Exhibit 10.29

Dear               :

     This letter agreement amends the employment agreement dated      , from EverBank Financial
Corp (the “Employment Agreement”).

     The purpose of this letter is to amend the Employment Agreement to reflect the legal
requirements under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable advice and
regulations issued thereunder. Section 409A has a far-reaching impact on all types of deferred
compensation plans. It covers not only traditional non-qualified deferred compensation plans, but
also employment and severance arrangements. Section 409A applies to your Employment Agreement with
the Company because you have certain continuing rights and benefits should your employment with the
Company terminate under certain circumstances.

     The burden for non-compliance with Section 409A falls on the individual, not on the Company.
Non-compliance can result in immediate taxation of deferred amounts plus an additional tax of 20%.
The Company’s Compensation Committee has approved this amendment to your Employment Agreement to
minimize the possibility that you could be assessed a 20% additional tax and other penalties in
connection with receiving benefits under the agreement. The proposed amendments are not intended
to alter the substantive terms of your post employment benefits or change the amount of your
benefits; however, the proposed amendments place certain parameters on the time and form of
payments or benefits in order to comply with the terms of Section 409A and thus avoid liability for
you.

     In order to be compliant with Section 409A, this letter must be accepted by you and returned
to me by      .

     The Employment Agreement is amended by this letter only to the extent that any of the terms of
the Employment Agreement conflict with the terms of this letter, in which case the terms of this
letter shall supercede the prior terms of the Employment Agreement. All other terms of the
Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Compliance with Section 409A.

          (a)  This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or
benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or
compliant with the requirements Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and applicable
advice and regulations issued thereunder.

          (b)  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this

 

 

Agreement comply with Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the
maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance
therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) if at the time of the Employee’s
termination of employment with the Company, the Employee is a “specified employee” as defined in
Section 409A and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable
hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any
accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Company will defer the commencement of
the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or
benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Employee) until the date that is six (6) months
following the Employee’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is
permitted under Section 409A); (ii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to the
Employee hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section
409A, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other
benefits compliant under Section 409A, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be
restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Board that does not cause such
an accelerated or additional tax; (iii) to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated
taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, the Employee shall not be considered to have
terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement and no payment shall be due
to the Employee under this Agreement until the Employee would be considered to have incurred a
“separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A; and (iv) each amount
to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement, which constitute
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified payment
for purposes of Section 409A. To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax
under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to the Employee under this Agreement shall be paid to the
Employee on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred
and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to the
Employee) during any one year may not effect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent
year; provided, however, that with respect to any reimbursements for any taxes which the Employee
would become entitled to under the terms of this Agreement, the payment of such reimbursements
shall be made by the Company no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year
in which the Employee remits the related taxes. The Company shall consult with the Employee in
good faith regarding the implementation of the provisions of this Section 20(b); provided that
neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to the
Employee with respect to thereto.

          (c)  Whenever in this Agreement the provision of payment or benefit is conditioned on
Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a waiver and release of claims, such waiver and release
must be executed, and all revocation periods must have expired, within sixty (60) days after the
date of termination of Employee’s employment, but the Company may elect to commence payment at any
time during such sixty (60)-day period, provided, however, to the extent that the payment or
benefit is “deferred compensation” within the meaning of and subject to Section 409A, such payment
shall be made in the later year if the sixty (60) day period spans two taxable years.
