TERM; MSR RECAPTURE

Section 3.01 Term of Agreement; Rights to Terminate. This Agreement shall have an initial term of five years from the date hereof (the “Initial Term”). After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall be deemed renewed automatically every 18 months for an additional 18 month period (an “Automatic Renewal Term”) unless the MSR Owner or the Servicer terminates this Agreement upon the expiration of the Initial Term or any Automatic Renewal Term and upon at least 180 days’ prior written notice to the MSR Owner or the Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Amended and Restated Mortgage Banking Services Agreement, between the Servicer and the MSR Owner, dated as of June 30, 2020 (the “MBS Agreement”), is terminated by the MSR Owner without cause as provided in such agreement, (ii) the Servicing Agreement is terminated by PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. without cause as provided in such agreement or (iii) the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement, among PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. and PNMAC Capital Management, LLC, dated as of June 30, 2020 (the “Management Agreement”), is terminated by PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust without cause as provided in such agreement, the Servicer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without cause upon notice to the MSR Owner. In addition, if (i) either of the MBS Agreement or the Servicing Agreement is terminated by PennyMac Loan Services without cause as provided in each such agreement or (ii) the Management Agreement is terminated by PNMAC Capital Management, LLC without cause as provided in such agreement, the MSR Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without cause upon notice to the Servicer. Further, if PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. exercises its right to terminate the Servicing Agreement without cause under Section 8.01(a)(iii) thereof with respect to one or more Mortgage Loans, then such loans shall be deemed to be removed from the Portfolio upon such termination and this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to the remaining loans in the Portfolio until scheduled expiration or early termination with respect to such remaining loans pursuant to this Section 3.01. Following any such termination of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not take any action with respect to the refinancing of any loans in the Portfolio (or, if termination occurs with respect to some such loans and not others pursuant to this Section 3.01, the loans that are deemed to be removed from the Portfolio as described in the preceding sentence); provided, however, that such restrictions shall not prohibit the Servicer from generalized advertising not targeted exclusively to the borrowers under such mortgage loans, including on its website, monthly account statements, or VRU (voice response unit), mortgage leads purchased from third parties, recorded communications, or otherwise engaging in a program directed to the general public at large to encourage or recommend mortgage loan products and other products and services provided by the Servicer or its affiliates, or from taking applications for refinance from such borrowers as a result thereof.

Section 3.02 MSR Recapture.

(a) The Servicer acknowledges that the Mortgage Loans described in the Acknowledgment Letter constitute the initial Portfolio.

(b) On each date when the MSR Owner acquires the Servicing Rights with respect to any Correspondent Loan and appoints the Servicer as servicer therefor under the Servicing Agreement, such Correspondent Loan shall be added to the Portfolio.

(c) The MSR Owner hereby waives any right it has to contractually prohibit the Servicer from soliciting the Mortgage Loans in the Portfolio. In consideration for such waiver and for other value received, if, during any calendar month, the Servicer or its Affiliates originate new residential mortgage loans the proceeds of which are used to refinance a Mortgage Loan in the Portfolio (such new mortgage loan, a “New Mortgage Loan”), the Servicer shall wire to the MSR Owner cash in an amount equal to the Recapture Payment. Such Recapture Payment shall be made within five (5) calendar days of the Mortgage Loan Identification Date related to such month. Further, the Servicer covenants and agrees to allocate resources to achieve a Recapture Rate of at least 15% and report, from time to time and no less than quarterly, on monthly Recapture Rates and any other relevant metrics or other activities involving such allocated resources that support this covenant.

(d) Not later than the Mortgage Loan Identification Date related to each month in which the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof has originated New Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall prepare and maintain a schedule (or schedules), available upon the MSR Owner’s request, (i) identifying, in order of origination date, each New Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Loan in the Portfolio that was refinanced using proceeds of such New Mortgage Loan, and (ii) setting forth the Servicer’s calculations of the fair market value of the Servicing Rights relating to such New Mortgage Loans.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the written request (a “Fee Negotiation Request”) of the MSR Owner or the Servicer following a determination by the MSR Owner or the Servicer that the Recapture Payments payable to the MSR Owner hereunder differ materially from market rates of compensation for agreements comparable to this Agreement, which request includes a proposal for revised rates of compensation hereunder, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to amend the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Recapture Payments in order to cause such compensation to be materially consistent with market rates of compensation for agreements comparable to this Agreement (a “Fee Amendment”); provided, however, that no such request shall be made until eighteen (18) months after the effective date of this Agreement, after which time each such party may make such request (i) once with respect to compensation to be paid during the remainder of the Initial Term, which request shall be made prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, and (ii) once with respect to compensation to be paid during any Automatic Renewal Term, which request shall be made at least 210 days prior to the start of such Automatic Renewal Term. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms of a Fee Amendment within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of the relevant Fee Negotiation Request, then the terms of such Fee Amendment shall be determined by final and binding arbitration in accordance with Section 3.02(f).

(f) All disputes, differences and controversies of the MSR Owner or the Servicer relating to a Fee Amendment (individually, a “Dispute” and, collectively, “Disputes”) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, subject to the following provisions:

(i) Following the delivery of a written demand for arbitration by either the MSR Owner or the Servicer, each party shall choose one (1) arbitrator within ten (10) business days after the date of such written demand and the two chosen arbitrators shall mutually, within ten (10) business days after selection select a third (3rd) arbitrator (each, an “Arbitrator” and together, the “Arbitrators”), each of whom shall be a retired judge selected from a roster of arbitrators provided by the AAA. If the third (3rd) Arbitrator is not selected within fifteen (15) business days after delivery of the written demand for arbitration (or such other time period as the MSR Owner and the Servicer may agree), the MSR Owner and the Servicer shall promptly request that the commercial panel of the AAA select an independent Arbitrator meeting such criteria.

(ii) The rules of arbitration shall be the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules to the contrary, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the MSR Owner and the Servicer, the sole discovery available to each party shall be its right to conduct up to two (2) non-expert depositions of no more than three (3) hours of testimony each.

(iii) The Arbitrators shall render a decision by majority decision within three (3) months after the date of appointment, unless the MSR Owner and the Servicer agree to extend such time. The decision shall be final and binding upon the MSR Owner and the Servicer; provided, however, that such decision shall not restrict either the MSR Owner or the Servicer from terminating this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.

(iv) Each party shall pay its own expenses in connection with the resolution of Disputes, including attorneys’ fees, unless determined otherwise by the Arbitrator.

(v) The MSR Owner and the Servicer agree that the existence, conduct and content of any arbitration pursuant to this Section 3.02(f) shall be kept confidential and neither the MSR Owner nor the Servicer shall disclose to any Person any information about such arbitration, except in connection with such arbitration or as may be required by law or by any regulatory authority (or any exchange on which such party’s securities are listed) or for financial reporting purposes in such party’s financial statements.
