7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2026
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. INTEREST.

Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 15, 2021 3. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on March 1 or September 1 (each, a “Record Date”) (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest will be made at the Trustee’s corporate trust office in the United States, provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent at least ten business days prior to such date. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of March 4, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer, Ocwen Financial Corporation, a Florida corporation (the “Parent”), the other Guarantor signatory thereto (together, with the Parent, the “Guarantors”), the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer designated as its 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 4.09 of the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
7. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) at a purchase price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of the Notes purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). The Change of Control Offer shall be made in accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture.
(b) If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummate an Asset Sale, other than a Required Asset Sale, within 30 days after each date that the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds from such Asset Sales exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of Pari Passu Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds (an “Asset Sale Offer”) in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture.

11. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known by or written notice thereof has been received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee if given by the Holders specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note held by a non-consenting Holder (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer). The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required within five Business Days after becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default and the status thereof.

15. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption, Change of Control Offers and Asset Sale Offers as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any such notice and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or repurchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
