WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (3-Year Vesting)

Exhibit 10.2(d)

WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

(3-Year Vesting)

Washington Mutual, Inc. (the “Company”), by action of the Board and approval of its shareholders established the Washington Mutual, Inc. Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Participant is employed by the Company or a Related Company and the Company desires to encourage the Participant to own Common Stock for the purposes stated in Section 1 of the Plan. In consideration of the foregoing, the parties have entered into this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) to govern the terms of the Restricted Stock Award (as defined below) granted by the Company. Defined terms in the Plan shall have the same meaning in this Agreement, except where the context otherwise requires.

1. Grant of Restricted Stock

1.1 Award of Restricted Stock

On the grant date (the “Grant Date”) set forth in the paper or electronic Notice of Grant (“Notice of Grant”) provided to the Participant named therein, the Company has granted to the Participant a Restricted Stock Award (the “Award”) in accordance with the terms of the Plan and subject to the conditions set forth in the Notice of Grant, this Agreement and the Plan (as amended from time to time). The Award represents the right to receive up to the number of shares of Common Stock (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 15 of the Plan, the “Shares”) of the Company subject to the fulfillment of the vesting conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1.2 Acceptance of Restricted Stock

The Participant shall not be entitled to any of the benefits under this Award unless and until the Participant accepts the Award through the electronic grant notification system maintained by or on behalf of the Company or by signing and returning to the Company (at the address set forth in Paragraph 15.1) the paper Notice of Grant, in each case, no later than the 90th day following the Grant Date. If the Participant fails to accept the Award as specified in this Paragraph 1.2 within the 90-day period immediately following the Grant Date, the Award shall terminate without consideration and be deemed cancelled upon the expiration of such 90-day period, unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that any delay was for good cause (including the death, disability or other incapacitation of the Participant). By accepting the Award, the Participant irrevocably agrees on behalf of the Participant and the Participant’s successors and permitted assigns to all of the terms and conditions of the Award as set forth in or pursuant to the Notice of Grant, this Agreement, and the Plan (as such may be amended from time to time).

2. Transfer Restrictions; Vesting

(a) Participant’s rights in and to the Shares shall not be vested as of the Grant Date and shall be forfeitable unless and until otherwise vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Participant’s rights in and to the Shares shall be subject to both time and performance-based vesting criteria. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the

Award that shall be eligible for vesting under this Agreement shall be based upon the achievement of the Performance Goals set forth on Attachment A hereto (such Shares are referred to as the “Earned Shares”). Any shares of Common Stock subject to the Award that do not become Earned Shares pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant immediately upon the determination of the number of Earned Shares pursuant to Attachment A. Provided that the Participant has not experienced a Termination of Service and has timely accepted the Award pursuant to Paragraph 1.2, the Award shall become vested on the Anniversary date of the Grant Date as specified below with respect to a number of Earned Shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the percentage of the total number of Earned Shares in accordance with the following schedule:

Vesting Date	Percent (%) of Shares Vested		Performance Goals to Be Attained
2^nd Anniversary	50	%	N/A
3^rd Anniversary	100	%	N/A

The foregoing performance goals shall be based on and interpreted consistent with one or more business criteria set forth in Section 11.1 of the Plan. Shares that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as “Vested Shares.” Shares that are not vested and remain subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as “Unvested Shares.”

(b) The vesting period of the Award set forth in Paragraph 2(a) may be adjusted by the Committee to reflect the decreased level of employment during any period in which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full time basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 2, the Award shall be subject to earlier acceleration of vesting and/or forfeiture and transfer as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

(c) Any sale, transfer, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by bequest, devise or descent, or other transfer or disposition of any kind, whether voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, of Unvested Shares shall be strictly prohibited and void; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the Participant to assign or transfer an Award to the extent permitted under the Plan, provided that the Award shall be subject to all the terms and condition of the Plan, this Agreement and any other terms required by the Committee as a condition to such transfer.

3. Status of Participant

From and after the Grant Date, Participant will be recorded as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares and shall have voting rights with respect to the Shares unless and until any Shares are forfeited or transferred back to the Company.

4. Dividends

From and after the Grant Date and unless and until Shares are forfeited or otherwise transferred back to the Company, the Participant will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Shares. Dividends payable by the Company to its public stockholders in cash shall, with respect to any Unvested Shares, be paid in cash on or about the date such dividends are payable to public stockholders, subject to any applicable tax withholding requirements.

5. Treatment of Award upon Termination of Employment; Company Transaction

5.1 Termination of Employment

Except as provided in Paragraph 5.2 below, upon Termination of Service for any reason other than death, Disability or retirement, the Unvested Shares shall be forfeited by the Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant. Upon Termination of Service because of death, Disability or retirement (as defined in the following sentence), the service requirements upon vesting of the Shares shall be waived and the Shares subject to this Award shall become Vested Shares if and to the extent that the performance goals described in Paragraph 2 have been or thereafter are satisfied. For purposes of this Paragraph 5.1, “retirement” shall mean Termination of Service for any reason other than for Cause at or after attainment of age sixty-five (65).

5.2 Company Transaction

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 5.1, the Vesting and forfeiture of Shares under this Award shall be subject to any other written agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Related Company and, to the extent not otherwise addressed in any such written agreement, shall be treated as expressly provided under the Plan (for example, in connection with a Company Transaction under Section 15.3 of the Plan).

6. Section 83(b) Election for Restricted Stock Award; Independent Tax Advice

Under Section 83(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the Participant will be taxed on the Shares on the date the Shares vest and the forfeiture restrictions lapse as set forth in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, based on their fair market value on such date, at ordinary income rates subject to payroll and withholding tax and tax reporting, as applicable. For this purpose, the term “forfeiture restrictions” means the right of the Company to receive back any Unvested Shares upon a Termination of Service. Under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant may elect to be taxed on the Shares on the Grant Date, based upon their fair market value on such date, at ordinary income rates subject to payroll and withholding tax and tax reporting, rather than when and as the Unvested Shares cease to be subject to the forfeiture restrictions. If Participant elects to accelerate the date on which he or she is taxed on the Shares under Section 83(b), an election (an “83(b) Election”) to such effect must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the Grant Date of the Award and applicable withholding taxes must be paid to the Company at that time.

There are significant risks associated with the decision to make an 83(b) Election. If the Participant makes an 83(b) Election and the Unvested Shares are subsequently forfeited to the

Company, the Participant will not be entitled to recover the taxes paid by claiming a deduction for the ordinary income previously recognized as a result of the 83(b) Election. If the Participant makes an 83(b) Election and the value of the Unvested Shares subsequently declines, the 83(b) Election may cause the Participant to recognize more compensation income than otherwise would have been the case. On the other hand, if the value of the Unvested Shares increases and the Participant has not made an 83(b) Election, Participant may recognize more compensation income than otherwise would have been the case.

The foregoing is only a summary of the federal income tax laws that apply to the Shares under this Agreement and does not purport to be complete. The actual tax consequences of receiving or disposing of the Shares are complicated and depend, in part, on the Participant’s specific situation and may also depend on the resolution of currently uncertain tax law and other variables not within the control of the Company. THEREFORE, THE PARTICIPANT SHOULD SEEK INDEPENDENT ADVICE REGARDING THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL TAX LAW AND THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY, STATE OR FOREIGN COUNTRY TO WHICH THE PARTICIPANT IS SUBJECT. By accepting this Agreement, Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she has either consulted with a competent tax advisor independent of the Company to obtain tax advice concerning the Shares in light of the Participant’s specific situation or has had the opportunity to consult with such a tax advisor and has chosen not to do so.

The form for making an 83(b) Election is available from the Company. If the Participant determines to make an 83(b) Election, it is the Participant’s responsibility to file such an election with the Internal Revenue Service within the 30-day period after the Grant Date, to deliver to the Company a signed copy of the 83(b) Election, to file an additional copy of such election form with the Participant’s federal income tax return for the calendar year in which the Grant Date occurs and to pay applicable withholding taxes to the Company at that time.

7. Book Entry Registration of the Shares; Delivery of Shares

The Company may at its election either (i) after the Date of Grant, issue a certificate representing the Shares subject to this Agreement and place a legend on and stop transfer notice describing the restrictions on and forfeitability of such Shares, in which case the Company may retain such certificates unless and until the Shares represented by such certificate have vested and may cancel such certificate if and to the extent that the Shares are forfeited or otherwise required to be transferred back to the Company, or (ii) not issue any certificate representing Shares subject to this Agreement and instead document the Participant’s interest in the Shares by registering the Shares with the Company’s transfer agent (or another custodian selected by the Company) in book entry form in the Participant’s name with the applicable restrictions noted in the book entry system, in which case no certificate(s) representing all or a part of the Shares will be issued unless and until the Shares become Vested Shares. The Company may provide a reasonable delay in the issuance or delivery of Vested Shares as it determines appropriate to address tax withholding and other administrative matters.

8. Stop-Transfer Notices

The Company will not be required to (a) transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or transferred in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) treat as the owner of the Shares, or otherwise accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any transferee to whom the Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement.

9. Withholding and Disposition of Shares

9.1 Generally

The Participant is liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award. The Company does not make any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of the Award or the subsequent sale of Shares issuable pursuant to the Award. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s tax liability.

9.2 Payment of Withholding Taxes

Prior to any event in connection with the Award (e.g., vesting) that the Company determines may result in any domestic or foreign tax withholding obligation, whether national, federal, state or local, including any social tax obligation (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”), the Participant is required to arrange for the satisfaction of the minimum amount of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Company.

(a) By Withholding Shares. Unless Participant elects to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by an alternative means in accordance with clause (b) below, Participant’s acceptance of this Award constitutes Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company to withhold on the Participant’s behalf the number of Shares from those Shares issuable to the Participant at the time when the Award becomes vested as the Company determines to be sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation.

(b) By Other Payment. At any time not less than five (5) business days before any Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., before a Vesting Date), Participant may notify the Company of Participant’s election to pay Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation by wire transfer, check or other means permitted by the Company. In such case, the Participant shall satisfy his or her tax withholding obligation by paying to the Company on such date as it shall specify an amount that the Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the expected Tax Withholding Obligation by (i) wire transfer to such account as the Company may direct, (ii) delivery of a check payable to the Company, Attn: Leadership Rewards, Stock Administrator, Mail Stop WMC0705, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, or such other address as the Company may from time to time direct, or (iii) such other means as the Company may establish or permit. Participant agrees and acknowledges that prior to the date the Tax Withholding Obligation arises, the Company will be required to estimate the amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation and accordingly will require the amount paid to the Company under this Paragraph 9.2(b) to be more than the minimum amount that may actually be due and that, if Participant has not delivered payment of a sufficient amount to the Company to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation (regardless of whether as a result of the Company underestimating the required payment or Participant failing to timely make the required payment), the additional Tax Withholding Obligation amounts shall be satisfied in the manner specified in Paragraph 9.2(a) above.

10. Plan Controls

The terms of the Notice of Grant and this Agreement are governed by the terms of the Plan, as it exists on the date of the grant and as the Plan is amended from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Notice of Grant or this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control, except as expressly stated otherwise. The term “Section” generally refers to provisions within the Plan; provided, however, the term “Paragraph” shall refer to a provision of this Agreement.

11. Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item

By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Award, Participant acknowledges that: (i) Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (ii) the value of the Award is an extraordinary item which is outside the scope of any employment contract with Participant; (iii) the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including without limitation for calculating any benefits, severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, and Participant will not be entitled to compensation or damages as a consequence of Participant’s forfeiture of any unvested portion of the Award as a result of Participant’s Termination of Service with the Company or any Related Company for any reason; and (iv) in the event that Participant is not a direct employee of Company, the grant of the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company or any Related Company and the grant of the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Participant’s employer, the Company or any Related Company. The Company shall be under no obligation whatsoever to advise the Participant of the existence, maturity or termination of any of Participant’s rights hereunder and Participant shall be responsible for familiarizing himself or herself with all matters contained herein and in the Plan which may affect any of Participant’s rights or privileges hereunder.

12. Committee Authority

Any question concerning the interpretation of this Agreement or the Plan, any adjustments required to be made under the Plan, and any controversy that may arise under the Plan or this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee (including any person(s) to whom the Committee has delegated its authority) in its sole and absolute discretion. Such decision by the Committee shall be final and binding.

13. Agreement Not To Solicit Personnel

In consideration for the granting of the Award and Participant’s access as an employee of the Company or a Related Company to employees, contractors and consultants of the Company and Related Companies, Participant agrees that, during Participant’s employment with the Company or a Related Company, and for a period of one year following Termination of Service for Cause or Termination of Service voluntarily, Participant will not in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicit, encourage, induce, or recruit any person who is then an employee, contractor, or consultant of the Company or a Related Company, and whom Participant worked with, supervised, or had access to confidential information about while employed by Company or a Related Company, to seek or accept employment or a contractual or consulting engagement with any business that competes with or provides services comparable to those provided by the Company. Should Participant breach the agreement set forth in this Paragraph 13, in addition to any other remedy available to the Company, Participate shall forfeit any

Unvested Shares, which shall be cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to the Participant; Participant shall return to the Company any Vested Shares without payment of any consideration to the Participant; and, for any Vested Shares sold or otherwise transferred by Participant, Participant shall immediately pay to the Company the fair market value of those Vested Shares as of the date they were sold or otherwise transferred by Participant. The parties agree that, to the extent the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 13 are found to be unenforceable in any respect, this Paragraph shall be construed to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Intellectual Property Ownership

Washington Mutual will own all rights to the results of Participant’s work, including inventions and other intellectual property developed using Company equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information. It will also own all rights to the results of any other effort of Participant (outside of Participant’s performance of Washington Mutual work) that relate directly to Participant’s work or to the Company’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. Washington Mutual’s rights extend to anything that is authored, conceived, invented, written, reduced to practice, improved or made by Participant, alone or jointly with others, during the period of Participant’s employment by the Company or a Related Company. To the extent that the results of Participant’s work or other effort constitute a “work made for hire” as defined under U.S. copyright law, the copyright shall belong solely to the Company. Otherwise, to the extent that such results are legally protectable, then Participant hereby irrevocably assigns all copyrights, patent rights, and other proprietary rights therein to the Company, and no further action by Participant is required to grant ownership to Washington Mutual. Participant will assist in preparing and executing documents, and will take any other steps requested by Washington Mutual, to vest, confirm or demonstrate its ownership rights, and Participant will not at any time contest the validity of such rights. Participant understands that the termination of Participant’s employment will not terminate or invalidate any of Participant’s obligations, or Washington Mutual’s rights, as described above.

Participant understands that the above commitments are in furtherance of the WaMu Intellectual Property Policy (a copy of which Participant has had an opportunity to review and is also found on xxxx.xxx), which is incorporated herein but not set forth in full due to space limitations. If Participant lives or works in Washington, California, Illinois, or in any other state mentioned in the Invention Notice section of the policy, then the above assignment does not apply to inventions described in the Invention Notice for Participant’s state.
