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.

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.
