fraudulent actions or willful misconduct, or performing the Participant’s duties
in a grossly negligent manner, or
	 
	 	(b)	 	been convicted of, or pleaded nolo contendere with respect to, a

3. PARTICIPATION

     Members of the Management Group will be eligible to participate in the Plan. No employee will
have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to
be selected to receive a future Award. If due to hiring, promotion, or demotion, the Plan
Administrator determines that an employee who is a member of the Management Group (other than an
officer at the level of Senior Vice President or higher) should be eligible to participate in the
Plan for a Plan Year, or that a Participant should cease to be so eligible, in either case, after
the commencement of the Plan Year, then, the Plan Administrator will have the discretion to provide
that such individual will be eligible for a prorated Award, as and to the extent it may determine.
Determinations regarding proration for officers at the level of Senior Vice President and higher
will be made by the Committee, or by the Board of Directors, or by any other person or group
consistent with the Company’s delegation of authority structure.

4. AWARDS

          4.1. TARGET AWARDS. Target Awards will be proposed by management and approved by the
Committee from time to time in accordance with the Company’s then applicable Compensation
Philosophy and Approach.

          4.2. PERFORMANCE GOALS. For each Plan Year, Performance Goals will be established in
accordance with the Company’s then applicable Compensation Philosophy and Approach. Performance
Goals that are corporate goals will be proposed by management to the Committee, and such goals will
be recommended by the Committee to the Board for approval. Performance Goals that are business
unit goals will be established by the Committee or, if so delegated by the Committee, established
by another committee of the Board of Directors.

          Performance Goals that are corporate goals may be adjusted by the Committee as it deems
equitable in recognition of (i) extraordinary or non-recurring events experienced by the Company
during the calendar year, or by any other company whose performance is relevant to the
determination of the amount of any Award hereunder, (ii) changes in applicable accounting rules or
principles or changes in the Company’s or in any other such company’s methods of accounting during
the calendar year, or (iii) the occurrence of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split,
stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, or any other change
in the capital structure of the Company, or of any other such company. Performance Goals that are
established by a committee of the Board of Directors may be adjusted by that committee in a manner
consistent with the previous sentence.

3

 

          4.3. POOLS. For each Plan Year, the Committee or the Board of Directors may establish one or
more pools of a specified dollar amount from which Awards will be paid for one or more designated
groups of employees.

          4.4. DETERMINATION OF AWARDS. The Committee will determine the achievement of Performance
Goals that are corporate goals, and the achievement of Performance Goals that are business unit
goals will be determined by the appropriate committee of the Board of Directors. The actual Award
payable to a Participant will be determined by the Board, an appropriate Committee of the Board, or
management in accordance with the Company’s delegation of authority structure based on (i) the
Participant’s Target Award, (ii) the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved, and
(iii) individual performance, as well as any other criteria determined by the Company to be
relevant.

          4.5. PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Awards will be paid
no later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the close of the Plan Year for which Awards are made,
unless the Participant has elected to defer payment under a separate Fannie Mae deferred compensation plan or program.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 or in an applicable
employment agreement with the Company, it is a condition precedent to the payment of any Award that
the Participant be employed in active status through the date the Award is paid (or credited in the
case of a Participant who has elected to defer payment of the Award pursuant to the terms of an
applicable Fannie Mae deferred compensation plan).

5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

          5.1. DEATH OR DISABILITY. If a Participant’s active status as an employee with the Company
terminates due to death or Disability and the Participant has been actively employed at least one
month during the Plan Year, the Participant or his or her beneficiary, as the case may be, will be
paid a prorated Award for such year in accordance with Section 4.5.

          5.2. CAUSE. If a Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for Cause, the right
to the payment of an Award in respect of a Plan Year and all other rights under this Plan will be
forfeited, and no Award will be made hereunder to or in respect of such Participant.

          5.3. RETIREMENT. If (i) a Participant’s employment with the Company terminates due to
Retirement, (ii) the Participant has been actively employed at least one month during the Plan
Year, and (iii) the Plan Administrator determines that it is appropriate, then the Participant will
be paid a prorated Award for such year in accordance with Section 4.5.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, determinations regarding proration for officers at the level of
Senior Vice President and higher will be made in a manner consistent with the Company’s delegation of
authority structure.

4

 

          5.4. SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENT. If a Participant’s employment with the Company terminates and the
Participant is a party to a severance arrangement with the Company that specifically addresses the
payment of the Award, the Participant’s Award will be paid in accordance with the severance
arrangement.

          5.5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. All references in the Plan to a
“termination of employment” and correlative terms shall be construed to
require a “separation from service” (as that term is defined in Treasury
Regulations § 1.409A-1(h)) from the Company. The Committee may, but need not,
elect in writing, subject to the applicable limits of Section 409A of the Code, any of the
special elective rules prescribed in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations for
purposes of determining whether a “separation from service” has occurred.
Any such written election shall be deemed part of the Plan.

6. ADMINISTRATION

          6.1. IN GENERAL. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Board of Directors, Committee,
or Plan Administrator (or his or her designee) will have full and complete authority, in the
group’s or individual’s sole and absolute discretion, (i) to exercise all of the powers granted to
the group or individual under the Plan, (ii) to construe, interpret and implement the Plan and any
related document, (iii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to the Plan, (iv) to make
all determinations necessary or advisable in administering the Plan, and (v) to correct any defect,
supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan.

          6.2. DETERMINATIONS. The actions and determinations of the Board of Directors, Committee, the
Plan Administrator, or their designees on all matters relating to the Plan and any Awards,
including the authority to decide whether to pay or not pay an Award in case of a failure to
satisfy a condition precedent, will be final and conclusive. Such determinations need not be
uniform and may be made selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards
under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.

          6.3. BENEFICIARIES. Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any
beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit
under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of
such benefit. Each such designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant,
will be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the
Participant in writing with the Plan Administrator or his or her designee during the Participant’s
lifetime. If a beneficiary designation has not been made, or the beneficiary was not properly
designated (in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator), has died or cannot be found, all
payments after death will be paid to the Participant’s estate. In case of disputes over the proper
beneficiary, the Company reserves the right to make any or all payments to the Participant’s
estate.

7. MISCELLANEOUS

          7.1. NONASSIGNABILITY. No Award will be assignable or transferable (including pursuant to a
pledge or security interest) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

5

 

          7.2. TAX WITHHOLDING. The Plan Administrator or its designee may make such provisions and take
such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding by Fannie Mae of all
federal, state, local and other taxes required by law to be withheld from any Award.

          7.3. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. The Board of Directors may, with prospective or retroactive
effect, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, and delegates to
the Committee the authority to adopt amendments which may be necessary or appropriate to facilitate
the administration, management, and interpretation of the Plan or to conform the Plan to the
Committee’s administration, management, and interpretation of the Plan; provided, that, any such
amendment does not significantly affect the cost to the Company of maintaining the Plan. However,
no amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan will be permitted if it would materially and
adversely affect the right of any Participant, without his or her written consent, to earn or
receive an Award for a particular year once such year has commenced.

          7.4. OTHER PAYMENTS OR AWARDS. Nothing contained in the Plan will be deemed in any way to
limit, restrict or require the Company from making or to make any award or payment to any person
under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect.

          7.5. PAYMENTS TO OTHER PERSONS. If payments are legally required to be made to any person
other than the person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan, such payments will be made
accordingly. Any such payment will be a complete discharge of the liability of the Company under
the Plan.

          7.6. UNFUNDED PLAN. Nothing in this Plan will require the Company to place assets in a trust
or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets for the
purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan. Participants will have no rights under the
Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company.

          7.7. NO LIABILITY. No member of the Board, the Committee, or any director, officer or employee
of Fannie Mae will be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise for any
determination made or other action taken or any failure to act by such person in connection with
the administration of the Plan, so long as such person is not determined by a final adjudication to
be guilty of willful misconduct with respect to such determination, action or failure to act.

          7.8. NO RIGHT OF EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Plan will be construed as creating any contract
of employment or conferring upon any employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ or
other service of the

6

 

Company or limit in any way the right of the Company to change such person’s compensation or other
benefits or to terminate the employment or other service of such person with or without Cause.

          7.9. SECTION HEADINGS. The section headings contained herein are for convenience only, and in
the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than the section headings, will control.

          7.10. GOVERNING LAW/CONSTRUCTION/SEVERABILITY.

               (a) Choice of Law. The Plan, the Awards, all documents evidencing Awards, and all other
related documents will be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the District of
Columbia, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

               (b) Severability. If any provision will be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Plan will continue in effect.

          7.11. SECTION 409A. Unless payment, if any, is deferred under a separate program or
arrangement of the Company, Awards under the Plan are intended to be exempt from the rules of
Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as short-term deferrals and
will be construed accordingly.

          7.12. EFFECTIVE DATE. The Plan, as amended and restated, will be effective as of January 1,
2007.

any) in which such Award shall become exercisable or shall vest, and to establish
the expiration date and the events of termination of such Award;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award Documents, to
further define the terms used in the Plan, and to prescribe, amend and rescind
rules and regulations relating to the administration of the Plan;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	to cancel, modify or waive Fannie Mae’s rights with respect to, or
modify, discontinue, suspend or terminate, an Award being granted or an
outstanding Award granted to or held by an Eligible Employee, subject to any
required consents under Section 8.5;
	 
	 	(v)	 	as part of any Eligible Employee’s employment agreement approved by
the Committee, to modify or change an Award;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	to accelerate the vesting of, extend the ability to exercise, or
extend the term of an Award being granted or an outstanding Award; and
	 
	 	(vii)	 	to make all other determinations and take such other actions as
contemplated by the Plan or as may be necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan and the effectuation of its purposes.
	 
	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Articles VI and VII (except
Sections 6.7 and 7.5) relating to Nonmanagement Director Awards shall be automatic
and, to the maximum extent possible, self-effectuating. Ministerial,
non-discretionary actions with respect to implementation of the Plan shall be
performed by individuals who are officers or employees of Fannie Mae at the
direction of the senior ranking officer in the Human Resources department of
Fannie Mae. The senior ranking officer in the Human Resources department of Fannie
Mae may also direct that certain administrative functions shall be performed by
service providers outside of Fannie Mae.

	 	(c)	 	Binding Determinations. Any action taken by, and any inaction of, Fannie
Mae, any Subsidiary, the Board, the Committee or the Benefit Plans Committee relating
or pursuant to the Plan shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or
body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. Subject only to compliance
with the express provisions of the Plan, the Board, the Committee and the Benefit
Plans Committee may act in their absolute discretion in matters within their
authority related to this Plan.

4

 

	 	(d)	 	Reliance on Experts. In making any determination or in taking or not
taking any action under the Plan, the Board, the Committee and the Benefit Plans
Committee may obtain and may rely upon the advice of experts, including professional
advisors to Fannie Mae.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Delegation. The Committee may delegate, subject to such terms and
conditions as it may impose, some or all of its authority under the Plan to one or
more members of the Board or, for Awards to Eligible Employees below the rank of
Senior Vice President, to the senior-ranking officer in the Human Resources
department. In addition, the Committee may delegate ministerial, non-discretionary
functions to individuals who are officers, employees, contractors or vendors of
Fannie Mae.
	 
	 	(f)	 	No Liability. No member of the Board, the Committee or the Benefit Plans
Committee, or director, officer or employee of Fannie Mae or any Subsidiary shall be
liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise for any determination made
or other action taken or any failure to act by such person in connection with the
administration of the Plan, so long as such person is not determined by a final
adjudication to be guilty of willful misconduct with respect to such determination,
action or failure to act.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, each of the members of
the Board, the Committee and the Benefit Plans Committee and each of the directors,
officers and employees of Fannie Mae and any Subsidiary shall be held harmless and be
indemnified by Fannie Mae for any liability, loss (including amounts paid in
settlement), damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered by
virtue of any determinations, acts or failures to act, or alleged acts or failures to
act, in connection with the administration of the Plan so long as such person is not
determined by a final adjudication to be guilty of willful misconduct with respect to
such determination, action or failure to act.

	 	1.4	 	Participation. Awards may be granted by the Committee to Eligible Employees. An
Eligible Employee who has been granted an Award may be granted, if otherwise eligible,
additional Awards if the Committee shall so determine. Nonmanagement Directors shall be
eligible to receive Awards granted automatically under Sections 6.2 and 7.2 and Awards
granted under Sections 6.7 and 7.5.
	 
	 	1.5	 	Shares Available for Awards.

	 	(a)	 	Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.2, the shares of
Common Stock that may be delivered under this Plan shall be shares of Fannie Mae’s
authorized but unissued Common Stock, shares of Common Stock held by Fannie Mae as
treasury shares or shares of Common Stock purchased by Fannie Mae on the open market.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Number of Shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
delivered under Awards granted to Eligible Employees and Nonmanagement Directors
under the Plan shall not exceed 40,000,000 shares, and, subject to such overall
maximum as applied to all Awards, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
may be delivered under Specified Stock Awards (as hereinafter defined) shall not
exceed, in the aggregate, 2,000,000 shares. For purposes of this Section 1.5(b),

	 	(i)	 	a Specified Stock Award is (A) an Award granted pursuant to Article
IV (“Restricted Stock Awards”) that is scheduled to vest in full before the third
anniversary of the date of grant, or (B) an Award granted pursuant to Section 5.1
(“Grants of Performance Share Awards”) with a performance cycle that ends less
than one year from the date of grant, or (C) an Award granted pursuant to Section
5.2 (“Grants of Stock Bonuses”) that is fully and immediately vested or that has
vesting or performance features described in (A) or (B) above;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an Award that is described in both Article IV and Section 5.1 shall
be considered a Specified Stock Award only if it is described in both of clauses
(A) and (B) of Section 1.5(b)(i) above;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	in applying Sections 1.5(b)(i), there shall be disregarded any
Award or Plan provision that could result in accelerated vesting of or delivery
of Common Stock under an Award; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the 40,000,000 and 2,000,000 limitations shall be subject to
adjustment in accordance with Section 8.2.”

5

 

	 	(c)	 	Calculation of Available Shares and Replenishment. A good faith estimate
of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards that will be
satisfied by delivery of shares of Common Stock, plus the number of shares of Common
Stock referenced in calculating an Award paid in cash, shall be reserved from the
number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan. The aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan plus the number of shares
of Common Stock referenced with respect to Awards paid in cash shall reduce the
number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for Awards under the Plan. If
any Award shall expire or be canceled or terminated without having been exercised in
full, or any Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award or other Award shall
not vest or be delivered, the unpurchased, nonvested or undelivered shares of Common
Stock subject thereto or the shares of Common Stock referenced with respect thereto
shall again be available under the Plan. In the case of Awards granted in combination
such that the exercise of one results in a proportionate cancellation of the other,
the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance shall be the greater of
the number that would be reserved if one or the other alone were outstanding. If
Fannie Mae withholds shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 8.4, the number of
shares of Common Stock that would have been deliverable with respect to an Award but
that are withheld pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.4 shall be treated as
delivered, and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock deliverable with
respect to the applicable Award and under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of
shares of Common Stock so withheld, and such withheld shares shall not be available
for additional Awards.

	 	1.6	 	Grant of Awards. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
determine the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Award, the price (if any) to
be paid for such shares or Award and other terms and conditions of the Award. Each Award to
an Eligible Employee shall be evidenced by an Award Document, which, if required by the
Committee, shall be signed by the Eligible Employee. Awards are not restricted to any
specified form or structure and may include, without limitation, the types of Awards set
forth in Articles II, III, IV and V or, without limitation, any other transfers of Common
Stock or any options or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock, or any similar right
with value related to or derived from the value of Common Stock, as may be determined by the
Committee. An Award may consist of one such benefit, or two or more of them in any
combination or alternative.
	 
	 	1.7	 	Award Period. Each Award and all executory rights or obligations under the related Award
Document shall expire on such date (if any) as shall be determined by the Committee.
	 
	 	1.8	 	Limitations on Exercise and Vesting of Awards.

	 	(a)	 	Provisions for Exercise. An Award shall be exercisable or shall vest as
determined by the Committee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Procedure. Any exercisable Award shall be exercised when the person
appointed by the Committee or the Committee’s designee receives written notice of
exercise from the Participant or by any other method, including in electronic form,
approved by the Committee, together with satisfactory arrangements for any required
payment to be made in accordance with Sections 2.2 or 8.4 or the terms of the Award
Document, as the case may be.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Fractional Shares. Fractional share interests shall be disregarded, but
may be accumulated, or the Committee may determine that cash will be paid or
transferred in lieu of any fractional share interests.

	 	1.9	 	Transferability.

	 	(a)	 	General Restrictions. Awards may be exercised only by the Participant; the
Participant’s Personal Representative, if any; the Participant’s Beneficiary, if the
Participant has died; the recipient of an Award by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or, in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, pursuant to a QDRO; in
the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, a person who was a Permitted Transferee at
the time the Option was transferred to such person; a Permitted Transferee’s Personal
Representative, if any; or a Permitted Transferee’s Beneficiary, if the Permitted
Transferee has died. Amounts payable or shares of Common Stock issuable under an
Award shall be paid to (or registered in the name of) the person or persons specified
by the person exercising the Award. Other than (i) by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or, in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, pursuant to a QDRO or
(ii) to a Permitted Transferee in the case of any Nonqualified Stock Option and
(subject to (b), (c), (d), and (e) below), no right or benefit under this Plan or any
Award, whether vested or not vested, shall be transferable by a Participant or
Permitted Transferee or shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation,
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge (other than to Fannie Mae),
and any such attempted action shall be void.

6

 

	 	 	 	Fannie Mae shall disregard any attempt at transfer, assignment or other alienation
prohibited by the preceding sentences and shall pay or deliver such cash or shares of
Common Stock only in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. The designation of a
Beneficiary hereunder shall not constitute a transfer for these purposes.

	 	(b)	 	Tax Withholding. An Eligible Employee may not transfer Options
(“Transferred Options”) to a Permitted Transferee, other than a charitable
organization described in Section 1.2(28)(ii), unless the Eligible Employee agrees to
retain, and not to exercise until the exercise of the Transferred Options, at least
50 percent of the exercisable Options held by the Eligible Employee with the same
exercise price and expiration date as the Transferred Options. The condition set
forth in the first sentence of this Section 1.9(b), however, may be waived at any
time by (A) the Chairman of the Committee in the case of an Eligible Employee who is
either a member of the Board or the senior-ranking officer in the Human Resources
department of Fannie Mae, or (B) the senior-ranking officer in the Human Resources
department of Fannie Mae in the case of any other Eligible Employee, and, as a
condition of such waiver, the Chairman of the Committee or the senior-ranking officer
in the Human Resources department of Fannie Mae, as the case may be, may specify
other steps that the Eligible Employee must take to provide for the collection by
Fannie Mae of all federal, state, local and other taxes required by law to be
withheld upon the exercise of such Transferred Options.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notice of Transfer. A transfer of an Option to a Permitted Transferee
shall not be effective unless, prior to making the transfer, the transferor (i)
provides written notice of the transfer to (A) the Chairman of the Committee in the
case of a transfer by a Participant who is either a member of the Board, the
senior-ranking officer in the Human Resources department of Fannie Mae or the General
Counsel of Fannie Mae (or a transfer by a Permitted Transferee of an Option
originally granted to a member of the Board or to the senior-ranking officer in the
Human Resources department of Fannie Mae), or (B) the senior-ranking officer in the
Human Resources department of Fannie Mae in the case of any other transfer, and (ii)
certifies in writing to the Chairman of the Committee or the senior-ranking officer
in the Human Resources department of Fannie Mae, as the case may be, that the
transfer will be Without Consideration.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Approval of Transfer. A transfer of an Option to a charitable organization
described in section 1.2(28)(ii) shall not be effective unless, after receiving the
notice described in (c) above, the Chairman of the Committee or, after consultation
with the General Counsel of Fannie Mae, the senior-ranking officer in the Human
Resources department of Fannie Mae, as the case may be, either approves the proposed
transfer in writing or does not disapprove the proposed transfer in writing within
ten business days after receipt of such notice. The Chairman of the Committee or,
after consultation with the General Counsel of Fannie Mae, the senior-ranking officer
in the Human Resources department of Fannie Mae, as the case may be, may disapprove a
proposed transfer if he or she determines, in his or her good faith judgment, that
(i) the proposed Permitted Transferee has philosophies, purposes, policies,
objectives, goals or practices inconsistent with those of Fannie Mae or (ii) the
Participant has not taken such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to provide
for the collection by Fannie Mae of all federal, state, local and other taxes
required by law to be withheld upon exercise of the Option.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Transfer of Nonvested Options. A nonvested Option may be transferred only
to an Immediate Family Member described in section 1.2(28)(i) and only with the prior
consent of (A) the Chairman of the Committee in the case of a Participant who is
either a member of the Board, the senior-ranking officer in the Human Resources
department of Fannie Mae or the General Counsel of Fannie Mae, or (B) after
consultation with the General Counsel, the senior-ranking officer in the Human
Resources department of Fannie Mae, after consultation with the General Counsel of
Fannie Mae, in the case of any other Participant.

	 	1.10	 	Section 83(b) Elections. If a Participant shall file an election with the Internal
Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Code to include the value of any Award in the
Participant’s gross income while the Award remains subject to restrictions, the Participant
shall promptly furnish Fannie Mae with a copy of such election.

II. Options

	 	2.1	 	Grants. One or more Options may be granted under this Article II to any Eligible
Employee. Each Option granted may be either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified
Stock Option.
	 
	 	2.2	 	Option Price.

	 	(a)	 	Pricing Limits. The exercise price for shares of Common Stock covered by an Option
shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the Award, but shall not be less than
100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Award Date.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, an Option may not be modified so as to reduce
the exercise price of the Option.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Payment Provisions. The exercise price for any shares of Common Stock purchased on
exercise of an Option granted under this Article II shall be paid in full at the time of
each exercise in one or a combination of the following methods: (i) by electronic funds
transfer; (ii) by check payable to the order of Fannie Mae; (iii) by notice and third
party payment; (iv) by the delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned by the
Participant; or (v) by cashless exercise, or any other method, if permitted by law and
authorized by the Committee, in its discretion, or specified in the applicable Award
Document; provided, however, that the Committee, in its discretion, may limit the
Participant’s ability to exercise an Option by delivering shares of Common Stock,
including by imposing a requirement that the Participant satisfy a minimum holding period
with respect to the shares so delivered. Shares of Common Stock used to satisfy the
exercise price of an Option shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise.

	 	2.3	 	Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. There shall be imposed in any Award Document
relating to Incentive Stock Options such terms and conditions as from time to time are
required in order that the Option be an “incentive stock option” as that term is defined in
Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision.
	 
	 	2.4	 	Option Period.

	 	(a)	 	Award Period. Each Option shall specify the Award Period for which the Option is
granted and shall provide that the Option shall expire at the end of such Award Period.
The Committee may extend the Award Period by amendment of an Option or in an Eligible
Employee’s employment agreement approved by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Award Period with respect to an Incentive Stock Option, including all extensions,
shall not exceed ten years.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Effect of Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
2.4(a), unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in an Eligible Employee’s
employment agreement approved by the Committee, (i) for a Participant whose employment is
terminated for any reason other than for Cause, Retirement, Early Retirement, Total
Disability, death or having attained at least age 55 with at least five years of service
and is not covered by Section 2.5(d), an Option shall expire on the earlier to occur of
(A) the end of the Award Period or (B) the date three months following the Participant’s
termination of employment, (ii) for a Participant whose employment is terminated and is
covered by Section 2.5(d), an Option shall expire on the earlier to occur of (A) the end
of the Award Period or (B) the date 12 months following the Participant’s termination of
employment, (iii) for a Participant whose employment is terminated by reason of
Retirement, Early Retirement, Total Disability, death or having attained at least age 55
with at least five years of service, an Option shall expire on the end of the Award
Period and (iv) for a Participant whose employment is terminated by Fannie Mae for Cause,
an Option shall expire upon the Participant’s termination.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Death of Permitted Transferee. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an
Option held by a Permitted Transferee shall expire on the earlier of the date on which it
would expire pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or (b) or the date 12 months following the
Permitted Transferee’s death.

	 	2.5	 	Vesting; Forfeiture.

	 	(a)	 	Vesting Generally. An Option shall be exercisable and vested upon such terms and
conditions or pursuant to such schedule as the Committee shall determine. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 2.5 or unless otherwise specified by the Committee or
in an Eligible Employee’s employment agreement approved by the Committee, an Option that
is not vested upon a Participant’s termination of employment shall be forfeited. If a
Participant’s employment is terminated by Fannie Mae for Cause, an Option that is not
vested upon the Participant’s termination shall be forfeited.

8

 

	 	(b)	 	Change in Control. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Options that by
their terms shall become immediately exercisable and fully vested upon a Change in
Control Event.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Retirement, Early Retirement, Total Disability or Death. Unless otherwise
specified by the Committee, an Option shall become immediately exercisable and fully
vested upon the Participant’s Total Disability or the Participant’s termination of
employment by reason of Retirement, Early Retirement or death.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Vesting Upon Termination with Separation Agreements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) for a Participant who, prior to the termination of employment, executes a
separation agreement with Fannie Mae pursuant to Fannie Mae’s Voluntary Separation
Agreement program (“VSA”) or Voluntary Separation Option program (“VSO”), one-half of the
portion of each Award that would have vested within 12 months of the date of such
Participant’s termination of employment shall become immediately exercisable and fully
vested upon the Participant’s termination; (ii) for a Participant who accepts Fannie
Mae’s offer to terminate employment voluntarily and, prior to such termination, executes
a separation agreement with Fannie Mae pursuant to an Elective Severance Window under the
Federal National Mortgage Association Discretionary Severance Benefit Plan, the portion
of each Award that would have vested within 12 months of the date of such Participant’s
termination of employment by Fannie Mae, and one-half of the portion of each Award that
would have vested within 13-24 months of the date of termination, shall become
immediately exercisable and fully vested upon termination; and (iii) for a Participant
who, prior to the termination of his or her employment, executes a separation agreement
with Fannie Mae pursuant to a Displacement Program under the Federal National Mortgage
Association Discretionary Severance Benefit Plan or pursuant to the Fannie Mae Individual
Severance Plan, the portion of each Award that would have vested within 12 months of the
date of termination of employment shall become immediately exercisable and fully vested
upon the Participant’s termination. If the Committee approves an employment agreement
with an Eligible Employee that provides for vesting of certain Awards upon the employee’s
termination, such Awards shall vest in accordance with the terms of such Eligible
Employee’s employment agreement.
	 
	 	(e)	 	“EPS Challenge Grants.” Section 2.5(d) shall not apply to Options granted under
the “EPS Challenge Grant” program established by the Board on January 18, 2000 or, if so
provided by the Committee, to Options granted under other special incentive Option
programs.

	 	2.6	 	Option Amendments or Waiver of Restrictions. Subject to Sections 1.5 and 8.5 and the
specific limitations on Awards contained in the Plan, the Committee from time to time may
authorize, generally or in specific cases only, for the benefit of any Participant who is an
Eligible Employee, any adjustment in the vesting schedule, the restrictions upon or the term
of an Award granted under this Article II by amendment, waiver or other legally valid means.
The amendment or other action may provide, among other changes, for a longer or shorter
vesting or exercise period.
	 
	 	2.7	 	Gain Deferral. Any Participant who is eligible to participate in the Fannie Mae Stock
Option Gain Deferral Plan may elect to exercise a Nonqualified Stock Option under the
provisions of such plan.

III. Stock Appreciation Rights

	 	3.1	 	Grants. In its discretion, the Committee may grant to any Eligible Employee Stock
Appreciation Rights either concurrently with the grant of another Award or in respect of an
outstanding Award, in whole or in part, or may grant to any Eligible Employee Stand-Alone
SARs. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option
shall contain such terms as may be required to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of
the Code (or any successor provision). Each Stand-Alone SAR shall specify the Award Period
for which the Stand-Alone SAR is granted and shall provide that the Stand-Alone SAR shall
expire at the end of such Award Period. The Committee may extend the Award Period by
amendment of a Stand-Alone SAR.
	 
	 	3.2	 	Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights.

	 	(a)	 	Related Awards. Unless the Award Document or the Committee otherwise provides, a
Stock Appreciation Right related to another Award shall be exercisable at such time or
times, and to the extent, that the related Award shall be exercisable.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Stand-Alone SARs. Stand-Alone SARs shall be exercisable and vest upon such terms
and conditions or pursuant to such schedule as the Committee shall determine at the time
of the Award. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in

9

 

	 	 	 	an Eligible Employee’s employment agreement approved by the Committee, (i) in the case of
a Participant’s termination of employment for Cause, Stand-Alone SARs shall expire and no
longer be exercisable upon the Participant’s termination; (ii) in the case of a
Participant’s Total Disability or a Participant’s termination of employment by reason of
Retirement, Early Retirement or death or having attained at least age 55 with at least
five years of service, Stand-Alone SARs shall become immediately exercisable and fully
vested upon the Participant’s Total Disability or termination of employment, and
Stand-Alone SARs shall expire and no longer be exercisable at the end of the Award Period;
and (iii) in the case of a Participant’s termination of employment for any reason other
than for Cause, Retirement, Early Retirement, Total Disability or death or having attained
at least age 55 with at least five years of service, Stand-Alone SARs shall expire and no
longer be exercisable on the earlier to occur of (A) the end of the Award Period or (B)
the date three months following the Participant’s termination. The Committee, in its
discretion, may grant Stand-Alone SARs that by their terms shall become immediately
exercisable and fully vested upon a Change in Control Event.

	 	3.3	 	Payment.

	 	(a)	 	Amount. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, upon exercise of a Stock
Appreciation Right and surrender of the appropriate exercisable portion of any related
Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount determined by
multiplying

	 	(i)	 	the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of
Common Stock under the related Award (if applicable) or the initial share value
specified in the Award from the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, by
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the
Participant is exercising the Stock Appreciation Right.

	 	(b)	 	Form of Payment. The Committee, in its discretion, shall determine the form in
which payment shall be made of the amount determined under paragraph (a) above, which may
be solely in cash, solely in shares of Common Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value on
the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right), or partly in shares and partly in
cash. If the Committee permits the Participant to elect to receive cash or shares of
Common Stock (or a combination thereof) on such exercise, any such election shall be
subject to such conditions as the Committee may impose.

IV. Restricted Stock Awards

	 	4.1	 	Grants. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant one or more Restricted Stock Awards
to any Eligible Employee. Each Restricted Stock Award Document shall specify the number of
shares or units of Common Stock to be issued to the Participant, the date of such issuance,
the consideration for the Restricted Stock, if any, to be paid by the Participant, the
restrictions imposed on the Restricted Stock, and the conditions of release or lapse of such
restrictions. Promptly after the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, shares of Common
Stock equal to the number of shares or units as to which the restrictions have lapsed (or
such lesser number as may be permitted pursuant to Section 8.4) shall be delivered or
credited to the Participant or other person entitled under the Plan to receive the shares.
The Participant or such other person shall deliver to Fannie Mae such further assurance and
documents as the Committee may require.
	 
	 	4.2	 	Restrictions.

	 	(a)	 	Pre-Vesting Restraints. Except as provided in Section 1.9, shares or units of
Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of
or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily, until the restrictions have lapsed.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Dividend and Voting Rights. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award
Document, a Participant receiving shares (but not units) of Restricted Stock shall be
entitled to cash dividend and voting rights for all shares of Common Stock issued even
though they are not vested, provided that such rights shall terminate immediately as to
any shares of Restricted Stock that cease to be eligible for vesting. If provided in the
applicable Award Document, a Participant receiving units of Restricted Stock shall be
entitled to cash dividend and voting rights for such units even though they are not
vested, provided that such rights shall terminate immediately as to any units of
Restricted Stock that cease to be eligible for vesting.

10

 

	 	(c)	 	Accelerated Vesting. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in an Eligible
Employee’s employment agreement approved by the Committee, the restrictions on Restricted
Stock shall lapse upon the Participant’s Total Disability or termination of employment by
reason of Retirement, Early Retirement, or death, and, if provided in the applicable
Award Document, restrictions on Restricted Stock held for more than one year from the
Award Date by Participants shall lapse upon a Change in Control Event.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Vesting Upon Termination with Separation Agreements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) for a Participant who, prior to the termination of employment, executes a
separation agreement with Fannie Mae pursuant to Fannie Mae’s Voluntary Separation
Agreement program (“VSA”) or Voluntary Separation Option program (“VSO”), one-half of the
portion of each Award of Restricted Stock that would have vested within 12 months of the
date of such Participant’s termination of employment shall become fully vested upon the
Participant’s termination; (ii) for a Participant who accepts Fannie Mae’s offer to
terminate employment voluntarily and, prior to such termination, executes a separation
agreement with Fannie Mae pursuant to an Elective Severance Window under the Federal
National Mortgage Association Discretionary Severance Benefit Plan, the portion of each
Award of Restricted Stock that would have vested within 12 months of the date of such
Participant’s termination of employment by Fannie Mae, and one-half of the portion of
each Award of Restricted Stock that would have vested within 13-24 months of the date of
termination, shall become fully vested upon termination; and (iii) for a Participant who,
prior to the termination of his or her employment, executes a separation agreement with
Fannie Mae pursuant to a Displacement Program under the Federal National Mortgage
Association Discretionary Severance Benefit Plan or pursuant to the Fannie Mae Individual
Severance Plan, the portion of each Award of Restricted Stock that would have vested
within 12 months of the date of termination of employment shall become fully vested upon
the Participant’s termination. If the Committee approves an employment agreement with an
Eligible Employee that provides for vesting of certain Awards upon the employee’s
termination, such Awards shall vest in accordance with the terms of such Eligible
Employee’s employment agreement.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Forfeiture. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in an Eligible
Employee’s employment agreement approved by the Committee, Restricted Stock as to which
the restrictions have not lapsed in accordance with the provisions of the Award or
pursuant to Section 4.2(c) shall be forfeited upon a Participant’s termination of
employment. Upon the occurrence of any forfeiture of Restricted Stock, the forfeited
Restricted Stock shall be automatically transferred to Fannie Mae without payment of any
consideration by Fannie Mae and without any action by the Participant.

V. Performance Share Awards and Stock Bonuses

	 	5.1	 	Grants of Performance Share Awards.

	 	(a)	 	The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Performance Share Awards to Eligible
Employees. An Award shall specify the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (if any)
subject to the Performance Share Award and its terms and conditions. The Committee shall
establish the specified period (a “performance cycle”) for the Performance Share Award
and the measure(s) of the performance of Fannie Mae (or any part thereof) or the Eligible
Employee. The Committee, during the performance cycle, may make such adjustments to the
measure(s) of performance as it may deem appropriate to compensate for, or reflect, any
significant changes that may occur in accounting practices, tax laws and other laws or
regulations that alter or affect the computation of the measure(s). The Award Document
shall specify how the degree of attainment of the measure(s) over the performance cycle
is to be determined.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In its discretion, the Committee may grant Performance Share Awards which, by their
terms, provide that, upon a Change in Control Event, payments shall be made with respect
to a Performance Share Award held for more than one year from the Award Date by an
Eligible Employee, based on the assumption that the performance achievement specified in
the Award would have been attained by the end of the performance cycle. If the Committee
approves an employment agreement with an Eligible Employee that provides for payments
with respect to a Performance Share Award upon the employee’s termination, payments shall
be made with respect to such Performance Share Awards in accordance with the terms of
such Eligible Employee’s employment agreement.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in an Eligible Employee’s employment
agreement approved by the Committee, if an Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated
because of Retirement, Total Disability or Early Retirement prior to the end of the
performance cycle, but at least 18 months after the first day of the performance cycle,
such Eligible Employee shall receive a pro rata Performance Share Award, calculated as if
the Eligible Employee were employed by Fannie Mae at the end of the performance cycle but
adjusted to reflect the portion of the performance cycle

11

 

	 	 	 	in which the Participant actually was employed by Fannie Mae, payable in full as soon as
practicable after the end of the performance cycle.

	 	(d)	 	Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in an Eligible Employee’s employment
agreement approved by the Committee, if an Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated
because of the Eligible Employee’s death prior to the end of the performance cycle, but
at least 18 months after the first day of the performance cycle, the Eligible Employee
shall receive a pro rata Performance Share Award, payable in full as soon as practicable
after the Eligible Employee’s death, in an amount that is based upon the Committee’s
assessment of the likelihood of Fannie Mae’s success in attaining the performance
measures by the end of the performance cycle and the portion of the performance cycle
during which the Eligible Employee was employed by Fannie Mae, and calculated using the
date of the Eligible Employee’s death as the date for establishing the Fair Market Value
of such Award.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in an Eligible Employee’s employment
agreement approved by the Committee, if, after the end of the performance cycle, an
Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated because of the Eligible Employee’s
Retirement, Total Disability, death or Early Retirement, all portions of the Eligible
Employee’s Performance Share Award not yet paid shall be paid in full as soon as
practicable thereafter, except to the extent subject to a deferral election under Section
5.3.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in an Eligible Employee’s employment
agreement approved by the Committee, any Eligible Employee who is not employed by Fannie
Mae on the last day of a performance cycle or on the date of a scheduled payment of any
portion of a Performance Share Award (determined without regard to any deferral election
under Section 5.3), other than by reason of the Eligible Employee’s Retirement, Total
Disability, death or Early Retirement, shall forfeit such payment and all future payments
with respect to such performance cycle.

	 	5.2	 	Grants of Stock Bonuses. The Committee may grant a Stock Bonus to any Eligible Employee
in such amounts of shares of Common Stock and on such terms and conditions as determined
from time to time by the Committee.
	 
	 	5.3	 	Deferred Payments. The Committee, in its discretion, may permit any Eligible Employee to
defer receipt of a Performance Share Award. Such deferral shall be subject to such further
conditions, restrictions or requirements as the Committee may impose, subject to any vested
rights of the Eligible Employee.

VI. Nonmanagement Director Options

	 	6.1	 	Participation. Awards under this Article VI shall be made only to Nonmanagement Directors.
	 
	 	6.2	 	Annual Option Grants.

	 	(a)	 	Annual Awards. On the first day of the Director Term in 2004 and in each
subsequent year prior to the Plan Termination Date (each of which shall be the Award
Date), there shall be granted automatically (without any action by the Board or the
Committee) to each Nonmanagement Director then in office a Nonqualified Stock Option to
purchase 4,000 shares of Common Stock. Any Nonmanagement Director appointed or elected to
office during a Director Term shall be granted automatically (without any action by the
Board or the Committee) a Nonqualified Stock Option (the Award Date of which shall be the
date such person takes office) to purchase the nearest whole number of shares of Common
Stock equal to 4,000 multiplied by the number of partial or full calendar months
remaining in the Director Term in which the Award is granted divided by 12.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Maximum Number of Shares. Annual grants that would otherwise cause the total
Awards under this Plan to exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock under
Section 1.5(b) shall be prorated to come within such limitation.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Discontinuance of Annual Option Grants. Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a), no
additional annual grants of Nonqualified Stock Options pursuant to Section 6.2(a) shall
be made to Nonmanagement Directors after the grants made with respect to the annual
meeting of the shareholders held in 2004.

12

 

	 	6.3	 	Option Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock covered by each Option
granted under Sections 6.2 or 6.7 shall be 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Award
Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, an Option may not be modified so as to
reduce the exercise price of the Option. The exercise price of any Option granted under this
Article shall be paid in full at the time of each purchase, in cash or by check or in shares
of Common Stock valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option, or
partly in shares and partly in cash.

6.4 Option Period and Ability to Exercise. Each Option granted under Sections 6.2 or 6.7
shall provide that the Option shall expire ten years from the Award Date and shall be
subject to earlier termination as provided below. Each Option granted under Sections 6.2
or 6.7 shall vest and become exercisable over a four-year period at a rate of 25 percent
each year on the anniversary of the date of grant.

	 	6.5	 	Termination of Directorship. If an NMD Participant’s services as a member of the Board
terminate for any reason, any Option granted under Sections 6.2 or 6.7 held by the NMD
Participant shall immediately vest and may be exercised until the earlier of one year after
the date of such termination or the expiration of the stated term of the Option.
	 
	 	6.6	 	Adjustments. Options granted under Sections 6.2 or 6.7 shall be subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 8.2, but only to the extent that such adjustment is based on objective
criteria and is consistent with adjustments to Options or other Awards held by persons other
than Nonmanagement Directors.
	 
	 	6.7	 	Additional Option Awards. Under this Article VI, the Committee may grant additional
Option Awards to Nonmanagement Directors as appropriate, based on market compensation data
or other information or circumstances.

VII. Nonmanagement Director Restricted Stock

	 	7.1	 	Participation. Awards under this Article VII shall be made only to Nonmanagement
Directors. Neither the Plan nor any action taken under the Plan shall give any NMD
Participant the right to be reappointed or renominated to serve as a member of the Board.
	 
	 	7.2	 	Annual Grant of Restricted Stock.

	 	(a)	 	Commencing with the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders held in 2008, each
Nonmanagement Director who is a member of the Board immediately following each annual
meeting of the shareholders of the Company, shall be granted, immediately following such
annual meeting, a Restricted Stock Award in the form of units (rounded down to the
nearest full unit) representing shares of Common Stock. In 2008, this grant shall have an
aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of grant equal to $135,000. In future years, the
amount of the grant shall be equal to $135,000 or such other amount to be determined by
the Board prior to the annual meeting. The Committee may determine, prior to the
scheduled grant date, to substitute Restricted Stock in the form of restricted shares of
Common Stock for the Restricted Stock units granted under Section 7.2.
	 
	 	(b)	 	A Nonmanagement Director who is newly appointed or elected after the annual meeting
of the Company’s shareholders held in 2008 and between annual meetings of the Company’s
shareholders shall be granted upon such appointment or election a pro rata portion of the
Award of Restricted Stock that would have been granted to such newly appointed or elected
Nonmanagement Director under Section 7.2(a) had he or she been a member of the Board on
the date of the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company occurring immediately
prior to his or her election or appointment. The pro rata portion shall be determined by
multiplying the number of units or shares of Restricted Stock that would have been
awarded had the newly appointed or elected Nonmanagement Director been a member of the
Board immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders occurring immediately
prior to his or her election or appointment by a fraction, the numerator of which is
twelve minus the number of full calendar months between such annual meeting and the
Nonmanagement Director’s appointment or election, and the denominator of which is twelve,
with the resulting total rounded down to the nearest full unit or share.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Restricted Stock granted under Sections 7.2(a) and (b) shall become 100 percent
vested on the day before the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders that first
occurs following the date of grant, but in no event later than the one year anniversary
of the date of grant. The Restricted Stock granted under Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) shall
also become 100 percent vested, to the extent not previously vested, upon termination of
the NMD Participant’s membership on the Board because of (i) Total Disability or (ii)
death. Any Restricted Stock that is not vested (or that does not become

13

 

	 	 	 	vested in accordance with the previous sentence) shall be forfeited upon the termination
of the NMD Participant’s membership on the Board.

	 	(d)	 	Unless delivery of the shares has been deferred by the NMD Participant in
accordance with Section 7.3, promptly after, and in all events within 30 days after the
vesting of the Restricted Stock, shares of Common Stock equal to the number of units or
shares which have become vested shall be delivered to the NMD Participant or other person
entitled under the Plan to receive the shares.
	 
	 	(e)	 	An NMD Participant receiving Restricted Stock units shall be entitled to receive
dividend equivalents with respect to the Restricted Stock units. Dividend equivalents
shall be paid in the same amount and at the same time as dividends are paid on the Common
Stock. An NMD Participant receiving shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to cash
dividend and voting rights for all shares of Common Stock issued even though they are not
vested.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The awards of Restricted Stock with a value of $75,000 in 2006 and $90,000 in 2010
provided for in Section 7.2 as originally adopted and approved by the shareholders on May
20, 2003 shall not be granted.

	 	7.3	 	Deferrals. An NMD Participant may elect to defer the shares that the NMD Participant
would otherwise receive pursuant to Section 7.2(d) by submitting an irrevocable deferral
election (in a form provided by the Company) no later than December 31 of the year prior to
the year in which the grant of Restricted Stock is made. Dividend equivalents shall be
credited with respect to the deferred shares at the same time dividends are paid with
respect to the Common Stock, and shall be deemed to be reinvested in additional deferred
shares of Common Stock based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date
credited. Distributions of shares deferred pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be paid in a
single lump-sum distribution (with cash paid for fractional shares) on the first business
day of the month that is six months following the month in which the NMD Participant
separates from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Deferrals made
pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be subject to such other terms and conditions established
by the Company and set forth in a deferral election form and related documents. All
deferrals hereunder shall be accomplished in a manner consistent with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code.
	 
	 	7.4	 	Adjustments. Restricted Stock granted under this Article VII shall be subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 8.2.
	 
	 	7.5	 	Additional Restricted Stock and Other Stock Awards.

	 	(a)	 	Under this Article VII, the Committee may grant additional Restricted Stock Awards
to Nonmanagement Directors as appropriate, based on market compensation data or other
information or circumstances. The Committee may also grant Awards consisting of deferred
Common Stock to Nonmanagement Directors who elect to convert their Nonmanagement Director
retainer payments into deferred Common Stock, in each case consistent with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
	 
	 	(b)	 	An NMD Participant who elects to convert his or her Nonmanagement Director retainer
payments into deferred Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.5(a) shall submit an
irrevocable deferral election (in a form provided by the Company) no later than December
31 of the year prior to the year in which the retainer payments are earned and paid.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, a newly appointed or elected NMD Participant may make an
election to convert the NMD Participant’s retainer payments for the current calendar year
into deferred Common Stock; provided, that, such election is made no later than thirty
days following the Participant’s appointment or election to the Board and applies only to
payments that are earned and paid after the date of the election. Dividend equivalents
shall be credited with respect to the deferred shares at the same time dividends are paid
with respect to the Common Stock, and shall be deemed to be reinvested in additional
deferred shares of Common Stock based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
date credited. Distributions of shares deferred pursuant to this Section 7.5(b) shall be
paid in a single lump-sum distribution (with cash paid for fractional shares) on the
first business day of the month that is six months following the month in which the NMD
Participant separates from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
Deferrals made pursuant to this Section 7.5(b) shall be subject to such other terms and
conditions, consistent with Section 409A of the Code, as may be established by the
Company and set forth in a deferral election form and related documents.

VIII. Other Provisions

	 	8.1	 	Rights of Eligible Employees, Participants and Beneficiaries.

	 	(a)	 	Employment Status. Status as an Eligible Employee shall not be construed as a
commitment that any Award will be made under this Plan to an Eligible Employee or to
Eligible Employees generally.
	 
	 	(b)	 	No Employment Contract. Nothing contained in the Plan (or in any other documents
related to the Plan or to any Award) shall confer upon any Participant any right to
continue in the employ or other service of Fannie Mae or constitute any contract or
agreement of employment or other service, nor shall the Plan interfere in any way with
the right of Fannie Mae to change such person’s compensation or other benefits or to
terminate the employment of such person, with or without cause; provided, however, that
nothing contained in the Plan or any related document shall adversely affect any
independent contractual right of any Participant without the Participant’s consent.

14

 

	 	(c)	 	Plan Not Funded. Awards payable under the Plan shall be payable in shares of
Common Stock or from the general assets of Fannie Mae, and (except as provided in
Section 1.5(c)) no special or separate reserve, fund or deposit shall be made to assure
payment of Awards. No Participant, Beneficiary or other person shall have any right,
title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including shares of Common
Stock, except as expressly otherwise provided) of Fannie Mae by reason of any Award
hereunder. Neither the provisions of the Plan (or of any related documents), nor the
creation or adoption of the Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between Fannie Mae and any Participant, Beneficiary or other person. To the
extent that a Participant, Beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive
payment pursuant to any Award hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right
of any unsecured general creditor of Fannie Mae.

	 	8.2	 	Adjustments.

	 	(a)	 	Events Requiring Adjustments. If any of the following events occur, the Committee
shall make the adjustments described in Section 8.2(b): (i) any recapitalization, stock
split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend), reverse stock split,
reorganization, merger, combination, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of Fannie Mae, (ii) any
issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or other
securities of Fannie Mae (other than to employees) at less than 80 percent of Fair Market
Value on the date of such issuance, (iii) a sale of substantially all the assets of
Fannie Mae, or (iv) any other similar corporate transaction or event with respect to the
Common Stock.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Adjustments to Awards. If any of the events described in Section 8.2(a) occurs,
then the Committee shall, in the manner and to the extent (if any) as it deems
appropriate and equitable, (i) proportionately adjust any or all of (1) the number and
type of shares of Common Stock that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards
(including the specific maximum set forth in Section 1.5), (2) the number, amount and
type of shares of Common Stock subject to any or all outstanding Awards, (3) the grant,
purchase or exercise price of any or all outstanding Awards, (4) the shares of Common
Stock or cash deliverable upon exercise of any outstanding Awards, or (5) the performance
standards appropriate to any outstanding Awards; or (ii) make provision for a cash
payment or for the substitution or exchange of any or all outstanding Awards based upon
the distribution or consideration payable to holders of Common Stock upon or in respect
of the event; provided, however, in each case, that with respect to Awards of Incentive
Stock Options, no adjustment shall be made that would cause the Plan to violate Section
422 or 424(a) of the Code or any successor provisions thereto.

	 	8.3	 	Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and
the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock and the payment of money under the 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 approvals by any listing, regulatory or
governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for Fannie Mae, be necessary or
advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject
to such restrictions, and the person acquiring the securities shall, if requested by Fannie
Mae, provide such assurances and representations to Fannie Mae, as Fannie Mae may deem
necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.
	 
	 	8.4	 	Tax Withholding. Upon any exercise, vesting or payment of any Award or upon the
disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive
Stock Option prior to satisfaction of the holding period requirements of Section 422 of the
Code (or any successor provision), the Committee may make such provisions and take such
steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding by Fannie Mae of all
federal, state, local and other taxes required by law to be withheld, including without
limitation, the right, at its option, to the extent permitted by law (i) to require the
Participant (or Personal Representative or Beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or
provide for payment of the amount of any taxes that Fannie Mae may be required to withhold
with respect to the transaction as a condition to the release of the shares of Common Stock
or the making of any payment or distribution, or (ii)(a) to deduct from any amount payable
in cash, or (b) to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable (or
otherwise reacquire such shares), based upon their Fair Market Value on the date of
delivery, or (c) to grant the Participant the right to elect reduction in the number of
shares upon such terms and conditions as it may establish for the amount of any taxes that
Fannie Mae may be required to withhold.

15

 

	 	8.5	 	Plan Amendment, Termination and Suspension.

	 	(a)	 	Board Authorization. Subject to this Section 8.5, the Board may, at any time,
terminate or amend, modify or suspend the Plan, in whole or in part. No Awards may be
granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan, but the
Committee shall retain jurisdiction as to Awards then outstanding in accordance with the
terms of the Plan.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Shareholder Approval. If any amendment would (i) materially increase the benefits
accruing under the Plan, or (ii) materially increase the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except as provided in Section 8.2), then
to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Board or as required by law or the
rules of the NYSE, such amendment shall be subject to shareholder approval.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Amendments to Awards. Without limiting any other express authority granted under
the Plan, but subject to its express limits, the Committee may waive conditions of or
limitations on Awards, without the consent of the Participant, and may make other changes
to the terms and conditions of Awards that do not affect the Participant’s rights and
benefits under an Award in any materially adverse manner.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards. No amendment, suspension or
termination of the Plan or any change affecting any outstanding Award shall, without the
written consent of the Participant, Beneficiary or Personal Representative, as
applicable, affect in any manner materially adverse to such person any rights or benefits
of any such person or any obligations of Fannie Mae under any Award granted under the
Plan prior to the effective date of such change; however, any changes made pursuant to
Section 8.2 shall not be deemed to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of this
Section 8.5.

	 	8.6	 	Privileges of Stock Ownership. Except as otherwise expressly authorized by the Committee
or the Plan and expressly stated in an Award Document, a Participant shall not be entitled
to any privilege of stock ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually delivered
to and held of record by the Participant. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other
shareholder rights for which a record date is prior to the date of delivery of such shares.
	 
	 	8.7	 	Effective Date of the Plan. The Plan shall be effective as of the date of the meeting at
which the shareholders of Fannie Mae approve it.
	 
	 	8.8	 	Term of the Plan. No Award shall be granted after the Plan Termination Date. Unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Document, any Award may
extend beyond the Plan Termination Date, and all authority of the Committee with respect to
Awards hereunder shall continue during any suspension of the Plan and in respect of Awards
outstanding on the Plan Termination Date.
	 
	 	8.9	 	Governing Law/Construction/Severability.

	 	(a)	 	Choice of Law. The 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 District of Columbia, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Severability. If any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall continue in
effect.

	 	8.10	 	Captions. Captions and headings are given to the sections and subsections of the Plan
solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The headings shall not be deemed in any way
material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or of its provisions.
	 
	 	8.11	 	Effect of Change of Subsidiary Status. For purposes of the Plan and any Award, if an
entity ceases to be a Subsidiary, the employment of all Participants who are employed by
such entity shall be deemed to have terminated, except any Participant who continues as an
employee of another entity within Fannie Mae.
	 
	 	8.12	 	Nonexclusivity of Plan. Nothing in the 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 Stock, under any other plan or authority.

16

 

	 	8.13	 	Plan Binding on Successors. The obligations of Fannie Mae under the Plan shall be
binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of Fannie Mae, or upon any successor corporation or
organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of Fannie Mae.
Fannie Mae agrees that it will make appropriate provisions for the preservation of all
Participants’ rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan that it may enter into or adopt
to effect any such merger, consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.
