INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
(Amended and Restated Effective as of January 1, 2008)
HISTORY AND PURPOSE
     The IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. Deferred Compensation Plan was established
effective as of July 1, 1997 as the IndyMac, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan and
was assumed by IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. (“IndyMac Bank”), formerly known as First
Federal Savings and Loan Association of San Gabriel Valley (“First Federal”)
effective as of July 1, 2000 following IndyMac Bancorp, Inc.’s (“IndyMac
Bancorp”) (formerly known as INMC Mortgage Holdings, Inc.) acquisition of SGV
Bancorp, Inc. (“SGV Bancorp”), parent company of First Federal, to provide
specified benefits to a select group of management and highly compensated
employees and directors who contribute materially to the continued growth,
development, and future business success of IndyMac Bank and its affiliates.
Effective as of January 1, 2001, the INMC Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan was merged into this Plan and IndyMac Bancorp adopted the Plan
for the benefit of a select group of its employees and directors. The Plan was
amended and restated as of September 15, 2003. On August 22, 2007, the Plan was
further amended and restated to provide Participants the choice to invest their
Deferred Account Balances and any future deferrals in a Company Stock Account.
Effective as of January 1, 2008 (the “Restatement Date”), the Plan was further
amended, restated, and continued in the form set forth below in order to add
certain provisions required to be included in the Plan pursuant to Code
Section 409A. As permitted under guidance issued under Code Section 409A, the
Plan does not contain provisions retroactive to the effective date of
Section 409A (January 1, 2005), but the Plan has complied with Section 409A and
guidance thereunder since the effective date of such legislation. Each
Participant’s Cash Account Balance on the Restatement Date will be substituted
for the Participant’s Account Balance immediately prior to the Restatement Date,
and each Participant’s Cash Deferral Account on the Restatement Date will equal
the Participant’s Deferral Account immediately prior to the Restatement Date.
This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of
ERISA.
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
     For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the
context, the following phrases or terms shall have the following indicated
meanings:

1.1   “Annual Cash Deferral Amount” shall mean (i) that portion of a
Participant’s Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, and/or Directors Fees payable
in cash that a Participant elects to have, and is deferred, in accordance with
Article 3, for any one Plan Year, plus (ii) Dividends payable on Director Stock
Compensation that a Non-Employee Director elects to have, and is deferred, in
accordance with Article 3, for any one Plan Year, plus (iii) Dividends payable
during any one Plan Year on Stock Units previously credited to a Participant’s
Director Stock Deferral Account. In the event of a Participant’s Retirement,

installment being paid within the time limits set forth in this Plan for the
various benefits available, and the next annual installment, and all annual

on June 30, 2007, and he or she elected the Annual Installment Method, subject
to Section 5.4, the first equal installment shall be payable no later than
60 days after Retirement, the next equal installment shall be payable between
January 1 and March 15 (inclusive) of each subsequent Plan Year, and each
remaining equal installment shall be payable between January 1 and March 15
(inclusive) of each consecutive Plan Year. Unless and until otherwise determined
by the Committee, Participants shall not be permitted to elect to receive
distributions pursuant to the Annual Installment Method with respect to amounts
first earned and deferred in Plan Years subsequent to 2007. The Committee may,
in its discretion, permit the use of the Annual Installment Method in the future
by adopting a new Election Form which includes such payment method as an
election alternative. In the event that the Committee permits the use of the
Annual Installment Method in the future, Participants will only be permitted to
make such election prospectively with respect to amounts which are earned and
deferred subsequent thereto.   1.4   “Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount”

incentive payments, non-monetary awards, directors fees and other fees,
automobile and other allowances paid to a Participant for employment services
rendered (whether or not such allowances are included in the Employee’s gross
income). Base Annual Salary shall be calculated before reduction for
compensation voluntarily deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to
all qualified or non-qualified plans of any Employer and shall be calculated to
include amounts not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under
Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans established by
any Employer; provided,

under the IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. Senior Manager and Non-Employee Director
Deferred Compensation Plan shall not be considered to constitute Bonus for
purposes of this Plan.   1.12   “Cash Account Balance” shall mean, with respect
to a Participant, the sum of: (i) the Cash Deferral Account; and (ii) if
applicable, the vested portion of the Company Matching Account balance. This

the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary,
pursuant to this Plan.   1.13   “Cash Deferral Account” shall mean: (i) the sum
of all of a Participant’s Annual Cash Deferral Amounts; plus (ii) amounts
credited in accordance with all the applicable crediting provisions of this Plan
that relate to the Participant’s Cash Deferral Account; less (iii) all
distributions made to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary pursuant to this
Plan that relate to his or her Cash Deferral Account.   1.14   “CCI” shall mean

to the Participant’s Company Matching Account.   1.23   “Company Stock Deferral
Account” shall mean: (i) the sum of the Annual Company Stock Deferral Amounts;

designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan.   1.24   “Deduction Limitation”
shall mean the following described limitation on a benefit that may otherwise be
distributable pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. Except as otherwise
provided, this limitation shall be applied to all distributions that are
“subject to the Deduction Limitation” under this Plan. If an Employer determines
in good faith prior to a Change in Control that there is a reasonable likelihood
that any compensation paid to a Participant for a taxable year of the Employer
would not be deductible by the Employer solely by reason of the limitation under
Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the Employer to
ensure that the entire amount of any distribution to the Participant pursuant to
this Plan prior to the Change in Control is deductible, the Employer may defer
all or any portion of a distribution under this Plan. Any amounts deferred
pursuant to this limitation shall continue to be credited with additional
amounts in accordance with Section 3.9 below, even if such amount is being paid
out in installments. The amounts so deferred and amounts credited thereon shall
be distributed to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary (in the event of the
Participant’s death) at the earliest possible date, as determined by the
Employer in good faith, on which the deductibility of compensation paid or
payable to

- 4 -

    the Participant for the taxable year of the Employer during which the
distribution is made will not be limited by Section 162(m), or if earlier, the
effective date of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Plan, the Deduction Limitation shall not apply to any distributions made
after a Change in Control.   1.25   “Director” shall mean any member of the

Inc. 2002 Incentive Plan (or any successor plan).   1.28   “Director Stock
Deferral Account” or “Director Stock Account Balance” shall mean: (i) the sum of
the Annual Director Stock Deferral Amounts; plus (ii) amounts credited in
accordance with all the applicable crediting provisions of this Plan that relate
to the Director Stock Deferral Account; less (iii) all distributions made to the
Non-Employee Director or his or her beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that
relate to the Director Stock Deferral Account. This account, and each other
specified account, shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized
solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be
paid to a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this
Plan.   1.29   “Disability” shall mean (i) the Participant is unable to engage
in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable

first day of a Plan Year, the minimum deferral pursuant to Section 3.1(a) above
shall be an amount equal to $2,000, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of complete months remaining in the Plan Year and the
denominator of which is 12.     (c)   Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation.
Subject to Section 3.3 below, for each Plan Year, a Non-Employee Director may
elect to defer his or her Director Stock Compensation under the Plan. For
Director Stock Compensation deferred by a Non-Employee Director pursuant to
Section 3.3, the Non-Employee Director’s Director Stock Deferral Account shall
be credited with Stock Units equal to the number of shares of Stock as to which
the Director has elected deferred receipt. If no election is made, the amount
deferred shall be zero.

3.2   Maximum Deferral:

  (a)   For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer as his or her
Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, and/or Directors
Fees, and as his or her Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount, Director Stock
Compensation, up to the following maximum percentages for each deferral elected:

      Deferral   Maximum Amount Base Annual Salary   25% Incentive Pay   100%
Directors Fees   50% Director Stock Compensation   100%

  (b)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant first becomes a
Participant after the first day of a Plan Year, for that Plan Year only, a
Participant may elect to defer, as his or her Annual Cash Deferral Amount, with
respect to Base Annual Salary, Commissions, and/or Directors Fees that accrue
after the date of entry into the Plan, a dollar amount up to an amount equal to
the limits set forth above multiplied by such Participant’s total amount of Base
Annual Salary, Commissions, and/or Directors Fees for the entire Plan Year. With
respect to Bonus, a Participant may elect to defer only a portion of such
compensation, determined by multiplying the compensation for such period by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the period
during which the compensation is earned, and the denominator of which is the
total number of days in such period.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3.3   Election to Defer; Investment Election; Effect of Election Form:

  (a)   First Plan Year. In connection with a Participant’s commencement of
participation in the Plan, the Participant shall make an irrevocable deferral
election for the Plan Year in which the Participant commences participation in
the Plan, an Investment Election for such year, and such other elections as the
Committee deems necessary or desirable under the Plan. For these elections to be
valid, the Election Form must be completed by the Participant, timely submitted
(in accordance with Section 2.2 above) and accepted by the Committee. If no such
Election Form is timely submitted for the Participant’s first Plan Year, the
Participant’s Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount
and/or Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount shall be zero for that Plan Year.  
  (b)   Subsequent Plan Years. For each succeeding Plan Year, an irrevocable
deferral election for that Plan Year, an Investment Election for that Plan Year,
and such other elections as the Committee deems necessary or desirable under the
Plan, shall be made by timely delivering to the Committee, in accordance with
its rules and procedures, before the end of the Plan Year preceding the Plan
Year for which the election is made, a new Election Form. If no such Election
Form is timely submitted for a Plan Year, the Participant’s Annual Cash Deferral
Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or Annual Director Stock
Deferral Amount shall be zero for that Plan Year.     (c)   Investment Election.
A Participant’s Investment Election for a given Plan Year shall specify (in
increments of twenty-five percent (25%)), the amount of the Annual Cash Deferral
Amount to be allocated to the Participant’s Cash Deferral Account and/or Company
Stock Deferral Account. The Committee may permit Participants to submit new
Investment Elections with respect to a Plan Year during specified periods;
provided that any change in a Participant’s Investment Election shall be
prospective only and shall apply only with respect to the portion of the Annual
Cash Deferral Amount which the Participant earns subsequent to a date specified
by the Committee and following submission the new Investment Election.     (d)  
Special Investment Election for 2007. In connection with the amendment and
restatement of this Plan, Participants shall be given the opportunity to make an
Investment Election during 2007. Pursuant to such Investment Election, each
Participant shall be entitled to invest all or less than all of his or her Cash
Account Balance, and all remaining deferrals in Plan Year 2007, in the Company
Stock Deferral Account in accordance with Section 3.3(c). If no Investment
Election form is timely submitted for Plan Year 2007, the Participant’s existing
Cash Account Balance shall remain in his or her Cash Account, and no deferrals
for Plan Year 2007 shall be invested in the Company Stock Deferral Account.

- 10 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3.4   Withholding of Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year, the Base
Annual Salary portion of the Annual Cash Deferral Amount shall be withheld from
each regularly scheduled Base Annual Salary payroll in equal amounts, as
adjusted from time to time for increases and decreases in Base Annual Salary.
The Incentive Pay, Directors Fees, and/or Dividends portion of the Annual Cash
Deferral Amount shall be withheld at the time the Incentive Pay, Directors Fees,
and/or Dividends are or otherwise would be paid to the Participant, whether or
not this occurs during the Plan Year itself.

3.5   Annual Company Matching Amount. For each Plan Year, a Participant’s
Employer, in its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any amount
it desires to that Participant’s Company Matching Account, which amount shall be
for that Participant the Annual Company Matching Amount for that Plan Year. The
amount so credited to a Participant may be smaller or larger than the amount
credited to any other Participant, and the amount credited to a Participant for
a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more other Participants receive an
Annual Company Matching Amount for that Plan Year. The Annual Company Matching
Amount, if any, shall be credited as of the last day of the Plan Year. If a
Participant is not employed by that Employer as of the last day of a Plan Year
other than by reason of his or her Retirement or death while employed, the
Annual Company Matching Amount for that Plan Year shall be zero.

3.6   Company Stock Account. The Trustee shall, as soon as practicable following
withholding of the Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, or Directors Fees, as
applicable, apply the aggregate amount of cash that is allocated to the
Participants’ Company Stock Account toward the purchase of a block of shares of
Stock. The amount of shares so purchased with respect to any deferred amount
shall be allocated to a Participant (and credited to the Participant’s Company
Stock Account) in the proportion determined by comparing the amount of the Base
Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, and/or Directors Fees elected to allocate to his
or her Company Stock Account to the aggregate amount of deferred amounts which
all Participants elected to allocate to their Company Stock Accounts for such
date. For example, if a Participant elects to defer $1,000 of Base Annual Salary
into his or her Company Stock Account and all other Participants elect to defer
an aggregate of $9,000 into their Company Stock Accounts, the Trustee shall
purchase shares of Stock having an aggregate value of $10,000, and the
Participant’s Company Stock Account shall be allocated one-tenth (1/10) of such
shares. Dividends paid with respect to Stock credited to a Participant’s Company
Stock Account shall be converted to shares of Stock as soon as practicable
following the payment of the dividend. Other adjustments or changes to the Stock
in general, including changes as a result of mergers or other corporate
transactions, shall be applied to the Stock credited to a Participant’s Company
Stock Account. No interest will be credited with respect to any balance in a
Participant’s Company Stock Account.

3.7   Investment of Trust Assets. The trustees of the Trust shall be authorized,
upon written instructions received from the Committee or investment manager
appointed by the Committee, to invest and reinvest the assets of the Trust in
accordance with the

- 11 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    applicable Trust agreement, including the disposition of stock and
reinvestment of the proceeds in one or more investment vehicles designated by
the Committee.

3.8   Vesting

  (a)   Cash Deferral Account. A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested
in his or her Cash Deferral Account, except with respect to any Dividends held
in a Participant’s Cash Deferral Account, which shall vest in accordance with
Section 3.8(c).     (b)   Company Matching Account. Except as provided in
Section 3.8(d), a Participant shall be vested in each of his or her Annual

a Change in Control, a Participant’s Company Matching Account shall immediately
become 100% vested.

  (c)   Director Stock Deferral Account. Except as provided in Section 3.8(e), a
Participant shall be vested in each of his or her respective Annual Director

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.8(c),
in the event of his or her death, Retirement, termination on account of
Disability,

- 12 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      or a Change in Control, a Participant’s Director Stock Deferral Account
shall immediately become 100% vested.

  (d)   Company Stock Deferral Account. A Participant shall at all times be 100%
vested in his or her Company Stock Deferral Account.     (e)   Forfeiture.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 3.8(b) or 3.8(c)
above or any other Section of this Plan that may be construed to the contrary,
the Participant’s Employer, in its discretion, shall have the right to suspend
and/or cause the Participant to forfeit all rights to receive any or all
payments otherwise due hereunder in respect of such Participant’s Company
Matching Account or Director Stock Deferral Account, if such Participant, at any
time, whether or not employed by that Employer:

  (i)   works for or conducts or maintains any business, enterprise, or
organization that is in the same line of business or enterprise as any of the
Employers and competes directly or indirectly with any of the Employers, in
violation of the terms of any contractual provisions between the Company, or any
Employer, and the Participant;     (ii)   divulges confidential information of
any Employer to competitors of any Employer or any other party not authorized to
receive such information;     (iii)   is convicted of a misdemeanor which
results in a jail sentence of one year of more; or     (iv)   is convicted of a
felony.     The foregoing shall apply without regard to whether the
Participant’s work, business, release of information, or conviction, as the case
may be, has any demonstrable adverse effect on the Company or any Employer. Any
determination made by the Participant’s Employer with regard to suspension
and/or forfeitures under this Section 3.8(e) shall be final and conclusive.

3.9   Crediting of Account Balances. In accordance with, and subject to, the
rules and procedures that are established from time to time by the Committee, in
its sole discretion, amounts shall be credited to a Participant’s Cash Account
Balance, Company Stock Account Balance or Director Stock Account Balance, if
applicable, in accordance with the following rules:

  (a)   Prior to Distribution of Cash Account Balance. Prior to a distribution
of any portion of the Participant’s Cash Account Balance under Articles 4, 5, 6,
7, or 8 below, the Participant’s Cash Account Balance shall be credited with
interest on a daily basis. The interest rate used to credit the Participant’s
Cash Account Balance shall be the rate provided for in Section 3.9(e) below. If
a

- 13 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      distribution is made under this Plan, the Participant’s Cash Account
Balance shall be credited with interest until the date on which the distribution
is made.

  (b)   Prior to Distribution of Company Stock Account Balance. In the event
that a Participant elects to invest deferred Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay,
or Director Fees into the Company Stock Account, the Employer shall deliver such
deferred amounts to the Trustee as soon as practicable following their
withholding (typically, on a biweekly basis, or such other period that
corresponds to the Company’s normal payroll practices). Within three business
days following receipt of such deferred amounts, the Trustee shall apply the
aggregate amount of cash that is allocated to the Participants’ Company Stock
Account from such withholding toward the purchase of a block of shares of Stock.
Stock Units shall be credited to the Participant’s Company Stock Account in the
proportion determined by comparing the aggregate amount of the Base Annual
Salary, Incentive Pay, and Director Fees which he or she elected to allocate to
his or her Company Stock Account with respect to such withholding date to the
aggregate amount of deferred amounts which all Participants elected to allocate
to their Company Stock Accounts with respect to such withholding date. For
example, if a Participant elects to defer $1,000 of Base Annual Salary into his
or her Company Stock Account for a payroll period and all other Participants
elect to defer an aggregate of $9,000 into their Company Stock Accounts for the
same payroll period, within three business days following the trustee’s receipt
of the withheld amounts, the trustee shall purchase shares of Stock having an
aggregate value of $10,000, and the Participant’s Company Stock Account shall be
credited with a number of Stock Units equal to one-tenth (1/10) of such shares.
Prior to distribution of any portion of the Stock Account Balance under Articles
4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 below, in the event a stock dividend or similar event has
occurred since the date any Stock Units were credited to the Participant’s
Company Stock Deferral Account, a Participant’s Company Stock Deferral Account
will be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the IndyMac Bancorp, Inc.
2002 Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (or any successor plan) relating to
adjustments to reflect mergers, consolidations, and changes in capitalization of
Bancorp. The trustee of the Trust shall convert cash dividends paid with respect
to Stock held in relation to the Company Stock Account into shares of Stock via
purchase of a block of shares of Stock as soon as practicable following the
payment of the dividend, and each Participant’s Company Stock Account shall be
credited with Stock Units in the same manner as described above for regular
deferrals. No interest will be credited with respect to any balance in a
Participant’s Company Stock Account, whether before or after the allocation of
Stock Units.

  (c)   Prior to Distribution of Director Stock Account Balance. Prior to
distribution of any portion of the Stock Account Balance under Articles 4, 5, 6,
7 or 8 below, in the event a stock dividend or similar event has occurred since
the date any Stock Units were credited to the Participant’s Director Stock
Deferral Account, a Participant’s Director Stock Deferral Account will be

- 14 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the IndyMac Bancorp, Inc.
2002 Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (or any successor plan) relating to
adjustments to reflect mergers, consolidations, and changes in capitalization of
Bancorp.

  (d)   Installment Distribution. If a Participant’s Cash Account Balance is to
be paid under the Annual Installment Method, such payments shall be determined
by amortizing the Participant’s Cash Account Balance over the number of years
elected, using the interest rate specified in the following sentence. The
interest rate to be used to calculate installment payment amounts shall be a
fixed interest rate that is determined by averaging the interest rate provided
for in Section 3.9(e) below for the Plan Year in which installment payments
commence and the interest rate provided for in Section 3.9(e) below for the two
preceding Plan Years. This rate shall be treated as the nominal rate for making
such calculations. If a Participant has completed fewer than three Plan Years,
this average shall be determined using the interest rate provided for in
Section 3.9(e) below for the Plan Years during which the Participant
participated in the Plan. If a Participant’s Stock Account Balance is to be
distributed under the Annual Installment Method, such distributions shall
continue to be adjusted in accordance with Section 3.9(c) above.     (e)  
Interest Rate. The rate of interest for a Plan Year shall be determined and
announced by the Committee before such Plan Year.

3.10   FICA and Other Taxes. Each Plan Year, the Participant’s Employer shall
determine the amount of FICA and other employment taxes that the Employer must
withhold for such Participant. The Employer shall withhold this amount from that
portion of the Participant’s Base Annual Salary and/or Incentive Pay that is not
being deferred under the Plan. If necessary, the Committee shall reduce the
Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or Annual
Director Stock Deferral Amount in order to comply with this Section. In
addition, the Participant’s Employer and/or trustee of the Trust shall withhold
from any payments made to the Participant under this Plan all federal, state and
local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld in connection
with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole
discretion of that Employer.

ARTICLE 4
SHORT-TERM PAYOUT; UNFORESEEABLE FINANCIAL EMERGENCIES; WITHDRAWAL ELECTION

4.1   Short-Term Payout. In connection with each election to defer an Annual
Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount or Annual Director
Stock Deferral Amount, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive a future
“Short-Term Payout” from the Plan with respect to all of that Annual Cash
Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or Annual Director
Stock Deferral Amount. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Short-Term
Payout shall be equal to the sum of the Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual
Company Stock Deferral

- 15 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    Amount and the Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount elected to be paid as a
Short-Term Payout, plus amounts credited in the manner provided in Section 3.9
above on that amount. The Short-Term Payout amount shall be payable in a lump
sum. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Plan, the lump sum
payment shall be made, subject to the Deduction Limitation, within 60 days after
the first day of the Plan Year elected by the Participant; provided that no
election shall be effective unless the Plan Year elected is at least three Plan
Years after the last day of the Plan Year to which the Annual Cash Deferral
Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or Annual Director Stock
Deferral Amount relates. By way of example, if a Short-Term Payout is elected
for amounts that are deferred in the Plan Year commencing January 1, 2010, the
Short-Term Payout can become payable no earlier than the 60 day period
commencing on January 1, 2013.

4.2   Other Benefits Take Precedence Over Short-Term. Should an event occur that
triggers a benefit under Article 5, 6, 7 or 8, any Annual Cash Deferral Amount,
Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount or Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount,
plus amounts credited thereon, that is subject to a Short-Term Payout election
under Section 4.1 shall not be paid in accordance with Section 4.1 but shall be
paid in accordance with the other applicable Article.

4.3   Withdrawal Payout/Suspensions for Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies. If
the Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the
Participant may petition the Committee to (i) suspend any deferrals required to
be made by a Participant and/or (ii) receive a partial or full payout from the
Plan. The payout shall not exceed the lesser of the sum of the Participant’s
Cash Account Balance and Stock Account Balance, calculated as if such
Participant were receiving a Termination Benefit, or the amount reasonably
needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency. If, subject to the sole
discretion of the Committee, the petition for a suspension and/or payout is
approved, suspension shall take effect upon the date of approval and any payout
shall be made within 60 days of the date of approval. The payment of any amount
under this Section shall not be subject to the Deduction Limitation.

ARTICLE 5
RETIREMENT BENEFIT

5.1   Retirement Benefit. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, a Participant who
Retires shall receive, as a Retirement Benefit, his or her Cash Account Balance
and Stock Account Balance to the extent that such balances are vested.

5.2   Payment of Retirement Benefit. Prior to Plan Year 2008, a Participant, in
connection with his or her commencement of participation in the Plan, could
elect on an Election Form to receive the Retirement Benefit (i) in a lump sum,
or (ii) pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years.
Unless and until otherwise determined by the Committee, Participants shall not
be permitted to elect to receive distributions pursuant to an Annual Installment
Method with respect to amounts first earned and deferred in Plan Years
subsequent to 2007. The Committee may, in its

- 16 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    discretion, permit the use of the Annual Installment Method in the future by
adopting a new Election Form which includes such payment method as an election
alternative. In the event that the Committee permits the use of the Annual
Installment Method in the future, Participants will only be permitted to make
such election prospectively with respect to amounts which are earned and
deferred subsequent thereto. To the extent that the Committee later authorizes
elections for distribution in a form other than a lump sum, the Participant may
annually change his or her election to an allowable alternative payout period by
submitting a new Election Form to the Committee, provided that any such Election
Form is submitted at least one year prior to the Participant’s Retirement and is
accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion and provided further that any
such subsequent election must defer the commencement of distribution of the
Retirement Benefit for a period of at least five (5) years from the date that
such payment would have otherwise commenced. The Election Form most recently
accepted by the Committee shall govern the payout of the Retirement Benefit. If
a Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of the
Retirement Benefit, then such benefit shall be payable in a lump sum. The lump
sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, no later than
60 days after the date the Participant Retires, provided, however, that the
actual payment date, with respect to a lump sum payment, or the actual payment
commencement date, with respect to installment payments, within such 60-day
period shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any payment
made shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation. A Participant shall only
receive his or her Stock Account Balance in the form of shares of Stock. The
Participant shall receive the number of shares of Stock equal to the number of
vested Stock Units credited to his or her Stock Account Balance immediately
prior to such distribution (with any fractional share of Stock rounded to the
nearest whole share).

5.3   Death Prior to Completion of Retirement Benefit. If a Participant dies
after Retirement but before the Retirement Benefit is paid in full, the
Participant’s unpaid Retirement Benefit payments shall continue and shall be
paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary over the remaining number of months and in
the same amounts as that benefit would have been paid to the Participant had the
Participant survived.

5.4   Limitation on Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan to the contrary, the payment of benefits under this Article 5 with
respect to a Specified Employee of the Company shall not be made within six
months following his Termination of Employment, except in the event of death.

ARTICLE 6
PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVOR BENEFIT

6.1   Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the
Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive a Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit equal
to the sum of the Participant’s Cash Account Balance and Stock Account Balance
if the Participant dies before he or she Retires or experiences a Termination of
Employment.

- 17 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

6.2   Payment of Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit. Prior to Plan Year 2008, a
Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of participation in the
Plan, could elect on an Election Form whether the Pre-Retirement Survivor
Benefit shall be received by his or her Beneficiary (i) in a lump sum, or
(ii) pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years. Unless
and until otherwise determined by the Committee, Participants shall not be
permitted to elect to receive distributions pursuant to the Annual Installment
Method with respect to amounts first earned and deferred in Plan Years
subsequent to 2007. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit the use of the
Annual Installment Method in the future by adopting a new Election Form which
includes such payment method as an election alternative. In the event that the
Committee permits the use of the Annual Installment Method in the future,
Participants will only be permitted to make such election prospectively with
respect to amounts which are earned and deferred subsequent thereto. To the
extent that the Committee later authorizes elections for distribution in a form
other than a lump sum, the Participant may annually change this election to an
allowable alternative payout period by submitting a new Election Form to the
Committee, which form must be accepted by the Committee. The Election Form most
recently accepted by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death shall govern
the payout of the Participant’s Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit. If a
Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of the
Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit, then such benefit shall be paid in a lump sum.
The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, no
later than 60 days after the date of the Participant’s death, provided, however,
that the actual payment date, with respect to a lump sum payment, or the actual
payment commencement date, with respect to installment payments, within such
60-day period shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any
payment made shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation.

ARTICLE 7
TERMINATION BENEFIT

7.1   Termination Benefit. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Participant
shall receive a Termination Benefit, which shall be equal to the sum of the
Participant’s Cash Account Balance and Stock Account Balance.

connection with his or her commencement of participation in the Plan, could
elect on an Election Form to receive the Termination Benefit (i) in a lump sum,
or (ii) pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years.
Unless and until otherwise determined by the Committee, Participants shall not
be permitted to elect to receive distributions pursuant to the Annual
Installment Method with respect to amounts first earned and deferred in Plan
Years subsequent to 2007. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit the use
of the Annual Installment Method in the future by adopting a new Election Form
which includes such payment method as an election alternative. In the event that
the Committee permits the use of the Annual Installment Method in the future,
Participants will only be permitted to make such election prospectively with
respect to amounts which are earned and deferred subsequent thereto. To the
extent

- 18 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    that the Committee later authorizes elections for distribution in a form
other than a lump sum, the Participant may annually change his or her election
to an allowable alternative payout period by submitting a new Election Form to
the Committee, provided that any such Election Form is submitted at least one
year prior to the Participant’s Termination and is accepted by the Committee in
its sole discretion and provided further that any such subsequent election must
defer the commencement of distribution of the Termination Benefit for a period
of at least five (5) years from the date such payment would have otherwise
commenced. The Election Form most recently accepted by the Committee shall
govern the payout of the Termination Benefit. If a Participant does not make any
election with respect to the payment of the Termination Benefit, then such
benefit shall be payable in a lump sum. The lump sum payment shall be made, or
installment payments shall commence, no later than 60 days after the date of the
Participant’s Termination of Employment, provided, however, that the actual
payment date, with respect to a lump sum payment, or the actual payment
commencement date, with respect to installment payments, within such 60-day
period shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any payment
made shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation. A Participant shall only
receive his or her Stock Account Balance in the form of shares of Stock. The
Participant shall receive the number of shares of Stock equal to the number of
vested Stock Units credited to his or her Stock Account Balance immediately
prior to such distribution (with any fractional share of Stock rounded to the
nearest whole share).

7.3   Limitation on Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan to the contrary, the payment of benefits under this Article 7 with
respect to a Specified Employee of the Company shall not be made within six
months following his Termination of Employment, except in the event of death.

ARTICLE 8
DISABILITY WAIVER AND BENEFIT

8.1   Disability Waiver:

  (a)   Waiver of Deferral. A Participant who is determined by the Committee to
be suffering from a Disability shall be excused from fulfilling that portion of
the Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or
Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount commitment that would otherwise have been
withheld from a Participant’s Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, Directors Fees
and Director Stock Compensation for the Plan Year during which the Participant
first suffers a Disability. During the period of Disability, the Participant
shall not be allowed to make any additional deferral elections, but will
continue to be considered a Participant for all other purposes of this Plan.

  (b)   Return to Work. If a Participant returns to employment or service as an
Employee or Director, with any Employer after a Disability ceases, the
Participant may elect to defer an Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company
Stock Deferral Amount and an Annual Director Stock Deferral

- 19 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      Amount for the Plan Year following his or her return to employment or
service and for every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan;
provided such deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form is
submitted and accepted by the Committee for each such election in accordance
with Section 3.3 above.

8.2   Continued Eligibility; Disability Benefit. A Participant suffering a
Disability shall, for benefit purposes under this Plan, continue to be
considered to be employed or in the service of an Employer as a Director, and
shall be eligible for the benefits provided for in Articles 4, 5, 6 or 7 in
accordance with the provisions of those Articles.

ARTICLE 9
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

9.1   Beneficiary. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to
designate his or her Beneficiary(ies) (both primary as well as contingent) to
receive any benefits payable under the Plan to a beneficiary upon the death of a
Participant. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as or
different from the Beneficiary designation under any other plan of the
Participant’s Employer in which the Participant participates.

9.2   Beneficiary Designation; Change; Spousal Consent. A Participant shall
designate his or her Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary
Designation Form, and returning it to the Committee or its designated agent. A
Participant shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing
and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and
the Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. If the
Participant names someone other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, a
spousal consent, in the form designated by the Committee, must be signed by that
Participant’s spouse and returned to the Committee. Upon the acceptance by the
Committee of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations
previously filed shall be canceled. The Committee shall be entitled to rely on
the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by
the Committee prior to his or her death.

9.3   Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary
shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the
Committee or its designated agent.

9.4   No Beneficiary Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a
Beneficiary as provided in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 above or, if all designated
Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution
of the Participant’s benefits, then the Participant’s designated Beneficiary
shall be deemed to be his or her surviving spouse. If the Participant has no
surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan to be paid to a
Beneficiary shall be payable to the executor or personal representative of the
Participant’s estate.

- 20 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

9.5   Doubt as to Beneficiary. If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper
Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall have
the right, exercisable in its discretion, to cause the Participant’s Employer to
withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the Committee’s
satisfaction.

9.6   Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a
Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge all Employers and the Committee
from all further obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant.

ARTICLE 10
LEAVE OF ABSENCE

10.1   Paid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the
Participant’s Employer for any reason to take a paid leave of absence from the
employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered
employed by that Employer and the Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company
Stock Deferral Amount and Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount shall continue
to be withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with Section 3.3.

10.2   Unpaid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the
Participant’s Employer for any reason to take an unpaid leave of absence from
the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered
employed by that Employer and the Participant shall be excused from making
deferrals until the earlier of the date the leave of absence expires or the
Participant returns to a paid employment status. Upon such expiration or return,
deferrals shall resume for the remaining portion of the Plan Year in which the
expiration or return occurs, based on the deferral election, if any, made for
that Plan Year. If no election was made for that Plan Year, no deferral shall be
withheld.

10.3   Leave of Absence. Notwithstanding the above, a Participant shall be
deemed to have incurred a Termination of Employment with the Employer for
purposes of this Plan unless such Participant’s “bona fide leave of absence”
does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Participant retains a
right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable statute or by
contract. A leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if
there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform
services for the Employer. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the
Participant does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute
or by contract, the Participant shall be deemed to have incurred a Termination
of Employment on the first date immediately following such six-month period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a leave of absence is due to any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in
death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six
months, where such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the
duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar
position of employment, a 29-month period of absence may be substituted for such
six-month period.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 11
TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION

11.1   Termination. Each Employer reserves the right to discontinue its
sponsorship of the Plan and/or to terminate the Plan at any time with respect to
any or all of its participating Employees and Directors by action of its board
of directors. Upon the termination of the Plan with respect to any Employer,
participation of the affected Participants who are employed by that Employer or
in the service of that Employer as a Director shall terminate and their Cash
Account Balances and Stock Account Balances, determined as if they had
experienced a Termination of Employment on the date of Plan termination or, if
Plan termination occurs after the date upon which a Participant was eligible to
Retire, then with respect to that Participant as if he or she had Retired on the
date of Plan termination, shall be paid to the Participants as follows:
(a) prior to a Change in Control: (i) if the Plan is terminated with respect to
all of its Participants, the Employer shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, and notwithstanding any elections made by the Participant, to pay
such benefits in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of up to
15 years, with amounts credited during the installment period as provided
herein; (ii) if the Plan is terminated with respect to less than all of its
Participants, the Employer shall be required to pay such benefits in a lump sum;
(b) after a Change in Control, the Employer shall be required to pay such
benefits in a lump sum. The termination of the Plan must comply with the
requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) and shall not adversely
affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of
any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination; provided, however,
that the Employer shall have the right to accelerate installment payments
without a premium or prepayment penalty by paying the Cash Account Balance and
Stock Account Balance in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method
using fewer years (provided that the present value of all payments that will
have been received by a Participant at any given point of time under the
different payment schedule shall equal or exceed the present value of all
payments that would have been received at that point in time under the original
payment schedule). The applicable interest rate to be used as the discount rate
for determining such present value shall be a reasonable discount rate selected
by the Committee from time to time.

11.2   Amendment. The Committee may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in
whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment or modification shall be
effective to decrease or restrict the value of a Participant’s Cash Account
Balance and Stock Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment or
modification is made, calculated as if the Participant had experienced a
Termination of Employment as of the effective date of the amendment or
modification or, if the amendment or modification occurs after the date upon
which the Participant was eligible to Retire, the Participant had Retired as of
the effective date of the amendment or modification. The amendment or
modification of the Plan shall not affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has
become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the
amendment or modification.

- 22 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

11.3   Effect of Payment. The full payment of the applicable benefit under
Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations
to a Participant and his or her designated Beneficiaries under this Plan, and
the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall terminate.

ARTICLE 12
ADMINISTRATION

12.1   Committee Duties. This Plan shall be administered by the Company’s
Employee Benefits Fiduciary Committee (the “Committee”). Members of the
Committee may be Participants under this Plan. The Committee shall also have the
discretion and authority to (i) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all
appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and
(ii) decide or resolve any and all questions including interpretations of this
Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan. Any individual serving on the
Committee who is a Participant shall not vote or act on any matter relating
solely to himself or herself. When making a determination or calculation, the
Committee shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant or
the Company.

12.2   Agents. In the administration of this Plan, the Committee may, from time
to time, employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it
sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from
time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to any Employer.

12.3   Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Committee with
respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations
promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons
having any interest in the Plan.

12.4   Indemnity of Committee. All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless
the members of the Committee, and any Employee to whom the duties of the
Committee may be delegated, against any and all claims, losses, damages,
expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect
to this Plan, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Committee or any
of its members or any such Employee.

12.5   Employer Information. To enable the Committee to perform its functions,
each Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Committee on all
matters relating to the compensation of its Participants, the date and
circumstances of the Retirement, Disability, death or Termination of Employment
of its Participants, and such other pertinent information as the Committee may
reasonably require.

ARTICLE 13
OTHER BENEFITS AND AGREEMENTS

13.1   Coordination with Other Benefits. The benefits provided for a Participant
and Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other
benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for
employees of the Participant’s

- 23 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    Employer. The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend
any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided.

ARTICLE 14

14.1   Presentation of Claim. Any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased
Participant (such Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a
“Claimant”) may deliver to the Committee a written claim for a determination

within a reasonable time, and shall notify the Claimant in writing:

  (a)   that the Claimant’s requested determination has been made, and that the
claim has been allowed in full; or

  (b)   that the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in
part, to the Claimant’s requested determination, and such notice must set forth
in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

  (i)   the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part of it;  
  (ii)   specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which
such denial was based;     (iii)   a description of any additional material or
information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation

of the claim review procedure set forth in Section 14.3 below.

14.3   Review of a Denied Claim. Within 60 days after receiving a notice from
the Committee that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or
the Claimant’s duly authorized representative) may file with the Committee a

14.4   Decision on Review. The Committee shall render its decision on review
promptly, and not later than 60 days after the filing of a written request for
review of the denial, unless a hearing is held or other special circumstances
require additional time, in which case the Committee’s decision must be rendered
within 120 days after such date. Such decision must be written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must contain:

  (a)   specific reasons for the decision;     (b)   specific reference(s) to
the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision was based; and     (c)  
such other matters as the Committee deems relevant.

14.5   Legal Action. A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of
this Article 14 is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant’s right to commence
any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under this Plan.

ARTICLE 15
TRUST

15.1   Establishment of the Trust. The Company established the Trust, and each
Employer may transfer over to the Trust such assets as the Employer determines,
in its sole discretion.

15.2   Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust. The provisions of the Plan
shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to
the Plan. The provisions of the Trust shall govern the rights of the Employers,
Participants and the creditors of the Employers to the assets transferred to the
Trust. Each Employer shall at all times remain liable to carry out its
obligations under the Plan.

15.3   Distributions From the Trust. Each Employer’s obligations under the Plan
may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the
Trust, and any such distribution shall reduce the Employer’s obligations under
this Plan.

ARTICLE 16
MISCELLANEOUS

16.1   Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified
within the meaning of Code Section 401(a) and that “is unfunded and is
maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees”
within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 40l(a)(1). The Plan
shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner
consistent with that intent.

- 25 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

16.2   Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs,
successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or
claims in any property or assets of any Employer. For purposes of the payment of
benefits under this Plan, any and all of an Employer’s assets shall be, and
remain, the general, unpledged assets of that Employer. An Employer’s obligation
under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay
money or shares of Stock in the future.

16.3   Employer’s Liability. If an Employer’s employee or director becomes a
Participant, then only that Employer shall be liable for the benefits that the
Participant earns during the time that the Participant is an Employee or
Director of that Employer. The other Employers shall not be liable for any of
the benefits that the Participant earns during this period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall be liable for the benefits that the participants of
the INMC Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan earned under such
plan prior to January 1, 2001, and the Company shall be liable for IndyMac
Resources, Inc.’s obligations under the Plan in the event IndyMac Resources,
Inc. fails to perform them.

16.4   Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have
any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or
otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of
actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof.
Such amounts are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be,
unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior
to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or
sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate
maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by
operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s
bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a
property settlement or otherwise.

16.5   Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall
not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and a
Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will”
employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no
reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless expressly
provided in a written employment agreement between a Participant and his or her
Employer. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right
to be retained in the service of any Employer as an Employee or a Director, or
to interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the
Participant at any time.

16.6   Furnishing Information. A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will
cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by
the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to
facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits
hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the
Committee may deem necessary.

16.7   Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be
construed as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so
apply;

- 26 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural,
they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular,
as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.

16.8   Captions. The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this
Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or
construction of any of its provisions.

16.9   Governing Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be
construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of
California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

16.10   Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the
Committee under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered,
or sent by registered or certified mail, to the address below:

Employee Benefits Fiduciary Committee
IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. Deferred Compensation Plan
888 E. Walnut Street
Pasadena, CA 91101

    Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery
is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for
registration or certification. Alternatively, the Committee may approve
alternative methods of delivery, including electronic or online methods, from
time to time. Participants will receive written notification of any such
alternative delivery methods.       Any notice or filing required or permitted
to be given to a Participant under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing
and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to the last known address of the
Participant.   16.11   Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and
inure to the benefit of the Participant’s Employer and its successors and
assigns and the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.  
16.12   Spouse’s Interest. The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse of
a Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to
the Participant and shall not be transferable by such spouse in any manner,
including but not limited to such spouse’s will, nor shall such interest pass
under the laws of intestate succession.   16.13   Validity. In case any
provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had
never been inserted herein.   16.14   Incompetent. If the Committee determines
in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a
person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition
of that person’s property, the Committee may direct

- 27 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person
having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent, or incapable person. The
Committee may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or
guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.
Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant
and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete
discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.

16.15   Domestic Relations Order. The Committee is authorized to accelerate the
time or schedule of any payment, or to make a payment under the Plan to an
individual other than a Participant, to the extent necessary to fulfill a
“domestic relations order,” as such term is defined in Code
Section 414(p)(1)(B). In no event shall any Participant have a direct or
indirect election as to whether the Committee’s discretion will be exercised in
such an event. The Plan may charge the Participant’s account for actual legal
expenses and costs if the Plan consults with legal counsel regarding the status
of the order.

16.16   Distribution in the Event of Taxation:

  (a)   Income Inclusion under Section 409A. If, for any reason, the Plan fails
to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated
thereunder and a Participant is required to include an amount in income as a
result of such failure, the Committee is authorized to accelerate the time or
schedule of a payment, or to make a payment under the Plan; provided that such
payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result
of such failure. In no event shall any Participant have a direct or indirect
election as to whether the Committee’s discretion will be exercised in such an
event.     (b)   Payment of Employment Taxes. The Committee is authorized to
accelerate the time or schedule of any payment, or to make a payment under the
Plan to pay (i) the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposes under
Code Sections 3101, 3121(a), and 3121(v)(2), where applicable, on compensation
deferred under the Plan, (ii) the income tax at source on wages imposed under
Code Section 3401 or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable
state, local, or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA amount,
and (iii) the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the
pyramiding Code Section 3401 wages and taxes; provided that such payment may not
exceed the aggregate of the FICA amount and the income tax withholding related
to such FICA amount. In no event shall any Participant have a direct or indirect
election as to whether the Committee’s discretion will be exercised in such an
event.

16.17   Insurance. The Employers, on their own behalf or on behalf of the
trustees of the Trust, and, in their sole discretion, may apply for and procure
insurance on the life of the Participant, in such amounts and in such forms as
the Trust may choose. The Employers or the trustees of the Trust, as the case
may be, shall be the sole owner and

- 28 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    beneficiary of any such insurance. The Participant shall have no interest
whatsoever in any such policy or policies, and at the request of the Employers
shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute
such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom
the Employers have applied for insurance.

16.18   Legal Fees To Enforce Rights After Change in Control. It is the intent
of the Company that a Participant not be required to incur legal fees and
related expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of
the Participant’s rights in connection with any dispute arising under this Plan
following a Change in Control. Accordingly, if, following a Change in Control,
it should appear to any Participant that the Company, the Participant’s Employer
or any successor corporation has failed to comply with any of its obligations
under the Plan or any agreement thereunder or, if the Company, such Employer or
any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare the Plan void
or unenforceable or institutes any proceeding or other legal action designed to
deny, diminish or to recover from any Participant the benefits provided or
intended to be provided to the Participant hereunder, then the Company and the
Participant’s Employer irrevocably authorize such Participant to retain counsel
of his or her choice to advise and represent such Participant in connection with
any such dispute or proceeding, whether by or against the Company, the
Participant’s Employer or any director, officer, shareholder or other person
affiliated with the Company, the Participant’s Employer or any successor thereto
in any jurisdiction, and the Company or the Participant’s Employer (which shall
be jointly and severally liable) shall reimburse the Participant for all legal
fees and expenses actually incurred by the Participant in connection with any
such dispute or proceeding. All such payments shall be made within 10 business
days after delivery of the Participant’s respective written requests for payment
accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company or
the Participant’s Employer may reasonably require, but in no event shall any
such payment be made later than the last day of the Participant’s tax year
following the Participant’s tax year in which the fee or expense was incurred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s and the Participant’s Employer’s
reimbursement obligations pursuant to this Section 16.18 shall be limited to
expenses incurred during the Participant’s lifetime, and the amount of expenses
eligible for reimbursement during a given taxable year of the Participant shall
not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.
The Participant’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 16.18 shall
not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
