PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT 

AWARD AGREEMENT 
 THIS
PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of             , 2016 (the “Grant Date”), is made by and between PennyMac Mortgage
Investment Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Trust”), and             (the “Grantee”). 

WHEREAS, the Trust has adopted the PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to
which the Trust may grant awards representing the right to receive Shares or cash after the lapse of such forfeiture restrictions and the satisfaction of such performance goals as may be determined by the Board (such rights hereinafter referred to
as “Performance Share Units”); 
 WHEREAS, the Grantee is providing bona fide services to the Trust on the date of this
Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, the Trust desires to grant to the Grantee the number of Performance Share Units provided for herein; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and mutual agreement herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

Section 1. Grant of Performance Share Unit Award  

(a) Grant of Performance Share Units. The Trust hereby grants to the Grantee
            Performance Share Units (or such greater or lesser amount as may result based on the application of the performance vesting provisions in Appendix A) on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise provided in the Plan. The Trust shall establish a book account in the Grantee’s name with respect to the Award granted hereby. 

(b) Incorporation of Plan. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set
forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with all provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Board shall have final authority to
interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations under them, and its decisions shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantee and his legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan
or this Agreement. 
 Section 2. Terms and Conditions of Award 

The grant of Performance Share Units provided in Section 1(a) shall be subject to the following terms, conditions and restrictions: 

  
 1 

 (a) Restrictions. The Performance Share Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution prior to the lapse of restrictions set forth in this Agreement applicable thereto, as set forth in Section 2(b). The Board may in its
discretion, cancel all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions prior to the expiration of the periods provided under Section 2(b). The period from the date of grant of a Performance Share Unit to the date it becomes vested and payable
shall be referred to herein as the “Restricted Period.” 
 (b) Lapse of Restriction. Except as may otherwise be
provided herein, the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2(a) shall lapse with respect to up to thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the Performance Share Units granted hereunder (as set forth on Appendix A attached hereto)
on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date, to the extent that the Trust has satisfied the relevant performance goals, and provided that the Grantee is providing services to the Trust or an Affiliate as of the relevant date. 

(c) Form of Payment. Each Performance Share Unit granted hereunder shall represent the right to receive one Share upon the date on which
the restrictions applicable to such Performance Share Unit lapse. 
 (d) Distribution Equivalents. The Performance Share Units held by
the Grantee on a distribution payment date will not be credited with distribution equivalents at such time as distributions, whether in the form of cash, Shares or other property, are paid with respect to the Shares. However, if the performance
goals set forth on Appendix A cease to apply to the vesting of any of the Performance Share Units as provided in clause (ii) of the last sentence of Section 2(g), below, then, from and after such cessation, any such Performance Share Units
held by the Grantee on a distribution payment date will be credited with distribution equivalents at such time as distributions, whether in the form of cash, Shares or other property, are paid with respect to the Shares. Any such distribution
equivalents shall be paid on the distribution payment date to the Grantee as though such Performance Share Units were outstanding Shares. 

(e) Issuance of Certificate. Upon any lapse of restrictions relating to the Performance Share Units, the Trust shall issue to the
Grantee or the Grantee’s personal representative a share certificate representing such Shares. 
 (f) Termination of Service. In
the event that the Grantee’s service with the Trust and its Affiliates is terminated prior to the lapsing of restrictions with respect to any portion of the Performance Share Unit Award granted hereunder, such portion of the Award held by the
Grantee shall become free of such restrictions or be forfeited as follows: 
 (i) If such termination of service is (1) because of the
Grantee’s death or Permanent disability or (2) due to a termination of the Grantee’s services by the Trust or one of its Affiliates (other than for Cause), any Performance Share Units granted hereunder which have not become free of
transfer restrictions shall as of the date of such termination of service become fully vested and free of such transfer restrictions; and 

(ii) If such termination of service is for any reason (including without limitation a voluntary termination of service by the Grantee) other
than as provided in clause (i) above, and Performance Share Units granted hereunder which have not become free of transfer restrictions shall as of the date of such termination of service be immediately forfeited. 

  
 2 

 Performance Share Units forfeited pursuant to this Agreement shall be transferred to, and
reacquired by, the Trust without payment of any consideration by the Trust, and neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall thereafter have any further rights or interests in such
Performance Share Units. 
 (g) Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 8(b) of the Plan, the Performance Share Unit Award
granted hereunder shall not become free of restrictions solely upon the occurrence of a Change in Control; however, if the Grantee’s service is terminated by the Trust and its Affiliates for any reason (other than for Cause) as a result of or
in connection with such Change in Control, then any Performance Share Units granted hereunder which have not become free of transfer restrictions shall as of the date of such termination of service become fully vested and free of such transfer
restrictions. In addition, if the Shares cease to be readily tradable on an established securities market or exchange as a result of or in connection with such Change in Control, then any Performance Share Units granted hereunder which have not
become free of transfer restrictions shall as of the date of such Change in Control become fully vested and free of such transfer restrictions. If the Shares will continue to be readily tradable on an established securities market or exchange
following a Change in Control, and if a pro rata portion of any of the performance goals set forth on Appendix A have been satisfied with respect to any of the outstanding Performance Share Units granted hereunder as of the effective date of such
Change in Control, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, then a corresponding pro rata portion of such Performance Share Units shall become free of restrictions as of such Change in Control. With respect to all other Performance Share
Units outstanding following such Change in Control, (i) if the Board, in its sole discretion, can determine comparable new performance goals based upon the business of the acquiring or surviving entity, then Appendix A shall thereupon be
revised to incorporate such new performance goals, and (ii) if the Board, in its sole discretion, cannot determine comparable new performance goals, then Appendix A shall thereupon no longer be applicable, and the restrictions on transfer set
forth in Section 2(a) shall thereafter lapse with respect to such Performance Share Units, which shall become fully vested and free of such transfer restrictions based solely upon the Grantee continuing to provide services to the Trust or an
Affiliate. 
 (h) Income Taxes. The Grantee shall pay to the Trust promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Grantee
recognizes taxable income in respect of the Performance Share Units, an amount equal to the taxes the Trust determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to the Performance Share Units. Such payment shall be made in
the form of cash, Shares already owned by the Grantee, Shares otherwise then currently issuable under this Agreement, or in a combination of such methods. 

Section 3. Miscellaneous  

(a) Notices. Any and all notices, designations, consents, offers, Acceptances and any other communications provided for herein shall be
given in writing and shall be delivered either personally or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, which shall be addressed in the case of the Trust to the Secretary of the Trust at the principal office of the Trust and, in the case of
the Grantee, to the Grantee’s address appearing on the books of the Trust or to the Grantee’s residence or to such other address as may be designated in writing by the Grantee. 

  
 3 

 (b) No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall confer
Upon the Grantee any right to continue in the service of the Trust or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Trust or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Trust, which is hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or
discharge the Grantee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause. 
 (c) Bound by Plan. By signing this Agreement,
the Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and has had an opportunity to review the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan. 

(d) Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Trust, its successors and assigns, and
of the Grantee and the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Grantee. 
 (e) Invalid Provisions. The
invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision hereof shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had been omitted. 

(f) Modifications. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the parties hereto. 
 (g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. 

(h) Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the Grantee hereunder shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws
of the State of Maryland without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. 
 (i) Headings. The headings of the
Sections hereof are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretations or construction, and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement. 

(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 Appendix A 

Performance Goals 
 1. On each of the first three
anniversaries of the Grant Date (each, a “Vesting Date”), Return on Equity (“ROE”) will be determined for the fiscal year of the Company that ended immediately before such Vesting Date (i.e., the fiscal year ending in 2016, 2017
or 2018, as applicable). ROE is expressed as a percentage and is calculated by dividing net income by average total shareholders’ equity. Average total shareholders’ equity is determined by calculating the sum of shareholders’ equity
as of the beginning of the year and as of the end of each month during the year, and dividing by thirteen. 
 2. If ROE for a fiscal year is less than 8.0%,
no portion of the Performance Share Units granted hereunder will become vested on such Vesting Date. 
 3. If ROE for a fiscal year is 8.0%, 50% of the
Performance Share Units granted hereunder that are eligible to become vested on such Vesting Date will become vested. 
 4. If ROE for a fiscal year is
10.0%, 100% of the Performance Share Units granted hereunder that are eligible to become vested on such Vesting Date will become vested. 
 5. If ROE for a
fiscal year is 12.0% or more, a number of Performance Share Units equal to 150% of the Performance Share Units granted hereunder that are eligible to become vested on such Vesting Date will become vested, as if such number of Performance Share Units
had been granted initially hereunder. 
 6. The formula will be applied on a sliding scale between the 50% and 150% payout levels. 

7. For purposes of the foregoing, each fiscal year of the Company shall stand on its own and there shall be no catch up or claw-back based on subsequent
year’s performance/results.

EXECUTION 
 AMENDMENT NO.
11 
 TO MORTGAGE LOAN PARTICIPATION PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT 

Amendment No. 11 to Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase And Sale Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2016 (this
“Amendment”), by and among Bank of America, N.A. (“Purchaser”), PennyMac Corp. (“Seller”), PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust and PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (individually and collectively,
the “Guarantor”). 
 RECITALS 

Purchaser, Guarantor and Seller are parties to that certain Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase And Sale Agreement, dated as of
December 23, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing MLPSA”; and as further amended by this Amendment, the “MLPSA”). The Guarantor is a party to that
certain Guaranty (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), dated as of December 23, 2011, made by Guarantor in favor of Purchaser. 

Purchaser, Seller and Guarantor have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, that the Existing MLPSA be amended to
reflect certain agreed upon revisions to the terms of the Existing MLPSA. As a condition precedent to amending the Existing MLPSA, Purchaser has required Guarantor to ratify and affirm the Guaranty on the date hereof. 

Accordingly, Purchaser, Seller and Guarantor hereby agree, in consideration of the mutual promises and mutual obligations set forth herein,
that the Existing MLPSA is hereby amended as follows: 
 Section 1. Definitions. Section 1 of the Existing MLPSA is hereby
amended by: 
 1.1 deleting the definitions of “Discount Rate”, “Expiration Date”, “LIBOR”
and “Security Issuance Failure” in its entirety and replacing it with the following: 
 “Discount
Rate”: With respect to each Participation Certificate, a discount rate determined as of the related Purchase Date equal to (a) the greater of (i) LIBOR, and (ii) the LIBOR Floor, plus (b) the Applicable Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Discount Rate be less than zero. 
 “Expiration
Date”: The earlier of (i) March 28, 2017, (ii) at Purchaser’s option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and (iii) the date on which this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the provisions hereof
or by operation of law. 
 “LIBOR”: The daily rate per annum (rounded to four (4) decimal places) for
one-month U.S. dollar denominated deposits as offered to prime banks in the London interbank market, as published on the Official ICE LIBOR Fixings page by Bloomberg or in the Wall Street Journal as of the date of determination; provided, that if
Purchaser determines that any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or any circumstance materially and adversely 

 
affecting the London interbank market, shall make it unlawful, impractical or commercially unreasonable for Purchaser to purchase Participation Certificates as contemplated by this Agreement
using LIBOR, then Purchaser may select an alternative rate of interest or index in its discretion. 
 “Security
Issuance Failure”: The Failure of the Security (a) to be issued for any reason within the reasonable control of the Seller (as determined by Purchaser in its sole good faith discretion), including but not limited to Seller’s
failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Program Document or failure to perform in Strict Compliance with the related Agency Program, (b) to be issued for any reason outside of the reasonable control of the
Seller (as determined by Purchaser in its sole good faith discretion), including, but not limited to, third party systems failures, or (c) to be Delivered to Purchaser or its designee (such designee being properly notified it is holding such
Security for Purchaser); provided, that solely with respect to clauses (b) and (c) a Security Issuance Failure shall not have occurred to the extent (i) Seller has performed its obligations under this Agreement and each other Program
Document; (ii) Seller has performed in Strict Compliance with the related Agency Program; (iii) such failure to be issued or Delivered arises solely from the acts or omissions of a party other than the Seller (as determined by Purchaser in
its sole good faith discretion) and (iv) such failure is cured within one (1) Business Day of Seller’s notice or knowledge of such failure. 

1.2 adding the following definition in its proper alphabetical order: 

“LIBOR Floor”: 0%. 

Section 2. Events of Default. Section 6(g) of the Existing MLPSA is hereby amended by adding the following new subclause: 

(xxi) Seller has, without the express written consent of Purchaser, entered into any settlement with, or consented to the issuance of a consent
order by, any Governmental Authority in which the fines, penalties, settlement amounts or any other amounts owed by Seller thereunder exceeds $5,000,000 in the aggregate. 

Section 3. Fees and Expenses. Seller hereby agrees to pay to Purchaser, on demand, any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses
(including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Purchaser in connection with the development, preparation and execution of this Amendment, irrespective of whether any transactions hereunder are executed. 

Section 4. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof (the “Amendment Effective
Date”), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: 
 4.1 Delivered Documents. On the Amendment
Effective Date, the Purchaser shall have received this Amendment, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of Purchaser, Seller and Guarantor. 

  
 2 

 4.2 Facility Fee. Seller shall have paid to Purchaser in immediately available funds that
portion of the Facility Fee due and payable on the Amendment Effective Date. 
 Section 5. Limited Effect. Except as expressly
amended and modified by this Amendment, the Existing MLPSA shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. 

Section 6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by each of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, each
of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 Section 7.
Severability. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or
agreement. 
 SECTION 8. GOVERNING LAW. THE AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 

Section 9. Reaffirmation of Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby (i) agrees that the liability of Guarantor or rights of Purchaser
under the Guaranty shall not be affected as a result of this Amendment, (ii) ratifies and affirms all of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations of the Guaranty and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that such Guaranty is and shall
continue to be in full force and effect.
