Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. Introductory. CapitalSource Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (the
“Underwriters”) an aggregate of 17,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the “Firm Securities”), pursuant to the terms of this Underwriting
Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the
Underwriters an aggregate of not more than an additional 2,625,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Optional Securities”), if and to the extent that the
Underwriters shall have determined to exercise the right to purchase such shares of common stock
granted in Section 4(b) hereof. The Firm Securities and the Optional Securities are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Offered Securities.” The shares of common stock, $0.01
par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) to be outstanding after giving
effect to the sales of the Offered Securities are hereinafter referred to as the
“Securities.” The respective number of shares of the Offered Securities to be purchased,
severally but not jointly, by the several Underwriters are set forth opposite their names in
Schedule A hereto. The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the Underwriters.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants
to, and agrees with, the several Underwriters that:
(a) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined in Rule 405 under the
Act, on Form S-3 (File No. 333-154922) in respect of the Offered Securities and certain other
securities not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof; such registration statement, and
any post-effective amendment thereto, became effective immediately upon filing. The various parts
of such registration statement, including all exhibits and schedules thereto, the documents
incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act at such time, the
documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the Rules and Regulations
(as defined below) at such time, and any prospectus supplement relating to the Offered Securities
that is filed with the Commission and deemed by virtue of Rule 430B under the Act to be part of
such registration statement, each as amended at the time such part of the registration statement
became effective, are hereinafter collectively called the “Registration Statement.” No
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof has been
issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or, to the best of the Company’s
knowledge, threatened by the Commission, and no notice of objection of the Commission to the
use of such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule
401(g)(2) under the Act has been received by the Company. The base prospectus filed as part of the
Registration Statement, in the form in which it has most recently been filed with the Commission on
or prior to the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Basic Prospectus.” On
July 13, 2009, the Company filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act a
preliminary prospectus supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to the Offered Securities
(together with the Basic Prospectus, the “Preliminary Prospectus”). Promptly after
execution and delivery of the Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a final prospectus
supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to the Offered Securities in accordance with the
provisions of Rule 424(b) under the Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”). Any reference
herein to the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, or the

Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, or the Prospectus shall be
deemed to refer to and include any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, any

424(b) under the Act and any documents filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), and incorporated therein, in each case after the date of the Basic

Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration Statement that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the
Prospectus shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic

6
(u) No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any subsidiary exists or, to the

controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company

financial officer or officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

trademarks, trade names and other rights to inventions, know-how, patents, copyrights, confidential
information and other intellectual property (collectively, “intellectual property rights”)
necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, or presently employed by them, and have not
received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to
any intellectual property rights that, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.
(x) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, neither the
Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any statute, any rule, regulation, decision
or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, relating to the use,
disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or relating to the protection or restoration
of the environment or human exposure to hazardous or toxic substances (collectively,
“environmental laws”), owns or operates any real property contaminated with any substance
that is subject to any environmental laws, is, to its knowledge, liable for any off site disposal
or contamination pursuant to any environmental laws, or is subject to any claim relating to any
environmental laws, or is, to its knowledge, which violation, contamination, liability or claim
would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect; and the Company is not aware
of any pending investigation which might lead to such a claim.
(y) The Company and its subsidiaries, in the aggregate, carry, or are covered by, insurance
(issued by insurers of recognized financial responsibility to the best knowledge of the Company)
against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are generally deemed adequate for the
respective businesses in which they are engaged; neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for; and neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries has any reason to believe that the Company or its subsidiaries would not be able
to renew its existing
7
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not,
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, except as described in or
contemplated by the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package. All such insurance is fully in
force on the date hereof and will be fully in force at the Closing Date and any settlement date for
the Optional Securities.
(z) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, there are no
pending actions, suits or proceedings (including, to the knowledge of the Company, any inquiries or
investigations by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign) against or
affecting the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that, if
determined adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would individually or in the
aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, or would materially and adversely affect the ability of
the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or which are otherwise material in the
context of the sale of the Offered Securities; and to the Company’s knowledge, no such actions,
suits or proceedings (including any inquiries or investigations by any court or governmental agency
or body, domestic or foreign) are threatened or contemplated.
(aa) The Company and its subsidiaries and each real property currently leased or owned or
controlled by them, or to be leased or owned or to be controlled by them are currently in
compliance with all presently applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as
amended, except for any such non-compliance that would not, individually or in aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(bb) Except for any contracts or documents that are required to be filed as exhibits to the
Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, there are no contracts or documents of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries which are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement by the Act or the rules and regulations thereunder or incorporated by reference into the
Registration Statement under the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, which have
not been so filed or incorporated; and the statements in the General Disclosure Package and the
Prospectus under the headings “Description of Capital Stock” insofar as such statements summarize
legal matters, agreements, documents or proceedings discussed therein, are accurate and fair
summaries of such legal matters, agreements, documents or proceedings.
(cc) Ernst & Young LLP, who have certified the consolidated financial statements of the
Company, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008, as recasted in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 1, 2009, and who is
expected to certify the consolidated financial statements of the Company to be included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 when the same is
filed with the Commission, are independent public accountants as required under the Act.
(dd) The financial statements (together with the related notes thereto) of the Company,
included in, or incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and the
General Disclosure Package present fairly the financial position of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates shown and their results of operations and cash flows for
the periods shown, and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied
on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved. and the assumptions used in preparing the
pro forma financial data of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, and the General Disclosure Package provide a reasonable basis for
presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the transactions or events described
therein, the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions, and the
pro forma data therein reflect the proper application of those adjustments to the corresponding
historical financial statement amounts. The pro forma financial
8
statements of the Company included , or incorporated by reference, if any, in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Regulation S-X under the Act and the pro
forma adjustments have been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of those
statements. Other than “Adjusted Earnings” and related per diluted share amount, none of the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or the General Disclosure Package contains or incorporates
by reference any non-GAAP financial information subject to the requirements of Regulation G and
Item 10 of Regulation S-K.
(ee) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, since the end
of the period covered by the latest audited financial statements incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package (i) there has been no change, nor any development or
event involving a prospective change, in the financial condition, results of operations, business
or properties of the Company and the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that is
material and adverse and (ii) except as disclosed in or contemplated by the Prospectus and the
General Disclosure Package, there has been no material adverse change in the capital stock,
short-term indebtedness, long-term indebtedness, net current assets or net assets of the Company
and its subsidiaries.
(ff) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is or, after giving effect to the
offering and sale of the Offered Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as
described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, will be, an “investment company”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company
Act”).
(gg) The Company has not, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed to cause or to
result in, or that has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to constitute, the
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or
resale of the Offered Securities.
(hh) Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates under the Company’s control has, either
alone or with one or more other persons, bid for or purchased for any account in which it or any of
its affiliates had a beneficial interest any Offered Securities or attempt to induce any person to
purchase any Offered Securities.
(ii) The Company and its Significant Subsidiaries have filed all federal, state, local and
foreign tax returns which have been required to be filed and have paid within the time and manner
prescribed by law all taxes due and payable that are not being contested in good faith, except

(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Offered Securities, the Company will not
file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Prospectus Supplement

pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will
provide evidence satisfactory to the Representative of such timely filing. The Company will

to termination of the offering of the Offered Securities, any amendment to the Registration
Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission or its
staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus
Supplement or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop

use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by
the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Offered
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order
or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and,
upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal
of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing
an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its best
efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as
practicable.
(b) At any time when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Act (except as
provided by Rule 172(b) under the Act), the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations in
connection with sales of the Offered Securities, the Company will give the Representative notice of
its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment,
supplement or revision to either the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time

otherwise, and will furnish to the Representative, without charge, copies of any such documents a
reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not

Disclosure Package and Prospectus and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration
Statement as the Representative may reasonably request.

of which an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts or would conflict with the information
contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus or

material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, the Company will
promptly notify the Representative and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement, or
omission. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free

counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus and the General
Disclosure Package to comply with applicable law the Company will promptly notify the
Representative of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission and furnish, at
its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any other dealers (whose names and addresses the
Representative will furnish to the Company) to which the Offered Securities may have either been
sold by or on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments
or supplements to the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package which will correct such
statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the
Representative’s consent to or delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a
waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.

the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative designates and will continue such

date, as applicable, of Ernst & Young LLP which meets the requirements of subsection (a) of this
Section, except that the specified date referred to in such subsection will be a date not more than
three days prior to such Closing Date or the settlement date, as applicable, for the purposes of
this subsection.
(g) No Underwriter shall have notice of an adverse claim on the Offered Securities within the
meaning of Section 8-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”).
18
(h) On the Closing Date and any settlement date on which the Optional Securities are
purchased, counsel for the Underwriters shall have been furnished with such certificates, documents
and opinions as they may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the
issuance and sale of the Offered Securities as herein contemplated and related proceedings, or in
order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of
any of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company in connection
with the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities, as herein contemplated, shall be satisfactory
in form and substance to you and counsel for the Underwriters. The Representative may in its sole
discretion waive compliance with any conditions hereunder.
(i) The “lock-up” agreements, each substantially in the form of Exhibit C
hereto, between you and the individuals and beneficial owners of the Company identified on
Exhibit C-1 relating to sales and certain other dispositions of shares of Common
Stock or certain other securities, shall have been delivered to you on or before the Closing
Date and shall be in full force and effect on the Closing Date.
(j) No action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall
have been enacted, adopted or issued by any federal, state or foreign governmental or
regulatory authority that would, as of the Closing Date and any settlement date on which the
Optional Securities are purchased, as the case may be, prevent the issuance or sale of the
Offered Securities; and no injunction or order of any federal, state or foreign court shall
have been issued that would, as of the Closing Date and any settlement date on which the
Optional Securities are purchased, as the case may be, prevent the issuance or sale of the
Offered Securities.
If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided
in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and
counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may
be terminated at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representative. Notice of such
termination shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in
writing.
9. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its officers, employees,
agents, partners, members, directors, investment advisers, counsels and its affiliates and each
person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become
subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under
the Act, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus (in each case, as amended or supplemented
if the Company shall have furnished any supplements or amendments thereto), and any other
prospectus relating to the Offered Securities, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating,
preparing or defending against any loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation,
investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto)
whether threatened or commenced and in connection with the enforcement of this provision with
respect to any of the above as such
19
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such
documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
any Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein, it being understood and
agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection
(b) below.
(b) Each Underwriter will severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a “Underwriter Indemnified
Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) to
which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement,
the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, and
the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
such Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection
with investigating, preparing or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action,
litigation, investigation or proceeding whether threatened or commenced based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are
incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any
Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each
Underwriter: the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the paragraph under the caption
“Underwriting;” provided, however, that the Underwriters shall not be liable for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its
obligations under Section 7(f) of this Agreement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the
extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or
defenses) by such failure; and provided further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than
under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to
such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel
to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent
the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnified party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs
and expenses of such separate counsel unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the
20
indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those
available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all
indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are
incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i)
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that
are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission
of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding without its prior written consent.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to
the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters from the Company under this
Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d)
shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of
this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
Offered Securities purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. The
Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant
to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated
as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9(d). No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within
21
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with any such action or claim. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to
this Section 9 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not
joint.
(f) The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability
which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each
person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of
the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the respective
Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each
director of the Company, its directors, officers, agents, investment advisers and counsels, to each
officer of the Company who has signed a Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.
10. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their
obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on any closing date and the aggregate number
of shares of the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of the Offered Securities that
the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such closing date, the Representative may make
arrangements for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the
Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such closing date, the non-defaulting
Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder,
to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase
on such closing date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of
shares of the Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10%
of the total number of shares of the Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to
purchase on such closing date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative for the purchase
of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this
Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriters (provided
that if such default occurs with respect to the Optional Securities after the Closing Date, this
Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any Optional Securities purchased prior
to such termination). As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person
substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting
Underwriter from liability for its default.
11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities,
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of
the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on
behalf of the Underwriters, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or
directors, partners, members, managers, agents, investment advisers, counsels or any controlling
person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If for any reason
the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, the respective
obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 9 shall remain in effect, and
if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder the representations and warranties in
Section 2 and all obligations under Section 7 shall also remain in effect. If the purchase of the
Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because
of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10, the Company will reimburse the
Underwriters severally through Credit Suisse on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been
22
incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Offered Securities.
The preceding sentence shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the
Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to the Representative, at Eleven
Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10010-3629, Attention: LCD-IBD, or, if sent to the Company, will be
mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to it at CapitalSource Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 12th
Floor, Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815, Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (fax: (000) 000-0000); provided,
however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 9 will be mailed, delivered or faxed
and confirmed to such Underwriter.
13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective personal representatives and successors and the partners,
members, managers, agents, investment advisers and counsels, officers and directors and controlling
persons referred to in Section 9, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
The purchaser of Offered Securities from any Underwriter shall not be deemed a successor because of
such purchase.
14. Representation. The Representative will act for the several Underwriters in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any action under this
Agreement taken by the Representative will be binding upon all the Underwriters.
15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one
and the same Agreement.
16. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
17. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York.
The Company hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts
in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
