4. The Committee may in its discretion, reduce or eliminate the amount of the incentive determined under this Award for any reason.

The risk management assessment will include review of relevant key risk indicators (KRIs) used in the TCF Enterprise Risk Management program. The Committee has authority to make interpretations under this Award and to approve all calculations made for this Award. Incentive compensation under this Award will be paid in cash as soon as possible following certification of the performance goals by the Committee, but no later than March 15, 2016.

5. The Committee may amend this Award from time to time as it deems appropriate, except that any such amendment shall be in writing and signed by both TCF Financial and the participant and no amendment may contravene requirements of the Performance-Based Plan. This Award shall not be construed as a contract of employment, nor shall it be considered a term of employment, nor as a binding contract to pay awards.
6. This Award is effective for service on or after January 1, 2015.
