 Exhibit 10.16 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 14, 2014 (the “Start
Date”) by and between loanDepot.com, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) and Jon Frojen (“Executive”). 

RECITALS 
 WHEREAS,
the Company desires to engage Executive as an employee and Executive desires to provide his services to the Company in connection with the Company’s business on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and 

WHEREAS, given Executive’s knowledge and skill regarding the strategy, products, customers and goodwill of the business and assets
of the Company that Executive will gain through his employment with the Company, it is of paramount importance that this Agreement contain enforceable restrictive covenants, such that the Company is willing to provide Executive with the compensation
and benefits described in this Agreement for his adherence to such covenants as set forth herein following the termination of his employment, regardless of the reason for his termination. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, Executive and the Company agree as follows: 

1. Employment Term. The term of this Agreement shall be the period commencing on the Start Date and ending on the date that is one year
from the date hereof (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1, the “Employment Term”), unless terminated earlier as provided in Section 7 below. The Employment Term shall automatically renew for two
additional successive one year terms unless Company provides written notice of nonrenewal to Executive no less than ninety (90) days prior to expiration of the Employment Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sections 4
and 5 of this Agreement shall be in effect for the periods described herein. 
 2. Scope of Employment. 

(a) Positions and Duties. Executive agrees that as of the Start Date he shall become an employee of the Company with the title of Chief
Financial Officer of the Company. In those capacities and subject to the direction of the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Board of Managers (the “Board”) of the Company, Executive shall have duties
consistent with his title and position as may be reasonably assigned to him from time to time by the CEO and/or the Board. Executive will report to the CEO. 

(b) Exclusive Efforts. During Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive shall render services to the Company exclusively,
and shall not render, directly or indirectly, any services or engage in business activities with any other person or entity, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, equity holder, corporate officer, director, or in
any other individual or representative capacity, that are directly or indirectly 

  
 -1- 

 
competitive with or otherwise harmful to, any business or other activity then conducted by the Company or its affiliates, without the prior written consent of the Company. Executive agrees to
serve the Company faithfully, to execute to the best of his abilities the duties of his position, and to devote his entire business time, attention, and efforts to the interests and business of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject
at all times to the restrictions in Sections 4 and 5, Executive shall not be restricted from participating as an advisor, director or in similar capacities with charitable or professional organizations, so long as such participation
(i) is for no or nominal consideration, (ii) complies with the Company’s employment policies, (iii) does not interfere with the satisfaction of Executive’s obligations hereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, such
participation shall not be during normal business hours of the Company) and (iv) no asset of the Company is used in connection with such participation. In addition, subject to conflict of interest and insider trading policies of the Company,
Executive may make passive investments of not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of, or any other equity interest in, a company (other than the Company or its affiliates) listed on a national securities exchange or in an
over-the-counter securities market. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that he is not under any contractual commitment which prohibits or limits his employment by the Company or which is inconsistent with his duties as set forth in
this Agreement. 
 (c) Compliance with Laws and Policies. Executive shall not knowingly use the Company or any affiliate thereof to
violate any laws, rules and regulations applicable to any of them or the business thereof, and shall not cause or permit the Company or any affiliate thereof to engage in any activity that is illegal, or, without the prior consent of the Board, any
activity that might reasonably be expected to result in a loss or impairment of the Company’s state or federal mortgage lending licenses and approvals, or of any approvals issued by any warehouse lender or investor with which the Company does
business. Without limiting the foregoing, Executive shall observe all of the policies, procedures and directives of the Company as may be contained in any Company employee handbook or manual that has been approved by the Board. 

3. Compensation and Benefits. 

(a) Compensation. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in exchange for Executive’s services and compliance with the
terms hereof, the Company shall pay the following to Executive: 
 (i) Base Salary. During (a) the first calendar year of the
Employment Term, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall commence on the Start Date and end on December 31, 2014, the Company shall pay to Executive an annual base salary of Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000) (to be
prorated for the partial year), and (b) the second calendar year of the Employment Term, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall commence on January 1, 2015 and end on December 31, 2015, the Company shall pay to the Executive an
annual base salary of Four Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($425,000) (such amounts, as applicable, the “Base Salary”). Base Salary shall be subject to applicable taxes and withholdings and payable in accordance with the
Company’s regularly scheduled payroll policies. 

  
 -2- 

 (ii) Annual Bonus. During (a) the first calendar year of the Employment Term,
Executive will be eligible to earn an annual bonus in an amount up to $225,000, and (b) the second calendar year of the Employment Term, Executive will be eligible to earn an annual bonus of up to $255,000. Each annual bonus shall be subject to
applicable taxes and withholdings and the amount, timing and conditions of payment of each annual bonus shall be subject to the sole discretion of the Board (it being understood and agreed that there is no assurance that Executive will earn any
annual bonuses). All annual bonuses shall be payable only following approval by the Board and only if Executive is at the time of payment an employee in good standing; provided, however, that if Executive has earned a bonus in one
calendar year and is terminated without Cause, or Executive resigns for Good Reason, in a subsequent calendar year prior to the actual payment of such prior year’s bonus, then Executive shall receive such prior year’s bonus at the time of
termination. 
 (iii) Additional Bonus Payment. In addition to the annual bonus described in Section 3(a)(ii), if
Executive provides material contributions above and beyond his normal duties in connection with a mergers and acquisition transaction that is consummated during the Employment Term, then for the calendar year in which such transaction is
consummated, Executive will be eligible to earn a bonus payment of up to $100,000, minus taxes and applicable withholdings. The amount, timing and conditions of payment of such bonus, if any, shall be subject to the sole discretion of the Board.

 (b) Equity Participation. Pursuant to that certain Unit Grant Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and between the
Company and Executive (the “Unit Grant Agreement”), the Company will grant to Executive certain profits interests under the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, as the same may be amended
or modified from time to time (as may be amended from time to time, the “LLC Agreement”). Executive shall execute a joinder to the LLC Agreement and shall be bound by the terms thereof, notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary. 
 (c) Vacation/PTO. In addition to (but without duplication of) the Base Salary and any bonuses described above payable to
Executive pursuant to Section 3(a), during the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation of four weeks per year in accordance with the Company’s then current policies, plans, programs or practices. All vacation
days and other paid time off, if any, are collectively referred to herein as “PTO”. 
 (d) Executive Benefits.
Subject to the terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of any applicable insurer and after satisfying a minimum period of employment in accordance with the Company’s policies, Executive and/or Executive’s qualified dependents, in
accordance with the Company’s then-applicable health insurance plan, may be eligible for participation in the Company’s health insurance or welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company, if any, to the
extent applicable generally to similarly situated employees of the Company. Executive acknowledges and agrees, however, that the Company reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any and all of the above plans, practices, policies or
programs at any time, in accordance with the terms of the plan(s) and applicable provisions of state and federal law. 

  
 -3- 

 (e) Expense Reimbursement. During the Employment Term, the Company shall reimburse
Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by Executive in the course of performing Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement which are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from
time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. 

4. Trade Secrets, Confidential Information. 

(a) Executive acknowledges that, during his employment with the Company he will acquire Trade Secrets and other Confidential Information (as
defined in Exhibit A attached hereto), including information relating to the business of the Company, business methods and plans, customers, products and pricing. The Company considers plans for research, development, current and new
products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, production, customers, potential customers and any other information related to business conducted between such persons and
the Company to be Trade Secrets and, as such, the confidential, sole and exclusive property of the Company. 
 (b) Executive understands
that all Records (as defined in Exhibit A hereto) also constitute Confidential Information (and may constitute Trade Secrets) of the Company, and that his obligations continue at all times during and after his employment. These Records do not
become any less confidential or proprietary to the Company because Executive may commit some of them to memory or because he may otherwise maintain them outside of the Company’s offices. 

(c) Executive shall not, at any time during the term of his employment or after the termination of his employment, disclose to others, either
directly or indirectly, or take or use for Executive’s own purposes or the purposes of others, either directly or indirectly, any trade secret or any Confidential Information, knowledge, data or know-how of the Company. Executive agrees that
all Confidential Information of the Company is to be used by him solely and exclusively for the purpose of conducting business on behalf of the Company or its affiliated companies. If Executive resigns or is terminated from his employment for any
reason, he agrees to immediately return all (and shall not keep a copy of any) Confidential Information, including Confidential Information maintained by him in his office, personal electronic devices and/or at home. 

5. Covenants. 
 (a)
Acknowledgment of Business Interest. Executive acknowledges that, as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, he is and will be in possession of specialized information concerning the total operations, conduct, management, and strategy of the
Company’s business, and that the applicability of his knowledge of these matters is not limited to his principal location in California, but rather is applicable wherever the Company and its affiliates conduct business. Executive further
acknowledges that the Company and its affiliates have a legitimate business interest in protecting the acquired goodwill, Trade Secrets, Records and other Confidential Information and business from any competition. Executive also acknowledges and
recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of the Company and its affiliates. 

  
 -4- 

 (b) Non-Competition. In light of the facts set forth in Section 5.5(a) and for
the consideration herein provided, Executive agrees not to compete with the Company or its affiliates, directly or indirectly (whether as an officer, director, employee, consultant, equity holder or debt holder of a competing business), during his
employment. 
 (c) Non-Solicitation of Business Relationships. In light of the facts set forth in Section 5.5(a) and for
the consideration herein provided, Executive agrees not to solicit or interfere with any client, customer, supplier, distributor or other business relationship of the Company or its affiliates during his employment and following termination of his
employment for a period of two years. 
 (d) Non-Solicitation of Employees or Consultants. In light of the facts set forth in
Section 5.5(a) and for the consideration herein provided, Executive agrees not to solicit any employee or consultant of the Company or its affiliates during his employment and following termination of his employment for a period of two
years. 
 (e) Non-Disparagement by Executive. For the consideration herein provided, Executive agrees not to disparage or defame in
any manner, whether directly or indirectly, the Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, owners, representatives, employees, products or services for a period of two years following termination of employment. 

(f) Non-Disparagement by the Company. The Company agrees that it shall direct its officers and managers not to disparage or defame in
any manner, whether directly or indirectly, Executive. 
 (g) Transition. For the consideration herein provided, Executive agrees, at
no additional charge to the Company, for at least ninety (90) days following termination to cooperate promptly and fully with the Company to transition Executive’s role and responsibilities to the Company’s designee. 

6. Remedies Upon Breach. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the services to be rendered by him to the Company and its
affiliates are of a special and unique character, which gives this Agreement a peculiar value to the Company and its affiliates, and further acknowledges and agrees that the loss of those services to a competitor or the competition by Executive
against the Company or its affiliates cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated for by damages in an action at law. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by him of any of the provisions contained in
Section 4 or Section 5 will cause irreparable injury to the Company and its affiliates. Executive therefore agrees that, in addition to any other right or remedy the Company or its affiliates may have, the Company or its
affiliates shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and to a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining or restraining the breach or threatened breach of Section 4 or Section 5 by Executive, without the
necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages. Executive further agrees that the Company shall have the right to have the provisions of Section 4 and Section 5 specifically enforced and to require Executive to
account for and pay over to the 

  
 -5- 

 
Company all compensation, profits, moneys, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of such provisions.
Following termination of employment, Executive shall be obligated to notify his new employer regarding the restrictions set forth herein and the Company shall be permitted to notify his new employer regarding same. 

7. Termination. 

(a) Definitions. As used herein: 

(i) “Cause” means (A) Executive’s plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, or conviction for, the commission of
(1) an offense that the Board determines may be expected to result in any state or federal disciplinary or license revocation proceeding with respect to any license, permit or other authorization issued by any state, federal or local authority,
and/or (2) a felony; provided, however, that, after indictment (in the case of (1) or (2)), the Company may suspend Executive from rendering services, but without limiting or modifying in any other way the Company’s
obligations under this Agreement; (B) a breach by Executive of a fiduciary duty owed to the Company that is not cured by Executive within 15 days after receipt of written notice from the Company describing the breach in reasonable detail;
(C) a material breach by Executive of any of the covenants made by Executive in Section 4 or Section 5 that is not cured by Executive within 15 days after receipt of written notice from the Company describing the breach
in reasonable detail; (D) Executive’s failure to perform a duty required by this Agreement that is not cured by Executive within 15 days after receipt of written notice from the Company describing the breach in reasonable detail;
(E) a violation by Executive of any Company policy pertaining to ethics, wrongdoing or conflicts of interest that is not cured by Executive within 15 days after receipt of written notice from the Company describing the breach in reasonable
detail; and/or (F) Executive’s resignation of employment without Good Reason (as defined below) without providing at least 90 days advance written notice. The foregoing cure periods shall in each case only be provided to the extent that
Executive’s acts or omissions are reasonably capable of being cured and without incurring cost or liability to the Company; and if such acts or omissions are not so capable of being cured, then Executive’s termination shall be deemed to
occur on the date that the event or matter giving rise to “Cause” first arose or occurred. With respect to this Section 7(a)(i), Executive shall not be entitled to cure more than once per 12 month period under this Agreement.

 (ii) “Disability” means that Executive is, as determined by a physician selected by the Company (unless Executive has
been determined to be incompetent by a court), unable to perform the essential functions of his position, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to legal, physical or mental incapacity, for a period beyond any protected leave to which
Executive may be entitled to under applicable law. The Company will provide all applicable legally-required leaves to Executive, which shall be provided on an unpaid basis unless pay is otherwise required under applicable law. This provision shall
be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with all applicable laws, including laws regarding workers’ compensation, disability, and family and medical leave laws. 

(iii) “Good Reason” shall be deemed to exist if (A) any Good Reason Event occurs without Executive’s approval,
(B) Executive delivers written notice thereof to the 

  
 -6- 

 
Board within 30 days following the occurrence thereof, which notice describes the grounds constituting Good Reason with reasonable particularity and states that unless cured or remedied in
accordance with clause (C), Executive intends to resign for Good Reason, (C) the Company fails to cure or remedy the same in all material respects within 30 days following the Board’s receipt of such notice; and (D) Executive resigns
within 60 days following the occurrence of the Good Reason Event after failure of the Company to cure. 
 (iv) “Good Reason
Event” means (A) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Employment Term, (B) a change of control of the Company in which the acquiror does not assume this Agreement (I) involving the
sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (II) involving the sale of all or substantially all of the equity interests in the Company, or (C) a relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment in Foothill
Ranch, California by more than 50 miles. 
 (b) Early Termination. The Employment Term and the parties’ obligations under this
Agreement other than as expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have terminated upon the first to occur of the following: (i) Executive’s death; (ii) Executive’s Disability, (iii) the Company’s termination of
Executive’s employment, with or without Cause, and/or (iv) Executive’s resignation, with or without Good Reason. 
 (c)
Right to Terminate or Resign. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with or without Cause, at any time and without notice. Executive shall have the right to resign for Good Reason by written notice of
resignation delivered to the Board in accordance with Section 7(a)(iii). Executive shall have the right to resign without Good Reason by providing at least ninety (90) days’ written notice of resignation delivered to the Board
(provided that after Executive has provided such notice to the Board, the Company may in its discretion shorten such notice period to a lesser duration and in such case the Company would only have to provide Executive with the compensation and
benefits that had been earned as of the actual date of Executive’s earlier termination of employment). 
 (d) Final Payments Due for
any Employment Termination. In the event Executive’s employment terminates for any reason, the Company shall (i) pay Executive any portion of the Base Salary earned but unpaid through the date of termination in accordance with
Section 3(a), (ii) pay Executive for any earned but unused PTO in accordance with the Company’s PTO policies, and (iii) reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred through the date of termination in accordance
with Section 3(e). 
 (e) Severance for Certain Employment Terminations. If the Company (i) terminates
Executive’s employment without Cause, (ii) Executive resigns for Good Reason or (iii) the Company does not renew the Employment Term, and provided in each case of (i)-(iii) that Executive continues to comply with all obligations
to the Company that apply following termination, including, without limitation, Section 7(f) below, then Executive shall be entitled to receive salary continuation payments at Executive’s then-current Base Salary for a period of one
(1) year after the effective date of such termination, payable in installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices, and subject to withholding for applicable taxes. 

  
 -7- 

 (f) Release and Payment. Notwithstanding Section 7(e), it is understood and
agreed that the Company’s agreement to provide severance is in partial consideration of Executive’s promise to execute, within twenty-one (21) days after termination or such later time if required by applicable law, a general release
and waiver, in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release and Waiver”). Accordingly, if Executive refuses to sign the Release and Waiver or signs the Release and Waiver but exercises his right, if any, under applicable law to
revoke the Release and Waiver (or any portion thereof), then Executive will not be entitled to any severance benefits because executing, and not revoking the Release and Waiver is a condition to receiving such severance benefits. The date that the
Release and Waiver becomes effective and is no longer subject to revocation shall be referred to as the “Release and Waiver Effective Date”. The salary continuation payments described in Section 7(e) shall be paid in
accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices in effect at the time of Executive’s termination of employment beginning on the regularly-scheduled payroll date immediately following the Release and Waiver Effective Date;
provided, however, that if the salary continuation payments are determined to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” that is subject to Code Section 409A (as defined below) and the 21-day period following
Executive’s termination of employment during which Executive has to consider the Release and Waiver begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, then the first salary continuation installment shall be paid on the
Company’s next regularly-scheduled payroll date that is no earlier than January 1st of the second calendar year and shall include the amount of any payments that would have been made before the Release and Waiver Effective Date but for
Executive’s termination of employment, and the remaining salary continuation installments shall be payable on the Company’s regularly scheduled paydays that follow. 

(g) Other Events. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive’s termination due to death or Disability shall not be considered without
Cause, and thus shall not entitle him to any severance benefits. Unless stated otherwise by the Company, non-renewal of the Employment Term shall not, in and of itself, constitute a termination of Executive’s employment. 

(h) Resignation as Officer or Director. Upon termination of employment, Executive shall be deemed to automatically resign each position
that he then holds as an officer or director of the Company or any of its affiliates; provided, that (and without limiting the foregoing), if requested by the Company, Executive shall deliver a written notice of resignation to the Board (and
for any affiliate of the Company). 
 (i) Corporate Transaction. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the consolidation of the
Company with, or its merger into, any other person, the change of control of the Company, the sale by the Company of all or a substantial part of its assets, the sale of all or substantially all of the equity interests in the Company or any
transaction similar to any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing, a “Corporate Transaction”). The Company’s termination of Executive’s employment in connection with a Corporate Transaction consisting of a sale of assets
shall not be deemed a termination for purposes of this Agreement (and thus shall not trigger a severance obligation under this Agreement) if the successor or assign assumes and agrees to perform the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

  
 -8- 

 (j) Remedies. The rights and remedies set forth in this Section 7 are
Executive’s sole rights and remedies in the event of the termination of his employment, subject to any rights that he may have under the express terms of the Unit Grant Agreement. 

8. Ownership of Work Product and Inventions. 

(a) Ownership. The Company shall own all rights to “Work Product” (as defined below) created by Executive. Executive hereby
assigns to the Company all copyright, trademark, trade secrecy, and patent rights in the Work Product. Executive will take all action reasonably requested by the Company to transfer rights to the Work Product to the Company and to permit the Company
to obtain copyright, trademark, patent, or similar protection for the Work Product in its own name in any jurisdiction. Executive hereby waives in whole any moral rights which he may have in any such Work Product or any part or parts thereof.
Executive will discuss the status of the Work Product with his supervisor or the chief technical officer of the Company on a regular basis so that the Company can decide when to protect or establish its rights. If Executive makes any
“Invention” (as defined below) during the Employment Term that Executive believes does not belong to the Company under this Agreement, then Executive will promptly notify his supervisor and will supply a written explanation of the reasons
for such belief. Executive is not the owner of any invention as of the date hereof. Executive agrees that even if his employment is terminated by the Company, Executive shall at all times cooperate with the Company in the prosecution or defense of
any lawsuit related to the Company activities in connection with any copyright of the Company. 
 (b) Definitions. For purposes of
this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 (i) “Work Product” means written materials
created by Executive, Inventions made by Executive, programs, fixes, routines, inventions, ideas, designs, manuals, improvements, discoveries, processes, and any other results or properties of Executive’s efforts whether produced alone or with
others, a) relating to the Company’s actual or anticipated business, or b) made or conceived during working hours or developed with the aid of the Company’s personnel or assets. 

(ii) “Invention” means any invention, including, without limitation, information, inventions, contributions, improvements,
ideas, or discoveries, whether patentable or copyrightable or not, and whether or not conceived or made during work hours. 
 (c)
Limitations. All provisions of this Agreement relating to the assignment by Executive of any invention or innovation are subject to the provisions of California Labor Code Sections 2870, 2871 and 2872. Executive understands that, in
accordance with Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment to the Company, without payment, of any rights in any Inventions would not apply to any invention for which no equipment, supplies,
facility, or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on Executive’s own time, unless (i) the invention relates (A) directly to the business of the Company, or (B) to the Company’s
actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (ii) the invention results from any work performed by Executive for the Company. A copy of California Labor Code Sections 2870, 2871 and 2872 is attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit B. 

  
 -9- 

 9. Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. This Agreement and its
payments and benefits are intended to comply with (or be exempt from) the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”) and will be interpreted and administered in
accordance with such intention. In the event this Agreement or any payment or benefit paid to Executive hereunder is deemed to be subject to Code Section 409A, Executive consents to the Company adopting such conforming amendments or taking such
actions as the Company deems necessary, in its discretion, to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment that may be made under this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate payment. With respect to the time of payments of any amounts upon Executive’s termination of employment that are determined to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A,
no payment shall be made unless and until Executive experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, if upon Executive’s
“separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, Executive is then a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), then to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid
the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A, the Company shall defer payment of nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A payable as a result of and within six (6) months following such separation from
service under this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month following Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) ten (10) days after the Company receives written notification of
Executive’s death. Any such delayed payments shall be made without interest. Additionally, the reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses
eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in any other taxable year; (2) the reimbursement of eligible expenses or in-kind benefits shall be
made promptly, subject to the Company’s applicable policies, but in no event later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to
liquidation or exchange for another benefit. While it is intended that all payments that may be provided to Executive under this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A, the Company makes no representation or covenant to
ensure that such payments and benefits are exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A. Executive agrees that he has reviewed or been advised to review (and had ample opportunity to review) the provisions of this Agreement with applicable
legal and tax counsel to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A and that the Company shall not be responsible for any adverse tax consequences experienced by Executive in connection with this Agreement. 

10. Confidentiality. The parties hereto agree to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential, except that the Company may disclose
the terms herein as necessary to perform its duties hereunder, during litigation or general reference in such proceedings or as required by law (including any regulations of any securities exchange). Executive shall not disclose any terms herein
except to Executive’s spouse, if applicable, attorneys or tax preparer or other professional advisors to whom such disclosure is necessary to effectuate the purposes for which Executive has consulted such professional advisors, or as required
by law. Executive shall inform all future employers that Executive is bound by this confidentiality provision.

law relating to or arising out of this Agreement to a trial pursuant to an Order of Reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) § 638(a), after filing an action in Orange County Superior Court. The parties
intend that this general reference agreement shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with § 638(a). The referee shall be a retired judge or justice from JAMS having experience in employment matters. If the parties are unable to agree
upon a referee, each party shall submit to the Orange County Superior Court in which the action is pending up to three nominees for appointment as referee and the court shall make the appointment from the nominees in accordance with CCP § 640,
except that only one referee shall be appointed. Likewise, if no nominations are received from any of the parties, the court shall make the appointment pursuant to CCP § 640. The parties further agree first to mediate any such dispute before a
neutral at JAMS. Any mediation or trial pursuant to the general reference herein will be conducted at JAMS’ office in Orange County, California. The parties shall pay in advance the estimated reasonable fees and costs of the reference or
mediation, as may be specified in advance by the referee or JAMS. The parties shall initially share equally, by paying their proportionate amount of the estimated fees and costs of the mediation or reference, subject to reallocation by the referee
in a post-trial costs memorandum proceeding. Nothing in this Section 12(b) shall preclude any party from seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction 

(c) Consent to Jurisdiction. In any proceeding seeking equitable relief or to enforce general reference, each of the parties hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the appropriate state court situated in Orange County, California and hereby waives in advance any objection or defense to such jurisdiction, including any defense
based on lack of personal jurisdiction or forum non conveniens. 
 13. Attorneys’ Fees. If a party hereto commences a general
reference or files an action against the other party to enforce any right such claimant party has hereunder, the prevailing party shall also be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit in addition to any other relief
awarded such prevailing party. 
 14. Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement
be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the law and public policies applied 

  
 -12- 

 
in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 15. Amendments, Modifications and
Waivers. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any of the provisions hereof be waived, temporarily or permanently, except pursuant to a written instrument in ink executed by the parties hereto. Any
waiver shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by another party. 
 16. Successors and Assigns. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the written consent of each other party, except that (a) the Company may assign and transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section
shall be void. This Agreement is personal in nature as to Executive and may not be assigned by him. The parties agree that this Agreement shall survive Executive’s employment by the Company and is binding upon Executive’s heirs and legal
representatives, and that the Company is an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the consolidation of the Company with, or its merger into, any other person, the change of control of the Company,
the sale by the Company of all or a substantial part of its assets or any similar transaction. 
 17. Captions. The captions are
included in this Agreement for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect
as if such signatures were upon the same instrument. A facsimile, photocopied signature (which may be delivered by facsimile) or email with scan attachment shall be deemed to be the functional equivalent of an original for all purposes. This
Agreement shall become effective when each party has received a counterpart of this Agreement signed by the other party. 
 19. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, the Unit Grant Agreement and the LLC Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matters addressed herein and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or
representations, by or among such parties, whether written or oral. 
 20. Construction. The parties have participated jointly, with
counsel of their own choosing, in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of
proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the 

  
 -13- 

 
authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The termination of this Agreement shall not affect (a) Sections 4 and 5, which shall survive termination of this Agreement or (b) any of
the rights that have accrued through the time of such termination or as a result of such termination. 
 21. Acknowledgment.
Executive acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of his own choice concerning this Agreement, and that he has taken advantage of that opportunity to the extent that he desires. Executive further acknowledges
that he has read and understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, and has entered into it voluntarily based on his own judgment.

 EXHIBIT B 

CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTIONS 

2970. (a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention
to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that
either: 
 (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development of the employer; or 
 (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. 

(b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be
assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable. 
 2871. No employer shall require a
provision made void and unenforceable by Section 2870 as a condition of employment or continued employment. Nothing in this article shall be construed to forbid or restrict the right of an employer to provide in contracts of employment for
disclosure, provided that any such disclosures be received in confidence, of all of the employee’s inventions made solely or jointly with others during the term of his or her employment, a review process by the employer to determine such issues
as may arise, and for full title to certain patents and inventions to be in the United States, as required by contracts between the employer and the United States or any of its agencies. 

2872. If an employment agreement entered into after January 1, 1980, contains a provision requiring the employee to assign or offer to assign any of his
or her rights in any invention to his or her employer, the employer must also, at the time the agreement is made, provide a written notification to the employee that the agreement does not apply to an invention which qualifies fully under the
provisions of Section 2870. In any suit or action arising thereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the employee claiming the benefits of its provisions.

 Exhibit 10.17 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered as of September 30, 2013 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between loanDepot.com, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Employer”), and Bryan Sullivan (“Executive”) (together, the “Parties” and each a
“Party”). Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 9.14. 

WHEREAS, the Employer desires to employ Executive on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Executive is willing to accept such
employment on such terms and conditions. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 
 1. Employment and
Acceptance. The Employer shall employ Executive, and Executive shall accept employment, subject to the terms of this Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date and ending as provided in Section 2 below. 

2. Term. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, the employment relationship hereunder
shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of two (2) years (the “Initial Employment Period”) and shall extend for successive one (1) year terms thereafter (each such extension, a “Renewal
Term”) on the same terms and conditions set forth herein as modified from time to time by the Parties hereto, unless either Party shall have given at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party prior to the
expiration of the Initial Employment Period or then current Renewal Term, as applicable, that it does not wish to extend the Employment Period. As used in this Agreement, the “Employment Period” shall refer to the period beginning
on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the date that the Initial Employment Period or then current Renewal Term expires in accordance with this Section 2 or (ii) the date that the Executive’s employment is
terminated in accordance with Section 5. Subject to the survival of certain provisions as set forth in Section 9.19, this Agreement shall terminate upon the cessation of the Employment Period for any reason. In the event that
the Employment Period expires, then, unless notice of termination of employment is also expressly given by the Executive or Employer to the other Party, Executive’s employment with the Employer shall continue on an “at-will” basis,
with such employment subject only to those contractual terms which expressly extend beyond the cessation of the Employment Period pursuant to Section 9.19 (with the remainder of the contractual terms of this Agreement ceasing to be of
any force or effect) and, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Managers of the Employer (the “Board”) or the Chief Executive Officer of Employer (the “Chief Executive Officer”), the Employer shall continue to
provide Executive with the same base salary and employee benefits described in Section 4.4 below as were in effect and provided to Executive hereunder immediately prior to the cessation of the Employment Period. Further, as used in
Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement, the phrases “during the course of Executive’s employment” or “during Executive’s employment” or such similar phrase shall refer to the period beginning on the
Effective Date and ending on the date when Executive ceases to be employed by the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer and Executive agree that Executive is an
“at-will” employee, subject only to the notice and contractual rights upon termination set forth herein.

 3. Duties and Title. 

3.1 Title. Executive shall serve in the capacity of Executive Vice President and Chief Investment and Strategy Officer and shall report
directly to the Chief Executive Officer. 
 3.2 Duties. Executive shall devote Executive’s reasonable best efforts and, subject
to the commitments set forth on Schedule A, full business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Employer and the LoanDepot Group, and shall have all of the duties, responsibilities, functions and authority implied by his
position, subject to the power and authority of the Chief Executive Officer and the Board. Executive shall perform such Executive’s duties, responsibilities and functions to the Employer or any other member of the LoanDepot Group hereunder, as
applicable, in a diligent and professional manner and shall comply with the lawful policies and procedures of the Employer and the LoanDepot Group in all material respects. In performing Executive’s duties and exercising Executive’s
authority under this Agreement, Executive shall support and implement the business and strategic plans approved from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer and/or Board. Executive’s primary duties, responsibilities, functions and authority
shall be exploring, structuring, managing and negotiating strategic partnerships, growth and expansion of business units, asset acquisitions, corporate capital markets/financings, mergers and acquisitions for the LoanDepot Group as well as readying
the Employer for a potential initial public offering; provided, however, that such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority may be changed and/or supplemented from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board. So long as
Executive is employed by the Employer, Executive, except for the commitments set forth on Schedule A, shall not accept other employment, serve as an officer or consultant of any other Person, serve as a director of any other Person or perform
other services for compensation without the prior written consent of the Board (which consent may be withheld by the Board in its sole discretion). From time to time and upon the Board’s request, Executive shall attend meetings of the Board.

 4. Salary and Benefits by the Employer. As compensation for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Employer shall
provide Executive the following during the Employment Period: 
 4.1 Salary. During the Employment Period, Executive’s base
salary shall be Two Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($290,000) per annum (as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the “Base Salary”). Beginning January 1, 2015 (and subject to
the Employment Period extending through such date), the Base Salary shall be subject to a five percent (5%) minimum annual increase on a fiscal-year basis or such greater increase as may be approved from time to time by the Board in its sole
discretion. Thus, for the fiscal year 2015, the Base Salary shall be at least Three Hundred Four Thousand and Five Hundred Dollars ($304,500), and the Base Salary shall increase by a minimum of 5% for each fiscal year thereafter during the
Employment Period. The Base Salary shall be payable by the Employer in regular installments in accordance with the Employer’s general payroll practices (in effect from time to time). Executive’s Base Salary for any partial year (including
the year beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2013) will be pro-rated based upon the actual number of days elapsed in such year. 

4.2 Bonus. Executive shall be paid a cash bonus of Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars ($65,000) or such greater amount as may be approved by
the Board for Executive’s work for the LoanDepot Group during the 2013 fiscal year (the “2013 Bonus”). The 2013 Bonus shall be paid on or before December 31, 2013. Beginning with the 2014 fiscal year, Executive shall be
eligible for an annual cash bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) for each full fiscal year during the Employment Period for which the Board approves the payment of an Annual Bonus to Executive. For each such fiscal year, if the Board
determines that any Annual Bonus will be paid, then the Annual Bonus shall be equal to a minimum of 75% of Executive’s Base Salary for such fiscal year. The Employer shall pay the Annual Bonus, if any is earned, to the Executive on or prior to
March 15th of the year immediately following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates. The Annual Bonus shall be earned at the end of each such fiscal year. If Executive ceases to
be employed prior to the end of any fiscal year, then the Executive shall not have earned or be entitled to any Annual Bonus or other bonus for such year 

  
 -2- 

 
except as otherwise expressly provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not have earned or be entitled to an Annual Bonus for any fiscal year in which he receives a bonus
pursuant to Section 4.7 below. 
 4.3 Unit Grants and Purchase.  

Pursuant to the Unit Grant Agreement, Employer will grant to Executive certain Class X Common Units, Class Y Common Units and Class W Common
Units. All terms of such grant (including but not limited to all terms relating to the holding, vesting, cancellation, transfer or repurchase of such Common Units) shall be governed by the Unit Grant Agreement and the LLC Agreement. In addition,
Executive shall be permitted to receive additional unit grants as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Schedule B sets forth an example waterfall of distributions in respect of the equity granted to Executive and the potential
acquisition of units under Section 4.6, based on a pro forma capitalization of Employer as of November 1, 2013 (but including the contemplated issuance of $12,500,000 of Class P Common Units) at a hypothetical exit. 

4.4 Participation in Employee Benefit Plans. In addition to (but without duplication of) the Base Salary and any bonuses described
above payable to Executive pursuant to this Section 4, during the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to accrue paid vacation at the rate of four (4) weeks per year in accordance with the Employer’s then current
policies, plans, programs or practices. Subject to eligibility requirements and beginning on the date hereof, (i) the Employer shall provide Executive with a life insurance policy for the benefit of Executive’s heirs and assigns if and
only if the Board makes such a policy available to other similarly situated executives of the Employer, on the same terms as other similarly situated executives of the Employer, and (ii) Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents shall
be entitled to such health, dental or vision plans of the Employer as approved by the Board, or as may be available to other similarly situated executives of the Employer, pursuant to the terms of such plans and on the same terms as other similarly
situated executives of the Employer. If Employer at any time makes a 401(k) plan available to other similarly situated executives of the Employer, Executive shall be entitled to participate in such 401(k) plan, and Employer shall match contributions
of Executive under the 401(k) plan consistent with Employer matching of contributions of other similarly situated executives of the Employer. 

4.5 Expense Reimbursement. During the Employment Period, the Employer shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by Executive in the course of performing Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement which are consistent with
the Employer’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Employer’s requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. In addition,
Employer shall reimburse Executive for any fees and continuing education necessary to maintain his California CPA license actually incurred by Executive during the Employment Period, provided that such reimbursement shall not exceed Two
Thousand Dollars ($2,000) in any one-year period. 
 4.6 Unit Purchase. At Executive’s election Executive shall have the option
to purchase up to $250,000 of a new senior priority equity security (to be defined in a separate agreement) being contemplated by the existing Members. This option should only be available should existing Members issue and purchase such new senior
equity. The Executive’s option shall expire at the funding of a new senior priority equity security. If Executive elects to purchase Units pursuant to this Section 4.6, then Executive shall execute and deliver to Employer such
documents as may be reasonably requested by Employer to consummate the transaction and to become party to the LLC Agreement as a Member, which documents may include without limitation a joinder to the LLC Agreement and a blank unit transfer power
executed in blank (in form approved by the Board) for the purpose of authorizing the Employer to assign, transfer and deliver the units purchased pursuant hereto to the appropriate acquiror thereof pursuant to Section 9.2 of the LLC
Agreement. In addition, Executive shall make representations and warranties in the Unit Grant Agreement in connection with the purchase of any Units pursuant to this Section 4.6. 

  
 -3- 

 4.7 Sale of Company Bonus. Upon the consummation of a Sale of the Company during the
Employment Period, the Employer shall (in addition to Executive’s earned Base Salary) pay to Executive in a lump sum payment a bonus equal to fifteen months’ salary, to be calculated based on Executive’s annual Base Salary for the
then current fiscal year. It is agreed and understood that Executive shall be entitled to receive the bonus set forth in this Section 4.7 if and only if Executive remains continuously employed with the Employer through the consummation
of a Sale of the Company. Any such bonus payment shall be paid to Executive within ten (10) days of the consummation of the Sale of the Company. In the event that, at the time of the consummation of a Sale of the Company, Executive is entitled
to receive any amounts pursuant to Sections 5.1(b), 5.2 or 5.5 below, as applicable, Employer’s obligation to pay such amounts shall accelerate and all amounts outstanding with respect to such Section shall be due and
payable to Executive within ten (10) days of the consummation of the Sale of the Company; provided, however, that Executive shall be deemed to be entitled to any such amounts for purposes of this Section 4.7 if and only if the
Executive has executed and delivered to the Employer a General Release substantially in form and substance as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Release”) within the time limitations set forth in Section 6.3,
the Release has become effective, the time frame provided in Section 6 for the revocation of the Release has lapsed at least five (5) business days prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Company without revocation by
Executive, and Executive has not materially breached the provisions of the Release, or Section 7 or Section 8 of this Agreement prior to payment of such amounts. 

5. Termination of Employment. 

5.1 Termination By Executive. Executive may terminate his employment and the Employment Period at any time, with or without Good Reason
(as defined below), by resigning upon prior written notice delivered to Employer effective as of the date set forth in such notice. 

5.1(a) Resignation by Executive Without Good Reason. If Executive terminates employment by resigning without Good Reason (as defined
below), Executive shall be entitled to receive the following: (i) Executive’s earned, accrued but unpaid Base Salary as of the date of termination; (ii) benefits pursuant to Section 4.4, if any, in accordance with the
terms of the benefit plans in which Executive participates as of the date of termination; (iii) Executive’s accrued but unused and unpaid paid time off (to the extent payable as required by law), if any, as of the date of termination; and
(iv) expenses reimbursable under Section 4.5 incurred but not yet reimbursed to Executive as of the date of termination. 

5.1(b) Resignation by Executive for “Good Reason”. Resignation by Executive for “Good Reason” shall mean
(i) if the Employer, without Executive’s prior written consent thereto, reduces Executive’s Base Salary from the amount then in effect; (ii) relocation of Executive’s primary work place fifteen (15) miles or more from
the current location of the Employer’s office without Executive’s written consent; or (iii) material breach of this Agreement by the Employer, with the parties acknowledging and agreeing that a series of breaches may be aggregated to
become a material breach; provided that no resignation hereunder shall constitute resignation for Good Reason unless: (I) Executive gives written notice of the event constituting Good Reason to the Board within sixty (60) days of Executive
gaining actual knowledge of such event (which, solely with respect to subsection (iii), shall be deemed to be the date of the most recent breach); and (II) the Employer (or its successors or assigns) fails to cure such event, if curable, within
thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice of such event from Executive; and (III) Executive delivers written notice of resignation within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the cure period described in clause (II). If Executive’s
employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive: (a) Executive’s accrued but unused and unpaid paid time off, if any, as of the date of termination; (b) subject to timely (i.e., within the
timeframe for election under applicable law) Executive electing COBRA continuation coverage, reimbursement of Executive’s out-of-pocket COBRA premium payments for COBRA continuation coverage under the Employer’s group health plan for
Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents (plus a “gross up” amount equal to any income taxes owed by Executive to the extent such COBRA reimbursements are paid on an after-tax basis to comply with applicable tax law), in each
case until the 

  
 -4- 

 
earlier of (I) the end of the Severance Period or (II) the date on which Executive first becomes eligible for coverage under the health insurance plan of a new employer; and (c) for a
period equal to the Severance Period, beginning on the date of termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), Executive’s Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the date of the termination of
Executive’s employment, payable in installments in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Employer in effect on the date of termination. It is agreed and understood that Executive shall be entitled to receive the amounts set
forth in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 5.1(b) if and only if Executive has executed and delivered the Release to the Employer within the time limitations set forth in Section 6.3, the Release has become
effective, and so long as Executive has not revoked the Release within the time frame provided in Section 6 or materially breached the provisions of the Release, or Section 7 or Section 8 of this Agreement. 

5.2 Involuntary Termination by the Employer Without Cause. The Employment Period and Executive’s employment may be terminated by
Employer without Cause at any time upon prior written notice delivered to Executive effective as of the date set forth in such notice . In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 5.2, Executive shall be entitled to receive the
same payments and benefits set forth in Section 5.1(b); provided that, Executive shall be entitled to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (b) - (c) of Section 5.1(b) if and only if Executive has executed and
delivered the Release to the Employer within the time limitations set forth in Section 6.3, the Release has become effective, and so long as Executive has not revoked the Release and not materially breached the provisions of the Release,
or Section 7 or Section 8 of this Agreement. 
 5.3 Involuntary Termination by the Employer For Cause. The
Employment Period and Executive’s employment may be terminated by Employer for Cause at any time upon delivery to Executive of written notice (and effective on the date such notice is received by Executive unless other date is specified in such
notice). If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause, Executive shall be entitled to receive the same payments and benefits set forth in Section 5.1(a). 

5.4 Termination Due To Death or Disability. The Employment Period and Executive’s employment will terminate automatically upon
Executive’s death. The Employment Period and Executive’s employment will also terminate immediately upon a determination as provided below, that Executive has a Disability. As used herein, “Disability” means that Executive
is, in the opinion of the Board, unable to perform the essential functions of his position, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to legal, physical or mental incapacity, for a period beyond any protected leave to which Executive is entitled
under applicable law or under the Employer’s policies. The Employer will provide all applicable legally-required leaves to Executive, which shall be provided on an unpaid basis unless pay is otherwise required under applicable law. A
determination that Executive has a Disability shall not be arbitrary or unreasonable and the Board, in making such determination, shall take into consideration the opinion of Executive’s personal physician, if reasonably available, and any
other physician deemed appropriate by the Board, but such determination by the Board shall be final and binding on the Parties. This provision shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with all applicable laws, including laws regarding
workers’ compensation, disability, and family and medical leave laws. If Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.4, Executive or Executive’s heirs shall be entitled to receive the payments and
benefits set forth in Section 5.1(a). 
 5.5 Nonrenewal of Employment Period. The expiration of the Employment Period
shall not trigger any rights and shall not be treated as a termination by Employer. In the event of any termination of employment after the expiration of the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits set forth
in Section 5.1(a). 
 5.6 No Other Benefits. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Executive shall not be
entitled to any other salary, bonuses, employee benefits or compensation from the Employer or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of termination and all of Executive’s rights to salary, bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation
hereunder which would have accrued or become payable after the date of termination shall cease upon such termination or expiration, other than as expressly required under applicable law. 

5.7 Definition of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “termination” or “termination of
employment” shall have the same meaning given in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii). 

  
 -5- 

 6. Section 409A Compliance. 

6.1 Intent. The intent of the Parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.
In no event whatsoever shall the Employer be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A. 

6.2 Specified Employee. Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Executive is deemed on the date
of his separation from service to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A
payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment shall be made on the date which is the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s separation from service, and (ii) the date of
Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”) to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 6.2 (whether they would have
otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum without interest, and all remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the
normal payment dates specified for them herein. 
 6.3 Severance Payments Conditioned Upon General Release. Executive shall forfeit
all rights to severance payments pursuant to this Agreement unless Executive duly executes and delivers the General Release to the Employer (and the General Release is no longer subject to revocation) within sixty (60) days following the date
of Executive’s termination of employment. If the foregoing release is executed and delivered and no longer subject to revocation as provided in the preceding sentence, then to the extent any such cash payment to be provided is not
“deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, such payment shall commence upon the first scheduled payment date immediately after the date the release is executed and no longer subject to revocation (the “Release
Effective Date”). The first such cash payment shall include payment of all amounts that otherwise would have been due prior to the Release Effective Date under the terms of this Agreement applied as though such payments commenced
immediately upon Executive’s termination of employment, and any payments made thereafter shall continue as provided herein. To the extent any such payment to be provided is “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code

to receive any installment payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. 

6.6 Timing of Payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g.,
“payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date of termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Employer. 

7. Proprietary Information. 

7.1 Obligation to Maintain Confidentiality. Executive acknowledges that the continued success of the Employer and its Subsidiaries
(collectively, the “LoanDepot Group”) depends upon the use and protection of Proprietary Information. Executive further acknowledges that the Proprietary Information obtained by Executive during the course of Executive’s
employment with the Employer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates concerning the Business and the business and affairs of the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group is the property of Employer or such member of the LoanDepot Group,
including information concerning acquisition opportunities in, or reasonably related to, the Employer’s business or industry. Executive agrees to hold in strict confidence and in trust for the sole benefit of the Employer all Trade Secrets and
Proprietary Information to which he may have or has had access during the course of Executive’s employment with Employer and will not disclose any Proprietary Information, directly or indirectly, to anyone outside the LoanDepot Group, nor use,
copy, publish, summarize, or remove from the Employer’s premises such Proprietary Information (or remove from Employer premises any other property of Employer) except: (i) during Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to carry
out his responsibilities as an employee of Employer; (ii) after termination of his employment, as specifically authorized by the Board; or (iii) as required by law, provided that (unless he is prohibited by law from doing so) he first
gives Employer an opportunity to challenge such requirement before a court. Executive shall take reasonable and appropriate steps to safeguard Proprietary Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Executive
shall deliver to Employer upon the termination of his employment all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) embodying or relating to the Proprietary
Information, Work Product (as defined below) or the business or affairs of the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group (including, without limitation, all acquisition prospects, lists and contact information) which Executive may then possess
or have under his control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Employer acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s relationships, general knowledge, skills and expertise that existed or were developed by Executive prior
to and/or during Executive’s employment shall not constitute Proprietary Information, Trade Secrets, or Work Product, and the Employer agrees that Executive may use such relationships, general knowledge, skills and expertise after the his
employment; provided that, Proprietary Information, Trade Secrets, or Work Product shall continue to be protected as provided herein to the extent that the foregoing are not Executive’s relationships, general knowledge, skills and expertise
that existed prior to and/or during Executive’s employment. For purposes of illustration, if, during Executive’s employment, Executive creates software using his skills, general knowledge and expertise that existed prior to and/or during
Executive’s employment, then such software would be Work Product but the general knowledge, skills and expertise that were used in creating the software would not be Work Product, Proprietary Information or Trade Secrets. 

7.2 Ownership of Property. Executive acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements,
developments, methods, processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any confidential information) and all registrations or applications related thereto,
all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to the Business and Employer’s or any member of the LoanDepot Group’s actual or anticipated business, research and
development, or existing or future products or services and that are conceived, developed, contributed to, made, or reduced to practice by Executive (either solely or jointly with others) while 

  
 -7- 

 
employed by the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group, including any of the foregoing that constitutes any proprietary information or records (“Work Product”), belong to
the Employer or such member of the LoanDepot Group, and Executive hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, all of the above Work Product to the Employer or to such member of the LoanDepot Group. Any copyrightable work prepared in whole or in part by
Executive in the course of his work for any of the foregoing entities shall be deemed a “work made for hire” under the copyright laws (including the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101)), and the Employer or such
member of the LoanDepot Group shall own all rights therein. To the extent that any such copyrightable work is not a “work made for hire,” Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Employer or such member of the LoanDepot Group
all right, title, and interest, including without limitation, copyright in and to such copyrightable work. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Employer and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during
or after Executive’s employment), to establish and confirm the Employer’s or such member of the LoanDepot Group’s ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney, and other instruments) in Work
Product and copyrightable work identified by the Board. In accordance with the Labor Code of the State of California, Executive is hereby advised that this Section 7.2 regarding the LoanDepot Group’s ownership of Work Product does
not apply to any invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the LoanDepot Group was used and which was developed entirely on Executive’s own time, unless (a) at the time of conception or reduction
to practice of the invention, the invention relates to the business of the LoanDepot Group or to the LoanDepot Group’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development or (b) the invention results from any work performed by
Executive for the LoanDepot Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive understands that nothing in this agreement is intended to expand the scope of protection provided to him by Sections 2870 through 2872 of the Labor Code of the State of
California. 
 7.3 Third Party Information. Executive understands that the Employer and each member of the LoanDepot Group will
receive from third parties confidential or Proprietary Information (“Third Party Information”) that is subject to a duty on the Employer’s and each member of the LoanDepot Group’s part to maintain the confidentiality of
such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During Executive’s employment and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 7.1 above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the
strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel and consultants of the Employer or each member of the LoanDepot Group who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Employer or such member of the
LoanDepot Group) or use, except in connection with Executive’s work for the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by the Board in writing. 

7.4 Use of Information. During Executive’s employment, Executive will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information
or trade secrets, if any, of any Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and will not bring onto the premises of the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group any confidential information or trade secrets of any Person to
whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the Person. 
 7.5 Definition of Proprietary
Information. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Proprietary Information” shall mean all confidential, nonpublic, and proprietary information (whether or not specifically labeled or identified as “confidential”
or “proprietary,” but which is treated as confidential in practice), in any form or medium, of the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group or their respective suppliers, distributors, customers, potential customers, independent
contractors or other business relations. Proprietary Information shall include, but is not limited to, the following: (a) internal business information (including historical and projected financial information and, budgets and information
relating to, strategic and staffing plans and practices, training, promotional and sales plans, underwriting policies and systems, cost, rate and pricing structures, risk management practices, and negotiation strategies and practices);
(b) individual requirements of, specific contractual arrangements with, and information about, employees (including personnel files) of the Employer’s or any member of the LoanDepot Group’s employees (including personnel files and
other information), suppliers, distributors, customers, potential customers, independent contractors or other business relations and their confidential information; (c) Trade Secrets; (d) computer software, including operating systems,
applications and program listings, and systems and processes relating to lead and loan management; 

  
 -8- 

 
(e) inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, processes, designs, analyses, and reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable and whether or
not reduced to practice); and (f) all similar and related information in whatever form. For the avoidance of doubt, “Proprietary Information” shall not include Executive’s relationships, general knowledge, skills, and expertise
that existed or were developed by Executive prior to and/or during Executive’s employment or any information which (w) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach of this Agreement by Executive,
(x) is lawfully obtainable or available from sources other than the Employer, its Subsidiaries, their Affiliates or their respective personnel or independent contractors, or (y) is developed by Executive entirely on his own time without
using the Employer’s, its Subsidiaries’ or their Affiliates’ equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information and does not relate at the time of conception to the Employer’s or its Subsidiaries’ business, or
actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Employer or its Subsidiaries, or result from any work performed by Executive for the Employer, its Subsidiaries or their Affiliates. 

8. Protection of Trade Secrets and Nonsolicitation. Executive acknowledges that (a) Executive has become familiar with and
(b) in the course of Executive’s employment with the Employer and its Subsidiaries, Executive will become familiar with the Trade Secrets of the Business and the LoanDepot Group and that Executive’s services will be of special, unique
and extraordinary value to the Employer and that the Employer would be irreparably damaged if he were to breach his obligations under Section 7.1. Therefore, both Parties agree that, without limiting any other obligation pursuant to this
Agreement: 
 8.1 Nonsolicitation. During Executive’s employment and for a period of one year thereafter, Executive shall not
directly or indirectly through another Person (other than on behalf of the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group) solicit any employee, officer, broker of the LoanDepot Group who was among the top twenty brokers for the LoanDepot Group for
the twelve months prior to the date of determination (based upon funded loan volume), material consultant or material independent contractor (other than consultants or independent contractors serving as brokers, which will be subject to the
immediately preceding limitation on broker solicitation) of the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group, or, to leave the employ of, or terminate its affiliation with, the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group; provided
that Executive may place or may cause to be placed any general advertisements seeking job applicants which are not specifically directed at the employees of the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group and may receive and consider any
application from any employee, officer, broker or independent contractor of Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group that is not solicited by, or on behalf of, Executive. 

8.2 Definition of Trade Secrets. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Trade Secrets” means any and all
information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process that derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain
economic value from its disclosure or use, and is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. By way of illustration but not limitations, “Trade Secrets” include any confidential
information regarding plans for research, development, current and new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, production, carriers and customers and potential
customers. For the avoidance of doubt, “Trade Secrets” do not include: (x) any information which is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach of this Agreement by Executive, (y) any
information which is lawfully obtainable from a source other than from the Employer, its Subsidiaries, their Affiliates or their respective personnel or independent contractors or (z) any information which is developed by Executive entirely on
his own time without using the Employer’s, its Subsidiaries’ or their Affiliates’ equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret or confidential information and does not relate at the time of conception to the Employer’s or its
Subsidiaries’ business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Employer or its Subsidiaries, or result from any work performed by Executive for the Employer, its Subsidiaries or their Affiliates. 

8.3 Non-Disparagement by Executive. Executive agrees that Executive shall not disparage or
encourage others to disparage the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group or any of their respective past and present employees, directors, members, officers, managers, equityholders, products or services. For purposes of this
Section 8.3, the term “disparage” includes, without limitation, comments or statements to the press, to the Employer’s employees or to any Person with whom the Employer has a business relationship (including,

  
 -9- 

 
without limitation, any vendor, supplier, customer or distributor of the Employer) that are made with gross negligence or the intent to cause harm and that would adversely affect in any manner:
(a) the conduct of any business of the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group (including, without limitation, any business plans or prospects) or (b) the business reputation of the Employer or any member of the LoanDepot Group. 

8.4 Non-Disparagement by the Employer. The Employer agrees that it shall direct its officers
and directors not to disparage or encourage others to disparage Executive. For purposes of this Section 8.4, the term “disparage” includes, without limitation, comments or statements to the press, or to any Person with whom
Executive has a business or personal relationship (including, without limitation, any vendor, supplier, customer or distributor of the Employer) that are made with gross negligence or the intent to cause harm and would adversely affect the business
reputation of Executive. 
 8.5 Cooperation. Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Employer (including notice on behalf of
the Employer by its outside counsel), Executive agrees that while employed by the Employer and, subject to Executive’s other business commitments, thereafter, Executive will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which
Executive has knowledge as a result of Executive’s employment with the Employer and will provide reasonable assistance to the Employer and its representatives in defense of any claims that may be made against the Employer, and will assist the
Employer in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Employer, to the extent that such claims may relate to the period of Executive’s employment with the Employer. Executive agrees to promptly inform the Employer if Executive
becomes aware of any lawsuits involving such claims that may be filed or threatened against the Employer. Executive also agrees to promptly inform the Employer (to the extent Executive is legally permitted to do so) if Executive is asked to assist
in any investigation of the Employer (or its actions), regardless of whether a lawsuit or other proceeding has then been filed against the Employer with respect to such investigation, and shall not do so unless legally required. If Executive is
required to provide any services pursuant to this Section 8.5 following Executive’s employment, upon presentation of appropriate documentation, the Employer shall reimburse Executive for pre-approved, reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of such services. 

8.6 Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 7 or this Section 8, a court holds that the
restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration or scope reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period or scope and that the court may
revise such restrictions to cover the maximum duration or scope permitted by law and reasonable under such circumstances. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has access to Trade Secrets and Proprietary Information, the
parties hereto agree that the Employer and each member of the LoanDepot Group would be irreparably harmed by, and money damages would be an inadequate remedy for, any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach
of this Agreement, the Employer, any member of the LoanDepot Group and/or their respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, obtain specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in
order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security and without having to prove that there is not an inadequate remedy at law). Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting
the Employer from pursuing any other remedies available to it for breach or threatened breach, including recovery of damages. 
 8.7
Additional Acknowledgments Executive acknowledges that the provisions of Section 7 and this Section 8 are in consideration of employment with the Employer and additional good and valuable consideration as set forth in
this Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 7 and this Section 8 do not preclude Executive from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations
on Executive’s ability to earn a living. In addition, Executive acknowledges (a) that the business of the Employer will be conducted throughout the United States and its territories; (b) notwithstanding the state of organization or
principal office of the Employer, or any of its executives or employees (including the Executive), it is expected that the Employer will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within its industry throughout the United
States and its territories; and (c) as part of Executive’s responsibilities, Executive will be traveling throughout the United States and other jurisdictions where the Employer conducts business during Executive’s

  
 -10- 

 
employment in furtherance of the Employer’s business and its relationships. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to the Employer of non-enforcement of any provision of
Section 7 or this Section 8 outweighs any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and consulted with legal counsel of his
choosing regarding its contents, has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary
information of the Employer to which Executive gains access or otherwise becomes aware, whether now existing or developed in the future. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is
reasonable with respect to subject matter and time period.

after the termination of Executive’s employment. 

  

	8.	The Parties agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to Executive’s immediate

 Exhibit A-2- 

	9.	Any non-disclosure provision in this General Release does not prohibit or restrict Executive or the Company (or attorneys for either of the foregoing) from responding to any

self-regulatory organization or governmental entity. 

  

	10.	Executive hereby acknowledges that Sections 7 and 8 of the Agreement shall survive his execution of this General Release. 

 

	11.	The Parties acknowledge that the Executive Releasing Parties may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different than those which such Executive Releasing Parties now know or believe to exist with respect
to the subject matter of the Released Claims set forth in paragraph 1 above and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General Release, may have materially affected this General Release and the Executive’s decision to
enter into it. Nevertheless, the Executive hereby waives any right, claim or cause of action that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims or facts, and the Executive hereby expressly waives any and all rights and benefits
confirmed upon him by the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows: 

 “A GENERAL
RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO THE CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH DEBTOR.”

 Being aware of such provisions of law, the Executive agrees to expressly waive any rights the Executive Releasing Parties may have
thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect. 
  

	12.	Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company Released Parties
after the date hereof. 

  

	13.	Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in, such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed,
construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
