 Dear Sirs: 
 FBR Capital Markets Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and Arlington Asset Investment Corp., a Virginia
corporation formerly known as Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group, Inc. (“Arlington Asset”), and FBR Securities Investment HY, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arlington Asset Investment Corp.
(“FBR Securities,” and together with Arlington Asset, the “Selling Stockholders”), each confirms its agreement with each of the Underwriters listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the
“Underwriters”), for which FBR Capital Markets & Co. and Barclays Capital Inc. are acting as representatives (in such capacity, the “Representatives”), with respect to (i) the sale of
12,830,450 shares (the “Initial Shares”) of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), to be sold by the Selling Stockholders, and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting
severally and not jointly, of the respective number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule I hereto, and (ii) the grant of the option described in Section 1(b) hereof to purchase

number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the names of each of the Underwriters listed in Schedule I hereto. The Initial Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and all or any part of the Option Shares subject to the option

 The Company and
the Selling Stockholders understand that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Shares as soon as the Underwriters deem advisable after this Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”) has been executed and
delivered. 
 The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a
registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-161416), including a related prospectus, for the registration of the Shares, which registration statement incorporates by reference documents which the Company has filed, or will file, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”). The Company has prepared and filed such amendments to the registration
statement and such amendments or supplements to the related preliminary prospectus as may have been required to the date hereof, and will file such additional amendments or supplements as may hereafter be required. The registration statement has
been declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission. The registration statement, as amended at the time it was declared effective by the Commission (and, if the Company files a post-effective amendment to such registration statement
which becomes effective prior to the Closing Time (as defined below), such registration

statement as so amended) and including all information deemed to be a part of the registration statement pursuant to incorporation by reference, Rule 430B of the Securities Act Regulations

Supplement (as defined below) filed with the Commission by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations, including all information incorporated by reference in either such prospectus, is hereinafter called the
“Preliminary Prospectus.” The term “Basic Prospectus” means the final prospectus covering the Company’s common stock to be sold by certain selling stockholders, dated September 16, 2009, as first filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations, and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto including all information incorporated by reference therein. The term “Prospectus Supplement”
means the final prospectus supplement, relating to the Shares, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations on or before the second business day after the date hereof (or such earlier time
as may be required under the Securities Act), in the form furnished by the Company for use by the Underwriters and by dealers in connection with the offering of the Shares, and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto including all information
incorporated by reference therein. The term “Prospectus” means the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement. 
 The Commission has not issued any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus. 
 The term “Disclosure Package” means (i) the Basic Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus identified in Schedule III hereto, as most recently amended or supplemented
immediately prior to the Initial Sale Time (as defined herein), together with the information set forth in Item 3 of Schedule III hereto, (ii) the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below), if any, identified in

Securities Act Regulations. The term “Free Writing Prospectus” means any free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act Regulations. 
 The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters hereby each agrees as follows: 
  

	1.	Sale and Purchase:

and other terms and conditions herein set forth, at the purchase price per share of Common Stock set forth in paragraph (a) above, FBR Securities hereby grants an option to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, to purchase from

	8.	Termination: 

 The
obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, at any time prior to the Closing Time or any Option Closing Time, as applicable, if (i) any of the conditions
specified in Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement to be fulfilled, (ii) there has been since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or

(iii) there has occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis or change in economic, political or other conditions, the effect of which on the United States or international financial
markets is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable to market the Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, (iv) trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or by
The Nasdaq Global Select Market, or if trading generally on The New York Stock Exchange or in The Nasdaq Global Select Market has been suspended (including an automatic halt in trading pursuant to market-decline triggers, other than those in which
solely program trading is temporarily halted), or limitations on prices for trading (other than limitations on hours or numbers of days of trading) have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by such exchange or
FINRA by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, (v) there has been any downgrade in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities or preferred stock by any “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act), (vi) any federal, state, local or foreign statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority has been enacted, published,
decreed or otherwise promulgated which, in the reasonable opinion of the Representatives, materially adversely affects or will materially adversely affect the business or operations of the Company, or (vii) any action has been taken by any
federal, state, local or foreign government or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs which, in the reasonable opinion of the Representatives, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the securities markets in
the United States. 
 If the Representatives elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 8, the Company,
each Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters shall be notified promptly by telephone, promptly confirmed by facsimile. 
 If
the sale to the Underwriters of the Shares, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement or if such sale is not carried out because the Company or any Selling Stockholder
shall be unable to comply in all material respects with any of the terms of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Selling Stockholder shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in
Sections 6 and 10 hereof) and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company or any Selling

  

 24 








 
Stockholder under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 10 hereof) or to one another hereunder. 
  

	9.	Increase in Underwriters’ Commitments: 

 If any Underwriter shall default at the Closing Time or any Option Closing Time in its obligation to take up and pay for the Shares to be purchased by it under this Agreement on such date, the
Representatives shall have the right, within 36 hours after such default, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares which such
Underwriter shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for (the “Defaulted Shares”). Absent the completion of such arrangements within such 36-hour period, (i) if the total number of Defaulted Shares does not exceed 10% of
the total number of Shares to be purchased on such date, each non-defaulting Underwriter shall take up and pay for (in addition to the number of Shares which it is otherwise obligated to purchase on such date pursuant to this Agreement) the portion
of the total number of Shares agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter on such date in the proportion that its underwriting obligations hereunder bears to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters; and (ii) if
the total number of Defaulted Shares exceeds 10% of such total, the Representatives may terminate this Agreement by notice to the Company and each Selling Stockholder, without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of
Sections 6 and 10 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. 
 Without relieving any
defaulting Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Company and each Selling Stockholder agree with the non-defaulting Underwriters that they will not sell any Shares hereunder on such date unless all of the Shares to be purchased on such
date are purchased on such date by the Underwriters (or by substituted Underwriters selected by the Representatives with the approval of the Company or selected by the Company with the approval of the Representatives). 
 If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted for a defaulting Underwriter in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company or
the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or the relevant Option Closing Time for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statement and Prospectus and
other documents may be effected. 
 The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include
any Underwriter substituted under this Section 9 with the same effect as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in this Agreement. 
  

	10.	Indemnity and Contribution by the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters: 

 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter and each Selling Stockholder (with respect to
subclauses (ii), (iv) and (v) below only) and any person who controls any Underwriter or the Selling Stockholders, as applicable within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and
the respective directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of each Underwriter or Selling Stockholder, as applicable, from and against any loss, expense, liability, damage or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which,
jointly or severally, any such Underwriter, Selling Stockholder or controlling person, as the case may be, may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, liability, damage or claim arises out of or
is based upon (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained herein, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or

  

 25

Show”), (iii) any application or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, executed by the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed with the Commission or any securities
association or securities exchange (each an “Application”), (iv) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in any such Registration Statement, or necessary to make the statements made
therein not misleading, (v) any omission or alleged omission in any such Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Issuer Information, any Non-Prospectus Road
Show or any Application of a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any audio or visual materials used in connection with the marketing of the Shares, including, without limitation, slides, videos, films and tape recordings; except, in the case of (ii), (iv) and (v) above, for any such loss,
expense, liability, damage or claim that arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information furnished in writing by the
Underwriters through the Representatives or a Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, to the Company expressly for use in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Application. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 10(a) shall be
in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. 
 (b) Each Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless each Underwriter and the Company (with respect to subclauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) below only) and any person who controls any Underwriter or the Company, as applicable, within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter or the Company, as applicable, from and against any loss, expense, liability, damage or claim (including the
reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, any such Underwriter, the Company, or controlling person, as the case may be, may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, liability,
damage or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such Selling Stockholder contained herein, as applicable, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in (A) the Registration Statement (or any amendment), (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed or was required to file with the Commission, or (C) the Prospectus, or (D) any Application,
(iii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in such Registration Statement, or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, or (iv) any omission or alleged omission from any such
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Prospectus or any Application of a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, in the case of

and in conformity with information furnished in writing by such Selling Stockholder to the Company expressly for use in such Registration Statement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (if any), Prospectus or Application; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (b) shall not require any Selling Stockholder to reimburse the Underwriters, the Company or any controlling person, as the case may be, for any amount in excess of the gross sale price
of the Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 10(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Selling Stockholder may otherwise have. 
 If any action is brought against an Underwriter, a Selling Stockholder, the Company or controlling person in respect of which indemnity may
be sought against the Company or a Selling

  

 26 








 
Stockholder pursuant to subsection (a) or subsection (b) above, such Underwriter, the Selling Stockholder or the Company, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Company or the
Selling Stockholder, as applicable, in writing of the institution of such action, and the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as applicable, shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel and payment of expenses;
provided, however, that any failure or delay to so notify the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as applicable, will not relieve the Company or the Selling Stockholders, as applicable, of any obligation hereunder, except to the extent
that its ability to defend is actually impaired by such failure or delay. Such Underwriter, such Selling Stockholder, the Company, or controlling person, as the case may be, shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter, such Selling Stockholder, the Company or such controlling person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Company or the
Selling Stockholder, as applicable, in connection with the defense of such action, or the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable, shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time or
such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Company or such Selling
Stockholder, as applicable (in which case neither the Company nor such Selling Stockholder shall have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall
be borne by the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable, and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that neither the Company nor such Selling Stockholder shall be liable for the expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys for each of the Underwriters, the Selling Stockholders, the Company or controlling persons, as the case may be, in any one action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction (other than local counsel in any such jurisdiction)
representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Company nor any Selling Stockholder shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected
without its consent. 
 (c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Company and each Selling Stockholder, and any person who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder, as applicable, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, including, without
limitation, the Company’s directors, the Company’s officers that signed the Registration Statement, the Selling Stockholders, and each of their respective officers and directors, from and against any loss, expense, liability, damage or
claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which the Company, any Selling Stockholder or any such person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, liability, damage or claim arises
out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed or was required to file
with the Commission, or the Prospectus, or any Application, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in any such Registration Statement, or necessary to make the statements made therein not
misleading, or (iii) any omission or alleged omission from any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Prospectus or any Application of a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, but in each case only insofar as such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration Statement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (if any), Prospectus or
Application in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by the Underwriters through the Representatives to the Company expressly for use therein. The statements set forth in the paragraphs regarding syndicate short sales
and stabilizing transactions under the caption “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (to the extent such statements relate to the Underwriters) constitute the only information furnished by
or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives to the Company for purposes of Section 3(m) and Section 3(n) and this Section 10. 
  

 27 








 If any action is brought against the Company, any Selling Stockholder or any such person in
respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Company, such Selling Stockholder or such person shall promptly notify the Representatives in writing of the institution of such action and the
Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel and payment of expenses. The Company, such Selling Stockholder or such person shall have the right to employ its own counsel
in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, the Selling Stockholders or such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Representatives in
connection with the defense of such action or the Representatives shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded (based on
the advice of counsel) that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Underwriters (in which case the Representatives shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action
on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such Underwriter and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Underwriters shall not be liable for the expenses of more
than one separate firm of attorneys in any one action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction (other than local counsel in any such jurisdiction) representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). Anything in this
paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, no Underwriter shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without the written consent of the Representatives. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 10 in respect of any losses, expenses, liabilities, damages or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, expenses, liabilities, damages or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company,
such Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, of such Selling Stockholder and of the Underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses,
liabilities, damages or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, such Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds
from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, bear to the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters.
The relative fault of the Company, of the Selling Stockholders and of the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission relates to information supplied by the Company, by the Selling Stockholder or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The
amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or
defending any claim or action. 
 (e) The Company, each Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d)(i) and, if applicable (ii), above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting
discounts and commissions applicable to

  

 28 








 
the Shares purchased by such Underwriter and no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the gross sale price of the Shares sold by the Selling Stockholder
pursuant to this Agreement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 12(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint. 
 (f) Without limitation of and in addition to its obligations under the other paragraphs of this Section, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P.
(in the capacity described in this paragraph, the “Independent Underwriter”), its directors, officers and employees and each person who controls the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
from and against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to the purchase and sale of the Shares) to which
the Independent Underwriter, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, the Independent
Underwriter’s acting as a “qualified independent underwriter” (within the meaning of NASD Conduct Rule 2720) in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party
promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Independent Underwriter. The relative benefits received by the Independent Underwriter with respect to the offering contemplated by this Agreement shall, for purposes of this Section 10(f), be deemed to be equal to the
compensation received by the Independent Underwriter for acting in such capacity. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10(e), the Independent Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
compensation received by the Independent Underwriter for acting in such capacity. 
  

	11.	Survival: 

 The indemnity
and contribution agreements contained in Section 10 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders contained in Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 12 and 13 of this Agreement, as well as this Section, shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act,
and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors and officers, each Selling Stockholder or any person who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Shares. The Company, each Selling Stockholder and each Underwriter agree
promptly to notify the others of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of the Company’s officers and directors, in connection with the sale and delivery of the Shares, or in
connection with the Registration Statement or Prospectus. 
  

	12.	Research Analyst Independence: 

 The Company and each Selling Stockholder acknowledges that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain
regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’

  

 29 








 
research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of
their respective investment banking divisions. The Company and each Selling Stockholder hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company or such Selling Stockholder may have against the Underwriters with
respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company or
such Selling Stockholder by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Company and each Selling Stockholder acknowledge that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to
applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. 
  

	13.	Duties: 

 Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties. The Underwriters undertake to perform such duties and obligations only as expressly set forth herein. Such duties and obligations of the
Underwriters with respect to the Shares shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and the Underwriters shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to the Shares as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering
price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and each Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and the Company and
each Selling Stockholder are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and
the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company, any Selling Stockholder or their respective affiliates, stockholders,
creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Selling Stockholder with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Selling Stockholder on other matters); and (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective affiliates may
be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Stockholders and that the several Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such interests. The Company and each
Selling Stockholder acknowledge that the Underwriters disclaim any implied duties (including any fiduciary duty), covenants or obligations arising from the Underwriters’ performance of the duties and obligations expressly set forth herein. The
Company and such Selling Stockholder hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company and the Selling Stockholders may have against the several Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty.

 FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

 FBR CAPITAL
MARKETS & CO. 
 BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. 
 c/o FBR CAPITAL MARKETS & CO. 
 1001 19th Street North 
 Arlington, Virginia 22209 
 as Representative of the several underwriters 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 The
undersigned understands and agrees as follows: 
 1. FBR Capital Markets & Co. and Barclays Capital Inc. (the
“Representatives”), as representatives of the several underwriters, propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”) with FBR Capital Markets Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the
“Company”), and Arlington Asset Investment Corp., a Virginia corporation, and FBR Securities Investment HY, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (together, the “Selling Stockholders”), providing for the initial
purchase by the underwriters of shares of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company that the underwriters propose to reoffer to the public (all of such shares of the Company’s common stock are collectively referred to as the
“Shares” and the transactions referred to in this paragraph 1 are referred to as the “Offering”). 
 2. In recognition of the benefit that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the
undersigned, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld or delayed in the Representatives’ sole discretion), the undersigned will refrain during the period
commencing on the date of the Agreement and ending on the date that is 45 days after the date of the Prospectus (as defined in the Agreement), from (i) offering, pledging, selling, contracting to sell, selling any option or contract to
purchase, purchasing any option or contract to sell, granting any option, right or warrant for the sale of, lending or otherwise disposing of or transferring, directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company, or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity securities of the Company, or (ii) entering into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences
of ownership of equity securities of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. If
(A) during the last 17 days of the 45-day period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (B) prior to the expiration of the 45-day period, the Company announces
that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 45-day period, then the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Letter Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning
on the issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or the occurrence of the material event, unless such extension is waived in writing, provided, however, that the restrictions described above shall not apply if
the safe harbor provided by Rule 139 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is available in the manner contemplated by Rule 2711(f)(4) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. 
  

 A-1 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to applicable securities laws, the undersigned may
transfer any securities of the Company (including, without limitation, common stock) as follows: (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth
herein; (ii) as a distribution to equity holders of the undersigned, if applicable, provided that such equity holders agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; (iii) as collateral for any loan,
provided that the lender agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein; or (iv) with respect to sales of securities acquired after the Closing Time (as defined in the Agreement) in the open market. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, nothing shall prevent the undersigned from, or restrict the ability of the undersigned to, (i) purchase
common stock on the open market or (ii) exercise any options or other convertible securities granted by the Company to the undersigned or any of its affiliates. 
 3. The undersigned acknowledges that the Representatives are relying on the agreements of the undersigned set forth herein in making its decision to enter into the Agreement and to continue its efforts in
connection with the Offering. 
 4. This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws. 
 5. This Lock-Up Agreement shall automatically expire and
be of no further force and effect if the Agreement is not entered into on or prior to November 6, 2009 or if the closing thereunder is not consummated on or prior to November 16, 2009. 
 6. This Lock-Up Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and delivered by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Company has the corporate power to own, lease or operate its property and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus
and to execute and deliver the Underwriting Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder. 
 2. The execution, delivery and performance
by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action required under the Company Charter Documents and the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”). 
 3. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. 
 4. The Company has the number of authorized shares of capital stock as set forth under the caption “Description of Capital Stock” in the Prospectus. The Shares to be delivered by the Selling
Stockholders have been duly authorized and validly issued by the Company, and were fully paid and are non-assessable. 
 5. The execution and
delivery by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement do not, and the performance thereof and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not, (i) violate the Company Charter Documents or any provision of the VSCA or any
federal statute, rule or regulation known to us to be applicable to the Company; or (ii) violate or constitute a breach under any agreement that was filed or incorporated by reference, or the form of which was filed or incorporated by
reference, as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, or any Current
Report on Form 8-K, or any amendment thereof, filed after January 1, 2009; provided, however, that we express no opinion with respect to any state or foreign securities laws, or the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in the
Underwriting Agreement. 
 6. The statements contained in the Basic Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock—Certain
Anti-Takeover Provisions of the VSCA, Our Articles of Incorporation and Our Bylaws” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the agreements referred to therein, constitute fair summaries thereof in all material respects. 

7. The information contained in the Basic Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock” to the extent that it constitutes a
statement of law or legal conclusions, has been reviewed by us and is correct in all material respects. 
 8. Based solely on the certificates
of public officials and letters of CT Corporation dated as of the Closing Date attached hereto in Exhibit A: each of FBR Asset Management Holdings, Inc. and FBR Capital Markets PT, Inc. is a corporation existing under and by virtue of the laws of

 B-1-1 








 10. So far as is known to us, no filing with, notice to, or consent, approval or authorization or order of
any court or governmental agency or body or official is required to be made by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement except for the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act and such
consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and registrations or qualifications as may be required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of
the Shares by the Underwriters as to which we express no opinion; provided, however, that we express no opinion as to whether the purchase of the Shares constitutes a “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 11. The Company is
not required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 12.
Each of (i) the Registration Statement, when it became effective and at the most recent deemed effective date prior to the Initial Sale Time, the Disclosure Package, as of the Initial Sale Time, and the Prospectus, as of its date and the date
hereof and (ii) the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement the Prospectus, as of its respective filing date, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive to the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations thereunder (except that in each case we do not express any view as to the financial statements and the related notes and schedules thereto, or as to any other financial or accounting data or
information, included or required to be included therein, or excluded therefrom, or in the exhibits to the Registration Statement); and, to our knowledge, the Commission has not suspended or revoked the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
issued to the Company notice of any hearing or other proceeding to consider suspension or revocation of such effectiveness. 
 13. Nothing has
come to our attention that causes us to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement, when it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Disclosure Package, as of the Initial Sale Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading except that, in each case in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, we do not express any view or belief and make
no statement with respect to the financial statements and the related notes and schedules thereto, or as to any other financial or accounting data or information included or required to be included in, or excluded from, the Registration Statement,
the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or the exhibits to the Registration Statement.

 Exhibit B-2 
 FORM OF OPINION OF IN-HOUSE COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY 
 1. To my
knowledge, the Company has not issued any outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase or to subscribe for, any shares of stock or other securities of the Company, except
as described in the Prospectus. 
 2. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement do not, and the performance
thereof and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any judgment, decree or order of any state or federal court or governmental authority known to me. 
 3. To my knowledge, the Company is not in breach or in default (nor has any event occurred which with notice, lapse of time or both would constitute a
breach or default) (a) under the Company Charter Documents, or (b) in the performance or observance of any contract, license, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, except, in the case of clause (b), as would not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that I express no opinion (i) as to whether the execution, delivery
or performance of any contract, instrument or agreement, including, without limitation, the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute a violation of, or a default under, any covenant, restriction or provision with respect to financial ratios or tests
or any aspect of the financial condition or results of operation of any person or entity or (ii) with respect to any matter which requires mathematical calculation or any financial or accounting determination.

 Opinions to
