  3. To review and approve any severance or termination arrangements to be made with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company;
  4. To review and approve any severance or termination arrangements to be made with the Company's other executive officers;

  1. To oversee evaluations of executive management, development, retention and succession planning, including in connection with the replacement of the Chief Executive Officer in the event of any planned or unforeseen departure;
  2. To review and discuss with management the Company's Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A"), recommend that the CD&A be included in the Company's proxy statement and produce an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement, in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations; and
  3. To evaluate and determine annually the appropriate form and amount of compensation for Board and Board committee service by members of the Board (which may be done in consultation with the full Board, if the Chair believes it to be appropriate to do so).

B. Incentive Compensation and Equity-Based Plans

The Committee shall have the following responsibilities with respect to the Company's incentive compensation and equity-based plans:

    1. To review, at least annually, the goals and objectives of the Company's incentive compensation and equity-based plans and, to the extent changes to such plans are subject to Board approval, make recommendations to the Board with respect to such plans in light of such goals and objectives; and
    2. To perform such duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to the Committee under the terms of any incentive compensation or equity-based plan.
  1. Other Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans
    1. To review, at least annually, the Company's general compensation plans and other employee benefit plans in light of the goals and objectives of these plans, and, to the extent changes to such plans are subject to Board approval, make recommendations to the Board with respect to such plans in light of such goals and objectives.
    2. To oversee the management-level Employee Benefits Committee and perform such duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to the Committee under the terms of the Company's general compensation plans and other employee benefit plans, including acting as the committee authorized by the Board to fulfill its responsibilities under the Onity Group Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan.
  2. Risk Management

To review and consider the Company's policies and practices of compensating its employees, including non-executive officers, as they relate to risk management practices and risk-taking incentives, and whether risks arising from the Company's compensation policies and practices for its employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

E. Investigations and Studies; Outside Advisers

The Committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the Committee's scope of responsibilities.

The Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or such other advisers as it deems necessary to fulfill its duties and responsibilities as set forth in this Charter. The Committee shall be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser retained by the

Committee. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to any compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or any other adviser retained by the Committee. The Committee shall not be required to implement or act consistently with the advice or recommendations of any compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser to the compensation committee, and the authority granted in this Charter shall not affect the ability or obligation of the Committee to exercise its own judgment in fulfillment of its duties under this Charter.

In selecting a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser (other than the Company's in-house counsel), the Committee must, if and to the extent required by the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") rules, take into consideration all factors relevant to that person's independence from management, including the factors specified in the listing standards of the NYSE; provided, that after considering such factors, the Committee may select or receive advice from any compensation adviser it prefers, including ones that are not independent.

In carrying out its duties and responsibilities, the Committee's practices should remain flexible, so that it may be in a position to best react or respond to changing circumstances or conditions.

F. ESG and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives

The Committee shall periodically review the Company's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives, including Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives. The Committee shall, to the extent the Committee believes it is appropriate, oversee the Company's progress toward executing its ESG strategy, consider whether and how to include ESG-related goals in the Company's compensation plans and practices, and advise on the Company's ESG disclosures to investors and other stakeholders.

IV. MEMBERSHIP

The Committee shall be comprised of three or more directors as determined from time to time by resolution of the Board, each of whom shall qualify as independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE, and, if deemed appropriate from time to time, meet the definition of "nonemployee director" under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and "outside director" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Any vacancy on the Committee shall be filled by majority vote of the Board, either at the next meeting of the Board following the occurrence of the vacancy or at such later time as the Board deems appropriate. No member of the Committee may be removed except by majority vote of the independent directors then in office (excluding any member subject to such vote).

V. MEETINGS

The Committee shall fix its own rules of procedure, which shall be consistent with the Bylaws of the Company and this Charter. The Chair of the Committee or a majority of the members of the Committee may also call a special meeting of the Committee. In the absence of a different determination by the Committee, a majority of members shall constitute a quorum. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Committee or of any sub-committee

The Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees when it deems it to be appropriate. The Committee shall meet as frequently as it shall determine is necessary to carry out its duties and responsibilities.

VI. REPORTING

The Committee shall provide minutes of its meetings to the Board and otherwise report to the Board as it determines is appropriate. Such reports shall be oral, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

The Committee shall also report to the Board as provided below under "VII Evaluation and Charter Review."

VII. EVALUATION AND CHARTER REVIEW

The Committee shall, on at least an annual basis, evaluate its performance under this Charter. In conducting this review, the Committee shall evaluate whether this Charter appropriately addresses the matters that are or should be within its scope. The Committee shall address all matters that the Committee considers relevant to its performance, including at least the following: the adequacy, appropriateness and quality of the information and recommendations presented by the Committee to the Board, the manner in which matters were discussed or debated, and whether the number and length of meetings of the Committee were adequate for the Committee to complete its work in a thorough and thoughtful manner.

The Committee shall report to the Board regarding the results of its evaluation, including any recommended amendments to this Charter and any recommended changes to the Company's or the Board's policies or procedures. Such report shall be oral, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.
