Any reference to the sale, transfer, conveyance or contribution of any Receivable hereunder shall be deemed to also include a reference to a sale, transfer, conveyance or contribution of all rights of the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, to enforce such Receivables under the Servicing Contract..

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

The Aggregate Receivables at any time of determination shall consist of the Initial Receivables and the Additional Receivables sold and/or contributed to the Issuer prior to such time of determination.
(c) With respect to Servicing Advances, one (1) Business Day prior to each Funding Date on which Additional Note Balances are to be purchased or the Initial Note Balance is to be purchased (or, on the Closing Date, to the extent the Initial Funding Date is on the Closing Date), by no later than 12:00 PM Eastern time and, with respect to Delinquency Advances, by no later than 10:00 AM Eastern time (or, in the case of a Delinquency Advance to be made on such Funding Date, such other time as the Servicer, the Seller, the Agent and the Indenture Trustee may mutually agree) on each Funding Date on which Additional Note Balances are to be purchased (or, on the Closing Date, to the extent the Initial Funding Date is on the Closing Date), the Seller shall deliver to the Depositor and the Depositor shall deliver to the Issuer, with copies to the Agent and the Indenture Trustee, a funding notice (such notice, the “Funding Notice”) and a bill of sale (the “Bill of Sale”), in substantially the forms annexed as Exhibits B and C hereto, respectively, with respect to the Receivables to be sold and/or contributed on such Funding Date.

xiii.
The Servicing Contract is in full force and effect and the Seller is not in default thereunder.

If any such representation or warranty pertains to a Receivable (including, but not limited to, the representations under Sections 5.01(a)(iv) and 6.01(a)(iv)), upon the direction of the Agent, unless such breach shall have been cured by the earlier of (i) the Funding Date immediately following the discovery of such breach by the Issuer, the Depositor or the Seller (as applicable), or (ii) thirty (30) days after the earlier to occur of (A) the discovery of such breach by the Issuer, the Depositor or the Seller (as applicable) or (B) receipt of written notice of such breach by the Issuer, the Depositor, the Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Seller (as applicable), the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, shall repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer at the Repurchase Price for such Receivable.

ARTICLE VII.
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES; SECURITY INTEREST

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


16



Section 7.02. Security Interest.

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

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

Exhibit D

FORM OF SUBORDINATED NOTE

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

[_________], 2012

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

D-1



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

D-2



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