 THIS AGREEMENT is entered into effective as of
January 1, 2011, by and between The PrivateBank and Trust Company (“Bank”) and Norman Bobins Consulting LLC (“NBC”). 
 WHEREAS, Norman R. Bobins, the owner and manager of NBC, serves as chairman of the Bank and in connection therewith has been provided office space within existing Bank’s premises to facilitate his
services to the Bank and availability and access to Bank management for the convenience of the Bank; 
 WHEREAS, NBC is engaged
in the business of providing various consulting services, including services to the Bank, and desires to lease employees to perform administrative and other tasks in connection with the various business and other activities of NBC and its
management; and 
 WHEREAS, Bank is willing to lease to NBC certain employees of the Bank under the terms specified herein; and

 NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual agreements and covenants contained herein, NBC and Bank agree as follows:

 1. Lease of Employees. During the term of this Agreement: 

(a) Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply to NBC the services of the persons previously identified and
mutually agreed upon, or other qualified personnel reasonably acceptable to NBC (hereafter “Assigned Personnel”). Assigned Personnel shall work in suitable office space conveniently located in existing Bank facilities while this Agreement
is in effect. 
 (b) Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to employ each of the Assigned Personnel for
so long as NBC continues to desire such services hereunder, and shall maintain a personnel file and personnel records for Assigned Personnel. All Assigned Personnel shall be considered employees of Bank. Bank shall assume sole and exclusive
responsibility for the payment of wages to Assigned Personnel. Bank shall, with respect to said personnel, be responsible for withholding federal, state and local income taxes, withholding and paying over the employee share, and paying the employer
share, of Social Security and Medicare taxes, unemployment insurance contributions, and any other payroll-related taxes required by law. Bank shall be responsible for maintaining workers’ compensation insurance coverage for Assigned Personnel
in an amount and under such terms as required by state law. 
 (c) Assigned Personnel will be employed by Bank
upon terms substantially consistent with similarly situated employees, it being understood and agreed that Bank will have no obligation to provide raises or make any bonus or equity awards or other discretionary payments to the Assigned Personnel.
Bank will consult with NBC in advance of any such awards or payments. 
 (d) NBC shall reimburse Bank for all
payments and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with its employment of the Assigned Personnel, including payroll, bonus, overtime, severance, benefit and other payments or awards, as well as the employer share of Social Security and Medicare
taxes, unemployment insurance contributions, and any other payroll-related taxes paid by the Bank with respect to the Assigned Personnel. In addition, NBC shall reimburse the Bank for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Assigned Personnel on
behalf of NBC. The Bank shall invoice NBC for such amounts on a monthly basis and NBC shall make prompt payment to the Bank of amounts owing through direct debit authorizations or other arrangements mutually agreed upon. NBC shall not pay Assigned
Personnel directly without Bank’s prior written consent. 







 (e) NBC shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws in
dealings with Assigned Personnel. Bank shall incur no liability for any violation or alleged violation of law or regulation by NBC. 
 2. Term of Agreement. Unless earlier terminated by mutual agreement of the parties, this Agreement shall continue so long as NBC serves as a director of the Bank and PrivateBancorp, Inc. In
addition, either party may terminate this agreement upon 60 days prior notice to the other. 
 3. Entire Agreement. This
Agreement constitutes and represents the entire Agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior understandings or agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto respecting the subject matter herein. This Agreement may only be
amended by an agreement in writing executed by all of the parties hereto. The unenforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision of this Agreement shall not render the other provisions unenforceable, invalid or illegal. 

4. Assignment. Neither party shall assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under this Agreement on any person or party other than the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. 
 5. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective
unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom it is asserted, and any such written waiver shall only be applicable to the specific instance to which is related and shall not be deemed to be a continuing or further waiver. 

6. Severability. Each and every covenant and agreement herein shall be separate and independent from any other and the breach of
any covenant or agreement shall in no way or manner discharge or relieve the performance of any other covenant or agreement.
