Exhibit 10.11(l)

TWELFTH AMENDMENT

OF

U.S. BANK NON-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN

     The U.S. Bank Non-Qualified Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is amended as provided below.
This amendment is intended to clarify the Plan. The amendment below is not intended to make any
changes that would cause a violation of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or its
accompanying regulations. If a change in this amendment is determined to be a violation of section
409A, the amendment shall not be effective and shall be disregarded with respect to the rules
governing benefits under the Plan.

1. TERMINATION AND SEPARATION FROM SERVICE. Effective January 1, 2009, to the extent there is
ambiguity with respect to the payment of non-Grandfathered benefits under the Plan, if payment of
the benefits is subject to section 409A and is triggered upon a participant’s termination of
employment then the term “termination” and phrase “termination of employment” shall be interpreted
as being contingent upon a participant’s separation from service as defined under the Plan.

2. NEW CASH BALANCE PLAN. Effective January 1, 2010, contingent upon receipt of a favorable
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, the Employer adopted Appendix I to the U.S.
Bank Pension Plan and that Appendix I contains a cash balance plan formula as an alternative to the
accrual of benefits under the final average pay formula contained in the U.S. Bank Pension Plan.
In general, participants in the U.S. Bank Pension Plan were given an opportunity to elect whether
(i) to accrue future benefits under the new cash balance formula, or (ii) to continue to accrue
benefits under the final average pay formula. With respect to a participant who elected or became
covered under the new cash balance formula, the participant’s benefits under Article IV of the Plan
(the U.S. Bank Non-Qualified Retirement Plan) that accrue on and after that date the participant
became covered under the new cash balance formula shall be determined as an excess benefit using
the new cash balance benefit formula. With respect to a participant who elected or became covered
under the new cash balance formula, the participant’s Projected Pension Plan Benefit under
Appendices A of this Plan that accrues on and after that date the participant became covered under
the new cash balance formula shall be determined using the
new cash balance benefit formula (past accruals
are determined under the formula in effect at the time
accrued). The projected interest credits for such a participant’s benefits under Appendices A that
accrue on and after January 1, 2010 shall be determined by using an annual interest rate that is 3
percentage points greater than the rate at which Projected Compensation is deemed to increase.
Projected annual pay credits for such a participant shall be made
based on Projected Compensation under the
terms of the new cash balance formula
as they exist on the date as
of which the Projected Pension Plan
Benefit is determined.

3. DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER. The Benefits Administration Committee has determined that the Plan
should be amended to permit division of vested benefits under the Plan for the Participant named in
Appendix B-11 under a
court-approved domestic relations order that is also approved by the plan administrator.
Therefore, by this amendment, effective as of January 1, 2010, the Plan is amended to permit
division of vested benefits under the Plan for the Participant named in Appendix B-11 under a
court-approved domestic relations order that is also approved by the plan administrator.

4. SAVINGS CLAUSE. Save and except as expressly amended above, the Plan shall continue in full
force and effect.exv10w13wc

Exhibit 10.13(c)

SECOND AMENDMENT OF

U.S. BANK EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEE DEFERRED COMPENSATION

PLAN (2005 Statement)

     The U.S. Bank Executive Employee Deferred Compensation Plan (2005 Statement) (the “Plan”)
is amended in the following respects:

1. DEFERRALS. Effective January 1, 2010, a new Section 3.3 shall be added to the Plan that reads
as follows:

     3.3 Suspension of Deferral. If a Participant obtains a hardship distribution from a
401(k) plan sponsored by the Company (or an entity under common control with the Company for
purposes of sections 414(b) and (c) of the Code), then as required under 26 C.F.R. §
1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iv)(E)(2) and as permitted under 26 C.F.R. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(viii), the
Participant’s contributions this Plan shall be suspended for the minimum period required under the
Code and accompanying regulations.

2. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. Effective January 1, 2010, Section 10.9 shall be amended to add a new
sentence after the first sentence that reads in full as follows:

Each provision shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with section 409A of the Code
and guidance provided thereunder.

3. SAVINGS CLAUSE. Save and except as expressly amended above, the Plan shall continue in full
force and effect.exv10w20

Exhibit 10.20

2011 CEO Compensation Program

To create a compensation program that reflects a comprehensive view of company performance. The
Program reflects a combination of success factors, including: Primary Financial Goals and Other
Performance Measures. The Program should be adjusted on an annual basis and compensation should be
paid based on the achievement of certain factors.

The 2011 Success Factors:

Primary Financial Goals:

	     1.	 	Achieving pre-tax net income for 2011 for CapitalSource Bank of $150 million.

	     2.	 	Achieving new funded originations during 2011 of $1.8 billion. Achievement of this
target will be measured by reaching both the funded amount set forth in the targets (which
will include any loans that fund within 60 days of closings) and hitting the blended
spreads set forth in the targets as set forth in the CapitalSource Bank Forecast presented
at the CapitalSource Bank February 2011 Board Meeting. For the satisfaction of the blended
spread target, consideration will be given to any originations funded over and above the
targeted amounts at lower spreads.

	     3.	 	Experiencing during 2011 less than 0.5% of credit losses (charge offs or specific
reserves) for 2010 vintage originations and 0.25% for 2011 vintage originations. For
purposes of losses on portfolio acquisitions, only losses in excess of the purchase
discount will be counted as credit losses.

Other Performance Measures:

	     4.	 	Achieving the budgeted Parent Company operating expense levels per the 2011 Parent
Company budget to be formally approved by the Board of Directors at the April 2011 Board
Meeting.

	     5.	 	Converting CapitalSource Bank’s Charter from an Industrial Loan Corporation to a
Commercial Bank or continuing to make significant progress toward such a conversion as
determined by the Board of Directors.

	     6.	 	Continuing to reduce the level of Parent Company assets through a focus on reducing the
level of Classified Assets.

	     7.	 	Continuing to simplify the overall operating structure of the Parent Company through
continued movement of employees into CapitalSource Bank and simplifying the management
structure (to the extent permitted by regulators).

 

Bonus Targets

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may use its discretion to adjust — up or down
— the following bonus targets and to determine whether the success factors have been achieved to
the extent there are judgments to be employed or mitigating factors exist:

To achieve Bonus at or above 100% of Base Salary:

	     •	 	All of the 3 Primary Financial Goals and at least 3 of the 4 Other Performance Measures.

To achieve Bonus at or above 75% of Base Salary:

	     •	 	At least 2 of the 3 Primary Financial Goals and at least 2 of the 4 Other Performance
Measures.exv10w32

the foregoing or any vesting schedule in your award agreements or other provisions of the Plan, (y)
if your Separation Date occurs during the Agreement Period and your termination of employment is

(24) months following consummation of a Change of Control, or (ii) at any time within the period
commencing three (3) months prior to the execution of a binding agreement for a Change of Control
and ending on the date of such Change of Control or, if earlier, the date that such transaction is

shall pay to you (A) your then applicable base salary due through the Separation Date, and (B) a
lump sum cash payment equal to one times your base salary as of the Separation Date plus the

During and following the Agreement Period you agree not to, and not to induce or cause any other
person or entity to, make negative statements or communications disparaging the Company or its
affiliates or its or their officers, directors, shareholders, members, agents, business, practices
or products, and understand that any such statements or communications of this nature shall be
considered a violation of this Agreement. Making truthful statements in response to legal process,
required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including,
without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings) will not violate this
obligation.

In consideration of your employment and continued employment by the Company or its affiliates

affiliates as follows:

	 	(A)	 	All proprietary information of the Company or its affiliates, including,
without limitation, relating to financial information, employee data, personal
information with respect to any employee, customer lists, and the physical embodiments
of such information, whether having existed, now existing, or to be developed or
created during your employment unless otherwise in the public domain (“Company
Confidential Information”) is covered by this Agreement. During your employment with
the Company or its affiliates, you have had and will have access to and become
acquainted with Company Confidential Information. You acknowledge and agree that the
interests afforded protection by this Agreement are the

 

 

Bryan Smith

	 	 	 	Company’s and its affiliates’ legitimate business interests, deserving of
protection. You agree to preserve the confidential and proprietary nature of Company
Confidential Information and materials. During and after your employment with the
Company, you will not misuse, misappropriate, or disclose any Company Confidential
Information, directly or indirectly, to any other person, use any Company
Confidential Information for the benefit of any competitor of the Company or its
affiliates or use Company Confidential Information in any way, except as is required
in the course of your employment by the Company or its affiliates. You agree not to
retain any copies of any Company Confidential Information and Company-owned
materials after the termination of your employment.
	 
	 	(B)	 	For twelve (12) months after the Separation Date (regardless of the reason
for termination of employment), you agree not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit,
entice, persuade or induce any individual who is employed by the Company or its
affiliates (or who was so employed within ninety (90) days prior to your action) to
terminate such employment or to become employed with any other person or entity other
than the Company or its affiliates, and you shall not approach any such employee for
any such purpose or knowingly assist in the taking of any such action by any other
person or entity, (ii) solicit or encourage any of the Company’s or its affiliates’
existing borrowers to transfer or refinance a loan from the Company or its affiliates
to another entity, or (iii) solicit on behalf of anyone other than the Company or its

any time during the three (3)-month period preceding your termination in the Company’s
systems.
	 
	 	 	 	You acknowledge and agree that the Company’s and its affiliates’ business is
national in scope, enabling the Company and its affiliates and you to regularly
provide services to customers nationwide, and that the agreements and covenants set
forth above are essential to protect the business and goodwill of the Company and
its affiliates. You further acknowledge that this Agreement does not restrict your
ability to be gainfully employed, and that the geographic boundaries, scope of
prohibited activities, and time duration of covenants set forth above are
reasonable in nature and no broader than are necessary to protect the Company’s and
its affiliates’ legitimate business interests. You further acknowledge that any
violation of these restrictions would cause the Company and its affiliates
substantial irreparable injury. Accordingly, you agree that a remedy at law for
any breach of the covenants or obligations in this Agreement would be inadequate,
and that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available, shall be
entitled to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure specific
performance of such covenants and to prevent a breach or contemplated or threatened

employment provide to any person or entity any information that concerns or relates to the
negotiation of or circumstances leading to the execution of this Agreement or any of the terms and
conditions of your employment, except (a) to the extent that such disclosure is (1) specifically
required by law or legal process, or (2) authorized in writing in advance by the Company’s General
Counsel or Senior Vice President of Human Resources, (b) to your accountants or tax advisors as may
be necessary for the preparation of tax returns or other reports required by law, (c) to your
attorneys as may be necessary to secure advice concerning this Agreement, or (d) to your immediate

paragraph, you will inform the recipients that they are bound by the limitations of this paragraph.
You further agree that the Company shall have the right to reasonably determine that subsequent
disclosures of such information by any such recipients may be deemed to be a disclosure by you in
breach of this Agreement.

After termination of your employment with the Company or its affiliates for any reason, you further
agree, subject to the limitations that may be applicable in connection with your then current
employment, to fully assist and cooperate with reasonable requests of the Company or its affiliates
in future business or legal-related matters about which you possess relevant knowledge or
information. Such cooperation shall be provided only at the Company’s or its affiliates’ specific
request and will include, but not be limited to, assisting or advising the Company and its
affiliates with respect to any business-related matters or any actual or threatened legal action
about which you have relevant knowledge or information. For example, the Company may request that
you provide assistance and advice to Company agents and attorneys to prepare the defense or
prosecution of any case in which the Company or any of its affiliates is a party, or to assist in
the preparation of discovery requests and responses, or testify in depositions, hearings, or
trials. After your termination of employment from the Company or its affiliates for any reason,
the Company agrees to pay you a reasonable hourly rate for time spent on substantial matters and to
reimburse you for any out-of-pocket expenses you incur in providing such assistance.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all other agreements with respect to the subject matter
hereof, including, without limitation any confidentiality agreements or offer letters which are
hereby terminated (it being understood and agreed that the Plan and any award agreements pursuant
thereto remain in effect and are not terminated by this Agreement). You agree that this Agreement
shall be interpreted and governed by the
