Exhibit 4.1

INDYMAC MORTGAGE HOLDINGS, INC.

2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

     1. Purpose of Plan. The purpose of this 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) of IndyMac
Mortgage Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is to enable the Company and any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates to attract, retain and motivate their employees, consultants,
agents, officers and directors by providing incentives related to equity interests in and the
financial performance of the Company.

     2. Persons Eligible Under Plan. Any person, including any director of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, who is an officer or employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates or an individual who performs services for the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates of a nature similar to those performed by officers or employees, such as
consultants and agents (any of the foregoing, an “Employee”) shall be eligible to be considered for
the grant of an Award (as defined in Section 5 below) or Awards under Section 5 of this Plan.
Members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and members of the boards of
directors of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates who are not officers or employees of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Non-Employee Directors”) shall be eligible
to receive Awards under this Plan only in the form of nonqualified stock options granted
automatically under the provisions of Section 10 of this Plan (“Director Options”).

     3. Stock Subject to Plan.

     (a) ISO Limit. The maximum number of Common Shares, $0.01 par value per
share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”) that may be issued pursuant to options intended
to qualify as incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options”) under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), granted under this Plan is
5,000,000, and provided further that, except as otherwise provided herein, the aggregate
Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 10) of Common Shares with respect to which options
intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any
individual during any calendar year shall not exceed the limit, if any, set forth in
Section 422(d) of the Code or any successor provision thereto. For purposes of this
subsection (a), the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 10) of any Common Shares shall
be determined as of the time the Incentive Stock Option with respect to the Common Shares
is granted. Pursuant to Section 422(a)(2) of the Code, only employees (as that term is
used in Section 422(a)(2) of the Code) of the Company or the Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiaries may receive options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options under this
Plan.

 

 

     (b) Aggregate/Individual Share Limit.

     (i) The maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to all
Awards (including Incentive Stock Options, as set forth in subsection (a) above)
granted under this Plan, other than Common Shares that are issued pursuant to
Awards and subsequently reacquired by the Company pursuant to the terms and
conditions of such Awards (“Reacquired Common Shares”), is 5,000,000, subject to
adjustment as provided in or pursuant to Section 6 or 10 hereof (such maximum
number, as so adjusted, shall be referred to as the “Share Limit”).

     (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the aggregate number of Common Shares subject to options, stock
appreciation rights, and awards of restricted stock granted during
any calendar year to any individual shall be limited to 1,000,000.

     (c) Share Reservation. No Award may be granted under this Plan unless, on the
date of grant, the sum of (i) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable at any time
pursuant to such Award, plus (ii) the number of Common Shares that have previously been
issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan, other than Reacquired Common Shares
available for reissue, plus (iii) the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued at
any time after such date of grant pursuant to Awards that are outstanding on such date,
does not exceed the Share Limit. Common Shares distributed under the Plan may be treasury
shares, authorized but unissued shares or shares purchased in the open market for this
purpose.

     (d) Reissue of Awards and Common Shares. Awards payable in cash or Common
Shares that are forfeited or for any reason are not so paid under this Plan, as well as
Common Shares subject to Awards that expire or for any reason are terminated and are not
issued or constitute Reacquired Common Shares, shall again be available for subsequent
Awards under the Plan.

     (e) Fractional Shares/Minimum Issue. Fractional share interests shall be
disregarded, but may be accumulated. No fewer than 100 Common Shares may be purchased on
exercise of any option granted under this Plan (“Option”) at one time unless the number
purchased is the total number at the time available for purchase under the Option.

     (f) Privileges of Stock Ownership. Except as otherwise expressly authorized
by this Plan, an Award recipient shall not be entitled to any privilege of stock ownership
as to any Common Shares subject to an Option granted under this Plan prior to the
satisfaction of all conditions to the valid exercise of the Option.

     4. Administration of Plan.

     (a) The Committee. Except for the provisions of Section 10 (which to the
maximum extent feasible shall be self-effectuating), this Plan shall be administered by a
committee of the Board (the “Committee”) consisting of two or more directors, each of whom
is a “Non-Employee Director,” as such term is defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and an “Outside Director,” as such
term is defined for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.

     (b) Powers of the Committee. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan,
the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or desirable in
connection with the administration of this Plan including, without limitation, the
following:

     (i) adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan;

     (ii) determine which persons meet the requirements of Section 2 hereof for
eligibility under this Plan and to which of such eligible persons, if any, Awards
will be granted hereunder;

     (iii) grant Awards to eligible persons and determine the terms and conditions
thereof, including, but not limited to, the number of Common Shares issuable
pursuant thereto, the time not more than ten (10) years after the date of an Award
at which time the Award shall expire or (if not vested) terminate, and the
conditions upon which Awards become exercisable or vest or shall expire or
terminate, and the consideration, if any, to be paid upon receipt, exercise or
vesting of Awards;

     (iv) determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required
pursuant to Section 6 hereof;

     (v) interpret and construe this Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award
granted under Section 5, whether before or after the date set forth in Section 7;
and

     (vi) determine the circumstances under which, consistent with the provisions
of Section 7, any outstanding Award under Section 5 may be amended;

which authority (except as to clauses (ii) and (iii) above) shall remain in effect so long
as any Award remains outstanding under this Plan.

     (c) Specific Committee Responsibility and Discretion Regarding Awards.
Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Committee, in its sole

3

 

and absolute discretion, shall determine all of the terms and conditions of each Award
granted under Section 5 of this Plan, which terms and conditions may include, subject to
such limitations as the Committee may from time to time impose, among other things,
provisions that:

     (i) permit the recipient of such Award, including any recipient who is a
director or officer of the Company, to pay the purchase price of the Common Shares
or other property issuable pursuant to such Award, or such recipient’s tax
withholding obligation upon such issuance or in respect of such Award or Shares, in
whole or in part, by any one or more of the following:

     (A) the delivery of previously owned shares of capital stock of the
Company (including shares acquired as or pursuant to Awards) then having
been owned by the recipient for at least six (6) months (or such other
period required under applicable law) or the delivery of other property,
or

     (B) the delivery of a promissory note, under any applicable
financing plan or on such other terms and conditions, as in either case
authorized by the Committee, consistent with applicable law;

     (ii) accelerate the receipt of benefits pursuant to such Award upon the
occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, a change of control
of the Company, an acquisition of a specified percentage of the voting power of the
Company, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a sale of substantially all
of the property and assets of the Company or an event of the type described in
Section 6 hereof, or pursuant to the provisions of an employment contract not
inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, or in other circumstances or upon the
occurrence of other events as deemed appropriate by the Committee;

     (iii) qualify such Award as an Incentive Stock Option;

     (iv) extend the exercisability or term of any or all such outstanding Awards,
change the price of any or all such outstanding Awards or otherwise change
previously imposed terms and conditions, in the specified events described in
clause (ii) above or in other circumstances or upon the occurrence of other events
as deemed appropriate by the Committee, in each case subject to Section 7;

     (v) authorize the conversion, succession or substitution of outstanding Awards
under Section 5 upon the occurrence of any event of the type described in Section
6, or in other circumstances or upon the occurrence of other events as deemed
appropriate by the Committee; and/or

4

 

     (vi) provide for automatic grants of Awards or successive Awards.

     (d) Binding Determinations. Any action taken by, or inaction of, the Company,
the Board or the Committee relating or pursuant to this Plan shall be within the absolute
discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. No
member of the Board or officer of the Company shall be liable for any such action or
inaction of the entity or body, of another person or, except in circumstances involving bad
faith, of himself or herself.

     (e) Reliance on Experts. In making any determination or in taking or not
taking any action under this Plan, the Board and the Committee may obtain and may rely upon
the advice of experts, including professional advisors to the Company. No director,
officer or agent of the Company shall be liable for any such action or determination taken
or made or omitted in good faith.

     (f) Delegation. The Committee may delegate ministerial, non-discretionary
functions to individuals who are officers or employees of the Company. The Committee also
may delegate to certain officer(s) of the Company the authority to grant Awards pursuant to
Section 5 of the Plan, provided that such delegation is set forth in writing and
includes all applicable limitations and parameters to such Awards, and provided
further that such Awards are subsequently ratified by the Committee.

     5. Awards.

     (a) Types of Awards. The Committee, on behalf of the Company, is authorized
under this Plan to enter into any type of arrangement with an Employee that is not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan and that by its terms, involves or might
involve the issuance of (i) Common Shares, (ii) an option, warrant, convertible security,
stock appreciation right or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege at a
fixed or variable price related to the Common Shares or other equity securities of the
Company and/or the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the
satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or any combination of these
variables, or any similar security contemplated by subsection (b) below, or (iii) any
similar security with a value derived from the value of the Common Shares or other equity
securities of the Company, all of which may or may not involve the payment of cash
consideration, subject to subsection (e) below. The authorization of any such arrangement
(including any benefits described in Section 5(e)) is referred to herein as the grant of an
“Award”. The date of grant may be at or after (but not before) the date the Committee
authorizes the Award. All Awards shall be evidenced by a writing with a schedule
memorializing the grant of the Award to the recipient and setting forth certain specifics
with respect to the terms and conditions of the Award (“Award Memorandum”).

5

 

     (b) Form of Awards. Awards are not restricted to any specified form or
structure and may include, without limitation, sales or bonuses of stock, restricted stock,
performance restricted stock, stock options, reload stock options, stock purchase warrants,
other rights to acquire stock, securities convertible into or redeemable for stock, stock
appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, dividend
equivalents, performance units or performance shares, and an Award may consist of one such
security or benefit, or two or more of them in any combination or alternative. In
addition, any Award that is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option will
automatically be converted into a non-qualified stock option to the extent that such Award
does not satisfy any applicable requirement under Section 422 of the Code.

     (c) Restricted Stock Awards. If expressly provided by the Committee, and
without limiting subsection (b) above, Awards of restricted Common Shares (“Restricted
Stock”) may be made to the holder of any Option, based upon dividends or distributions that
would have been received had the Common Shares covered by the Option been issued and
outstanding on the applicable dividend record date. The terms and conditions of any such
Awards of Restricted Stock shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the
applicable Award Memorandum.

     (d) Time and Method of Exercise. Awards may be exercised in whole or in part
at such time or times as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the
applicable Award Memorandum. Awards shall be exercised in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee, subject to Section 4(c)(i) and any holding periods required
under applicable law.

     (e) Price; Consideration; Option Pricing Limit. Common Shares may be issued
pursuant to an Award for any lawful consideration as determined by the Committee,
including, without limitation, cash, Common Shares (valued at then Fair Market Value, as
defined in Section 10), or services rendered by the recipient of such Award;
provided that no Common Shares shall be issued for less than the minimum lawful
consideration and no Option which is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be
granted with an exercise price that is less than the Fair Market Value (as defined in
Section 10) of the underlying Common Shares on the date of grant.

     (f) Effect of Termination of Service or Death; Change in Subsidiary Status.
Subject to Section 4(c)(ii), and except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award
Memorandum or otherwise specified or approved by the Committee, each Option and all other
rights thereunder, to the extent not exercised (whether or not presently exercisable),
shall terminate and become null and void at such time as the holder of such Option
terminates service as an Employee, except that:

6

 

     (i) if the holder terminates service as an Employee for a reason other than
cause (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), death or permanent
and total disability (as defined in clause (ii) below), the holder may at any time
within a period of three months after such termination exercise such Option to the
extent such Option was exercisable on the date of such termination;

     (ii) if the holder terminates service as an Employee by reason of permanent
and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), or if
the holder becomes permanently and totally disabled within three months after
termination described in clause (i), the holder may at any time within a period of
twelve (12) months after such termination exercise such Option to the extent such
Option was exercisable on the date of such termination; and

     (iii) if the holder terminates service as an Employee by reason of death, or
within three months after a termination described in clauses (i) or (ii), then such
Option may be exercised within a period of twelve (12) months after the holder’s
termination of service as an Employee, to the extent such Option was exercisable on
the date of such termination;

provided, however, that in no event may any such Option be exercised by any
holder after its expiration date.

     Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this subsection (f), if the holder
of an Option is an Employee of an entity which is a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company
and such entity ceases to be such a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, such event
shall be deemed for purposes of this subsection (f) to be a termination of the holder’s
service as an Employee described in clause (i) above. Absence from work caused by military
service or authorized sick leave shall not be considered a termination of service as an
Employee for purposes of this subsection (f).

     (g) Cash Awards; Loans. The Committee shall have the express authority to
create, add or include a cash payment or benefit under this Plan, whether in lieu of, in
addition to or as an Award or as a component of another type of Award, and to make or
authorize loans to finance, or to otherwise accommodate the financing, acquisition or
exercise of an Award or the satisfaction of any related tax liability.

     (h) Transfer Restrictions. Unless otherwise permitted in the applicable Award
Memorandum pursuant to the discretion of the Committee, no Award granted hereunder shall be
transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order.

7

 

     (i) Tax Withholding. Upon the issuance of Common Shares, the payment of cash
or any other taxable event in respect of an Award under this Plan, such number of shares or
amount of cash or other consideration, as the case may be, otherwise issuable or payable
may be reduced by the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding
requirements imposed on the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in respect of
such Award or event, all to the extent and in such manner as the Committee may determine.

     6. Adjustments and Acceleration.

(a) Adjustments. If (i) the outstanding securities of the class then
subject to this Plan (the “outstanding shares”) (A) are increased, decreased,
exchanged or converted as a result of a stock split (including a split in the form
of a stock dividend), reverse stock split, recapitalization, or similar event or
(B) are exchanged for or converted into cash, property or a different number or
kind of securities (or if cash, property or securities are distributed in respect
of the outstanding shares), as a result of a reorganization, merger, consolidation,
exchange, recapitalization, restructuring or reclassification, or (ii)
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company are sold as an
entirety, or (iii) the Company is liquidated and dissolved, then, the Committee
(or, in the case of Director Options, the Board) shall, in such manner and to such
extent (if any) as is equitable and appropriate, make proportionate adjustments in
(x) the number and type of shares or other securities or cash or other property
that may be acquired pursuant to Options and other Awards previously granted under
this Plan (and, where applicable, the exercise price thereof so as to maintain the
same aggregate exercise price), (y) the maximum number and type of shares or other
securities, cash, or property that may be issued or delivered pursuant to Options
(including Incentive Stock Options and Director Options) and other Awards
thereafter granted under this Plan, and (z) such other terms as necessarily are
affected by such event. In the case of an extraordinary distribution, merger,
reorganization, consolidation, combination, sale of assets, exchange or spin off,
the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Director Options) may make provisions
for a substitution or exchange of any or all outstanding Options or other Awards or
rights (or for the securities, cash or property deliverable upon exercise of such
outstanding Options or other Awards or rights), based upon the distribution or
consideration payable to holders of the Common Shares of the Company upon or in
respect of such event.

(b) Acceleration.

     (i) The Committee, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, may, but need
not, make an affirmative determination in light of all circumstances surrounding a
transaction or group of related transactions that a “Change in Control” for
purposes of this Plan will either occur or

8

 

not occur. In making any such determination, the Committee shall give due
consideration, without limitation, to the likely effect of such transaction(s) on
the makeup of the shareholder base, the Board and the senior management of the
Company. If the Committee does not exercise the right to make this affirmative
determination with respect to a specific transaction or group of related
transactions, then, with respect thereto, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to
occur for purposes of this Plan upon the occurrence of any one of the following
events:

     (A) An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any
common stock or other “Voting Securities” (as hereinafter defined) of the
Company by any “Person” (as the term person is used for purposes of
Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, immediately after which such
Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act) of twenty five percent (25%) or more of the then
outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock or the combined voting
power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities;
provided, however, that in determining whether a Change in
Control has occurred, Voting Securities which are acquired in a
“Non-Control Acquisition” (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an
acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. For purposes of this
Plan, (1) “Voting Securities” shall mean the Company’s outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and (2)
a “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (a) an employee
benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (x) the
Company, or, (y) any corporation or other Person of which a majority of
its voting power or its voting equity securities or equity interest is
owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for purposes of this
definition, a “Subsidiary”), (b) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
or (c) any Person in connection with a “Non-Control Transaction” (as
hereinafter defined);

     (B) The individuals who as of March 1, 2000 are members of the Board
(the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least
two-thirds of the members of the Board; provided, however,
that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s common
stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes
of this Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board;
provided further, however, that no individual
shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual
initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened
“Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act) or
other actual or threatened

9

 

solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than
the Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any agreement
intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or

     (C) The consummation of: (1) A merger, consolidation or
reorganization involving the Company, unless such merger, consolidation or
reorganization is a “Non-Control Transaction.” A “Non-Control
Transaction” shall mean a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the
Company where: (a) the stockholders of the Company, immediately before
such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own directly or indirectly
immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at
least seventy percent (70%) of the combined voting power of the
outstanding Voting Securities of the corporation resulting from such
merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) in
substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting
Securities immediately before such merger, consolidation or
reorganization; (b) the individuals who were members of the Incumbent
Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for
such merger, consolidation or reorganization constitute at least
two-thirds of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving
Corporation, or in the event that, immediately following the consummation
of such transaction, a corporation beneficially owns, directly or
indirectly, a majority of the Voting Securities of the Surviving
Corporation, the board of directors of such corporation; and (c) no Person
other than (w) the Company, (x) any Subsidiary, (y) any employee benefit
plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company, the
Surviving Corporation, or any Subsidiary, or (z) any Person who,
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization had
Beneficial Ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the then
outstanding Voting Securities or common stock of the Company, has
Beneficial Ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined
voting power of the Surviving Corporation’s then outstanding Voting
Securities or its common stock;

     (2) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company,

     (3) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than a
transfer to a Subsidiary); or

     (D) or any other occurrence or state of facts, whether similar or
dissimilar to the foregoing, that is determined by the

10

 

Committee to constitute a change in control of the management or
policies of the Company.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(b)(i), a Change in
Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject
Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the
then outstanding common stock or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition
of common stock or Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number
of shares of common stock or Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the
proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons;
provided, however, that if a Change in Control would occur (but for
the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of common stock or
Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company,
the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional common stock or
Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding common
stock or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change
in Control shall occur.

     (i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10(j), prior to a Change in
Control, the Committee may determine in respect of Awards held by Employees that
upon or in anticipation of the occurrence of the Change in Control benefits under
Awards shall be accelerated only for a limited period of time, which period of time
shall not be less than a period of time reasonably necessary to realize the
benefits of such acceleration nor more than one year after the Change in Control.
If such a determination is not made, then (subject to the last sentence of this
clause) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and without further action by
the Board or the Committee, (A) each Option and stock appreciation right shall
become immediately exercisable, (B) performance Restricted Stock shall immediately
vest free of restrictions, and (C) each performance share Award shall become
payable to the Employee. The Committee may override the limitations on
acceleration in this Section 6(b)(ii) by express provision in the Award Memorandum
or otherwise, and may accord any holder of an Award a right to refuse any
acceleration, whether pursuant to the Award Memorandum or otherwise, in such
circumstances as the Committee may approve. Any acceleration of Awards shall
comply with any applicable regulatory and financial accounting requirements,
including without limitation Section 422 of the Code.

     (ii) Any Awards that are (or but for a holder’s rejection of acceleration
would have been) accelerated under this Section 6 and that are not exercised or
vested prior to a dissolution of the Company or a reorganization event described in
Section 6(a) that the Company does not survive shall terminate, provided
that if provision has been made,

11

 

consistent with the terms hereof, for the substitution, exchange or other
settlement of Awards, such Awards shall be substituted, exchanged or otherwise
settled in accordance with such provision.

     (iii) Any Awards that are (or but for the holder’s rejection of the
acceleration would have been) accelerated that are not exercised or vested prior to
an abandonment or termination of a transaction subject to shareholder approval that
triggered the Change in Control (as evidenced by public announcement, Board
resolution, execution of documents terminating the transaction, or other action or
document objectively confirming such abandonment or termination), shall be restored
to their prior status (except for the effects of the passage of time) as if no
Change in Control had occurred.

     7. Amendment and Termination of Plan.

     (a) No Award shall be granted under this Plan after March 1, 2010. Although
Common Shares may be issued after March 1, 2010 pursuant to Awards granted prior to such
date, no Common Shares otherwise shall be issued under this Plan after such date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Award granted prior to such date may vest or be amended
after such date in any manner that would have been permitted prior to such date, except
that (except as provided herein) no such amendment shall increase the number of shares
subject to or comprising such Award, or extend the final expiration date of the Award or
reduce (below the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 10) on the date of the
amendment) the exercise price of or under such Award.

     (b) The Board may, without shareholder approval, at any time and from time to time,
suspend, discontinue or amend this Plan in any respect whatsoever, except that no such
amendment shall impair any rights under any Award theretofore made under the Plan without
the consent of the holder of such Award. Furthermore, and except as and to the extent
otherwise permitted by the provisions hereof, no such amendment shall, without shareholder
approval, cause the Plan to cease to satisfy any applicable condition of Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act or cause any Award under the Plan to cease to qualify for any applicable
exception under Section 162(m) of the Code.

8. Effective Date of Plan: Shareholder Approval. This Plan shall be effective as
of March 1, 2000, the date upon which it was approved by the Board; provided,
however, that no Common Shares may be issued under this Plan until it has been
approved by the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the Common Shares of the
Company present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance
with applicable law.

12

 

     9. Legal Issues.

     (a) Compliance and Choice of Law: Severability. This Plan, the granting and
vesting of Awards under this Plan and the issuance and delivery of Common Shares and/or the
payment of money under this Plan or under Awards granted hereunder are subject to
compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but
not limited to state and federal securities law and federal margin requirements) and to
such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion
of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any
securities delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such restrictions as the Company
may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal
requirements. This Plan, the Awards, all documents evidencing Awards and all other related
documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware. If any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Plan (subject to Section 9(b))
shall continue in effect.

     (b) Plan Construction. It is the intent of the Company that this Plan and
Awards hereunder satisfy and be interpreted in a manner that in the case of recipients who
are or may become persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act satisfies the
applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act so that such persons will be
entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other exemptive rules under Section 16 of the
Exchange Act and will not be subjected to avoidable liability thereunder. If any provision
of this Plan or of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent
expressed above, that provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and deemed
amended so as to avoid such conflict, but to the extent of any remaining irreconcilable
conflict with such intent as to such persons in the circumstances, such provision shall be
deemed inoperative.

     (c) Non-Exclusivity of Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall limit or be deemed to
limit the authority of the Board or the Committee to grant awards or authorize any other
compensation, with or without reference to the Common Shares, under any other plan or
authority.

     10. Non-Employee Director Options

     (a) Participation. Awards relating to the Common Shares authorized under this
Plan shall be made under this Section 10 only to Non-Employee Directors.

     (b) Certain Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to this
Section 10:

13

 

     (i) “Business Day” shall mean any day, other than Saturday, Sunday or any
statutory holiday in the state of California.

     (ii) “Director Option” shall mean an Option granted to a Non-Employee Director
pursuant to this Section 10.

     (iii) “Disability” shall mean a “permanent and total disability” within the
meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

     (iv) “Fair Market Value” on a specified date shall mean (A) if the Common
Shares are listed or admitted to trade on a national securities exchange, the
average of the high and low reported sales prices of the Common Shares on the
Composite Tape on such date, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street
Journal, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares
are so listed or admitted to trade, or, if there is no trading of the Shares on
such date, then the average of the high and low reported sales prices of the Common
Shares as quoted on such Composite Tape on the next preceding date on which there
is trading in such Shares; (B) if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to
trade on a national securities exchange, the average of the high and low reported
prices for the Common Shares on such date, as furnished by the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) through the NASDAQ National Market Reporting
System (or a similar organization, if the NASD is no longer reporting such
information); (C) if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trade on a
national securities exchange and are not reported on the National Market Reporting
System, the arithmetic mean between the bid and asked prices for the Shares on such
date, as furnished by the NASD or a similar organization; or (D) if the Common
Shares are not listed or admitted to trade on a national securities exchange nor
reported on the National Market Reporting System and if bid and asked prices for
the stock are not furnished by the NASD or a similar organization, the value as
established by the Board at such time for purposes of this Plan.

     (v) “Retirement” shall mean retirement or resignation as a director after at
least five (5) years service as a director.

     (c) Annual Awards. On the same date as the annual grant of Awards to Employees
pursuant to this Plan in each calendar year after 2000 during the term of the Plan, there
shall be granted to each Non-Employee Director then in office nonqualified stock options to
purchase the number of Common Shares equal to 0.025% of the issued and outstanding Common
Shares of the Company (excluding any Common Shares held in treasury by the Company) as of
the end of the preceding fiscal year.

14

 

     (d) Minimum Number of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, a Non-Employee Director shall not receive Options for less than 7,500
Common Shares pursuant to this Section 10 in any calendar year.

     (e) Purchase Price. The exercise price for Shares under any Director Option
shall be equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date the Director
Option is granted. The exercise price for Shares under any Director Option may be modified
by a separate vote of the members of the Board who are officers of the Company, as well as
the full Board; provided, that the modified exercise price shall be no less than 100% of
the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date the exercise price of the Director
Option is modified. The exercise price of any option granted under this Section 10 shall
be paid in full at the time of each purchase in cash equivalent or in Common Shares valued
at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of such option, or partly in such shares
and partly in cash, provided that any such Common Shares used in payment
shall have been owned by the Non-Employee Director at least six months prior to the date of
exercise.

     (f) Option Period and Exercisability. Each Director Option granted under this
Section 10 shall become fully exercisable, in whole or in part, on the first anniversary of
the grant date. Each option granted under this Section 10 and all rights or obligations
thereunder shall expire on the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the date of grant or the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company and shall be subject to earlier termination as
provided below.

     (g) Termination of Directorship. If a Non-Employee Director’s services as a
member of the Board, or as a member of the board of directors of a subsidiary or affiliate
of the Company, terminate by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, an option granted
pursuant to this Section 10 then held by such Non-Employee Director shall immediately
become and shall remain exercisable for one year after the date of such termination or
until the expiration of the stated term of such option, whichever first occurs. If a
Non-Employee Director’s services as a member of the Board, or as a member of the board of
directors of a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, terminate for any other reason
(other than Cause), any option granted pursuant to this Section 10 which is not then
exercisable shall terminate and any such option which is then exercisable may be exercised
for three months after the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated
term, which ever first occurs. If a Non-Employee Director is terminated for Cause, all
Director Options granted to such Non-Employee Director shall be forfeited and shall no
longer be exercisable, effective on the date of such termination for Cause. For purposes
of this Section 10, “Cause” shall mean, with respect to any Non-Employee Director,
termination on account of any act of (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (ii)
embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company or
any subsidiary or affiliate, or (iii) conviction of a felony.

15

 

     (h) Adjustments. The provisions of this Section 10 and Director Options
granted hereunder shall be subject to Section 6. If there shall occur any event described
in Section 6(a), then in addition to the matters contemplated thereby, the Board shall, in
such manner and to such extent (if any) as is appropriate and equitable, proportionately
adjust the dollar amounts set forth elsewhere in this Section 10.

     (i) Loans. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Board may
authorize loans to Non-Employee Directors to finance the exercise of Awards;
provided, however, that no loan shall be made to any Non-Employee Director
to finance the exercise of an Award made under this Section 10 unless (i) such loan is made
pursuant to a full recourse promissory note, and (ii) such loan, if secured by Common
Shares (whether issuable under the Award in question or otherwise), is made in compliance
with Regulation G of the Federal Reserve Board.

     (j) Acceleration Upon a Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control referred to in Section 6(b), each Director Option granted under this Section 10
shall become immediately exercisable in full subject to the terms thereof. To the extent
that any Director Option granted under this Section 10 is not exercised prior to (i) a
dissolution of the Company or (ii) a merger or other corporate event that the Company does
not survive, and no provision is (or consistent with the provisions of Section 9 or 10 can
be) made for the assumption, conversion, substitution or exchange of the option, the
Director Option shall terminate upon the occurrence of such event.

     (k) Other Provisions. The provisions of Sections 3(e)-(f), 5(h) and 7 through
9 are incorporated herein by this reference.

     (l) Grant of Options to Newly Elected Non-Employee Directors. Upon the
election of a newly elected Non-Employee Director, there shall be granted automatically
(without any action by the Committee or the Board) a nonqualified stock option (the grant
date of which shall be the date of such election) to each newly elected Non-Employee
Director as follows: (i) if the Non-Employee Director is elected within six months of the
date on which the most recent Director Options were granted to existing Non-Employee
Directors, a non-qualified stock option to purchase the same number of Common Shares for
which the most recent Director Options were granted to existing Non-Employee Directors, and
(ii) if the Non-Employee Director is elected more than six months following the date on
which the most recent Director Options were granted to existing Non-Employee Directors, but
prior to the date in the following calendar year on which Director Options are granted to
existing Non-Employee Directors, a non-qualified stock option to purchase one-half the
number of Common Shares for which the most recent Director Options were granted to existing
Non-Employee Directors.

Amendment to the

2000 Stock Incentive Plan

(Adopted by the Board of Directors on January 27, 2004)

The 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) is hereby amended, effective as of January 27, 2004, as
follows:

1. By substituting the following for the two subsections numbered 6(b)(i) of the Plan (regarding
the Change in Control definition) and by re-numbering the later subsections of Section 6(b)
accordingly:

     “(b) Acceleration.

     (i) Subject to subsection 6(b)(ii) below, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to
occur for purposes of this Plan upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:

     (A) An acquisition of any common stock or other “Voting Securities” (as
hereinafter defined) of the Company by any “Person” (as the term person is used for
purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”)), immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial
Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of
twenty five percent (25%) or more of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s
common stock or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting
Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has
occurred, Voting Securities which are acquired in a “Non-Control Acquisition” (as
hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change
in Control. For purposes of this Plan, (1) “Voting Securities” shall mean the
Company’s outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors and (2) a “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (a)
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) an employee benefit plan (or a trust
forming a part thereof) maintained by (x) the Company, or (y) any corporation or
other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its voting equity
securities or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for
purposes of the definition in this subsection 6.1, a “Subsidiary”), or (c) any
Person in connection with a “Non-Control Transaction” (as hereinafter defined).

     (B) The individuals who, as of the Effective Date, were members of the Board
(the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of
the members of the Board; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination
for election by Company’s common stockholders, of any new director was approved by
a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for
purposes of this Plan be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board;

- 20 -

 

provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the
Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either
an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated
under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”)
including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election
Contest or Proxy Contest; or

     (C) The consummation of a merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving
the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company to any Person or Persons other than a transfer to a
Subsidiary, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
stock or assets of IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. to any Person or Persons other than a
transfer to a Subsidiary (in each case, a “Business Transaction”)), unless such
Business Transaction is a “Non-Control Transaction.” A “Non Control Transaction”
shall mean a Business Transaction where:

	 	(a)	 	the stockholders of the Company,
immediately before such Business Transaction, own directly or
indirectly immediately following such Business Transaction more than
sixty percent (60% ) of the combined voting power of the outstanding
Voting Securities of the corporation resulting from such merger,
consolidation or reorganization or purchasing such assets or stock
(the “Surviving Corporation”) in substantially the same proportion as
their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such
Business Transaction;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the individuals who were members of the
Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement
providing for such Business Transaction constitute at least a
majority of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving
Corporation, or in the event that, immediately following the
consummation of such Business Transaction, a corporation beneficially
owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the Voting Securities of
the Surviving Corporation, the board of directors of such
corporation; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	no Person other than (i) the Company, (ii)
any Subsidiary, (iii) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming
a part thereof) maintained by the Company, the Surviving Corporation
or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any Person who, immediately prior to such
Business Transaction had Beneficial Ownership of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities or common

- 21 -

 

	 	 	 	stock of the Company, has Beneficial Ownership of twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Surviving Corporation’s then outstanding Voting Securities or its
common stock; or

     (D) The Company’s stockholders approve a complete liquidation or dissolution
of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 6(b)(i), a Change in Control
shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired
Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding common
stock or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of common stock or Voting
Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of common stock or
Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares
Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person; provided, however, that if a Change in
Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the
acquisition of common stock or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share
acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any
additional common stock or Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the
then outstanding common stock or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject
Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

     (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection 6(b)(i), the Board, in the
exercise of its reasonable discretion, may, but need not, make an affirmative determination
prior to the consummation of a Business Transaction (as defined in subsection b(i)(C))
that, in light of all circumstances, such Business Transaction will be not be treated as a
Change in Control for purposes of this Plan, by reason of it being in essence a
“combination of equals” or for any other reason. In making any such determination, the
Board shall give due consideration, without limitation, to the likely effect of such
transaction(s) on the makeup of the stockholder base, the Board and the senior management
of the Company.

     (iii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10(j), an Award Memorandum or a written
agreement between the Company and a Participant to the contrary, in the event of a Change
in Control, then all outstanding Awards previously granted to the Participant hereunder
that have not already vested shall vest on the first anniversary of the Change in Control;
provided, however, that in the event that a Participant’s employment with IndyMac or any
successor employee is terminated within one (1) year following a Change in Control (i) by
reason of the Participant’s Disability or Death, or (ii) either by the employer without
Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, then all outstanding Awards previously granted
to the Participant hereunder that have not already vested shall vest on the date of such
termination of employment. In the event of such acceleration of “vesting,” each Option
shall become immediately exercisable, and (B) outstanding Awards shall immediately vest
free of restrictions, and shall

- 22 -

 

become payable to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the
contrary herein, prior to a Change in Control, the Committee may in its sole discretion
amend this Section 6(b)(iii) to alter the acceleration of Awards in the event of a Change
in Control, including, without limitation, to provide for immediate acceleration of awards
or to prohibit or otherwise limit such acceleration. The Committee may accord any holder
of an Award a right to refuse any acceleration, whether pursuant to the Award Memorandum or
otherwise, in such circumstances as the Committee may approve. In determining whether and
in what manner to accelerate the vesting of Awards under the Plan, the Committee shall
consider the effect thereof under applicable regulatory and financial accounting
principles, including without limitation section 422 of the Code.

For purposes of this section, “Cause” shall have the meaning assigned such term in the
employment agreement, if any, between a Participant and the Company or an affiliate,
provided, however that if there is no such employment agreement in which such term is
defined, and unless otherwise defined in the applicable Award, “Cause” shall mean, with
respect to any Employee, termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary on
account of any act of (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (ii) embezzlement,
misappropriation or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company or any subsidiary
or affiliate, or (iii) conviction of a felony.

For purposes of this section, “Good Reason” shall have the meaning assigned such term in
the employment agreement, if any, between a Participant and the Company or an affiliate,
provided, however that if there is no such Employment Agreement in which such term is
defined, and unless otherwise defined in the applicable Award, “Good Reason” shall mean,
with respect to any Employee, any of the following acts by the Company or an affiliate,
without the consent of the Participant (in each case, other than an isolated, insubstantial
and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company or the
affiliate promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant): (i) the
assignment to the Participant of duties materially inconsistent with, or a material
diminution in, the Participant’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities as in
effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, (ii) a reduction by the Company or an
affiliate in the Participant’s base salary, (iii) the Company or an affiliate requiring the
Participant, without his or her consent, to be based at any office or location more than 35
miles from the location at which the Participant was stationed immediately prior to a
Change in Control, (iv) the continuing material breach by the Company or an affiliate of
any Employment Agreement between the Participant and the Company or an affiliate after the
expiration of any applicable period for cure, or (v) the expiration an employment agreement
between the Employee and the Company or any affiliate in effect prior to a Change in
Control without renewal by the Company or its successor on or following a Change in Control
on terms that are substantially comparable to the terms of such employment agreement.”

Amendment to the

2000 Stock Incentive Plan

(Adopted by the Board of Directors on October 26, 2004)

The 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) is hereby amended, effective as of October 26, 2004, as
follows:

1. By substituting the following for subsection 5(f) of the Plan:

     f) Effect of Termination of Service; Miscellaneous Provisions Relating to
Awards. Subject to Section 4(c)(ii), and except as otherwise provided in the
applicable Award Memorandum or otherwise specified or approved by the Committee, at the
time the holder of an Award terminates service as an employee (a) each Option and any other
Award with an exercise privilege, to the extent not exercised (whether or not presently
exercisable), shall terminate and be forfeited, and (b) any other Award subject to time or
performance vesting (such as restricted stock or performance shares or performance units),
to the extent such vesting condition has not been met, shall terminate and be forfeited,
except that:

     (i) if the holder terminates service as an Employee for a reason other
than cause (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), death,
Disability (as defined in clause (ii) below) or Retirement (as defined in
clause (iii) below), the holder may at any time within a period of three months
after such termination exercise each Option and any other Award with an
exercise privilege to the extent such Awards were exercisable on the date of
such termination;

     (ii) if the holder terminates service as an Employee by reason of death or
Disability, or if the holder dies or becomes Disabled within three months after
termination described in clause (i), then each Option and any other Award with
an exercise privilege may be exercised within a period of twelve (12) months
after such termination (for purposes of this Section 5, “Disability” shall mean
a permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the
Code);

     (iii) if the holder terminates service as an Employee by reason of
Retirement, then (a) each Option and any other Award with an exercise privilege
shall become fully exercisable and may be exercised within a period of twelve
(12) months after the holder’s Retirement, (b) any time-based vesting
restrictions on any Awards shall lapse, and (c) and any performance-based
criteria relating to Awards shall be deemed to be satisfied at the greater of
“target” or actual performance as of the date of the holder’s Retirement;
provided, however, that as a condition of such exercise privilege and
acceleration of vesting, the holder shall execute a restrictive covenant
agreement

- 24 -

 

(including, but not limited to, a non-competition covenant and a
non-solicitation of customers and employees covenant) satisfactory to the
Company with a term equal to the longest vesting term being accelerated. For
purposes of this Section 5, “Retirement” shall mean retirement or resignation
from the Company (a) (i) if the holder is less than 55 years of age, with at
least 75 points or (ii) if the holder is 55 years of age or older, with at
least 65 points and (b) the holder has at least five (5) consecutive years of
employment with the Company. An Employee shall receive one (1) point for every
consecutive year of employment with the Company and one (1) point for every
year of age. For example, an Employee who is 52 years of age and has worked
for the Company for 15 consecutive years has 67 points;

provided, however, that in no event may any Option or other Award with an exercise
privilege be exercised by any holder after its expiration date.

          Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this subsection (f), if the holder of an
Award is an Employee of an entity which is a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company and such entity
ceases to be such a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, such event shall be deemed for purposes
of this subsection (f) to be a termination of the holder’s service as an Employee described in
clause (i) above. Absence from work caused by military service or authorized sick leave shall not
be considered a termination of service as an Employee for purposes of this subsection (f).

Amendment to the

2000 Stock Incentive Plan

(Adopted by the Board of Directors on September 19, 2006)

This Amendment to the IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the
“2000 Plan”), is hereby adopted this 19th day of September, 2006, by the Board of
Directors of IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”).

     The Company adopted the 2000 Plan for the purposes set forth therein, and pursuant to Section
7 of the 2000 Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company has the right to amend the 2000 Plan with
respect to certain matters.

     The Board of Directors has approved and authorized this Amendment to the 2000 Plan.

     The 2000 Plan is hereby amended, effective as of the date hereof, in the following
particulars:

1. By deleting Section 6(a) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(a)(i) Mandatory Adjustments. In the event of a nonreciprocal transaction between
the Company and its stockholders that causes the per-share value of the Common Shares to
change (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights
offering, or large nonrecurring cash dividend), the authorization limits under Section 3
shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee (or, in the case of Director Options,
the Board) shall make such adjustments to the Plan and Awards as it deems necessary, in its
sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights immediately resulting from
such transaction. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and
kind of Common Shares that may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number
and kind of Common Shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the exercise
price of outstanding Awards or the measure to be used to determine the amount of the
benefit payable on an Award; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines
to be equitable. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the
outstanding Common Shares (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Common
Shares, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser
number of shares, the authorization limits under Section 3 shall automatically be adjusted
proportionately, and the Common Shares then subject to each Award shall automatically,
without the necessity for any additional action by the Committee, be adjusted
proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor.

(ii) Discretionary Adjustment. Upon the occurrence or in anticipation of any
corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any
merger, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or exchange

- 26 -

 

of shares, or any transaction described in (i) above), the Committee (or, in the case of
Director Options, the Board) may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that Awards will be
settled in cash rather than Common Shares, (ii) that Awards will become immediately vested
and exercisable and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then
exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise
be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that
outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the
excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Shares, as of a specified date
associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, (v) that performance
targets and performance periods for performance-based compensation will be modified,
consistent with Code Section 162(m) where applicable, or (vi) any combination of the
foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for
different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

(iii) General. Any discretionary adjustments made pursuant to this Section 6(a)
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7. To the extent that any adjustments made
pursuant to this Section 6(a) cause Incentive Stock Options to cease to qualify as
Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be deemed to be non-qualified stock options.”

All other provisions of the 2000 Plan shall remain the same.

Exhibit 4.2

INDYMAC BANCORP, INC.

2002 INCENTIVE PLAN,

AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

SECTION 1

GENERAL

     1.1. Purpose. The IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. 2002 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) has been
established by IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) to (i) attract and retain persons eligible to
participate in the Plan; (ii) motivate Participants, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve
long-range goals; (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with
those of other similar companies; and (iv) further identify Participants’ interests with those of
the Company’s other stockholders through compensation that is based on the Company’s common stock;
and thereby promote the long-term financial interest of the Company and the Subsidiaries, including
the growth in value of the Company’s equity and enhancement of long-term stockholder return. The
following provisions constitute an amendment, restatement, and continuation of the Plan as in
effect immediately prior to April 25, 2006.

     1.2. Participation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee
shall determine and designate, from time to time, from among the Eligible Individuals (including
transferees of Eligible Individuals to the extent the transfer is permitted by the Plan), those
persons who will be granted one or more Awards under the Plan, and thereby become “Participants” in
the Plan.

     1.3. Operation, Administration, and Definitions. The operation and administration of
the Plan, including the Awards made under the Plan, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5
(relating to operation and administration). Capitalized terms in the Plan shall be defined as set
forth in the Plan (including the definition provisions of Section 9).

SECTION 2

OPTIONS

     2.1. Definitions. The grant of an “Option” entitles the Participant to purchase
shares of Stock at an Exercise Price established by the Committee. Any Option granted under this
Section 2 may be either an incentive stock option (an “ISO”) or a non-qualified option (an “NQO”),
as determined at the discretion of the Committee. An “ISO” is an Option that is intended to
satisfy the requirements applicable to an “incentive stock option” described in Section 422(b) of
the Code. An “NQO” is an Option that is not intended to be or does not qualify as an “incentive
stock option” as that term is described in Section 422(b) of the Code.

     2.2. Exercise Price. The “Exercise Price” of each Option granted under this Section 2
shall be established by the Committee or shall be determined by a method established by the
Committee at the time the Option is granted; except that the Exercise Price shall not be less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par
value of a share of Stock).

 

 

     2.3. Exercise. An Option shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms and
conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee; provided, however, that
Awards granted pursuant to Section 2 (relating to Options) shall have a minimum 1-year vesting
period (subject to acceleration of vesting (i) pursuant to this Plan, or (ii) to the extent
permitted by the Committee, or pursuant to the terms of an applicable Employment Agreement, in the
event of the Participant’s death, disability, retirement, change in control or involuntary
termination). No fewer than 100 shares of Stock may be purchased on exercise of any Option at one
time unless the number purchased is the total number at the time available for purchase under the
Option.

     2.4. Vesting. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, each installment of shares
covered by an Option granted pursuant to Section 2 shall be exercisable on and after the vesting
date for such installment as established by the Committee and/or its delegates and specified in the
applicable Award Memorandum relating to the Award. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the
applicable Award Memorandum: (i) an Option granted pursuant to this Section 2 shall become fully
vested and exercisable upon the Participant’s Date of Termination, if the Date of Termination
occurs by reason of the Participant’s death, Disability, or Retirement; provided, however, that as
a condition of such acceleration of vesting upon the Participant’s Retirement, the Participant
shall execute a restrictive covenant agreement (including, but not limited to, a non-solicitation
of customers and employees covenant) satisfactory to the Company with a term equal to the longest
vesting term being accelerated, and (ii) the Option may be exercised on or after the Participant’s
Date of Termination only as to that portion of the Covered Shares for which it was exercisable as
of the Participant’s Date of Termination, after giving effect to any applicable acceleration of
vesting.

     2.5. Payment of Option Exercise Price. The payment of the Exercise Price of an Option
granted under this Section 2 shall be subject to the following:

	(a)	 	Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 2.5, the full Exercise Price for
shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option shall be paid at the time of such
exercise (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and
described in subsection 2.5(c), payment may be made as soon as practicable after the
exercise). To the extent that an Option Award is exercisable, it may be exercised in whole or
in part by filing a written notice with the Stock Award Administrator of the Company at its
corporate headquarters prior to the date the Option expires. Such notice shall specify the
number of shares of Stock which the Participant elects to purchase, and, subject to subsection
2.5(c), shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for such shares of Stock
indicated by the Participant’s election.

	(b)	 	The Exercise Price shall be payable (i) in cash, (ii) by tendering, by either actual delivery
of shares or by attestation, shares of Stock acceptable to the Committee and valued at Fair
Market Value as of the day of exercise, (iii) by instructing the Company to withhold from the
shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option that number of shares of Stock equal to
the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to satisfy the Exercise Price, or
(iv) in any combination thereof.

- 2 -

 

	(c)	 	Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Memorandum or otherwise specified by the
Committee prior to exercise, a Participant may elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the
exercise of an Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Stock (or a
sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to the
Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax
withholding resulting from such exercise.

	(d)	 	The Committee may provide in an Award Memorandum for any other method of payment of the
Exercise Price upon the exercise of an Option.

     2.6. Expiration. An Option shall expire on the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date,
and the Option shall not be exercisable after:

	(a)	 	except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) below, if the termination occurs for reasons
other than death, Disability, Retirement, or Cause, the three-month anniversary of the
Participant’s Date of Termination;

	(b)	 	if the termination occurs by reason of the Participant’s death, or if the Participant’s death
occurs within three months after the Date of Termination in accordance with subsection (a)
above, the one-year anniversary of the Participant’s Date of Termination;

	(c)	 	if the termination occurs by reason of the Participant’s Disability, or if the holder incurs
a Disability within three months after the Date of Termination in accordance with subsection
(a) above, the one-year anniversary of the Participant’s Date of Termination;

	(d)	 	if the termination occurs by reason of the Participant’s Retirement, the one-year anniversary
of the Participant’s Date of Termination; or
	 
	(e)	 	if the termination occurs by reason of Cause, the Participant’s Date of Termination.

To the extent that any Option granted pursuant to this Section 2 is not exercised prior to (i) a
dissolution of the Company or (ii) a merger or other corporate event that the Company does not
survive, and no provision is made for the assumption, conversion, substitution or exchange of the
Option, the Option shall terminate upon the occurrence of such event.

     2.7. Non-Employee Director Options. Grants of Options to Non-Employee Directors under
the Plan shall be made only in accordance with the terms, conditions and parameters for the
compensation of Non-Employee Directors as established from time to time by the Board and set forth
in writing in the Board Compensation Policy. The Committee may not make other discretionary grants
under the Plan to Non-Employee Directors.

     2.8. Employment Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of subsection 2.4 or clauses
(a)-(e) of subsection 2.6 to the contrary, if a Participant is subject to an Employment Agreement
containing provisions which, by their terms, govern the vesting, exercisability, or other aspects
of any Options granted under the Plan, such terms shall supersede the provisions of subsection 2.4
and clauses (a)-(e) of subsection 2.6 with respect to such Participant’s Options, and if a
Participant is subject to an Employment Agreement containing definitions of cause, disability, or
retirement, such definitions shall supersede the respective definitions of this Plan

- 3 -

 

with respect to such Participant’s Options; provided, however, that the Employment Agreement
shall so supersede such provisions of this Plan only to the extent that the result would be to the
Participant’s benefit.

     2.9. No Repricing. Except for either adjustments pursuant to subsection 5.2(g)
(relating to the adjustment of shares) or decreases approved by the Company’s stockholders, the
Exercise Price for any outstanding Option granted under the Plan may not be decreased after the
date of grant, nor may an outstanding Option be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the
grant of a new Option with a lower exercise price.

SECTION 3

OTHER STOCK AWARDS

     3.1. Definitions. A “Restricted Stock” Award is a grant of shares of Stock, and a
“Restricted Stock Unit” Award is the grant of a right to receive shares of Stock in the future,
with such shares of Stock or right to future delivery of such shares of Stock subject to a risk of
forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating
to completion of service by the Participant, or achievement of performance or other objectives, as
determined by the Committee.

     3.2. Restrictions on Awards. Each Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Unit
Award shall be subject to the following, to the extent applicable:

	(a)	 	Any such Award shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the
Committee shall determine.

	(b)	 	Any portion of any such Award that is not vested as of a Participant’s Date of Termination
shall be forfeited without consideration, except that if a Participant’s Date of Termination
occurs by reason of the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, then any time-based
vesting restrictions on any such Award shall lapse as of the Date of Termination and any
performance-based criteria relating to Awards shall be deemed to be satisfied at the greater
of “target” or actual performance; provided, however, that as a condition of such acceleration
of vesting or deemed satisfaction of performance-based criteria upon the Participant’s
Retirement, the Participant shall execute a restrictive covenant agreement (including, but not
limited to, a non-solicitation of customers and employees covenant) satisfactory to the
Company with a term equal to the longest vesting term being accelerated.

	(c)	 	Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) during the Restricted Period other than by will or by the applicable laws of
descent and distribution.

	(d)	 	Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Memorandum or otherwise provided by the
Committee, the following terms shall apply to Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Units granted under this Section 3:

- 4 -

 

(i) Vesting. The Covered Shares shall be transferred to the Participant free of all
restrictions upon the date they become fully vested. A Participant who ceases to be an
Employee shall forfeit the portion of his or her Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
Award that is not vested as of his or her Date of Termination, after giving effect to any
applicable acceleration of vesting.

(ii) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Dividends, if any, accrued on Restricted
Stock during the Restricted Period shall be credited to the Participant and held by the
Company on behalf of the Participant. The Participant’s interest in the dividends shall
vest on the same date that his or her interest in the Covered Shares vest. In the event
that any portion of the Covered Shares are forfeited, the accrued and unpaid dividends
relating to the Covered Shares also shall be forfeited. A Restricted Stock Unit Award may
provide the Participant with the right to receive dividend equivalent payments with respect
to the Covered Shares, which payments shall be credited to the Participant and held by the
Company on behalf of the Participant, and may be settled in cash or Stock, as determined by
the Committee. Any such settlements, and any such crediting of dividend equivalents or
reinvestment in shares of Stock, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and
contingencies as the Committee shall establish, including the reinvestment of such credited
amounts in Stock equivalents. Subject to subsection 5.2(g), dividend equivalents paid in
Stock with respect to an Award of Restricted Stock Units before the Covered Shares are
earned or vested shall be deemed delivered under the Plan for purposes of applying the share
limits in subsection 5.2.

(iii) Voting. The Participant shall not be prevented from voting the Covered Shares
subject to a Restricted Stock Award merely because those shares are subject to the
restrictions imposed by this Plan; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be
entitled to vote Covered Shares with respect to record dates for any Covered Shares
occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those shares.

(iv) Ownership of Shares. The Covered Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted
Stock Award shall be held by the Company’s stock transfer agent for the benefit of the
Participant until the end of the applicable Restricted Period. The Participant shall be
identified as the beneficial owner of the Covered Shares at the time the shares are issued.

	(e)	 	The Committee may designate whether any Award being granted to any Participant under this
Section 3 is intended to be performance-based compensation. Any such Awards designated as
intended to be performance-based compensation shall be conditioned on the achievement of one
or more Performance Measures, to the extent required by Code Section 162(m) and the
regulations thereunder. For Awards under this Section 3 intended to be performance-based
compensation, the grant of the Awards and the establishment of the Performance Measures shall
be made during the period required under Code Section 162(m).

	(f)	 	If the right to become vested in a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award
granted under this Section 3 is conditioned on the completion of a specified period of service
with the Company or the Subsidiaries, without achievement of Performance Measures or other
performance objectives being required as a condition of either grant or

- 5 -

 

	 	 	vesting, and without it being granted in lieu of other compensation, then the required
period of service for full vesting shall be not less than one year (subject to acceleration
of vesting (i) pursuant to this Plan, or (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee, or
pursuant to the terms of an applicable Employment Agreement, in the event of the
Participant’s death, Disability, Retirement, Change in Control or involuntary termination).

     3.3 Employment Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of subsection 3.2(b) or
3.2(d)(i) to the contrary, if a Participant is subject to an Employment Agreement containing
provisions which, by their terms, govern the vesting or other aspects of any Awards of Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan, such terms shall supersede the provisions
of subsection 3.2 and 3.2(d)(i) with respect to such Participant’s Awards of Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units, and if a Participant is subject to an Employment Agreement containing
definitions of cause, disability, or retirement, such definitions shall supersede the respective
definitions of this Plan with respect to such Participant’s Awards of Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the Employment Agreement shall so supersede such
provisions of this Plan only to the extent that the result would be to the Participant’s benefit.

     3.4 Non-Employee Director Awards. Grants of Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units to Non-Employee Directors under the Plan shall be made only in accordance with the
terms, conditions and parameters for the compensation of Non-Employee Directors as established from
time to time by the Board and set forth in writing in the Board Compensation Policy. The Committee
may not make other discretionary grants under the Plan to Non-Employee Directors.

SECTION 4

CASH INCENTIVE AWARDS

     4.1. Eligibility. The Committee may designate any one or more Eligible Individuals as
Participants eligible to receive Cash Incentive Awards. Subject to this Section 4, a Participant’s
right to receive Cash Incentive Awards shall be contingent on the achievement of performance goals
established by the Committee for the applicable performance period. Cash Incentive Awards granted
under the Plan are intended to be performance-based compensation, and shall comply with the
requirements of this Section 4 to the extent such compliance is determined by the Committee to be
required for the Cash Incentive Awards to be treated as performance-based compensation.

     4.2. Maximum Award. No more than $25,000,000 may be paid to any one individual
pursuant to Cash Incentive Awards granted under the Plan for any annual performance period
(provided that if a performance period is less than one year, the limit shall be subject to a
corresponding pro rata reduction). Subject to Code Section 162(m), if, after amounts have been
earned with respect to Cash Incentive Awards, the delivery of such amounts is deferred, any
additional amounts attributable to earnings during the deferral period shall be disregarded for
purposes of applying the annual dollar limit imposed by this subsection 4.2.

     4.3. Performance Goals. The performance goals established for the performance period
established by the Committee shall be objective (as that term is described in regulations

- 6 -

 

under Code Section 162(m)), and shall be established in writing by the Committee not later
than 90 days after the beginning of the performance period (but in no event after 25% of the
performance period has elapsed), and while the outcome as to the performance goals is substantially
uncertain. The performance goals established by the Committee may be with respect to corporate
performance, operating group or sub-group performance, individual company performance, other group
or individual performance, or division performance, and shall be based on one or more of the
Performance Measures.

     4.4. Attainment of Performance Goals. Subject to subsection 4.5, a Participant
otherwise entitled to receive a Cash Incentive Award for any performance period shall not receive a
settlement of the Award until the Committee has determined that the applicable performance goal(s)
have been attained. To the extent that the Committee exercises discretion in making the
determination required by this subsection 4.4, such exercise of discretion may not result in an
increase in the amount of the payment.

     4.5. Exceptions to Performance Goal Requirement. Except as otherwise provided by the
Committee, if a Participant’s employment terminates because of death, Disability, or Retirement, or
if a Change in Control occurs prior to the Participant’s termination of employment, the
Participant’s Cash Incentive Award shall become fully vested; provided, however, that as a
condition of such acceleration of vesting upon the Participant’s Retirement, the Participant shall
execute a restrictive covenant agreement (including, but not limited to, a non-solicitation of
customers and employees covenant) satisfactory to the Company with a term equal to the longest
vesting term being accelerated.

     4.6. Employment Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of subsection 4.5 to the
contrary, if a Participant is subject to an Employment Agreement containing provisions which, by
their terms, govern the vesting or other aspects of any Cash Incentive Awards granted under the
Plan, such terms shall supersede the provisions of subsection 4.5 with respect to such
Participant’s Cash Incentive Awards, and if a Participant is subject to an Employment Agreement
containing definitions of cause, disability, or retirement, such definitions shall supersede the
respective definitions of this Plan with respect to such Participant’s Cash Incentive Awards;
provided, however, that the Employment Agreement shall so supersede such provisions of this Plan
only to the extent that the result would be to the Participant’s benefit.

     4.7. Non-Performance-Based Cash Incentive Compensation. Nothing in this Section 4
shall preclude the Committee, the Company, or any Subsidiary from granting cash incentive awards
outside of the Plan that are not intended to be performance-based compensation.

SECTION 5

OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION

     5.1. Effective Date. The Plan, as amended and restated hereby, shall be effective
only if and when it is approved by the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s 2006 annual
meeting of its stockholders (the “Effective Date”). If the Plan, as proposed to be amended and
restated hereby, is not approved by the stockholders at the 2006 annual meeting, the Plan shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms as in effect immediately prior to the
2006 annual meeting date, and the term “Effective Date” as used herein shall refer to the date on

- 7 -

 

which the Plan was last approved by the stockholders of the Company. No Awards may be granted
under the Plan after the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date, but the Plan shall remain in
effect as long as any Awards under it are outstanding.

     5.2. Shares Subject to Plan. The shares of Stock for which Awards may be granted
under the Plan shall be subject to the following:

	(a)	 	The shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares
currently authorized but unissued or currently held or, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares, including shares purchased in
the open market or in private transactions.

	(b)	 	Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 5.2, the maximum number of shares of
Stock that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall be
11,200,000 shares of Stock; provided, however, that each share of Stock issued under the Plan
pursuant to a Full Value Award shall reduce the number of available shares of Stock by 3.5
shares.

	(c)	 	To the extent any shares of Stock covered by an Award are not delivered to a Participant or
beneficiary because the Award is forfeited, such shares shall not be deemed to have been
delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for
delivery under the Plan.

	(d)	 	To the extent provided by the Committee in its sole discretion, any Award may be settled in
cash rather than Stock. To the extent any shares of Stock covered by an Award are not
delivered to a Participant or beneficiary because the Award is settled in cash, such shares
shall be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of
shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan (and such shares shall not be added back
to the available share pool under the Plan).

	(e)	 	If outstanding shares of Stock (including shares issued on the date of grant of a Restricted
Stock Award) are tendered to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), or are
withheld from the Award, to satisfy the exercise price or tax liability resulting from an
Award, such tendered or withheld shares shall be deemed to have been delivered to the
Participant for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for
delivery under the Plan (and such shares shall not be added back to the available share pool
under the Plan).

	(f)	 	Subject to subsection 5.2(g), the following additional maximums are imposed under the Plan.

(i) The maximum number of shares that may be covered by Awards granted to any one individual
pursuant to Section 2 (relating to Options) shall be 1,500,000 shares during any one
calendar year period.

(ii) No more than 500,000 shares of Stock may be subject to Awards of Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan to any one individual during any one
calendar-year period. If, after shares have been earned, the delivery is deferred, any

- 8 -

 

additional shares attributable to dividends during the deferral period shall be disregarded
for purposes of applying the annual share limit imposed by this subsection 5.2(f)(ii) and
the overall share limit imposed by subsection 5.2(b).

	(g)	 	If (i) the outstanding securities of the class then subject to this Plan (the “outstanding
shares”) (A) are increased, decreased, exchanged or converted as a result of a stock split
(including a split in the form of a stock dividend), reverse stock split, recapitalization,
spin off or similar event, or (B) are exchanged for or converted into cash, property or a
different number or kind of securities (or if cash, property or securities are distributed in
respect of the outstanding shares), as a result of a reorganization, merger, consolidation,
exchange, spin off, recapitalization, restructuring or reclassification, or (ii) substantially
all of the property and assets of the Company are sold as an entirety, or (iii) the Company is
liquidated and dissolved, then the Committee (or, in the case of Awards made to Non-Employee
Directors, the Board) shall, in such manner and to such extent (if any) as is equitable and
appropriate, make proportionate adjustments in (x) the number and type of shares or other
securities or cash or other property that may be acquired pursuant to Options and other Awards
previously granted under this Plan (and, where applicable, the exercise price thereof so as to
maintain the same aggregate exercise price), (y) the maximum number and type of shares or
other securities, cash, or property that may be issued or delivered pursuant to Options and
other Awards thereafter granted under this Plan, and (z) such other terms as necessarily are
affected by such event. In the case of an extraordinary distribution, merger, reorganization,
consolidation, combination, sale of assets, exchange or spin off, the Committee (or the Board,
in the case of Awards made to Non-Employee Directors) may make provisions for a substitution
or exchange of any or all outstanding Options or other Awards or rights (or for the
securities, cash or property deliverable upon exercise of such outstanding Options or other
Awards or rights), based upon the distribution or consideration payable to holders of the
shares of Stock upon or in respect of such event.

     5.3. General Restrictions. Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts under the
Plan shall be subject to the following:

	(a)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no liability to
deliver any shares of Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under
the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws
(including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933), and the
applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

	(b)	 	To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the
issuance of shares of Stock, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.

     5.4. Tax Withholding. All distributions under the Plan (other than to Non-Employee
Directors) are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, and the Committee may condition the
delivery of any shares or other benefits under the Plan on satisfaction of the applicable
withholding obligations. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, such withholding
obligations may be satisfied (i) through cash payment by the Participant, (ii) through the

- 9 -

 

surrender, by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, of shares of Stock
acceptable to the Committee which the Participant already owns; or (iii) through the surrender of
shares of Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however,
that such shares under this clause (iii) may only be used to satisfy the minimum amount (and not
any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes.

     5.5. Special Provisions related to Section 409A of the Code. 

	(a)	 	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Memorandum to the contrary, to the
extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute “deferred compensation” for purposes
of Section 409A of the Code would otherwise be payable or distributable under the Plan or any
Award Memorandum by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control or the Participant’s
Disability or separation from service, such amount or benefit will not be payable or
distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless (i) the circumstances
giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or separation from service meet the
description or definition of “change in control event,” “disability” or “separation from
service,” as the case may be, in Section 409A of the Code and applicable proposed or final
regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt
from the application of Section 409A of the Code by reason of the short-term deferral
exemption or otherwise. This provision does not prohibit the vesting of any Award or the
vesting of any right to eventual payment or distribution of any amount or benefit under the
Plan or any Award Memorandum.

	(b)	 	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Memorandum to the contrary, to the
extent necessary to avoid the application of Section 409A of the Code, (i) the Committee may
not amend an outstanding Option to extend the time to exercise such Award beyond the later of
the 15th day of the third month following the date at which, or December 31 of the
calendar year in which, the Award would otherwise have expired if the Award had not been
extended, based on the terms of the Award at the original Grant Date (the “Safe Harbor
Extension Period”), and (ii) any purported extension of the exercise period of an outstanding
Award beyond the Safe Harbor Extension Period shall be deemed to be an amendment to the last
day of the Safe Harbor Extension Period and no later.

     5.6. Grant and Use of Awards. Subject to subsections 2.7 and 3.4 (relating to Awards
to Non-Employee Directors), at the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may be granted any
Award permitted under the provisions of the Plan, and more than one Award may be granted to a
Participant. Subject to subsection 2.9 (relating to Option repricing), Awards may be granted as
alternatives to or replacement of awards granted or outstanding under the Plan, or any other plan
or arrangement of the Company or a Subsidiary (including a plan or arrangement of a business or
entity, all or a portion of which is acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary). Subject to the
overall limitation on the number of shares of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the
Committee may use available shares of Stock as the form of payment for compensation, grants or
rights earned or due under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company or a
Subsidiary, including the plans and arrangements of the Company or a Subsidiary assumed in business
combinations.

- 10 -

 

     5.7. Settlement of Awards. The obligation to make payments and distributions with
respect to Awards may be satisfied through cash payments, the delivery of shares of Stock, the
granting of replacement Awards, or combination thereof as the Committee shall determine.
Satisfaction of any such obligations under an Award, which is sometimes referred to as “settlement”
of the Award, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee
shall determine. Subject to applicable tax laws relating to deferred compensation, including Code
Section 409A, the Committee may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment, subject to
such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or
crediting of interest or dividend equivalents, and may include converting such credits into
deferred Stock equivalents. Each Subsidiary shall be liable for payment of cash due under the Plan
with respect to any Participant to the extent that such benefits are attributable to the services
rendered for that Subsidiary by the Participant. Any disputes relating to liability of a
Subsidiary for cash payments shall be resolved by the Committee.

     5.8. Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Awards may not
be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way (whether
by operation of law or otherwise) except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Under no event will Awards be transferable to a third party (which term
shall specifically exclude family members, as defined below) for value. Neither (i) a gift, (ii) a
transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights, nor (iii) a
transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by a
Participant or his or her family members in exchange for an interest in that entity, shall be
deemed to be a transfer for value under this subsection 5.8. The term “family member” for purposes
of this subsection 5.8 shall have the meaning set forth in General Instruction A.1(a)(5) to Form
S-8.

     5.9. Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each election
required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the
Plan, and any permitted modification, or revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the
senior Human Resources manager for the Company, or his or her delegates, at such times, in such
form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the
Plan, as the senior Human Resources manager for the Company, or his or her delegates, shall
require.

     5.10. Agreement With Company. An Award under the Plan shall be subject to such terms
and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
prescribe. All Awards shall be evidenced by a writing with a schedule memorializing the grant of
the Award to the Participant and setting forth certain specifics with respect to the terms and
conditions of the Award. A copy of such document shall be provided to the Participant. Such
document is referred to in the Plan as an “Award Memorandum.”

     5.11. Action by Company or Subsidiary. Any action required or permitted to be taken
by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution of its board of directors, or by action of
one or more members of the board (including a committee of the board) who are duly authorized to
act for the board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of any
stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer of such company.

- 11 -

 

     5.12. Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall include
any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the
singular.

     5.13. Limitation of Implied Rights.

	(a)	 	Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of participation in the Plan,
acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any
Subsidiary whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other
property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in
anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right
to the Stock or amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the
Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that
the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any
person.

	(b)	 	The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will
not give any participating employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or
any Subsidiary, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or
claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in
the Plan, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any rights as a
stockholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions
for receipt of such rights.

     5.14. Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate,
affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and
reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.

     5.15. Heirs and Successors. Awards granted under this Plan shall be binding upon, and
inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring,
whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets and business. If any rights exercisable by the Participant or benefits
deliverable to the Participant under such Award have not been exercised or delivered, respectively,
at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be exercisable by the Designated
Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be delivered to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan. The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries
designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form and at such time
as the Committee shall require. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if
the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been
exercisable by the Participant and any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be exercised
by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a deceased
Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but
dies before the Designated Beneficiary’s exercise of all rights under the Award or before the
complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under the Award, then any rights
that would have been exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary shall be exercised by the legal
representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary, and any benefits

- 12 -

 

distributable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative
of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.

     5.16. Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law provisions
of any jurisdiction.

SECTION 6

CHANGE IN CONTROL

     6.1. Determination of Change in Control. Subject to subsection 6.2 below, a “Change
in Control” shall be deemed to occur for purposes of this Plan upon the occurrence of any one of
the following events:

	(A)	 	An acquisition of any common stock or other “Voting Securities” (as hereinafter defined) of
the Company by any “Person” (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), immediately after
which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act) of twenty five percent (25%) or more of the then outstanding shares of
the Company’s common stock or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding
Voting Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred,
Voting Securities which are acquired in a “Non-Control Acquisition” (as hereinafter defined)
shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. For purposes of
this Plan, (1) “Voting Securities” shall mean the Company’s outstanding voting securities
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and (2) a “Non-Control Acquisition”
shall mean an acquisition by (a) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) an employee
benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (x) the Company, or (y) any
corporation or other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its voting equity
securities or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for purposes
of the definition in this subsection 6.1, a “Subsidiary”), or (c) any Person in connection
with a “Non-Control Transaction” (as hereinafter defined).

	(B)	 	The individuals who, as of the Effective Date, were members of the Board (the “Incumbent
Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board;
provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s common
stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Plan be considered as a member
of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a
member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of
either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated
under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by
or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any
agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or
	 
	(C)	 	The consummation of:

- 13 -

 

	 	(1)	 	A merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving the Company or the sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any
Person or Persons other than a transfer to a Subsidiary, or the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of IndyMac Bank, F.S.B.
to any Person or Persons other than a transfer to a Subsidiary (in each case, a
“Business Transaction”), unless such Business Transaction is a “Non-Control
Transaction.” A “Non Control Transaction” shall mean a Business Transaction where:

	 	(a)	 	the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such
Business Transaction, own directly or indirectly immediately following such
Business Transaction more than sixty percent (60% ) of the combined voting
power of the outstanding Voting Securities of the corporation resulting from
such merger, consolidation or reorganization or purchasing such assets or stock
(the “Surviving Corporation”) in substantially the same proportion as their
ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such Business
Transaction;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board
immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Business
Transaction constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of
directors of the Surviving Corporation, or in the event that, immediately
following the consummation of such Business Transaction, a corporation
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the Voting Securities
of the Surviving Corporation, the board of directors of such corporation; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	no Person other than (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary,
(iii) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof)
maintained by the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary, or (iv)
any Person who, immediately prior to such Business Transaction had Beneficial
Ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the then outstanding Voting
Securities or common stock of the Company, has Beneficial Ownership of
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Surviving
Corporation’s then outstanding Voting Securities or its common stock; or

	(D)	 	The Company’s stockholders approve a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 6.1, a Change in Control shall not be
deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership
of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding common stock or Voting Securities as
a result of the acquisition of common stock or Voting Securities by the Company which, by
reducing the number of shares of common stock or Voting Securities then outstanding, increases
the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person; provided, however,
that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this

- 14 -

 

sentence) as a result of the acquisition of common stock or Voting Securities by the Company, and
after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any
additional common stock or Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding
common stock or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in
Control shall occur.

     6.2. Committee Discretion. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection 6.2, the
Board, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, may, but need not, make an affirmative
determination prior to the consummation of a Business Transaction (as defined in subsection 6.1(C))
that, in light of all circumstances, such Business Transaction will be not be treated as a Change
in Control for purposes of this Plan, by reason of it being in essence a “combination of equals” or
for any other reason. In making any such determination, the Board shall give due consideration,
without limitation, to the likely effect of such transaction(s) on the makeup of the stockholder
base, the Board and the senior management of the Company.

     6.3. Committee Action. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Memorandum or a
written agreement between the Company and a Participant (and approved by the Committee) to the
contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, then all outstanding Awards previously granted to
the Participant hereunder that have not already vested shall vest on the first anniversary of the
Change in Control; provided, however, that in the event that a Participant’s employment with
IndyMac or any successor employer is terminated within one (1) year following a Change in Control
(i) by reason of the Participant’s Disability or death, or (ii) either by the employer without
Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, then all outstanding Awards previously granted to the
Participant hereunder that have not already vested shall vest on the date of such termination of
employment. In the event of such acceleration of “vesting,” each Option shall become immediately
exercisable and outstanding Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted under
Section 3 shall immediately vest free of restrictions, and shall become payable to the Participant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary herein, prior to a Change in Control,
the Committee may in its sole discretion amend this subsection 6.3 to alter the acceleration of
Awards in the event of a Change in Control, including, without limitation, to provide for immediate
acceleration of awards or to prohibit or otherwise limit such acceleration. The Committee may
accord any holder of an Award a right to refuse any acceleration, whether pursuant to the Award
Memorandum or otherwise, in such circumstances as the Committee may approve. In determining
whether and in what manner to accelerate the vesting of Awards under the Plan, the Committee shall
consider the effect thereof under applicable regulatory and financial accounting principles,
including without limitation Section 422 of the Code.

     6.4. Termination or Substitution of Awards. Any Awards that are (or but for a
holder’s rejection of acceleration would have been) accelerated under this Section 6 and that are
not exercised or vested prior to a dissolution of the Company or a reorganization event described
in subsection 6.1 that the Company does not survive shall terminate, provided that if provision has
been made, consistent with the terms hereof, for the substitution, exchange or other settlement of
Awards, such Awards shall be substituted, exchanged or otherwise settled in accordance with such
provision.

- 15 -

 

     6.5. Restoration of Prior Status. Any Awards that are (or but for the holder’s
rejection of the acceleration would have been) accelerated under this Section 6 and that are not
exercised or vested prior to an abandonment or termination of a transaction subject to stockholder
approval that triggered the Change in Control (as evidenced by public announcement, Board
resolution, execution of documents terminating the transaction, or other action or document
objectively confirming such abandonment or termination), shall be restored to their prior status
(except for the effects of the passage of time) as if no Change in Control had occurred.

     6.6. Employment Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to
the contrary, if a Participant is subject to an Employment Agreement containing provisions which,
by their terms, govern the effect of a change in control, such terms shall supersede the provisions
of this Section 6 with respect to such Participant’s Awards, and if a Participant is subject to an
Employment Agreement containing a definition of change in control, such definition shall supersede
the definition of Change in Control set forth in this Section 6 with respect to such Participant’s
Awards; provided, however, that the Employment Agreement shall so supersede such provisions of this
Plan only to the extent that the result would be to the Participant’s benefit.

SECTION 7

COMMITTEE

     7.1. Administration. The authority to control and manage the operation and
administration of the Plan shall be vested in a committee (the “Committee”) in accordance with this
Section 7. The Committee shall be selected by the Board, and shall consist of two or more members
of the Board. If the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board,
the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the
Committee.

     7.2. Powers of Committee. The Committee’s administration of the Plan shall be subject
to the following:

	(a)	 	Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion
to select from among the Eligible Individuals those persons who shall receive Awards, to
determine the time or times of receipt, to determine the types of Awards and the amount or
number of shares covered by the Awards, to establish the terms, conditions, performance
criteria, restrictions, and other provisions of such Awards, and (subject to the restrictions
imposed by subsection 2.9, relating to Option repricing, and by Section 8, relating to
amendments and termination) to modify, accelerate the vesting of, cancel or suspend Awards.

	(b)	 	To the extent that the Committee determines that the restrictions imposed by the Plan
preclude the achievement of the material purposes of the Awards in jurisdictions outside the
United States, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to modify those
restrictions as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to
applicable requirements or practices of jurisdictions outside of the United States.

- 16 -

 

	(c)	 	The Committee will have the authority and discretion to interpret the Plan, to establish,
amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and
provisions specified in any Award Memorandum made pursuant to the Plan, and to make all other
determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

	(d)	 	Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it under the Plan
are final and binding on all persons.

	(e)	 	In controlling and managing the operation and administration of the Plan, the Committee shall
take action in a manner that conforms to the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the
Company, and applicable state corporate law.

     7.3. Delegation by Committee. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or
the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its
responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of
its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it. The Committee also may
delegate to certain officers of the Company the authority to grant Awards pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan, provided that such delegation is set forth in writing and includes all
applicable limitations and parameters to such Awards, and provided further that such Awards are
subsequently ratified by the Committee. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the
Committee at any time. Subject to the foregoing, and except as to the grant of Awards under the
Plan and establishment of the terms of grant under the Plan, all ministerial, non-discretionary
powers of the Committee under the Plan are delegated to the senior Human Resources manager for the
Company and his or her delegates.

     7.4. Information to be Furnished to Committee. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall
furnish the Committee with such data and information as it determines may be required for it to
discharge its duties. The records of the Company and its Subsidiaries as to an employee’s or
Participant’s employment or period of service, termination of employment or service, leave of
absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive on all persons unless determined to be
incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the
Committee such evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the
terms of the Plan.

SECTION 8

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and may amend any Award Memorandum,
provided that no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by
the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary),
adversely affect the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the
Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board; and further provided that
adjustments pursuant to subsection 5.2(g) shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations of this
Section 8; and further provided that the provisions of subsection 2.9 (relating to Option
repricing) cannot be amended unless the amendment is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

Amendment to the

2002 Incentive Plan

(Adopted by the Board of Directors on September 19, 2006)

This Amendment to the IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. 2002 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2002
Plan”), is hereby adopted this 19th day of September, 2006, by the Board of Directors of
IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”).

     The Company adopted the Plan for the purposes set forth therein, and pursuant to Section 8 of
the 2002 Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company has the right to amend the 2002 Plan with
respect to certain matters.

     The Board of Directors has approved and authorized this Amendment to the 2002 Plan.

     The 2002 Plan is hereby amended, effective as of the date hereof, in the following
particulars:

1. By deleting Section 5.2(g) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(g)(i) Mandatory Adjustments. In the event of a nonreciprocal transaction between
the Company and its stockholders that causes the per-share value of the shares of Stock to
change (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights
offering, or large nonrecurring cash dividend), the authorization limits under Section 5.2
shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee (or, in the case of Awards made to
Non-Employee Directors, the Board) shall make such adjustments to the Plan and Awards as it
deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights
immediately resulting from such transaction. Action by the Committee may include: (i)
adjustment of the number and kind of shares of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan;
(ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Awards;
(iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Awards or the measure to be used to
determine the amount of the benefit payable on an Award; and (iv) any other adjustments that
the Committee determines to be equitable. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a
subdivision of the outstanding shares of Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend
payable in shares of Stock, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of
Stock into a lesser number of shares, the authorization limits under Section 5.2 shall
automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Award shall
automatically, without the necessity for any additional action by the Committee, be adjusted
proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor.

(ii) Discretionary Adjustment. Upon the occurrence or in anticipation of any
corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any
merger, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, or any
transaction described in (i) above), the Committee (or, in the case of Awards made to
Non-Employee Directors, the Board) may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that Awards will
be settled in cash rather than shares of Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immediately
vested and

exercisable and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then
exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise
be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that
outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess
of the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Stock, as of a specified date
associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, (v) that performance
targets and performance periods for performance-based compensation will be modified,
consistent with Code Section 162(m) where applicable, or (vi) any combination of the
foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for
different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

(iii) General. Any discretionary adjustments made pursuant to this Section 5.2(g)
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8. To the extent that any adjustments made
pursuant to this Section 5.2(g) cause ISOs to cease to qualify as ISOs, such Options shall
be deemed to be NQOs.”

All other provisions of the 2002 Plan shall remain the same.
