Warehouse Provider understands and agrees that the Purchase Price paid with respect to a particular eMortgage may be reduced due to adjustments or setoffs relating to another mortgage loan(s) pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement between PennyMac and Seller.  However, in no event shall such adjustments or setoffs exceed the following:  (1) for routine adjustments, fees, charges and reconciliation items (including but not limited to escrow balance funding) owed to PennyMac in connection with the specific eMortgage against which the adjustment or setoff is occurring, the actual amount of the adjustments, fees, charges and reconciliation items related to that particular eMortgage, and (2) for setoff of other receivables amounts owed to PennyMac in connection with mortgage loans previously purchased from Seller by PennyMac, an amount not to exceed the total of servicing release premium and over-par pricing due Seller on a mortgage loan(s).

“Security Instrument” shall mean the mortgage or deed of trust securing an eMortgage evidenced by a particular eNote, and may be in paper or electronic form.

“UETA” shall mean the Official Text of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as approved by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws at its Annual Conference on July 29, 1999.

Terms in Italics used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the MERS® eRegistry Procedures Manual.

2.2Transfer of Control from MERS Org ID; Instructions for Payment of Purchase Price.  Seller shall submit a release request to Warehouse Provider to release one or more eNotes to PennyMac and simultaneously notify PennyMac of the submission of such release request.  PennyMac shall deliver to Custodian a schedule of one or more eNotes that will be subject to a Loan Purchase agreed upon by Seller. Following receipt of the Seller’s release request, Warehouse Provider, as Seller’s designee, shall deliver a copy of the eNotes to be subject to such Loan Purchase from Warehouse Provider’s eVault to PennyMac’s eVault provided by Custodian using MERS® eDelivery.  The Warehouse Provider shall submit a Transfer Initiation Request (Transfer All), including a copy of the eNote and, if applicable, any Agency-required Addendum to the eNote, to PennyMac through MERS® eDelivery, to transfer Control to PennyMac Corp. (MERS® Org ID: 1009313), Location to Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (MERS® Org ID: 1000648), and Servicing Agent to PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (MERS® Org ID: 1007159).  The Transfer Request must include a Transfer Effective Date of the same day as the request.  The parties agree that each delivery of an eNote and the transfer of Control of such eNote to PennyMac and Location to Custodian in such manner from MERS Org ID [WP’s Org ID] shall be deemed to be accompanied by a copy of the Master Bailee Letter executed and delivered by Warehouse Provider pursuant to Section 2.1(b), which instructs PennyMac, or its warehouse lender, to pay the Purchase Price for the related eMortgage by wire transfer to the following account (“Wiring Instructions”):

 

[Warehouse Provider]

City:  [  ]

 

Bank:  [  ]

ABA #: [  ]

For the Account of [  ]

Account #: [  ]

For Further Credit To: [  ]

 

PennyMac shall not be liable to Warehouse Provider for any additional expenses incurred by Warehouse Provider because of payments lost or delayed due to incorrect Wiring Instructions provided by Warehouse Provider.  With respect to any eMortgage as to which PennyMac has received a notification of a security interest held by Warehouse Provider, PennyMac shall only send payments to Warehouse Provider, as specified herein.  With respect to any eMortgage in which Seller has a security interest (and provided that PennyMac has received notice of such security interest), no change in the Wiring Instructions shall be honored by PennyMac unless made pursuant to Section 2.4.

2.3 Submitting Wiring Instructions.  Prior to submitting a Transfer Initiation Request (Transfer All) under Section 2.2, Seller will include a copy of wiring instructions for each loan as part of the upload of the Credit Package to PennyMac as specified in the PennyMac Delegated Seller Guide, as amended from time to time.

2.4Change in Wiring Instructions.  Warehouse Provider, Seller and PennyMac agree that any change to the Wiring Instructions must be accomplished by Warehouse Provider executing and delivering to PennyMac and Custodian, a new Master Bailee Letter in accordance with the notice provisions in Section 5.13 of this Agreement.

Exh. N-4

 

3.Control Transfer; Custodial Designation.

3.1Transfer and Inspection.  Seller originates eMortgages in a manner that establishes Seller as being in Control of each related eNote at eMortgage settlement.  In order to facilitate PennyMac’s purchase of an eMortgage in a Loan Purchase, Seller shall transfer (or shall cause Warehouse Provider, acting as Seller’s designee, to transfer, on Seller’s behalf) Control of the related eNote to PennyMac and Location of the related eNote to Custodian as more specifically described in Section 2.2.   

3.2Custodial Arrangement.  When PennyMac accepts a transfer of Control and Custodian accepts a transfer of Location of an eNote relating to an eMortgage on the MERS eRegistry from Seller (or from Warehouse Provider, acting as Seller’s designee) prior to PennyMac, or its warehouse lender, paying the Purchase Price for the related eMortgage, then until such time as either PennyMac, or its warehouse lender, pays the Purchase Price for the related eMortgage or Custodian on behalf of PennyMac returns the eMortgage to Seller or Warehouse Provider as set forth in Section 3.3(b) and if and so long as Warehouse Provider complies with all provisions of this Agreement, (a) PennyMac shall Control such eNote on the MERS eRegistry as designated custodian for Warehouse Provider, as secured party and Seller’s designee, on the MERS eRegistry, and (b) the Location of the Authoritative Copy of the eNote on the MERS eRegistry shall reflect Custodian’s MERS Org ID.  Further, while PennyMac Controls an eNote and has not paid the Purchase Price for the related eMortgage, PennyMac agrees that it shall not direct Custodian to, and neither PennyMac nor Custodian shall, transfer Control or any rights in such eNote to any third party.  If, prior to PennyMac’s, or its warehouse lender’s, payment of the Purchase Price for an eMortgage, PennyMac receives written notice from Warehouse Provider that (i) Seller has defaulted on its obligations to Warehouse Provider related to the eMortgage or on its other obligations to Warehouse Provider related to its warehouse facility with Warehouse Provider and (ii) Warehouse Provider has exercised its right to acquire the related Collateral, then PennyMac shall instruct Custodian to transfer Control and Location of the related eNote to Warehouse Provider, acting as Seller’s designee, as set forth in Section 3.3(b).  If PennyMac has not purchased an eMortgage within thirty (30) days after delivery of the eNote to PennyMac’s eVault provided by Custodian or receives written notice from Warehouse Provider requesting return of an eNote prior to PennyMac’s, or its warehouse lender’s, payment of the Purchase Price for an eMortgage, PennyMac shall instruct Custodian to transfer Control and Location of the related eNote to Warehouse Provider, acting as Seller’s designee, as set forth in Section 3.3(b).

3.3(a)  Effect of Payment of Purchase Price.  Upon PennyMac’s, or its warehouse lender’s, payment of the Purchase Price for an eMortgage to the Wiring Instructions, (i) each of Warehouse Provider and Seller shall and does immediately and unconditionally release all its right, title, and interest in and to the related eMortgage without further action by any party, (ii) PennyMac shall and does cease to Control the related eNote as designated custodian for Warehouse Provider, as secured party and Seller’s designee, (iii) PennyMac shall and does immediately Control the eNote as the purchaser of the related eMortgage, (iv) following written notice to Custodian of payment of the Purchase Price for an eMortgage to the Wiring Instructions, Custodian shall and does immediately maintain the Authoritative Copy of the eNote as designated custodian for PennyMac as the purchaser of the eMortgage pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and shall follow the instructions of PennyMac related to such eNote as set forth therein, and (vi) PennyMac and Custodian shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to such eNote.

Exh. N-5

 

3.3(b)  Return of eMortgage Prior to Payment of Purchase Price.  In the event either (i) an eMortgage needs to be transferred to Seller (or Warehouse Provider, acting as Seller’s designee) prior to PennyMac’s, or its warehouse lender’s, payment of the Purchase Price as a result of notice being given by Warehouse Provider pursuant to Section 3.2 above, or (ii) PennyMac decides not to purchase an eMortgage after delivery and inspection for any reason (including but not limited to a reasonable belief that an entity other than Warehouse Provider or Seller claims to have any right, title or interest in the subject eMortgage), then: (A) PennyMac shall instruct Custodian to cause the MERS eRegistry to reflect the transfer of Control and Location of the eNote for said eMortgage to Seller (or to Warehouse Provider, acting as Seller’s designee) as identified by the same MERS Org ID used when Seller (or Warehouse Provider, acting as Seller’s designee) transferred Control and Location of such eNote to PennyMac and Custodian, respectively, as described in Section 3.1, and (B) upon acceptance of such transfers by Seller (or Warehouse Provider acting as Seller’s designee), (1) PennyMac shall and does cease to Control the related eNote as designated custodian for Warehouse Provider, as secured party and Seller’s designee, (2) Custodian shall and does cease to maintain the Authoritative Copy of such eNote, and (3) Seller (or Warehouse Provider, acting as Seller’s designee) shall and does immediately Control the eNote and maintain the Authoritative Copy of the eNote.  Such transfer of Control and Location shall be a release by PennyMac of any right, title, or interest in the applicable eMortgage, and shall release PennyMac from any and all obligations relating to its Control and Custodian from any and all obligations relating to its  maintaining the Authoritative Copy of such eNote that may arise pursuant to this Agreement or applicable law. 

3.4Receipt of Documentation.  Except as provided under the terms of this Agreement, PennyMac and Custodian neither accept nor recognize any unilateral statement of terms governing its receipt and possession of any document relating to eMortgages (or its Control of any eNote) that Seller or Warehouse Provider may deliver (or transfer), such as any bailee letter or trust receipt.  

3.5Correction of Defects.  If, in its review of eMortgage documents, PennyMac determines that any such document has a defect that must be corrected prior to PennyMac’s acquisition of the related eMortgage, PennyMac will instruct Custodian to deliver such document (including, as applicable, returning Control and Location of a defective eNote) to Seller in order that Seller may cure such defect.  

4.Representations and Warranties; Indemnification.

4.1By Seller.  In addition to all representations and warranties as contained in the PennyMac Delegated Seller Guide, with respect to each eMortgage to be purchased by PennyMac in a Loan Purchase subject to this Agreement, Seller represents and warrants to PennyMac that:  (a)  Warehouse Provider is the only entity (other than Seller) that has any right, title or interest in or to such eMortgage, and (b) any and all right, title or interest Seller or Warehouse Provider may have in or to such eMortgage shall be relinquished as of the point in time at which PennyMac, or its warehouse lender, pays the Purchase Price for such eMortgage in accordance with this Agreement.

Exh. N-6

 

4.2By Warehouse Provider.  With respect to each eMortgage to be purchased by PennyMac in a Loan Purchase subject to this Agreement, Warehouse Provider represents and warrants to PennyMac that: (a) to the best of its knowledge, Warehouse Provider is the only entity (other than Seller) that has any right, title or interest in or to such eMortgage, except for (i) any liens or security interests granted by Warehouse Provider to any governmental agency (such as any federal reserve bank) or government-sponsored enterprise (such as any federal home loan bank) in the ordinary course of Warehouse Provider's banking business, which liens and security interests do not prohibit the sale of the eMortgage hereunder and which liens and security interests will no longer encumber the eMortgage at the point in time at which PennyMac, or its warehouse lender, pays the Purchase Price for such eMortgage in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) any undivided percentage participation interests sold by Warehouse Provider to other third-parties in and to Warehouse Provider's participation interest in such eMortgage, which undivided percentage participation interest shall be fully extinguished at the point in time at which PennyMac, or its warehouse lender, pays the Purchase Price for such eMortgage in accordance with this Agreement; and (b) all right, title or interest Warehouse Provider may have in or to such eMortgage will be relinquished as of the point in time at which PennyMac, or its warehouse lender, pays the Purchase Price for such eMortgage in accordance with this Agreement.

4.3By the Parties.  Each of Warehouse Provider, Seller and PennyMac (each, individually, referred to herein as a “party” and, collectively, the “parties”) represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that, as to itself only, this Agreement is its legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation and does not conflict with any other agreement to which such party is bound.  Each party represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that, as to itself only, its execution, delivery and consummation of this Agreement has either been (a) specifically authorized by its board of directors and such authorization is reflected in the minutes of such board of directors, or (b) approved by an authorized representative who was duly authorized by its board of directors to execute, deliver and consummate agreements such as this Agreement.  

4.4Indemnification.  In addition to all indemnification provisions as contained in the PennyMac Delegated Seller Guide, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend (including at PennyMac’s option, paying attorney’s fees for PennyMac’s counsel of choice) and hold harmless PennyMac against all losses, claims, lawsuits, actions, damages, judgments, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees incurred by PennyMac) arising or resulting from any act or omission of PennyMac (except those arising or resulting from PennyMac’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) or Seller made in connection with the terms of this Agreement.

5.Miscellaneous

5.1Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by Seller, Warehouse Provider, or PennyMac by written notice delivered to the other parties.  Such notice may specify an effective date for such termination, but in no event shall the termination be effective less than six (6) business days after such notice is sent in accordance with this Agreement, provided that the terms and conditions of Section 4.4 and prior releases by Warehouse Provider shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  Such termination shall not be effective with respect to any Loan Purchase with respect to which Control and Location of the related eNote were transferred to PennyMac prior to each notified party’s receipt of such termination notice, unless all parties agree otherwise in writing.  

Exh. N-7

 

5.2. General Interpretive Principles.

5.3Reliance.

Each right, power, and remedy of the parties hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, in other written agreements among the parties, or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any one or more of them shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such party of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.  Any party’s failure or delay to insist upon the strict performance of any one or more provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right, power, or remedy upon a breach thereof or default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof, or preclude such party from exercising any such right, power, or remedy any other time or times.
