Section 1.Amendments to the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Indenture Supplement. The Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Indenture Supplement is amended as follows.

(a)Section 1(a) of the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Indenture Supplement is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Note No. 7 and the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Note No. 8, each dated as of June 27, 2023, are (1) hereby updated to reflect a new Maximum VFN Principal Balance, in accordance with the definition thereof and (2) supplemented by the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Note No. 9, to be dated as of the date hereof with an aggregate Maximum VFN Principal Balance of $2,000,000,000 and any Variable Funding Note issued after the date hereof pursuant to this Indenture Supplement to be known as “PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST MSR Collateralized Notes, Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes” (collectively, the “Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes”). The Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes will have the same Stated Maturity Date, Note Interest Rate and other terms as specified in this Indenture Supplement. The Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes are rated and are subordinate to the ADV Notes and shall be subordinated to any other MBS Advance VFN issued under the Base Indenture, but shall not be subordinated to any other Series of Notes. The Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes are issued in one (1) Class of Variable Funding Notes (Class A-SPIADVF1) with the Maximum VFN Principal Balance, Stated Maturity Date, Note Interest Rate and other terms as specified in this Indenture Supplement. The Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes are secured by the Trust Estate Granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Base Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall hold the Trust Estate as collateral security for the benefit of the Noteholders of the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes and all other Series of Notes issued under the Base Indenture as described therein.

(b)Section 2 of the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Indenture Supplement is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Administrative Agent,” “Margin” and “Maximum VFN Principal Balance” in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

“Administrative Agent” means, (A) for so long as the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes have not been paid in full: (i) with respect to the provisions of this Indenture Supplement, together, ASP, Goldman and Nomura, or an Affiliate or successor thereto; and (ii) with respect to the provisions of the Base Indenture, and notwithstanding the terms and provisions of any other Indenture Supplement, ASP, Goldman and Nomura, and such other parties as set forth in any other Indenture Supplement, or a respective Affiliate or any respective successor thereto; provided, however, that with respect to any action required of the Administrative Agent under this Indenture Supplement or the Indenture that would relate uniquely to a particular Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Note (including, but not limited to Sections 4.3(b)-(d) of the Base Indenture, which involve determining whether a funding request with respect to such Note is supported by an

Advance Verification Report, whether conditions precedent to funding have been satisfied, and whether to approve the requested funding amount), then such action or decision of the Administrative Agent of the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes shall be exercised exclusively by the Administrative Agent for the applicable impacted Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Note. For the avoidance of doubt, reference to “it” or “its” with respect to the Administrative Agent in the Base Indenture and this Indenture Supplement shall mean “them” and “their,” and reference to the singular therein in relation to the Administrative Agent shall be construed as if plural.

“Margin” means, (i) with respect to the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under any SPIADVF1 Repurchase Agreement), (A) [****]% per annum, or (B) upon the occurrence of an Additional Term Note Offering, the margin over the related swap rate in effect for the Term Notes subject to such Additional Term Note Offering plus [****]%, and (ii) with respect to the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under any SPIADVF1 Repurchase Agreement), the amount calculated pursuant to clause (i) plus an additional [****]% per annum.

“Maximum VFN Principal Balance” means, for (a) the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Notes in the aggregate, $2,000,000,000, (b) the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Note No. 7, $1,043,478,260.87 and (c) the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Note No. 8, $434,782,608.70 (d) for the Series 2020-SPIADVF1 Note No. 9, $521,739,130.43, or, in each case, (i) such other amount, calculated pursuant to a written agreement between the Administrator and the Administrative Agent or (ii) such other amount designated by the Administrator in accordance with the terms of the Base Indenture.

(c)All references to the defined terms “ADV1 Note,” “ADV1 Noteholder,” “MBSADV1 Indenture Supplement,” “Non-Funding ADV1 Noteholder,” and “Other MBSADV1 Noteholder” shall be replaced with “ADV Note,” “ADV Noteholder,” “MBSADV Indenture Supplement,” “Non-funding ADV Noteholder” and “Other MBSADV Noteholder” respectively.
