INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

(Amended and Restated Effective as of September 15, 2003)

HISTORY AND PURPOSE

     The IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. Deferred Compensation Plan was established
effective as of July 1, 1997 as the IndyMac, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan
and was assumed by IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. (“IndyMac Bank”), formerly known as
First Federal Savings and Loan Association of San Gabriel Valley (“First
Federal”) effective as of July 1, 2000 following IndyMac Bancorp, Inc.’s
(“IndyMac Bancorp”) (formerly known as INMC Mortgage Holdings, Inc.)
acquisition of SGV Bancorp, Inc., parent company of First Federal, to provide
specified benefits to a select group of management and highly compensated
employees and directors who contribute materially to the continued growth,
development, and future business success of IndyMac Bank and its affiliates.
Effective as of January 1, 2001, the INMC Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan was merged into this Plan and IndyMac Bancorp adopted the
Plan for the benefit of a select group of its employees and directors.
Effective as of September 15, 2003 (the “Restatement Date”), the Plan was
amended, restated, and continued in the form set forth below. Each
Participant’s Cash Account Balance on the Restatement Date will be substituted
for the Participant’s Account Balance immediately prior to the Restatement
Date, and each Participant’s Cash Deferral Account on the Restatement Date will
equal the Participant’s Deferral Account immediately prior to the Restatement
Date. This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I
of ERISA.

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

     For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the
context, the following phrases or terms shall have the following indicated
meanings:

	1.1	 	 “Annual Bonus” shall mean any annual cash compensation, in addition to
Base Annual Salary and Commissions, relating to services performed during
any calendar year, whether or not paid in such calendar year, payable to a
Participant under any Employer’s annual bonus and cash incentive plans.
	 
	1.2	 	 “Annual Cash Deferral Amount” shall mean that portion of a Participant’s
Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus, Commissions, and/or Directors Fees
payable in cash that a Participant elects to have, and is deferred, in
accordance with Article 3, for any one Plan Year, plus Dividends payable
on Stock Compensation that a Non-Employee Director elects to have, and is
deferred, in accordance with Article 3, for any one Plan Year, and
Dividends payable during any one Plan Year on Stock Units previously
credited to a Participant’s Stock Deferral Account. In the event of a
Participant’s Retirement, Disability (if deferrals cease in accordance
with Section 8.1), death or a Termination of Employment prior to the end
of a Plan Year, such year’s Annual Cash Deferral Amount shall be the
actual amount withheld prior to such event.

	1.3	 	 “Annual Company Matching Amount” shall mean, for any one Plan Year, the
amount determined in accordance with Section 3.5.
	 
	1.4	 	 “Annual Installment Method” shall mean equal annual installments, with
the first installment being paid within the time limits set forth in this
Plan for the various benefits available, and the next annual installment,
and all annual installments thereafter, being paid on December 31 of each
Plan Year or within a reasonable period of time thereafter. For example,
if a Participant Retires on June 30, 2001, and he or she elects the Annual
Installment Method, the first equal installment shall be payable no later
than 60 days after Retirement, the next equal installment shall be payable
on December 31, 2001, and each remaining equal installment shall be
payable on December 31 of each consecutive year.
	 
	1.5	 	“Annual Stock Deferral Amount” shall mean that portion of a Non-Employee

such allowances are included in the Employee’s gross income). Base Annual
Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily
deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified or
non-qualified plans of any Employer and shall be calculated to include
amounts not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under
Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans
established by any Employer; provided, however, that all such amounts will

WITHDRAWAL ELECTION

	4.1	 	 Short-Term Payout. In connection with each election to defer an Annual
Cash Deferral Amount or Annual Stock Deferral Amount, a Participant may
irrevocably elect to receive a future “Short-Term Payout” from the Plan
with respect to all of that Annual Cash Deferral Amount and/or Annual
Stock Deferral Amount. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the
Short-Term Payout shall be equal to the sum of the Annual Cash Deferral
Amount and the Annual Stock Deferral Amount elected to be paid as a
Short-Term Payout, plus amounts credited in the manner provided in Section
3.9 above on that amount. The Short-Term Payout amount shall be payable
in a lump sum. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Plan,
the lump sum payment shall be made, subject to the Deduction Limitation,

Participant; provided that no election shall be effective unless the Plan
Year elected is at least five Plan Years after the last day of the Plan

	 	 	Year to which the Annual Cash Deferral Amount and/or Annual Stock
Deferral Amount relates. By way of example, if a Short-Term Payout is
elected for amounts that are deferred in the Plan Year commencing January
1, 2001, the Short-Term Payout can become payable no earlier than the 60
day period commencing on January 1, 2006.

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

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

	4.4	 	 Withdrawal Election. A Participant (or, after a Participant’s death, his
or her Beneficiary) may elect, at any time, to withdraw all of his or her
Cash Account Balance or Stock Account Balance, calculated as if there had
occurred a Termination of Employment as of the day of the election, less a
withdrawal penalty equal to 10% of such amount (the net amount shall be
referred to as the “Withdrawal Amount”). This election can be made at any
time, before or after Retirement, Disability, death or Termination of
Employment, and whether or not the Participant (or Beneficiary) is in the
process of being paid pursuant to an installment payment schedule. If
made before Retirement, Disability or death, a Participant’s Withdrawal
Amount shall be the sum of his or her Cash Account Balance and Stock
Account Balance calculated as if there had occurred a Termination of
Employment as of the day of the election. No partial withdrawals of the
Withdrawal Amount shall be allowed. The Participant (or his or her
Beneficiary) shall make this election by giving the Committee advance
written notice of the election in a form determined from time to time by
the Committee. The Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall be paid
the Withdrawal Amount within 60 days of his or her election. Once the
Withdrawal Amount is paid, the Participant’s participation in the Plan
shall terminate and the Participant shall not be eligible to participate
in the Plan again during the remainder of that Plan Year and the next
three (3) Plan Years. The payment of this Withdrawal Amount shall not be
subject to the Deduction Limitation.

be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary (a) over the remaining number of
months and in the same amounts as that benefit would have been paid to the

Table of Contents

	 	 	 	to make any additional deferral elections, but will continue to be
considered a Participant for all other purposes of this Plan.
	 
	            	(b)	 	Return to Work. If a Participant returns to employment or
service as an Employee or Director, with any Employer after a
Disability ceases, the Participant may elect to defer an Annual Cash
Deferral Amount and an Annual Stock Deferral Amount for the Plan
Year following his or her return to employment or service and for
every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan; provided
such deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form
is delivered to and accepted by the Committee for each such election
in accordance with Section 3.3 above.

	8.2	 	 Continued Eligibility; Disability Benefit. A Participant suffering a
Disability shall, for benefit purposes under this Plan, continue to be
considered to be employed or in the service of an Employer as a Director,
and shall be eligible for the benefits provided for in Articles 4, 5, 6 or
7 in accordance with the provisions of those Articles. Notwithstanding
the above, the Committee shall have the right to, in its sole and absolute
discretion and for purposes of this Plan only, and must in the case of a
Participant who is otherwise eligible to Retire, deem the Participant to
have experienced a Termination of Employment, or in the case of a
Participant who is eligible to Retire, to have Retired, at any time (or in
the case of a Participant who is eligible to Retire, as soon as
practicable) after such Participant is determined to be suffering a
Disability, in which case the Participant shall receive a Disability
Benefit equal to the sum of his or her Cash Account Balance and Stock
Account Balance at the time of the Committee’s determination; provided,
however, that should the Participant otherwise have been eligible to
Retire, he or she shall be paid in accordance with Article 5. The
Disability Benefit shall be paid in a lump sum or, upon a Participant’s
request and in the Committee’s sole discretion, installment payments over
not more than 5 years. The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment
payments shall commence, within 60 days of the Committee’s exercise of its
right to deem a Participant to have experienced a Termination of
Employment. Any payment made shall be subject to the Deduction
Limitation.

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

	9.2	 	 Beneficiary Designation; Change; Spousal Consent. A Participant shall
designate his or her Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary

Table of Contents

	 	 	the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Committee’s rules
and procedures, as in effect from time to time. If the Participant names
someone other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, a spousal consent,
in the form designated by the Committee, must be signed by that
Participant’s spouse and returned to the Committee. Upon the acceptance
by the Committee of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary
designations previously filed shall be canceled. The Committee shall be
entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the
Participant and accepted by the Committee prior to his or her death.

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

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

	9.5	 	 Doubt as to Beneficiary. If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper
Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall

Employer to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the
Committee’s satisfaction.

	9.6	 	 Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a

such full payment of benefits.

the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be
considered employed by that Employer and the Annual Cash Deferral Amount
and Annual Stock Deferral Amount shall continue to be withheld during such
paid leave of absence in accordance with Section 3.3.

	10.2 	 	Unpaid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the
Participant’s Employer for any reason to take an unpaid leave of absence
from the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be
considered employed by that Employer and the Participant shall be excused
from making deferrals until the earlier of the date the leave of absence
expires or the Participant returns to a paid employment status. Upon such
expiration or return, deferrals shall resume for the remaining portion of
the Plan Year in which the expiration or return occurs, based on the
deferral

19

	 	 	election, if any, made for that Plan Year. If no election was made for
that Plan Year, no deferral shall be withheld.

ARTICLE 11

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION

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

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

20

Table of Contents

	 	 	shall have the right to accelerate installment payments by paying the
Cash Account Balance and Stock Account Balance in a lump sum or pursuant
to an Annual Installment Method using fewer years (provided that the
present value of all payments that will have been received by a
Participant at any given point of time under the different payment
schedule shall equal or exceed the present value of all payments that
would have been received at that point in time under the original payment
schedule, using a reasonable discount rate selected by the Committee from
time to time).

	11.3	 	 Plan Agreement. Despite the provisions of Sections 11.1 and 11.2 above,
if a Participant’s Plan Agreement contains benefits or limitations that
are not in this Plan document, the Participant’s Employer may only amend
or terminate such provisions with the consent of the Participant.

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

MISCELLANEOUS

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

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

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

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

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

benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical

construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of
California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

IndyMac Bank, F.S.B.

Pasadena, CA 91101

	 	 	Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if
delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the
receipt for registration or certification.
	 
	 	 	Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant
under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or

	16.11	 	 Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns and
the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.

	16.12	 	 Spouse’s Interest. The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse
of a Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically
pass to the Participant and shall not be transferable by such spouse in
any manner, including but not limited to such spouse’s will, nor shall

	 	 	shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision
had never been inserted herein.

	16.14 	 	Incompetent. If the Committee determines in its discretion that a
benefit under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared
incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that
person’s property, the Committee may direct payment of such benefit to the
guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of
such minor, incompetent, or incapable person. The Committee may require
proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may
deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a
benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and the
Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete
discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.

	16.15 	 	Court Order. The Committee is authorized to make any payments directed
by court order in any action in which the Plan or the Committee has been
named as a party. In addition, if a court determines that a spouse or
former spouse of a Participant has an interest in the Participant’s
benefits under the Plan in connection with a property settlement or
otherwise, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right,
notwithstanding any election made by a Participant, to immediately
distribute the spouse’s or former spouse’s interest in the Participant’s
benefits under the Plan to that spouse or former spouse.

	16.16	 	 Distribution in the Event of Taxation:

	 	 	(a)	 	In General. If, for any reason, all or any portion of a
Participant’s benefits under this Plan becomes taxable to the
Participant prior to receipt, a Participant may petition the
Committee before a Change in Control, or the trustees of the Trust
after a Change in Control, for a distribution of that portion of his
or her benefit that has become taxable. Upon the grant of such a
petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld (and, after
a Change in Control, shall be granted), a Participant’s Employer
shall distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in
an amount equal to the taxable portion of his or her benefit (which
amount shall not exceed the sum of a Participant’s unpaid Cash
Account Balance and Stock Account Balance under the Plan). If the
petition is granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made
within 90 days of the date when the Participant’s petition is
granted. Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the benefits
to be paid under this Plan.
	 
	 	 	(b)	 	Trust. If the Trust terminates in accordance with Section
3.6(e) of the Trust and benefits are distributed from the Trust to a
Participant in accordance with that Section, the Participant’s
benefits under this Plan shall be reduced to the extent of such
distributions.

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

26

Table of Contents

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

	16.18	 	 Legal Fees To Enforce Rights After Change in Control. The Company and
each Employer is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control,
the Board or the board of directors of a Participant’s Employer (which
might then be composed of new members) or a shareholder of the Company or
the Participant’s Employer, or of any successor corporation might then
cause or attempt to cause the Company, the Participant’s Employer or such
successor to refuse to comply with its obligations under the Plan and
might cause or attempt to cause the Company or the Participant’s Employer
to institute, or may institute, litigation seeking to deny Participants
the benefits intended under the Plan. In these circumstances, the purpose
of the Plan could be frustrated. Accordingly, if, following a Change in
Control, it should appear to any Participant that the Company, the
Participant’s Employer or any successor corporation has failed to comply
with any of its obligations under the Plan or any agreement thereunder or,
if the Company, such Employer or any other person takes any action to
declare the Plan void or unenforceable or institutes any litigation or
other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from any
Participant the benefits intended to be provided, then the Company and the
Participant’s Employer irrevocably authorize such Participant to retain
counsel of his or her choice at the expense of the Company and the
Participant’s Employer (who shall be jointly and severally liable) to
represent such Participant in connection with the initiation or defense of
any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company,
the Participant’s Employer or any director, officer, shareholder or other
person affiliated with the Company, the Participant’s Employer or any
successor thereto in any jurisdiction.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has amended and restated this Plan
document as of September 15, 2003.

Deferred Compensation Plan as Amended and Restated Effective as of September
15, 2003, is amended and restated to read as follows:

	“4.1 	 	 Short-Term Payout. In connection with each election to defer an Annual
Cash Deferral Amount or Annual stock Deferral Amount, a Participant may
irrevocably elect to receive a future ‘Short-Term Payout’ from the Plan
with respect to all of the Annual Cash Deferral Amount and/or Annual Stock
Deferral Amount. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Short-Term
Payout shall be equal to the sum of the Annual Cash Deferral Amount and
the Annual Stock Deferral Amount elected to be paid as a Short-Term
Payout, plus amounts credited in the amount provided in Section 3.9 above
that amount. The Short-Term Payout amount shall be payable in a lump sum.
Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Plan, the lump sum
payment shall be made, subject to the Deduction Limitation within 60 days
after the first day of the Plan Year elected by the Participant; provided
that no election shall be effective unless the Plan Year elected is at
least four Plan Years after the last day of the Plan Year to which the
Annual Cash Deferral Amount and/or Annual Stock Deferral Amount relates.
By way of example, if a Short-Term Payout is elected for amounts that are
deferred in the Plan Year commencing January 1, 2004, the Short-Term
Payout can become payable no earlier than the 60 day period commencing on
January 1, 2009.”

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. has executed this Amendment this
31 day of December, 2003.
