|5. | PERFORMANCE
MEASURES
|-- | --------------------

| | Performance
Measures shall be defined and calculated as follows:
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Profitability
Criteria
| | ----------------------

| | 1. | Realize
diluted earnings per share at the Holding Company level for 2006 (with           options
expensed) of:
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|$*** | Minimum
|---- | -------
|$*** | Target 
|$*** | Maximum

| | No
awards (except the discretionary element of the plan) will be payable under the plan if
the minimum realized diluted earnings (with options expensed)per share goal is not
met. In addition, TierOne Bank must be classified as an adequately
capitalized institution as defined by the Assessment Risk Classification
letter from the FDIC. The realized diluted earnings per share goal is calculated on a
calendar year basis at the Holding Company level. Percentage accomplishment for the
realized diluted earnings per share goal will be interpolated between the minimum
and maximum range but no interpolation will be applied to the other three goals
All goals are exclusive of gains associated with or expenses incurred in special
counsels, experts and accountants professional statements for the
goodwill litigation and related tax case. Due to the time lag in reporting peer
group performance, bank goals which compare to peer performance are judged on the
quarters ending 12/31/05, 3/31/06, 6/30/06 and 9/30/06. All peer group goals are
at the bank level, not the Holding Company level. If a member of the peer group
stops filing a TFR or Call Report, that member will be removed from the group for the
entire years performance.

Directors in the case of Incentive Committee members) are deemed to have significant

year for employees promoted or newly hired into eligible positions on an individual basis.
Employees selected as Participants shall be notified of their selection (Annual
Notification Letter) as soon as possible after the Committee has made its decision.
Selection as a Participant in no way guarantees that an Incentive Award will be paid. The
Senior Officer will be required to submit recommendations on Participants annually.

|9. | INCENTIVE
AWARDS
|-- | ----------------

| | General
Description. Incentive awards are based on the extent to which predetermined financial
and individual goals are attained as well as by a discretionary bonus. Financial goals are
based on actual performance of the Company; individual goals include key qualitative
and/or quantitative objectives established for specific positions; and discretionary bonus
payments are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors for the
CEO and Incentive Plan Committee members and by the CEO, with Committee approval, for
other Participants. The relative weight placed on each component (organizational
performance, individual performance or discretionary), and the potential size of the Award
may vary by position as determined by the Committee.

|                                                   

| | Individual
Incentive Award Opportunities. Each Participant shall have the opportunity to earn a
specified percentage of base salary as an Incentive Award. The range of the incentive
opportunity depends on the impact level to which the Participants position has been
assigned. The range has three guideposts of Minimum, Target and Maximum which are defined
below.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Individual
Performance Objectives: Participants who have an allocation toward individual goals
will develop performance objectives for the coming Plan year in conjunction with their
managers. These objectives will be submitted to the Committee for review and approval
prior to the beginning of the Plan year. The Committee will prescribe the format and
procedures by which the objectives will be developed. Individual performance below the
Meets Expectations performance level developed for any position will result in
the loss of the right to earn incentive amounts based on Company performance.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In
the event of a merger or acquisition (whether or not completed), individual goals of
certain personnel may be amended with the approval of the Committee.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Minimum:
The lowest level of organizational performance needed for payment of an incentive award
based on Company or individual performance. No payment will be made for performance below
this level; however; a discretionary payment may still be received. The Company must
achieve the Minimum level of performance of the Diluted Earnings Per Share Goal before any
payment, other than the discretionary bonus, may be paid.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Target:
The level of Incentive Award payable for achieving the selected performance measurement.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Maximum:
 The maximum level of Incentive Award that will be paid for performance.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Performance
Measures and Standards. Performance measures and standards support the business
objectives and the strategic direction of the Company and will be recommended annually by
the Incentive Committee to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will review and approve the
organizational financial measures.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Organizational
Financial Measures: Organizational financial measures may be measured in terms of
growth, volume or any other criteria selected by the Committee. The Annual Notification
Letter will specify the performance measure(s) and the standards (the performance
requirement associated with minimum, target and maximum incentive opportunities) in effect
for the coming year and the weight assigned to each goal.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|10. | PAYMENTS
|--- | --------

| | a. | Form
and Timing. Payments will be made in cash no later than 90 days                after
the end of the Plan year to those Participants who are employed by the
               Company on the last day of the Plan year. Because Peer Group information
for all                quarters is not readily available at year-end, information from
the TFRs or Call                Reports for the four quarters ending September 30 will be
used.

amendment or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant

Plan, the Plan will be amended to reflect regulatory requirements.

Company                or affect the right of the Company to dismiss any Participant. The
receipt of an                Incentive Payment for any one year shall not guarantee a
Participant the right                to receive an Incentive Payment for any subsequent
year.
