      STPP. In order to be eligible for participation in this Plan, a
      Senior Manager must be eligible for, and an Active Participant in, the
      STPP.





B.
            Committee
      Designation. In addition to eligibility and participation in the

      participation in this Plan is terminated, the Participant (or
      Participant’s Beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive the Participant’s
      Account at the time and in the manner determined under Article

      Election. In addition to the criteria set forth above,
      participation in this Plan shall only be possible if the Senior Manager
      has timely executed and filed with the Committee the appropriate deferral
      election forms. Deferral election forms shall be considered timely filed
      only if they are properly completed, executed, and filed with the
      Committee in accordance with Committee rules and the provisions of Section

performance year; provided, however, that the amount of a single deferral may
not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00). First Vice-Presidents may

past the applicable Distribution Date.








ARTICLE
IV -- DEFERRED ACCOUNTS





Section 4.01. Deferred
Account. The Deferred Amount described in Section 3.03 above shall be
credited to the Participant’s Deferred Account.





A.
            To
      the extent the Company is required to withhold any taxes or other amounts
      from the Deferred Amount pursuant to any federal, state, or local law,
      such amounts shall be taken out of the portion of the Participant’s Award
      or other Compensation not deferred under this
      Plan.


4




B.
            The
      Company shall match each Deferred Amount by an amount equal to 50% of such
      Deferred Amount for The Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President,
      Executive Vice-Presidents or Senior Vice-Presidents and 35% of such
      Deferred Amount for First-Vice-Presidents; provided, however, that such
      match shall be subject to forfeiture and shall be forfeited if the
      Participant terminates service with the Company at any time for any
      reason, including death, Disability, Retirement, or an Approved Reason,
      during the applicable Mandatory Deferral
Period.





Section 4.02. Vesting. Each
Participant shall be fully vested in the Participant’s Deferred Amount. However,
Participants shall only become vested in the Company matching amount (credited
to the Deferred Amount at the commencement of the Mandatory Deferral Period) if
the Participant remains continuously employed with the Company during the
Mandatory Deferral Period and is so employed on the applicable Distribution
Date.





Section 4.03. Increases to the
Account. The Participant’s Deferred Account shall be increased by an
earnings factor. The earnings factor shall equal the amount that the
Participant’s Deferred Account would have increased if, immediately following
addition to the Account of the deemed Company match, the Account had been
invested in the common stock of Capitol Federal Financial (“CFFN”) and that
position had been held through the last December 31st of the Mandatory Deferral
Period.





A.
            In
      order to establish an initial value for the Account at the commencement of
      the Mandatory Deferral Period, the Committee shall utilize the closing
      price of CFFN as of the December 31st immediately preceding the applicable
      Award Payment Date and shall deem the entire Account (including the
      forfeitable Company match) to be 100% invested in CFFN at such price. If,
      as of the December 31st immediately preceding the end of the Mandatory
      Deferral Period, the closing market price for CFFN is greater than the
      initial Value, the difference in value shall be converted to cash, added
      to the Account and paid on the Distribution Date along with the Deferred
      Amount, the Company match, and the Dividend
  Equivalents.





B.
            The
      Committee shall credit the Account with an amount appropriate to reflect
      dividends actually paid on Capitol Federal Financial common stock during
      the Mandatory Deferral Period (Dividend Equivalents). Dividend Equivalents
      shall be credited to the Account as of the time dividends are actually
      paid on CFFN and shall be treated as additional units of CFFN; provided,
      however, that, notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary,
      Dividend Equivalents shall be valued and paid based only upon the CFFN
      closing price as of the December 31st immediately preceding the end of the
      Mandatory Deferral Period.





C.
            Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to acquire
      any interest in any fund or investment option and any asset that may be
      acquired in order to provide a means for payment of any liability shall
      remain the property of the Company.





Section 4.04. Statement of
Account. The Committee shall submit to each Participant, within 90 days
after the close of each Plan Year, a statement setting forth the balance to the
credit of each Participant of his or her Deferred Account.

Amount in accordance with Article IV hereof) will be paid to the Participant in
a single lump sum payment on the applicable Distribution Date.

that no change of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received by the
Committee. All Beneficiary designations, and any amendments and revocations
thereto, shall be made upon such form or forms and in such manner as the
Committee may from time to time direct. In the event a Participant dies without
having a Beneficiary designation in force, or in the event no named Beneficiary
is alive or is in being at the time, all payments due hereunder shall be paid
the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any. If the Participant leaves no
surviving spouse then such payment shall be made to the Participant’s
estate.

Liquidation, Reorganization, or Change of Control.





A.
            Complete
      Liquidation. If the stockholders of the Company adopt a plan of complete
      liquidation (other than a plan which is part of a plan of reorganization
      described in Subsection B. hereof), the Plan shall be deemed to have been
      terminated as of the date the plan of liquidation is adopted. The rights
      of affected Participants upon such a liquidation shall be determined under
      the provisions of Sections 10.01 and 10.02 relative to a complete
      termination.





B.
            Reorganization.
      If the Company effectuates a merger, consolidation, or other transaction
      constituting a reorganization with another corporation or corporations,
      pursuant to which the shares of common stock of Company will be
      surrendered in exchange for the stock of another corporation (the
      “Surviving Corporation”) then this Plan shall be deemed to have been
      terminated as of the date the plan of reorganization is adopted. No
      termination shall occur, however, if express provisions are made for the
      continuance of this Plan in accordance with the terms hereof except the
      word “Company” shall mean and refer to the Surviving Corporation from and
      after the effective date of such
reorganization.





Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Plan shall not be terminated pursuant to this Section 10.03
unless the termination would be permitted under Section 409A.





Section 10.04. Change in Control.Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan to the contrary, the
provisions of this Section 10.04 shall control over any contrary provision. All
Participants shall be eligible for the treatment afforded by this Section if
they incur a Separation from Service within two years following a Change In
Control, unless the Separation from Service is due to (a) Death; (b) Disability;
(c) Cause; (d) resignation other than (1) resignation from a declined
reassignment to a job that is not reasonably equivalent in responsibility or
compensation, or that is not in the same geographic area, or (2) resignation
within thirty days of a reduction in base pay; or (e) retirement.





A.
            If
      a Participant qualifies for treatment under this Section, he or she shall
      immediately become fully vested in his or her Deferred Account. Such
      Account shall be paid, as soon as practicable but in no event later than
      90 days after the date the Participant incurs a Separation from
      Service.





B.
            Upon
      a Change In Control, no action, including, but not by way of limitation,
      the amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan, shall be taken
      which would affect the rights of any Participant or the operation of the
      Plan with respect to any Account to which the Participant may have become
      entitled hereunder prior to the date of the Change In Control or to which
      he or she may become entitled as a result of such Change In
      Control.








ARTICLE
XI -- RESTRICTIONS ON ALIENATION OF BENEFITS





Section 11.01. Restrictions on
Alienation.Until the actual receipt of any benefit under this Plan by a
Participant or Beneficiary, no right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject
in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, transfer, pledge,
encumbrance, garnishment, execution, levy, or charge of any kind, whether
voluntary or involuntary, including assignment or transfer to satisfy any
liability for alimony or other payments for property settlement or support of a
spouse or former spouse or other relative of a Participant or Beneficiary,
whether upon divorce, legal separation, or otherwise. Any attempt to anticipate,
alienate, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, garnish, execute upon, levy
upon,


9


or charge
any right or benefit under the Plan shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder
shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements, or torts of the person entitled to such benefit, and
no right or benefit hereunder shall be considered an asset of such person in the
event of his or her divorce, insolvency, or bankruptcy. To the extent permitted
by law, the rights of a Participant or Beneficiary hereunder shall not be
subject in any manner to attachment or other legal process for the debts of such
Participant or Beneficiary.








ARTICLE
XII -- CLAIMS PROCEDURE





Section 12.01. Claims.Benefit
claim determinations arising under this Plan shall be made in accordance with
the provisions of this Article and procedures established by the Committee.
These claim procedures are designed to establish reasonable processes and
safeguards to ensure that benefit claim determinations are made in accordance
with the provisions thereof and, where appropriate, Plan provisions have been
applied consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants. All claims
for or relating to benefits whether made by a Participant or other person shall
be in writing addressed and delivered to the Committee, at the Committee’s main
office, and such claim shall contain the claimant’s name, mailing address, and
telephone number, if any, and shall identify the claim in a manner reasonably
calculated to make the claim understandable to the Committee.





Section 12.02. Claims Review.If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Committee shall within a
reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90 days (45 days in the case of a claim
involving disability benefits), notify the claimant in writing of any adverse
benefit determination, unless the Committee determines that special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If the
Committee determines that an extension of time for processing the claim is
necessary, written notice of the same shall be provided to the claimant prior to
the expiration of the 90-day period (45-day period in the case of a claim
involving disability benefits), and shall indicate the special circumstances
which require the extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects
to render the determination. The extension of time shall not exceed a 90-day
period of time (30-day period in the case of a claim involving disability
benefits), beginning at the end of the initial 90-day period (45-day period in
the case of a claim involving disability benefits). In case of a disability
claim, the Committee may determine that, due to matters beyond the control of
the Plan, a second 30-day extension is necessary. In such case, the Committee
shall notify the claimant before the expiration of the first 30-day extension
period of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the
Plan expects to render a decision. In the case of a disability notice of
extension, the notice must explain the standards on which entitlement to a
benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision, the additional
information needed to resolve the issue, and that the claimant has at least 45
days to provide the specified information. The Committee’s notice shall be
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall set
forth:





A.
            The
      specific reason or reasons for the
denial;





B.
            Specific
      reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is
      based;





C.
            A
      description of any additional material or information necessary for the
      claimant to perfect the claim, together with an explanation of why such
      material or information is necessary;
and





D.
            An
      explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in Sections 12.03 and
      12.04 below (including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a
      civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit
      determination).


10





Section 12.03. Appeal of Claim
Denial.A claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative shall
have 60 days within which to appeal an adverse benefit determination to the
Committee. During the pendency of the review, the following provisions shall
apply:





A.
            The
      claimant shall have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents,
      records and other information relating to the claim to the Committee;
      and





B.
            The
      claimant shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable
      access to and copies of, all documents, records and other relevant
      information relating to the claim for
benefits.





Section 12.04. Review on Appeal.A decision on review shall be rendered within a reasonable period of
time, not to exceed 60-days after the claimant’s request for review, unless the
Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing the appeal. If the Committee determines that an extension of time for
processing the appeal is necessary, written notice of the extension shall be
furnished to the claimant prior to the expiration of the 60 day period, and
shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by
which the Committee expects to render the determination. The extension of time
shall not exceed a 60-day period of time beginning at the end of the initial
60-day period. For purposes of this Section 12.04, in the case of a claim
involving disability benefits, 45 days shall apply instead of 60 days. The
Committee’s decision on review shall be communicated in writing to the claimant
and, if adverse, shall take into account all comments, documents, records and
other information submitted by the claimant (without regard to whether such
information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination).
The decision on review shall be in a written manner calculated to be understood
by the claimant and shall set forth the following:





A.
            The
      specific reason or reasons for the adverse
  determination;





B.
            Specific
      reference to pertinent plan provisions on which the benefit determination
      is based;


C.
            A
      statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free
      of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records,
      and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits;
      and





D.
            A
      statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA Section
      502(a).





Section 12.05. Litigation of Claim.Prior to initiating legal action concerning a claim in any court, state
or federal, against this Plan, any trust used in conjunction with this Plan, the
Company, or the Committee, a claimant must first exhaust the administrative
remedies provided in this Article XII. Failure to exhaust the administrative
remedies provided for in this Article XII shall be a bar to any civil action
concerning a claim for benefits under the Plan.

physical disability, the Company is authorized to cause the payments becoming
due to such person to be made to another for his benefit without responsibility
of the Company, Committee or the Board of Directors to see to the application of
such payments. Payments made pursuant to this authority shall constitute a
complete discharge of any duty hereunder of the Company, Committee, and the
Board of Directors.

construed as giving any Employee or other person any legal or equitable right
