EXHIBIT B
To Amendment No. 5 to
Loan Certificate and
Servicing Agreement

FORM OF VARIABLE FUNDING CERTIFICATE

     THIS VARIABLE FUNDING CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). NEITHER THIS VARIABLE FUNDING CERTIFICATE NOR ANY PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION PROVISIONS.

     THIS VARIABLE FUNDING CERTIFICATE IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE PLEDGED OR CONVEYED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE LOAN CERTIFICATE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN.

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CAPITALSOURCE ACQUISITION FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), promises to pay to Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (“WCM”), as the purchaser agent (the “Purchaser Agent”), or its or Variable Funding Capital Corporation’s (“VFCC”) assigns, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000), or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the aggregate advances (“Advances”) made by VFCC to the Seller pursuant to the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement (as defined below), as set forth on the attached Schedule, on the dates specified in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance on each day that such unpaid principal amount is outstanding, at the Interest Rate related to such Advance as provided in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, on each Payment Date and each other date specified in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement.

     This Variable Funding Certificate (the “Certificate”) is issued pursuant to the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2003, by and among the Seller, as the seller, CapitalSource Finance LLC, as the originator and as the servicer, VFCC, as the purchaser, WCM, as the administrative agent, the purchaser agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (successor by merger to Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association), as the backup servicer and as the collateral custodian. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Certificate are used with the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2003, Amendment No. 2 to Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2003, Amendment No. 3 to Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 27, 2003, Amendment No. 4 to Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 26, 2004 and Amendment No. 5 to Loan Certificate and

B-1

Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2004 (collectively, the “Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement”).

     Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Certificate, if at any time the rate of interest payable by the Seller under this Certificate, when combined with any and all other charges provided for in this Certificate, in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement or in any other document (to the extent such other charges would constitute interest for the purpose of any applicable law limiting interest that may be charged on this Certificate), exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded the rate of interest under this Certificate shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable under this Certificate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Seller shall continue to pay interest under this Certificate at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest paid by the Seller is equal to the total interest that would have been paid had applicable law not limited the interest rate payable under this Certificate. In no event shall the total interest received by VFCC under this Certificate exceed the amount which VFCC could lawfully have received had the interest due under this Certificate been calculated since the date of this Certificate at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

     Payments of the principal of, and interest on, Advances represented by this Certificate shall be made by or on behalf of the Seller to the holder hereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the manner and at the address specified for such purpose as provided in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, or in such manner or at such other address as the holder of this Certificate shall have specified in writing to the Seller for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation on this Certificate.

     If any payment under this Certificate falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended at the applicable Interest Rate.

     If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount hereof or (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any other amounts payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to the Base Rate plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid in full.

     Portions or all of the principal amount of the Certificate shall become due and payable at the time or times set forth in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement. Any portion or all of the principal amount of this Certificate may be prepaid, together with interest thereon (and, as set forth in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, certain costs and expenses of VFCC) at the time and in the manner set forth in, but subject to the provisions of, the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement.

     Except as provided in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, the Seller expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Certificate.

B-2

     All amounts evidenced by this Certificate, VFCC’s Advances and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and the respective dates and maturity dates thereof shall be endorsed by the Purchaser Agent, on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof or on a continuation thereof, which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided, however, that the failure of the Purchaser Agent to make such a notation shall not in any way limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Seller under this Certificate as provided in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement.

     The holder hereof may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of any Advances made by VFCC and represented by this Certificate and the indebtedness evidenced by this Certificate.

     This Certificate is secured by the security interests granted pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement. The holder of this Certificate is entitled to the benefits of the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement and may enforce the agreements of the Seller contained in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement and exercise the remedies provided for by, or otherwise available in respect of, the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, all in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the terms of the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement. If a Termination Event shall occur, the unpaid balance of the principal of all Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be declared, and become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement.

     The Seller, the Originator, the Servicer, the Purchaser, the Collateral Custodian and the Backup Servicer each intend, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, that the Certificate be evidence of indebtedness of the Seller secured by the Assets. VFCC, as a Purchaser under the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to treat the Certificate for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Seller.

     This Certificate is the “Variable Funding Certificate” referred to in Section 2.1 of the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement and represents a fractional undivided ownership interest in the Assets to the extent provided in the Loan Certificate and Servicing Agreement. This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.
