Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 19, 2013, Walter Investment Management Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the other parties party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement provides for a seven – year secured term loan in an amount of $1.5 billion (the “Secured Term Loan”) (which was borrowed in full on December 19, 2013) and a five-year secured revolving credit facility in an amount of $125.0 million (the “Secured Revolving Facility” and, together with the Secured Term Loan, the “Facilities”). The Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (1) LIBOR plus 3.75% (solely with respect to the Secured Term Loan, with a LIBOR “floor” of 1.00%) or (2) an Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75 % (which interest will be payable at the end of each applicable interest period of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months, as selected by the Company, but at least on a quarterly basis). The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the Secured Revolving Facility. A portion of the Secured Revolving Facility in an amount of up to $25.0 million is available to be used for the issuance of letters of credit.

The Facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and secured by a first priority pledge on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

The Secured Term Loan amortizes in quarterly installments starting with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014 at a rate of 1.0% per annum, and no amortization is required with respect to the Secured Revolving Facility. Mandatory repayment obligations under the Credit Agreement include, subject to exceptions, (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the sale or other disposition of certain assets of the Company and of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, subject to reinvestment rights, (ii) 100% of casualty and condemnation proceeds, subject to reinvestment rights, (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of certain indebtedness and (iv) beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, 50% of the Company’s excess cash flow (with reductions to lower percentages upon the achievement of certain financial ratios).

The Facilities allow the Company to prepay, in whole or in part, the Company’s borrowings outstanding thereunder, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, with prior notice but without premium or penalty other than breakage and redeployment costs except as follows. If the Secured Term Loan is prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced (including by way of amendment) in whole or in part prior to the date that is six months after the closing date of the Credit Agreement concurrently with the incurrence of indebtedness with a lower all-in yield than that of the Secured Term Loan, any amounts so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced will be subject to a prepayment fee of 1.00%.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants and representations and warranties customary for financings of this type, including restrictions on liens, dispositions of assets, fundamental changes, dividends, the ability to incur additional indebtedness, investments, transactions with affiliates, modifications of certain agreements, certain restrictions on subsidiaries, issuance of certain equity interests, changes in lines of business, creation of additional subsidiaries and prepayments of other indebtedness, in each case subject to customary exceptions. The Credit Agreement permits the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including incremental indebtedness) which is secured on a pari passu basis with the Facilities in an amount of $200.0 million plus an unlimited additional amount, subject to compliance with a pro forma first lien secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 3.0 to 1.0 and the incurrence of additional unsecured indebtedness, subject to compliance with a pro forma total leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 4.0 to 1.0. The Secured Revolving Facility also requires the Company to maintain certain leverage ratio and interest expense coverage ratio levels.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for financings of this type, including events of default related to the failure to make payments, incorrect representations, breaches of covenants, defaults under certain other material indebtedness, bankruptcy events, certain ERISA events, actual or purported invalidity of the security agreements or guaranties, material judgments and change of control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the administrative agent and the lenders have the right to terminate all commitments and accelerate all loans under the Credit Agreement, enforce their rights with respect to the collateral and take certain other actions.

Credit Suisse AG, certain of its affiliates and other lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have, from time to time, provided investment banking and advisory services to the Company and/or its affiliates for which they have received customary fees and commissions and such affiliates may provide these services from time to time in the future.

The proceeds of the Credit Agreement were used on December 19, 2013 to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of November 28, 2012, and will be utilized to increase the Company’s liquidity, for other general corporate purposes (including hedging activities and acquisitions) and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement.
