     SECOND AMENDMENT AND WAIVER, dated as of August 28, 2009 (this “Amendment”), to the Fourth
Amended and Restated Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of June 16, 2009 (as amended by that
certain First Amendment dated as of July 14, 2009, and as further amended, restated, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), by and among CapitalSource Real Estate
Loan LLC, 2007-A, as the seller (the “Seller”), CSE Mortgage LLC, as the originator (the
“Originator”), and as the servicer (the “Servicer”), each of the Issuers from time to time party
thereto (collectively, the “Issuers”), each of the Liquidity Banks from time to time party thereto
(collectively, the “Liquidity Banks”), Citicorp North America, Inc., as the administrative agent
for the Issuers and Liquidity Banks thereunder (the “Administrative Agent”), and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, not in its individual capacity but as the backup servicer (the “Backup
Servicer”), and not in its individual capacity but as the collateral custodian (the “Collateral
Custodian”). Terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in
the Agreement.

     The parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement and waive certain provisions of the Agreement
in the manner provided herein.

     Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1. Amendments to the Agreement.

     Effective as of the Effective Date, the
Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

     (i) the definition of “Consolidated Tangible Net Worth” in Section 1.1 thereof is
deleted and replaced as follows:

“Consolidated Tangible Net Worth”: As of any date of determination, the assets less
the liabilities of CapitalSource Inc. and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, the
CapitalSource Bank Entities and each Healthcare REIT Consolidated Subsidiary, less
intangible assets (including goodwill), less loans or advances to stockholders,
directors, officers or employees, plus an amount equal to the lesser of (i) any
valuation allowance established in accordance with FAS 109 relating to deferred tax
assets and (ii) 270,000,000, all determined in accordance with GAAP; provided,
however, that if CapitalSource Inc.’s financial statements as of such date include
goodwill created as a result of the CapitalSource Bank Transaction, then all such
goodwill in an amount not to exceed $200,000,000 shall be treated as a tangible
asset for the purpose of this definition; provided, further, however, that with
respect to any Consolidated Subsidiary, CapitalSource Bank Entity or Healthcare REIT
Consolidated Subsidiary that all of the shares of Capital Stock are not, directly or
indirectly, owned by CapitalSource Inc., then, with respect to any such Person, the
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of such Person shall be calculated by multiplying
the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of such Person by the percentage of the
aggregate proceeds that would be distributed to CapitalSource Inc., directly or
indirectly, upon the dissolution of such Person.

     Section 2. Waiver.

     The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to Section
2.8 of the Agreement, Borrower was obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent a Special Reduction
Amount equal to $30,095,012.60 on the Special Reduction Amount Date that occurred on July 27, 2009
(the “Applicable Special Reduction Amount”). Pursuant to that certain Waiver dated as of July 27,
2009, that certain Waiver Extension dated as of July 31, 2009, that certain Second Waiver Extension
dated as of July 31, 2009 and that certain Third Waiver Extension dated as of August 7, 2009, the
due date for payment of the Applicable Special Reduction Amount was extended to August 28, 2009. The
parties hereto hereby agree that notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8, the Applicable
Special Reduction Amount shall be paid in installments as follows:

 

 

     (i) a payment of $15,047,506.30 concurrently with execution hereof;

     (ii) a payment of $7,523,753.15 on the earliest to occur of (A) October 20, 2009, (B)
the date which is two Business Days after the date on which the aggregate amount of
“Collateral Proceeds” (as defined in the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof)
generated after the date hereof pursuant to clause (c)(ii) of the definition of “Collateral
Proceeds” in the Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), equals or exceeds
$50,000,000, or (C) the date which is two Business Days after the earlier to occur of (1)
the date, if any, on which the aggregate outstanding loan amount under the “Specified Loans”
set forth on Exhibit A hereto exceeds for the two previous Business Days the sum of (a) the
“Maximum Aggregate Outstanding Amount” set forth on Exhibit A hereto on any “Testing Date”
set forth on Exhibit A hereto, plus (b) 5% of the CSE Cash & Cash Equivalent Amount (as
defined below), and (2) the date, if any, on which the aggregate outstanding loan amount
under the “Specified Loans” set forth on Exhibit A hereto exceeds an amount equal to sum of
(a) the “Maximum Aggregate Outstanding Amount” set forth on Exhibit A hereto on any “Testing
Date” set forth on Exhibit A hereto plus (b) 10% of the CSE Cash & Cash Equivalent Amount
(as defined below) (any such occurrence of the events set forth in this clause (ii)(C), the
“Accelerated Payment Trigger”); and

     (iii) a payment of $7,523,753.15 on the earliest to occur of (A) November 20, 2009, (B)
the date which is two Business Days after the date on which the aggregate amount of
“Collateral Proceeds” (as defined in the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof)
generated after the date hereof pursuant to clause (c)(ii) of the definition of “Collateral
Proceeds” in the Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), equals or exceeds
$100,000,000, or (C) the date which is two Business Days after the date on which any
Accelerated Payment Trigger occurs.

In connection with clauses (ii)(C) and (iii)(C) above and the determination of whether an
Accelerated Payment Trigger has occurred, Seller and Servicer hereby agree to deliver to
Administrative Agent, on the first Business Day of each week during August 2009, September 2009,
October 2009 and November 2009, documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
evidencing the aggregate outstanding loan amount of the “Specified Loans” set forth on Exhibit A as
of such date and the CSE Cash & Cash Equivalent Amount for such date.

Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii)
above in accordance with such clauses, Borrower shall be deemed to have complied in full with its
obligation to pay the Applicable Special Reduction Amount in accordance with Section 2.8 of the
Agreement.

For the purposes hereof, “CSE Cash & Cash Equivalent Amount” for any “Testing Date” set forth on
Exhibit A means CapitalSource Inc.’s cash and cash equivalents on such Testing Date (as would be
reported as “Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents” in CapitalSource Inc.’s Credit Agreement
covenant compliance report if such report were prepared as of such Testing Date).

     Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Seller and the Servicer.

     Each of the Seller and the Servicer, jointly and severally, hereby represents and warrants as
of the date hereof as follows (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Amendment):

     (i) The representations and warranties of each of the Seller and the Servicer set forth
in the Agreement are true and correct on and as of such date, after giving effect to this

and agreements set forth in the Transaction Documents; and

     (iv) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Seller and the Servicer
and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller and Servicer, and is
enforceable in accordance with its terms subject (x) as to enforcement of remedies, to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, from time to time in effect, and
(y) to general principles of equity.

     Section 4. Effective Date; Continued Effectiveness; Governing Law; Counterparts.

     (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Amendment, duly
executed and delivered on behalf of each of the parties hereto;

     (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received the amounts payable on the Effective
Date pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2 hereof; and

     (iii) the Originator shall have paid all outstanding fees and expenses of counsel to
the Administrative Agent.

     (b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any covenant, or agreement contained in,
or any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event under the Agreement and each of the parties
hereto agrees that all other covenants and agreements and other provisions contained in the
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as modified by this Amendment shall remain in full
force and effect from and after the date of this Amendment.

     (c) THIS AMENDMENT, AND THE AGREEMENT AS AMENDED BY THE AMENDMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE
OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

     (d) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties

Exhibit 10.1

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

          THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of October 28, 2009 (the “Agreement”), is entered into
by and between Tecumseh Products Company, a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), and Herrick
Foundation, a Michigan nonprofit corporation (the “Foundation”).

          WHEREAS,
the Company and the Foundation, a significant shareholder of the
Company, engaged in
a proxy contest (the “Proxy Contest”) in 2009 related to the election of certain directors to the
Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and, as determined by the votes cast at the 2009 annual
shareholders’ meeting held on August 14, 2009, the Foundation won the Proxy Contest;

          WHEREAS, the Proxy Contest involved disparate views over corporate policy;

          WHEREAS,
the Proxy Contest and the election of the Foundation’s slate of directors to the
Board conferred a benefit upon the Company;

          WHEREAS,
the Foundation has requested that the Company reimburse the Foundation its
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Proxy Contest and the Foundation’s
proxy statement advised the shareholders that the Foundation
intended to seek reimbursement from
the Company of such expenses if successful without further shareholder approval;

          WHEREAS,
the Audit Committee of the Company, acting upon a proper delegation from the Board,
has determined to reimburse the Foundation its reasonable expenses in
the amount of $1,121,947.22
(the “Reimbursement”) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.1 Representations and Warranties of the Foundation. The Foundation represents and warrants
to the Company that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Foundation, and is a valid and binding obligation of the Foundation, enforceable against the
Foundation in accordance with its terms.

     1.2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to
the Foundation that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company, and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms.

     2.1 The Company’s Covenants. Within 10 business days from the date of execution of this
Agreement by both parties, the Company shall tender and deliver to
the Foundation the sum of $l,121,947.22.

 

 

     2.2.
The Foundation’s Covenants. If a final non-appealable judgment, issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction, is entered stating that any or all of the Reimbursement by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement was improperly tendered to the Foundation, the Foundation agrees to
repay to the Company the amount of the Reimbursement deemed improperly tendered. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Foundation’s obligations under this paragraph 2.2 shall
be limited solely to any such amount of the Reimbursement deemed to have been improperly tendered
by the Company to the Foundation, and shall not include any attorney, expert or other fees, costs,
or expenditures of any nature related to any challenge to or defense of the Reimbursement.

     3.1 The Company’s Releases. The Company, on behalf of itself, its directors, officers,
employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Company Releasors”), does hereby, fully
and forever, release and discharge the Foundation and its attorneys, employees, representatives and
agents (collectively, the “Foundation Releasees”) from any and all actions, claims, complaints,
rights or causes of action, debts, demands or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, statutory,
equitable or legal, foreseen or unforeseen, known or unknown, matured or unmatured that the Company
Releasors have, may have or might claim to have against the Foundation Releasees through the date
hereof related to or arising out of the matters listed on Schedule A to this Agreement;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall release any claims that the Company Releasors
hereafter may have against the Foundation Releasees arising from this Agreement.

     3.2. The Foundation’s Releases. The Foundation, on behalf of itself, its employees,
representatives and agents (collectively, the “Foundation
Releasors”), does hereby, fully and
forever, release and discharge the Company, its directors, officers, employees, attorneys,
representatives and agents (collectively, the “Company Releasees”) from any and all actions,
claims, complaints, rights or causes of action, debts, demands or suits of any kind or nature
whatsoever, statutory, equitable or legal, foreseen or unforeseen, known or unknown, matured or
unmatured that the Foundation Releasors have, may have or might claim to have against the Company
Releasees through the date hereof related to or arising out of the matters listed on Schedule
A to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall release any claims
that the Foundation Releasors hereafter may have against the Company Releasees arising from this
Agreement.

     4.1 Specific Performance. The Foundation, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other
hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other party hereto would occur in the
event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific
terms or were otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable in
damages. It is accordingly agreed that the Foundation, on the one hand, and the Company, on the
other hand, shall each be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent
any violation of, the terms hereof and the other party hereto will not take action, directly or
indirectly, in opposition to the party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or
relief is available at law or in equity.

SCHEDULE A

1. Option Granted to Tricap Partners II, L.P. In November 2006, the Foundation granted to Tricap
Partners II, L.P. (“Tripcap”) an option to purchase shares of Class B and Class A Stock of the
Company in exchange for Tricap’s making a $100,000,000 Second Lien Credit Agreement available to
the Company. On September 25, 2008, Tricap exercised its option to purchase 500,000 shares of Class
B Stock from the Foundation at $16.00 a share, which was lower than the market price of the Class B
Stock at that time.

2. The 2007 Lawsuits. In February 2007, the Foundation notified the Company that it intended to
nominate Todd Herrick and two new directors for election as a majority on the board at the 2007
annual meeting of shareholders. The Company responded by increasing the size of the board so that
the Foundation’s nominees, if elected, would represent a minority. On March 6, 2007, in response
to the Company’s action, Todd Herrick and the Foundation filed a lawsuit against Albert A. Koch,
Peter M. Banks, David M. Risley (collectively, the “Director Defendants”) and the Company
in the Lenawee County Circuit Court (the “Herrick Lawsuit”). The court directed the Company
either to allow the Foundation to nominate another director or to return the board to its former
size so that the Foundation’s nominees would still constitute a majority of the board.

     The Company and the Foundation ultimately settled the Herrick Lawsuit, as well as a related
lawsuit filed by the Company, captioned Tecumseh Products Company v. Todd Herrick et al.,
Case No. 2:07-cv-11144, United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern
Division. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, among other things: (1) Todd Herrick resigned from
the board and the board appointed Kent Herrick to fill the vacancy (2) new directors were
appointed, including Edwin L. Buker and Steven J. Lebowski, the latter of which was a Foundation
nominee, (3) Edwin L. Buker was appointed president and chief executive officer and (4) James J.
Bonsall ceased to be the interim president and chief operating officer. As a minority on the board,
Kent Herrick and Steven Lewbowski agreed to exercise their voting rights in a manner consistent
with the terms of the settlement agreement through the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders, which
was held April 30, 2008.

3. 2008 Special Meeting. In 2008, the Company amended its bylaws to raise the percentage of shares
needed to call a special meeting of shareholders from 50% to 75%, which prompted the Foundation to
file suit in the Lenawee County Circuit Court (the “Special Meeting Lawsuit”) challenging
the Company’s action. The Special Meeting Lawsuit asked the court, among other things, to
invalidate the bylaw amendment and require the Company to hold a special meeting of its
shareholders, at which the Foundation would seek to remove Peter M. Banks and David M. Risley from
the board. The court ordered the Company to hold a special meeting on November 21, 2008, at which
time the shareholders voted to keep Peter Banks and David Risley as directors. On December 5, 2008,
the Company amended the special meeting threshold requirement in its bylaws back to 50%.

4. Stock Split. On December 5, 2008, the Company announced a stock split without requiring
shareholder approval. Pursuant to the stock split, two Class A shares would be issued for every
share of common stock outstanding, which would make Class B shares less than 10%

  

 

of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Due to a conversion provision in the
Charter, this effect would result in the automatic conversion of all outstanding Class A shares
into Class B shares. On December 8, 2008, the Foundation filed a lawsuit against the Company in the
Lenawee County Circuit Court (the “Stock Split Lawsuit”). The Stock Split Lawsuit asked the
court, among other things, to declare the stock split invalid and enjoin the Company from issuing
the stock split. On December 23, 2008, the court issued a preliminary injunction to enjoin the
stock split. Although the Company sought leave to appeal, the Michigan Court of Appeals denied the
Company’s application.

5. 2009 Proxy Fight. In conjunction with the Company’s 2009 annual meeting of the shareholders
held on August 14, 2009 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Foundation and the Company engaged in a
proxy contest in which each party sought to have its proposed slate of directors elected to the
Company’s board of directors. Based on the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, it was determined
that the Foundation’s slate of directors were elected by the shareholders to serve on the Company’s
board of directors.
