 EXHIBIT 10.16 
 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 This ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is made effective as of July 25, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Pacific Income Advisers, a Delaware corporation (“PIA”), and Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation, a Maryland corporation
(“Anworth”). 
 R E C I T A L S: 
 A. Anworth is in the business of investing primarily in United States agency mortgage-backed securities that it acquires in the secondary market;

 B. Anworth desires PIA to provide to it certain services and equipment as it may require, and PIA desires to provide such services and
equipment to Anworth, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. 
 A G R E E M E
N T: 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the agreements contained herein, the parties hereby
agree as follows: 
 1. Services to be Performed by PIA. 
 1.1 Services. PIA shall furnish to Anworth and Anworth shall utilize the services described in Schedule A-1 attached hereto
(collectively, the “Services”). 
 During the term of this Agreement, PIA will use its best efforts to conduct its
duties hereunder in the best interests of Anworth and in a lawful manner in compliance with applicable laws, statutes, rules and regulations. PIA shall provide the Services with the same degree of care, skill and prudence customarily exercised by it
for its own operations. The Services provided by PIA to Anworth shall be made available by PIA at such level of utilization as Anworth may reasonably require following the date hereof. 
 1.2 Inspection; Furnishing of Information and Witnesses. PIA shall permit Anworth, and its authorized representatives, to enter
upon PIA’s premises during normal business hours for the purpose of examining or inspecting Anworth’s records or examining or making extracts of Anworth’s books and records related to the Services; provided, however, that the same
shall be conducted without unreasonable interference or disruption to the business and operation of PIA. 
 PIA also agrees to
use its best efforts to make available to Anworth, upon Anworth’s request, PIA’s officers, employees and agents as witnesses to the extent that such persons may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other
proceedings relating to the Services in which Anworth may, from time to time, be involved. Anworth agrees to reimburse PIA for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in making such officers, employees and agents available as witnesses.

 2. Term and Termination. 
 The term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms, unless written notice of either
parties’ intent not to renew is received by the other party no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term or the applicable renewal period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anworth shall have the sole and exclusive right
to terminate this Agreement without liability (other than for accrued but unpaid liabilities provided hereunder) (i) for any reason upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to PIA, and (ii) immediately upon any material breach by
PIA of its obligations hereunder. 
  

 1 

 3. Compensation. 
 As full payment for providing the Services, Anworth shall pay PIA the amount set forth on Schedule A-2 attached hereto, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Service Charges”). If, for
any reason, Anworth’s requirements for the level, scope or type of Services to be provided above significantly decreases or completely terminates at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Service Charges for such Service or Services
shall immediately be decreased or eliminated accordingly. 
 PIA shall bill Anworth on a monthly basis within thirty (30) days of the
end of each calendar month, and Anworth shall pay the amount billed to it within thirty (30) days of receipt of such bill. 
 If this
Agreement is terminated effective on some day other than the last day of a month, the Service Charges shall be prorated based on the number of days the Agreement was in effect during the month and the actual number of days in such month. 

4. Banking. 
 Any and all monies
received by PIA on behalf of Anworth in the business and performance of its duties under this Agreement shall be received in trust and deposited in special accounts bearing the name of Anworth at such banking institutions and with such authorized
signatories as Anworth specifies. Such monies shall not be commingled with PIA’s funds and may be withdrawn from the accounts only by Anworth. 
 5. Litigation. 
 PIA shall, as soon as it becomes aware of any threatened or potential legal, administrative or other
proceedings involving Anworth, promptly notify Anworth of such threatened or potential proceeding in writing, and shall promptly provide to Anworth the originals of any and all correspondence and other documents related thereto that PIA receives.

 6. Books and Records. 
 6.1 Proprietary. All books of account, accounting and personnel records, customers’ and suppliers’ lists, documents, vouchers, letters and all other papers and records (in whatever form stored or
recorded) pertaining to the Services and information provided to Anworth hereunder shall be the property of Anworth. 
 6.2
Maintenance; Delivery. PIA agrees to maintain books and records pertaining to the Services and information provided hereunder in accordance with Anworth’s internal control procedures and shall deliver all such records to Anworth, at
Anworth’s sole expense, promptly upon the expiration of this Agreement. 
 7. Confidentiality. 
 7.1 Duty of Confidentiality. The parties agree: (i) to hold in trust and maintain confidential; (ii) not to disclose to
others without prior written approval from the disclosing party; (iii) not to use for any purpose, other than such purpose as may be authorized in writing by the disclosing party or pursuant to this Agreement; and (iv) to prevent
duplication of and disclosure to any other party, any Information received from the disclosing party or developed, presently held or continued to be held, or otherwise obtained, by the receiving party under this Agreement. 
 7.2 Information. “Information” shall mean all information disclosed by either party to the other orally, visually, in
writing, or in any other tangible form, and shall include, but is not limited to, all technical information, financial plans, computer databases and similar information disclosed in connection with this Agreement. 
  

 2 

 7.3 Exceptions. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure and
non-use shall not apply to any Information to the extent that the obligated party can show that: (i) such Information is or becomes knowledge generally available to the public other than through the acts or omissions of the obligated party;
(ii) such Information is subsequently received by the obligated party on a non-confidential basis from a third party who did not receive it directly or indirectly from the disclosing party; or (iii) disclosure of such Information is
required under applicable law or regulations. 
 Specific elements of Information shall not be deemed to come under the above
exceptions merely because they are embraced by more general Information which is or becomes public knowledge. 
 8. Indemnification.
Anworth shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless PIA and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all direct damages, losses and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal fees) (“Losses”) caused by
or arising out of the performance of PIA’s obligations and agreements hereunder, except where such Losses are caused by or arise from PIA’s bad faith, gross negligence or recklessness in the performance or the failure in the performance of
its duties hereunder. 
 9. Miscellaneous. 
 9.1 No Partnership or Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute or be construed to be or create a
partnership or joint venture between PIA or its respective successors or assigns on the one hand and Anworth or its respective successors or assigns, on the other hand.

successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 9.3
Specific Performance. PIA acknowledges that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of its obligations and duties hereunder will be inadequate and, accordingly, covenants and agrees that, with respect to any rights or remedies
that Anworth may have and regardless of whether such other rights or remedies have been previously exercised, Anworth is entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available.

on account thereof. The balance of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
