LIMITED WAIVER
     This LIMITED WAIVER is entered into as of February 10, 2009 (this “Limited Waiver”), by and among CAPITALSOURCE INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Initial Borrower”), the other Credit Parties party hereto, the Lenders party hereto and WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), amending the Credit Agreement referred to below.
     WHEREAS, the Initial Borrower, the other Credit Parties party thereto, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 14, 2006 (as amended as of June 30, 2006, December 20, 2006, June 29, 2007, December 19, 2007, June 26, 2008 and December 23, 2008 and as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);
     WHEREAS, the Initial Borrower has requested that the Required Lenders grant a limited waiver as specified herein; and
     WHEREAS, the Required Lenders are willing to grant such limited waiver on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
     1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
     2. Limited Waiver under Credit Agreement. The Required Lenders hereby waive any Default or Event of Default that may arise under Section 5.32(f) of the Credit Agreement as a result of a failure to comply with the financial covenant set forth in such Section in respect of the four quarter period ended December 31, 2008; provided, however, that such waiver shall expire and be of no further force or effect on and after March 31, 2009.
     3. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Limited Waiver shall become effective as of the date hereof when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Limited Waiver executed by the Initial Borrower, each other Credit Party and the Required Lenders.
     4. Representation of Credit Parties. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that, except as specified in Section 2 above, after giving effect to this Limited Waiver, (a) each representation and warranty made by such Credit Party in the Credit Agreement and other Credit Documents is true and correct in all respects on the date hereof (or on the date to which it relates, in the case of any representation or warranty that specifically relates to another date), and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
     5. Limited Effect. The waiver contained herein is expressly limited in effect to the specific waiver set forth in Section 2 above.
     6. Counterparts. This Limited Waiver may be executed in several counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute but one and

 


 

the same Limited Waiver. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Limited Waiver by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Limited Waiver.
     7. Governing Law. THIS LIMITED WAIVER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.
     8. Credit Documents Remain in Effect.
          (a) Except as expressly provided herein, all provisions, terms and conditions of the Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect.
          (b) Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have, except as expressly set forth herein.
          (c) As temporarily modified hereby, the Credit Agreement is ratified and confirmed in all respects. During the period of the limited waiver set forth in Section 2 above, whenever the “Credit Agreement” is referred to in the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any of the exhibits, schedules or annexes thereto or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, it shall be deemed to mean the Credit Agreement as temporarily modified hereby. The other Credit Documents are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
     9. No Other Agreements. This Limited Waiver sets forth the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supercedes any prior agreements, written or oral, relating thereto.
