other plan subject to a federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a nonexempt violation of any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Furthermore, by acquiring a Note, the Note Purchasers will be deemed to give the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer a binding instruction to enter into the Hedge Agreements and the transactions thereunder, and each transferee will, by the acquisition of such Note, be deemed to have given the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer a binding instruction to enter into transactions pursuant to the Hedge Agreements.
(ad)If a Person is acquiring any Note or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to certify that it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.05.
(ae)Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.05, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of a like aggregate Note Principal Balance.
(af)At the option of any Noteholder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of authorized denominations of a like aggregate Note Principal Balance, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(ag)Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer





in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(ah)No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Notes or beneficial ownership interest therein, but the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes or beneficial ownership interests therein.
(ai)All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures.
(aj)The Note Registrar shall provide to each of the Issuer and any Noteholder, upon reasonable written request and at the expense of the requesting party, an updated copy of the Note Register.
(ak)Subject to Section 9.07(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall not permit a transfer of any Variable Funding Note unless such transfer, is consented to in writing by the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, this Section 2.05(k) does not apply to the transfer of a participation interest of a Variable Funding Note or the transfer of all or a portion of a Variable Funding Note that does not include the Commitment of the related Note Purchaser under the Note Purchase Agreement.
Section 2.06    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor, a new Note of the same principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction (including mutilation tantamount to destruction), loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to hold each of them, and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same tenor and denomination registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.06, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Noteholder of an amount sufficient to pay or discharge any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Authenticating Agent, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee) in connection therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 in lieu of any destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by any Person, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 2.07    Noteholder Lists.
The Note Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Variable Funding Noteholders and Term Noteholders, which





list, upon request, will be made available to the Indenture Trustee insofar as the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Note Registrar. Upon written request of any Noteholder at the Noteholder's expense made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Note Registrar shall promptly furnish such Noteholder with a list of the other Variable Funding Noteholders and Term Noteholders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request. Every Noteholder, by receiving such access, agrees with the Note Registrar that the Note Registrar will not be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Noteholder regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 2.08    Persons Deemed Owners.
The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agents of any of them may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal, interest and other amounts in respect of such Note and for all other purposes, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agents of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided, however, that the Depository, or its nominee, shall be deemed the owner of the Global Term Notes, and owners of beneficial interests in Global Term Notes will not be considered the owners of any Notes for the purpose of receiving notices.
Section 2.09    Accounts.
(al)On or prior to the date hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall establish in its name, as Indenture Trustee, the Reimbursement Account, the Note Payment Account, the Reserve Account and the Funding Account. Except as provided in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal with respect to the Accounts. Funds in the Accounts shall not be commingled with any other moneys. All moneys deposited from time to time in the Accounts (including any securities or instruments in which such moneys are invested) shall be held by and under the control of the Indenture Trustee in the Accounts for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Issuer as herein provided. All amounts received by the Indenture Trustee, including, without limitation, amounts received from the Servicer in respect of the Aggregate Receivables and amounts received from the Seller as Repurchase Prices, shall be deposited into the Reimbursement Account within one (1) Business Day following receipt by the Indenture Trustee and shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. In addition, the Issuer may, from time to time, remit additional funds to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Reimbursement Account to be applied for the purposes set forth herein.
(am)All of the funds on deposit in the Accounts may be invested and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Agent in one or more Permitted Investments, subject to the following requirements:
(i)such Permitted Investments shall mature not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the next Payment Date or Funding Date, whichever is sooner (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of or is managed by the Indenture Trustee or its Affiliate, such Permitted Investment shall not mature later than the next Payment Date or Funding Date, whichever is sooner);
(ii)the securities purchased with the moneys in the Accounts shall be deemed to be funds deposited in the related Accounts;
(iii)each such Permitted Investment shall be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture Trustee's complete and exclusive dominion and control (or, if applicable law provides for perfection of pledges of an instrument not evidenced by a certificate or other instrument through registration of such pledge on books maintained by or on behalf of the issuer of such investment, a Permitted Investment may be made in such instrument notwithstanding that such instrument is not under the dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee, provided that such pledge is so registered);
(iv)other than the investments described in the second parenthetical phrase in clause (iii)





above, the Indenture Trustee shall have the sole control over such investment, the income thereon and the proceeds thereof;
(v)other than the investments described in the second parenthetical phrase in clause (iii) above, any certificate or other instrument evidencing such investment shall be delivered directly to the Indenture Trustee or its agent; and
(vi)the proceeds of each investment shall be remitted by the purchaser thereof directly to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the related Account, subject to withdrawal by the Indenture Trustee as provided herein.
In the absence of written direction from the Agent, with respect to the Accounts, funds on deposit in the Accounts shall remain un-invested. All amounts earned on Permitted Investments during the prior calendar month shall be deposited into the Note Payment Account on each Payment Date and shall be included in the Available Funds for such Payment Date.
(c)    Each of the Accounts shall remain at all times as Eligible Accounts. In the event that any of the Accounts no longer qualifies as an Eligible Account under the definition thereof, the Issuer shall promptly, and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following such Account failing to qualify as an Eligible Account, direct the Indenture Trustee to remit all funds in such Account to a specified Eligible Account.
(d)    The Servicer shall cause all collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans included in each Securitization Trust to be deposited into the related Collection Account pursuant to the related Servicing Contract. No less frequently than each Business Day, the Servicer shall withdraw all amounts available to reimburse Delinquency Advances, Servicing Advances and Legacy Deferred Servicing Fees from the related Collection Account or from related proceeds and shall remit such amounts to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Reimbursement Account.
(e)    Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall release to the Issuer all amounts, if any, held by it remaining as part of the Trust Estate.
Section 2.10    Payments on the Notes.
(an)Subject to Section 2.10(b), the Issuer agrees to pay:
(i)prior to the Stated Maturity, on each Payment Date and any Redemption Date relating to a Total Redemption, interest on and principal of the Notes in the amounts and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.10(c), and on each Redemption Date relating to a Partial Redemption, interest on and principal of the Notes in the amounts and in accordance with Section 2.16(a); and
(ii)on the Stated Maturity, the entire Note Principal Balance of the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and all other amounts then due and payable by Issuer (excluding contingent obligations) to the Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.
Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any holder of a Note of interest, principal or other amounts, or any such payment set aside on the Final Payment Date for such Note as provided in Section 2.10(b), shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.
(ao)With respect to each Payment Date, any interest, principal and other amounts payable on the Variable Funding Notes shall be paid to the Person that is the registered holder thereof at the close of business on the related Record Date, and any interest, principal and other amounts payable on the Global Term Notes shall be distributed by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account maintained by the Depository or its nominee or, if a wire transfer cannot





be effected, by a check in immediately available funds delivered to the Depository or its nominee; provided, however, that interest, principal and other amounts payable at the Final Payment Date of any Note shall be payable only against surrender thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee. Payments of interest, principal and other amounts on the Notes shall be made on the applicable Payment Date other than the Final Payment Date, subject to applicable laws and regulations, by wire transfer to such account as such Noteholder shall designate by written instruction received by the Indenture Trustee not later than the Record Date related to the applicable Payment Date or otherwise by check mailed on or before the Payment Date to the Person entitled thereto at such Person's address appearing on the Note Register. The Indenture Trustee shall pay each Note in whole or in part as provided herein on its Final Payment Date in immediately available funds from funds in the Note Payment Account as promptly as possible after presentation to the Indenture Trustee of such Note at its Corporate Trust Office but shall initiate such payment no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of such presentation; provided, that such presentation has been made no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time. If presentation is made after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day, such presentation shall be deemed to have been made on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
Except as provided in the following sentence, if a Note is issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on any Record Date and ending before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related Payment Date, no interest, principal or other amounts will be payable on such Payment Date in respect of such new Note, but will be payable on such Payment Date only in respect of the prior Note. Interest, principal and other amounts payable on any Note issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on the Record Date immediately preceding the Final Payment Date for such Notes and ending on the Final Payment Date for such Notes, shall be payable to the Person that surrenders the new Note as provided in this Section 2.10(b).
All payments of interest, principal and other amounts made with respect to any Note of a Class will be allocated pro rata among the Outstanding Notes of such Class based on the Percentage Interest of that Note within such Class. Monthly interest and principal with respect to the Notes shall be determined, allocated and paid in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture.
If any Note on which the final payment was due is not presented for payment on its Final Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee shall set aside such payment in a segregated account separate from the Note Payment Account but which constitutes an Eligible Account, and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall act in accordance with Section 5.10 in respect of the unclaimed funds.
(ap)On each Payment Date and any Redemption Date relating to a Total Redemption, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit all funds from the Reimbursement Account and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.15 and amounts from the Reserve Account and, if applicable, any payments received from the Seller on an Option Purchase Date pursuant to Section 2.19 into the Note Payment Account and withdraw from the Note Payment Account and apply the Available Funds for such Payment Date or Redemption Date, as applicable, for the following purposes and in the following order of priority, in each case to the extent of remaining funds:
Pro rata, to the Issuer, an amount equal to the sum of its actual expenses (including the fees, expenses and indemnities of (i) the Owner Trustee and (ii) the ________________________________

(at)Notice of final payment of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of final payment, or any defect therein, to any Noteholder shall not impair or affect the validity of the final payment of any other Note; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to provide any notice required by this Section 2.11 to the extent that such notice has not been provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Servicer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Indenture Trustee is required to deliver such notice hereunder.
Section 2.12    Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall comply with all federal and state withholding requirements with respect to payments to Noteholders of interest, original issue discount, or other amounts that the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Noteholders shall not be required for any such withholding. All Noteholders shall be required to deliver to the Indenture Trustee prior to the first Payment Date and at any time or times required by applicable law, (i) a correct, complete and properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), as applicable and (ii) any documentation that is required under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code to enable the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any other agent of the Issuer to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes they may be required to withhold pursuant to such Code sections in respect of such Note or the Noteholder of such Note or beneficial interest therein. The Indenture Trustee will withhold on all payments of the Unused Line Fee to non-U.S. Noteholders unless the beneficial owners for U.S. federal income tax purposes of such Note provide a correct, complete and properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or are eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation on U.S. source Unused Line Fees and such non-U.S. Noteholder provides a correct, complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN.
Section 2.13.    Cancellation.
The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Note Registrar for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Note Registrar.
All Notes delivered to the Indenture Trustee for payment shall be forwarded to the Note Registrar. All such Notes and all Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and disposed of by the Note Registrar in accordance with its customary procedures.
Section 2.14.    Additional Note Balance.
(au)In the event of the purchase of any Additional Note Balances by the Note Purchaser as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note Purchaser shall, and is hereby authorized to, record on the schedule attached to its Variable Funding Note the date and amount of any Additional Note Balance purchased by it, and each repayment thereof; provided, that failure to make any such recordation on such schedule or any error in such schedule shall not adversely affect any Variable Funding Noteholder's rights with respect to its Additional Note Balance and its right to receive interest payments in respect of the Additional Note Balance held by such Noteholder.
(av)Absent manifest error, the Note Principal Balance of each Variable Funding Note as set forth in the notations made by the related Variable Funding Noteholder on such Variable Funding Note shall be binding upon the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer; provided, that failure by a Variable Funding Noteholder to make such recordation on its Variable Funding Note or any error in such notation shall not adversely affect any Variable Funding Noteholder's rights with respect to its Variable Funding Note Principal Balance and its right to receive principal and interest payments in respect thereof.
Section 2.15.    Reserve Account.
On or prior to the Initial Funding Date, the Issuer shall cause the Required Reserve Amount to be





deposited into the Reserve Account. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit in the Reserve Account on each Payment Date the amount, if any, distributed for deposit in the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(vii).
If, on any Payment Date prior to the earlier to occur of an Event of Default or the Stated Maturity, the Available Funds for such Payment Date are insufficient to pay the amounts required to be paid pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.10(c), the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw the amount of such shortfall from the Reserve Account and deposit the same into the Note Payment Account to be applied to the payment of such items. If, on any Payment Date following the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event (assuming no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw the amount of excess of the balance of the Reserve Account over the Required Reserve Amount, to pay all amounts under clause (ix) of Section 2.10(c), and following the earlier to occur of an Event of Default or the Stated Maturity Date, to pay all amounts under Section 2.10(c), the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw the amount of such shortfall from the Reserve Account and deposit the same into the Note Payment Account to be applied to the payment of such items.
Upon payment in full of all of the Issuer Obligations, the Indenture Trustee shall release all amounts remaining in the Reserve Account to or at the direction of the Issuer.
Section 2.16.    Redemption; Clean-up Call Option; Optional Paydown.
(aw)The Notes shall be subject to optional redemption in whole (such redemption, a “Total Redemption”) or in part (such redemption, a “Partial Redemption”); provided, however, that (I) the Issuer shall not conduct a Partial Redemption of aggregate Note Principal Balances without the prior written consent of the Agent and (II) any Partial Redemption of Note Principal Balance of the Notes shall be applied pro rata among the Term Notes and the Variable Funding Notes. The Issuer shall give written notice (a “Redemption Notice”) of its intent to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.16 to the Indenture Trustee (for subsequent distribution to the Noteholders) and, to the extent the Agent's consent is not required to conduct such redemption, the Agent, at least 5 Business Days prior to the Redemption Date (which date shall be specified in such notice as the “Redemption Date”). Each Redemption Notice shall include a list of Securitization Trusts the Receivables of which the Issuer desires to purchase on the related Redemption Date. Following issuance of the Redemption Notice by the Issuer, the Issuer shall be required to purchase the entire Outstanding Note Principal Balance of the Notes, as of the Redemption Date, for the Note Redemption Amount on such Redemption Date. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, hereby consents to the release of lien of this Indenture, in whole or in part, as applicable, upon the Issuer's deposit of the applicable Note Redemption Amount. On any Redemption Date relating to a Partial Redemption, the Indenture Trustee shall remit the applicable Note Redemption Amount with respect to the amounts set forth under clauses (i) and (ii) of the applicable definition of Note Redemption Amount, pro rata, to the Variable Funding Noteholders (based on the Variable Funding Note Principal Balance) and to the Term Noteholders (based on the Term Note Principal Balance). Upon the Issuer's payment of the Note Redemption Amount with respect to a Partial Redemption, (i) the Indenture Trustee, acting on behalf of the Noteholders, shall release its lien with respect to all outstanding Receivables related to the Securitization Trusts specified in the applicable Redemption Notice and shall, at the direction of the Agent, execute a lien release or similar instrument with respect thereto, such instrument to be provided to the Indenture Trustee, and (ii) Schedules I through IV attached hereto shall be updated accordingly. Upon the Issuer's payment of the Redemption Amount with respect to a Total Redemption, the Commitment of the Note Purchaser under Section 2.01 of the Note Purchase Agreement to purchase Additional Note Balances shall terminate.
(ax)On any Payment Date following an Early Amortization Event (including clauses (a) and (n) under the definition thereof) on which the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Notes is less than or equal to 10% of the sum of (i) the aggregate of the Term Note Initial Principal Balance for the Term Notes, (ii) the





balance of the Variable Funding Note as of the Closing Date and (iii) the aggregate of all Additional Note Balances purchased on or prior to such date pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (the sum of (ii) and (iii) not to be greater than the Variable Funding Note Maximum Balance), the Agent may effect a put of the entire Outstanding Note Principal Balance of the Notes, as of the applicable Payment Date, to the Issuer by exercise of the Clean-up Call Option. The Agent shall give written notice (a “Clean-up Call Notice”) of its intent to put the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least 30 days prior to the related Payment Date. Upon exercise of the Clean-up Call Option by the Agent, the Issuer shall be required to purchase the entire Outstanding Note Principal Balance of the Notes, as of the applicable Payment Date, for the Note Redemption Amount on the applicable Payment Date (such Payment Date, the “Clean-up Call Date”).
(ay)Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, on the Business Day prior to the applicable Redemption Date, the Clean-up Call Date or Stated Maturity, as applicable, the Issuer shall cause there to be deposited the Note Redemption Amount into the Note Payment Account.
(az)On any Business Day during the Funding Period (the “Paydown Date”), the Variable Funding Notes may be subject to an optional paydown by the Issuer. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall give written notice to the Agent and the Noteholders of its intent to paydown the Variable Funding Note Principal Balances at least two (2) Business Days prior to the chosen Paydown Date. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall remit the paydown amount to the Note Payment Account, and the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw such amounts and allocate such amounts to reduce the Variable Funding Note Principal Balance of the Variable Funding Notes on a pro rata basis; provided, that, if the Paydown Date is a Payment Date, such paydown amount will be remitted in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(viii)(B) after all prior payments in accordance with Section 2.10(c) have been made and that the Note Principal Balance of the Notes used to calculate such payments pursuant to Section 2.10(c) shall be the Note Principal Balance prior to distribution of the paydown amount. Notwithstanding any optional paydown as provided in this Section 2.16(d), the Commitment of the Holders of the Variable Funding Notes shall not be reduced.
Section 2.17.    Securities Accounts
(a)    The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby appoint Wells Fargo Bank N.A. as securities intermediary (in such capacity, the “Securities Intermediary”) with respect to each of the Accounts. The Security Entitlements and all Financial Assets credited to the Accounts, including without limitation all amounts, securities, investments, Financial Assets, investment property and other property from time to time deposited in or credited to such account and all proceeds thereof, held from time to time in the Accounts will continue to be held by the Securities Intermediary for the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon the termination of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall inform the Securities Intermediary of such termination. By acceptance of their Notes or interests therein, the Noteholders and all beneficial owners of Notes shall be deemed to have appointed Wells Fargo Bank N.A. as Securities Intermediary. Wells Fargo Bank N.A. hereby accepts such appointment as Securities Intermediary.
(i)    With respect to any portion of the Trust Estate that is credited to the Accounts, the Securities Intermediary agrees that:
(A)    with respect to any portion of the Trust Estate that is held in deposit accounts, each such deposit account shall be subject to the security interest granted pursuant to this Indenture, and the Securities Intermediary shall comply with instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing dispositions of funds in the deposit accounts without further consent of the Issuer and otherwise shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Securities Intermediary, and the Securities Intermediary shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;
(B)    the sole assets permitted in the Accounts shall be those that the Securities





Intermediary agrees to treat as Financial Assets;
(C)    any portion of the Trust Estate that is, or is treated as, a Financial Asset shall be physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or other eligible institution maintaining any Account in accordance with the Securities Intermediary's customary procedures such that the Securities Intermediary or such other institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto over which the Securities Intermediary or such other institution has control; and
(D)    it will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer if any other Person claims that it has a property interest in a Financial Asset in any Account and that it is a violation of that Person's rights for anyone else to hold, transfer or deal with such Financial Asset.
(ii)    The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (A) each Account is an account to which Financial Assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture, treat the Indenture Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to any Account, (B) any portion of the Trust Estate in respect of any Account will be promptly credited by the Securities Intermediary to such account, and (C) all securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any Account be registered in the name of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Seller, payable to the order of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Seller or specially endorsed to any of such Persons.
(iii)    If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an Entitlement Order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Seller or any other Person. If at any time the Indenture Trustee notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that this Indenture has been discharged in accordance herewith, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Indenture Trustee or any other Person.
(iv)    In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Account or any Financial Asset or Security Entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee. The Financial Assets and Security Entitlements credited to the Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee in the case of the Accounts.
(v)    There are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary in such capacity, and the Securities Intermediary agrees that it will not enter into any agreement with, the Issuer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller or any other Person with respect to any Account. In the event of any conflict between this Indenture (or any provision of this Indenture) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Indenture shall prevail.
(vi)    The rights and powers granted herein to the Indenture Trustee have been granted in





order to perfect its interest in the Accounts and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and are powers coupled with an interest and will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Seller nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Accounts and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Indenture Trustee has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing.
(b)    Capitalized terms used in this Section 2.17 and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the New York UCC. For purposes of Section 8-110(e) of the New York UCC, the “securities intermediary's jurisdiction” shall be the State of New York.
(c)    None of the Securities Intermediary or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary shall be under any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Secured Parties for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Indenture, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Securities Intermediary against any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Secured Parties which would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Securities Intermediary's willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder. The Securities Intermediary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Securities Intermediary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of such document. The Issuer shall indemnify the Securities Intermediary for and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with this Indenture and carrying out it duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability, except in those cases where the Securities Intermediary has been guilty of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Securities Intermediary.
(d)    Prior to the date which is one year and one day, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all of the Notes, the Securities Intermediary will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law in any jurisdiction.
Section 2.18    Tax Treatment of the Notes.
The Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal, state or local income tax, franchise tax and any other income tax purposes, the Notes be treated as debt. Each prospective purchaser and any subsequent transferee of a Note or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat such Note in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law in a proceeding of final determination.
Section 2.19.    Purchase Option.
The Seller shall have the option at any time, and from time to time, to purchase from the Issuer up to three percent (3%) of the Aggregate Receivables outstanding on the date of such purchase for an amount equal to the Receivables Balance of the Receivables to be purchased. The Seller shall give written notice (an “Option Notice”) of its intent to exercise the purchase option to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which such purchase will occur (the “Option Purchase Date”). The Receivables to be sold to the Seller on any such Option Purchase Date shall be selected by the Seller and shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the Aggregate Receivables; provided, however, that the Seller shall purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.19 in whole, and not in part, with respect to





any Securitization Trust. If the Seller exercises its purchase option pursuant to this Section 2.19, upon deposit of an amount equal to the Receivables Balance of such purchased Receivables into the Note Payment Account, the Indenture Trustee shall release the lien of this Indenture with respect to such purchased Receivables.  If the Seller exercises this option, the option shall expire with respect to the Aggregate Receivables existing on such Option Purchase Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall have the option to purchase up to three percent (3%) of any Additional Receivables sold to the Issuer following such Option Purchase Date.
Section 2.20.    Hedge Agreements
(ba)Following the Closing Date, the Issuer may enter into one or more Hedge Agreements with respect to the Notes.   The Indenture Trustee is hereby directed by the Issuer to execute and deliver any such Hedge Agreements on behalf of the Issuer, as owner thereof (for the benefit of the Noteholders) and to exercise the rights, perform the obligations and make the representations of the Issuer thereunder, solely in its capacity as Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and not in its individual capacity. The Noteholders (by acceptance of their Notes) acknowledge and agree that (i) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver any Hedge Agreement on behalf of the Issuer, (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights, perform the obligations and make the representations of the Issuer thereunder, solely in its capacity as Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and not in its individual capacity and (iii) under no circumstances shall Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in its individual capacity be personally liable for the payment on any indebtedness or expense or be personally liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken under any Hedge Agreement. Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall apply to the Indenture Trustee's execution of any Hedge Agreement, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.
(bb)As of the effective date of each Hedge Agreement, the related Hedge Provider shall have credit ratings at least equal to (i) a short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of “A-2” from S&P, or if such Hedge Provider does not have a short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating from S&P, a long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating or counterparty rating of “BBB+” from S&P and (ii) a long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of “BBB-” from Fitch. In addition, each Hedge Agreement entered into shall satisfy, in all respects, the “Revised Framework for Applying Counterparty and Supporting Party Criteria,” published by S&P on May 8, 2007, as supplemented by “Methodology And Assumptions: Update And Clarification To Counterparty Criteria For Interest Rate Swap Counterparties In 'AAA' Rated Transactions”, published by S&P on April 1, 2009 or any more recent publications released by S&P updating such criteria.
(bc)The Indenture Trustee shall, prior to the applicable effective date of any Hedge Agreement, establish a segregated trust account in accordance with Section 2.09 that shall be designated as a Hedge Account, at such financial institution as necessary to ensure that the Hedge Account is at all times an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account, in its name, as Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that such account and all funds deposited therein are held for the exclusive benefit of the Noteholders, over which the Indenture Trustee shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal, and in which neither the Issuer nor any other Person shall have any legal or beneficial interest.
(bd)In the event that a Hedge Provider fails to perform any of its obligations under the applicable Hedge Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligation to make any payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties thereunder, or in the event that such Hedge Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 2.20(e), the Indenture Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of such failure, breach or event, notify the Issuer and send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of and at the direction the Issuer, required to enforce the rights of the Issuer under such Hedge Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under such Hedge Agreement (as defined in such Hedge Agreement) as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy of such Hedge Provider, upon receipt of notice from any Noteholder, the Agent, the Issuer, the Depositor or the Seller of such insolvency or bankruptcy, the Indenture Trustee shall terminate





such Hedge Agreement.
(be)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that a Hedge Agreement is terminated due to an “Event of Default” or “Termination Event” (each as defined in such Hedge Agreement), any and all amounts paid by the applicable Hedge Provider to the Issuer representing termination payments under such Hedge Agreement shall be remitted to the Hedge Account and shall be used by the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of and the direction of the Issuer (for the benefit of the Noteholders), to enter into one or more replacement Hedge Agreements with a related Hedge Provider that at least meets the requirements for a replacement Hedge Provider as set forth under the applicable Hedge Agreement and Section 2.20(b) hereunder, and subject to the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholders. To the extent that such termination payments owed by the related Hedge Provider under such terminated Hedge Agreement, if any, exceed the costs of entering into the replacement Hedge Agreements, such excess amounts shall be become part of Available Funds to be distributed in accordance with Section 2.10(c) on the immediately following Payment Date.
Any amounts received from a replacement Hedge Provider in consideration for entering into a replacement Hedge Agreement for a terminated Hedge Agreement shall be remitted by the Indenture Trustee directly to such terminated Hedge Provider; provided, however, that any such remittance to such terminated Hedge Provider shall not exceed the amounts, if any, owed to such Hedge Provider under such terminated Hedge Agreement.  To the extent not fully paid from amounts received from a replacement Hedge Provider, any termination payment owed by the Issuer to a terminated Hedge Provider pursuant to a terminated  Hedge Agreement shall be payable to such Hedge Provider on each following Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.10(c). To the extent that any amounts received from a replacement Hedge Provider in consideration for entering into a replacement Hedge Agreement exceed any required termination payments (or if there are no termination payments), such amounts in excess of the required termination payments shall become part of Available Funds to be distributed in accordance with Section 2.10(c) on the immediately following Payment Date. 
(bf)Quoted terms and defined terms used in this Section 2.20 but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the applicable Hedge Agreements.

(ii)all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and counsel, in each case incurred in connection with such Event of Default; and
(ca)all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 4.12.

(i)to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective attorneys, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of the Indenture Trustee) and of the Noteholders allowed in such proceedings;

(cf)In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.

(5)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders; and
(6)    an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself or themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such





Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Noteholders. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Noteholders may exercise their rights under this Section 4.06 independently.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 4.10.    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

(1)    in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, which waiver shall require the waiver by Noteholders holding 100% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes affected;
(2)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected, which waiver shall require the waiver by each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected;
(3)    depriving the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of a lien or the benefit of a lien, as the case may be, upon any part of the Trust Estate, which waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be; or
(4)    depriving the Indenture Trustee of any fee, reimbursement for any expense incurred, or any indemnification to which the Indenture Trustee is entitled, which waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such acceleration and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.10(c).
Section 4.13    Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses based on time expended, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Issuer, or to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate at least 25% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of Outstanding Notes or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the Stated Maturity of such Note.
Section 4.14.    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the exercise of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.15.    Sale of Trust Estate.
(cn)The power to effect any public or private sale of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to





Section 4.04 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until either the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any such sale but such waiver does not apply to any amounts to which the Indenture Trustee is otherwise entitled under Section 5.04 of this Indenture.
(co)The Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless:
(i)the Agent, with the consent and on behalf of 100% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes consents to, or directs the Indenture Trustee to make, such sale; or
(ii)the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the entire amount which would be payable to the Holders of the Notes, in full payment thereof, on any date following the date of such sale, together with all other amounts due under this Indenture.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15 shall not preclude or limit the ability of the Indenture Trustee to purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate at any sale, public or private, and the purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at any sale shall not be deemed a sale or disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 4.15(b).

The Issuer is hereby authorized and obligated to make, at the expense of the Issuer, all required filings and refilings of which the Issuer becomes aware, necessary to preserve the liens created by this Indenture to the extent not done by the Issuer as provided herein. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action to exercise or enforce the trusts hereby created which, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Indenture Trustee, unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an agreement satisfactory to it in its sole reasonable discretion to indemnify it against such liability and expense.

(v)The Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligations to see to the payment or discharge of any liens (other than the liens hereof) upon the Receivables, or to see to the application of any payment of the principal of or interest on any note secured thereby or to the delivery or transfer to any Person of any property released from any such lien, or to give notice to or make demand upon any mortgagor, mortgagee, trustor, beneficiary or other Person for the delivery or transfer of any such property. The Indenture Trustee (and any successor trustee or co-trustee in its individual capacity) nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens or encumbrances on the Receivables arising as a result of the Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be) acting improperly in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be).

If the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Agent and the Issuer to the retention of any such separate trustee or co-trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any fees or expenses of any such separate trustee or co-trustee. If the Indenture Trustee shall request the Issuer to do so, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution of such instrument, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without making such request. A separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 5.13 need not meet the eligibility requirements of Section 5.05.
(dw)Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon such separate or co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate or co-trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the appointing instrument, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed any nonresident trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee;
(ii)all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, in respect of the custody of all cash deposited hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; and
(iii)the Indenture Trustee may at any time by written instrument accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to make effective such resignation or removal, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to accept such resignation or to make such removal without making such request. A successor to a separate trustee or co-trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner otherwise provided herein.
(dx)Such separate trustee or co-trustee, upon acceptance of such trust, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in such instrument, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as may be necessary to provide for (i) the appropriate interest in the Trust Estate to be vested in such separate trustee or co-trustee, (ii) the execution and delivery of any transfer documentation or note powers that may be necessary to give effect to transfer of the Receivables to the co-trustee. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, by written instrument, constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney in fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion authorized or permitted by it, for and on behalf of it and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be dissolved, become incapable of acting, resign, be removed or die, all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee, until the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary as provided in this Indenture.
(dy)Any notice, request or other writing, by or on behalf of any Noteholder, delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to all separate trustees and co-trustees.
(dz)Although co-trustees may be jointly liable, no co-trustee or separate trustee shall be severally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any other such trustee hereunder.

On or before the date of issuance of any such Notes, the Issuer and the Agent shall execute and deliver any required amendment or supplement which shall incorporate the principal terms with respect to such Notes. The Indenture Trustee (subject to Section 8.05(f)) shall execute the amendment or supplement without the consent of any Noteholders. The Issuer shall execute such Notes and such Notes shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication and delivery. Any Notes to be issued must rank pari passu with or subordinate to any or all previously issued Notes.

(iii)Unless waived by the Agent in writing, satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

For Term Notes where a “will be debt” tax opinion is not issued, such Term Notes will be subject to transfer restrictions as provided in the related amendment or supplement generally to the effect that such Term Notes could only be held by or transferred to a Person if, among





other things, the Person (i) represents to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that such Person is a U.S. Person (as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), (ii) represents to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that either (1) such beneficial owner is not a flow-through entity or (2) less than 50% of the value of each beneficial owner in such flow through entity is attributable to the flow-through entity's interest in such Term Notes or Trust Certificate and no purpose of the use of the flow-through entity is to enable compliance with the 95-person limit and (iii) covenants to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that such beneficial owner (1) will not and will not allow such Term Notes to be used as collateral for the issuance of any securities that would cause the Issuer to become taxable as a corporation, (2) will not take any action that would cause representations (i) and (ii) to cease to be true, and (3) will not take and will not allow any other action that could cause the Issuer to become taxable as a corporation, each for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and
(vi)Receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a tax opinion to the effect that the issuance of such Notes will not (A) adversely affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment as debt of Notes that (i) are issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and (ii) received a Tax Opinion upon issuance or deemed issuance that they will be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (B) cause the Issuer to be subject to tax on its net income as (i) an association taxable as a corporation, (ii) a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or (iii) a taxable mortgage pool taxable as a corporation, each for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(eg)For purposes of this Section 8.05, any amendment and/or supplemental indenture executed in accordance with the issuance of any Notes shall not be considered an amendment or supplemental indenture for the purposes of this Article VIII.  Accordingly, notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, any amendment and/or supplemental indenture executed in accordance with the issuance of any Notes may amend, modify or supplement this Indenture and any other Transaction Document in any manner, in each case without the consent of the Noteholders; provided, however, that no such amendment or indenture supplement may, without the consent of (A) each Noteholder holding any Notes affected thereby and (B) solely with respect clauses (ii), (v), (vi) and (vii) below:

(ii)amend or modify Section 2.10(c) (other than with respect to the inclusion of such new Notes issued pursuant to this Section 8.05);
(iii)change the Percentage Interest, the consent of whose Holders is required in order to perform any action pursuant to the terms and provisions of any Transaction Document; 
(iv)change any obligation of the Issuer to maintain an office or agency in the places and for the purposes set forth in the Transaction Documents;
(v)except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, deprive any Secured Party of the benefit of a valid first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral;
(vi)except as otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, release from the Lien set forth in the Transaction Documents all or any portion of the Collateral; or
(vii)modify this Section 8.05.
(eh)Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, hereby consents to the issuance of Notes in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 8.05.
(ei)Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, hereby agrees that, for purposes of the terms and provisions of this Section 8.05, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the Noteholders and that the Agent shall





have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder with respect to its approval, or failure to approve, of the issuance any series of Notes pursuant to this Section 8.05.

The Issuer may reacquire Notes, in its discretion, by open market purchases in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Section 9.11.    Indemnification.
(fr)Without limiting any other rights that an Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Issuer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party (as defined below) from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (as defined below), excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking to indemnify the Indemnified Parties may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Issuer nevertheless shall pay such amounts as may be permitted under applicable law to satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.
Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Issuer shall pay in accordance with Section 2.10(c) to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(i)
a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Issuer under or in connection with this Indenture or any other Transaction Document (without duplication of any amount paid by the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement); or
(ii)
the failure by the Issuer to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document; or
(iii)
any information prepared by and furnished or to be furnished by any of the Issuer or the Seller or any of their Affiliates pursuant to or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, such written information as may have been and may be furnished in connection with any due diligence investigation with respect to the business, operations, financial condition of the Issuer, the Seller, any of their Affiliates or with respect to the Receivables, to the extent such information contains any untrue statement of material fact.
(fs)Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.11 shall be paid to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following demand therefor; provided that, prior to an Event of Default, amounts payable under this Section 9.11 shall only be payable on Payment Dates pursuant to Section 2.10(c). “Indemnified Party” means any of the Indenture Trustee (in all its capacities), each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Owner Trustee, the Agent, the Noteholders and any of their respective officers, employees, directors, attorneys, consultants, agents, representatives, Affiliates and successors or assigns. “Indemnified Amounts” means any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and related reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party, to the extent such Indemnified Amounts are caused by the occurrence of an event described in Section 9.11(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, with respect to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.
(ft)Promptly after an Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or other first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be claimed against the Issuer under this Section 9.11, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Issuer in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, but failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that the Issuer is prejudiced by such





failure so to notify the Issuer. The Issuer will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, unless the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Issuer, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Issuer and such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Secured Parties and one firm of attorneys for the Indenture Trustee. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Issuer in the defense of any such action or claim. The Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.

The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 2.10, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Noteholder to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Noteholders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Noteholders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Indenture or of any of the other Transaction Document the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the other Transaction Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Majority Noteholders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Noteholder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Indenture, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Noteholders.





Section 10.04.    Reliance.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
Section 10.05.    Indemnification.
To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Issuer, the Noteholders will reimburse and indemnify the Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, in proportion to each Noteholder's Percentage Interest, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no Noteholder shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such resulted from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Noteholders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of this Indenture.
Section 10.06        Agent Individually.
With respect to its Percentage Interest under the Note Purchase Agreement, the advances made by it and the Variable Funding Notes issued to or held by it or any of its Affiliates, the Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Noteholder or holder of a Note. The terms “Controlling Class,” “Noteholders,” “Majority Noteholders,” “Controlling Class Majority Noteholders,” “Required Noteholders,” “Controlling Class Required Noteholders,” or Variable Funding Noteholders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Noteholder or one of the Majority Noteholders. The term “Agent” shall mean the Agent solely in its individual capacity as the Agent hereunder. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Issuer as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the Noteholders.
Section 10.07.    Successor Agent.
(fu)The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to the Issuer and each Noteholder. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.
(fv)Upon any such notice of resignation, the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders shall appoint a successor Agent who, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer; provided, however, if the successor proposed by the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders is not an Affiliate of the Agent and the Variable Funding Note Principal Balance is greater than zero, the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Term Note Principal Balance shall be required with respect to such appointment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents. After the Agent's resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit





as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.
(fw)If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who, if an Event of Default is not continuing, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Majority Noteholders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
Section 10.08.    Collateral Matters.
(fx)The Agent may from time to time, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which the Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Issuer of the Notes and other Issuer Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.05. The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Collateral and repayable pursuant to Section 2.10(c) on the Payment Date immediately succeeding the date on which such Agent Advances were made. The Agent Advances shall not constitute advances on the Notes but shall otherwise constitute Issuer Obligations hereunder. The Agent shall notify each Noteholder and the Issuer in writing of each Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Variable Funding Noteholder agrees that it shall make available to the Agent, upon the Agent's demand, in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Noteholder's Percentage Interest of such Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Agent by such Noteholder, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Noteholder, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
(fy)The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Noteholders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Issuer or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section 10.08 or in any of the other Transaction Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the Noteholders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.01.    Execution Counterparts.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.02.    Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.
Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with.
Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:





(i)a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;
(ii)a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;
(iii)a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and
(iv)a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Section 11.03.    Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that any Person shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of such Person's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of such Person to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article V.
Section 11.04.    Acts of Noteholders.
(fz)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 5.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. With respect to authorization to be given or taken by





Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized to follow the written directions or the vote of the Majority Noteholders, unless any greater or lesser percentage is required by the terms hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.
(ga)The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.
(gb)The Term Note Principal Balance or Variable Funding Note Principal Balance, as applicable, and serial numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.
(gc)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, declaration, waiver or other act of any Noteholder shall bind every future Noteholder of the same Note and the Noteholder of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
Section 11.05.        Computation of Percentage of Noteholders.
Whenever this Indenture states that any action may be taken by a specified percentage of the Noteholders, such statement shall mean that such action may be taken by the Noteholders of such specified percentage of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes.
Section 11.06.        Notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and Certain Other Persons.
Any communication provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by courier or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if transmitted by telecopier and confirmed in a writing delivered or mailed as aforesaid, to: (i) in the case of the Issuer, Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-R, c/o Wilmington Trust, National Association, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890 Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, telecopy number: (302) 636-4140, telephone number: (302) 651-1000 and (ii) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, the Corporate Trust Office, or as to each such Person, such other address or facsimile number as may hereafter be furnished by such Person to the parties hereto in writing.
Section 11.07.        Notices to Noteholders; Notification Requirements and Waiver.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered by courier or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid; to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is delivered or mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular courier and mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Section 11.08.        Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and permitted





assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 11.09.        Separability Clause.
In case any provision of this Indenture or of the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall, to the extent permitted by law, not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.10        Governing Law.
(gd)THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
(ge)Any action or proceeding against any of the parties hereto relating in any way to this Indenture or any Note or the Trust Estate may be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York sitting in the borough of Manhattan or of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Issuer irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of each such court in respect of any such action or proceeding. The Issuer hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to remove any such action or proceeding by reason of improper venue or inconvenient forum.
Section 11.11        Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 11.12        Benefits of Indenture.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders and any other party secured hereunder (including the Secured Parties, each of which is a third-party beneficiary of this Indenture) or named as a beneficiary of any provision hereof, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
Section 11.13    Non-Recourse Obligation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.
No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer on the Notes or under this Indenture (other than with respect to Permitted Investments as to which such Person is the issuer) or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) any owner of an interest in the Issuer or (ii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or Control Person of the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity, the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee does not have any such obligations in its individual capacity). It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.13 shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral, (ii) limit the obligations or liabilities of any Affiliate of the Issuer under any Transaction Document to which such Affiliate is a party or by which it may be bound or (iii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture, and the same shall continue until paid or discharged. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.13 shall not limit the right of any person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any action or suit or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such person or entity.





Section 11.14        Inspection.
The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Receivables with the Issuer's officers, employees, and independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested and at the Issuer's expense; provided, however, that (i) to the extent the Indenture Trustee exercises its rights under this Section 11.14 more than twice in any given calendar year, any expense incurred in connection with the exercise of such rights shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator and (ii) any expense incurred in connection with the exercise of such rights in excess of $20,000 per calendar year shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator; provided, further, the limitations set forth in this Section 11.14 shall be in addition to and in no way affect the terms and provisions of the Verification Agent Letter or any other Transaction Document; provided, further, that, no such limitations shall apply after the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Early Amortization Event. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.
Section 11.15.    Method of Payment.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), all amounts payable or to be remitted pursuant to this Indenture shall be paid or remitted or caused to be paid or remitted in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account specified in writing by the recipient thereof.

SERVICER ADVANCE RECEIVABLES BACKED NOTES, SERIES 2012-R
Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-R, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ____________________________, or registered assigns (the “Noteholder”), the principal sum of ___________________________ ($____) or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding hereunder and to pay interest on such principal sum or such part thereof as shall remain unpaid from time to time, at the rate and at the times provided in the Indenture.
Principal of this Note is payable on each Payment Date or such other date in an a amount as set forth in the Indenture. The outstanding Note Principal Balance of this Note bears interest at the applicable interest rate as set forth in the Indenture. On each Payment Date, amounts in respect of interest on this Note will be paid in an amount as set forth in the Indenture.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Indenture (as may be amended and restated from time to time, the “Indenture”), dated as of June 26, 2012, between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”).
By its acceptance of this Note, each Noteholder covenants and agrees, until the earlier of (a) the termination of the Funding Period and (b) the Maturity Date, on each Funding Date to advance amounts in respect of Additional Note Balance hereunder to the Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement.

4.    The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee did not include any of the securities referred to in this paragraph.
5.    For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market. Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction. However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority‑owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
6.    ____     ____        Will the Transferee be purchasing the Notes
Yes    No        only for the Transferee's own account?
If the answer to the foregoing question is “no,” then in each case where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule l44A and a “qualified purchaser” under Section 2(a)(51) and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the “qualified institutional buyer” and “qualified purchaser” status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A and such third party has represented that it is a “qualified purchaser” under Section 2(a)(51) and the rules and regulations thereunder.
8.    The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Notes will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties any updated annual financial statements that become available on or before the date of such purchase, promptly after they become available.

Variable Funding Notes shall be issued in the form of certificated notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and shall be registered in the name of the beneficial owner or nominee thereof, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided. Term Notes shall be issued in the form of Global Term Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-II-1, which shall be deposited with the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Notes will be issuable only in denominations of not less than $100,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(b)The Notes to be issued under this Indenture may be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication and thereupon the same shall be authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Request, upon compliance with the terms and provisions of this Indenture and the following: (i) satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in Section 4.01 of the Note Purchase Agreement as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate by the Issuer; (ii) satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate by the Issuer; and (iii) with respect to the issuance of the Term Notes, receipt by the Agent of a favorable opinion dated as of the date of issuance of the Term Notes and satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent and the Indenture Trustee, setting forth that the statements made in any applicable term sheet or offering materials related to ERISA considerations, to the extent those statements constitute matters of United States federal or state of New York law or legal conclusions with respect thereto are correct in all material respects with respect to those consequences or matters that are discussed therein. 
(c)This Section 2.01(c) shall apply only to Global Term Notes deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.  The Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall, in accordance with Article II of this Indenture, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Term Notes that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Term Note or Global Term Notes or the nominee of such Depository and (ii) shall be delivered by the Indenture Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's

39


instructions held by the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for the Depository.  Agent Members shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Term Note held on their behalf by the Depository or under the Global Term Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar as the absolute owner of such Global Term Note for all purposes whatsoever (except to the extent otherwise provided herein). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of the Term Notes.  Except as provided in this Section 2.01, owners of beneficial interests in Global Term Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Certificated Term Notes.
(d)A Global Term Note deposited with the Depository pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof only if such transfer complies with Section 2.05 and the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Term Note or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days of such notice.  Any Global Term Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Indenture Trustee's Corporate Trust Office, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Term Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Term Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01, the registered Holder of a Global Term Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Term Notes.  Upon receipt of notice from the Depository of the occurrence of the event specified in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(d), the Issuer shall use its best efforts to make arrangements with the Depository for the exchange of interests in the Global Term Notes for individual Certificated Term Notes, and cause the requested individual Certificated Term Notes to be executed and delivered to the Note Registrar in sufficient quantities and authenticated by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for delivery to Noteholders.  Persons exchanging interests in a Global Term Note for individual Certificated Term Notes will be required to provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, through the Depository, (i) written instructions and other information required by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to complete, execute and deliver such individual Certificated Term Notes and (ii) such certification as to QIB status pursuant to Rule 144A and Qualified Purchaser status under Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Act as the Issuer shall require. In all cases, individual Certificated Term Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Term Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by the Depository.

Section 2.02. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
a.The Notes shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Issuer by any Authorized Officer of the Issuer. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the authorized officers of the Issuer shall be entitled to all benefits under this Indenture, subject to the following sentence, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, or be valid for any purpose, however, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.

40


b.Upon the written request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall and, at the election of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more agents (each an “Authenticating Agent”) with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with the transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.05 and 2.06, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to authenticate the Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee.” The Indenture Trustee shall be the initial Authenticating Agent.
Any corporation, bank, trust company or association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, bank, trust company or association resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation, bank, trust company or association succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation, bank, trust company or association.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Indenture Trustee may, or at the direction of the Issuer shall, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer and give notice of such appointment to the Noteholders. Upon the resignation or termination of the Authenticating Agent and prior to the appointment of a successor, the Indenture Trustee shall act as Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to all limitations on liability, rights of reimbursement and indemnities that the Indenture Trustee is entitled to hereunder as if it were the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.03 Acknowledgment of Receipt of the Receivables.
a.Upon receipt by it of the Receivable Files with respect to the Initial Receivables and all other assets to be delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture and included in the Trust Estate on the Initial Funding Date, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Noteholders and acknowledge such receipt. In each case, such receipt shall be in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim. The Indenture Trustee declares that it will hold such documents and the other documents received by it that constitute portions of the Receivables Files received after the Initial Funding Date, and that it will hold all assets included in the Trust Estate, on behalf of all present and future Secured Parties.
b.The Indenture Trustee shall not be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Receivables delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form if recordation is required, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
The Indenture Trustee shall not assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Receivables or any other asset constituting the Trust Estate (except as expressly provided herein) or knowingly permit the Receivables or any other asset constituting the Trust Estate to be subjected to any lien (other than Permitted Liens), claim or encumbrance arising by, through or under the Indenture Trustee or any Person claiming by, through or under the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.04. The Notes Generally.
a.The aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to the Variable Funding Note Maximum Balance plus the Term Note Initial

41


Principal Balance, as set forth in this Indenture, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.06 below.
b.Each Note of a Class shall rank pari passu with each other Note of such Class and be equally and ratably secured by the Trust Estate. All Notes shall be substantially identical except as otherwise to denominations and as expressly permitted in this Indenture.
c.This Indenture shall evidence a continuing lien on and security interest in the Trust Estate to secure the full payment of the principal, interest and other amounts on all the Notes, which (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) shall in all respects be equally and ratably secured hereby without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication and delivery of such Notes.

Section 2.05. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
a.At all times during the term of this Indenture, there shall be maintained at the office of a registrar appointed by the Issuer (the “Note Registrar”) a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Note Registrar may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in accordance with the terms hereof) as Note Registrar for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Issuer, any other bank or trust company to act as Note Registrar under such conditions as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder as Note Registrar by reason of such appointment. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor indenture trustee shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Note Registrar. The Issuer and the Noteholders shall have the right to inspect the Note Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Note Registrar as to the information set forth in the Note Register.
b.No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or beneficial ownership interest therein shall be made unless the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall have received (i) (x) other than with respect to a participation or a transfer, sale, pledge, or other disposition of a portion of a Note (as set forth in clause (B)(1) of the definition of “Permitted Transferee”), the prior written consent of the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (y) a certificate from the transferor that such Noteholder is transferring, selling, pledging or otherwise disposing of either (1) a participating interest in all or a portion of any Note or (2) such Note to a Person without a transfer or sale of its Commitment under the Note Purchase Agreement and any voting rights with respect to such Note under the Transaction Documents and (ii) a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto. If a transfer of any Note or any beneficial ownership interest therein (other than a participation or a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a portion of a Note (without the related Commitment and voting rights of a Noteholder)) is made without the receipt by the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee of the prior written consent of the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or certificate of the transferor and a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it and the Indenture Trustee receive (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) such items. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Notes under the 1933 Act or any other securities law.
c.By acquiring a Note, each purchaser of a Variable Funding Note or a Certificated Term Note shall and, each purchaser of a Global Term Note will be deemed to, represent, warrant and covenant that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note with the assets of an employee benefit plan or plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”) or any other plan subject to a federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a nonexempt violation of any federal,

42


state, local, non-U.S. or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Furthermore, by acquiring a Note, the Note Purchasers will be deemed to give the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer a binding instruction to enter into the Hedge Agreements and the transactions thereunder, and each transferee will, by the acquisition of such Note, be deemed to have given the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer a binding instruction to enter into transactions pursuant to the Hedge Agreements.
d.If a Person is acquiring any Note or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to certify that it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.05.
e.Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.05, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of a like aggregate Note Principal Balance.
f.At the option of any Noteholder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of authorized denominations of a like aggregate Note Principal Balance, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
g.Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
h.No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Notes or beneficial ownership interest therein, but the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes or beneficial ownership interests therein.
i.All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures.
j.The Note Registrar shall provide to each of the Issuer and any Noteholder, upon reasonable written request and at the expense of the requesting party, an updated copy of the Note Register.
k.Subject to Section 9.07(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall not permit a transfer of any Variable Funding Note unless such transfer, is consented to in writing by the Depositor (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, this Section 2.05(k) does not apply to the transfer of a participation interest of a Variable Funding Note or the transfer of all or a portion of a Variable Funding Note that does not include the Commitment of the related Note Purchasers under the Note Purchase Agreement and the voting rights of a Noteholder thereunder and any voting rights with respect to such Note under the Transaction Documents.

Section 2.06.Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor, a new Note of the same principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction (including mutilation tantamount to destruction), loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to hold

43


each of them, and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same tenor and denomination registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.06, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Noteholder of an amount sufficient to pay or discharge any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Authenticating Agent, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee) in connection therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 in lieu of any destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by any Person, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 2.07. Noteholder Lists.
The Note Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Variable Funding Noteholders and Term Noteholders, which list, upon request, will be made available to the Indenture Trustee insofar as the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Note Registrar. Upon written request of any Noteholder at the Noteholder's expense made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Note Registrar shall promptly furnish such Noteholder with a list of the other Variable Funding Noteholders and Term Noteholders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request. Every Noteholder, by receiving such access, agrees with the Note Registrar that the Note Registrar will not be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Noteholder regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 2.08. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agents of any of them may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal, interest and other amounts in respect of such Note and for all other purposes, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agents of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided, however, that the Depository, or its nominee, shall be deemed the owner of the Global Term Notes, and owners of beneficial interests in Global Term Notes will not be considered the owners of any Notes for the purpose of receiving notices.
Section 2.09. Accounts.
a.On or prior to the date hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall establish in its name, as Indenture Trustee, the Reimbursement Account, the Note Payment Account, the Reserve Account and the Funding Account. The Indenture Trustee shall establish a Hedge Account and Posted Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.20. Except as provided in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal with respect to the Accounts.

Upon the Issuer's payment of the Redemption Amount with respect to a Total Redemption, the Commitment of the Note Purchasers under Section 2.01 of the Note Purchase Agreement to purchase Additional Note Balances shall terminate.
b.On any Payment Date following an Early Amortization Event (including clauses (a) and (n) under the definition thereof) on which the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Notes is less than or equal to 10% of the sum of (i) the aggregate of the Term Note Initial Principal Balance for the Term Notes, (ii) the balance of the Variable Funding Note as of the Closing Date and (iii) the aggregate of all Additional Note Balances purchased on or prior to such date pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (the sum of (ii) and (iii) not to be greater than the Variable Funding Note Maximum Balance), the Agent may effect a put of the entire Outstanding Note Principal Balance of the Notes, as of the applicable Payment Date, to the Issuer by exercise of the Clean-up Call Option. The Agent shall give written notice (a “Clean-up Call Notice”) of its intent to put the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and each Swap Provider at least 30 days prior to the related Payment Date.

The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall give written notice to the Agent, each Swap Provider and the Noteholders of its intent to paydown the Variable Funding Note Principal Balances at least two (2) Business Days prior to the chosen Paydown Date. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall remit the paydown amount to the Note Payment Account, and the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw such amounts and allocate such amounts to reduce the Variable Funding Note Principal Balance of the Variable Funding Notes on a pro rata basis after remitting any termination payments due to the Hedge Provider under the applicable Swap Agreement; provided, that, if the Paydown Date is a Payment Date, such paydown amount will be remitted in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(vii)(B) after all prior payments in accordance with Section 2.10(c) have been made and that the Note Principal Balance of the Notes used to calculate such payments pursuant to Section 2.10(c) shall be the Note Principal

52


Balance prior to distribution of the paydown amount. Notwithstanding any optional paydown as provided in this Section 2.16(d), the Commitment of the Holders of the Variable Funding Notes shall not be reduced.

The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Accounts and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Indenture Trustee has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing.

Section 2.18. Tax Treatment of the Notes.
The Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal, state or local income tax, franchise tax and any other income tax purposes, the Notes be treated as debt. Each prospective purchaser and any subsequent transferee of a Note or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat such Note in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law in a proceeding of final determination.

If the Seller exercises its purchase option pursuant to this Section 2.19, upon deposit of an amount equal to the Receivables Balance of such purchased Receivables into the Note Payment Account and any termination payments required to be made pursuant to any Swap Agreements, the Indenture Trustee shall release the lien of this Indenture with respect to such purchased Receivables.  If the Seller exercises this option, the option shall expire with respect to the Aggregate Receivables existing on such Option Purchase Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall have the option to purchase up to three percent (3%) of any Additional Receivables sold to the Issuer following such Option Purchase Date.

a.If the Issuer fails to pay all amounts due upon an acceleration of the Notes under Section 4.02 forthwith upon demand and such declaration and its consequences shall not have been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon such Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Trust Estate, wherever situated, or may institute and prosecute such non-judicial proceedings in lieu of judicial proceedings as are then permitted by applicable law.
b.If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
c.In case (x) there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, (y) a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or shall have taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such Person or (z) there shall be pending a comparable judicial proceeding brought by creditors of the Issuer or affecting the property of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of or interest on any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:
i.to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective attorneys, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of the Indenture Trustee) and of the Noteholders allowed in such proceedings;

63


Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective attorneys, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of the Indenture Trustee or predecessor Indenture Trustee.
d.Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any related Noteholder or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.
e.In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.
f.In the event that the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default hereunder institutes proceedings to foreclose on the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly give a notice to that effect to each Noteholder and each Hedge Provider.
g.All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered, subject to the payment priorities of Section 2.10.

Section 4.04. Remedies.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, upon five (5) days' prior notice to each other Secured Party, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following:
a.institute, or cause to be instituted, Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on or under this Indenture with respect to the Notes, whether by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Trust Estate moneys adjudged due;
b.sell, or cause to be sold, the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall give the Issuer written notice of any private sale called by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) at least ten (10) days prior to the date fixed for such private sale;
c.institute, or cause to be instituted, Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure with respect to the Trust Estate;

64


Section 4.05. Application of Money Collected.
Any money collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article IV shall be deposited in the Note Payment Account and, on each Payment Date, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of the principal of or interest on the Notes, upon presentation and surrender of the Notes if fully paid.
Section 4.06 Limitation on Suits.
Except as provided in Section 4.07, no Noteholder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1)    such Noteholder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(2)     the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders shall have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(3)    such Noteholder or Noteholders have offered to the Indenture Trustee adequate indemnity or security satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4)    the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security has failed to institute any such proceeding;
(5)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders; and
(6)    an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself or themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Noteholders. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Noteholders may exercise their rights under this Section 4.06 independently.
Section 4.07. Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, following the Stated Maturity, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payments of interest, principal and other amounts then due on such Note (subject to Section 2.10) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment (subject to Section 4.06), and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder, unless a non-payment has been cured pursuant to Section 4.02. The Issuer shall, however, be subject to only one consolidated lawsuit by the Noteholders, or by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, for any one cause of action arising under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 4.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued, waived, rescinded or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the

65


Noteholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 4.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 4.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 4.11 Control by Noteholders.
The Majority Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders will not be required to provide, and the Indenture Trustee will not be required to obtain, a Tax Opinion in the case of a direction by the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default, to realize upon the Trust Estate by liquidating the Collateral or otherwise.
Section 4.12. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Prior to acceleration or the Stated Maturity of the Notes, the Controlling Class Required Noteholders may, on behalf of the Noteholders of all the Notes, waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default:
(1)    in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, which waiver shall require the waiver by Noteholders holding 100% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes affected;
(2)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected, which waiver shall require the waiver by each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected;
(3)    depriving the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of a lien or the benefit of a lien, as the case may be, upon any part of the Trust Estate, which waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be; or
(4)    depriving the Indenture Trustee of any fee, reimbursement for any expense incurred, or any indemnification to which the Indenture Trustee is entitled, which waiver shall require the consent of the

66


Indenture Trustee.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that no such waiver shall restore any Hedge Agreement which has terminated pursuant to its terms. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such acceleration and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.10(c).
Section 4.13. Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses based on time expended, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Issuer, or to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate at least 25% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of Outstanding Notes or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the Stated Maturity of such Note.
Section 4.14.
Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee and any Swap Provider, but will suffer and permit the exercise of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.15.
Sale of Trust Estate.
a.The power to effect any public or private sale of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until either the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any such sale but such waiver does not apply to any amounts to which the Indenture Trustee is otherwise entitled under Section 5.04 of this Indenture.
b.The Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, unless:
i.the Agent, with the consent and on behalf of 100% in aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes consents to, or directs the Indenture Trustee to make, such sale; or
ii.the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the entire amount which would be payable to the Holders of the Notes, in full payment thereof, and all amounts payable including termination payments, to all Hedge Providers in accordance with Section 4.05, on any date following the date of such sale, together with all other amounts due under this Indenture.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15 shall not preclude or limit the ability of the

67


Indenture Trustee to purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate at any sale, public or private, and the purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at any sale shall not be deemed a sale or disposition thereof for purposes of this Section 4.15(b).
c.Unless the Holders of all Outstanding Notes have otherwise consented or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount described in paragraph (ii) of subsection (b) of this Section 4.15 has not been established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee shall in accordance with paragraph (ii) of subsection (d) of this Section 4.15 bid an amount at least $1.00 more than the highest other bid in order to preserve the Trust Estate.
d.In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate:
i.any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon in accordance with Section 2.10(c), shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
ii.the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for sale in connection with any sale thereof, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross sale price against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the Holders of the Notes as a result of such sale in accordance with Section 4.05 on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such sale and (B) the expenses of the sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such sale or in order for the net sale price to be credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by the Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;
iii.the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver, without recourse, an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof;
iv.the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey the Issuer's interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale; and
v.no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.

Section 4.16. Action on Notes.
The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate.

68


ARTICLE V

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 5.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
The Issuer hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Indenture Trustee and any Responsible Officer thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in place and stead of the Issuer and in the name of the Issuer or in its own name or in the name of a nominee, from time to time in the Indenture Trustee's discretion, for the purpose of enforcing the rights, powers and remedies of the Issuer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Indenture and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, all as set forth in this Indenture.
a.The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of this Indenture shall be as follows:
i.The Indenture Trustee shall have the full power and authority to do all things not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture that it may deem advisable in order to enforce the provisions hereof or to take any action with respect to a default or an Event of Default hereunder, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect hereto, or to protect the interests of the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable except for its own bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence. The Issuer shall prepare and file or cause to be filed, at the Issuer's expense, a UCC Financing Statement, describing the Issuer as debtor, the Indenture Trustee as secured party and the Trust Estate as the collateral, in all appropriate locations promptly following the initial issuance of the Notes, and the Issuer shall prepare and file at each such office, continuation statements with respect thereto, in each case within six months prior to each fifth anniversary of the original filing. The Issuer is hereby authorized and obligated to make, at the expense of the Issuer, all required filings and refilings of which the Issuer becomes aware, necessary to preserve the liens created by this Indenture to the extent not done by the Issuer as provided herein. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action to exercise or enforce the trusts hereby created which, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Indenture Trustee, unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an agreement satisfactory to it in its sole reasonable discretion to indemnify it against such liability and expense. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, or in the Receivables Purchase Agreement or in any other instruments to be performed or observed by the Issuer or any party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
ii.Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders, or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provisions of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face in the form required by this Indenture to the extent expressly set forth herein. If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Indenture in a material manner, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Indenture Trustee's reasonable satisfaction, the Indenture Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, consent, certificate, opinion, or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine. In administering the trusts hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder directly or through its attorneys or custodians and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any negligence on the part of any custodian or

69


attorney appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care. The Indenture Trustee may, subject to Section 5.04, consult with counsel, accountants and other professionals to be selected and employed by it, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such Person nor for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
iii.The Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of any recording, filing or registration of any instrument or other document (including any UCC Financing Statements), or any amendments or supplements to any of said instruments or to determine if any such instrument or other document is in a form suitable for recording, filing or registration, and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of the payment of any fees, charges or taxes in connection therewith.
iv.Whenever in performing its duties hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, rely upon (unless other evidence in respect thereof be specifically prescribed herein) an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer, and such Officer's Certificate shall be full warrant to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it on the faith thereof.
v.The Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligations to see to the payment or discharge of any liens (other than the liens hereof) upon the Receivables, or to see to the application of any payment of the principal of or interest on any note secured thereby or to the delivery or transfer to any Person of any property released from any such lien, or to give notice to or make demand upon any mortgagor, mortgagee, trustor, beneficiary or other Person for the delivery or transfer of any such property. The Indenture Trustee (and any successor trustee or co-trustee in its individual capacity) nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens or encumbrances on the Receivables arising as a result of the Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be) acting improperly in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be).
vi.The Indenture Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to any Person for the use or application of any deposited moneys or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released from the lien hereof or thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof or thereof and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability for the acts of other parties that are not in accordance with the provisions hereof.
b.The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Receivables and this Indenture, in addition to those set forth in Section 5.01(a), shall be as follows:
i.except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
ii.the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture, to the extent expressly set forth herein.
c.Subject to Section 4.12 hereof, in case an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture

70


Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
d.No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
i.this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section; (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
ii.the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Majority Noteholders, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; and
iii.the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice or deemed to have notice of, or charged with knowledge of a default, an Event of Default or an Early Amortization Event unless either (i) a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such default, Event of Default or Early Amortization Event or (ii) written notice of such default shall have been given by the Issuer or by any Noteholder to and received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee and in the absence of such notice or actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no default, Event of Default or Early Amortization Event.

Section 5.02. Notice of Defaults.
a.The Indenture Trustee, promptly but not later than two (2) Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any event which, after notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, shall notify the Issuer, the Noteholders, any Swap Provider and the Agent of any such event, unless all such events known to the Indenture Trustee shall have been cured before the giving of such notice or unless the same is rescinded and annulled, or waived by the Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.02 or Section 4.12. For the purpose of this Section 5.02, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
b.The Indenture Trustee also agrees, promptly but no later than two (2) Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of any default or event of default under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, to notify the Issuer, the Noteholders and the Agent of such default or event of default.

Section 5.03. Certain Rights of Indenture Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.01, in connection with this Indenture:
a.the Indenture Trustee may request and rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties as may be required by such party or parties pursuant to the terms of this Indenture;
b.any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order;
c.whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Indenture Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part,

71


rely upon an Officer's Certificate;

For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee has no duty under this Indenture to perform any obligations of the Swap Enforcement Party. If the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Agent and the Issuer to the retention of any such separate trustee or co-trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any fees or expenses of any such separate trustee or co-trustee. If the Indenture Trustee shall request the Issuer to do so, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution of such instrument, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without making such request. A separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 5.13 need not meet the eligibility requirements of Section 5.05.
b.Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, be subject to the following terms and conditions:
i.the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon such separate or co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate or co-trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the appointing instrument, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed any nonresident trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee;
ii.all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, in respect of the custody of all cash deposited hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; and
iii.the Indenture Trustee may at any time by written instrument accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to make effective such resignation or removal, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to accept such resignation or to make such removal without making such request. A successor to a separate trustee or co-trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner otherwise provided herein.
c.Such separate trustee or co-trustee, upon acceptance of such trust, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in such instrument, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as may be necessary to provide for (i) the appropriate interest in the Trust Estate to be vested in such separate trustee or co-trustee, (ii) the execution and delivery of any transfer documentation or note powers that may be necessary to give effect to transfer of the Receivables to the co-trustee. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, by written instrument, constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney in fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion authorized or permitted by it, for and on behalf of it and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be dissolved, become incapable of acting, resign, be removed or die, all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee, until the appointment of a successor to said separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary as provided in this Indenture.
d.Any notice, request or other writing, by or on behalf of any Noteholder, delivered to the

77


Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to all separate trustees and co-trustees.
e.Although co-trustees may be jointly liable, no co-trustee or separate trustee shall be severally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any other such trustee hereunder.

83


a “Funding Imbalance”) and (ii) the Agent having rejected any proposal of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuer to amend or modify the definition of “Maximum Note Balance” pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Indenture subsequent to the determination of a Funding Imbalance; provided, further, that in connection with any such sale and purchase of the outstanding unreimbursed Receivables with respect to a removed Securitization Trust, all Receivables related to such Securitization Trust must be so purchased, and a partial purchase shall not be permitted.  The Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of any such designation or removal and shall be able to remove any Securitization Trust, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth above in this Section 7.03, upon the Indenture Trustee having received certification from the Seller in writing that it has filed all financing statements or amendments to financing statements as necessary.  The Issuer may sell the unreimbursed Receivables with respect to a removed Securitization Trust to the Seller or its designee.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such MSR Transfer Evidence with respect to all Securitization Trusts that are not Subserviced Securitization Trusts. Promptly after the Seller obtains complete MSR Transfer Evidence with respect to a Subserviced Securitization Trust, the Seller, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, shall deliver to the Agent such MSR Transfer Evidence. Subject to the terms of clause (l)(ii) of the definition of Eligible Servicing Contract, on any date on which the Agent receives the MSR Transfer Evidence with respect to a Subserviced Securitization Trust, the related Securitization Trust shall no longer be a “Subserviced Underlying Trust” and the Administrator shall update the Subserviced Securitization Trust Schedule and furnish it to the Agent and the Indenture Trustee, and the most recently furnished schedule shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee as the definitive Subserviced Securitization Trust Schedule.

a.The Issuer shall not consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey or transfer the Trust Estate to any Person without the consent of the Majority Noteholders and unless:
i.the Person (if other than the Issuer) formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger or that acquires by conveyance or transfer the Trust Estate (the “Successor Person”), shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State and shall have expressly assumed, executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the obligation (to the same extent as the Issuer was so obligated) to make payments of principal, interest and other amounts on all of the Notes and pay all amounts owned by the Issuer under this Indenture, and the obligation to

91


perform every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be performed or observed, all as provided herein;

iv.the Successor Person shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Agent and any Swap Providers an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that, with respect to a Successor Person that is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust, such Successor Person shall be duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which such Successor Person is organized; that the Successor Person has sufficient power and authority to assume the obligations set forth in clause (i) above and to execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto for the purpose of assuming such obligation; that the Successor Person has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of an indenture supplemental hereto for the purpose of assuming such obligations; and that such supplemental indenture is a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Successor Person, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject only to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law); and that, immediately following the event which causes the Successor Person to become the Successor Person, (A) the Successor Person has good and marketable title, free and clear of any lien, security interest or charge other than the lien and security interest of this Indenture and any other lien permitted hereby, to the Collateral and (B) the Indenture Trustee continues to have a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral; and

In the event of any such conveyance or transfer of the Trust Estate permitted by this Section 9.09, the Person named as the “Issuer” in the first paragraph of this Indenture, or any successor that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article and that has thereafter effected such a conveyance or transfer, may be dissolved, wound-up and liquidated at any time thereafter, and such Person thereafter shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker on all of the then Outstanding Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture.
c.Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer shall not voluntarily consent to or otherwise acquiesce to any consolidation of the Issuer into the Seller, the Depositor or any of their Affiliates and shall take all legally permissible actions to oppose any such consolidation. Further, each Noteholder acknowledges that it is relying on the separateness of the Issuer from the Seller, the Depositor and its Affiliates as a condition to purchasing the Notes.

Section 9.10. Purchase of Notes.
The Issuer may reacquire Notes, in its discretion, by open market purchases in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Section 9.11. Indemnification.
a.Without limiting any other rights that an Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Issuer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party (as defined below) from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (as defined below), excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to

92


the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking to indemnify the Indemnified Parties may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Issuer nevertheless shall pay such amounts as may be permitted under applicable law to satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.
Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Issuer shall pay in accordance with Section 2.10(c) to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
i.a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Issuer under or in connection with this Indenture or any other Transaction Document (without duplication of any amount paid by the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement); or
ii.the failure by the Issuer to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document; or
iii.any information prepared by and furnished or to be furnished by any of the Issuer or the Seller or any of their Affiliates pursuant to or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, such written information as may have been and may be furnished in connection with any due diligence investigation with respect to the business, operations, financial condition of the Issuer, the Seller, any of their Affiliates or with respect to the Receivables, to the extent such information contains any untrue statement of material fact.
b.Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.11 shall be paid to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following demand therefor; provided that, prior to an Event of Default, amounts payable under this Section 9.11 shall only be payable on Payment Dates pursuant to Section 2.10(c). “Indemnified Party” means any of the Indenture Trustee (in all its capacities), each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Posted Collateral Custodian, the Owner Trustee, the Agent, any Swap Provider, the Noteholders and any of their respective officers, employees, directors, attorneys, consultants, agents, representatives, Affiliates and successors or assigns. “Indemnified Amounts” means any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and related reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party, to the extent such Indemnified Amounts are caused by the occurrence of an event described in Section 9.11(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, with respect to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.
c.Promptly after an Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or other first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be claimed against the Issuer under this Section 9.11, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Issuer in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, but failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that the Issuer is prejudiced by such failure so to notify the Issuer. The Issuer will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, unless the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Issuer, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Issuer and such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Secured Parties and one firm of attorneys for the Indenture Trustee. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Issuer in the defense of any such action or claim. The Issuer

93


shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.


ARTICLE X
AGENT
Section 10.01. Appointment.
Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to perform the duties of the Agent as set forth in this Indenture including: (i) to receive on behalf of each Noteholder any payment of principal or interest on the Notes outstanding hereunder and all other amounts accrued hereunder for the account of the Noteholders and paid to the Agent, and to distribute promptly to each Noteholder its Percentage Interest of all payments so received and (ii) to distribute to each Noteholder copies of all material notices (including any Funding Notice delivered in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement) and agreements received by the Agent and not required to be delivered to each Noteholder pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, provided that the Agent shall not have any liability to the Noteholders for the Agent's inadvertent failure to distribute any such notices or agreements to the Noteholders and (iii) subject to Section 10.03 of this Indenture, to take such action as the Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to administer the Notes and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such other powers delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the power to give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make determinations and calculations) together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes hereof and thereof. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Noteholders, and such instructions of the Majority Noteholders shall be binding upon all Noteholders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, exposes the Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document or applicable law.
Section 10.02. Nature of Duties.
The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture or in the other Transaction Documents. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agent shall not have by reason of this Indenture or any Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Noteholder. Nothing in this Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Noteholder shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Issuer in connection with advancing any Additional Note Balance pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Issuer and the value of the Collateral, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Noteholder with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the advance of the Initial Note Balance hereunder or at any time or times thereafter; provided, that, upon the reasonable request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide to such Noteholder any documents or reports delivered to the Agent by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document. Prior to waiving an Early Amortization Event, the Agent shall obtain the approval of the Required Noteholders.

94


If the Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Noteholders to the taking or refraining from taking any action under this Indenture, the Agent shall send notice thereof to each Noteholder. The Agent shall promptly notify each Noteholder any time that the Required Noteholders have instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
Section 10.03. Rights, Exculpation, Etc.
The Agent and its directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents unless such action or inaction shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent or its directors, officers, agents or employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Agent or counsel to the Issuer), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Noteholder and shall not be responsible to any Noteholder for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Noteholder for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Indenture Trustee's Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Issuer in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Noteholders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 2.10, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Noteholder to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Noteholders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Noteholders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Indenture or of any of the other Transaction Document the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the other Transaction Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Majority Noteholders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Noteholder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Indenture, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Noteholders.
Section 10.04. Reliance.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
Section 10.05. Indemnification.
To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Issuer, the Noteholders will

95


reimburse and indemnify the Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, in proportion to each Noteholder's Percentage Interest, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no Noteholder shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such resulted from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Noteholders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of this Indenture.
Section 10.06. Agent Individually.
With respect to its Percentage Interest under the Note Purchase Agreement, the advances made by it and the Variable Funding Notes issued to or held by it or any of its Affiliates, the Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Noteholder or holder of a Note. The terms “Controlling Class,” “Noteholders,” “Majority Noteholders,” “Controlling Class Majority Noteholders,” “Required Noteholders,” “Controlling Class Required Noteholders,” or Variable Funding Noteholders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Noteholder or one of the Majority Noteholders. The term “Agent” shall mean the Agent solely in its individual capacity as the Agent hereunder. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Issuer as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the Noteholders.
Section 10.07. Successor Agent.
a.The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to the Issuer and each Noteholder. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.
b.Upon any such notice of resignation, the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders shall appoint a successor Agent who, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer; provided, however, if the successor proposed by the Controlling Class Majority Noteholders is not an Affiliate of the Agent and the Variable Funding Note Principal Balance is greater than zero, the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Term Note Principal Balance shall be required with respect to such appointment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents. After the Agent's resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.
c.If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who, if an Event of Default is not continuing, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Majority Noteholders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
Section 10.08. Collateral Matters.
a.The Agent may from time to time, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which the Agent, in its sole discretion,

96


deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Issuer of the Notes and other Issuer Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.05. The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Collateral and repayable pursuant to Section 2.10(c) on the Payment Date immediately succeeding the date on which such Agent Advances were made. The Agent Advances shall not constitute advances on the Notes but shall otherwise constitute Issuer Obligations hereunder. The Agent shall notify each Noteholder and the Issuer in writing of each Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Variable Funding Noteholder agrees that it shall make available to the Agent, upon the Agent's demand, in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Noteholder's Percentage Interest of such Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Agent by such Noteholder, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Noteholder, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at a rate equal to the sum of the Variable Funding Note Floating Rate plus the Variable Funding Note Default Additional Rate.
b.The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Noteholders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Issuer or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section 10.08 or in any of the other Transaction Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the Noteholders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.01 Execution Counterparts.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.02. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.
Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with.
Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

ii.a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

iv.a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or

97

Section 11.03. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that any Person shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of such Person's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of such Person to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article V.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 5.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

b.The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

Section 11.05. Computation of Percentage of Noteholders.
Whenever this Indenture states that any action may be taken by a specified percentage of the Noteholders, such statement shall mean that such action may be taken by the Noteholders of such specified percentage of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of the Outstanding Notes.
Section 11.06. Notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and Certain Other Persons.
Any communication provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by courier or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if transmitted by telecopier and confirmed in a writing delivered or mailed as aforesaid, to: (i) in the case of the Issuer, Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-C, c/o Wilmington Trust, National Association, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890 Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, telecopy number: (302) 636-4140, telephone number: (302) 651-1000 and (ii) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, the Corporate Trust Office, or as to each such Person, such other address or facsimile number as may hereafter be furnished by such Person to the parties hereto in writing.
Section 11.07. Notices to Noteholders; Notification Requirements and Waiver.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, a copy of any such notice shall be given simultaneously to each Hedge Provider, and in the case of any notice sent to Noteholders, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered by courier or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid; to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is delivered or mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular courier and mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Section 11.08. Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 11.09. Separability Clause.
In case any provision of this Indenture or of the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall, to the extent permitted by law, not in

99


any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.10. Governing Law.

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by ____________________ (the “Transferor”) to _____________________________ (the “Transferee”) of the [Variable Funding][Term] Notes having an [Variable Funding][Term] Initial Principal Balance as of [________________] of $______________. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-C as issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as indenture trustee. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Note Registrar, that:
1.    The Transferee is (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and (ii) a “qualified purchaser” (a “Qualified Purchaser”) as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder, and has completed the form of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex 1. The Transferee is acquiring the Note for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer (who is a Qualified Purchaser), and understands that such Note may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person reasonably believed to be a Qualified Institutional Buyer (who is a Qualified Purchaser) that purchases for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer and Qualified Purchaser.
2.    The Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer any Note except in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, which provisions it has carefully reviewed, and that each Note will bear the following legend:
THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH NOTE (A) COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE INDENTURE AND (B) ONLY TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND WHO IS A QUALIFIED PURCHASER UNDER SECTION 2(a)(51) OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE “1940 ACT”) AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS

A-II-2-10


THEREUNDER, (AN “ELIGIBLE PURCHASER”) THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WHO IS A QUALIFIED PURCHASER UNDER SECTION 2(a)(51) OF THE 1940 ACT AND EACH SUCH PERSON WAS NOT FORMED, REFORMED, RECAPITALIZED, OPERATED OR ORGANIZED FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF PURCHASING THE NOTES OR INVESTING IN THE ISSUER, (E) EITHER (X) IS NOT AN ENTITY ORGANIZED PRIOR TO APRIL 30, 1996 THAT IS EXCEPTED FROM THE 1940 ACT PURSUANT TO SECTION 3(c)(1) OR 3(c)(7) THEREOF OR (Y) HAS RECEIVED THE CONSENT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF ITS SECURITIES WITH RESPECT TO ITS TREATMENT AS A QUALIFIED PURCHASER IN THE MANNER REQUIRED BY SECTION 2(a)(51)(C) OF THE 1940 ACT AND THE RULES THEREUNDER. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTERESTS HEREIN WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT THAT IT AGREES TO COMPLY WITH THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN AND IN THE WITHIN MENTIONED INDENTURE (THE “INDENTURE”), AND WILL NOT TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL OR ECONOMIC INTERESTS HEREIN EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE TO AN ELIGIBLE PURCHASER WHO MAKES THE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS REQUIRED THEREBY ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS PURCHASING. ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTERESTS HEREIN THAT IS IN BREACH, AT THE TIME MADE, OF ANY TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE MAY BE VOID AB INITIO. IF AT ANY TIME THE ISSUER DETERMINES IN GOOD FAITH THAT A HOLDER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THIS SECURITY OR BENEFICIAL INTERESTS HEREIN IS IN BREACH, AT THE TIME GIVEN, OF ANY OF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, THE ISSUER MAY IN THEIR DISCRETION CONSIDER THE ACQUISITION BY SUCH HOLDER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THIS SECURITY OR SUCH BENEFICIAL INTERESTS VOID AND OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT, AND SUCH ACQUISITION WILL NOT, AT THE DISCRETION OF ISSUER, OPERATE TO TRANSFER ANY RIGHTS TO THE TRANSFEREE NOTWITHSTANDING ANY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CONTRARY TO THE ISSUER, THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE UNDER THE INDENTURE, OR ANY OTHER INTERMEDIARY. IN ADDITION, THE ISSUER MAY REQUIRE SUCH ACQUIRER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER TO SELL THIS SECURITY OR SUCH BENEFICIAL INTERESTS TO AN ELIGIBLE PURCHASER..
3.    The Transferee represents that either: (a) it is not, and is not purchasing on behalf of, as a fiduciary of, as a trustee of or with assets of an employee benefit plan or plan subject to Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or to any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”), (collectively, a “Plan”) nor a person acting on behalf of any Plan nor a person using the assets of any Plan to effect such transfer, unless it represents and warrants that the acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law because it will satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, or Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or another applicable administrative or statutory exemption or, in the case

3.    The Transferee is a “qualified purchaser” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, together with the rules and regulations thereunder (the “1940 Act”), and is aware that the Issuer will not be registered under the 1940 Act in reliance on the exemption set forth in Section 3(c)(7) thereof and that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Transferee further represents and warrants that:
(A)    it is not purchasing the Notes with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not sell participation interests in the notes or enter into any other arrangement pursuant to which any other person will be entitled to an interest in any payments on or based on the notes;

(D)    it is not (x) a partnership, common trust fund, special trust, pension fund or retirement plan or other entity in which the partners, beneficiaries, security owners or participants, as the case may be, may designate the particular investments to be made or the allocation thereof, unless each such partner, beneficiary, security owner or participant empowered alone or with other partners or participants to make such decisions meets all requirements set forth herein for qualification as an eligible purchaser, or (y) an entity that has invested more than 40% of its assets in securities of the Issuer, giving effect to the amount invested in connection with its acquisition of the notes or a beneficial interest therein, unless each beneficial owner of the eligible purchaser's securities meets all requirements set forth herein for qualification as an eligible purchaser;
(E)    it either (x) is not an entity organized prior to April 30, 1996 that is excepted from the 1940 Act pursuant to section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) thereof or (y) has received the consent of the beneficial owners of its securities with respect to its treatment as a “qualified purchaser” in the manner required by section 2(a)(51)(C) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder;
(F)     it acknowledges that the Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that the Notes

have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Issuer has not been and will not be registered under the 1940 Act; and
(G) if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes or beneficial or economic interests therein, such Notes or interests may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only to a transferee who first provides a certificate in the form of this Exhibit B of the Indenture on behalf of itself and each account for which it is purchasing.
4.    The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee did not include any of the securities referred to in this paragraph.
5.    For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market. Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction. However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority‑owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
6.    ____     ____        Will the Transferee be purchasing the Notes
Yes    No        only for the Transferee's own account?
If the answer to the foregoing question is “no,” then in each case where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule l44A and a “qualified purchaser” under Section 2(a)(51) and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the “qualified institutional buyer” and “qualified purchaser” status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A and such third party has represented that it is a “qualified purchaser” under Section 2(a)(51) and the rules and regulations thereunder.

B-6



8.    The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Notes will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties any updated annual financial statements that become available on or before the date of such purchase, promptly after they become available.

(iii) third, by accepting a contribution to its capital from the Seller in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such purchase price therefor.
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.01(b), the Agent, on behalf of the Depositor, shall request borrowings under the Subordinated Loan with respect to each purchase by the Depositor of Receivables during the Funding Period to the extent necessary to make the payments set forth in Sections 2.01(a) and (b) hereof in connection with purchases of the Initial Receivables and the Additional Receivables, and the Seller irrevocably agrees to advance such amounts under the Subordinated Loan so requested; provided however, that the Depositor may not make any borrowing under the Subordinated Loan unless at the time of (and immediately after) each such borrowing thereunder, (i) the Depositor's total assets exceed its total liabilities both before and after the sale transaction, (ii) the Depositor's cash on hand is sufficient to satisfy all of its current obligations, (iii) the Depositor is adequately capitalized at a commercially reasonable level and (iv) the Depositor has determined that its financial capacity to meet its financial commitment under the Subordinate Loan and Subordinated Note is adequate.

No such Receivable includes amounts payable as a result of accounting or other errors, or the failure to deposit funds or the misapplication of funds by the Servicer.

ARTICLE VII.
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES; SECURITY INTEREST

Section 7.01. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute an absolute sale or contribution, or combination thereof, of the related Receivables from the Seller to the Depositor and an absolute sale or contribution, as applicable, of the related Receivables from the Depositor to the Issuer and that the related Receivables shall not be part of the Seller's or the Depositor's estate or otherwise be considered property of the Seller or the Depositor in the event of the bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation, conservatorship or similar proceeding relating to the Seller or the Depositor or any of their property. Except as set forth below, it is not intended that any amounts available for reimbursement of Receivables be deemed to have been pledged by the Seller to the Depositor or by the Depositor to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller or the Depositor. In the event that (A) the transfer of Receivables by the Seller to the Depositor or by the Depositor to the Issuer is deemed by a court or applicable regulatory, administrative or other governmental body contrary to the express intent of the parties to constitute a pledge rather than a sale or contribution, or a combination thereof, of the Receivables, or (B) if amounts available now or in the future for reimbursement of any Receivables are held to be property of the Seller or the Depositor or a loan to the Seller or the Depositor, or (C) if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to be a financing or some other similar arrangement or agreement, then: (i) this Agreement is and shall be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Relevant UCC; (ii) the Issuer shall be treated as having a first priority, perfected security interest in and to, and lien on, the Receivables so transferred and assigned to the Issuer hereunder; (iii) the agreement of the Seller and the Depositor hereunder to sell, assign, convey and transfer the Receivables shall be a grant by the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in the Receivables Related Collateral (as defined below), in any case, whether now in existence or hereafter arising. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller does hereby grant to the Depositor and the Depositor does hereby grant to the Issuer, a security interest in all of the Seller's and Depositor's, as applicable, property and right (including the power to convey title thereto), title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired in and to the Aggregate Receivables, together with (A) all amounts payable now or in the future by or with respect to the Receivables , (B) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all such amounts from time to time held or invested in accounts maintained by or on behalf of the Seller, by or on behalf of Freddie Mac or by or on behalf of the Depositor, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (C) all moneys due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC), together with all rights of the Seller to enforce such Receivables under the Servicing Contract (the “Receivables Related Collateral”). The possession by the Issuer or its agent of notes and such other goods, money, documents or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper, in each case, which constitute any of the items described in the foregoing sentence, or proceeds thereof, shall be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Relevant UCC of any applicable jurisdiction; and notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of any such holder for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.


16



Section 7.02. Security Interest.

(a).The Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in (i) any of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with respect to the Mortgage Loans included in the Freddie Mac Pool in respect of any of the Aggregate Receivables or (iii) the other property described above (including any and all Receivables Related Collateral), such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller shall execute such documents and instruments as the Depositor may reasonably request from time to time in order to effectuate the foregoing and shall return to the Depositor the executed copy of such documents and instruments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Seller, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Depositor's security interest described above, including without limitation (x) UCC continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller or the Depositor (such preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Depositor, if occasioned by a change in such party's name) or (2) any change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller.

The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in (i) any of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with respect to the Mortgage Loans included in the Freddie Mac Pool in respect of any of the Aggregate Receivables or (iii) the other property described above (including any and all Receivables Related Collateral), such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. At the Issuer's direction, the Depositor shall execute such documents and instruments as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to effectuate the foregoing and shall return to the Issuer the executed copy of such documents and instruments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Issuer's security interest described above, including without limitation (x) UCC continuation statements and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Depositor or the Issuer (such preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Issuer, if occasioned by a change in such party's name) or (2) any change in the jurisdiction of organization of the Depositor.

The Seller shall maintain accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each, if applicable). The Seller shall maintain its computer records so that, from and after the time of the Granting of the security interest under the Indenture on the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, the Seller's master computer records (including any back-up archives) that refer to any Receivables indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer in such Receivables and that the Receivable is owned by the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties.

The Depositor shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) accounts and records as to each Aggregate Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit the reader thereof to know at any time the interest of the Issuer in such Receivables and that the Receivable is owned by the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties.
Section 9.14 Verification Agent. Each of the Seller and the Depositor shall cooperate with the Verification Agent and shall allow the Verification Agent access to its books, records, computer system and employees during ordinary business hours upon reasonable notice and, subject to the terms of the Verification Agent Letter, shall allow the Verification Agent to review all collections and to make copies of any books, records and documents requested by the Verification Agent, but solely to the extent such items and review relate to the Aggregate Receivables and the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer and the Depositor under the Transaction Documents and the Servicing Contract.

Section 9.15 Exclusive. The Initial Receivables to be sold to the Depositor and to be sold and/or contributed from the Depositor to the Issuer on the Initial Funding Date shall consist of all of the Receivables with respect to the Mortgage Loans included in the Freddie Mac Pool outstanding as of the Initial Funding Date. The Additional Receivables sold on each Funding Date shall consist of all of the Receivables with respect to the Mortgage Loans included in the Freddie Mac Pool other than the Initial Receivables and the Receivables previously sold to the Depositor hereunder (other than Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof or Section 2.19 of the Indenture) as of the related Funding Date. During the Funding Period, the Seller shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or convey any Receivable with respect to the Mortgage Loans included in the Freddie Mac Pool to any Person other than the Depositor.

Section 9.16 Recovery. The Seller shall diligently endeavor to collect reimbursement of Aggregate Receivables and shall not waive or forgive the obligation of a mortgagor to pay such amounts except as may be required pursuant to the Servicing Contracts or in accordance with accepted servicing practices (as set forth in the Servicing Contract); provided, however, that upon waiving the right to collect all or a part of any such Receivable, the Seller shall immediately notify the Agent of such waiver and, upon the direction of the Agent, purchase the related Receivable from the Issuer at an amount equal to the applicable Repurchase Price.

Section 9.17 Merger; Change of Control. Without the prior written consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall enter into any transaction

23



of merger, consolidation or amalgamation (in any case, other than any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of any Affiliate(other than the Issuer or the Depositor) of the Seller into the Seller), or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation, wind up or dissolution). In addition, without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Seller hereby covenants that it shall not enter into any agreement or understanding, engage in any transaction or take any other action that shall result in a Change of Control.


Section 9.18 Use of Proceeds. The Seller shall utilize the proceeds of each purchase of Initial Receivables and Additional Receivables for general corporate purposes.

Section 9.19 Seller Procedures and Methodology. The Seller shall provide the Agent and the Noteholders with 30 days written notice prior to the modification of its procedures or methodology relating to (i) the reimbursement mechanics of Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances; (ii) the way in which it determines that a Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance and the extent to which it is no longer obligated to make any such Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance under the Servicing Contract; and (iii) the way in which it calculates the Reconciled Market Value of a residential property subject to a Mortgage Loan or an REO property.

Section 9.20 Financial Covenants. The Seller, acting as Servicer, covenants that:

(a).the ratio of its Total Indebtedness to Tangible Net Worth (excluding any residual securities issued in connection with a mortgage-backed securities securitization transaction) shall not at any time be greater than 9:1;

(b).the Seller shall maintain minimum Liquidity in an amount of not less than $30,000,000 as of the end of each calendar month; and

(c).the Tangible Net Worth of Seller shall at all times be greater than $175,000,000.

Section 9.21 Further Action. The Seller, Depositor and Issuer each individually, and collectively, covenant that they will take such further action as may be necessary, or in the reasonable opinion of the Agent is necessary, to the extent applicable to the Seller, Depositor, Issuer, Agent or Noteholders, to comply with the requirements relating to risk-retention and disclosure set forth in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Pub. L. No. 111 and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 9.22 Non-Consolidation. The Depositor shall (and the Seller, as the sole owner of 100% of the membership interests in the Depositor, shall cause the Depositor to):

(1)    maintain its own books and records and bank accounts separate from those of any other Person or the Seller;

(2)    at all times hold itself out to the public and all other Persons as a legal entity separate from the Seller and any other Person;

(3)    file its own tax returns, if any, as may be required under applicable law, to the extent (i) not part of a consolidated group filing a consolidated return or returns or (ii) not treated as a division for tax purposes of another taxpayer, and pay any taxes so required to be paid under applicable law;

(4)    not commingle its assets with assets of any other Person;

24




(5)    conduct its business in its own name and strictly comply with all organizational formalities to maintain its separate existence;

(6)    maintain separate financial statements;

(7)    pay its liabilities only out of its funds;

(8)    transact all business with its Affiliates and the Seller on an arm's length basis and pursuant to written, enforceable agreements;

(21) voluntarily file a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding;

(22) terminate, amend or otherwise modify its organizational documents without the prior written consent of the Agent; and

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.01. Indemnification.
  
(a).Without limiting any other rights that an Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party (as defined below) from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (as defined below) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party in any way arising out of or relating to any breach of the Seller's or the Servicer's obligations or covenants under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the ownership of the Aggregate Receivables or in respect of the Aggregate Receivables, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party.

Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Seller shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
i.
a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller under or in connection with this Agreement;
ii.
the failure by the Seller or the Servicer to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement, or any agreement executed by it in connection with this Agreement or with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Aggregate Receivable, or the nonconformity of any Aggregate Receivable with any such applicable law, rule or regulation; or
iii.
the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Issuer, or to transfer, to the Issuer, ownership of the Aggregate Receivables, together with all collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any adverse claim (except as permitted hereunder and in the Indenture), whether existing at the time of the transfer of such Aggregate Receivable or at any time thereafter, or the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Indenture Trustee the perfection of the security interest in the Aggregate Receivables free and clear of any adverse claim (except as permitted hereunder and in the Indenture), whether existing at the time of the transfer of such Aggregate Receivable or at any time thereafter.

(b).Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.01 shall be paid to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following demand therefor. “Indemnified Party” means any of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Agent, the Noteholders and any Hedge Provider and their officers, employees, directors and successors or assigns. “Indemnified Amounts” means any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and related reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (subject to the following paragraph), incurred by an Indemnified Party.

(c).Promptly after an Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or other

26



first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be claimed against the Seller under this Section 10.01, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Seller in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, and providing a copy thereof; provided, however, that failure so to notify the Seller shall not relieve the Seller from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that the Seller is prejudiced by such failure so to notify the Seller. The Seller will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, unless the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Seller, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Seller, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Seller and such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Depositor, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Issuer, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Agent, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Noteholders and one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Indenture Trustee. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Seller in the defense of any such action or claim. The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.

[_________], 2012

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Nationstar Agency Advance Funding 2012-AW, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Depositor”), promises to pay to the order of Nationstar Mortgage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), on [______], 20[__] (the “Maturity Date”) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of June [__], 2012 (together with all amendments and other modifications, if any, from time to time thereafter made thereto, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Seller, the Depositor and Nationstar Agency Advance Funding Trust 2012-AW (the “Issuer”), together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest on all amounts loaned hereunder.
Interest will accrue on the average daily balance of the unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder for each day from the date such loan amounts are made until they become due or are paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate (as defined below) and (ii) a spread designated as such in writing by the Seller to the Depositor from time to time (the “Spread”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first but excluding the last day). Should any principal of, or accrued interest on, any amounts loaned hereunder not be paid when due, such amount will bear interest from its due date until paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate, (ii) the Spread and (iii) [1.00]%. Interest shall be payable on the unpaid principal balance of this note (this “Subordinated Note”) commencing on [__________], 200[_] and continuing on the [___] day of each [January, April, July, and October]. With respect to any such [___] day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment otherwise due on such [___] day shall be due on the next subsequent day that is a Business Day.
For the purposes of this Subordinated Note, “LIBOR Rate” shall mean the offered rate for one-month U.S. dollar deposits as such rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Definitions) or such other page as may replace Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date; provided that if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for such date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which one-month U.S. dollar deposits are offered by [Name of Banks] (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date to prime banks in the London interbank market. In such event, the Seller will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at

D-1



least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%). If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Seller, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date for one-month U.S. dollar loans to leading European banks.
Unless plainly wrong, the computer records of the holder hereof shall on any day conclusively evidence the unpaid balance of this Subordinated Note and its advances and payments history posted up to that day. All loans and advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made hereon may be (but are not required to be) set forth by or on behalf of such holder on the schedule which is attached hereto or otherwise recorded in such holder's computer or manual records; provided, that any failure to make notation of any principal advance or accrual of interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Depositor's obligations or any of such holder's rights with respect to that advance or accrual. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings provided in or specified in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
The obligation of the Depositor to pay the principal of, and interest on, all loans and advances on this Subordinated Note shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be binding and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enforceable in all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to setoff, recoupment or counterclaim; provided, however, that the Depositor shall only be obligated to pay principal and interest on this Subordinated Note from cash actually received by the Depositor from distributions on the Receivables after payment of all amounts due the Noteholder under the Indenture, dated as of June [__], 2012, between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as indenture trustee.
Depositor may prepay at any time, without penalty or fee, the principal or interest outstanding hereunder or any portion of such principal or interest. Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in same day or immediately available funds.
The Seller hereby agrees, prior to the date that is 367 days after the Maturity Date, not to acquiesce, petition, or invoke the process of any court or government authority (or to encourage or cooperate with others) for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of or for the Seller or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Depositor to file any claim in, or to otherwise take any action with respect to, any insolvency proceeding instituted against the Seller by any other unaffiliated entity.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Seller is deemed to have any interest in any assets of the Depositor, the Seller agrees that its interest in those assets is subordinate to claims or rights of all other creditors of the Depositor. The Seller agrees that this Subordinated Note constitutes a subordinated note for purposes of Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.).
As set forth in Section 2.01(c) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Depositor hereby represents and warrants as of each loan and advance made hereon that at the time of (and immediately after) each loan and advance made hereunder, (i) the Depositor's total assets exceed its total liabilities both before and after the sale transaction, (ii) the Depositor's cash on hand is sufficient to satisfy all of its current obligations, (iii) the Depositor is adequately capitalized at a commercially reasonable level and (iv) the Depositor has determined that its financial capacity to meet its financial commitment under the Subordinate Loan and this Subordinated Note is adequate. Each loan or advance made hereunder by the Seller to the Depositor is subject

D-2



to the accuracy of the representations and warranties herein made on the part of the Depositor.
This Subordinated Note is the Subordinated Note referred to in, and evidences indebtedness incurred under, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the holder hereof is entitled to the benefits of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Depositor may borrow, repay and reborrow against this note under the circumstances, in the manner and for the purposes specified in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and this Subordinated Note, but for no other purposes. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor.    
THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.

ii.
The sale to the Depositor and the sale and/or contribution to the Issuer of the rights to reimbursement for the Delinquency Advances, Legacy Deferred Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances under each Securitization Trust, and the assignment and Grant thereof to the Indenture Trustee, does not violate the terms of the related Servicing Contract or any other material document or agreements to which the Seller is a party or to which its assets or properties are subject.

ARTICLE VII.
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES; SECURITY INTEREST
Section 7.01.    Intention of the Parties
It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute an absolute sale or contribution, or combination thereof, of the related Receivables from the Seller to the Depositor and an absolute sale or contribution, or a combination thereof, as applicable, of the related Receivables from the Depositor to the Issuer and that the related Receivables shall not be part of the Seller's or the Depositor's estate or otherwise be considered property of the Seller or the Depositor in the event of the bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation, conservatorship or similar proceeding relating to the Seller or the Depositor or any of their property.
Except as set forth below, it is not intended that any amounts available for reimbursement of Receivables be deemed to have been pledged by the Seller to the Depositor or by the Depositor to the Issuer

14




or the Indenture Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller or the Depositor. In the event that (A) the transfer of Receivables by the Seller to the Depositor or by the Depositor to the Issuer is deemed by a court or applicable regulatory, administrative or other governmental body contrary to the express intent of the parties to constitute a pledge rather than a sale or contribution, or a combination thereof, of the Receivables, or (B) if amounts available now or in the future for reimbursement of any Receivables are held to be property of the Seller or the Depositor or a loan to the Seller or the Depositor, or (C) if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to be a financing or some other similar arrangement or agreement, then:
(i) this Agreement is and shall be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Relevant UCC;
(ii) the Issuer shall be treated as having a first priority, perfected security interest in and to, and lien on, the Receivables so transferred and assigned to the Issuer hereunder; and
(iii) the agreement of the Seller and the Depositor hereunder to sell, assign, convey and transfer the Receivables shall be a grant by the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in the Receivables Related Collateral (as defined below), in any case, whether now in existence or hereafter arising.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller does hereby grant to the Depositor and the Depositor does hereby grant to the Issuer, a security interest in all of the Seller's and Depositor's, as applicable, property and right (including the power to convey title thereto), title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired in and to the Aggregate Receivables, together with (A) all amounts payable now or in the future by or with respect to the Receivables, (B) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all such amounts from time to time held or invested in accounts maintained by or on behalf of the Seller, by or on behalf of the Securitization Trusts or by or on behalf of the Depositor, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (C) all moneys due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC), together with all rights of the Seller to enforce such Receivables under each Servicing Contract (the “Receivables Related Collateral”). The possession by the Issuer or its agent of notes and such other goods, money, documents or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper, in each case, which constitute any of the items described in the foregoing sentence, or proceeds thereof, shall be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Relevant UCC of any applicable jurisdiction; and notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of any such holder for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Section 7.02.    Security Interest

a.The Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in (i) any of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with respect to the Securitization Trusts in respect of any of the Aggregate Receivables or (iii) the other property described above (including any and all Receivables Related Collateral), such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller shall execute such documents and instruments

iv.
removal of the Seller as Servicer with respect to any of the Subserviced Securitization Trusts (set forth on Schedule VIII of the Indenture as of the Closing Date) by the related Securitization Trustee on account of a failure to satisfy any condition to transfer of servicing requiring rating agency confirmation with respect thereto.

The Seller will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, unless the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Seller, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Seller, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Seller and such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Depositor, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Issuer, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Agent, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Noteholders and one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Indenture Trustee. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Seller in the defense of any such action or claim. The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.
Section 10.02    Non-Consolidation. The Depositor shall (and the Seller, as the sole owner of 100% of the membership interests in the Depositor, shall cause the Depositor to):
a.maintain its own books and records and bank accounts separate from those of any other Person or the Seller;
b.at all times hold itself out to the public and all other Persons as a legal entity separate from the Seller and any other Person;

p.cause the managers, officers, agents and other representatives of the Depositor, if any, to act at all times with respect to the Depositor consistently and in furtherance of the foregoing and in the best interests of the Depositor;
q.not acquire or assume any obligation or liability of any of its members;
r.observe all corporate and other organizational formalities;
s.dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part, except as provided herein (it being understood that the payment or repurchase of Receivables does not constitute a partial liquidation within the meaning of this provision);
t.incur, create or assume any indebtedness for borrowed money other than as expressly contemplated in the Transaction Documents;
u.voluntarily file a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding;

FORM OF SUBORDINATED NOTE

THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE OWNER HEREOF UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS, AND NEITHER THE ENTERING INTO, NOR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY, THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE WILL BE A “PROHIBITED TRANSACTION” UNDER THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”). BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE, THE HOLDER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS OF THE RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

[_________], 2012

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Nationstar Advance Funding 2012-C, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Depositor”), promises to pay to the order of Nationstar Mortgage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), on [______], 20[__] (the “Maturity Date”) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2012 (together with all amendments and other modifications, if any, from time to time thereafter made thereto, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Seller, the Depositor and Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-C (the “Issuer”), together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest on all amounts loaned hereunder.
Interest will accrue on the average daily balance of the unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder for each day from the date such loan amounts are made until they become due and or are paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate (as defined below) and (ii) a spread designated as such in writing by the Seller to the Depositor from time to time (the “Spread”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first but excluding the last day). Should any principal of, or accrued interest on, any amounts loaned hereunder not be paid when due, such amount will bear interest from its due date until paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate, (ii) the Spread and (iii) [1.00]%. Interest shall be payable on the unpaid principal balance of this note (this “Subordinated Note”) commencing on [__________], 200[_] and continuing on the [___] day of each [January, April, July, and October]. With respect to any such [___] day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment otherwise due on such [___] day shall be due on the next subsequent day that is a Business Day.
For the purposes of this Subordinated Note, “LIBOR Rate” shall mean the offered rate for one-month U.S. dollar deposits as such rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Definitions) or such other page as may replace Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date; provided that if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for such date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which one-month U.S. dollar deposits are offered by [Name of Banks] (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date to prime banks in the London interbank market. In such event, the Seller will
D-1




request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%). If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Seller, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date for one-month U.S. dollar loans to leading European banks.
Unless plainly wrong, the computer records of the holder hereof shall on any day conclusively evidence the unpaid balance of this Subordinated Note and its advances and payments history posted up to that day. All loans and advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made hereon may be (but are not required to be) set forth by or on behalf of such holder on the schedule which is attached hereto or otherwise recorded in such holder's computer or manual records; provided, that any failure to make notation of any principal advance or accrual of interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Depositor's obligations or any of such holder's rights with respect to that advance or accrual. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings provided in or specified in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
The obligation of the Depositor to pay the principal of, and interest on, all loans and advances on this Subordinated Note shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be binding and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enforceable in all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to setoff, recoupment or counterclaim; provided, however, that the Depositor shall only be obligated to pay principal and interest on this Subordinated Note from cash actually received by the Depositor from distributions on the Receivables after payment of all amounts due the Noteholder under the Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2012, between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as indenture trustee.
Depositor may prepay at any time, without penalty or fee, the principal or interest outstanding hereunder or any portion of such principal or interest. Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in same day or immediately available funds.
The Seller hereby agrees, prior to the date that is 367 days after the Maturity Date, not to acquiesce, petition, or invoke the process of any court or government authority (or to encourage or cooperate with others) for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of or for the Seller or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Depositor to file any claim in, or to otherwise take any action with respect to, any insolvency proceeding instituted against the Seller by any other unaffiliated entity.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Seller is deemed to have any interest in any assets of the Depositor, the Seller agrees that its interest in those assets is subordinate to claims or rights of all other creditors of the Depositor. The Seller agrees that this Subordinated Note constitutes a subordinated note for purposes of Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.).

It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute an absolute sale or contribution, or combination thereof, of the related Receivables from the Seller to the Depositor and an absolute sale or contribution, or a combination thereof, as applicable, of the related Receivables from the Depositor to the Issuer and that the related Receivables shall not be part of the Seller's or the Depositor's estate or otherwise be considered property of the Seller or the Depositor in the event of the bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation, conservatorship or similar proceeding relating to the Seller or the Depositor or any of their property.
Except as set forth below, it is not intended that any amounts available for reimbursement of Receivables be deemed to have been pledged by the Seller to the Depositor or by the Depositor to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller or the Depositor. In the event that (A) the transfer of Receivables by the Seller to the Depositor or by the Depositor or the Issuer is deemed by a court or applicable regulatory, administrative or other governmental body contrary to the express intent of the parties to constitute a pledge rather than a sale or contribution, or a combination thereof, of the Receivables, or (B) if amounts available now or in the future for reimbursement of any Receivables are held to be property of the Seller or the Depositor or a loan to the Seller or the Depositor, or (C) if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to be a financing or some other similar arrangement or agreement, then:
(i) this Agreement is and shall be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Relevant UCC;
(ii) the Issuer shall be treated as having a first priority, perfected security interest in and to, and lien on, the Receivables so transferred and assigned to the Issuer hereunder; and
(iii) the agreement of the Seller and the Depositor hereunder to sell, assign, convey and transfer the Receivables shall be a grant by the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in the Receivables Related Collateral (as defined below), in any case, whether now in existence or hereafter arising.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller does hereby grant to the Depositor and the Depositor does hereby grant to the Issuer, a security interest in all of the Seller's and Depositor's, as applicable, property and right (including the power to convey title thereto), title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired in and to the Aggregate Receivables, together with (A) all amounts payable now or in the future by or with

15



respect to the Receivables, (B) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all such amounts from time to time held or invested in accounts maintained by or on behalf of the Seller, by or on behalf of the Securitization Trusts or by or on behalf of the Depositor, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (C) all moneys due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC), together with all rights of the Seller to enforce such Receivables under each Servicing Contract (the “Receivables Related Collateral”); provided, that, other than the related Servicer's rights, “Receivables Related Collateral” shall not include any rights under the Servicing Contracts or against the related trust funds, investors in or guarantors of securities issued thereunder or any person and such Servicer is only pledging assets and rights that it owns. The possession by the Issuer or its agent of notes and such other goods, money, documents or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper, in each case, which constitute any of the items described in the foregoing sentence, or proceeds thereof, shall be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Relevant UCC of any applicable jurisdiction; and notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of any such holder for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Section 7.02. Security Interest
  
a.The Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in (i) any of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with respect to the Securitization Trusts in respect of any of the Aggregate Receivables or (iii) the other property described above (including any and all Receivables Related Collateral), such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller shall execute such documents and instruments as the Depositor may reasonably request from time to time in order to effectuate the foregoing and shall return to the Depositor the executed copy of such documents and instruments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Seller, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Depositor's security interest described above, including without limitation (x) UCC continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller or the Depositor (such preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Depositor, if occasioned by a change in such party's name) or (2) any change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller. Any purported pledge of any assets or rights other than the Receivables Related Collateral shall be of no force and effect and will not be deemed to create any additional rights or assets of either such Servicer or the Trust Estate.
b.The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in (i) any of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with respect to the Securitization Trusts in respect of any of the Aggregate Receivables or (iii) the other property described above (including any and all Receivables Related Collateral), such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.

EXHIBIT D

FORM OF SUBORDINATED NOTE

THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE OWNER HEREOF UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS, AND NEITHER THE ENTERING INTO, NOR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY, THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE WILL BE A “PROHIBITED TRANSACTION” UNDER THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”). BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE, THE HOLDER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS OF THE RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

[_________], 2012

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Nationstar Advance Funding 2012-R, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Depositor”), promises to pay to the order of Nationstar Mortgage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), on [______], 20[__] (the “Maturity Date”) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2012 (together with all amendments and other modifications, if any, from time to time thereafter made thereto, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Seller, the Depositor and Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-R (the “Issuer”), together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest on all amounts loaned hereunder.
Interest will accrue on the average daily balance of the unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder for each day from the date such loan amounts are made until they become due and or are paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate (as defined below) and (ii) a spread designated as such in writing by the Seller to the Depositor from time to time (the “Spread”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first but excluding the last day). Should any principal of, or accrued interest on, any amounts loaned hereunder not be paid when due, such amount will bear interest from its due date until paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate, (ii) the Spread and (iii) [1.00]%. Interest shall be payable on the unpaid principal balance of this note (this “Subordinated Note”) commencing on [__________], 200[_] and continuing on the [___] day of each [January, April, July, and October]. With respect to any such [___] day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment otherwise due on such [___] day shall be due on the next subsequent day that is a Business Day.
For the purposes of this Subordinated Note, “LIBOR Rate” shall mean the offered rate for one-month U.S. dollar deposits as such rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Definitions) or such other page as may replace Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date; provided that if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for such date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which one-month U.S. dollar deposits are offered by [Name of Banks] (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date to prime banks in the London interbank market. In such event, the Seller will




request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%). If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Seller, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date for one-month U.S. dollar loans to leading European banks.
Unless plainly wrong, the computer records of the holder hereof shall on any day conclusively evidence the unpaid balance of this Subordinated Note and its advances and payments history posted up to that day. All loans and advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made hereon may be (but are not required to be) set forth by or on behalf of such holder on the schedule which is attached hereto or otherwise recorded in such holder's computer or manual records; provided, that any failure to make notation of any principal advance or accrual of interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Depositor's obligations or any of such holder's rights with respect to that advance or accrual. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings provided in or specified in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
The obligation of the Depositor to pay the principal of, and interest on, all loans and advances on this Subordinated Note shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be binding and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enforceable in all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to setoff, recoupment or counterclaim; provided, however, that the Depositor shall only be obligated to pay principal and interest on this Subordinated Note from cash actually received by the Depositor from distributions on the Receivables after payment of all amounts due the Noteholder under the Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2012, between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as indenture trustee.
Depositor may prepay at any time, without penalty or fee, the principal or interest outstanding hereunder or any portion of such principal or interest. Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in same day or immediately available funds.
The Seller hereby agrees, prior to the date that is 367 days after the Maturity Date, not to acquiesce, petition, or invoke the process of any court or government authority (or to encourage or cooperate with others) for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of or for the Seller or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Depositor to file any claim in, or to otherwise take any action with respect to, any insolvency proceeding instituted against the Seller by any other unaffiliated entity.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Seller is deemed to have any interest in any assets of the Depositor, the Seller agrees that its interest in those assets is subordinate to claims or rights of all other creditors of the Depositor. The Seller agrees that this Subordinated Note constitutes a subordinated note for purposes of Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.).
As set forth in Section 2.01(b) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Depositor hereby represents and warrants as of each loan and advance made hereon that at the time of (and immediately after) each loan and advance made hereunder, (i) the Depositor's total assets exceed its total liabilities both before and after the sale transaction, (ii) the Depositor's cash on hand is sufficient to satisfy all of its current obligations, (iii) the Depositor is adequately capitalized at a commercially reasonable level and (iv) the Depositor has determined that its financial capacity to meet its financial commitment under the Subordinate




Loan and this Subordinated Note is adequate. Each loan or advance made hereunder by the Seller to the Depositor is subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties herein made on the part of the Depositor.
This Subordinated Note is the Subordinated Note referred to in, and evidences indebtedness incurred under, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the holder hereof is entitled to the benefits of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Depositor may borrow, repay and reborrow against this note under the circumstances, in the manner and for the purposes specified in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and this Subordinated Note, but for no other purposes. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor.    
THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE HEREBY AGREES TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO REVIEW THE JUDGMENTS THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

FORM OF SUBORDINATED NOTE

THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE OWNER HEREOF UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS, AND NEITHER THE ENTERING INTO, NOR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY, THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE WILL BE A “PROHIBITED TRANSACTION” UNDER THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”). BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE, THE HOLDER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS OF THE RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

[_________], 2012

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Nationstar Advance Funding 2012-R, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Depositor”), promises to pay to the order of Nationstar Mortgage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), on [______], 20[__] (the “Maturity Date”) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2012 (together with all amendments and other modifications, if any, from time to time thereafter made thereto, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Seller, the Depositor and Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-R (the “Issuer”), together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest on all amounts loaned hereunder.
Interest will accrue on the average daily balance of the unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder for each day from the date such loan amounts are made until they become due and or are paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate (as defined below) and (ii) a spread designated as such in writing by the Seller to the Depositor from time to time (the “Spread”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first but excluding the last day). Should any principal of, or accrued interest on, any amounts loaned hereunder not be paid when due, such amount will bear interest from its due date until paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate, (ii) the Spread and (iii) [1.00]%. Interest shall be payable on the unpaid principal balance of this note (this “Subordinated Note”) commencing on [__________], 200[_] and continuing on the [___] day of each [January, April, July, and October]. With respect to any such [___] day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment otherwise due on such [___] day shall be due on the next subsequent day that is a Business Day.
For the purposes of this Subordinated Note, “LIBOR Rate” shall mean the offered rate for one-month U.S. dollar deposits as such rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Definitions) or such other page as may replace Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date; provided that if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for such date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which one-month U.S. dollar deposits are offered by [Name of Banks] (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date to prime banks in the London interbank market. In such event, the Seller will
D-1




request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%). If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Seller, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date for one-month U.S. dollar loans to leading European banks.
Unless plainly wrong, the computer records of the holder hereof shall on any day conclusively evidence the unpaid balance of this Subordinated Note and its advances and payments history posted up to that day. All loans and advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made hereon may be (but are not required to be) set forth by or on behalf of such holder on the schedule which is attached hereto or otherwise recorded in such holder's computer or manual records; provided, that any failure to make notation of any principal advance or accrual of interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Depositor's obligations or any of such holder's rights with respect to that advance or accrual. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings provided in or specified in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
The obligation of the Depositor to pay the principal of, and interest on, all loans and advances on this Subordinated Note shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be binding and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enforceable in all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to setoff, recoupment or counterclaim; provided, however, that the Depositor shall only be obligated to pay principal and interest on this Subordinated Note from cash actually received by the Depositor from distributions on the Receivables after payment of all amounts due the Noteholder under the Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2012, between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as indenture trustee.
Depositor may prepay at any time, without penalty or fee, the principal or interest outstanding hereunder or any portion of such principal or interest. Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in same day or immediately available funds.
The Seller hereby agrees, prior to the date that is 367 days after the Maturity Date, not to acquiesce, petition, or invoke the process of any court or government authority (or to encourage or cooperate with others) for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of or for the Seller or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Depositor to file any claim in, or to otherwise take any action with respect to, any insolvency proceeding instituted against the Seller by any other unaffiliated entity.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Seller is deemed to have any interest in any assets of the Depositor, the Seller agrees that its interest in those assets is subordinate to claims or rights of all other creditors of the Depositor. The Seller agrees that this Subordinated Note constitutes a subordinated note for purposes of Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.).
As set forth in Section 2.01(b) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Depositor hereby represents and warrants as of each loan and advance made hereon that at the time of (and immediately after) each loan and advance made hereunder, (i) the Depositor's total assets exceed its total liabilities both before
D-2




and after the sale transaction, (ii) the Depositor's cash on hand is sufficient to satisfy all of its current obligations, (iii) the Depositor is adequately capitalized at a commercially reasonable level and (iv) the Depositor has determined that its financial capacity to meet its financial commitment under the Subordinate Loan and this Subordinated Note is adequate. Each loan or advance made hereunder by the Seller to the Depositor is subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties herein made on the part of the Depositor.
This Subordinated Note is the Subordinated Note referred to in, and evidences indebtedness incurred under, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the holder hereof is entitled to the benefits of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Depositor may borrow, repay and reborrow against this note under the circumstances, in the manner and for the purposes specified in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and this Subordinated Note, but for no other purposes. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor.    
THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE HEREBY AGREES TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO REVIEW THE JUDGMENTS THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

14


(other than the Initial Receivables), as of such Funding Date, not previously sold to the Depositor hereunder, except for Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof or Section 2.19 of the Indenture. The Seller has not sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed, without the Agent's consent, the right to reimbursement for any Delinquency Advance, Servicing Advance or Legacy Deferred Servicing Fee with respect to the Securitization Trusts to any Person other than the Depositor.
xiii.
Other than any Bottom of the Waterfall Advances or with respect to Securitization Trusts otherwise approved by the Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion), if the related Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance becomes a Nonrecoverable Advance after the related Funding Date, or the related Legacy Deferred Servicing Fee becomes nonrecoverable after the related Funding Date, the related Servicing Contract provides for the reimbursement of such Delinquency Advance, Servicing Advance or Legacy Deferred Servicing Fee from the general collections of the Securitization Trust prior to any payments to related Securitization Trust certificateholders.

None of the Receivables are related to Delinquency Advances, Servicing Advances or Legacy Deferred Servicing Fees reimbursed other than in accordance with the terms and provisions of the related Servicing Contacts
(ii)
No Receivable relates to a “high-cost mortgage loan” or “higher-priced mortgage loan” (as such terms, or term of substantially similar import, are defined in Section 32 of the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z) or any corresponding law in effect in the state in which the related Mortgage Loan was originated).
(iii)
All conditions to the transfer of servicing under each Servicing Contract to the Seller set forth in such Servicing Contract, if any, have been satisfied and the mortgage loan servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans held by the related Securitization Trust have been properly transferred, and all conditions to the transfer satisfied, from the applicable MSR Seller to Seller under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES; SECURITY INTEREST
Section 7.01. Intention of the Parties
It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute an absolute sale or contribution, or combination thereof, of the related Receivables from the Seller to the Depositor and an absolute sale or contribution, or combination thereof, as applicable, of the related Receivables from the Depositor to the Issuer and that the related Receivables shall not be part of the Seller's or the Depositor's estate or otherwise be considered property of the Seller or the Depositor in the event of the bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation, conservatorship or similar proceeding relating to the Seller or the Depositor or any of their property.
Except as set forth below, it is not intended that any amounts available for reimbursement of Receivables be deemed to have been pledged by the Seller to the Depositor or by the Depositor to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller or the Depositor. In the event that (A) the transfer of Receivables by the Seller to the Depositor or by the Depositor to the Issuer is deemed by a court or applicable regulatory, administrative or other governmental body contrary to the express intent of the parties to constitute a pledge rather than a sale or contribution, or a combination thereof, of the Receivables, or (B) if amounts available now or in the future for reimbursement of any Receivables are held to be property of the Seller or the Depositor or a loan to the Seller or the Depositor, or (C) if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to be a financing or some other similar arrangement or agreement, then:
(i) this Agreement is and shall be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Relevant UCC;
(ii) the Issuer shall be treated as having a first priority, perfected security interest in and to, and lien on, the Receivables so transferred and assigned to the Issuer hereunder; and
(iii) the agreement of the Seller and the Depositor hereunder to sell, assign, convey and transfer the Receivables shall be a grant by the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in the Receivables Related Collateral (as defined below), in any case, whether now in existence or hereafter arising.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller does hereby grant to the Depositor and the Depositor does hereby grant to the Issuer, a security interest in all of the Seller's and Depositor's, as applicable, property and right (including the power to convey title thereto), title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired

16


in and to the Aggregate Receivables, together with (A) all amounts payable now or in the future by or with respect to the Receivables, (B) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all such amounts from time to time held or invested in accounts maintained by or on behalf of the Seller, by or on behalf of the Securitization Trusts or by or on behalf of the Depositor, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (C) all moneys due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC), together with all rights of the Seller to enforce such Receivables under each Servicing Contract (the “Receivables Related Collateral”). The possession by the Issuer or its agent of notes and such other goods, money, documents or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper, in each case, which constitute any of the items described in the foregoing sentence, or proceeds thereof, shall be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Relevant UCC of any applicable jurisdiction; and notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of any such holder for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Section 7.02.
Security Interest
(a) The Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in (i) any of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with respect to the Securitization Trusts in respect of any of the Aggregate Receivables or (iii) the other property described above (including any and all Receivables Related Collateral), such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller shall execute such documents and instruments as the Depositor may reasonably request from time to time in order to effectuate the foregoing and shall return to the Depositor the executed copy of such documents and instruments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Seller, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Depositor's security interest described above, including without limitation (x) UCC continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller or the Depositor (such preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Depositor, if occasioned by a change in such party's name) or (2) any change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller.
(b) The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in (i) any of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with respect to the Securitization Trusts in respect of any of the Aggregate Receivables or (iii) the other property described above (including any and all Receivables Related Collateral), such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. At the Issuer's direction, the Depositor shall execute such documents and instruments as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to effectuate the foregoing and shall return to the Issuer the executed copy of such documents and instruments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Issuer's

17


security interest described above, including without limitation (x) UCC continuation statements and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Depositor or the Issuer (such preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Issuer, if occasioned by a change in such party's name) or (2) any change in the jurisdiction of organization of the Depositor.

The Seller, in its capacity as Servicer under the Servicing Contracts with respect to the Securitization Trusts, hereby covenants and agrees not to amend or agree to the amendment of any of the Servicing Contracts without providing ten (10) days prior written notice to the Agent and the Indenture Trustee (for subsequent distributions to Noteholders) (in each case, such written notice delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested) and, if such amendment has a material adverse effect on the Trust Estate or the interests of the Noteholders as determined by the Agent, without receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent and the Controlling Class Required Noteholders.  The Agent shall notify the Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, that it reasonably believes such amendment to have a material adverse effect on the Trust Estate within such ten (10) days of its receipt of the notice of the Seller of the applicable amendment; provided, however, that if no such notice is received by the Seller from the Agent within such ten (10) day period, the Agent will be deemed to have notified the Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, that it reasonably believes such amendment does not have a material adverse effect on the Trust Estate or the interests of the Noteholders at the expiration of such ten (10) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, in its capacity as Servicer under the Servicing Contracts with respect to the Securitization Trusts, may amend a Servicing Contract with the written consent of the Agent and the Controlling Class Required Noteholders.
Section 9.12. No Netting or Offsetting
The Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, shall collect and deposit gross collections with respect to the Securitization Trusts into the related Collection Accounts in accordance with the related Servicing Contracts, without netting, off-set or deduction from such collections or deposits for any purpose, with the exception of Servicing Compensation due and payable to the Servicer. The Seller shall make all Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances out of its own funds without the utilization of any netting or offsetting of amounts in any account of the Securitization Trust, except as permitted under the Servicing Contracts with respect to amounts paid ahead by Mortgagors (or such substantially similar term as is used in each such Servicing Contract). The Seller shall repay any amounts borrowed with respect to amounts paid ahead by Mortgagors (or such substantially similar term as is used in each such Servicing Contract) pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Servicing Contracts.
Section 9.13. Books and Records
The Seller shall maintain accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each, if applicable). The Seller shall maintain its computer records so that, from and after the time of the Granting of the security interest under the Indenture on the

23


Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, the Seller's master computer records (including any back-up archives) that refer to any Receivables indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer in such Receivables and that the Receivable is owned by the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties.
The Depositor shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) accounts and records as to each Aggregate Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit the reader thereof to know at any time the interest of the Issuer in such Receivables and that the Receivable is owned by the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties.
Section 9.14. Verification Agent
Each of the Seller and the Depositor shall cooperate with the Verification Agent and shall allow the Verification Agent access to its books, records, computer system and employees during ordinary business hours upon reasonable notice and, subject to the terms of the Verification Agent Letter, shall allow the Verification Agent to review all collections and to make copies of any books, records and documents requested by the Verification Agent, but solely to the extent such items and review relate to the Aggregate Receivables and the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer and the Depositor under the Transaction Documents and the Servicing Contracts for the Securitization Trusts.
Section 9.15. Exclusive
The Initial Receivables to be sold to the Depositor and to be sold and/or contributed from the Depositor to the Issuer on the Initial Funding Date shall consist of all of the Receivables with respect to the Securitization Trusts outstanding as of the Initial Funding Date. The Additional Receivables sold on each Funding Date shall consist of all of the Receivables with respect to the Securitization Trusts other than the Initial Receivables and the Receivables previously sold to the Depositor hereunder (other than Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof or Section 2.19 of the Indenture) as of the related Funding Date. During the Funding Period, the Seller shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or convey any Receivable with respect to the Securitization Trusts to any Person other than the Depositor.
Section 9.16. Recovery
The Seller shall diligently endeavor to collect reimbursement of Aggregate Receivables and shall not waive or forgive the obligation of a mortgagor to pay such amounts except as may be required pursuant to the related Servicing Contracts or in accordance with accepted servicing practices (as set forth in such Servicing Contracts); provided, however, that upon waiving the right to collect all or a part of any such Receivable, the Seller shall immediately notify the Agent of such waiver and, upon the direction of the Agent, purchase the related Receivable from the Issuer at an amount equal to the applicable Repurchase Price.
Section 9.17. Merger; Change of Control
Without the prior written consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall enter into any transaction of merger, consolidation or amalgamation (in any case, other than any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of any Affiliate(other than the Issuer or the Depositor) of the Seller into the Seller), or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation, wind up or dissolution). In addition, without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Seller hereby covenants that it shall not enter into any agreement or understanding, engage in any transaction or take any other action that shall result in a Change of Control.
Section 9.18. Use of Proceeds
The Seller shall utilize the proceeds of each purchase of Initial Receivables and Additional Receivables for general corporate purposes.


24


Section 9.19. Seller Procedures and Methodology
The Seller shall provide the Agent and the Noteholders with 30 days written notice prior to the modification of its procedures or methodology relating to (i) the reimbursement mechanics of Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances; (ii) the way in which it determines that a Delinquency Advance, Servicing Advance or Legacy Deferred Servicing Fee is a Nonrecoverable Advance and the extent to which it is no longer obligated to make any such Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance under the related Servicing Contract; and (iii) the way in which it calculates the Reconciled Market Value of a residential property subject to a Mortgage Loan or an REO property.
Section 9.20. Financial Covenants.
The Seller, acting as Servicer, covenants that:
a.the ratio of its Total Indebtedness to Tangible Net Worth (excluding any residual securities issued in connection with a mortgage-backed securities securitization transaction) shall not at any time be greater than 9:1;
b.the Seller shall maintain minimum Liquidity in an amount of not less than $30,000,000 as of the end of each calendar month; and
c.the Tangible Net Worth of Seller shall at all times be greater than $175,000,000.
Section 1.02Further Action. The Seller, Depositor and Issuer each individually, and collectively, covenant that they will take such further action as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, necessary, to the extent applicable to the Seller, Depositor, Issuer, Agent or Noteholders, to comply with the requirements relating to risk-retention and disclosure set forth in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Pub. L. No. 111 and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.


Section 9.21. Non-Consolidation. The Depositor shall (and the Seller, as the sole owner of 100% of the membership interests in the Depositor, shall cause the Depositor to):
(1)    maintain its own books and records and bank accounts separate from those of any other Person or the Seller;

(2)    at all times hold itself out to the public and all other Persons as a legal entity separate from the Seller and any other Person;

(3)    file its own tax returns, if any, as may be required under applicable law, to the extent (i) not part of a consolidated group filing a consolidated return or returns or (ii) not treated as a division for tax purposes of another taxpayer, and pay any taxes so required to be paid under applicable law;

(4)    not commingle its assets with assets of any other Person;

(5)    conduct its business in its own name and strictly comply with all organizational formalities to maintain its separate existence;

(6)    maintain separate financial statements;

(21)     not voluntarily file a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding;

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 10.01. Indemnification.
(a)Without limiting any other rights that an Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party (as defined below) from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (as defined below) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party in any way arising out of or relating to any breach of the Seller's or the Servicer's obligations or covenants under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the ownership of the Aggregate Receivables or in respect of the Aggregate Receivables, excluding, however,

26


Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party.
Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Seller shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(i)
a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller under or in connection with this Agreement;
(ii)
the failure by the Seller or the Servicer to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement, or any agreement executed by it in connection with this Agreement or with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Aggregate Receivable, or the nonconformity of any Aggregate Receivable with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;
(iii)
the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Issuer, or to transfer, to the Issuer, ownership of the Aggregate Receivables, together with all collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any adverse claim (except as permitted hereunder and in the Indenture), whether existing at the time of the transfer of such Aggregate Receivable or at any time thereafter, or the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Indenture Trustee the perfection of the security interest in the Aggregate Receivables free and clear of any adverse claim (except as permitted hereunder and in the Indenture), whether existing at the time of the transfer of such Aggregate Receivable or at any time thereafter; or
(iv)
removal of the Seller as Servicer with respect to any of the Subserviced Securitization Trusts (set forth on Schedule IX of the Indenture as of the Closing Date) by the related Securitization Trustee on account of a failure to satisfy any condition to transfer of servicing requiring rating agency confirmation with respect thereto.
(b)Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.01 shall be paid to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following demand therefor. “Indemnified Party” means any of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Agent, the Variable Funding Noteholders and any Hedge Provider and their officers, employees, directors and successors or assigns. “Indemnified Amounts” means any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and related reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (subject to the following paragraph), incurred by an Indemnified Party.
(c)Promptly after an Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or other first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be claimed against the Seller under this Section 10.01, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Seller in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, and providing a copy thereof; provided, however, that failure so to notify the Seller shall not relieve the Seller from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that the Seller is prejudiced by such failure so to notify the Seller. The Seller will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, unless the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Seller, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Seller, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Seller and such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be responsible for the fees

27


and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Depositor, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Issuer, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Agent, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Noteholders and one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Indenture Trustee. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Seller in the defense of any such action or claim. The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding.

EXHIBIT D

FORM OF SUBORDINATED NOTE

THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE OWNER HEREOF UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS, AND NEITHER THE ENTERING INTO, NOR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY, THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE WILL BE A “PROHIBITED TRANSACTION” UNDER THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”). BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE, THE HOLDER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS OF THE RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

[_________], 2012

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Nationstar Advance Funding 2012-W, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Depositor”), promises to pay to the order of Nationstar Mortgage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), on [______], 20[__] (the “Maturity Date”) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01(f) of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2012 (together with all amendments and other modifications, if any, from time to time thereafter made thereto, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Seller, the Depositor and Nationstar Advance Funding Trust 2012-W (the “Issuer”), together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest on all amounts loaned hereunder.
Interest will accrue on the average daily balance of the unpaid principal amount of all amounts loaned hereunder for each day from the date such loan amounts are made until they become due or are paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate (as defined below) and (ii) a spread designated as such in writing by the Seller to the Depositor from time to time (the “Spread”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first but excluding the last day). Should any principal of, or accrued interest on, any amounts loaned hereunder not be paid when due, such amount will bear interest from its due date until paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate, (ii) the Spread and (iii) [1.00]%. Interest shall be payable on the unpaid principal balance of this note (this “Subordinated Note”) commencing on [__________], 200[_] and continuing on the [___] day of each [January, April, July, and October]. With respect to any such [___] day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment otherwise due on such [___] day shall be due on the next subsequent day that is a Business Day.



D-1



For the purposes of this Subordinated Note, “LIBOR Rate” shall mean the offered rate for one-month U.S. dollar deposits as such rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Definitions) or such other page as may replace Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date; provided that if such rate does not appear
on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for such date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which one-month U.S. dollar deposits are offered by [Name of Banks] (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date to prime banks in the London interbank market. In such event, the Seller will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%). If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Seller, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date for one-month U.S. dollar loans to leading European banks.
Unless plainly wrong, the computer records of the holder hereof shall on any day conclusively evidence the unpaid balance of this Subordinated Note and its advances and payments history posted up to that day. All loans and advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made hereon may be (but are not required to be) set forth by or on behalf of such holder on the schedule which is attached hereto or otherwise recorded in such holder's computer or manual records; provided, that any failure to make notation of any principal advance or accrual of interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Depositor's obligations or any of such holder's rights with respect to that advance or accrual. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings provided in or specified in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
The obligation of the Depositor to pay the principal of, and interest on, all loans and advances on this Subordinated Note shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be binding and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enforceable in all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to setoff, recoupment or counterclaim; provided, however, that the Depositor shall only be obligated to pay principal and interest on this Subordinated Note from cash actually received by the Depositor from distributions on the Receivables after payment of all amounts due the Noteholder under the Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2012, between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as indenture trustee.
Depositor may prepay at any time, without penalty or fee, the principal or interest outstanding hereunder or any portion of such principal or interest. Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in same day or immediately available funds.
The Seller hereby agrees, prior to the date that is 367 days after the Maturity Date, not to acquiesce, petition, or invoke the process of any court or government authority (or to encourage or cooperate with others) for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of or for the Seller or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Depositor to file any claim in, or to otherwise take any action with respect to, any insolvency proceeding instituted against the Seller by any other unaffiliated entity.

D-2



Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Seller is deemed to have any interest in any assets of the Depositor, the Seller agrees that its interest in those assets is subordinate to claims or rights of all other creditors of the Depositor. The Seller agrees that this Subordinated Note constitutes a subordinated note for purposes of Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.).
As set forth in Section 2.01(f) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Depositor hereby represents and warrants as of each loan and advance made hereon that at the time of (and immediately after) each loan and advance made hereunder, (i) the Depositor's total assets exceed its total liabilities both before and after the sale transaction, (ii) the Depositor's cash on hand is sufficient to satisfy all of its current obligations, (iii) the Depositor is adequately capitalized at a commercially reasonable level and (iv) the Depositor has determined that its financial capacity to meet its financial commitment under the Subordinate Loan and this Subordinated Note is adequate. Each loan or advance made hereunder by the Seller to the Depositor is subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties herein made on the part of the Depositor.
This Subordinated Note is the Subordinated Note referred to in, and evidences indebtedness incurred under, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the holder hereof is entitled to the benefits of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Depositor may borrow, repay and reborrow against this note under the circumstances, in the manner and for the purposes specified in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and this Subordinated Note, but for no other purposes. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor.    
THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE HEREBY AGREES TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO REVIEW THE JUDGMENTS THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.
