FIRST COMMUNITY FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED  
2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Article 1 
GENERAL
Section 1.1    Purpose, Effective Date and Term.  The purpose of the First Community Financial Partners Amended and Restated 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the long-term financial success of First Community Financial Partners, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries by providing a means to attract, retain and reward individuals who can and do contribute to such success and to further align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.  The Plan was previously amended and restated, effective as of March 18, 2009, to completely amend and restate, and incorporate into the Plan, the First Community Financial Partners, Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and the First Community Financial Partners, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) (the 2006 Plan and the 2007 Plan hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Prior Plans”).  The Plan is now being further amended and restated.  The “Effective Date” of this Plan is May 20, 2009, subject to approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders.  The Plan shall remain in effect as long as any awards under it are outstanding; provided, however, that no awards may be granted under the Plan after the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date.
Section 1.2    Assumption of Prior Plans.  This Plan expressly assumes and incorporates all outstanding awards issued under the terms of the Prior Plans.  Any awards issued under the Prior Plans shall hereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, except as otherwise provided herein.
Section 1.3    Administration.  The authority to control and manage the operation of the Plan shall be vested in a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), in accordance with Section 5.1.
Section 1.4    Participation.  Each employee or Director of, or service provider to, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company who is granted an award in accordance with the terms of the Plan shall be a “Participant” in the Plan.  Awards under the Plan shall be limited to employees and Directors of, and service providers to, the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that an award (other than an award of an ISO) may be granted to an individual prior to the date on which he or she first performs services as an employee or a Director, provided that such award does not become vested prior to the date such individual first performs services as an employee or Director of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Section 1.5    Definitions.  Capitalized terms in the Plan shall be defined as set forth in the Plan (including the definition provisions of Article 8).
Article 2     
AWARDS

474886_6 

Section 2.1    General.  Any award under the Plan may be granted singularly, in combination with another award (or awards), or in tandem whereby the exercise or vesting of one award held by a Participant cancels another award held by the Participant.  Each award under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and such additional terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Committee shall provide with respect to such award and as evidenced in the Award Agreement.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, an award may be granted as an alternative to or replacement of an existing award under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plan or arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including without limitation the plan of any entity acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary.  The types of awards that may be granted under the Plan include:
(a)    Stock Options.  A stock option represents the right to purchase shares of Stock at an Exercise Price established by the Committee.  Any option may be either an incentive stock option (an “ISO”) that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an “incentive stock option” described in Code Section 422(b) or a non-qualified option that is not intended to be an ISO, provided, however, that no ISOs may be:  (i) granted after the ten‐year anniversary of the earlier of the Effective Date or shareholder approval of the Plan; or (ii) granted to a non‐employee.  Unless otherwise specifically provided by its terms, any option granted under the Plan shall be a non-qualified option.  Any ISO granted under this Plan that does not qualify as an ISO for any reason shall be deemed to be a non-qualified option.  In addition, any ISO granted under this Plan may be unilaterally modified by the Committee to disqualify such option from ISO treatment such that it shall become a non-qualified option.
(b)    Stock Appreciation Rights.  A stock appreciation right (an “SAR”) is a right to receive, in cash, Stock or a combination of both (as shall be reflected in the Award Agreement), an amount equal to or based upon the excess of: (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the time of exercise; over (ii) an Exercise Price established by the Committee.
(c)    Stock Awards.  A stock award is a grant of shares of Stock or a right to receive shares of Stock (or their cash equivalent or a combination of both) in the future.  Such awards may include, but shall not be limited to, bonus shares, stock units, performance shares, performance units, restricted stock or restricted stock units or any other equity-based award as determined by the Committee.
(d)    Cash Incentive Awards.  A cash incentive award is the grant of a right to receive a payment of cash, determined on an individual basis or as an allocation of an incentive pool (or Stock having a value equivalent to the cash otherwise payable) that is contingent on the achievement of performance objectives established by the Committee.
Section 2.2    Exercise of Options and SARs.  An option or SAR shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee.  In no event, however, shall an option or SAR expire later than ten (10) years after the date of its grant (five (5) years in the case of a 10% Stockholder with respect to an ISO).  The “Exercise Price” of each option and SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Stock); provided, 

2

however, that the Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant in the case of a 10% Stockholder; further, provided, that, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, the Exercise Price may be higher or lower in the case of options or SARs granted in replacement of existing awards held by an employee, Director or service provider granted under a Prior Plan or by an acquired entity.  The payment of the Exercise Price of an option shall be by cash or, subject to limitations imposed by applicable law, by such other means as the Committee may from time to time permit, including:  (a) by tendering, either actually or by attestation, shares of Stock acceptable to the Committee, and valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise; (b) by irrevocably authorizing a third party, acceptable to the Committee, to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the option and to remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise; (c) by personal, certified or cashiers’ check; (d) by other property deemed acceptable by the Committee; or (e) by any combination thereof.
Section 2.3    Performance-Based Compensation. Any award under the Plan which is intended to be “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more objective performance measures, to the extent required by Code Section 162(m), as may be determined by the Committee.  The grant of any award and the establishment of performance measures that are intended to be performance-based compensation shall be made during the period required under Code Section 162(m).  This Section 2.3 shall not apply prior to the Listing Date.
(a)    Performance Measures.  Such performance measures may be based on any one or more of the following: earnings (e.g., earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; or earnings per share); financial return ratios (e.g., return on investment, return on invested capital, return on equity or return on assets); increase in revenue, operating or net cash flows; cash flow return on investment; total stockholder return; market share; net operating income, operating income or net income; debt load reduction; expense management; economic value added; stock price; assets, asset quality level, charge offs, loan reserves, non‐performing assets, loans, deposits, growth of loans, deposits or assets; interest sensitivity gap levels; regulatory compliance; improvement of financial rating; gross premiums written, net premiums written, or premiums earned; losses and loss expenses; underwriting and administrative expenses; achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives; and strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specific cost targets; and business expansion goals and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures.   Performance measures may be based on the performance of the Company as a whole or of any one or more Subsidiaries or business units of the Company or a Subsidiary and may be measured relative to a peer group, an index or a business plan.
(b)    Partial Achievement.  The terms of any award may provide that partial achievement of the performance measures may result in a payment or vesting based upon the degree of achievement.  In addition, partial achievement of performance measures shall apply toward a Participant’s individual limitations as set forth in Section 3.3.

3

(c)    Extraordinary Items.  In establishing any performance measures, the Committee may provide for the exclusion of the effects of the following items, to the extent identified in the audited financial statements of the Company, including footnotes, or in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the Company’s annual report:  (i) extraordinary, unusual, and/or nonrecurring items of gain or loss; (ii) gains or losses on the disposition of a business; (iii) changes in tax or accounting principles, regulations or laws; or (iv) mergers or acquisitions.  To the extent not specifically excluded, such effects shall be included in any applicable performance measure.
(d)    Adjustments.  Pursuant to this Section 2.3, in certain circumstances the Committee may adjust performance measures; provided, however, no adjustment may be made with respect to an award that is intended to be performance-based compensation, except to the extent the Committee exercises such negative discretion as is permitted under applicable law for purposes of an exception under Code Section 162(m).  If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner in which the Company or its Subsidiaries conducts its business or other events or circumstances render current performance measures to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify such performance measures, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate.  If a Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the selected performance measures or applicable performance period are no longer appropriate, in which case, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may: (i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance measures or change the applicable performance period; or (ii) cause to be made a cash payment to the Participant in an amount determined by the Committee.
Section 2.4    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.  Any award under the Plan, including any option or SAR, may provide the Participant with the right to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments with respect to shares of Stock subject to the award, which payments may be either made currently or credited to an account for the Participant, may be settled in cash or Stock and may be subject to restrictions similar to the underlying award.
Section 2.5    Deferred Compensation.  If any award would be considered “deferred compensation” as defined under Code Section 409A (“Deferred Compensation”), the Committee reserves the absolute right (including the right to delegate such right) to unilaterally amend the Plan or the Award Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, to avoid the application of, or to maintain compliance with, Code Section 409A.  Any amendment by the Committee to the Plan or an Award Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall maintain, to the extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating Code Section 409A.  A Participant’s acceptance of any award under the Plan constitutes acknowledgement and consent to such rights of the Committee, without further consideration or action.  Any discretionary authority retained by the Committee pursuant to the terms of this Plan or pursuant to an Award Agreement shall not be applicable to an award which is determined to constitute Deferred Compensation, if such discretionary authority would contravene Code Section 409A.
Section 2.6    Repricing of Awards.  Except for adjustments pursuant to Section 3.4 (relating to the adjustment of shares), and reductions of the Exercise Price approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Exercise Price for any outstanding option may not be decreased after 

4

the date of grant nor may an outstanding option granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a replacement option with a lower exercise price.
Section 2.7    Forfeiture of Awards.  Unless specifically provided to the contrary in an Award Agreement, upon notification of Termination of Service for Cause, any outstanding award whether vested or unvested, held by a Participant shall terminate immediately, the award shall be forfeited and the Participant shall have no further rights thereunder.
Article 3     
SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN
Section 3.1    Available Shares.  The shares of Stock with respect to which awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued, currently held or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, subsequently acquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.
Section 3.2    Share Limitations.  
(a)    Share Reserve.  Subject to the following provisions of this Section 3.2, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries in the aggregate under the Plan and the Prior Plans shall be equal to 715,000 shares of Stock (all of which may be granted as ISOs to the extent that such shares are granted under the Plan) less that number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the Plan and Prior Plans as of the Effective Date.  As of the Effective Date, no further awards shall be granted pursuant to the Prior Plans.  The aggregate number of shares available for grant under this Plan (including the number that may be granted as ISOs) and the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4.
(b)    Reuse of Shares.  To the extent any shares of Stock covered by an award (including stock awards), under the Plan, are forfeited or are not delivered to a Participant or beneficiary for any reason, including because the award is forfeited, canceled or settled in cash, or if any shares of Stock are not delivered because the shares are used to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation, such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan and shall again become eligible for issuance under the Plan.  With respect to SARs that are settled in Stock, only actual shares delivered shall be counted for purposes of these limitations.  If the Exercise Price of any option granted under the Plan is satisfied by tendering shares of Stock to the Company (whether by actual delivery or by attestation and whether or not such surrendered shares were acquired pursuant to any award granted under the Plan), only the number of shares of Stock issued net of the shares of Stock tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan.
Section 3.3    Limitations on Grants to Individuals.  With respect to Awards granted at anytime after the Listing Date, the following limitations shall be applicable:

5

(a)    Options and SARs.  The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be subject to options or SARs granted to any one Participant during any calendar year and are intended to be “performance-based compensation” (as that term is used for purposes of Code Section 162(m)) and then only to the extent that such limitation is required by Code Section 162(m), shall be 125,000.  For purposes of this Section 3.3(a), if an option is in tandem with an SAR, such that the exercise of the option or SAR with respect to a share of Stock cancels the tandem SAR or option right, respectively, with respect to such share, the tandem option and SAR rights with respect to each share of Stock shall be counted as covering but one share of Stock for purposes of applying the limitations of this Section 3.3(a).
(b)    Stock Awards.  The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be subject to stock awards described under Section 2.1(c) which are granted to any one Participant during any calendar year and are intended to be “performance-based compensation” (as that term is used for purposes of Code Section 162(m)) and then only to the extent that such limitation is required by Code Section 162(m), shall be 50,000.
(c)    Cash Incentive Awards and Stock Awards Settled in Cash.  The maximum dollar amount that may be payable to a Participant pursuant to cash incentive awards described under Section 2.1(d) or cash‐settled stock awards under Section 2.1(c) which are granted to any one Participant during any calendar year and are intended to be performance-based compensation (as that term is used for purposes of Code Section 162(m)) and then only to the extent that such limitation is required by Code Section 162(m), shall be two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000).
(d)    Dividend, Dividend Equivalents and Earnings.  For purposes of determining whether an award is intended to be qualified as performance‐based compensation under the foregoing limitations of this Section 3.3, (i) the right to receive dividends and dividend equivalents with respect to any award which is not yet vested shall be treated as a separate award; and (ii) if the delivery of any shares or cash under an award is deferred, any earnings, including dividends and dividend equivalents, shall be disregarded.
(e)    Partial Performance.   Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 3.3, if in respect of any performance period or restriction period, the Committee grants to a Participant awards having an aggregate dollar value and/or number of shares less than the maximum dollar value and/or number of shares that could be paid or awarded to such Participant based on the degree to which the relevant performance measures were attained, the excess of such maximum dollar value and/or number of shares over the aggregate dollar value and/or number of shares actually subject to awards granted to such Participant shall be carried forward and shall increase the maximum dollar value and/or the number of shares that may be awarded to such Participant in respect of the next performance period in respect of which the Committee grants to such Participant an award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” (as that term is used for purposes of Code Section 162(m)), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof.
Section 3.4    Corporate Transactions.  In the event of a corporate transaction involving the Company or the shares of Stock of the Company (including any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-

6

off, combination or exchange of shares), all outstanding awards under the Plan and the Prior Plans, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan under Section 3.2 and each of the specified limitations set forth in Section 3.3 shall automatically be adjusted to proportionately and uniformly reflect such transaction (but only to the extent that such adjustment will not affect the status of an award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), if applicable); provided, however, that the Committee may otherwise adjust awards (or prevent such automatic adjustment) as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the awards and the Plan.  Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards; (iii) adjustment of the Exercise Price of outstanding options and SARs; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable (which may include, (A) replacement of awards with other awards which the Committee determines have comparable value and which are based on stock of a company resulting from the transaction, and (B) cancellation of the award in return for cash payment of the current value of the award, determined as though the award were fully vested at the time of payment, provided that in the case of an option or SAR, the amount of such payment shall be no less than the excess of the value of the Stock subject to the option or SAR at the time of the transaction over the Exercise Price).
Section 3.5    Delivery of Shares.  Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to the following:
(a)    Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution complies with all applicable laws (including the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.
(b)    Certificates.  To the extent that the Plan provides for the issuance of shares of Stock, the issuance may be affected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.
Article 4     
CHANGE IN CONTROL
Section 4.1    Consequence of a Change in Control.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4 (relating to the adjustment of shares), and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the terms of any Award Agreement:
(a)    At the time of a Change in Control, all options and SARs then held by the Participant shall become fully exercisable immediately upon the Change in Control (subject to the expiration provisions otherwise applicable to the option or SAR).
(b)    At the time of a Change in Control, all stock awards described in Section 2.1(c) or cash incentive awards described in Section 2.1(d) shall be fully earned and vested immediately upon the Change in Control.

7

Section 4.2    Definition of Change in Control.  For purposes of the Plan, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred on the earliest of the following dates:
(a)    On the scheduled expiration date of a tender offer by, or exchange offer by any corporation, person, other entity or group (other than the Company, any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries or a qualified retirement plan of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries), to acquire Voting Securities of the Company if:
(i)    after giving effect to such offer such corporation, person, other entity or group would own fifty percent (50%) or more of the Voting Securities of the Company;
(ii)    there shall have been filed documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection therewith (or, if no such filing is required, public evidence that the offer has already commenced); and
(iii)    such corporation, person, other entity or group has secured all required regulatory approvals to own or control fifty percent (50%) or more of the Voting Securities of the Company.
(b)    If the stockholders of the Company approve a definitive agreement to merge or consolidate the Company with or into another corporation in a transaction in which neither the Company nor any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries will be the surviving corporation, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any corporation, person, other entity or group (other than the Company, any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries or a qualified retirement plan of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries), and such definitive agreement is consummated.
(c)    If any corporation, person, other entity or group (other than the Company or any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries) becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined in the Company’s articles of incorporation) of Stock representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the Voting Securities of the Company.
(d)    If during any period of two (2) consecutive years Continuing Directors cease to comprise a majority of the Company’s Board.
In the event that an Option constitutes Deferred Compensation, and the settlement of, or distribution of benefits under such Option is to be triggered by a Change in Control, the foregoing definition of Change in Control shall be utilized to the maximum extent permitted under Code Section 409A, and it shall be modified only as necessary to conform to the requirements of Code Section 409A as in effect at the time of such transaction.
Article 5     
COMMITTEE

8

Section 5.1    Administration.  The authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Committee in accordance with this Article 5.  The Committee shall be selected by the Board; provided, however, that, after the Listing Date, if the Plan is to be administered by a committee, then the Committee shall consist of two (2) or more members of the Board, each of whom are both a “non-employee director” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) and an “outside director” (within the meaning of Code Section 162(m)).  Subject to applicable stock exchange rules, if the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee.
Section 5.2    Powers of Committee.  The Committee’s administration of the Plan shall be subject to the following:
(a)    Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to select from among the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees, Directors and service providers those persons who shall receive awards, to determine the time or times of receipt, to determine the types of awards and the number of shares covered by the awards, to establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria, restrictions, and other provisions of such awards, (subject to the restrictions imposed by Article 6) to cancel or suspend awards and to reduce or eliminate any restrictions or vesting requirements applicable to an award at any time after the grant of the award.
(b)      Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant awards which shall not qualify for the exception for performance-based compensation from the tax deductibility limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may make such grants or awards, or may amend the Plan to provide for such grants or awards, without satisfying the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.
(c)    The Committee will have the authority and discretion to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
(d)    The Committee will have the authority to define terms not otherwise defined herein.  
(e)    Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it under the Plan is final and binding on all persons.

9

all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it, including:  (a) delegating to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not “outside directors” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), the authority to grant awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are either:  (i) not then “covered employees,” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and are not expected to be “covered employees” at the time of recognition of income resulting from such award; or (ii) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Code Section 162(m); and/or (b) delegating to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not “non-employee directors,” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, the authority to grant awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.  The acts of such delegates shall be treated hereunder as acts of the Committee and such delegates shall report regularly to the Committee regarding the delegated duties and responsibilities and any awards so granted.  Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.
Section 5.4    Information to be Furnished to Committee.  As may be permitted by applicable law, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall furnish the Committee with such data and information as it determines may be required for it to discharge its duties.  The records of the Company and its Subsidiaries as to an employee’s or Participant’s employment, termination of employment, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive on all persons unless determined by the Committee to be manifestly incorrect.  Subject to applicable law, Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee such evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the terms of the Plan.
Section 5.5    Expenses and Liabilities.

Article 6     
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
Section 6.1    General.  The Board may, as permitted by law, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and may amend any Award Agreement, provided that no amendment or termination (except as provided in Section 2.5, Section 3.4 and Section 6.2) may, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), impair the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any award granted which was granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board; provided, however, that, following the Listing Date, no amendment may (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan; (b) materially increase the aggregate number of securities which may be issued under the Plan, other than pursuant to Section 3.4, or (c) materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, unless the amendment under (a), (b) or (c) above is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

10

Section 6.2    Amendment to Conform to Law.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may amend the Plan or an Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or the Award Agreement to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Code Section 409A).  By accepting an award under this Plan, each Participant agrees and consents to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 6.2 or Section 2.5 to any award granted under this Plan without further consideration or action.
Article 7     
GENERAL TERMS
Section 7.1    No Implied Rights.
(a)    No Rights to Specific Assets.  Neither a Participant nor any other person shall by reason of participation in the Plan acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan.  A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the Stock or amounts, if any, payable or distributable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.
(b)    No Contractual Right to Employment or Future Awards.  The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any participating employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan.  No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to receive a future award under this Plan.
(c)    No Rights as a Stockholder.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.
Section 7.2    Transferability.  Except as otherwise so provided by the Committee, awards under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  The Committee shall have the discretion to permit the transfer of awards under the plan; provided, however, that such transfers shall be limited to immediate family members of participants, trusts, limited liability companies and partnerships established for the primary benefit of such family members or to charitable organizations, and; provided, further, that such transfers are not made for consideration to the Participant.  For purposes of this Section 7.2, “immediate family members” shall include a Participant’s father, mother, brother, sister, child, spouse, grandparent and grandchild, including any step member.  Any legally adopted child of an individual shall be treated as a child of such individual by blood.

11

Section 7.3    Restrictions on Transfer.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.3 shall have no further effect on or after the Listing Date.
(a)    Restrictions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, an Owner may not sell or otherwise transfer Stock issued under the Plan at any time in which (i) the Company or any of its executive officers are prohibited from engaging in a transaction of the Company's securities pursuant to the terms of the Company's insider trading policy then in effect; or (ii) the Company is unable to purchase the Stock issued under the Plan pursuant to (A) the Exchange Act or (B) the rules governing any securities exchange or quotation service on which the Stock is quoted or listed for trading.  For purposes of this Section 7.3, an “Owner” shall include any individual who directly acquires Stock under the Plan (a “Grantee”) or any individual who has acquired from a Grantee by gift, testamentary transfer or any other non-sale transaction any Stock that was originally issued under the Plan.  Each certificate issued under the Plan shall bear the legend provided under Section 7.3(b).
(b)    Legends.  Each certificate issued by the Company that represents any Stock issued under the Plan shall bear the following legends:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ‘SECURITIES ACT’), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAW, AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (A) THEY ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAW OR (B) SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.”
Section 7.4    Designation of Beneficiaries.  A Participant hereunder may file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries under this Plan and may from time to time revoke or amend any such designation (“Beneficiary Designation”).  Any designation of beneficiary under this Plan shall be controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or otherwise; provided, however, that if the Committee is in doubt as to the entitlement of any such beneficiary to any award, the Committee may determine to recognize only the legal representative of the Participant in which case the Company, the Committee and the members thereof shall not be under any further liability to anyone.
Section 7.5    Non-Exclusivity.  Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of restricted stock, stock options or other equity awards otherwise than under the Plan or an arrangement that is or is not intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
Section 7.6    Award Agreement.  Each award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.  A copy of the Award Agreement, in any medium chosen by the Committee, 

12

shall be provided (or made available electronically) to the Participant, and the Committee may but need not require that the Participant sign a copy of the Award Agreement.
Section 7.7    Form and Time of Elections.  Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification, or revocation thereof, shall be filed with the Company at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require.
Section 7.8    Evidence.  Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.
Section 7.9    Tax Withholding.  All distributions under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes and the Committee may condition the delivery of any shares or other benefits under the Plan on satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations.  Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, such withholding obligations may be satisfied:  (a) through cash payment by the Participant; (b) through the surrender of shares of Stock which the Participant already owns; or (c) through the surrender of shares of Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however, that except as otherwise specifically provided by the Committee, such shares under clause (c) may not be used to satisfy more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation.
Section 7.10    Action by Company or Subsidiary.  Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution of its board of directors, or by action of one or more members of the board (including a committee of the board) who are duly authorized to act for the board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of any stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer of the Company or such Subsidiary.
Section 7.11    Successors.  All obligations of the Company under this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business, Stock, and/or assets of the Company.
Section 7.12    Indemnification.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Section 5.3, or an employee of the Company shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss (including amounts paid in settlement), cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless 

13

such loss, cost, liability, or expense is a result of his or her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s charter or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
Section 7.13    No Fractional Shares.  Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, no fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any award.  The Committee shall determine whether cash, Stock or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
Section 7.14    Governing Law.  The Plan, all awards granted hereunder, and all actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except as superseded by applicable federal law.
Section 7.15    Benefits Under Other Plans.  Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, awards to a Participant (including the grant and the receipt of benefits) under the Plan shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Participant’s benefits under, or contributions to, any Qualified Retirement Plan, non-qualified plan and any other benefit plans maintained by the Participant’s employer.  The term “Qualified Retirement Plan” means any plan of the Company or a Subsidiary that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a).
Section 7.16    Validity.  If any provision of this Plan is determined to be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision has never been included herein.
Section 7.17    Notice.  Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, all written notices and all other written communications to the Company provided for in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid (provided that international mail shall be sent via overnight or two-day delivery), or sent by facsimile or prepaid overnight courier to the Company at the address set forth below.

WHEREAS, pursuant to and subject to Article 6 of the Plan, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company may amend the Plan at any time;
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend the Plan to (i) increase the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company that may be delivered under the Plan by 1,000,000, from 1,430,000 (715,000 prior to stock split) to 2,430,000, provided that none of the newly available shares may be granted as incentive stock options and (ii) make other changes as described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Board has duly authorized the undersigned officer to carry out the foregoing.
NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of December 21, 2011, the Plan is hereby amended in the following particulars:
