Item 1.01 Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement

On January 27, 2020, PHH Mortgage Corporation ("PMC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ocwen Financial Corporation ("Ocwen"), entered into a Joinder and Second Amendment Agreement (the "Amendment") among PMC (as successor by merger to Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC), as borrower, Ocwen and PHH Corporation, as guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Barclays Bank PLC, as Administrative Agent. The Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Agreement dated as of December 5, 2016, as amended by a Joinder and Amendment Agreement dated as of March 18, 2019 (as so amended, the "SSTL"). The Amendment provides for a net prepayment of $126.1 million of the outstanding loan amounts as of December 31, 2019 such that the facility has a maximum size and total initial outstanding amount of $200 million. The Amendment also (i) extends the maturity of the remaining outstanding loans under the SSTL to May 15, 2022, (ii) provides that the loans under the SSTL will bear interest at the one, two, three or six month Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate (as defined in the SSTL), at PMC's option, plus a margin of 6.00% per annum for Eurodollar Rate loans or 5.00% per annum for Base Rate loans (increasing to a margin of 6.50% per annum for Eurodollar Rate loans or 5.50% per annum for Base Rate loans on January 27, 2021) and (iii) provides for a prepayment premium of 2.00% until January 27, 2022. The loans under the SSTL are subject to quarterly amortization payments of $5 million.

The SSTL also contains financial covenants that require Ocwen to (a) maintain a loan-to-value ratio (i.e., the ratio of total outstanding loans under the SSTL to certain collateral and other assets) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of not less than 40%; (b) maintain unrestricted cash of not less than $125 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and (c) maintain an unencumbered coverage ratio (i.e., the ratio of unrestricted cash and certain first priority perfected collateral to total outstanding loans under the SSTL) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on or before December 31, 2020 of not less than 2:1 and thereafter, not less than 2.25:1.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
