	3.
	DEFERRAL ELECTION AND DISCRETIONARY COMPANY CONTRIBUTION.

        3.1    Election to Defer Compensation and Certain Gains.    

        (a)    Compensation.    Any Eligible Employee may elect to defer the receipt of all or any portion of his or her
Compensation for services to be rendered in the immediately following period, as defined by the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish separate elections for any component of
Compensation, including but not limited to, Annual Bonus, other bonus, and distributions from deferred bonus or incentive plans. 

        (b)    Restricted Stock.    Each Eligible Employee may elect to surrender all or a portion of any Restricted Stock
Award, in whole shares, in exchange for a credit to such Eligible Employee's Account,
determined as set forth in Section 4.2(c), provided that such election must be made at least six months before the date on which the restrictions with respect to the subject Restricted Stock
Award lapse. 

        (c)    Gain From Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Options.    

        (i)    Each
Eligible Employee may elect to defer all Qualifying Gain derived from a specific grant of Nonqualified Stock Options in exchange for a credit to such Eligible
Employee's Qualifying Gain Account, in accordance with Section 4.2(d), if (i) an irrevocable deferral election is completed and signed by such Eligible Employee, (ii) such
deferral election is delivered to and accepted by the Committee at least six months before the date on which such Eligible Employee elects to exercise Nonqualified Stock Options (the "Exercised
Options"), (iii) such Eligible Employee pays, through an attestation acceptable to the Committee, the exercise price in shares of Company common stock that the Participant owns and has owned
continuously for the six-month period ending on the date of exercise (the "Mature Shares"), and (iv) such Eligible Employee complies with all other rules the Committee may establish
from time to time. A deferral of Qualifying Gain under this Section 3.1(c) shall be deemed to be (A) a tender of Mature Shares in exchange for an equivalent number of shares pursuant to
the exercise of Nonqualified Stock Options and (B) a conversion of the Participant's right to receive any additional shares related to the Exercised Options into a right to receive deferred
compensation pursuant to the Plan. A deferral election under this Section 3.1(c) shall expire at any time elected by a Participant therein and shall automatically be revoked upon a
Participant's termination of employment or in the event of a change in control or at any other time determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

3

 

        (ii)   The
Plan governs the deferral of Qualifying Gain. The underlying Nonqualified Stock Options are governed by the stock option plan under which they were granted. No
stock options or shares of The Company common stock are authorized to be issued under the Plan. 

        (d)    Performance Shares.    Each Eligible Employee may elect to surrender all or a portion of any Performance Share
Award, in whole shares, in exchange for a credit to such Eligible Employee's Account, determined as set forth in Section 4.2(f) provided that such election must be made at least six months
before the date on which the award is paid out. 

        3.2    Limitation on Elections.    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, any amount to
be deferred under the Plan shall not reduce the current Compensation of the Participant below the total amount that is to be withheld from the Participant's Compensation pursuant to a requirement of
law or pursuant to an elected optional payroll deduction. In addition, the Plan shall not be construed to determine or affect any Participant's entitlement to any bonus. Accordingly, in the event that
a Participant elects to defer a percentage of any potential bonus that is not ultimately awarded, such election shall be null and void. 

        3.3    Effect of Termination on Election.    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, upon
termination of employment, a Participant is no longer eligible to participate in the Plan, and accordingly any previous elections to defer any amounts that relate to payments to be made after
employment has terminated shall be null and void. 

        3.4    Timing, Form and Manner of Election.    The Plan Administration Committee may, in its discretion, establish
rules that govern the timing, form and manner of election, provided that the Plan Administration Committee may not change the requirement that elections pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and
Section 3.1(c) be made at least six months in advance. The Plan Administration Committee may delegate its authority under this Section 3.3 to an individual or committee, at its
discretion. Any rules established under this section shall be in writing and shall be communicated to Participants. 

        3.5    Modification of Election.    With respect to elections to defer all Compensation other than Annual Bonuses and
other bonuses, a Participant's election under Section 3.1 shall continue from calendar year to calendar year until the election is terminated or the election is modified. The Committee may
establish rules governing the modification of an election, including the timing, form and manner of such modifications. 

        3.6    Discretionary Company Contribution.    In its sole discretion, and for the purpose of attracting or retaining
highly qualified employees, the Human Resources Committee may credit an Eligible Employee's account with a contribution known as a Discretionary Company Contribution. Any Discretionary Company
Contribution made on behalf of an Eligible Employee pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall be credited to the Eligible Employee's Account as of a date determined by the Human Resources Committee
and may be subject to such other terms and conditions, including provisions regarding vesting, that are set forth in an individual agreement between the Participant and the Committee setting forth
such terms and conditions. 

        3.7    Director Retainer.    The Governance Committee of the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, credit a
Director's account with a Discretionary Company Contribution, and may attach special rules conditions that apply to such contributions. Except as otherwise specified by the Governance Committee, any
such contributions shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan. 

	4.
	ACCOUNTS.

        4.1    Separate Accounts.    The Committee shall establish a separate Account for each Participant, to which it will
credit each amount required to be credited hereunder. The Account thus established shall be a bookkeeping Account, and shall not grant to any Participant any security interest or other prior right in
any assets of the Company by reason of such credits. 

4

 

        4.2    Timing of Credit.    Subject to Section 5.2(c), the Committee shall credit to each Participant's
Account: 

        (a)   as
of the end of each pay cycle, that portion of such Participant's regular Compensation earned during the immediately preceding pay period for which a deferral election
under Section 3.1 is in effect. 

        (b)   with
respect to each deferral election under Section 3.1 that defers any bonus, commission, variable compensation or other element of Compensation that is not
regular monthly compensation, the amount of the deferral election as of the date the bonus, commission, variable compensation or other Compensation, if any, would be paid by the Company to the
Participant absent an election to defer. 

        (c)   with
respect to any deferral election made by a Participant under Section 3.1(b) (relating to restricted stock), the amount of the value of the surrendered
Restricted Stock Award as of the date the restrictions lapse1. The value of such Restricted Stock Award shall be the number of shares of Restricted Stock surrendered to the Company multiplied by the
closing price of such shares of stock as of the date the restrictions on such stock otherwise would have lapsed pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Award. For these purposes, the closing
price shall be the closing price of the common stock of The Company on the New York Stock Exchange, or on such other national securities exchange or national securities association on which such stock
is then traded. 

        (d)   with
respect to any deferral election made under Section 3.1(c) (relating to Qualifying Gain deferral), to the Participant's Qualifying Gain Account a number of
phantom stock units equal to the value of deferred Qualifying Gain divided by the closing price of The Company common stock on the day preceding the effective date of the Qualifying Gain deferral. For
these purposes, the closing price shall be the closing price of the common stock of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange, or on such other national securities exchange or national securities
association on which such stock is then traded. 

        (e)   with
respect to any Discretionary Company Contribution made with respect to a Participant under Section 3.6, the Committee shall credit to the Participant the
amount of each contribution as of the date specified by the Human Resources Committee. 

        (f)    with
respect to any deferral election made under Section 3.1(d) (relating to Performance Shares), the amount of the value of the surrendered Performance Share
Award as of the date the Award is approved by the Human Resources Committee. The value of such Performance Shares Award shall be the value of the approved payout. 

        4.3    Additional Credits.    

        (a)   Each
Participant's Account shall be credited with additional amounts pursuant to the "Interest Method" set forth in Section 4.3(b)(1), the "Stock Fund Method" set
forth in Section 4.3(b)(2), or effective April 1, 2004, the "Index Fund Method" set forth in Section 4.3(b)(3). The method of crediting shall be elected by the Participant, the
timing, manner and form of which shall be subject to rules established by the Plan Administration Committee, provided that amounts credited to a Participant's Qualifying Gain Account shall not be
subject to such election. The Plan Administration Committee may also establish rules that limit or restrict such elections and may establish rules for modifying such elections from time to time.
Portions of an Account for which there is no effective election shall be credited pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(1). 

        (b)   (1)
With respect to the portion of a Participant's Account credited pursuant to the Interest Method, the Committee shall credit to the Participant's Account interest on
the balance of 

5

 

such
Account subject to the Interest Method at the interest rate in effect the Plan Year, compounded on a daily basis. The applicable interest rate shall be determined as follows: 

        As
of December 1 of each year, commencing with the Effective Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, will establish the applicable interest rate for the following Plan Year
by reference to the interest rate that the Committee determines could be applicable as of such date to any unsecured junior debt offering by Washington Mutual Bank or by a comparable financial
institution or public corporation. Such determination will be made by the Committee, which shall request an estimate of such debt offering interest rate from at least one nationally recognized
investment banking firm. The interest rate so determined will be set forth in writing and kept with the Plan records. 

        (2)   With
respect to the portion of a Participant's Account credited pursuant to the Stock Fund Method, the Committee shall credit or debit such Account to reflect the rate
of return that would have been earned on such portion of the Participant's Account as if such portion had been invested in whole or partial shares of the Company's common stock and received any
dividends paid on such common stock. 

        (3)   Effective
April 1, 2004, with respect to the portion of a Participant's Account credited pursuant to the Index Fund Method, the Committee shall credit or debit
such Account to reflect the rate of return that would have been earned on such portion of the Participant's Account as if such portion had been invested in the funds selected by the Participant from
the funds listed in Appendix A, as amended from time to time. 

        (c)   Each
Participant's Qualifying Gain Account shall be credited with phantom dividend equivalent units equal to the product of the dividend paid on a share of The Company
common stock multiplied by the number of phantom stock units held in the Participant's Qualifying Gain Account on the record date for the cash dividend. Phantom dividend equivalent units credited to
each Participant's Qualifying Gain Account shall be used to "purchase" additional phantom stock units for such Account at a price equal to the closing price of the the Company common stock on the date
such phantom dividend equivalent units are so credited. No fractional phantom stock units shall be credited based on this "purchase." 

        (d)   Notwithstanding
any provisions in this Section 4.3 to the contrary, effective November 1, 2002, upon termination of employment, a Participant shall receive
additional credits exclusively under Section 4.3(b)(1) (the "Interest Method") regardless of any election made by the Participant. 

	5.
	PAYMENT OF ACCOUNT BALANCE.

        5.1    Payment Method.    The Company shall pay the Participant's Account balance under the Plan to such Participant
in accordance with the payment option designated by the Participant pursuant to Section 5.3. In the event of the death of the Participant prior to payment of the entire Account balance, payment
shall be made to such Participant's beneficiary or beneficiaries designated under Section 6 in accordance with the payment method designated by the Participant pursuant to this
Section 5, or in accordance with any accelerated method (including lump sum) as the Plan Administration Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. 

        5.2    Withholding and Offset.    Any payment or other distribution of benefits under the Plan may be reduced or
offset by: 

        (a)   Any
amount required to be withheld by the Company under any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or other requirement, now or hereafter in effect, of any governmental
authority. 

        (b)   Any
outstanding debt, obligation or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company. 

6

 

        (c)   Any
tax withholding required with respect to Compensation deferred hereunder, a deferral credit with respect to surrendered restricted stock or a Discretionary Company
Contribution, if and only if nondeferred Compensation is insufficient for such required withholding. 

        5.3    Election of Payment Options.    At the time of making an election under Section 3.1 or within the
prescribed election period after receiving a credit for a Discretionary Company Contribution under Section 3.6 or a Director Retainer under Section 3.7, the Participant shall specify the
payment method and timing in accordance with the following provisions: 

        (a)    Payment Methods.    Participant may elect either: 

        (i)    Payment
of the entire Account balance attributable to such deferral or credit in a single lump sum payment. If a Participant fails to make a payment method election, any
balances attributable to those amount shall be paid out as a single lump sum. In addition, if at the date selected by the Participant for commencement of payment, a Participant's account balance is
less than $100,000, the entire balance will be distributed to the Participant in a lump sum regardless of any election made by the Participant. 

        (ii)   Payment
of the Account balance attributable to such deferral or credit in quarterly installments over a period of up to 10 years, with each installment to be an
amount equal to the Account balance as of the date of payment divided by the number of installments remaining to be paid, including the current installment. This section shall not apply to
Participants whose Account balance does not exceed $100,000 as of the date on which installments would otherwise begin, and such balances shall be paid in accordance with
Section 5.3(a)(i) notwithstanding any election to the contrary. Only the Participant's Account balance when payments commence shall be used to determine installment payments. 

        (b)    Payment Commencement.    Payments will commence at the time elected by the Participant at the time of making a
deferral election under Section 3.1 or within a prescribed time after being credited with a Discretionary Company Contribution under Section 3.6 or a Director Retainer under
Section 3.7. Such election shall be irrevocable. The Committee, in its discretion, may establish rules governing commencement of payment elections, including but not limited to rules that
restrict the number of dates a Participant may choose, whether different dates may be selected for different deferrals or contributions, the extent to which different dates will be accepted, and
whether events may be elected or specific dates are required. The payment commencement date may not be modified. If no election is made, the default commencement date is the date of the Participant
terminates his employment. 

        (c)   Payment
options elected under Section 5.3(a) may be modified, subject to rules the Plan Administration Committee may, in its discretion, establish, provided that
in no case will a Participant be permitted to modify a payment option election less than six months prior to the payment commencement date. 

        (d)   All
payments from a Participant's Account shall be in cash. All payments from a Participant's Qualifying Gain Account shall be in the form of whole shares of the Company
common stock equal to the number of phantom stock units held in such Account, rounded down to the nearest whole unit, such shares to be paid from a plan that provides for awards of shares of Company
common stock. 

        5.4    Payment for Unforeseeable Emergency.    A Participant shall not be entitled to withdraw any portion of the
balance of his or her Account except that, in cases of an unforeseeable emergency, the Plan Administration Committee may authorize, on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis and taking into account
other resources reasonably available to the Participant, payment of so much of the Participant's Account as is required to meet the need created by the emergency. 

7

 

        (a)   For
the purposes hereof, an "unforeseeable emergency" exists if the distribution is for one of the following: 

        (i)    Expenses
for medical care described in Section 213(d) of the Code previously incurred by the Participant, his spouse, or his dependents (as defined in Code
Section 152) or necessary for these persons to obtain medical care described in Section 213(d); or 

        (ii)   Payments
necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence. 

        (iii)  Any
immediate and heavy financial needs as deemed by IRS. 

        (b)   In
addition to the foregoing, to be eligible for distribution under this Section 5.4, a Participant: 

        (i)    may
only receive an amount necessary to provide for the immediate and heavy financial need under Section 5.4(a); and 

        (ii)   must
have exhausted all other financial resources available to the Participant under any of the Company's benefit plans, including but not limited to loans and hardship
distributions from the WaMu Savings Plan and sale of shares of Company stock received through one of the Company's equity plans (or exercise of options received under those plans). 

        (c)   A
Participant will be deemed to have met the requirements of Section 5.4(a) if the plan administrator for the WaMu Savings Plan has determined that the
Participant is eligible for a hardship withdrawal under the WaMu Savings Plan, provided that the reason for the distribution is one of the three reasons set forth in Section 5.4(a). If the
Participant is not a participant in the WaMu Savings Plan, the Committee will determine whether or not the Participant is eligible for a distribution under this Section. 

        (d)   Any
Participant who receives a payment under this Section 5.4 shall be ineligible to defer any amounts under Section 3 for a period of six months, and any
election, whenever made to defer any such amounts shall be null and void. 

        5.5    Limitation on Liability.    The Company's maximum liability to make payments hereunder is limited to the amount
of the Participant's Account (including the interest thereon pursuant to Section 4.3). 

        5.6    Upon Death of Participant.    Upon the death of a Participant, his entire balance will be paid to his
Beneficiary, as determined under Section 6, in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible, provided that the balance in his Accounts immediately after his death is less than $100,000. If
his balance immediately after his death is $100,000 or more, the balance will be paid in three annual installments. 

	6.
	BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.

        6.1    Designation of Beneficiary.    A Participant may designate a person or persons as the Participant's beneficiary
or beneficiaries (both primary as well as secondary) to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the event of the Participant's death prior to complete distribution of such Participant's Account
balance under the Plan. The Plan Administration Committee, in its discretion, may establish rules governing the timing, manner and form of beneficiary designations. If one or more designated
beneficiaries survives the Participant, payment will be made in accordance with the beneficiary designation on file. If all of the designated beneficiaries fail to survive the Participant, payment
will be made in accordance with Section 6.3. 

        6.2    Filing New Designation.    The filing of a new beneficiary designation form will cancel all beneficiary
designations previously filed. 

8

 

        6.3    Failure to Designate.    If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary as provided above, or if all
designated beneficiaries predecease the Participant then, the Committee shall direct the distribution of such benefits to the Participant's estate. The Plan Administration Committee may, in its
discretion direct payment to another individual or entity if there is no estate or under other circumstances that would make payment to the estate impossible, impractical or costly. 

        6.4    Death of Beneficiary.    At the death of the beneficiary who is entitled to receive payments hereunder, the
balance (if any) then remaining in the Participant's Account shall be paid in a lump sum to the beneficiary's estate. Such payment shall completely discharge the Company's obligations under the Plan. 

        6.5    Change of Beneficiary.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any beneficiary designation may be
changed by a Participant at any time by the written filing of such change on a form prescribed by the Committee. 

        6.6    Beneficiary Designations Under Other Plan Recognized.    Any beneficiary designation properly executed under
the terms of the WM DC Plan for HCEs shall be given full force and effect under this Plan. 

	7.
	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

        7.1    Appointment.    The Plan Administration Committee has been appointed by the Company to administer the Plan and
serves in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board.. The Board may remove the Committee or appoint a successor committee at any time. If the Plan Administration Committee ceases to exist or is
removed without the appointment of a replacement committee, the Company shall function as the Committee. 

        7.2    Term.    Each member of the Committee shall serve until his or her successor is appointed. Any member of the

        7.4    Powers of Plan Administration Committee.    The Committee shall have full and absolute discretion in the
exercise of its powers hereunder. All exercises of power by the Committee hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties, unless found by a court of competent jurisdiction,

in their official capacities in the administration of the Plan, including all expenses reasonably incurred in their defense, in case the Company fails to provide such defense. 

	8.
	CLAIMS PROCEDURE.

        8.1    Claims Procedure.    The Plan Administrator is responsible for evaluating all claims for reimbursement under
the Plan. The Plan Administrator will decide the claim within a reasonable time not longer than ninety (90) days after it is received. This time period may be extended for an additional ninety
(90) days for matters beyond the control of the Plan Administrator, including cases where a claim is incomplete. The Participant will receive written notice of any extension, including the
reasons for the extension and information on the date by which a decision by the Administrator is expected to be made. 

10

 

        8.2    Benefit Denial.    If the Plan Administrator denies a Participant's claim, in whole or in part, the Participant
will be furnished with a written notice of adverse benefit determination setting forth: 

        a)    The
specific reasons or reasons for the denial; 

        b)    Reference
to the specific Plan provision or provisions on which the denial is based; 

        c)     A
description of any additional material or information necessary for the Participant to complete the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is
necessary; and 

        d)    Appropriate
information as to the steps to be taken if the Participant wishes to appeal the Plan Administrator's determination, including the right to submit written
comments and have them considered, the right to review (on request and at no charge) relevant documents and other information, and the right to file suit under ERISA with respect to any adverse
determination after appeal of the claim. 

        For
purposes of this Section 8, a "claim" means a written request for Plan benefits filed with the Plan Administrator. A mere inquiry or request for information shall not
constitute a claim. 

        8.3    Appealing Denied Claims.    If a Participant's claim is denied in whole or in part, the Participant may appeal
to the Plan Administrator for a review of the denied claim. The appeal must be made in writing within sixty (60) days of the Plan administrator's initial notice of adverse benefit
determination, or a Participant will lose the right to appeal the denial. Failure to make a timely appeal will result in forfeiture of the right to file suit in court, as a Participant will have
failed to exhaust internal administrative appeal rights, which is generally a prerequisite to bringing suit. 

        The
written appeal should state the reasons that the Participant believes the claim should not have been denied and should cite specific provisions of the Plan that support that claim.
It should include any additional facts and/or documents that support the claim. The Participant may also ask additional questions and make written comments, and may review (on request and at no
charge) documents and other information relevant to the appeal. The Plan Administrator will review all written comment submitted with the appeal. 

        8.4    Review Procedure.    The Plan Administrator will review and decide the appeal within a reasonable time not
longer than sixty (60) days after it is submitted and will notify a Participant of its decision in writing. The individual who decides the appeal will not be the same individual who decided the
initial claim denial and will not be that individual's subordinate. If the decision on appeal affirms the initial denial of the claim, the Participant will be furnished with a notice of adverse
benefit determination on review setting forth: 

        a)    The
specific reason(s) for the denial; 

        b)    The
specific Plan provision(s) on which the decision is based; 

        c)     A
statement of the right to review (on request and at no charge) relevant documents and other information; 

        d)    If
the Plan Administrator relied on an "internal rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion" in making the decision, a description of the specific rule,
guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion or a statement that such a rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied on and that a copy of such rule, guideline, protocol, or
other criterion will be provided free of charge to you upon request"; and 

        e)    A
settlement of your right to bring suit under ERISA § 502(a). 

11

        9.1    Amendment.    The Human Resources Committee may at any time amend the Plan, provided that no amendment shall

        9.2    Termination.    

        (a)   The
Human Resources Committee may at any time terminate the Plan, if in its judgment the continuance of the Plan, or the tax, accounting or other effects thereof, would
not be in the best interest of the Company. 

        (b)   Upon
any termination of the Plan under this Section 9.2, the Participant will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan as of the date of such termination, the
remaining deferred Compensation for the balance of the calendar year shall prospectively cease to be deferred for such calendar year, and the Company will pay to the Participant the balance in the
Participant's Account at such times and pursuant to such terms and conditions as the Human Resources Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.

alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, charge, execution, attachment, garnishment or legal process by the creditors of the Participant or the Participant's
beneficiary, and any attempt to do so shall be void, provided that the Plan Administration Committee may, in its discretion, adopt rules governing distributions to former spouses pursuant to court
order in the case of dissolution. 

        10.5    Information.    Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall provide such authorizations,

shall be in form approved by the Committee. The Committee shall not be obligated to determine the accuracy or authenticity of any information provided by any Participant or beneficiary under the Plan
and any payment or other distribution of benefits based thereon shall be binding on

WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC.
  EXECUTIVE TARGET RETIREMENT INCOME PLAN
  
    Effective January 1, 2004
  
    PREAMBLE    
    

        The Executive Target Retirement Income Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by the Human Resources Committee in order to attract and retain top executive talent. The
Plan covers level 1 through 3 executives and is designed to provide retirement income of approximately 55% of final average pay for an executive with twenty-five years of service. The Plan
uses a formula that provides 6.5 times the average final five years salary and bonus, adjusted to the extent executive service is less than 25 years, and offset by balances under other
retirement plans. The balances vest over a five year period based on executive service beginning on or after January 1, 2004. 

        Effective
January 1, 2004, participants in this Plan are not eligible for benefit accruals under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Accumulation Plan (the "SERAP"). 

 
 

ARTICLE I
  NATURE OF PLAN    
    

        1.1   Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide retirement benefits to certain executive
employees of the Company and its affiliates that supplement the benefits accrued under the Retirement Plans. 

        1.2   Nature of Plan. The Plan is an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred
compensation benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees (within the meaning of sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA), and is intended to be exempt from
Parts 2, 3, and 4 of ERISA. 

        1.3   Unfunded Plan. This Plan is established as an unfunded plan of deferred compensation. The
compensation that is payable hereunder and interest that accrues thereon are represented solely by bookkeeping entries on accounts maintained by the Plan Administration Committee. No funds are held in
trust or otherwise segregated for the sole purpose of paying Plan benefits. All Plan benefits are payable solely from the general assets of the Company. Participants and Beneficiaries shall have no
legal or equitable rights, interest or claims in any specific collateral, property or assets of the Company, but shall be general unsecured creditors of the Company until benefits are paid hereunder.
The Company may from time to time reserve assets in a general account or grantor trust owned by the Company for the purpose paying liabilities that are accrued under this Plan.

ARTICLE II
  DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION    
    

        For the purpose of this Plan, the following definitions shall apply unless the context requires otherwise. Words used in the masculine gender shall apply to the
feminine, where applicable, and wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural. The words "Article" or "Section" in this Plan shall
refer to an Article or Section of this Plan unless specifically stated otherwise. Compounds of the word "here," such as "herein" and "hereof" shall be construed to refer to another provision of this
Plan, unless otherwise specified or required by the context. 

3

 

        In
determining the time within which an event or action is to take place for purposes of the Plan, no fraction of a day shall be considered, and any act, the performance of which would
fall on a Saturday, Sunday, holiday observed by the Company, or other non-business day, may be performed on the next following business day. 

        2.1   Accounts. The separate bookkeeping records that are established and
maintained upon termination by the Plan Administration Committee to record any amounts credited on behalf of each Participant under the terms of the Plan. A Participant's Account shall only include
the amounts actually credited thereto by the Committee. 

        2.2   Annual Leadership Bonus. The actual bonus paid under the Leadership Bonus Plan during the Plan
Year. For purposes of this Plan, Annual Leadership Bonus shall also include annual bonuses paid by Washington Mutual Advisors, Inc. and any other annual bonuses that are approved for inclusion
by the Human Resources Committee, in its discretion. 

        2.3   Beneficiary. Any person or fiduciary designated by a Participant who is
or may become entitled to a benefit under the Plan following the death of the Participant; provided, that, in the case of a married Participant, the Participant's Beneficiary shall be the
Participant's surviving spouse unless the Participant's spouse (i) consents in writing to the designation of another party as Beneficiary of all or a part of the benefit to which the
Participant may become entitled under the Plan, (ii) such election designates a Beneficiary which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the consent of the spouse expressly permits
designations by the Participant without any requirement of further spousal consent), (iii) the spouse's consent acknowledges the effect of such election, and (iv) such consent is
witnessed by a notary public or a member of the Plan Administration Committee. Such spousal consent shall not be required if it is established to the satisfaction of the Plan Administration Committee
that such consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located (and any other circumstances the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe by regulations). Any consent by a spouse hereunder
shall be effective only with respect to that spouse. 

        2.4   Change in Control. For purposes of this Plan, Change in Control shall
have the same meaning ascribed to that term in the Participant's Employment Agreement. 

        2.5   Code. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

        2.6   Company. Washington Mutual, Inc. or any successor thereto.

Resources Committee of the Board of Directors. 

        2.8   Compensation. An eligible Employee's base pay and actual Annual Leadership Bonus for the Plan
Year. Compensation shall also include the portion of a Participant's Annual Leadership Bonus, if any, that has been exchanged for stock options under the Incentive Target Replacement Option Plan. For
purposes of this section, an Eligible Employee's base pay will be the base pay established for the Plan Year by the Company's Human Resources Committee. For Employees who first become eligible during
a Plan Year, base pay shall be the base pay set forth in the Eligible Employee's offer letter. 

        2.9   Disabled or Disability. A Participant is Disabled when he is determined to be disabled under the
terms of the WaMu Pension Plan. 

        2.10 Eligible Employee. Any active Employee in level 1, 2 or 3. An Employee
is considered active only if he is on the company payroll and is either working or on paid leave or vacation. Notwithstanding the preceding the Committee may, in its discretion, designate any Employee
as eligible or ineligible.

served on the Company's Executive Committee, or had a title of Executive Vice President of Washington Mutual, Inc. Except for purposes of vesting under Section 3.4, service under this
section shall be credited in terms of months, and any Participant who provides services for one day in any month shall receive credit for a full month of service in that month. Employees who are not
eligible as of the end of the Plan Year but who were eligible employees at any time during the Plan Year will receive partial credit for service under the Plan solely for purposes of
Section 3.4, only full years of Executive Service after December 31, 2003 shall be counted. 

        2.16 Final Average Pay. For purposes of determining benefits under Article 3, Final Average
Pay will be calculated by dividing the Participant's Compensation for the last five Plan Years by five. For purposes of this calculation, Plan Years in which a Participant was no longer an Eligible
Employee as of the end of the Plan Year ("Partial Years") shall not be counted. If a Participant has less than five Plan Years which are not Partial Years ("Full Years") then Final Average Pay shall
be calculated by dividing Compensation for all Full Years by the number of such Full Years.

        3.4   Vested Percentage. A Participants vested Percentage shall be determined using the following
table, considering only full years of Executive Service: 

	Full Years of Executive Service
 
	 	Vested Percentage

	Fewer than 1	 	  0%
	1	 	20%
	2	 	40%
	3	 	60%
	4	 	80%
	5 or more	 	100%

        3.5   Upon Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control a Participant will be credited with additional
years of Executive Service (either 2 or 3) equal to the multiplier used to calculate the payment amount upon termination after a Change in Control as set forth in the Participant's Employment
Agreement. 

6

 

        3.6   Interest Credited to Accounts. Upon termination of employment, Participants who elect to receive
payment in any form other than a lump sum shall be credited with interest on the balance in their account. The rate of interest shall be equal to the rate that would have been paid by the company at
the beginning of the Plan Year had it issued unsecured junior debt with a maturity date of ten years. If the Company did not make such a debt offering at or near the beginning of the Plan Year for
which the interest rate is being determined, the Plan Administration Committee shall, in its discretion, determine this rate by reference to the following: (i) the rates paid on similar debt
offerings of comparably rated financial institutions and (ii) an estimate of the probable interest rate on such debt offering from at least one rationally recognized investment banking firm.
The Committee may, in its discretion, determine the rate for the following Plan Year at any time during the Plan Year.

ARTICLE IV
  PAYMENT OF BENEFITS    
    

        4.1.  Payment Commencement and Automatic Form of Payment. In the absence of any election set forth in
Section 4.2, a Participant shall receive payment of the nonforfeitable balance of his Accounts as a lump sum, commencing as soon as administratively possible after termination of employment
with the Company. However, a Participant may instead elect for payments to be made pursuant to Section 4.2, provided that the balance of his Accounts exceeds $500,000 at the time of
termination. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Participant is a Key Employee as set forth in Section 409A of the Code, payments shall commence no earlier than 6 months after
termination of employment. 

        4.2.  Elective Form of Payment. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, a Participant
may, make an irrevocable election for payments to be made in substantially equal installments paid over a period of up to 20 years, each such payment to be recalculated for interest that is
credited on the unpaid Account balance, provided that the Participant makes such an election at least 12 months prior to the payment commencement date. The Participant's election under this
Section must be made prior to the time that payments would otherwise commence and at least 12 months prior to termination of employment with the Company and all Related Employers. 

        4.3.  Dishonesty. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, the Account of a Participant who has
engaged in dishonesty shall be completely forfeited. For this purpose, dishonesty means that the Participant has engaged in acts of fraud, embezzlement, theft or any other crime of moral turpitude or
has otherwise been dishonest in his or her relationship with the Employer (without necessity of formal criminal proceedings being initiated) and the Participant's employment terminated by either
discharge or resignation, all as determined by the Committee. 

        4.4.  Upon Death of Participant. Upon the death of a Participant, his vested Account balance will be
paid to his Beneficiary, as determined under Section 6, in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible, provided that the balance in his Accounts immediately after his death is less than
$500,000. If his balance immediately after his death is $500,000 or more, the balance will be paid in three annual installments. 

        4.5.  Payment in the Event of Legal Disability. Payments to any Participant, Former Participant, or
Beneficiary shall be made to the recipient entitled thereto in person or upon such recipient's personal receipt, in form satisfactory to the Plan Administration Committee, except when the recipient
entitled thereto shall be under a legal disability, or, in the judgment of the Committee, shall otherwise be unable to apply such payment in furtherance of such recipient's own interest and advantage.
The Committee may, in such event, direct all or any portion of such payments to be made in any one or more of the following ways: 

        (a)   to
such person directly; 

        (b)   to
the guardian or estate of such person; 

7

 

        (c)   to
a relative or friend of such person, to be expended for such person's benefit; or 

        (d)   to
a custodian for such person under any Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. 

        4.6.  Accounts Charged. The Committee shall charge all distributions made to a Participant or to such
Participant's Beneficiary from and against the Accounts of the Participant when made. 

        4.7.  Unclaimed Accounts. Neither the Employer nor the Committee shall be obliged to search for or
ascertain the whereabouts of any Participant or Beneficiary. The Committee, by certified or registered mail addressed to his last known address of record with the Committee or Employer, shall notify
any Participant or Beneficiary that he is entitled to a distribution under this Plan, and the notice shall state the provisions of this Section. If Payment Commencement Date has arrived, and the
Participant or the Beneficiary fails to claim his benefits or make his whereabouts known in writing to the Committee by the date that is immediately prior to three years after the date of
notification, the Participant's Accounts shall be forfeited.

ARTICLE VI
  PARTICIPANT ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS    
    

        6.1   Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant may from time to time designate, in writing, a
Beneficiary to whom his Accounts shall be paid in the event of his death. The Plan Administration Committee shall prescribe the form for the written designation of Beneficiary and, upon the
Participant's filing the form with the Committee, it shall revoke all designations filed prior to that date by the same Participant. A Participant may designate multiple and/or contingent
Beneficiaries. If a Participant fails to name a Beneficiary, or if the Beneficiary named by a Participant predeceases him, 

9

 

the
Beneficiary shall be, first, his spouse at the time of his death, or if he has no surviving spouse, then to his surviving children, the to his surviving parents in equal shares, or if the
Participant has no surviving parents, the to his estate. If the Participant dies after distributions have commenced hereunder but before a complete distribution of his nonforfeitable benefits, payment
of such benefits shall be in a lump sum to the legal representative of the estate of the last to die of the Participant and his Beneficiary. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall direct the
Employer to whom the payments shall be made under this Section. 

        6.2   Personal Data to Plan Administration Committee. Each Participant and Beneficiary must furnish to
the Committee such evidence, data, or information as the Committee considers necessary or desirable for the purpose of administering the Plan. The provisions of this Plan are effective for the benefit
of each Participant upon the condition precedent that each Participant will promptly furnish full, true, and complete evidence, data, and information when requested by the Committee. 

        6.3   Address for Notification. Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall
file with the Committee, in writing, such person's mailing address, and each subsequent change of such mailing address. Any payment or distribution hereunder, and any communication addressed to a
Participant or his Beneficiary, at the last address filed with the Committee, or if no address have been filed, then the last address indicated on the records of the Employer shall be deemed to have
been delivered to the Participant or his Beneficiary on the date that such distribution or communication is deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid. 

        6.4   Place of Payment and Proof of Continued Eligibility. Any payment or distribution hereunder, and
any communication addressed to a Participant or Beneficiary, at the last address filed with the Plan Administration Committee, or if no address has been filed, then the last address indicated on the
records of the Employer shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Participant or Beneficiary on the date that such distribution or communication is deposited in the United States Mail, postage
prepaid. If the Committee, for any reason, is in doubt as to whether benefit payments are being received by the person entitled thereto, it shall, by registered mail addressed to the person concerned,
at the last address of record, notify such person that all unmailed and future retirement income payments shall be henceforth withheld until such person provides the Committee with evidence of
continued life and the proper mailing address for future payments. 

        6.5   Assignment or Alienation. Except as may be specified under a "qualified domestic relations
order," as defined in section 514(b)(7) of ERISA, no benefit payable under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge,
garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary prior to actually being received by the person entitled to the benefit under the terms of the Plan. The Company shall not
in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any person entitled to benefits hereunder. 

        6.6   Information Available. Any Participant or Beneficiary may examine copies of this Plan or any
other instrument under which the Plan was established or is operated. The Plan Administration committee will maintain such documents in its office, or in such other place or places as the Committee
may designate from time to time for examination during reasonable business hours. Upon the written request of a Participant or Beneficiary, the Plan Administration Committee shall furnish him or her
with a copy of such documents. The Plan Administration Committee may make a reasonable charge to the requesting person for the copy so furnished. 

        6.7   Beneficiary's Right to Information. A beneficiary's right to (and the Committees' duty to provide
to the Beneficiary) information or data concerning the Plan shall not arise until the Beneficiary first becomes entitled to receive a benefit under the Plan. 

10

 

        6.8   Claims Procedure. Prior to or upon becoming entitled to receive a benefit hereunder, a
Participant or Beneficiary shall file a claim for such benefit with the Committee at the time and in the manner prescribed thereby. However, the Committee may direct payment of a Participant's
or Beneficiary's benefits hereunder without requiring the filing of a claim therefore, if the Committee has knowledge of such Participant's or Beneficiary's whereabouts. 

        6.9   Appeal Procedure for Denial of Benefits. The Committee shall provide adequate notice in writing
as prescribed pursuant to paragraph (b) below to any Participant or to any Beneficiary ("Claimant") whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied. 

        (a)   Such
notice must be sent within 90 days of the date the claim is received by the Committee unless special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing the claim. Such extension shall not exceed 90 days and no extension shall be allowed unless, within the initial 90 day period, the claimant is sent an extension notice
indicating the special circumstances requiring the extension and specifying a date by which the Committee expects to render its decision. 

        (b)   The
Committee's notice of denial to the Claimant shall set forth the following: 

        (1)   the
specific reason or reasons for the denial; 

        (2)   specific
references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the Committee based its denial; 

        (3)   a
description of any additional material and information needed for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation of why the material or information is
needed; 

        (4)   a
statement that the Claimant may request a review upon written application to the Committee, review pertinent Plan documents, and submit issues and comments in writing; 

        (5)   a
statement that any appeal of the Committee's adverse determination must be made in writing to the Committee within 60 days after receipt of the Committee's
notice of denial of benefits, and that failure to appeal the action to the Committee in writing within the 60-day period will render the Committee's determination final, binding, and
conclusive; and 

        (6)   the
address of the Plan Administration Committee to which the Claimant may forward his or her appeal. 

        (c)   If
the Claimant should appeal to the Committee, the Claimant or a duly authorized representative, may submit, in writing, whatever issues and comments the Claimant deems
pertinent. The Committee shall re-examine all facts related to the appeal and make a final determination as to whether the denial of benefits is justified under the circumstances. The
Committee shall advise the Claimant in writing of its decision on the appeal, the specific reasons for the decision, and the specific Plan provisions on which the decision is based. The notice of the
decision shall be given within 60 days of the Claimant's written request for review, unless special circumstances (such as a hearing) would make the rendering of a decision within the
60 day period infeasible, but in no event shall the Committee render a decision regarding the denial of a claim for benefits later than 120 days after its receipt of a request for
review. If an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the date the extension period
commences. 

        6.10 No Rights Implied. Nothing contained in this Plan, or in any
modification or amendment to the Plan, shall give any Employee, Participant, or any Beneficiary any right to continue employment, or any other legal or equitable right against an Employer, or Employee
of the Employer, or against their agents, except as expressly provided by the Plan. 

11

 

        6.11 Right To Offset For Taxes, Other Obligations. Any payment or other distribution of benefits
under the Plan may be reduced by any amount required to be withheld by the Company under any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or other requirement, now or hereafter in effect, of any
governmental authority. In addition, if a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution under the Plan, and if at such time such Participant has outstanding any debt, obligation or other liability
representing an amount owning to the Company, then the Company may offset such amount owning it against the amount of benefits otherwise distributable to the extent permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE VII
  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION    
    

        7.1   Amendment. The Company shall have the right at any time, without prior notice and without cause,
to amend or terminate the Plan by action of its board of directors or by action of the Human Resources Committee, provided that no such amendment may reduce the Participant's Benefit under
Section 3.1 as of the effective date of the amendment. All amendments shall be in writing and shall state the effective date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, no
amendment of this Plan by the Company or its successor shall have the effect of reducing a Participant's Benefit hereunder, except that the Plan may be amended to add to the list of plans that are
part of the offset under Section 3.3 any plans that Participants become eligible for on or after the date of the Change in Control. 

        7.2   Termination. Upon termination of the Plan, the Company shall pay all

ARTICLE VIII
  MISCELLANEOUS    
    

        8.1   Execution of Receipts and Releases. Any payment to any Participant, or to such Participant's
legal representative or beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, shall to the extent thereof be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Plan. The Plan
Administration Committee may require such Participant, legal representative, or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release therefore in the form determined
by the Committee. Any payment made pursuant to the power herein conferred upon the Plan Administration Committee shall operate as a complete discharge of all obligations of the Employer, the Plan

so made. 

        8.2   Employer Records. Each Employer shall, upon request or as may be
specifically required hereunder, furnish or cause to be furnished, all of the information or documentation which is necessary or required by the Plan Administration Committee to perform its duties and
functions under the Plan. Records of an Employer as to an Employee's or Participant's period of employment, termination of employment and the reason therefore, leaves of absent, reemployment, and
Compensation will be conclusive on all persons, unless determined by the Plan Administration Committee to be incorrect. 

        8.3   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. Any action required
of an Employer may be by resolution of its board of directors or by any person authorized to act on behalf of the Employer.

        8.4   Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held to be illegal or invalid for
any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid
provision had never been included herein. 

        8.5   Notice. Any notice required to be given herein by an Employer or the Plan
Administration Committee, shall be deemed delivered, when (a) personally delivered, or (b) placed in the United States mail, in an envelope addressed to the last address of record the

        8.8   Headings. The titles and headings of Articles and Sections are included
for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construction of the provisions hereof. 

        8.9   Governing Law. All questions arising with respect to the provisions of this Agreement shall be
determined by application of the internal laws of the State of Washington except to the extent Washington law is preempted by federal law.
