Lewisville, Texas 75067

Attention: General Counsel

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (i) the Residential Servicing Asset Purchase Agreement entered into as of March 6, 2012, by and among Aurora Bank FSB, a federal savings bank organized under the laws of the United States, Aurora Loan Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Nationstar Mortgage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchase Agreement”), (ii) the related Interim Servicing Agreement entered into as of March 6, 2012, by and among Sellers and Purchaser (such agreement, the “Interim Servicing Agreement”) and (iii) that certain letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof and between the parties hereto, relating to the amendments to the Purchase Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement to provide for separate closings of the Purchased Assets (the “Bifurcation Letter Agreement”). Except as otherwise provided in this letter agreement, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Bifurcation Letter Agreement.

The Parties have been discussing amending the Purchase Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement in order to provide for subservicing by the Sellers of the Serviced Mortgage Loans relating to the Purchased Assets that are not Agency Purchased Assets. In connection with the foregoing, the Parties hereby agree to the following principal terms:

Section 7.10(b)(ii), Section 7.10(b)(iii) and Section 8.02(e) of the Purchase Agreement shall be deleted.

From the date hereof through the Second Closing Date, Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Servicing Agreement Consents, including, without limitation, any PSA Amendments that are necessary to cause a Servicing Agreement or Subservicing Agreement to be deemed an Eligible Servicing Agreement, which PSA Amendments shall, if necessary, be through an agreement, consent or other instrument that is separate from any Servicing Agreement Consent.

Regardless of the dates on which the First Closing and Second Closing actually occur, the purchase price for the Servicing Rights included in the Agency Purchased Assets and the Non-Agency Purchased Assets shall be calculated based on the unpaid principal balance of the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans as of the close of business on May 31, 2012.

Regardless of the dates on which the First Closing and Second Closing actually occur, commencing on June 1, 2012, Purchaser shall be entitled to all Servicing Compensation, Late Fees, Ancillary Income, Deferred Servicing Fees and any fees or other income or compensation payable to the servicing rights owner, solely in its capacity as such, under the Servicing Rights Agreements, that is earned or assessed on or after such date. If the Second Closing occurs, a reasonable estimate of the foregoing items through the Business Day that is four (4) Business Days prior to the Second Closing Date will be included in the Pre-Closing Statement for inclusion in the Closing Date Payment to be made at the Second Closing, which shall be subject to the post-Closing purchase price adjustment set forth in Section 2.04 of the Purchase Agreement.

At the Second Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall enter into an Agreement Regarding Servicing and Servicing Rights Ownership, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to negotiation in good faith of final terms.

Following the Second Closing Date, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Servicing Agreement Consent that has not been obtained as of the Second Closing Date, and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection therewith.

The Interim Servicing Agreement shall terminate on July 3, 2012, and the aggregate amount of fees payable by Purchaser to Sellers thereunder shall equal the Fixed Fee (as defined in the Interim Servicing Agreement); provided, that if the Second Closing does not occur for any reason other than a breach by Purchaser of any of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Fixed Fee shall be reduced to be an amount equal to (i) $17,500,000 multiplied by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the total unpaid principal balance of the Serviced Mortgage Loans that are related to the Agency Purchased Assets by the total unpaid principal balance of all Serviced Mortgage Loans as of May 31, 2012.

The Parties further hereby agree to negotiate in good faith such amendments and modifications to the Purchase Agreement, the Schedules attached to the Purchase Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement as are necessary to effect the foregoing. Except to the extent required to be amended in order to effect the foregoing, the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without amendment or modification.

This letter agreement may not be modified or changed except by an instrument in writing duly executed by all the parties hereto. This letter agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of New York, without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws, other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law. If any provision of this letter agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this letter agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered by receipted hand delivery or mailed by prepaid registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or by recognized overnight courier addressed as provided in the Purchase Agreement, and any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given: (i) as of the date delivered by hand; (ii) three (3) Business Days after being delivered to the U.S. mail, postage prepaid; or (iii) one (1) Business Day after being delivered to the overnight courier. This letter agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this letter agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this letter agreement is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under or by reason of this letter agreement.

WHEREAS, certain Servicing Agreements require that a transfer of servicing thereunder, as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, must be preceded by a letter from each applicable Rating Agency (as defined in each Servicing Agreement) to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the related Certificates, Notes or Securities, as applicable, relating to such Servicing Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, with respect to each Servicing Agreement referenced in the preceding paragraph, one or more of the Rating Agencies have not provided the letter referred to above;

WHEREAS, each Servicing Agreement permits the Servicer to utilize one or more subservicers to perform its servicing obligations thereunder;

WHEREAS, with respect to each Servicing Agreement, the Servicing Rights Owner desires that the Servicer continue to act as servicer under such Servicing Agreement, and that the Servicer appoint the Subservicer to subservice the related Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Servicer, until such time as the Required Assignment Consent Parties have consented to the transfer of servicing; and

WHEREAS, the Servicer is willing to engage the Subservicer to perform its servicing obligations under the Servicing Agreements, and the Subservicer is willing to accept such engagement, in each case subject to the terms of this Agreement.

THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in each Servicing Agreement, as applicable thereto.

2. Subservicer Duties. Subject to Section 3 hereunder, the Subservicer agrees to perform all of the duties, obligations and covenants of the Servicer under each Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are subject thereto, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement, as if the Subservicer were a party thereto and acting thereunder in the capacity of “Servicer,” and in each case in accordance with Section 7.10(w) of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

3. Advancing. (a) Whenever a Monthly Advance (or similar advance of delinquent principal and interest typically referred to as a “delinquency advance,” “monthly advance” or “P&I advance”) or Servicing Advance (or similar advance typically referred to as a “servicing advance”; hereinafter any reference to “Monthly Advance” and “Servicing Advance” shall be deemed to include, respectively such other similar advances) is required to be made under a Servicing Agreement, the Subservicer shall fund the amount of such Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance as required pursuant to such Servicing Agreement.
