The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 4”). This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Shares purchased by each of the Funds were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted, as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein. The aggregate purchase price of the 3,809,615 Shares owned by Master Fund is approximately $25,568,194, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,029,504 Shares owned by Fund II is approximately $7,243,678, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,160,881 Shares owned by Ktown is approximately $8,113,053, including brokerage commissions.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 123,989,954 Shares outstanding, as of October 25, 2016, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2016.

As of the close of business on November 15, 2016, Master Fund owned directly 3,809,615 Shares, constituting approximately 3.07% of the Shares outstanding, Fund II owned directly 1,029,504 Shares, constituting less than 1% of the Shares outstanding and Ktown owned directly 1,160,881 Shares, constituting less than 1% of the Shares outstanding. By virtue of its relationship with each of Fund II and Ktown discussed in further detail in Item 2 of Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, General Partner may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by each of Fund II and Ktown. By virtue of their respective relationships with the Funds discussed in further detail in Item 2 of Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, each of Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management and Messrs. Blitzer and Shanon may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by the Funds.

(b) Each of Master Fund, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon has shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Master Fund. Each of Ktown, General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon has shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Ktown. Each of Fund II, General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon has shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Fund II.

(c) Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons.

Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

(e) As of November 15, 2016, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons hold $7 million of the Issuer’s 6.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Existing Notes”). On November 1, 2016, the Reporting Persons entered into a letter agreement with Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“OLS”), pursuant to which the Reporting Persons agreed to exchange all of their Existing Notes for an equal principal amount of 8.375% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 to be issued by OLS in accordance with OLS’ offering memorandum.
