Time-based vesting schedule and Market performance-based vesting date18 
Vest over four years with 25% vesting on each of the four anniversaries of the grant date. However, none are considered vested until the first trading day (if any) on or before the 4th anniversary of the award date on which the average stock price equals or exceeds the price set in the individual award agreement, at which time all units that have met their time-based vesting schedule vest immediately with the remainder vesting in accordance with their time-based schedule.
Time-based vesting schedule and Market performance-based vesting date26 
Cliff-vest 100% after three years. Vesting of units credited based on Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for any performance period is subject to continued service through the third anniversary of the grant. There is no interim or ratable vesting. The number of performance-based awards that will vest is determined by Ocwen’s TSR, either absolute or relative to Ocwen’s compensation peer group, during each performance period.

(1)Upon the resignation of Ocwen’s former CEO on June 30, 2018, 25,168 unvested stock units which would have been forfeited immediately were modified to allow continued vesting in accordance with the original terms. This had the equivalent effect of canceling the original award and granting a new award.
(2)Stock units granted in 2020 and 2019 include 150,000 and 75,377 units, respectively, granted to Ocwen’s CEO under the new long-term incentive (LTI) program described below. Stock units granted in 2018 include 65,534 units granted to Ocwen’s current CEO on the effective date of his employment, which was the closing date of the PHH acquisition.
(3)The total intrinsic value of stock units vested, which is defined as the market value of the stock on the date of vesting, was $1.0 million, $2.1 million and $3.3 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(4)The total fair value of the stock units that vested during 2020, 2019 and 2018, based on grant-date fair value, was $2.7 million, $3.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
(5)Excluding the 125,395 market-based stock awards that have not met their performance criteria, the net aggregate intrinsic value of stock awards outstanding at December 31, 2020 was $3.9 million. At December 31, 2020, 2,666, 6,201 and 3,840 stock units with a market condition for vesting based on an average common stock trading price of $175.80, $87.00 and $65.10, respectively, as well as 37,688 stock units requiring an average common stock trading price of $38.34 to vest a minimum of 50% of units, had not yet met the market
condition (and time-vesting requirements, where applicable). The performance for 75,000 stock units is measured based on TSR relative to Ocwen’s compensation peer group TSR over the four performance periods.

$22.95 - $44.40
$27.60 - $72.00
(1)We generally estimate volatility based on the historical volatility of Ocwen’s common stock over the most recent period that corresponds with the estimated expected life of the option. For awards valued using a Monte Carlo simulation, volatility is computed as a blend of historical volatility and implied volatility based on traded options on Ocwen’s common stock.
(2)For the options valued using the Black-Scholes model we determined the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual term, exercise patterns and post vesting forfeitures. The expected term of the options valued using the lattice (binomial) model is derived from the output of the model. The lattice (binomial) model incorporates exercise assumptions based on analysis of historical data. For all options, the expected life represents the period of time that options granted were expected to be outstanding at the date of the award. No option awards were granted during the year ended December 31, 2020.
(3)The stock units that contain both a service condition and a market-based condition are valued using the Monte Carlo simulation. The expected term is derived from the output of the simulation and represents the expected time to meet the market-based vesting condition. For equity awards with both service and market conditions, the requisite service period is the longer of the derived or explicit service period. In this case, the explicit service condition (vesting period) is the requisite service period, and the graded vesting method is used for expense recognition.
