 MUTUAL SAVINGS BANK 
 BENEFIT RESTORATION PLAN 
  
 ARTICLE 1  
 INTRODUCTION 
  
 The Mutual Savings Bank Benefit Restoration Plan was initially established by Mutual Savings Bank to provide eligible employees with certain benefits
which they are unable to receive under the defined contribution retirement plans in which they participate because of the limitations on contributions and benefits imposed by Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k), 401(m), 402(g) and 415 of the Internal
Revenue Code (the “Code”). The Mutual Savings Bank Restoration Plan is now being amended and restated, effective January 1, 2004 (the “Restatement Date”), to divide it into two separate plans and to make Bank Mutual Corporation
(the “Company”) the sponsor of the two plans. The two separate plans, called the Bank Mutual Corporation Savings Restoration Plan (the “Savings Restoration Plan”) and the Bank Mutual Corporation ESOP Restoration Plan (the
“ESOP Restoration Plan”), shall both be contained in this document. On the Restatement Date, participants’ Accounts shall be divided between the Savings Restoration Plan and the ESOP Restoration Plan. Thereafter, Participants in the
Savings Restoration Plan shall be eligible for benefits as described in Article 3 and Participants in the ESOP Restoration Plan shall be eligible for benefits as described in Article 4. 
  
 ARTICLE 2 
 PARTICIPATION 
  
 2.1 Selection of
Participants. All participants in the ESOP whose annual compensation is in excess of the limit of Code Section 401(a)(17) (or any successor or similar limits that may hereafter be enacted) shall be eligible to participate in the ESOP Restoration
Plan. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall select the officers and other management or highly compensated employees of the Company who will be eligible to participate in the Savings Restoration Plan. Each selected
individual shall be referred to as a “Participant.” 
  
 2.2 Limitation on Eligibility. No employee shall have any right to be a Participant in the Savings Restoration Plan unless approved by the Board. It is intended that participation in the Savings Restoration Plan and ESOP Restoration
Plan be limited to a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and that the designation of Participants will generally occur near the
end of a calendar year, to become effective as of the start of the immediately following calendar year. 
  
 ARTICLE 3  
 SAVINGS RESTORATION PLAN CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

  
 3.1 Compensation Deferrals. A Participant who has been
designated by the Board as eligible to participate in the Savings Restoration Plan and who is prevented from making the maximum percentage deferral election under the Savings Plan may elect to defer compensation under the Savings Restoration Plan.
To defer compensation under the Savings Restoration Plan, a written deferral election form regarding the Participant’s compensation must be filed with the Company in accordance with rules established by the Company. 
  
 3.2 Matching Contribution. It is the intent of the Savings Restoration
Plan that a Participant not suffer any loss with respect to an employer matching contribution under the Savings Plan because of the Internal Revenue Code limits on contributions and allocations. Therefore, the Company will make a matching
contribution to the Savings Restoration Plan equal to the additional employer matching contribution that would have been made to the Savings Plan in the absence of the limits. The matching contribution to the Savings Restoration Plan will be based
upon the Participant’s combined salary deferrals to the Savings Plan and the Savings Restoration Plan, the matching contribution formula in the Savings Plan and the matching contribution actually allocated in the Savings Plan. 







 3.3 Time of Crediting. A Participant’s Deferrals shall be credited to the Participant’s
Deferral Account as soon as practical following the date they are withheld from the Participant’s Compensation. Company Matching Contributions for a Plan Year shall be credited to eligible Participants’ Accounts at substantially the same
time as such amounts would have been allocated to the Participant in the Savings Plan if allowed thereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE 4  
 ESOP RESTORATION PLAN CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

  
 4.1 ESOP Restoration Contribution. It is the intent of
the ESOP Restoration Plan that a Participant not suffer any loss with respect to an employer contribution under the ESOP because of (a) the limitation on annual compensation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, or (b) any limitations on benefits
and contributions imposed by Section 415 of the Code. The allocation under the ESOP Restoration Plan shall be determined by multiplying the Participant’s compensation (without regard to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code) by
the percentage of contributions and forfeitures allocated to Participants under the ESOP, and subtracting the allocation actually made to the Participant in the ESOP. To illustrate, a Participant with compensation that is $40,000 in excess of the
401(a)(17) limit would receive an ESOP Restoration Plan allocation of $1,600 if the ESOP allocation percentage is 4%. 
  
 4.2 Time of Crediting. ESOP restoration contributions for a Plan Year shall be credited to eligible Participants’ Accounts at substantially
the same time as such amounts would have been allocated to the Participant in the ESOP if allowed thereunder. 
  
 4.3 Limit on Contributions. Notwithstanding Section 4.1, no Participant may receive an allocation for any year in excess of 25% of the
Participant’s cash compensation for the year. 
  
 ARTICLE 5

 ACCOUNTING 
  
 5.1 Separate Accounts. A separate Deferral Account and Matching Account will be maintained for each Participant in the Savings Restoration Plan. A
separate ESOP Account will be maintained for each Participant in the ESOP Restoration Plan. The Accounts shall be adjusted by deemed earnings or losses provided in Section 5.2 below. The establishment and maintenance of a separate account for each
Participant shall not be construed as giving the Participant or any other person any interest in any specific asset of the Company. 
  
 5.2 Savings Restoration Plan Earnings or Losses. For purposes of determining the earnings or losses on a Participant’s Account in the Savings
Restoration Plan, the following apply: 
  

	 	(a)	Each Participant may select, from among the investment alternatives designated by the Company from time to time, the investment alternative(s) in which all or part of his Account
shall be deemed to be invested; provided that after the Restatement Date, no Participant may invest any additional funds in Company Stock or any Company stock-type fund. 

  

	 	(b)	The Participant shall make an investment designation in the form and manner prescribed by the Company or its designee, which shall remain effective until another valid designation
has been made by the Participant as herein provided. The Participant may amend his investment designation at such times and in such manner as prescribed by the Company or its designee. A timely change to the Participant’s investment designation
shall become effective as soon as administratively practicable in accordance with procedures established by the Company or its designee. 

  

	 	(c)	The investment alternatives deemed to be made available to the Participant, and any limitation on the maximum or minimum percentages of the Participant’s Account that may be
deemed to be invested in any particular alternative, shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 









	 	(d)	Except as provided below, the Participant’s Account shall be deemed to be invested in accordance with his investment designations, and the Account shall be credited with
earnings (or losses) as if invested as directed by the Participant. If the Participant does not furnish complete investment instructions, or the investment instructions from the Participant are unclear, then the Account shall be credited with
earnings (or losses) at a rate equal to five percent (5%) per year. The Accounts maintained pursuant to this Plan are for bookkeeping purposes only and the Company is under no obligation to invest such amounts. 

  
 5.3 ESOP Restoration Plan Earnings or Losses. Earnings and losses in a
Participant’s ESOP Account shall be based upon the return on Bank Mutual Corporation common stock. 
  
 ARTICLE 6 
 VESTING 
  
 6.1 Vesting in Deferrals. Each Participant shall at all times be fully vested in his or her Deferral Account.

  
 6.2 Vesting in Company Contributions. A Participant
shall be vested in his or her Matching Account under the Savings Restoration Plan in the same percentage as the Participant is vested in any matching contributions under the Savings Plan. 
  
 6.3 Vesting in ESOP Contributions. A Participant shall be vested in any ESOP contributions under the ESOP Restoration
Plan in the same percentage as the Participant is vested in any ESOP contributions under the ESOP. 
  
 6.4 Forfeitures. Any amounts credited to a Participant’s Matching and ESOP Account in which the Participant is not vested shall be forfeited
upon the date that the Participant terminates employment for any reason. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 
 DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS 
  

7.1 Timing of Distribution. Distribution of the vested Accounts of a Participant in the Savings Restoration Plan and the ESOP Restoration Plan
whose employment terminated for any reason shall commence within sixty (60) days following the close of the calendar year in which the termination of employment occurs. 
  
 7.2 Form of Distribution. A Participant shall receive a distribution in substantially equal annual payments over a
period of five (5) years. Each annual installment shall be an amount equal to the Participant’s vested Account balance on the year-end valuation date of the preceding year, divided by the number of installments remaining. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Participant may receive an alternative form of distribution, with the Company’s consent, by requesting such alternative form of distribution at least six (6) months before the distribution is to commence. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
 CLAIMS PROCEDURES 
  
 8.1 Claims Procedures. Following a Participant’s termination of employment, the Company shall calculate the amount payable under the Savings Restoration Plan and the ESOP Restoration Plan. A Participant
who disagrees with the calculation may file a request for any additional amount that the Participant believes is payable. Claims made for additional benefits under the plan(s) shall be processed in accordance with the following claims procedures:

  

	 	(a)	Claims. Claims for additional benefits shall be made in writing to the Company. 









	 	(b)	Notice of Denial. If a claim made for benefits by a Participant is not approved in its entirety, the Participant shall be so notified in writing by the Company within ninety
(90) days. Notice wholly or partially denying a claim shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant and contain: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to the pertinent plan
provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Participant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) an explanation of
the review procedure set forth in this Section 8.1. If such written notice of denial is not furnished within the prescribed time, the claim shall be deemed denied for purposes of proceeding to the review stage described below.


  

	 	(c)	Request for Review. A Participant whose claim for benefits which has been wholly or partially denied, or his duly authorized representative, may request a review of such
denial by the Board of Directors of the Company. A request for review shall be made in writing to the Board of Directors of the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Participant of written notification of denial of such claim and may
contain issues and comments with respect to the claim. 

  

	 	(d)	Review Process. Upon receipt of a request for review of a claim denial, the Board of Directors of the Company shall, within sixty (60) days, review in detail the nature and
foundations of the claim, including any issues and comments submitted by the Participant or his duly authorized representative and the reasons for the prior denial of the claim. After a full and fair review, the Board of Directors of the Company
shall render its decision in writing to the Participant. The decision on review shall include the specific reasons for the decision, be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant, and shall include specific references to the
pertinent plan provisions on which the decision is based. 

  

	 	(e)	Authority of Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Company shall have full and complete authority to determine eligibility for benefits, to construe the terms of
the Savings Restoration Plan and the ESOP Restoration Plan and to decide any matters presented through the claims procedure. Any final determination by the Board of Directors of the Company shall be binding on all parties. If challenged in court,
such determination shall not be subject to de novo review and shall not be overturned unless proven to be arbitrary and capricious upon the evidence considered by the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of such determination.


  
 ARTICLE 9  
 PLAN AMENDMENT 
  
 9.1 Amendment. The Board reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Savings Restoration Plan and the ESOP Restoration Plan at any time;
provided, however, no such action will reduce the amounts then credited to any Participant’s Account, without the consent of the Participant, if living, or the Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, if the Participant is
not living. 
  
 ARTICLE 10 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 10.1 No Assignment. Neither the Company nor the Participant nor any beneficiary shall have the power to transfer, assign or encumber any amounts
payable hereunder. 
  
 10.2 Tax Withholding. The Company
shall have the right to withhold from any amounts payable hereunder any taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld. 
  
 10.3 Grantor Trust. The Company may establish a grantor trust to serve as a vehicle to hold such contributions as the Company may choose to make to
pre-fund its obligations for benefits hereunder, but the trust shall be designed so that the Savings Restoration Plan and the ESOP Restoration Plan remain unfunded plans and a Participant’s rights to benefits under the Savings Restoration Plan
and the ESOP Restoration Plan shall be those of an unsecured creditor of the Company. 







 10.4 Competency of Payees. Every person receiving or claiming payments under the Savings
Restoration Plan and the ESOP Restoration Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent until the date on which the Company receives a written notice, in form and manner acceptable to it, that such person is incompetent and that a
guardian, conservator, or other person legally vested with the care of such person’s estate has been appointed. In the event a guardian or conservator of the estate of any person receiving or claiming payments under the Savings Restoration Plan
and the ESOP Restoration Plan shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, payments may be made to such guardian or conservator provided that proper proof of appointment and continuing qualification is furnished in a form and manner
acceptable to the Company. Any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of any liability therefor. 
  
 10.5 No Right to Employment. Participation in the Savings Restoration Plan and the ESOP Restoration Plan, or any modifications thereof, or the
payment of any benefits hereunder, shall not be construed as giving to the Participant any right to be retained in the service of the Company or its affiliates, limiting in any way the right of the Company or its affiliates to terminate the
Participant’s employment at any time, evidencing any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company or its affiliates will employ the Participant in any particular position or at any particular rate of compensation and/or
guaranteeing the Participant any right to receive a salary increase in any year, such increase being granted only at the sole discretion of the Board.
