It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture Supplement is executed and delivered by Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“ WSFS ”), not individually or personally, but solely as trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements by WSFS, but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on WSFS, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (d) WSFS has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by the Issuer in this Agreement and (e) under no circumstances shall WSFS, be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture Supplement or the other Transaction Documents.

Section 15. Credit Risk Retention.

While it is not clear that Section 15G of the 1934 Act, added pursuant to Section 941(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“ Regulation RR ”), applies to the issuance of the Series 2018-FT1 Term Notes and that PMC will be deemed a securitizer for the purposes of Regulation RR, PMC will maintain a subordinated seller’s interest in the Issuer (in the form of the Owner Trust Certificate) that equals not less than 5% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of any Outstanding Notes (other than Notes held to maturity by PMC or its wholly-owned affiliates), calculated in accordance with Regulation RR.

The seller’s interest expected to be retained by PMC in connection with Regulation RR (to the extent applicable), will equal approximately 21.0% or $94,682,583 (in each case, as calculated in accordance with Regulation RR), as of the Issuance Date.  As the Series 2017-VF1 Notes have not been issued and are held by PMC and financed by Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, the Note Balance of the Series 2017-VF1 Notes is not included in the denominator of the calculation that produced the percentage described above in accordance with Regulation RR.  The VFN Repurchase Agreement may be syndicated with other financing parties in addition to CSCIB on or about the Issuance Date. If the Note Balance of the Series 2017-VF1 Notes were included in the denominator, the resulting percentage of the seller’s interest would be lower but still in excess of the required 5%.
