CAPITALSOURCE INC.
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
 Restricted Stock
    
    This Agreement evidences an award of
shares of Stock 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).Transfer of Unvested Restricted Stock
    
    Unvested Restricted Stock may not be
sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
encumbered, whether by operation of
law or otherwise, nor may the
Restricted Stock be made subject to
execution, attachment or similar
process. If you attempt to do any
of these things, the Restricted
Stock will immediately become
forfeited.Issuance and Vesting
    
    The Company will issue your
Restricted Stock in the name set
forth on the cover sheet. Your
right to the Stock under this
Restricted Stock grant and this
Agreement 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 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.Evidence of Issuance
    
    The issuance of the Stock under the
grant of Restricted Stock 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, with any unvested
Restricted Stock bearing the
appropriate restrictions imposed by
this Agreement. As your interest in
the Restricted Stock vests, the
recordation of the number of shares
of Restricted Stock attributable to
you will be appropriately modified
if necessary. In so far as any
share certificates are issued for
unvested Restricted Stock, such
certificates shall be held in escrow
and shall contain an appropriate
legend.Forfeiture of Unvested Restricted
Stock
    
    Unless the termination of your
Service triggers accelerated vesting
of your Restricted Stock 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
Restricted Stock 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
 2

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 or
otherwise in competition with the
Company or any Affiliate thereof,
the Company has the right to cause
an immediate forfeiture of your
rights to the Restricted Stock and
the Restricted Stock shall
immediately expire.In addition, if you have vested in
Shares of Restricted Stock during
the two year period prior to your
actions, you will owe the Company a
cash payment (or forfeiture of
shares) in an amount determined as
follows: (1) for any 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 Shares that
you still own, the amount will be
the number of Shares 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 the shares or any other
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.Section 83(b) Election
    
    You may not make an election under
Section 83 of the Internal Revenue
Code (a Section 83(b) Election) to
be taxed at the time the unvested
shares of Restricted Stock are
acquired rather than when such
shares of Restricted Stock become
vested. If you do make a Section
83(b) Election, you will forfeit all
of the Restricted Stock.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. In the event
that the Company determines that any
federal, state, local or foreign tax
or withholding payment is required
relating to the vesting 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

Restricted Stock that you hold as of
the record date for such dividend,
which shall be subject to the same
vesting, forfeiture and other
conditions as the associated
Restricted Stock. No adjustments
are made for dividends 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.Legends

of Stock are represented by
certificates rather than book entry,
