Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 8, 2018, Front Yard Residential Corporation (the “Company”) acquired all of the equity interests of HavenBrook Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HavenBrook”), and three real estate investment trusts owned by Rental Home Associates LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RHA”), for an aggregate purchase price of $485.0 million. HavenBrook is a property management company, and the assets of the entities acquired from RHA include 3,236 single-family rental properties (the “RHA Acquired Properties”). The acquisition increases the size of the Company’s single-family rental portfolio to approximately 15,000 properties and enhances the Company’s presence in existing strategic target markets, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Minnesota. HavenBrook provides the Company with an internal property management service company that will initially manage the RHA Acquired Properties and, following a short transition period, will also manage the rental properties currently managed by Altisource S.à r.l., one of the Company’s external property managers. In connection with this acquisition, the Company amended the Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”), dated December 21, 2012, with Altisource S.à r.l. as further described below.

In conjunction with the acquisition of HavenBrook and the new rental properties, Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC provided a $508.7 million interest only, 10-year loan with a fixed rate of 4.65% (the “Loan”) through the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s (“Freddie Mac”) affordable single-family rental pilot program. This financing includes 2,798 of the newly acquired properties as well as 2,015 additional properties already owned by the Company and previously financed on its existing warehouse facilities. Approximately 78% of the homes financed pursuant to the Loan have rents that are considered affordable for families earning at or below 80% of the area median income (“AMI”). Moreover, approximately 93% of the homes are affordable for families earning at or below 100% of AMI.

In connection with the acquisition of HavenBrook and the RHA entities and the amendment to the MSA, subsidiaries of the Company entered into several agreements, which are described in more detail in this Item 1.01 and Item 2.03 below.

Purchase Agreement

On August 8, 2018, FYR SFR Purchaser, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), acquired the equity interests of HavenBrook and three Delaware corporations, RHA 1 Inc. (“RHA 1”), RHA 2 Inc. (“RHA 2”), and RHA 3 Inc. (“RHA 3” and, together with RHA 1 and RHA 2, the “RHA Companies”), through its entry into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with RHA, each of the unitholders of HavenBrook identified therein (the “HB Sellers” and, together with RHA, the “Sellers”), the RHA Companies and HavenBrook.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser acquired from Sellers 100% of the equity interests of each of HavenBrook and the RHA Companies (the “Equity Interests”), which owned the RHA Acquired Properties at closing. Following the consummation of the transaction, HavenBrook and the RHA Companies became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

As consideration for the Equity Interests, the Purchaser paid to Sellers collectively $485.0 million, which is subject to certain purchase price adjustments in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price was partially funded with the proceeds from the FYR SFR Loan Agreement (as defined and described more fully in Item 2.03 below).

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Purchase Agreement has been included as an exhibit hereto to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about HavenBrook, the RHA Companies, the Purchaser, the Sellers or the Company. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreement and were made as of specified dates. These representations, warranties, covenants and agreements were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of HavenBrook, the RHA Companies, the Purchaser, the Sellers or the Company. Moreover, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in disclosure





schedules that the parties have exchanged. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts concerning HavenBrook, the RHA Companies, the Purchaser, the Sellers or the Company. Information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

Amendment to the MSA between the Company and Altisource S.à r.l.

In connection with the acquisition of the Equity Interests pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on August 8, 2018, the Company and Altisource S.à r.l. entered into an amendment to the MSA (the “MSA Amendment Agreement”). Pursuant to the MSA, Altisource S.à r.l. had been the exclusive provider of leasing and property management services to the Company and each of its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the MSA Amendment Agreement, the Company will acquire certain property management resources owned by Altisource S.à r.l. The exclusivity provisions with respect to the renovation and property management provisions have been terminated in order to allow the Company to complete the acquisition of HavenBrook, internally manage the RHA Acquired Properties and internalize the property management function related to the rental properties managed by Altisource S.à r.l. over a transition period ending December 31, 2018 (the “Transition Period”). Following the Transition Period, the MSA will be terminated in its entirety in respect of the renovation, leasing and property management services set forth in the MSA. Subject to certain conditions, the title insurance services statement of work under the MSA will remain in place until the fourth anniversary of the MSA Amendment Agreement. In addition, Altisource S.à r.l. will continue to provide certain services, including property preservation, maintenance, valuation, and sale brokerage services, with respect to approximately 300 remaining non-rental legacy assets of the Company until such properties are sold. The MSA Amendment Agreement also contains a lock-up agreement under which, subject to certain limited exceptions, Altisource S.à r.l. will be restricted from selling its shares in Front Yard until December 31, 2018, and thereafter sales would be limited under a quarterly share dispositions schedule.

In exchange for the property management resources to be acquired and the above-described amendments, including the termination of the exclusivity provision of the MSA, the Company has agreed to pay an aggregate of (x) $15.0 million upon the signing of the MSA Amendment Agreement and (y) $3.0 million, which will be paid on the earlier to occur of (i) a change of control of the Company or (ii) August 8, 2023.

The foregoing description of the MSA Amendment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MSA Amendment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On August 8, 2018 , FYR SFR Borrower, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”), entered into the Loan Agreement (the “FYR SFR Loan Agreement”) with Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as lender (the “Lender”). Pursuant to the FYR SFR Loan Agreement, Borrower borrowed $508.7 million from the Lender secured by first priority mortgages on certain properties owned by the RHA Companies and certain other properties already owned by the Company or its affiliates and previously financed on the Company’s warehouse facilities with other lenders (together, the “Collateral Properties”). The Loan was originated through the Freddie Mac affordable single-family rental program and will be purchased by Freddie Mac. The Loan is interest only, has a fixed interest rate of 4.65% and a ten-year term, with an ultimate maturity date of September 1, 2028.

The FYR SFR Loan Agreement requires that Borrower comply with various affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for loans of this type, including limitations on indebtedness Borrower can incur, limitations on sales and dispositions of the Collateral Properties and various restrictions on the use of cash generated by the operations of the Collateral Properties while the Loan is outstanding.

A portion of the proceeds from the Loan were utilized to pay down parts of the Company’s financing arrangements under the Company’s existing warehouse facilities. An aggregate of 2,015 single-family rental properties that were previously collateral under the Company's warehouse facilities were released from such facilities and now are financed under the FYR SFR Loan Agreement. In addition, 438 of the RHA Acquired Properties were not financed under the FYR SFR Loan Agreement and are financed under one of the Company's warehouse facilities.

The foregoing description of the FYR SFR Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the FYR SFR Loan Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Seller be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Section 9.02 in excess of the portion of the Purchase Price received by such Seller.
Section 9.03      Indemnification by Purchaser . Subject to Section 9.04 , from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each, a “ Seller Indemnified Party ”) for and against any and all Losses, arising out of or resulting from: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty in Article V and (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement requiring performance by Purchaser (or by any of the Target Companies after the Closing).
Section 9.04      Limits on Indemnification .
(a)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02 unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party exceeds an amount equal to one million dollars ($1,000,000) (the “ Liability Threshold ”), provided that once the Liability Threshold is reached, Sellers shall be liable for all claims back to dollar zero; (ii) the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be

37




recovered from an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.02 shall be an amount equal to thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) (the “ Cap ”) and (iii) an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual claim or series of related individual claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02 unless the amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party for each individual claim or series of related individual claims exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (the “ Per Claim Minimum ”), after which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all of such Losses back to dollar one; provided, however, to the extent that the representations and warranties contained in Article IV (including Annex H ) relate to an Owned Real Property, if the claim or series of related individual claims relates to breach of such representations and warranties and results in making it impossible or against applicable Law for Purchaser or its Affiliates to rent such Owned Real Property to a third party, the Per Claim Minimum shall not apply with respect to such claim or series of related individual claims related to such breach; provided, further, that any Losses arising out of (i) a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02 or (ii) any claim asserted pursuant to item (iv) or item (v) of Section 9.02 shall not be subject to the Liability Threshold, the Cap or the Per Claim Minimum.
(b)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02 for any Losses to the extent such Losses relate solely to Taxes attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period.
(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX for any Losses resulting from, or relating or attributable to, any Tax attribute of any of the Target Companies, including but not limited to any net operating loss carryover or credit carryover, any capital loss or Tax attribute which may be affected in any way by the acquisition of control under applicable Law, or the determination that any such Tax attribute is subject to any limitation on its use under applicable Law.
(d)      During the survival period, if any of the representations and warranties set forth on Annex H are determined to have been breached by RHA Seller as of the Closing Date, RHA Seller may elect to take such actions, by delivery to Purchaser of written notification within ten (10) days of receipt of the applicable Claim Notice, at such RHA Seller’s sole cost and expense, as are necessary to render the applicable representation or warrant accurate within forty five (45) days of receipt of the applicable Claims Notice.
(e)      Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to mitigate any claim or Liability that an Indemnified Party asserts under this Article IX and shall make a good-faith effort to recover all Losses from insurers of such Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies so as to reduce the amount of Losses hereunder. In the event that an Indemnified Party shall fail to use such efforts to mitigate or recover for any claim or Liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Sellers nor Purchaser, as the case may be, shall be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any Loss that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided or reduced if the Indemnified Party had made such efforts.
Section 9.05      Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims . An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined

38




has given or could reasonably give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to such claim, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises (such notice a “ Claim Notice ”). With respect to a breach of any representation or warranty, the Claim Notice must be received on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 9.01 , irrespective of whether the subject matter of such claim or Action shall have occurred before or after such date. If the matter is a claim brought by a third party (a “ Third Party Claim ”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to direct the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, pay, or permit to be paid, any part of such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such payment or unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Third Party Claim Liability or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.05 and proposes to settle such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding.
Section 9.06      Exclusive Remedies . Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Target Companies, Purchaser and Sellers with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortuous conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statue, strict liability, or otherwise); provided that this provision shall not apply to claims of fraud nor shall it impede or interfere with the operation Section 2.06 .
Section 9.07      Manner of Payment . Any indemnification payments to be made by Sellers pursuant to Section 9.02 or Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.03 , as the case may be, shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.
Section 9.08      Treatment of Indemnity Payments . Any indemnity payments made by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase

39




Price for federal, state and local income Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 10.03      Public Announcements . No party to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other parties, or mention any Affiliates of Sellers in any such press release, public announcement or communication, in each case, unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, and the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication.
Section 10.04      Severability . If any term or other provision of this Agreement is deemed by any court to be violative of Law or public policy and therefore invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
Section 10.05      Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the Non-Disclosure Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the Target Companies, Sellers and Front Yard Residential Corporation with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Section 10.06      Assignment . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators; provided , however , that no party to this Agreement may assign its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of each of the other parties to this Agreement (which consent may be granted or withheld in such parties’ sole discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following the Closing, Purchaser may assign this Agreement or any part thereof to an Affiliate or Affiliates following written notice to the Representative, provided that such assignment shall not serve to release Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 10.07      Amendment . This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, each party hereto, or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 10.08 .
Section 10.08      Waiver . The parties to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies

42




in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained herein or in any document delivered by the other parties pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other parties or conditions to such parties’ obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.
Section 10.09      No Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied (including the provisions of Article IX relating to Indemnified Parties), is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 10.10      Neutral Construction . The parties agree that this Agreement was negotiated at arms-length and that the final terms hereof are the product of the parties’ negotiations. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and equally drafted by the Target Companies, Sellers and Purchaser, and the provisions hereof should not be construed against a party on the grounds that the party drafted or was more responsible for drafting the provision.
Section 10.11      Governing Law . This Agreement and all proceedings (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, or related to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the actions of Purchaser, Sellers or the Target Companies in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.
Section 10.12      Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 10.13      Specific Performance . The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.  In particular, the parties acknowledge that the Business, operations and reputations of each of the Target Companies would be irreparably harmed in the event of a breach and recognize and affirm that in the event any party breaches this Agreement money damages would be inadequate and the other parties would have no adequate remedy at law, so that the non-breaching parties shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor, to enforce their rights and the breaching party’s

43




obligations hereunder not only by action for damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive, and/or other equitable relief.
Section 10.14      Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or electronic mail in portable document format) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(b)      Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and representatives (including the Target Companies after Closing), hereby (i) consents to Latham & Watkins LLP’s representation of the Seller Representative, any Seller, and the Target Companies (prior to the Closing) and/or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) waives any claim it has or may have that Latham & Watkins LLP has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation based on its representation of the Target Companies prior to the Closing and (iii) agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser and/or the Target Companies (after the Closing) or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Seller Representative, any Seller, and the Target Companies and/or their respective Affiliates (prior to the Closing), on the other hand, Latham & Watkins LLP may represent the Seller Representative, any Seller, and the Target Companies (prior to the Closing) and any of their respective and/or their respective Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of the Seller Representative, any Seller, and the Target Companies (prior to the Closing) and any of their respective and their respective Affiliates may be directly adverse to Purchaser or the Target Companies (after the Closing) or any of their respective Affiliates and notwithstanding that Latham & Watkins LLP may have represented the Target Companies in a matter substantially related to such dispute.

44




(c)      Purchaser further agrees that, as to all communications among Latham & Watkins LLP, the Target Companies, the Seller Representative, any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates and representatives prior to the Closing that relate in any way to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence attaching as a result of Latham & Watkins LLP’s representation of the Target Companies, the Seller Representative, any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates and representatives related to the preparation for, and negotiation and consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect, and belong, to the extent such privilege exists, to the Seller Representative, such Seller, and any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Target Companies) as applicable, and may be controlled by the Seller Representative, Sellers and any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Target Companies and their Affiliates) as applicable, and will not, with respect to such privileged communications, pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, the Target Companies or any of their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, effective as of the Closing, (i) all communications (and materials relating thereto) between any of the Target Companies and Latham & Watkins LLP related to the preparation for, and negotiation and consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are hereby assigned and transferred to the Seller Representative, (ii) the Target Companies hereby release all of their rights and interests to and in such communications and related materials and (iii) the Target Companies hereby release any right to assert or waive any privilege related to the communications referenced in this Section 10.16(c) and acknowledge and agree that all such rights shall reside with the Seller Representative. Purchaser acknowledges that any advice given to or communication with any Seller, the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Target Companies) shall not be subject to any joint privilege and shall be owned solely by such Seller, the Seller Representative and any Affiliate of each such party. Purchaser and the Target Companies each hereby acknowledge that each of them have had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Latham & Watkins LLP. To the extent that Purchaser, the Target Companies, or any of their respective Affiliates has or maintains any ownership of the privilege with respect to these communications, they agree, except as may be required by applicable Laws, not to waive or to attempt to waive the privilege without the express written approval of the Seller Representative, any Seller and any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable.
(d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or the Target Companies, on the one hand, and a third party (other than the Seller Representative, any Seller and any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Target Companies)), on the other hand, or any Governmental Authority after the Closing, the Target Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege against such third party to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by or with Latham & Watkins LLP.
(e)      This Section 10.16 is for the benefit of the Seller Representative and Sellers and their respective Affiliates and such Persons are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10.16 . This Section 10.16 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 10.16 may be amended, waived or modified without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative.

45

(b)      All decisions and actions by the Seller Representative will be binding upon each Seller, and no Seller will have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Purchaser will be able to rely conclusively on the written instructions of the Seller Representative as to such decisions and actions taken by the Seller Representative hereunder.

The Seller Representative shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Sellers for reasonable and documented expenses incurred in the performance of its duties hereunder (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of counsel).
(f)      The Seller Representative shall have reasonable access to relevant information about the Target Companies and the reasonable assistance of the Target Companies’ and Purchaser’s employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder; provided that the Seller Representative shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic

This Section 3 shall apply to the Renovation Services and Leasing and Property Management Services provided by Altisource to Residential pursuant to the Renovation SOW and the Property Management SOW, as amended by this Omnibus Amendment.

3.1      AMENDED SERVICE PERIODS FOR RENOVATION SERVICES AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The Service Period for Renovation Services provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Services Letter, the Fee Letter and the Renovation SOW shall end on December 31, 2018 (the “ Renovation Services Amended Service Period ”) unless terminated earlier or extended solely pursuant to this Section 3.1. The Service Period for Property Management Services provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Services Letter, the Fee Letter and the Property Management SOW shall end on December 31, 2018 (the “ Property Management Services Amended Service Period ”) unless terminated earlier or extended solely pursuant to this Section 3.1. So long as the Renovation SOW and the Property Management SOW, as applicable, have not been terminated prior to December 31, 2018, Residential shall have the option to extend the Renovation Services Amended Service Period, the Property Management Services Amended Service Period or both Service Periods (each, an “ Amended Service

4




Period ”) for up to an additional three (3) months by: (a) providing written notice to Altisource of its exercise of such option to extend and setting forth the number of months it desires to extend the applicable Amended Service Period (which, for clarity, shall not exceed three months), at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of each Amended Service Period (the “ Option Exercise Notice ”) and (b) paying to Altisource the Extension Option Amount within five (5) business days of the date of the Option Exercise Notice. The Option Exercise Notice shall set forth the applicable Service(s) for which Residential requires the extension and the number of months of the extension period. The “ Extension Option Amount ” means an amount equal to one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) multiplied by the total number of months of the extension period. For clarity, Altisource shall have no obligation to provide, and Residential hereby waives its rights to request and receive, any and all post-termination services as described in Section 6.5 of the Agreement with respect to the Renovation Services and the Property Management Services beyond the Amended Service Period, as may be adjusted under this Section 3.1.

3.2     RESIDENTIAL OFFERING EMPLOYMENT TO CERTAIN PERSONNEL . Residential shall be permitted to, and shall use good faith efforts to, hire certain of the Altisource personnel that currently are providing Renovation and Property Management Services to Residential (the “ Subject Personnel ”). The first such hire of Subject Personnel shall be made on or before October 1, 2018 (such dates, the “ Permitted Transfer Dates ”) and Residential shall be permitted to hire additional Subject Personnel on additional dates in 2018, provided that in all cases Residential may not hire any additional Subject Personnel at any time later than January 1, 2019 (the “ Final Transfer Date ”). On or prior to the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date, Altisource shall provide a job description, if available, the most recent performance rating and of the Altisource Employees available for hire under this Section 3.2 and will make available an appropriate manger to answer questions regarding the Altisource Employees. Within five (5) business days following the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date, Residential shall provide Altisource with a written proposal of the Subject Personnel to whom it desires to make employment offers and the schedule for such offers on or before October 1, 2018. On or before October 15, 2018, Residential shall provide Altisource with a written proposal of the Subject Personnel to whom it desires to make employment offers after October 1, 2018 and the schedule for such offers. The parties shall diligently discuss each such proposal and use good faith efforts to promptly agree upon the Subject Personnel and the applicable offer schedule. Residential shall provide Altisource with prompt written notice when such offers are communicated to such Subject Personnel. To the extent Residential determines in good faith that the agreed upon Subject Personnel or schedules need to be altered, Residential shall provide prompt written notice to Altisource and diligently engage with Altisource in good faith to agree upon necessary changes. In connection with all Subject Personnel hired by Residential, Residential shall assume, and shall be obligated to pay to such Subject Personnel, all amounts that would have been earned by such Subject Personnel for the remainder of the 2018 calendar year including without limitation, their base salaries, benefits and incentive compensation in amounts at least as much as they would have received pursuant to the applicable Altisource incentive compensation plan had such Subject Personnel remained employed by Altisource as of the date of payment of such compensation. Altisource shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the Subject Personnel during the period commencing on the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date and, in the case of each individual, ending on the earlier of (a) the date such individual is hired by Residential and (b) the Final Transfer Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commercially reasonable efforts shall not include, nor is Altisource under any obligation to, make or provide any

5




increase in compensation, benefits or ancillary perks of, or pay retention bonuses or amounts to, any Subject Personnel or otherwise incur any out-of-pocket costs in connection with the attempted retention of such Subject Personnel (other than payment of salaries of the Subject Personnel as of the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date). Altisource shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Renovation Services and Leasing and Property Management Services pursuant to the Renovation SOW and Property Management SOW, respectively, taking into account the reductions in personnel and reductions of properties to which such SOWs apply, regardless of whether such reductions are caused by a transfer of employment to Residential as contemplated under this Section 3.2, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 below. For clarity, Residential is not permitted to terminate any SOW pursuant Section 6.2.2.4 (Performance Standards) where such failure to achieve any applicable Performance Standards is caused or contributed to by Altisource’s lack or shortage of personnel to perform the Renovation Services or Leasing and Property Management Services.

3.3.     RENTAL PROPERTY TRANSITION SCHEDULE . On or before August 8, 2018, Residential provided Altisource with a written Rental Property transition schedule (the “ Transition Plan ”) pursuant to which Residential provided time frames by which Residential would assume from Altisource all leasing and property management services for the Rental Properties that are subject to the Leasing and Property Management Services SOW (Services Letter – Schedule A-7) following the Omnibus Amendment Effective Date, thereby removing such Rental Properties at the time of transfer from coverage under the Leasing and Property Management Services SOW. Altisource shall use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to assist Residential in meeting the Transition Plan including, without limitation, transferring physical and actual ownership of the historical data with respect to the transitioned properties on or before the time that the properties are transitioned to Residential under the Transition Plan. Residential shall use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to conduct the Rental Property transition in accordance with the Transition Plan. To the extent Residential determines in good faith that the Transition Plan needs to be altered, including due to Altisource’s inability to transfer the historical data with respect to the properties to be transferred, Residential shall provide prompt written notice to Altisource and diligently engage with Altisource in good faith to agree upon necessary changes. Nothing in this Section shall limit, modify, be deemed to conflict with or otherwise relieve Residential’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.1.

Loan Agreement – SFR                Page 21

Prior to the expiration date of each Insurance policy, Borrower will deliver to Lender evidence acceptable to Lender that each Insurance policy has been renewed. If the evidence of a renewal does not include a legible copy of the renewal policy, then Borrower will deliver a legible copy of such renewal policy no later than the earlier of (i) 60 days after the expiration date of the original policy or (ii) the date of any Notice of an insured loss given to Lender under Section 6.10(i).

(h)
Compliance With Insurance Requirements . Borrower will comply with all Insurance requirements and will not permit any condition to exist on any Mortgaged Property that would invalidate any part of any Insurance coverage required under this Loan Agreement.

Obligations Upon Casualty; Proof of Loss .

If an insured loss occurs, then Borrower will give immediate written Notice to the Insurance carrier and to Lender.

(ii)
Borrower will promptly restore or repair the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original condition or to a condition approved by Lender (“ Restoration ”), subject to the limitations of Section 6.09(c)(i).

(iii)
Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney in fact for Borrower to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claims under policies of Property Insurance, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such Property Insurance policies, to collect and receive the proceeds of Property Insurance, to hold the proceeds of Property Insurance, and to deduct from such proceeds Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 6.10 will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.

(j)
Lender’s Options Following a Casualty . Following a casualty, Lender may, at Lender’s option, do any of the following:

(i)
Require a “repair or replacement” settlement, in which case the proceeds will be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration. If Lender determines to require a repair or replacement settlement and to apply Insurance proceeds to Restoration, Lender will apply the proceeds in accordance with Lender’s then-current policies relating to the Restoration of casualty damage on similar residential properties. If Lender retains a professional inspection engineer or other qualified third party to inspect any Restoration items, Lender may charge Borrower an amount sufficient to pay all reasonable costs and expenses charged by such third-party inspector.
(ii)
Require an “actual cash value” settlement, in which case the proceeds may be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due.

(iii)
If, in Lender’s discretion, the cost of Restoration following a casualty will equal or exceed 50% of the Release Amount, then Lender may require Borrower to Transfer the Mortgaged Property to a third-party and pay down the Indebtedness by an amount equal to the Release Amount plus all interest amounts required under the Note in accordance with Section 7.05(b) of this Agreement. If Lender elects to exercise its option under this Section 6.10(j)(iii), then Lender will provide Borrower with Notice that the Mortgaged Property must be Transferred in accordance with Section 7.05(b) no later than 30 days following the date of the Notice.

(k)

Loan Agreement – SFR                Page 22




(i)
If a casualty results in damage to any Mortgaged Property for which the cost of Repairs required to complete the Restoration will be equal to or less than $20,000, Borrower will have the sole right to make proof of loss, adjust and compromise the claim and collect and receive any proceeds directly without the approval or prior consent of Lender so long as the Insurance proceeds are used solely for the Restoration of the applicable Mortgaged Property.

(ii)
If a casualty results in damage to any Mortgaged Property for which the cost of Repairs required to complete the Restoration will be more than $20,000, but less than 50% of the Release Amount for the Mortgaged Property, Borrower is authorized to make proof of loss and adjust and compromise the claim without the prior consent of Lender, and Lender will, at its option, hold the applicable Insurance proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property.
(iii)
If a casualty results in damage to the Mortgaged Property for which the cost of Repairs required to complete the Restoration will be equal to or greater than 50% of the Release Amount for the Mortgaged Property, Borrower must obtain the consent of Lender prior to making any proof of loss or adjusting or compromising the claim, and Lender will, at its option, hold the applicable Insurance proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property.

(m)
Payments After Application of Insurance Proceeds . Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any Insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness will not extend or postpone the due date, or change the amount, of any monthly payments referred to in the Note or Article IV of this Loan Agreement.

Assignment of Insurance Proceeds . Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any Insurance proceeds as Lender may require.

(o)
Borrower Acknowledgment of Lender’s Right to Change Insurance Requirements . Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s Insurance requirements may change from time to time throughout the term of the Indebtedness to include coverage for the kind of risks customarily insured against and in such minimum coverage amounts and maximum deductibles as are generally required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Mortgaged Properties.

(p)
Blanket Policy . The Insurance coverage required by this Section 6.10 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering all the Mortgaged Properties if such blanket policy has been approved in advance by Lender.

6.11

(a)
Borrower’s Obligations Generally . Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing of any action or proceeding or notice relating to any proposed or actual condemnation or other taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof, of all or any part of any Mortgaged Property, whether direct or indirect (“ Condemnation ”).

Loan Agreement – SFR                Page 23



and consistent with commercially reasonable standards of a prudent lender. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 6.11(a) will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Borrower transfers and assigns to Lender all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any award or payment with respect to (i) any Condemnation, or any conveyance in lieu of Condemnation, and (ii) any damage to any Mortgaged Property caused by governmental action that does not result in a Condemnation. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any Condemnation awards or proceeds as Lender may require.

(b)
Lender’s Options Following a Condemnation .

(i)
Following a Condemnation, Lender may, at Lender’s option, (i) hold the Condemnation award or proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property, or (ii) apply the Condemnation award or proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due. Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any Condemnation award to the Indebtedness will not extend or postpone the due date, or change the amount, of any monthly payments referred to in the Note or Article IV of this Loan Agreement.

(ii)
If, in Lender’s discretion, the cost of Restoration following a Condemnation will exceed 50% of the Release Amount, then Lender may require Borrower to Transfer the Mortgaged Property to a third-party and pay down the Indebtedness by an amount equal to the Release Amount plus all interest amounts required under the Note in accordance with Section 7.05(b) of this Agreement.

(iii)
If Lender elects to exercise its option under Section 6.11(b)(ii), then Lender will provide Borrower with Notice that the Mortgaged Property must be Transferred in accordance with Section 7.05(b) no later than 30 days following the date of the Notice.
(c)
Borrower’s Rights Following a Casualty . Subject to Section 6.11, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then following a Condemnation, Borrower may take the following actions:

(i)
If a Condemnation results in proceeds or awards of $20,000 or less, Borrower will have the sole right to make proof of loss, adjust and compromise the claim and collect and receive any proceeds directly without the approval or prior consent of Lender so long as the Insurance proceeds are used solely for the Restoration of the applicable Mortgaged Property.

(ii)
If a Condemnation results in proceeds or awards of more than $20,000, but less than 50% of the Release Amount for the Mortgaged Property, Borrower is authorized to make proof of loss and adjust and compromise the claim without the prior consent of Lender, and Lender will, at its option, hold the applicable Insurance proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the applicable Mortgaged Property.
(iii)

Loan Agreement – SFR                Page 24



(d)
Succession to Condemnation Proceeds . If any Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or Lender acquires title to the Mortgaged Property, then Lender will automatically succeed to all rights of Borrower in and to any Condemnation proceeds and awards prior to such sale or acquisition.

6.12
Environmental Hazards.

(a)
Prohibited Activities and Conditions . Borrower will comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws applicable to any Mortgaged Property and will not cause or permit Prohibited Activities or Conditions.

Borrower’s receipt of or knowledge of any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any tenant, Property Manager, Governmental Authority or other Person with regard to present or future alleged Prohibited Activities or Conditions, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Mortgaged Properties.

(iii)
Borrower’s breach of any of its obligations under this Section 6.12.

Any such Notice given by Borrower will not relieve Borrower of, or result in a waiver of, any obligation under this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document.

(c)
Lender’s Option following a Hazardous Materials Event .

(i)
If notwithstanding Borrower’s obligations under this Section 6.12, Borrower fails to comply with Hazardous Materials Laws applicable to a Mortgaged Property or Prohibited Activities or Conditions exist at a Mortgaged Property (“ Hazardous Materials Event ”), then Lender may require Borrower to Transfer the Mortgaged Property to a third party and pay down the Indebtedness by an amount equal to the Release Amount plus all interest amounts required under the Note in accordance with Section 7.05(b) of this Agreement.

(ii)
If Lender elects to exercise its option under Section 6.12(c)(i), then Lender will provide Borrower with Notice that the Mortgaged Property must be Transferred in accordance with Section 7.05(b) no later than 30 days following the date of the Notice.
(d)
Environmental Inspections, Tests and Audits . Borrower will pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections, tests or audits, a purpose of which is to identify the extent or cause of or potential for a Prohibited Activity or Condition (“ Environmental Inspections ”), required by Lender in connection with any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or as a condition of Lender’s consent to any Transfer under Article VII, or required by Lender following a determination by Lender that Prohibited Activities or Conditions may exist. Any such costs incurred by Lender (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and the costs of technical consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise) that Borrower fails to pay promptly will become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 8.02. As long as: (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Borrower has actually paid for or reimbursed Lender for all costs of any such Environmental Inspections performed or required by Lender, and (iii) Lender is not prohibited by law, contract or otherwise from doing so, Lender will make available to Borrower, without representation of any kind, copies of Environmental Inspections prepared by third parties and delivered to Lender. Lender reserves the right, and Borrower expressly authorizes Lender, to make available to any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender cannot control or otherwise ensure the truthfulness or accuracy of the

Loan Agreement – SFR                Page 25



results of any Environmental Inspections and that the release of such results to prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount that a party may bid at such sale. Borrower agrees that Lender will have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender to any third party, and Borrower releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all claims, damages or causes of action arising out of, connected with or incidental to the results of the delivery of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender.

(e)
Remedial Work . If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, Restoration or other remedial work (“ Remedial Work ”) is necessary to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law or order of any Governmental Authority that has or acquires jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation or improvement of the Mortgaged Property, or is otherwise required by Lender as a consequence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition or to prevent the occurrence of a Prohibited Activity or Condition, then Borrower will, by the earlier of (i) the applicable deadline required by Hazardous Materials Law, or (ii) 30 days after Notice from Lender demanding such action, begin performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion, and must in any event complete the work by the time required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely basis or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, then Lender may, at its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower will reimburse Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender will become part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 8.02.

(g)
Borrower Contest of Order . Notwithstanding Section 6.12(e), Borrower may contest the order of any Governmental Authority in good faith through appropriate proceedings, provided that (i) Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that any delay in completing Remedial Work pending the outcome of such proceedings would not (A) result in damage to the Mortgaged Property or to persons who use or occupy the Improvements or (B) otherwise impair Lender’s interest under this Loan Agreement, and (ii) if any delay in completing the Remedial Work results in a Lien against the Mortgaged Property, Borrower must promptly furnish to Lender a bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount not less than 150% of the claim that underlies the Lien.

Release anyone liable for the payment of any amounts due under any of the Loan Documents.

(iv)
Accept a renewal of the Note.

(v)
Modify the terms and time of payment of the Indebtedness.

(vi)
Join in any extension or subordination agreement.

(vii)
Release any portion of any Mortgaged Property.

(viii)
Take or release other or additional security.

(ix)
Modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the Note or change the amount of the monthly payments payable under the Note.

(x)
Otherwise modify this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document.

(b)
Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise afforded by applicable law will not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy, or the subsequent exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, will not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments on account of the Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Indebtedness will not constitute an election of remedies by Lender so as to preclude the exercise of any other right available to Lender. Lender’s receipt of any awards or proceeds under Sections 6.10 and 6.11 will not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

8.05
Waiver of Marshalling. Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Mortgaged Properties held by Lender or by any other party, Lender will have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties will be subjected to the remedies provided in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law. Lender will have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of such remedies. Borrower and any party who now or in the future owns or acquires a security interest in any Mortgaged Property and who has actual or constructive notice of the Security Instrument waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets or to require that any Mortgaged Property be sold in the inverse order of alienation or that any Mortgaged Property be sold in parcels or as an entirety in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided in this Loan Agreement.

8.06
Severance .


Loan Agreement – SFR                Page 42



(a)
During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender will have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Security Instrument or the Lien of any of the other Loan Documents in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Loan Documents then due and payable as determined by Lender, including the following circumstances: (A) if Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more required payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments or other Loan Documents to recover such delinquent payments, or (B) if Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments or other Loan Documents to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the collateral for the Loan will remain subject to the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of the sums secured by the Loan Documents and not previously recovered.

(b)
During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender will have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, Loan Documents and other security documents in such denominations as Lender will determine for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided under the Loan Documents. Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender will request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney will do by virtue thereof; provided , however , Lender will not make or execute any such documents under such power until three days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.

9.02
Indemnity.

(a)

In any circumstances in which the indemnity under this Article IX applies, Lender may employ its own legal counsel and consultants to prosecute, defend or negotiate any claim or legal or administrative proceeding and Lender, with the prior written consent of Borrower (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may settle or compromise any action or legal or administrative proceeding. However, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or the interests of Borrower and Lender are in conflict, as determined by Lender, Lender will permit Borrower to undertake the actions referenced in this Article IX so long as Lender approves such action, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower will reimburse Lender upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including all costs of settlements entered into in good faith, consultants’ fees and Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.

(e)
Settlement or Compromise of Claims . Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of those Indemnitees who are named as parties to a claim or legal or administrative proceeding (“ Claim ”), settle or compromise the Claim if the settlement (i) results in the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a written release of those Indemnitees, satisfactory in form and substance to Lender, or (ii) may materially and adversely affect Lender, as determined by Lender.

(f)
Effect of Changes to Loan on Indemnification Obligations . Borrower’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees will not be limited or impaired by any of the following, or by any failure of Borrower or any Guarantor to receive notice of or consideration for any of the following:

Any amendment or modification of any Loan Document.

(ii)
Any extensions of time for performance required by any Loan Document.


Loan Agreement – SFR                Page 44

(h)
Other Obligations . The provisions of this Article IX will be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities that Borrower may have under applicable law or under other Loan Documents, and each Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX without regard to whether Lender or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Properties or any of them or any other security, pursued any rights against any Guarantor, or pursued any other rights available under the Loan Documents or applicable law. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, then the obligation of those Persons to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article IX will be joint and several. The obligation of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article IX will survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness, any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the Lien of the Security Instrument. However, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of, or held title to, the Mortgaged Properties or any of them, Borrower will have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article IX after the date of the release of record of the Lien of the Security Instrument by payment in full at the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

ARTICLE X     MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

10.01
Waiver of Statute of Limitations, Offsets and Counterclaims. Borrower waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of this Loan Agreement or the Lien of the Security Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document. Borrower waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations under the Loan Documents will be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments that Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

10.02.   Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. The parties intend that Lender will assign the Loan, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a congressionally-chartered government-sponsored enterprise

Loan Agreement – SFR                Page 45



having its principal place of business in McLean, Virginia. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Borrower submits to the in personam jurisdiction of any federal or state court in (i) any state or jurisdiction in which any Mortgaged Property is located and (ii) the Commonwealth of Virginia with respect to any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any objections Borrower may now or hereafter have to the venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that the same has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing venue provision is integral to Lender’s realization of its rights hereunder. Borrower further acknowledges that it is not in a disparate bargaining position, that it is a commercial enterprise, with sophisticated financial, legal and economic experience, and that the venue selections contained in this Agreement are not unreasonable, unjust, inconvenient or overreaching.

10.03
Notice.

(a)
All Notices under or concerning this Loan Agreement will be in writing. Each Notice will be deemed given on the earliest to occur of: (i) the date when the Notice is received by the addressee, (ii) the first Business Day after the Notice is delivered to a recognized overnight courier service, with arrangements made for payment of charges for next Business Day delivery, or (iii) the third Business Day after the Notice is deposited in the United States mail with postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested. Addresses for Notice are as shown in Article I.

(b)
Any party to this Loan Agreement may change the address to which Notices intended for it are to be directed by means of Notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section 10.03. Each party agrees that it will not refuse or reject delivery of any Notice given in accordance with this Section 10.03, that it will acknowledge, in writing, the receipt of any Notice upon request by the other party and that any Notice that it rejects or refuses will be deemed for purposes of this Section 10.03 to have been received by the rejecting party on the date so refused or rejected, as conclusively established by the records of the U.S. Postal Service or the courier service.

(c)
Any Notice under any other Loan Document that does not specify how Notices are to be given will be given in accordance with this Section 10.03.

10.04
Successors and Assigns Bound. This Loan Agreement will bind the respective successors and assigns of Borrower and Lender, and the rights granted by this Loan Agreement will inure to Lender’s successors and assigns.

10.05
Joint and Several (and Solidary) Liability. If more than one Person signs this Loan Agreement as Borrower, then the obligations of such Persons will be joint and several. For a Mortgaged Property located in Louisiana, if more than one Person signs this Loan Agreement as Borrower, then the obligations of such Persons will be joint and several and solidary, and wherever the phrase “joint and several” appears in this Loan Agreement, the phrase is amended to read “joint, several, and solidary.”

10.06
Relationship of Parties; No Third Party Beneficiary.

(a)
The relationship between Lender and Borrower will be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Loan Agreement will create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement will constitute Lender as a joint venturer, partner or agent of Borrower, or render Lender liable for any debts, obligations, acts, omissions, representations or contracts of Borrower.

(b)
No creditor of any party to this Loan Agreement and no other Person will be a third party beneficiary of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any arrangement between Lender and any Loan Servicer for loss sharing or interim advancement of funds (“ Servicing Arrangement ”) will constitute a contractual obligation of such Loan Servicer that is independent of the obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Indebtedness. Borrower will not be a third party beneficiary of any

Loan Agreement – SFR                Page 46



Servicing Arrangement. No payment by the Loan Servicer under any Servicing Arrangement will reduce the amount of the Indebtedness.

10.07
Subrogation. If the proceeds of the Loan, or subsequent advances under Section 8.02, are used to pay, satisfy or discharge a Prior Lien, then such Loan proceeds or advances will be deemed to have been advanced by Lender at Borrower’s request, and Lender will automatically, and without further action on its part, be subrogated to the rights, including Lien priority, of the owner or holder of the obligation secured by the Prior Lien, whether or not the Prior Lien is released.

10.08
Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Loan Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect. This Loan Agreement contains the entire agreement among the parties as to the rights granted and the obligations assumed in this Loan Agreement.

10.09
Amendments. This Loan Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

10.10
Disclosure of Information; Authorization to Publicly Use Loan Information.

(a)
Borrower acknowledges that Lender may provide to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, evaluation, performance, ownership, purchase, participation or Securitization (if applicable) of the Loan, including any of the Rating Agencies, any entity maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, as well as governmental regulatory agencies having regulatory authority over Lender, any and all information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, a Mortgaged Property, Borrower or any Guarantor, as Lender determines necessary or desirable and that such information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Securitization (if applicable) or syndication of participation interests, including a prospectus, prospectus supplement, offering memorandum, private placement memorandum or similar document (each, a “ Disclosure Document ”) and also may be included in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Borrower irrevocably waives all rights, if any, to prohibit such disclosure, including any right of privacy.

(b)
Borrower agrees that Lender may publicly use, at Lender’s discretion, photographs of the Mortgaged Property, and basic transaction information (for example, the number of units in a Mortgaged Property and the Loan Amount) relating to the Loan.

10.11
Determinations by Lender. In any instance where the consent or approval of Lender may be given or is required, or where Lender is authorized to render any determination, judgment, or decision under this Loan Agreement, the granting, withholding or denial of such consent or approval and the rendering of such determination, judgment or decision will be made or exercised by Lender (or its designated representative) at its option and in its discretion.

10.12
Sale of Note; Change in Loan Servicer; Loan Servicing. The Note or a partial interest in the Note (together with this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents) may be sold one or more times without prior Notice to Borrower. A sale may result in a change of the Loan Servicer. There also may be one or more changes of the Loan Servicer unrelated to a sale of the Note. If there is a change of the Loan Servicer, then Borrower will be given Notice of the change. The Loan Servicer may take all actions regarding the servicing of the Loan unless Borrower receives Notice to the contrary, including the collection of payments, the disbursement and application of Reserve Funds, the giving and receipt of Notice, inspections of the Mortgaged Properties, inspections of Books and Records, and the granting of consents and approvals. If Borrower receives conflicting Notices regarding the identity of the Loan Servicer or any other subject, then any such Notice from Lender will govern.

10.13

10.14
Lender’s Rights to Sell or Securitize. Borrower acknowledges that Lender, and each successor to Lender’s interest, may (without prior Notice to Borrower or Borrower’s prior consent), sell or grant participations in the Loan (or any part of the Loan), sell or subcontract the servicing rights related to the Loan, securitize the Loan or place the Loan in a trust. Borrower, at its expense, agrees to cooperate with all requests of Lender in connection with any of the foregoing including taking the following actions:

At Lender’s request, meet with representatives of the Rating Agencies and/or investors to discuss the business and operations of the Mortgaged Properties.

(b)
Permit Lender or its representatives to provide related information to the Rating Agencies and/or investors.

(b)
Any reference in this Loan Agreement to a statute or regulation will be construed as referring to that statute or regulation as amended from time to time.

Use of the singular in this Loan Agreement includes the plural and use of the plural includes the singular. The use of one gender includes the other gender, as the context may require.

(d)
As used in this Loan Agreement, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to” and the term “includes” means “includes without limitation.”

(e)
Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document in this Loan Agreement will be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth in this Loan Agreement), and (ii) any reference in this Loan Agreement to any Person will be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns.

10.20
Right to Apply Proceeds in Connection with Releases . For so long as the Loan or any portion of the Loan is included in a Securitization, then each of the following will apply:

(a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if any Mortgaged Property is released from the Lien of the Loan in connection with a casualty, Condemnation or Transfer and if the ratio of (A) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to (B) the value of the Mortgaged Properties (taking into account only the related land and buildings and not any personal property or going-concern value), as determined by Lender in its discretion based on a commercially reasonable valuation method permitted in connection with a Securitization, is greater than 125% immediately after such casualty, Condemnation or Transfer and before any Restoration or Repair of any Mortgaged Property (but taking into account any planned Restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property as if such planned Restoration or repair were completed), then Lender will apply any net proceeds or awards from such casualty, Condemnation or Transfer, in full, to the payment of the principal of the Indebtedness whether or not then due and payable, unless Lender has received an opinion of counsel that a different application of such net proceeds or awards will not cause such Securitization to fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to any tax and the net proceeds or awards are applied in the manner specified in such opinion.

(b)
If neither Borrower nor Lender has the right to receive any or all of the net proceeds or awards as a result of the provisions of any agreement affecting any Mortgaged Property (including any condominium document or reciprocal easement agreement) and, therefore cannot apply such net proceeds or awards to the payment of the principal of the Indebtedness as set forth above, then Borrower will prepay the Indebtedness in an amount which Lender, in its discretion, deems necessary to ensure that the Securitization will not fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or be subject to any tax as a result of the casualty, Condemnation, or Transfer.

Front Yard Residential Corporation Announces Transformative Acquisition and Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results

CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands, August 9, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Front Yard Residential Corporation (“Front Yard” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RESI) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of property manager HavenBrook Partners, LLC (“HavenBrook”) as well as the portfolio of 3,236 properties managed by HavenBrook. The Company is also reporting its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2018.

Acquisition of Property Manager and Stabilized Portfolio

Acquired 3,236 single-family rental (“SFR”) homes currently managed by HavenBrook in target markets, growing portfolio to approximately 15,000 homes.
Commenced internalization of the property management function onto the HavenBrook platform.
Plan to transition approximately 4,000 externally managed properties onto internal platform by year end 2018.
Obtained $508.7 million of long-term, fixed rate financing as part of Freddie Mac's affordable SFR pilot program.

On August 8, 2018, Front Yard completed the acquisition of HavenBrook and the 3,236 homes managed by HavenBrook, expanding its SFR portfolio to approximately 15,000 homes. This transaction strengthens the Company’s presence in existing strategic target markets, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Minnesota. The acquisition of HavenBrook provides Front Yard with an internal property manager and the opportunity to build an efficient, scalable platform that will provide its customers with excellent service and allow it to benefit from economies of scale that will enhance long-term shareholder value. The combined purchase price of the properties and the property manager was $485.0 million.

Front Yard also reached an agreement with Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“ASPS”) on August 8, 2018 to acquire certain property management resources owned by ASPS for an aggregate cost of $18 million. The exclusivity provisions with respect to property management have been terminated and, following a short transition period, the existing property management services provided by ASPS will terminate other than with respect to title insurance services and limited non-rental management services. Front Yard intends to combine the resources acquired from ASPS with the HavenBrook platform and to transition the approximately 4,000 properties currently managed by ASPS to the internal property manager by December 31, 2018.

In conjunction with the acquisition of HavenBrook and the new rental properties, Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC (“Berkadia”) provided $508.7 million of 10-year, fixed rate financing (the “FYR SFR Loan Agreement”) as part of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s (“Freddie Mac”) affordable single-family rental pilot program. This financing includes 2,798 of the newly acquired properties as well as 2,015 additional properties already owned by the Company and previously financed on its existing warehouse facilities. Approximately 78% of the homes financed pursuant to the FYR SFR Loan Agreement have rents that are considered affordable for families earning at or below 80% of the area median income (“AMI”). Moreover, approximately 93% of the units are affordable for families earning at or below 100% of AMI.

“The acquisition of HavenBrook and the homes it manages is a milestone in our company’s evolution as the leading affordable housing provider,” said Chief Executive Officer George Ellison. “The acquisition of an internal property manager will allow us to improve the excellent service to our families while providing opportunities to drive efficiencies to increase shareholder value. We are focused on seamlessly and efficiently transitioning properties onto the HavenBrook platform in order to avoid disruptions to the client service experience.”





Second Quarter 2018 Highlights

Full-company Core Funds from Operations per diluted share increased to $0.06 for the second quarter of 2018. 1  
Stabilized Rental Net Operating Income Margin was 65%. 1  
94% of stabilized rentals were leased at June 30, 2018.
190 remaining legacy REOs, down 41% from 320 at March 31, 2018 and down 61% from 490 at December 31, 2017.
65% of funding had fixed or capped rates and 79% had maturities of over three years.

“Our operating metrics continue to be strong,” stated George Ellison. “With the additional scale of the newly acquired homes and the internalization of property management for a significant portion of our portfolio, we expect to continue to deliver operating efficiencies and strong results to our shareholders.”

Front Yard Residential Corporation
Regulation G Requirement: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

In evaluating Front Yard’s financial performance, management reviews Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”), Stabilized Rental Net Operating Income (“Stabilized Rental NOI”) and Stabilized Rental Net Operating Income Margin (“Stabilized Rental NOI Margin”), which exclude certain items from Front Yard’s results under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). FFO, Core FFO, Stabilized Rental NOI and Stabilized Rental NOI Margin are non-GAAP performance measures that Front Yard believes are useful to assist investors in gaining an understanding of the trends and operating metrics for Front Yard’s core business. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, Front Yard’s reported results under U.S. GAAP.

The following provides related definitions of, and a reconciliation of Front Yard’s U.S. GAAP results to FFO, Core FFO, Stabilized Rental NOI and Stabilized Rental NOI Margin for the periods presented:

FFO and Core FFO: FFO is a supplemental performance measure of an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) used by industry analysts and investors in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as GAAP net income or loss excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate and depreciation and amortization on real estate assets adjusted for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments.

We believe that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our overall operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation. Because real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management considers FFO an appropriate supplemental performance measure because it excludes historical cost depreciation, impairment charges and gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated homes from GAAP net income. By excluding depreciation, impairment and gains or losses on sales of real estate, FFO provides a measure of our returns on our investments in real estate assets. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the homes that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures to maintain the operating performance of the homes, all of which have real economic effect and could materially affect our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited.

Our Core FFO begins with FFO and is adjusted for share-based compensation; acquisition fees and costs; non-cash interest expense related to deferred debt issuance costs, amortization of loan discounts and mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate derivatives; and other non-comparable items, as applicable. We believe that Core FFO, when used in conjunction with the results of operations under GAAP, is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance for the same reasons as FFO and is further helpful as it provides a consistent measurement of our performance across reporting periods by removing the impact of certain items that are not comparable from period to period. Because Core FFO, similar to FFO, captures neither the changes in the value of the homes nor the level of capital expenditures to maintain them, the utility of Core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited.

Although management believes that FFO and Core FFO increase our comparability with other companies, these measures may not be comparable to the FFO or Core FFO of other companies because other companies may adopt a definition of FFO other than the NAREIT definition, may apply a different method of determining Core FFO or may utilize metrics other than or in addition to Core FFO.

Stabilized Rental: We define a property as stabilized once it has been renovated and then initially leased or available for rent for a period greater than 90 days. All other homes are considered non-stabilized. Homes are considered stabilized even after subsequent resident turnover. However, homes may be removed from the stabilized home portfolio and placed in the non-stabilized home portfolio due to renovation during the home lifecycle or because they are identified for sale.

Stabilized Rental NOI and Stabilized Rental NOI Margin: Stabilized Rental NOI is a non-GAAP supplemental measure that we define as rental revenues less residential property operating expenses of the stabilized rental properties in our rental portfolio. We define Stabilized Rental NOI Margin as Stabilized Rental NOI divided by rental revenues.

We consider Stabilized Rental NOI and Stabilized Rental NOI Margin to be meaningful supplemental measures of operating performance because they reflect the operating performance of our stabilized properties without allocation of corporate level overhead or general and administrative costs, acquisition fees and other similar costs and provide insight to the ongoing operations of our business. These measures should be used only as supplements to and not substitutes for net income or loss or net cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. These net operating income measures should not be used as indicators of funds available to fund cash needs, including distributions and dividends. Although we may use these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to other REITs, not all REITs may calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same way, and there is no assurance that our calculation is comparable with that of other REITs. While management believes that our calculations are reasonable, there is no standard calculation methodology for Stabilized Rental NOI Margin, and different methodologies could produce materially different results.
