negative impact can be substantially mitigated, remains substantially unremedied or unmitigated for more than 30 days after written notice thereof is given to the Executive by AGNC, the Company or any subsidiary, as applicable (as determined by the
Board acting in good faith). For purposes of this definition, no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered grounds for a Termination for Cause if done or omitted to be done by the Executive in good faith and in the

(the “Employment Period”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall be an at-will employee of the Company and the Executive or the Board may
terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason or no reason at any time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including any obligations the Company may have pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof. 

3. Positions and Duties. 

(a) During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as the Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of the
Company. As such, the Executive shall have the responsibilities and authorities designated to him by the Board.

(B) manage the Executive’s personal investments.

 4. Compensation and Benefits. 

(a) Base Salary. For services rendered by the Executive under this Agreement during the Employment Period, as of the
Effective Date, the Company shall pay to the Executive an annual base salary (“Base Salary”) at the rate of $900,000, evenly paid twice a month or on such other schedule as salaried employees of the Company are generally and
regularly compensated. On and after January 1, 2022, the Compensation Committee shall review the Executive’s Base Salary from time to time and may, in its sole discretion, increase it; provided that the Base Salary shall not be lowered
from the rate that may be in effect from time to time. 
 (b) Annual Cash Bonus. With respect to each calendar year
during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual cash bonus. The actual annual bonus may range from 0% to 150% of a target value (the “Target Annual Bonus Amount”), based on the level of achievement of
specified performance measures and goals set by the Compensation Committee (in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company) for such calendar year (the “Annual Performance Goals”). For performance in calendar year
2021, the Target Annual Bonus Amount shall be $1,800,000, which amount reflects the pro-ration of: (i) the rate of the Target Annual Bonus Amount pursuant to the Prior Agreement (which rate is $1,600,000)
to reflect the portion of the 2021 calendar year (six months) during which the Executive serves solely as the Executive Vice President, Agency Portfolio Investments of the Company, and (ii) the rate of the Target Annual Bonus Amount for the
remaining portion of the 2021 calendar year (six months) during which the Executive serves as the Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of the Company pursuant to this Agreement (which rate shall be $2,000,000). For performance in
calendar year 2022 and each calendar year thereafter, the Target Annual Bonus Amount shall be $2,000,000. The Compensation Committee (in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company), in its reasonable judgment, shall determine the
weightings of each performance measure and a threshold, target and maximum performance goal for each measure no later than ninety (90) days after the beginning of each calendar year. To the extent that specified performance measures and goals
apply to other executives of the Company, the threshold, target and maximum levels associated with such specified performance measures and goals will apply to the Executive in the same manner as they apply to such other executives. Performance at
the threshold, target or maximum levels would be expected to result in a bonus payment of 50%, 100% or 150% of the Target Annual Bonus Amount, respectively, for such measure. Performance below the threshold level could result in no bonus payment for
such measure. The bonus payment for performance between the threshold and target level or between the target and maximum level will be determined by linear interpolation. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 6, the Executive must be employed on
the date on which the annual cash bonus is paid in order to receive payment of any such annual cash bonus pursuant to this subparagraph 4(b). Any annual cash bonus earned pursuant to this subparagraph 4(b) shall be paid to the Executive by
March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such annual cash bonus relates. 
 (c) Long-Term
Incentive Awards. During the first quarter of calendar year 2021, subject to approval by the Board, AGNC shall grant the Executive a long-term incentive award with an aggregate target fair value of $2,125,000 (the “Target Annual
LTIA”), which amount reflects the pro-ration of: (i) the rate of the Target Annual LTIA pursuant to the Prior Agreement (which rate is $1,650,000) to reflect the portion of the 2021 calendar year
(six months) during which the Executive serves solely as the Executive Vice President, Agency Portfolio Investments of the Company, and (ii) the rate of the Target Annual LTIA for the remaining portion of the 2021 calendar year (six months)
during which the Executive serves as the Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of the Company pursuant to this Agreement (which rate shall be $2,600,000). During the first quarter of calendar year 2022, and during the first quarter
of each 

  
 5 













 
calendar year thereafter, the Target Annual LTIA amount shall be $2,600,000. 67% of the Target Annual LTIA (the “Performance-Based Award”) shall vest based upon the achievement
of certain specified performance metrics (as determined by the Compensation Committee in its reasonable judgment) (the “Performance-Based Metrics”) measured over a three-year performance period with the amount of shares and the
associated performance targets specified at or before the grant date of the award. If the Performance-Based Metrics are exceeded (as determined by the Compensation Committee in its reasonable judgment), the Executive may earn up to 200% of the
target number of shares underlying the Performance-Based Award. The remaining 33% of the Target Annual LTIA that does not have Performance-Based Metrics shall vest over a three-year period, with 1/3 of such portion vesting following each of the
first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Target Annual LTIA shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement(s) to be entered into between AGNC and
the Executive, which shall be consistent with the terms hereof. In the event that AGNC cannot grant the Target Annual LTIA to the Executive during any such calendar year, AGNC shall instead provide a cash award to the Executive with an equivalent
fair value and under equivalent vesting terms, which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of an applicable award agreement to be entered into between AGNC and the Executive (as approved by the Compensation Committee). 

(d) Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to 25 days of paid vacation during each
calendar year. 
 (e) Other Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive all
employee benefits, fringe benefits and other perquisites that may be offered by the Company to its employees as a group, including, without limitation, participation by the Executive and, where applicable, the Executive’s dependents, in the
various employee benefit plans or programs (including, without limitation, retirement plans, stock plans, health plans, life insurance, parking and disability insurance but excluding, except as hereinafter provided in subparagraph 6(b), 6(c) or
6(d), any severance pay program or policy of AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries) generally provided to employees of the Company, subject to meeting the eligibility requirements with respect to each of such benefit plans or programs.
However, nothing in this subparagraph 4(e) shall be deemed to prohibit the applicable plan sponsor from making any changes in any of the plans, programs or benefits described herein, provided such changes apply to all similarly situated employees.

 (f) Attorneys’ Fees. Within 60 days following the Executive’s submission of appropriate supporting
documentation, the Company will reimburse the Executive for the attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the review and negotiation of this Agreement; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such reimbursement shall not
exceed $10,000. 
 (g) Clawback Policy. The Executive agrees that performance-based incentive compensation awarded or
paid by AGNC or the Company to the Executive (whether in cash or equity) shall be subject to the clawback policy of the Company in effect as of the Execution Date, including as it may be amended from time to time in order to comply with the final
rules or regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the NASDAQ Stock Market that implement the incentive-based compensation recovery requirements set forth in Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
added by Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and any other applicable legal requirements or listing standards that may be enacted and in effect from time to time (the “Clawback Rules”)
or as otherwise may be amended or adopted in good faith by the Board for the Company’s employees. Such clawback policy, as it may be amended or adopted, will trigger the forfeiture or recoupment


  
 6 













 
of the Executive’s performance-based incentive compensation (and such other compensation covered by the Clawback Rules or determined by the Board in good faith and specified in such policy)
if the performance-based incentive compensation (or other compensation) is of the type covered by the Clawback Rules or such clawback policy for employees as adopted by the Board in good faith and (i) in the event that AGNC is required to
prepare an accounting restatement due to AGNC’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. federal securities laws, provided that such forfeiture or recoupment shall be limited to the portion of applicable
compensation that would not have been awarded or paid to the Executive for or in respect of such restated fiscal year had such financial statements been accurate (as reasonably determined by the Board in accordance with the Clawback Rules), (ii) in
such other circumstances as may be required to comply with the Clawback Rules, in which case such forfeiture or recoupment shall be limited to the portion of the applicable compensation required to be forfeited/recouped under the Clawback Rules, or
(iii) in such other circumstances and in such amount as the Board may determine in good faith as specified in such policy. 

(h) Stock Ownership Guidelines. The Executive agrees that all shares of common stock of AGNC owned by the Executive
shall be subject to any applicable stock ownership guidelines that may be reasonably implemented by the Board from time to time. 
 5.
Employment Period. 
 (a) Except as hereinafter provided, the Employment Period shall continue until, and shall end
on, the second anniversary of the Effective Date (such date, the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that on each day following the Effective Date, the Expiration Date shall be extended to the second
anniversary of such date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Board or the Executive may terminate the Employment Period at any time by providing prior written notice that such daily extensions of the Expiration Date shall be discontinued,
in which case the Expiration Date shall be the second anniversary of the date on which such notice is provided. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding subparagraph 5(a) above, the Employment Period shall end early upon the first to occur of any of the following events: 

(i) the Executive’s death; 

(ii) the Board’s termination of the Executive’s employment due to Disability;

Company to the Executive on the first payroll date following the Executive’s termination of employment, (ii) any 

  
 7 













 
annual cash bonus that has been earned for a prior calendar year pursuant to subparagraph 4(b) but is unpaid, which shall be paid by the Company to the Executive by March 15 of the calendar

of the Employment Period, which shall be paid by the Company to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s applicable reimbursement policies, (iv) any plan benefits which by their terms extend beyond termination of the Executive’s
employment (but only to the extent provided in any benefit plan in which the Executive has participated as an employee of the Company and excluding, except as hereinafter provided in subparagraph 6(b), 6(c) or 6(d), any severance pay program or
policy of AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries) and (v) any benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“COBRA”). In addition, subject to subparagraph 6(f), the Executive shall be entitled to the additional amounts described in subparagraph 6(b), 6(c) or 6(d), in the circumstances described in such subparagraphs. Moreover,
subject to subparagraph 6(f), unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the parties, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Board following the end of the Employment Period (for any reason other than a reason that would have
constituted a Termination For Cause had such termination of employment occurred during the Employment Period), then the Executive shall be entitled to the greater of (A) payment of a monthly amount equal to the sum of (x) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Executive’s then-current annual base salary, plus (y) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Executive’s then-current target annual

eighteen (18) months), which shall be paid by the Company to the Executive in equal installments over such period in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, or (B) the severance provided under any severance policy or
arrangement of AGNC, the Company or their affiliates that is applicable to the Executive at the time of such termination.

qualitative and subjective metrics of the Annual Performance Goals at their target level), multiplied by (B) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of days that the Executive remained employed during the calendar year in which
such termination of employment occurs and (y) the denominator of which is 365 (the “Assumed Pro Rata Bonus”), which shall be paid by the Company to the Executive in a single lump sum by March 15 of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which such termination of employment occurs; 

  
 8

continuation coverage under the Company’s medical, dental and/or vision plans pursuant to COBRA, reimbursement for the Executive’s (and any such eligible dependent’s) COBRA premium payments (provided such reimbursement does not

termination of employment (such period, the “COBRA Period”), with each such COBRA reimbursement being made by the Company to the Executive within 30 days following the payment of any such COBRA premiums by the Executive (and any
such eligible dependent) (the “COBRA Reimbursements”); or (B) if the Executive (or any of his eligible dependents) elects continuation coverage under the Company’s medical, dental and/or vision

COBRA premium payments during the COBRA Period, which shall be paid by the Company to the Executive on the first payroll date of each month following the month with respect to which the Executive’s (and any such eligible dependent’s)
monthly COBRA premiums were paid during the COBRA Period (the “Substitute Payments”); and 
 (iv)
acceleration of any outstanding unvested awards under the Equity Plan, subject to and in accordance with the applicable award agreement(s) to be entered into between AGNC and the Executive.

which such termination of employment occurs and (y) the denominator of which is 365, which shall be paid by the Company to the Executive in a single lump sum by March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such
termination of employment occurs;

subparagraph 5(b) on account of the Executive’s death or Disability, the Executive (or in the event of the Executive’s death, his estate or eligible dependents, as applicable) shall be entitled to receive the following: 

(i) the Assumed Pro Rata Bonus, which shall be paid by the Company to the Executive (or to his estate) in a single lump sum by

Executive in a single lump sum (or shall be provided to the Executive) on the first payroll date following the 60th day after such termination of employment; provided that the Executive (or, if applicable, his estate) executes and does not revoke
the release in accordance with the requirements of subparagraph 6(f). 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Executive (or, if applicable, his estate) shall not be entitled to receive any payment, reimbursement or benefit under the last sentence of subparagraph 6(a) or subparagraph 6(b), 6(c) or 6(d) hereof unless (i) prior to the

7. Confidential Information; Non-Competition; Intellectual Property. 

(a) Confidential Information. 

(i) The Executive recognizes that the services to be performed by the Executive hereunder are special, unique and extraordinary
and that, by reason of such employment with the Company, the Executive has acquired and will continue to acquire Confidential Information (as defined below) concerning the operation of the Company, the use or disclosure of which would cause the
Company substantial loss and damages which could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not (directly or indirectly) at any time, whether during or after
the Executive’s employment hereunder, (A) knowingly use for an improper personal benefit any Confidential Information that the Executive may learn or has learned by reason of the Executive’s employment with the Company or
(B) disclose 

  
 10 













 
any such Confidential Information to any Person except (1) in the performance of the Executive’s obligations to the Company hereunder, (2) as required by applicable law or
(3) with the prior written consent of the Board. As used herein, “Confidential Information” includes information with respect to the operation and performance of the Company and the Company Managed Funds, their investments,
portfolio companies, products, services, facilities, product methods, research and development, trade secrets and other intellectual property, systems, patents and patent applications, procedures, manuals, confidential reports, product price lists,
customer lists, financial information, business plans, prospects or opportunities (including, as applicable, all of the foregoing information regarding the Company’s and/or the Company Managed Funds’ past, current and prospective portfolio
companies); provided, however, that such term shall not include any information that (x) is or becomes generally known or available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Executive or (y) is or becomes known or
available to the Executive on a nonconfidential basis from a source (other than the Company) that, to the Executive’s knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing such information to the Executive by a legal, contractual, fiduciary or other
obligation to the Company. 
 (ii) The Executive confirms that all Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the
Company. All business records, papers and documents kept or made by the Executive while employed by the Company relating to the business of the Company shall be and remain the property of the Company at all times. Upon the request of the Company at
any time, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company, and shall retain no copies of, any written materials, records and documents made by the Executive or coming into the Executive’s possession while employed by the Company concerning
the business or affairs of the Company other than personal materials, records and documents (including notes and correspondence) of the Executive not containing proprietary information relating to such business or affairs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted to retain copies of, or have access to, all such materials, records and documents relating to any disagreement, dispute or litigation (pending or threatened) between the Executive and the Company. 

(iii) The U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”) provides that an individual shall not be held
criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, the DTSA provides that an
individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual
files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 

(b) Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

 (i) The Executive agrees that (A) during the term of his employment with the Company and, (B) during the 18-month period following the termination of his employment with the Company for any reason (the “Non-Competition Period”) within the Restricted Territory,
the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in, prepare or set up, assist or have any interest in any person, partnership, corporation, firm, association or other business organization, entity or enterprise, whether as an
officer, 

  
 11 













 
employee, director, partner, stockholder, consultant or otherwise, that engages in the Company’s Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Executive shall not be precluded from
purchasing or owning, directly or beneficially, as a passive investment, two percent (2%) or less of any class of publicly traded securities if he does not actively participate in or control, directly or indirectly, any investment or other decisions
with respect to such entity, and (y) if the Board terminates the Executive’s employment following the end of the Employment Period (for any reason other than a reason that would have constituted a Termination For Cause had such termination
of employment occurred during the Employment Period), then solely for purposes of this subparagraph 7(b)(i), the “Non-Competition Period” shall be the 3-month
period following such termination of the Executive’s employment. 
 (ii) During the
Non-Competition Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly: 
  

	 	(A)	 offer to hire, divert, entice away, solicit or in any other manner persuade, or attempt to do any of the
foregoing (each, a “Solicitation”), for any person who is an officer, employee, consultant or board member of the Company or any Company Managed Fund to accept employment or an engagement with a third party or engage in a
Solicitation with respect to any person or entity who is, or was, at any time within six months prior to the Solicitation, an officer, employee, agent or consultant of the Company or any Company Managed Fund to work for a third party engaged in the
Company’s Business or to engage in any of the activities hereby prohibited with respect to the Executive under this subparagraph 7(b)(ii); 


  

	 	(B)	 solicit, divert, entice away or in any other manner persuade, or attempt to do any of the foregoing, on
(1) any actual or prospective customer of or investor in the Company or any Company Managed Fund to become a customer of or investor in any third party engaged in the Company’s Business or (2) any customer or investor to cease doing
business with the Company or any Company Managed Fund; or 


  

	 	(C)	 make any statements or perform any acts intended to advance the interest of any person engaged in or proposing
to engage in the Company’s Business in any way that is intended to injure the interests of the Company or any Company Managed Fund. 



(c) Intellectual Property. The Executive agrees that during the term of the Executive’s employment with the
Company, and for a period of 12 months following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, any and all inventions, discoveries, innovations, writings, domain names, improvements, trade secrets, designs, drawings, business
processes, secret processes and know-how, whether or not patentable or a copyright or trademark, which the Executive may create, conceive, develop or make, either alone or in conjunction with others and
related or in any way connected with the Company, its strategic plans, products, processes, apparatus or business now or hereafter carried on by the Company (collectively, “Inventions”), shall be fully and promptly disclosed to the
Company and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company (as the Board shall determine) as against the Executive or any of the Executive’s assignees. Regardless of the status of the Executive’s employment by the Company, the
Executive and the Executive’s heirs, assigns and representatives hereby assigns, or shall promptly assign, to the Company any and all right, title and interest in and to such Inventions made during the term of


  
 12 













 
the Executive’s employment by the Company. There are no Inventions with respect to the Company conceived of, developed or made by the Executive before the Effective Date which have not been
disclosed to and assigned to the Company. The Executive further agrees that at the request of and without charge to the Company, but at the Company’s expense, the Executive shall execute a written assignment of any Inventions to the Company and
shall assign to the Company any application for letters patent or for trademark registration made thereon, and to any common-law or statutory copyright therein; and the Executive shall do whatever may be
necessary or desirable to enable the Company to secure any patent, trademark, copyright, or other property right therein in the United States of America and in any foreign country, and any division, renewal, continuation, or continuation in part
thereof, or for any reissue of any patent issues thereon. In the event that the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, and in any event after 10 business days, to secure the Executive’s signature on a written assignment to the Company of
any application for letters patent or to any common-law statutory copyright or other property right therein, whether because of the Executive’s physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason
whatsoever, the Executive irrevocably designates and appoints the General Counsel of the Company as his attorney-in-fact to act on his behalf to execute and file any
such application and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of such letters patent, copyright or trademark. 

(d) Remedies. 

(i) The Executive acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this paragraph 7 may result in material
irreparable injury to the Company for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach, any payments or benefits remaining under the terms
of this Agreement shall cease and the Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by this paragraph 7 or such other
relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants contained in this paragraph 7. 
 (ii) The period
of time during which the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 7 will be in effect will be extended by the length of time during which the Executive is in breach of the terms of those provisions as determined by any court of competent
jurisdiction on the Company’s application for injunctive relief. 
 (e) Communication of Contents of Agreement.
While employed by the Company and for 18 months thereafter, the Executive shall communicate the contents of this paragraph 7 to any Person that the Executive intends to be employed by, associated with or represent. 

(f) The Company. For purposes of this paragraph 7, the Company shall include AGNC and any and all direct and
indirect subsidiary, parent, affiliated, or related companies of the Company for which the Executive worked or had responsibility at the time of termination of the Executive’s employment and at any time during the
2-year period prior to such termination. 
 8.
Non-Disparagement. 
 (a) The Executive agrees that he shall not talk about or
otherwise communicate to any third parties in a malicious, disparaging or defamatory manner regarding AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries or any aspect of his employment with the Company. Further, the Executive shall not make or authorize
to be made any written or oral statement that may disparage or damage the reputation of AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries. The Company shall instruct its 

  
 13 













 
senior executives and members of the Board not to talk about or otherwise communicate to any third parties outside of AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries in a malicious, disparaging or
defamatory manner regarding the Executive or any aspect of his employment with the Company, and the Company shall not make or authorize to be made any written or oral statement to any third parties outside of AGNC, the Company or any of their
subsidiaries that may disparage or damage the reputation of the Executive. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, nothing in the Agreement prohibits or will be interpreted or construed to prohibit the Executive from reporting any possible violation of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to
the U.S. Department of Justice or the Securities and Exchange Commission, or providing testimony to or communicating with such agency or entity in the course of its investigation, or from making any other disclosures that are protected under the
whistleblower provisions of federal law and regulation. Any such reports, testimony or disclosures do not require the Executive to provide notice or receive the authorization or consent of the Company or the Board. 

9. Survival. Subject to any limits on applicability contained therein, paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 21 and 22 hereof shall
survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period. 
 10.
Taxes. AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries shall withhold from all payments due to the Executive all applicable taxes (federal, state or other) that it is required to withhold therefrom unless the Executive has otherwise paid (or
made other arrangements satisfactory) to AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries, as applicable, the amount of such taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries shall be
obligated to guarantee any particular tax result for the Executive with respect to any payment or benefit provided to the Executive by AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise), and the
Executive shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Executive with respect to any such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, paragraph 21 or 22) be
construed to require AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries to provide any gross-up for the tax consequences of any provision under this Agreement or any payment or benefit provided to the Executive by
AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise). 
 11. No Mitigation or Offset. The
provisions of this Agreement are not intended to, nor shall they be construed to, require that the Executive mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking or accepting other employment, nor shall the amount of any
payment provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer or otherwise. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Company’s obligations to make the payments to
the Executive required under this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action that the Company may have against the Executive.

 12. Assignability. The obligations of the Executive hereunder are personal and may not be assigned or delegated by the Executive or
transferred in any manner whatsoever, nor are such obligations subject to involuntary alienation, assignment or transfer. The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement and to delegate all rights, duties and obligations hereunder as
provided in paragraph 15. 

  
 14 













 13. Notices. All notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement
shall be in writing and addressed (a) if to the Company, (i) at its principal office address or such other address as it may have designated by written notice to the Executive for purposes hereof, directed to the attention of the Board
with a copy to the General Counsel of the Company or (ii) to the company electronic mail address of the General Counsel of the Company and (b) if to the Executive, (i) at the Executive’s residence address on the records of the
Company or to such other address as the Executive may have designated to the Company in writing for purposes hereof or (ii) to the Executive’s company electronic mail address. Each such notice or other communication shall be deemed to have
been duly given when (A) delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or (B) when electronic evidence of electronic mail transmission is received, except that any notice of change of
address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
 14. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

15. Successors; Binding Agreement. 

(a) The Company and the Executive agree that this Agreement and all of the Company’s rights and obligations hereunder may
be assigned or transferred by the Company to and may be assumed by and become binding upon and may inure to the benefit of any affiliate of or successor to the Company. The term “affiliate” shall mean (with respect to the Company) AGNC and
any corporation or other business entity of which the Company is, directly or indirectly, the majority equityholder. The term “successor” shall mean (with respect to the Company) any other corporation or other business entity that, by
merger, consolidation, purchase of the assets, or otherwise, acquires all or a material part of its assets or equity. Any assignment by the Company of its rights or obligations hereunder to any affiliate of or successor to the Company shall not be a
termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement. On and after the date of any such assignment, the Executive shall have no recourse to the Company for any amounts alleged to be due under this Agreement on or after the date of such
assignment. 
 (b) This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amounts would be payable to the Executive hereunder if the Executive
had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the
Executive’s estate. 
 16. Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless
such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the Executive or the Company of, or in compliance with, any condition or
provision of this Agreement to be performed by the Executive or the Company, as applicable, shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. 

17. Complete Agreement. (a) This Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and (b) this Agreement supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Executive and AGNC, the Company and any of their subsidiaries, written or oral (including,
without limitation, the Prior Agreement), which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. 

  
 15 













 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts
(including electronically transmitted counterparts), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

19. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal, substantive laws of the State of
Maryland. The Company and the Executive agree that the state and federal courts located in the State of Maryland shall have jurisdiction in any action, suit or proceeding based on or arising out of this Agreement and the Company and the Executive
hereby: (a) submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts, (b) consent to service of process in connection with any action, suit or proceeding and (c) waive any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court or
otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction, venue or service of process. 
 20. Indemnification and D&O Insurance. The
Executive will be provided indemnification and mandatory advancement of expenses to the maximum extent permitted by AGNC’s, the Company’s and their subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, with such
indemnification to be on terms determined by the Board or the applicable board of directors or managers, or any of their committees, but on terms no less favorable than provided to any other executive officer or director of such entities. AGNC and
the Company shall maintain customary directors and officers insurance coverage for the Executive’s benefit on the same basis as such coverage is maintained for the benefit of AGNC’s and the Company’s other executive officers and
directors (including former executive officers and directors). 
 21. Section 409A. 

(a) The parties intend for this Agreement to either comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A, and all provisions of
this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied accordingly. If any compensation or benefits provided by this Agreement may result in the application of Section 409A, the Company shall, subject to the Executive’s prior written approval,
modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A or in order to comply with the provisions of
Section 409A and without any diminution in the value of the payments or benefits to the Executive. Each payment or reimbursement under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of
Section 409A. Any payments or reimbursements of any expenses provided for under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). 

(b) To the extent that any payment or benefit pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a “deferral of compensation”
subject to Section 409A (after taking into account to the maximum extent possible any applicable exemptions) (a “409A Payment”) and is treated as payable upon Separation from Service, then, if on the
date of the Executive’s Separation from Service, the Executive is a Specified Employee, to the extent required for the Executive not to incur additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A, no such 409A Payment shall be made to the Executive
prior to the earlier of (i) 6 months after the Executive’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death. Should this paragraph 21 result in payments or benefits to the Executive at a later time than
otherwise would have been made under this Agreement, on the first day any such payments or benefits may be made without incurring additional tax pursuant to Section 409A, the Company shall make such payments and provide such benefits as
provided for in this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph 21, the terms “Specified Employee” and “Separation from Service” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 409A. The parties intend that the
phrase “termination of employment” and words and phrases of similar import used in this Agreement means a Separation From Service with the Company and its subsidiaries. 

  
 16 













 22. Section 280G. In the event that any payments, distributions,
benefits or entitlements of any type payable or provided by AGNC, the Company or any of their subsidiaries to the Executive, whether or not payable in connection with this Agreement or upon a termination of employment (“Payments”),
(i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G, and (ii) but for this paragraph 22 would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
(the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be reduced to such lesser amount (the “Reduced Amount”) that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to
the Excise Tax; provided, however, that such Payments shall not be so reduced if a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Board in good faith (the “Accountants”) determines that without such
reduction, the Executive would be entitled to receive and retain, on a net after-tax basis (including, without limitation, any excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Code, federal, state and local
income taxes, social security and Medicare taxes and all other applicable taxes, determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local tax laws which applied (or is likely to apply) to the
Executive’s taxable income for the tax year in which the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accountants determine to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s)
in which any of the Payments are expected to be made), an amount that is greater than the amount, on a net after-tax basis, that the Executive would be entitled to retain upon receipt of the Reduced Amount.
Unless the Board and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this paragraph 22 shall be made in good faith by the Accountants in a timely manner and shall be binding on the parties absent manifest error. In
the event of a reduction of Payments hereunder, the Payments shall be reduced in the order determined by the Accountants that results in the greatest economic benefit to the Executive in a manner that would not result in subjecting the Executive to
additional taxation under Section 409A. For purposes of making the calculations required by this paragraph 22, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good
faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code and other applicable legal authority. The Board and the Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably require in order to make
a determination under this paragraph 22, and the Company shall bear the cost of all fees charged by the Accountants in connection with any calculations contemplated by this paragraph 22. To the extent requested by the Executive, the
Company shall cooperate with the Executive in good faith in valuing, and the Accountants shall value, services to be provided by the Executive (including the Executive refraining from performing services pursuant to a covenant not to compete)
before, on or after the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G such that Payments in respect of such services may be considered to be “reasonable compensation” within the meaning of Section 280G.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G occurs at a time during which Section 2(a)(i) of Q&A-6 of Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G
would apply to the Executive, upon the request of the Executive, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the vote of equity holders described in Q&A-7 of Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G.
