SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“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 the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 5, 2019.

 

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 mortgage lending and servicing-related regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) and its enforcement of these regulations;

 

·

our dependence on U.S. government‑sponsored entities and changes in their current roles or their guarantees or guidelines;

 

·

changes to government mortgage modification programs;

 

·

certain banking regulations that may limit our business activities;

 

·

foreclosure delays and changes in foreclosure practices;

 

·

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

 

·

our ability to manage third-party service providers and vendors and their compliance with laws, regulations and investor requirements;

 

·

changes in macroeconomic and U.S. real estate market conditions;

 

·

difficulties inherent in growing loan production volume;

3

Table of Contents

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

changes in prevailing interest rates;

 

·

increases in loan delinquencies and defaults;

 

·

our reliance on PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”) as a significant source of financing for, and revenue related to, our mortgage banking business;

 

·

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 exposure to counterparties that are unwilling or unable to honor contractual obligations, including their obligation to indemnify us or repurchase defective mortgage loans;

 

·

our ability to realize the anticipated benefit of potential future acquisitions of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”);

 

·

our obligation to indemnify PMT if our services fail to meet certain criteria or characteristics or under other circumstances;

 

·

decreases in the 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 PMT;

 

·

the effect of public opinion on our reputation;

 

·

our recent growth;

 

·

our ability to effectively identify, manage, monitor and mitigate financial risks;

 

·

our initiation of new business activities or expansion of existing business activities;

 

·

our ability to detect misconduct and fraud;

 

·

our ability to effectively deploy new information technology applications and infrastructure;

 

·

our ability to mitigate cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents;

 

·

our exposure to risks of loss resulting from adverse weather conditions and man-made or natural disasters; and

 

·

our organizational structure and certain requirements in our charter documents.

 

Other factors that could also cause results to differ from our expectations may not be described in this Report or any other document.  Each of these factors could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1—Organization

 

PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI” or the “Company”) is a holding corporation and its primary assets are direct and indirect equity interests in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”). The Company is the managing member of PennyMac, and it operates and controls all of the businesses and affairs of PennyMac, and consolidates the financial results of PennyMac and its 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 mortgage and home equity loan production and loan servicing. PennyMac’s investment management activities and a portion of its loan servicing activities are conducted on behalf of an investment vehicle that invests in residential mortgage and home equity 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 a management agreement with PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”), a publicly held real estate investment trust. Previously, PCM had management agreements with PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, L.P. an affiliate of these registered funds, and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC (collectively, the “Investment Funds”). The Investment Funds were dissolved during 2018.

 

·

PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”) — a Delaware limited liability company that services portfolios of residential mortgage and home equity loans on behalf of non-affiliates and PMT, purchases, originates and sells new prime credit quality residential mortgage and home equity 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 (“FHA”) Nonsupervised Title II Lender with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and a lender/servicer with the Veterans Administration (“VA”) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) (each an “Agency” and collectively the “Agencies”).

 

On November 1, 2018, the Company completed a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) by which it changed its equity structure to create a single class of common stock held by all stockholders at a new top-level publicly traded parent holding corporation, as opposed to the two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B, that were in place before the Reorganization. The predecessor holding company became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company and is considered the predecessor of the Company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the predecessor holding company's historical consolidated financial statements remain the Company’s historical financial statements. The details of the Reorganization are more fully described in Note 1 – Organization to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Table of Contents

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of income to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2019. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

 

Accounting Change

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended (“ASU 2016-02”), using the modified retrospective approach. As the result of this adoption, the Company recorded a $58.6 million right-of-use asset, a corresponding lease liability and reclassified $20.7 million of deferred rent from accrued liabilities to the lease liability for a total lease liability of $79.3 million. The Company did not adjust amounts reported in the prior comparative period. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of income, stockholder’s equity or cash flows.

As part of its adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company made the following accounting policy elections:

·

to retain its existing classification of existing leases; and

·

to exclude from its consolidated balance sheet leases with initial terms that are less than or equal to 12 months.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying assets and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make the payments required by the leases.

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit discount rate, PFSI uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payment obligations. The operating lease right-of-use assets also reflect any lease payments made and are reduced by lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has lease agreements that include both lease and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance), which are generally included in the lease and are accounted for together with the lease as a single lease component. Detailed lease disclosures are included in Note 10‒Leases.

 

 

Note 3—Concentration of Risk

 

A substantial portion of the Company’s activities relate to PMT. Revenues generated from PMT (generally comprised of gains on loans held for sale, loan servicing fees, loan origination fees, fulfillment fees, change in fair value of excess servicing spread financing (“ESS”), net interest, management fees, and change in fair value of investment in and dividends received from PMT) totaled 32% and 25% of total net revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 31% and 19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 4—Transactions with Affiliates

 

Transactions with PMT

 

Operating Activities

 

Mortgage Loan Production Activities and MSR Recapture

 

The Company sells newly originated loans to PMT under a mortgage loan purchase agreement. Historically, the Company has used the mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of selling to PMT prime jumbo residential mortgage loans. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company began selling conventional conforming balance mortgage loans to PMT under the agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of an MSR recapture agreement by and between the Company and PMT, which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016, if the Company refinances mortgage loans for which PMT previously held the MSRs, the Company is generally required to transfer and convey to PMT cash in an amount equal to 30% of the fair market value of the MSRs related to all such mortgage loans. The MSR recapture agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

 

Pursuant to a mortgage banking services agreement, which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016, the Company provides PMT with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, for which it receives a fulfillment fee. Pursuant to the terms of the mortgage banking services agreement, the monthly fulfillment fee is an amount that shall equal (a) no greater than the product of (i) 0.35% and (ii) the aggregate initial unpaid principal balance (the “Initial UPB”) of all mortgage loans purchased in such month, plus (b) in the case of all mortgage loans other than mortgage loans sold to or securitized through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, no greater than the product of (i) 0.50% and (ii) the aggregate Initial UPB of all such mortgage loans sold and securitized in such month; provided, however, that no fulfillment fee shall be due or payable to the Company with respect to any mortgage loans underwritten to the Ginnie Mae Mortgage‑Backed Securities (“MBS”) Guide. PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae MBS and act as a servicer. Accordingly, under the agreement, the Company currently purchases mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT at PMT’s cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points, generally based on the average number of calendar days mortgage loans are held by PMT before being purchased by the Company.

Mortgage Loan Servicing

 

The Company and PMT have entered into a loan servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”), which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016 and pursuant to which the Company provides servicing for PMT’s portfolio of residential mortgage loans and subservicing for its portfolio of MSRs. The Servicing Agreement provides for servicing fees of per‑loan monthly amounts based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or the real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”). The Company also remains entitled to customary ancillary income and market-based fees and charges relating to loans it services for PMT. These include boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and a percentage of late charges.

 

·

The base servicing fee rates for distressed whole loans range from $30 per month for current loans up to $85 per month for loans where the borrower has declared bankruptcy. The base servicing fee rate for REO is $75 per month.

 

·

To the extent the Company facilitates rentals of PMT's REO under its REO rental program, the Company collects an REO rental fee of $30 per month per REO, an REO property lease renewal fee of $100 per lease renewal, and a property management fee in an amount equal to the Company’s cost if property management services and/or any related software costs are outsourced to a third-party property management firm or 9% of gross rental income if the Company provides property management services directly. The Company is also entitled to retain any tenant paid application fees and late rent fees and seek reimbursement for certain third-party vendor fees.

 

·

Except as otherwise provided in the MSR recapture agreement, when the Company effects a refinancing of a loan on behalf of PMT and not through a third-party lender and the resulting mortgage loan is readily saleable, or the Company originates a loan to facilitate the disposition of a REO, the Company is entitled to receive from PMT market-based fees and compensation consistent with pricing and terms the Company offers unaffiliated parties on a retail basis.

 

·

Because PMT has a small number of employees and limited infrastructure, the Company is required to provide a range of services and activities significantly greater in scope than the services provided in connection with a customary servicing arrangement. For these services, the Company receives a supplemental servicing fee of $25 per month for each distressed loan. The Company is entitled to reimbursement for all customary, good faith reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in performance of its servicing obligations.

 

·

The Company is entitled to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Plan; provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to the Company in connection with a loan modification for which PMT previously paid the Company a modification fee, the Company is required to reimburse PMT an amount equal to the incentive payments.

 

·

The Company is also entitled to certain activity-based fees for distressed whole loans that are charged based on the achievement of certain events. These fees range from $750 for a streamline modification to $1,750 for a full modification or liquidation and $500 for a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The Company is not entitled to earn more than one liquidation fee, reperformance fee or modification fee per loan in any 18-month period.

 

·

The base servicing fees for non-distressed mortgage loans are calculated through a monthly per-loan dollar amount, with the actual dollar amount for each loan based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan. The base servicing fee rates are $7.50 per month for fixed-rate loans and  $8.50 per month for adjustable-rate loans.

 

The Servicing Agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional 18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Investment Management Activities

 

The Company has a management agreement with PMT (“Management Agreement”), which was amended and restated effective September 12, 2016. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Company oversees PMT’s business affairs in conformity with the investment policies that are approved and monitored by its board of trustees, for which it collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee. The Management Agreement provides that:

 

·

The base management fee is calculated quarterly and is equal to the sum of (i) 1.5% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity up to $2 billion, (ii) 1.375% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity in excess of $2 billion and up to $5 billion, and (iii) 1.25% per year of PMT’s average shareholders’ equity in excess of $5 billion.

 

·

The performance incentive fee is calculated quarterly at a defined annualized percentage of the amount by which PMT’s “net income,” on a rolling four‑quarter basis and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “equity.”

 

The performance incentive fee is equal to the sum of: (a) 10% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) an 8% return on equity plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 12% return on PMT’s equity; plus (b) 15% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds (i) a 12% return on PMT’s equity plus the “high watermark,” up to (ii) a 16% return on PMT’s equity; plus (c) 20% of the amount by which PMT’s “net income” for the quarter exceeds a 16% return on equity plus the “high watermark.”

 

For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:

 

“Net income” is defined as net income or loss attributable to PMT’s common shares of beneficial interest computed in accordance with GAAP adjusted for certain other non‑cash charges determined after discussions between the Company and PMT’s independent trustees and approval by a majority of PMT’s independent trustees.

 

“Equity” is the weighted average of the issue price per common share of all of PMT’s public offerings, multiplied by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including restricted share units) in the rolling four‑quarter period.

 

14

Table of Contents

The “high watermark” is the quarterly adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on “equity”) in that quarter exceeds or falls short of the lesser of 8% and the average Fannie Mae 30‑year MBS yield (the “Target Yield”) for the four quarters then ended. If the “net income” is lower than the Target Yield, the high watermark is increased by the difference. If the “net income” is higher than the Target Yield, the high watermark is reduced by the difference. Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to zero. As a result, the threshold amounts required for the Company to earn a performance incentive fee are adjusted cumulatively based on the performance of PMT’s “net income” over (or under) the Target Yield, until the “net income” in excess of the Target Yield exceeds the then‑current cumulative high watermark amount, and a performance incentive fee is earned.

 

The base management fee and the performance incentive fee are both receivable quarterly in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and PMT’s common shares (subject to a limit of no more than 50% paid in common shares), at PMT’s option.

 

The Management Agreement expires on September 12, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for additional
18-month periods, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In the event of termination of the Management Agreement between PMT and the Company, the Company may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by the Company, in each case during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination.

Expense Reimbursement

 

Under the Management Agreement, PMT reimburses the Company for its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on PMT’s behalf, it being understood that the Company and its affiliates shall allocate a portion of their personnel’s time to provide certain legal, tax and investor relations services for the direct benefit of PMT. With respect to the allocation of the Company’s and its affiliates’ personnel compensation, the Company shall be reimbursed $120,000 per fiscal quarter, such amount to be reviewed annually and not preclude reimbursement for any other services performed by the Company or its affiliates.

 

PMT is also required to pay its pro rata portion of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Company and its affiliates required for PMT’s and its subsidiaries’ operations. These expenses will be allocated based on the ratio of PMT’s proportion of gross assets compared to all remaining gross assets managed by the Company as calculated at each fiscal quarter end.

Conditional Reimbursement of Underwriting Fees

 

In connection with its initial public offering of common shares of beneficial interest on August 4, 2009 (“IPO”), PMT conditionally agreed to reimburse the Company up to $2.9 million for underwriting fees paid to the IPO underwriters by the Company on PMT’s behalf. In the event a 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. On February 1, 2019, the term of the reimbursement agreement was extended to February 1, 2023. The Company received $219,000 in reimbursement of underwriting fees from PMT during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Investing Activities

 

Master Repurchase Agreement

 

On December 19, 2016, the Company, through PLS, entered into a master repurchase agreement with one of PMT’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”) (the “PMH Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which PMH may borrow from the Company for the purpose of financing PMH’s participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS. PLS then re-pledges such participation certificates to PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST (the “Issuer Trust”) under a master repurchase agreement by and among PLS, the Issuer Trust and PennyMac, as guarantor (the “PC Repurchase Agreement”). The Issuer Trust was formed for the purpose of allowing PLS to finance MSRs and ESS relating to such MSRs (the “GNMA MSR Facility”).

 

In connection with the GNMA MSR Facility, PLS pledges and/or sells to the Issuer Trust participation certificates representing beneficial interests in MSRs and ESS pursuant to the terms of the PC Repurchase Agreement. In return, the Issuer Trust (a) has issued to PLS, pursuant to the terms of an indenture, the Series 2016-MSRVF1 Variable Funding Note, dated December 19, 2016, known as the “PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST MSR Collateralized Notes, Series 2016-MSRVF1” (the “VFN”), and (b) has issued and may, from time to time pursuant to the terms of any supplemental indenture, issue to institutional investors additional term notes (“Term Notes”), in each case secured on a pari passu basis by the participation certificates relating to the MSRs and ESS. The maximum principal balance of the VFN is $1,000,000,000.

 

The principal amount paid by PLS for the participation certificates under the PMH Repurchase Agreement is based upon a percentage of the market value of the underlying ESS. Upon PMH’s repurchase of the participation certificates, PMH is required to repay PLS the principal amount relating thereto plus accrued interest (at a rate reflective of the current market and consistent with the weighted average note rate of the VFN and any outstanding Term Notes) to the date of such repurchase. PLS is then required to repay the Issuer Trust the corresponding amount under the PC Repurchase Agreement.

Financing Activities

 

Spread Acquisition and MSR Servicing Agreements

 

On December 19, 2016, the Company amended and restated a master spread acquisition and MSR servicing agreement with PMT (the “Spread Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company may sell to PMT, from time to time, the right to receive participation certificates representing beneficial ownership in ESS arising from Ginnie Mae MSRs acquired by the Company, in which case the Company generally would be required to service or subservice the related mortgage loans for Ginnie Mae. The primary purpose of the amendment and restatement was to facilitate the continued financing of the ESS owned by PMT in connection with the parties’ participation in the GNMA MSR Facility.

 

To the extent the Company refinances any of the mortgage loans relating to the ESS it has issued, the Spread Acquisition Agreement also contains recapture provisions requiring that the Company transfer to PMT, at no cost, the ESS relating to a certain percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the newly originated mortgage loans. However, under the Spread Acquisition Agreement, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to newly originated Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equal to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the refinanced mortgage loans, the Company is also required to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. Similarly, in any month where the transferred ESS relating to modified Ginnie Mae mortgage loans is not equal to at least 90% of the product of the excess servicing fee rate and the unpaid principal balance of the modified mortgage loans, the Spread Acquisition Agreement contains provisions that require the Company to transfer additional ESS or cash in the amount of such shortfall. To the extent the fair market value of the aggregate ESS to be transferred for the applicable month is less than $200,000, the Company may, at its option, settle its obligation to PMT in cash in an amount equal to such fair market value in lieu of transferring such ESS.

Exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC Unitholders

 

On May 8, 2013, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain former owners of PennyMac that provides for the payment from time to time by the Company to PennyMac’s exchanged unitholders of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the net tax benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis of PennyMac’s assets resulting from exchanges of ownership interests in PennyMac 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.

 

Although the Reorganization eliminated the potential for unitholders to exchange any additional units subject to this tax receivable agreement, the Company continues to be subject to the agreement and will be required to make payments, to the extent any of the tax benefits specified above are deemed to be realized, under the tax receivable agreement to those certain prior owners of PennyMac who effected exchanges of ownership interests in PennyMac for the Company’s common stock prior to the closing of the Reorganization in November 2018.

Based on the PennyMac unitholder exchanges to date, the Company has recorded a $46.5 million Payable to exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC unitholders under tax receivable agreement as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company did not make any payments under the tax receivable agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Note 6—Fair Value

 

Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured at or based on their fair values. The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

·

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 2—Prices determined or determinable using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.

 

·

Level 3— Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.

 

Fair Value Accounting Elections

 

The Company identified all of its MSRs, its mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) and all of its non-cash financial assets other than Assets purchased from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust under agreements to resell, 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. The Company has also identified its ESS financing to be accounted for at fair value as a means of hedging the related MSRs’ fair value risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost

 

The Company’s Assets purchased from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust under agreements to resell,  Assets sold under agreements to repurchase,  Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements,  Notes payable and Obligations under capital lease are carried at amortized cost.

These assets and liabilities are classified as “Level 3” fair value items due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate their fair values. The Company has concluded that the fair values of these assets and liabilities other than the Term Notes included in Notes payable approximate their carrying values due to their short terms and/or variable interest rates.

The fair value of the Term Notes at September 30, 2019 was based on non-affiliate broker indications of fair value. The fair value of Term Notes at December 31, 2018 was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach using indications of market pricing spreads provided by non-affiliate brokers to develop an appropriate discount rate. The fair value and carrying value of the Term Notes are summarized below:

Valuation Governance

 

Most of the Company’s financial assets, and all of its MSRs, ESS, derivative liabilities and MSLs, 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, ESS and MSLs are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which are measured using of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the items’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

 

Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company has assigned the responsibility for estimating the fair value of these items to specialized staff and subjects the valuation process to significant senior management oversight. The Company’s Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”) is the Company’s specialized staff responsible for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs.

Table of Contents

With respect to the non-IRLC “Level 3” valuations, the FAV group reports to the Company’s senior management valuation committee, which oversees the valuations. The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to the Company’s senior management valuation committee. The Company’s senior management valuation committee includes the Company’s executive chairman, chief executive, chief financial, chief risk and deputy chief financial officers.

 

The FAV group is responsible for reporting to the Company’s senior management valuation committee on the changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, 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.

 

The Company has assigned responsibility for developing the fair values of IRLCs to its Capital Markets Risk Management staff. The fair values developed by the Capital Markets Risk Management staff are reviewed by the Company’s Capital Markets Operations group.

 

Valuation Techniques and Inputs

 

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

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

Most of the Company’s loans held for sale at fair value are saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets. The fair values of “Level 2” fair value loans are determined using their contracted selling price or quoted market price or market price equivalent.

 

Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale are not saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. Loans held for sale categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets include:

 

·

Certain delinquent government guaranteed or insured loans purchased by the Company from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools in its loan servicing portfolio. The Company’s right to purchase delinquent government guaranteed or insured loans arises as the result of the borrower’s failure to make payments for at least 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. Such repurchased loans may be resold to investors and thereafter may be repurchased to the extent eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae guaranteed security. Such eligibility occurs when the repurchased loans become current either through the borrower’s reperformance or through completion of a modification of the loan’s terms.

 

·

Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale that are not saleable into active markets due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase by the Company of a loan with an identified defect.

 

The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale are discount rates, home price projections, voluntary prepayment/resale speeds and total prepayment 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.

(3)

Total prepayment speed is measured using Life Total CPR.

 

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

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

 

The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets or liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of IRLCs based on quoted Agency 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 loan will be funded or 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 fair value of the 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 the IRLCs’ fair value measurement. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC fair value, but increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component, which decreases in fair value.

 

Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value and may be allocated to Net loan servicing fees – Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities as an economic hedge of the fair value of MSRs in the consolidated statements of income when IRLCs are included as a component of the Company’s MSR hedging strategy.

Hedging Derivatives

 

Fair value of exchange-traded hedging derivative financial instruments are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments based on observable MBS prices or interest rate volatilities in the MBS market are categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities.

 

Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on loans acquired for sale at fair value, or Net mortgage loan servicing fees – Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of income. 

 

Repurchase Agreement Derivatives

 

Through August 21, 2019, the Company had a master repurchase agreement that included incentives for financing mortgage loans approved for satisfying certain consumer relief characteristics. These incentives are classified for financial reporting purposes as embedded derivatives and are separated for reporting purposes from the master repurchase agreement. The Company classifies repurchase agreement derivatives as “Level 3” fair value assets. The significant unobservable inputs into the valuation of repurchase agreement derivative assets are the discount rate and the Company’s expected approval rate of the mortgage loans financed under the master repurchase agreement. The resulting ratio included in the Company’s fair value estimate were 99.0% and 97.0% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable pricing spread (discount rate), prepayment rates of the underlying loans, and annual per-loan cost to service the loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing feesChange in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Excess Servicing Spread Financing at Fair Value

 

The Company categorizes ESS as a “Level 3” fair value liability. Because the ESS is a claim to a portion of the cash flows from MSRs, the fair value measurement of the ESS is similar to that of MSRs. The Company uses the same discounted cash flow approach to measuring the ESS as it uses to measure MSRs except that certain inputs relating to the cost to service the loans underlying the MSR and certain ancillary income are not included as these cash flows do not accrue to the holder of the ESS. The key inputs used in the estimation of ESS fair value include pricing spread (discount rate) and prepayment speed. Significant changes to either of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the fair value of ESS. Changes in these key inputs are not necessarily directly related.

 

ESS is generally subject to fair value increases when mortgage interest rates increase. Increasing mortgage interest rates normally discourage mortgage refinancing activity. Decreased refinancing activity increases the life of the loans underlying the ESS, thereby increasing its fair value. Changes in the fair value of ESS are included in Net loan servicing fees—Change in fair value of excess servicing spread payable to PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust in the consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Liabilities

 

MSLs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value liabilities. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSLs. This approach consists of projecting net servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that the Company believes market participants would use in their determinations of fair value. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSLs include the applicable pricing spread (discount rate), the prepayment rates of the underlying loans, and the per-loan annual cost to service the respective loans. Changes in the fair value of MSLs are included in Net servicing feesChange in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 8—Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating activities. Derivative financial instruments are created as a result of certain of the Company’s operations and when the Company enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities. Derivative financial instruments created as a result of the Company’s operations include:

 

·

IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase or originate a mortgage loan for sale.

 

·

Derivatives that are embedded in a master repurchase agreement that provides for the Company to receive incentives for financing mortgage loans that satisfy certain consumer relief characteristics under the master repurchase agreement.

 

The Company also 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 fair value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of loans held for sale and the portion of its MSRs not financed with ESS.

Note 11—Borrowings

 

The borrowing facilities described throughout this Note 11 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 covenants as of September 30, 2019.

 

Assets Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

 

The Company has multiple borrowing facilities in the form of asset sales under agreements to repurchase. These borrowing facilities are secured by loans held for sale at fair value or participation certificates backed by MSRs. Eligible loans and participation certificates backed by MSRs are sold at advance rates based on the fair value (as determined by the lender) of the assets sold. Interest is charged at a rate based on the lender’s overnight cost of funds rate or on LIBOR depending on the terms of the respective agreements. Loans and MSRs financed under these agreements may be re-pledged by the lenders.

The Company is subject to margin calls during the period the repurchase 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 assets securing those agreements decreases.

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreements

 

Certain of the borrowing facilities secured by loans held for sale are in the form of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, are sold to a lender pending the securitization of the mortgage loans and sale of the resulting securities. A commitment to sell the securities resulting from the pending securitization between the Company and a non-affiliate is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.

 

46

Table of Contents

The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount that is based on a percentage of the purchase price. The holdback amount is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

Corporate Revolving Line of Credit

 

On November 1, 2018, the Company, through its subsidiary, PennyMac (the “Borrower”), entered into amendments (the "Amendments") to that certain (i) amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of November 18, 2016, by and among the Borrower, the lenders that are parties thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger (the “Credit Agreement”); and (ii) amended and restated collateral and guaranty agreement, dated as of November 18, 2016, by and among the Borrower, as grantor, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“CS Cayman”), as collateral agent, and PNMAC Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.) and certain of its subsidiaries, PCM, PLS and PNMAC Opportunity Fund Associates, LLC (“Associates”), as guarantors and grantors (“the “Guaranty”).

 

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders have agreed to make revolving loans to the Borrower in an amount not to exceed $150 million. Interest on the loans shall accrue at a per annum rate of interest equal to, at the election of the Borrower, either LIBOR plus the applicable margin or an alternate base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). During the existence of certain events of default, interest shall accrue at a higher default rate. The proceeds of the loans are to be used solely for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries.

 

The primary purposes of the Amendments were to (i) extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to October 31, 2019; (ii) name the Company as an additional guarantor under the Credit Agreement; and (iii) release Associates from its obligations as a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are now guaranteed by PFSI, PNMAC Holdings, Inc., PCM and PLS, and secured by a grant by each of the referenced grantors of its respective right, title and interest in and to limited and otherwise unencumbered (other than specified permitted encumbrances) specified contract rights, specified deposit accounts, all documents and instruments related to such specified contract rights and specified deposit accounts, and any and all proceeds and products thereof. All other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and Guaranty remain the same in all material respects.

 

MSR Note Payable

 

On February 1, 2018, the Company issued a note payable in favor of CS Cayman that is secured by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MSRs.  Interest is charged at a rate based on LIBOR plus the applicable contract margin. The facility expires on February 1, 2020. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the note payable is $400 million, less any amount outstanding under the agreement to repurchase pursuant to which the Company finances the VFN. The Company did not borrow under this note payable during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

Excess Servicing Spread Financing at Fair Value

 

In conjunction with its purchase from non-affiliates of certain MSRs on pools of Agency-backed residential mortgage loans, the Company has entered into sale and assignment agreements with PMT. Under these agreements, the Company sold to PMT the right to receive ESS cash flows relating to certain MSRs. The Company retained a fixed base servicing fee and all ancillary income associated with servicing the loans. The Company continues to be the servicer of the mortgage loans and retains all servicing obligations, including responsibility to make servicing advances.

Note 13—Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective income tax rates were 26.9% and 9.0% for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 26.3% and 8.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Beginning November 1, 2018, the Company’s income subject to income tax includes the portion of its income formerly attributed to the noncontrolling interest, which was not subject to income tax at the parent Company level before the Reorganization. As a result, the Company reported a higher effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 than for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be a party to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Note 16—Noncontrolling Interest

 

As a result of the Reorganization, noncontrolling interest unitholders contributed their Class A units of PNMAC in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock without any cash consideration on a one-for-one basis. Consequently, the noncontrolling interest was reclassified to the Company’s paid-in capital accounts, net of deferred income taxes attributable to the noncontrolling interests.

Note 20—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 dilutive shares of common stock were issued.

 

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include non-vested stock-based compensation awards and, before the Reorganization, PennyMac Class A units. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding based on the outstanding stock-based compensation awards. As a result of the Reorganization, all PNMAC Class A units converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Note 22—Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements

 

The Company, through PLS and PennyMac, is required to maintain specified levels of capital and liquidity to remain a seller/servicer in good standing with the Agencies. Such capital and liquid asset requirements generally are tied to the size of the Company’s loan servicing portfolio or loan origination volume.

 

The Company is subject to financial eligibility requirements for sellers/servicers eligible to sell or service mortgage loans with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The eligibility requirements include tangible net worth of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of the Company’s total 1-4 unit servicing portfolio, excluding mortgage loans subserviced for others and a liquidity requirement equal to 3.5 basis points of the aggregate UPB serviced for the Agencies plus 200 basis points of total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB in excess of 600 basis points.

 

The Company is also subject to financial eligibility requirements for Ginnie Mae single-family issuers. The eligibility requirements include net worth of $2.5 million plus 35 basis points of PLS' outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations and a liquidity requirement equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 10 basis points of PLS' outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities.

 

The Agencies’ capital and liquidity requirements, the calculations of which are specified by each Agency, are summarized below:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read with the consolidated financial statements including the related notes of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”) included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

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 PFSI.

 

Our Company

 

We are a specialty financial services firm with a comprehensive mortgage platform and integrated business primarily focused on the production and servicing of U.S. residential mortgage and home equity loans (activities which we refer to as mortgage banking) and the management of investments related to the U.S. 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.

 

We operate and control all of the business and affairs and consolidate the financial results of Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PennyMac”). PennyMac was founded in 2008 by members of our executive leadership team and two strategic partners, BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC and HC Partners, LLC, formerly known as Highfields Capital Investments, LLC, together with its affiliates.

 

We were formed as a Delaware corporation on July 2, 2018. We became the top-level parent holding company for the consolidated PennyMac business pursuant to a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) that was consummated on November 1, 2018. Before the Reorganization, PNMAC Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as PennyMac Financial Services, Inc.) (“PNMAC Holdings”) was our top-level parent holding company and our public company registrant.

 

One result of the consummation of the Reorganization was that our equity structure was changed to create a single class of publicly-held common stock as opposed to the two classes that were in place before the Reorganization. For tax purposes, the Reorganization is to be treated as an integrated transaction that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and/or a transfer described in Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. PNMAC Holdings’ financial statements remain our historical financial statements.

Table of Contents

We conduct our business in three segments: production, servicing (together, production and servicing comprise our mortgage banking activities) and investment management.

 

·

The production segment performs loan origination, acquisition and sale activities.

·

The servicing segment performs loan servicing for both newly originated loans we are holding for sale and loans we service for others, including for PMT.

·

The investment management segment represents our investment management activities, which include the activities associated with investment asset acquisitions and dispositions such as sourcing, due diligence, negotiation and settlement.

 

Our principal mortgage banking subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), is a non-bank producer and servicer of mortgage and home equity loans in the United States. PLS is a seller/servicer for the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), each of which is a government‑sponsored entity (“GSE”). PLS is also an approved issuer of securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), a lender of the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), and a lender/servicer of the Veterans Administration (“VA”) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). We refer to each of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, FHA, VA and USDA as an “Agency” and collectively as the “Agencies.” PLS is able to service loans in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and originate loans in 49 states and the District of Columbia, either because PLS is properly licensed in a particular jurisdiction or exempt or otherwise not required to be licensed in that jurisdiction.

 

Our investment management subsidiary is 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 (the “Advisers Act”), as amended. 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 previously managed PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC, PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP, an affiliate of these funds and PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund Investors, LLC. We refer to these funds collectively as our Investment Funds.  The Investment Funds were dissolved during 2018.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, income before provision for income taxes increased $104.5 million and $116.7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to: 

·

increases in production income (Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value,  Loan origination fees and Fulfillment fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust),  partially offset by;

·

decreases in Net loan servicing fees;

·

and increases in total expenses. 

 

The increases in production income reflect higher production volume and improved profit margins.  The decreases in Net loan servicing fees were mainly due to the effect of lower interest rates on the fair value of our MSRs that resulted in fair value losses net of hedging results, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases in total expenses were mainly due to increases in loan origination and compensation expenses, reflecting the continuing growth of our mortgage banking activities.  

 

These increases in pretax income were offset by increases in the provision for income taxes resulting from an increase in the effective income tax rate resulting from the Reorganization.

Net loan servicing fees decreased $43.5 million and $134.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The decreases were primarily due to an increase of $94.2 million and $280.0 million in losses in fair value of MSRs and mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”), net of hedging results, during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, resulting from the effect of decreasing interest rates on mortgage servicing asset and liability fair values. The increased losses were partially offset by increases of $50.7 million and $145.8 million in loan servicing fees for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, resulting from an increase in our average servicing portfolio of 24% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018.

Table of Contents

Net Gains on Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value

 

Most of our loan production consists of government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that we source primarily through PMT. PMT is not approved by Ginnie Mae as an issuer of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securities which are backed by government-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans. We purchase such loans that PMT acquires through its correspondent production activities and pay PMT a sourcing fee ranging from two to three and one-half basis points on the UPB of such mortgage loans.

 

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $235.7 million and $468.0 million, respectively, an increase of $178.8 million and $278.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to an increase in loan production volume and an improvement in profit margins in our mortgage production business, reflecting increased demand for mortgage loans during 2019 as compared to 2018.

Our gain on sale of  loans held for sale includes both cash and non-cash elements. We receive proceeds on sale that include our estimate of the fair value of MSRs and we incur liabilities for mortgage servicing liabilities (which represents the fair value of the costs we expect to incur in excess of the fees we receive for early buyout of delinquent loans (“EBO loans”) we have resold) and for the fair value of our estimate of the losses we expect to incur relating to the representation and warranties we provide in our loan sale transactions.

 

Non-cash elements of gain on sale of loans

 

The MSRs, MSLs, and liability for representations and warranties we recognize represent our estimate of the fair value of future benefits and costs we will realize for years in the future. These estimates represented approximately 96% and 111% of our gain on sale of loans at fair value for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 258% and 234% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.  How we measure and update our measurements of MSRs and MSLs is detailed in Note 6 – Fair value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

 

Our agreements with the purchasers and insurers include representations and warranties related to the loans we sell. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and insurer 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 loans with the identified defects or indemnify the purchaser or insurer. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the loans. Our credit loss may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent originators that sold such loans to us 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 seller.

 

The method used to estimate our losses on representations and warranties is a function of our estimate of future defaults, loan repurchase rates, the severity of loss in the event of default, if applicable, and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at the time loans are sold and review our liability estimate on a periodic basis. 

 

We recorded provisions for losses under representations and warranties relating to current loan sales as a component of Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $2.5 million and $5.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $1.8 million and $4.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. We also recorded reductions in the liability of $1.2 million and $6.3 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $3.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The reductions in the liability resulted from previously sold loans meeting performance criteria established by the Agencies which significantly limits the likelihood of certain repurchase or indemnification claims.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased loans totaling $4.1 million and $15.4 million in UPB, respectively. We recorded losses of $104,000 net of recoveries, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. If the outstanding balance of loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases, the loans sold continue to season, economic conditions change or investor and insurer loss mitigation strategies are adjusted, the level of repurchase activity may increase.

 

The level of the liability for losses under representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, purchaser or insurer loss mitigation strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. Our estimate of the liability for representations and warranties is developed by our credit administration staff and approved by our senior management credit committee which includes our senior executives and senior management in our loan production, loan servicing and credit risk management areas.   

 

Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current UPB of mortgage loans sold by us and subject to representation and warranty liability to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties.

 

Loan origination fees

 

Loan origination fees increased $22.9 million and $34.8 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in volume of loans we produced.

Fulfillment fees increased $18.9 million  and $49.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were  primarily due to an increase in PMT’s loan production volume, partially offset by an increase in discretionary reductions in the fulfillment fee rate during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income increased $4.9 million and $15.3 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to:

·

increases in placement fees we receive relating to custodial funds that we manage, reflecting the growth of our servicing portfolio and higher earnings rates in 2019 compared to 2018, partially offset by;

·

increases in interest shortfall on repayments of loans serviced for Agency securitizations, reflecting increased loan payoffs as a result of the lower interest rates in 2019 as compared to 2018; and

·

increases in interest expense on repurchase agreements, reflecting the substantial curtailment of financing incentives we received from one of our lenders and an increase in average borrowing balances during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 to fund a higher volume of loan inventory compared to the same periods in 2018.

 

We entered into a master repurchase agreement in 2017 that provided us with incentives to finance mortgage loans approved for satisfying certain consumer relief characteristics as provided in the agreement. We recorded $1.6 million and $12.8 million of such incentives as reductions in Interest expense during the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $14.7 million and $35.5 million during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The loan volumes targeted by the master repurchase agreement were achieved during the second quarter of 2019, and the master repurchase agreement expired on August 21, 2019.

Management fees increased $3.6 million and $8.3 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018, reflecting the combined effect of the performance incentive fees arising from PMT’s increased profitability and the increase in PMT’s average shareholders’ equity upon which its base management fees are based. The increase in average shareholders’ equity was primarily due to the issuance of new common shares by PMT during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Compensation expense increased $37.8 million and $58.5 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to increases in incentive compensation resulting from performance-based incentives in our mortgage banking business and higher than expected attainment of profitability targets along with increases in salaries and wages due to increased average headcounts resulting from the growth in our mortgage banking activities.

Table of Contents

Servicing

 

Servicing expenses increased $7.1 million and $11.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to increased purchases of EBO loans from Ginnie Mae guaranteed pools for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we purchased  $2.6 billion in UPB of EBO loans, compared to $1.6  billion during the same period in 2018.

 

The EBO program reduces the ongoing cost of servicing defaulted loans that have been sold into Ginnie Mae MBS when we purchase and either sell the defaulted loans or finance them with debt at interest rates below the Ginnie Mae MBS pass-through rates. While the EBO program reduces the ultimate cost of servicing such loan pools, it results in loss recognition when the loans are purchased. We recognize the loss because purchasing the mortgage loans from their Ginnie Mae pools causes us to write off accumulated non-reimbursable interest advances, net of interest receivable from the loans’ insurer or guarantor at the debenture rate of interest we receive from the insurer or guarantor while the loan is in default.

 

Loan origination

 

Loan origination expense increased $27.6 million and $58.0 million during the quarter and nine months ended September  30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily due to increases in wholesale brokerage fees and loan file compilation expenses, resulting from increased consumer and broker direct lending activities, as well as an increase in lender paid fees due to the mix of production volume shifting toward a higher proportion of VA-guaranteed loans during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods during 2018.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rates were 26.9%  and 26.3%  during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 9.0% and 8.6%  during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Beginning November 1, 2018, PFSI’s income subject to income tax includes the portion of its income formerly attributed to the noncontrolling interest, which was not subject to income tax at the PFSI level before the Reorganization. As a result, we reported higher effective tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018.

Total assets increased $1.8 billion from $7.5 billion at December 31, 2018 to $9.3 billion at September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increases in loans held for sale at fair value resulting from an increase in loan production volume.

 

Total liabilities increased $1.6 billion from $5.8 billion at December 31, 2018 to $7.4 billion at September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in borrowings required to finance a larger inventory of loans held for sale combined with a $72.1 million increase in other liabilities due to recognition of operating lease liabilities effective January 1, 2019, as the result of our adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires us to recognize our contractual lease rights and obligations on our consolidated balance sheet.

Investing activities

 

Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $169.4 million primarily due to  $542.1 million in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs,  partially offset by the purchase of MSRs totaling $227.4 million and increase in margin deposit of $168.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $349.8 million was primarily due to funds used for net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs and purchase of MSRs totaling $180.1 million.

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.6 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily to finance the growth in our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale and our investments in MSRs. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $317.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to net repurchases of assets sold under agreements to repurchase, reflecting a reduction in our financing of loans held for sale.

 

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 and on our MSR investments), fund new originations and purchases, and make investments as we identify them. We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be through cash flows from business activities, proceeds from bank borrowings, proceeds from and issuance of ESS and/or equity or debt offerings. We believe that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs.

 

Our current borrowing 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 assets under agreements to repurchase, sales of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale certificates, ESS financing, notes payable (including a revolving credit agreement) and a capital lease. Most of our borrowings have short-term maturities and provide for terms of approximately one year. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-term borrowings, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.

 

Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the respective assets at a later date. The table below presents the average, maximum daily and ending balances:

The differences between the average and maximum daily balances on our repurchase agreements reflect the fluctuations throughout the month of our inventory as we fund and pool mortgage loans for sale in guaranteed mortgage securitizations.

 

Our secured financing agreements at PLS require us 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 $40 million;

 

·

a minimum tangible net worth of $500 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 that are similar to those being financed under certain of our existing secured financing agreements.

 

With respect to servicing performed for PMT, PLS is also subject to certain covenants under PMT’s debt agreements. Covenants in PMT’s debt agreements are equally, or sometimes less, restrictive than the covenants described above. 

 

In addition to the covenants noted above, PennyMac’s revolving credit agreement and capital lease contain additional financial covenants including, but not limited to,

 

·

a minimum of cash equal to the amount borrowed under the revolving credit agreement;

 

·

a minimum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents equal to $25 million;

 

·

a minimum of tangible net worth of $500 million;

 

·

a minimum asset coverage ratio (the ratio of the total asset amount to the total commitment) of 2.5; and

 

·

a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio of 5:1.

 

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.

 

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 are also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Agency seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae for single-family issuers. FHFA and Ginnie Mae have established minimum liquidity requirements and revised their net worth requirements for their approved non-depository single-family sellers/servicers in the case of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae for its approved single-family issuers, as summarized below:

 

·

FHFA liquidity requirement is equal to 0.035% (3.5 basis points) of total Agency servicing UPB plus an incremental 200 basis points of the amount by which total nonperforming Agency servicing UPB exceeds 6% of the applicable Agency servicing UPB; allowable assets to satisfy liquidity requirement include cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted), certain investment-grade securities that are available for sale or held for

73

Table of Contents

trading including Agency mortgage-backed securities, obligations of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and U.S. Treasury obligations, and unused and available portions of committed servicing advance lines;

 

·

FHFA net worth requirement is a minimum net worth of $2.5 million plus 0.25% (25 basis points) of UPB for total 1-4 unit residential mortgage loans serviced and a tangible net worth/total assets ratio greater than or equal to 6%;

 

·

Ginnie Mae single-family issuer minimum liquidity requirement is equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 0.10% (10 basis points) of the issuer’s outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family securities, which must be met with cash and cash equivalents; and

 

·

Ginnie Mae net worth requirement is equal to $2.5 million plus 0.35% (35 basis points) of the issuer’s outstanding Ginnie Mae single-family obligations.

 

We believe that we are currently in compliance with the applicable Agency requirements.

 

We have purchased portfolios of MSRs and have financed them in part through the sale to PMT of the right to receive ESS. The outstanding amount of the ESS is based on the current fair value of such ESS and amounts received on the underlying mortgage loans.

 

In June 2017, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program that allows us to repurchase up to $50 million of our common stock using open market stock purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and the authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock. We intend to finance the stock repurchase program through cash on hand. From inception through September 30, 2019, we have repurchased $14.9 million of shares under our stock repurchase program.

 

We continue to explore a variety of means of financing our continued growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, bank loans, repurchase agreements, securitization transactions 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.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees

 

As of September 30, 2019, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As of September 30, 2019 we had contractual obligations aggregating $14.3 billion, comprised of borrowings, commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans and a payable to exchanged Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC unitholders under a tax receivable agreement. We also lease our office facilities and 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 assets under agreements to repurchase, mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, notes payable (including a revolving credit agreement), ESS and a capital lease. The borrower under each of these facilities is PLS or the Issuer Trust with the exception of the revolving credit agreement and the capital lease, in each case where the borrower is PennyMac. All PLS obligations as previously noted are guaranteed by PennyMac.

 

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 September 30, 2019, we believe we were in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.

 

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.

Item 3. 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 fair value risk.

 

The following 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 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 earnings forecasts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. However, 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 failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.

 

Our management has conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the 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.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

In the ordinary course of business, we review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes that we believe will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of controls, ensure sufficient precision of controls, and appropriately mitigate the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements.

 

Management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Below we describe changes in our internal control over financial reporting since June 30, 2019 that management believes have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

78

Table of Contents

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we substantially completed the implementation of an internally-developed loan servicing system. In connection with this implementation and related business process changes, we updated the design of multiple internal controls over financial reporting that were previously considered effective to reflect the design of the loan servicing system and associated data sources, and implemented controls to replace controls previously addressed by certain service organization SOC 1 Reports (System and Organization Controls Reports). We adopted this system and the related processes and controls during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Therefore, the use of this system was included in the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. We continue to monitor and test these controls for adequate design and operating effectiveness.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Set forth below are material updates to legal proceedings of the Company.

 

As previously disclosed, on December 20, 2018, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a complaint in a putative class and derivative action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Robert Garfield v. BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC et al., Case No. 2018-0917-KSJM (the “Garfield Action”).  The Garfield Action alleges, among other things, that certain current directors and officers of the Company breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders by, among other things, agreeing to and entering into the Reorganization without ensuring that the Reorganization was entirely fair to the Company or public shareholders. The Reorganization was approved by 99.8% of voting shareholders on October 24, 2018. On March 1, 2019, the Company and its directors and officers named in the Garfield Action filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. The motion to dismiss has been fully briefed, orally argued, and is pending a ruling by the court.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2019 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed thereafter.

There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT SUBJECT TO CONTINUED SERVICE

AWARD AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT is dated as of  ________, between PennyMac Financial Services, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the individual identified in the table below (the “Recipient”).

 

Recipient

 

 

 

Grant Date

 

 

 

Vesting Commencement Date

 

 

 

Number of RSUs Subject to
Continued Service

 

 

1.         Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or interpreted from time to time (the “Plan”),  including without limitation the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient, with effect as of the Grant Date specified above, the above indicated number of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) to obtain for each RSU that is subject to vesting based on continued service, one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in the Company (the “Stock”).

 

2.         Vesting and Settlement.

 

2.1       One-third (1/3) of the RSUs subject to vesting based on continued service shall vest in a lump sum on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date specified above, subject to the Recipient’s continued service through each such anniversary,  except as provided below, with any fractions rounded down except on the final installment.  The shares of Stock earned as such RSUs vest will be transferred or issued to the Recipient promptly after the applicable anniversary, but in any event not later than December 31 of the calendar year in which such anniversary occurs.

 

2.2       Until the RSUs vest and are issued pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall have no voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the award of RSUs under this Agreement prior to the delivery of the shares of Stock upon the vesting of the RSUs underlying the award and delivery of the shares of Stock in settlement thereof.

 

2.3       If cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Stock on or after the Grant Date and prior to the settlement of the RSU, cash dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) shall accrue on the shares of Stock underlying RSUs, which Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs. Such Dividend Equivalents will be in an amount of cash per

 

RSU equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a share of outstanding Stock and shall accrue to the Recipient on the record date of the applicable dividend. The Dividend Equivalents accrued prior to the settlement date of each vested RSU will be paid to the Recipient with respect to all vested RSUs as soon as administratively feasible after each settlement date (but in no event later than 45 days following each respective settlement date). The Dividend Equivalents accrued on shares of Stock underlying RSUs that do not vest and are forfeited shall be automatically forfeited without notice for no consideration on the date such RSU is forfeited.

 

2.4       The Recipient’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books and records of the transfer agent for the Company with respect to the Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 only upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements of this Agreement and of the Plan.  The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Recipient.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stock shall be issued in settlement of vested RSUs if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or other law or regulation.  As a condition to the issuance of Stock to the Recipient pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company may require the Recipient to make any representation or warranty to the Company at the time vested Stock becomes issuable to the Recipient as in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company may be required by any applicable law or regulation, including the execution and delivery of an appropriate representation statement.  Accordingly, the stock certificates for the Stock issued pursuant to this Award may bear appropriate legends restricting the transfer of the Stock.

 

3.         Effect of Termination.   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no RSUs shall vest following the date (the Recipient’s “Termination Date”), reasonably fixed and determined by the Committee, of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Recipient’s employment or other association with all of the Company and its Affiliates, for any or no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that military or sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association, if it does not exceed the longer of 90 days or the period during which the Recipient’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.  As of the Recipient’s Termination Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the then unvested RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited by the Recipient or any transferee.

 

3.1       Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Prior to the full vesting of the RSUs, (i) if the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to Retirement (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause,  and (ii) provided the Recipient has executed and continues to comply with the terms of an agreement not to provide services as an employee, director, consultant, agent, or otherwise, to any of the Company’s direct competitors for a period of two (2) years from the date of Retirement (the “Retirement Date”),  then the Recipient’s RSUs shall continue to vest and be settled after the Retirement Date in accordance with the original terms of such RSUs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Retirement Date occurs during the nine-month period immediately following the Grant Date, then all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; and (ii) if the Retirement Date occurs during the three-month period prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then one-third of the RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (pro-rated based on (A)  the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment

2

 

from the Grant Date through the Retirement Date divided by (B)  twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination of employment after the age of sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of combined service to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that if the Recipient elects to terminate employment in connection with a Retirement, the Recipient must provide the Company with a minimum of (x) six (6) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the senior vice president level and above, or (y) three (3) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the first vice president level and below.

 

3.2       Termination of Employment Due to Death. If, prior to full vesting of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her death and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s unvested RSUs scheduled to vest on the next anniversary of the Grant Date shall instead vest immediately (prorated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date through the date of termination due to death divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs shall be forfeited;  provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to death occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited.

 

3.3       Termination of Employment Due to Disability.  If, prior to full vesting of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her Disability (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s unvested RSUs scheduled to vest on the next anniversary of the Grant Date shall vest in accordance with the original terms of the RSUs (prorated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date through the date of termination due to Disability divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited;  provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to Disability occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Disability” shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful occupation to which the relevant individual is suited by education, training or experience, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which condition can be expected to result in death or otherwise continue for a period of not less than twelve (12) consecutive months.

 

4.         Restrictions on Transfer.  The RSUs (including, without limitation, the corresponding Dividend Equivalents) may not be assigned or transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

5.         Withholding Obligations.

 

5.1       At the time Recipient becomes entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs, Recipient authorizes the Company, at Company’s sole discretion, to withhold from fully vested shares of Stock otherwise issuable to Recipient pursuant to such RSUs a number of shares of Stock having a Market Value, as determined by the Company as of the first business day immediately preceding the vesting date, equal to the

3

 

statutory minimum withholding tax obligation in respect of the shares of Stock otherwise issuable to Recipient (the “Share Withholding Method”).

 

5.2       Should Recipient become entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs at a time when the Share Withholding Method is not being utilized by the Company, Recipient authorizes the delivery of the shares of Stock to the Company’s designated broker with instructions to (i) sell shares of Stock sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes which arise in connection with such distribution, and (ii) remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company (“Sale to Cover”). In the event the sale proceeds are insufficient to fully satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, Recipient authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Recipient, in the same calendar year, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision through the submission of cash, a check or its equivalent for any sums required to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.

 

Recipient is not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company, is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction that would prevent the designated broker from conducting sales as provided herein, does not have, and will not attempt to exercise, authority, influence or control over any sales of shares of Stock effected pursuant to this Section 5.2, and is entering into this Section 5.2 of the Award Agreement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (regarding trading of the Company’s securities on the basis of material nonpublic information). It is the intent of the parties that the Sale to Cover transactions pursuant to this Section 5.2 comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act, and the Award Agreement will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.

 

5.3       Unless the withholding tax obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock on the Recipient’s behalf upon vesting of RSUs or make any cash payments for settlement of Dividend Equivalents.

 

6.         Miscellaneous.

 

6.1       No Special Service Rights.  Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment or other association with the Company (or any Affiliate), or interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any Affiliate), subject to the terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement or provision of law or corporate articles or by-laws to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or consulting agreement or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the other terms and conditions of the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates.

 

6.2       Entire Agreement; Counterparts.  This Award Agreement, including the Plan, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Award Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  In making proof of this Award Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

 

4

 

6.3       Tax Consequences.    The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the tax treatment to the Recipient of receipt of these RSUs or the corresponding Dividend Equivalents, and does not warrant to the Recipient that all compensation paid or delivered to him or her for his or her services will be exempt from, or paid in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Recipient should rely on his or her own tax advisors for all such advice.

 

6.4       Community Property.  To the extent the Recipient resides in a jurisdiction in which community property rules apply, without prejudice to the actual rights of the spouses as between each other, for all purposes of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall be treated as agent and attorney-in-fact for that interest held or claimed by the Recipient’s spouse with respect to these RSUs and the parties hereto shall act in all matters as if the Recipient was the sole owner of these RSUs.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

7.         Receipt of Plan.  The RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents were awarded under the Plan, to which this Award Agreement is subject in all respects, including without limitation the adjustment and tax withholding provisions therein.  All capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Recipient has reviewed and understands the Plan and this Award Agreement in their entirety, and has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Award Agreement.  The Recipient hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Recipient and the Company have entered into this Award Agreement as of the Grant Date.

1.         Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or interpreted from time to time (the “Plan”),  including without limitation the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient, with effect as of the Grant Date specified above, the above indicated number of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) to obtain for each RSU that is subject to vesting based on continued service, one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in the Company (the “Stock”).

 

2.         Vesting and Settlement.

 

2.1       One-third (1/3) of the RSUs subject to vesting based on continued service shall vest in a lump sum on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date specified above, subject to the Recipient’s continued service through each such anniversary,  except as provided below, with any fractions rounded down except on the final installment.  The shares of Stock earned as such RSUs vest will be transferred or issued to the Recipient promptly after the applicable anniversary, but in any event not later than December 31 of the calendar year in which such anniversary occurs.

 

2.2       Until the RSUs vest and are issued pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall have no voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the award of RSUs under this Agreement prior to the delivery of the shares of Stock upon the vesting of the RSUs underlying the award and delivery of the shares of Stock in settlement thereof.

 

2.3       If cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Stock on or after the Grant Date and prior to the settlement of the RSU, cash dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) shall accrue on the shares of Stock underlying RSUs, which Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs. Such Dividend Equivalents will be in an amount of cash per

 

RSU equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a share of outstanding Stock and shall accrue to the Recipient on the record date of the applicable dividend. The Dividend Equivalents accrued prior to the settlement date of each vested RSU will be paid to the Recipient with respect to all vested RSUs as soon as administratively feasible after each settlement date (but in no event later than 45 days following each respective settlement date). The Dividend Equivalents accrued on shares of Stock underlying RSUs that do not vest and are forfeited shall be automatically forfeited without notice for no consideration on the date such RSU is forfeited.

 

2.4       The Recipient’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books and records of the transfer agent for the Company with respect to the Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 only upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements of this Agreement and of the Plan.  The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Recipient.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stock shall be issued in settlement of vested RSUs if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or other law or regulation.  As a condition to the issuance of Stock to the Recipient pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company may require the Recipient to make any representation or warranty to the Company at the time vested Stock becomes issuable to the Recipient as in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company may be required by any applicable law or regulation, including the execution and delivery of an appropriate representation statement.  Accordingly, the stock certificates for the Stock issued pursuant to this Award may bear appropriate legends restricting the transfer of the Stock.

 

3.         Effect of Termination.   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no RSUs shall vest following the date (the Recipient’s “Termination Date”), reasonably fixed and determined by the Committee, of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Recipient’s employment or other association with all of the Company and its Affiliates, for any or no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that military or sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association, if it does not exceed the longer of 90 days or the period during which the Recipient’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.  As of the Recipient’s Termination Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the then unvested RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited by the Recipient or any transferee.

 

3.1       Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Prior to the full vesting of the RSUs, (i) if the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to Retirement (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause,  and (ii) provided the Recipient has executed and continues to comply with the terms of an agreement not to provide services as an employee, director, consultant, agent, or otherwise, to any of the Company’s direct competitors for a period of two (2) years from the date of Retirement (the “Retirement Date”),  then the Recipient’s RSUs shall continue to vest and be settled after the Retirement Date in accordance with the original terms of such RSUs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Retirement Date occurs during the nine-month period immediately following the Grant Date, then all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; and (ii) if the Retirement Date occurs during the three-month period prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then one-third of the RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (pro-rated based on (A)  the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment

2

 

from the Grant Date through the Retirement Date divided by (B)  twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination of employment after the age of sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of combined service to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that if the Recipient elects to terminate employment in connection with a Retirement, the Recipient must provide the Company with a minimum of (x) six (6) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the senior vice president level and above, or (y) three (3) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the first vice president level and below.

 

3.2       Termination of Employment Due to Death. If, prior to full vesting of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her death and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s unvested RSUs scheduled to vest on the next anniversary of the Grant Date shall instead vest immediately (prorated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date through the date of termination due to death divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs shall be forfeited;  provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to death occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited.

 

3.3       Termination of Employment Due to Disability.  If, prior to full vesting of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her Disability (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s unvested RSUs scheduled to vest on the next anniversary of the Grant Date shall vest in accordance with the original terms of the RSUs (prorated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date through the date of termination due to Disability divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited;  provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to Disability occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Disability” shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful occupation to which the relevant individual is suited by education, training or experience, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which condition can be expected to result in death or otherwise continue for a period of not less than twelve (12) consecutive months.

 

4.         Restrictions on Transfer.  The RSUs (including, without limitation, the corresponding Dividend Equivalents) may not be assigned or transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

5.         Withholding Obligations.

 

5.1       At the time Recipient becomes entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs, Recipient authorizes the delivery of the shares of Stock to the Company’s designated broker with instructions to (i) sell shares of Stock sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes which arise in connection with such distribution, and (ii) remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company. In the event the sale proceeds are insufficient to fully

3

 

satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, Recipient authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Recipient, in the same calendar year, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision through the submission of cash, a check or its equivalent for any sums required to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.

 

Recipient is not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company, is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction that would prevent the designated broker from conducting sales as provided herein, does not have, and will not attempt to exercise, authority, influence or control over any sales of shares of Stock effected pursuant to this Section 5.1, and is entering into this Section 5.1 of the Award Agreement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (regarding trading of the Company’s securities on the basis of material nonpublic information). It is the intent of the parties that this Section 5.1 comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act, and the Award Agreement will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.

 

5.2       Unless the withholding tax obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock on the Recipient’s behalf upon vesting of RSUs or make any cash payments for settlement of Dividend Equivalents.

 

6.         Miscellaneous.

 

6.1       No Special Service Rights.  Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment or other association with the Company (or any Affiliate), or interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any Affiliate), subject to the terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement or provision of law or corporate articles or by-laws to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or consulting agreement or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the other terms and conditions of the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates.

 

6.2       Entire Agreement; Counterparts.  This Award Agreement, including the Plan, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Award Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  In making proof of this Award Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

 

6.3       Tax Consequences.    The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the tax treatment to the Recipient of receipt of these RSUs or the corresponding Dividend Equivalents, and does not warrant to the Recipient that all compensation paid or delivered to him or her for his or her services will be exempt from, or paid in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Recipient should rely on his or her own tax advisors for all such advice.

 

6.4       Community Property.  To the extent the Recipient resides in a jurisdiction in which community property rules apply, without prejudice to the actual rights of

4

 

the spouses as between each other, for all purposes of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall be treated as agent and attorney-in-fact for that interest held or claimed by the Recipient’s spouse with respect to these RSUs and the parties hereto shall act in all matters as if the Recipient was the sole owner of these RSUs.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

7.         Receipt of Plan.  The RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents were awarded under the Plan, to which this Award Agreement is subject in all respects, including without limitation the adjustment and tax withholding provisions therein.  All capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Recipient has reviewed and understands the Plan and this Award Agreement in their entirety, and has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Award Agreement.  The Recipient hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

January 1, XXXX – December 31, XXXX

 

1.         Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or interpreted from time to time (the “Plan”),  including without limitation the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient, with effect as of the Grant Date specified above, the above indicated number of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) to obtain for each RSU that is subject to vesting based on the satisfaction of performance components, one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in the Company (the “Stock”) if (a) the Variance to Target is 0% for performance component 1, and (b)  the Rating is 4  for performance component 2, all as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, or such greater number (up to a maximum of 1.300 shares of Stock) or lesser number as is obtained by applying the sliding scale percentage factors that are to be applied to the various performance components as set forth on such Exhibit A.

 

2.         Vesting and Settlement.

 

2.1       The RSUs subject to vesting based on satisfaction of performance components are subject to cumulative achievement of goals based on the following performance components: (1) the Company’s Return on Equity, and  (2) the Recipient’s Individual Effectiveness, in the amounts and each as further described in Exhibit A attached hereto. The RSUs subject to vesting based on satisfaction of performance components shall vest in a lump sum on the date the Committee determines that the goals based on the performance components have been satisfied,  subject to the Recipient’s continued service through such date.  The Recipient’s satisfaction of goals based on performance components shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The shares of Stock earned as such RSUs vest will be transferred or issued to the Recipient (or his or her estate, in the event of his or her death) promptly after they vest, but in any event not later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which such RSUs become vested.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any settlement of RSUs would otherwise result in the issuance of a fractional share to the Recipient after aggregating all shares and fractional shares to be issued to the Recipient in connection with such settlement, then any such final fractional share

 

shall be eliminated and the Company shall pay to the Recipient, in lieu thereof, cash in an amount equal to (i) the average closing price of a share of Stock during the 10 most recent trading days prior to the date of issuance of the other shares issued in settlement of such RSU, multiplied by (ii) such fractional amount.

 

2.2       Until the RSUs vest and are issued pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall have no voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the award of RSUs under this Agreement prior to the delivery of the shares of Stock upon the vesting of the RSUs underlying the award and delivery of the shares of Stock in settlement thereof.

 

2.3       If cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Stock on or after the Grant Date and prior to the settlement of the RSU, cash dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) shall accrue on the shares of Stock underlying RSUs, which Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs. Such Dividend Equivalents will be in an amount of cash per RSU equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a share of outstanding Stock and shall accrue to the Recipient on the record date of the applicable dividend. The Dividend Equivalents accrued prior to the settlement date of each RSU will be paid to the Recipient with respect to all vested RSUs as soon as administratively feasible after each settlement date (but in any event not later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which such RSUs become vested). The Dividend Equivalents accrued on shares of Stock underlying RSUs that do not vest and are forfeited shall be automatically forfeited without notice for no consideration on the date such RSU is forfeited.

 

2.4       The Recipient’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books and records of the transfer agent for the Company with respect to the Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 only upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements of this Agreement and of the Plan.  The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Recipient.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stock shall be issued in settlement of vested RSUs if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or other law or regulation. As a condition to the issuance of Stock to the Recipient pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company may require the Recipient to make any representation or warranty to the Company at the time vested Stock becomes issuable to the Recipient as in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company may be required by any applicable law or regulation, including the execution and delivery of an appropriate representation statement.  Accordingly, the stock certificates for the Stock issued pursuant to this Award may bear appropriate legends restricting the transfer of the Stock.

 

3.         Effect of Termination.   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no RSUs shall vest following the date (the Recipient’s “Termination Date”), reasonably fixed and determined by the Committee, of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Recipient’s employment or other association with all of the Company and its Affiliates, for any or no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that military or sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association, if it does not exceed the longer of 90 days or the period during which the Recipient’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.  As of the Recipient’s Termination Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein,  all of the then

2

 

unvested RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited by the Recipient or any transferee.

 

3.1       Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Prior to the vesting and settlement of the RSUs, (i) if the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to Retirement (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause,  and (ii) provided the Recipient has executed and continues to comply with the terms of an agreement not to provide services as an employee, director, consultant, agent, or otherwise, to any of the Company’s direct competitors for a period of two (2) years from the date of Retirement (the “Retirement Date”),  then the Recipient’s RSUs shall continue to vest after the date of Retirement Date in accordance with the original terms of such RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Retirement Date occurs during the nine-month period immediately following the Grant Date, then all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited;  and (ii) if the Retirement Date occurs during the three-month period prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then the Recipient shall be eligible to earn a number of shares of Stock in the manner and as provided in Section 2 above (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the Retirement Date divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited.  “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination of employment after the age of sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of combined service to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that if the Recipient elects to terminate employment in connection with a Retirement, the Recipient must provide the Company with a minimum of (x) six (6) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the senior vice president level and above, or (y) three (3) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the first vice president level and below.

3.3       Termination of Employment Due to Disability.  If, prior to vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her Disability (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s RSUs shall vest and be settled in the manner and as provided in Section 2 with achievement not to exceed 100% payout if such termination due to Disability occurs prior to the end of the performance period (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the

3

 

Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the date of termination due to Disability divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited;  provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to Disability occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Disability” shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful occupation to which the relevant individual is suited by education, training or experience, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which condition can be expected to result in death or otherwise continue for a period of not less than twelve (12) consecutive months.

5.         Withholding Obligations.

 

5.1       At the time Recipient becomes entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs, Recipient authorizes the Company, at Company’s sole discretion, to withhold from fully vested shares of Stock otherwise issuable to Recipient pursuant to such RSUs a number of shares of Stock having a Market Value, as determined by the Company as of the first business day immediately preceding the vesting date, equal to the statutory minimum withholding tax obligation in respect of the shares of Stock otherwise issuable to Recipient (the “Share Withholding Method”).

 

5.2       Should Recipient become entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs at a time when the Share Withholding Method is not being utilized by the Company, Recipient authorizes the delivery of the shares of Stock to the Company’s designated broker with instructions to (i) sell shares of Stock sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes which arise in connection with such distribution, and (ii) remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company (“Sale to Cover”).

2.3       If cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Stock on or after the Grant Date and prior to the settlement of the RSU, cash dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) shall accrue on the shares of Stock underlying RSUs, which Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs. Such Dividend Equivalents will be in an amount of cash per RSU equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a share of outstanding Stock and shall accrue to the Recipient on the record date of the applicable dividend. The Dividend Equivalents accrued prior to the settlement date of each RSU will be paid to the Recipient with respect to all vested RSUs as soon as administratively feasible after each settlement date (but in any event not later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which such RSUs become vested). The Dividend Equivalents accrued on shares of Stock underlying RSUs that do not vest and are forfeited shall be automatically forfeited without notice for no consideration on the date such RSU is forfeited.

 

2.4       The Recipient’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books and records of the transfer agent for the Company with respect to the Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 only upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements of this Agreement and of the Plan.  The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Recipient.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stock shall be issued in settlement of vested RSUs if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or other law or regulation.  As a condition to the issuance of Stock to the Recipient pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company may require the Recipient to make any representation or warranty to the Company at the time vested Stock becomes issuable to the Recipient as in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company may be required by any applicable law or regulation, including the execution and delivery of an appropriate representation statement.  Accordingly, the stock certificates for the Stock issued pursuant to this Award may bear appropriate legends restricting the transfer of the Stock.

 

3.         Effect of Termination.   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no RSUs shall vest following the date (the Recipient’s “Termination Date”), reasonably fixed and determined by the Committee, of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Recipient’s employment or other association with all of the Company and its Affiliates, for any or no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that military or sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association, if it does not exceed the longer of 90 days or the period during which the Recipient’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.  As of the Recipient’s Termination Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein,  all of the then

2

 

unvested RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited by the Recipient or any transferee.

 

3.1       Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Prior to the vesting and settlement of the RSUs, (i) if the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to Retirement (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause,  and (ii) provided the Recipient has executed and continues to comply with the terms of an agreement not to provide services as an employee, director, consultant, agent, or otherwise, to any of the Company’s direct competitors for a period of two (2) years from the date of Retirement (the “Retirement Date”),  then the Recipient’s RSUs shall continue to vest after the date of Retirement Date in accordance with the original terms of such RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Retirement Date occurs during the nine-month period immediately following the Grant Date, then all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited;  and (ii) if the Retirement Date occurs during the three-month period prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then the Recipient shall be eligible to earn a number of shares of Stock in the manner and as provided in Section 2 above (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the Retirement Date divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited.  “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination of employment after the age of sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of combined service to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that if the Recipient elects to terminate employment in connection with a Retirement, the Recipient must provide the Company with a minimum of (x) six (6) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the senior vice president level and above, or (y) three (3) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the first vice president level and below.

 

3.2       Termination of Employment Due to Death. If, prior to vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her death and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause,  then the Recipient’s RSUs shall vest and be settled in a number of shares of Stock based on the Company’s cumulative performance achievement during the performance period and through the most recent fiscal quarter end and not to exceed 100% payout if such termination due to death occurs prior to the end of the performance period (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the date of termination due to death divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period);  provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to death occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited.

 

3.3       Termination of Employment Due to Disability.  If, prior to vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her Disability (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s RSUs shall vest and be settled in the manner and as provided in Section 2 with achievement not to exceed 100% payout if such termination due to Disability occurs prior to the end of the performance period (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the

3

 

Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the date of termination due to Disability divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited;  provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to Disability occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Disability” shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful occupation to which the relevant individual is suited by education, training or experience, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which condition can be expected to result in death or otherwise continue for a period of not less than twelve (12) consecutive months.

 

4.        Restrictions on Transfer.  The RSUs (including, without limitation, the corresponding Dividend Equivalents) may not be assigned or transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

5.         Withholding Obligations.

 

5.1       At the time Recipient becomes entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs, Recipient authorizes the delivery of the shares of Stock to the Company’s designated broker with instructions to (i) sell shares of Stock sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes which arise in connection with such distribution, and (ii) remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company. In the event the sale proceeds are insufficient to fully satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, Recipient authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Recipient, in the same calendar year, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision through the submission of cash, a check or its equivalent for any sums required to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.

 

Recipient is not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company, is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction that would prevent the designated broker from conducting sales as provided herein, does not have, and will not attempt to exercise, authority, influence or control over any sales of shares of Stock effected pursuant to this Section 5.1, and is entering into this Section 5.1 of the Award Agreement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (regarding trading of the Company’s securities on the basis of material nonpublic information). It is the intent of the parties that this Section 5.1 comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act, and the Award Agreement will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.

 

5.2       Unless the withholding tax obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock on the Recipient’s behalf upon vesting of RSUs or make any cash payments for settlement of Dividend Equivalents.

 

4

 

6.         Miscellaneous.

 

6.1       No Special Service Rights.  Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment or other association with the Company (or any Affiliate), or interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any Affiliate), subject to the terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement or provision of law or corporate articles or by-laws to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or consulting agreement or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the other terms and conditions of the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates.

 

6.2       Entire Agreement; Counterparts.  This Award Agreement, including the Plan, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Award Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  In making proof of this Award Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

 

6.3       Tax Consequences.    The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the tax treatment to the Recipient of receipt of these RSUs or the corresponding Dividend Equivalents, and does not warrant to the Recipient that all compensation paid or delivered to him or her for his or her services will be exempt from, or paid in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Recipient should rely on his or her own tax advisors for all such advice.

 

6.4       Community Property.  To the extent the Recipient resides in a jurisdiction in which community property rules apply, without prejudice to the actual rights of the spouses as between each other, for all purposes of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall be treated as agent and attorney-in-fact for that interest held or claimed by the Recipient’s spouse with respect to these RSUs and the parties hereto shall act in all matters as if the Recipient was the sole owner of these RSUs.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

7.         Receipt of Plan.  The RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents were awarded under the Plan, to which this Award Agreement is subject in all respects, including without limitation the adjustment and tax withholding provisions therein.  All capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Recipient has reviewed and understands the Plan and this Award Agreement in their entirety, and has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Award Agreement.  The Recipient hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Recipient and the Company have entered into this Award Agreement as of the Grant Date.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT SUBJECT TO CONTINUED SERVICE
AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is dated as of  ________, between PennyMac Financial Services, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the individual identified in the table below (the “Recipient”).

Recipient

 

 

 

Grant Date

 

 

 

Vesting Commencement Date

 

 

 

Number of RSUs Subject to 
Continued Service

 

 

1.         Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or interpreted from time to time (the “Plan”), including without limitation the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient, with effect as of the Grant Date specified above, the above indicated number of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) to obtain for each RSU that is subject to vesting based on continued service, one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in the Company (the “Stock”).

2.         Vesting and Settlement.

2.1       One-third (1/3) of the RSUs subject to vesting based on continued service shall vest in a lump sum on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date specified above, subject to the Recipient’s continued service through each such anniversary, except as provided below, with any fractions rounded down except on the final installment.  The shares of Stock earned as such RSUs vest will be transferred or issued to the Recipient promptly after the applicable anniversary, but in any event not later than December 31 of the calendar year in which such anniversary occurs.

2.2       Until the RSUs vest and are issued pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall have no voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the award of RSUs under this Agreement prior to the delivery of the shares of Stock upon the vesting of the RSUs underlying the award and delivery of the shares of Stock in settlement thereof.

2.3       If cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Stock on or after the Grant Date and prior to the settlement of the RSU, cash dividend

5

equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) shall accrue on the shares of Stock underlying RSUs, which Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs. Such Dividend Equivalents will be in an amount of cash per RSU equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a share of outstanding Stock and shall accrue to the Recipient on the record date of the applicable dividend. The Dividend Equivalents accrued prior to the settlement date of each vested RSU will be paid to the Recipient with respect to all vested RSUs as soon as administratively feasible after each settlement date (but in no event later than 45 days following each respective settlement date). The Dividend Equivalents accrued on shares of Stock underlying RSUs that do not vest and are forfeited shall be automatically forfeited without notice for no consideration on the date such RSU is forfeited.

2.4       The Recipient’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books and records of the transfer agent for the Company with respect to the Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 only upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements of this Agreement and of the Plan.  The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Recipient.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stock shall be issued in settlement of vested RSUs if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or other law or regulation.  As a condition to the issuance of Stock to the Recipient pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company may require the Recipient to make any representation or warranty to the Company at the time vested Stock becomes issuable to the Recipient as in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company may be required by any applicable law or regulation, including the execution and delivery of an appropriate representation statement.  Accordingly, the stock certificates for the Stock issued pursuant to this Award may bear appropriate legends restricting the transfer of the Stock.

3.         Effect of Termination.   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no RSUs shall vest following the date (the Recipient’s “Termination Date”), reasonably fixed and determined by the Committee, of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Recipient’s employment or other association with all of the Company and its Affiliates, for any or no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that military or sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association, if it does not exceed the longer of 90 days or the period during which the Recipient’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.  As of the Recipient’s Termination Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the then unvested RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited by the Recipient or any transferee.

3.1       Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Prior to the full vesting of the RSUs, (i) if the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to Retirement (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, and (ii) provided the Recipient has executed and continues to comply with the terms of an agreement not to provide services as an employee, director, consultant, agent, or otherwise, to any of the

6

Company’s direct competitors for a period of two (2) years from the date of Retirement (the “Retirement Date”), then the Recipient’s RSUs shall continue to vest and be settled after the Retirement Date in accordance with the original terms of such RSUs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Retirement Date occurs during the nine-month period immediately following the Grant Date, then all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; and (ii) if the Retirement Date occurs during the three-month period prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then one-third of the RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the Grant Date through the Retirement Date divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination of employment after the age of sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of combined service to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that if the Recipient elects to terminate employment in connection with a Retirement, the Recipient must provide the Company with a minimum of (x) six (6) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the senior vice president level and above, or (y) three (3) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the first vice president level and below.

3.2       Termination of Employment Due to Death. If, prior to full vesting of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her death and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s unvested RSUs scheduled to vest on the next anniversary of the Grant Date shall instead vest immediately (prorated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date through the date of termination due to death divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs shall be forfeited; provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to death occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited.

3.3       Termination of Employment Due to Disability. If, prior to full vesting of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her Disability (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s unvested RSUs scheduled to vest on the next anniversary of the Grant Date shall vest in accordance with the original terms of the RSUs (prorated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date through the date of termination due to Disability divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to Disability occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Disability” shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful occupation to which the relevant individual is suited by education, training or experience, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which condition can be expected to

7

result in death or otherwise continue for a period of not less than twelve (12) consecutive months.

4.         Restrictions on Transfer.  The RSUs (including, without limitation, the corresponding Dividend Equivalents) may not be assigned or transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

5.         Withholding Obligations.

5.1       At the time Recipient becomes entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs, Recipient authorizes the Company, at Company’s sole discretion, to withhold from fully vested shares of Stock otherwise issuable to Recipient pursuant to such RSUs a number of shares of Stock having a Market Value, as determined by the Company as of the first business day immediately preceding the vesting date, equal to the statutory minimum withholding tax obligation in respect of the shares of Stock otherwise issuable to Recipient (the “Share Withholding Method”).

5.2       Should Recipient become entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs at a time when the Share Withholding Method is not being utilized by the Company, Recipient authorizes the delivery of the shares of Stock to the Company’s designated broker with instructions to (i) sell shares of Stock sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes which arise in connection with such distribution, and (ii) remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company (“Sale to Cover”). In the event the sale proceeds are insufficient to fully satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, Recipient authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Recipient, in the same calendar year, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision through the submission of cash, a check or its equivalent for any sums required to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.

Recipient is not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company, is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction that would prevent the designated broker from conducting sales as provided herein, does not have, and will not attempt to exercise, authority, influence or control over any sales of shares of Stock effected pursuant to this Section 5.2, and is entering into this Section 5.2 of the Award Agreement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (regarding trading of the Company’s securities on the basis of material nonpublic information). It is the intent of the parties that the Sale to Cover transactions pursuant to this Section 5.2 comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act, and the Award Agreement will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.

5.3       Unless the withholding tax obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock on the Recipient’s behalf upon vesting of RSUs or make any cash payments for settlement of Dividend Equivalents.

8

6.         Miscellaneous.

6.1       No Special Service Rights.  Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment or other association with the Company (or any Affiliate), or interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any Affiliate), subject to the terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement or provision of law or corporate articles or by-laws to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or consulting agreement or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the other terms and conditions of the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates.

6.2       Entire Agreement; Counterparts.  This Award Agreement, including the Plan, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Award Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  In making proof of this Award Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

6.3       Tax Consequences.    The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the tax treatment to the Recipient of receipt of these RSUs or the corresponding Dividend Equivalents, and does not warrant to the Recipient that all compensation paid or delivered to him or her for his or her services will be exempt from, or paid in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Recipient should rely on his or her own tax advisors for all such advice.

6.4       Community Property.  To the extent the Recipient resides in a jurisdiction in which community property rules apply, without prejudice to the actual rights of the spouses as between each other, for all purposes of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall be treated as agent and attorney-in-fact for that interest held or claimed by the Recipient’s spouse with respect to these RSUs and the parties hereto shall act in all matters as if the Recipient was the sole owner of these RSUs.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

7.         Receipt of Plan.  The RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents were awarded under the Plan, to which this Award Agreement is subject in all respects, including without limitation the adjustment and tax withholding provisions therein.  All capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Recipient has reviewed and understands the Plan and this Award Agreement in their entirety, and has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Award Agreement.  The Recipient hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

The RSUs subject to vesting based on satisfaction of performance components shall vest in a lump sum on the date the Committee determines that the goals based on the performance components have been satisfied, subject to the Recipient’s continued service through such date.  The Recipient’s satisfaction of goals based on performance components shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The shares of Stock earned as such RSUs vest will be transferred or issued to the Recipient (or his or her estate, in the event of his or her death) promptly after they vest, but in any event not later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which such RSUs become vested.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any settlement of RSUs would otherwise result in the issuance of a fractional share to the Recipient after aggregating all shares and fractional shares to be

12

issued to the Recipient in connection with such settlement, then any such final fractional share shall be eliminated and the Company shall pay to the Recipient, in lieu thereof, cash in an amount equal to (i) the average closing price of a share of Stock during the 10 most recent trading days prior to the date of issuance of the other shares issued in settlement of such RSU, multiplied by (ii) such fractional amount.

2.2       Until the RSUs vest and are issued pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall have no voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the award of RSUs under this Agreement prior to the delivery of the shares of Stock upon the vesting of the RSUs underlying the award and delivery of the shares of Stock in settlement thereof.

2.3       If cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Stock on or after the Grant Date and prior to the settlement of the RSU, cash dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) shall accrue on the shares of Stock underlying RSUs, which Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs. Such Dividend Equivalents will be in an amount of cash per RSU equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a share of outstanding Stock and shall accrue to the Recipient on the record date of the applicable dividend. The Dividend Equivalents accrued prior to the settlement date of each RSU will be paid to the Recipient with respect to all vested RSUs as soon as administratively feasible after each settlement date (but in any event not later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which such RSUs become vested). The Dividend Equivalents accrued on shares of Stock underlying RSUs that do not vest and are forfeited shall be automatically forfeited without notice for no consideration on the date such RSU is forfeited.

2.4       The Recipient’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books and records of the transfer agent for the Company with respect to the Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 only upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements of this Agreement and of the Plan.  The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Recipient.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stock shall be issued in settlement of vested RSUs if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or other law or regulation. As a condition to the issuance of Stock to the Recipient pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company may require the Recipient to make any representation or warranty to the Company at the time vested Stock becomes issuable to the Recipient as in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company may be required by any applicable law or regulation, including the execution and delivery of an appropriate representation statement.  Accordingly, the stock certificates for the Stock issued pursuant to this Award may bear appropriate legends restricting the transfer of the Stock.

3.         Effect of Termination.   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no RSUs shall vest following the date (the Recipient’s “Termination Date”), reasonably fixed and determined by the Committee, of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Recipient’s employment or other association with all of the Company and its Affiliates, for any or no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that military or sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of

13

employment or other association, if it does not exceed the longer of 90 days or the period during which the Recipient’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.  As of the Recipient’s Termination Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the then unvested RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited by the Recipient or any transferee.

3.1       Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Prior to the vesting and settlement of the RSUs, (i) if the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to Retirement (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, and (ii) provided the Recipient has executed and continues to comply with the terms of an agreement not to provide services as an employee, director, consultant, agent, or otherwise, to any of the Company’s direct competitors for a period of two (2) years from the date of Retirement (the “Retirement Date”), then the Recipient’s RSUs shall continue to vest after the date of Retirement Date in accordance with the original terms of such RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Retirement Date occurs during the nine-month period immediately following the Grant Date, then all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; and (ii) if the Retirement Date occurs during the three-month period prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then the Recipient shall be eligible to earn a number of shares of Stock in the manner and as provided in Section 2 above (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the Retirement Date divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination of employment after the age of sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of combined service to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that if the Recipient elects to terminate employment in connection with a Retirement, the Recipient must provide the Company with a minimum of (x) six (6) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the senior vice president level and above, or (y) three (3) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the first vice president level and below.

3.2       Termination of Employment Due to Death. If, prior to vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her death and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s RSUs shall vest and be settled in a number of shares of Stock based on the Company’s cumulative performance achievement during the performance period and through the most recent fiscal quarter end and not to exceed 100% payout if such termination due to death occurs prior to the end of the performance period (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the date of termination due to death divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period); provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to death occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited.

14

3.3       Termination of Employment Due to Disability. If, prior to vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her Disability (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s RSUs shall vest and be settled in the manner and as provided in Section 2 with achievement not to exceed 100% payout if such termination due to Disability occurs prior to the end of the performance period (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the date of termination due to Disability divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to Disability occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Disability” shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful occupation to which the relevant individual is suited by education, training or experience, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which condition can be expected to result in death or otherwise continue for a period of not less than twelve (12) consecutive months.

4.         Restrictions on Transfer.  The RSUs (including, without limitation, the corresponding Dividend Equivalents) may not be assigned or transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

5.         Withholding Obligations.

5.1       At the time Recipient becomes entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs, Recipient authorizes the Company, at Company’s sole discretion, to withhold from fully vested shares of Stock otherwise issuable to Recipient pursuant to such RSUs a number of shares of Stock having a Market Value, as determined by the Company as of the first business day immediately preceding the vesting date, equal to the statutory minimum withholding tax obligation in respect of the shares of Stock otherwise issuable to Recipient (the “Share Withholding Method”).

5.2       Should Recipient become entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs at a time when the Share Withholding Method is not being utilized by the Company, Recipient authorizes the delivery of the shares of Stock to the Company’s designated broker with instructions to (i) sell shares of Stock sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes which arise in connection with such distribution, and (ii) remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company (“Sale to Cover”). In the event the sale proceeds are insufficient to fully satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, Recipient authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Recipient, in the same calendar year, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision through the submission of cash, a check or its equivalent for any sums required to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.

Recipient is not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company, is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction that would prevent the designated broker from conducting sales as provided herein, does not have, and will not attempt to exercise, authority, influence or control over any sales of shares of Stock effected pursuant to this Section 5.2, and is entering into this Section 5.2 of the

15

Award Agreement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (regarding trading of the Company’s securities on the basis of material nonpublic information). It is the intent of the parties that the Sale to Cover transactions pursuant to this Section 5.2 comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act, and the Award Agreement will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.

5.3       Unless the withholding tax obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock on the Recipient’s behalf upon vesting of RSUs or make any cash payments for settlement of Dividend Equivalents.

6.         Miscellaneous.

6.1       No Special Service Rights.  Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment or other association with the Company (or any Affiliate), or interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any Affiliate), subject to the terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement or provision of law or corporate articles or by-laws to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or consulting agreement or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the other terms and conditions of the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates.

6.2       Entire Agreement; Counterparts.  This Award Agreement, including the Plan, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Award Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  In making proof of this Award Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

6.3       Tax Consequences.    The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the tax treatment to the Recipient of receipt of these RSUs or the corresponding Dividend Equivalents, and does not warrant to the Recipient that all compensation paid or delivered to him or her for his or her services will be exempt from, or paid in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Recipient should rely on his or her own tax advisors for all such advice.

6.4       Community Property.  To the extent the Recipient resides in a jurisdiction in which community property rules apply, without prejudice to the actual rights of the spouses as between each other, for all purposes of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall be treated as agent and attorney-in-fact for that interest held or claimed by the Recipient’s spouse with respect to these RSUs and the parties hereto shall act in all matters as if the Recipient was the sole owner of these RSUs.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

7.         Receipt of Plan.  The RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents were awarded under the Plan, to which this Award Agreement is subject in all respects, including without limitation the adjustment and tax withholding provisions therein.  All capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed

16

thereto in the Plan. The Recipient has reviewed and understands the Plan and this Award Agreement in their entirety, and has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Award Agreement.  The Recipient hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Recipient and the Company have entered into this Award Agreement as of the Grant Date.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT SUBJECT TO CONTINUED SERVICE

Recipient

 

 

 

Grant Date

 

 

 

Vesting Commencement Date

 

 

 

Number of RSUs Subject to 
Continued Service

 

 

1.         Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or interpreted from time to time (the “Plan”), including without limitation the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient, with effect as of the Grant Date specified above, the above indicated number of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) to obtain for each RSU that is subject to vesting based on continued service, one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in the Company (the “Stock”).

2.         Vesting and Settlement.

2.1       One-third (1/3) of the RSUs subject to vesting based on continued service shall vest in a lump sum on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date specified above, subject to the Recipient’s continued service through each such anniversary, except as provided below, with any fractions rounded down except on the final installment.  The shares of Stock earned as such RSUs vest will be transferred or issued to the Recipient promptly after the applicable anniversary, but in any event not later than December 31 of the calendar year in which such anniversary occurs.

2.2       Until the RSUs vest and are issued pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall have no voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the award of RSUs under this Agreement prior to the delivery of the shares of Stock upon the vesting of the RSUs underlying the award and delivery of the shares of Stock in settlement thereof.

2.3       If cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Stock on or after the Grant Date and prior to the settlement of the RSU, cash dividend

5

equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) shall accrue on the shares of Stock underlying RSUs, which Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs. Such Dividend Equivalents will be in an amount of cash per RSU equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a share of outstanding Stock and shall accrue to the Recipient on the record date of the applicable dividend. The Dividend Equivalents accrued prior to the settlement date of each vested RSU will be paid to the Recipient with respect to all vested RSUs as soon as administratively feasible after each settlement date (but in no event later than 45 days following each respective settlement date). The Dividend Equivalents accrued on shares of Stock underlying RSUs that do not vest and are forfeited shall be automatically forfeited without notice for no consideration on the date such RSU is forfeited.

2.4       The Recipient’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books and records of the transfer agent for the Company with respect to the Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 only upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements of this Agreement and of the Plan.  The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Recipient.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stock shall be issued in settlement of vested RSUs if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or other law or regulation.  As a condition to the issuance of Stock to the Recipient pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company may require the Recipient to make any representation or warranty to the Company at the time vested Stock becomes issuable to the Recipient as in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company may be required by any applicable law or regulation, including the execution and delivery of an appropriate representation statement.  Accordingly, the stock certificates for the Stock issued pursuant to this Award may bear appropriate legends restricting the transfer of the Stock.

3.         Effect of Termination.   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no RSUs shall vest following the date (the Recipient’s “Termination Date”), reasonably fixed and determined by the Committee, of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Recipient’s employment or other association with all of the Company and its Affiliates, for any or no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that military or sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association, if it does not exceed the longer of 90 days or the period during which the Recipient’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.  As of the Recipient’s Termination Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the then unvested RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited by the Recipient or any transferee.

3.1       Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Prior to the full vesting of the RSUs, (i) if the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to Retirement (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, and (ii) provided the Recipient has executed and continues to comply with the terms of an agreement not to provide services as an employee, director, consultant, agent, or otherwise, to any of the

6

Company’s direct competitors for a period of two (2) years from the date of Retirement (the “Retirement Date”), then the Recipient’s RSUs shall continue to vest and be settled after the Retirement Date in accordance with the original terms of such RSUs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Retirement Date occurs during the nine-month period immediately following the Grant Date, then all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; and (ii) if the Retirement Date occurs during the three-month period prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then one-third of the RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the Grant Date through the Retirement Date divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination of employment after the age of sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of combined service to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that if the Recipient elects to terminate employment in connection with a Retirement, the Recipient must provide the Company with a minimum of (x) six (6) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the senior vice president level and above, or (y) three (3) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the first vice president level and below.

3.2       Termination of Employment Due to Death. If, prior to full vesting of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her death and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s unvested RSUs scheduled to vest on the next anniversary of the Grant Date shall instead vest immediately (prorated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date through the date of termination due to death divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs shall be forfeited; provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to death occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited.

3.3       Termination of Employment Due to Disability. If, prior to full vesting of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her Disability (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s unvested RSUs scheduled to vest on the next anniversary of the Grant Date shall vest in accordance with the original terms of the RSUs (prorated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date through the date of termination due to Disability divided by (B) twelve (12)) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to Disability occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Disability” shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful occupation to which the relevant individual is suited by education, training or experience, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which condition can be expected to

7

result in death or otherwise continue for a period of not less than twelve (12) consecutive months.

4.         Restrictions on Transfer.  The RSUs (including, without limitation, the corresponding Dividend Equivalents) may not be assigned or transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

5.         Withholding Obligations.

5.1       At the time Recipient becomes entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs, Recipient authorizes the delivery of the shares of Stock to the Company’s designated broker with instructions to (i) sell shares of Stock sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes which arise in connection with such distribution, and (ii) remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company. In the event the sale proceeds are insufficient to fully satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, Recipient authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Recipient, in the same calendar year, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision through the submission of cash, a check or its equivalent for any sums required to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.

It is the intent of the parties that this Section 5.1 comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act, and the Award Agreement will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.

5.2       Unless the withholding tax obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock on the Recipient’s behalf upon vesting of RSUs or make any cash payments for settlement of Dividend Equivalents.

6.         Miscellaneous.

6.1       No Special Service Rights.  Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment or other association with the Company (or any Affiliate), or interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any Affiliate), subject to the terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement or provision of law or corporate articles or by-laws to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or consulting agreement or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the other terms and conditions of the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates.

1.         Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or interpreted from time to time (the “Plan”), including without limitation the vesting provisions set forth in Section 2, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient, with effect as of the Grant Date specified above, the above indicated number of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) to obtain for each RSU that is subject to vesting based on the satisfaction of performance components, one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in the Company (the “Stock”) if (a) the Variance to Target is 0% for performance component 1, and (b) the Rating is 4 for performance component 2, all as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, or such greater number (up to a maximum of 1.300 shares of Stock) or lesser number as is obtained by applying the sliding scale percentage factors that are to be applied to the various performance components as set forth on such Exhibit A.

2.         Vesting and Settlement.

2.1       The RSUs subject to vesting based on satisfaction of performance components are subject to cumulative achievement of goals based on the following performance components: (1) the Company’s Return on Equity, and (2) the Recipient’s Individual Effectiveness, in the amounts and each as further described in Exhibit A attached hereto.  The RSUs subject to vesting based on satisfaction of performance components shall vest in a lump sum on the date the Committee determines that the goals based on the performance components have been satisfied, subject to the Recipient’s continued service through such date. The Recipient’s satisfaction of goals based on performance components shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The shares of Stock earned as such RSUs vest will be transferred or issued to the Recipient (or his or her estate, in the event of his or her death) promptly after they vest, but in any event not later than the 15th day of the third month following

11

the end of the calendar year in which such RSUs become vested.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any settlement of RSUs would otherwise result in the issuance of a fractional share to the Recipient after aggregating all shares and fractional shares to be issued to the Recipient in connection with such settlement, then any such final fractional share shall be eliminated and the Company shall pay to the Recipient, in lieu thereof, cash in an amount equal to (i) the average closing price of a share of Stock during the 10 most recent trading days prior to the date of issuance of the other shares issued in settlement of such RSU, multiplied by (ii) such fractional amount.

2.2       Until the RSUs vest and are issued pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall have no voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the award of RSUs under this Agreement prior to the delivery of the shares of Stock upon the vesting of the RSUs underlying the award and delivery of the shares of Stock in settlement thereof.

2.3       If cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Stock on or after the Grant Date and prior to the settlement of the RSU, cash dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) shall accrue on the shares of Stock underlying RSUs, which Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs. Such Dividend Equivalents will be in an amount of cash per RSU equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a share of outstanding Stock and shall accrue to the Recipient on the record date of the applicable dividend. The Dividend Equivalents accrued prior to the settlement date of each RSU will be paid to the Recipient with respect to all vested RSUs as soon as administratively feasible after each settlement date (but in any event not later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which such RSUs become vested). The Dividend Equivalents accrued on shares of Stock underlying RSUs that do not vest and are forfeited shall be automatically forfeited without notice for no consideration on the date such RSU is forfeited.

2.4       The Recipient’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books and records of the transfer agent for the Company with respect to the Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 only upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements of this Agreement and of the Plan.  The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Recipient.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stock shall be issued in settlement of vested RSUs if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or other law or regulation.  As a condition to the issuance of Stock to the Recipient pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company may require the Recipient to make any representation or warranty to the Company at the time vested Stock becomes issuable to the Recipient as in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company may be required by any applicable law or regulation, including the execution and delivery of an appropriate representation statement.  Accordingly, the stock certificates for the Stock issued pursuant to this Award may bear appropriate legends restricting the transfer of the Stock.

3.         Effect of Termination.   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no RSUs shall vest following the date (the Recipient’s “Termination Date”), reasonably fixed and determined by the Committee, of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Recipient’s employment or other association with all of the Company and its Affiliates, for any or no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that military or sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association, if it does not exceed the longer of 90 days or the period during which the Recipient’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.  As of the Recipient’s Termination Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the then unvested RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited by the Recipient or any transferee.

3.1       Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Prior to the vesting and settlement of the RSUs, (i) if the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to Retirement (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, and (ii) provided the Recipient has executed and continues to comply with the terms of an agreement not to provide services as an employee, director, consultant, agent, or otherwise, to any of the Company’s direct competitors for a period of two (2) years from the date of Retirement (the “Retirement Date”), then the Recipient’s RSUs shall continue to vest after the date of Retirement Date in accordance with the original terms of such RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Retirement Date occurs during the nine-month period immediately following the Grant Date, then all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; and (ii) if the Retirement Date occurs during the three-month period prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then the Recipient shall be eligible to earn a number of shares of Stock in the manner and as provided in Section 2 above (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the Retirement Date divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination of employment after the age of sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of combined service to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that if the Recipient elects to terminate employment in connection with a Retirement, the Recipient must provide the Company with a minimum of (x) six (6) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the senior vice president level and above, or (y) three (3) months prior written notice of such Retirement if such Recipient’s title is at the first vice president level and below.

3.2       Termination of Employment Due to Death. If, prior to vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her death and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s RSUs shall vest and be settled in a number of shares of Stock based on the Company’s cumulative performance achievement during the performance period and through the most recent fiscal quarter end and not to exceed 100% payout if such termination due to death occurs prior to the end of the performance period (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the

13

Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the date of termination due to death divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period); provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to death occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited.

3.3       Termination of Employment Due to Disability. If, prior to vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company is terminated due to his/her Disability (as defined below) and the Company does not have grounds to terminate Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company for cause, then the Recipient’s RSUs shall vest and be settled in the manner and as provided in Section 2 with achievement not to exceed 100% payout if such termination due to Disability occurs prior to the end of the performance period (pro-rated based on (A) the number of full months of the Recipient’s employment from the beginning of the performance period through the date of termination due to Disability divided by (B) the total number of months in the performance period) and the remaining RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited; provided, however, that if the Recipient’s termination due to Disability occurs during the one-month period following the Grant Date, all of the RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited. “Disability” shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful occupation to which the relevant individual is suited by education, training or experience, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which condition can be expected to result in death or otherwise continue for a period of not less than twelve (12) consecutive months.

4.          Restrictions on Transfer.  The RSUs (including, without limitation, the corresponding Dividend Equivalents) may not be assigned or transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

5.         Withholding Obligations.

5.1       At the time Recipient becomes entitled to receive a distribution of shares of Stock upon vesting of RSUs, Recipient authorizes the delivery of the shares of Stock to the Company’s designated broker with instructions to (i) sell shares of Stock sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes which arise in connection with such distribution, and (ii) remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company. In the event the sale proceeds are insufficient to fully satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, Recipient authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Recipient, in the same calendar year, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision through the submission of cash, a check or its equivalent for any sums required to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.

Recipient is not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company, is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction that would prevent the designated broker from conducting sales as provided herein, does not have, and will not attempt to exercise, authority, influence or control over any sales of shares of Stock effected pursuant to this Section 5.1, and is entering into this Section 5.1 of the Award Agreement in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

14

Exchange Act”) (regarding trading of the Company’s securities on the basis of material nonpublic information). It is the intent of the parties that this Section 5.1 comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act, and the Award Agreement will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.

5.2       Unless the withholding tax obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock on the Recipient’s behalf upon vesting of RSUs or make any cash payments for settlement of Dividend Equivalents.

6.         Miscellaneous.

6.1       No Special Service Rights.  Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment or other association with the Company (or any Affiliate), or interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any Affiliate), subject to the terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement or provision of law or corporate articles or by-laws to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or consulting agreement or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the other terms and conditions of the Recipient’s employment or other association with the Company and its Affiliates.

6.2       Entire Agreement; Counterparts.  This Award Agreement, including the Plan, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Award Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  In making proof of this Award Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

6.3       Tax Consequences.    The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the tax treatment to the Recipient of receipt of these RSUs or the corresponding Dividend Equivalents, and does not warrant to the Recipient that all compensation paid or delivered to him or her for his or her services will be exempt from, or paid in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Recipient should rely on his or her own tax advisors for all such advice.

6.4       Community Property.  To the extent the Recipient resides in a jurisdiction in which community property rules apply, without prejudice to the actual rights of the spouses as between each other, for all purposes of this Award Agreement, the Recipient shall be treated as agent and attorney-in-fact for that interest held or claimed by the Recipient’s spouse with respect to these RSUs and the parties hereto shall act in all matters as if the Recipient was the sole owner of these RSUs.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

7.         Receipt of Plan.  The RSUs and the corresponding Dividend Equivalents were awarded under the Plan, to which this Award Agreement is subject in all respects, including without limitation the adjustment and tax withholding provisions therein.  All capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed

15

thereto in the Plan. The Recipient has reviewed and understands the Plan and this Award Agreement in their entirety, and has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Award Agreement.  The Recipient hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

(n)        Part I of Schedule 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting sub-section (cc) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(cc)       No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests.  The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature. Except with respect to any Agency Mortgage Loan that was originated in connection with an Agency approved program permitting the establishment of a temporary buydown account from which payments on the related Mortgage Loan shall be made, the Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision.  With respect to any Agency Mortgage Loan originated pursuant to such an Agency approved temporary buydown program, (i) the related Mortgagor satisfied the Underwriting Guidelines and all provisions of any Agency Guide and qualified for the related Mortgage Loan at the fully indexed rate; (ii) the Mortgage and the Note reflect the permanent payment terms rather than the payment terms of the buydown agreement; (iii) the buydown agreement provides for the payment by the related Mortgagor of the full amount of the Monthly Payment on any Due Date that the buydown funds are not available; (iv) the buydown funds were not used to reduce the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or to increase the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property when calculating the LTV of the Mortgage Loan and, if required under any Agency Guide, the terms of the buydown agreement were disclosed to the appraiser of the Mortgaged Property; (v) the buydown funds may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the Mortgagor makes a principal payment for the outstanding balance of the related Mortgage Loan; and (vi) as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions of the related buydown agreement complied with all requirements of any Agency Guide.

(o)        Part I of Schedule 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting sub-section (jj) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(jj)        Appraisal.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, other than an Agency Mortgage Loan for which the related Agency has granted a property inspection waiver, the Mortgage File contains either (i) an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of (a) in the case of a Jumbo Mortgage Loan or a Non-QM Mortgage Loan, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or (b) in the case of an Agency Mortgage Loan, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, FHA, RHS or VA, as applicable, and in any case, Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 as amended and the

5

 

regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated, or (ii) in the case of an Agency Mortgage Loan, another valuation model otherwise permitted under applicable Agency Guides and acceptable to Buyer.

(p)        Part I of Schedule 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new sub-section (ddd) to read in its entirety as follows:

 

(ddd)     ATR; Qualified Mortgages.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, where an application for the Mortgage Loan was taken on or after January 10, 2014, such Mortgage Loan: (i) complies with the “ability to repay” standards as set forth in Section 129C(a) of the federal Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. 1639c(a), as further noted in Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R Part 1026.43(c), as may be amended from time to time; and (ii) except with respect to any Non-QM Mortgage Loan, is a “Qualified Mortgage” as defined in Section 129C(b) of the federal Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. 1639c(b) and as further defined in Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. Part 1026.43(e), as may be amended from time to time, where the annual percentage rate did not exceed the average price offer rate for a comparable transaction as of the date the interest rate was set by 1.5% or more.

(q)        The definition of Loan to Value Ratio or LTV Part II of Schedule 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Loan-to-Value Ratio” or “LTV” means (a) with respect to any Jumbo Mortgage Loan or Non-Qualified Mortgage Loan, the ratio of the original outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan to the lesser of (i) the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property at origination or (ii) if the Mortgaged Property was purchased within 12 months of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property, and (b) with respect to any Agency Mortgage Loan, the loan to value ratio of such Mortgage Loan as determined in accordance with the Agency Guides of the Agency which is insuring or guaranteeing such Mortgage Loan or to which such Mortgage Loan is eligible to be sold.

Section 2.02    Procedure for Entering into Transactions.

(a)        During the Commitment Period, on any Purchase Date prior to the Amortization Date, the Seller may enter into Transactions with the Buyer under the MSR PC Repo Facility by delivering to the Buyer an irrevocable notice (each, a “Transaction Notice”) no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Transaction Notice Date, which notice (i) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02, (ii) shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Seller, and (iii) shall specify (A) the dollar amount of the requested Purchase Price, (B) the value of the Eligible Servicing Rights on the Seller’s books and records, and (C) the information required to be included in the Asset Schedule with respect to each such Asset in mutually acceptable electronic form.

(b)        The initial Transaction (the “Initial Transaction”) shall not be less than $5,000,000. The Seller may request a Transaction on any Business Day; provided, however, a Purchase Date may not fall on any of the five (5) last Business Days in any calendar month unless otherwise agreed to by the Buyer. Each Transaction Notice shall include an Electronic File describing the Participation Certificate and all of the Eligible Servicing Rights that are included in the Repurchase Assets hereunder.

(c)        Regardless whether the Seller intends to deliver a Transaction Notice during any calendar month, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day) (any such day, an “Asset Reporting Date”), an Electronic File with respect to the Participation Certificate and all of the Eligible Servicing Rights that are included in the Repurchase Assets hereunder, which shall include all updates to the Repurchase Assets since the date of the preceding Electronic File.

-3-

 

(d)        If the Seller delivers to the Buyer a Transaction Notice that satisfies the requirements of Section 2.02(a), the Buyer will notify the Seller no later than the Purchase Date of its intent to remit the requested Purchase Price.  If all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V have been satisfied on or prior to the Purchase Date, then subject to the foregoing, on the Purchase Date, the Buyer shall remit the amount of the requested Purchase Price in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds.

(e)        In the Buyer’s determination of Asset Value of the Participation Certificate and the related Servicing Rights hereunder for purposes of determining the Asset Base, it shall apply the MSR Value of the Eligible Servicing Rights in a related Asset Base Report.  Any excess of the amount of the Purchase Price over the Asset Value shall result in a Margin Deficit as set forth in Section 2.07.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.02, the Buyer shall have the right to determine the Asset Value at any time in its sole discretion.

(f)        By delivering a Transaction Notice, the Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer that, after taking into account the amount of the Purchase Price, all conditions precedent to such Transaction specified in Section 5.02 have been satisfied.

(g)        Upon entering into each Transaction hereunder, the Asset Schedule shall be automatically updated to include each of the Assets listed on the Asset Schedule attached to the Transaction Notice.

Section 2.03    Asset Base Reports. With respect to each Purchase Date, the Buyer shall determine the Asset Value of the Participation Certificate and the related Eligible Servicing Rights to be pledged as security for the transfer of the Purchase Price on such Purchase Date and shall communicate such determination by providing the Seller with an Asset Base Report prior to such Purchase Date. For purposes of preparing each Asset Base Report, the Buyer shall calculate the Asset Value of the Participation Certificate based on the Eligible Servicing Rights described in the Relevant Electronic File.

Section 2.04    Price Differential.  Price Differential shall accrue on each Transaction for each day during a related Price Differential Period at a per annum rate equal to the product of (x) the outstanding aggregate amount of the Purchase Price on such day, multiplied by (y) the sum of (i) the applicable LIBOR Rate for such day and (ii) the Applicable Margin (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Pricing Rate”).  Price Differential shall be payable on each Price Differential Payment Date in arrears with respect to each Transaction through the final day of each Price Differential Period (regardless whether such day is a Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBOR Rate for each Transaction, which may be reset on a daily basis, as set forth in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” and provide notice of such determination to the Seller. The Buyer shall also calculate the amount of Price Differential or other amounts due to be paid by the Seller from time to time hereunder (including in connection with any prepayment or repayment of the Repurchase Price permitted hereunder) and shall provide a written statement thereof to the Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the due date of such payments (or the relevant repayment or prepayment after having received a notice thereof); provided, that failure to provide such statements on a timely basis shall not relieve the Seller of the obligation to pay any Price Differential and Purchase Price due on the applicable payment date (based upon its good faith calculation of the amount due, such amount to be promptly reconciled after receipt of a subsequent

-4-

 

statement from the Buyer) and other such amounts hereunder promptly upon receipt of such statement.

Section 2.05    Increased Capital Costs. If the Buyer determines in its sole discretion that any Change in Law or any change in accounting rules regarding capital requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Buyer’s capital under this Agreement as a consequence of such Change in Law or change in accounting rules, then from time to time the Seller will compensate the Buyer for such reduced rate of return suffered as a consequence of such Change in Law or change in accounting rules on terms similar to those imposed by the Buyer. Further, if due to the introduction of, any change in, or the compliance by the Buyer with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement, or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority whether or not having the force of law, there shall be an increase in the cost to the Buyer as a consequence of the Transactions or other advances of funds made by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents relating to entering into Transactions or commitments under this Agreement, then the Seller shall from time to time and upon demand by the Buyer, compensate the Buyer for such increased costs, and such amounts shall be deemed a part of the Obligations hereunder. The Buyer shall provide the Seller with notice as to any such Change in Law, change in accounting rules or change in compliance promptly following the Buyer’s receipt of actual knowledge thereof.

Section 2.06   Alternate Rate of Interest. If on any Business Day, the Buyer determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (a) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate; or (b) that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Buyer of entering into Transaction; or (c) that it has become unlawful for it to honor its obligation to enter into Transactions hereunder using the LIBOR Rate, or maintain existing Transactions, then the Buyer shall give notice thereof to the Seller by telephone, facsimile, or other electronic means as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Buyer notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Transaction Notice that requests that the Buyer enter into a new Transaction, subject to the timely approval of the Seller after receipt of notice of such revised rate, shall be at a rate per annum that the Buyer determines in its reasonable discretion adequately reflects the cost to the Buyer of entering into Transaction or maintaining an existing Transaction.

Section 2.07    Margin Calls.

(a)        If, on any Business Day (a “Margin Shortfall Day”), the Buyer provides written notice to the Seller that the Buyer has determined in its sole reasonable discretion based on the Asset Base Report most recently delivered by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.03 that the outstanding aggregate Repurchase Price on such day exceeds the lesser of (i) the Asset Base and (ii) the Maximum Purchase Price on such day (such circumstance, a “Margin Deficit”), the Seller (i) on the same day if the Buyer notifies the Seller by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) of such Margin Deficit, or (ii) if the notice is received later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time), then within one (1) Business Day after the Margin Shortfall Day, shall pay the Repurchase Price (including accrued Price Differential on Transactions entered into by it), in an amount equal to the amount of the Margin Deficit specified in the notice provided to the Seller by the Buyer (such requirement a “Margin Call”).

Section 2.08    Mandatory Repurchase; Optional Prepayment.

(a)        On each Repurchase Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day) from and after the Amortization Date, and continuing until the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price shall be reduced to zero, the Seller shall repay an amount equal to at least one-twelfth (1/12) of the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price as of the Amortization Date with respect to all Transactions and all other amounts due under this Agreement.  The Repurchase Price may be paid in accordance with the terms of Section 2.08 hereof and, to the extent repaid, provided the Amortization Date shall not have occurred, additional Transactions may be entered into hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof (including satisfaction of all conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts owing under the MSR PC Repo Facility shall be immediately due and payable on the Termination Date.

(b)        The Seller may, at its option, prepay the Repurchase Price in full or in part on any date (any such date, an “Optional Prepayment Date”) by delivering a Repurchase Notice to the Buyer one (1) Business Day prior to each Optional Prepayment Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall be permitted at any time, without limitation, to prepay a portion of the Repurchase Price related to an individual Transaction in connection with a Margin Call (any such date, a “Margin Call Payment Date,” and together with an Optional Prepayment Date, a “Prepayment Date”).  Any such prepayment received by the Buyer by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Prepayment Date shall be applied by the Buyer on such Business Day.  Any such prepayment received by the Buyer after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Prepayment Date shall be applied by the Buyer on the following Business Day.  For the avoidance of doubt, any optional prepayment in full shall not result in the termination of this Agreement unless such termination is declared in writing by the Seller, acting in its discretion.

Section 2.09    Payment Procedure.

(a)        The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited all amounts constituting collection, payments and proceeds of Assets (including, without limitation, all fees and proceeds of sale) into the Dedicated Account in accordance with Section 7.01(ee) hereof to be applied in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof. The Seller absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably, shall make, or cause to be made, all payments required to be made by the Seller hereunder whether or not sufficient amounts are on deposit in the Dedicated Account.

(b)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall be entitled to retain, from payments on, or relating to, the Mortgage Loans, all Ancillary Income.  Ancillary Income shall not be required to be deposited into the Dedicated Account, and shall not be subject to any offset, netting or withdrawal under this Agreement.

(e)        All payments made by the Seller under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.

Section 3.02    Taxes.

(a)        All payments made by any Seller Party under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority therewith or thereon, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes or franchise taxes imposed, in each case, by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which the Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or a state or foreign jurisdiction with respect to which the Buyer has a present or former connection (other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being party to, engaging in any transaction pursuant to, performing its obligations under or enforcing  or assigning any Facility Document), or any political subdivision thereof (collectively, such non-excluded taxes are hereinafter called “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by the Seller Party not later than the date when due. If the Seller Party is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due, (c) deliver to the Buyer and/or the Administrative Agent, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to the Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such taxes; and (d) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.02(d) below, pay to the Buyer and/or the Administrative Agent such additional amounts (including all taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on such additional amounts) as may be necessary so that the Buyer receives, free and clear of all Taxes (and any taxes imposed thereon), a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding for Taxes had been made.

(b)        In addition, each Seller Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by any taxing authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

(c)        Each Seller Party agrees to indemnify the Buyer and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.02, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses arising thereon or with respect thereto) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that the Buyer shall have provided the Seller Party and the Administrative Agent with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Seller Party, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d)        Any Buyer that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Foreign Purchaser”) shall provide the Seller with original properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Person is either (1) entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which eliminates or (2) otherwise fully exempt from United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Lender becomes a Buyer. Each Foreign Lender will resubmit the appropriate form eliminating withholding tax on payments to it on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission, or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Person as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441-1(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which the Foreign Lender has failed to provide the Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document (x) as expressly required under this Section 3.02(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, under the first sentence of this Section 3.02(d)) or (y) otherwise as required to establish exemption from United States withholding under FATCA, by such Person or by such Person’s assignor or transferor, such Person shall not be entitled to “gross-up” of Taxes under Section 3.02(d) or indemnification under Section 3.02(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States which are imposed because of such failure; provided, however that should a Foreign Lender, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Lender to recover such Taxes.

(e)        Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of a Seller Party hereunder, the agreements and obligations of a Seller Party contained in this Section 3.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 3.02 shall require the Buyer to make available any of their tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(f)        The Buyer shall (A) promptly notify the Seller of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) cooperate, in its reasonable discretion and at the Seller’s expense, with the Seller to mitigate any requirement of Applicable Law of any jurisdiction in which a Seller Party may be required to withhold or deduct any taxes from amounts payable to the Buyer hereunder.

(g)        The parties hereto agree and acknowledge this intent that the transaction evidenced by this Agreement shall be treated, for U.S. federal income and relevant state and local or other tax purposes, as a loan from the Buyer to the Seller secured by the Repurchase Assets unless otherwise required by law.

(viii)    any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing;

provided that the Seller does not assign or pledge to the Buyer, or grant a security interest in any of the Seller’s right, title and interest, in, to or under the Seller’s rights to the Excluded Collateral.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 6.01     Representations and Warranties of Each Seller Party.  Each of the Seller and the Guarantor, as applicable, represents and warrants to the Buyer that throughout the term of this Agreement (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case, such representation or warranty shall have been true or correct as of such date):

(a)        Seller Party Existence. Each Seller Party has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

-14-

 

(b)        Licenses.  Each Seller Party is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified in each jurisdiction in which it transacts business for the business which it conducts and is not in default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take such action is not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect and is not in default of such state’s applicable laws, rules and regulations.  Each Seller Party has the requisite power and authority and legal right and necessary licenses to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and conditions of each Facility Document.  The Seller is an FHA Approved Mortgagee.

(c)        Power.  Each Seller Party has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)        Due Authorization.  Each Seller Party has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Facility Documents, as applicable.  Each Facility Document has been (or, in the case of Facility Documents not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Seller Party, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against each Seller Party in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.

(e)        Financial Statements. The financial statements of each Seller Party, copies of which have been furnished to the Buyer, (i) are, as of the dates and for the periods referred to therein, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the related Seller Party as of the dates and for the periods indicated and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, except as noted therein (subject as to interim statements to normal year-end adjustments). Since the date of the most recent financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of any Seller Party from that set forth in said financial statements nor is any Seller Party aware of any state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such material adverse change. Except as disclosed in such financial statements or pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, no Seller Party is subject to any liabilities direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans.

(f)        Event of Default.  There exists no Event of Default under Section 8.01(e) hereof, which default gives rise to a right to accelerate indebtedness as referenced in Section 8.01(e) hereof.

(g)        Solvency. Each Seller Party is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction hereunder and, after giving effect to each such Transaction, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business.  No Seller Party

The Seller is not pledging any Repurchase Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors. The Agreement and the Facility Documents, any other document contemplated hereby or thereby and each transaction have not been entered into fraudulently by any Seller Party hereunder, or with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor or the Buyer.

(h)        No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller Party of each Facility Document does not conflict with any term or provision of the organizational documents of the related Seller Party or result in the breach of any provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture, loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which a Seller Party, the Repurchase Assets or any of a Seller Party’s Property is or may be subject to, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree to which a Seller Party, the Repurchase Assets or a Seller Party’s Property is subject, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i)         True and Complete Disclosure.  All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates relating to any Seller Party that any Seller Party has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Buyer in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of any Seller Party and the negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Facility Documents are true and complete and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

(j)         Approvals.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to any Governmental Authority or court is required under applicable law in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Seller Party of each Facility Document except for (i) consents that have been obtained in connection with transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents, (ii) filings to perfect the security interest created by this Agreement, and (iii) authorizations, consents, approvals, filings, notices, or other actions the failure to make could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(k)        Litigation.  There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending with respect to which any Seller Party has received service of process or, to the best of any Seller Party’s knowledge threatened against it before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of any Facility Document, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any Facility Document, (C) making a claim against any Seller Party, individually or in the aggregate, in an amount greater than five percent (5%) of Seller’s Adjusted Tangible Net Worth, (D) which requires filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder, (E) which has resulted in the voluntary or involuntary suspension of a license, a cease and desist order, or such other action

In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Buyer in connection with any Repurchase Assets for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Repurchase Assets, the Seller will save, indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a

-35-

 

breach by the Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from the Seller. The Seller also agrees to reimburse the Buyer as and when billed by the Buyer for all the Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of the Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the fees and disbursements of its counsel. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligation of the Seller under each Transaction is a recourse obligation of the Seller. Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be liable to the Seller for any lost profits or indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Section 10.02  General Provisions.  If for any reason the indemnification provided above in Section 10.01 (and subject to the limitations on indemnification contained therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless on the basis of public policy, then the Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The provisions of this Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 11.13  Guaranty.

(a)        Subject to Section 11.13(h) below, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Buyer the prompt payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Any such payment shall be made at such place and in the same currency as such relevant Guaranteed Obligation is payable. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not solely of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

(b)        The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that this guaranty may be enforced by the Buyer without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed

-39-

 

Obligations or otherwise and the Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Buyer to proceed against any other Person or to require the Buyer to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Buyer from suing in any jurisdiction on this Agreement or any other Facility Document or foreclosing its security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under this Agreement or any instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the Guarantor’s obligations under this guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by reason of the application of the laws of any foreign jurisdiction. The Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance of by the Buyer upon this guaranty or acceptance of this guaranty. The Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty. All dealings between the Seller and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty.

(c)        The Guarantor agrees that (i) all or any part of the security which hereafter may be held for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (ii) the Buyer shall not have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests or Liens which hereafter may be held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (iii) the time or place of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed, increased or accelerated, in whole or in part; (iv) the Seller and any other party liable for payment under this Agreement may be granted indulgences generally; (v) any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Facility Document may be modified, amended or waived; and (vi) any deposit balance for the credit of the Seller or any other party liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

(d)        The Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) notice of acceptance of this guaranty by the Buyer and of all transfers of funds to the Seller by the Buyer; (ii) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (iv) notice of the Buyer obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any Lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Buyer’s subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such Liens, if any; (v) all other notices to which the Seller might otherwise be entitled in connection with the guaranty evidenced by this Section 11.13; and (vi) demand for payment under this guaranty.

-40-

 

(e)        The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 11.13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Buyer on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Buyer in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(f)        The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.02) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor.

(g)        The Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of this Agreement, it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.13(a), whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Seller or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h)        Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the obligations of the Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (as now or hereinafter in effect).

(i)         This guaranty is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(38)(A) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 11.14     Intent.

(a)        The parties agree and intend that this Agreement is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, that this Agreement and each Transaction is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.  The parties agree and acknowledge that the pledge of assets under this Agreement constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and the Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further

-41-

 

intend and acknowledge that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).

(b)        It is understood that, subject to the rights and interest of Fannie Mae, either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Sections 4.04, 8.02 and 11.12 hereof is a contractual right to accelerate, terminate, or liquidate this Agreement or such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)        The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in 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 under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).
