Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have advised each of Credit Suisse AG (acting through such of its affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate, “CS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS Securities” and, together with CS and their respective affiliates, “Credit Suisse”), Jefferies Finance LLC (“Jefferies”), Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch (“DBCI”), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”, together with DBCI, “DB”), HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC Bank”) and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. (“HSBC Securities” and, together with HSBC Bank, “HSBC” and, together with Credit Suisse, Jefferies, DB, HSBC and any Additional Commitment Party (as defined below), collectively, the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that Wand Merger Corporation (“Buyer” or “Borrower”), an affiliate of WMIH Corp. (“WMIH”; WMIH together with Buyer, “you”), intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”), directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity interests of the entity previously identified to us by you as “Eclipse”, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). You have further advised us that, in connection with the foregoing, you intend to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Description or Exhibit B (the “Term Sheet”; this commitment letter, the Transaction Description, the Term Sheet and the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”).

You have further advised us that, in connection therewith, it is intended that the financing for the Transactions will include either (x) up to $2,750 million in aggregate principal amount of senior

---

unsecured notes (the “Senior Unsecured Notes” or the “Notes”) in a Rule 144A private placement or (y) if all or any portion of the Senior Unsecured Notes are not issued by the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), up to $2,750 million of senior unsecured increasing rate loans (the “Bridge Loans”), under the senior unsecured credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”) described in the Term Sheet.

In connection with the foregoing, Credit Suisse is pleased to advise you of its several and not joint commitment to provide 35%, Jefferies is pleased to advise you of its several and not joint commitment to provide 27.5%, DBCI is pleased to advise you of its several and not joint commitment to provide 25% and HSBC Bank is pleased to advise you of its several and not joint commitment to provide 12.5%, subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto (in each case, limited on the Closing Date (as defined below) as indicated therein) and in Exhibit C hereto. Credit Suisse, Jefferies, DBCI and HSBC Bank are referred to herein as the “Initial Lenders”.

It is agreed that (i) each of CS Securities, Jefferies (acting through any of its affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate), DBSI and HSBC Securities will act as a lead arranger for the Bridge Facility (each in such capacity, a “Lead Arranger”) and (ii) Credit Suisse will act as administrative agent for the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent). It is further agreed that CS Securities shall have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Bridge Facility. Within 15 business days after the date of this Commitment Letter, you may appoint additional joint lead arrangers, joint bookrunners agents, co-agents or co-managers (any such arranger, bookrunner, agent, co-agent or co-manager, an “Additional Commitment Party”) or confer other titles in respect of the Bridge Facility in a manner and with economics determined by you (it being understood that, to the extent you appoint Additional Commitment Parties or confer other titles in respect of the Bridge Facility, the economics allocated to, and the amount of the commitments of, the Commitment Parties in respect of the Bridge Facility will be ratably reduced by the economics allocated to and the amount of the commitments of such appointed entities upon the execution by such financial institution of customary joinder documentation and, thereafter, each such financial institution shall constitute a “Commitment Party” and “Initial Lender” hereunder and under the Fee Letter); provided that the Initial Lenders on the date hereof shall have not less than 75.0% of the total economics for the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date. Except as provided in this paragraph, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below and other than in connection with any Additional Commitment Party) will be paid to any Lender in order to obtain its commitment to participate in the Bridge Facility unless you and the Commitment Parties shall so agree. The respective commitments of the Initial Lenders shall be several and not joint.

The Lead Arrangers reserve the right, prior to or after the execution of the Bridge Facility Documentation (as defined in Exhibit B), which we agree will be initially drafted by your counsel, to syndicate all or a portion of the Initial Lenders’ respective commitments hereunder to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders identified by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to them and you with respect to the identity of such lenders (your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) including, without limitation, any relationship lenders designated by you and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers (such banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders, together with the Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”); provided that, notwithstanding each Lead Arranger’s right to syndicate the Bridge Facility and receive commitments with respect thereto (but subject to the fourth paragraph of this Commitment Letter), it is agreed that (i) syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, all or any portion of an Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder prior to the date of the consummation of the Acquisition and the date of the initial funding under the Bridge Facility (the date of such funding or issuance of Senior Unsecured

Notes, the “Closing Date”)shall not be a condition to such Initial Lender’s commitments; (ii) except as provided above with respect to appointment of Additional Commitment Parties, no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Bridge Facility, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the initial funding of the Bridge Facility has occurred; (iii) no assignment or novation shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of any Initial Lender’s commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility until after the initial funding of the Bridge Facility; (iv) unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Commitment Party shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred; and (v) we will not syndicate our commitments to certain banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors (a) that have been separately identified in writing by you or the Sponsor to us prior to the date hereof (or, if after such date, that are reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers holding a majority of the aggregate amount of outstanding financing commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility on the date hereof (the “Majority Lead Arrangers”), (b) those persons who are competitors of the Borrower or the Company and their respective subsidiaries that are separately identified in writing by you or the Sponsor to us from time to time, and (c) in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), any of their affiliates (other than bona fide debt fund affiliates) that are either (x) identified in writing by you or the Sponsor from time to time or (y) clearly identifiable on the basis of such affiliate’s name (clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, collectively “Disqualified Lenders”); provided that designations of Disqualified Lenders may not apply retroactively to disqualify any entity that has previously acquired an assignment or participation in the Bridge Facility.

Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, the Bridge Facility and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Bridge Facility constitute a condition to the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date. The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution by each party of this Commitment Letter and as part of their syndication efforts, it is their intent to have Lenders commit to the Bridge Facility prior to the Closing Date (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph). You agree actively to assist the Lead Arrangers, until the earlier to occur of (i) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (ii) 30 days after the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), in completing a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to them and you. Such assistance shall include, without limitation, (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships and the existing lending and investment banking relationships of KKR and its affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor”) and, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, the Company, (b) direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of you and the Sponsor, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand (and your using commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to ensure such contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of the Company, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), in all such cases at times and places mutually agreed upon, (c) your and the Sponsor’s assistance, and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, in the preparation of customary confidential information memorandum for the Bridge Facility (any such memorandum, a “Confidential Information Memorandum”) and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndications, in each case, in a form consistent with the materials used by other portfolio companies of the Sponsor in connection with the syndications of bridge facilities and using commercially reasonable efforts to provide information and other customary materials reasonably requested in connection with such Confidential

Information Memorandum no less than 15 consecutive business days prior to the Closing Date, (d) using your commercially reasonable efforts to procure updated public corporate credit rating and a public corporate family rating in respect of WMIH from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), respectively, and public ratings for each of the Bridge Facility and the Notes from each of S&P and Moody’s, in each case, at least five business days prior to the Closing Date, (e) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of no more than one meeting of prospective Lenders at a time to be mutually agreed upon and additional telephonic meetings to be mutually agreed and (f) your ensuring (and with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure) that there shall be no competing issues of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities (other than the Bridge Facility) of WMIH, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than the Notes (or the issuance of any “demand securities” issued in lieu of the Notes or other indebtedness issued in lieu of the Notes that has otherwise been consented to by the Majority Lead Arrangers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) if such debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities would, in the reasonable judgment of the Lead Arrangers, materially impair the primary syndication of the Bridge Facility (it is understood and agreed that any deferred purchase price obligations, indebtedness to finance or refinance the purchase, origination, pooling or funding of mortgage servicing rights, residual funding facilities, securitization indebtedness, servicing advance facilities, warehouse facilities and credit enhancement agreements, in each case necessary for execution of the Borrower’s line of business and either consistent with past practice or in the ordinary course of business, ordinary course working capital facilities and ordinary course capital lease, purchase money, equipment financings and other indebtedness permitted to be incurred or remain outstanding by the Acquisition Agreement will not be deemed to materially impair the primary syndication of the Bridge Facility). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, neither the obtaining of the ratings referenced above nor the compliance with any of the other provisions set forth in clauses (a) through (f) above or any other provision of this paragraph shall constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date or at any time thereafter.

The Lead Arrangers, in their capacities as such, will, in consultation with you, manage all aspects of any syndication of the Bridge Facility, including decisions as to the selection of institutions reasonably acceptable to you to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (subject to your consent rights and rights of appointment set forth in the second preceding paragraph), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders from the amounts to be paid to the Commitment Parties pursuant to this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter. To assist the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide (and to use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to cause the Sponsor and the Company to provide) to the Lead Arrangers all customary information with respect to you and the Company and each of your and its respective subsidiaries and the Transactions, including all financial information, as the Lead Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Bridge Facility. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation binding upon you or any of your subsidiaries or affiliates or upon the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates or any obligation of confidentiality binding upon, or waive any attorney-client privilege of, you, the Company or your or its respective subsidiaries and affiliates (in which case you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to have any such confidentiality obligation waived, and otherwise in all instances, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, promptly notify us that information is being withheld pursuant to this sentence). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the only financial statements

that shall be required to be provided to the Commitment Parties in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility on or prior to the Closing Date shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to paragraphs 4 and 5 of Exhibit C.

You hereby represent and warrant that (with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries and its and their respective businesses, to your knowledge) all written information and written data (such information and data, other than information of a general economic or industry specific nature, the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Commitment Parties by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives, taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, and when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time). You agree that if, at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly supplement the Information so that such representations and warranties will be correct in all material respects (with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries and its and their respective businesses, to your knowledge) under those circumstances. In arranging and syndicating the Bridge Facility, the Commitment Parties will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information without responsibility for independent verification thereof.

As consideration for the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder and for the agreement of the Lead Arrangers to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the fees set forth in the Term Sheet and in the Fee Letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Bridge Facility (the “Fee Letter”), if and to the extent payable. Once paid, such fees shall not be refundable under any circumstances, except as otherwise contemplated by the Fee Letter.

The several commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder to fund the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date and the several agreements of the Lead Arrangers to perform the services described herein are subject solely to (a) the applicable conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto and (b) the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit C hereto, and upon satisfaction (or waiver by the Commitment Parties) of such conditions, the initial funding of the Bridge Facility or the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes shall occur, it being understood that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder and there will be no conditions (implied or otherwise) under the Bridge Facility Documentation to the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date, including compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Bridge Facility Documentation, other than those that are expressly stated in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto and in Exhibit C hereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter (including each of the exhibits attached hereto), the Fee Letter, the Bridge Facility Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) the only representations and warranties the making of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date shall be (A) such of the representations and warranties made by or with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Initial Lenders, but only to the extent that you (or one of your affiliates) have the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate your (or its) obligations under the Acquisition Agreement (or otherwise decline to consummate the Acquisition without any liability) as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement (to such extent, the “Company Representations”) and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below)

and (ii) the terms of the Bridge Facility Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto and in Exhibit C hereto are satisfied (or waived by the Commitment Parties) For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties made by the Borrower and WMIH to be set forth in the Bridge Facility Documentation relating to the corporate or other organizational existence of the Borrower and WMIH, power and authority, due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability, in each case related to the borrowing under, guaranteeing under, and performance of, the Bridge Facility Documentation; the incurrence of the loans and the provision of the Guarantees, in each case under the Bridge Facility, not conflicting with the Borrower’s and WMIH’s constitutional documents (after giving effect to the Acquisition); solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with the manner in which solvency is defined in the solvency certificate to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 9 of Exhibit C); Federal Reserve margin regulations; the use of loan proceeds not violating OFAC, FCPA, other anti-terrorism laws and the PATRIOT Act; and the Investment Company Act. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Funding Conditions Provisions”. Without limiting the conditions precedent provided herein to funding the consummation of the Acquisition with the proceeds of the Bridge Facility, the Lead Arrangers will cooperate with you as reasonably requested in coordinating the timing and procedures for the funding of the Bridge Facility in a manner consistent with the Acquisition Agreement.

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties, their respective affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members, advisors and the successors of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of any kind or nature, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject, to the extent arising out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, actual or threatened, relating to this Commitment Letter (including the Term Sheet), the Fee Letter, the Transactions, the Bridge Facility or any related transaction contemplated hereby (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether such Proceeding is brought by you or any other person, and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person promptly upon written demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing by one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may, in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion, include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict notifies you of the existence of such conflict and thereafter, after receipt of your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), retains its own counsel, by another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Person) or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent that they have resulted from (i) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members, advisors or the successors of any of the foregoing (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person (or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members, advisors or the successors of any of the foregoing) under this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Bridge Facility Documentation (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (iii) in the case of a Proceeding initiated by you or one of your permitted assignees against the relevant Indemnified Person, a breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person or any of such

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, (i) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (including IntraLinks or SyndTrak Online), except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (ii) none of we, you, the Company, the Sponsor (or any of their respective affiliates), any subsidiaries of the foregoing or any Indemnified Person shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Transactions (including the Bridge Facility and the use of proceeds thereunder), or with respect to any activities related to the Bridge Facility, including the preparation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Bridge Facility Documentation; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall limit your indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent that such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any claim by a third party unaffiliated with any of the Commitment Parties with respect to which the applicable Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under the preceding paragraph.

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and to the extent provided in the other provisions herein.

You shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance

reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrong doing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

You acknowledge that the Commitment Parties and their affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other persons in respect of which you may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. Neither the Commitment Parties nor any of their affiliates will use confidential information obtained from you or the Company by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or their other relationships with you in connection with the performance by them of services for other persons, and neither the Commitment Parties nor any of their affiliates will furnish any such information to other persons (other than as permitted pursuant to the provisions hereof).

This Commitment Letter and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Commitment Letter and the commitments hereunder shall not be assignable by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each other party hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void). This Commitment Letter and the commitments hereunder are intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto (and Indemnified Persons) and are not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto (and Indemnified Persons to the extent expressly set forth herein). Subject to the limitations otherwise set forth herein, each Commitment Party reserves the right to employ the services of its respective affiliates or branches in providing services contemplated hereby and to allocate, in whole or in part, to their affiliates or branches certain fees payable to such Commitment Party in such manner as such Commitment Party and its respective affiliates or branches may agree in their sole discretion and, to the extent so employed, such affiliates and branches shall be entitled to the benefits and protections afforded to, and subject to the provisions governing the conduct of, such Commitment Party hereunder. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or any provision hereof waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Commitment Parties and you. This Commitment Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Commitment Letter by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Commitment Letter (including the exhibits hereto) and the Fee Letter (i) are the only agreements that have been entered into among the parties hereto with respect to the Bridge Facility and (ii) supersede all prior understandings, whether written or oral, among us with respect to the Bridge Facility and set forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect thereto.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that (i) this Commitment Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement (subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law)) with respect to the subject matter contained herein, including an agreement to negotiate in good faith the Bridge Facility Documentation by the parties hereto in a manner consistent with this Commitment Letter, it being acknowledged and agreed that the funding of the Bridge Facility is subject only to the conditions precedent as provided herein and (ii) the Fee Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement (subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law)) of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter set forth therein.

THIS COMMITMENT LETTER AND THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that (a) the interpretation of the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect” (as referenced in Exhibit C hereto) (and whether or not such Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred), (b) the determination of the accuracy of any Company Representations and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof you (or your affiliates) has the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate your (or your affiliates’) obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition and (c) the determination of whether the Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, in each case shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

CONFIDENTIAL		EXHIBIT A

Project Eclipse

Transaction Description

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit A is attached (the “Commitment Letter”) or in the Commitment Letter.

Wand Merger Corporation (“Buyer”), a newly formed shell entity which is an affiliate of WMIH Corp. (“WMIH”), intends to acquire, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity interests of the entity previously identified to us by you as “Eclipse” (the “Company”) from the equity holders of the Company.

In connection with the foregoing, it is intended that:

 

a)

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, the Buyer and the other parties referenced therein, dated as of the date hereof (together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and disclosure letters thereto, collectively, as modified, amended, supplemented or waived, the “Acquisition Agreement”), Buyer will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving such merger, in all material respects in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Acquisition”). After giving effect to the Acquisition, the Company shall become a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIH.

 

b)

The sum of (1) the product of (i) the number of outstanding common equity shares issued by WMIH prior to giving effect to the Acquisition, (ii) the exchange ratio for such shares set forth in the Acquisition Agreement and (iii) the value of such common equity interests (it being understood and agreed that the value of each such share shall be deemed to be the price set forth in the Acquisition Agreement regardless of the actual trading price of such share) and (2) the value of the common equity interests in WMIH issued to the equityholders of the Company (it being understood and agreed that the aggregate value pursuant to this clause (2) shall be as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement) (clauses (1) and (2) collectively, the “Equity Contribution”) shall be at least 30% (the “Minimum Equity Contribution”) of the sum of (1) the aggregate gross proceeds of the Bridge Facility borrowed on the Closing Date (or Senior Unsecured Notes issued in lieu thereof) and (2) the equity capitalization of WMIH and its subsidiaries on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions; provided that WMIH shall use cash on its balance sheet of at least $550.0 million in connection with the Transactions. To the extent that WMIH issues equity on or prior to the Closing Date (excluding for the avoidance of doubt the existing Class A preferred shares of WMIH or any successor thereto), other than common equity, such issuance shall be on the terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Lead Arrangers.

 

c)	The Borrower will either issue the full $2,750 million amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes and/or borrow up to the unissued amount of the contemplated $2,750 million issuance in an aggregate principal amount of Bridge Loans, in each case on the Closing Date of the Acquisition.

 

d)

It is understood that all obligations with respect to (i) 6.500% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”), co-issued by Nationstar Mortgage LLC and Nationstar Capital Corporation (collectively, the “Issuers”), under the indenture, dated as of July 22, 2013 (as amended and supplemented, the “2018 Notes Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), (ii) 9.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”), co-issued by the Issuers, under the indenture, dated as of April 25, 2012 (as amended and supplemented, the “2019 Notes Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, (iii) 7.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), co-issued by the Issuers, under the indenture, dated as of September 24, 2012 (as amended and supplemented, the “2020 Notes

Availability:		The Lenders will make the Bridge Loans on the Closing Date simultaneously with the consummation of the Acquisition. Amounts borrowed under the Bridge Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

In addition, certain subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements under the Bridge Facility Documentation in circumstances where the Borrower and the Administrative Agent reasonably agree that the cost of providing such a guarantee is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby.   Subject only to the restricted payment covenant in the Bridge Facility Documentation and no continuing payment or bankruptcy event of default, WMIH may designate any subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently, subject to WMIH being

If any of the Bridge Loans have not been previously repaid in full on or prior to the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, unless a bankruptcy event of default with respect to WMIH or the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) the Tranche A Bridge Loans will be automatically converted into a senior unsecured term loan (the “Tranche A Extended Term Loans”) due on the date that is five years after the Closing Date (the “Tranche A Extended Maturity Date”), (ii) the Tranche B Bridge Loans will be automatically converted into a senior unsecured term loan (the “Tranche B Extended Term Loans”) due on the date that is eight years after the Closing Date (the “Tranche B Extended Maturity Date”) and (iii) the Tranche C Bridge Loans will be automatically converted into a senior unsecured term loan (the “Tranche C Extended Term Loans” and, together with the Tranche A Extended Term Loans and the Tranche B Extended Term Loans, the “Extended Term Loans”) due on the date that is ten years after the Closing Date (the “Tranche C Extended Maturity Date” and, together with the Tranche A Extended Maturity Date and the Tranche B Extended Maturity Date, the “Extended Maturity Dates”), in each case, having terms set forth on Annex I to this Exhibit B. The date on which Bridge Loans are converted into Extended Term Loans is referred to as the “Conversion Date”.

The Borrower will also be required to offer to prepay the Bridge Loans following the occurrence of a Change of Control (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles) at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, subject to the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles. These mandatory prepayment provisions will not apply to the Extended Term Loans. Mandatory prepayments shall be allocated ratably amongst the Bridge Loan tranches.
Optional Prepayment:		The Bridge Loans may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest upon not less than three days’ prior written notice, at the option of the Borrower at any time. Voluntary prepayments may be allocated, in the sole discretion of the Borrower, amongst the Bridge Loan tranches.
Documentation:		The definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility (the “Bridge Facility Documentation”) shall contain the terms set forth in this Exhibit B and shall otherwise be negotiated in good faith within a reasonable time period to be determined based on the expected Closing Date and substantially consistent with the USI Advantage Corp. Indenture, dated as of April 18, 2017 (the “USI Indenture”) (reflecting, in the case of the Bridge Facility or Extended Term Loans, credit agreement format) with changes to the debt and lien covenants as are consistent with provisions customarily found in high yield indentures of comparable issuers in the Company’s industry (and in any event, the terms shall be no more restrictive than the indentures governing the Company’s existing senior notes) and as modified to reflect the operational and strategic requirements of WMIH, the Borrower and their respective subsidiaries in light of their size, industries, businesses and business practices, operations, financial accounting and projections set forth in the Acquisition Model (as defined below) and administrative and operational changes as reasonably

CONFIDENTIAL		ANNEX C-I

Form of Solvency Certificate

Date:            

Reference is made to Credit Agreement, dated as of [•] (the “Credit Agreement”), among [•] (the “Borrower”), the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), and [•], as Administrative Agent.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. This certificate is furnished pursuant to Section [•] of the Credit Agreement.

Solely in my capacity as a financial executive officer of WMIH and not individually (and without personal liability), I hereby certify, that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions in connection with the Bridge Facility:

 

1.

The sum of the liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of WMIH and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, does not exceed the present fair saleable value of the present assets of WMIH and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.

 

2.

The fair value of the property of WMIH and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of WMIH and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.

 

3.

The capital of WMIH and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not unreasonably small in relation to their business as contemplated on the date hereof.

 

4.

WMIH and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, have not incurred and do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts including current obligations beyond their ability to pay such debts as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise).

For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability has been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that would reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Certificate as of the date first written above.
