MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 30, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Xxxxxxx Sachs Bank USA, a New York State-chartered bank, as buyer (“Buyer”), HPFC Sub 1 LLC (“HPFC Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (“Seller”), and Home Point Financial Corporation (“HPFC”), a New Jersey corporation, as guarantor (“Guarantor”).

RECITALS

A. Buyer, Home Point Financial Corporation, as seller (the “Original Seller”) and Guarantor are parties to that certain Master Repurchase Agreement (as further amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time before the date hereof, the “Existing Repurchase Agreement”), dated as of March 24, 2021 (the “Initial Closing Date”).

B. Buyer, Original Seller and Guarantor wish to amend and restate the Existing Repurchase Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date, as provided herein.

C. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Existing Repurchase Agreement, from and after the Initial Closing Date until the Effective Date, Original Seller requested Buyer to enter into transactions with Original Seller whereby Original Seller could, from time to time, sell to Buyer certain Eligible Mortgage Loans (including in each case and without limitation all of Original Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the related Servicing Rights), against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to sell to Original Seller such Eligible Mortgage Loans at a date certain or on demand after the Purchase Date, against the transfer of funds by Original Seller. From and after the Effective Date, Seller has requested Buyer to enter into transactions with Seller whereby Seller may, from time to time, sell to Buyer a Participation Interest representing one hundred percent (100%) beneficial ownership in certain Eligible Mortgage Loans (including in each case and without limitation all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the related Servicing Rights and/or other mortgage related assets and interests), against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to sell to Seller such purchased assets at a date certain or on demand after the Purchase Date, against the transfer of funds by Seller (each such transaction, a “Transaction”). On the Effective Date, the Participation Interest in Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction under the Existing Repurchase Agreement immediately before the execution of the Agreement will be transferred and sold by the Seller to Buyer hereunder.

D. Buyer has agreed to enter into such Transactions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

E. Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Seller hereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual rights and obligations provided herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, Seller, Guarantor and Buyer agree as follows:

being understood that this clause (ii) does not expand Buyer’s rights to sell such Purchased Assets beyond the rights otherwise afforded to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) the date as of which Buyer determines that such Transactions are unlawful to maintain. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to any actions taken by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.4 and (c) Seller’s obligation to pay any Non-Usage Fee, Exit Fee or Minimum Utilization Fee shall terminate upon such determination and Buyer shall reimburse Seller a pro-rated portion of the Upfront Fee based on the number of days remaining prior to the Expiration Date.

4.5 Increased Costs.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer determines in good faith that any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (i) subjects Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Purchased Assets or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof, in each case excluding any Indemnified Taxes (which shall be governed by Section 12.3), Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes, (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of Transactions or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Applicable Pricing Rate hereunder, or (iii) imposes on Buyer any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer reasonably deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, either (1) terminate all of the Transactions and repurchase all of the Purchased Assets or (2) promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred.

(b) If Buyer has determined in good faith that the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other

Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, either (1) terminate all of the Transactions and repurchase all of the Purchased Assets or (2) promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate Buyer for such reduction.

If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.5, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, provided that if Buyer fails to give notice to Seller of the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes within 120 days following its receipt of actual written notice of the imposition of such Taxes, there will be no obligation for Seller to pay interest or penalties attributable to the period beginning after such 120th day and ending seven (7) days after Seller receives notice from Buyer.
