Amendment No. 1 to Third Amended and Restated Indenture Supplement

On October 16, 2015, New Residential Investment Corp. (the “Company”), HLSS Servicer Advance Receivables Trust (“HSART”), Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, HLSS Holdings, LLC, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC and Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Series 2012-VF3 Indenture Supplement, dated as of August 28, 2015, to the Sixth Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of January 17, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of May 5, 2015. A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Amendment provides that, for purposes of the Series 2012-VF3 Notes issued by HSART, the advance rates in respect of the receivables securing the Series 2012-VF3 Notes will equal 0% if the maximum capacity of the Series 2012-VF3 variable funding notes (the “Maximum VFN Principal Balance”) is equal to zero. The effect of Amendment is to cause the failure of the facility’s collateralization requirement (the “Collateral Test”) if any outstanding principal balance on the Series 2012-VF3 Notes remains after the Maximum VFN Principal Balance is reduced to zero. The failure of the Collateral Test on certain testing dates will result in an event of default in respect of all notes issued by HSART.
