It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 13 shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Series 2024-GT1 Term Notes or this Indenture Supplement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

 

 

Section 14.            Owner Trustee Limitation of Liability.

 

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, not individually or personally but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it thereunder, (b) each of the representations, covenants, undertakings, and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as a personal representation, covenant, undertaking and agreement by Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only, and is binding only on, the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, individually or personally, or as Owner Trustee, 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) Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations and warranties made by the Issuer in this Indenture Supplement or any related document delivered pursuant hereto, (e) under no circumstances shall Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB be personally liable for the performance of the Issuer, payment of any indebtedness, indemnities, fees, costs or expenses of the Issuer, or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, duty (including fiduciary duty, if any) representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer or by Wilmington Savings Society, FSB as Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer under this Indenture Supplement or any other related documents, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer and (f) Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB shall have the rights, privileges, indemnities and immunities as are set forth in the Trust Agreement.

 

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 2024-GT1 Term Notes and that PLS will be deemed a securitizer for the purposes of Regulation RR, PLS will maintain a subordinated seller’s interest in the Issuer (in the form of the Owner Trust Certificate) that equals not less than [*]% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of any Outstanding Notes (other than Notes held to maturity by PLS or its wholly-owned affiliates), calculated in accordance with Regulation RR.

 

 

The seller’s interest expected to be retained by PLS in connection with Regulation RR (to the extent applicable), will equal approximately [****]% or $[**************] (in each case, as calculated in accordance with Regulation RR), as of the Issuance Date. As the Series 2016-MSRVF1 Notes, the Series 2023-MSRVF1 Notes, the Series 2023-MSRVF2 Notes and the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes are held by PLS, PNMAC GMSR VFN Funding, LLC or PNMAC SPIA VFN Funding, LLC, but financed by Nexera Holding LLC, Citibank, N.A., Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, as applicable, as repo buyers, the Note Balances of the Series 2016-MSRVF1 Notes, the Series 2023-MSRVF1 Notes, the Series 2023-MSRVF2 Notes and the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes are not included in the denominator of the calculation that produced the percentage described above in accordance with Regulation RR. If the Note Balances of the Series 2016-MSRVF1 Notes, the Series 2023-MSRVF1 Notes, the Series 2023-MSRVF2 Notes and the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes were included in the denominator, the resulting percentage of the seller’s interest would be lower but still in excess of the required [*]%.

 

Section 16.            Note Rating Agency.

 

It is a condition of issuance of the Series 2024-GT1 Term Notes that the Series 2024-GT1 Term Notes be rated at least “BBB (sf)” by the Note Rating Agency.
