     1.1 Establishment. Irwin Financial Corporation, an Indiana corporation, hereby establishes the
Irwin Financial Corporation Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) for employees and
non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan permits the grant of stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and phantom stock units, with common stock or

     1.2 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its
stockholders, by encouraging and providing for the acquisition of an equity interest in the success
of the Company by employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-employee directors, by
providing additional incentives and motivation toward superior performance of the Company, and by
enabling the Company to attract and retain the services of employees and non-employee directors
upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of its operations is

from among the Employees. Non-Employee Directors shall also be eligible to participate in the
Plan. For purposes of Awards to individuals who are neither Named Executive Officers nor directors
of the Company, the Committee may delegate its authority to select Participants in the Plan, to
select the type of Awards to be received by such Participants, and to allocate Committee-approved
block Awards, to such individuals or bodies as the Committee designates in writing. If such
delegation occurs, “Committee” as used herein shall mean such individual or body.



Section 4. Administration




     4.1 Administration. The Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the Plan.
The Committee, by majority action thereof (whether taken during a meeting or by written consent),
is authorized to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, to provide for conditions and assurances deemed necessary or advisable to
protect the interests of the Company, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan, but only to the extent not contrary to the express provisions
of the Plan; provided, however, the Committee shall not reprice or otherwise decrease the exercise
price applicable to any outstanding Option, except in connection with an adjustment contemplated by
Section 5.4. The Committee’s authorization to administer the Plan shall extend to developing
and implementing rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of
qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws and accommodating the specific
requirements of local laws and procedures, including but not limited to the adoption of rules and
procedures regarding the conversion of local currency, withholding procedures and handling of stock
certificates which vary with local requirements. Determinations, interpretations, or other
actions made or taken by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and
binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons whomsoever.



 









 




To the extent deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of Rule 16b-3 or otherwise, the Board
may act as the Committee hereunder.




Section 5. Stock Subject to Plan and Maximum Awards




     5.1 Aggregate Number. The total number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards
under the Plan may not exceed 4,000,000 (of this total number, all such shares may be issued with
respect to Incentive Stock Options). Such numbers of shares shall be subject to adjustment upon
occurrence of any of the events described in Section 5.4. The shares to be delivered under the
Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued Stock or treasury Stock, not
reserved for any other purpose. In addition, up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 SARs may be granted
under the Plan.



     5.2 Individual Participant Limitations. Unless and until the Committee determines that an Award
to a Named Executive Officer shall not be designed to comply with the Performance-Based Exception,
the following rules shall apply to grants of such Awards under the Plan:




	 	(a)	 	Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.4, the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Stock (including Options, Restricted Stock SARs, and
Phantom Stock Units to be paid out in shares) that may be granted under this
Plan in any calendar year pursuant to any Award held by any Participant
shall be 300,000 shares. Such numbers of shares shall be subject to
adjustment upon occurrence of any of the events described in Section 5.4.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The maximum aggregate cash payout (including SARs and Phantom Stock Units
paid out in cash) with respect to Awards granted under this Plan in any
calendar year which may be made to any Participant shall be one million
dollars ($1,000,000.00).





     5.3 Reuse. If, and to the extent:




	 	(a)	 	An Option shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been
exercised in full (including, without limitation, cancellation and
re-grant), or in the event that an Option is exercised or settled in a
manner such that some or all of the shares of Stock related to the Option
are not issued to the Participant (or beneficiary) including as the result
of the use of shares for withholding taxes, the shares of Stock subject
thereto which have not become outstanding shall (unless the Plan shall have
terminated) become available for issuance under the Plan; provided, however,
that with respect to a share-for-share exercise, only the net shares issued
shall be deemed to have become outstanding as a result thereof.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Restricted Stock or Phantom Stock Units under the Plan are forfeited for any
reason, or settled in cash in lieu of Stock or in a manner such that some or
all of the shares of Stock related to the Award are not issued to




 









 












the Participant (or beneficiary), such shares of Stock shall (unless the
Plan shall have terminated) become available for issuance under the Plan.




	 	(c)	 	SARs expire or terminate for any reason without having been earned in full,
an equal number of SARs shall (unless the Plan shall have terminated) become
available for issuance under the Plan.





     5.4 Adjustment in Capitalization. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock
that occurs after ratification of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company by reason of a Stock
dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, separation (including a
spin-off), exchange of shares, or other similar corporate change or distribution of stock or
property by the Company, the number and class of and/or price of shares of Stock subject to each
outstanding Award, the number of shares of Stock available for Awards and the number and class of
shares of Stock set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, shall be adjusted appropriately by the
Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive; provided, however, that fractional shares shall
be rounded to the nearest whole share. In such event, the Committee also shall have discretion to
make appropriate adjustments in the number and type of shares subject to Awards then outstanding
under the Plan pursuant to the terms of such grants or otherwise.



Section 6. Duration of Plan




     6.1 Duration of Plan. The Plan shall remain in effect until, and no Award may be granted on or
after, April 25, 2011, subject to the Board’s right to earlier terminate the Plan pursuant to
Section 14 hereof.



Section 7. Stock Options




     7.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the provisions of Section 5 and 6, Options may be granted to
Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. The
Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Options granted to each
Participant. The Committee may grant any type of Option to purchase Stock that is permitted by law
at the time of grant.



     7.2 Option Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an option agreement that shall specify
the type of Option granted, the Option price, the duration of the Option, the number of shares of
Stock to which the Option pertains, the vesting schedule for the Options, and such other provisions
as the Committee shall determine.



     7.3 Option Price. No Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall have an Option price that is less
than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Option is granted.



     7.4 Exercise of Options. Options awarded under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be
subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall approve, either at the time of
grant of such Options or pursuant to a general determination, and which need not be the same for
all Participants. Each Option which is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant
to Section 422 of the Code, and each Option which is intended to
qualify as



 









 




another type of ISO which may subsequently be authorized by law, shall comply with the
applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to such Options.




     7.5 Payment. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the
Company, setting forth the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is to be
exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Stock. The Option price upon exercise of any Option
shall be payable to the Company in full, as provided in the option agreement, either:




	 	(a)	 	in cash, check or wire transfer, denominated in U.S. Dollars except with
the consent of the Committee or as specified by the Committee with respect
to foreign employees or foreign sub-plans;
	 
	 	(b)	 	by tendering previously-acquired Stock (as determined by the Committee)
having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the
total Option price,
	 
	 	(c)	 	if the Committee shall authorize in its sole discretion, by payment of the
purchase price in installments or with other borrowed funds; provided,
however, that the provisions of each installment purchase agreement: (i)
shall provide that the purchaser, at the purchaser’s option, may pay any or
all such installments at one time, (ii) shall comply with all applicable
credit regulations, if any, then in effect and issued or enacted by
governmental authority having jurisdiction, including Regulation U of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System if such Regulation is then
in effect, (iii) shall be established by the Committee and shall include a
specified rate of interest payable on the unpaid balance, and (iv) shall
require that the certificate for Shares purchased pursuant to installment
arrangement be pledged to the Company,






The certificates for stock purchased pursuant to an installment purchase
agreement will be delivered to the purchaser, who shall take title to such
Stock, and shall be immediately deposited by the purchaser, together with a
properly executed stock power, with the Secretary of the Company to be held
by the Company as security for the payment of the installments of the
purchase price, including interest. The purchaser shall be entitled to all
voting rights with respect thereto and all cash dividends paid thereon. In
the event of the payment by the Company of a stock dividend on or the
declaration by the Company of a stock split with respect to any of its Stock
held as security pursuant to an installment purchase agreement hereunder,
the pledge under such agreement shall extend to the Stock issued in payment
of such stock dividend or on account of such stock split. The purchaser
shall deliver to the Company the certificates representing the dividend or
split Stock upon receipt thereof, together with a properly executed stock
power. In the event that the Stock held as security pursuant to an
installment purchase agreement shall be changed or reclassified as a result
of any charter amendment, recapitalization,



 









 






reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of assets or similar
transactions, the changed or reclassified Stock or other assets or both
received as a result of such transaction shall be substituted for the Stock
pledged under such agreement; and the purchaser shall promptly deliver to
the Company any certificates issued to represent the Stock so changed or
reclassified and any such other assets, together with a properly executed
stock power. If rights to subscribe for or purchase Stock or other
securities shall be issued to holders of Stock held as security pursuant to
an installment purchase agreement, such rights shall belong to the purchaser
free from pledge. Upon completion of payment for such Stock, including
interest to the date of payment, and subject to any requirements necessary
to comply with Regulation U or other applicable credit regulations, the
purchaser shall be entitled to the return from the Company of the
certificates so pledged,




	 	(d)	 	by any other means which the Committee determines to be consistent with the
Plan’s purpose and applicable law,
	 
	 	(e)	 	by having the notice of exercise direct that the certificate or certificates
for such Shares for which the option is exercised be delivered to a licensed
broker acceptable to the Company as the agent for the individual exercising
the option and, at the time such certificate or certificates are delivered,
the broker tenders to the Company cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the
Company equal to the purchase price for such Shares purchased pursuant to
the exercise of the option plus the amount (if any) of federal and other
taxes which the Company may, in its sole judgment, be required to withhold
with respect to the exercise of the option, or
	 
	 	(f)	 	by a combination of (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e).




The exercise of an Option shall cancel any SAR which was specifically granted in tandem with such
Option to the extent of the number of shares as to which the Option is exercised. As soon as
practicable after receipt of each notice and full payment, the Company shall deliver to the
Participant a certificate or certificates representing acquired shares of Stock.




     7.6 Limitations on ISOs. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent
required from time to time by the Code, the following additional provisions shall apply to the
grant of Options which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options (as such term is defined
in Section 422 of the Code):




	 	(a)	 	The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Option is
granted) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any
calendar year (under all plans of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000 or
such other amount as may subsequently be specified by the Code; provided
that, to the extent that such limitation is exceeded, any




 









 












excess Options (as determined under the Code) shall be deemed to be
Nonstatutory (Nonqualified) Stock Options.




	 	(b)	 	Any Incentive Stock Option authorized under the Plan shall contain such
other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable, but shall in all
events be consistent with and contain or be deemed to contain all provisions
required in order to qualify the Options as Incentive Stock Options,
including, but not limited to, provisions applicable to Incentive Stock
Options granted to a 10% shareholder of the Company within the meaning of
Code Section 422(b)(6).
	 
	 	(c)	 	All Incentive Stock Options must be granted within ten years from the date
on which this Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Unless exercised, terminated, or canceled sooner, all Incentive Stock
Options shall expire no later than ten years after the date of grant (five
years in the case of an ISO granted to a 10% shareholder).





     7.7 Restrictions on Stock Transferability. The Committee shall impose such restrictions on any
shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option under the Plan as it may deem
advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under the applicable federal securities law,
under the requirements of any stock exchange upon which such shares of Stock are then listed and
under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such shares.



     7.8 Termination of Employment or Service. Unless otherwise provided in the option agreement,
subsections (a) through (d) shall apply.




	 	(a)	 	Termination of Employment or Service Due to Death or Disability. In the
event a Participant’s employment or service as a Non-Employee Director is
terminated by reason of death or disability, any outstanding Options whether
or not then exercisable, may be exercised within three (3) years after such
date of termination of employment or service. In no case shall the period
for exercise extend beyond the expiration date of such option grant.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Termination of Employment or Service Due to Retirement. In the event that a
Participant’s employment or service as a Non-Employee Director is terminated
due to retirement, the Options theretofore granted to such Participant may
be exercised to the extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise
the Options at the date of such termination, but only within a period of
three (3) years beginning on the day following the date of such termination,
and provided further that any Incentive Stock Options may be exercised only
within a period of three (3) months beginning on the day following the date
of such termination. In no case shall the period for exercise extend beyond
the expiration date of such Option grant. So long as a Participant shall
continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director or continue to be an employee
of the Company, the Options granted to the




 









 












Participant shall not be affected by any change of duties or position. A
change of employment from the Company to a subsidiary, from a subsidiary to
the Company, from one subsidiary to another, or any combination thereof,
shall not be considered to be a termination of employment for purposes of
this Plan.




	 	(c)	 	Resignation or Termination Without Cause. In the event that a Participant’s
employment with the Company or its subsidiaries or the service of a
Non-Employee Director is terminated due to resignation or termination
without cause (other than in circumstances that constitute a retirement),
the options theretofore granted to such Participant may be exercised to the
extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise the options at the
date of such resignation, but only within a period of three (3) months
beginning on the day following the date of such termination. In no case
shall the period for exercise extend beyond the expiration date of such
option.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all
outstanding options shall immediately terminate without further action on
the part of the Company in the event of the termination of a Participant’s
employment or service with the Company or its subsidiaries for Cause.





     7.9 Effect of a Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option agreement, the
following shall apply in the event of a Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control, the Company shall provide written notice thereof (the “Change in Control Notice”) to the
Participants. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate all
outstanding options as of the 30th day immediately following the date of the sending of the Change
in Control Notice by including a statement to such effect in the Change in Control Notice. Upon
delivery of the Change in Control Notice and regardless of whether the Company elects to terminate
the outstanding options, the Participants shall have the right to immediately exercise all
outstanding options (whether or not immediately exercisable, notwithstanding the Change in Control)
in full during the 30-day period notwithstanding the other terms and conditions otherwise set forth
in the Plan or in any certificate or agreement representing such option.



     7.10 Nontransferability of Options. Except as provided below, no Option
granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all
Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by
such Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, authorize
all or a portion of the Options (other than Incentive Stock Options) granted to a Participant to be
on terms which permit transfer by such Participant to:




	 	(a)	 	the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Participant (“Immediate Family
Members”);




 









 












	 	(b)	 	a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family
Members, or;
	 
	 	(c)	 	a partnership in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners,
provided that:






	 	(i)	 	there may be no consideration for any such transfer;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the Award agreement pursuant to which such Options are granted
expressly provides for transferability in a manner consistent with
this Section 7.10; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	subsequent transfers of transferred Options shall be prohibited
except transfers back to the Participant or those in accordance with
Section 11.




Following transfer, any such Options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions
as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer, provided that for purposes of Section 11
hereof, the term “Participant” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee. The provisions of
Section 7 relating to the period of exercisability and expiration of the Option shall continue to
be applied with respect to the original Participant, and the Option shall be exercisable by the
transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, set forth in said Section 7.




     7.11 Compliance with Code Section 409A. No Option shall provide for deferral of
compensation that does not comply with Section 409A of the Code, unless the Board, at the time of
grant, specifically provides that the Option is not intended to comply with Section 409A of the
Code.



Section 8. Stock Appreciation Rights




     8.1 Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6, Stock
Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as
shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining
the number of SARs granted to each Participant. Each SAR award shall be evidenced by an Award
agreement setting forth the number of shares of Stock to which the SAR pertains, the vesting
schedule for the SARs, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.



     8.2 Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of the SAR, the Participant shall be entitled to receive
payment of an amount (subject to Section 8.4 below) determined by multiplying:




	 	(a)	 	The difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the date
of exercise over the price fixed by the Committee at the date of grant, by
	 
	 	(b)	 	The number of shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is
exercised.




 









 











     8.3 Form and Timing of Payment. At the discretion of the Committee, payment to the Participant of
the SAR amount described in Section 8.2 may be made in cash or Stock, or in a combination thereof.



     8.4 Limit of Appreciation. At the time of grant, the Committee may establish in its sole
discretion, a maximum amount per share which will be payable upon exercise of an SAR.



     8.5 Term of SAR. The term of an SAR granted under the Plan shall not exceed ten years.



     8.6 Termination of Employment or Service; Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in the
Award agreement, in the event of (i) termination of the employment or service of a Participant, or
(ii) upon a Change in Control, any SARs outstanding shall be treated in the same manner as
specified for Options (excluding Incentive Stock Options) under Sections 7.8 and 7.9 respectively.



     8.7 Nontransferability of SARs. No SAR granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged,
assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. Further, all SARs granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable
during his lifetime only by such Participant.



Section 9. Restricted Stock




     9.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6, the Committee, at
any time and from time to time, may grant shares of Restricted Stock under the Plan to such
Participants and in such amounts as it shall determine. Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be
evidenced by an Award agreement which shall specify the number of shares of stock granted, the
schedule for lapse of the restrictions, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.
If such Award agreement specifies a purchase price to be paid by Participant for the Restricted
Stock, such price may be paid in any of the forms described under Sections 7.5(a)-(f) above.



     The Committee may at any time and from time to time, establish performance criteria with
respect to an Award of Restricted Stock. The performance criteria or standards shall be determined
by the Committee in writing and may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in
relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated and may be based on or
adjusted for any other objective goals, events, or occurrences established by the Committee,
provided that such criteria or standards relate to one or more of the following: earnings,
earnings growth, revenues, expenses, stock price, market share, charge-offs, loan loss reserves,
reductions in non-performing assets, return on assets, return on equity, or assets, investment,
regulatory compliance, satisfactory internal or external audits, improvement of financial ratings,
achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives, extraordinary charges, losses from
discontinued operations, restatements and accounting changes and other unplanned special charges
such as restructuring expenses, acquisition expenses including goodwill, unplanned stock offerings
and strategic loan loss provisions. Such performance standards may be particular to a line of
business, subsidiary or other unit or may be based on the performance of the Company generally.



 









 





     9.2 Transferability. Except as provided in Sections 9.6 and 9.7 hereof, the shares of Restricted
Stock granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated for such period of time (the “Period of Restriction”) as shall be determined by the
Committee and shall be specified in the Restricted Stock Award agreement, or upon earlier
satisfaction of other conditions, as specified by the Committee in its sole discretion and set
forth in the Restricted Stock Award agreement.



     9.3 Other Restrictions. The Committee shall impose such other restrictions on any shares of
Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without
limitation, restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws, and may legend the
certificates representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.



     9.4 Voting Rights. Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise
full voting rights with respect to those shares during the Period of Restriction.



     9.5 Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding
shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other
distributions paid with respect to those shares while they are so held. If any dividends or
distributions are paid in shares of Stock pursuant to Section 5.4, the shares shall be subject to
the same restrictions on transferability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which
they were paid.



     9.6 Termination of Employment or Service; Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in the
Award agreement, the following shall apply:




	 	(a)	 	Termination of Employment or Service Due to Death or Disability. In the
event a Participant’s employment or service as a Non-Employee Director is
terminated due to death or disability, the Period of Restriction applicable
to the Restricted Stock pursuant to Subsection 9.2 hereof shall
automatically terminate and, except as otherwise provided in Subsection 9.3,
the shares of Restricted Stock shall thereby be free of restrictions and
freely transferable.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Termination of Employment or Service for Reasons Other than Death or
Disability. In the event that a Participant’s employment or service as a
Non-Employee Director is terminated for any reason other than death or
disability during the Period of Restriction, then any shares of Restricted
Stock still subject to restrictions at the date of such termination
automatically shall be forfeited and returned to the Company; provided,
however, that, in the event of retirement or an involuntary termination of
the employment of a Participant by the Company other than for cause, the
Committee in its sole discretion may waive the automatic forfeiture of any
or all such shares and/or may add such new restrictions to such shares of
Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in the Award agreement, upon a
Change in Control, the Period of Restriction applicable to the




 









 












Restricted Stock pursuant to Subsection 9.2 hereof shall automatically terminate and,
except as otherwise provided in Subsection 9.3, the shares of Restricted
Stock shall thereby be free of restrictions and freely transferable.



     9.7 Nontransferability of Restricted Stock. No shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan
may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution until the termination of the applicable Period
of Restriction. All rights with respect to Restricted Stock granted to a Participant under the
Plan shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by such Participant.



Section 10. Phantom Stock Units




     10.1 Grant of Phantom Stock Units. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6, Phantom Stock
Units may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by
the Committee. Each grant of Phantom Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award agreement setting
forth the number of Phantom Stock Units, the applicable vesting schedule and such other provisions
as the Committee shall determine.



     The Committee may at any time and from time to time, establish performance criteria with
respect to an Award of Phantom Stock Units. The performance criteria or standards shall be
determined by the Committee in writing and may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in
relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated and may be based on or
adjusted for any other objective goals, events, or occurrences established by the Committee,
provided that such criteria or standards relate to one or more of the following: earnings,
earnings growth, revenues, expenses, stock price, market share, charge-offs, loan loss reserves,
reductions in non-performing assets, return on assets, return on equity, or assets, investment,
regulatory compliance, satisfactory internal or external audits, improvement of financial ratings,
achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives, extraordinary charges, losses from
discontinued operations, restatements and accounting changes and other unplanned special charges
such as restructuring expenses, acquisition expenses including goodwill, unplanned stock offerings
and strategic loan loss provisions. Such performance standards may be particular to a line of
business, subsidiary or other unit or may be based on the performance of the Company generally.



     10.2 Value. Each Phantom Stock Unit shall represent one share of Stock.



     10.3 Payment for Phantom Stock Units. After satisfaction of the vesting schedule specified in the
Award agreement, the holder of a Phantom Stock Unit shall be entitled to receive the then-current
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock multiplied by the number of Phantom Stock Units he chooses to
exercise, less the exercise price to be paid by Participant (if any) as specified in the Award
agreement. If such Award agreement specifies an exercise price to be paid by Participant for the
Phantom Stock Units, such price may be paid in any of the forms described under Section 7.5(a)-(f)
above.



 









 





     10.4 Form and Timing of Payment. Payment to the Participant as described in Section 10.3 above may
be made in cash, Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee. Payment may be
made in a lump sum or installments as prescribed by the Committee. If any payment is to be made on
a deferred basis, the Committee may provide for the payment of dividend equivalents or interest
during the deferral period.



     10.5 Termination of Employment or Service; Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in the
Award agreement, in the event of (i) termination of the employment or service of a Participant, or
(ii) upon a Change in Control, any Phantom Stock Units outstanding shall be treated in the same
manner as specified for Options (excluding Incentive Stock Options) under Sections 7.8 and 7.9
respectively.



     10.6 Nontransferability. No Phantom Stock Units granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. All rights with respect to Phantom Stock Units granted to a Participant
under the Plan shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by such Participant.



     10.7 No Dividend Payments. A Participant granted Phantom Stock Units shall not be credited with
any dividends which would be received with respect to an equivalent number of shares of Stock.



     10.8 Expiration. A Participant’s Phantom Stock Units shall in all events expire on the tenth
anniversary of the date on which they were awarded.



Section 11. Beneficiary Designation




     11.1 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may name, from time to time, any
beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit
under the Plan is to be paid in case of his death before he receives any or all of such benefit.
Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form
provided by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with
the Committee during his lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining
unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to his estate.



Section 12. Rights of Employees and Non-Employee Directors




     12.1 Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right
of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or service as a Non-Employee Director at
any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company.



     12.2 Participation. No Employee or Non-Employee Director shall have a right to be selected as a
Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant.



Section 13. Change in Control




     13.1 In General. Unless otherwise provided in an Award agreement, in the event of a Change in
Control of the Company as defined below, all Awards under the Plan shall vest 100%,



 









 




whereupon all
Options, SARs and Phantom Stock Units shall become exercisable in full and the restrictions
applicable to any Restricted Stock shall terminate.




     13.2 Definition. Unless otherwise provided in an Award agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean
the occurrence of any of the following events:




	 	(a)	 	Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than (i) a trustee or
other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) a Corporation owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the
total voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting
Stock”), provided, however, that the following shall not constitute a change
in control: (1) such person becomes a beneficial owner of 50% or more of
the Voting Stock as the result of an acquisition of such Voting Stock
directly from the Company, or (2) such person becomes a beneficial owner of
30% or more of the Voting Stock as a result of the decrease in the number of
outstanding shares of Voting Stock caused by the repurchase of shares by the
Company; provided, further, that in the event a person described in clause
(1) or (2) shall thereafter increase (other than in circumstances described
in clause (1) or (2)) beneficial ownership of stock representing more than
1% of the Voting Stock, such person shall be deemed to become a beneficial
owner of 30% or more of the Voting Stock for purposes of this paragraph (a),
provided such person continues to beneficially own 30% or more of the Voting
Stock after such subsequent increase in beneficial ownership, or
	 
	 	(b)	 	During any period of two consecutive years, individuals (the “Incumbent
Board”), who at the beginning of such period constitute the board of
directors of the Company, and any new director, whose election by the board
of directors of the Company or nomination for election by the Company’s
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of
the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, or
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Company shall become a party to an agreement of a reorganization, merger
or consolidation or the sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”),
in each case, unless (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Voting Stock
immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own,




 









 












directly or
indirectly, more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the
voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of
the corporation resulting from the Business Combination (including, without
limitation, a corporation which as a result of the Business Combination owns
the Company’s or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either
directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to the Business
Combination of the Voting Stock of the Company, and (2) at least a majority
of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from
the Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of
the execution of the initial agreement, or action of the Incumbent Board,
providing for such Business Combination, or




	 	(d)	 	the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.




The Committee has final authority to construe and interpret the provisions of the foregoing
paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) and to determine the exact date on which a change in control has
been deemed to have occurred thereunder.




Section 14. Interpretation, Amendment, Modification, and Termination of Plan




     14.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination of Plan. The Board at any time may terminate, and
from time to time may amend, modify or suspend the Plan in whole or part subject to any requirement
of stockholder approval imposed by applicable law, rule or regulation. No amendment, modification,
or termination of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Award theretofore granted under
the Plan, without the consent of the Participant.



     14.2 Interpretation. Whether a Participant’s employment or service as a Non-Employee Director is
terminated due to “retirement,” “disability,” “resignation” or “for cause” shall be determined
pursuant to the Award agreement by the Committee in its sole discretion, which determination shall
be final and conclusive. Whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence on military or
governmental service, or for any other reason, shall constitute a termination of employment or
service for purposes of this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion,
which determination shall be final and conclusive. The construction, interpretation and
validity of the Plan and any Award hereunder shall be determined in accordance with and governed by
the laws of the State of Indiana applicable to contracts executed and performed in such state
without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.



Section 15. Tax Withholding




     15.1 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or
require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy



 









 




federal, state, and
local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any
taxable event arising as a result of the Plan.




     15.2 Share Withholding. With respect to tax withholding required upon the exercise of Options or
Phantom Stock Units, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, or upon any other taxable
event arising as a result of Awards granted hereunder, Participants may elect to satisfy the
payroll tax withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold shares of
Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum
statutory total tax withholding which would be imposed on the transaction (or to such part of the
tax so long as the balance above the minimum required withholding is paid by the Participant in
cash). All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant, and
shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion,
deems appropriate.



Section 16. Indemnification




     16.1 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of the
Board, or to whom a delegation has been made pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action,
suit, or proceeding to which he may be a party or in which he may be involved by reason of any
action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him
in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him in satisfaction of any judgment
in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him, provided he shall give the Company an
opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle and
defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any
other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the
Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.



Section 17. Requirements of Law




     17.1 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock upon the
exercise of an Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such
approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required,
including without limitation (i) for residents of the United States, federal and state securities
laws, (ii) for residents of Canada and other jurisdictions, the securities laws of Canada and other
jurisdictions, and (iii) for the Company, the listing maintenance requirements of the New York
Stock Exchange, or other exchanges or quotation markets.



     17.2 Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of Indiana. With respect to any dispute arising out of this Plan,
an Award or alleged breaches of this Plan, an Award
or both, a Participant, by accepting an Award, irrevocably consent, to the maximum extent permitted
by law, to the jurisdiction and venue of the Federal Courts in Indiana if they have subject matter



 









 




jurisdiction, and otherwise to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Indiana,
and the Employee shall not be entitled to a trial by jury.




Section 18. Provisions for Foreign Participants




     The Committee may make Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, who are employed
outside of the United States of America or both (collectively, “Foreign Participants”) on terms and
conditions consistent with the Plan’s purpose but different from the provisions specified herein
without amending the Plan as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate, as determined in its sole
discretion. Subject to any requirement of stockholder approval imposed by applicable law, rule or
regulation, the Committee may modify previously granted Awards granted to Foreign Participants,
establish sub-plans or procedures under the Plan or both to reflect special terms to recognize
differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to
tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters.



 









 





EXHIBIT TO THE IRWIN FINANCIAL CORPORATION




AMENDED AND RESTATED 2001 STOCK PLAN




SUB-PLAN FOR BENEFICIARIES RESIDING IN CANADA



The purpose of this exhibit to the Plan is to set forth the terms and conditions defining the
rights and obligations of both the Company and Participants who are considered Canadian tax
residents at any time and who may benefit from time to time from the Options granted by the Company
in compliance with the applicable Canadian legal and tax provisions and the general terms and
conditions of the Plan.



Article I. Purpose



The Committee imposes the restrictions set forth in this sub-plan to Canadian tax residents for
the purpose of allowing affected Participants to be entitled to claim a stock option deduction
pursuant to paragraph 110(1)(d) of the Canadian Income Tax Act (the “Act”) and applicable
regulations. This exhibit shall be interpreted in all events consistent with this purpose.



Article II. General Restriction for Paragraph 110(1)(d) Deduction



(a) There shall be no limit on a Participant’s right to participate in dividends or in
the assets distributed upon any liquidation of the Company with respect to Stock issued upon
exercise of an Option.



(b) Stock received on exercise of an Option cannot be converted into any other security
(other than into another security of the Company or of another corporation with which it does not
deal at arm’s length) that is, or would be, a “prescribed share” (as defined under the Act) as of
the date of conversion.



(c) An Employee cannot at that time or any time thereafter require the Company to
redeem, acquire, or cancel Stock received on exercise of an Option (except pursuant to a conversion
permitted as described in paragraph (b) above).



(d) The Company shall not have the right to redeem, acquire or cancel Stock received on
exercise of an Option except at Fair Market Value.



(e) The Company shall not be obligated to reduce the paid-up capital in respect of any
Stock received on exercise of an Option (except where the reduction is required pursuant to a
conversion permitted as described in paragraph (b) above).



Article III. Available Methods to Pay Option Exercise Price



A Participant subject to this sub-plan shall not tender shares of Stock acquired on exercise of
an Option to exercise another option; provided, however, that nothing in this sub-plan shall
prohibit any such Participant from exercising an Option by attesting that he or she owns shares of
Stock




 









 







that have been held for more than six months having a total Fair Market Value that is at least
equal to its exercise price (as determined by the Committee on the date of exercise) and receiving
new shares of Stock with a total Fair Market Value equal to the difference between the value of the
Stock and the exercise price for the portion of the Option that is then being exercised by such
Participant.



Article IV. Available Methods to Pay for Applicable Taxes



A Participant subject to this sub-plan shall not tender shares of Stock acquired on exercise of
an Option to satisfy his or her taxes as required by law to be withheld with respect to the
exercise of an Option; provided however, that nothing herein shall prohibit any such Participant
from attesting that he or she owns shares of Stock that have been held for at least six months with
a total Fair Market Value that is at least equal to such Participant’s applicable taxes as required
by law to be withheld with respect to any such Award.



Article V. Effective Date



This Exhibit shall apply to all Options awarded to Participants who are considered Canadian tax
residents at any time on or after the Effective Date (as defined in the Plan).
