PART III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO

UNDERLYING REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS

 

The Sellers make the following representations and warranties to the Buyer, with respect to the Underlying POP Repurchase Transactions, that as of the Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction, and as of the date of this Agreement and any Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction is outstanding and at all times while the Repurchase Agreements and any Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction is in full force and effect.  For purposes of this Schedule 1 and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to the Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction if and when the Sellers have taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction.

(a)Validity of Underlying POP Repurchase Documents. The Underlying POP Repurchase Documents and any other agreement executed and delivered by POP or guarantor thereto, as applicable, in connection with an Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws or by general principles of equity.  Sellers and POP had legal capacity to enter into the Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction and POP had the legal capacity to execute and deliver the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents and any such agreement, and the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents and any such other related agreement to which Sellers or POP are parties have been duly and properly executed by Sellers and POP, as applicable.  The Underlying POP Repurchase Documents to which POP is a party constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of POP.  The Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction and the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents are in full force and effect, and the enforceability of the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents has not been contested by POP.

(b)Original Terms Unmodified.  Except to the extent approved in writing by the Buyer, the terms of the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents have not been impaired, altered or modified in any respect.

(c)No Defenses.  The Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense nor will the operation of any of the terms of any Underlying POP Repurchase Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render any Underlying POP Repurchase Document unenforceable in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

(d)No Bankruptcy.  Neither POP nor PennyMac Corp. is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.  Neither POP nor PennyMac Corp. has threatened and, to Sellers’ knowledge, neither POP nor PennyMac Corp is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of such entity’s assets or any of the Mortgage Loans.

(e)Compliance with Applicable Laws; Consents.  Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, consumer credit protection, or disclosure laws applicable to the Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction have been complied with in all material respects,

Amendment Number Nine to Master Repurchase Agreement

 

 

 


the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the applicable Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for the inspection by the Buyer, and shall deliver to the Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.  All consents of and all filings with any federal or state Governmental Authority necessary in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.

(f)No Waiver.  Except to the extent approved in writing by the Buyer, no Seller has waived the performance by POP nor PennyMac Corp. of any action, if POP’s or PennyMac Corp.’s failure to perform such action would cause the Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction to be in default in any material respect nor, except to the extent approved in writing by the Buyer, has any Seller waived any such default resulting from any action or inaction by POP or PennyMac Corp.

(g)No Defaults.  Except to the extent approved in writing by the Buyer, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and no Seller nor its predecessors in interest have waived any such default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

(h)Delivery of Underlying POP Repurchase Documents.  True and correct copies of the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents have been delivered to the Buyer.

(i)Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction Not Assigned.  No Underlying POP Repurchase Transaction Document is assigned to any third party.  The Underlying POP Repurchase Documents permit Sellers to sell, assign, pledge, transfer or rehypothecate the Mortgage Loans and all other collateral purchased by Sellers pursuant to the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents.

(j)Solvency.  The transfer of the Mortgage Loans subject to the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of PennyMac Corp.’s creditors.  PennyMac Corp. is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) and the transfer and pledge of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents (i) will not cause PennyMac Corp. to become insolvent, (ii) will not result in any property remaining with PennyMac Corp. to be unreasonably small capital, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be beyond PennyMac Corp.’s ability to pay as same mature.  PennyMac Corp. receives reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer and pledge of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Underlying POP Repurchase Documents.

(k)Ownership.  The applicable Seller is the sole owner and holder of the underlying Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loans have not been assigned or pledged by the applicable Seller other than pursuant to this Agreement.  The applicable Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign the Mortgage Loans to the Buyers free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and following the transfer and pledge of the Mortgage Loans, the Buyers will hold such Mortgage Loans free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

(l)Financial Information.  Based upon POP’s and PennyMac Corp.'s representations and warranties, all financial data, including, without limitation the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Sellers (i) are true, complete, and correct in all material
