Based on substantive discussions with Altisource prior to entering into our agreements with Black Knight, Ocwen expects to enter into mutually acceptable agreements that provide for Ocwen’s transition to the LoanSphere MSP^® servicing system and the termination of the statement of work for the use of the REALServicing system. Certain services provided by Altisource under these agreements are charged to the borrower and/or mortgage loan investor. Accordingly, such services, while derived from our loan servicing portfolio, are not reported as expenses by Ocwen. These services include residential property valuation, residential property preservation and inspection services, title services and real estate sales-related services. Similar to other vendors, in the event that Altisource’s activities do not comply with the applicable servicing criteria, we could be exposed to liability as the servicer and it could negatively impact our relationships with our servicing clients, borrowers or regulators, among others. Under certain circumstances, we would have recourse under our contractual agreements with Altisource if we were to experience adverse consequences as a result of Altisource’s non-compliance with applicable servicing criteria.
