Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 28, 2011, TH TRS Corp. (“TRS”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Two Harbors Investment Corp., agreed to amend and restate its Forward AAA Securities Agreement with Barclays Bank plc dated May 17, 2011, pursuant to which TRS may in the future securitize eligible mortgage loans in a securitization which would issue both senior securities and subordinate securities and for which an affiliate of Barclays Bank would act as an underwriter or placement agent of the securitization and TRS would act as a sponsor. The Amended and Restated Forward AAA Securities Agreement, among other things, sets forth terms governing the removal of Forward Assets (as defined therein) from the Amended and Restated Forward AAA Agreement; amends certain terms related to the purchase by an affiliate of Barclays Bank of Senior Securities in connection with a future securitization; and provides for other modifications intended to clarify the terms of the original Forward AAA Securities Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Forward AAA Securities Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Forward AAA Securities Agreement, which has been filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
