-7-

Registrable Securities. All registrations requested pursuant to this Section 2(a) are referred to herein as “Demand Registrations.” The Demand Party making a Demand Registration may request that the registration be made pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration”) and, if the Company is a WKSI at the time any request for a Demand Registration is submitted to the Company, that such Shelf Registration be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”). Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities the holder(s) making such request requested to be registered and the intended method of distribution. Within ten days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of the Demand Registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms of Section 2(e), shall include in such Demand Registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities or Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities requesting such registration, the Company may provide notice of the Demand Registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities within three business days following the non-confidential filing of the registration statement with respect to the Demand Registration so long as such registration statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of any notice of Demand Registration and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice of Demand Registration without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by such holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Long-Form Registrations. Each of the Demand Parties shall be entitled to three (3) Long-Form Registrations; provided that if the Company is not qualified to use any applicable short-form registration statement on or anytime following the first day of the calendar month immediately following the first anniversary of the loanDepot IPO, any requests for a Long-Form Registration made during such time shall not count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations unless and until such time the Company becomes so qualified. A Long-Form Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations until it has become effective (unless such Long-Form Registration has not become effective due solely to the fault of the holders requesting such registration). The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Long-Form Registration whether or not it has become effective and whether or not such registration has counted as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations. All sales of Registrable Securities under Long-Form Registrations shall be conducted as underwritten Public Offerings unless otherwise approved by the Demand Party requesting such registration.

(c) Short-Form Registrations. In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided pursuant to Section 2(b), each of the Demand Parties shall be entitled to an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Short-Form Registration whether or not it has become effective. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is eligible to use any applicable short-form registration statement and if the managing

-8-

underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the offer and sale of Registrable Securities as soon as possible and to remain qualified so that Short-Form Registrations continue to be available for such offer and sale.

(d) Shelf Registrations.

(i) On the first day of the calendar month immediately following the first anniversary of the loanDepot IPO, or as promptly as practicable after, the Company shall (A) if the Company is then-eligible to use any applicable short-form registration statement, file with the SEC one or more Short-Form Registrations, including an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, or (B) if the Company is not eligible to use any applicable short-form registration statement at such time, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC one or more Long-Form Registrations, in each case, covering the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities, which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, the offer and exchange of all Class A Shares deliverable by the Company from time to time to holders of Registrable Securities in exchange for such holders’ Holdco Units and Class B Shares pursuant to the Holdings LLC Agreement (a registration statement for such offer and exchange by the Company, the “Required Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the Required Shelf Registration Statement whether or not it has become effective.

(ii) As promptly as practicable after the Company receives written notice of a request for a Shelf Registration, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act for the Shelf Registration (a “Demand Shelf Registration Statement”). Any Demand Shelf Registration Statement and the Required Shelf Registration Statement are referred to herein each as a “Shelf Registration Statement.” The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and once effective, the Company shall cause such Shelf Registration Statement (A) in the case of a Demand Shelf Registration Statement, to remain continuously effective for such time period as is specified in such request; provided that for a Demand Shelf Registration Statement other than an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement (which will be subject to Section 5(a)(xxiii) instead) such requested time period shall not be longer than the period ending on the earliest of (x) the third anniversary of the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement, (y) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and (z) the date as of which there are no longer any Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement in existence and (B) in the case of the Required Shelf Registration Statement (which shall not be subject to Section 5(a)(xxiii) even if in the form of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement), to remain continuously effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration Statement, if necessary) until the earlier of (x) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Required Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Required Shelf Registration Statement and (y) the date as of which there are no longer in existence any Registrable Securities covered by the Required Shelf Registration Statement; provided that nothing set forth herein shall require the Company

-9-

to file a new Shelf Registration Statement or to keep effective the Required Shelf Registration Statement at any time during which the Company is ineligible to use a Short-Form Registration; provided further that at such time, pursuant to Section 2(d)(i), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to become and remain qualified to use Short-Form Registrations.

(iii) In the event that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective and for so long as it remains in effect, each of the Demand Parties shall have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell (whether through an underwritten Public Offering or any other method of distribution) their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement in an aggregate amount up to the number of Registrable Securities covered thereunder (“Shelf Registrable Securities”), and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith. Such Demand Party shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written request (a “Shelf Offering Request”) with respect to such offering specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that the holders desire to sell pursuant to such offering (the “Shelf Offering”). As promptly as practicable, but no later than two business days after receipt of a Shelf Offering Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Shelf Offering Notice”) of such Shelf Offering Request to all other holders of Shelf Registrable Securities. The Company, subject to Section 2(e) and Section 8 hereof, shall include in such Shelf Offering (x) the Shelf Registrable Securities specified in the Shelf Offering Request and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other holder of Shelf Registrable Securities that shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Shelf Offering (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder) within seven days after the receipt of the Shelf Offering Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible (and in any event within 20 days after the receipt of a Shelf Offering Request), but subject to Section 2(f) hereof, use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Offering. Each holder agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the Shelf Offering Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Shelf Offering Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

(iv) If a Demand Party wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade off of a Shelf Registration Statement (either through filing an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement or through a take-down from an already existing Shelf Registration Statement), then notwithstanding the time periods set forth in Section 2(d)(iii), such Demand Party shall notify the Company of the block trade Shelf Offering not less than two business days prior to the day such offering is to commence. The Company shall promptly notify other holders of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities or Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities, as the case may be, of such block trade Shelf Offering and such other holders of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities or Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities, as the case may be, must elect whether or not to participate by the next business day (i.e. one business day prior to the day such offering is to commence) (unless a longer period is agreed to by the Demand Party wishing to engage in the underwritten block trade) and the Company shall as expeditiously as

-10-

possible use its best efforts to facilitate such offering (which may close as early as three business days after the date it commences); provided that the Demand Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and the underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the underwritten block trade; provided further that no holder of Registrable Securities other than holders of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities or Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities shall be permitted to participate in an underwritten block trade Shelf Offering without the consent of a Demand Party.

(v) The Company shall, at the request of the Demand Party electing to sell Shelf Registrable Securities, file any prospectus supplement or any post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by such Demand Party to effect such Shelf Offering.

(e) Priority on Demand Registrations and Shelf Offerings. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration or Shelf Offering any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Demand Party initially requesting such registration. If a Demand Registration or a Shelf Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then such offering will include only the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities that the underwriters advise can be sold in such offering without any such adverse effect. The priority of securities that the Company shall include in such offering shall be as follows:

(i) first, (A) if such offering occurs prior to the Parthenon Non-Exclusive Date, the number of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities and Executive Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering, in such manner as in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, or (B) if such offering occurs on or after the Parthenon Non-Exclusive Date, the number of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities and Executive Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof based on the amount of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder relative to the total number of Registrable Securities held by all such holders of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities and Executive Registrable Securities requesting to include Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering as of the date the Company provided written notice of the Demand Registration or Shelf Offering Notice to the holders of Registrable Securities (while subject to each such holder of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities or Executive Registrable Securities including in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering no more than the number of Registrable Securities requested by such holder to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering), without distinguishing between holders based on who initially requested such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering or otherwise;

-11-

(ii) second, the number of Other Investor Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof based on the amount of Other Investor Registrable Securities owned by each such holder relative to the total number of Other Investor Registrable Securities held by all such holders of Other Investor Registrable Securities requesting to include Other Investor Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering as of the date the Company provided written notice of the Demand Registration or Shelf Offering Notice to the holders of Registrable Securities (while subject to each such holder of Other Investor Registrable Securities including in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering no more than the number of Other Investor Registrable Securities requested by such holder to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering); and

(iii) third, (if permitted by the Demand Party initially requesting such registration) any securities that are not Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering, in such manner as the Demand Party initially requesting such registration may determine.

Any persons other than holders of Registrable Securities who participate in Demand Registrations which are not at the Company’s expense must pay their share of the Registration Expenses as provided in Section 6.

(f) Restrictions on Demand Registration and Shelf Offerings. Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering (including a Shelf Offering) hereunder will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lock-up arrangements, and any such demand must be deferred until such lock-up arrangements no longer apply. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration or a previous registration in which (A) Registrable Securities were included pursuant to Section 3 or as part of a Shelf Offering pursuant to Section 2 and (B) there was no reduction in the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included.

(ii) The Company may postpone, for up to 90 days from the date of the request (the “Suspension Period”), the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Shelf Registrable Securities) by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities if the Company’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities or the disclosure required in connection therewith would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any Subsidiary to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction involving the Company; provided that in such event, (A) the holders of Registrable Securities

-12-

initially requesting such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering shall be entitled to withdraw such request, and if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the Demand Registrations such holder is entitled to hereunder and (B) the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering. The Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or a Shelf Offering pursuant to this Section 2(f)(ii) only once in any twelve-month period; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may in any event delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or a Shelf Offering in the case of an event described under Section 5(a)(vi)(C) to enable it to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 5(a)(vi)(C). The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive 60 days with the consent of the Demand Party initially requesting such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(iii) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration Statement as set forth in Section 2(f)(ii) above or pursuant to Section 5(a)(vi)(C) (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give a notice to the holders of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities. Such Suspension Notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and provide that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event is continuing. A holder of Registrable Securities shall not effect any sales of its Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by such holder of Registrable Securities in breach of the terms of this Agreement. A holder of Registrable Securities may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the holders and to the holders’ counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.

(iv) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(f), the Company agrees that it shall (A) extend the period of time during which such Shelf Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the holders of the End of Suspension Notice and (B) provide copies of the supplemented or amended Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Class A Shares covered by such Shelf Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities.

-13-

(g) Selection of Underwriters. The Demand Party initially requesting a filing of a registration statement for a registered offering hereunder shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the related underwritten offering, subject to the Company’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that if any such underwritten offering is a Shelf Offering, the Demand Party initially requesting such Shelf Offering shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such Shelf Offering, subject to the Company’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(h) Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the Company or any Subsidiary to register any Capital Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities and the holders of a majority of the Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities.

(i) Revocation of Demand Registration or Shelf Offering Notice. At any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration or the “pricing” of any Shelf Offering, the Demand Party that requested such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering may revoke such request for a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering without liability to such holders of Registrable Securities, in each case, by providing written notice to the Company. If a request for a Demand Registration is revoked by the Demand Party that requested such registration prior to the time it has become effective for reasons other than those relating to disclosure of information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is materially adverse to the Company or the trading price of the Class A Shares, such Demand Registration shall count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations hereunder unless the Demand Party that requested such registration reimburse the Company for all of the Registration Expenses incurred by the Company prior to such withdrawal.

Section 3. Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the registration of Class A Shares under the Securities Act for an underwritten public primary offering by the Company for the ultimate benefit of holders of Registrable Securities (i.e., where the Company primarily uses the proceeds from the sale of Class A Shares issued by the Company in an underwritten Public Offering to purchase Registrable Securities from holders of Registrable Securities (a “Synthetic Secondary Offering”)), other than (i) pursuant to a Demand Registration or a Shelf Registration (including any related Shelf Offering), in which case the ability of a holder of Registrable Securities to participate in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering shall be governed by Section 2, (ii) in connection with the issuance by the Company of Class A Shares in the loanDepot IPO (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option granted to the managing underwriters), (iii) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the SEC (or any successor or similar forms), (iv) in connection with a registration the primary purpose of which is to register debt securities (i.e., in connection with a so-called “equity kicker”), (v) a registration on any form that does not

-14-

include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities), or (vi) pursuant to the Required Shelf Registration Statement, and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Section 3(c) and Section 3(d), shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after delivery of the Company’s notice; provided that a Demand Party may provide by written notice to the Company that no holder of Other Investor Registrable Securities or any securities that are not Registrable Securities will have the right to include such securities in such Piggyback Registration (in which case the Company need not give such notice to such holders or include any such securities in such Piggyback Registration).

(b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with all Piggyback Registrations shall be paid by the Company, whether or not any such registration became effective or offerings conducted pursuant thereto have closed.

(c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is for an underwritten primary offering by the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then such offering will include only the number of securities that the underwriters advise can be sold in such offering without any such adverse effect. The priority of securities that the Company shall include in such offering shall be as follows:

(i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell;

(ii) second, (A) if such offering occurs prior to the Parthenon Non-Exclusive Date, the number of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities and Executive Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering, in such manner as in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, or (B) if such offering occurs on or after the Parthenon Non-Exclusive Date, the number of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities and Executive Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof based on the amount of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder relative to the total number of Registrable Securities held by all such holders of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities and Executive Registrable Securities requesting to include Registrable Securities in such offering as of the date the Company provided written notice of the Piggyback Registration to the holders of Registrable Securities (while subject to each such holder of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities or Executive Registrable Securities including in such offering no more than the number of Registrable Securities requested by such holder to be included in such offering);

-15-

(iii) third, the number of Other Investor Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof based on the amount of Other Investor Registrable Securities owned by each such holder relative to the total number of Other Investor Registrable Securities held by all such holders of Other Investor Registrable Securities requesting to include Other Investor Registrable Securities in such offering as of the date the Company provided written notice of the Piggyback Registration to the holders of Registrable Securities (while subject to each such holder of Other Investor Registrable Securities including in such offering no more than the number of Other Investor Registrable Securities requested by such holder to be included in such offering); and

(iv) fourth, (if permitted by the Company) other securities requested to be included in such offering, in such manner as the Company may determine.

(d) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is for an underwritten secondary offering by or on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities other than Registrable Securities (including a Synthetic Secondary Offering, with any such Synthetic Secondary Offering being deemed an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities solely for purposes of this Agreement) (it being understood that Demand Registrations and Shelf Registrations (including any related Shelf Offerings) by or on behalf of holders of Registrable Securities are addressed in Section 2 rather than in this Section 3(d)), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then such offering will include only the number of securities that the underwriters advise can be sold in such offering without any such adverse effect. The priority of securities that the Company shall include in such offering shall be as follows:

(i) first, the securities requested to be included in such offering by the holders initially requesting such registration;

-16-

Securities (while subject to each such holder of Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities or Executive Registrable Securities including in such offering no more than the number of Registrable Securities requested by such holder to be included in such offering);

(iv) fourth, (if permitted by the Company) any other securities requested to be included in such offering, in such manner as the Company may determine.

(e) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is in connection with an underwritten offering, the selection of investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering must be approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, if any, included in such Piggyback Registration (inclusive of, in the case of a Synthetic Secondary Offering, the ultimate holders for whose benefit such Synthetic Secondary Offering is conducted). Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 6.

Section 4. Holdback Agreements.

(a) Holders of Registrable Securities. If requested by the managing underwriter(s) of an underwritten Public Offering, each holder of Registrable Securities shall enter into lock-up agreements with such managing underwriter(s) that provides for the following unless such managing underwriter(s) otherwise agree in writing:

(i) in connection with all underwritten Public Offerings after the loanDepot IPO, such holder shall not (A) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including sales pursuant to Rule 144), directly or indirectly, any Capital Stock of the Company (including Capital Stock of the Company that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by such holder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC), or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such Capital Stock of the Company (collectively, “Securities”), (B) enter into a transaction

-17-

which would have the same effect as described in clause (A) above, (C) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Securities, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Securities, in cash or otherwise (each of (A), (B) and (C) above, a “Sale Transaction”), commencing on the date requested by the managing underwriters (which shall be no earlier than ten days prior to the anticipated “pricing” date for such underwritten offering) and continuing to a date that is no later than 90 days following the date of the final prospectus for such Public Offering (a “Follow-On Holdback Period”), except as otherwise agreed to by the managing underwriters and except for sales made as part of such underwritten Public Offering and such other exceptions for dispositions and other transfers as may be agreed upon by the holder and the managing underwriters in connection with such Public Offering; and

(ii) in the event that (A) the Company issues an earnings release or discloses other material information or a material event relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries occurs during the last 17 days of any Follow-On Holdback Period or (B) prior to the expiration of any Follow-On Holdback Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning upon the expiration of such period, then to the extent necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of a registered offering hereunder to comply with NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) of the FINRA Manual, the Follow-On Holdback Period shall be extended until 18 days after the earnings release or disclosure of other material information or the occurrence of the material event, as the case may be (a “Holdback Extension”).

The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Class A Shares (or other securities) subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4(a) until the end of such period, including any Holdback Extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Registrable Securities that are not Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, no holder of Registrable Securities that is not an officer or director of the Company shall be subject to the Follow-On Holdback Period in connection with an underwritten block trade Shelf Offering unless such holder of Registrable Securities was provided notice one day prior to such underwritten block trade Shelf Offering and provided the opportunity to participate therein; provided that if such holder of Registrable Securities was provided the opportunity to participate therein, such holder shall be subject to the Follow-On Holdback Period regardless of whether such holder elects to participate in such underwritten block trade Shelf Offering, unless the managing underwriters of such underwritten block trade Shelf Offering otherwise agree in writing.

(b) The Company, Directors and Executive Officers. The Company (i) shall not file any registration statement for a Public Offering or cause any such registration statement to become effective, or effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities, options or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (for purposes of this Section 4(b), the words “Class A Shares” shall be replaced with the words “Capital Stock of the Company” in the definition of “Public Offering”) during any Follow-On Holdback Period, as extended during any Holdback Extension, and (ii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause (A) each holder of at least 1% (on a fully-diluted, as converted and as-exchanged to Class A Shares basis) of its Class A Shares, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Class A Shares, purchased from the Company at any time after

-18-

the date of this Agreement (other than in a Public Offering) and (B) each of its directors and executive officers to agree not to effect any Sale Transaction during any Follow-On Holdback Period (as extended by any Holdback Extension), except as part of such Public Offering and such other exceptions for dispositions and other transfers as may be agreed upon by the holder, directors, executive officers, and the managing underwriters, as applicable, in connection with such Public Offering, unless the managing underwriters of such Public Offering otherwise agree in writing.

(xvi) cooperate with the holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends), if applicable, representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, or the removal of any restrictive legends associated with any account at which such securities are held and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter, or agent, if any, or such holders may request;

(xvii) cooperate with each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;

-22-

(xxii) if the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold; and

(xxiii) if an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the third year, refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, use its best efforts to refile the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such registration statement effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration Statement, if necessary) until the earlier of (A) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and (B) the date as of which there are no longer any Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement in existence.

(e) If a Parthenon Investor, a Hsieh Investor or any of their respective Affiliates seek to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of their respective Registrable Securities to their respective direct or indirect equityholders, the Company shall, subject to any applicable lock-ups, work with the foregoing persons to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested.

untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document or communication (in this Section 7, collectively called an “application”) executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. In addition, the Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in any registration statement, any prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein or by such holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same prior to any written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities. In connection with an underwritten Public Offering, the Company shall indemnify the underwriters for such Public Offering, their officers and directors, and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified Parties.

(b) By Each Security Holder. In connection with any offering or distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its officers, directors, employees and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus (including a preliminary prospectus) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(c) Claim Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall impair any Person’s right to

-25-

indemnification hereunder only to the extent such failure has prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration if such holders are indemnified parties, at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to, or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if the contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account such equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject hereof. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Release. No indemnifying party shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

-26-

(f) Non-exclusive Remedy; Survival. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Section 8. Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement filed hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to select and approve the underwriters for such offering (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any such underwritten offering shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto that are materially more burdensome than those provided in Section 7. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such holder’s obligations under Section 4, Section 5 and this Section 8 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 4 and this Section 8, the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement shall supersede the respective rights and obligations of the holders, the Company and the underwriters created pursuant to this Section 8.

Section 9. Additional Parties; Joinder. Subject to the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities and the holders of a majority of the Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities, the Company may permit any Person who acquires Class A Shares or rights to acquire Class A Shares from the Company (including, without limitation, Class A Shares that are issuable by means of an exchange of Holdco Units and Class B Shares by such Person pursuant to the terms of the Holdings LLC Agreement) after the date hereof to become a party to this Agreement and to succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a “holder of Registrable Securities” under this Agreement by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder by such Person, the Class A Shares or rights to acquire Class A Shares acquired by such Person (the “Acquired Class A Shares”) shall be Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities, Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities, Executive Registrable Securities or Other Investor Registrable Securities, as the case may be hereunder, such Person shall be a “holder of Registrable Securities” under this Agreement with respect to the Acquired Class A Shares, and the Company shall add such Person’s name and address to the appropriate schedule hereto and circulate such information to the parties to this Agreement.

-27-

Section 10. Current Public Information. At all times after the Company has filed a registration statement with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as any holder or holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (but only to the extent Rule 144 is available to such holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any such sale of Registrable Securities to the public) or pursuant to such registration statement. Upon request, the Company shall deliver to any holder of Restricted Securities a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 11. Subsidiary Public Offering. If, after an initial Public Offering of the Capital Stock of one of its Subsidiaries, the Company distributes securities of such Subsidiary to its equity holders, then the rights and obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Subsidiary, and the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with such Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 12. Transfer of Registrable Securities.

(a) Restrictions on Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except in the case of (i) a transfer to the Company or a Subsidiary, (ii) a transfer by any Parthenon Investor to its limited partners or members, (iii) a transfer by any Hsieh Investor, Executive or their respective Affiliates or Family Group to such Person’s Family Group, (iv) a Public Offering, (v) a sale pursuant to Rule 144 after the completion of the loanDepot IPO or (vi) a transfer in connection with a Sale of the Company (clauses (i) through (v), collectively, the “Exempted Transfers”), prior to transferring any Registrable Securities to any Person (including, without limitation, by operation of law), the transferring holder shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Any transferee of Registrable Securities made pursuant to any of the Exempted Transfers shall be deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities that are entitled to the rights under this Agreement. Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Registrable Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Registrable Securities as the owner thereof for any purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, no such purported transferee shall be deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities that are entitled to any rights under this Agreement.

(b) Legend. Any certificate evidencing any Registrable Securities and any certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer of any Registrable Securities (unless such Registrable Securities would no longer be Registrable Securities after such transfer) or any account at which such Registrable Securities are held shall be stamped or otherwise designated with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF ,

-28-

AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “COMPANY”) AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

The Company shall imprint or otherwise designate such legend on any certificates evidencing Registrable Securities outstanding or any account at which such Registrable Securities are held prior to the date hereof. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities or any account at which such securities are held, as applicable. Unless such securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities have been delegended pursuant to Section 5(a)(xvi), the Company shall cooperate with the holders of such securities to (i) facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive legends representing such securities or the removal of any restrictive legends associated with any account at which such securities are held, as applicable, and (ii) if applicable, enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the holders may request.

Section 13. General Provisions.

(a) Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company, LD Holdings, the holders of a majority of the Parthenon Investor Registrable Securities and the holders of a majority of the Hsieh Investor Registrable Securities; provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver that would materially and adversely affect a holder or group of holders of Registrable Securities in a manner materially different than any other holder or group of holders of Registrable Securities (other than amendments and modifications required to implement the provisions of Section 9), shall be effective against such holder or group of holders of Registrable Securities without the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are held by the group of holders that is materially and adversely affected thereby. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.

(b) Remedies. The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

-29-

(c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(d) Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the Holdings LLC Agreement, Stockholders Agreement and herein, this Agreement contains the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(e) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to Section 12(a), this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns, LD Holdings and its successors and assigns, and the holders of Registrable Securities and their respective successors and permitted assigns (whether so expressed or not). In addition, whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of purchasers or holders of Registrable Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities who hold such Registrable Securities pursuant to a transfer made in accordance with this Agreement.

(f) Notices. Any notice, demand or other communication to be given under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; but if not, then on the next business day, (iii) one business day after it is sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) or (iv) three business days after it is mailed to the recipient by first class mail, return receipt requested.

(m) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.

(n) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
