Walter Investment Management Corp.
2016 Long Term Incentive
Cash-Based Award Agreement
Under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated June 9, 2016)

Pursuant to that certain employment agreement, dated as of August 8, 2016 (as it may be further amended and restated, the “Employment Agreement”), between you and Walter Investment Management Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), the Company agreed to grant you a long term incentive cash-based award with an aggregate value equal to $600,000 (the “Cash-Based Award”) in connection with your assumption of responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company on the Commencement Date (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

This Cash-Based Award Agreement (as it may be further amended and restated, this “Agreement”) under the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated June 9, 2016) (as it may be further amended and restated, the “Plan”), together with the Plan, contains the terms and conditions of the Award and is in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to grant the Award to you as set forth in the Employment Agreement.

Participant: Anthony Renzi_______________________________________

Commencement Date: September 12, 2016___________________________

Amount of Cash-Based Award:$ 600,000___________________________

Vesting Dates: The first, second, and third anniversaries of the Commencement Date, subject to Section 1 below.

THIS AGREEMENT, effective as of the Commencement Date, represents the grant of a Cash-Based Award by the Company to the Participant named above, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement.

The Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the Cash-Based Award provided for in the Employment Agreement and this Agreement to the Participant, pursuant to the Plan and the terms of this Agreement.

The Plan provides a complete description of the terms and conditions governing this Cash-Based Award. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, other than with respect to the definitions of the terms “Cause” and “Disability” as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, the Plan’s terms shall completely supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Agreement. All capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or on Exhibit A hereto, unless specifically set forth otherwise herein. The parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Employment with the Company. Except as may otherwise be provided in Section 4 or Section 5 below, the Cash-Based Award granted hereunder will become vested in substantially equal installments subject to the condition that the Participant remains an employee of the Company from the Commencement Date through (and including) each applicable Vesting Date; provided, that if

1

the amount is not evenly divisible by three, then the installments shall be as equal as possible with the smaller installment(s) vesting first. If the Participant remains employed by the Company through each applicable Vesting Date, payment of the relevant installment of the Cash-Based Award will occur irrespective of whether the Participant is employed by the Company on the payment date. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in the Employment Agreement, this grant of the Cash-Based Award shall not confer any right to the Participant to be granted other Cash-Based Awards in the future under the Plan.

2. Timing of Payout. Cash payments in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations with respect to any vested installment of the Cash-Based Award shall occur as soon as administratively feasible after (but in all events prior to March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the applicable event occurs) the earliest to occur of (a) the applicable Vesting Date, (b) the date of the Participant’s termination of employment due to death or Disability, (c) the date of the Participant’s termination of employment (x) by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), (y) by the Company due to non-renewal of the term of employment under the Employment Agreement, or (z) by the Participant for Good Reason, or (d) a Change in Control; unless, in the case of (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 2, the Participant irrevocably elects to voluntarily defer the payout of the Cash-Based Award to a specific date or event as approved by the Committee and in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

3. Form of Payout. The Cash-Based Award shall be paid out solely in the form of United States dollars.

4. Termination of Employment.

(a) By Death or Disability. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates due to the Participant’s death or Disability, in each case, prior to the final Vesting Date, any unvested portion of the Cash-Based Award shall become immediately fully vested and paid out in accordance with Section 2 above.

(b) By the Company Without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), due to Non-Renewal of the Term of Employment by the Company, or by the Participant for Good Reason. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), (ii) by the Company due to non-renewal of the term of employment under the Employment Agreement, or (iii) by the Participant for Good Reason, in each case, prior to the final Vesting Date, any unvested portion of the Cash-Based Award shall become immediately fully vested and paid out in accordance with Section 2 above.

(c) For Cause. In the event the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause prior to the final Vesting Date (or the payout date relating to a Vesting Date), the Participant shall forfeit any unvested portion of the Cash-Based Award.

(d) For Other Reasons. If the Participant’s employment terminates for any reason prior to the final Vesting Date (other than as provided for above), the Participant shall forfeit any unvested portion of the Cash-Based Award.

5. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control that occurs prior to the final Vesting Date (or the payout date relating to the final Vesting Date), and provided that prior to such Change in Control the Participant’s employment with

2

the Company has not terminated, any unvested portion of the Cash-Based Award shall become immediately fully vested and paid out in accordance with Section 2 above.

6. Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of the Participant’s death before the Participant receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Secretary of the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

7. Continuation of Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right to continued employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the Company’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment with the Company at any time.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant.

(b) With the approval of the Board, the Committee may terminate, amend, or modify this Agreement; provided, however, that no such termination, amendment, or modification of this Agreement may in any material way adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, without the written consent of the Participant.

(c) The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold from the Participant’s Cash-Based Award, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum statutory required withholding for federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation), domestic or foreign, required by law to be withheld with respect to any payout to the Participant under this Agreement.

(d) This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company regarding the Cash-Based Award. This Agreement and the Plan supersede any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Cash-Based Award, including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement.

(e) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement with respect to the Cash-Based Award shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect merger, consolidation, acquisition, purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, or otherwise.

(f) To the extent not preempted by federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Maryland.

3

(g) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement with respect to the Cash-Based Award be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in accordance therewith.

(h) To the extent any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected by such holding and shall continue in full force in accordance with their terms.

(i) Notice hereunder shall be given to the Company at its principal place of business, and shall be given to the Participant at the address set forth below, or in either case at such addresses as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.

(j) This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
