It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 13 shall not (a) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Trust Estate or (b) save as specifically provided therein, constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Series 2018-GT1 Term Notes or secured by this Indenture Supplement. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 13 shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Series 2018-GT1 Term Notes or this Indenture Supplement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

Section 15. Credit Risk Retention.

While it is not clear that Section 15G of the 1934 Act, added pursuant to Section 941(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Regulation RR”), applies to the issuance of the Series 2018-GT1 Term Notes and that loanDepot will be deemed a securitizer for the purposes of Regulation RR, loanDepot will maintain a subordinated seller’s interest in the Issuer (in the form of the Owner Trust Certificate) that equals not less than 5% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of any Outstanding Notes (other than Notes held to maturity by loanDepot or its wholly-owned affiliates), calculated in accordance with Regulation RR.

The seller’s interest expected to be retained by loanDepot in connection with Regulation RR (to the extent applicable), will equal approximately 30% (as calculated in accordance with Regulation RR), as of the Issuance Date. As the Series 2017-VF1 Notes have not been issued and are held by loanDepot and financed by CSFB, the Note Balance of the Series 2017-VF1 Notes is not included in the denominator of the calculation that produced the percentage described above in accordance with Regulation RR. If the Note Balance of the Series 2017-VF1 Notes were included in the denominator, the resulting percentage of the seller’s interest would be lower but still in excess of the required 5%.

Section 16. No Note Rating Agency.

As of the date hereof and prior to the execution of this Indenture Supplement, the Series 2018-GT1 Term Notes are not rated by any Note Rating Agency.
