<p align="center"><b><font size="2">FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE<br>
WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC.<br>
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN</font></b></p>
<blockquote>
	<p><font size="2">A new Section 5.7 was added to the Washington Mutual, Inc.
Deferred Compensation Plan to read as follows:</font></p>
	<blockquote>
		<p><font size="2">5.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Special IRS Transition Election</u>.
Pursuant to Internal Revenue Service Notice 2007-86, and in accordance with
procedures adopted by the Chief Human Resources Officer, a Participant may elect
no later than December 31, 2007 to receive all or a portion of his vested
Account balance accrued through December 31, 2007, and certain amounts that are
accrued thereafter provided that they relate to deferral elections made prior to
2008 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4.3 through the applicable distribution
date) in either (a) a single lump sum payment in July 2008, or (b) up to ten
(10) annual installments, with the first installment payable in July 2008 (and
with each installment to be an amount equal to the remaining Account balance
subject to the election under this Section 5.7 as of the date of payment divided
by the number of installments remaining to be paid, including the current
installment). Any such election shall supersede any prior distribution election
made by the Participant effective as of July 1, 2008, but amounts shall be
payable in connection with such prior election through July 1, 2008 to the
extent such election provides for distributions prior to such date.</font></p>
