Exhibit 10.3

WARRANT AGREEMENT

     THIS WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING COMMON STOCK MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT.

     This certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Wedbush Morgan Securities, Inc., together with its designees (collectively, the
“Holder”) is entitled to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, from Virco
Mfg. Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), an aggregate of one hundred sixty
thousand eight hundred six (160,806) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the common stock, $.01
par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company during the period commencing on the date
of this Warrant and ending at 5:00 p.m. California time five (5) years from such date (the
“Expiration Date”), at which time this Warrant will expire and become void unless earlier
terminated as provided herein. The shares of Common Stock of the Company for which this Warrant is
exercisable, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, are hereinafter
referred to as the “Warrant Shares”.

     1. Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Warrant Shares shall be $5.60 per share
during the first three (3) years from the date of this Warrant and $6.06 per share during the two
(2) years preceding the Expiration Date. The prevailing exercise price is subject to adjustment
pursuant to the terms hereof (such price, as adjusted from time to time, is hereinafter referred to
as the “Exercise Price”).

     2. Exercise and Payment. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, from
time to time by the Holder prior to the Expiration Date by surrender to the Company, at the
principal executive offices of the Company, of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise attached
hereto duly completed and executed by the Holder, together with payment in the amount obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased as
designated in the Notice of Exercise. In no event, however, shall this Warrant be exercised with
respect to less than 20,000 Warrant Shares (unless it is exercised for a lesser number representing
all of the remaining warrants owned by the Holder). Payment shall be made in readily available,
same day funds.

     3. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance and
delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock from time to time
issuable as Warrant Shares. All such Warrant Shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon
such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens,
security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of
all preemptive rights.

     4. Delivery of Stock Certificates. Promptly following the exercise, in whole or in
part, of this Warrant, the Company shall issue in the name of, and deliver to, the Holder a
certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the
Holder shall have requested and paid for pursuant to the Notice of Exercise. If this Warrant is
exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant for the unexercised
portion of the Warrant Shares at the time of delivery of the stock certificate or certificates
evidencing the Warrant Shares.

     5. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant. If upon any exercise of this Warrant a fraction of a share results, the Company
will pay the Holder the difference between the cash value of the fractional share and the portion
of the Exercise Price allocable to the fractional share.

     6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The Company shall pay all transfer taxes or other
incidental charges, if any, in connection with the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder.

     7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if

1

 

mutilated, the Company shall make and deliver a new replacement Warrant and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of this Warrant.

     8. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any
action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or
shall be a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding weekday that is not a legal holiday.

     9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows:

          (a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time
prior to the Expiration Date subdivide its shares of Common Stock by split-up or otherwise, or
combine its shares of Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is
exercisable as of the date of such subdivision, split-up or combination shall be proportionately
increased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.
Appropriate, corresponding adjustment shall also be made to the Exercise Price so that the
aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this
Warrant as of such date remains the same.

          (b) Stock Dividend. If at any time the Company declares a dividend or other
distribution on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or Convertible Securities without payment
of any consideration by the then-existing stockholders for the additional shares of Common Stock or
the Convertible Securities (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
the terms thereof), then the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant may be exercised
shall be increased as of the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding
shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Securities) of
Common Stock as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the
aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately
after the record date (or on the date of such distribution, if applicable) for such dividend shall
equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date. As used herein,
“Convertible Securities” means evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities,
which are convertible into, exchangeable for, with or without payment of additional consideration,
shares of Common Stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening
of a specified event or both.

          (c) Other Distributions. If at any time after the date hereof the Company distributes
to its stockholders, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its
affairs, any shares of its Common Stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other
than cash, Common Stock or Convertible Securities), then the Company may, at its option, either (i)
decrease the Exercise Price of this Warrant by an appropriate amount based upon the value
distributed on each share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of
Directors or (ii) provide by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors that on exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall thereafter be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant
Shares otherwise receivable on exercise hereof, the number of shares or other securities or
property which would have been received had this Warrant at the time been exercised.

          (d) Merger. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation when the Company is not the surviving
corporation, then the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant,
during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect,
the number of shares or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from
such merger or consolidation, which would have been received by the Holder for the Warrant Shares
had this Warrant been exercised at such time.

          (e) Reclassification. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a change or
reclassification of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the
same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, then the Holder shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein
and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or
property resulting from such change or reclassification, which would have been received by Holder
for the Warrant Shares had this Warrant been exercised at such time.

2

 

     10. Notice of Adjustments; Notices. Whenever the Exercise Price or number or kind of
securities purchasable hereunder is adjusted pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Holder a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was
calculated and the Exercise Price and number of and kind of securities purchasable hereunder after
giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first
class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.

     11. Rights As Stockholder; Notice to Holders. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall
be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent
or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of
directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the
Company. The Company shall notify the Holder by registered mail if at any time prior to the
expiration or exercise in full of the Warrant, any of the following events occur:

          (a) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be submitted to the
stockholders of the Company for approval; or

          (b) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision
or combination of the outstanding Common Stock and other than a change in the par value of the
Common Stock) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not
result in any reclassification or change of Common Stock outstanding) or in the case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety; or

          (c) a taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a
cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other rights.

This notice to Holder shall be given simultaneously with the giving of notice to holders of Common
Stock. Such notice shall specify the record date or the date of closing the stock transfer books,
as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice will not affect the validity of any action
taken in connection with such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

     12. Restricted Securities. The Holder understands, confirms and acknowledges that
this Warrant and the Warrant Shares constitute “restricted securities” under the federal securities
laws inasmuch as they are, or will be, acquired directly from the Company in transactions not
involving a public offering and accordingly may not, under applicable laws and regulations, be
resold or transferred without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933
Act”) or availability of an applicable exemption from such registration. The Holder further
acknowledges that a securities legend substantially similar to that on the first page hereof shall
be placed on any Warrant Shares issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant.

     13. Certification of Investment Purpose. The Holder covenants and agrees that at any
time that this Warrant is exercised, in whole or in part, and as a condition thereto, a written
certification of investment intent shall be delivered to the Company by the Holder.

     14. Disposition of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant and
any Warrant Shares purchased hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or
hypothecated (any such action, a “Transfer”) by the Holder except in compliance with this
Agreement. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books this Warrant or any
Warrant Shares which have been Transferred in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii)
to treat as the owner of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares or otherwise to accord voting or
dividend rights to any transferee to whom this Warrant or the Warrant Shares have been Transferred
in contravention of the terms of this Warrant. This Warrant may be divided or combined, upon
request to the Company by the Holder, into a certificate or certificates representing the right to
purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares. If at the time of a Transfer, a registration
statement is not in effect to register the Warrant Shares, the Company may require the Holder to
make such representations, and may place such legends on certificates representing this Warrant, as
may be reasonably required in the opinion of counsel to the Company to permit a Transfer without
such registration.

     15. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Construction. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Holder” shall
include any successor transferee or transferees of this Warrant, and the term “Warrant” shall
include any and all warrants outstanding pursuant to this Agreement, including those evidenced by
one or more instruments or certificates issued upon division, exchange, substitution or transfer
pursuant to Section 14.

          (b) Restrictions. By receipt of this Warrant, the Holder is making the same
investment representations with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant as the Holder is
required to make upon the exercise of this Warrant and acquisition of the Warrant Shares. The
Company acknowledges that the Holder may transfer some of these securities to accredited investors
in valid private placements exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, provided
that, if requested by the Company, the Holder shall furnish a legal opinion concerning the Transfer
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

          (c) Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this
Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery to
the party to be notified or three days following deposit with the United States Post Office, by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the party to be notified (or one (1)
day following timely deposit with a reputable overnight courier with next day delivery
instructions), or upon confirmation of receipt by the sender of any notice by facsimile
transmission, at the address indicated below or at such other address as such party may designate
by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party.

Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the 6th day of June,
2006 (the “Effective Date”), by and between CapitalSource Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Employer” or the “Company”), and John K. Delaney, an individual (the “Executive”).

     WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed as the Chairman of the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Board”) and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Employer and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement to set out the
terms and conditions for the continued employment relationship of the Executive with the Employer.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Employment Agreement. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Employer agrees to continue to employ the Executive and the Executive agrees to continue to be
employed by the Employer for the Employment Period set forth in Section 2 and in the positions and
with the duties set forth in Section 3. Terms used herein with initial capitalization not
otherwise defined are defined in Section 25.

     2. Term. The initial term of employment under this Agreement shall be for a five-year
period commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). The term of employment shall be
automatically extended for an additional consecutive 12-month period (the “Extended Term”) on June
6, 2011 and each subsequent June 6, unless and until the Employer or Executive provides written
notice to the other party in accordance with Section 13 hereof not less than 60 days before such
anniversary date that such party is electing not to extend the term of employment under this
Agreement (“Non-Renewal”), in which case the term of employment hereunder shall end as of the end
of such Initial Term or Extended Term, as the case may be, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter
set forth. Such Initial Term and all such Extended Terms are collectively referred to herein as
the “Employment Period.” Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if on the date of a
Change in Control the remaining term of the Employment Period is less than 24 months, the
Employment Period shall be automatically extended to the end of the 24-month period following such
Change in Control.

     3. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as
the Chairman of the Board, a member of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Employer. In
such capacities, the Executive shall be the senior most officer of the Employer and report directly
and exclusively to the Board (or, if the Employer becomes a subsidiary of a different entity, the
board of directors of the Employer’s ultimate parent company). During the

 

 

Employment Period, the
Executive shall have the powers and authority customarily exercised by
individuals serving as chairman and chief executive officer of a company of the size and nature of
the Employer. The Executive shall devote the Executive’s reasonable best efforts and full business
time to the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder and the advancement of the business and
affairs of the Employer; provided that the Executive shall be entitled to serve as a member of the
board of directors of a reasonable number of other companies, to serve on civic, charitable,
educational, religious, public interest or public service boards, and to manage the Executive’s
personal and family investments, in each case, to the extent such
activities do not materially interfere with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities
hereunder.

     4. Place of Performance. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be based
primarily at a principal office of the Employer designated by the Employer in Chevy Chase,
Maryland, except for reasonable travel on the Employer’s business consistent with the Executive’s
position.

     5. Compensation and Benefits; Options; Change in Control.

          (a) Base Compensation. During the Employment Period and in lieu of a cash base
salary, the Employer shall grant to the Executive as of the first day of each calendar quarter
during the Employment Period (each, a “Grant Date”) fully vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”)
having a value of $100,000 (the “Base Compensation”). For this purpose, each RSU shall be equal in
value to the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Stock”) on
the last trading day before each Grant Date. The Employer shall settle each RSU granted to the
Executive pursuant to this Section 5(a) by delivering one share of Stock for each RSU on the
earlier to occur of (i) a Change in Control and (ii) the Executive’s termination of employment with
the Employer for any reason.

          (b) Vacation; Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled
to six weeks vacation annually. In addition, the Employer shall provide to the Executive employee
benefits and perquisites on a basis that is no less favorable to that provided to any other senior
officer of the Company. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all benefits are provided at the
Employer’s sole discretion. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Employer shall have the
right to change insurance carriers and to adopt, amend, terminate or modify employee benefit plans
and arrangements at any time and without the consent of the Executive.

          (c) Life Insurance. During the Employment Period, the Employer shall maintain a life
insurance policy insuring the life of the Executive from an insurance company reasonably
satisfactory to the Executive which policy shall provide for a death benefit of at least
$10,000,000; provided that such life insurance policy shall not cost more than $10,000 per year.
During the Employment Period, the Employer shall maintain and pay all of the premiums with respect
to such policy during the Term, with a right of the Executive to continue the policy in force by
assuming the obligation to pay the premiums and to purchase the policy for its cash surrender
value, if any. The Executive shall be entitled to name the beneficiary or beneficiaries of such
life insurance policy. The Executive shall cooperate with the Employer to provide all

 

 

information necessary to obtain such policy and shall make himself available for any medical examinations
required by the insurance company providing such policy.

          (d) Equity Awards. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the parties, the Employer hereby grants the Executive options to purchase 3,500,000
shares of Stock pursuant to the Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “A Options”) and
options to purchase an additional 3,500,000 shares of Stock pursuant to the Option Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “B Options” and, along with the A Options, the “Options”).

     6. Expenses. The Executive is expected and is authorized to incur reasonable expenses
in the performance of his duties hereunder. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for all
such expenses reasonably and actually incurred in accordance with policies which may be adopted
from time to time by the Employer promptly upon periodic presentation by the Executive of an
itemized account, including reasonable substantiation, of such expenses.

     7. Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement. The Employer and
the Executive acknowledge and agree that during the Executive’s employment with the Employer, the
Executive will have access to and may assist in developing Company Confidential Information and
will occupy a position of trust and confidence with respect to the Employer’s affairs and business
and the affairs and business of the Company Affiliates. The Executive agrees that the following
obligations are necessary to preserve the confidential and proprietary nature of Company
Confidential Information and to protect the Employer and the Company Affiliates against harmful
solicitation of employees and customers, harmful competition and other actions by the Executive
that would result in serious adverse consequences for the Employer and the Company Affiliates:

          (a) Non-Disclosure. During and after the Executive’s employment with the Employer,
the Executive will not knowingly use, disclose or transfer any Company Confidential Information
other than as authorized in writing by the Employer or within the scope of the Executive’s duties
with the Employer as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Executive. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 7(a) shall not apply (i) when
disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or
legislative body (including any committee thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to
order the Executive to disclose or make accessible any information; (ii) with respect to any other
litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the
enforcement of this Agreement; (iii) as to information that becomes generally known to the public
or within the relevant trade or industry other than due to the Executive’s violation of this
Section 7(a); (iv) as to information that is or becomes available to the Executive on a
non-confidential basis from a source which is entitled to disclose it to the Executive; or (v) as
to information that the Executive possessed prior to the commencement of employment with the
Employer.

          (b) Materials. The Executive will not remove any Company Confidential Information or
any other property of the Employer or any Company Affiliate from the Employer’s premises or make
copies of such materials except for normal and customary use

 

 

in the Employer’s business as
determined reasonably and in good faith by the Executive. The Employer acknowledges that the
Executive, in the ordinary course of his duties, routinely uses
and stores Company Confidential Information at home and other locations. The Executive will return
to the Employer all Company Confidential Information and copies thereof and all other property of
the Employer or any Company Affiliate at any time upon the request of the Employer and in any event
promptly after termination of Executive’s employment. The Executive agrees to attempt in good
faith to identify and return to the Employer any copies of any Company Confidential Information
after the Executive ceases to be employed by the Employer. Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 7 shall prevent the Executive from retaining a home
computer, papers and other materials of a personal nature, including diaries, calendars and
Rolodexes, information relating to his compensation or relating to reimbursement of expenses,
information that he reasonably believes may be needed for tax purposes, and copies of plans,
programs and agreements relating to his employment.

          (c) No Solicitation or Hiring of Employees. During the Non-Compete Period, the
Executive shall not solicit, entice, persuade or induce any individual who is employed by the
Employer or the Company Affiliates (or who was so employed within 180 days prior to the Executive’s
action) to terminate or refrain from continuing such employment or to become employed by or enter
into contractual relations with any other individual or entity other than the Employer or the
Company Affiliates, and the Executive shall not hire, directly or indirectly, as an employee,
consultant or otherwise, any such person. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Employer
agrees that (i) the Executive’s responding to an unsolicited request from any former employee of
the Employer for advice on employment matters; and (ii) the Executive’s responding to an
unsolicited request for an employment reference regarding any former employee of the Employer from
such former employee, or from a third party, by providing a reference setting forth his personal
views about such former employee, shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 7(c).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7(c) shall not preclude the Executive from soliciting
for employment or hiring any person who has been discharged by the Employer or any Company
Affiliate without cause.

          (d) Non-Competition.

               (i) During the Non-Compete Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (A)
solicit or encourage any client or customer of the Employer or a Company Affiliate, or any person
or entity who was a client or customer within 180 days prior to Executive’s action to terminate,
reduce or alter in a manner adverse to the Employer, any existing business arrangements with the
Employer or a Company Affiliate or to transfer existing business from the Employer or a Company
Affiliate to any other person or entity, (B) provide services anywhere in the United States to any
entity if (i) during the preceding 12 months more than 5% of the revenues of such entity and its
affiliates is derived from any business from which the Employer derived more than 5% of its revenue
during such period (a “Material Business”) or (ii) the services to be provided by the Executive are
competitive with a Material Business and substantially similar to those previously provided by the
Executive to a Material Business; provided, however, that following a Change in Control this
Section 7(d)(i)(B)(i) shall not apply to the Executive, or (C) own an interest in any entity
described in subsection (B)(i) immediately above; provided, however, that Executive may own, as a
passive investor, securities of any such

 

 

entity that has outstanding publicly traded securities so
long as his direct holdings in any such entity shall not in the aggregate constitute more than 5%
of the voting power of such entity. For
purposes of this Section 7(d), a “client or customer” shall be limited to any actual borrower of
the Employer (as set forth in the Employer’s CAM or substantially similar successor or related
system) and any other entity in the “term sheet issued,” “term sheet executed” or “credit committee
approved” categories listed in the Employer’s DealTracker or substantially similar successor or
related system. The Executive agrees that, before providing services, whether as an employee or
consultant, to any entity during the Non-Compete Period, he will provide a copy of this Agreement
to such entity, and such entity shall acknowledge to the Employer in writing that it has read this
Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that this covenant has a unique, very substantial and
immeasurable value to the Employer, that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide
a livelihood for the Executive while such covenant remains in force and that, as a result of the
foregoing, in the event that the Executive breaches such covenant, monetary damages would be an
insufficient remedy for the Employer and equitable enforcement of the covenant would be proper.

               (ii) If the restrictions contained in Section 7(d)(i) shall be determined by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of
time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive in any other
respect, Section 7(d)(i) shall be modified to be effective for the maximum period of time for which
it may be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and
to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable.

          (e) Publicity. During the Employment Period, the Executive hereby grants to the
Employer the right to use, in a reasonable and appropriate manner, the Executive’s name and
likeness, without additional consideration, on, in and in connection with technical, marketing or
disclosure materials, or any combination thereof, published by or for the Employer or any Company
Affiliate.

          (f) Conflicting Obligations and Rights. The Executive agrees to inform the Employer
of any apparent conflicts between the Executive’s work for the Employer and any obligations the
Executive may have to preserve the confidentiality of another’s proprietary information or related
materials before using the same on the Employer’s behalf. The Employer shall receive such
disclosures in confidence and consistent with the objectives of avoiding any conflict of
obligations and rights or the appearance of any conflict of interest.

          (g) Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that in the event of any breach of this
Section 7, the business interests of the Employer and the Company Affiliates will be irreparably
injured, the full extent of the damages to the Employer and the Company Affiliates will be
impossible to ascertain, monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for the Employer and the
Company Affiliates, and the Employer will be entitled to enforce this Agreement by a temporary,
preliminary and/or permanent injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting
bond or security, which the Executive expressly waives. The Executive understands that the
Employer may waive some of the requirements expressed in this Agreement, but that such a waiver to
be effective must be made in writing and should not in any

 

 

way be deemed a waiver of the Employer’s
right to enforce any other requirements or provisions of this Agreement. The Executive agrees that
each of the Executive’s obligations specified in
this Agreement is a separate and independent covenant and that the unenforceability of any of them
shall not preclude the enforcement of any other covenants in this Agreement. The Executive further
agrees that any breach of this Agreement by the Employer prior to the Date of Termination shall not
release the Executive from compliance with his obligations under this Section 7, so along as the
Employer fully complies with Sections 9, 10, 11, and 12. The Employer further agrees that any
breach of this Agreement by the Executive that does not result in the Executive’s being terminated
for Cause, other than a willful (as defined in the definition of “Cause”) and material breach of
Sections 7(d)(i)(B) or 7(d)(i)(C) after his employment has terminated, shall not release the
Employer from compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing
two sentences, neither party shall be precluded from pursuing judicial remedies as a result of any
such breaches.

     8. Termination of Employment.

          (a) Permitted Terminations. The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated
during the Employment Period under the following circumstances:

               (i) Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon the Executive’s
death;

               (ii) By the Employer. The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment:

                    (A) Disability. If the Executive shall have been substantially unable to perform the
Executive’s material duties hereunder by reason of illness, physical or mental disability or other
similar incapacity, which inability shall continue for 180 consecutive days or 270 days in any
24-month period (a “Disability”) (provided, that until such termination, the Executive shall
continue to receive his compensation and benefits hereunder, reduced by any benefits payable to him
under any disability insurance policy or plan applicable to him or her); or

                    (B) Cause. For Cause or without Cause;

               (iii) By the Executive. The Executive may terminate his employment for any reason
(including Good Reason) or for no reason.

          (b) Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Employer or the
Executive (other than because of the Executive’s death) shall be communicated by written Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 13 hereof. For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, if any, and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s
employment under the provision so indicated. Termination of the Executive’s employment shall take
effect on the Date of Termination. The

 

 

Executive agrees, in the event of any dispute under Section
8(a)(ii)(A) as to whether a Disability exists, and if requested by the Employer, to submit to a
physical examination by a licensed
physician selected by mutual consent of the Employer and the Executive, the cost of such
examination to be paid by the Employer. The written medical opinion of such physician shall be
conclusive and binding upon each of the parties hereto as to whether a Disability exists and the
date when such Disability arose. This Section shall be interpreted and applied so as to comply
with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act and any applicable state or local laws.

     9. Compensation Upon Termination.

          (a) Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Period
as a result of the Executive’s death, this Agreement and the Employment Period shall terminate
without further notice or any action required by the Employer or the Executive’s legal
representatives. Upon the Executive’s death, the Employer shall pay or provide the following: (i)
the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s legal representative or estate, as applicable, the
Executive’s Base Compensation due through the end of the calendar quarter that includes the
Executive’s Date of Termination; and (ii) the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s legal
representative or estate, as applicable, the Accrued Benefits and the rights of the Executive’s
legal representative or estate with respect to equity or equity-related awards shall be governed by
the applicable terms of the related plan or award agreement.

     The Employer shall pay to the Executive’s estate, or as may be directed by the legal
representatives of such estate, the Executive’s Accrued Benefits due pursuant to Section 9(a)(ii),
at the time such payments are due. Except as set forth herein, the Employer shall have no further
obligation to the Executive under this Agreement.

          (b) Disability. If the Employer terminates the Executive’s employment during the
Employment Period because of the Executive’s Disability pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii)(A), (i) the
Employer shall pay to the Executive the Executive’s Base Compensation due through the end of the
calendar quarter that includes the Executive’s Date of Termination, (ii) all Accrued Benefits, if
any, to which the Executive is entitled as of the Date of Termination at the time such payments are
due, and (iii) subject to the terms of the agreements covering the Options, all outstanding equity
awards held by the Executive immediately prior to his termination shall immediately vest with
outstanding options remaining exercisable for the length of their remaining term. Except as set
forth herein, the Employer shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.

          (c) Termination by the Employer for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason.
If, during the Employment Period, the Employer terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause
pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii)(B) or the Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the
Employer shall pay to the Executive the Executive’s Base Compensation due through the Date of
Termination and all Accrued Benefits, if any, to which the Executive is entitled as of the Date of
Termination, at the time such payments are due, and the Executive’s rights with respect to equity
or equity-related awards shall be governed by the applicable terms of the related plan or award
agreement.

 

 

          (d) Termination by the Employer without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason.
If the Employer terminates the Executive’s employment during the
Employment Period other than for Cause or Disability pursuant to Section 8(a) or if the Executive
terminates his employment hereunder with Good Reason, (i) the Employer shall pay the Executive (A)
the Executive’s Base Compensation due through the end of the calendar quarter that includes the
Executive’s Date of Termination, and (B) all Accrued Benefits, if any, to which the Executive is
entitled as of the Date of Termination, in each case at the time such payments are due; (ii) (A)
subject to the terms of the agreements covering the Options, all deferred compensation credited on
the Executive’s behalf and all equity or equity-related awards held by, or credited to, the
Executive (including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock awards, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock units or deferred stock awards) shall
immediately vest and, if applicable, become exercisable, (B) all stock options, stock appreciation
rights or other similar rights held by the Executive (including the Options) shall remain
exercisable for the remainder of their originally scheduled terms, and (C) all deferred
compensation or other equity or equity-related awards will, to the extent applicable, be
transferred or distributed to the Executive within 10 days of the Executive’s Date of Termination;
and (iii) the Executive and his covered dependents shall be entitled to continued participation on
the same terms and conditions as applicable immediately prior to the Executive’s Date of
Termination for the greater of (A) 24 months or (B) the balance of the Employment Period in such
medical, dental, hospitalization and life insurance coverages in which the Executive and his
eligible dependents were participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided that
if such continued coverage is not permitted under the terms of such benefit plans, the Employer
shall pay Executive an additional amount that, on an after-tax basis, is equal to the cost of
comparable coverage obtained by Executive.

          (e) Liquidated Damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that damages which will
result to the Executive for termination by the Employer of the Executive’s employment without Cause
or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be extremely difficult or impossible to establish or
prove, and agree that the amounts payable to the Executive under Section 9(d) (the “Severance
Payments”) shall constitute liquidated damages for any such termination. The Executive agrees
that, except for such other payments and benefits to which the Executive may be entitled as
expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable benefit plan, such
liquidated damages shall be in lieu of all other claims that the Executive may make by reason of
any such termination of his employment and that, as a condition to receiving the Severance
Payments, the Executive will execute a release of claims substantially in the form of the release
attached hereto as Exhibit C. Within two business days of the Date of Termination, the Employer
shall deliver to the Executive the appropriate form of release of claims for the Executive to
execute. The Severance Payments shall be made within three business days of Employer’s receipt of
the release of claims if the Executive is under 40 years old on the date on which such release is
signed, or within three business days of the expiration of the revocation period without the
release being revoked if the Executive is 40 years old or older on the date on which such release
is signed. In addition, the Employer will execute a release of claims substantially in the form of
the release attached hereto as Exhibit D and will deliver such release to the Executive along with
the Severance Payments.

 

 

          (f) No Offset. In the event of termination of his employment, the Executive shall be
under no obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no offset against amounts due to
him on account of any remuneration or benefits provided by any
subsequent employment he may obtain. The Employer’s obligation to make any payment pursuant to,
and otherwise to perform its obligations under, this Agreement shall not be affected by any offset,
counterclaim or other right that the Employer or its affiliates may have against him for any
reason.

          (g) Section 409A. To the extent the Executive would be subject to the additional 20%
tax imposed on certain deferred compensation arrangements pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as a result of any provision of this Agreement, such
provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such tax
and the parties shall promptly execute any amendment reasonably necessary to implement this Section
9(g).

     10. Certain Additional Payments by the Employer.

          (a) If it shall be determined that any benefit provided to the Executive or payment or
distribution by or for the account of the Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether
provided, paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or otherwise (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code,
or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax
resulting from any action or inaction by the Employer (such excise tax, together with any such
interest and penalties, collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to
receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the
Executive of the Excise Tax and all other income, employment, excise and other taxes that are
imposed on the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to
the sum of (A) the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments and (B) the product of any deductions
disallowed because of the inclusion of the Gross-up Payment in the Executive’s adjusted gross
income and the highest applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar year in
which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 10(d), all determinations required to be made under
this Section 10, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such
Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be
made by the Employer’s independent, certified public accounting firm or such other certified public
accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive and shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Employer (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the
Employer and the Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that
there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Employer. If the Accounting
Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting a change in
the ownership or effective control (as defined for purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of the
Employer, the Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm which is
reasonably acceptable to the Employer to make the determinations required hereunder (which
accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses
of the

 

 

Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Employer. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined
pursuant to this Section 10, shall be paid by the Employer to the Executive within five days of the
receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be
binding
upon the Employer and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section
4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is
possible that additional Gross-Up Payments shall be required to be made to compensate the Executive
for amounts of Excise Tax later determined to be due, consistent with the calculations required to
be made hereunder (an “Underpayment”). If the Employer exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section
10(c) and the Executive is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall
determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive.

          (c) The Executive shall notify the Employer in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue
Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Employer of the Gross-Up Payment.
Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 10 business days after
the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Employer of the nature of
such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay
such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such
notice to the Employer (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with
respect to such claim is due). If the Employer notifies the Executive in writing prior to the
expiration of such period that they desire to contest such claim, the Executive shall:

               (i) give the Employer any information reasonably requested by the Employer relating to such
claim;

               (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Employer shall
reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal
representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Employer;

               (iii) cooperate with the Employer in good faith effectively to contest such claim; and

               (iv) permit the Employer to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided,
however, that the Employer shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional
interest and penalties incurred in connection with such contest) and shall indemnify and hold the
Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and
penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and
expenses.

     11. Indemnification. During the Employment Period and thereafter, the Employer agrees
to indemnify and hold the Executive and the Executive’s heirs and representatives harmless, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, against any and all damages, costs, liabilities, losses and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of any

 

 

claim or proceeding (whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), or any threatened claim or proceeding (whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), against the Executive that arises out of or
relates to the Executive’s service as an officer, director or employee, as the case may be, of the
Employer, or the Executive’s service in any such capacity or
similar capacity with an affiliate of the Employer or other entity at the request of the Employer,
both prior to and after the Effective Date, and to promptly advance to the Executive or the
Executive’s heirs or representatives such expenses upon written request with appropriate
documentation of such expense upon receipt of an undertaking by the Executive or on the Executive’s
behalf to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Executive is not entitled
to be indemnified by the Employer. During the Employment Period and thereafter, the Employer also
shall provide the Executive with coverage under its current directors’ and officers’ liability
policy to the same extent that it provides such coverage to its other executive officers. If the
Executive has any knowledge of any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, as to which the Executive may request indemnity under
this provision, the Executive will give the Employer prompt written notice thereof; provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the Executive’s right to indemnification. The
Employer shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such proceeding and the Executive will use
reasonable efforts to cooperate with such defense. To the extent that the Executive in good faith
determines that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Employer and the
Executive in connection with the defense of a proceeding, the Executive shall so notify the
Employer and shall be entitled to separate representation at the Employer’s expense by
counsel selected by the Executive (provided that the Employer may reasonably object to the
selection of counsel within ten (10) business days after notification thereof) which counsel shall
cooperate, and coordinate the defense, with the Employer’s counsel and minimize the expense of such
separate representation to the extent consistent with the Executive’s separate defense. This
Section 11 shall continue in effect after the termination of the Executive’s employment or the
termination of this Agreement.

     12. Attorney’s Fees. The Employer shall advance the Executive (and his beneficiaries)
any and all costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and other charges of
counsel) incurred by the Executive (or any of his beneficiaries) in resolving any controversy,
dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other agreement or arrangement
between the Executive and the Employer, the Executive’s employment with the Employer, or the
termination thereof; provided that the Executive shall reimburse the Employer any advances on a net
after-tax basis to cover expenses incurred by the Executive for claims (a) brought by the Employer
on account of the Executive’s alleged breach of Section 7 of this Agreement, breach of the
Executive’s fiduciary duty of loyalty, or fraud or material misconduct, if it is judicially
determined that the Employer is the prevailing party, or (b) brought by the Executive that are
judicially determined to be frivolous or advanced in bad faith. Pending the resolution of any such
claim, the Executive (and his beneficiaries) shall continue to receive all payments and benefits
described in Section 5 of this Agreement. This Section 12 shall continue in effect after the
termination of the Executive’s employment or the termination of this Agreement.

     13. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, or other communications which may be or
are required to be given or made by any party to any other party pursuant to this

 

 

Agreement shall

as delivery is refused by the addressee upon presentation.

     14. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of
this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

     15. Effect on Other Agreements. The provisions of this Agreement shall supersede the
terms of any plan, policy, agreement, award or other arrangement of the Employer (whether entered

Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     17. Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall not
be assignable or delegable, except that (i) in the event of the Executive’s death, the personal
representative or legatees or distributees of the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall

The Employer shall require any successor to the Employer to expressly assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Employer would be required to
perform it if no such succession had taken place.

     18. Binding Effect. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting assignment, this
Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
and their respective heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors
and assigns.

except by an instrument in writing duly executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
Neither the waiver by either of the parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the
provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of either of the parties, on one or more occasions,
to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder,
shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar nature,
or as a waiver of any such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

     20. Headings. Section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are
inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for
any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of
the provisions hereof.

     21. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto,
and any claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Maryland (but not including any choice of law rule thereof that would
cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply).

     22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties respecting the employment of the Executive and supersedes the Employment Agreement by and
between the parties dated September 7, 2000 (the “Previous Agreement”).

     23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

     24. Withholding. The Employer may withhold from any benefit payment under this
Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or
governmental regulation or ruling; provided that any withholding obligation arising in connection
with the exercise of a stock option or the transfer of stock or other property shall be satisfied
through withholding an appropriate number of shares of stock or appropriate amount of such other
property.

 

 

     25. Definitions.

          “Accrued Benefits” means (i) any compensation deferred by the Executive prior to the Date of
Termination and not paid by the Employer or otherwise specifically addressed by this Agreement;
(ii) all RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) any amounts or benefits owing to the
Executive or to the Executive’s beneficiaries under the then applicable benefit plans of the
Employer; (iv) any amounts owing to the Executive for reimbursement of expenses properly incurred
by the Executive prior to the Date of Termination and which are reimbursable in accordance with
Section 6; and (v) any other benefits or amounts due and owing to the Executive under the terms of
any plan, program or arrangement of the Employer.

          “Cause” shall be limited to the following events (i) the Executive’s conviction of, or plea of
nolo contendere to, a felony (other than in connection with a traffic violation) under any state or
federal law; (ii) the Executive’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform his
essential job functions hereunder after receipt of written notice from the Employer that
specifically identifies the manner in which the Executive has substantially failed to perform his
essential job functions and specifying the manner in which the Executive may substantially perform
his essential job functions in the future; (iii) a material act of fraud or willful and material
misconduct with respect, in each case, to the Employer, by the Executive; (iv) a willful and
material breach of Section 4 or Section 7(d)(i)(B) or (C); or (v) the hiring of any person who was
an employee of the Employer within 180 days prior to such hiring, other than to perform services
for the benefit of the Employer. For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the
part of the Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by
the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was
in the best interests of the Employer. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Executive shall not be terminated for “Cause” hereunder unless (A) written notice stating the basis
for the termination is provided to the Executive, (B) as to clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this
paragraph, he is given 30 days to cure the neglect or conduct that is the basis of such claim (it
being understood that any errors in expense reimbursement may be cured by repayment), (C) if he
fails to cure such neglect or conduct, the Executive has an opportunity to be heard with counsel of
his choosing before the full Board prior to any vote regarding the existence of Cause and (D) there
is a vote of a majority of the members of the Board, excluding the Executive, to terminate him for
Cause.

          “Change in Control” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (i) any
“person” (as such terms is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 as amended (the “Act”)) or “group” (as such term is used in Section 14(d)(d) of the Act) is or
becomes a “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act) of more
than 30% of the Voting Stock of the Employer; (ii) the majority of the Board of Directors of the
Employer (the “Board”) consists of individuals other than Incumbent Directors, which term means the
members of the Board on the Effective Date; provided that any person becoming a director subsequent
to such date whose election or nomination for election was supported by two-thirds of the directors
who then comprised the Incumbent Directors shall be considered to be an Incumbent Director; (iii)
the Employer adopts any plan of liquidation providing for the distribution of all or substantially
all of its assets; (iv) the Employer transfers all or substantially all of its assets or business
(unless the

 

 

shareholders of
the Employer immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in
substantially the same proportion as they owned the Voting Stock of the Employer, all of the Voting
Stock or other ownership interests of the entity or entities, if any, that succeed to the business
of the Employer); or (v) any merger, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction unless,
immediately after consummation of such transaction, the shareholders of the Employer immediately
prior to the transaction hold, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the
Employer or the Employer’s ultimate parent company if the Employer is a subsidiary of another
corporation (there being excluded from the number of shares held by such shareholders, but not from
the Voting Stock of the combined company, any shares received by Affiliates of such other company
in exchange for stock of such other company). For purposes of this Change in Control definition,
the “Employer” shall include any entity that succeeds to all or substantially all of the business
of the Employer and “Voting Stock” shall mean securities of any class or classes having general
voting power under ordinary circumstances, in the absence of contingencies, to elect the directors
of a corporation.

          “Company Affiliate” means any entity controlled by, in control of, or under common control
with, the Employer.

          “Company Confidential Information” means information known to the Executive to constitute
trade secrets or proprietary information belonging to the Employer or other confidential financial
information, operating budgets, strategic plans or research methods, personnel data, projects or

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

NON-QUALIFIED OPTION AGREEMENT

June 6, 2006

     CapitalSource Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”),
hereby grants an option to purchase its shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common
Stock”) to John K. Delaney (the “Optionee”). The terms and conditions of the option are set forth
below and in the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this option agreement, the Company and the Optionee
are entering into an employment agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Employment
Agreement”).

	 	 	 
	Grant Date
	 	June 6, 2006 (the “Grant Date”).

	 	 	 

	Number of Shares
Covered
	 	3,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”).

	 	 	 

	Option Price per Share
	 	$23.72 per share of Common Stock (the “Option Price”).

	 	 	 

	Non-qualified Option
	 	This option is not intended to be an incentive option under Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly.

	 	 	 

	Vesting
	 	•   General. This option is exercisable only as to the vested
portion of the Shares. The option may be exercised, in whole or in
part, to purchase a whole number of vested Shares of not less than
100 Shares, unless the number of vested Shares purchased is the total
number available for purchase under the option, by following the
procedures set forth in the Plan and below in this Agreement.

	 	 	•   Normal Vesting. Except as provided below, this option shall
vest and become exercisable in three installments:

	 	 	•   1,750,000 Shares subject to this option on June 6, 2006,

	 	 	•   875,000 Shares subject to this option on January 1, 2007 and

	 	 	•   875,000 Shares subject to this option on January 1, 2008.

	 	 	•   Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, this option shall become 100% vested and
exercisable on the Optionee’s termination of employment pursuant to
Section 9(a), 9(b) or 9(d) of the Employment Agreement.

 

 

	 	 	 
	Term
	 	•   Except as set forth in the two immediately succeeding bullet
points, this option will expire in any event on June 6, 2016 (the
“Expiration Date”).

	 	 	 

	 	 	•   The unvested portion of this option (determined after giving
effect to any provision of this agreement that provides for
accelerated vesting) will expire upon your termination of employment
with the Company and its affiliates for any reason.

	 	 	 

	 	 	•   The vested potion of this option will expire prior to the
Expiration Date if (and only if) the Company terminates your
employment for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

	 	 	 

	Leaves of Absence
	 	For purposes of this option, your Service does not terminate when you
go on a bona fide employee leave of absence that was approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) 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 Board determines, in its sole discretion, which leaves count for
this purpose, and when your Service terminates for all purposes under
the Plan.

	 	 	 

	Notice of Exercise
	 	When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by
filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given on
the form. Your notice must specify how many Shares you wish to
purchase (in a parcel of at least 100 Shares generally). Your notice
must also specify how your Shares should be registered (in your name
only or in your and your spouse’s names as joint tenants with right
of survivorship). The notice will be effective when it is received
by the Company.

	 	 	 

	 	 	If someone else wants to exercise this option after your death, that
person must prove to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that he or
she is entitled to do so.

	 	 	 

	Form of Payment
	 	When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of
the Option Price for the Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be
made in one (or a combination) of the following forms:

	 	 	 

	 	 	—   Cash, your personal check, a cashier’s check, a money order
or another cash equivalent acceptable to the Company.

	 	 	 

	 	 	—   Shares which have already been owned by you and which are
surrendered to the Company as long as there is no accounting charge

 

 

	 	 	 
	 	 	resulting from such payment. The value of the Shares, determined as
of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the
option price.

	 	 	 

	 	 	—   To the extent a public market for the Shares exists as
determined by the Company, by delivery (on a form prescribed by the
Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker
acceptable to the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part
of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate
option price and any withholding taxes.

	 	 	 

	 	 	Alternatively, you may exercise all or any portion of this option in
a “cashless exercise”, meaning that upon exercise of all or a portion
of this option you shall not be required to pay the applicable
exercise price and the Company shall deliver you the number of Shares
that have an aggregate fair market value equal to the aggregate
spread with respect to the portion of the option that is exercised.

	 	 	 

	Withholding Taxes
	 	You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make
acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that
may be due as a result of the option exercise or sale of Shares
acquired under this option. In the event that the Company determines
that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment
is required relating to the exercise or sale of Shares 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. In lieu of paying the Company the
amount of taxes required to be withheld, you may direct the Company
to withhold the number of Shares that have an aggregate fair market
value equal to the Company’s withholding obligation.

	 	 	 

	Transfer of Option
	 	During your lifetime:

	 	 	 

	 	 	•   only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or
incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the
option; and

	 	 	 

	 	 	•   you cannot transfer or assign this option. For instance, you
may not sell this option or use it as security for a loan.

	 	 	 

	 	 	If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will
immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this option
in your will or it may be transferred upon your death by the laws of
descent and distribution. Regardless of any marital property
settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice
of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to
recognize your spouse’s interest in this option in any other way.

 

 

	 	 	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer in this section of the
Agreement, the Board may authorize, in their sole discretion, the
transfer of a vested option (in whole or in part) to a member of your
immediate family or a trust for the benefit of your immediate family.

	 	 	 

	Retention Rights
	 	Unless otherwise specified in the Employment Agreement, the Company
(and any Affiliate) reserve the right to terminate your Service at
any time and for any reason.

	 	 	 

	Shareholder Rights
	 	You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the
Company until the Shares have been issued upon exercise of this
option and either a certificate evidencing your Shares has been
issued or an appropriate entry has been made on the Company’s books.
No adjustments are made for 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.

	 	 	 

	Adjustments
	 	•   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in
the event of a split, distribution, spin off or other similar
transaction involving of any business or direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Company (any such business, “Newco”), you will be
granted a new option on Newco on such terms and conditions and this
option will be equitably adjusted so that, on a combined basis
immediately after such transaction, the economic benefit to you of
this option will be preserved.

	 	 	 

	 	 	•   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in
the event of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation or
other transaction in which all outstanding Shares are exchanged for,
or converted into, stock of another entity, this option shall remain
outstanding and shall be equitably converted into an option to
acquire such stock on a basis so that immediately after such
transaction, the economic benefit to you of this option (measured
based on the total per Share consideration involved in such
transaction) is preserved.

	 	 	 

	 	 	•   In the event of a liquidation of the Company or any
transaction in which all outstanding Shares are exclusively exchanged
for, or converted into, cash, this option shall be treated similarly
to other outstanding options to acquire Shares granted by the Company
to employees.

	 	 	 

	 	 	•   Unless otherwise consented to in writing by you, the
“Adjustment” provisions set forth in this Agreement will exclusively
govern this option and shall supersede any inconsistent provision of
the Plan.

	 	 	 

	Applicable Law
	 	This Non-Qualified Option Agreement will be interpreted and enforced

 

 

	 	 	 
	 	 	under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or
choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer
construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive
law of another jurisdiction.

	 	 	 

	The Plan and the
Employment
Agreement
	 	The text of the Plan and the Employment Agreement are incorporated in
this Non-Qualified Option Agreement by reference. Certain
capitalized terms used in this Non-Qualified Option Agreement are
defined in the Plan or the Employment Agreement, and have the meaning
set forth therein.

	 	 	 

	 	 	This Non-Qualified Option Agreement, the Plan and the Employment
Agreement constitute the entire understanding between you and the
Company regarding this option. Any prior agreements, commitments or
negotiations concerning this option are superseded.

     Consistent with Section 9(e) of the Employment Agreement dated June 6, 2006 between me and
CapitalSource Inc. (the “Employment Agreement”) and in consideration for and contingent upon my
receipt of the Severance Payments set forth in Section 9 of the Employment Agreement, I, for
myself, my attorneys, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, do hereby fully
and forever release and discharge CapitalSource and its affiliated entities, as well as their
predecessors, successors, assigns, and their current or former directors, officers, partners,
agents, employees, attorneys, and administrators from all suits, causes of action, and/or claims,
demands or entitlements of any nature whatsoever, whether known, unknown, or unforeseen, which I
have or may have against any of them arising out of or in connection with my employment by
CapitalSource, the Employment Agreement, the termination of my employment with CapitalSource, or
any event, transaction, or matter occurring or existing on or before the date of my signing of this
General Release, except that I am not releasing any claims arising under Sections 10, 11, or 12 of
the Employment Agreement, any other right to indemnification that I may otherwise have, or any
claims arising after the date of my signing this General Release. I agree not to file or otherwise
institute any claim, demand or lawsuit seeking damages or other relief and not to otherwise assert
any claims, demands or entitlements that are lawfully released herein. I further hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waive any and all rights to recover any relief or damages
concerning the claims, demands or entitlements that are lawfully released herein. I represent and
warrant that I have not previously filed or joined in any such claims, demands or entitlements
against CapitalSource or the other persons released herein and that I will indemnify and hold them
harmless from all liabilities, claims, demands, costs, expenses and/or attorneys’ fees incurred as
a result of any such claims, demands or lawsuits.

     This General Release specifically includes, but is not limited to, all claims of breach of
contract, employment discrimination (including any claims coming within the scope of Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit
Protection Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical
Leave Act, and Article 49B of the Maryland Code, all as amended, or any other applicable federal,
state, or local law), claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, claims
under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended (or any other applicable federal, state or local
statute relating to payment of wages), claims concerning recruitment, hiring, termination, salary
rate, severance pay, stock options, wages or benefits due, sick leave, holiday pay, vacation pay,
life insurance, group medical insurance, any other fringe benefits, worker’s compensation,
termination, employment status, libel, slander, defamation, intentional or negligent
misrepresentation and/or infliction of emotional distress, together with any and all tort,
contract, or other claims which might have been asserted by me or on my behalf in any suit, charge
of discrimination, or claim against CapitalSource or the persons released herein.

     I acknowledge that I have been given an opportunity of twenty-one (21) days to consider this
General Release and that I have been encouraged by CapitalSource to discuss fully the terms of this
General Release with legal counsel of my own choosing. Moreover, for a period of seven (7) days
following my execution of this General Release, I shall have the right to revoke the

 

 

waiver of claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, a federal statute
that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees who are age 40 or over. If I elect
to revoke this General Release within this seven-day period, I must inform CapitalSource by
delivering a written notice of revocation to CapitalSource’s Director of Human Resources, 4445
Willard Avenue, 12th Floor, Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815, no later than 11:59 p.m. on the seventh
calendar day after I sign this General Release. I understand that, if I elect to exercise this
revocation right, this General Release shall be voided in its entirety at the election of
CapitalSource and CapitalSource shall be relieved of all obligations to make the Severance Payments
described in Section 9 of the Employment Agreement. I may, if I wish, elect to sign this General
Release prior to the expiration of the 21-day consideration period, and I agree that if I elect to
do so, my election is made freely and voluntarily and after having an opportunity to consult
counsel.
