    5.           Confidentiality.  The
Sub-Manager and the Manager shall each keep confidential any nonpublic
information obtained in connection with the Services rendered under this
Agreement and shall not disclose any such information (or use the same except in

compensation for all Services performed by the Sub-Manager under this Agreement,
the Manager shall pay the Sub-Manager (i) the Sub-Manager Base Management
Fee; and (ii) in recognition of the level of the upfront effort and
commitment of resources required by the Sub-Manager in connection with this
Agreement, either the Sub-Manager Termination Fee or the Final Payment, in each
case pursuant to the terms set forth herein.  Payment of the

Management Fee.  Payment of the Sub-Manager Termination Fee by the

Agreement or (B) the indemnification or expense reimbursement provisions of the
Management Agreement and (ii) have either (A) a disproportionately adverse
effect on the Sub-Manager or (B) a disproportionately positive result for the

Manager agrees to use reasonable best efforts to collect the Base Management Fee
and the Termination Fee on a prompt and timely basis.

Section 457A of the Code.

     

    7.           Expenses.  The
Manager shall promptly submit any expenses incurred by the Sub-Manager on behalf
and at the request of the Manager that are eligible for reimbursement by the
Company pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement to the Company for
reimbursement.  The Sub-Manager shall prepare a statement documenting
such eligible expenses of the Sub-Manager during each quarter, and shall deliver
such statement to the Manager within five (5) business days after the end of
each quarter.  The Manager shall reimburse the Sub-Manager for such
eligible expenses within five (5) days of receipt by the Manager of
reimbursement from the Company for such eligible expenses (provided, that a
failure to deliver such statement within such period shall not limit the rights
of the Sub-Manager hereunder except to the extent it prevents the Manager from
being reimbursed by the Company).  Reimbursement by the Manager to the
Sub-Manager for any expenses shall be contingent upon the receipt by the Manager
of reimbursement from the Company under the Management Agreement for such
expenses, and the Manager will pursue such reimbursement with substantially the
same level of effort that it pursues requests for its own reimbursement of
expenses.

     

    8.           Restrictions on
Transfer.

     

    (a)           The
Sub-Manager shall not directly transfer all or any portion of its right to
receive the Sub-Manager Base Management Fee, the Sub-Manager Termination Fee or
any of the amounts payable to the Sub-Manager under this Agreement (but
excluding proceeds thereof) to any other Person, without the prior written
consent of the Manager (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned).

     

    (b)           The
consent of the Manager (which shall not be unreasonably be withheld, delayed or
conditioned) shall be required prior to a transfer of membership interests in
the Sub-Manager that would result in Mark Ein Related Persons, in the aggregate,
holding less than a majority in interest of the Sub-Manager.  The term
transfer as used in this Section 8(b) shall include any actions that may result
in any Mark Ein Related Person ceasing to be a Mark Ein Related
Person.

    9.           Other Public
Vehicles.

     

    (a)           During
the period from the date of the Merger Agreement through the Termination Date,
Pine River Capital represents and warrants that it has used, and agrees that it
shall use, as the case may be, commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
the Manager is designated as the investment manager with respect to any Public
Vehicle to which Pine River Capital or its direct or indirect majority-owned
subsidiaries serves as external investment manager.  Subject in all
cases to Section 9(b) hereof, in the event that the Manager or any direct or
indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Pine River Capital is designated as the
investment manager (a “Pine River Manager”)
with respect to any other Public Vehicle, the Manager and the Sub-Manager shall
enter into good faith negotiations with regard to (a) an agreement pursuant to
which the Sub-Manager will be engaged as sub-manager with regard to the
management of such other Public Vehicle on substantially the terms set forth
herein or (b) alternative arrangements that are reasonably acceptable to both
the Manager and the Sub-Manager and that provide for substantially the same
proportionate compensation to the Sub-Manager as set forth herein and Pine River
Capital shall cause the Pine River Manager to provide the Sub-Manager with the
right to enter into such an agreement; provided, however, that (x) the payment
under such agreement that is comparable to the Final Payment will be payable in
connection with the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Merger (rather than
the fifth anniversary of the date of such agreement) and (y) if the Pine River
Manager grants to an Independent Revenue Sharer irrevocable and fully vested
contractual rights (a “Grant”) to a
percentage of the total fees payable under the Pine River Manager’s management
agreement with such Public Vehicle, then the fees to which the Sub-Manager is
entitled under its applicable agreement with the Pine River Manager with respect
to such Public Vehicle will be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage
interest provided to such Independent Revenue Sharer in such Grant during the
life of such Grant.  If the Manager proposes any Grant in connection
with this Section 9(a), Pine River Capital will provide the Sub-Manager with all
information and certifications reasonably requested by the Sub-Manager,
including with respect to (x) whether the Person receiving the applicable Grant
is an Independent Revenue Sharer and (y) the terms and conditions of the
Grant.  In connection with any such Grant, to the extent that one or
both of the Sub-Manager and Pine River Capital parties believe in good faith
that the adjustment to the Sub-Manager’s fee under this Section 9(a) does not
fairly allocate the dilution between the parties, the parties will negotiate in
good faith to adjust the terms of such adjustment.  Notwithstanding
any delay in executing such agreement or arrangement, the Sub-Manager shall be
entitled to the accrual for payment of fees commencing upon the receipt of
management fees by the Manager or such Pine River Manager with regard to such
other Public Vehicle.  Neither Pine River Capital nor the Manager
shall have any obligations pursuant to the foregoing sentences of this Section
9(a) if the Sub-Manager remains in material breach of any provision of this
Agreement after written notice of such material breach delivered by the Manager
to the Sub-Manager; provided, however, upon cure by the Sub-Manager of any such
breach, Pine River Capital shall cause the applicable Pine River Manager to
negotiate in good faith with the Sub-Manager and provide the Sub-Manager with
the right to enter into an agreement described in this paragraph to the extent
that the Sub-Manager was, due to such breach, previously not entitled to enter
into such an agreement.

     

    (b)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Sub-Manager shall only be entitled to
receive (A) the sum of (i) 20% of the aggregate management fees earned by the
Manager and any Pine River Manager with respect to the first $1 billion of
aggregate Book Value of all Public Vehicles (including the Company) cumulatively
managed by the Manager and any Pine River Manager and (ii) 10% of the aggregate
management fees earned by the Manager and any Pine River Manager with respect to
the  aggregate Book Value of all Public Vehicles (including the
Company) cumulatively managed by the Manager and any Pine River Manager in
excess of $1 billion; (B) the sum of (i) 20% of the aggregate termination fees
earned by the Manager and any Pine River Manager with respect to the first $1
billion of aggregate Book Value of all Public Vehicles (including the Company)
cumulatively managed by the Manager and any Pine River Manager and (ii) 10% of
the aggregate termination fees earned by the Manager and any Pine River Manager
with respect to the  aggregate Book Value of all Public Vehicles
(including the Company) cumulatively managed by the Manager and any Pine River
Manager in excess of $1 billion; and
(C) the sum of the Final Payment and all comparable payments under other
agreements entered into by the Sub-Manager pursuant to Section
9(a).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein with
regard to each of the Company and each Public Vehicle, the Sub-Manager shall not
be entitled to receive both a Termination Fee and a Final Payment with regard to
such entity.

    (c)           Nothing
in this Agreement shall provide the Sub-Manager with any rights, obligations or
interests whatsoever with respect to the private capital management business of
Pine River Capital and its Affiliates; and Pine River and the Manager shall have
no rights, obligations or interests whatsoever with respect to any business of
the Sub-Manager, its members or their respective Affiliates, other than the
Services in respect of the Sub-Manager set forth in this
Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Sub-Manager shall have
(i) no rights with respect to any new private vehicles that Pine River Capital
or its Affiliates may form or manage during the term of this Agreement,
regardless of whether any such vehicles may invest in strategies similar to the
strategy of the Company or any Public Vehicle and (ii) no rights with respect to
any Public Vehicle that is externally managed by any management entity at the
time such management entity is acquired by Pine River Capital or its Affiliates
after the date of this Agreement, provided, however, that in
connection with any such acquisition, Pine River Capital shall, or shall cause
its applicable Affiliate to, offer to the Sub-Manager (which may assign the
right to accept this offer to any if its Affiliates in whole or in part) the
right to invest, on the same terms and conditions as Pine River Capital or its
applicable Affiliate (except that the Sub-Manager and/or any designated
Affiliate will be entitled to customary and reasonable minority investor
protections), in up to 20% of each class of securities of such management entity
acquired by Pine River Capital and its Affiliates, collectively, provided, further, that the
Sub-Manager and/or its designated Affiliates will have 45 days to accept such
offer after receiving written notice from Pine River Capital describing in
reasonable detail all the material terms of the offer (the “Notice Date”), and
will have 60 days to fund the purchase price if such offer is accepted after the
Notice Date. Subject to conflict of interest policies to be agreed upon between
the parties, nothing will limit the ability of Pine River Capital and its
Affiliates, or the Sub-Manager and its Affiliates, to enter into other
transactions, including (x) trading in the securities of special purpose
acquisition companies other than Capitol through one or more funds managed by
Pine River Capital or its Affiliates, (y) investing or trading in
securities, or pursing investment strategies, that are the same or similar to
those of the Company, or (z) subject to applicable law, pursuing any other
investment or opportunity that may be of interest to the Company.

     

    10.         Relationship of Sub-Manager,
Manager, Pine River Capital and Company.  The Manager and Pine
River Capital, on the one hand, and the Sub-Manager, on the other hand, are not
partners, members or joint venturers with each other nor with the Company, and
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners, members
or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on any of
them.  The relationship of the parties is intended to be contractual
and not fiduciary in nature.

     

    11.         Term and
Termination.

     

    (a)           This
Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary
of the closing of the Merger, (ii) the termination of the Management Agreement
by Company, or (iii) the effective date of the removal of the Sub-Manager for
Cause (the “Termination Date”);
provided that all rights and obligations with respect to any earned but unpaid
Sub-Manager Base Management Fee and any other amounts payable under this
Agreement with respect to periods prior to, on or in connection with the
Termination Date shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided,
further, that, subject to the foregoing proviso, in the event of termination
pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) above, there shall be no Sub-Manager Termination
Fee paid to the Sub-Manager and, in the event of termination pursuant to clause
(ii) or (iii) above, there shall be no Final Payment paid to the
Sub-Manager.  If, in the event of a termination pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Manager or any Pine River Manager, on the other hand, enter into a new
management agreement effective within six months of such termination, this
Agreement will be deemed to apply with respect to such new management agreement,
and, without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of Section 9(a), the
Termination Date shall be deemed not to have occurred.  Pine River Capital
shall cause the applicable Pine River Manager, if it is not the Manager, to
assume the Manager’s obligations under this Agreement.  In the event
one or more of the Sub-Manager and the applicable Pine River
Manager believes in good faith that this Agreement should be amended
to reflect differences between the new management agreement and
the Management Agreement, the Sub-Manager and the applicable Pine River
Manager shall enter into good faith negotiations with regard to any such
appropriate amendments and Pine River Capital shall cause the Pine River Manager
to provide the Sub-Manager with the right to enter into any such
amendments.  In any such event Pine River Capital will provide the
Sub-Manager with all information and certifications reasonably requested by the
Sub-Manager.  Notwithstanding any delay in executing any such
amendment, the Sub-Manager shall be entitled to the accrual for payment of fees
(on the terms as so amended) commencing upon the receipt of management fees by
the Manager or such Pine River Manager with regard to such new
agreement.

    (b)           If
the Termination Date occurs under Section 11(a)(i) above, subject to Section
14(b), the Sub-Manager shall receive a final payment (the “Final Payment”) of
7.7 times the annualized rate of (i.e., 30.8 times) the last
quarterly payment of the Sub-Manager Base Management Fee; provided that, (i) the
Final Payment shall be calculated and determined in accordance with Section
11(e) and (ii) for purposes of calculating the Final Payment, the last quarterly
Sub-Manager Base Management Fee payment shall be re-calculated to reverse any
reduction in Stockholders’ Equity that results, pursuant to clause (iii) of the
definition of Stockholders’ Equity in the Management Agreement, from any
repurchases of common stock of the Company that occurred in the 12-month period
prior to such termination. The Final Payment shall be paid on the date that is
60 days after the Termination Date (or, if such date is not a business day, the
next business day).  If during the six months following the
Termination Date, the Company raises new equity capital, then the Final Payment
will be recalculated to include the increase in Stockholders’ Equity resulting
from the issuance of such new equity capital, but reduced by any reductions in
Stockholders’ Equity occurring during such six-month period (other than any
reductions that, pursuant to the adjustment described above, would have been
excluded from the calculation of the termination payment if such reductions had
occurred during the 12 months preceding the Termination Date), with the net
increase in the amount of the Final Payment as re-calculated payable on the date
that is 60 days after the date that is six months after the Termination Date
(or, if such date is not a business day, the next business day).

     

    (c)           Upon
the termination of this Agreement (or in the case of a termination pursuant to
Section 11(a)(iii), the determination of termination in accordance with Section
14(b)), except to the extent inconsistent with applicable law, the Sub-Manager
shall as promptly as reasonably practicable (A) deliver to the Manager one copy
of all expense statements generated pursuant to Section 7 hereof covering the
period following the date of the last provision of such expense statements to
the Manager through the Termination Date; and (B) deliver to the Manager all
property and documents of the Company provided to or obtained by the Sub-Manager
pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, including all copies and
extracts thereof in whatever form, then in the Sub-Manager’s possession or under
its control (provided that the Sub-Manager’s outside counsel may retain one copy
to be kept confidential and used solely for archival purposes).

     

    (d)           Subject
to other provisions of this Agreement, if the Sub-Manager is removed for Cause,
the effective date of a removal for Cause shall be the date upon which the
Manager shall have delivered to Sub-Manager both (i) written notice that the
Sub-Manager is being removed for Cause in accordance with the Sub-Management
Agreement, and (ii) a copy of the applicable final, non-appealable order
evidencing the required final determination of the court of competent
jurisdiction.

    (e)           For
the purposes of calculating the Final Payment and the Sub-Manager Base
Management Fee on which the Final Payment is based, the Manager shall (i)
calculate Stockholders’ Equity (A) in accordance with (1) the books and records
of the Company and (2) the definition of Stockholders’ Equity in the Management
Agreement and (B) using the same accounting principles, policies, practices and
methodologies used in, and applied consistently with, the prior calculations of
Stockholders’ Equity under the Management Agreement, and (ii) shall otherwise
follow the past practices of the Manager and the Company with respect to
calculating Stockholders' Equity, in each case, subject to the adjustments
expressly provided for in Section 11(a). In connection with the calculation of
the Final Payment, upon the Manager’s calculation of the applicable Sub-Manager
Base Management Fee, the Manager shall promptly deliver to the Sub-Manager a
written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the
Final Payment (including the applicable calculations of Sub-Manager Base
Management Fee and Stockholders’ Equity) and provide the Sub-Manager reasonable
access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to all work
papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared or reviewed by the
Manager or by any of its representatives that are relevant to its calculation of
the Final Payment (or the applicable calculation of Sub-Manager Base Management
Fee or Stockholders’ Equity), and such access shall be provided promptly after
request by the Sub-Manager, and the Manager shall request that its accountants
communicate with the Sub-Manager and its representatives; provided, that the
Sub-Manager may be required to sign an “indemnification letter” in the form
generally used by the Manager’s accountant prior to receiving access to any
materials prepared by such accountant.  The Manager shall cause its
representatives to be available, during normal business hours and upon
reasonable notice, to the Sub-Manager to review the calculation of the Final
Payment (including the applicable Sub-Manager Base Management Fee or
Stockholders’ Equity).  In the event that the Sub-Manager disputes the
calculation of the Final Payment (including the calculation of the applicable
Sub-Manager Base Management Fee or Stockholders’ Equity), the Sub-Manager and
the Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts, and negotiate in good
faith, to promptly reach agreement as to the correct calculation of the Final
Payment.

     

    12.         Assignment.  The
Manager may not assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement,
except that the Manager may assign, in their entirety, its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to any third party upon the assignment of its
rights and obligations under the Management Agreement to such third party;
provided that both the assignee agrees in writing to assume all obligations
hereunder and the Manager shall continue to remain liable for its obligations to
the Sub-Manager hereunder.  The transfer of fees and other amounts
payable to the Sub-Manager under this Agreement shall be governed by Section
8(a).  Otherwise this Agreement shall not be assigned by any party
hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties.

     

    13.         Indemnification.  The
Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Sub-Manager to be
indemnified by the Company in accordance with the Management
Agreement.

    14.         Remedies; Limitation of
Liability.

     

    (a)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall Pine River Capital, the
Company or any of their Affiliates (including the Manager), on the one hand, or
the Sub-Manager, on the other hand, be responsible or liable for special,
indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether Pine
River Capital, the Company or their Affiliates, on the one hand, or the
Sub-Manager, on the other hand, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss
or damage and regardless of the form of action; provided, however, that in
connection with any dispute between Pine River or the Manager, on the one hand,
and the Sub-Manager, on the other hand, regarding the Sub-Manager’s right to
receive payments under this Agreement, (x) if the Sub-Manager is finally
determined to have been entitled to receive any amounts (not paid when due)
under this Agreement, the Sub-Manager will be entitled to (1) reimbursement of
reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection
with such dispute and collection of such amounts and (2) interest accruing at
the Interest Rate on such unpaid amounts from the date payment was originally
due until actually paid, and (y) if the Sub-Manager is finally determined not to
have been entitled to receive any amounts (not paid when due) under this
Agreement, the Manager will be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable costs and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such
dispute.  Further, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, neither the Manager, Pine River Capital nor any of their respective
Affiliates shall be liable to the Sub-Manager for payment of a Sub-Manager Base
Management Fee, Sub-Manager Termination Fee or any similar compensation (other
than any Final Payment or other final payment) except to the extent that the
Manager, Pine River Capital or such Affiliate (as the case may be) or its
assignee has actually received a corresponding fee from corresponding Public
Vehicles (including the Company).  This Agreement may only be enforced
against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought
against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only
with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such
party.  Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then
only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in
this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent,
attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall
have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one
or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other
obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the parties under this
Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) of or for any claim based
on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.

     

    (b)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Manager will not be entitled to
terminate the Agreement (except as expressly set forth in the termination
provisions above), withhold or offset amounts owed hereunder or otherwise seek
recourse against the Sub-Manager for any breach of this Agreement, except that
the Manager may seek payment of monetary damages to the extent a court of
competent jurisdiction finally determines such damages are awarded to the
Manager against the Sub-Manager as a result of Cause (and such damages exceed
any amounts released from escrow to the Manager in accordance with this Section
14(b)); provided that, in the event that the Manager has, in good faith in
accordance with this Agreement, initiated litigation with respect to Cause prior
to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Merger, the Manager may, in lieu
of making payments to the Sub-Manager with respect to the Final Payment, but at
the time at which such payments would otherwise be required, deposit such
payments into an interest-bearing escrow arrangement reasonably satisfactory to
the Sub-Manager.  If Cause is finally determined to have occurred
prior to the fifth anniversary of the Merger, the amounts then in escrow will be
released to the Manager (and the Manager shall have no further obligation to
make payments with respect to the Final Payment).  If a court of
competent jurisdiction finally determines that no Cause occurred prior to the
fifth anniversary of the Merger, then the amounts then in escrow will be
released to the Sub-Manager, and the Manager will be responsible for any
additional amounts owing in respect of the Final Payment.

Warranties of Pine River Capital and the Manager.  The Manager
and Pine River Capital each, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and

    25.           Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon,
and all of which shall together constitute one and the same

counterparts of this Agreement, individually or taken together, shall bear the
signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the

    26.           Severability.  Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

     

    27.           Gender.  Words
used herein regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be
deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any
other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context
requires.

     

    28.           Non-Disparagement.  The
Sub-Manager hereby agrees to refrain, and to use reasonable efforts to cause its
members, from making any defamatory or derogatory statements concerning the
Company, the Manager and Pine River Capital and the Company, the Manager and
Pine River Capital hereby agree to refrain from making any defamatory or
derogatory statements concerning the Sub-Manager and its
members.  This Section 28 shall survive termination of this Agreement
for a period of five years.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
herein shall be deemed to prohibit any individual or entity from making any
truthful statements in response to a subpoena, in connection with a legal
proceeding or as otherwise required by law or legal process.

     

    29.           Section 409A. This
Agreement is intended to be written, administered, interpreted and construed in
a manner such that no payments provided under the Agreement become subject to
(a) the gross income inclusion set forth within Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the
Code or (b) the interest and additional tax set forth within Section
409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (together, referred to herein as the “Section 409A
Penalties”), including, where appropriate, the construction of defined terms to
have meanings that would not cause the imposition of Section 409A Penalties. The
Sub-Manager expects that the payments provided under this Agreement will be
exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code because the Sub-Manager
intends to account on an accrual basis for U.S. income tax purposes. If,
following the date of this Agreement, the Sub-Manager reasonably determines that
it is no longer advisable for Sub-Manager to account on an accrual basis for
U.S. income tax purposes (as a result in a change in applicable laws or
regulations or otherwise), or the Sub-Manager reasonably determines that any
payments under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A Penalties, the
parties agree to work together in good faith to adopt such amendments to this
Agreement as most closely reflects the original intent of the parties (including
amendments with retroactive effect) or take any other commercially reasonable

conformity with the policies and investment guidelines established by the
Company’s board of directors, pursuant to the terms of that 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

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
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.

     

    (a)    Out of Pocket
Expenses.  The Manager shall reimburse Pine River for all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Pine River and its applicable Manager
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.

     

    (c)    Other Reimbursable
Costs.  The Manager shall reimburse Pine River for all other
costs and expenses incurred by Pine River in connection with the provision of
services hereunder, to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable by
the Company to the Manager under the Management Agreement.

     

    (d)    Payments and
Records.  The Manager shall pay the aggregate amount due to
Pine River under this Section 4
quarterly on the same day the Company reimburses the Manager for its expenses
pursuant to 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 it shall extend
until October 28, 2012 (the “Initial
Term”).  At the expiration of the Initial Term, the term shall
be automatically extended for one additional year each year thereafter provided
the Management Agreement has not been terminated.  Following a
termination of the Management Agreement (for any reason and by any party
thereto), any party to this Agreement shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by providing 30 days advance written notice of termination to all
other parties hereto.

     

    6.      Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)    All
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their

interest in this Agreement, except monies which may be due pursuant hereto,
without the prior written consent of all other parties.

     

    (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 same
nature.  This Agreement may not be modified except by a writing signed
by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, absent the written consent of
the Company, this Agreement may not be modified so as to increase the obligation
of the Company to reimburse amounts to the Manager under the Management
Agreement.

     

    (c)    This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof, and cancels and supersedes any and all prior written
or oral contracts or negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

     

    (d)    This
Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement
shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles
thereof.

     

    (e)    The
descriptive headings of the several sections hereof are inserted for convenience
only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the
provisions hereof.

     

    (f)     Any
notice, request or other communication required or permitted in this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if hand-delivered to the
applicable party at 601 Carlson Parkway, Suite 330, Minnetonka,
MN  55305, Attention:  General Counsel.

     

    (g)    Wherever
possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.
