STIPULATION AND CONSENT
TO ISSUANCE OF ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST

                 WHEREAS, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), acting by and through its Regional Director for the West Region (Regional Director), and
based upon information derived from the exercise of its regulatory and supervisory responsibilities, has informed Downey Financial
Corp., Newport Beach, California, OTS Docket No. H-2408 (Holding Company), that the OTS is of the opinion that grounds exist to
initiate an administrative proceeding against the Holding Company pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b);

                 WHEREAS, the Regional Director, pursuant to delegated authority, is authorized to issue Orders to Cease and Desist where a savings association
holding company has consented to the issuance of an order; and

                 WHEREAS, the Holding Company desires to cooperate with the OTS to avoid the time and expense of such administrative cease and desist
proceedings by entering into this Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of Order to Cease and Desist (Stipulation) and, without denying that such grounds exist, but only admitting the statements and conclusions in ¶ 1 below concerning Jurisdiction, hereby
stipulates and agrees to the following terms:

1.           Jurisdiction.

                a.
                Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A., Newport Beach, California (Association), is a “savings association” within the meaning of
12 U.S.C. § 1813(b) and 12 U.S.C. § 1462(4).  Accordingly, the Association is “an insured depository institution” as that term is
defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1813(c);

                a.
                The Association is a wholly owned savings association subsidiary of the Holding Company.  Accordingly, the Holding Company is a
savings and loan holding company within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1467a(a)(1)(D)(i).

                b.
                Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q)(4), the Director of the OTS is the “appropriate Federal banking agency” with jurisdiction to maintain
an administrative enforcement proceeding against a savings association holding company.  Therefore, the Holding Company is subject to
the authority of the OTS to initiate and maintain an administrative cease-and-desist proceeding against it pursuant to 12 U.S.C. §
1818(b) and (b)(9).

2.           OTS Findings of Fact

                Based on findings set forth in the Report of Examination of the Holding Company issued on August 7, 2008, the OTS finds that the
Holding Company has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices.  Specifically, the asset quality, earnings, liquidity planning,
management, and projected capital levels of the Holding Company and the Association are not satisfactory and require strengthening.

3.           Consent.

                The Holding Company consents to the issuance by the OTS of the accompanying Order to Cease and Desist (Order).  The Holding Company
further agrees to comply with the terms of the Order upon the Effective Date of the Order and stipulates that the Order complies with
all requirements of law.

4.           Finality.

                The Order is issued by the OTS under 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b) and upon the Effective Date it shall be a final order, effective and fully
enforceable by the OTS under the provisions of 12 U.S.C. § 1818(i).

5.           Waivers.

                The Holding Company waives the following:

                a.
                The right to be served with a written notice of the OTS’s charges against it as provided by 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b) and 12 C.F.R. Part
509;

                b.
                The right to an administrative hearing of the OTS’s charges as provided by 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b) and 12 C.F.R. Part 509;

                c.
                The right to seek judicial review of the Order, including, without limitation, any such right provided by 12 U.S.C. § 1818(h), or
otherwise to challenge the validity of the Order; and

                d.
                Any and all claims against the OTS, including its employees and agents, and any other governmental entity for the award of fees,
costs, or expenses related to this OTS enforcement matter and/or the Order, whether arising under common law, federal statutes or
otherwise.

6.           OTS Authority Not Affected.

                Nothing in this Stipulation or accompanying Order shall inhibit, estop, bar or otherwise prevent the OTS from taking any other action
affecting the Holding Company if at any time the OTS deems it appropriate to do so to fulfill the responsibilities placed upon the
OTS by law.

7.           Other Governmental Actions Not Affected.

                The Holding Company acknowledges and agrees that its consent to the issuance of the Order is solely for the purpose of resolving the
matters addressed herein, consistent with ¶6 above, and does not otherwise release, discharge, compromise, settle, dismiss, resolve,
or in any way affect any actions, charges against, or liability of the Holding Company that arise pursuant to this action or
otherwise, and that may be or have been brought by any governmental entity other than the OTS.

8.           Miscellaneous.

                a.
                The laws of the United States of America shall govern the construction and validity of this Stipulation and of the Order;

                b.
                If any provision of this Stipulation and/or the Order is ruled to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by the decision of any Court
of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby, unless the Regional Director in his or her sole discretion determines otherwise;

                c.
                All references to the OTS in this Stipulation and the Order shall also mean any of the OTS’s predecessors, successors, and assigns;

                d.
                The section and paragraph headings in this Stipulation and the Order are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation
of this Stipulation or the Order;

                e.
                The terms of this Stipulation and of the Order represent the final agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters
thereof, and constitute the sole agreement of the parties with respect to such subject matters; and

                f.
                The Stipulation and Order shall remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the OTS, acting through its
Regional Director or other authorized representative.

9.           Signature of Directors/Board Resolution.

                Each Director signing this Stipulation attests that he or she voted in favor of a Board Resolution authorizing the consent of the
Holding Company to the issuance of the Order and the execution of the Stipulation.

                 WHEREFORE, the Holding Company, by its Directors, executes this Stipulation.
