 THIS SHARED FACILITIES AND SERVICES AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of              , 2009, is entered into by PRCM Advisers LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”) and Pine River

certain Management Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Management Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Manager and Two Harbors Operating Company LLC; and 
 WHEREAS, the Manager desires to utilize the personnel and other resources of Pine River that may be necessary or appropriate for the Manager to carry out
its duties and perform its obligations under the Management Agreement, and Pine River is willing to make such personnel and other resources available for the Manager’s use. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth below, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Services Provided. Pine River shall provide the Manager with personnel and other resources necessary or appropriate for the Manager to carry
out its duties and perform its obligations under the Management Agreement (collectively, the “Resources”). 
 2. Office
Personnel. All Pine River personnel who provide services hereunder shall be employees of Pine River or its affiliates, and shall not be employees of the Manager. Pine River shall provide the Manager with a management team for the Company along
with any other support personnel necessary for the Manager to provide the services it is required to provide under the Management Agreement. Initially, the management team shall consist of the following individuals:

 The Manager shall have no right to specify the actual person or persons who will perform services
for the Manager under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Pine River will employ good faith efforts to identify suitable personnel possessing the necessary skill and training to facilitate the provision of adequate services under
this Agreement. In addition, upon a good faith demonstration by the Manager that any person supplied by Pine River is not suitable for the Manager’s needs under this Agreement, Pine River will, to the extent available, substitute other
qualified personnel for such unsuitable personnel. Office personnel shall be advised that, while providing services to the Manager, they are to follow the directions of the officers of the Manager and are to act in the best interests of the Manager.








 3. Pine River Employees. Pine River shall at all times during the term of the Agreement provide
the following benefits to all Pine River personnel who provide services to the Manager from time to time (the “Manager Personnel”), whether or not such Manager Personnel are also officers of the Manager or the Company: (a) any
and all compensation and benefits (including vacation, holiday and sick pay, life and health insurance, and pension benefits) comparable to those maintained for Pine River’s employees not engaged in rendering services to the Manager or as
required by any applicable employment practices, policies and contracts and (b) the payment of all required federal, state, and local taxes, social security contributions and federal and state unemployment compensation insurance taxes, subject
in each case to the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Manager for the Company’s allocable share of the compensation paid by the Manager to its personnel serving as the Company’s principal financial officer and general counsel and
personnel hired by the Manager to serve as in-house legal, tax, accounting, consulting, auditing, administrative, information technology, valuation, computer programming and development and back-office resources to the Company. Pine River shall also
maintain worker’s compensation and liability insurance covering Manager Personnel in compliance with applicable law. Such liability insurance shall contain limits for personal injury and property damage comparable to those maintained for Pine
River’s employees not engaged in rendering services to the Manager. 
 4. Charges for Services.

Personnel in the performance of services for the Manager under this Agreement. 
 (b) Office Personnel. The Manager shall have no
obligation to reimburse Pine River or its affiliates for the salary, bonus, benefit and other compensation costs of the personnel of Pine River and its affiliates who provide services to the Manager under this Agreement, except that, the Manager
shall reimburse Pine River and its affiliates for, without duplication, the allocable share of the compensation paid by Pine River and its affiliates to their respective personnel serving as the Company’s principal financial officer and general
counsel and personnel employed by Pine River and its affiliates as in-house legal, tax, accounting, consulting, auditing, administrative, information technology, valuation, computer programming and development and back-office resources to the
Company. The allocable share of such out of pocket costs shall be based upon commercially reasonable estimates of the percentage of time devoted by such personnel of Pine River and its affiliates to the Company’s affairs. Pine River shall
provide the Manager with such information as the Manager may reasonably request to support the determination of the allocable share of such costs. Pine River and its affiliates shall be responsible for the compensation paid by Pine River and its
affiliates to their respective personnel serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Investment Officer and the investment professionals of Pine River and its affiliates.

the provision of services hereunder, to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable by the Company to the Manager under the Management Agreement.

Section 10 of the Management Agreement. Pine River shall maintain accurate records of the Manager Personnel (e.g., title, wage rate, and time used) provided to the Manager pursuant to this Agreement, and, upon request, the Manager shall
be entitled to review such records at reasonable times. 
 5. Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin as of the date hereof and

 (b) No waiver by any party hereto of any
of its rights under this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an officer of the party waiving such right. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach, whether or not of the
