PENNYMAC FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on December 31, 2012. Pursuant to a reorganization, the Company became a holding corporation and its primary asset is an equity interest in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”). The Company is the managing member of PennyMac and operates and controls all of the businesses and affairs of PennyMac subject to the consent rights of other members under certain circumstances and, through PennyMac and its subsidiaries, continues to conduct the business previously conducted by these subsidiaries.

 

PennyMac is a Delaware limited liability company which, through its subsidiaries, engages in mortgage banking and investment management activities. PennyMac’s mortgage banking activities consist of residential loan production (including correspondent production and consumer-direct lending) and loan servicing. PennyMac’s investment management activities and a portion of its loan servicing activities are conducted on behalf of investment vehicles that invest in residential mortgage loans and related assets. PennyMac’s primary wholly owned subsidiaries are:

 

·                   PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”) —a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. PCM enters into investment management agreements with entities that invest in residential mortgage loans and related assets.

 

Presently, PCM has management agreements with PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a publicly held real estate investment trust, and three investment funds: PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, L.P., (the “Master Fund”), both registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC (collectively, “Investment Funds”). Together, the Investment Funds and PMT are referred to as the “Advised Entities.”

 

·                   PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”) —a Delaware limited liability company that services portfolios of residential mortgage loans on behalf of non-affiliates or the Advised Entities, originates new prime credit quality residential mortgage loans, and engages in other mortgage banking activities for its own account and the account of PMT .

 

PLS is approved as a seller/servicer of mortgage loans by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and as an issuer of securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). PLS is a licensed Federal Housing Administration Nonsupervised Title II Lender with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and a lender/servicer with the Veterans Administration (“VA”) (each an “Agency” and collectively the “Agencies”).

 

·                   PNMAC Opportunity Fund Associates, LLC (“PMOFA”) —a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Master Fund. PMOFA is entitled to incentive fees representing allocations of profits (“Carried Interest”) from the Master Fund .

 

Initial Public Offering and Recapitalization

 

On May 14, 2013, PFSI completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) in which it sold approximately 12.8 million shares of its Class A common stock, at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. PFSI received net proceeds of $216.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, from sales of its shares in the IPO. PFSI used these net proceeds to purchase approximately 12.8 million Class A units of PennyMac. PFSI operates and controls all of the business and affairs and consolidates the financial results of PennyMac and its subsidiaries.

 

The purchase of 12.8 million Class A units of PennyMac has been accounted for as a transfer of interests under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect a reclassification of members’ equity to noncontrolling interests in the Company of $315.5 million. This amount represents the carrying value in the Company of the existing owners of PennyMac on the date of the IPO.

 

Before the IPO, PennyMac completed a reorganization by amending its limited liability company agreement to convert all classes of ownership interests held by its existing owners to a single class of common units. The conversion of existing interests was based on the various interests’ liquidation priorities as specified in PennyMac’s prior limited liability company agreement. In connection with that reorganization, PFSI became the sole managing member of PennyMac.

 

After the completion of the recapitalization and reorganization transactions, PennyMac became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, PennyMac’s consolidated financial statements are the Company’s historical financial statements. The historical consolidated financial statements of PennyMac are reflected herein based on the historical ownership interests of the then-existing PennyMac unitholders.

Tax Receivable Agreement

 

As part of the IPO, PFSI entered into an Exchange Agreement with PennyMac’s existing unitholders whereby the existing unitholders may exchange their PennyMac units for PFSI stock. PennyMac has made an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code which remains in effect. As a result of this election an exchange under the Exchange Agreement results in a special adjustment for PFSI that may increase PFSI’s tax basis of certain assets of PennyMac that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of income tax that PFSI would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent a portion of the increased tax basis is allocated to those assets.

 

As part of the IPO, PFSI entered into a tax receivable agreement with PennyMac’s existing unitholders that will provide for the payment by PFSI to PennyMac exchanged unitholders an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PFSI is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis resulting from the exchanges noted above and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to PFSI entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement .

 

The term of the tax receivable agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless PFSI exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement. In the event of termination of the tax receivable agreement, the Company would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future net tax benefits, which upfront payment may be made years in advance of the actual realization of such future benefits.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

 

Reclassification of previously presented balances

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Specifically:

 

·                   Interest expense is included in Interest income as a new caption of Net interest (expense) income to better reflect results of the Company’s portfolio of interest-earning assets. Previously,  Interest expense was included within Total expenses. The reclassification results in the presentation of Net interest (expense) income .

Note 2—Concentration of Risk

 

A substantial portion of the Company’s activities relate to the Advised Entities. Fees charged to these entities (generally comprised of management fees, loan servicing fees net of loan servicing rebates, Carried Interest and fulfillment fees) totaled 33% and 43% of total net revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 34% and 47% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Other Transactions

 

In connection with the IPO of PMT’s common shares on August 4, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with PMT pursuant to which PMT agreed to reimburse the Company for the $2.9 million payment that it made to the underwriters in such offering (the “Conditional Reimbursement”) if PMT satisfied certain performance measures over a specified period of time. Effective February 1, 2013, the parties amended the terms of the reimbursement agreement to provide for the reimbursement to the Company of the Conditional Reimbursement if PMT is required to pay the Company performance incentive fees under the management agreement at a rate of $10 in reimbursement for every $100 of performance incentive fees earned. The reimbursement of the Conditional Reimbursement is subject to a maximum reimbursement in any particular 12 month period of $1.0 million and the maximum amount that may be reimbursed under the agreement is $2.9 million. The Company received payments from PMT totaling $36,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

In the event the termination fee is payable to the Company under the management agreement and the Company has not received the full amount of the reimbursements and payments under the reimbursement agreement, such amount will be paid in full. The term of the reimbursement agreement expires on February 1, 2019.

 

PMT reimburses the Company for other expenses, including common overhead expenses incurred on its behalf by the Company, in accordance with the terms of its management agreement. Such amounts are summarized below:

Exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC Unitholders

 

As discussed in Note 1, Organization and Basis of Presentation, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with PennyMac’s existing unitholders on the date of the IPO that will provide for the payment by PFSI to PennyMac’s exchanged unitholders an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PFSI is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis resulting from such unitholders’ exchanges and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. Based on the PennyMac unitholder exchanges to date, the Company has recorded a $74.7 million liability and it has not made a payment under the tax sharing agreement as of June 30, 2014.

 

Note 4—Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic earnings per share of common stock is determined using net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is determined by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive shares of common stock were issued.

 

The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted average shares of common stock represented by the unvested stock-based compensation awards and the exchangeable PennyMac Class A units. The diluted earnings per share calculation assumes the exchange of these PennyMac Class A units for shares of common stock. Accordingly, earnings attributable to the Company’s common stockholders is also adjusted to include the earnings allocated to the PennyMac Class A units after taking into account the income taxes applicable to the shares of common stock assumed to be exchanged.

Certain of the loans serviced by the Company are subserviced on the Company’s behalf by other mortgage loan servicers. Loans are subserviced for the Company on a transitional basis for loans where the Company has obtained the rights to service the loans but servicing of the loans has not yet transferred to the Company’s servicing system.

 

Note 6—Netting of Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk for the interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) it makes to purchase or originate mortgage loans at specified interest rates, its inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). The Company has elected to present net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained from (or posted to) its counterparties when subject to a master netting arrangement that is legally enforceable on all counterparties in the event of default. The derivatives that are not subject to a master netting arrangement are IRLCs.

Note 7—Fair Value

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured based on their estimated fair values. The application of fair value estimates may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether management has elected to carry the item at its estimated fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.

 

Fair Value Accounting Elections

 

Management identified all of its non-cash financial assets and its originated MSRs relating to loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and MSRs purchased subject to excess servicing spread (“ESS”) financing to be accounted for at fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance. Management has also identified its ESS financing to be accounted for at fair value as a means of hedging the related MSR’s fair value risk.

 

For originated MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5%, management has concluded that such assets present different risks to the Company than originated MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and therefore require a different risk management approach. Management’s risk management efforts relating to these assets are aimed at mainly moderating the effects of non-interest rate risks on fair value, such as the effect of changes in home prices on the assets’ fair values. Management has identified these assets for accounting using the amortization method.

 

Management’s risk management efforts in connection with MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are aimed at mainly moderating the effects of changes in interest rates on the assets’ fair values. At times during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, derivatives were used to hedge the fair value changes of the MSRs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

 

The Company’s Cash as well as its Mortgage loans sold under agreements to repurchase , Note payable , Carried Interest due from Investment Funds , and amounts receivable from and payable to the Advised Entities are carried at amortized cost.

 

Cash is measured using “Level 1” significant inputs. The Company’s borrowings carried at amortized cost do not have active markets or observable inputs and the fair value is measured using management’s estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company has classified these financial instruments as “Level 3” financial statement items as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 due to the lack of current market activity and the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value.

 

Management has concluded that the carrying value of the Carried Interest due from Investment Funds approximates its fair value as the balance represents the amount distributable to the Company at the balance sheet date assuming liquidation of the Investment Funds. Management has concluded that the fair value of the Note payable approximates the agreements’ carrying value due to the agreement’s short term and variable interest rate. The Company has classified these financial instruments as “Level 3” financial statement items due to the lack of current market activity and the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair value.

 

The Company also carries the receivable from and payable to the Advised Entities at cost. Management has concluded that the fair value of such balances approximates the carrying value due to the short terms of such balances.

 

Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

 

Most of the Company’s financial assets, including its ESS, are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Certain of the Company’s financial assets and all of its MSRs and ESS are “Level 3” financial statement items which require the use of significant unobservable inputs in the estimation of the items’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

 

The Company’s Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”), which is responsible for valuing and monitoring the Company’s investment portfolios and maintenance of its valuation policies and procedures, estimates the fair values of “Level 3” financial instruments and MSRs.

 

24



Table of Contents

 

The FAV group reports to the Company’s senior management valuation committee, which oversees and approves the valuations. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” financial statement items, including the models’ performance versus actual results and reports those results to the Company’s senior management valuation committee. The results developed in the FAV group’s monitoring activities may be used to calibrate subsequent projections used for valuation.

 

The FAV group is responsible for reporting to the Company’s senior management valuation committee on a monthly basis on the changes in the valuation of the portfolio, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models.

 

Following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value financial statement items:

 

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

 

Most of the Company’s mortgage loans held for sale at fair value are salable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 2” fair value financial statement items and their fair values are estimated using their quoted market or contracted price or market price equivalent.

 

Certain of the Company’s mortgage loans may become non salable into active markets due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase of a mortgage loan with an identified defect. Because such mortgage loans are generally not salable into active mortgage markets, they are classified as “Level 3” financial statement items. The Company may also purchase government guaranteed or insured mortgage loans from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools in its servicing portfolio. The Company’s right to purchase such loans arises as the result of the borrower’s failure to make payments for three consecutive months preceding the month of repurchase by the Company and provides an alternative to the Company’s obligation to continue advancing principal and interest at the coupon rate of the related Ginnie Mae security. To the extent such loans (“early buyout loans”) have not become salable into another Ginnie Mae guaranteed security by becoming current either through the borrower’s reperformance or through completion of a modification of the loan’s terms, the Company measures such loans using “Level 3” inputs.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s “Level 3” mortgage loans held for sale at fair value are discount rates, home price projections, voluntary prepayment speeds and default speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

 

Following is a quantitative summary of key inputs used in the valuation of mortgage loans held for sale at fair value valued using “Level 3” inputs:

(1)  Prepayment speed is measured using Life Voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”).

(2)  Total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

 

Changes in fair value attributable to changes in instrument specific credit risk are measured by the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status at period end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date. Changes in fair value of mortgage loans held for sale are included in Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value in the consolidated statements of income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company categorizes IRLCs as a “Level 3” financial statement item. The Company estimates the fair value of an IRLC based on quoted Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the loans and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund or be purchased (the “pull-through rate”).

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the value of the mortgage loans it has committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR component of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these assumptions are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC value, but increase the pull-through rate for loans that have decreased in fair value.

 

Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of IRLCs:

The Company estimates the fair value of commitments to sell loans based on quoted MBS prices. The Company estimates the fair value of the MBS options and futures it purchases based on observed interest rate volatilities in the MBS market. Changes in fair value of IRLCs and related hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value financial statement items. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. This approach consists of projecting net servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that management believes market participants would use in their determinations of fair value. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include prepayment rates of the underlying loans, the applicable discount rate or pricing spread, and the per-loan annual cost to service the respective mortgage loans.

 

The results of the estimates of fair value of MSRs are reported to the Company’s valuation committee as part of their review and approval of monthly valuation results. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net servicing fees Amortization, impairment and change in estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights in the consolidated statements of income.

The preceding sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect the Company’s overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

Excess Servicing Spread Financing at Fair Value

 

The Company categorizes ESS financing as a “Level 3” financial statement item. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of ESS financing. The key inputs used in the estimation of ESS financing include pricing spread, average life, and prepayment speed. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the ESS financing fair value measurement. Changes in these key assumptions are not necessarily directly related.

 

ESS is generally subject to fair value losses when mortgage interest rates increase. Increasing mortgage interest rates normally slow mortgage refinancing activity. Decreased refinancing activity increases the life of the loans underlying the ESS, thereby increasing ESS financing’s fair value and the liability owed to PMT.  Increases in the fair value of ESS financing increase Amortization, impairment and change in estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights .

 

Interest expense for ESS financing is accrued using the interest method based upon the expected cash flows from the ESS through the expected life of the underlying mortgage loans. Other changes in fair value are recorded in Amortization, impairment and change in estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights .

 

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of ESS financing:

Note 9—Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company is exposed to fair value risk relative to its mortgage loans held for sale as well as to its IRLCs and MSRs. The Company bears fair value risk from the time an IRLC is made to PMT or a loan applicant to the time the mortgage loan is sold. The Company is exposed to loss in fair value of its IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale when mortgage rates increase. The Company is exposed to loss in fair value of its MSRs when interest rates decrease.

 

The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in market interest rates. To manage this fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and MSRs.

 

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than in support of its risk management activities other than IRLCs, which are generated in the normal course of business when the Company commits to purchase or originate mortgage loans held for sale. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

 

The Company had the following derivative financial instruments recorded on its consolidated balance sheets:

Note 13—Borrowings

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company maintained five borrowing facilities: four facilities that provide for sales of mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase; and one note payable secured by MSRs and servicing advances made relating to certain loans in the Company’s loan servicing portfolio.

 

Mortgage Loans Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

 

The borrowing facilities secured by mortgage loans held for sale are in the form of loan sale and repurchase agreements. Eligible loans are sold at advance rates based on the loan type. Interest is charged at a rate based on the buyer’s overnight cost-of funds rate for one agreement and based on LIBOR for the other three agreements. Loans sold under these agreements may be re-pledged by the lenders.

 

Financial data pertaining to mortgage loans sold under agreements to repurchase are as follows:

The Company is subject to margin calls during the period the agreements are outstanding and therefore may be required to repay a portion of the borrowings before the respective agreements mature if the fair value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the mortgage loans securing those agreements decreases. The Company had $1.5 million on deposit with its mortgage loan repurchase agreement counterparties at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Such amounts are included in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

The note payable matures on October 31, 2014. Interest is charged at a rate based on the lender’s overnight cost of funds. The note payable is secured by servicing advances and MSRs relating to certain loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio, and currently provides for advance rates ranging from 50% to 85% of the amount of the servicing advances or the carrying value of the MSR pledged.

 

The borrowing facilities contain various covenants, including financial covenants governing the Company’s net worth, debt to equity ratio, profitability and liquidity. Management believes that the Company was in compliance with these requirements as of June 30, 2014.

Excess Servicing Spread Financing

 

In conjunction with the Company’s purchase from non-affiliates of certain MSRs on pools of Agency-backed residential mortgage loans, the Company has entered into sale and assignment agreements which are treated as financings and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Under these agreements, the Company sold to PMT the right to receive ESS cash flows relating to certain MSRs. The Company retained all ancillary income associated with servicing the loans and a fixed base servicing fee. The Company continues to be the servicer of the mortgage loans and provides all servicing functions, including responsibility to make servicing advances.

Note 18—Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of stock options, time based and performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, performance units and stock grants. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has 16.7 million units available for future awards. The Company estimates the cost of the stock options, time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units awarded with reference to the fair value of PFSI’s underlying common stock on the date of the award. Compensation costs are fixed, except for the performance-based restricted stock units, at the grant’s estimated fair value on the grant date as all grantees are employees of PennyMac and directors of the Company. Expense relating to awards is included in Compensation in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 19 —Income Taxes

 

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s effective tax rates were 11.4% and 11.3%, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s effective tax rates were 4.1% and 1.9%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory rate is primarily due to the allocation of earnings to the noncontrolling interest unitholders. As the noncontrolling interest unitholders convert their ownership units into the Company’s shares, the portion of the Company’s income that will be subject to corporate federal and state statutory tax rates will increase, which will in turn increase its effective income tax rate.

Note 23—Segments and Related Information

 

Since the date of the Company’s IPO, the Company has continued its development of internal management reporting. Such development has resulted in changes in the information that is provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, management re-evaluated this new information in relation to its definition of its operating segments.

 

As a result of the new reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, management has concluded that its mortgage banking operations should be disclosed as two segments: loan production and loan servicing. Accordingly, the following segment disclosure includes three segments: loan production, loan servicing and investment management. Prior period segment disclosures have been restated to conform segment disclosures for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013 to those for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Two of the segments are in the mortgage banking business: loan production and loan servicing. The loan production segment performs origination, acquisition and sale activities. The loan servicing segment performs servicing of newly originated mortgage loans, execution and management of early buyout loans and servicing of mortgage loans sourced and managed by the investment

management segment, including executing the loan resolution strategy identified by the investment management segment relating to distressed mortgage loans.

 

The investment management segment represents the activities of the Company’s investment manager, which include sourcing, performing diligence, bidding and closing investment asset acquisitions, managing correspondent lending activities for PMT and managing the acquired assets for the Advised Entities.

Note 24—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting Standard Update No 2014-04,  Receivables: Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure  (ASU 2014-04), clarifies when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate collateralizing a mortgage loan and the mortgage loan derecognized in the receivable and recognized as real estate property. This update specifies that an in substance repossession occurs when either the creditor has obtained the legal title to the property after a foreclosure or the borrower has transferred all interest in the property to the creditor through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement so that at that time the asset should be reclassified from a loan receivable to real estate acquired in settlement of loans. This update also provides that a disclosure of the amount between real estate acquired in settlement of loans and the recorded investment in mortgage loans that are in the process of foreclosure must be included in both interim and annual financial reports. This amendment update is effective for periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Standards Update No 2014-09,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers  (ASU 2014-09), was created to standardize revenue recognition process between public and private companies as well as across industries in an effort to more closely align GAAP revenue recognition with international standards to provide a more comparable revenue number for the users of the financial statements. The standard outlines that for all contracts, revenue should be recognized when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized either over a period or at one point in time in accordance with how the control of the service or good is transferred. This amendment update is for all year-end and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early application is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2014-09 to its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June of 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the “Update”) to the Transfers and Servicing topic of its Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in the Update require two accounting changes. First, the amendments in the Update change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. Second, for repurchase financing arrangements, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement.

 

The amendments in the Update require disclosures for certain transactions comprising (1) a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and (2) an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. The Update also specifies certain disclosure requirements for those transactions outstanding at the reporting date and for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions, the transferor is required to make certain disclosures by type of transaction. The adoption of the Update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 25—Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated all events and transactions through the date the Company issued these consolidated financial statements. During this period:

 

·                   All agreements to repurchase assets that matured between June 30, 2014 and the date of this Report were extended or renewed.

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied in such statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and other similar expressions. You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors,” as well as our consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”).

 

Initial Public Offering and Recapitalization

 

On May 14, 2013, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) in which we sold approximately 12.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) for cash consideration of $16.875 per share (net of underwriting discounts). With the net proceeds from the IPO, we bought approximately 12.8 million Class A units of Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”) and became its sole managing member. We operate and control all of the business and affairs and consolidate the financial results of PennyMac.

 

Before the completion of the IPO, the limited liability company agreement of PennyMac was amended and restated to, among other things, change its capital structure by converting the different classes of interests held by its existing unitholders into Class A units. PennyMac and its existing unitholders also entered into an exchange agreement under which (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement) they have the right to exchange their Class A units for shares of our Class A Common Stock on a one for one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and certain other transactions.

 

PennyMac has made an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code which remains in effect. As a result of this election, an exchange pursuant to the exchange agreement results in a special adjustment for PFSI that may increase PFSI’s tax basis in certain assets of PennyMac that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that PFSI would otherwise be required to pay in the future and result in increases in investment in PennyMac deferred tax assets net of investment in PennyMac deferred tax liabilities.

 

As part of the IPO, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with the then existing unitholders of PennyMac that provides for payment to such owners of 85% of the tax benefits, if any, that we are deemed to realize under certain circumstances as a result of (i) increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of Class A units and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to our tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.

 

Our Company

 

We are a specialty financial services firm with a comprehensive mortgage platform and integrated business focused on the production and servicing of U.S. residential mortgage loans (activities which we refer to as mortgage banking) and the management of investments related to the U.S. residential mortgage market. We believe that our operating capabilities, specialized expertise, access to long term investment capital, and our management’s experience across all aspects of the mortgage business will allow us to profitably grow these activities and capitalize on other related opportunities as they arise in the future.

 

PennyMac was founded in 2008 by members of its executive leadership team and two strategic partners, BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC, together with its affiliates, and HC Partners LLC, formerly known as Highfields Capital Investments LLC, together with its affiliates.

 

We conduct our business in three segments: loan production, loan servicing and investment management. Our principal mortgage banking subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), is a non-bank producer and servicer of mortgage loans in the United

States. Our principal investment management subsidiary, PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), is an SEC registered investment adviser. PCM manages PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a mortgage real estate investment trust, listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PMT. PCM also manages PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP, both registered under the Investment Company Act, an affiliate of these funds, and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC. We refer to these funds collectively as our “Investment Funds” and, together with PMT, as our “Advised Entities.”

 

Mortgage Banking

 

Production

 

Our loan production segment is sourced through two channels: correspondent production and consumer-direct lending.

 

In correspondent production we manage, on behalf of PMT and for our own account, the acquisition of newly originated, prime credit quality, first lien residential mortgage loans that have been underwritten to investor guidelines. PMT acquires, from approved correspondent sellers, newly originated loans, including both “conventional” and government-insured residential mortgage loans that qualify for inclusion in securitizations that are guaranteed by the Agencies. For conventional loans, we perform fulfillment activities for PMT and earn a fulfillment fee for each loan purchased by PMT. In the case of government insured loans, we purchase them from PMT at PMT’s cost plus a sourcing fee and fulfill them for our own account.

 

Through our consumer-direct lending channel, we originate new prime credit quality, first lien residential conventional and government-insured mortgage loans on a national basis to allow customers to purchase or refinance their homes. The consumer direct model relies on the Internet and call center based staff to acquire and interact with customers across the country. We do not have a “brick and mortar” branch network and have been developing our consumer direct operations with call centers strategically positioned across the United States.

 

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, we managed PMT’s acquisition of newly originated, prime credit quality, first lien residential conventional and government-insured mortgage loans with fair values totaling $7.3 billion and $12.3 billion, respectively. We purchased for our own account approximately $4.0 billion and $7.1 billion, respectively, of government-insured loans at fair value from PMT during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014. We also originated $410.1 million and $728.4 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans at fair value through our consumer-direct channel during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, we managed PMT’s acquisition of newly originated, prime credit quality, first lien residential conventional and government-insured mortgage loans with fair values totaling $8.9 billion and $17.8 billion, respectively. We purchased for our own account approximately $4.7 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively, of government-insured loans at fair value from PMT during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. We also originated $344.8 million and $613.0 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans at fair value through our consumer-direct channel during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Servicing

 

Our loan servicing segment performs loan administration, collection and default activities, including the collection and remittance of loan payments; response to customer inquiries; accounting for principal and interest; holding custodial (impound) funds for the payment of property taxes and insurance premiums; counseling delinquent mortgagors; and supervising foreclosures and property dispositions. We service a diverse portfolio of loans both as the owner of MSRs and on behalf of other MSR or mortgage owners. We provide prime servicing for conventional and government  insured loans, as well as special servicing for distressed loans that have been acquired as investments by our Advised Entities. As of June 30, 2014, the portfolio of loans that we serviced or subserviced totaled approximately $93.6 billion in UPB.

 

Investment Management

 

We are an investment manager through an indirect subsidiary, PCM. PCM currently manages PMT and the Investment Funds. PMT and the Investment Funds had combined net assets of approximately $ 2.1 billion as of June 30, 2014. For these activities, we earn management fees as a percentage of net assets and incentive compensation based on investment performance.

 

Observations on Current Market Conditions

 

Our business is affected by macroeconomic conditions in the United States, including economic growth, unemployment rates, the residential housing market and interest rate levels and expectations. During the second quarter of 2014, real U.S. gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 4.0% compared to a revised 2.1% decrease for the first quarter of 2014 and a 2.5% increase for the second quarter of 2013. The national unemployment rate was 6.1% at June 30, 2014 and compares to a revised

 

47



Table of Contents

 

seasonally adjusted rate of 7.5% at June 30, 2013 and 6.7% at March 31, 2014. While delinquency rates on residential real estate loans continue to decrease, they remain elevated compared to historical rates. As reported by the Federal Reserve Bank, during the first quarter of 2014, the delinquency rate on residential real estate loans held by commercial banks was 7.8%, a reduction from 9.7% during the first quarter of 2013.

 

The seasonally adjusted annual rate of existing home sales for June 2014 was 2.3% lower than for June 2013 and the national median existing home price for all housing types was $223,300, a 4.3% increase from June 2013. On a national level, foreclosure filings during the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 19% as compared to the second quarter of 2013. Foreclosure activity across the country is on a decreasing trend; however, it is expected to remain above historical average levels through 2014 and beyond.

 

Thirty-year fixed mortgage interest rates ranged from a low of 4.16% to a high of 4.34% during the second quarter of 2014. During the second quarter of 2013, thirty-year fixed mortgage interest rates ranged from a low of 3.45% to a high of 4.07% (Source: the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey).

 

Changes in fixed rate residential mortgage loan interest rates generally follow changes in long term U.S. Treasury yields. Toward the end of the second quarter of 2013, an increase in these Treasury yields led to an increase in mortgage loan interest rates. As a result of this increase in mortgage loan interest rates, market volumes for mortgage originations have decreased led by a reduction in refinance activity.

 

Mortgage lenders originated an estimated $295 billion of home loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, down 52.9% from the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Mortgage originations are forecast to continue to decline, with current industry estimates for 2014 totaling $1.1 trillion compared to $1.9 trillion for 2013 (Source: Average of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Mortgage Bankers Association forecasts).

 

In recent periods, we have seen increased competition from new and existing market participants in the correspondent production business, as well as reductions in the overall level of refinancing activity. We believe that this change in supply and demand within the marketplace has been driving lower correspondent and retail production margins in recent periods, which is reflected in our results of operations in our gains on mortgage loans acquired for sale. During the first several months of 2013, gains on mortgage loans acquired for sale benefited from wider secondary spreads (the difference between interest rates charged to borrowers and yields on mortgage-backed securities in the secondary market); however, secondary spreads narrowed in subsequent months and we expect them to continue to normalize toward their long-term averages in 2014.

 

We believe there is significant long-term market opportunity in non-Agency jumbo mortgage loans. Pricing for non-Agency AAA rated bonds has steadily improved since the beginning of the year, however liquidity is fairly limited. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, prime jumbo MBS issuance totaled $2.1 billion in unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) compared to $7.9 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we fulfilled for PMT approximately $93.4 million in UPB of jumbo loans, compared to $115.5 million in UPB of jumbo loans fulfilled for PMT during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

In our capacity as an investment manager, we continue to see substantial volumes of distressed residential mortgage loan sales (sales of loan pools that consist of either nonperforming loans, troubled but performing loans or a combination thereof) offered for sale by a limited number of sellers. During the second quarter of 2014, we reviewed 57 mortgage loan pools with UPB totaling approximately $18.2 billion. This compares to our review of 36 mortgage loan pools with UPB totaling approximately $11.1 billion and one pool of real estate acquired in settlement of loans totaling approximately $108 million during the second quarter of 2013. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired for PMT distressed loans with fair value totaling $27.2 million and $287.5 million, respectively, and $242.7 million and $443.2 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2013. While we expect to see a continued supply of distressed whole loans, we believe the pricing for recent transactions has been less attractive for buyers. We remain patient and selective for PMT in making new investments in distressed whole loans and we continue to monitor the market to assess best execution opportunities for distressed portfolio investments held by the Advised Entities.

Comparison of the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Net income increased by approximately $3.2 million or 7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and decreased by approximately $8.5 million or 8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase in net income from the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to the quarter ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to increased loan servicing fee income resulting from the growth in our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. Our servicing portfolio increased from $44.4 billion at June 30, 2013 to $93.6 billion at June 30, 2014. The decrease in net income from the six months ended June 30, 2013 to the six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to the effects of the contraction in the mortgage loan origination market, partially offset by growth in our mortgage loan servicing portfolio. Our mortgage loan production decreased by $1.1 billion or 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value

 

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value totaling $39.7 million and $74.2 million, respectively. This compares to net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value totaling $42.7 million and $82.6 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in net gains on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value was due to the effect of increasing price competition in the mortgage loan origination market, which had a negative effect on our margins, and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in the volume of mortgage loan sales during the period. The net gain for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 included $49.7 million and $87.2 million, respectively, in fair value of MSRs received as part of proceeds on sales, net of MSR recapture payable to PMT. The net gain for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013 included $52.5 million and $94.2 million, respectively, in fair value of MSRs received as part of proceeds on sales, net of MSR recapture payable to PMT.

We recognize a substantial portion of our gain on mortgage loans held for sale at fair value before we fund or purchase the loan. In the course of our loan production activities, we make contractual commitments to PMT and to mortgage loan applicants to purchase or fund mortgage loans at specified terms. We call these commitments interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”). We recognize the value of IRLCs at the time we make a commitment to PMT or the borrower.

 

We estimate the fair value of an IRLC based on quoted Agency MBS prices, our estimate of the fair value of the MSRs we expect to receive upon sale of the loans and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund or be purchased as a percentage of the commitment we have made (the “pull-through rate”). We update our estimates of the value of the IRLCs as the mortgage loans move through the purchase or loan process for changes in our estimate of the probability the loan will fund and for changes in market interest rates.

 

An active, observable market for IRLCs does not exist. Therefore, we estimate the fair value of IRLCs using methods and assumptions we believe that market participants use in pricing IRLCs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the Company’s estimate of the value of the mortgage loans we have committed to purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate and the MSR component of the

IRLCs, in isolation, could result in a significant change in fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these assumptions are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC value, but rising interest rates increase the pull-through rate for loans that have decreased in fair value.

 

Following is a quantitative summary of key unobservable inputs we used in the valuation of IRLCs:

We receive non-cash proceeds on sale of mortgage loans in the form of MSRs. MSRs represent the value of a contract that obligates us to service mortgage loans on behalf of the purchaser of the loan in exchange for servicing fees and the right to collect certain ancillary income from the borrower. We recognize MSRs at our estimate of the fair value of the contract to service the loans.

 

As economic fundamentals influence the loans we sell with servicing rights retained, our estimate of the fair value of MSRs will also change. As a result, we will record changes in fair value as a component of Net loan servicing fees for the MSRs we carry at fair value, and we may recognize changes in fair value relating to our MSRs carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value depending on the relationship of the asset’s fair value to its carrying value at the measurement date.

 

Following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of MSRs at the time of initial recognition, excluding MSR purchases:

We also provide for our estimate of the losses that we may be required to incur in the future as a result of our breach of representations and warranties provided to the purchasers of the loans we sold. Our agreements with the Agencies include representations and warranties related to the loans we sell to the Agencies. The representations and warranties require adherence to Agency origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.

 

In the event of a breach of our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans. Our credit loss may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent lenders that sold such mortgage loans and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent lender.

 

Following is a summary of the repurchase activity and unpaid balance of mortgage loans subject to representations and warranties:

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we repurchased mortgage loans with unpaid balances totaling $1.9 million. We recorded no losses as a result of these repurchases. As the outstanding balance of loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases and the loans sold begin to season, we expect the level of repurchase activity to increase. As economic fundamentals change and as investor and Agency evaluation of their loss mitigation strategies, including claims under representations and warranties,

change, and as the mortgage market and general economic changes affect our correspondent lenders, the level of repurchase activity and ensuing losses will change, which may be material to us.

 

We establish a liability at the time loans are sold and periodically update our liability estimate. We evaluate the adequacy of the balance of our recorded liability for losses under representations and warranties based on our loss experience and our assessment of future losses to be incurred relating to loans we have previously sold and which remain outstanding at the balance sheet date. The method used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of the representations and warranties given and considers a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, estimated future defaults and loan repurchase rates and the potential severity of loss in the event of defaults and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. The level of our liability for representations and warranties is approved by our senior management credit committee on a quarterly basis.

 

Following is a summary of our Liability for losses under representations and warranties in the consolidated balance sheets:

The level of the liability for losses under representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment. The level of mortgage loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor demand strategies, correspondent lender repurchase performance and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current UPB of loans sold by us to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties. We believe the amount and range of reasonably possible losses in relation to the recorded liability is not material to our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our hedging activities relating to correspondent production and consumer-direct lending primarily involve forward sales of our inventory and IRLCs as well as purchases of options to sell and options to purchase MBS.

 

Other loan production-related revenues

 

Loan origination fees increased $4.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase was due to increases in certain fees we charge in our loan production activities.

 

Loan fulfillment fees from PMT represent fees we collect for services we perform on behalf of PMT in connection with its acquisition, packaging and sale of mortgage loans. Fulfillment fees decreased $9.6 million and $29.0 million, respectively, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The decreases are due to decreases in the volume of mortgage loans we fulfilled on behalf of PMT and strategic reductions in the fulfillment fee rate charged to PMT. The loan fulfillment fees are calculated as a percentage of the UPB of the mortgage loans we fulfill for PMT. Summarized below are our fulfillment fees:

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, net loan servicing fees increased $34.9 million and $62.6 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to an increase of $31.6 million in loan servicing fees from non-affiliates due to growth in our portfolio of loans serviced as a result of our purchases of MSRs and ongoing sales of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, partially offset by the sale of a portfolio of MSRs backed by distressed mortgage loans; an increase of $5.4 million in loan servicing fees from PMT primarily due to activity-based fees relating to the sale of mortgage loans and growth in the volume of loans we service; an increase in loan servicing fees net of mortgage servicing rebate from the Investment Funds of $2.1 million due to activity-based fees relating to the sale of mortgage loans from the Investment Funds’ portfolios; and an increase of $2.2 million in ancillary fees due to growth in the portfolios of mortgage loans serviced.

Amortization, impairment and change in estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights increased $6.3 million and $14.9 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase in Amortization, impairment and change in estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights was due to growth in our investment in MSRs, which caused an increase in amortization of the asset and impairment, and to expectations for higher prepayment speeds as a result of lower interest rates at quarter end; offset with the positive change in fair value of the excess servicing spread financing.

 

Impairment and changes in fair value of MSRs have a significant effect on net servicing fees, driven primarily by our monthly re-estimation of the fair value of MSRs. As our investment in MSRs grows, we expect that the effect of impairment and changes in fair value will have an increasing influence on our net income. MSRs are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Decreasing interest rates encourage increased borrower refinancing activity. Increased borrower refinancing activity shortens the life of our MSR assets, thereby reducing the income we expect to receive from such assets and, by extension, MSR fair value.

 

The fair value of MSRs is difficult to determine because MSRs are not actively traded in observable markets. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair values of these assets and the exercise of such judgment can significantly affect our income. Our MSR valuation process combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value at each balance sheet date. The cash flow and prepayment inputs used in our discounted cash flow model are based on market factors and include the historical performance of our MSRs, which we believe are consistent with inputs and data used by market participants valuing similar MSRs.

 

The key inputs used in the valuation of MSRs include mortgage prepayment and default rates of the underlying loans, the applicable discount rate, and cost to service loans. These inputs can, and generally do, change from period to period as market conditions change. Therefore our estimate of the fair value of MSRs changes from period to period. Our senior management valuation committee reviews and approves the fair value estimates of our MSRs.

 

We account for MSRs at either our estimate of the asset’s estimated fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current period income or using the amortization method with the MSRs carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value based on how we finance certain of our MSR purchases and whether we believe the underlying mortgages are sensitive to prepayments resulting from changing market interest rates. We have identified an initial mortgage interest rate of 4.5% for MSRs originated through our lending activities as the threshold for whether such mortgage loans are sensitive to changes in interest rates:

 

·                   Our risk management efforts in connection with purchased MSRs and MSRs relating to mortgage loans originated through our loan production activities with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% are aimed at moderating the effects of changes in interest rates on the assets’ values.

 

·                   For MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of less than or equal to 4.5% that were acquired as a result of our lending activities, we have concluded that such assets present different risks than MSRs relating to mortgage loans with initial interest rates of more than 4.5% and therefore require a different risk management approach. Our risk management

 

56



Table of Contents

 

efforts relating to these assets are aimed at moderating the effects of non-interest rate risks on fair value, such as the effect of changes in home prices on the assets’ values. We have identified these assets for accounting using the amortization method.

 

·                   MSRs purchased for which a financing in the form of ESS cash flows has been recorded are accounted for at fair value. The ESS financing at fair value is accounted for at fair value to align the accounting for the MSR with the related liability.

 

Our MSRs are summarized by the basis on which we account for the assets below:

Management fees from PMT increased $457,000 and $2.0 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase was due primarily to:

 

·                   Base management fees increased by $1.3 million or 28% and $2.4 million or 27% in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013 due to an increase in PMT’s shareholders’ equity upon which its management fee is based.

 

·                   Performance incentive fees decreased $806,000 and $380,000 in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. We began to recognize performance incentive fees as a result of the amendment to our management agreement with PMT effective February 1, 2013, which changed the basis on which profitability is measured for incentive fee purposes. Under the amended agreement, profitability is primarily based on net income for a rolling four-quarter period determined in compliance with U.S. GAAP. Previously, the agreement based profitability on U.S. GAAP net income generally excluding non-cash gains and losses.

 

Management fees from the Investment Funds increased $112,000 and $233,000 in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase was due to an increase in the Investment Funds’ net asset values, which increased the investment base on which the management fees are computed.

 

Carried Interest from Investment Funds decreased $1.0 million and $3.6 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same period in 2013. Observed market demand for distressed loans, changes in the value of the loans as they proceed through the resolution process and continuing increases in collateral valuations for the properties underlying the Funds’ loans in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013 resulted in valuation gains. This was not repeated in the same magnitude in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Other revenues

 

Net interest expense increased $2.8 million and $3.4 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013 due to growth in our investments in non-interest earning assets — primarily MSRs which are financed in part with ESS financing. Income from MSRs is included in Net loan servicing fees .

Change in fair value of investment in and dividends received from PMT increased $217,000 and $245,000, respectively, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase was primarily due to a smaller decrease in the fair value of our investment in common shares of PMT during the periods ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the periods ended June 30, 2013. During the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we held 75,000 common shares of PMT.

Compensation expense increased $4.6 million and $11.8 million, respectively, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase in compensation expense was due to the development of and growth in our loan servicing segment as well as stock-based compensation reflecting the amortization of equity awards that we granted to our directors and certain officers and employees of PennyMac.

 

Loan origination expense decreased $518,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The decrease was due to decreased loan production in 2014 compared to 2013.

 

Technology expense increased $1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase was due to growth in loan servicing operations and continued investment in loan production infrastructure.

 

Servicing expense increased $10.1 million and $11.6 million, respectively, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase was due to growth in our mortgage servicing portfolio and approximately $7 million was due to the initiation of an early buyout (“EBO”) program to purchase defaulted loans out of legacy Ginnie Mae pools.  The purchase of $575 million in UPB of EBOs produced current period expense as accumulated net interest advances are charged to servicing expense when the loans are purchased from the Ginnie Mae pools.  The economic benefit of EBO is reduced servicing costs by purchasing and either selling the defaulted loans or otherwise financing them with debt at interest rates below the Ginnie Mae MBS pass-through rates rather than advancing principal and interest on such defaulted loans at the Ginnie Mae MBS pass-through rate until liquidation.

 

Expenses Allocated to PMT

 

PMT reimburses us for other expenses, including common overhead expenses incurred on its behalf by us, in accordance with the terms of our management agreement with PMT.  The expense amounts presented in our income statement are net of these allocations.  Expense amounts allocated to PMT during the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are summarized below:

Provision for Income Taxes

 

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, our effective tax rates were 11.4% and 11.3%, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, our effective tax rates were 4.1% and 1.9%, respectively. The difference between our effective tax rate and the statutory rate is primarily due to the allocation of earnings to the noncontrolling interest unitholders. As the

noncontrolling interest unitholders convert their ownership units into our shares, we expect an increase in allocated earnings that will be subject to corporate federal and state statutory tax rates, which will in turn increase our effective income tax rate.

Total assets increased $597.7 million from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2013 to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $469.4 million in mortgage loans held for sale at fair value primarily related to the initiation of the EBO program and an increase of $138.0 million in MSRs, resulting from growth in our mortgage banking operations and purchases of MSRs, partially offset by a decrease in cash and short-term investments of $56.0 million as we deployed cash and proceeds from sales of ESS to fund balance sheet growth.

 

Total liabilities increased by $505.2 million from $955.3 million as of December 31, 2013 to $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage loans sold under agreements to repurchase of $353.7 million and an increase in liabilities relating to the sale of ESS to PMT of $51.5 million.

 

Cash Flows

 

Comparison of six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Our cash flows resulted in a net increase in cash of $40.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Cash used in operating activities totaled $431.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The cash used in operating activities was primarily due to growth of our portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale as a result of our loan production and EBO purchases of loans exceeded loan sales.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The net cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the sale of a portfolio of MSRs backed by distressed mortgage loans.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $466.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to sales of loans under agreements to repurchase.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including our operating expenses and, when applicable, the retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt, and margin calls relating to hedges on our commitments to purchase or originate mortgage loans), fund new originations and purchases, and make investments as we identify them. We expect our primary sources of

 

62



Table of Contents

 

liquidity to be through cash flows from business activities, earnings on our investments and proceeds from borrowings, proceeds from issuance of ESS financing and/or additional equity offerings. We believe that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs.

 

Our current leverage strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. Our borrowing activities are in the form of sales of mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase, ESS financing and a note payable secured by mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and loan servicing advances.

 

Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of mortgage loans together with agreements for us to buy back the mortgage loans at a later date. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the average balance outstanding under agreements to repurchase mortgage loans totaled $410.2 million, and the maximum daily amount outstanding under such agreements totaled $873.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the average balance outstanding under agreements to repurchase mortgage loans totaled $344.3 million, and the maximum daily amount outstanding under such agreements totaled $623.5 million.

 

The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding is due to increases in the sizes and utilization of our existing facilities, all in support of the growth in our mortgage loan production and investment activities.

 

All of our borrowings discussed above have short-term maturities. The transactions relating to mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase mature between September 8, 2014 and June 29, 2015 and provide for the repurchase from major financial institution counterparties based on the estimated fair value of the mortgage loans sold. Our note payable secured by MSRs and loan servicing advances at fair value has a maturity date of October 31, 2014.

 

PLS’s debt financing agreements require it to comply with various financial covenants. The most significant financial covenants currently include the following:

 

·                   positive net income during each calendar quarter;

 

·                   a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $20 million;

 

·                   a minimum tangible net worth of $200 million;

 

·                   a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1; and

 

·                   at least one other warehouse or repurchase facility that finances amounts and assets similar to those being financed under our existing debt financing agreements.

 

Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to successfully operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.

 

With respect to servicing that we perform for PMT, we are also subject to certain covenants under its debt agreements. These covenants are similar to those above.

 

Our debt financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decline in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

 

We have purchased portfolios of MSRs and have financed them in part through the sale to PMT of the right to receive ESS. The repayment of the ESS financing is based on amounts received on the underlying mortgage loans.

 

We continue to explore a variety of additional means of financing our continued growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, additional repurchase agreements and corporate debt. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or whether such efforts will be successful.

Contractual Obligations

 

As of June 30, 2014, we had on-balance sheet contractual obligations of $825.3 million to finance assets under agreements to repurchase under facilities with maturities between July 24, 2014 and June 29, 2015. We also had a contractual obligation of $115.3 million relating to a note payable secured by MSRs and loan servicing advances at fair value and with a maturity date of October 31, 2014. We also lease our primary office facilities under an agreement that expires on February 28, 2017 and we license certain software to support our loan servicing operations.

Debt Obligations

 

As described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we currently finance certain of our assets through borrowings with major financial institution counterparties in the form of sales of mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase, and a note payable secured by MSRs and loan servicing advances. The borrower under each of these facilities is PLS, and all obligations thereunder are guaranteed by Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC.

 

Under the terms of these agreements, PLS is required to comply with certain financial covenants, as described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” and various non-financial covenants customary for transactions of this nature. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.

 

64



Table of Contents

 

The agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.

 

In addition, the agreements contain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, servicer termination events and defaults, material adverse changes, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for these types of transactions. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for these types of transactions and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreements and the liquidation by our lenders of the mortgage loans or other collateral then subject to the agreements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market-based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and market value risk.

 

The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were (i) performed at a particular point in time, (ii) only contemplate certain movements in interest rates, (iii) do not incorporate changes in interest rate volatility or changes in the relationship of one interest rate index to another, (iv) are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used, including prepayment forecasts and discount rates, and (v) do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the following estimates should not be viewed as an earnings forecast.

The following tables summarize the estimated change in fair value of MSRs accounted for using the amortization method as of June 30, 2014, given several shifts in pricing spreads, prepayment speed and annual per-loan cost of servicing:

Factors That May Affect Our Future Results

 

This Report contains certain forward- looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Forward- looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “plan” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward- looking information. Examples of forward-looking statements include the following:

 

·                   Projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital structure or other financial items;

 

·                   Descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services;

 

·                   Forecasts of our future economic performance, interest rates, profit margins and our share of future markets; and

 

·                   Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing expectations regarding the timing of generating any revenues.

 

Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations. Some of these factors are discussed below.

 

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report and as set forth in Item IA. of Part II hereof and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2014 .

 

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include but are not limited to:

 

·                   The continually changing federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to the highly regulated industry in which we operate;

 

·                   Lawsuits or governmental actions if we do not comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our businesses;

 

·                   The creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), its recently effective and future rules and the enforcement thereof by the CFPB;

 

·                   Changes in existing U.S. government-sponsored entities, their current roles or their guarantees or guidelines;

 

·                   Changes to government mortgage modification programs;

 

·                   The licensing and operational requirements of states and other jurisdictions applicable to our businesses, to which our bank competitors are not subject;

 

·                   Foreclosure delays and changes in foreclosure practices;

 

·                   Certain banking regulations that may limit our business activities;

 

·                   Changes in macroeconomic and U.S. residential real estate market conditions;

 

·                   Difficulties inherent in growing loan production volume;

 

·                   Difficulties inherent in adjusting the size of our operations to reflect changes in business levels;

 

·                   Purchase opportunities for mortgage servicing rights and our success in winning bids;

 

·                   Changes in prevailing interest rates;

 

·                   Increases in loan delinquencies and defaults;

 

·                   Our reliance on PMT as a significant source of financing for, and revenue related to, our mortgage banking business;

 

·                   Any required additional capital and liquidity to support business growth that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all;

 

·                   Our obligation to indemnify third-party purchasers or repurchase loans if loans that we originate, acquire, service or assist in the fulfillment of, fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

 

·                   Our obligation to indemnify PMT and the Investment Funds if our services fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

 

67



Table of Contents

 

·                   Decreases in the historical returns on the assets that we select and manage for our clients, and our resulting management and incentive fees;

 

·                   The extensive amount of regulation applicable to our investment management segment;

 

·                   Conflicts of interest in allocating our services and investment opportunities among ourselves and our Advised Entities;

 

·                   The potential damage to our reputation and adverse impact to our business resulting from the ongoing negative publicity focused on Countrywide Financial Corporation, given the former association of certain of our officers with that entity; and

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30 , 2014. Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of June 30 , 2014, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  No matter how well a control system is designed and operated, it can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.

Effective April 11, 2013, we received a Notice of Election of Exchange under our Exchange Agreement from a unitholder related to the exchange of 100,000 Class A units for an equivalent number of shares of our Class A Common Stock. Effective April 25, 2013, we also received a Notice of Election of Exchange from that same unitholder related to the exchange of 200,000 Class A units for an equivalent number of shares of our Class A Common Stock. In connection with delivering each Notice of Election of Exchange, the unitholder surrendered to us Class A units for cancellation and was issued an equal amount of unregistered shares of Class A Common Stock that qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 5. Other Information

 

On August 13, 2014, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), entered into a mortgage loan participation and sale agreement, by and among Bank of America, N.A. (“BANA”), PLS and Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”) (the “BANA Participation Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the BANA Participation Agreement, PLS may sell to BANA participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a pool of mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae and are pending securitization. In connection with its sale of any participation certificate, PLS will also assign to BANA a take-out commitment, which evidences PLS’s right to sell to a third party investor the security backed by the mortgage loans underlying the related participation certificate.

 

The purchase price paid by BANA for each participation certificate is based on the trade price (expressed as a percentage) of the security multiplied by its principal amount, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment and any related hedging costs. At the time of its purchase of a participation certificate, BANA retains a holdback amount that is based on a percentage of the purchase price and is not required to be paid to PLS until the settlement of the security and its delivery to BANA.

 

The BANA Participation Agreement requires PLS to maintain various covenants that are customary for this type of transaction, as well as financial covenants that include the following:  (i) an adjusted tangible net worth of at least $200 million; (ii) a ratio of total liabilities to adjusted tangible net worth not to exceed 10:1; (iii) liquidity of not less than $20 million; and (iv) quarterly net income of not less than $1.00.

 

The BANA Participation Agreement also contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, servicer termination events, material adverse changes, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of all amounts due under the BANA Participation Agreement and indemnity by PLS, as well as the ability of BANA to possess the mortgage loans and retain any holdback amounts.

 

The Company, through PLS, is required to pay BANA fees for the structuring of the BANA Participation Agreement, as well as certain other administrative costs and expenses.  The BANA Participation Agreement is effective until January 30, 2015, and the obligations of PLS are fully guaranteed by PennyMac.

 

The foregoing description of the BANA Participation Agreement and the related guaranty by PennyMac do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the BANA Participation Agreement and the related guaranty, which have been filed with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibits 10.72 and 10.73, respectively.

MORTGAGE LOAN PARTICIPATION PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

 

This is a MORTGAGE LOAN PARTICIPATION PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of August 13, 2014, among Bank of America, N.A. (“ Purchaser ”), PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“ Seller ”) and Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“ Guarantor ”).

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 

Seller desires to sell to Purchaser from time to time all of Seller’s beneficial right, title and interest in and to designated pools of fully amortizing first lien residential Mortgage Loans eligible in the aggregate to back Securities, and the servicing rights relating thereto, with the terms described in related Takeout Commitments, each in the form of a 100% undivided beneficial ownership interest evidenced by a Participation Certificate.

 

Purchaser desires and may, in its sole discretion, purchase such Participation Certificates from Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  Seller, subject to the terms hereof, will cause (a) the Related Mortgage Loans to back a GNMA Security issued by Seller and guaranteed by GNMA, a FNMA Security issued and guaranteed by FNMA, or a FHLMC Security issued and guaranteed by FHLMC and (b) Delivery of such GNMA Security, FNMA Security, or FHLMC Security by GNMA, FNMA, or FHLMC, respectively, to Purchaser or its designee in exchange for the Related Participation Certificate, which GNMA Security, FNMA Security or FHLMC Security, as applicable, will be purchased by the Takeout Investor.

 

Purchaser’s willingness to purchase any Participation Certificate evidencing a beneficial interest in the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing rights related thereto is at the sole discretion of Purchaser and based on Purchaser’s expectation, in reliance upon Seller’s representations and warranties herein, that (a) such Mortgage Loans in the aggregate, constitute a pool or pools of mortgage loans that are eligible to back a Security, (b) such Mortgage Loans are sufficient for Seller to issue and GNMA to guarantee the GNMA Security, FNMA to issue and guarantee a FNMA Security, or FHLMC to issue and guarantee a FHLMC Security, as applicable, (c) such Security will be issued in the amount and with the terms described in the related Takeout Commitment, and (d) Purchaser will receive Delivery of such Security on the specified Anticipated Delivery Date.

 

The amount of the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller with respect to each Participation Certificate will be calculated on the expectation of Purchaser, based upon the representations and warranties of Seller herein, that Purchaser will receive Delivery of the Security to be backed by the Related Mortgage Loans on the specified Anticipated Delivery Date, and that failure to receive such Delivery will result in a material decrease in the market value of the Participation Certificate and the Related Mortgage Loans considered as a whole.  During the period from the purchase of a Participation Certificate to Delivery of the related Security, Purchaser expects to rely entirely upon Seller to subservice or cause the Subservicer to subservice the Related Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Purchaser, it being acknowledged that the continued effectiveness of Seller’s Approvals during such period constitutes an essential factor in the calculation by Purchaser of the Purchase Price paid to Seller for the Related Participation Certificate and that loss of such Approvals by Seller would result in a material decrease in the market value of the Participation Certificate and the Related Mortgage Loans considered as a whole.

Seller hereby acknowledges that, in order for Purchaser to satisfy the “good delivery standards” of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“ SIFMA ”) as set forth in the SIFMA Uniform Practices Manual and SIFMA’s Uniform Practices for the Clearance and Settlement of Mortgage Backed Securities and other Related Securities, in each case, as amended from time to time, Purchaser must deliver each Trade Assignment to the related Takeout Investor no later than seventy-two (72) hours prior to settlement of the related Security.  Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees to deliver each Trade Assignment to Purchaser no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date on which such seventy-two (72) hour period commences.

(b)                                  Subject to Section 5(b)  and the Purchaser’s right of set-off set forth in Section 13 , the Holdback Amount relating to each Participation Certificate shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller not later than the Settlement Date of the related Security; provided , that on the date of any such payment to the Seller, the Holdback Amount shall be (i) reduced by the positive difference (if any) between the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and the Present Value Adjustment Amount with respect to such Participation Certificate or (ii) increased by the positive difference (if any) between the Present Value Adjustment Amount and the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount with respect to such Participation Certificate.  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, no Holdback Amount shall be owed by Purchaser to Seller upon issuance of any Security in the circumstances contemplated in Section 6(f)  or if the related Security shall not be issued as a result of a Security Issuance Failure.  No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 4(b)  shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                   Upon exercise by Purchaser of its remedies under Section 6(f) , Purchaser’s obligation to pay and Seller’s right to receive any portion of the Holdback Amount relating to such Mortgage Loans shall automatically be canceled and become null and void; provided , that such cancellation shall in no way relieve Seller or otherwise affect the obligation of Seller to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless as specified in Section 14 .  At no time shall Seller have any beneficial interest in the servicing rights with respect to Related Mortgage Loans while the related Participation Certificate is outstanding.

 

Section 5.                                            Issuance of Securities .

 

(a)                                  (i)  In connection with the purchase of a Participation Certificate, Seller shall instruct (and, if Seller fails to instruct, then Purchaser may instruct) Custodian to deliver to the Applicable Agency, the documents listed in Exhibit 16-A , 16-B or 16-C of the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, in respect of the Related Mortgage Loans, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Custodial Agreement.  Seller shall thereafter promptly deliver to the Applicable Agency any and all additional documents requested by the Applicable Agency to enable the Applicable Agency to make Delivery to Purchaser of a Security backed by such Mortgage Loans on the related Anticipated Delivery Date.  Seller shall not revoke such instructions to Custodian and shall not revoke its instructions to the Applicable Agency to make Delivery to Purchaser or its designee of a Security backed by such Mortgage Loans.

 

(ii)                                   Seller shall notify Purchaser, not later than 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on the second (2 nd ) Business Day prior to the applicable Settlement Date (a) of the amount of any change in the principal amount of the Mortgage Loans backing each such Security related to such Settlement Date and (b) with respect to FHLMC Securities, the FHLMC mortgage loan pool number applicable to each Security to which such Settlement Date relates.  Upon Delivery of such Security to Purchaser or its designee, Purchaser shall cease to have any interest under such Participation Certificate and in exchange shall have a 100% ownership interest in the related Security.  It is understood and agreed that for so long as Seller is subservicing, or is causing any third party Subservicer to subservice, Related Mortgage Loans, Seller shall retain only bare legal title (and not an equitable interest) in all such Mortgage Loans (other than MERS Mortgage Loans) for the sole purpose of subservicing such Mortgage Loans on a servicing-released basis.

 

(b)                                  If Delivery of a Security backed by the Mortgage Loans evidenced by a Participation Certificate purchased hereunder has not occurred by 12:00 noon (Eastern Time), on the related Settlement Date as a result of a Security Issuance Failure, then subject to the exercise by Purchaser

 

16



 

of its rights set forth in Section 4(c) , the Holdback Amount relating to such Participation Certificate shall be reduced on each day during the period from the Settlement Date to (but not including) the earlier of (x) the date of Delivery of such Security, and (y) the date of satisfaction of the obligations of Seller pursuant to the exercise by Purchaser of any remedial election authorized by this Section 5 , by an amount equal to the Daily Holdback Reduction Amount.  The Holdback Amount (as reduced by the applicable Daily Holdback Reduction Amounts) relating to such Participation Certificate, if any, shall not be payable until the end of the period specified in the preceding sentence.

 

(c)                                   If a breach by Seller of this Agreement results in any Related Mortgage Loan being a Defective Mortgage Loan on the Purchase Date of the related Participation Certificate, Purchaser in its sole discretion may require Seller to, upon receipt of notice from Purchaser of its exercise of such right, either (x) immediately repurchase Purchaser’s beneficial ownership interest in such Defective Mortgage Loan by remitting to Purchaser the allocable amount paid by Purchaser for such beneficial interest plus accrued interest at the rate specified in the related Mortgage Note on the principal amount thereof from the date of Purchaser’s purchase of such Participation Certificate to the date of such repurchase together with any Losses suffered by Purchaser relating to such repurchase (including, without limitation, any Losses incurred by Purchaser resulting from adjustments to the trade required by the Takeout Investor), or (y) deliver to Custodian a Mortgage Loan eligible to back such Security in exchange for such Defective Mortgage Loan, which newly delivered Mortgage Loan shall be in all respects acceptable to Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole discretion, and such newly delivered Mortgage Loan will thereupon become one of the Related Mortgage Loans relating to the Participation Certificate.  If the aggregate principal balance of any Mortgage Loans that are accepted by Purchaser pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence is less than the aggregate principal balance of any Defective Mortgage Loan that is being replaced by such Mortgage Loan, Seller shall remit with such Mortgage Loan to Purchaser an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate principal balance of the new Mortgage Loan accepted by Purchaser and the aggregate principal balance of the Defective Mortgage Loan being replaced thereby plus accrued interest on such Defective Mortgage Loan at the rate specified in the related Mortgage Note on the principal amount thereof from the Purchase Date of Purchaser’s purchase of such Participation Certificate to the date of substitution.  If any Related Mortgage Loan becomes thirty (30) or more days past due with respect to the first scheduled monthly payment due Purchaser after the date on which such Related Mortgage Loan was originated and prior to the Anticipated Delivery Date, Seller shall repurchase the beneficial interest in such Related Mortgage Loan as if it were a Defective Mortgage Loan upon direction by Purchaser given no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Purchase Date.

 

(d)                                  No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 5 shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.

 

Section 6.                                            Servicing of the Mortgage Loans; Events of Default .

 

(a)                                  Upon payment of the Purchase Price (subject to Section 4 ), Purchaser shall own a 100% undivided beneficial interest in the servicing rights related to the Related Mortgage Loans and all source files, documents, agreements and papers related to servicing the Related Mortgage Loans and shall own all derivative information created by Seller or other third party used or useful in servicing such Mortgage Loans.  Seller and Purchaser each agrees and acknowledges that a 100% undivided beneficial interest in Related Mortgage Loans shall be sold to Purchaser on a servicing released basis, subject to the termination rights provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 6(f)  of this Agreement, and that Purchaser is engaging, and Purchaser does hereby engage, Seller to provide, or cause a third party Subservicer to provide, subservicing of each Related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of Purchaser (and any other registered holder of the related Participation Certificate) on the Purchase Date

 

17

(b)                                  Seller shall, and shall cause any third party Subservicer to, subservice and administer the Related Mortgage Loans relating to a Participation Certificate on behalf of Purchaser in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.  Neither Seller nor any Subservicer shall have the right to modify or alter the terms of any Related Mortgage Loan or consent to the modification or alteration of the terms of any Related Mortgage Loan except in Strict Compliance with the related Agency Program.  Seller shall, and shall cause any third party Subservicer to, at all times maintain accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Related Mortgage Loans, and Purchaser may, at any time during Seller’s business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such Servicing Records.  Seller agrees that Purchaser is the 100% beneficial owner of all Servicing Records relating to the Related Mortgage Loans.  Seller covenants to hold such Servicing Records for the benefit of Purchaser and to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian) at Purchaser’s request or otherwise as required by operation of this Section 6 .  In addition, if Delivery of a Security is not made to Purchaser on or before the Anticipated Delivery Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser monthly reports regarding the status of those Related Mortgage Loans for which a Security has not yet been issued, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of those Related Mortgage Loans in default for more than thirty (30) days, and such other circumstances with respect to any Related Mortgage Loans (whether or not such Related Mortgage Loans are included in the foregoing list) that could materially adversely affect any of such Related Mortgage Loans, Purchaser’s beneficial interest in such Related Mortgage Loans or the collateral securing any of such Related Mortgage Loans.  Seller shall deliver such a report to Purchaser every thirty (30) days until (i) Delivery of the related Security to Purchaser or (ii) the exercise by Purchaser of any remedial election pursuant to Section 5 .  In no event shall Seller delegate any of its subservicing duties hereunder to any other Person without first obtaining the prior written consent of Purchaser.

 

(c)                                   Seller, as servicer, shall establish and maintain with Purchaser a separate custodial account (the “ Custodial Account ”) entitled “PennyMac Loan Services, LLC Custodial Account, for the benefit of Bank of America, N.A. and its assignees under the Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of August 13, 2014” and shall promptly deposit into such account in the form received, with any necessary endorsements, all collections received in respect of the Related Mortgage Loans relating to Participation Certificates purchased by Purchaser hereunder.

 

(d)                                  Amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to any Related Mortgage Loan relating to Participation Certificates purchased by Purchaser hereunder shall be held for the benefit of Purchaser and shall be released only as follows:

(iii)                                If a Security is not issued solely as a result of a Security Issuance Failure during the month in which the related Settlement Date occurs, in any period thereafter during which Seller or a third party Subservicer remains as subservicer, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be released only in accordance with Purchaser’s written instructions.

 

(e)                                   Purchaser (or any other registered holder of the Related Participation Certificate) shall be entitled to (i) retain all Holdback Amounts in accordance with Section 4 , and all amounts on deposit in the Over/Under Account in accordance with Section 11 , (ii) declare all amounts payable by Seller to Purchaser hereunder to be immediately due and payable, (iii) effect termination of Seller’s subservicing rights and obligations respecting the affected Related Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 6(f) , (iv) take possession of the Related Mortgage Loans, including any records that pertain thereto, (v) proceed against Seller for any deficiencies, (vi) liquidate, terminate and accelerate this Agreement and all transactions hereunder, and (vii) pursue any other rights and/or remedies available at law or in equity against Seller, upon the occurrence of any of the following circumstances or events (“ Events of Default ”):

20



 

and duties under this Agreement relating thereto, shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer appointed by Purchaser and Purchaser is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer such rights to subservice the Related Mortgage Loans for such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall reasonably determine; provided , that to the extent the Applicable Agency proceeds to issue a Security with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans, Purchaser shall convey the servicing rights and the rights to subservice such Mortgage Loans in accordance with such Applicable Agency’s instructions.  Seller shall promptly take such actions and furnish to Purchaser such documents that Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to enable Purchaser to obtain a Security backed by such Mortgage Loans or to enforce such Mortgage Loans, as appropriate, and shall perform all acts and take all actions so that the Related Mortgage Loans and all files and documents relating to such Mortgage Loans held by Seller, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans, are delivered to Successor Servicer, including but not limited to preparing, executing and delivering to the Successor Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, placing in the Successor Servicer’s possession all Servicing Records pertaining to such Mortgage Loans and doing or causing to be done, all at Seller’s sole expense.  To the extent that the approval of the Applicable Agency is required for any such sale or transfer, Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to obtain such approval.  All amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service or subservice the Related Mortgage Loans shall be the property of Purchaser.  The subservicing rights required to be delivered to Successor Servicer in accordance with this Section 6(f)  shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of Seller or any third party (other than Purchaser) and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of Seller other than bare legal title to the Mortgage Loans.  No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 6(f)  shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.                                            Transfers of Participation Certificates and Securities by Purchaser .  Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Seller, assign all of its right, title and interest or grant a security interest in any Participation Certificate and the related servicing rights, each Security in respect thereof of which Delivery is made to Purchaser and all rights of Purchaser under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Custodial Account) in respect of such Participation Certificate and such Security, to any person (an “ Assignee ”), subject only to an obligation on the part of the Assignee to deliver each such Security to the Takeout Investor or to Purchaser to permit Purchaser or its designee to make delivery thereof to the Takeout Investor.  Assignment by Purchaser of a Participation Certificate and the related servicing rights as provided in this Section 7 will not release Purchaser from its obligations otherwise under this Agreement.

 

Without limitation of the foregoing, an assignment of a Participation Certificate and the related servicing rights to an Assignee, as described in this Section 7 , shall be effective upon delivery of the Participation Certificate to the Assignee or its designee, together with a duly executed Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit E (with a copy to Seller).

 

Section 8.                                            Record Title to Mortgage Loans; Intent of Parties; Security Interest .

 

(a)                                  From and after the issuance and delivery of the Related Participation Certificate, and subject to the remedies of Purchaser in Section 5 , Seller or Subservicer as subservicer shall remain the last named payee or endorsee of each Mortgage Note and the mortgagee or assignee of record of each Mortgage (except with respect to any MERS Mortgage Loan) and shall retain only bare legal title (and not an equitable interest) in the Related Mortgage Loan, all for the benefit of Purchaser for the sole purpose of facilitating the subservicing of such Mortgage Loan and the issuance of a Security backed by such Mortgage Loan.  Where Seller has appointed FHLMC as Custodian, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Mortgage Notes acquired hereunder have been deposited with FHLMC to facilitate the issuance of FHLMC Securities with respect thereto and that prior to such issuance FHLMC is holding such Mortgage Notes as Custodian for Purchaser.

 

21



 

(b)                                  Seller shall maintain a complete set of books and records for each Related Mortgage Loan which shall be clearly marked to reflect the beneficial ownership interest in each Related Mortgage Loan of the holder of the Related Participation Certificate.  Seller shall notify MERS of the beneficial ownership interest of Purchaser in each MERS Mortgage Loan through the MORNET system or any other comparable system acceptable to MERS.

 

(c)                                   Purchaser and Seller confirm that the transactions contemplated herein are intended to be sales of the Participation Certificates by Seller to Purchaser rather than borrowings secured by the Participation Certificates.  In the event, for any reason, any transaction is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, Seller and Purchaser intend that Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first priority security interest in Seller’s interest in the Participation Certificates, all of the servicing rights with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and all amounts on deposit therein, the Related Mortgage Loans subject to each Participation Certificate, all documents, records (including, without limitation, Servicing Records and copies of all documentation in connection with the underwriting and origination of any Related Mortgage Loan that evidences compliance with the Ability to Repay Rule and the QM Rule), instruments and data evidencing the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing thereof, the Securities to be issued as contemplated hereunder and all proceeds thereof, the Takeout Commitments, any funds of the Seller at any time deposited or held in the Over/Under Account and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “ Collateral ”), free and clear of adverse claims.  In any case, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims.  This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest herein granted to Purchaser, and Purchaser or each such Assignee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that the servicing rights with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans were not sold by Seller to Purchaser or that that such servicing rights are not an interest in the Related Mortgage Loans and are severable from the Related Mortgage Loans despite Purchaser’s and Seller’s express intent herein to treat them as included in the purchase and sale transaction, Seller hereby expressly pledges, assigns and grants to Purchaser a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the servicing rights and all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to such servicing rights and the servicing of each of the Related Mortgage Loans (the “ Related Credit Enhancement ”).  The Collateral and Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s obligations to Purchaser hereunder.

 

(d)                                  Upon request of Purchaser, Seller shall prepare and deliver to MERS an Assignment of Mortgage from MERS to Purchaser or its designee.  Upon due execution by MERS, Seller shall cause such Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded in the public land records upon request of Purchaser.

“qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

 

(d)                                  It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“ FDICIA ”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation,” respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA.

EXECUTION

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY, dated as of August 13, 2014, made by Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Guarantor ”), in favor of Bank of America, N.A. (“ Buyer ”).

 

WHEREAS, the Guarantor previously entered into a Guaranty, dated as of March 17, 2011 (the “ Existing Guaranty ”) in favor of the Buyer; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties have requested that the Existing Guaranty be amended and restated, in its entirety, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

RECITALS

 

Pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Repurchase Agreement ”), among PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“ Seller ”), Guarantor and Buyer, Buyer has agreed from time to time to enter into transactions in which Seller agrees to transfer to Buyer Mortgage Loans against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to transfer to Seller such Mortgage Loans at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds by Seller.  Each such transaction shall be referred to herein as a “ Transaction ”.  It is a condition precedent to the obligation of Buyer to enter into Transactions under the Repurchase Agreement that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty to Buyer.

 

Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Purchase and Sale Agreement ”), among Seller, Guarantor and Buyer, Buyer has agreed to purchase certain participation certificates representing 100% beneficial ownership interests in certain residential mortgage loans from the Seller.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, to induce Buyer to enter into the Repurchase Agreement and to enter into Transactions thereunder and to enter into the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Guarantor hereby agrees with Buyer, as follows:

 

1.                                       Defined Terms .

 

(a)                                  Unless otherwise defined herein, terms which are defined in the Repurchase Agreement or the Purchase and Sale Agreement, as applicable, and used herein are so used as so defined.

 

(b)                                  For purposes of this Guaranty, “Obligations” shall mean all obligations and liabilities of Seller to Buyer, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, or out of or in connection with the Repurchase Agreement and any other Program Agreements and the Purchase

 



 

and Sale Agreement and any other Program Documents and any other document made, delivered or given in connection therewith or herewith, whether on account of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel to Buyer that are required to be paid by Seller pursuant to the terms of the Program Agreements and the Program Documents and costs of enforcement of this Guaranty) or otherwise.

 

2.                                       Guaranty .

 

(a)                                  Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyer the prompt and complete payment and performance by Seller when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

 

(b)                                  Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by Buyer in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, Guarantor under this Guaranty.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the termination of the Repurchase Agreement, (ii) the termination of the Purchase and Sale Agreement or (iii) the Obligations are paid in full, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto Seller may be free from any Obligations.

 

(c)                                   No payment or payments made by Seller or any other Person or received or collected by Buyer from Seller or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable for the amount of the outstanding Obligations until the outstanding Obligations are paid in full.

 

(d)                                  Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, Guarantor shall make any payment to Buyer on account of Guarantor’s liability hereunder, Guarantor will notify Buyer in writing that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose.

 

3.                                       Right of Set-off .  Buyer is hereby irrevocably authorized at any time and from time to time without notice to Guarantor, any such notice being hereby waived by Guarantor, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all monies and other property of Guarantor, deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer of any affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as Buyer may elect, on account of the Obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder and claims of every nature and description of Buyer against Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Repurchase Agreement or the Purchase and Sale Agreement or otherwise, as Buyer may elect, whether or not Buyer has made any demand for payment and although such Obligations and liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Buyer shall notify

 

2



 

Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by Buyer, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of Buyer under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Buyer may have.

 

4.                                       Subrogation .  Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of Guarantor by Buyer, Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Buyer against Seller or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by Buyer for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Seller or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to Buyer by Seller on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Repurchase Agreement or the Purchase and Sale Agreement, as applicable, is terminated.  If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amounts shall be held by Guarantor for the benefit of Buyer, segregated from other funds of Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Guarantor, be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by Guarantor (duly indorsed by Guarantor to Buyer, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Buyer may determine.

 

5.                                       Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations .  Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by Buyer may be rescinded by Buyer, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Buyer, and the Repurchase Agreement, and the other Program Agreements, and the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and the other Program Documents, and any other document in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, pursuant to its terms and as Buyer may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Buyer for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Buyer shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guaranty or any property subject thereto.  When making any demand hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on Seller and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand or to collect any payments from Seller or any release of Seller shall not relieve Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Buyer against Guarantor.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

6.                                       Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional .

 

(a)                                  Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed

 

3



 

to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived in reliance upon this Guaranty; and all dealings between Seller or Guarantor, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.  Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Seller or the Guaranty with respect to the Obligations.  This Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of the Repurchase Agreement, the other Program Agreements, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the other Program Documents, any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Buyer, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Seller against Buyer, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Seller or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Seller for the Obligations, or of Guarantor under this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies that they may have against Seller or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Buyer to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Seller or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Seller or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Buyer against Guarantor.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon Guarantor and their successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, and successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations and the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have been satisfied by payment in full, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Repurchase Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Seller may be free from any Obligations.

 

(b)                                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby agrees, acknowledges, and represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

 

(i)                                      Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, and any and all right to assert against Buyer any claim or defense based upon, an election of remedies by Buyer which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes Guarantor’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against Seller or any other guarantor for reimbursement or contribution, and/or any other rights of Guarantor to proceed against Seller, against any other guarantor, or against any other person or security.

 

(ii)                                   Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Seller and of all other circumstances which diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations.  Guarantor hereby covenants that it will make its own investigation and will continue to keep itself informed of Seller’s financial condition, the status of other guarantors, if any, of all other circumstances which bear

 

4



 

upon the risk of nonpayment and that it will continue to rely upon sources other than Buyer for such information and will not rely upon Buyer for any such information.  Absent a written request for such information by Guarantor to Buyer, Guarantor hereby waives its right, if any, to require Buyer to disclose to Guarantor any information which Buyer may now or hereafter acquire concerning such condition or circumstances including, but not limited to, the release of or revocation by any other guarantor.

 

(iii)                                Guarantor has independently reviewed the Repurchase Agreement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement and related agreements and has made an independent determination as to the validity and enforceability thereof, and in executing and delivering this Guaranty to Buyer, Guarantor is not in any manner relying upon the validity, and/or enforceability, and/or attachment, and/or perfection of any Liens or security interests of any kind or nature granted by Seller or any other guarantor to Buyer, now or at any time and from time to time in the future.

 

7.                                       Reinstatement .  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Seller or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

 

8.                                       Payments .  Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations will be paid to Buyer without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars.

 

9.                                       Event of Default .  If an Event of Default under the Repurchase Agreement or the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, Guarantor agrees that, as between Guarantor and Buyer, the Obligations may be declared to be due in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Agreement or the Purchase and Sale Agreement for purposes of this Guaranty notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any such declaration as against a Seller and that, in the event of any such declaration (or attempted declaration), such Obligations shall forthwith become due by Guarantor for purposes of this Guaranty.

 

10.                                Severability .  Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

11.                                Headings .  The paragraph headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

 

12.                                No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies .  Buyer shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to paragraph 13 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default,

 

5



 

Potential Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Buyer, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by Buyer of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Buyer would otherwise have on any future occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

13.                                Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law .  None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by Guarantor and Buyer, provided that any provision of this Guaranty may be waived by Buyer in a letter or agreement executed by Buyer or by facsimile or electronic transmission from Buyer to Guarantor.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon the personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer and its successors and assigns.  .

 

14.                                Notices .  Notices delivered in connection with this Guaranty shall be given in accordance with Section 20 of the Repurchase Agreement and Section 20 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

 

15.                                Jurisdiction .

 

(a)                                  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(b)                                  GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY.  GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS OR THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS OR THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS.

 

16.                                Integration .  This Guaranty represents the agreement of Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by Buyer relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein.

 

17.                                Acknowledgments .  Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:

 

(a)                                  Guarantor has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the other Program Agreements and Program Documents;

 

6



 

(b)                                  Buyer does not have any fiduciary relationship to Guarantor, Guarantor does not have any fiduciary relationship to Buyer and the relationship between Buyer and Guarantor is solely that of surety and creditor; and

 

(c)                                   no joint venture exists between Buyer and Guarantor or among Buyer, Seller and Guarantor.

 

18.                                Amendment and Restatement .  The terms and provisions of the Existing Guaranty shall be amended and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Guaranty, and the provisions of this Guaranty shall supersede all provisions of the Existing Guaranty as of the date hereof.  From and after the date hereof, all references made to the Existing Guaranty in any Program Agreement or in any Program Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without more, be deemed to refer to this Guaranty.
