BASE SERVICING FEE PERCENTAGE
(per loan)

        With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Base Servicing Fee Percentage for that Mortgage Loan set forth in the Servicer's servicing records.

The following factors shall be taken into account in formulating the written protocol:

    1.
    For Correspondent Loans, the Base Servicing Fee shall range from 5 to 20 basis points per annum on the unpaid principal balance of such Correspondent Loans.

    2.
    For all Mortgage Loans other than Correspondent Loans, the Base Servicing Fee Percentages shall (i) be based on the risk characteristics of the Mortgage Loans in a particular pool, including the market value of the underlying properties, creditworthiness of the borrowers, seasoning of the Mortgage Loans, degree of current and expected mortgage loan defaults, current loan-to-value ratios, borrowers' payment history and debt-to-income levels, (ii) be consistent with the assumptions used by the PennyMac REIT Manager in determining the bid for the related portfolio of Mortgage Loans, (iii) be competitive with those charged by specialty mortgage loan servicers providing comparable services for comparable mortgage loans, and (iv) range from 30 to 100 basis points per annum on the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loans.
