ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
4.01. ROLE OF THE COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered and
interpreted by the Committee, which shall have all of the powers allocated to
it in this and other Sections of the Plan. Members of the Committee shall not
be eligible to receive a discretionary Plan Share Award. The Committee shall
have the power to interpret and construe the terms and provisions of the Plan
or of any Plan Share Award granted hereunder, and all such interpretations and
constructions by the Committee shall be final and binding. The Committee shall
act by vote or written consent of a majority of its members. Subject to the
express provisions and limitations of the Plan, the Committee may adopt such
rules, regulations and procedures as it deems appropriate for the conduct of
its affairs. The Committee shall report its actions and decisions with respect
to the Plan to the Board at appropriate times, but in no event less than one
time per calendar year. The Committee shall appoint one or more individuals
(normally from among its members) to act as Trustees in accordance with the
provisions of this Plan and Trust and the terms of Article VIII hereof.
4.02. ROLE OF THE BOARD. The members of the Committee and the Trustee or
the Trustees shall be appointed or approved by the Board. The Board may, in
its discretion, from time to time, remove members from or add members to the
Committee and may remove, replace or add Trustees. The Board may not revoke
any Plan Share Award already made. Members of the Board who are eligible for,
or who have been granted, Plan Share Awards may not vote on any matters
affecting the administration of the Plan or the grant of Plan Shares or Plan
Share Awards (although such members may be counted in determining the existence
of the quorum at any meeting of the Board during which actions with regard
thereto are taken).
4.03. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. No member of the Board or the Committee
shall be liable for any determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or any Plan Shares or Plan Share Awards it grants. If a member of the
Board or the Committee is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of anything done or not
done by him in such capacity under or with respect to the Plan, the Company and
its Subsidiaries shall indemnify such member against expense (including
attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such member in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if the member acted in good faith and in the manner he reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.
5
ARTICLE V
CONTRIBUTIONS
5.01. AMOUNT AND TIMING OF CONTRIBUTIONS. The Board shall determine the
amounts (or the method of computing the amounts) to be contributed by the
Company and its Subsidiaries to the Trust established under this Plan. Such
amounts shall be paid to the Trust at the time of contribution. No
contributions by Employees or Recipients shall be permitted.
5.02. INVESTMENT OF TRUST ASSETS AFTER CONVERSION. The Trustee shall
invest the Trust's assets exclusively in the Company's Common Stock PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Trust shall not purchase more than 4% of the total shares of
Common Stock issued. Any earnings received with respect to Common Stock held
by the Plan shall be held in an interest bearing account. Any earnings
received with respect to Common Stock subject to a Plan Share Award shall be
held in an interest bearing account on behalf of the individual Recipient.
ARTICLE VI
ELIGIBILITY AND ALLOCATIONS
6.01. ELIGIBILITY. Officers and key management Employees of the Company,
the Bank and its Subsidiaries are eligible to receive Plan Share Awards. Non-
employee Directors may receive Plan Share Awards only pursuant to Article X
hereof.
6.02. ALLOCATIONS. The Committee shall determine which of the Employees
referenced in 6.01 above will be granted Plan Share Awards and the number of
Shares covered by each Award, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the number of Shares
covered by such Awards may not exceed the number of shares purchased by the
Trustee prior to the grant of such Awards, and PROVIDED FURTHER that in no
event shall any Awards be made which will violate the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, the Federal Stock Charter or Bylaws or
Plan of Conversion of the Bank, or any applicable federal or state law or
regulation. In the event Plan Shares are forfeited for any reason, the
Committee may determine which of the Employees will be granted additional Plan
Shares to be awarded from forfeited Plan Shares. In selecting those Employees
to whom Plan Share Awards will be granted and the number of Shares covered by
such Awards, the Committee shall consider the position and responsibilities of
the eligible Employees, the value of their services to the Company and the Bank
and its Subsidiaries, and any other factors the Committee may deem relevant,
including the recommendations of the Chairman of the Board.
6.03. FORM OF ALLOCATION. As promptly as practicable after a
determination is made pursuant to Section 6.02 that a Plan Share Award is to be
issued, the Committee shall notify the Recipient in writing of the grant of the
Award, the number of Plan Shares covered by the Award and the terms upon which
the Plan Shares subject to the Award may be earned. The date on which the
6
Committee so notifies the Recipient shall be considered the date of grant of
the Plan Share Award. The Committee shall maintain records as to all grants of
Plan Share Awards under the Plan.
6.04. ALLOCATIONS NOT REQUIRED. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, no Employee shall have any right or entitlement to
receive a Plan Share Award hereunder, such Awards being at the total discretion
of the Committee, nor shall the salaried Employees as a group have such a
right.
ARTICLE VII
EARNING AND DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN SHARES
VOTING RIGHTS
7.01. EARNING PLAN SHARES: FORFEITURES. Unless the Committee shall
specifically state to the contrary at the time a Plan Share Award is granted,
Plan Shares subject to an Award shall be earned by a Recipient in five equal
annual installments over the first five years after the date of grant, if the
Employee remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary continuously
throughout such period, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Committee may provide for a
less rapid earnings rate than that set forth herein for all Awards or for any
given Award. If the employment of a Recipient is terminated prior to the fifth
anniversary (or such later date as the Committee shall determine) of the date
of grant of an Award for any reason (except as specifically provided in
subsections (a) and (b) below), the Recipient shall forfeit the right to earn
any shares subject to the Award which have not theretofore been earned. No
fractional shares shall be issued.
(a) EXCEPTION FOR TERMINATIONS DUE TO DEATH OR DISABILITY.
Notwithstanding the general rule contained in this Section, Plan Shares
subject to a Plan Share Award held by a Recipient whose employment with
the Company or a Subsidiary terminates due to Death or Disability, or any
part of such Award that has not theretofore been earned, shall be deemed
earned as of the Recipient's last day of employment with the Company or a
Subsidiary.
(b) REVOCATION FOR MISCONDUCT. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Board may, by resolution, immediately revoke, rescind
and terminate any Plan Share Award, or portion thereof, previously awarded
under this Plan, to the extent Plan Shares have not been delivered
thereunder to the Recipient, whether or not yet earned, in the case of an
Employee or Director who is discharged from the Company or a Subsidiary
for cause (as hereinafter defined), or who is discovered after termination
of employment to have engaged in conduct that would have justified
termination for cause. "Cause" is defined as personal dishonesty, willful
misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit,
intentional failure to perform stated duties, or the willful violation of
any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar
7
offenses) which results in a material loss to the Company or its
Subsidiaries, or final cease and desist order.
7.02. DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN SHARES. Plan Shares shall be distributed to
the Recipient or his Beneficiary, as the case may be, as soon as is practicable
after a Plan Share Award is made. All Plan Shares shall be distributed in the
form of Common Stock. One share of Common Stock shall be given for each Plan
Share earned and payable.
7.03. VOTING AND DIVIDEND RIGHTS. No Recipient shall have any voting or
dividend rights or other rights of a stockholder with respect to any Plan
Shares covered by a Plan Share Award prior to the time said Plan Shares are
actually distributed to him. When cash dividends are paid with respect to Plan
Shares allocated to a Recipient, such Recipient shall be entitled to receive an
amount equal to such cash dividend. Stock dividends with respect to shares
allocated to a Recipient shall be distributed when the Plan Shares with respect
to which they are declared are so distributable.
ARTICLE VIII
TRUST
8.01. TRUST. The Trustees shall receive, hold, administer, invest and
make distributions and disbursements from the Trust in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan and Trust and the applicable directions, rules,
regulations, procedures and policies established by the Committee pursuant to
the Plan.
8.02. MANAGEMENT OF TRUST. It is the intent of this Plan and Trust that
the Trustees shall have complete authority and discretion with respect to the
management, control and investment of the Trust, and that the Trustee shall
invest all assets of the Trust in Common Stock to the fullest extent
practicable, except to the extent that the Trustees determined that the holding
of monies in cash or cash equivalents is necessary to meet the obligations of
the Trust. In performing their duties, the Trustees shall have the power to do
all things and execute such instruments as may be deemed necessary or proper,
including the following powers:
(a) To invest up to 100% of all Trust assets in Common Stock of the
Company without regard to any law now or hereafter in force limiting
investments for trustees or other fiduciaries. The investment authorized
herein may constitute the only investment of the Trust and Common Stock
shall be newly issued shares, Treasury shares or shares purchased by the
Plan in the open market.
(b) To invest any Trust assets not otherwise invested in accordance
with (a) above in such savings accounts, deposits and certificates of
8
deposit (including those issued by the Company or a Subsidiary),
obligations of the United States government or its agencies or such other
investments as shall be considered the equivalent of cash.
(c) To sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any property at any
time held or acquired by the Trust.
(d) To cause stocks, bonds or other securities to be registered in
the name of a nominee, without the addition of words indicating that such
security is an asset of the Trust (but accurate records shall be
maintained showing that such security is an asset of the Trust).
(e) To hold cash without interest in such amounts as may be, in the
opinion of the Trustees, reasonable for the proper operation of the Plan
and Trust.
(f) To employ brokers, agents, custodians, consultants and
accountants.
(g) To hire counsel to render advice with respect to their rights,
duties and obligations hereunder, and such other legal services or
representations as they may deem desirable.

distributed, to a Recipient or his Beneficiary as a consequence of a
dispute as to the disposition thereof, whether in a segregated account or
held in common with other assets of the Trust.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the Trustees
shall not be required to make any inventory, appraisal or settlement or report
to any court, or to secure any order of court for the exercise of any power
herein contained, or give bond.
8.03. RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS. The Trustees shall maintain accurate and
detailed records and accounts of all transactions of the Trust, which shall be
available at all reasonable times for inspection by any legally entitled person
or entity to the extent required by applicable law, or any other person
determined by the Committee.
8.04. EARNINGS. All earnings, gains and losses with respect to Trust
assets shall be allocated, in accordance with a reasonable procedure adopted by
the Committee, to bookkeeping accounts for Recipients or to the general account
of the Trust, depending on the nature and allocation of the assets generating
such earnings, gains and losses. In particular, any earnings on cash dividends
received with respect to shares of Common Stock shall be allocated to accounts
for Recipients, if such shares are the subject of outstanding Plan Share
Awards, or, otherwise to a reserve established by the Plan.
9
8.05. EXPENSES. All costs and expenses incurred in the operation and
administration of this Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
8.06. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall indemnify,
defend and hold the Trustees harmless against all claims, expenses and
liabilities arising out of or related to the exercise of the Trustees' powers
and the discharge of their duties hereunder, unless the same shall be due to
their gross negligence or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
9.01. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board may, by resolution, at
any time, amend or terminate the Plan. The power to amend or terminate shall
include the power to direct the Trustees to return to the Company or the Bank
all or any part of the assets of the Trust, as well as shares of Common Stock
and other assets subject to Plan Share Awards but not yet earned by the
Employees to whom they are allocated.
9.02. NONTRANSFERABLE. Plan Share Awards and rights to Plan Shares shall
not be transferable by a Recipient and, during the lifetime of the Recipient,

benefits hereunder.

a Subsidiary.

the State of Illinois.
