<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear FIRST NAME: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In satisfaction of the

the &#147;<I>Company</I>&#148;) dated as March&nbsp;8, 2017, you have been granted a Restricted Stock Unit (&#147;<I>RSU</I>&#148;) Award with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this RSU Award Agreement. This RSU Award is being
granted pursuant to Section&nbsp;8 of the 2006 FBR Capital Markets Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;<I>Stock Plan</I>&#148;). Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan, a copy of
which was attached to the Award Letter. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each unit subject to the RSU Award represents the right to receive one share of the common stock
of FBR, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan and otherwise subject to the Stock Plan. A copy of the Stock Plan and a document constituting part of a prospectus covering the Company common stock underlying the RSUs are
available upon request to the Human Resources Department. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:8%; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Grant Date: March&nbsp;8, 2017 </B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Restriction Period</B>: The restriction period is the vesting or waiting period before you have full ownership of your units of the Company
common stock. This RSU Award will have a restriction period that will lapse on March&nbsp;8, 2019, subject to your continued employment with the Company through such date. Section&nbsp;7(a) of the Plan sets forth your rights to accelerated vesting
of all or a pro-rata portion of your RSU Award in the event of certain terminations of employment prior to March&nbsp;8, 2019. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Settlement of Units</B>: As soon as practicable (and in any event within 55 days) after the restriction period lapses (but no later than
March&nbsp;15 of the year following the year in which the RSUs vest) and after satisfaction of your tax obligation (as described in the &#147;Taxes&#148; section below), the Company will issue shares of its common stock to you (or, in the
Committee&#146;s discretion, a cash payment based on the per share &#147;fair market value&#148; (as defined in the Stock Plan) will be paid to you) in settlement of the vested RSUs and you will have full ownership rights in those shares. The number
of shares that will be issued will equal the number of RSUs that vest. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Dividend Equivalents</B>: If FBR chooses to pay a dividend, you
will be entitled to receive cash payments equivalent to any cash, stock or other property dividends that are paid on shares of the Company&#146;s common stock during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the earlier of (a)&nbsp;the
date that you vest in the RSUs or (b)&nbsp;the date that you forfeit the RSUs. Your right to receive these dividend equivalents, if any, is subject to the same vesting requirements that apply to the RSUs. Any dividends that are payable to you will
be paid at the same time that shares of Company common stock are issued (or, in the Committee&#146;s discretion, cash is paid) in settlement of your RSUs. Such payments will be treated as compensation reportable on your Form W-2 (rather than as
dividend income). </P>
