Exhibit A Form of Termination Agreement

JV INTERESTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS JV INTERESTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into and effective as of the 15th day of February, 2017 by and among Realogy Services Venture Partner LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), PHH Broker Partner Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Buyer”), and PHH Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“PHH”, and together with Buyer, the “PHH Parties”). Each of Seller, Buyer and PHH is referred to as a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”.

RECITALS

A. Seller owns 49.9% of the outstanding common interests (the “JV Interests”) in PHH Home Loans, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HL”), and Buyer owns 50.1% of the outstanding JV Interests in HL;

B. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Seller desires to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase, all of the JV Interests owned by Seller (the “Purchased Interests”); and

C. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Guaranteed Rate Affinity, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“New JV”), HL and PHH, are entering into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which HL will sell and assign, and New JV will purchase and assume, certain assets and liabilities of HL, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Sales”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, promises and agreements set forth herein and the Asset Purchase Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

I. PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1. Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase and acquire, the Purchased Interests.

1.2. Consideration. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Buyer will, in consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Interests, (a) cause HL to distribute Seller’s pro rata portion of the Distributable Cash in accordance with Section 1.4 and (b) at the Closing, pay or cause to be paid to Seller an amount in cash equal to 49.9% of (x) the Book Equity of HL as of the Closing Date minus (y) the amount of HL’s Mortgage Loans held for sale as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Purchase Price”). On the day that is the 135th day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) following the Final Closing Date (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) (such date, the “Adjustment Date”), Buyer shall pay to Seller an additional

amount in cash equal to (i) 49.9% of the Book Equity of HL as of the Closing Date minus (ii) the amount paid to Seller on the Closing Date pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.2 (the “Post-Closing Adjustment Price”). The amounts payable pursuant to the two preceding sentences are referred to as the “Purchase Price.”

1.3. Closing. (a) The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) will take place by electronic or physical exchange of documents on the 90th day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) following the Final Closing Date (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), assuming all the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article V are satisfied or, if permissible under applicable Law, waived (other than conditions which by their nature can be satisfied only at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof) at such time (the “Closing Date”), unless another date is agreed to in writing by all of the Parties (it being understood, however, that time is of essence with respect to the Closing and that the Parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing to occur as soon as practicable after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Tax and accounting purposes, the Closing will be deemed to occur and be effective as of 12:00:01 a.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”).

(b) Deliveries by Seller. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the PHH Parties, the following:

(i) certificates representing the Purchased Interests (to the extent issued), together with transfer power duly executed in blank;

(ii) a certificate of non-foreign status from Seller, properly completed and duly executed in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2);

(iii) the Termination Agreement, duly executed by Seller and its Affiliates party thereto; and

(iv) the certificate contemplated by Section 5.3(c).

(c) Deliveries by the PHH Parties. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the PHH Parties will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller, the following:

(i) the Closing Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) the Termination Agreement, duly executed by Buyer and its Affiliates party thereto; and

(iii) the certificate contemplated by Section 5.2(c).

(d) On the Adjustment Date, the PHH Parties will deliver, or cause to be delivered to Seller the Post-Closing Adjustment Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller prior to the Closing Date. In the event that there is a dispute between the Parties as to the amount or calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment Price, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable; provided that, if Buyer and Seller are unable to reach agreement within three Business Days following the Adjustment Date, Buyer and Seller shall promptly thereafter jointly retain a nationally recognized and independent accounting firm, who shall not have any material relationship with Buyer or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates (the “Accounting Referee”), and cause such Accounting Referee to promptly review the disputed Post-Closing Adjustment Price amount. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Buyer and Seller, as promptly as practicable, a written report setting forth such calculation, and such report shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller. The amount owing shall be paid as soon as practicable after the Accounting Referee’s decision (and in any event, not later than two Business Days after the delivery of the report). The cost of such review and report shall be borne by HL as Winddown Costs.

1.4. HL Distributions Pending the Closing. While HL will continue to operate in the ordinary course consistent with past practice pending the Closing, during the period from the First Closing Date (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) until the Closing Date, the Parties shall review HL’s Distributable Cash regularly, and in any event on a monthly basis, and the PHH Parties will cause HL to make, at such times as the Parties agree, distributions to its members on a pro rata basis, in accordance with their equity interests in HL, of such amount of Distributable Cash as the Parties may agree. In connection with the foregoing, the PHH Parties will (a) seek in good faith to maximize the amount of Distributable Cash, subject to the on-going operational needs of HL and its Subsidiaries pending the Closing and the need to wind down the operations of HL and its Subsidiaries in a responsible manner, (b) use reasonable best efforts to monetize any remaining assets of HL and its Subsidiaries that are monetizable prior to the Closing, and (c) regularly review the foregoing with Seller.

1.5. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any party making a payment under this Agreement shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such payment any amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, that if any party becomes aware that any amount is required to be so withheld, it shall promptly notify the other party of any such required withholding and the parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith (including by taking all reasonable actions requested by the other party to the extent such actions would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the requested party) to minimize or eliminate such withholding Taxes. Any amounts so withheld, to the extent paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

IV. COVENANTS

4.1. Taxes. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, fifty percent (50%) of all Transfer Taxes shall be borne by each of Seller and Buyer. Seller shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) when due all Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of Transfer Taxes and remit (or cause to be remitted) to the applicable taxing authorities the Transfer Taxes shown to be due in respect of such Tax Returns, and shall provide Buyer proof of such payment. Buyer will reimburse Seller fifty percent (50%) of the amount of any such Transfer Tax within thirty (30) days of Seller’s written demand therefor. Buyer will cooperate with Seller as reasonably requested with respect to the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns.

(b) No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, PHH will provide to Seller, New JV and HL a statement (a “Tax Allocation Statement”) specifying the allocation of the Purchase Price and the Asset Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts) among the assets of HL for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Tax Allocation Statement will be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If Seller disagrees with the Tax Allocation Statement, Seller may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Tax Allocation Statement, deliver a notice (the “Seller Allocation Notice”) to PHH to such effect, specifying those items as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s proposed allocation. If the Seller Allocation Notice is duly delivered, PHH and Seller shall, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts. If PHH and Seller are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause a mutually acceptable internationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disputes. PHH, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm. The Tax Allocation Statement, as it may be adjusted pursuant to any agreement between PHH and Seller or as determined by the Accounting Firm, shall be the “Final Tax Allocation Statement”.

(c) The Parties, New JV, HL and their respective Affiliates agree to treat, for U.S. federal (and applicable U.S. state and local) income tax purposes, (i) the Asset

Sales and the Transactions, together, as sales of partnership interests from Buyer to Guaranteed Rate, Inc. (“GRI”) (and not as sales of the assets of HL), resulting in a technical termination of HL and a close of the partnership taxable year of HL on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code and (ii) any cash distributions by HL to Seller in connection with the Transactions as distributions by a partnership to a partner described in Section 731 of the Code. The Parties, New JV, HL and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate as reasonably requested of each other with respect to the tax reporting of the positions set forth in this Section 4.1(c).

(d) None of the Parties, New JV, HL or their respective Affiliates will, in each case except as required by applicable Law, (i) file any Tax Return on a basis inconsistent with the Final Tax Allocation Statement described in Section 4.1(b) or the tax treatment described in Section 4.1(c) or (ii) take any position in any Tax audit or other proceeding inconsistent with the Final Tax Allocation Statement described in Section 4.1(b) or the tax treatment described in Section 4.1(c).

4.2. Reasonable Best Efforts. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Closing, each of the Parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Law to consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner possible the Transactions, including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Transactions, (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions to consummating the Transactions, (iii) taking all reasonable actions necessary to obtain (and to cooperate with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization, Order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity (which actions will include furnishing all information required in connection with approvals of or filings with any Governmental Entity ) required to be obtained or made by any Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Transactions or the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) taking all reasonable actions necessary to obtain applicable consents, waivers or approvals of any third parties, (v) defending any Actions, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the performance of the obligations hereunder or thereunder, and (vi) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments, documents and waivers necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Each Party will use all reasonable best efforts to fulfill all conditions precedent to the Closing and will not take any action after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any consent, authorization, Order or approval of, or exemption by, any Governmental Entity necessary to be obtained prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will Seller or the PHH Parties, or any of their respective Affiliates be required to make any payments, incur any Liability or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Governmental Entity or any other Person in connection with actions contemplated by this Section 4.2.

(b) Prior to the Closing, each Party will promptly consult with the other Parties with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide the other Parties (or their respective counsel) copies of), all filings made by such Party with any Governmental Entity or any other information supplied by such Party to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Each Party will promptly inform the other Parties of any material communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the Transactions. If any Party or its Representative receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions, such Party will use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other Party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

(c) Each of the Parties will use all reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions. In connection therewith, if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any applicable Law or otherwise seeking to prevent or interfere with the consummation of the Transactions, each of the Parties will cooperate and use all reasonable best efforts to vigorously contest and resist any such Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other Order whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Transactions, including by vigorously pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 4.2 will limit the right of any Party hereto to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1, so long as such Party hereto has, up to the time of termination, complied with its obligations under this Section 4.2.

4.3. Publicity. The initial press release or portion thereof to the extent pertaining to this Agreement and the Transactions will be substantially in the form previously agreed by the PHH Parties and Seller and thereafter none of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates will issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior consultation of the other Parties and giving the other Parties the opportunity to review and comment on such press release or other announcement; provided, however, that no prior consultation with, review by or consent from any Party will be required with respect to any press release or other public statement or portions thereof to the extent relating to the plans, expectations or prospects of a Party following the consummation of the Transactions; provided, further, that this Section 4.3 will not apply to any release or public statement as a Party determines to be required by applicable Law, by any listing agreement with or rules of any applicable national securities exchange, trading market or listing authority, or as may be requested by a Governmental Entity.

4.4. Confidentiality. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 4.3, each of Seller, the PHH Parties and their respective Representatives will treat all nonpublic information relating to the other Parties obtained in connection with this

Agreement and the Transactions as confidential in accordance with the terms of the confidentiality provisions of the Existing HL Agreements, which provisions are hereby incorporated by reference and will continue in full force and effect. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, any such confidentiality agreements or obligations will continue in full force and effect, pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof in accordance with their terms.

4.5. Indemnification.

(a) Obligations of the PHH Parties. From and after the Closing, the PHH Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of:

(i) 100% of any and all Damages suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them resulting from, arising out of or relating to any of the matters set forth on Section 4.5(a)(i) of the PHH Disclosure Letter, and

(ii) 50.1% of (A) any and all Damages suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them resulting from, arising out of or relating to the ownership or operation of HL prior to the Closing, to the extent that such matter is not covered by clause (i) above, and (B) the Winddown Costs.

(b) Obligations of Seller. From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the PHH Indemnified Parties in respect of 49.9% of (A) any and all Damages suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them resulting from, arising out of or relating to the ownership or operation of HL prior to the Closing, to the extent that such matter is not covered by clause (i) of Section 4.5(a), (B) the matters set forth on Section 4.5(a)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, and (C) the Winddown Costs; provided that the foregoing will not limit or otherwise affect the indemnification obligations of the PHH Parties under any Existing HL Agreements.

(c) Letter of Credit. In connection with (i) the matters set forth on Section 4.5(c) of the PHH Disclosure Letter or (ii) other pending or threatened Actions for which Seller or its Affiliates may have joint and several liability with HL or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Specified Actions”), PHH shall provide Seller at the Closing, at PHH’s expense, a standby letter of credit from a nationally recognized banking institution reasonably acceptable to Seller in an amount not less than the amount required pursuant to Section 4.5(c) of the PHH Disclosure Letter, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, which letter of credit shall be for the benefit of the Seller Indemnified Parties and shall provide for payment to the Seller Indemnified Parties of their Damages in the event that the PHH Parties are obligated to make a payment, but fail to make such payment, to a Seller Indemnified Party for Damages in respect of the indemnification provided in Section 4.5(a). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the provision of such a letter of credit shall in no event relieve the PHH Parties of their indemnification obligations hereunder and shall not result in a cap on their Liabilities with respect thereto and (ii) reductions in the letter of credit shall be managed as set forth in Section 4.5(c) of the PHH Disclosure Letter.

(d) Procedures For Third Party Claims. Each Person seeking indemnification under this Article IV (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by any third party (“Third Party Claim”), provided, however, that the failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure, and then only to the extent of such prejudice. Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before entering into any settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required for any such settlement if (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by any Indemnifying Party, and (ii) the settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all Liability relating to claims that are the subject matter of the Third Party Claim and does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. In the event the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or there is otherwise an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will have the right, at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable expense, to select separate counsel and to otherwise separately defend itself but will not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate and cause its Affiliates to cooperate in good faith with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(e) Procedures for Direct Claims. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 4.5(a) or Section 4.5(b) against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing, and as promptly as practicable, of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall in no event be delivered to the Indemnifying Party later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party first learns of the facts on which such claim is based (such 30 day period, the “Notice Period”). Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification and the amount of such Damages incurred or that such Indemnified Party reasonably estimates in good faith is likely to be incurred in connection with such claim (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable within the Notice Period shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure shall have actually and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

4.6. Waiver of Certain Provisions under the Existing HL Agreements. Each Party hereby waives any obligation or provision of any Existing HL Agreement that would otherwise prevent, limit or restrict any Party or its Affiliates from entering into or consummating any transactions contemplated under this Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement or the operating agreement of the New JV with GRI; provided that such waiver will terminate automatically if either this Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason.

4.7. Existing HL Agreements. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that all indemnification provisions under the Existing HL Agreements shall survive and shall remain in full force and effect prior to and after the Closing.

4.8. Management Services Agreement. With respect to the fees payable by HL to PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PMC”) under the Management Services Agreement, the Parties hereby agree that, commencing with the First Closing (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), the fixed and variable charges and fees paid thereunder shall be as set forth in Section 4.8 of the PHH Disclosure Letter; provided, however, that (1) if the period between any two Closings (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) is greater than one month, the fee specified to apply for the earlier of the two Closings shall continue to apply, (2) subject to clause (1), if the Closing occurs in the middle of a month, the average of the applicable charges and fees will be paid, and (3) notwithstanding clauses (1) and (2), the fixed charges for Other G&A and Sales Management & Other Direct Support charges will be adjusted based on when those employees and resources are actually transitioned to the New JV. For the avoidance of doubt, the monthly Mt. Laurel rent charge will continue to be paid as well through the Final Closing Date.

5.2. Conditions to Obligations of Seller. The obligation of Seller to effect the Closing is further subject to the satisfaction, or waiver (to the extent permitted by Law) by Seller, of the following conditions:

(a) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the PHH Parties set forth in Article III of this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects both when made and at and as of the Closing Date, as if made at and as of such time (except to the extent expressly made only as of a specific date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct as of such specified date), except in the case of any representation and warranty (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.6) where the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of the PHH Parties to consummate the Transactions.

(b) Performance of Obligations of the PHH Parties. The PHH Parties shall have in all material respects performed or complied with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or on the Closing Date.

(c) Officer’s Certificate. Buyer shall have furnished Seller with a certificate dated the Closing Date signed on its behalf by a senior executive officer to the effect that the conditions set forth in Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b) have been satisfied.

(b) Performance of Obligations of Seller. Seller shall have in all material respects performed or complied with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or on the Closing Date.

None of the Parties may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, as the case may be, to be satisfied to excuse it from its obligation to effect the Closing if such failure was caused by such Party’s failure to comply with its obligations to consummate the Transactions to the extent required by this Agreement.

VI. TERMINATION

6.1. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date in the following circumstances:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Parties;

No Party claiming that such breach occurred will have any duty or otherwise be obligated to mitigate any such damages.

(b) Upon termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement under any of the circumstances specified under Section 6.2(c) thereof, Buyer shall, automatically and without any further action of the Parties, be deemed to have immediately, irrevocably and unconditionally waived (i) the requirement that Seller have given a “Two-Year Termination Notice” to Buyer prior to exercising Seller’s rights under Section 8.4 of the HL Operating Agreement, and Seller shall have the right to put its interests in HL for Fair Market Value, without any waiting period (to the same extent as if the Two-Year Termination Notice had been provided and the two-year waiting period had already

expired) and (ii) any provision or restriction under the HL Operating Agreement that would otherwise limit or restrict Seller or its Affiliates from entering into any joint venture, directly or indirectly, with any third party (including Galaxy).

(b) All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the Closing Date, will survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

will be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any other court.

7.6. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each of the other Parties. For purposes of this Agreement, facsimile signatures will be deemed originals, and the Parties agree to exchange original signatures as promptly as possible if request by a Party.

7.7. Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Seller Disclosure Letter and the PHH Disclosure Letter), the other Transaction Documents, the Asset Purchase Agreement and the agreements referenced therein, and any confidentiality agreement or obligation between the Parties under the Existing HL Agreements (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) except for the Indemnified Parties under Article IV, is not intended to and will not confer upon any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement, and their permitted assigns any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without notice or Liability to any other Person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties and may be qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the text of this Agreement. Accordingly, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

7.8. Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform its obligations under

this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) each Party will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, no Party would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any Party entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.8 will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction and any Party against whom such injunction is entered expressly waives any bond or security in connection therewith.

7.9. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

7.10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, void or unenforceable, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible and the Parties agree that the court making such determination will have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

7.11. Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Non-Assertion of Attorney Client Privilege. Each of the PHH Parties waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to any representation, before or after the Closing, of Seller or any of its Affiliate, or any of their respective officers, employees, directors or managers, in any matter involving this Agreement, or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including any litigation, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding), by any legal counsel (including Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP) that has represented any such

Party prior the Closing. Each of the PHH Parties waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication occurring on or prior to the Closing between any legal counsel and Seller or any of its Affiliate, or any of their respective officers, employees, directors and managers, it being the intention of the Parties that all such rights to such attorney-client privilege and to control such attorney-client privilege will be retained by Seller, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, directors or managers.

7.12. Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated, by operation of Law or otherwise, by Seller without the prior written consent of the PHH Parties.

7.13. Damages. No Party or any of its current, former or future Representatives or Affiliates shall be liable for any special, punitive, consequential, indirect or exemplary damages, diminution in value, lost profits or similar items arising out of or in connection with any breach of a post-Closing obligation under this Agreement, provided, however, that such limitation will not be applicable with respect to (a) any Damages paid to a third party in connection with a third party claim, (b) any Damages that are imposed by a Governmental Entity in connection with a breach of applicable Law, or (c) indemnification rights under any Existing HL Agreement or this Agreement.

7.14. PHH Guaranty of Buyer Obligations. (a) PHH guarantees, absolutely and unconditionally and as a primary obligation (and not as surety only) that Buyer shall fully, completely and timely pay and perform all of its obligations and liabilities described in this Agreement and the Termination Agreement, in each case, strictly in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). If Buyer fails or refuses to pay or perform any such obligations and liabilities, PHH shall, without any notice or demand whatsoever, immediately pay or perform such obligations, as applicable. PHH agrees that this guarantee constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection. PHH hereby expressly waives (to the fullest extent permitted by Law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by Law, all notices whatsoever (except as otherwise required to be provided to Buyer hereunder), and any requirement that any Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Buyer under this Agreement or the Termination Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) to the extent that Buyer is relieved of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, PHH and its Subsidiaries shall be similarly relieved of their corresponding obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) PHH may assert, as a defense to, or release or discharge of, any obligation of such Party under this Agreement, any claim, defense or release that Buyer could assert against Seller under the Asset Purchase Agreement or the Termination Agreement, as the case may be.

(c) This Section 7.14 shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or (ii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1.
