Exhibit C WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC. 1000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 FORM OF SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE SERIES RP PREFERRED SHARES The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Washington Mutual, Inc. (the "Corporation") has declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of the Corporation. The dividend is payable to the stockholders of record on January 4, 2001 (the "Record Date"), and with respect to shares of Common Stock issued thereafter until the Distribution Date (as defined below) and, in certain circumstances, with respect to shares of Common Stock issued after the Distribution Date. Except as set forth below, each Right, when it becomes exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Corporation one one-thousandth (1/1000th) of a share of Series RP Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation at a price of $200.00 per one one-thousandth (1/1000th) of a share of Preferred Stock (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between the Corporation and Mellon Investor Services, L.L.C., as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent"), dated as of December 20, 2000. Initially, the Rights will be attached to all certificates representing shares of Common Stock then outstanding, and no separate certificates representing the Rights ("Right Certificates") will be distributed. The Rights will separate from the Common Stock upon the earliest to occur of (i) a person or group of affiliated or associated persons having acquired, without the prior approval of the Corporation's Board of Directors, beneficial ownership of securities which represent 15% or more of the voting power (the "Voting Power") of the then outstanding voting securities of the Corporation (except pursuant to a Permitted Offer, as hereinafter defined) or (ii) 10 days (or such later date as the Board may determine) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in a person or group of affiliated or associated persons becoming an Acquiring Person (as hereinafter defined) (the "Distribution Date"). A person or group whose acquisitions of shares of Common Stock cause a Distribution Date pursuant to clause (i) above is an "Acquiring Person," with certain exceptions as set forth in the Rights Agreement. The date that a person or group is first publicly announced to have become such by the Corporation or such Acquiring Person is the "Shares Acquisition Date." If any security holder provides evidence satisfactory to the Board of beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock representing 15% or more of the Voting Power as of immediately prior to the first public announcement of the execution of the Rights Agreement, then such security holder will not be deemed an Acquiring Person with respect to such securities. The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferred with and only with the associated shares of Common Stock. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), new Common Stock certificates issued after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of shares of Common Stock will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the surrender for transfer of any certificates for shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, even without such notation or a copy of this Summary of Rights being attached thereto, will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, Right Certificates will be mailed to the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock as of the Close of Business (as defined in the Rights Agreement) on the Distribution Date (and to each initial record holder of certain shares of Common Stock issued after the Distribution Date), and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights. The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the close of business on January 4, 2011, unless earlier redeemed by the Corporation as described below. In the event that any person becomes an Acquiring Person (except pursuant to a tender or exchange offer which is for all outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price and on terms which a majority of certain members of the Board determines to be adequate and in the best interests of the Corporation, its stockholders and other relevant constituencies, other than such Acquiring Person, its affiliates and associates (a "Permitted Offer")), each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right (the "Flip-In Right") to receive, upon exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, of one one-thousandths (1/1000ths) of a share of Preferred Stock or other securities of the Corporation) having a value (immediately prior to such triggering event) equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of the event described above, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person or any affiliate or associate thereof will be null and void. The Board has the option, at any time after any person becomes an Acquiring Person, to exchange all or part of the then-exercisable Rights (excluding those that have become void, as described in the immediately preceding sentence) for shares of Common Stock, at an exchange ratio determined by dividing the then-applicable Purchase Price by the then-current market price per share of Common Stock as determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement. However, this option generally terminates if any person becomes the beneficial owner of shares representing 50% or more of the Voting Power. In the event that, at any time following the Shares Acquisition Date, (i) the Corporation is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction are not the holders of all of the surviving corporation's voting power, or (ii) more than 50% of the Corporation's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, in either case with or to (x) an Acquiring Person or any affiliate or associate thereof or (y) any other person in which such Acquiring Person, affiliate or associate has an interest or any person acting on behalf of or in concert with such Acquiring Person, affiliate or associate, or (z) if, in such transaction, all holders of shares of Common Stock are not treated alike, any other person, then each holder of a Right (except Rights which previously have been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right (the "Flip-Over Right") to receive, upon exercise, common shares of the acquiring company (or, in certain circumstances, its parent), having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. The holder of a Right will continue to have the Flip-Over Right whether or not such holder exercises or surrenders the Flip-In Right. The Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred Stock, (ii) upon the grant to holders of shares of the Preferred Stock of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Preferred Stock at a price, or securities convertible into Preferred Stock with a conversion price, less than the then current market price of the Preferred Stock or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of shares of the Preferred Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular quarterly cash dividends) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). The number of outstanding Rights and the number of one one-thousandths (1/1000ths) of a share of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split of the Common Stock or a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or subdivisions, consolidations or combinations of the Common Stock occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date. Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of $1.00 per share but, if greater, will be entitled to an aggregate dividend per share of 1,000 times the dividend declared per share of Common Stock. In the event of liquidation, the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment per share in an amount equal to the greater of 1,000 times $200.00 or 1,000 times the payment made per share of Common Stock plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series RP Liquidation Preference"); thereafter, and after the holders of shares of the Common Stock receive a liquidation payment of an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Series RP Liquidation Preference by 1,000 (subject to certain adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock), the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock and the holders of the Common Stock will share the remaining assets in the ratio of 1,000 to 1 (as adjusted) for each share of Preferred Stock and Common Stock so held, respectively. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of Common Stock are exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of Common Stock. These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions. In the event that the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock is equivalent to six full quarterly dividends or more, the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting as a class, to elect two directors in addition to the directors elected by the holders of shares of the Common Stock until all cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock have been paid or set apart for payment through the last quarterly dividend payment date. No fractional shares of Preferred Stock will be issued (other than fractions which are one one-thousandth (1/1000th) or integral multiples of one one-thousandth (1/1000th) of a share of Preferred Stock, which may, at the election of the Corporation, be evidenced by depositary receipts) and in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Stock on the last trading day prior to the date of exercise. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price. At any time prior to the earlier to occur of (i) a person becoming an Acquiring Person or (ii) the expiration of the Rights, and under certain other circumstances, the Corporation may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price (payable in cash or, at the Corporation's election, in Common Stock) of $.001 per Right (the "Redemption Price"), which redemption shall be effective upon the action of the Board. Additionally, following the Shares Acquisition Date, the Corporation may redeem the then outstanding Rights in whole, but not in part, at the Redemption Price, provided that such redemption is in connection with a merger or other business combination transaction or series of transactions involving the Corporation in which all holders of shares of Common Stock are treated alike but not involving an Acquiring Person or its affiliates or associates. Other than those provisions relating to the rights, duties and obligations of the Rights Agent, all of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Corporation prior to the Distribution Date, except that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Rights (excluding Rights which have become void in accordance with the Rights Agreement) will be required (i) to increase the Purchase Price, to reduce the price at which the Rights may be redeemed and/or to amend, in a manner adverse to the interests of the holders of Rights, the exchange ratio of rights for shares of Common Stock and (ii) following a Distribution Date, to supplement or amend any provision of the Rights Agreement or the Rights in any other respect.

However, this option generally terminates if any person becomes the beneficial owner of shares representing 50% or more of the Voting Power. In the event that, at any time following the Shares Acquisition Date, (i) the Corporation is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction are not the holders of all of the surviving corporation's voting power, or (ii) more than 50% of the Corporation's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, in either case with or to (x) an Acquiring Person or any affiliate or associate thereof or (y) any other person in which such Acquiring Person, affiliate or associate has an interest or any person acting on behalf of or in concert with such Acquiring Person, affiliate or associate, or (z) if, in such transaction, all holders of shares of Common Stock are not treated alike, any other person, then each holder of a Right (except Rights which previously have been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right (the "Flip-Over Right") to receive, upon exercise, common shares of the acquiring company (or, in certain circumstances, its parent), having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right.

These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions. Because of the nature of the Preferred Stock's dividend and liquidation rights, the value of the one one-thousandth interest in a share of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one share of Common Stock, unless a discount results from the fact that such interest carries one one-thousandth of a vote as a result of a restrictions contained in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

The date that a person or group is first publicly announced to have become such by the Corporation or such Acquiring Person is the "Shares Acquisition Date." If any security holder provides evidence satisfactory to the Board of beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock representing 15% or more of the Voting Power as of immediately prior to the first public announcement of the execution of the Rights Agreementwill be evidenced, then such security holder will not be deemed an Acquiring Person with respect to any of the Common Stock certificates outstanding as of the Record Date, by such securitiesCommon Stock certificate together with this Summary of Rights. The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution DateDate (or earlier expiration of the Rights), the Rights will be transferred with and only with the associated shares of Common Stock. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), new Common Stock certificates issued after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of shares issuances of Common Stock will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the surrender for transfer of any certificates for shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, even without such notation or a copy of this Summary of Rights being attached theretoRights, will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights ("Right Certificates Certificates") will be mailed to the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock as of the Close close of Business (as defined in the Rights Agreement) business on the Distribution Date (and to each initial record holder of certain shares of Common Stock issued after the Distribution Date), and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights. The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and Date. The Rights will expire at on November 16, 2010 (the close of business on January 4, 2011"Final Expiration Date"), unless the Final Expiration Date is advanced or extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Corporation Company, in each case as described below. In the event that any person becomes an Acquiring Person (except pursuant to a tender or exchange offer which is for all outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price and on terms which a majority of certain members of the Board determines to be adequate and in the best interests of the Corporation, its stockholders and other relevant constituencies, other than such Acquiring Person, its affiliates and associates (a "Permitted Offer")), each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right (the "Flip-In Right") to receive, upon exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, of one one-thousandths (1/1000ths) of a share of Preferred Stock or other securities of the Corporation) having a value (immediately prior to such triggering event) equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of the event described above, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person or any affiliate or associate thereof will be null and void. The Board has the option, at any time after any person becomes an Acquiring Person, to exchange all or part of the then-exercisable Rights (excluding those that have become void, as described in the immediately preceding sentence) for shares of Common Stock, at an exchange ratio determined by dividing the then-applicable Purchase Price by the then-current market price per share of Common Stock as determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement. However, this option generally terminates if any person becomes the beneficial owner of shares representing 50% or more of the Voting Power. In the event that, at any time following the Shares Acquisition Date, (i) the Corporation is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction are not the holders of all of the surviving corporation's voting power, or (ii) more than 50% of the Corporation's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, in either case with or to (x) an Acquiring Person or any affiliate or associate thereof or (y) any other person in which such Acquiring Person, affiliate or associate has an interest or any person acting on behalf of or in concert with such Acquiring Person, affiliate or associate, or (z) if, in such transaction, all holders of shares of Common Stock are not treated alike, any other person, then each holder of a Right (except Rights which previously have been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right (the "Flip-Over Right") to receive, upon exercise, common shares of the acquiring company (or, in certain circumstances, its parent), having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. The holder of a Right will continue to have the Flip-Over Right whether or not such holder exercises or surrenders the Flip-In Right. The Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are is subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred Stock, (ii) upon the grant to holders of shares of the Preferred Stock of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Preferred Stock at a price, or securities convertible into Preferred Stock with a conversion price, less than the then then-current market price of the Preferred Stock or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of shares of the Preferred Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular quarterly periodic cash dividendsdividends or dividends payable in Preferred Stock) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). The number of outstanding Rights and the number of one one-thousandths (1/1000ths) of a share of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of each Right are also is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split of the Common Stock or a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or subdivisions, consolidations or combinations of the Common Stock occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date. Shares of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled entitled, when, as and if declared, to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of the greater of (a) $1.00 10.00 per share butshare, if greater, will be entitled and (b) an amount equal to an aggregate dividend per share of 1,000 1000 times the dividend declared per share of Common Stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment of the greater of (a) $10.00 per share in (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends), and (b) an amount equal to the greater of 1,000 times $200.00 or 1,000 1000 times the payment made per share of Common Stock plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series RP Liquidation Preference"); thereafter, and after the holders of shares of the Common Stock receive a liquidation payment of an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Series RP Liquidation Preference by 1,000 (subject to certain adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock), the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock and the holders of the Common Stock will share the remaining assets in the ratio of 1,000 to 1 (as adjusted) for each . Each share of Preferred Stock and will have 1000 votes, voting together with the Common Stock so held, respectivelyStock. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 1000 times the amount received per share of Common Stock. These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions. Because of the nature of the Preferred Stock's dividend, liquidation and voting rights, the value of the one one-thousandth interest in a share of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one share of Common Stock. In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the amount Acquiring Person (which will thereupon become void), will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock is equivalent to six full quarterly dividends or more, the holders a Right that number of shares of Common Stock having a market value of two times the Preferred Stock shall exercise price of the Right. In the event that, after a person or group has become an Acquiring Person, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold, proper provisions will be made so that each holder of a Right (other than Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person which will have become void) will thereafter have the right, voting as right to receive upon the exercise of a class, to elect two directors in addition to the directors elected by the holders Right that number of shares of common stock of the person with whom the Company has engaged in the foregoing transaction (or its parent) that at the time of such transaction have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the earlier of one of the events described in the previous paragraph or the acquisition by such Acquiring Person of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such Acquiring Person which will have become void), in whole or in part, for shares of Common Stock until all cumulative dividends on the or Preferred Stock have been paid (or set apart for payment through a series of the last quarterly dividend payment date. No Company's preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock, or a fractional shares share of Preferred Stock will be issued (or other than fractions which are one one-thousandth (1/1000thpreferred stock) or integral multiples of one one-thousandth (1/1000th) of a share of Preferred Stockequivalent in value thereto, which may, at the election of the Corporation, be evidenced by depositary receipts) and in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Stock on the last trading day prior to the date of exerciseper Right. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price. No fractional shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock will be issued (other than fractions of Preferred Stock which are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, which may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts), and in lieu thereof an adjustment in cash will be made based on the current market price of the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock. At any time prior to the earlier to occur of (i) a person becoming time an Acquiring Person or (ii) becomes such, the expiration Board of Directors of the Rights, and under certain other circumstances, the Corporation Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price (payable in cash or, at the Corporation's election, in Common Stock) of $.001 .01 per Right (the "Redemption Price"), which redemption shall be effective upon the action of the Board. Additionally, following the Shares Acquisition Date, the Corporation may redeem the then outstanding Rights in whole, but not in part) payable, at the Redemption Priceoption of the Company, provided that such redemption is in connection with a merger or other business combination transaction or series of transactions involving the Corporation in which all holders of cash, shares of Common Stock are treated alike but not involving an Acquiring Person or its affiliates or associates. Other than those provisions relating to the rights, duties and obligations such other form of the Rights Agent, all of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by consideration as the Board of Directors of the Corporation prior Company shall determine. The redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Distribution Date, except that Rights will terminate and the affirmative vote only right of the holders of a majority of Rights will be to receive the then outstanding Rights (excluding Rights which have become void in accordance with Redemption Price. For so long as the Rights Agreement) will be required (i) are then redeemable, the Company may, except with respect to increase the Purchase Redemption Price, to reduce the price at which amend the Rights may be redeemed and/or Agreement in any manner. After the Rights are no longer redeemable, the Company may, except with respect to amendthe Redemption Price, amend the Rights Agreement in a any manner adverse to that does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights, the exchange ratio of rights for shares of Common Stock and (ii) following a Distribution Date, to supplement or amend any provision of the Rights Agreement or the Rights in any other respect.
