Outlook, Risks, and Commentary
The filing indicates that other terms of the Warehouse Credit Facility remain substantially similar to those in effect prior to the amendments. The Company will continue to owe unused facility and other fees. The advance rate for securitized notes will vary based on the characteristics of the receivables. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, continues to serve as the trustee and back-up servicer. The filing notes that financial institutions providing funding may also perform other commercial and investment banking services for the Company for which they receive customary fees.
