Marshall & Ilsley Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, effective as of January 1, 1997 (the “Plan”).




1.02.  Purpose of Plan.

ARTICLE IV




Deferrals and Company Contributions




4.01.  Amount and Manner of Deferral of Compensation.  A Participant must sign and return the Deferral Election, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, to the Company, no later than the date specified by the Company, indicating the amount of the Participant’s salary or other Compensation for such Plan Year which he elects to defer hereunder, which election shall become irrevocable immediately upon commencement of such Plan Year.  A Participant may defer (i) any portion not to exceed eighty percent (80%) of his base salary or (ii) up to 100% of his incentive or (iii) both, provided, however, that (a) the Participant may not defer less than $5,000 in a Plan Year and (b) the Participant’s deferral election for a Plan Year shall relate to Compensation earned by him during such Plan Year whether or not paid during that Plan Year.




If a Participant elects to defer a portion of his salary, the Company shall reduce the Participant’s regular salary by an equal amount in each pay period during the Plan Year of deferral.  If a Participant elects to defer all or a portion of his incentive, the Company shall reduce each such Compensation payment by the percentage or dollar amount elected by the Participant.




4.02.  Amount and Manner of Deferral of Net Shares.  A Participant must sign and return an Election to Defer Stock Option Gains, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, to the Company, no later than the date specified by the Company, containing the information requested, which election shall become irrevocable immediately upon return to the Company.




4.03.  Amount and Manner of Deferral of Restricted Stock Units.  A Participant must return a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, to the Company, no later than the date specified by the Company, containing the information requested, which agreement shall become irrevocable immediately upon return to the Company.




4.04.  Cessation of Deferral.  In the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, a Participant may request in writing that deferrals of Compensation elected by that Participant hereunder cease for the then current Plan Year.  Such Unforeseeable Emergency must inflict hardship upon the Participant and must arise from causes beyond the Participant’s control.  The Administrator shall, in its reasonable judgment, determine whether such an Unforeseeable Emergency exists.  Circumstances that will constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency shall depend on the facts of each case, consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.457-2(h)(4) and (5).  If the Administrator determines that such an Unforeseeable Emergency exists, the deferrals of Compensation for such Plan Year shall cease as to the Participant.  If the Administrator determines that no such emergency exists, the deferrals shall continue as originally elected.  If a Participant, consistent with this paragraph, ceases deferrals in a Plan Year, the Participant may 






5




not resume deferrals of Compensation hereunder (if otherwise eligible therefore) until the second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which such cessation occurred.




4.05. Other Contributions.  In the event that deferrals made by a Participant pursuant to this Plan cause a reduction in the contributions by the Company for the benefit of that Participant to any other qualified or nonqualified retirement plan maintained by the Company, and such reduction is not contributed or credited to any other nonqualified retirement plan, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s account under this Plan an amount equal to such net reductions in benefits.  If, as a result of limitations contained in Sections 401(a)(17) and/or 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or as a result of amounts deferred under the Plan, the contributions made to the profit sharing component of the retirement program of the Company on behalf of a person eligible to participate in the Plan are reduced, the Company shall credit an amount equal to such reduction to an account established for such person (the “SERP Account”).  The SERP Account shall be a separate bookkeeping account and shall vest once the person has five years of vesting service as determined under the profit sharing component of the retirement program of the Company, taking into account service prior to the date hereof.  Aside from the vesting requirement, the SERP Account shall be treated for all purposes of the Plan in the same manner as other Accounts.  In addition, to the extent any amounts owing to a Participant under any incentive compensation plan are in excess of amounts which would be deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Committee requires that such excess amounts be deferred, such amounts shall be credited to the Participant's Account A, as provided below in Section 5.01.




ARTICLE V




Accounts




5.01.  Establishment of Accounts.  Only for the purpose of measuring payments due Participants hereunder, the Company shall maintain on behalf of each Participant two Accounts:  Account A and Account B.  All amounts deferred pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.05 shall be credited to Account A, which shall be denominated in cash.  All amounts deferred pursuant to Sections 4.02 and 4.03 shall be credited to Account B, which shall be denominated in shares of Common Stock or Fidelity Stock.




5.02.  Nature of Accounts.  The Accounts hereunder and assets, if any, acquired by the Company or Trust to measure a Participant’s benefits hereunder, shall not constitute or be treated for any reason as a trust for, property of or a security interest for the benefit of, a Participant, his Beneficiaries or any other person.  Participant and the Company acknowledge that the Plan constitutes a promise by the Company to pay benefits to the Participants or their Beneficiaries, that Participants’ rights hereunder (by electing to defer Compensation, Net Shares or Restricted Units hereunder) are limited to those of general unsecured creditors of the Company and that the establishment of the Plan, acquisition of assets to measure Participant’s benefits hereunder or deferral of all or any portion of a Participants’ Compensation, Net Shares or Restricted Units hereunder does not prevent any property of the Company or the Trust from being subject to the right of all the Company’s creditors.  The Company shall contribute all contributions hereunder 






6




to the Trust, which will conform in all material respects to the terms of the Internal Revenue Service’s model trust, as described in Revenue Procedure 92-64.




5.03.  Maintenance of Account A.




a.

Accounts shall be reconciled on a monthly or more frequent basis, at the Company’s election.  The Company shall increase the Account A of each Participant by (i) the amount, if any, of his Compensation deferred during any relevant period, (ii) the amount, if any, contributed by the Company pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof during the relevant period, and (iii) any income or gains resulting as if the Account A, computed in accordance with subsection b, below, were invested pursuant to the timely-filed Investment Election in effect for such time period and decrease each Participant’s Account A by (iv) any withdrawals or distributions from the Account A during any relevant period and (v) any losses resulting as if the Account A, computed in accordance with subsection b, below, were invested pursuant to the timely-filed Investment Election in effect for such relevant period.




b.

For purposes of computing the investment return on the Account A for any relevant period, the principal balance as of any day in any relevant period shall equal the balance as of the end of the preceding day.




5.04.  Maintenance of Account B.




a.

Accounts shall be reconciled on a monthly or more frequent basis.  The Company shall increase the Account B of each Participant by (i) the amount, if any, of the Net Shares deferred upon the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option by the Participant, (ii) the amount, if any, of the Restricted Units deferred by the Participant, (iii) any shares of Common Stock deemed purchased pursuant to Sections 5.05(b) or 5.06(b) (Net Shares, Restricted Units and deemed purchased shares of Common Stock being hereafter referred to as “Credited Shares”), and (iv) to the extent Credited Shares or shares of Fidelity Stock are held on the record date for any dividend, a number of additional Credited Shares or shares of Fidelity Stock resulting from the reinvestment of dividends on a common investment date, which will typically be any of the first five business days after the payment of the dividend, determined in the sole discretion of an independent brokerage agent.  The Company shall decrease each Participant’s Account B by (iv) any withdrawals or distributions from the Account B during the relevant period and (v) any Restricted Units which fail to vest because the Participant forfeits the Restricted Units and (vi) any shares of Fidelity Stock deemed sold pursuant to Section 5.06(b) or (c).  Consistent with the treatment of Restricted Shares, any dividends credited as regards Restricted Units shall not be forfeited, even if the Participant later forfeits the Restricted Units.




b.

In the event of any distribution with respect to Common Stock or Fidelity Stock other than a cash dividend, such as a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction, each Participant’s Account B shall be credited with a number of additional shares or other consideration as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Account B will be denominated in whole and fractional shares.  In clarification of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of the Separation Transaction, a Participant’s Account B held both Common Stock and Metavante Stock determined as if the Participant were a shareholder of the Company for the 






7




number of shares in his Account B (including Restricted Units) immediately prior to the Separation Transaction.  Upon the occurrence of the merger of Metavante with and into Fidelity, the relevant sub-account of a Participant’s Account B was credited with the appropriate number of shares of Fidelity Stock that the Participant would have received if he had held the Metavante Stock directly.




c.

In the event of a Change in Control or a Change in Control of any other corporation whose stock is held in Account B, a Participant’s Account B shall be credited with the same amount and type of consideration which a shareholder of the Company or such other corporation would have received holding the same number of shares of Common Stock or other corporation’s stock as are held in the Participant’s Account B at the time of the payment of the consideration.  If there is a shareholder election as to the type of consideration received in a Change in Control, a Participant’s Account B will be credited with consideration assuming that the Participant elected the maximum amount of stock which is available to electing shareholders, adjusted for any proration required because of over-subscription.




5.05.  Investment Elections for Account A.




a.

A Participant may file an Investment Election setting forth his investment preferences used to value his Account A.  The initial investment options available to Participants are (i) the Moody’s A Long-Term Corporate Bond Rate (the “Moody’s Option”) adjusted annually to equal the average yield for the month of September of the previous year and (ii) the total return of the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund (VINIX) for the applicable period (the “VINIX Option”).  All investment elections must be in increments of 10%.  If a Participant does not file an Investment Election, the Participant will be deemed to have elected the Moody’s Option.




b.

Starting with the Investment Election effective for the last business day of November, 2009 and continuing for all future Investment Elections, a Participant may elect to invest deferrals in Common Stock or transfer all or part of his amounts in Account A into Account B constructively holding Common Stock.  Amounts invested in, or transferred from Account A to, Account B may never be transferred to Account A, unless cash is received in a Change in Control, in which event it will automatically be transferred to Account A.  Subject to compliance with Section 5.05(c) hereof, the dollar amounts invested in Account B will be deemed invested in Common Stock on such date on or after the last business day of the applicable month as is practicable based on the purchase by the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation Amended And Restated Deferred Compensation Trust III (the “Trust”) of Common Stock on such date, which shares of Common Stock will then be credited to Account B denominated in Common Stock.  Any transaction costs incurred by the Trust will reduce the proceeds available to be deemed invested in Common Stock.




c.

The Participant may change his investment preferences monthly, no later than 3 PM Central Time on the last business day of an applicable month.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is subject to the Company’s insider trading policy, an Investment Election under Section 5.05(b) can only be made when the trading window is open, and will 






8




become irrevocable as to investments in Common Stock when the trading window closes, even if it is prior to the due date for the election.




d.

A Participant’s Account A shall reflect only the performance of the Moody’s Option or the VINIX Option, as applicable, and the Participant shall have no property right or security interest in the actual assets held by the Trust to provide for the payment of benefits under this Plan.  If a Participant does not file an Investment Election, the Participant will be deemed to have elected the Moody’s Option.




5.06  Investment Elections for Account B after the Separation Transaction and the Merger of Metavante and Fidelity.




a.

After the Separation Transaction, Account B of a Participant was credited with both Common Stock and Metavante Stock.  After the merger of Metavante with and into Fidelity, Account B of a Participant that previously held Metavante Stock was credited with Fidelity Stock in accordance with Section 5.04(c).




b.

The Participant may constructively sell any or all vested shares of Fidelity Stock by delivering to the Company a new Investment Election, no later than 3 PM Central Time on the last business day of such month, setting forth the number of shares to be sold.  The number of shares of Common Stock deemed purchased will equal the actual number of shares of Common Stock that were purchased with the proceeds recognized from the sale of such Fidelity Stock on or after the last business day of the applicable month by the Trust, which shares of Common Stock will then be credited to Account B.  Any transaction costs incurred by the Trust will reduce the proceeds available to be deemed invested in Common Stock.




c.

A Participant can make a deemed sale of Restricted Units of Fidelity Stock by delivering to the Company a new Investment Election, no later than 3 PM Central Time on the last business day of such month, setting forth the number of shares underlying the Restricted Units to be sold.  The number of shares of Common Stock deemed purchased will equal the actual number of shares of Common Stock that were purchased with the proceeds recognized from the sale of such Fidelity Stock on or after the last business day of such month by the Trust, which shares of Common Stock will then be credited to Account B.  Any transaction costs incurred by the Trust will reduce the proceeds available to be deemed invested in Common Stock.  Any restrictions governing the Restricted Stock Units of Fidelity Stock sold will govern the shares of Common Stock deemed purchased with the proceeds of the deemed sale of such Fidelity Stock.




d.

A Participant’s Account B shall reflect only the performance of Common Stock and Fidelity Stock, if any, which is held in such Account B, and the Participant shall have no property right or security interest in actual shares of Common Stock or Fidelity Stock held by the Trust to provide for the payment of benefits under this Plan. 




5.07.  Change of Accounts.  Once amounts have been allocated to Account B, these amounts must remain in Account B until such amounts are distributed to the Participant pursuant to Article VII hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if cash is received in connection with a 






9




Change in Control or other change in control, such cash will be automatically credited to Account A.  Upon a Change in Control, the Company, the Administrator, or any successor thereto, may not change the investment choices available to Participants hereunder without the consent of a majority of the holders of Account balances under the Plan.







ARTICLE VI




Vesting




Subject to the rights of the Company’s creditors as set forth in Section 5.02 above, the Account of a Participant, including all earnings accrued thereto, shall at all times be fully vested.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Units will not become vested until all forfeiture provisions (including any requirement of future services) have been met.  If such forfeiture provisions are not met, the Restricted Units shall be forfeited and shall be subtracted from the applicable Account.




ARTICLE VII




Distributions




7.01.  For Reasons Other Than Death.  In the event that the value of a Participant’s Accounts exceeds $25,000 in total as of the quarter-end preceding his termination of employment, the Company shall pay an amount equal to the balance of a Participant’s Accounts to him in accordance with his choice on the form of Payment Election, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.  A Participant may make a separate Payment Election for Account A and Account B.  Distributions from Account A shall be in cash and distributions from Account B shall be in Common Stock, except that distributions shall be of Fidelity Stock to the extent the amounts in Account B are denominated in shares of Fidelity Stock.




If a Participant’s employment terminates on or after age 55, other than because of death or Disability, and he has completed at least ten years of Service, he may elect to have his Account balance distributed in accordance with one or more of the following methods, in accordance with the provisions and limitations contained in the Form of Payment Election, as amended from time to time.




(a)

In a lump sum on or before February 15 of the year after the Participant’s employment terminates.




(b)

In monthly installments, starting on January 1st of the year after the Participant’s employment terminates, over 5 years using the declining balance method, computed annually.




(c)

In monthly installments, starting on January 1st of the year after the Participant’s employment terminates, over 10 years using the declining balance method, computed annually.






10










(d)

In monthly installments, starting on January 1st of the year after the Participant’s employment terminates, over 15 years using the declining balance method, computed annually.




(e)

In monthly installments, starting on January 1st of the sixth year after the Participant’s employment terminates, over 5 years using the declining balance method, computed annually.




(f)

In monthly installments, starting on January 1st of the sixth year after the Participant’s employment terminates, over 10 years using the declining balance method, computed annually.




Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.01, if the Participant’s employment terminates (i) prior to age 55, (ii) on or after age 55 because of death or Disability, or (iii) on or after age 55 with less than ten years of Service, and he has elected pay-out pursuant to one of the monthly installment options above, his Account balance will be paid in monthly installments, starting on January 1st of the year after his employment terminates, over 5 years, regardless of his election.  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Common Stock, or, if applicable, Fidelity Stock, from Account B will be paid out on an annual basis starting on February 15 in the year after the Participant’s employment terminates.  Finally, a Participant’s election to have his Account paid out using more than one method will be respected, except that any monthly installment election will be limited to the five-year period set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph.




A Participant may change his Form of Payment Election at any time, however the change will only be effective if filed at least one year prior to his termination of Employment, except in the case of the initial election under the Plan.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.01 and any election previously made by the Participant, in the event that the value of the Accounts of the Participant is less than $25,000 as of the quarter-end preceding the termination of Employment, any distribution to a Participant shall be in the form of a lump sum on or before February 15 of the year after the Participant’s employment terminates.  If a Participant does not timely file a Form of Payment Election, he will be deemed to have elected payment in a lump sum.  If a Participant files only one Form of Payment Election, it will be deemed to cover both Account A and Account B, unless the Participant otherwise designates.




7.02.  Upon Death.




a.

Upon a Participant’s death, any balance remaining in his Accounts shall be paid by the Company in accordance with his Form(s) of Payment Election except that such payments shall be made to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries specified by the Participant or, if none, to his surviving spouse or, if none, to his Estate.  Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive the unpaid balance of his Accounts upon his death and may revoke or modify such designation at any time and from time to time by submitting to the Administrator a Beneficiary Designation substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.






11










b.

If a Participant’s death occurs prior to the payment of any amounts to him hereunder, other than payments for emergencies, the Participant’s Beneficiaries shall receive payments in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof.




c.

If a Participant designates multiple Beneficiaries as either primary or contingent Beneficiaries, and one of the Beneficiaries has predeceased the Participant, the deceased Beneficiary’s share shall go to the Beneficiary’s Estate.  For example, if a Participant designates his spouse as the sole primary beneficiary and his three children as equal contingent beneficiaries, and if the spouse and one child predecease the Participant, the two children would each get one-third of the distributions from the Accounts and the predeceased child’s one-third share would go to his Estate.  The spouse’s Estate would be entitled to nothing.




d.

If a Beneficiary survives a Participant but dies prior to receipt of the entire amount in the Accounts due him, the Company shall make payments to the Estate of the Beneficiary in accordance with the Form of Payment Election.  For example, if the Participant’s spouse is his primary Beneficiary and his three children are his contingent Beneficiaries, and if the spouse survives the Participant such that she is receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of this Plan, but dies prior to the receipt of all distributions to which she is entitled, any remaining distributions shall be paid to the spouse’s Estate and not to the contingent beneficiaries.




7.03.  Emergencies.  In the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency either before or after the commencement of payments hereunder, a Participant or Beneficiary may request in writing that all or any portion of the benefits due him under Account A hereunder be paid prior to the normal time for payment of such amount.  The Administrator shall, in its reasonable judgment, determine whether the applicant could not address the emergency through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of other assets (provided such liquidation, in itself, would not create a financial hardship) or by ceasing deferrals hereunder.  Only if the Administrator determines that such an Unforeseeable Emergency exists, the Company shall pay to the Participant or Beneficiary, as the case may be, an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount requested or (b) the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate the hardship.  The Administrator shall use its reasonable discretion to determine when the payments shall be made and shall immediately reduce the balance in the recipient’s Account A by the amount of such payment.




7.04.  Upon a Change in Control.  The Administrator may allow Participants to make a separate distribution election for Account A and/or Account B in the event of a Change in Control under certain circumstances, provided, that, the period over which distributions may be made shall in no event be longer than that applicable to the Participant under Section 7.01.  A Participant may change his payment election at any time, however the change will only be effective if filed at least one year prior to the Change in Control, except in the case of a Change in Control which occurs prior to December 31, 2004, in which event any election filed by December 31, 2003 will be effective.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.04 and any election previously made by the Participant, in the event that the value of the Accounts of the Participant is less than $25,000 as of the quarter-end preceding the Change in Control, any distribution to a Participant shall be in the form of a lump sum on or before February 15 of the 






12




year after the Change in Control.  If a Participant does not timely file a separate payment election in the event of a Change in Control, he will be deemed to have elected the same distribution schedule as the timely filed Form of Payment Election for Account A.  If no such election has been timely filed, then he will be deemed to have elected payment in a lump sum.







ARTICLE VIII




Administration of the Plan




8.01.  Appointment of Separate Administrator.  The Committee shall, in writing, appoint a separate Administrator.  Any person including, but not limited to, an Employee, shall be eligible to serve as Administrator.  Two or more persons may form a committee to serve as Administrator.  Persons serving as Administrator may resign by written notice to the Committee and the Committee may appoint or remove such persons.  An Administrator consisting of more than one person shall act by a majority of its members at the time in office.  An Administrator consisting of more than one person may authorize any one or more of its members to execute any document or documents on behalf of the Administrator, in which event the Administrator shall notify the Committee of the member or members so designated.  The Committee shall accept and rely upon any document executed by such member or members as written revocation of such designation.

A request for benefits will be considered a claim, and it will be subject to a full and fair review.  If a Participant’s claim is wholly or partially denied, the Company shall furnish the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary (the “Claimant”) or the Claimant’s authorized representative with a written or electronic notice of the denial within a reasonable period of time (generally, 90 days after the Company receives the claim or 180 days, if the Company determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim and furnishes written notice of the extension to the Claimant or the Claimant’s authorized representative before the initial 90-day period ends), which sets forth, in an understandable manner, the following information:




a.

The specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim;


b.

Reference to the specific provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based;

c.

A description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why that material or information is necessary; and

d.

The Company’s written extension notice must indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time for processing the claim and the date by which the Company expects to render its decision on the claim.




The Claimant or the Claimant’s authorized representative may appeal the Company’s decision denying the claim within 60 days after the Claimant or the Claimant’s authorized representative receives the notice denying the claim.  The Claimant or the Claimant’s authorized representative may submit to the Company written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim.  The Claimant or the Claimant’s authorized representative shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim.  The Company’s review of the claim and of its denial of the claim shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant or the Claimant’s authorized representative relating to the claim, without regard to whether these materials were submitted or considered during the initial decision on the claim.




The Company’s decision on the appeal of a denied claim shall be made within a reasonable period of time (generally 60 days after the Company receives the claim or 120 days if the Company determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim and furnishes written notice of the extension to the Claimant or the Claimant’s authorized representative before the initial 60-day period ends indicating the special circumstances requiring extension of time and the date by which the Company expects to render its decision on the claim).  The Company will furnish the Claimant or the Claimant’s authorized representative with written or electronic notice of its decision on appeal.  In the case of a decision on appeal upholding the Company’s initial denial of the claim, the Company’s notice of its decision on appeal shall set forth, in an understandable manner, the following information:




a.

The specific reason(s) for the decision on appeal; 


b.

Reference to the specific provisions in the Plan on which the decision on appeal is based;
