INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

(Amended and Restated Effective as of January 1, 2008)

HISTORY AND PURPOSE

     The IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. Deferred Compensation Plan was established effective as of July 1,
1997 as the IndyMac, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan and was assumed by IndyMac Bank, F.S.B.
(“IndyMac Bank”), formerly known as First Federal Savings and Loan Association of San Gabriel
Valley (“First Federal”) effective as of July 1, 2000 following IndyMac Bancorp, Inc.’s (“IndyMac
Bancorp”) (formerly known as INMC Mortgage Holdings, Inc.) acquisition of SGV Bancorp, Inc. (“SGV
Bancorp”), parent company of First Federal, to provide specified benefits to a select group of
management and highly compensated employees and directors who contribute materially to the
continued growth, development, and future business success of IndyMac Bank and its affiliates.
Effective as of January 1, 2001, the INMC Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan was
merged into this Plan and IndyMac Bancorp adopted the Plan for the benefit of a select group of its
employees and directors. The Plan was amended and restated as of September 15, 2003. On August
22, 2007, the Plan was further amended and restated to provide Participants the choice to invest
their Deferred Account Balances and any future deferrals in a Company Stock Account. Effective as
of January 1, 2008 (the “Restatement Date”), the Plan was further amended, restated, and continued
in the form set forth below in order to add certain provisions required to be included in the Plan
pursuant to Code Section 409A. As permitted under guidance issued under Code Section 409A, the
Plan does not contain provisions retroactive to the effective date of Section 409A (January 1,
2005), but the Plan has complied with Section 409A and guidance thereunder since the effective date
of such legislation. Each Participant’s Cash Account Balance on the Restatement Date will be
substituted for the Participant’s Account Balance immediately prior to the Restatement Date, and
each Participant’s Cash Deferral Account on the Restatement Date will equal the Participant’s
Deferral Account immediately prior to the Restatement Date. This Plan shall be unfunded for tax
purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

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

and is deferred, in accordance with Article 3, for any one Plan Year, plus (iii) Dividends

Participant Retired on June 30, 2007, and he or she elected the Annual Installment Method,

after Retirement, the next equal installment shall be payable between January 1 and March 15
(inclusive) of each subsequent Plan Year, and each remaining equal installment shall be

Deduction Limitation” under this Plan. If an Employer determines in good faith prior to a
Change in Control that there is a reasonable likelihood that any compensation paid to a
Participant for a taxable year of the Employer would not be deductible by the Employer solely
by reason of the limitation under Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by
the Employer to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution to the Participant pursuant
to this Plan prior to the Change in Control is deductible, the Employer may defer all or any
portion of a distribution under this Plan. Any amounts deferred pursuant to this limitation
shall continue to be credited with additional amounts in accordance with Section 3.9 below,
even if such amount is being paid out in installments. The amounts so deferred and amounts
credited thereon shall be distributed to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary (in the
event of the Participant’s death) at the earliest possible date, as determined by the Employer
in good faith, on which the deductibility of compensation paid or payable to

successor plan).

of the Annual Director Stock Deferral Amounts; plus (ii) amounts credited in accordance with
all the applicable crediting provisions of this Plan that relate to the Director Stock
Deferral Account; less (iii) all distributions made to the Non-Employee Director or his or her
beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that relate to the Director Stock Deferral Account. This

property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home not otherwise covered by
insurance), or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result
of events beyond the control of the Participant. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
purchase of a home and the payment of college tuition are not unforeseeable emergencies.
Whether a Participant or dependent is faced with an unforeseeable emergency is to be
determined by the Committee based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case, but,
in any case, a distribution on account of unforeseeable emergency may not be made to the
extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from
insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the
liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of
deferrals under the arrangement.

year of employment or service shall be a 12 month period that commences on the Employee’s or
Director’s effective date of hire or service and that, for any subsequent year, commences on
an anniversary of that effective date of hire or service. Any partial year of employment or

its sole discretion. From that group, the Committee shall select, in its sole discretion,
Employees and/or Directors to participate in the Plan.

to and acceptance by the Committee of the required documents.

ARTICLE 3

DEFERRAL COMMITMENTS/CREDITING/TAXES

	3.1	 	Minimum Deferral:

	 	(a)	 	Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, and Directors Fees. Subject to Sections 3.2
and 3.3 below, for each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer his or her Base
Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, and/or Directors Fees, provided that the amounts so
elected for that Plan Year total (or are expected to total), in the aggregate, at least
$2,000. If no election is made, the amount deferred shall be zero.

- 8 -

 

	 	(b)	 	Short Plan Year. If a Participant first becomes a Participant after the first
day of a Plan Year, the minimum deferral pursuant to Section 3.1(a) above shall be an
amount equal to $2,000, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of complete months remaining in the Plan Year and the denominator of which is 12.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation. Subject to Section 3.3 below, for
each Plan Year, a Non-Employee Director may elect to defer his or her Director Stock
Compensation under the Plan. For Director Stock Compensation deferred by a
Non-Employee Director pursuant to Section 3.3, the Non-Employee Director’s Director
Stock Deferral Account shall be credited with Stock Units equal to the number of shares
of Stock as to which the Director has elected deferred receipt. If no election is
made, the amount deferred shall be zero.

	3.2	 	Maximum Deferral:

	 	(a)	 	For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer as his or her Annual Cash
Deferral Amount, Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, and/or Directors Fees, and as his

	Base Annual Salary
	 	25%

defer, as his or her Annual Cash Deferral Amount, with respect to Base Annual Salary,
Commissions, and/or Directors Fees that accrue after the date of entry into the Plan, a
dollar amount up to an amount equal to the limits set forth above multiplied by such
Participant’s total amount of Base Annual Salary, Commissions, and/or Directors Fees
for the entire Plan Year. With respect to Bonus, a Participant may elect to defer only
a portion of such compensation, determined by multiplying the compensation for such
period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the
period during which the compensation is earned, and the denominator of which is the
total number of days in such period.

	3.3	 	Election to Defer; Investment Election; Effect of Election Form:

	 	(a)	 	First Plan Year. In connection with a Participant’s commencement of
participation in the Plan, the Participant shall make an irrevocable deferral election
for the Plan Year in which the Participant commences participation in the Plan, an
Investment Election for such year, and such other elections as the Committee deems
necessary or desirable under the Plan. For these elections to be valid, the Election
Form must be completed by the Participant, timely submitted (in accordance with Section
2.2 above) and accepted by the Committee. If no such Election Form is timely submitted
for the Participant’s first Plan Year, the Participant’s Annual Cash Deferral Amount,
Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount shall
be zero for that Plan Year.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Subsequent Plan Years. For each succeeding Plan Year, an irrevocable deferral
election for that Plan Year, an Investment Election for that Plan Year, and such other
elections as the Committee deems necessary or desirable under the Plan, shall be made
by timely delivering to the Committee, in accordance with its rules and procedures,
before the end of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year for which the election is made,
a new Election Form. If no such Election Form is timely submitted for a Plan Year, the
Participant’s Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or
Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount shall be zero for that Plan Year.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Investment Election. A Participant’s Investment Election for a given Plan Year
shall specify (in increments of twenty-five percent (25%)), the amount of the Annual
Cash Deferral Amount to be allocated to the Participant’s Cash Deferral Account and/or
Company Stock Deferral Account. The Committee may permit Participants to submit new
Investment Elections with respect to a Plan Year during specified periods; provided
that any change in a Participant’s Investment Election shall be prospective only and
shall apply only with respect to the portion of the Annual Cash Deferral Amount which
the Participant earns subsequent to a date specified by the Committee and following
submission the new Investment Election.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Special Investment Election for 2007. In connection with the amendment and
restatement of this Plan, Participants shall be given the opportunity to make an
Investment Election during 2007. Pursuant to such Investment Election, each
Participant shall be entitled to invest all or less than all of his or her Cash Account
Balance, and all remaining deferrals in Plan Year 2007, in the Company Stock Deferral
Account in accordance with Section 3.3(c). If no Investment Election form is timely
submitted for Plan Year 2007, the Participant’s existing Cash Account Balance shall
remain in his or her Cash Account, and no deferrals for Plan Year 2007 shall be
invested in the Company Stock Deferral Account.

- 10 -

 

	3.4	 	Withholding of Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year, the Base Annual Salary portion
of the Annual Cash Deferral Amount shall be withheld from each regularly scheduled Base Annual
Salary payroll in equal amounts, as adjusted from time to time for increases and decreases in
Base Annual Salary. The Incentive Pay, Directors Fees, and/or Dividends portion of the Annual
Cash Deferral Amount shall be withheld at the time the Incentive Pay, Directors Fees, and/or
Dividends are or otherwise would be paid to the Participant, whether or not this occurs during
the Plan Year itself.

	3.5	 	Annual Company Matching Amount. For each Plan Year, a Participant’s Employer, in its sole
discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any amount it desires to that Participant’s
Company Matching Account, which amount shall be for that Participant the Annual Company
Matching Amount for that Plan Year. The amount so credited to a Participant may be smaller or
larger than the amount credited to any other Participant, and the amount credited to a
Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more other Participants receive an
Annual Company Matching Amount for that Plan Year. The Annual Company Matching Amount, if
any, shall be credited as of the last day of the Plan Year. If a Participant is not employed
by that Employer as of the last day of a Plan Year other than by reason of his or her
Retirement or death while employed, the Annual Company Matching Amount for that Plan Year
shall be zero.

	3.6	 	Company Stock Account. The Trustee shall, as soon as practicable following withholding of
the Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, or Directors Fees, as applicable, apply the aggregate
amount of cash that is allocated to the Participants’ Company Stock Account toward the
purchase of a block of shares of Stock. The amount of shares so purchased with respect to any
deferred amount shall be allocated to a Participant (and credited to the Participant’s Company
Stock Account) in the proportion determined by comparing the amount of the Base Annual Salary,
Incentive Pay, and/or Directors Fees elected to allocate to his or her Company Stock Account
to the aggregate amount of deferred amounts which all Participants elected to allocate to
their Company Stock Accounts for such date. For example, if a Participant elects to defer
$1,000 of Base Annual Salary into his or her Company Stock Account and all other Participants
elect to defer an aggregate of $9,000 into their Company Stock Accounts, the Trustee shall
purchase shares of Stock having an aggregate value of $10,000, and the Participant’s Company
Stock Account shall be allocated one-tenth (1/10) of such shares. Dividends paid with respect
to Stock credited to a Participant’s Company Stock Account shall be converted to shares of
Stock as soon as practicable following the payment of the dividend. Other adjustments or
changes to the Stock in general, including changes as a result of mergers or other corporate
transactions, shall be applied to the Stock credited to a Participant’s Company Stock Account.
No interest will be credited with respect to any balance in a Participant’s Company Stock
Account.

	3.7	 	Investment of Trust Assets. The trustees of the Trust shall be authorized, upon written
instructions received from the Committee or investment manager appointed by the Committee, to
invest and reinvest the assets of the Trust in accordance with the

- 11 -

 

	 	 	applicable Trust agreement,
including the disposition of
stock and reinvestment of the
proceeds in one or more
investment vehicles designated
by the Committee.

	3.8	 	Vesting

	 	(a)	 	Cash Deferral Account. A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his
or her Cash Deferral Account, except with respect to any Dividends held in a
Participant’s Cash Deferral Account, which shall vest in accordance with Section
3.8(c).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Company Matching Account. Except as provided in Section 3.8(d), a Participant
shall be vested in each of his or her Annual Company Matching Amounts, if any, and
interest thereon, if any, as follows:

	 	 	 
	 	 	Vested Percentage of

Control, a Participant’s Company Matching Account shall immediately become 100%
vested.

	 	(c)	 	Director Stock Deferral Account. Except as provided in Section 3.8(e), a
Participant shall be vested in each of his or her respective Annual Director Stock
Deferral Amounts, and the Dividends relating to the Stock Units underlying such Annual
Director Stock Deferral Amounts, if any, as follows:

	 	 	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.8(c), in the
event of his or her death, Retirement, termination on account of Disability,

- 12 -

 

	 	 	 	or a Change in Control, a Participant’s Director Stock Deferral Account shall
immediately become 100% vested.

	 	(d)	 	Company Stock Deferral Account. A Participant shall at all times be 100%
vested in his or her Company Stock Deferral Account.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections
3.8(b) or 3.8(c) above or any other Section of this Plan that may be construed to the
contrary, the Participant’s Employer, in its discretion, shall have the right to
suspend and/or cause the Participant to forfeit all rights to receive any or all
payments otherwise due hereunder in respect of such Participant’s Company Matching
Account or Director Stock Deferral Account, if such Participant, at any time, whether
or not employed by that Employer:

	 	(i)	 	works for or conducts or maintains any business, enterprise, or
organization that is in the same line of business or enterprise as any of the
Employers and competes directly or indirectly with any of the Employers, in
violation of the terms of any contractual provisions between the Company, or
any Employer, and the Participant;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	divulges confidential information of any Employer to
competitors of any Employer or any other party not authorized to receive such
information;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	is convicted of a misdemeanor which results in a jail sentence
of one year of more; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	is convicted of a felony.
	 
	 	The foregoing shall apply without regard to whether the Participant’s work,
business, release of information, or conviction, as the case may be, has any
demonstrable adverse effect on the Company or any Employer. Any determination made
by the Participant’s Employer with regard to suspension and/or forfeitures under
this Section 3.8(e) shall be final and conclusive.

	3.9	 	Crediting of Account Balances. In accordance with, and subject to, the rules and procedures
that are established from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion, amounts shall
be credited to a Participant’s Cash Account Balance, Company Stock Account Balance or Director
Stock Account Balance, if applicable, in accordance with the following rules:

	 	(a)	 	Prior to Distribution of Cash Account Balance. Prior to a distribution of any
portion of the Participant’s Cash Account Balance under Articles 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8
below, the Participant’s Cash Account Balance shall be credited with interest on a
daily basis. The interest rate used to credit the Participant’s Cash Account Balance
shall be the rate provided for in Section 3.9(e) below. If a

- 13 -

 

	 	 	 	distribution is made under this Plan, the Participant’s Cash Account Balance shall
be credited with interest until the date on which the distribution is made.

	 	(b)	 	Prior to Distribution of Company Stock Account Balance. In the event that a
Participant elects to invest deferred Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, or Director
Fees into the Company Stock Account, the Employer shall deliver such deferred amounts
to the Trustee as soon as practicable following their withholding (typically, on a
biweekly basis, or such other period that corresponds to the Company’s normal payroll
practices). Within three business days following receipt of such deferred amounts, the
Trustee shall apply the aggregate amount of cash that is allocated to the Participants’
Company Stock Account from such withholding toward the purchase of a block of shares of
Stock. Stock Units shall be credited to the Participant’s Company Stock Account in the
proportion determined by comparing the aggregate amount of the Base Annual Salary,
Incentive Pay, and Director Fees which he or she elected to allocate to his or her
Company Stock Account with respect to such withholding date to the aggregate amount of
deferred amounts which all Participants elected to allocate to their Company Stock
Accounts with respect to such withholding date. For example, if a Participant elects
to defer $1,000 of Base Annual Salary into his or her Company Stock Account for a
payroll period and all other Participants elect to defer an aggregate of $9,000 into
their Company Stock Accounts for the same payroll period, within three business days
following the trustee’s receipt of the withheld amounts, the trustee shall purchase
shares of Stock having an aggregate value of $10,000, and the Participant’s Company
Stock Account shall be credited with a number of Stock Units equal to one-tenth (1/10)
of such shares. Prior to distribution of any portion of the Stock Account Balance
under Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 below, in the event a stock dividend or similar event
has occurred since the date any Stock Units were credited to the Participant’s Company
Stock Deferral Account, a Participant’s Company Stock Deferral Account will be adjusted
in accordance with the provisions of the IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. 2002 Incentive Plan, as
Amended and Restated (or any successor plan) relating to adjustments to reflect
mergers, consolidations, and changes in capitalization of Bancorp. The trustee of the
Trust shall convert cash dividends paid with respect to Stock held in relation to the
Company Stock Account into shares of Stock via purchase of a block of shares of Stock
as soon as practicable following the payment of the dividend, and each Participant’s
Company Stock Account shall be credited with Stock Units in the same manner as
described above for regular deferrals. No interest will be credited with respect to any
balance in a Participant’s Company Stock Account, whether before or after the
allocation of Stock Units.

	 	(c)	 	Prior to Distribution of Director Stock Account Balance. Prior to distribution
of any portion of the Stock Account Balance under Articles 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 below, in
the event a stock dividend or similar event has occurred since the date any Stock Units
were credited to the Participant’s Director Stock Deferral Account, a Participant’s
Director Stock Deferral Account will be

- 14 -

 

	 	 	 	adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. 2002
Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (or any successor plan) relating to
adjustments to reflect mergers, consolidations, and changes in capitalization of
Bancorp.

	 	(d)	 	Installment Distribution. If a Participant’s Cash Account Balance is to be
paid under the Annual Installment Method, such payments shall be determined by
amortizing the Participant’s Cash Account Balance over the number of years elected,
using the interest rate specified in the following sentence. The interest rate to be
used to calculate installment payment amounts shall be a fixed interest rate that is
determined by averaging the interest rate provided for in Section 3.9(e) below for the
Plan Year in which installment payments commence and the interest rate provided for in
Section 3.9(e) below for the two preceding Plan Years. This rate shall be treated as
the nominal rate for making such calculations. If a Participant has completed fewer
than three Plan Years, this average shall be determined using the interest rate
provided for in Section 3.9(e) below for the Plan Years during which the Participant
participated in the Plan. If a Participant’s Stock Account Balance is to be
distributed under the Annual Installment Method, such distributions shall continue to
be adjusted in accordance with Section 3.9(c) above.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Interest Rate. The rate of interest for a Plan Year shall be determined and
announced by the Committee before such Plan Year.

	3.10	 	FICA and Other Taxes. Each Plan Year, the Participant’s Employer shall determine the amount
of FICA and other employment taxes that the Employer must withhold for such Participant. The
Employer shall withhold this amount from that portion of the Participant’s Base Annual Salary
and/or Incentive Pay that is not being deferred under the Plan. If necessary, the Committee
shall reduce the Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or
Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount in order to comply with this Section. In addition, the
Participant’s Employer and/or trustee of the Trust shall withhold from any payments made to
the Participant under this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other
taxes required to be withheld in connection with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to
be determined in the sole discretion of that Employer.

ARTICLE 4

SHORT-TERM PAYOUT; UNFORESEEABLE FINANCIAL EMERGENCIES; WITHDRAWAL ELECTION

	4.1	 	Short-Term Payout. In connection with each election to defer an Annual Cash Deferral Amount,
Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount or Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount, a Participant
may irrevocably elect to receive a future “Short-Term Payout” from the Plan with respect to
all of that Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or Annual
Director Stock Deferral Amount. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Short-Term Payout
shall be equal to the sum of the Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral

- 15 -

 

	 	 	Amount and the Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount elected to be paid as a Short-Term
Payout, plus amounts credited in the manner provided in Section 3.9 above on that amount.
The Short-Term Payout amount shall be payable in a lump sum. Subject to the other terms and
conditions of this Plan, the lump sum payment shall be made, subject to the Deduction
Limitation, within 60 days after the first day of the Plan Year elected by the Participant;
provided that no election shall be effective unless the Plan Year elected is at least three
Plan Years after the last day of the Plan Year to which the Annual Cash Deferral Amount,
Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount relates.
By way of example, if a Short-Term Payout is elected for amounts that are deferred in the
Plan Year commencing January 1, 2010, the Short-Term Payout can become payable no earlier
than the 60 day period commencing on January 1, 2013.

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

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

ARTICLE 5

RETIREMENT BENEFIT

	5.1	 	Retirement Benefit. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, a Participant who Retires shall
receive, as a Retirement Benefit, his or her Cash Account Balance and Stock Account Balance to
the extent that such balances are vested.

	5.2	 	Payment of Retirement Benefit. Prior to Plan Year 2008, a Participant, in connection with
his or her commencement of participation in the Plan, could elect on an Election Form to
receive the Retirement Benefit (i) in a lump sum, or (ii) pursuant to an Annual Installment
Method of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years. Unless and until otherwise determined by the Committee,
Participants shall not be permitted to elect to receive distributions pursuant to an Annual
Installment Method with respect to amounts first earned and deferred in Plan Years subsequent
to 2007. The Committee may, in its

- 16 -

 

	 	 	discretion, permit the use of the Annual Installment Method in the future by adopting a new
Election Form which includes such payment method as an election alternative. In the event
that the Committee permits the use of the Annual Installment Method in the future,
Participants will only be permitted to make such election prospectively with respect to
amounts which are earned and deferred subsequent thereto. To the extent that the Committee
later authorizes elections for distribution in a form other than a lump sum, the Participant
may annually change his or her election to an allowable alternative payout period by
submitting a new Election Form to the Committee, provided that any such Election Form is
submitted at least one year prior to the Participant’s Retirement and is accepted by the
Committee in its sole discretion and provided further that any such subsequent election must
defer the commencement of distribution of the Retirement Benefit for a period of at least
five (5) years from the date that such payment would have otherwise commenced. The Election
Form most recently accepted by the Committee shall govern the payout of the Retirement
Benefit. If a Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of the
Retirement Benefit, then such benefit shall be payable in a lump sum. The lump sum payment
shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, no later than 60 days after the date
the Participant Retires, provided, however, that the actual payment date, with respect to a
lump sum payment, or the actual payment commencement date, with respect to installment
payments, within such 60-day period shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. Any payment made shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation. A Participant
shall only receive his or her Stock Account Balance in the form of shares of Stock. The
Participant shall receive the number of shares of Stock equal to the number of vested Stock
Units credited to his or her Stock Account Balance immediately prior to such distribution
(with any fractional share of Stock rounded to the nearest whole share).

	5.3	 	Death Prior to Completion of Retirement Benefit. If a Participant dies after Retirement but
before the Retirement Benefit is paid in full, the Participant’s unpaid Retirement Benefit
payments shall continue and shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary over the remaining
number of months and in the same amounts as that benefit would have been paid to the
Participant had the Participant survived.

	5.4	 	Limitation on Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, the payment of benefits under this Article 5 with respect to a Specified Employee of
the Company shall not be made within six months following his Termination of Employment,
except in the event of death.

ARTICLE 6

PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVOR BENEFIT

	6.1	 	Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Participant’s
Beneficiary shall receive a Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit equal to the sum of the
Participant’s Cash Account Balance and Stock Account Balance if the Participant dies before he
or she Retires or experiences a Termination of Employment.

- 17 -

 

	6.2	 	Payment of Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit. Prior to Plan Year 2008, a Participant, in
connection with his or her commencement of participation in the Plan, could elect on an
Election Form whether the Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit shall be received by his or her
Beneficiary (i) in a lump sum, or (ii) pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of 5, 10, 15
or 20 years. Unless and until otherwise determined by the Committee, Participants shall not
be permitted to elect to receive distributions pursuant to the Annual Installment Method with
respect to amounts first earned and deferred in Plan Years subsequent to 2007. The Committee
may, in its discretion, permit the use of the Annual Installment Method in the future by
adopting a new Election Form which includes such payment method as an election alternative.
In the event that the Committee permits the use of the Annual Installment Method in the
future, Participants will only be permitted to make such election prospectively with respect
to amounts which are earned and deferred subsequent thereto. To the extent that the Committee
later authorizes elections for distribution in a form other than a lump sum, the Participant
may annually change this election to an allowable alternative payout period by submitting a
new Election Form to the Committee, which form must be accepted by the Committee. The
Election Form most recently accepted by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death shall
govern the payout of the Participant’s Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit. If a Participant does
not make any election with respect to the payment of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit, then
such benefit shall be paid in a lump sum. The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment
payments shall commence, no later than 60 days after the date of the Participant’s death,
provided, however, that the actual payment date, with respect to a lump sum payment, or the
actual payment commencement date, with respect to installment payments, within such 60-day
period shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any payment made shall be
subject to the Deduction Limitation.

ARTICLE 7

TERMINATION BENEFIT

	7.1	 	Termination Benefit. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the Participant shall receive a
Termination Benefit, which shall be equal to the sum of the Participant’s Cash Account Balance
and Stock Account Balance.

	7.2	 	Payment of Termination Benefit. Prior to Plan Year 2008, a Participant, in connection with
his or her commencement of participation in the Plan, could elect on an Election Form to
receive the Termination Benefit (i) in a lump sum, or (ii) pursuant to an Annual Installment
Method of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years. Unless and until otherwise determined by the Committee,
Participants shall not be permitted to elect to receive distributions pursuant to the Annual
Installment Method with respect to amounts first earned and deferred in Plan Years subsequent
to 2007. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit the use of the Annual Installment
Method in the future by adopting a new Election Form which includes such payment method as an
election alternative. In the event that the Committee permits the use of the Annual
Installment Method in the future, Participants will only be permitted to make such election
prospectively with respect to amounts which are earned and deferred subsequent thereto. To
the extent

- 18 -

 

	 	 	that the Committee later authorizes elections for distribution in a form other than a lump
sum, the Participant may annually change his or her election to an allowable alternative
payout period by submitting a new Election Form to the Committee, provided that any such
Election Form is submitted at least one year prior to the Participant’s Termination and is
accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion and provided further that any such
subsequent election must defer the commencement of distribution of the Termination Benefit
for a period of at least five (5) years from the date such payment would have otherwise
commenced. The Election Form most recently accepted by the Committee shall govern the
payout of the Termination Benefit. If a Participant does not make any election with respect
to the payment of the Termination Benefit, then such benefit shall be payable in a lump sum.
The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, no later than
60 days after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment, provided, however,
that the actual payment date, with respect to a lump sum payment, or the actual payment
commencement date, with respect to installment payments, within such 60-day period shall be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any payment made shall be subject to
the Deduction Limitation. A Participant shall only receive his or her Stock Account Balance
in the form of shares of Stock. The Participant shall receive the number of shares of Stock
equal to the number of vested Stock Units credited to his or her Stock Account Balance
immediately prior to such distribution (with any fractional share of Stock rounded to the
nearest whole share).

	7.3	 	Limitation on Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, the payment of benefits under this Article 7 with respect to a Specified Employee of
the Company shall not be made within six months following his Termination of Employment,
except in the event of death.

ARTICLE 8

DISABILITY WAIVER AND BENEFIT

	8.1	 	Disability Waiver:

	 	(a)	 	Waiver of Deferral. A Participant who is determined by the Committee to be
suffering from a Disability shall be excused from fulfilling that portion of the Annual
Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and/or Annual Director Stock
Deferral Amount commitment that would otherwise have been withheld from a Participant’s
Base Annual Salary, Incentive Pay, Directors Fees and Director Stock Compensation for
the Plan Year during which the Participant first suffers a Disability. During the
period of Disability, the Participant shall not be allowed to make any additional
deferral elections, but will continue to be considered a Participant for all other
purposes of this Plan.

	 	(b)	 	Return to Work. If a Participant returns to employment or service as an
Employee or Director, with any Employer after a Disability ceases, the Participant may
elect to defer an Annual Cash Deferral Amount, Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and
an Annual Director Stock Deferral

- 19 -

 

	 	 	 	Amount for the Plan Year following his or her return to employment or service and
for every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan; provided such
deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form is submitted and
accepted by the Committee for each such election in accordance with Section 3.3
above.

	8.2	 	Continued Eligibility; Disability Benefit. A Participant suffering a Disability shall, for
benefit purposes under this Plan, continue to be considered to be employed or in the service
of an Employer as a Director, and shall be eligible for the benefits provided for in Articles
4, 5, 6 or 7 in accordance with the provisions of those Articles.

ARTICLE 9

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

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

	9.2	 	Beneficiary Designation; Change; Spousal Consent. A Participant shall designate his or her
Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and returning it to
the Committee or its designated agent. A Participant shall have the right to change a
Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary
Designation Form and the Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. If
the Participant names someone other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, a spousal
consent, in the form designated by the Committee, must be signed by that Participant’s spouse
and returned to the Committee. Upon the acceptance by the Committee of a new Beneficiary
Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be canceled. The
Committee shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the
Participant and accepted by the Committee prior to his or her death.

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

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

- 20 -

 

	9.5	 	Doubt as to Beneficiary. If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to
receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall have the right, exercisable in its
discretion, to cause the Participant’s Employer to withhold such payments until this matter is
resolved to the Committee’s satisfaction.

	9.6	 	Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary shall
fully and completely discharge all Employers and the Committee from all further obligations
under this Plan with respect to the Participant.

ARTICLE 10

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

	10.1	 	Paid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer for any
reason to take a paid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the Participant
shall continue to be considered employed by that Employer and the Annual Cash Deferral Amount,
Annual Company Stock Deferral Amount and Annual Director Stock Deferral Amount shall continue
to be withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with Section 3.3.

	10.2	 	Unpaid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer for
any reason to take an unpaid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the
Participant shall continue to be considered employed by that Employer and the Participant
shall be excused from making deferrals until the earlier of the date the leave of absence
expires or the Participant returns to a paid employment status. Upon such expiration or
return, deferrals shall resume for the remaining portion of the Plan Year in which the
expiration or return occurs, based on the deferral election, if any, made for that Plan Year.
If no election was made for that Plan Year, no deferral shall be withheld.

	10.3	 	Leave of Absence. Notwithstanding the above, a Participant shall be deemed to have incurred
a Termination of Employment with the Employer for purposes of this Plan unless such
Participant’s “bona fide leave of absence” does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long
as the Participant retains a right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable
statute or by contract. A leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if
there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the
Employer. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Participant does not retain a
right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the Participant shall be
deemed to have incurred a Termination of Employment on the first date immediately following
such six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a leave of absence is due to any
medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death
or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such
impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of
employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of absence
may be substituted for such six-month period.

- 21 -

 

ARTICLE 11

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION

	11.1	 	Termination. Each Employer reserves the right to discontinue its sponsorship of the Plan
and/or to terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any or all of its participating
Employees and Directors by action of its board of directors. Upon the termination of the Plan
with respect to any Employer, participation of the affected Participants who are employed by
that Employer or in the service of that Employer as a Director shall terminate and their Cash
Account Balances and Stock Account Balances, determined as if they had experienced a
Termination of Employment on the date of Plan termination or, if Plan termination occurs after
the date upon which a Participant was eligible to Retire, then with respect to that
Participant as if he or she had Retired on the date of Plan termination, shall be paid to the
Participants as follows: (a) prior to a Change in Control: (i) if the Plan is terminated
with respect to all of its Participants, the Employer shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, and notwithstanding any elections made by the Participant, to pay such benefits in
a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of up to 15 years, with amounts
credited during the installment period as provided herein; (ii) if the Plan is terminated with
respect to less than all of its Participants, the Employer shall be required to pay such
benefits in a lump sum; (b) after a Change in Control, the Employer shall be required to pay
such benefits in a lump sum. The termination of the Plan must comply with the requirements of
Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) and shall not adversely affect any Participant or
Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the
date of termination; provided, however, that the Employer shall have the right to accelerate
installment payments without a premium or prepayment penalty by paying the Cash Account
Balance and Stock Account Balance in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method
using fewer years (provided that the present value of all payments that will have been
received by a Participant at any given point of time under the different payment schedule
shall equal or exceed the present value of all payments that would have been received at that
point in time under the original payment schedule). The applicable interest rate to be used
as the discount rate for determining such present value shall be a reasonable discount rate
selected by the Committee from time to time.

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

- 22 -

 

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

ARTICLE 12

ADMINISTRATION

	12.1	 	Committee Duties. This Plan shall be administered by the Company’s Employee Benefits
Fiduciary Committee (the “Committee”). Members of the Committee may be Participants under
this Plan. The Committee shall also have the discretion and authority to (i) make, amend,
interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this
Plan and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions including interpretations of this Plan,
as may arise in connection with the Plan. Any individual serving on the Committee who is a
Participant shall not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself. When
making a determination or calculation, the Committee shall be entitled to rely on information
furnished by a Participant or the Company.

	12.2	 	Agents. In the administration of this Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, employ
agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting
through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel who
may be counsel to any Employer.

	12.3	 	Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Committee with respect to any
question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and
application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and
conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan.

	12.4	 	Indemnity of Committee. All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the
Committee, and any Employee to whom the duties of the Committee may be delegated, against any
and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to
act with respect to this Plan, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Committee or
any of its members or any such Employee.

	12.5	 	Employer Information. To enable the Committee to perform its functions, each Employer shall
supply full and timely information to the Committee on all matters relating to the
compensation of its Participants, the date and circumstances of the Retirement, Disability,
death or Termination of Employment of its Participants, and such other pertinent information
as the Committee may reasonably require.

ARTICLE 13

OTHER BENEFITS AND AGREEMENTS

	13.1	 	Coordination with Other Benefits. The benefits provided for a Participant and Participant’s
Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant
under any other plan or program for employees of the Participant’s

- 23 -

 

	 	 	Employer. The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such
plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided.

ARTICLE 14

CLAIMS PROCEDURES

	14.1	 	Presentation of Claim. Any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant (such
Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a “Claimant”) may deliver to the
Committee a written claim for a determination with respect to the amounts distributable to
such Claimant from the Plan. If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by
the Claimant, the claim must be made within 60 days after such notice was received by the
Claimant. All other claims must be made within 180 days of the date on which the event that
caused the claim to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the determination
desired by the Claimant.

	14.2	 	Notification of Decision. The Committee shall consider a Claimant’s claim within a
reasonable time, and shall notify the Claimant in writing:

	 	(a)	 	that the Claimant’s requested determination has been made, and that the claim
has been allowed in full; or

	 	(b)	 	that the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to
the Claimant’s requested determination, and such notice must set forth in a manner
calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

	 	(i)	 	the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part
of it;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon
which such denial was based;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a description of any additional material or information
necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	an explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in
Section 14.3 below.

	14.3	 	Review of a Denied Claim. Within 60 days after receiving a notice from the Committee that a
claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized
representative) may file with the Committee a written request for a review of the denial of
the claim. Thereafter, but not later than 30 days after the review procedure began, the
Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative):

	 	(a)	 	may review pertinent documents;

	 	(b)	 	may submit written comments or other documents; and/or

- 24 -

 

	 	(c)	 	may request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant.

	14.4	 	Decision on Review. The Committee shall render its decision on review promptly, and not
later than 60 days after the filing of a written request for review of the denial, unless a
hearing is held or other special circumstances require additional time, in which case the
Committee’s decision must be rendered within 120 days after such date. Such decision must be
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must contain:

	 	(a)	 	specific reasons for the decision;
	 
	 	(b)	 	specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision
was based; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	such other matters as the Committee deems relevant.

	14.5	 	Legal Action. A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 14 is a
mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant’s right to commence any legal action with respect to any
claim for benefits under this Plan.

ARTICLE 15

TRUST

	15.1	 	Establishment of the Trust. The Company established the Trust, and each Employer may
transfer over to the Trust such assets as the Employer determines, in its sole discretion.

	15.2	 	Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust. The provisions of the Plan shall govern the
rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the Plan. The provisions of the
Trust shall govern the rights of the Employers, Participants and the creditors of the
Employers to the assets transferred to the Trust. Each Employer shall at all times remain
liable to carry out its obligations under the Plan.

	15.3	 	Distributions From the Trust. Each Employer’s obligations under the Plan may be satisfied
with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and any such distribution
shall reduce the Employer’s obligations under this Plan.

ARTICLE 16

MISCELLANEOUS

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

- 25 -

 

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

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

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

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

	16.6	 	Furnishing Information. A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will cooperate with the
Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such other
actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the
payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations
as the Committee may deem necessary.

	16.7	 	Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as
though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply;

- 26 -

 

	 	 	and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be
construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all
cases where they would so apply.

	16.8	 	Captions. The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for
convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its
provisions.

	16.9	 	Governing Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and
interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of California without regard to its
conflicts of law principles.

	16.10	 	Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under this
Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified
mail, to the address below:

Employee Benefits Fiduciary Committee

IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. Deferred Compensation Plan

888 E. Walnut Street

Pasadena, CA 91101

	 	 	Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by
mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.
Alternatively, the Committee may approve alternative methods of delivery, including
electronic or online methods, from time to time. Participants will receive written
notification of any such alternative delivery methods.
	 
	 	 	Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under this Plan
shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to the last known
address of the Participant.
	 
	16.11	 	Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns and the Participant and the
Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.
	 
	16.12	 	Spouse’s Interest. The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse of a Participant who
has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to the Participant and shall not be
transferable by such spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such spouse’s will,
nor shall such interest pass under the laws of intestate succession.
	 
	16.13	 	Validity. In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason,
said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall
be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted
herein.
	 
	16.14	 	Incompetent. If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan
is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling
the disposition of that person’s property, the Committee may direct

- 27 -

 

	 	 	payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and
custody of such minor, incompetent, or incapable person. The Committee may require proof of
minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to
distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of
the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a
complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.

	16.15	 	Domestic Relations Order. The Committee is authorized to accelerate the time or schedule of
any payment, or to make a payment under the Plan to an individual other than a Participant, to
the extent necessary to fulfill a “domestic relations order,” as such term is defined in Code
Section 414(p)(1)(B). In no event shall any Participant have a direct or indirect election as
to whether the Committee’s discretion will be exercised in such an event. The Plan may charge
the Participant’s account for actual legal expenses and costs if the Plan consults with legal
counsel regarding the status of the order.

	16.16	 	Distribution in the Event of Taxation:

	 	(a)	 	Income Inclusion under Section 409A. If, for any reason, the Plan fails to
meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder
and a Participant is required to include an amount in income as a result of such
failure, the Committee is authorized to accelerate the time or schedule of a payment,
or to make a payment under the Plan; provided that such payment may not exceed the
amount required to be included in income as a result of such failure. In no event
shall any Participant have a direct or indirect election as to whether the Committee’s
discretion will be exercised in such an event.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Payment of Employment Taxes. The Committee is authorized to accelerate the
time or schedule of any payment, or to make a payment under the Plan to pay (i) the
Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposes under Code Sections 3101,
3121(a), and 3121(v)(2), where applicable, on compensation deferred under the Plan,
(ii) the income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 or the
corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local, or foreign tax laws as
a result of the payment of the FICA amount, and (iii) the additional income tax at
source on wages attributable to the pyramiding Code Section 3401 wages and taxes;
provided that such payment may not exceed the aggregate of the FICA amount and the
income tax withholding related to such FICA amount. In no event shall any Participant
have a direct or indirect election as to whether the Committee’s discretion will be
exercised in such an event.

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

- 28 -

 

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

	16.18	 	Legal Fees To Enforce Rights After Change in Control. It is the intent of the Company that
a Participant not be required to incur legal fees and related expenses associated with the
interpretation, enforcement or defense of the Participant’s rights in connection with any
dispute arising under this Plan following a Change in Control. Accordingly, if, following a
Change in Control, it should appear to any Participant that the Company, the Participant’s
Employer or any successor corporation has failed to comply with any of its obligations under
the Plan or any agreement thereunder or, if the Company, such Employer or any other person
takes or threatens to take any action to declare the Plan void or unenforceable or institutes
any proceeding or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from any
Participant the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Participant hereunder,
then the Company and the Participant’s Employer irrevocably authorize such Participant to
retain counsel of his or her choice to advise and represent such Participant in connection
with any such dispute or proceeding, whether by or against the Company, the Participant’s
Employer or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Company,
the Participant’s Employer or any successor thereto in any jurisdiction, and the Company or
the Participant’s Employer (which shall be jointly and severally liable) shall reimburse the
Participant for all legal fees and expenses actually incurred by the Participant in connection
with any such dispute or proceeding. All such payments shall be made within 10 business days
after delivery of the Participant’s respective written requests for payment accompanied with
such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company or the Participant’s Employer may
reasonably require, but in no event shall any such payment be made later than the last day of
the Participant’s tax year following the Participant’s tax year in which the fee or expense
was incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s and the Participant’s Employer’s
reimbursement obligations pursuant to this Section 16.18 shall be limited to expenses incurred
during the Participant’s lifetime, and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement
during a given taxable year of the Participant shall not affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any other taxable year. The Participant’s right to reimbursement pursuant to
this Section 16.18 shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

ARTICLE I

PURPOSE OF PLAN

     The purpose of the IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. Senior Manager and Non-Employee Director Deferred
Compensation Plan is to provide for the deferral of Eligible Awards granted to eligible key
employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. (the
“Company”), IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), and certain of the Company’s affiliates. It is
intended that such purposes of the Plan will (i) assist the Company in attracting and retaining
such key employees and non-employee directors; (ii) motivate Participants to achieve long-range
goals of the Company; (iii) provide benefits to Participants which are competitive with the
benefits provided by similar companies; and (iv) further identify Participants’ interests with
those of the Company’s other stockholders in those instances in which awards are credited under the
Plan in the form of Stock.

     The Plan has been established primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for
a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company and is intended to
qualify under Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. The Company shall make
contributions to a Trust for purposes of defraying the cost of payments which become due under the
Plan, but the Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

     Prior to the amendment and restatement of the Plan on September 17, 2007, the Plan provided
solely for the deferral of Cash Incentive Awards. With respect to Cash Incentive Awards relating
to Service Periods occurring in 2006 and 2007 (the “2006-2007 Awards”), Participants were required
to submit Payment Elections pursuant to which they could elect a deferred payment date on or
following the Vesting Date relating to such awards. Following the amendment and restatement of the
Plan, Other Cash Awards were added to the Plan, and all Eligible Awards subsequently deferred into
the Plan are required to be paid out on the applicable Vesting Date. The 2006-2007 Awards will
remain subject to the Payment Election submitted with respect thereto.

ARTICLE III

ELIGIBILITY; AWARDS; ELECTIONS

     Section 3.1 Eligibility. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the
Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time from among the Eligible Individuals,
those persons who will receive Eligible Awards to be deferred pursuant to this Plan. An Eligible
Individual who is so designated shall become a “Participant” in the Plan upon making an Investment
Election with respect to the Eligible Award. With respect to the 2006-2007 Awards, each
Participant also was required to make a Payment Election. Once an Eligible Individual becomes a
Participant, he or she shall continue to be a Participant until all amounts credited to his or her
Deferral Account have been paid or distributed pursuant to the Plan.

     Section 3.2 Eligible Awards.

          (a) Cash Incentive Awards. A Cash Incentive Award issued under the Incentive Plan is
eligible for deferral into the Plan only to the extent that the Committee specifically designates
it for such deferral at the time of grant. Following the completion of the Service Period relating
to such Cash Incentive Award, the Committee shall calculate the amount of the Cash Incentive Award
earned by the Participant. Such calculation shall be made, and the actual amount of the earned
Cash Incentive Award allocated to the Plan, on the corresponding Deferral Date.

-4-

 

          (b) Other Cash Awards. An Other Cash Award, which unlike a Cash Incentive Award is
not required to be earned during a Service Period, is immediately deferred into the Plan on the
Grant Date. Accordingly, on the Grant Date (which is also the Deferral Date), the amount of the
Other Cash Award will be allocated to the Plan.

     Section 3.3 Vesting of Awards. With respect to each separate Eligible Award,
following the Deferral Date, a Participant shall become vested in the portion of his or her
Deferral Account relating to such award pursuant to satisfaction of the vesting conditions
established by the Committee at the time of grant of the Eligible Award (the date of such vesting
being referred to herein as the “Vesting Date”). If a Participant is subject to an Employment
Agreement containing provisions which, by their terms, govern the vesting of an Eligible Award,
such terms shall govern the Vesting Date, or an acceleration thereof; provided, however, that the
Employment Agreement shall so supersede such provisions of this Plan only to the extent that the
result would be to the Participant’s benefit.

     Section 3.4 Deferrals.

          (a) Automatic Deferrals. The entire amount of any Eligible Award designated for
deferral pursuant to the Plan shall be automatically deferred, and shall be paid on the Vesting
Date relating to such award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 2006-2007 Awards will be paid on
or following the Vesting Date in accordance with the Payment Election of the Participant which is
in effect with respect to each such award.

          (b) Effect of Payment and Investment Elections.

          (i) Payment Elections with Respect to 2006-2007 Awards. During the Election
Period preceding the 2007 Service Period, a Participant was required to make a Payment
Election with respect to the Cash Incentive Award granted to the Participant for such
Service Period. The Payment Election constitutes an irrevocable election by a Participant,
and an express authorization to the Company, to defer the receipt of a vested Cash Incentive
Award otherwise payable to the Participant until the earlier of a specified date or the
Participant’s Separation from Service, or as otherwise provided under Section 5.1.
Participants shall not be permitted to make a Payment Election for Eligible Awards that are
not 2006-2007 Awards, as distributions of amounts related to such subsequent awards will be
made on the applicable Vesting Date, as provided in Section 3.4(a).

          (ii) Investment Elections for Eligible Awards. A Participant shall be required
to make an Investment Election with respect to an Eligible Award during the Election Period
established by the Committee with respect to such award. The Investment Election shall be
irrevocable and shall specify (in increments of twenty-five percent (25%)), the amount of
the Eligible Award to be allocated to the Participant’s Interest Earning Sub-Account and
Stock Earning Sub-Account.

          (c) Initial Elections. Notwithstanding Section 3.4(b), following adoption of the
Plan, each Participant was permitted to make an initial Payment Election and Investment Election
prior to December 31, 2006, which election applies to the 2006-2007 Awards. In addition, an
Eligible Individual who becomes a Participant during a future calendar year may

-5-

 

make an initial Investment Election during the thirty (30) day period following the date he or
she becomes an Eligible Individual, which election shall apply to any Cash Incentive Award granted
to the Eligible Individual for the calendar year in which he or she is selected for participation,
or any Other Cash Award subsequently granted during such calendar year.

          (d) Default Elections. If a Participant fails to make an Investment Election with
respect to a particular Eligible Award, the most recent Investment Election made by the Participant
shall be deemed to remain in effect for such Eligible Award.

          (e) Special Payment Elections for 2006-2007 Awards. In connection with the
amendment and restatement of this Plan, Participants who received 2006-2007 Awards shall be given
the opportunity to change their Payment Election before December 31, 2007. Pursuant to such new
Payment Election, distributions of amounts related to the Participant’s 2006-2007 Awards will be
made on the Vesting Date applicable to such awards, provided that such awards do not vest prior to
December 31, 2007. In the event that a Participant makes a new Payment Election with respect to a
2006-2007 Award and such award becomes vested prior to December 31, 2007, distributions with
respect to such award shall be made as soon as practicable during 2008, subject to Section 5.1(d).

ARTICLE IV

ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF ACCOUNTS

     Section 4.1 Maintenance of Accounts. The Committee shall cause a separate Deferral
Account to be established and maintained under the Trust for each Participant and, within each such
Deferral Account, a separate Interest Earning Sub-Account and Stock Earning Account. References
herein to a Participant’s “Deferral Account” shall refer to the Participant’s Interest Earning
Sub-Account and Stock Earning Sub-Account in the aggregate. A Participant’s Interest Earning
Sub-Account and Stock Earning Sub-Account shall be charged, as applicable, with any distributions
from the respective sub-accounts on the date such distributions are made.

     Section 4.2 Interest Earning Sub-Account. A Participant’s Interest Earning
Sub-Account shall be credited with the portion of the Participant’s Eligible Award which he or she
elects to have allocated to such sub-account pursuant to his or her Investment Election. Such
interest shall be credited commencing on the date the sub-account is established and ending on the
date of payment of the full account balance of such sub-account. Interest on a particular Eligible
Award shall be credited commencing with the corresponding Deferral Date or Grant Date, as
applicable. Such interest shall be credited at a rate that is set annually by the Committee and
communicated in writing to Participants prior to the beginning of the calendar year for which the
rate will be in effect, and such interest shall be compounded daily. Interest shall be credited on
the balance in an Interest Earning Sub-Account until all amounts credited to such sub-account have
been paid.

     Section 4.3 Stock Earning Sub-Account. The Trustee shall, as soon as practicable
following the Deferral Date or Grant Date, as applicable, apply the aggregate amount of cash that
is allocated to Participants’ Stock Earning Sub-Accounts for Eligible Awards deferred on such
Deferral Date or Grant Date, as applicable, toward the purchase of a block of shares of Stock. The
amount of shares so purchased with respect to any Deferral Date or Grant Date, as

-6-

 

applicable, shall be allocated to a Participant (and credited to the Participant’s Stock
Earning Sub-Account) in the proportion determined by comparing the amount of the Eligible Award
that the Participant elected to allocate to his or her Stock Earning Sub-Account for such Deferral
Date or Grant Date, as applicable, to the aggregate amount of Eligible Awards which all
Participants elected to allocate to their Stock Earning Sub-Accounts for such Deferral Date or
Grant Date, as applicable. For example, if a Participant elects to defer $1,000 of his or her
Eligible Award into his or her Stock Earning Sub-Account and all other Participants elect to defer
an aggregate of $9,000 into their Stock Earning Sub-Accounts, the Trustee shall purchase shares of
Stock having an aggregate value of $10,000, and the Participant’s Stock Earning Sub-Account shall
be allocated one-tenth (1/10) of such shares. Dividends paid with respect to Stock credited to a
Participant’s Stock Earning Sub-Account shall be converted to shares of Stock as soon as
practicable following the payment of the dividend. Other adjustments or changes to the Stock in
general, including changes as a result of mergers or other corporate transactions, shall be applied
to the Stock credited to a Participant’s Stock Earning Sub-Account. No interest will be credited
with respect to any balance in a Participant’s Stock Earning Sub-Account.

     Section 4.4 Eligible Awards which Do Not Vest. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan to the contrary, in the event all or a portion of a Participant’s Eligible Award, or the
portion of his or her Deferral Account relating to an Eligible Award, does not vest or otherwise
lapses pursuant to its terms, the Participant shall forfeit all cash and interest credited or to be
credited to his or her Deferral Account and sub-accounts, and all Stock credited or to be credited
to his or her Deferral Account and sub-accounts, with respect to such unvested or lapsed portion or
award.

     Section 4.5 Account Valuation; Participant Statements. For each Service Period, the
Committee shall provide a written statement to each Participant setting forth (i) the amount
credited to his or her Interest Earning Sub-Account and the number of shares of Stock credited to
his or her Stock Earning Sub-Account (including dividends invested in Stock pursuant to Section
4.3), if any, for the Service Period, (ii) the rate at which interest was credited to his or her
Interest Earning Sub-Account and the aggregate amount of interest credited to such sub-account
since the last such statement, and (iii) his or her total Deferral Account balance (in cash and
Stock) as of a date specified in such statement.

ARTICLE V

if a Participant dies or otherwise incurs a Separation From Service before beginning distributions
or after beginning distributions but before receiving distribution of his or her entire Deferral
Account, the remaining vested balance of his or her Deferral Account shall be distributed in a
single lump sum payment to his or her Beneficiary(ies) as soon as practicable but no later than the
90th day following the Participant’s death.

          (c) Payment Upon Separation From Service. Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a)(i), if a
Participant incurs a Separation From Service (other than on account of his or her death) before
beginning distributions or after beginning distributions but before receiving distribution of his
or her entire Deferral Account, the remaining vested balance of his or her Deferral Account shall
be distributed in a single lump sum payment on the date which is six (6) months after the date

          (d) Special Rule for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan
to the contrary, if a Participant who is a Specified Employee at the time he or she experiences a
Separation from Service and a payment is required to be made under Section 5.1(a)(i) or 5(c) upon
such Separation from Service, the payment otherwise due hereunder shall be delayed until the

     Section 6.5 Claims Procedure.

          (a) Benefit Claims. A Participant (or his or her Beneficiary in the event of the

Notice of the Committee’s decision shall be in writing, sent by mail to the Participant’s or

for review and decision on the denial shall be extended by an additional sixty (60) days. The
review shall take account of all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by

pertinent provisions of the Plan. The claimant shall also be notified that, upon request and
free of charge, the claimant can have reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and
other information relevant to his or her claim.

     Section 6.6 Performance-Based Awards.

          In the event that the Committee has designated a Cash Incentive Award to be
“performance-based” compensation for purposes of Code Section 162(m), such award will be
conditioned on the achievement of one or more performance measures included in the Incentive Plan.
The grant of such award and the establishment of the relevant performance goals shall be made
during the period required under Code Section 162(m). The Committee shall certify in writing prior
to the vesting of such award that the performance goals applicable to such award, as well as any
other material terms applicable to such award, were satisfied.

ARTICLE VII

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

     A Participant may, in the manner prescribed by the Committee, designate one or more
Beneficiaries to receive the balance credited to the Participant’s Account, if any, in the event of
the Participant’s death prior to full payment thereof. Such beneficiary designation may be changed
by the Participant at any time without the consent of any prior Beneficiary by making a new
designation in the same manner; provided, however, that no such designation shall be effective
unless received by the Committee or its agent for such purpose prior to the Participant’s death.
If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary hereunder, or if no Beneficiary survives the
Participant, the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

     The Committee may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, in whole or in part, and for any
reason, provided, however, that no amendment or termination shall reduce a
Participant’s accumulated Deferral Account nor shall any amendment detrimentally change the terms
and conditions of the Plan with respect to any deferrals made prior to such amendment unless the
Committee determines that such amendment is required by law to preserve the tax deferral of such
Deferral Account or otherwise to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

ARTICLE IX

GRANTOR TRUST CONTRIBUTIONS

     The Company shall make payments to the Trust in the form of cash. Any payment distribution
made to a Participant or Beneficiary from the Trust shall relieve the Company and the Plan Sponsor
from any further obligations under the Plan only to the extent of such payment or distribution.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the assets of the Trust shall remain the property
of the Plan Sponsor, and shall be subject to the claims of creditors in the event of bankruptcy or
insolvency, as provided in the Trust agreement.

service of any person at any time notwithstanding the terms of the Plan.

     Section 10.4 Benefits Not Assignable. The Deferral Account of a Participant and any

execution or levy of any kind or nature, or claim for alimony or support pursuant to a divorce
decree or other court order, and any attempt to accomplish the foregoing shall be null and void.

     Section 10.5 Severability. If any particular provision of the Plan shall be found by
final judgment of a court or administrative tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall not affect any
other provision of the Plan and the other provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and
effect.

shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local tax withholding, as applicable.
