                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into effective
September 15, 2003, by and between IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. ("Employer") and Sherry
DuPont ("Officer").

         1.       TERM. Employer agrees to employ Officer and Officer agrees to
serve Employer and its affiliates, in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, for a period of three (3) years, commencing on the date first
set forth above, unless Officer's employment is earlier terminated as herein
provided.

         2.       POSITION, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Officer shall serve as
an Executive Vice President of Employer, or of one of Employer's affiliated
companies, as determined by Employer. Officer agrees to devote Officer's
full-time best efforts to the business and affairs of Employer and its
affiliates, to perform such executive and managerial duties as may be assigned
to Officer, and to diligently promote the business, affairs and interests of
Employer and its affiliates. If so requested by Employer, Officer agrees to
serve concurrently, and without additional compensation, as an officer of both
Employer and of one or more of Employer's affiliates, including its
subsidiaries.

         3.       OUTSIDE AFFILIATIONS. During the term of this Agreement,
Officer shall not compete, either directly or indirectly, with the business of
Employer or its affiliates. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Officer may make and manage personal business investments of Officer's choice
and may serve in any capacity with any civic, educational or charitable
organization, or with any governmental entity or trade association, provided
that such activities do not interfere with or conflict with Officer's duties
under this Agreement. Officer may not sit on the board of directors of any
civic, educational or charitable organization without first obtaining Employer's
written consent.

         4.       COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. In consideration of the performance
of Officer's duties under this Agreement, Employer or its affiliates shall
provide to Officer the compensation set forth below. All compensation paid to
Officer by Employer or by any of its affiliates shall be aggregated in
determining whether Officer has received the benefits described herein, but
without prejudice to the allocation of costs among the entities to which Officer
renders services under this Agreement.

                  4.1      BASE SALARY. Employer shall pay to Officer a base
salary at the annual rate set forth in Appendix A. Officer's base salary shall
be payable in equal installments no less frequently than every month. Employer
may, in its sole discretion, increase Officer's base salary during the term of
this Agreement, but Employer will not decrease Officer's base salary below the
amount set forth in Appendix A.

                  4.2      INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. For each calendar year during
the term of this Agreement, Employer shall pay to Officer an incentive
compensation award in an amount to be determined pursuant to the then-applicable
Annual Incentive Plan set forth in Appendix A. The terms of the Annual Incentive
Plan shall be agreed upon by Employer and Officer during the first

                                       1
<PAGE>

quarter of each new calendar year during the term of this Agreement. Any
incentive compensation award payable to Officer pursuant to the Annual Incentive
Plan shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days after completion and
publication of the applicable audited financial statements for the relevant
calendar year. Except as otherwise provided herein, any incentive compensation
award described in the Annual Incentive Plan, and Officer's base salary to the
extent that the incentive compensation award is a percentage of Officer's base
salary, shall be prorated to the extent that Officer is employed for less than
twelve (12) full months during the relevant calendar year.

                  4.3      STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK. During the term
of this Agreement, Employer's public company affiliate, IndyMac Bancorp, Inc.,
or any successor public company ("Public Company"), may grant to Officer stock
options and/or restricted stock for such number of shares of the Public
Company's common stock as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Public Company ("Compensation Committee") in its sole discretion
determines, taking into account Officer's and the Public Company's performance
and the competitive practices then prevailing regarding the granting of stock
options. Subject to the foregoing, it is anticipated that the number of shares
in respect of each annual stock option and/or restricted stock grant, if any,
shall be comparable to the number of shares granted to officers of Employer at a
level similar to Officer's level. The stock options and/or restricted stock
herein described shall be granted at the same time as the Public Company grants
stock options and/or restricted stock to its other officers.

                  All stock options and restricted stock granted herein: (i)
shall be granted pursuant to the Public Company's current stock option plan, or
such other stock option plan or plans as may come into effect during the term of
this Agreement, (ii) shall be priced and shall vest in accordance with the terms
set by the Compensation Committee or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement,
and (iii) shall be subject to such other reasonable terms and conditions as may
be determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the agreement or
other document evidencing the award.

                  The effect of Officer's termination on the vesting of any
stock options or restricted stock granted under this Agreement is described in
Section 5.2. In the event that vested options held by Officer immediately after
such termination represent shares of common stock in an amount equal to or
greater than 500,000, then the maximum period for the exercise of any options
shall be twelve (12) months. In the event that vested options held by Officer
immediately after such termination represent shares of common stock in an amount
equal to or greater than 100,000 but less than 500,000, then the maximum period
for the exercise of any options shall be six (6) months. In the event that
vested options held by Officer immediately after such termination represent
shares of common stock in an amount less than 100,000, then the maximum period
for their exercise shall be three (3) months.

                  4.4      ADDITIONAL BENEFITS. Officer shall be entitled to
paid vacation, subject to Employer's vacation policies in effect from time to
time. Officer shall also be entitled to participate in Employer's life and
medical insurance plans, and in any stock purchase, executive compensation,
pension, profit-sharing, deferred compensation, or other benefit or bonus plans
that are offered to Employer's employees generally, or to officers of Employer
at a level similar to Officer's level, subject to the terms and conditions,
including any applicable eligibility

                                       2

requirements, of any such plan. This Agreement shall not affect or otherwise
modify the provisions of any other compensation, retirement or other benefit
program or plan of Employer.

         5.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement, the compensation
and benefits provided under this Agreement, and Officer's employment with
Employer, are terminable as herein provided.

                  5.1      GROUNDS FOR TERMINATION.  Employer may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement and Officer's employment on
the following grounds:

                           5.1.1    DISABILITY.  In the event of Officer's
inability to perform his or her duties (with or without reasonable
accommodation) because of illness, injury or similar incapacity for four (4)
consecutive calendar months, or for shorter periods aggregating eighty (80) or
more business days in any twelve (12)-month period ("Disability"), this
Agreement and Officer's employment may be terminated by Employer by giving
Notice of Termination as provided in Section 9.1.

                           5.1.2    DEATH.  In the event of Officer's death
during the term of this Agreement ("Death"), this Agreement and Officer's
employment shall immediately and automatically terminate.

                           5.1.3    CAUSE.  Employer may terminate this
Agreement and Officer's employment by giving Notice of Termination at any time
for cause. "Cause" means any act or omission to act by Officer which
constitutes, in the sole discretion of Employer, (i) a material breach of this
Agreement that is committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such
act or omission is in the best interests of Employer, (ii) negligence or
misconduct resulting in a material loss to Employer, (iii) gross negligence,
(iv) an intentional and material failure to perform Officer's assigned duties,
(v) fraud, theft or dishonesty, (vi) willful violation of any law, rule or
regulation of a governmental authority, other than traffic violations, (vii)
regular alcohol or drug abuse, (viii) such other conduct as is reasonably likely
to cause Employer public disgrace or disrepute, or (ix) entry of an order by any
state or federal regulatory agency either removing Officer from Officer's
position with Employer or its affiliates or prohibiting Officer from
participating in the conduct of the affairs of Employer or any of its
affiliates.

                           5.1.4    POOR PERFORMANCE.  Employer may terminate
this Agreement and Officer's employment by giving Notice of Termination at any
time for poor performance. "Poor Performance" means a failure of Officer to
properly meet, in the sole discretion of Employer, the duties and
responsibilities of Officer's position in a competent fashion.

                           5.1.5    NO CAUSE.  Employer may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement and Officer's employment by giving
Notice of Termination at any time for no reason, or for any reason whatsoever
other than Death, Disability, Cause or Poor Performance ("No Cause").

                           5.1.6    RESIGNATION.  Should Officer voluntarily
resign Officer's employment, either by giving Notice of Termination during the
term of this Agreement or otherwise ("Resignation"), Officer's employment shall
terminate immediately, unless Officer and Employer mutually agree on a later
effective date of termination.

                  5.2      BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION.

                           5.2.1    DISABILITY.  Regardless of Officer's
position or years of service with Employer or its affiliates, in the event that
Officer's employment terminates by reason of Disability, as defined in Section
5.1.1, Officer shall be entitled to receive (i) all accrued but unpaid vacation
benefits as of the Termination Date, as defined in Section 9.1, (ii) any other
benefits already vested as of the Termination Date under any of Employer's
applicable stock option, pension, bonus or other similar plans in which Officer
participated immediately prior to termination ("Vested Benefits"), (iii) the
immediate vesting, to the extent not otherwise vested, of all outstanding stock
options or similar awards previously granted to Officer under Section 4.3, and
(iv) Officer's incentive compensation award for the year in which Officer became
disabled, prorated to the Termination Date. Officer shall also be entitled to
receive the following benefits for a period of time commencing from the
Termination Date and continuing for the number of months remaining in the term
of this Agreement, or until Officer's death, whichever first occurs: (v)
continuation of Officer's base salary, reduced by 50%, minus the amount of any
cash payments due to Officer under the terms of Employer's disability insurance
or other disability benefit plan funded by Employer or Employer's tax-qualified
Defined Benefit Pension Plan, all subject to Section 5.2.8, and (vi)
continuation of benefits substantially equivalent to the life, disability and
medical insurance policies maintained by Employer on behalf of Officer and
Officer's spouse and dependents, if any, immediately prior to the Notice of
Termination, but then only to the extent that Officer is not entitled to
comparable benefits from other employment.

                           5.2.2    DEATH.  Regardless of Officer's position or
years of service with Employer or its affiliates, in the event of Officer's
Death, as defined in Section 5.1.2, Employer shall pay to such person or persons
as Officer shall have designated in writing or, in the absence of such a
designation, to Officer's estate, (i) all accrued but unpaid vacation benefits
as of the date of Death, (ii) any Vested Benefits, (iii) to the extent not
otherwise vested, all outstanding stock options or similar awards previously
granted to Officer, which will vest immediately upon Officer's Death, and (iv)
Officer's incentive compensation award for the year in which Death occurs,
prorated to date of Death. Employer shall also, within forty-five (45) days
following Officer's Death, pay to Officer's designee or to Officer's estate an
amount equal to two times Officer's last annual base salary. Employer shall
also, for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of Officer's Death,
pay the cost of any continued coverage under Employer's group medical insurance
plan for the benefit of Officer's spouse and dependents, if any, should they
elect continued coverage under COBRA, provided they were covered under the plan
immediately prior to Officer's Death.

                           5.2.3    CAUSE.  Regardless of Officer's position or
years of service with Employer or its affiliates, in the event of Officer's
termination for Cause, as defined in Section 5.1.3, Officer shall be entitled to
payment of Officer's base salary through the Termination Date, to any accrued
but unpaid vacation benefits, and to any other Vested Benefits, but to no other
payments or benefits whatsoever.

                           5.2.4    POOR PERFORMANCE.  In the event of Officer's
termination for Poor Performance, as defined in Section 5.1.4, the benefits
payable to Officer shall depend upon Officer's position and years of continuous
service to Employer or its affiliates. If Officer had five (5) or fewer years of
continuous service as of the Termination Date, Officer shall be entitled

                                       4
<PAGE>

to payment of Officer's base salary through the Termination Date, and to
continuation of Officer's base salary, reduced by 50%, for the lesser of one
year or the number of months remaining in the term of this Agreement as of the
Termination Date, subject to Section 5.2.8.

                           If Officer had more than five (5) years of continuous
service as of the Termination Date, or if Officer is a director, officer or
principal stockholder of Employer or of any of its affiliates as described in
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act ("Section 16 Employee"), Officer shall be
entitled to payment of Officer's base salary through the Termination Date, and
to continuation of Officer's base salary for the lesser of one year or the
number of months remaining in the term of this Agreement as of the Termination
Date, subject to Section 5.2.8, and to the additional benefit described in
Section 5.2.9, if allowed by law.

                           Regardless of Officer's position or years of service,
Officer shall also be entitled to any accrued but unpaid vacation benefits, to
any other Vested Benefits, and to Officer's incentive compensation award for the
year in which Officer was terminated, prorated to the Termination Date, but to
no other payments or benefits whatsoever.

                           5.2.5    NO CAUSE.  In the event Officer's employment
is terminated for No Cause, as defined in Section 5.1.5, the benefits payable to
Officer shall depend upon Officer's position and years of continuous service to
Employer or its affiliates. If Officer had five (5) or fewer years of continuous
service as of the Termination Date, Officer shall be entitled to payment of
Officer's base salary through the Termination Date, and to continuation of
Officer's base salary for the lesser of one year or the number of months
remaining in the term of this Agreement as of the Termination Date, subject to
Section 5.2.8.

                           If Officer had more than five (5) years of continuous
service as of the Termination Date, or if Officer is a Section 16 Employee,
Officer shall be entitled to payment of Officer's base salary through the
Termination Date, to continuation of Officer's base salary, increased by 100%,
for the lesser of one year or the number of months remaining in the term of this
Agreement as of the Termination Date, subject to Section 5.2.8, and to the
additional benefit described in Section 5.2.9, if allowed by law.

                           Regardless of Officer's position or years of service,
Officer shall also be entitled to any accrued but unpaid vacation benefits, to
any other Vested Benefits, to Officer's incentive compensation award for the
year in which Officer was terminated, prorated to the Termination Date, and to
the immediate vesting, to the extent not otherwise vested, of all outstanding
stock options or similar awards previously granted to Officer under Section 4.3,
but only to the extent that any such outstanding stock options or similar awards
would, by their terms, vest within one (1) year of the Termination Date. In
addition, Officer shall be entitled, for a period of twelve (12) months
following the Termination Date, to continuation of benefits substantially
equivalent to the life, disability and medical insurance policies maintained by
Employer on behalf of Officer and Officer's spouse and dependents, if any,
immediately prior to the Notice of Termination, but only to the extent that
Officer is not entitled to comparable benefits from other employment.

                           5.2.6    RESIGNATION.  In the event of Officer's
Resignation, as defined in Section 5.1.6, Officer shall be entitled to payment
of Officer's base salary through the

                                       5

Termination Date, to any accrued but unpaid vacation benefits, and to any other
Vested Benefits, but to no other payments or benefits whatsoever.

                           5.2.7    CHANGE IN CONTROL.  As used herein, a
"Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if any person or entity
other than IndyMac Bank Corp., Inc. becomes the beneficial owner, as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of more than 50% of the combined voting power
of the outstanding stock of Employer, or acquires all or substantially all of
the assets of Employer.

                           If a Change in Control should occur during the term
of this Agreement, and should Officer's employment be terminated within one (1)
year following the Change in Control (i) by reason of Officer's Disability or
Death, or (ii) either for No Cause or because this Agreement expires and is not
renewed by Employer or its successor on terms that are substantially comparable
to the terms of this Agreement, then all outstanding stock options or similar
awards previously granted to Officer under Section 4.3 that have not already
vested shall vest on the Termination Date.

                           If a Change in Control should occur during the term
of this Agreement, and should Officer's employment continue without termination
beyond the first anniversary of the Change in Control, then all outstanding
stock options or similar awards previously granted to Officer under Section 4.3
that have not already vested shall vest upon the first anniversary of the Change
in Control.

                           If a Change in Control should occur during the term
of this Agreement, and should Officer's employment be terminated within two (2)
years following the Change in Control either for No Cause or because this
Agreement expires and is not renewed by Employer or its successor on terms that
are substantially comparable to the terms of this Agreement, then Officer shall
be entitled, in addition to the foregoing and in lieu of any other benefits
described elsewhere in this Agreement, to (i) any accrued but unpaid vacation
benefits, (ii) any other Vested Benefits, (iii) payment of Officer's base salary
through the Termination Date, (iv) continuation of Officer's base salary,
increased by 100%, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination
Date, (v) Officer's incentive compensation award, without proration, for the
year in which Officer was terminated, also increased by 100%, (vi) the
additional benefit described in Section 5.2.9, if allowed by law, and (vii)
continuation, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date,
of benefits substantially equivalent to the life, disability and medical
insurance policies maintained by Employer on behalf of Officer and Officer's
spouse and dependents, if any, immediately prior to the Notice of Termination,
but only to the extent that Officer is not entitled to comparable benefits from
other employment.

                           5.2.8    OTHER EMPLOYMENT.  Employer's obligation to
pay salary continuation benefits to Officer in the event of Officer's
termination for Disability, Poor Performance or No Cause shall immediately cease
in the event that Officer obtains employment for compensation (whether as an
employee, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise) with any person or
entity.

                           5.2.9    EXCISE TAX.  In the event it should be
determined that any payment or distribution by Employer as the result of
Officer's termination due to Poor Performance or No

                                       6
<PAGE>

Cause would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code, the affected payments or distributions shall include gross-up for
any excise taxes due under Section 280G of the Code or similar "golden
parachute" provisions, plus any excise, income, or payroll taxes owed on the
excise payment amount. In order to be eligible for this benefit, Officer must
have had more than five (5) years of continuous service to Employer or its
affiliates as of the Termination Date, or must be a Section 16 Employee. If the
law prohibits any form of the foregoing benefit, then Employer and Officer
understand and agree that this Section 5.2.9 is of no effect.

                           5.2.10   RELEASE OF CLAIMS.  Employer's obligation to
pay any salary continuation, benefits continuation or other non-vested benefits
in the event of the termination of Officer's employment due to Disability, Poor
Performance or No Cause, as defined in Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.4 and 5.1.5, is
expressly conditional upon Officer first executing a general release of all
claims or causes of action, whether known or unknown, that Officer may have or
hold against Employer including, but not limited to, any claims for breach of
contract, for employment discrimination or harassment, for wrongful termination
or for other tortious conduct in connection with Officer's employment or its
termination. Such release agreement shall be prepared by Employer, and shall
include an express waiver by Officer of California Civil Code section 1542.

         6.       NO SOLICITATION, NON-COMPETITION AND CONFIDENTIALITY. In order
to receive and retain the salary continuation, benefits continuation or other
non-vested benefits payable to Officer in the event of termination by reason of
Disability, Poor Performance or No Cause, as defined in Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.4
and 5.1.5, Officer agrees to the following:

                  6.1      NON-COMPETITION. During employment and for a period
of one (1) year after termination of employment, Officer shall not engage in any
business, whether as an employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent,
representative or stock holder (other than as a holder of less than one percent
(1%) equity interest), or in any other corporate or representative capacity,
with any other business that is engaged in any activity that competes with the
business of Employer or its affiliates, as conducted as of the date of the
termination of Officer's employment.

                  6.2      NO SOLICITATION. During employment and for a period
of one (1) year after termination of employment, Officer shall not:

                           6.2.1    Solicit, or cause to be solicited, any
customers of Employer or its affiliates for purposes of promoting or selling any
products or services competitive with those of Employer or its affiliates;

                           6.2.2    Solicit business from, or perform services
for, any company or other business entity which at any time during the two (2)
year period immediately preceding Officer's termination of employment with
Employer was a client of Employer or its affiliates; or

                           6.2.3    Solicit for employment, offer, or cause to
be offered employment, either on a full time, part-time or consulting basis, to
any person who was employed by

                                       7
<PAGE>

Employer or its affiliates on the date Officer's employment terminated, unless
Officer shall have received the prior written consent of Employer.

                  6.3      CONFIDENTIALITY. Officer hereby acknowledges and
agrees that Employer and its affiliates have developed and own valuable
information related to their business, personnel and customers including, but
not limited to, concepts, ideas, customer lists, business lists, business and
strategic plans, financial data, accounting procedures, secondary marketing and
hedging models, trade secrets, computer programs and plans, and information
related to officers, directors, employees and agents. Officer hereby agrees that
all such information, and all codes, concepts, copies and forms relating to such
information, Employer's plans and intentions with respect thereto, and any
information provided by Employer or its affiliates to Officer with respect to
any of the foregoing, shall be considered "Confidential Information" for the
purpose of this Agreement. Officer acknowledges and agrees that all such
Confidential Information is a valuable asset of Employer, and if developed by
Officer, is developed by Officer in the course of Officer's employment with
Employer, and is the sole property of Employer. Officer agrees that Officer will
not divulge or otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential
Information concerning the business or policies of Employer or any of its
affiliates which Officer may have learned as a result of Officer's employment
during the term of this Agreement or prior thereto as an employee, officer or
director of or consultant to Employer or any of its affiliates, except to the
extent such use or disclosure is (i) necessary or appropriate to the performance
of this Agreement and in furtherance of Employer's best interests, (ii) required
by applicable law or in response to a lawful inquiry from a governmental or
regulatory authority, (iii) lawfully obtainable from other sources, or (iv)
authorized by Employer.

                  6.4      REIMBURSEMENT. If any part of this Section 6 is
challenged by Officer and is determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any
reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, then Officer and Employer agree
that these covenants shall be of no effect, that Officer shall immediately
return to Employer the salary continuation, benefits continuation or other
non-vested compensation described in Section 5.2 that has been paid to Officer
after termination of Officer's employment, and that Officer shall not be
entitled to any further sums from Employer.

         7.       REIMBURSEMENT OF BUSINESS EXPENSES. During the term of this
Agreement, Employer shall promptly reimburse to Officer all business expenses
reasonably incurred by Officer in the performance of Officer's duties under this
Agreement to the extent that such expenditures meet Internal Revenue Code
requirements for deductibility by Employer for federal income tax purposes, or
are otherwise in compliance with the rules and policies of Employer and are
substantiated by Officer in accordance with applicable requirements of the Code
and Treasury Regulations, and the applicable rules and policies of Employer.

         8.       INDEMNITY. To the extent permitted by applicable law and by
Employer's articles, bylaws or other governing instruments, Employer shall
defend and indemnify Officer and hold Officer harmless for any acts or decisions
made by Officer in good faith and while performing approved services for
Employer or its affiliates, and Employer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain
coverage for Officer under liability insurance policies then in effect which
cover the other officers or directors of Employer.

         9.       MISCELLANEOUS.

                  9.1      NOTICE OF TERMINATION AND TERMINATION DATE. Any
termination of this Agreement by Employer or by Officer (including any
Resignation) shall be communicated by a written Notice of Termination to the
other party, stating the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied
upon, if any, and setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances, if applicable, claimed to provide a basis for termination. The
effective date of termination ("Termination Date") shall be (i) the date
specified in the Notice of Termination, or (ii) in the event of Officer's Death,
the date of Death, or (iii) in the event of Officer's resignation without
providing Notice of Termination, Officer's last day of employment, or (iv) in
the event of a Change in Control, either the date specified in the Notice of
Termination or the last day of the term of this Agreement should same not be
renewed on substantially comparable terms within two (2) years following the
Change in Control.

                  9.2      SUCCESSORSHIP. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and shall be binding upon Employer, its successors and assigns. This
Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the parties,
other than in connection with a merger or sale of Employer or the sale of
substantially all the assets of Employer, or similar transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer may, without Officer's consent, assign,
whether by assignment agreement, merger, operation of law or otherwise, this
Agreement to the Public Company or to any successor or affiliate of Employer or
the Public Company, subject to such assignee's express assumption of all
obligations of Employer hereunder. The failure of any successor to or assignee
of the Employer's business and/or assets in such transaction to expressly assume
all obligations of Employer hereunder shall be deemed a termination for No
Cause, pursuant to Section 5.1.5.

                  9.3      NOTICES. Any notices provided for in this Agreement
shall be sent to Employer at its corporate headquarters, Attention: General
Counsel, with a copy to the Human Resources department at the same address, or
to such other address as Employer may from time to time in writing designate,
and to Officer at such address as Officer may from time to time in writing
designate (or Officer's business address of record in the absence of such
designation). All notices shall be deemed to have been given two (2) business
days after they have been deposited as certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage paid and properly addressed to the designated address of the party to
receive the notices.

                  9.4      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This instrument contains the entire
agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and it replaces
and supersedes any prior agreements between the parties relating to said subject
matter; provided, however, that all provisions of Employer's Employee Handbook
and any other written personnel policies of Employer shall be incorporated
herein by this reference, and Officer hereby expressly acknowledges that all
provisions of the Employee Handbook and other written policies are applicable to
Officer's employment relationship with Employer, except to the extent that any
such provisions directly conflict with any term contained in this Agreement;
PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT OFFICER HEREBY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT OFFICER HAS
EXECUTED EMPLOYER'S STANDARD MUTUAL AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS CONCURRENTLY
HEREWITH, WHICH REQUIRES THAT ANY DISPUTE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
ARBITRATED. No modifications or amendments of this Agreement shall be valid
unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

                  9.5      WAIVER. The waiver of the breach of any term or of
any condition of this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute the waiver of
any other breach of the same or any other term or condition.

                  9.6      CALIFORNIA LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of California, without reference to its
conflict of laws principles.

                  9.7      INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Employer and Officer acknowledge
that the services Officer is obligated to render under the provisions of this
Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual
character, which gives this Agreement peculiar value to Employer. The loss of
these services cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an
action at law and it would be difficult (if not impossible) to replace these
services. By reason thereof, if either party violates any of the material
provisions of this Agreement, the parties shall, in addition to any other rights
and remedies available under this Agreement, or under applicable law or the
Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate Claims, be entitled to seek injunctive relief, as
permitted by law, from a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction,
restraining the other from committing or continuing any violation of this
Agreement. The provisions hereof shall survive the expiration, suspension or
termination, for any reason, of this Agreement.

                  9.8      SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is
=held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and if any provision is held
invalid or unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other circumstances.

                  9.9      REGULATORY INTERVENTION. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement is subject to the following terms
and conditions:

                           9.9.1    If Officer is suspended and/or temporarily
prohibited from participating in the conduct of Employer's affairs by a notice
served under Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
U.S.C. 1818 (e)(3) and (g)(1)), Employer's obligations hereunder shall be
suspended as of the date of service unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If
the charges in the notice are dismissed, Employer shall (i) pay Officer all or
part of the compensation withheld while Employer's contract obligations were
suspended, and (ii) reinstate any of Employer's obligations which were
suspended.

                           9.9.2    If Officer is removed and/or permanently
prohibited from participating in the conduct of Employer's affairs by an order
issued under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
U.S.C. 1818 (e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of Employer under this Agreement
shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but Officer's vested
rights shall not be affected.

                           9.9.3    If Employer is in default (as defined in
Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1813 (x)(1)),
all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default,
but Officer's vested rights shall not be affected.

                           9.9.4    All obligations under this Agreement shall
be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of the contract
is necessary for the continued operation of Employer, (i) by the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") at the time the Federal Deposit

Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") enters into an agreement to provide assistance to
or on behalf of Employer under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1823 (c)); or (ii) by the OTS at the
time the OTS approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to
operation of Employer or when Employer is determined by the OTS to be in an
unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of Officer that shall have vested under
this Agreement shall not be affected by such action.

                           9.9.5    With regard to the provisions of this
Section 9.9:

                                    (i)     Employer agrees to use its best
efforts to oppose any such notice of charges as to which there are reasonable
defenses;

                                    (ii)    In the event the notice of charges
is dismissed or otherwise resolved in a manner that will permit Employer to
resume its obligations to pay compensation hereunder, Employer will promptly
make such payment hereunder; and

                                    (iii)   During the period of suspension, the
vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected except to the
extent precluded by such notice.

                           9.9.6    Any payments made to Officer by Employer
pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon
their compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated
thereunder.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") has been executed as of July 1, 2001
by and between IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. ("Employer") and Charles Holroyd
("Officer").

                                   WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Employer desires to obtain the benefit of continued services of Officer
and Officer desires to continue to render services to Employer and its
affiliates.

WHEREAS, Employer and Officer desire to set forth the terms and conditions of
Officer's employment with Employer and its affiliates under this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.       TERM. Employer agrees to employ Officer and Officer agrees to serve
         Employer and its affiliates, in accordance with the terms hereof, for a
         term beginning on the date first written above and ending on December
         31, 2004, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions
         hereof.

2.       POSITION, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Employer and Officer hereby
         agree that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Employer will
         employ Officer and Officer will serve Employer, as an Executive Vice
         President of Employer, or its affiliated companies, as determined by
         Employer. Affiliated companies shall include, without limitation, any
         direct or indirect subsidiary of Employer in which Employer holds less
         than 100% but at least a majority of the beneficial interest and voting
         control (a "New Public Company"). Employer agrees that Officer's duties
         hereunder shall be the usual and customary duties of such office and
         such further duties shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of
         applicable law. Officer agrees that Employer may add to or change
         Officer's duties as business considerations dictate, provided such
         changes are consistent with an Executive Vice President position of
         Employer as determined by the Chief Executive Officer of Employer.
         Officer shall have such official power and authority as shall
         reasonably be required to enable him to discharge his duties in the
         offices which he may hold. All compensation paid to Officer by Employer
         or any of its affiliates shall be aggregated in determining whether
         Officer has received the benefits provided for herein, but without
         prejudice to the allocation of costs among the entities to which
         Officer renders services hereunder.

3.       SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND OUTSIDE AFFILIATIONS. During the term of
         this Agreement, Officer shall devote his full business time and energy,
         except as expressly provided below, to the business, affairs and
         interests of Employer and its affiliates, and matters related thereto,
         and shall use his best efforts and abilities to promote their
         respective interests. Officer agrees that he will diligently endeavor
         to promote the business, affairs and interests of Employer and its
         affiliates and perform services contemplated hereby, in accordance with
         the policies established by the Board of

                                      -1-

<PAGE>

         Directors of the applicable entity, which policies shall be consistent
         with this Agreement. If so requested by Employer, Officer agrees to
         serve without additional remuneration as an officer of one or more
         (direct or indirect) subsidiaries, affiliates or successors of
         Employer, subject to appropriate authorization by the affiliate,
         subsidiary or successor involved and any limitation under applicable
         law.

         During the course of Officer's employment as a full-time officer
         hereunder, Officer shall not, without the consent of Employer, compete,
         directly or indirectly, with Employer in the business then conducted by
         Employer or any of its affiliates or successors.

         Officer may make and manage personal business investments of his choice
         and serve in any capacity with any civic, educational or charitable
         organization, or any governmental entity or trade association, without
         seeking or obtaining approval by the Board of Directors, provided such
         activities and services do not materially interfere or conflict with
         the performance of his duties hereunder.

4.       COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

         a.       BASE SALARY. Employer shall pay to Officer a base salary in
                  respect of the fiscal year of Employer (a "Fiscal Year")
                  ending December 31, 2001 at the annual rate as set forth on
                  Appendix A (the "Annual Rate"). In respect of the Fiscal Years
                  ending in 2002, 2003, and 2004, the Chief Executive Officer of
                  Employer may increase the Annual Rate. While any such increase
                  shall be at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, it
                  is anticipated that, for any Fiscal Year, if Employer obtains
                  its earnings per share goal and the Officer receives a
                  performance rating of "meets expectations consistently," the
                  Annual Rate would possibly be increased between 0% and 10%.
                  During the term of this Agreement, Employer may not decrease
                  the Annual Rate below the amount set forth in Appendix A.

         b.       INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. Employer shall pay to Officer for each
                  of the Fiscal Years ending during the term of this Agreement
                  an incentive compensation award in an amount determined
                  pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan attached hereto as
                  Appendix A. The terms of the Annual Incentive Plan shall be
                  determined in the first quarter of each Fiscal year during the
                  term of this Agreement, as mutually agreed upon by Employer
                  and Officer. If a new annual incentive plan is not executed by
                  Employer and Officer for any reason by the end of the first
                  quarter of the Fiscal Year (or within 90 days of the date of
                  this Agreement for the year 2001), then the maximum incentive
                  compensation award for the new Fiscal Year shall be deemed set
                  at 25% of Officer's base salary. In order to be eligible for
                  the incentive compensation award, Officer must still be
                  employed as of March 31st of the Fiscal Year following the
                  relevant Fiscal Year. The incentive compensation award payable
                  to Officer for any Fiscal Year shall be paid no later than
                  thirty (30) days after completion and publication of the
                  applicable audited financial statements for such Fiscal Year.

                                        2

<PAGE>

         c.       GUARANTEED MINIMUM ANNUAL COMPENSATION. For each of the Fiscal
                  Years ending during the term of this Agreement, Officer shall
                  receive a guaranteed minimum annual cash compensation equal to
                  125% of the base salary, the components of which shall include
                  his base salary for such Fiscal Year and any incentive
                  compensation award applicable to such Fiscal Year, provided
                  Officer is still employed by Employer as of March 31 of the
                  following Fiscal Year.

         d.       STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK. Beginning with the 2001
                  Fiscal Year and in respect of each of the following Fiscal
                  Years during the term of this Agreement, Employer's public
                  company affiliate, IndyMac Bancorp, Inc., or any successor
                  public company ("Public Company"), may grant to Officer stock
                  options and/or restricted stock for such number of shares of
                  the Public Company's common stock as the Compensation
                  Committee of the Board of Directors of the Public Company
                  ("Compensation Committee") in its sole discretion determines,
                  taking into account Officer's and the Public Company's
                  performance and the competitive practices then prevailing
                  regarding the granting of stock options. Subject to the
                  foregoing, it is anticipated that the number of shares in
                  respect of each annual stock option and/or restricted stock
                  grant shall be in accordance with the number of shares granted
                  to officers of Employer at a level similar to Officer's level.
                  The stock options and/or restricted stock described in this
                  Section 4(d) in respect of a Fiscal Year shall be granted at
                  the same time as the Public Company grants stock options
                  and/or restricted stock to its other officers in respect of
                  such Fiscal Year.

                  Officer agrees that any stock options or restricted stock
                  granted to him under his prior Employment Agreement(s), or
                  granted separate from any such Employment Agreement(s), shall
                  be subject to the terms of the 2000 Stock Option Plan except
                  as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.

                  All stock options and restricted stock granted in accordance
                  with this Section 4(d): (i) shall be granted pursuant to the
                  Public Company's current stock option plan, or such other
                  stock option plan or plans as may be or come into effect
                  during the term of this Agreement, (ii) shall be priced and
                  vest in accordance with the terms set by the Compensation
                  Committee, (iii) shall be subject to such other reasonable
                  terms and conditions as may be determined by the Compensation
                  Committee and set forth in the agreement or other document
                  evidencing the award, (iv) in the event that Officer's
                  employment is terminated due to death or Disability, shall, if
                  then unvested, become immediately and fully vested, (v) in the
                  event that Officer's employment is terminated through
                  resignation or by Employer for either Cause (as defined in
                  Section 5(c)) or Poor Performance (as defined in Section
                  5(d)), shall, if not then vested, immediately terminate, and
                  (vi) in the event that Officer's employment is terminated by
                  Employer other than for Cause (as defined in Section 5(e)),
                  shall, if not then vested, become immediately and fully vested
                  only to the extent that such restricted stock or stock options
                  would, under the terms of such restricted stock or stock
                  options, vest within one (1) year of such termination.

                                        3

<PAGE>

                  All stock options granted in accordance with this Section 4(d)
                  shall give Officer the right, upon termination of his
                  employment hereunder, other than for Cause or Poor Performance
                  (as defined in Section 5(e)), to exercise such options for a
                  period of between 3 months and 12 months after such
                  termination as provided hereinafter (but in no event later
                  than their expiration date). In the event the vested options
                  held by Officer immediately after such termination represent
                  shares of common stock in an amount equal to or greater than
                  500,000, then the maximum period for the exercise of any
                  options shall be 12 months. In the event the vested options
                  held by Officer immediately after such termination represent
                  shares of common stock in an amount equal to or greater than
                  100,000 but less than 500,000, then the maximum period for the
                  exercise of any options shall be 6 months. In the event the
                  vested options held by Officer immediately after such
                  termination represent shares of common stock in an amount less
                  than 100,000, then the maximum period for their exercise shall
                  be 3 months.

                  If the Board of Directors of Employer determines, in its sole
                  and absolute discretion, that Officer is exhibiting "Poor
                  Performance," as described in Section 5(d), but there is not a
                  resulting termination of Officer's employment, the
                  Compensation Committee may, in its sole and absolute
                  discretion, cancel any outstanding, but unvested stock options
                  or restricted stock that were previously granted to Officer.

                  In the event that a New Public Company is formed and Officer
                  is assigned by the Chief Executive Officer to be employed by
                  that New Public Company, if such New Public Company is traded
                  on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ, then, in the
                  discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, up to 50% of the
                  not-yet-vested stock options and restricted stock of Officer
                  (whether previously granted hereunder or otherwise) may be
                  terminated and replaced with such alternate incentive
                  compensation (which may include stock options and/or
                  restricted stock of the New Public Company) as the Chief
                  Executive Officer may determine in his sole and absolute
                  discretion, provided such replacement compensation is
                  equivalent to the value of the replaced stock options and
                  restricted stock. Such alternate incentive compensation may be
                  granted on such terms and conditions as determined by the
                  Chief Executive Officer, which terms and conditions may differ
                  from those in this Agreement for comparable compensation,
                  provided such terms and conditions provide an equivalent value
                  to the replaced compensation. The Company shall select and
                  retain a nationally recognized firm to determine the value of
                  the stock options and restricted stock to be replaced and the
                  value of the replacement compensation, and such firm's final
                  valuation shall be accepted by both parties.

         e.       ADDITIONAL BENEFITS. Officer shall also be entitled to all
                  rights and benefits for which he is otherwise eligible under
                  any bonus plan, stock purchase plan, participation or extra
                  compensation plan, executive compensation plan, pension plan,
                  profit-sharing plan, deferred compensation plan, life and
                  medical

                  insurance policy, or other plans or benefits, which Employer
                  or its subsidiaries may provide for him, or provided he is
                  eligible to participate therein, for senior officers generally
                  or for employees generally, during the term of this Agreement
                  (collectively, "Additional Benefits"). Officer shall also be
                  entitled to three (3) weeks of vacation each Fiscal Year,
                  subject to all applicable policies of Employer relating to
                  vacation time. This Agreement shall not affect the provision
                  of any other compensation, retirement or other benefit program
                  or plan of Employer. If Officer's employment is terminated
                  hereunder, pursuant to Section 5(a), 5(b) or 5(e), Employer
                  shall continue for the period specified in Section 5(a), 5(b)
                  or 5(e) hereof, to provide benefits substantially equivalent
                  to the life, disability and medical insurance policies on
                  behalf of Officer and his dependents and beneficiaries which
                  were being provided to them immediately prior to Officer's
                  Termination Date, but only to the extent that Officer is not
                  entitled to comparable benefits from other employment.

5.       TERMINATION. The compensation and benefits provided for herein and the
         employment of Officer by Employer shall be terminated only as provided
         for below in this Section 5:

         a.       DISABILITY. In the event that Officer shall fail (with or
                  without reasonable accommodation), because of illness, injury
                  or similar incapacity ("Disability"), to render for four (4)
                  consecutive calendar months, or for shorter periods
                  aggregating eighty (80) or more business days in any twelve
                  (12) month period, services contemplated by this Agreement,
                  Officer's full-time employment hereunder may be terminated, by
                  written Notice of Termination from Employer to Officer; and
                  thereafter, Employer shall continue, from the Termination Date
                  until Officer's death or December 31, 2003, whichever first
                  occurs (the "Disability Payment Period"), (i) to pay
                  compensation to Officer, in the same manner as in effect
                  immediately prior to the Termination Date, in an amount equal
                  to (1) fifty percent (50%) of the then existing base salary
                  payable immediately prior to the termination, minus (2) the
                  amount of any cash payments due to him under the terms of
                  Employer's disability insurance or other disability benefit
                  plans (which are paid for by Employer) or Employer's
                  tax-qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan, and any
                  compensation he may receive pursuant to any other employment,
                  and (ii) to provide during the Disability Payment Period the
                  additional benefits specified in the last sentence of Section
                  4(e) hereof. To the extent not otherwise vested, all
                  outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted to
                  Officer pursuant to Section 4(d) will vest upon his
                  termination because of Disability.

                  The determination of Disability shall be made only after 30
                  days' notice to Officer (which may run concurrently with the
                  Notice of Termination). In order to determine Disability, both
                  Employer and Officer shall have the right to provide medical
                  evidence to support their respective positions, with the
                  ultimate decision regarding Disability to be made by a
                  majority of the members of Employer's Benefits Committee.

                                        5

         b.       DEATH. In the event that Officer shall die during the term of
                  this Agreement, Employer shall pay to such person or persons
                  as Officer shall have directed in writing or, in the absence
                  of a designation, to his estate (the "Beneficiary") an amount
                  equal to two times the guaranteed annual compensation as
                  defined in Section 4(c). Such payment shall be made within 45
                  days of the death of Officer. Employer shall also provide
                  during the twelve-month period following the date of Officer's
                  death the additional benefits specified in the last sentence
                  of Section 4(e) hereof. If Officer's death occurs while he is
                  receiving payments for Disability under Section 5(a) above,
                  such payments shall cease and the Beneficiary shall be
                  entitled to the payments and benefits under this Section 5(b).
                  This Agreement in all other respects will terminate upon the
                  death of Officer; provided, however, that (i) the termination
                  of the Agreement shall not affect Officer's entitlement to all
                  other benefits in which he has become vested or which are
                  otherwise payable in respect of periods ending prior to its
                  termination, and (ii) to the extent not otherwise vested, all
                  outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted to
                  Officer pursuant to Section 4(d) will vest upon his death.

         c.       CAUSE. Employer may terminate Officer's employment under this
                  Agreement for "Cause." A termination for Cause is a
                  termination by reason of (i) a material breach of this
                  Agreement by Officer (other than as a result of incapacity due
                  to physical or mental illness) which is committed in bad faith
                  or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best
                  interests of Employer, (ii) Officer's breach of the terms of
                  any promissory note executed by the Officer for any loan to
                  the Officer made by Employer pursuant to the Employer's Loan
                  Plan, including a failure to meet a margin call (iii) an act
                  or omission to act by the Officer involving (a) negligence or
                  misconduct resulting in a material loss or material loss in
                  revenue (material to be determined in the sole discretion of
                  the CEO) (negligence or misconduct shall include, but not be
                  limited to, the failure to properly supervise staff, the
                  failure to establish, maintain and enforce proper written
                  policies and procedures, and the failure to properly staff and
                  train to ensure the proper and consistent enforcement of
                  policies and procedures), (b) gross negligence, (c) gross
                  misconduct with respect to or intentional failure to perform
                  Officer's stated duties, (d) commission of a fraud, theft,
                  dishonesty, or any knowing or deliberate action or inaction in
                  contravention of a direct order from the Officer's direct
                  supervisor which is within the scope of this Agreement and
                  does not involve the performance of an illegal act or omission
                  to act, (iv) Officer's willful violation of any law, rule or
                  regulation of a governmental ---- authority (other than
                  traffic violations or similar offenses) or final
                  cease-and-desist order, or (v) entry of an --- order duly
                  issued by any federal or state regulatory agency having
                  jurisdiction in the matter removing Officer from office of
                  Employer or its affiliates or permanently prohibiting him from
                  participation in the conduct of the affairs of Employer of any
                  of its affiliates. If Officer shall be convicted of a felony
                  or misdemeanor carrying a jail term, or shall be removed from
                  office and/or suspended or temporarily prohibited from
                  participating in the conduct

                                        6

                  of Employer's or any of its affiliates' affairs by any federal
                  or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction in the
                  matter, Employer's obligations under Sections 4(a), 4(b),
                  4(c), and 4(d) hereof shall be automatically suspended;
                  provided, however, that if the charges resulting in such
                  removal or prohibition are finally dismissed or if a final
                  judgment on the merits of such charges is issued in favor of
                  Officer, or if the conviction is overturned on appeal, then
                  Officer shall be reinstated in full with back pay for the
                  removal period plus accrued interest at the rate then payable
                  on judgments. During the period that Employer's obligations
                  under Sections 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), and 4(d) hereof are
                  suspended, Officer shall continue to be entitled to receive
                  Additional Benefits under Section 4(e) until the conviction of
                  the felony, or misdemeanor carrying a jail term, or removal
                  from office has become final and non-appealable. When the
                  conviction of the felony or removal from office has become
                  final and non-appealable, all of Employer's obligations
                  hereunder shall terminate; provided, however, that the
                  termination of Officer's employment pursuant to this Section
                  5(c) shall not affect Officer's entitlement to all benefits in
                  which he has become vested or which are otherwise payable in
                  respect of periods ending prior to his termination of
                  employment. Following a termination for Cause, Officer shall
                  be entitled to payment of his base salary through his last day
                  of employment, and any accrued vacation pay, but no other
                  payments or benefits hereunder or otherwise whatsoever.

         d.       POOR PERFORMANCE. Employer may terminate Officer's employment
                  under this Agreement for "Poor Performance." Poor Performance
                  is a failure of the Officer to properly meet the duties and
                  responsibilities of his position in a competent fashion, as
                  determined by the Chief Executive Officer. Following a
                  termination for Poor Performance, the Officer shall be
                  entitled to payment of his base salary through his last day of
                  employment, and, within 30 days after such last day, a single
                  payment in an amount equal to the guaranteed minimum annual
                  compensation as defined in Section 4(c), but no other payments
                  or benefits hereunder or otherwise whatsoever, subject to the
                  terms of Section 5(e)(iii).

         e.       TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE OR POOR PERFORMANCE.

                  (i)      Except as provided in Section 5(e)(ii) below, if
                           during the term of this Agreement, Officer's
                           employment shall be terminated by Employer other than
                           for Cause or Poor Performance, then Officer shall be
                           entitled to:

                           (1)      payment of his base salary through his last
                                    day of employment, but no payment on account
                                    of any further incentive compensation
                                    hereunder, and

                           (2)      within 30 days after such last day, a single
                                    payment in an amount equal to an amount in
                                    cash equal to two times the guaranteed
                                    minimum annual compensation as defined in

                                        7

<PAGE>

                                    Section 4(c); provided, however, if such
                                    termination shall occur within two (2) years
                                    after a change in control, as declared by
                                    the Board of Directors, and during the term
                                    of this Agreement, then such payment shall
                                    be in an amount equal to an amount in cash
                                    equal to two (2) times Officer's total
                                    compensation (base salary plus bonus) for
                                    the Fiscal Year proceeding such termination,
                                    and

                           (3)      for a period of one year following such last
                                    day, the benefits specified in the last
                                    sentence of Section 4(e) hereof.

                  (ii)     Not withstanding anything in this Agreement to the
                           contrary, in the event it shall be determined that
                           any payment or distribution by Employer or any other
                           person or entity to or for the benefit of Officer
                           (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the
                           Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
                           "Code")), whether paid or payable or distributed or
                           distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
                           or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of,
                           his employment with Employer or a change in ownership
                           or effective control of Employer or a substantial
                           portion of its assets (a "Payment"), would be subject
                           to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
                           (the "Excise Tax"), the Payments shall include
                           gross-up for any excise taxes due under IRC 280G or
                           similar "golden parachute" provisions plus any
                           excise, income, or payroll taxes owed on the payment
                           on the excise payment amount.

                  (iii)    In order to receive the amounts provided by Sections
                           5(d) or 5(e), other than Base Salary through the last
                           day of employment, Officer agrees that for a period
                           of one year after termination of employment either
                           for Poor Performance or other than for Cause, Officer
                           shall not engage in any business, whether as an
                           employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent,
                           representative or stockholder (other than as a
                           stockholder of less than 1% equity interest) or in
                           any other corporate or representative capacity with
                           any other business whether in corporate,
                           proprietorship, or partnership form or otherwise,
                           where such business is engaged in any activity which
                           competes with the business of Employer or its
                           subsidiaries or affiliates, as conducted on the date
                           Officer's employment terminated or which will compete
                           with any proposed business activity of Employer or
                           its subsidiaries or affiliates, in the planning stage
                           on such date.

                           If the foregoing agreement is determined invalid or
                           unenforceable by a Court in an interpretation of this
                           Agreement, then Officer agrees that he shall return
                           the amounts received pursuant to Sections 5(d) and
                           5(e), other than the Base Salary through the last day
                           of employment.

         f.       RESIGNATION. If during the term of this Agreement, Officer
                  shall resign voluntarily, Officer shall be entitled to payment
                  of his base salary through his

                                        8

<PAGE>

                  last day of employment, but all other rights to payment or
                  benefits hereunder shall immediately terminate; provided,
                  however, that the termination of Officer's employment pursuant
                  to this Section 5(f) shall not affect Officer's entitlement to
                  all benefits in which he has become vested or which are
                  otherwise payable in respect of periods ending prior to his
                  termination of employment, and all obligations of Officer
                  under Sections 9(f) and 9(j) shall expressly survive such
                  termination. If Officer resigns as a result of a material
                  breach by Employer, which breach is not cured by Employer
                  within 30 days' receipt of written notice, then Officer's
                  resignation will be considered as a Termination Other Than For
                  Cause pursuant to Section 5(e) for all purposes of this
                  Agreement.

         g.       NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any purported termination by Employer
                  or by Officer (including any resignation) shall be
                  communicated by a written Notice of Termination to the other
                  party hereto which indicates the specific termination
                  provision in this Agreement, if any, relied upon and which
                  sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances,
                  if any, claimed to provide a basis for termination of
                  Officer's employment under the provision so indicated. For
                  purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination
                  shall be effective without such Notice of Termination. The
                  "Termination Date" shall mean the date specified in the Notice
                  of Termination, which shall be no less than 30 or more than 60
                  days from the date of the Notice of Termination.
                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the
                  event of any termination of Officer's employment hereunder for
                  any reason, Employer shall pay Officer his full base salary
                  through the Termination Date, plus any Additional Benefits
                  which have been earned or become payable, but which have not
                  yet been paid, as of such Termination Date.

6.       LOCATION OF SERVICES. Officer is required to perform his services under
         this Agreement at such present or future business location of Company
         as may be designated by the Chief Executive Officer in the Counties of
         Los Angeles, Orange or Ventura, California or wherever the Corporate
         Headquarters of Employer may be located.

         a.       IN GENERAL. If Employer requests Officer to relocate outside
                  of the locations referenced above, Officer shall have the
                  option of agreeing to such relocation and the terms of this
                  Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If Officer
                  declines to relocate outside of the locations referenced
                  above, either the Officer or Employer shall provide the other
                  party with a Notice of Termination in accordance with Section
                  5(g) and the Officer will be deemed to have been terminated
                  pursuant to Section 5(e).

         b.       CHANGE IN CONTROL. For two years following a change in control
                  of the Company, as declared by the Board of Directors,
                  Employer may only require Officer to relocate within the three
                  counties identified above and only if such relocation is to
                  the Corporate Headquarters location of Employer. During this
                  time period, if Employer requests that Officer relocate
                  outside of the three counties identified above, or within the
                  three counties, but not to the Corporate

                                        9

<PAGE>

                  Headquarters location, Officer shall have the option of
                  agreeing to such relocation and the terms of this Agreement
                  shall continue in full force and effect. If Officer declines
                  to relocate outside of the locations referenced above, either
                  the Officer or Employer shall provide the other party with a
                  Notice of Termination in accordance with Section 5(g) and the
                  Officer will be deemed to have been terminated pursuant to
                  Section 5(e).

7.       REIMBURSEMENT OF BUSINESS EXPENSES. During the term of this Agreement,
         Employer shall reimburse Officer promptly for all business expenditures
         to the extent that such expenditures meet the requirements of the Code
         for deductibility by Employer for federal income tax purposes or are
         otherwise in compliance with the rules and policies of Employer and are
         substantiated by Officer as required by the Internal Revenue Service
         and rules and policies of Employer.

8.       INDEMNITY. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Certificate
         of Incorporation and the By-Laws of Employer (as from time to time in
         effect) and any indemnity agreements entered into from time to time
         between Employer and Officer, Employer shall defend and indemnify
         Officer and hold him harmless for any acts or decisions made by him in
         good faith while performing services for Employer (including any
         subsidiary or affiliate of Employer), and shall use reasonable efforts
         to obtain coverage for him under liability insurance policies now in
         force or hereafter obtained during the term of this Agreement covering
         the other officers or directors of Employer.

9.       MISCELLANEOUS.

         a.       SUCCESSORSHIP. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
                  and shall be binding upon Employer, its successors and
                  assigns, but without the prior written consent of Officer,
                  this Agreement may not be assigned other than in connection
                  with a merger or sale of Employer or the sale of substantially
                  all the assets of Employer or similar transaction.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer may assign, whether by
                  assignment agreement, merger, operation of law or otherwise,
                  this Agreement to the Public Company or to any successor or
                  affiliate of Employer or the Public Company, subject to such
                  assignee's express assumption of all obligations of Employer
                  hereunder. The failure of any successor to or assignee of the
                  Employer's business and/or assets in such transaction to
                  expressly assume all obligations of Employer hereunder shall
                  be deemed a Termination Other Than For Cause pursuant to
                  Section 5(e).

                  The obligations and duties of Officer hereby shall be personal
                  and not assignable.

         b.       NOTICES. Any notices provided for in this Agreement shall be
                  sent to Employer at its corporate headquarters, Attention:
                  General Counsel, with a copy to the Director of Human
                  Resources at the same address, or to such other address as
                  Employer may from time to time in writing designate, and to
                  Officer at such address as he may from time to time in writing
                  designate (or his business

                                       10

<PAGE>

                  address of record in the absence of such designation). All
                  notices shall be deemed to have been given two (2) business
                  days after they have been deposited as certified mail, return
                  receipt requested, postage paid and properly addressed to the
                  designated address of the party to receive the notices.

         c.       ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This instrument contains the entire
                  agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter
                  hereof, and it replaces and supersedes any prior agreements
                  between the parties relating to said subject matter; provided,
                  however, that all provisions of Employer's Employee Handbook
                  shall be incorporated herein by this reference and Officer
                  hereby expressly acknowledges that all provisions of the
                  Employee Handbook are applicable to his employment
                  relationship with Employer, except to the extent that any such
                  provisions directly conflict with any term contained in this
                  Agreement; provided, further, that Officer hereby expressly
                  acknowledges that Officer has executed Employer's standard
                  Arbitration Agreement which generally requires that any
                  dispute under this Agreement will be arbitrated. No
                  modifications or amendments of this Agreement shall be valid
                  unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

         d.       WAIVER. The waiver of the breach of any term or of any
                  condition of this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute
                  the waiver of any other breach of the same or any other term
                  or condition.

         e.       CALIFORNIA LAW. This Agreement shall be construed and
                  interpreted in accordance with the laws of California, without
                  reference to its conflicts of laws principles.

         f.       CONFIDENTIALITY. Officer hereby acknowledges and agrees that
                  Employer and its affiliates have developed and own valuable
                  information related to their business, personnel and
                  customers, including, but not limited to, concepts, ideas,
                  customer lists, business lists, business and strategic plans,
                  financial data, accounting procedures, secondary marketing and
                  hedging models, trade secrets, computer programs and plans,
                  and information related to officers, directors, employees and
                  agents. Officer hereby agrees that all such information, and
                  all codes, concepts, copies and forms relating to such
                  information, Employer's plans and intentions with respect
                  thereto, and any information provided by Employer or its
                  affiliates to Officer with respect to any of the foregoing,
                  shall be considered "Confidential Information" for the purpose
                  of this Agreement. Officer acknowledges and agrees that all
                  such Confidential Information is a valuable asset of Employer,
                  and if developed by Officer, is developed by Officer in the
                  course of Officer's employment with Employer, and is the sole
                  property of Employer. Officer agrees that he will not divulge
                  or otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly, any
                  Confidential Information concerning the business or policies
                  of Employer or any of its affiliates which he may have learned
                  as a result of his employment during the term of this
                  Agreement or prior thereto as an employee, officer or director
                  of or consultant to Employer or any of its affiliates, except
                  to the extent such use or

                                       11

<PAGE>

                  disclosure is (i) necessary or appropriate to the performance
                  of this Agreement and in furtherance of Employer's best
                  interests, (ii) required by applicable law or in response to a
                  lawful inquiry from a governmental or regulatory authority,
                  (iii) lawfully obtainable from other sources, or (iv)
                  authorized by Employer. Furthermore, in order to protect the
                  trade secret or confidential information of Employer, Officer
                  hereby agrees not to accept any employment or engage in any
                  activities competitive with the Employer for a period of one
                  year after termination of employment if the loyal and complete
                  fulfillment of the duties of the competitive employment or
                  activities would inherently call upon Officer to reveal or use
                  any of the trade secret or Confidential Information of
                  Employer to which Officer had access during employment by
                  Employer. The provisions of this subsection shall survive the
                  expiration, suspension or termination, for any reason, of this
                  Agreement.

         g.       REMEDIES OF EMPLOYER. Officer acknowledges that the services
                  he is obligated to render under the provisions of this
                  Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and
                  intellectual character, which gives this Agreement peculiar
                  value to Employer. The loss of these services cannot be
                  reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action
                  at law and it would be difficult (if not impossible) to
                  replace these services. By reason thereof, Officer agrees and
                  consents that if he violates any of the material provisions of
                  this Agreement, Employer, in addition to any other rights and
                  remedies available under this Agreement or under applicable
                  law, shall be entitled during the remainder of the term to
                  seek injunctive relief, from a tribunal of competent
                  jurisdiction, restraining Officer from committing or
                  continuing any violation of this Agreement. The provisions of
                  this subsection shall survive the expiration, suspension or
                  termination, for any reason, of this Agreement.

         h.       SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held
                  invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement
                  shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and if any
                  provision is held invalid or unenforceable with respect to
                  particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full
                  force and effect in all other circumstances.

         i.       NO OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE. Officer shall not be required to
                  mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this
                  Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and, except
                  as provided in Section 5(a) hereof, no payment hereunder shall
                  be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or
                  benefits provided to Officer in any subsequent employment.

<PAGE>

         j.       NO SOLICITATION.

                  (i) IN GENERAL. Officer agrees that during employment and for
                         a period of one year after termination of such
                         employment, Officer shall not:

                         (1)  Solicit, or cause to be solicited, any customers
                              of Employer for purposes of promoting or selling
                              any products or services competitive with those of
                              Employer;

                         (2)  Solicit business from, or perform services for,
                              any company or other business entity which at any
                              time during the two year period immediately
                              preceding Officer's termination of employment with
                              Employer was a client of Employer, or its
                              subsidiaries or affiliates; or

                         (3)  Solicit for employment, offer, or cause to be
                              offered, employment, either on a full time, part
                              time, or consulting basis, to any person who was
                              employed by Employer or its subsidiaries or
                              affiliates on the date Officer's employment
                              terminated, unless Officer shall have received the
                              prior written consent of Employer.

                  (ii)   CONSIDERATION. The consideration for the foregoing
                         covenants, the sufficiency of which is hereby
                         acknowledged, is Employer's agreement to continue to
                         employ Officer and provide compensation and benefits
                         pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited
                         to Section 5 (d), (e), and (f).

                  (iii)  EQUITABLE RELIEF AND OTHER REMEDIES. Officer
                         acknowledges and agrees that Employer's remedies at
                         law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the
                         provisions of this Section would be inadequate and,
                         in recognition of this fact, Officer agrees that, in
                         the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in
                         addition to any remedies at law, Employer, without
                         posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
                         equitable relief in the form of specific performance,
                         a temporary restraining order, a temporary or
                         permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy
                         which may then be available.

                  (iv)   REFORMATION. The foregoing No Solicitation provisions
                         are intended to restrict Officer only to the extent
                         permitted by law in the jurisdiction where Officer is
                         then a resident. To the extent the No Solicitation
                         Provisions would otherwise be determined invalid or
                         unenforceable by a Court of competent jurisdiction,
                         such Court shall exercise its discretion in reforming
                         the provisions of this Section to the end that Officer
                         shall be subject to reasonable no solicitation
                         provisions that are enforceable by Employer under the
                         laws of the jurisdiction where Officer is then a
                         resident. If the laws of the state where the Officer is
                         then a resident completely prohibit any form of the
                         foregoing

                         covenants, then Employer and Officer understand and
                         agree that the foregoing covenants are of no effect.

10.      REGULATORY INTERVENTION. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
         the contrary, this Agreement is subject to the following terms and
         conditions:

                  (i)      If Officer is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited
                           from participating in the conduct of Employer's
                           affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or
                           (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
                           U.S.C. 1818 (e)(3) and (g)(1)), Employer's
                           obligations hereunder shall be suspended as of the
                           date of service unless stayed by appropriate
                           proceedings. If the charges in the notice are
                           dismissed, Employer shall (x) pay Officer all or part
                           of the compensation withheld while Employer's
                           contract obligations were suspended, and (y)
                           reinstate any of Employer's obligations which were
                           suspended.

                  (ii)     If Officer is removed and/or permanently prohibited
                           from participating in the conduct of Employer's
                           affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or
                           (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
                           U.S.C. 1818 (e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of
                           Employer under this Agreement shall terminate as of
                           the effective date of the order, but vested rights of
                           the parties shall not be affected.

                  (iii)    If Employer is in default (as defined in Section
                           3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
                           U.S.C. 1813 (x)(1)), all obligations under this
                           Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default,
                           but any vested rights of Officer shall not be
                           affected.

                  (iv)     All obligations under this Agreement shall be
                           terminated, except to the extent determined that
                           continuation of the contract is necessary for the
                           continued operation of Employer, (x) by the Office of
                           Thrift Supervision ("OTS") at the time the Federal
                           Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") enters into an
                           agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of
                           Employer under the authority contained in Section
                           13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
                           1823 (c)); or (y) by the OTS at the time the OTS
                           approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems
                           related to operation of Employer or when Employer is
                           determined by the OTS to be in an unsafe or unsound
                           condition. Any rights of Officer that shall have
                           vested under this Agreement shall not be affected by
                           such action.

                  (v)      With regard to the provisions of this Section 10(i)
                           through (iv):

                       A.  Employer agrees to use its best efforts to oppose any
                           such notice of charges as to which there are
                           reasonable defenses;

                                       14

<PAGE>

                       B.  In the event the notice of charges is dismissed or
                           otherwise resolved in a manner that will permit
                           Employer to resume its obligations to pay
                           compensation hereunder, Employer will promptly make
                           such payment hereunder; and

                       C.  During the period of suspension, the vested rights of
                           the contracting parties shall not be affected except
                           to the extent precluded by such notice.

                  (vi)     Any payments made to Officer by Employer pursuant to
                           this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and
                           conditioned upon their compliance with 12 U.S.C.
                           1828(k) and any regulations promulgated there under.
