Exhibit 10.9

Amended March15, 2007

Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka

Performance Pay Plan

1. Purpose. The purpose of the Performance Pay Plan (Plan) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka
(Bank) is to attract, motivate and reward employees who are important to the Bank’s success and to
provide an incentive to employees to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Bank. Under the
Plan, incentive compensation shall be earned by the participants defined below for the performance
of services to the Bank during a calendar year (Plan Year) in the amounts provided for.

2. Eligibility and Performance Payments. All regular full-time and part-time employees employed by
the Bank at any time during the Plan Year are eligible to participate in the Plan and are
designated as participants in the Plan (“regular full-time employees” are employees who have a
scheduled work week of at least 40 hours; “regular part-time employees” are employees who regularly
work an average of at least 1,000 hours per year). Participants must be employed in good standing
as of the end of the relevant measurement period. Awards under the Plan shall be based on the
attainment of performance objectives, as set and determined below. Participants are eligible to
receive incentive compensation based upon the percentages of the participant’s regular wage
compensation (exclusive of any awards under this Plan or any other similar incentive plan adopted
by the Bank) actually earned for the Plan Year (“Annual Salary”) or for a calendar quarter
(“Quarterly Salary”) indicated for the level to which the participant has been assigned. The board
of directors shall designate the applicable payout percentage (“level”) at the outstanding level of
achievement for the CEO and his direct reports (“Executives”) and the CEO shall designate the
levels to which all other participants are assigned except that the Audit Committee to the board of
directors will assign the level of the Internal Audit Director and other Internal Audit department
employees. The applicable payout at the outstanding level of achievement for each level is as
follows: Level 1 — 15 percent; Level 2 — 25 percent; Level 3 — 35 percent, Level 4 — 45 percent
and Level 5 — 55 percent.

3. Administration. Except where noted otherwise above or below, the Compensation Committee to the
board shall administer the Plan and shall have full power and authority to construe, interpret,
implement and administer the Plan. Awards to the CEO and the Executives under the Plan shall be
based on the attainment of performance objectives as determined by the Compensation Committee to
the board. Awards to the Internal Audit Director and other Internal Audit employees under the plan
shall be based on the attainment of performance objectives as determined by the Audit Committee to
the board. For all other awards under the Plan, the Compensation Committee delegates to the CEO the
determination whether the performance objective or objectives under which the performance payment
is to be paid has or have been achieved. Except with respect to performance payments payable to
the CEO, Executives, the Internal Audit Director or

 

 

other Internal Audit department employees, the CEO in his or her own discretion has the authority
to reduce or eliminate the amount of a bonus otherwise payable. Similarly, the Compensation
Committee to the board in its discretion has the authority to reduce or eliminate the amount of a
bonus otherwise payable to the CEO or Executives and the Audit Committee to the board in its
discretion has the authority to reduce or eliminate the amount of a bonus otherwise payable to the
Internal Audit Director or other Internal Audit department employees.

4. Performance Objectives. The Compensation Committee to the board shall establish annually the
objectives, percentage weightings and percentage holdback applicable to the CEO and Executives,
subject to final board approval. The Audit Committee to the board of directors shall establish
annually the objectives, percentage weightings and percentage holdback of the Internal Audit
Director and other Internal Audit department employees. The CEO shall establish annually the
objectives, percentage weightings in Level 1, 2, or 3 and percentage holdback applicable to all
other employees. The percentage holdback is a discretionary percentage amount which may be held
back each quarter for eventual payment at year-end, provided average profitability for the plan
year at least meets the annual threshold requirement for the profitability objective. The CEO shall
provide the board of directors an annual report of all objectives set for employees and shall
regularly update the board of directors on the Bank’s performance relative to those objectives.

5. Award of Performance Payments. Each participant will be entitled to incentive compensation based
on the achievement of the objectives assigned to that participant. A participant will not be
entitled to any payout for achievement of threshold or less with respect to an objective.
Achievement of outstanding will entitle a participant to the outstanding percentage payout for the
participant’s payout level multiplied times the participant’s Annual Salary or Quarterly Salary
(depending on the frequency of the payout). Except as may be further defined with respect to a
specific objective, achievement between the threshold and outstanding levels of achievement, or
above the outstanding level of achievement, will entitle the participant to received a pro rata
payout for that objective based on the relative achievement level compared to the threshold and
outstanding performance criteria. Incentive compensation shall be paid to each participant as soon
as practicable after the close of the quarter or year, as applicable to the objective, but in any
event not later than March 15 of the year immediately succeeding the Plan Year of the award. The
Bank shall deduct and withhold from any payment to be made pursuant to the Plan the amount of taxes
required by law to be deducted and withheld from the payment of wages.

6. Termination of Participants. Participants who are not employed by the Bank at the end of a
calendar quarter (with respect to quarterly objectives) or at the end of the Plan Year (with
respect to annual objectives) will be ineligible to receive incentive compensation for that quarter
or year. However, if a participant, other than the CEO, Executives, the Internal Audit Director or
the Internal Audit department employees, terminates from the employ of the Bank because of death,
disability, the elimination of the participant’s job or retirement at normal retirement age as
defined by the Social Security Administration, awards may be prorated through the date of
termination at the discretion of the CEO. If the CEO, Executives, the Internal Audit Director or
other Internal Audit department employees terminate from the employ of the Bank for one of

 

 

the above-described reasons, awards may be prorated through the date of termination at the
discretion of the Compensation Committee to the board, in the case of the CEO or Executives, or the
Audit Committee to the board, in the case of the Internal Audit Director or the Internal Audit
department employees.

7. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a participant, other than the
CEO, Executives, the Internal Audit Director or the Internal Audit department employees, shall
forfeit any amount which may become due under this Plan upon termination of the participant’s
employment with the Bank for cause, or for any other act or conduct which, in the judgment of the
CEO, is prejudicial to or in conflict with the best interests of the Bank. Similarly, the CEO or
executive shall forfeit any amount which may become due under this Plan upon termination of the
CEO’s or executive’s employment with the Bank for cause, or for any other act or conduct which, in
the judgment of the Compensation Committee to the board, is prejudicial to or in conflict with the
best interests of the Bank. In addition, the Internal Audit Director or the Internal Audit
department employees shall forfeit any amount which may become due under this Plan upon termination
of the Director’s or other employee’s employment with the Bank for cause, or for any other act or
conduct which, in the judgment of the Audit Committee to the board, is prejudicial to or in
conflict with the best interests of the Bank.

8. Termination or Amendment. The board of directors may terminate or amend the Plan at any time. A
participant has no vested right to receive any award or benefit under the Plan until it has
actually been paid.

9. No Right to Employment; Alienability. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor its operation shall
be construed to constitute or be evidence of an agreement or understanding expressed or implied on
the part of the Bank to employ or retain any participant or in any way affect the right and power
of the Bank to dismiss any officer, employee or agent, or otherwise terminate the employment or
take other action including, but not limited to, removing the employee from participation in the
Plan, at any time, for any reason, with or without cause. No participant has the right to alienate,
assign, encumber, hypothecate or pledge his or her interest in any award under the Plan,
voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt to do so is void.exv10w1

Dear Mr. Kadolph:

     This Letter Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this

in accordance with generally

 

 

accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, certified,
subject to normal year-end adjustments, by a financial representative of Borrower.

(iii) Copies of all quarterly Federal Financial Institution Examination Council

	 	3.	 	Borrower shall timely perform and observe the following

written consent of Lender.
For the mergers where the Borrower is the “surviving”
entity, approval by the Lender shall be
obtained following the announcement of a definitive agreement.
	 
	 	5.	 	An event of default will occur if either the Borrower or Bank

regulatory action (including a Memorandum of Understanding which
limits in anyway the ability
of the bank to pay dividends to the holding company, a written agreement or Cease & Desist
order).
	 
	 	6.	 	Use of the Revolving Loan for the purpose of acquisitions
must be approved by Lender following
the announcement of a definitive agreement.
	 
	 	7.	 	The Revolving Loan is due on the sale of Bank or Borrower.

shall provide Lender with
acceptable succession plan within 90 days.
	 
	 	9.	 	Other Borrower debt greater than $2,000,000 is prohibited;
this excludes trust preferred.
Approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

 

	 	10.	 	This Letter Agreement amends and restates in its entirety an existing
Letter Agreement dated March 24, 2006, by and between Borrower and Lender.

     A breach of any term or condition in this Agreement shall constitute an additional event of
default under the Note(s) and Lender may, at its option, declare the Note(s) due and payable, and
may pursue all remedies available to it with regard to the Note(s). The undersigned shall reimburse
Lender for all expenses incurred by it in protecting or enforcing its rights under this Note(s),

and after judgment, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses. There will be a 10 day
cure period for payment defaults and a 30 day cure period for covenant defaults.

     In the case of any ambiguity or conflict between this Agreement, any note evidencing a Loan,
or any Security Document, this Agreement will govern.

Agreement by signing and dating below.

	Principal Amount: $75,000,000.00
	 	Date of Note: April 3, 2008

PROMISE TO PAY. Midwest Bane Holdings, Inc. (“Borrower”) promises to pay to M&l Marshall &
llsley Bank (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the
principal amount of Seventy-five Million & 00/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00) or so much as may
be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each
advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each
advance.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all
accrued unpaid interest on April 3, 2008. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly
payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning May 3, 2007,
with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that.
Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied to accrued
interest, principal, late charges, and escrow. The annual interest rate for this Note is
computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a
year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual
number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s
address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time
based on changes in an independent index which is the British Bankers Association (BBA) LIBOR
and reported by a major news service selected by Lender (such as Reuters, Bloomberg or
Moneyline Telerate). If BBA LIBOR for the one month period is not provided or reported on the
first day of a month because, for example, it is a weekend or holiday or for another reason,
the One Month LIBOR Rate shall be established as of the preceding day on which a BBA LIBOR
rate is provided for the one month period and reported by the selected news service (the
“Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the
Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute
index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon
Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each first day of
each calendar month. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as
well. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance during this Note will be
at a rate equal to the Index plus the Applicable Margin. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will
the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than
it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of
Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early
payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments
marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a
payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and
Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written
communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument
that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is
tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount
must be mailed or delivered to: M&l Marshall & llsley Bank, P.O. 3114 Milwaukee, Wl
53201-3114.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid
portion of the regularly scheduled payment.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the
interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding a 3.000 percentage point margin
(“Default Rate Margin”). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest
rate change that would have applied had there been no default. However, in no event will the
interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of
default (“Event of Default”) under this Note: 

Payment
Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under
this Note.

Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation,
covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to
comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any
other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan,
extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other
agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of
Borrower’s property or Borrower’s ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower’s
obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.

False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by
Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or

Borrower.

 

 

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings,
whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of
Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a
garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However,
this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the
validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture
proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding
and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in
an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for
the dispute.

Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any guarantor,
endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser,
surety, or accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity
of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. In the event
of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the guarantors
estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner
satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.

Change In Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common
stock of Borrower.

believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.

all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings,
or some other account): This
includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open
in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for
which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the debt against any and all such accounts,
and, at Lender’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect
Lender’s charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

as directions for payment from Borrower’s accounts, may be requested orally or in writing by
Borrower or by an authorized person. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be
confirmed in writing. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance
with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower’s accounts with
Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by
endorsements on this Note or by Lender’s internal records, including daily computer print-outs.

with Lender, including any agreement made in connection with the signing of this Note; (B)

GENERAL PROVISIONS. This Note benefits Lender and its successors and assigns, and binds Borrower
and Borrower’s heirs, successors, assigns, and representatives. If any part of this Note cannot be

of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who
signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand
for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless
otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor,
accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that
Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party

in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or
notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent
