2006

I.   PURPOSE:

1.	Ensure achievement of strategic goals.
2.	Align management more closely with shareholder
3.	Strengthen links between pay and performance.

II.	ELIGIBILITY:
	Senior Vice Presidents and above and certain other officers based upon corporate responsibility who are not participants in another established incentive plan with payment amounts determined by performance in relation to goal. Awards will be pro-rated based on months served for staff members with less than 12 months of service in a Plan Year. Staff members become eligible to participate in the plan by virtue of promotion or new hire. A staff member who terminates employment before the Plan Year is not eligible to receive an award.
III.	PARTICIPATION RATE:
	The participation rate for individual positions is benchmarked from market data research provided by various surveys and consultants.
VI.	INCENTIVE COMPONENTS:
	The Management Incentive Plan components consist of:

• Initial factors: Net Interest Income, Low Cost Deposits, Total Deposits, Fee Income, Net Charge-Offs, Non-Performing Assets and Expense Management.

• Secondary factors: A weighted EPS and ROE factor will be placed against the initial factor weighted average to determine an adjusted weighted average payout.

• Tertiary factors: An NII Peer Ranking vs. Peer Group factor may be used to determine the FINAL weighted average factor for the Corporate Component portion of the payout.

V.	AWARD DETERMINATION:
	Salary x Participation Rate x Service Factor = Pool

Pool is broken for theLeadership Group Members as follows:

VI.	PERFORMANCE FACTOR:
	For the discretionary component, a performance indicator of 0% to 150% will be applied. Goals should be set at levels that are challenging to reach at 100% — Achievement should be based on meeting all expectations in every way. It is possible to exceed 100% performance but this type of evaluation should be reserved for truly extraordinary performance
VII.	SERVICE FACTOR:
	The service factor is equal to the number of months the participant is employed with the corporation during the plan year.Example: 1.0 is equal to 12 months, .5 is equal to 6 months.
VIII.	AWARD PAYMENTS:
	All awards earned under Management Incentive Plan will be paid as soon as practical following approval by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee.
IX.	ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS:
	The Management Incentive Plan shall be administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Corporation.
	While all attempts will be made to follow the incentive formulas and metrics, subjective adjustments occasionally can and will be made both upwards and downwards based on management discretion which will require CEO approval. Adjustments will be considered based on value of an individual’s contribution to performance during the year and not based on comparison to prior year awards, comparison to peer’s incentive levels, attitude, effort, etc. In general, subjective adjustments will be the exception and not the rule. Management will however reserve the right to make these subjective adjustments if necessary to be equally fair to shareholders and plan participants.
	The incentive award for the Chairman and President and CEO will be determined by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of Citizens Banking Corporation Board of Directors.
	A special award fund (Discretionary) equal to 15% of the aggregate incentive award will be available for individual awards as determined by the President and CEO. Awards from this fund are made to staff members who are not participants in the Management Incentive Plan.
	Awards for the Discretionary Fund will be made only in recognition of exemplary achievements. Distribution of all available amounts in this fund is not mandatory.
	Participation in the Management Incentive Plan shall not be construed as giving any employee the right to continued employment with the corporation for the full or for any subsequent period.
