CAPITALSOURCE INC.
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
 Restricted
Stock
Units
    
    This Agreement evidences an award of restricted stock units in the
number set forth on the cover sheet and subject to the vesting and
other conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and on the cover sheet
(the Restricted Stock Units).Transfer of
Restricted Stock
Units
    
    Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of
law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Stock Units be made subject
to execution, attachment or similar process. If you attempt to do any
of these things, the Restricted Stock Unit will immediately become
forfeited.Vesting
    
    The Company will issue your Restricted Stock Units in the name set
forth on the cover sheet.Your Restricted Stock Units shall vest in accordance with the vesting
schedule set forth on the cover sheet so long as you continue in
Service on the vesting dates set forth on the cover sheet.Notwithstanding your vesting schedule, the Restricted Stock Units will
become 100% vested upon your termination of Service due to your death
or Disability if you have provided Services to the Company for at
least one (1) year at the time your Service terminates.Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Plan or any
other agreement between the Grantee and the Company or any Affiliate
of the Company to the contrary (including without limitation the cover
sheet and the paragraph below under the heading  The Plan), the
Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall not become vested, by
acceleration or otherwise, and shares of Stock shall not be delivered
to the Grantee pursuant to or in connection with such Restricted Stock
Units, in each case in connection with any termination of employment
or other event to the extent such vesting, acceleration or delivery
would result in the Company violating the five percent exception on
fast vesting of awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units
pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Plan. To the extent that such
vesting, acceleration or delivery is prohibited pursuant to the
foregoing, the Grantee shall receive a cash payment equivalent to the
Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock into which the Restricted
Stock Units would otherwise be converted on the date that such
Restricted Stock Units would otherwise have vested or been accelerated
or such Shares would otherwise have been delivered, in each case if
not for the provisions of this paragraph, and such Restricted Stock
Units shall be terminated and forfeited. Such cash payment will be
consideration for the forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units.

Delivery
    
    As your Restricted Stock Units vest, the Company will issue the shares
of Stock to which the then vested Restricted Stock Units relate.Evidence of Issuance
    
    The issuance of the Stock under the grant of Restricted Stock Units
evidenced by this Agreement shall be evidenced in such a manner as the
Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without
limitation, book-entry, registration or issuance of one or more Stock
certificates. You will have no further rights with regard to a
Restricted Stock Unit once the share of Stock related to such
Restricted Stock Unit has been issued.Forfeiture of
Unvested Restricted
Stock Units
    
    Unless the termination of your Service triggers accelerated vesting of
your Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
the Plan, or any other written agreement between the Company (or any
Affiliate) and you, you will automatically forfeit to the Company all
of the unvested shares of the Restricted Stock Units in the event your
Service terminates for any reason.Forfeiture of Rights
    
    If you should take actions in violation or breach of or in conflict
with any non-competition agreement, any agreement prohibiting
solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or any Affiliate
thereof or any confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company
or any Affiliate thereof, the Company has the right to cause an
immediate forfeiture of your rights to these Restricted Stock Units
awarded under this Agreement, and these Restricted Stock Units shall
immediately expire.In such circumstances, if you have received Shares in connection with
any of these Restricted Stock Units or have vested in any of these
Restricted Stock Units during the two year period prior to your
actions, you will owe the Company a cash payment (or forfeiture of
shares or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable) in an amount
determined as follows: (1) for any such Shares that you have sold
prior to receiving notice from the Company, the amount will be the
proceeds received from the sale(s), and (2) for any such Shares or
such vested Restricted Stock Units that you still own, the amount will
be the number of such Shares or such vested Restricted Stock Units
owned times the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date you
receive notice from the Company (provided, that the Company may
require you to satisfy your payment obligations hereunder either by
forfeiting and returning to the Company such Shares or such vested
Restricted Stock Units or any other Restricted Stock Units or shares
or making a cash payment or a combination of these methods as
determined by the Company in its sole discretion).Leaves of Absence
    
    For purposes of this Agreement, your Service does not terminate when
you go on a bona fideemployee leave of absence that was approved by
the Company in writing if the terms of the leave provide for continued

Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by
applicable law. Your Service terminates in any event when the
approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee
work.The Company determines, in its sole discretion, which leaves count for
this purpose, and when your Service terminates for all purposes under
the Plan.Withholding Taxes
    
    You agree as a condition of this grant that you will make acceptable
arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as
a result of the vesting or receipt of the Restricted Stock Units or
the Stock. In the event that the Company determines that any federal,
state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required
relating to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or receipt of
Stock arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to
require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other
payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate (including
withholding the delivery of vested shares of Stock otherwise
deliverable under this Agreement).Retention Rights
    
    This Agreement and the grant evidenced hereby do not give you the
right to be retained by the Company (or any Affiliate) in any
capacity. Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other written
agreement between the Company (or any Affiliate) and you, the Company
(and any Affiliate) reserve the right to terminate your Service at any
time and for any reason.Stockholder Rights
    
    You, or your estate or heirs, do not have any of the rights of a
shareholder with respect to any vested or unvested Restricted Stock
Units until the Stock has been issued to you and either a certificate
evidencing your Stock has been issued or an appropriate entry has been
made on the Companys books.You will, however, be entitled to receive, upon the Companys payment
of a cash dividend on outstanding shares of Stock, an amount of cash,
or Restricted Stock Units (as determined by the Company from time to
time) equal to the per-share dividend paid on the shares underlying
the Restricted Stock Units that you hold as of the record date for
such dividend, which shall be subject to the same vesting, delivery,
forfeiture and other conditions as the associated Restricted Stock
Units. No adjustments are made for dividends, distributions or other
rights if the applicable record date occurs before your certificate is
issued (or an appropriate book entry is made), except as described in
the Plan.Your grant shall be subject to the terms of any applicable agreement
of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is
subject to such corporate activity.
