THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER FIFTEEN (this “Amendment”) is made as of the 28th
day of September, 2020, by and between Bank of America, N.A. (“Purchaser”) and loanDepot.com, LLC (“Seller”) to the Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of
July 17, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), between Purchaser and Seller. 

WHEREAS, Seller has requested and Purchaser agrees to amend the Agreement as more specifically set forth herein; and 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Seller represents to Purchaser that, after giving effect to this Amendment, it is in compliance with all of
the representations and warranties and all of the affirmative and negative covenants set forth in the Agreement and is not in default under the Agreement. 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and for the mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Amendment. Effective as of September 28, 2020, the
Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 
 (a) Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition
of “Effective Date” and “Expiration Date” in their entireties and replacing them with the following (modified text underlined for review purposes): 

“Effective Date”: September 28, 2020. 

“Expiration Date” The earliest of (i) September 27, 2021, (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. 

(b) Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby further amended by inserting the following new definitions in the appropriate
alphabetical order: 
 “SOFR”: With respect to any day means the secured overnight financing rate published for such day by
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website (or any successor source) and, in each case, that has been selected or recommended by
the relevant Governmental Authority. 
 “SOFR-Based Rate”: SOFR or Term SOFR. 

 












 “Term SOFR”: The forward-looking term rate for any period that is
approximately one (1) month in duration (as determined by Purchaser) and that is based on SOFR and that has been selected or recommended by the relevant Governmental Authority, in each case as published on an information service as selected by
Purchaser from time to time in its reasonable discretion. 
 (c) Section 17 of the Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following (modified text underlined for review purposes): 

Section 17. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement, the other Program Documents, and any document, amendment,
approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement and the other Program Documents (each a “Communication”) may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be
executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by Purchaser of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format),
or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Electronic Signatures and facsimile signatures shall be deemed valid and binding to the same extent as the original. For purposes
hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time. 

(d) Section 30 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following
(modified text underlined for review purposes): 
 Section 30. Alternative Rate. If prior to the related Purchase
Date, Purchaser determines in its sole discretion that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining One-Month LIBOR, including, without limitation, because One-Month LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; (ii) the administrator of One-Month LIBOR or
a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Purchaser has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which One-Month LIBOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining
the interest rate of loans, provided, that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to Purchaser, that will continue to provide One-Month LIBOR after such
specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or (iii) mortgage loan financing facilities similar to this facility, currently being executed, or that include language similar to that
contained in this Section 30, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace One-Month LIBOR, Purchaser shall give prompt notice thereof to
Seller, whereupon the Discount Pricing Rate from the date specified in such notice, which may be the Scheduled Unavailability Date, for such period, and for all 

  
 -2- 













 
subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Purchaser, shall be based on (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternative
benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated mortgage loan financing facilities for such alternative benchmark rates and, in each case, including any mathematical or
other adjustments to such benchmark rates giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated mortgage loan financing facilities for such benchmark rates, which adjustment or method
for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Purchaser from time to time in its sole discretion and may be periodically updated) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”). Such Successor Rate
shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Purchaser, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise determined by Purchaser in
its sole discretion. In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, Purchaser shall have the right to make Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion from time to time and, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Principal Agreement, any amendments implementing such Successor Rate Conforming Changes shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. 

(e) Exhibit K to the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the form of
Annex One attached hereto (modified text underlined for review purposes). 
 (f) Annex A to the Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the form of Annex Two attached hereto (modified text underlined for review purposes). 

SECTION 2. Condition Precedent. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Seller shall remit to Purchaser a
facility fee attributable to the renewal of the Agreement (the “Renewal Facility Fee”), in accordance with Section 2(g) of the Agreement. The Renewal Facility Fee shall be deemed due, earned and payable in
full on the date hereof. Upon early termination of the Agreement, no portion of the Renewal Facility Fee will be refunded to Seller. 

SECTION 3. Fees and Expenses. The Seller agrees to pay to Purchaser all fees and out of pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser in
connection with this Amendment, including all reasonable fees and out of pocket costs and expenses of the legal counsel to Purchaser incurred in connection with this Amendment, in accordance with Section 22(a) of the
Agreement. 
 SECTION 4. Defined Terms. Any terms capitalized but not otherwise defined herein should have the respective meanings
set forth in the Agreement. 
 SECTION 5. Limited Effect. Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect in accordance with its terms. Reference to this Amendment need not be made in the Agreement or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to, or
with respect to, the Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Agreement as amended hereby. 

SECTION 6. Representations. In order to induce Purchaser to execute and deliver this Amendment, Seller hereby represents to Purchaser
that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to this Amendment, (i) Seller is in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Program Documents and remains bound by the terms thereof, and (ii) no Potential Default or
Event of Default or Servicing termination event (as described in Section 6(f) of the Agreement) has occurred and is continuing under the Program Documents.

hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by federal law.

agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.
