2

number of Contribution Shares to be issued and delivered to such Contributor at the Effective Time shall correspondingly be reduced on a one-for-one basis based on the number of PNMAC Units so exchanged by such Contributor on and after the date hereof.

(c)Prior to the Effective Time, no Contributor shall transfer or otherwise dispose of any PNMAC Units unless the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such transfer or disposition complies with the provisions Current PNMAC LLC Agreement, the Exchange Agreement, the TRA and this Agreement and (ii) prior to such transfer or disposition, the transferee signed an agreement in form reasonably approved the Existing Parent, New Parent and PNMAC agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Contributor with respect to the PNMAC Units transferred to such transferee.  Upon compliance with the foregoing and the completion of the transfer, New Parent, Existing Parent and PNMAC shall update Exhibit A to this Agreement (and, if applicable, Schedule A to the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit I) to reflect such transfer, it being understood and agreed that such updates will not be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement.
